Let's say that the scholar in this room thanked everyone in the Xue family's restaurant, and didn't sit anymore, seeing the sunset, everyone went home, and he smiled shyly with Zhu Liupo, arched his hand, and walked out.

He went out of the Baokang Gate, and did not go to the rest of the place, but by a little afterglow of the setting sun, he went straight in the direction of the corner gate, and when he was halfway there, he stopped near a small alley, and waited until he was sure of the place, and then turned in.

This is exactly where the Li family lived when they never moved out, and it is also the old house of Li Chengwei's nominal mother's family.

The scholar walked around the house, only to see that the front and back doors were closed, the red paint on the door was peeling, the front door was still closed, the back door was hanging with spider silk, and the door was dusty, and it looked like no one had cleaned it for a long time.

After looking at the Li Mansion, he turned around and walked out of the alley, walked all the way along the Royal Street, stopped the boat halfway, and went along the Bianhe River to Junyi Bridge, where he found the current Li Mansion and took a closer look.

The scholar found a pen and ink shop near Junyi Bridge, and asked the scholar who was recruiting books, so he went in and took two jobs, and after handing in the manuscripts a few times, he got acquainted with the guys in the shop, and inquired from those people.

He dangled near Junyi Bridge Fang during the day, only walked once in one place, or looking for shops, or looking for wine shops, or looking for teahouses, and at night he recorded the things he asked one by one, and after five or six days, he could inquire about everything, and he also inquired about seven, seven, eight, and eight, although everyone's statements were different, but the process of the Li family's fortune and the distribution of Li Chengwei's family business were not much different.

When he couldn't ask anything else, the scholar took advantage of the night, mixed in with the crowd, stopped the boat, went down the Bianhe River, and went straight to Jinliangqiao Street.

As soon as the boat came to the shore, he went to the ground on two legs, and when he saw that there was no one behind him, he went inside, knocked on the door and entered a courtyard, and went straight to the house to the north.

He entered the inner courtyard, and pushed open a side room with familiarity, and when he had changed his clothes and dressed up, he could come out, dressed in a new dress, and his hair neatly combed, but he was a very clean little servant—sure enough, it was a rosin with clear eyebrows.

When he re-entered the inner courtyard, and after waiting for the people to pass through, he walked in with a stack of papers full of words.

A young man in his early teens was sitting on a small table and talking.

"The Chinese man said that the Li family no longer does the cloth business, and the horse business is not as good as before, but it has opened a ticket number, released money, and obtained the right to brew wine, and also runs a pawnshop, and she heard that I know a few words, so she plans to recommend me to the ticket number as an apprentice."

"Because I said that there is no ticket number in my hometown, if I want to go back in the future, I am afraid that there is no job to find, I just want to go to the cloth and silk shop to learn work, as long as there is a craft, I can return to my hometown in the future, I can also open a shop by myself."

"The Chinese persuaded me, saying that at this time, whether the Li family's silk and cloth shop is in the shopkeeper, the veteran weavers, embroiderers, tailors, the original old people, all are gone, I just go, and I can only be a buddy, I can't learn anything, it's better to go to the ticket number, now the outside world is releasing interest and interest, the Li family is not stingy, as long as you do it well, if you get the appreciation ......of the main family, why bother to return to your hometown in the future, it is not impossible to gain a foothold in the capital."

Rosin stood quietly aside, waiting for the little guy to finish speaking.

Ji Qingling sat on the top, listened to the little guy explain the things he asked one by one, and asked many questions, and after a quarter of an hour, he first praised the little guy a few words, asked someone to reward him with two pieces of money, and gave him a day off, so that he could go back to the house and have a good rest.

The little guy was boasted, faked, and rewarded, and swore happily: "Madame, rest assured, although I am young, I am a reliable person, and I have been taught by the former steward, saying that the things explained by the master's family are asked by my father and mother, and I can't say it to the outside world, now thank you for the lady's reward, and I will definitely learn from Brother Rosin and Brother Songjie in the future, and do the errand quickly and well, and don't let the master worry about half a point!" ”

Rosin stood aside, only to feel that although the little guy spoke roughly and straightforwardly, he was extremely clever, and he was secretly a little lucky for a while.

At this time, I went back and thought, from Jixian County to the capital, he entered the Gu Mansion, in fact, it was only seven years, but the changes that occurred in the Mansion were not earth-shaking.

The main family has gone from a small student to a champion and a pro-people official, and now, he has only been in the office for two years, and he is already a court official.

Regardless of the rest, judging from the girls, small servants, stewards, and miscellaneous servants who have entered the house in the past few years, they really have to pick people year by year, if they don't enter the house early, at this time, it is very likely that they will not even have the opportunity to be an errand boy, let alone enter the inner courtyard and follow the officials.

Now that the bunch of servants in the house are all fine, it is even more difficult to stand out among them.

While thinking about it, when the little guy went out with the copper coin, he quickly retracted his senses, and first presented the things he had written down to Ji Qingling, and then he carefully recalled what he had heard these days.

Ji Qingling listened to him first, and then read what he had written down carefully.

She put aside those things and ignored them, thinking only about what would be worth it for Li Chengwei to pay such a big price, and she was bent on wooing Du Tanzhi.

Either there is a big reward or there is a big fear.

If there is a big return, the Li family is now open a ticket number, and is doing a business of making money, which can be regarded as a million profits, and only then did he get the right to brew wine, and Du Tanzhi was not the original Kyoto government official, although the Dali Temple evaluation is a promotion, but for the Li family who is doing business in the capital, the county official is better to be in charge, rather than spending a lot of effort to get to Du Tanzhi, it is better to put more effort in the Kyoto government.

If there is a big fear, if it is just an ordinary thing, the Li family is rich and rich, as long as they are willing to spend money, what thing can't be solved?

Unless it is an unthinkable felony.

At this time, the felonies that cannot be forgiven are nothing more than a felony.

The rebellion was put aside, and the arson had nothing to do with him, and the rest were not touched, as if he was clean.

Du Tanzhi checked the file and said that the Li family was not in prison.

But at this time, looking at the situation in his family, first his father died, and then his mother died, from an abandoned child brought back from the Salesian Bureau, he became the only heir of the Li family.
