The fifth day of the first month of the eighteenth year of Yongning in Great Qin. The imperial capital of Fuze.

Before dawn, as soon as the city gate opened, more than a dozen carts loaded with grain products drove in and went straight to Changping Street.

The officers and soldiers defending the city have long been surprised, and most of the eunuchs in Kyoto buy fields and land in the surrounding areas, and every year, these granges will rush to offer their property to the master's family, and at the same time report the general account of the previous year for the master's family to verify, which means that the tenant pays rent to the landlord, but it has an elegant name, called Fengjiao.

At the front of the convoy were ten horsemen escorting four blue cloth cars, which were much faster than the big cars behind, and arrived at the west gate of the Nianfu on Changping Street first. The driver of the first car reined in the horse, and the little guy sitting on the side jumped down and said respectfully to the car: "Master, we are here, you don't sit, and the little one goes to call the door." ”

"Bastard thing!" An old voice came from inside the car, shouting, "What are you screaming?" Do you want my old man's life? ”

The little guy didn't know what mistake he had made, and the chief steward, who had always been kind and pleasant, was startled in such a stern tone, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Little damn it......"

"Daddy is angry...... a burly man in brown clothes led by the ambulance was waiting to dismount, hearing this, he quickly turned over, stood beside the car, bowed down and said: "This kid came to Fuze for the first time, and he didn't know the rules, so he lost ......his mouth for a while."

"Lost a moment?" The old man in the car sneered: "You still have the face to say?!" If he wasn't used to calling it like this on weekdays, how could he blurt it out now? I only let you come to pay the account to the master every year only when you do things properly, but you don't know what to do, and you think you are up! You're the master when you're in charge?! Your eldest brother and your nephew are all officials, do you dare to be the master in front of the Nianfu? Those who are slaves must keep their duties as slaves. Don't be ashamed to find death by yourself, don't trap the old man in disloyalty and injustice! ”

The man didn't think so, but there was a wry smile on his face, and after listening to the old man's teaching, he bowed down and said, "What my father taught me is that my son doesn't dare anymore, and I ask you to calm your anger and take care of your body." After speaking, he glared at the little guy who was still kneeling on the ground and trembling, kicked him, and said, "Stupid thing, don't go and put down the stool, please get off the car!" ”

The little man hurriedly got up, put down the bench, raised the curtains, and a thin old man got out of the car with half support and half support of the two servants. In the back cars, men and women got down and gathered around the old man.

"Grandpa!" A young man in his early teens jumped off the taxi and ran to the old man's side like a gust of wind, holding the old man's arm with both hands, and looking up and down at the vermilion lacquer door of the Nianfu and the pavilions and pavilions carved in the wall with round eyes, he exclaimed: "The master's house is really the same as what grandpa said, so angry~~!" ”

The old man patted his grandson's head lovingly, but when he raised his eyes to look at the second son, he straightened his face and said, "Why don't you go and call the door?" ”

Before the door was opened, the man hurriedly walked up the stone steps and knocked on the knocker. In a moment, a young man in Tsing Yi poked his head out of the door. The man hugged his wrists and smiled: "This little brother is invited, please let me know, Yin Xun, the chief steward of Meizhou Yashan Villa, came to the house to pay the account." ”

When the little guy heard this, he hurriedly opened the door, saluted respectfully, and said, "It turned out to be the steward of Yashan Villa, and the little one will go to the court." He saw that there were old men, boys, and maids following him, and said busily: "It's cold, if the chief steward doesn't dislike it, please move to the gatehouse to warm up." ”

"There's Brother Lao." The man smiled, then turned around and said to the old man: "Dad, we came early, and the master may not get up." It's cold, how about my son helping you to go to the concierge to sit for a while? ”

The old man nodded and said, "Let Jiang Wei, Wang Di guard our car outside, and wait for the house steward to pick it up." With that, he took his grandson's hand and stepped forward slowly.

The moment he crossed the threshold, he became a little excited. In detail, he hasn't been to the New Year's House for six years.

This old man is Yin Xun, the chief steward of Meizhou Yashan Villa, the son of the county king's house, and his family was selected to be the county lord's companion when he was young, and he also came to the Nian family with him. The dowry industry of the old lady did not follow the family rules of the Nian family - using the Nian family to operate a few percent, and not using a few percent, but all the money was operated by her own accompanying family, but all the profits went to the Nian family. This Yin Xun started as an apprentice all the way, helped in the old lady's dowry industry, and was gradually promoted to the chief steward of Yashan Villa.

Now Yin Xun is sixty and seven, half his life has been hardworking, and his body bones have long been not so strong, although Meizhou is only half a month away from Fuze, but the road is tiring, and he can't bear it. Therefore, a few years ago, the old lady granted him permission not to come to the New Year's Mansion to serve the accounts, and promoted his second son Yin Bin to act as the agent to manage the accounts. He sat at ease and guarded Yashan Villa, and never stepped out of Meizhou for six years, until he received a letter from the old lady half a month ago, and he couldn't sit still when he mentioned that Yashan Villa had changed hands, and he always felt that there was no reason why this big pipe fact could not come, so he went to Beijing with his son.

There are two servants in the gatehouse who have stayed for a year, although they don't know the old man Yin Xun, but they know Yin Bin, who comes to the house every year - although Yashan Villa is not the largest Zhuangzi in the old lady's marriage, but because it is located in the rich Meizhou, it is one of the Zhuangzi who has the most income, so every year Yin Bin comes to pay tribute to the door. In the end, if the hands of others are short, how can these janitor servants be disrespectful? I just heard Yin Bin report to his home, and knew that it was the chief housekeeper of Yashan Villa who had also arrived, so he got up to greet him, and asked the upper seat to serve tea, and said with a smile: "Chief Steward Yin came early today, I'm afraid I will have to wait for a while." We don't have any good tea here, so I hope you will forgive me. ”

Yin Xun chatted with them for a while, it was nothing more than that the master was healthy, the master was prosperous, and the young master was successful in his studies. I heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and as soon as the felt curtain was lifted, four or five men in green shirts came in. Yin Xun looked carefully at the embroidery on the clothes of those people, and knew that the person at the head was a first-class housekeeper, so he stood up, and just before he could speak, the man had already rushed up and asked An Dao first: "Wei Di has seen the chief steward Yin, and the chief steward is blessed with longevity and health." ”

"Dad, this is Steward Wei who bought it." Yin Bin on the side knew him, and he was busy introducing his father, and after greeting him twice, he himself also saw the salute, and invited his nephew Yin Ying to worship. At the end, he looked at Wei Di's clothes with a little envy, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a year, brother, you have risen again!" Congratulations. ”

Wei Di smiled: "Rejoice and rejoice." It's just that Wei is no longer on the purchase, and now he is on an errand in the North Courtyard of East Road. ”

The north courtyard of the East Road is the residence of the Nian family. Yin Xun nodded secretly, the master's letter mentioned that the property would be handed over to the descendants, since it was this Wei Di who came to pick them up, it seems that the property is going to be handed over to the big house. It's just that I heard that the eldest master is still in the northwest, and the big house in Beijing is only a sixth master who has been sick since childhood, or three days are good and two days are bad, I don't know this industry...... Could it be that the Tenth Master is coming back from the Northwest? Counting the tenth and eleventh masters, it should also be the age of the imperial examination, I don't know if I have passed the current subject......

He was pondering in his mind, but he said politely: "The old man has not come to Gyeonggi for a long time, and he is anxious to think of the Lord, so he is in a hurry, and when he arrives in the mansion at this hour, I am afraid that it will disturb your good sleep......

Before he finished speaking, Wei Di hurriedly said, "The big steward has tormented the little ones!" Don't say nothing—it's the third quarter of the first month, and you can't afford it; Even if you come back in the middle of the night, the boys dare to delay your old business? The chief steward, please move to the back hall first, and then go to the old lady and the old lady after breakfast, okay? ”

Yin Xun knew that the master would not get up at this time, so it was just a round field, and he smiled at the moment: "Very good." There is a Lauwe housekeeper. ”

Wei Di invited everyone to the Pelican Courtyard, which specially received these property stewards in the back hall of the middle road, and asked someone to put breakfast on the table, and he accompanied him to eat. As soon as the tea was served at the end of the meal, a small servant came to report that Wu Chang, the young shopkeeper of the Meizhou branch of Nianshoutang, came to serve the account.
