Chapter 44: I can't figure it out
Dabao pinched the purse in his hand, and a smile bloomed on his face.
The young man was really a generous person, but he introduced him to the situation in Ganzhou City and Xizhen, and he was paid ten cents, and the boy also gave him a hand-copied agricultural book!
Ten cents is a trivial matter, but this agricultural book can't be bought outside. Such books are usually hidden in the library of the great family, and most of the books circulated outside are excerpts, or the handwritten notes of someone who has read such books himself. The manuscript given to him by the young man is different, it is definitely from the official production, and the credibility is not the same.
Dabao arrived at the eldest sister's house, and it happened that his eldest brother-in-law was going out to look for him.
The eldest brother-in-law greeted Da Hua'er, and made friends with his baby daughter again, before carrying his burden and pulling his brother-in-law to the wharf outside the city.
"Hurry up, the boat doesn't wait for anyone," the eldest brother-in-law said as he turned his head to look at Dabao, "You go buy a book, why haven't you seen it for a long time?" ”
Dabao showed the manuscript to his eldest brother-in-law as if he was offering a treasure: "I met a son who said that he was going to Xizhen, just let me tell him how to get there and what to eat and have fun." This is what he paid me. ”
The eldest brother-in-law would definitely not bother with the brother-in-law's ten cents, and even took out a purse and handed it over with a smile.
"Come, this is the pocket money that your eldest sister gave you. Next time you come, remember to bring a grasshopper for your eldest niece, she loves that. ”
"Okay, I'll go to study, and I'll make one for my eldest niece myself. I'll do whatever she wants. ”
"But you can pull it, you are a scholar, you really want to learn this, not to mention your second sister and third sister, even your eldest sister will definitely not let me enter the door directly."
Dabao grinned, his eyebrows shy. It's a good feeling to be spoiled by a couple of older sisters.
Just when Dabao got on the boat and went back to Xizhen, in the city of Ganzhou, the young Wei Gongzi wrote a letter and asked Shu Wen to go to the post station to find someone to send home.
He expected that he would stay here for a short time, and he would definitely have to tell his family when he settled down.
Renting a house is only a temporary measure, and in the past few days, he plans to buy a two-entry yard, although he is simple when he goes out, but he Wei Gongzi has never been a person who is willing to wronged himself.
Although the courtyard is clean and tidy, it is too small, it is okay to live for a few days temporarily, but it is really necessary to stay for a while, and the yards of the two entrances are too aggrieved by themselves.
However, Ganzhou City is not big, and if you want a big house, you either buy land to rebuild, or go to the suburbs to buy Zhuangzi, anyway, Shu Wen inquired about the news that no one wants to change hands in the big courtyard.
Shu Wen, who delivered the letter, hurriedly ran back, shouting that he had seen a suitable house, and he was notorious.
"That house is actually not fierce, the murderous house is the compound next to it. Now I heard that it was bought by the people of Zhangcun for business. The house I saw was separated from the murderous house by a river, three into the compound, and had its own small pier. Not far away is a semi-deserted Taoist temple. However, the tooth man said that the Taoist temple has been taken over by the Taoist master, and the inside is being renovated, and it will almost be completed in more than a month. ”
"What kind of murder method is that house?"
Listening to Shu Wenlala's miscellaneous words, none of them hit the point, Wei Gongzi poked the bridge of his nose and stared at Shu Wen with unkind eyes.
Shu Wen's nagging voice stopped abruptly, and he glanced at his son-in-law cautiously, and explained the past of this house clearly to a long story short.
Same as the previous one. The night is different from the violent death of all the people, this large courtyard is one. In the night, the people were gone, and no one knew where they went, or how.
"If it weren't for the repeated confirmation that there were no traces of murder in the yard, and that all the valuable and soft were not left at all, I guess the big guys would have thought they were all dead."
But in any case, dead or missing, this set of courtyards is so deserted.
"This shouldn't be, the owner of the yard is gone, can the deed still be left?"
"That's what makes people suspicious." Shu Wen took a big shot. leg, "The deed is said to be pressed upright on the hall of the main house." Just that piece of paper, nothing else. It's as if the owner of the house knows that he won't come back, and he won't sell the house, so he throws it there, and whoever wants it wants it. ”
Others didn't dare to do it even if they were moved, and in the end, it was the state government that came forward to clean up the aftermath.
"The price of this yard is not high, I followed the tooth man to take a look, all the cleaning up, buy furniture and necessary things, it costs less than five hundred taels. But the dock needs to be cleaned up, and the wood on the waterfront is rotten. ”
Five hundred taels is a huge cost for others, but for Wei Gongzi, the jade pendant tied around his waist is worth one thousand taels, and listening to a song on weekdays is not less than fifty taels. A few friends got together, and it was also one hundred or two hundred. Money is not called money for a son of a family like him!
Wei Gongzi was not afraid of those ghosts and spirits, and after finding time to follow Shu Wen to take a look, he decisively invited the tooth man to transfer the courtyard.
The tooth people were also attentive, and knowing that they were strangers, they introduced a few reliable masons, and as long as the money was enough, they could clean up the yard in less than a month.
Wei Jin didn't know that Zhangcun Workshop had an extra neighbor in the state capital, and she was discussing with her eldest sister-in-law that she was going to the state capital during the Qingming Festival, and the family affairs would be taken care of by her and her second sister.
chose Qingming to go to the state capital because someone there sent a message saying that Xiaoya's family might have been found.
Xiaoya was stunned when she heard the news, and she looked incredulous. Wei Jin only thought that he was so happy that he was at a loss, and he didn't know that Xiaoya was actually screaming in his heart.
"This time I used to let you meet people, although I'm not sure it must be, but in case, it's always good to have a family reunion."
In order to keep Xiaoya's "relatives" from being too sad, Wei Jin also specially made two clothes for him.
Dressed up, combed his hair and tied it with a cloth towel, and his little teeth that had been drawn looked completely different from when they first picked him up, if it weren't for Wei Jin, they looked at him every day, maybe they wouldn't be able to recognize him when they walked.
Xiaoya wanted to gesture several times, but seeing that Wei Jin was sincerely happy for him, this hand was so heavy that he couldn't lift it at all.
Okay, anyway, in the past, it was at most a trip for nothing, and he really didn't believe that family could find here. Even if they were found, it would be impossible to spread the word through the government office.
Thinking of this, the coldness on Xiao Ya's face flashed away, and he returned to his previous timid and cowardly appearance, and even intensified.
For two or three days in a row, Xiaoya didn't say a word or gesture, and the amount of food he ate was mostly less. Wei Jin hadn't noticed it before, but after Sihua'er, who was still in charge of cooking, whispered to her, she observed it for another day before she realized that Xiaoya seemed to be afraid.
But isn't it good to find a loved one? Why be afraid?
The two sisters looked at each other and couldn't figure it out.
