The winter solstice holiday is actually not long, basically the main day plus two days before and after, only five days off. Compared with the fifteen-day long holiday of the Spring Festival, it doesn't seem to be a big holiday. However, the legal status of the winter solstice is much higher than that of the New Year's Day and the Spring Festival, because this day is the day for the people of the whole country to worship their ancestors.

Even if the army is out on the march, a god will be set up for the soldiers to worship their ancestors. All merchants must also go home before the winter solstice, report to their ancestors the results of the year, and ask for protection.

Xu Yuanzuo hired a local young man in Xia Wei to watch the garden, and booked a boat to send the apprentices home. He was going back with his sister, otherwise a female relative would be quite eye-catching in a group of teenagers. However, on the day he was leaving, Niu Dali came to him.

"You're bold now!" Niu Dali's first sentence when he entered the door was amazed.

Xu Yuanzuo invited him to sit on the fur-covered Zen chair, and then said: "This is the reception room of the garden management company, and it is not my home." ”

"Being able to manage such a big industry is already a creation, do you still want it to be yours?" Niu Dali sat down with a grin and said, "You don't want to go back to Zhuli?" ”

"Isn't that you?" Xu Yuanzuo personally poured tea for Niu Dali: "I was going to leave today." ”

"Good thing you've been waiting for me." Niu Dali picked up the coarse leaf old tea and took a sip: "Good tea!" ”

Xu Yuanzuo knew that he didn't understand tea, but fortunately he didn't waste really good tea. He said, "Do you want to take care of me and let me go over to do the accounting?" ”

"You are so arrogant now, how dare you still ask you to settle accounts." Niu Dali said: "I'm here to tell you about something, I don't know how you can thank me." ”

Xu Yuanzuo smiled: "It depends on how big this matter is." I will not treat anyone who is good to me after all. ”

Niu Dali took another sip of tea and said, "You Xu Mansion is also restless." Seeing Xu Yuanzuo looking at him quietly, he didn't answer, so he had to continue: "The steward named Xu Sheng before sold invitations. ”

Xu Yuanzuo said quietly: "What's wrong with him?" ”

"He found Qiu Laojiu and wanted to buy a corpse, guess where he was going to throw it?" Niu Dali asked.

"Here." Xu Yuanzuo said lightly.

Niu Dali didn't know that Xu Yuanzuo was a person with a lot of power, and he was a little surprised to see him so calm and calm: "You know!" ”

Xu Yuanzuo smiled noncommittally, and said secretly in his heart: Isn't that what you just told me?

Niu Dali was quite annoyed and said, "I knew that you already knew, why should I cut out a piece of fat from Dongjiaqiao!" ”

Xu Yuanzuo seemed to laugh when he heard it. He just thought about it before and after, and guessed that the fat of Dongjiaqiao was obtained by Niu Dali through betting. Thinking about Niu Dali's qualifications and ability, most of this piece of fat can't be kept, even if it's his own uncle, he can't completely favor his nephew and hurt the hearts of his old subordinates. So it's only a matter of time before you spit it out and how much you spit out, and Qiu Laojiu sent a message, which can be regarded as saving the face of Sixth Master An.

"That's a loss." Xu Yuanzuo was moved: "I knew this was the case, as soon as I knew, I should have discussed it with you, and I shouldn't have dragged it out." ”

"Isn't that what you said!" Niu Dali thought that Xu Yuanzuo had been arrested, and he was proud in his heart, and said, "Now that you know, what are your plans?" ”

"I've asked someone to watch the garden, but I'm afraid that there will be loopholes, so I haven't thought about it." Xu Yuanzuo said: "How do people deal with this kind of thing? ”

Niu Dali laughed and said, "Your life is so worthless? Who would do such a thing until you live or die? Once it spreads, it won't have a good reputation. I can see that you have provoked this man to the extreme. ”

"Brother, don't make fun of me." Xu Yuanzuo said: "There is only one day to catch thieves, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves in a thousand days?" Brother, give me a good word. ”

"Qiu Laojiu actually doesn't want to really get to this point, in the end, your side is also the Xu family's industry, how can outsiders interfere?" Niu Dali said this, and his heart lit up: It's a dog! Qiu Lao Jiu told me this news, I just didn't want to do it!

"That's for the best." Xu Yuanzuo said.

"But Xu Sheng's side can't be offended." Niu Dali said: "I came here today to hear what you think." ”

"This matter, in fact, it depends on Sixth Master An." Xu Yuanzuo groaned slightly: "Xu Sheng found Qiu Laojiu, didn't he just force Sixth Master An to express his position?" ”

"He found Qiu Laojiu...... Hey! That's right! Niu Dali just wanted to say that Xu Sheng didn't know An Liuye, but after thinking about it, if this is the case, wouldn't it mean that in these few acres of land in Songjiang Mansion, Qiu Laojiu's name is bigger than An Liuye! Wouldn't Qiu Laojiu be able to rely on the Xu Mansion to become an independent portal?

"I really have to let my uncle know about this." Niu Dali groaned.

Xu Yuanzuo nodded and said, "This matter, I know that I want to be offended." But that's no longer possible. I'll give you a thorough explanation: Behind Xu Sheng is Xu Kunkun's second master, and behind my garden management line is Uncle Fan, who is the fourth grade. That is the eldest son who has never left the elder of the pavilion since he was a child, and in the past the elder of the pavilion was the prime minister in Beijing, but he helped to write government affairs. ”

Even if Xu Fan really participates in government affairs, it is not something that people at Xu Yuanzuo's level can know. Niu Dali has been frightened by this neighborhood, and he is convinced. However, just the official body of the fourth grade is enough for An Liuye to weigh it carefully.

Niu vigorously stretched out his palm, wiped his forehead, wiped his hair with the oil on his forehead, and finally rubbed it on his leg again, obviously deeply tangled.

"That's not right!" Niu vigorously slapped his thigh: "I just came here to spread the news, how did I seem to be caught in it!" This has something to do with me! ”

Xu Yuanzuo said with a straight face: "Vigorously, it's not my brother who said you." Since you are eating with An Liuye, you have to think about him everywhere and at all times. Like Qiu Laojiu, he took the silver himself and hooked up with Xu Sheng, but smashed An Liuye's job. Sixth Master An can't get along in Songjiang Mansion anymore, can you still get around? He hates Lao Jiu for being able to take refuge in others, you are An Liuye's nephew, who dares to rest assured of you? ”

Niu Dali gently touched the hard hairs that had just emerged on the side of his mouth, and nodded slowly: "It's a little reasonable." ”

"That's the truth. The ancients said: If the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached, that is: the skin is gone, and your hair will be shiny and black, and it will grow on the bones? Xu Yuanzuo glanced at Niu Dali, and he hated iron but not steel.

Niu nodded vigorously: "You're right, this matter really can't be done by Qiu Laojiu." But I don't think Qiu Laojiu is determined to do it...... Hey, anyway, we're just the little shrimp below, and it's a problem to get involved in this kind of thing. ”

Xu Yuanzuo said with a smile: "It's not necessarily a benefit. He leaned over to Niu Dali and said, "If you can take Xu Sheng's handle......

Niu Dali's eyes narrowed, and then he waved his hand and said, "Impossible!" Then Xu Sheng is not stupid, how could the matter of finding Qiu Laojiu's corpse fall into the handle? ”

"You're not stupid, I'm not stupid, and Qiu Laojiu isn't stupid, so why can't we join forces to set up a set?" Xu Yuanzuo said leisurely.

"Set up?" Niu Dali suddenly became interested, and a Kunshan dialect came out: "Military advisor, will the plan be released?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo replied with a smile: "Let's wait for the winter solstice, find that Qiu Laojiu, and let's discuss it together." ”

Niu vigorously said: "If you want to join forces with that thief bird, my heart is always like eating a fly." ”

"Actually, it's okay not to look for him." Xu Yuanzuo said: "But, you pulled him in, but there are three benefits." ”

"What's the benefit?" Niu Dali said curiously.
