In the Ruisheng Hall of Xiaofu in Juzhongjin District, Ye Jishan sat in the hall with light shirts and thin sleeves, looking slightly tired. The housekeeper Hua Chuan is reporting to Ye Jishan about the rent collection.

"This year, the orange west disaster is not a single line, first the drought, then the insect disaster, the harvest of the farmers has been reduced too much. Calls for rent reductions are high. ”

"It's okay to reduce, but it's okay to refuse to pay. Pass on my words, minus one piece of cloth per mu and one bucket of rice. It can't be reduced any more. ”

Ye Jishan's tone was very gentle, but very decisive.

"The ...... of the Third Lady"

"Something to say."

"The old slave also heard that some village owners had conflicts with the farmers when they collected rent, and Guo Zhuang and Niu Zhuang even encountered the change of outsiders robbing grain and money......

Ye Jishan frowned, and immediately ordered:

“…… Uncle Hua, there is money and grain and cloth in the house, and you sent someone to buy 500 taels of silver, 300 buckets of rice, and 200 horses of cloth in the outer storeroom. The rest are stored in various lower government libraries. ”

"Yes. The old slave will do it. ”

Hua Chuan walked a few steps and was stopped by Ye Jishan:

"Uncle Hua, by the way, bring more people when you recycle the rent! Whoever wants to resist rent will be punished! ”

"Hwacheon has written it down!"

"Third lady, you've been busy all day, take a break."

Twilight rubbed her shoulders and thumped her back in distress.

"Twilight, have you released your monthly money this month?"

"Not yet."

"You will let the painting screen and Qingchuan do it in a while, don't let the sons and girls wait for a long time."

"Yes, Third Lady."

"Miss Liu also refers to Miss Lu's standards."

"Good! Do as you say! ”

In the fire area, Xiang Zhuang Wolong Hall, Xiang Zhongyuan and Xiang Shuchuan are dismantling the chess game of the palace cannon.

"Second brother, in this year's league, will Han Xiaofan go through the palace cannon?" Xiang Shuchuan asked.

Xiang Zhongyuan said: "Although Han Xiaofan is good at the palace cannon, he uses this layout at most once a year.

He can deal with all kinds of ways, unlike Ye Yuhang, who is the same first cannon and then screen horse. ”

"This He Siqi girl trained before the game in previous years, she was able to be there, but this year she didn't arrive for a day, the second brother and the third brother, do you know the reason?"

Xiang Boshan asked suddenly.

"A big girl, there are some things that we don't want to ask in detail. Seeing that I have to set off, there is no news yet, how can I not be anxious. ”

Xiang Zhongyuan said.

"Send someone to her house in the afternoon."

Midnight in Hefu, Wood District:

The moon hangs high and the breeze blows.

Ling Feng's master and servant came to the door of He Mansion in night clothes.

The gate of the He Mansion was closed and sealed.

"Childe, how do you get in?"

"I can't get in, don't I still have you? You'll have to do a good job for me! ”

Like a monkey, Yue'e climbed a big tree along the courtyard wall and jumped into the courtyard wall...... Who knows, Yue'e went for a while and then turned back.

"Childe, there's someone inside!"

"In the middle of the night, come to rob money?"

"Probably not, when the He Mansion was destroyed, all the gold and silver cloths in the house were confiscated......

One of them seemed to have been seen somewhere. Will it be the same as Childe? ”

"Impossible! The handwriting of the senior sister is not known to outsiders. ”

"Childe, I came to search for it two years ago, if there is any girl's handwriting, I should have searched it a long time ago."

"Let's go, come back at dawn! It's not good to bump into them! ”

"Coming back?"

The small secret room of the Tiezhuang Library Pavilion in the water area is closed——

I don't see people, I only hear human voices.

Female voice: "Iron Boy, so many literate people don't pick me?" ”

Male voice: "Can you make others still need you?" You and I are stupid, the whole world knows about the frontier chess, what else is wrong with me?

What is this word? What kind of ghost talisman did your girl draw, it's so hard to recognize! “

Female voice: "The word 'up', 'the image bureau'!" ……

You can't blame our girl, don't talk about wild grass, you can't even recognize a few words in regular script......"

Male voice: "Nianyi, you're looking for a smoke...... What is it? ”

Female voice: "Like three into five." ”

Male voice: "What is this?" ”

Female voice: "Horse 2 into 1"

Male voice: "Elephant to the side horse? It's unprecedented......"

Female voice: "Don't ask me about chess." All I have to do is read. This game is a top-level game record...... It's subtle, you can figure it out for yourself......"

Male voice: "You can also tell me about the annotations on the side......"

"Childe-Iron Child-" A family member arrived.

Tie Yuanzhi stepped out of the secret room of the Library Pavilion: "Changfu, what the hell is your name?" Disturb this son's chess practice! ”

"Childe, someone got it for you."

"Where?"

Jin District Xiao Fu Zhu Xuan:

The evening sun shines through the carved windows to illuminate Fu Zhuxuan, and also illuminates Liu Hanyan's beautiful and demure face.

She stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the strange scenery of this strange home.

The furnishings of Fu Zhu Xuan are simple and fresh.

In the outhouse, there is a small wooden bed for Shuying, and under the windowsill is a wooden coffee table and a few small round wooden stools.

The corner of the wall is a sandalwood chess table, and the shadow is playing according to the book.

There is a large wooden bed, a dresser, a desk, and a number of chairs.

The main body of the wooden furnishings is brown, the curtains and mosquito nets are white, and the bed brocade quilt is light green.

"Girl, how fun it is to play chess, how good it would be if you could play chess......"

Shuying said while playing music.

Hanyan didn't answer, only glanced at her.

Then there was a knock on the door.
