When night fell, Zhao Paner and Xiao Fan did not return to the city, but lived in the courtyard of the village.

After appeasing the tenants, Xiao Fan had the killed Wu Yang and other stewards transported to a nearby mass grave and buried them hastily.

As for the management of Blackstone Village, after discussing with Xiao Fan, Zhao Paner felt that he could only send some trustworthy people from Xiao Wen's side.

Over the years, Xiao Fan has not paid much attention to the farms that don't make too much money, because compared with the sea trade that earned tens of thousands of yuan, the income of these dozens of dumps of land is only about 1,000 yuan a year, which is not so important.

This is also why Qian Lang didn't care much about this side before, as long as the amount of money paid was not too different, he didn't bother to care.

After all, when the water is clear, there are no fish, and he knows that there will definitely be some corruption in it, but it is not a big problem, and it is harmless.

It's just that I don't know if I don't check, I was shocked when I checked it, although Qian Chong and others on the side of Sangpozhuang were a little corrupt, but it was indeed a trivial matter.

I didn't expect this Black Stone Village to go so far, not to mention corruption, it even bullied men and women, and even killed many people directly or indirectly.

So much so that after someone supported them, the tenants were so angry that they rushed up and killed them directly, not to mention, but also drank their blood and ate their flesh.

"You now know why I said I was going to check it from time to time, right?" Zhao Paner stood in the courtyard, looking at the stars in the sky and said sadly.

"For us, not supervising the head of the village is nothing more than a little money. But for those tenants, the oppression of the group of village leaders in Wuyang made them powerless to resist."

"But you've been clothed and fed since you were a child, so it should be hard to understand their feelings, right? Just like when I was in the camp, the stewards beat and scolded us, but we didn't dare to resist, because resisting would only lead to more severe beatings."

Xiao Fan hugged Zhao Pan'er excitedly and comforted, "No, I can understand, for me, it's just a little thing like sand, but when it falls on them, it's as heavy as a mountain."

Xiao Fan also wanted to say that he would do his best to let Zhao Paner be able to control his own destiny in the future, and he would definitely not be at the mercy of people like before, but he was powerless to resist.

However, the words were not spoken, just stroked the hair on the back of her head and hugged her tighter. Although Xiao Fan in the back didn't say it, Zhao Paner felt it deeply.

"Fanlang, you are so good!" Zhao Paner gently wiped the tears that flowed out of her emotion.

But the changed voice did not hide from Xiao Fan, after gently pushing it away, he held Zhao Pan'er's smooth face with both hands, wiped the tears with the thumbs of both hands for her, and teased her: "Pan'er, how did I find out that you are like a crying bag?"

"Crying bag?" Zhao Pan'er suddenly stopped, put Xiao Fan's hands away, and glared angrily.

"Isn't it? Look at you? Before the great success of the natural dwelling, you cry; Then you cry when you see the miserable life of the tenants; Now I didn't say anything, and you cried again." Xiao Fan continued to tease.

"Humph!" Zhao Pan'er snorted arrogantly, glanced at Xiao Fan, and didn't accompany him in the yard to watch the stars, feeling that it was boring to feed mosquitoes with him here, it was better to rest early, there were still a lot of things to deal with tomorrow.

"Pan'er, wait for me." Xiao Fan chased after him and said, "When the matter here is settled, let's go to Baoshan to see the two newly bought big boats, and then return to Hangzhou by sea, how about it?"

"By sea? Well, I'm so old that I haven't been to sea yet!" Zhao Pan'er said happily: "It just so happens that Uncle Thirteen has already brought people over, and it is estimated that it will be processed in a few days, and this time they will go to Nanyang to go to Hangzhou to get a batch of goods."

"It's fine if you agree, but don't worry about it for now, let's wash up and rest first." Saying that, Xiao Fan hugged Zhao Paner back to the room.

"You let me down, I'll go by myself!"

"I'll hold on and walk faster, don't let go!"

...........

Next, Xiao Fan and Zhao Paner stayed in Heishizhuang for another two days, and did not return to Suzhou City until the new head steward came over.

After returning home, Wei Xingshou came to see her that afternoon, and she came over every day for the past few days

It was Zhao Paner and Xiao Fan who had been busy with the affairs of Heishizhuang and did not come back.

"Childe, eldest lady, Wei Xingshou has brought it." The little guy who led the way took Wei Xingshou to the back to report.

After Wei Xingshou came in, he was stunned when he heard the little maid's name for Zhao Pan'er, and then he looked at Xiao Fan, as if asking him what he didn't tell himself in advance.

Zhao Pan'er was also stunned for a moment when she saw Wei Xingshou like this, and asked Xiao Fan, "Didn't you tell Wei Xingshou my identity?"

"No, isn't that without your permission? I didn't tell Wei Xingshou." Xiao Fan held back a smile and said with a smile, in fact, he deliberately didn't say it, just to watch today's famous scene.

"It's inconvenient to reveal my identity before, I hope Wei Xingshou will forgive me!" Zhao Paner said slightly apologetic.

"Yes, I guessed that you might be a daughter, but I didn't expect you to be the eldest lady of Xiao Guanren. In addition, the eldest lady doesn't have to call me Wei Xingshou anymore, my real name is Wei Xian'er, you can just call me Xian'er." Wei Xian'er said respectfully.

"You must wonder why I suddenly want to redeem you, right? Actually, my lady asked me to help you redeem yourself!" Xiao Fan said to Wei Xian'er.

"What the big lady asked?" Wei Xian'er was surprised.

Although he also wondered why Xiao Fan suddenly wanted to help him redeem himself, after all, she and Xiao Fan had known each other for several years, but he never had the intention of helping her redeem herself.

Moreover, Wei Xian'er asked Xiao Fan the reason for helping him redeem himself, but he didn't say it, but he didn't expect that it was Zhao Pan'er who asked him to help him redeem himself.

"It's true that I asked Fan Lang to help you redeem yourself, because I heard Fan Lang talk about you and sympathize with you, so I begged him to help you get out of your country. And you don't have to call me a big lady, we will be friends in the future, you can just call me Pan'er." Zhao Paner said.

"Big ..... Then I'll call you Pan'er, what do you mean by sympathy?" Wei Xian'er wondered.

"Because we have a similar experience, we also didn't get into the cheap nationality because of my father's sin, and we also entered the music camp, but I was luckier than you, and when my father's old ministry came to help me get out of my naturalization, Zhizhou didn't embarrass me and let me get out of my naturalization and return to my hometown."

"Moreover, now that God has opened my eyes, I have also met Fan Lang. I can relate to your experience and know what it's like to be at Camp for yourself, so I want to help you." Zhao Paner said sincerely.

Now Zhao Paner has already walked out of the past, and she no longer feels inferior to her former lowly status, because she knows that Xiao Fan loves her and doesn't care about her past lowly status.

"Pan'er, you're also from a lowly background?" Wei Xian'er was shocked.

When Xiao Fan heard this, he directly stepped forward and hugged Zhao Pan'er, and said, "Pan'er was indeed in a lowly state, but she has long since left her nationality and returned to her hometown, and then made a living selling tea in Qiantang, making her tea shop the first in Qiantang."

"Didn't you think about your future livelihood? You can ask Pan'er, when it comes to business, he is a good hand. Now she is the eldest lady in my house, and she is in charge of all the property for me."

Wei Xian'er looked at Zhao Pan'er in disbelief, she didn't expect her to be so good at business, and then asked, "Pan'er, since you are so powerful, then can you help me see what kind of business I am suitable for?"

"Actually, you can do any business, but if you want to do business, it's best to do business in an industry that you are familiar with." Zhao Pan'er thought for a while and asked, "Xian'er, what do you usually know better?"

"Me? I usually practice piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and dancing, and I don't know much about other things." Wei Xian'er was a little embarrassed.

"So? That's going to be a bit harder!" Zhao Pan'er thought for a while and said, "By the way, as an Oiran, you must know something about rouge gouache and the like, right?"

"Are you going to let me do the rouge gouache business?" Wei Xian'er's eyes lit up.

Zhao Pan'er nodded: "Not only that, in addition to rouge gouache, you can also sell spices, I think you should be familiar with these, right?"

Wei Xian'er nodded frantically when she heard this, she was just confused for a while because she had just left the country. After Zhao Paner's reminder, the thinking was much clearer.

As a Suzhou Oiran, how could she not know about rouge gouache

？ Not only does she know, but she is very good at it.

And she is also very good at studying spices, and she has studied a lot of secret recipes, and the incense she burned in Tianxianglou can add a lot of color to her.

"Have you figured out where you're going to do business in the future?" Zhao Paner asked again.

"Just Suzhou! I've grown up in Suzhou since I joined the camp, and I don't know much about other places." Wei Xian'er said a little helplessly.

"Hey-" Zhao Pan'er didn't know what to say, in fact, she didn't really recommend Wei Xian'er to stay in Suzhou, she could go anywhere, but she couldn't go back to Suzhou.

Because when she was in Qiantang, she was harassed because she was a lowly status, and she had to bear the criticism of others.

If it weren't for Song Yinzhang's presence in Hangzhou Leying, and she promised to take care of Song Yinzhang before Yinzhang's sister died, I'm afraid she would have left Qiantang a long time ago.

Wei Xian'er, as the former Oiran of Suzhou, is afraid that there are few people in the entire city of Suzhou who don't know her, and she will only be harassed and criticized more at that time.

"What's wrong? Worried that I will be criticized because of my former identity? Rest assured, I can bear it." Wei Xian'er pretended to be fine, and comforted Zhao Pan'er in turn.

Xiao Fan looked at the situation in front of him, thought about it, and suggested, "Or, Wei Niangzi, you go to Hangzhou or Qiantang with us?" We'll take care of you when the time comes."

"W-isn't that good?" Wei Xian'er was afraid that Zhao Pan'er would be unhappy, after all, the relationship between her and Xiao Fan was already a little delicate.

And Zhao Paner not only helped herself get out of her nationality, but also taught herself to do business, so she shouldn't go to Hangzhou or even Qiantang with her, which would only add to the blockage between Zhao Paner and Xiao Fan.

"It's okay, it's good that you can take care of you after you pass. And I know a lot of sisters over there in Hangzhou Leying, so I can let them take care of your business in the future." Zhao Paner looked at it very freely.

Seeing that Zhao Paner also said so, Wei Xian'er no longer insisted, after all, she didn't want to stay in Suzhou, but she was not familiar with other places before, and she was afraid that it would affect the relationship between Zhao Paner and her husband.

After deciding on it, Zhao Paner told Wei Xian'er about the itinerary she and Xiao Fan had prepared, wanting to see if she planned to go back by sea with her, or take a passenger boat directly along the canal to Qiantang.

After discussing, Xiao Fan decided to take Zhao Paner to play in Suzhou for a few days before setting off.

After all, when Zhao Paner came to Suzhou for the first time, she would definitely take her around, eat delicious food, and have fun all over the place. Moreover, it takes a lot of time for Qian Lang to buy a ship and load the goods.

In the next few days, Xiao Fan took Zhao Paner to eat, drink and have fun everywhere in Suzhou.

also took Zhao Paner to the famous Hanshan Temple outside the city to incense, and asked for a wish. Staring at Zhao Pan'er, who looked yearning, he asked, "What sign are you asking for?" What wish was made? So happy?"

"Hmph—I won't tell you!"

Thinking of the wish she had just made, Zhao Paner's face flushed slightly. She made a wish to have a child, as for the result? Sign up!

When Xiao Fan took Zhao Pan'er to go shopping, there was also news from Qian Lang's side, saying that it had been arranged over there, and they were waiting for them to set off together.

The next day, in Qian's reluctant tears and nagging, with the blessing of his brother and sister, Xiao Fan and his party left Suzhou and went to Baoshan.

There, they'll board the ship, and then sail all the way along the coastline to Hangzhou, where the ship will dock to load the cargo, and they'll go straight to Qiantang.

"Xianggong, why don't you send the second son with your wife?" Xiao Zhong and Xiao Qinyan stood on the city gate tower together, looking at Xiao Fan and the others who were out of the city below.

"Hmph-this son is disobedient, he has to live in another place, and I, the old man, still have to go to see him off?"

Xiao Qinyan is actually not a complicated person, in his eyes, power is the most important, but without affecting his power, he still cares about his relatives very much, especially the second son who has recently become prominent.

It's just because of the previous arrangement on the Qiantang River and the relationship between Zhao Pan'er that the gap between him and Xiao Fan is not small. Although he knew it was his fault, his dignity as a father did not allow him to bow to his son.

It wasn't until the figures of Xiao Fan and the others disappeared at the end of the field of vision that Xiao Qinyan said to Xiao Zhong on the side quite lonely, "Let's go back!"

Xiao Fan naturally couldn't know that Xiao Qinyan, who said that he was going to the government office, actually watched himself and others from the city tower, and he was chatting with Zhao Pan'er and Wei Xian'er in the carriage.

Because they were not in a hurry, it took Xiao Fan and the others two days to rush to Baoshan.

After arriving in Baoshan, Xiao Fan found that Zhang Rui was actually here, so he asked, "Uncle, are you going to go to sea with my thirteenth uncle?"

Zhang Rui blushed when she heard this, and didn't say a word, mainly because she and Qian Lang had been married for more than a year because of a misunderstanding before, and her stomach hadn't moved, and Qian Lang went to Nanyang this time, and she was a little anxious.

"Go, go, just allow you and Pan'er to stick together every day, I'm going to go far away, can't I let my lady accompany me more?" Qian Lang shook his hand at Xiao Fan and said unhappily.
