There is no church chair in Beiganshan, and the two Li Zheng are just people who are dedicated to doing business, and they have not thought about the problem of "actual control". This kind of mediocrity will not mind the presence of powerful merchants, as long as there is no conflict with their business.

Xu Yuanzuo signed the deed on the Beiganshan side on the same day, took it with him, and prepared to go to the yamen to make a red deed. I had breakfast early the next morning, and immediately rushed to Chonggu and Liujiajiao.

Xia Wei's teenagers set off according to the planned schedule, and they all arrived about an hour early Xu Yuanzuo to make preliminary preparations, and then Xu Yuanzuo glanced at it, signed and stamped and left, and it turned out to be a tight fit, without wasting time.

On the evening of the fifth day of the second lunar month, Xu Yuanzuo returned to Zhuli, preparing to cross the lake early the next morning to go to Shangtai, which was already the border with Suzhou.

After Xu Yuanzuo entered the house, he greeted his parents, and when he saw that the family had already eaten, he sat at the dining table and sorted out the articles of the past two days. Any responsible manager is always constantly examining the past, looking for possible omissions in themselves.

When Xu Liangzuo saw his brother coming back, he hurriedly took out a stack of manuscript papers: "Brother, this is the list of those people's assets, I have checked them all." ”

This thing is actually of little significance, and the key mortgage documents are in Xu Yuanzuo's hands. In order not to hurt his younger brother's enthusiasm, he flipped through it casually, and said: "You still have to focus on studying, the family is now doing their best to cultivate you, and you have good qualifications, if you can't go to school, it's too much to say." ”

Xu Liangzuo raised his head and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely be able to go to school before you." ”

Xu Yuanzuo was dumbfounded.

Although he had learned from Grandpa Xu that his clothes were made of iron, most of the others didn't know the inside story.

Xu Yuanzuo has always been deep in the city, and everything can be hidden in his heart, and he is not busy writing letters to his parents to report the good news, so the family knows that he writes books. But I didn't know that I could write a book in exchange for fame.

"Bet it?" Xu Yuanzuo said: "Let's see who is the first student." ”

"Why don't you dare!" Xu Liangzuo is still quite confident that he can surpass his brother in reading. He believes that God is a miser, since you are good at business, where can you still make you superhuman in reading and exams?

"Where's the color head?" Xu Yuanzuo remained silent.

"The loser...... Promise the winner one thing! "Xu Liangzuo has already brought in the role of the winner, and secretly decided that when it is time to cash in the lottery, he must knock his brother hard, and he will get a silver or two! He heard that his brother gave more than one or two pieces of silver to the gang of running around during the New Year. It's really unfair.

My brother hasn't gotten there yet!

Xu Yuanzuo thought for a while: "Well, you can." ”

This is purely for show, and the bet has already won without hitting him at all.

"But it can't be time-sensitive! As long as I don't think of what I want, it will work for a lifetime! Xu Liangzuo thought about it and added, for fear that his brother would cheat, and he didn't know that he had entered the crowd.

Xu Yuanzuo's face was heavy and he nodded slightly. He originally hoped that his younger brother would have a smooth ride in the imperial examination and make it to the emperor all the way. If you can stay in Beijing and be a clear stream. It would be even better to enter the cabinet and become a country in the future. But seeing that my brother is so innocent and cute, I really can't help but worry about his future.

Although Xu Yuanchun lacked experience, he had seven tricks in his heart and was exquisite, even so, Xu Jie didn't feel that he was qualified to be involved in the power struggle. And Liangzuo is much weaker than Yuan Chun!

- Looks like I'm still going to have to cover him with my brother!

Xu Yuanzuo said secretly in his heart.

Xu Liangzuo didn't know that his brother had good intentions, and thought that his brother was cowardly before he fought. Haha laughed and left.

Xu Yuanzuo looked at his younger brother's back, and his heart became heavier. I couldn't help but shake my head again and again. When Xu's mother saw it on the side, she thought that Yuan Zuo was afraid that her younger brother would be distracted, so she said for Liang Zuo: "He is still studying hard these days." ”

Xu Yuanzuo nodded: "Just be willing to work hard, and I can help him find a good teacher to start writing another day." ”

Mother Xu was secretly proud, and said, "I was thinking of something and wanted to tell you." ”

"That's what my mother commands." Xu Yuanzuo said with a smile. It is customary to pour a cup of tea for my mother.

Mother Xu was stunned and said, "You are much more sensible." Xu Yuanzuo smiled back. Mother Xu continued: "You said that we can spread the news of the genealogy with Xu Ge's old family? ”

"Is there something wrong with my mother?" Xu Yuanzuo asked directly.

For Xu Yuanzuo, he was afraid that the matter of the continuation of the joint sect would not spread far enough, and it was best for the whole world to know about it, but the conditions did not allow it. At this time, no one hates officials and the rich. No one will pick their noses and eyes when they see the grandson of the old man. Some will only be endless envy and welcome, what a help for a person who is interested in Vanity Fair!

Xu Mu is such a sharp character, how could she not know this?

"I want to ......" Mother Xu was a little shy: "Should you also let your uncle's family know?" ”

"Uh-huh!" Xu He sat on the Taishi chair, his face was already pale.

Xu Yuanzuo really didn't know about his uncle's family. only sporadically saw that my mother was reluctant to give up her mother's family, but my father had a deep prejudice against his uncle, and even if he had no face, no shame or shame in front of outsiders, he refused to go to the door of his uncle's house.

From another point of view, Xu He has already thrown away his temperament, and he still refuses to bow his head to his uncle's family, which shows that his uncle's family really hurts him.

Mother Xu ignored her husband's explicit hints, and continued: "Although my mother is a concubine, I am the only daughter in the family, so I am also treated like a brother-in-law. I've never been idle. ”

Xu Yuanzuo nodded, feeling that his grandfather was enlightened, and he thought that he was a very cultivated scholarly family.

"At that time, it was also your father's talent......"

Xu Yuanzuo peeked at his father, who had a round waist.

“…… It's a young student......"

Xu Yuanzuo couldn't help but glance at his father's wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and the gray hair on his sideburns.

“…… Good character......"

Xu Yuanzuo couldn't help but didn't look at his father's face this time.

“…… has a great future, so he married me into the Xu family. Xu Mu said, sighing deeply.

A qiē is all in the words.

Xu Yuanzuo comforted: "Mother, don't worry, let's prepare a generous gift another day and visit my grandfather and uncle." ”

Mother Xu nodded again and again: "That's what I think, March 27 is your grandfather's birthday, and I think I haven't been back for more than ten years." Now that you have a chance, it is better to go. ”

Xu Yuanzuo calculated: "March twenty-seven...... Mother, where is my grandfather's house? "If it's too far, Xu Yuanzuo will definitely have to take care of the government first. This is also the mainstream value, except that mourning is a higher priority than exams, and everything else is not as important as exams.

And four hundred years later, even mourning is not as important as exams.

Mother Xu glanced at her son with a little dissatisfaction: "Speaking of far, it is actually close, in Chongming County, Suzhou Prefecture." Your grandfather's family name is Shen, and the door family voice is also a little bit. ”

"Chongming will be fine, it will be here in one day." Xu Yuanzuo said: "I see that Liangzuo is still a little brainless, let him study at home, and I will accompany my mother." ”

Mother Xu only felt that this eldest son suddenly opened up one day, and now everything he says is in his heart, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

"That's fine, it won't get in the way of your exam." Although Xu's mother didn't know that Xu Yuanzuo had already been appointed as a student, she never believed that her son could be admitted to the exam - he hadn't even learned the art of making, so what should he take to take the exam?

Xu He waited for a long time, and when he saw that the mother and son had finished speaking, he said angrily: "Now it's my turn!" ”

Xu Mule went upstairs.

Xu Yuanzuo wiped his face and sat still.

Xu He saw that Xu Yuanzuo didn't mean to get up and come over to be taught, so he had to put down the shelf and sit at the dining table, deliberately avoiding the place where his wife was sitting just now.

Xu Yuanzuo didn't bother to get up and pour water, but said, "Does my father have any orders?" ”

Xu He's heart couldn't help but get angry: "I was about to tell you about selling cloth." ”

Xu Yuanzuo said: "But is there any problem?" ”

Xu He said: "I checked the almanac with Lu Dingyuan, and we traveled together on February 16. The road is also used to walking before, that is, to talk to you. ”

Xu Yuanzuo let out an "oh", and said secretly in his heart: As for how to pick up the goods and how to hire a ship, my father and Lu Dingyuan must be familiar with each other. The two old rivers and lakes have been gone for more than ten years, and they definitely don't need him to remind them of anything.

Xu He also felt that he was asking for instructions when he told his son, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

After the cold scene, Xu Yuanzuo said: "Which way does my father go?" ”

"How?"

"I have opened inns in Tanghang, Shangjiao, Beiganshan, Chonggu, and Liujiajiao. If you are passing by, you can stay there. Xu Yuanzuo said: "You don't have to pay for it." ”

Xu He was overjoyed, but his face refused to show it, and he only said, "We must be staying overnight in the business bed." ”

Xu Yuanzuo signaled that he understood, and casually opened an official letter and handed it to Xu He. As long as the business couch sees this official letter, it will naturally know that it is a guest who is trying to stay in the guest room, and will not charge money. (To be continued......)
