And in that situation at that time, Chu Lan couldn't easily trust anyone, even Yuan Zhengqin, who was the prefect, Chu Lan couldn't believe it.

In contrast, Fan Chengxu is more trustworthy.

Because Fan Chengxu is half an outsider, Chu Lan doesn't know what the Fan family behind him is planning, but Fan Chengxu himself is an outlier, when the two studied together in the past, he was a person who only thought about how to do business and make money all day long.

Although Fan Chengxu studied and worked with many princes, he never got close to any prince, did not want to get involved in any struggle, and was not close to Chu Lan.

Once Chu Lan, Fan Chengxu and other princes who went to school together played Flying Flower Order together, and each took a pronoun, Qingyuan was the pronoun Fan Chengxu took at that time, and Zongyu was Chu Lan's pronoun.

Therefore, Fan Chengxu not only recognized Chu Lan's handwriting, but also immediately determined that the person who wrote the letter was Chu Lan when he saw that the signature was Zongyu.

Because the letter only said about borrowing money, Fan Chengxu didn't say anything after thinking about it, and only sent the silver ticket over and offered help as much as he could.

As Chu Lan expected, Fan Chengxu did not inform anyone, including his high-ranking uncle.

Fan Chengxu thought for a while and took the box of jewelry.

"The grass people thank Your Highness for your grace."

Fan Chengxu, who received the thank you gift, quietly waited for Chu Lan's questioning later.

He knew that if it was just to "pay back the money", Chu Lan would not run this trip in person, since he came, there must be other things.

But Chu Lan didn't mention it, and Fan Chengxu didn't take the initiative to ask.

After being silent for a while, Chu Lan asked, "What news did you get about my attack this time?" ”

"Your Highness, I know so much about your injury, before I received your letter, I only knew that you were attacked and disappeared, and I didn't know anything else." Fan Chengxu immediately cleared up his involvement.

"As the head snake of Taizhou Mansion, there should be a lot of ears and eyes here." Chu Lan said.

"Although I have been in Taizhou for some years, I have spent most of my mind on doing business, and I don't know much about other things." Fan Chengxu replied, not a drop of water.

"Then do you think it's possible that someone is the killer of me?" Chu Lan asked again.

He looked at Fan Chengxu with a pair of sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see some flaws in Fan Chengxu's body.

"Your Highness, how dare I speculate on this big matter?" Fan Chengxu smiled, still leaking.

"Then do you know that someone recently submitted a suicide note from Xu Guogong to the emperor, which is expected to overturn the case for Xu Guogong." Chu Lan suddenly mentioned a name that no one dared to mention publicly for a long time.

"Xu Guogong's autographed suicide note? How so? It's been eighteen years, and the mansion of the Duke of Xu back then was turned upside down, how could you wait until now if you have a suicide note......

Fan Chengxu showed a surprised expression.

Fan Chengxu said again: "Besides, eighteen years have passed, and the people related to the Xu Guo Mansion are only white bones, who else will overturn the case for the Xu Guo Mansion?" ”

"Don't forget, Queen Xu gave birth to a child in Jing'an Temple back then." Chu Lan said.

"Your Highness, don't be joking, the Nine Emperors were buried on Longhuan Mountain in the west of the capital, and the emperor also built a prince's mausoleum for him."

This treatment is only available to the Nine Emperor Princes, and the princes who died before also have it, but none of them have this treatment.

"But lately, it's rumored that he's still alive." Chu Lan said.

"It's unlikely......"

"No, something has already happened." Chu Lan said.

"The grass people don't know." Fan Chengxu could only laugh.

Chu Lan looked at Fan Chengxu's appearance and knew that he couldn't ask anything.

Then he turned and left.

It wasn't until Chu Lan left that Fan Chengxu shook his fan helplessly and sighed: "It's really troublesome, I've been hiding so far, how can I still be found here?" ”

He just wants to make money, and if Chu Lan wants to pull him into the water, he won't jump down stupidly.

At that time, he had no choice but to receive Chu Lan's letter, and he couldn't help it, so he contributed money and effort.

###

On the twenty-fifth day of the first month, the beginning of spring.

The weather is warmer, and the new year's farming will begin.

When Wei Ruo arrived at Zhuangzi, the people on Zhuangzi had already been busy all morning.

Steward Yu explained to Wei Ruo with a smile: "Last year, everyone almost starved and frozen, and this year they are determined to farm well and want to eat enough, so the temperature warms up a little, and they start to work. ”

"Last year, the land that improved and fertilized, this year it took a little more effort to make all the rice fields, and after two months, I began to make seedlings to prepare for sowing and raising seedlings, and this year may still be colder than in previous years, so plant early." Wei Ruo commanded.

Wei Ruo's Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Fucheng is mainly divided into two parts, the original fertile land has 1,000 mu, and the newly purchased land with less fertile soil is almost more than 1,000 mu.

Nine hundred acres of the original 1,000 acres of fertile land were planted with her new wheat seeds, and now they are growing well, and last year's heavy snow did not affect them much, so they only need to wait for the harvest in April and May.

There are also 100 acres of fertile land planted with cold-resistant vegetables - rape, radish, cabbage, etc. Except for the days when it snows heavily, some can be picked every day.

Since last year, more than 1,000 acres of land purchased have been improving and fertilizing the land, and now it is almost there, and it will be used to sow rice after turning over the ground, leveling, and irrigation.

"I was a little worried that the seedlings would not grow well when I planted them too early, and the temperature is not too high now." Steward Yu said.

"Don't worry, I'll bring some good grain seeds, you plant them according to my instructions, there will be no problem." Wei Ruo was confident.

"Okay." The owner is so sure, and Manager Yu has no doubts.

I stayed on the Zhuangzi for a morning, and when I returned home in the afternoon, my butt was still hot, so Cuiping came over to invite me.

"Miss, madam, please come over."

Wei Ruo guessed if the Yun clan would be annoyed by his move to run out again.

In the past few days, because Mr. Wang Caiwei has not returned to Taizhou Mansion, she has not gone to Tianqin Garden to attend classes, and it coincides with the beginning of spring, Wei Ruo will go to Zhuangzi to arrange matters when he is free.

Wei Ruo didn't ask much, and followed Cuiping to Cangyun Garden.

After entering the door, Yun beckoned Wei Ruo to sit down beside him with a smile on his face.

"Why did my mother come to me?" Wei Ruo asked.

"That's right, last year your father was promoted, and he also got some rewards, plus the dowry for his mother, he was able to make up seven or eight hundred taels of silver, and his mother wanted to use this silver to buy some more properties in Fucheng."

The Yun family also has brains, and if they have silver, they have to buy an industry.

Their family is in the Zhuangzi of Xingshan County, which is definitely not enough.
