After all, the Li family's clan is in charge of the affairs of the Li family, and they have to set an example for the whole clan. Although he separated from Li Duan's family, he couldn't fall into the well at this time, knowing that Li Duan accompanied the Lin family back to his hometown, the sect master took his eldest son to the Li family in person.

Because there was no help from the Li family to take care of them, the servants of the Li Duan family had already run away with the Li family's belongings, and those who stayed behind were all loyal servants. But such people are a minority after all, and the exquisite and gorgeous pavilions of the past are now covered with dust, showing a decadent scene.

The Sect Master of the Li Family stood in the courtyard and couldn't help but sigh softly.

It takes generations for a family to thrive, and it only takes a blink of an eye to fall.

He asked Li Duan, "But what do you need our help with?" ”

Li Duan still had the face to ask the sect for help, and the sect and their family were divided into strange sects back then, he always suspected that someone was stirring up trouble, but he was worried about the affairs of the capital later, and he didn't have the opportunity to verify. But at this time, it is even more difficult for him to verify - their family has already fallen, and if it is confirmed that it is someone from his own clan, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be alarmed, provoking those who already have bad intentions towards their family to take advantage of the fire and rob, and make their family fall into a more difficult situation. If it's someone outside, guess and guess, it's just a few of them. Even when their family was in its heyday, they avoided those families, not to mention that now it is difficult for their family to even protect themselves.

As his father said, now is not the time for reckoning, only when he studies hard and revives the family business, can these accounts be properly calculated.

Li Duan respectfully saluted the eldest master of the sect, and said in a low voice: "I can handle the affairs of the family for the time being, if there is any difficulty, I will beg you." We can't thank you enough for coming to see us at this time. ”

After all, he is a man, and he may make a fortune one day.

The eldest master of the sect comforted Li Duan a few words, and took a letter of silver to Li Duan: "It's a little bit of my personal meaning, you can accept it, and when you have it later, it's not too late to pay it back." ”

Li Duan was indeed shy, and he thought that the Li family clan must have done something sorry for his own family, so he accepted it with a few polite words.

The eldest lord of the Li family's clan took his son to leave.

Lin walked out of the hall with the help of the maid and said, "The valuable things in the family have been stolen, and there are still some ancestors who stayed to save their lives, I have taken them out and packed them up." ”

The twilight sun shone on her face, making the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows more obvious. Compared with when he left Lin'an, he is more than ten years old. The standing posture is no longer straight.

Li Duan stepped forward to help Lin with some distress, and said softly: "Mom, you don't have to worry about this, I'll just come." You have a good night's rest tonight, and we'll leave tomorrow at dawn. ”

It won't let more Lin'an people know that they have come back.

Lin didn't want to stay longer for a quarter of an hour, and said, "Let's leave overnight and spend the night on the ship." All this is arranged at home, right? Throw away what should be lost, don't be reluctant, in the face of disaster, money and wealth are external things, and if you have a life, you can naturally earn it back. ”

Her expression was colder than ever.

Li Duan nodded and said, "It's all entrusted to Li Si." When something happened to our family, he also asked people to bring twenty taels of silver to our family. ”

Li Si is a member of their Li family, a concubine, and after being separated, he became a tooth man by chance, and the Li family looked for him for some pawn trades.

Lin nodded and said fiercely: "Your uncle is also really ruthless, I didn't know how good our family was at the beginning, but this time I saw our family unlucky, but he watched the fire from the other side." If you are prosperous in the future, do not associate with them. ”

Li Duan hesitated for a moment and nodded "good", but it attracted Lin's dissatisfaction: "Did you listen to what I said?" I'm not talking to you angrily, but such people shouldn't have been associated with each other in the first place, let alone your uncle's family. When there is a benefit, they lean over, and when they are in trouble, they run away. If I find you associating with them again, be careful that I don't recognize you as a son. ”

"Got it." Li Duan replied, but he was a little uneasy in his heart.

At the beginning, he took a large sum of money from the Peng family and did some shady things for the Peng family......

However, they live in seclusion in the city of Hangzhou, which is also the place where several major surnames in the south of the Yangtze River live, and those surnamed Peng will definitely not dare to mess around.

Li Duan agreed with Lin's decision: "Then let's go overnight." ”

Lin nodded.

The mother and son packed all the things they should bring and loaded them onto the mule cart, and quietly went to Tiaoxi Wharf while there was no curfew in Lin'an City.

However, when you go to Tiaoxi Wharf, you will pass through Qingzhu Lane.

In the quiet alleys, the pink and white walls of every house reveal verdant bamboo.

Li Duan couldn't help but look at it twice.

I saw two sedan chairs with green curtains parked in the back alley of Qingzhu Lane, the sedan curtain opened, and Pei Yan and Yu Tang came out of the sedan chair one after the other.

Li Duan's hands tightened and he leaned on the car window.

I saw Pei Yan take Yu Tang's hand, and I didn't know what to say to Yu Tang, Yu Tang was already full of shyness and lowered his head. Pei Yan was still not satisfied, and gently smoothed Shun Yutang's sideburns.

Yu Tang not only didn't get annoyed, but also raised his head and glared at Pei Yan with disgust.

Li Duanchuan sat in the mule cart.

Lin asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Duan shook his head and didn't say anything for a long time.

Pei Yan and Yu Tang ...... Many of the things he didn't understand suddenly became apparent.

He shuddered.

No wonder people say that the mouth of the green bamboo snake and the needle behind the tail of the wasp are the most poisonous but the hearts of women.

Is she going to avenge that kid from the Wei family?

Li Duan's heart was in a mess, recalling what happened after he met Yu Tang, he didn't know what he did wrong, and he didn't know what went wrong, so that he made the scene like today.

If he regrets it, is it too late?

When should we start correcting it?

Li Duan didn't even know this.

Lin Shi saw that his face suddenly turned pale, and he didn't believe his words at all, but thought about it and instructed the driver who drove the car: "Turn around, I want to see, what made you so depressed?" ”

The last sentence was asked by Li Duan.

Li Duan hurriedly said: "It's nothing, I just remembered one thing." Don't bother like this, let's get out of the city quickly and go back to Hangzhou as soon as possible! When we walked for such a long time, there were a lot of things waiting for us in Hangzhou City, and we couldn't afford to delay time in Lin'an City. ”

But it was Lin's henchmen who drove the car, and Lin's words were fierce, how dare he not listen.

Then Lin saw Pei Yan send Yu Tang to the sedan chair, Pei Yan also pinched Yu Tang's hand, and when Yu Tang's sedan chair disappeared in the back alley of Qingzhu Lane, Pei Yan left Qingzhu Lane in a sedan chair.

"Cheap, people!" Lin gritted his teeth and said, "No wonder your father is in prison!" I'm going to kill her! ”

Li Duan didn't squeak.

Lin twisted Li Duan's arm with a hideous face, and roared in a low voice: "Did you hear that?" I want that cheap, man to die! Did you hear that? ”

Li Duan was in pain, but he remained silent and replied "Okay" in a low voice.

The Li family's mule cart swayed leisurely to the Tiaoxi wharf.

Li Duan helped Lin and got on the hired boat.

Pei Yan immediately got the news.

"Or did you go back to Hangzhou City?" He put down the pen in his hand and asked Pei Qi, "Didn't you say that all the properties in Hangzhou City were sold?" Where do they live? Who helped them? ”

"It's Mr. Shen." Pei Qi frowned and said, "Mr. Shen rented a two-room river house for the Li family not far from Xiaoheyu Street in his own name. ”

Pei Yan sneered, took the handkerchief handed over by the little servant, wiped his hands, and said, "In other words, Shen Shanyan is still counting on Li Duan to study and become an official to revive the family business?" Has he been a little idle lately? You went and called Hu Xing over. ”

Let Hu Xing find something for him to do, and he will have no time to meddle.

Pei Qi left in response, and Pei Yan had no interest in writing a plan.

This summer, when he was in Lin'an, in addition to dealing with the Pei family's chores, he squatted in the Yu family's shop, not only to understand the process of removing red paint, but also to help the Yu family improve a lot of inappropriate places, not only let the Yu family smoothly make a new mold, but also prepare to write these into a booklet for the Yu family's reference, the Yu family has this book, you can attract some people with craftsmanship nearby to take refuge, so that the production capacity of the Yu family's workshop will be greatly improved, and more orders can be received.

He pushed open the window and took a few breaths quietly, feeling that he had to go to Yu Tang to invite a merit, otherwise this little girl would definitely forget about him.

She had been back for two days, but she hadn't brought a letter to herself.

It seems that their marriage is better early.

Gu Chang is September 26, and they are scheduled for the sixth day of October. If you sacrifice to your ancestors, you will marry. Their family can still have a good year, how good!

The more Pei Yan thought about it, the more he felt good, so he simply went to look through the yellow calendar by himself.

It's just that he didn't read a few pages of his yellow calendar, and Hu Xing came

Pei Yan sent away the servants around him, and planned the affairs of the Li family with Hu Xing: "The new Wu prefect is from Sichuan, and he should not have any friendship with Lord Shen, but you also have to check it out." Isn't there a case of a daughter-in-law killing her mother-in-law in Xinqiao Town recently? Lord Shen is a great Confucian in the world, and he is also the teacher of the county school, and he should also take the responsibility of educating the people. The things in the county school can be put aside. As for the Li family, don't the neighbors care about being neighbors with the son of a corrupt official? There is also the Li family's house in Lin'an, which is so big, and it is a time of difficulty, this feng shui is not very good, it shouldn't be easy to sell, right? ”

Hu Xing understood and left with a smile.

Pei Yan took out the unfinished booklet and read it again, didn't find anything wrong, went back to the room to change clothes and freshen up, and went to Pei Lao'an

Pei Lao'an has just returned home, and he is listening to the steward's affairs about the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Pei Yan said: "Why didn't you leave Miss Yu to help you?" ”

Pei Lao'an cried and slapped his son a few times with the booklet in his hand, and said: "'I've seen eccentricity, but I've never seen you so eccentric.'" I taught her the rituals of the Dragon Boat Festival, won't she fail it? ”

Pei Yan was cheeky: "Isn't the Mid-Autumn Festival just right for her to practice?" When it comes to the Spring Festival, you don't have to worry about these things, just eat melon seeds and gossip with Aunt Yi, how leisurely and comfortable! ”
