The old man led Song Xiangshi into the hall, Lin Huaan saw that the old master couldn't find a table in the hall, and said with a smile: "Song Laoshi can't help it, there is no table at home, and you are wronged to squat on the ground to write." ”

"It's really a defeat for Young Master Tong." Master Song was stunned, and he was shocked to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly hugged his fists and apologized: "It's a gaffe, it's a gaffe, don't blame Young Master Tong." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's really lost, there's nothing wrong with you." Lin Huaan didn't have a smile to help him, personally squatted down to untie the burden, put pen, ink, paper and inkstone one by one, and asked the stunned thin man with ink: "I don't know if my brother wants to rent monthly or annual rent for this thirty acres of land, how many months will it be rented if it is a monthly rent, and how many years will it be rented if it is an annual rent?" ”

"Three...... Three years. The thin man came back to his senses and said hurriedly, took out a stack of silver tickets in his arms, three thousand per mu, thirty acres is ninety thousand taels, and then squatted down in the ground, gently placed the tickets aside, and quietly watched Song Xiangshi write.

I wrote it last night, and I still remember the content, and Song Xiangshi finished writing it carefully, and went through the process one by one: "I have seen it clearly, and the signature will take effect, and there is no regret." ”

"That's right." The thin man was much more courageous than the shopkeeper last night, and when he said it, he drew a black and red seal, handed over the silver ticket and said with a smile: "Ninety thousand taels is not bad, Young Master Tong counts and counts." ”

Lin Huaan took the silver ticket and waved his hand and said with a smile: "Just looking at the courage of the old brother, you can trust it, and I hope you will pay the old master more silver." ”

"Of course." After packing up the four treasures of the study, the thin man picked up Song Xiangshi, and took out two pieces of silver in his arms to thank him: "Thank you Song Xiangshi, I hope to accept the little answer." ”

"The courtesy is heavy, the courtesy is heavy." After receiving the two big pieces of silver in the mountains, the old master had a beaming face, hugged his fists and bowed to the thin man, then turned to Lin Huaan and bowed deeply, and left diligently.

Song Xiangshi left, and the thin man hugged his fists and said: "Young Master Tong is so generous and heroic, this friend can be made, and the surname is Zhuang Yuanzi." If you don't dislike it, please invite Young Master Tong and me to the restaurant for a few drinks. ”

"Tong Tian." Hugging his fist and reporting the name of the well-known loser, Lin Huaan said with a smile: "The contract should be signed with a few drinks to celebrate, but there is still something to do, there is time in the future, and the elder brother does not have to be so polite." ”

It is rumored that the loser of the Tong Mansion forced his mother to death, and the whole city was scolded, if this is the case, he does have something to do. Although Zhuang Yuan didn't know whether it was true or not, he didn't dare to invite more, so he only said: "Since this is the case, then the old brother will make up for it in the future." Then he took the other four and left.

Seeing off the five Zhuang Yuan, Lin Huaan patted the 90,000 taels of silver tickets that had just been received, glanced at the sluggish old servant beside him with a smile, and said: "Uncle Tong collects this money, you should eat, you should drink, you don't have to save too much." ”

"This and this, this ......" The young master has always been in charge of the family and asked for money, how could he ever give money. Tong Wei's stunned old face was full of tears, and he hesitated and hesitated before he slowly raised his old palm and choked up: "The slave must be saved, and it will ...... in the future." Give ...... later Ask the young master for ...... Please use it for your daughter-in-law. ”

"Alright, alright." Can't stand this old man who has a handful of tears and snot at every turn, Lin Huaan didn't hug his old shoulders big or small, and sighed knowingly: "Yesterday, Mrs. hanged herself, you old slave must have gone to the mourning hall to kowtow, but I didn't bring it up because of it, right, let's go." ”

"Less...... Less ......"

"One less fart, if you don't leave, you won't go." Lin Huaan couldn't stand the laughter and scolding, hugged his arms and twisted his old shoulders, and with a slight lift of his arms, he carried him out of the threshold, and happily stepped out of the door and walked to the far end.

Follow the old man around and around to a huge wooden barrier door, after the wooden barrier door, you will see a large number of mansions rising around, the seat gate is lacquered, the stone lion of the step, there are servants standing outside the door, it is very luxurious.

Looking around, Lin Hua'an thought that this should be a place for the nobles to gather, the ground is paved with good blue and white rocks, and there will be flower beds and mulberry banyans every few steps, all of which are very good and extremely quiet. Even though the mansions are extremely luxurious, they are still not as big as the Tong Mansion, why is the Tong Mansion not here?

He didn't know that the great cause of Tong Mansion had been inherited for more than 200 years, and the imperial capital was already extremely rich when it was not moved to Lin'an, and the mansions here were all under 100 years old, so Tong Mansion was naturally not here.

Walking through several mansions, I saw two white lanterns hanging on the eaves of a mansion from a distance, which was a funeral, and I didn't need to think about it to know that it was the home of a fat old man. Lin Hua'an strode over, and when he got close, he saw a huge plaque hanging on the door, proudly writing the words Tongfu, and the slaves standing at the door were all dressed in filial piety clothes, and their heads were hung with filial piety.

"Stand still." As soon as he stepped up the stone steps, the two slaves guarding the door shouted and rushed forward, and scolded with a blue face: "What are the animals doing, go back to your kennel, you are not welcome in my Tongfu." ”

"Two little brothers, two little brothers." The old man hurriedly stepped forward and groveled and begged: "My young master is specially here to give Mrs. a few pillars of incense, please be accommodating." ”

"Incense?" One person laughed, pointed at Lin Hua'an's nose and scolded: "Mrs. Tong was forced to death by animals, what kind of incense did he come to, if he really had that filial piety, he jumped into the willow river, Mrs. Tong would definitely smile at Jiuquan." ”

Although Lin Huaan also thought that Tong Tian was an animal, the old man had already begged in a low voice, regardless of whether he was referring to his own nose, a little slave was so arrogant, he didn't know that when Uncle Tong was a housekeeper, he hadn't jumped out of his mother's belly. Immediately raised his face and shouted: "You are just a little gatekeeper slave, even if I am really a beast, Uncle Tong has been busy in the Tong Mansion since he was a child, and now that Mrs. Tong has died, the old servant has come to see what the master's house is enough for you to say." ”

"This ......" Yi Zhi Qi made the slave's face flushed, thinking that Uncle Tong would incense Mrs. Tong naturally, turned to the other person and hummed: "Don't let the animals in, I'll go and report to the master." Glaring back at Lin Huaan, he angrily crossed the threshold and walked in.

The two waited at the bottom of the stairs for a while, and suddenly a large number of people dressed in filial piety clothes and hanging filial piety silk on their heads rushed to the inner garden of Tongfu, all with angry faces, holding sticks, headed by the fat Tong master, who had not yet stepped out and shouted from afar: "The animals still dare to come, it is simply looking for death." ”

"Daddy's anger." Master Tong was followed by a young girl, dressed in white and white skirt, with hairpins and mourning horns, with tears on her face and a tearful face, she pulled everyone who rushed out, and gently persuaded: "Aunt Tong just went, Daddy can't be like this, please stop being angry." ”

"What did the little sister say, the animal was even forced to die, and killing him was just to comfort the aunt's soul in the sky." A tall man scolded, shouting and shouting, a half-grown child rushed out first, and the stick in Gao Xuan's hand was murderous and smashed straight towards Lin Huaan.

When Tong Wei was stunned, he saw the young master Tong smashing the young master's head with a stick, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Young master......"

"Smack!" Seeing that the half-sized child was angry and smashed with a stick, Lin Hua'an leaned back, reached out to catch the empty wooden stick, the livestock should be beaten right, the problem is that he is the one who hurts now, and he smiled and persuaded the red-eyed half-grown child: "If you have something to say, why bother to do it." ”

"What do you have to say to you, beast?" The half-grown child pulled back the stick, and at this time everyone ran down the steps, and the girl hurriedly stepped forward to hug him and said, "Brother Shui, don't be reckless. ”

Letting go of the stick, Lin Hua'an saw this water spirit girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, beautiful and beautiful, with big red eyes glaring at herself, looking like she was going to eat people, she couldn't help but take a small step back, and shouted at the Tong family who came in: "If you have something to say, there is no need to move your hands and feet." ”

"Yes, yes." Tong Wei hurriedly stopped in front of the young master, bowed ninety degrees and said, "Master Tong, my young master has changed his mind and become a new person, you can spare him once." ”

Suddenly, the sound of snorting was everywhere, and the old man Tong glared at Lin Hua'an with a gray face, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Even the eldest sister-in-law can be forced to death, if he can change his mind and become a new person, the dogs in the world will not eat anymore, I bah!" A mouthful of spit went straight to Lin Huaan.

Lin Huaan can easily dodge, but if he dodges now, the family is afraid that they will really kill themselves, and Tong Tian is an animal, although he is not Tong Tian, he uses his body, and he has to suffer this spit, but he is especially unhappy in his heart.

"Forget it, Uncle Tong, go in and incense yourself, I'll go first." A person who even forced his mother to death, not to mention that Master Tong just didn't let him in, but he had already slaughtered the animal. Lin Huaan couldn't say what he felt in his heart, turned around with a little melancholy, and slowly walked towards the big obstacle door in front of him, scolding in his heart, why should he bear the animal things he did in Tong Tian, God really doesn't have long eyes.

"Young Master...... Young Master ......" couldn't call back the young master who had left by himself, Tong Wei's eyes were full of tears, and he bowed deeply to Master Tong and cried: "The young master has really washed his hands and changed his face." ”

"Okay, Uncle Tong, don't cry, come in and put a few sticks of incense on your sister-in-law. If my sister-in-law knew that you were here, she would be very happy. Master Tong gently supported him, this old man is the servant beside Shibo, not only the livestock is big for him, but also for the big brother, he can really be regarded as loyal to Geng Geng, but the roots of his ears are extremely soft.

Everyone in Tongfu didn't put Lin Hua'an in their eyes, they all turned around and walked up the steps, only the girl under the steps didn't move, she looked at the depressed figure in confusion, and her heart was strange, since she was a child, she let Shi Bo go, she often saw Tong Tian three years ago, at that time she was arrogant, and she was the only one. Since Shibo died, she has never seen him, but often listen to her father's scolding, the livestock in her father's mouth is a gambling disease, lazy, and unscrupulous loser, how can such a person be embedded in the desert? And she met him just now, and saw that his righteousness was awe-inspiring, and his eyebrows were flying, not like the beast that people scolded.

The eldest young master of the Tong family crossed the threshold, and saw that the little sister was still stunned at the bottom of the steps, and there was something beautiful about an animal, so he immediately shouted: "Little sister, come in." ”

"Oh, yes, yes!" Tong Mumu responded in a hurry, glanced at the broken figure strangely, carried the white dress up the stairs, and followed everyone to the mourning hall.
