Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

In the end, Su Zhe's 30% of the profits from the new workshop could not be given away. Xu Huaiyi refused it completely, but he also left him enough face. He did not want the shares, but he would accept any gifts of thanks.

This finally put Su Zhe's uneasy heart at ease.

I hope you don't mind.

When Xu Huaiyi returned home in the evening, Su Zhe's thank-you gift arrived. The main feature was its generosity. It included fertile fields, shops, calligraphy and paintings, and books. He also picked out the expensive and good ones.

There are also seeds, peppers and corns bought from overseas, about several kilograms. I heard that I paid a high price when I bought them from foreigners.

This made Gu Huanxi feel a little guilty and soft-hearted, "Isn't this a bit too harsh? After all, they are friends..."

Xu Huaiyi picked at those things and said very soberly, "We are friends and businessmen. The more he gives, the happier I am to accept, and the more comfortable he will feel. The friendship between him and me is real, but the exchange of interests is also real. The two are not in conflict."

"What about you and Li Yunting?"

"There are fewer interests involved, but how can the interaction between people be truly pure? That's unrealistic. Just have a clear conscience."

After discussing, the couple decided to register the thank-you gifts, fertile land and shops under Gu Xiaoyu's name as his private property. For this purpose, Xu Huaiyi specially called Han Jun to the study to talk.

He is my mother’s uncle, so I have to tell Han Jun about this kind of thing.

Han Jun felt complicated after hearing the two's decision. He was silent for a while before he said earnestly, "You have already shown great kindness by raising Jin'er and treating her as your own. You don't have to go this far. Just leave the shop and the farmland to Ah Li..."

Xu Huaiyi said, "Ali is my biological daughter. How can I, as a father, let her down? You don't have to feel pressured. I'll leave most of what I earn for my daughter. But Xiaoyu is also my son. Even though he's not my biological son, I won't give him less..."

Han Jun hesitated and said, "This is inappropriate. You have given him enough. How can he ask for more..."

He felt ashamed. After all, his nephew couldn't stay in the Gu family forever, let alone continue the Gu family's lineage. How could he accept the money and property given by others? How was this different from taking food and money?

Xu Huaiyi knew exactly what he was thinking, so he didn't argue with him. Instead, he asked, "Did Xiaoyu have any private property when she was in the Grand Prince's Palace?"

Han Jun was stunned for a moment and shook his head. The eldest prince's father had neither the support of his maternal family nor the favor of the emperor. He was extremely poor, so how could he have any extra property to leave to his son?

Among all the princes, the eldest prince lived the most miserable life. When he left the palace to set up his own household, it was said that he received 12,000 taels of silver as a settlement allowance. Fortunately, the Ministry of Rites was fully responsible for his marriage, otherwise he would not have been able to afford a decent betrothal gift, which would have been a huge joke.

Xu Huaiyi was not surprised when he heard this, and asked again, "What about Xiaoyu's mother's dowry? Didn't she give it to Xiaoyu?"

After a woman gets married, her dowry becomes her private property and her husband's family cannot touch it. Even if the woman dies, the dowry should be inherited by her children. If someone else takes it away, it is a violation of the laws of Dayong.

Han Jun explained, "My sister's dowry is all with me, but it's not much. When I left the capital with Jin'er last year, the eldest prince asked me to take it all with me. But later I was assassinated and had to escape, so I had no choice but to give up those things. Now, there are only two shops and a three-story house, as well as a farm in the suburbs of Beijing, with 600 acres of land..."

He paused, then smiled bitterly, "Right now, Jin'er can't take over openly, and even I can't step forward. Fortunately, there is a reliable manager to help. Every three months, the rent of the shop and the output of the farm will be sent to Jiyang Prefecture. My father will keep it for the time being and give it to Jin'er in the future."

Xu Huaiyi nodded, looking clear, "In this case, you should let Xiaoyu take over the shop and fertile land I gave you."

Han Jun was puzzled. "Why? He doesn't lack money now. Don't you give him a monthly allowance every month?"

Xu Huaiyi said helplessly, "Ten taels a month, what can you do with that little pocket money?"

Of course, ten taels of silver is a huge sum of money for ordinary people. But for a wealthy family, it can only be used to buy snacks and toys, and occasionally go out for entertainment, but it can't accomplish anything big.

Han Jun said subconsciously, "But he has no use for the money right now, so in the future..."

Xu Huaiyi interrupted, "Who said he has no use for silver?"

Hearing this, Han Jun's eyes suddenly became deep, "Huaiyi, Jin'er is still young."

It's really too early to plan now. The eldest prince is still guarding the imperial mausoleum. It's too unrealistic to prepare for that before anything happens. Do you think the other princes are dead?

Xu Huaiyi said casually, "What's wrong with being young? If you don't plan when you are young, will you still have a chance when you grow up? Isn't the planning of the royal family a long-term one? Like the eldest prince, he thought he could live a stable life without desires. Is that possible? No one will believe it. Even if you don't fight or compete, you will be dragged into it. The eldest prince must be experiencing the feeling of being forced to do things against his will. He wants to be a Buddhist, but others treat him as a pawn. He has no preparations, so what will happen to him in the end?"

Han Jun was speechless.

Xu Huaiyi snorted, "Guarding the imperial mausoleum is still good, at least he is alive, but if it really comes to a life-and-death situation, he may not be lucky enough to escape? Even if he can escape, what about Xiaoyu? Why was Xiaoyu murdered in his own home a few years ago? Isn't it because of his sensitive identity? He is an eyesore to others and blocks the way for others. Who else can he harm? I thought you should have clearly realized Xiaoyu's situation after taking him through a hunt and escape. How dare you still hold on to your luck?"

"I didn't, I know it very well..."

"Since you know it clearly, you should understand that unless Xiaoyu never returns to the First Prince's Mansion, he will die if he doesn't fight. And you, me, and everyone else who is related to him can't avoid it."

Hearing this, Han Jun said with a guilty conscience, "It was not my intention to involve you, but I am still sorry for you..."

Xu Huaiyi waved his hand, "Forget it, why are you talking about this? Time cannot be reversed. It's fate, it's God's will. Besides, my wife and I really love Xiaoyu. We treat him like our own son, worry about him, and suffer for him. Even if we have to take the risk of being beheaded, it's what we should do. As a family, shouldn't we share happiness and hardships together?"

Han Jun said sincerely, "Jin'er is lucky and blessed to meet you and recognize you as his father. In the future, no matter how far he goes, he must respect you. Otherwise, I, as your uncle, will be the first one to not forgive him."

Xu Huaiyi laughed with a happy expression, "Hahaha, I was waiting for you to say that. Although I am confident that Xiaoyu will not be an ungrateful person, I feel more comfortable with your guarantee as an uncle. These 1,000 acres of fertile land and shops were not given to me in vain..."

Han Jun wanted to refuse, "One thing is another..."

Xu Huaiyi said, "Okay, don't be polite. As a father, it is only natural for me to buy some private property for my son. Just treat it as a training for him. Don't just focus on studying and practicing martial arts. If you don't understand the little things in your head, you will be easily cheated in the future. Besides, he will have many places to spend money in the future, so he should have some money to rely on. It's not okay for him to be like you, not working and having nothing to lose!"

Seeing that he still had something to say, Xu Huaiyi had to be more straightforward, "Xiao Yu will leave sooner or later, and he needs to be alone. I can't take the people from the Gu family with him, right? He won't be happy with them, and they won't be able to treat him wholeheartedly. It's better for the people I train myself to be more loyal. What do you think?"

Han Jun's heart was shocked. When Xu Huaiyi said that he would give Jin'er private property, he was not shocked. He was just surprised and felt that Xu Huaiyi was really generous and kind. But at this moment, he was really shocked.

Having read about the darkness and filth in history books and witnessed countless political schemes, he had long since given up on human nature. However, he had never expected Xu Huaiyi to be so upright.

It makes him look petty.

He had also worried that Xu Huaiyi, in raising his nephew, would not only tie him emotionally to him, but would also make some arrangements in other areas, such as placing people in his care. This was also human nature, and he had no complaints. People were sincere and devoted to their nephew, and they were afraid that their nephew would become uncontrollable when he became successful. It was reasonable for him to use people he had trained to control him, as long as he didn't think of turning his nephew into a puppet.

Unexpectedly, they had no such plan at all.

That is complete trust and letting go.

Han Jun was deeply moved and didn't think Xu Huaiyi was acting. He clasped his fists and saluted, "Thank you so much!"

Xu Huaiyi said indifferently, "We are comrades in the same boat. We should stick together through thick and thin. Why are you being polite to me? You will know me after spending more time with me. I don't like to play tricks. Let's just say what we have to say to avoid any misunderstandings. I am not a Bodhisattva, I don't have the compassion to save all living beings, and I am not a saint. I don't do good without expecting anything in return. But I will not discuss benefits with my family, and I will not use emotions to kidnap anything. If you have that intention, I will accept it calmly. If you don't have that intention, I, Xu Huaiyi, will never force it!"

After hearing this, Han Jun was full of admiration. Just as he was about to say a few words of praise, he was stopped by Xu Huaiyi, "Don't praise me. I just live a more reasonable life. You are also a reasonable person. We are all Xiaoyu's relatives. Only when we work together can Xiaoyu get better. If Xiaoyu gets better, we can also get better in the future. Don't you think so?"

Han Jun nodded heavily, "Yes..."

"I won't try to use the emperor to control the other princes. You can rest assured, but you have to let me rest assured too!"

Han Jun understood the deep meaning behind these words, but he was not angry. He said solemnly, "Don't worry, I don't have that ambition, nor do I have that ability."

Xu Huaiyi laughed, as if he was not the one who was warned just now. "That's good. I feel relieved. In fact, it's okay even if you can't do it. After all, I'm watching you."

Han Jun, "..."

There is no need to say this.

Xu Huaiyi gave him the deeds to the fertile land and shops, as well as the indentures of Baopu Shouzhuo and others.

Han Jun took it to the east wing.

Gu Xiaoyu hadn't slept yet. He was reading a book under the lamp. The furnishings in the room were all to his liking. When he had nothing to do, he liked to stay in this study and sit on the sofa. He didn't have to straighten his body so properly. He could just relax and lean on the soft pillow and be as comfortable as he wanted.

My mother is like this. Not only is her posture casual, but there is always a pile of food and drinks at hand. She really enjoys reading.

He also learned it and found it really comfortable.

When it came to choosing books, his mother never required him to read the Four Books and Five Classics. She encouraged him to read miscellaneous books as well, as long as he liked them and could get satisfaction and pleasure from them.

When Han Jun came in, he saw his nephew curled up on the sofa in a very unpresentable manner, leaning against a pillow with a stuffed dog head in his arms. He was flipping through a book with one hand and with the other hand, pinching a pair of roasted walnut kernels beside him, putting a piece into his mouth from time to time. On his delicate face was an expression of enjoyment that he had never seen before.

He was stunned for a moment.

Gu Xiaoyu heard the noise and stood up and saluted.

Han Jun walked over with a complicated expression, told him the purpose of his visit, and then handed him the deeds.

Gu Xiaoyu took it with both hands, lowered his head and stared at it for a moment, then calmly put it away.

Han Jun asked tentatively, "What do you think? I didn't agree at first, but I also think the reasons your father gave make sense. However, if you don't want to, I will send it back for you..."

Gu Xiaoyu said in a normal tone, "No need, since my parents gave it to me, I'll just take it."

This reaction was somewhat beyond Han Jun's expectations. "Jin'er, you..."

Gu Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Uncle, you know what you mean, but I am my parents' son. It is normal for parents to give things to their sons. If I were to be polite, it would hurt the relationship between me and them, and I would be sorry for their kindness in raising me."

"So, you can accept it without any burden?"

"Well, I really don't have any burden. In the future, I will be filial to them, and they will do the same. The relationship between parents and children should be relaxed and comfortable, right?"

"But you are not my biological child after all..."

"Is what they do worse than my biological parents? Not only that, on the contrary, they are much more dedicated and conscientious than most parents. Their love for me is no less than that of Ah Li."

The eyes of the young boy in front of him were bright, firm, and even gentle. Han Jun didn't know whether to be happy for him or sad. He calmed down and changed the topic to business. "These people your father gave you will be yours in the future. With their indentures, they will only be loyal to you. No matter what the future holds, you will need all kinds of people around you. Before, your uncle also prepared some for you. They are being trained in other places. Later, your uncle will give you their indentures..."

"You are still young and cannot control these people. Your uncle will help you train them first. You can take the profits from the shop and use the output from the land to support those people. I calculated that I can buy some more people and train them from a young age. They will be useful in the future."

"Okay, I'll follow my uncle's arrangement."
