Xue Jiazi

Not to mention how ecstatic the Zhen family was when they heard the news of Jinling's arrival, Zhen Fei rushed all the way to Jinling with Feng's family, and didn't mention how surprised Zhen Yinglian was when she saw her parents. I can't believe it, the family is reunited anyway, and Feng Yuan, when he saw Zhen Fei, stepped forward to salute with a wink, and explained his intention to marry Zhen Yinglian.

At this time, Zhen Yinglian was already 12 years old, and it was also the time when ordinary people began to visit their daughters. Although Zhen Fei managed to find her daughter back, it was the time when she was reluctant to part again, but at least she knew that this was not her. Regarding the matter of playing temper, I asked Feng Yuan carefully about his situation, and learned that Feng Yuan had a small family, both parents died, and no brother contended for property, and I was sixteen or seventeen years old. After all, it has been seven years since my daughter was abducted, and her reputation is naturally not good. It is good to have such a candidate, but I am not satisfied with Feng Yuan's lack of skills, so I said, don't worry, he has no fame and no livelihood. The means to support the family, so I plan to give Feng Yuan three years, if Feng Yuan can pass the test to give birth to a child within three years, he will agree to the marriage, and will marry after Zhen Yinglian and Ji.

Zhen Fei's request can be said to be very reasonable, and Feng Yuan couldn't say no after hearing it. After thinking about it, he agreed, thinking that it would not be too difficult for him to be a child for three years, as long as he worked hard. Now, thinking that this sweetheart can find a family member smoothly, become the daughter of a wealthy family, and get started in the future will be regarded as decent, so there is nothing dissatisfied.

On the other side, the people sent by Master Liu also successfully captured the kidnapper's accomplices, and rescued a dozen children through the confessions of the kidnappers and his wife. Where the children are, they sent people to post notices in these places, asking the local magistrates, county magistrates, and families who lost their children in the past few years, and sent these children back home one by one smoothly. The children who were farther away had been monopolized long ago or were no longer there, so there was really no other way.

But no matter what, this time the magistrate’s contribution is still very great. Not only the family members of the rescued children are grateful, they sent plaques and silver taels, even the Ministry of Criminal Justice above also sent a letter of commendation, those who have been running for many days The fast catcher, the yamen servants, and no one got a lot of rewards. Thanks for the gifts, each person was divided up to no less than 20 taels of silver, and the head catcher got a full 50 taels. The whole yamen was full of laughter and laughter. It can be said that everyone is happy up.

So what is Xue Pan doing at this time?Hey, I'm annoyed that I didn't catch up with such a big show!Who told this to happen when Uncle Xue was taking the county test!Although he successfully passed the county examination and got a good result in the top ten, the whole family rejoiced, and the servants got an extra month's monthly money, but he himself was not too satisfied. Thinking about his previous position The county test is equivalent to the level of primary school graduation, and he actually only got in the top ten in the primary school graduation test. No wonder he is satisfied!

But immediately he didn't care about it anymore, because Fushou, as a close and loyal servant, was talking to him about Zhen Yinglian at this moment!

"What? Zhen Fei returned to Suzhou?"

Shocking secret ah!When did this happen?Isn't Zhen Fei already a monk?Where did this guy come from again?It's so weird!

The obvious shock on Xue Pan's face was seen by Fu Shou, but he didn't care about it in his heart, because Xue Pan did a good job of preparing from the beginning!In the name of inquiring about gossip, the people around him are always wandering around in Jinling. The person who has a good relationship with the little monk is also one of Xue Pan's people who inquired about gossip, so they all know who Zhen is. After the fire in the Calabash Temple, Fei Zao took his old wife to Daru Prefecture. He heard the news later that he was a monk or something. Such a person who thought he was a monk came back suddenly. I feel a little mysterious.

"That's not true, sir, I heard from that doorman that not only Master Zhen came back, but also Zhen Yinglian's old lady, and rebuilt the house and set up the family business. It seems that the family business has been restored. Look, in this way, this little girl is really the daughter of a wealthy family, and Master Zhen is a scholar, that is the daughter of a scholar, isn't this status a little girl who can't be compared!"

Xue Pan's head was in a mess, he couldn't help frowning, waved his hands, then thought for a while, and then said:

"It's weird, why do I feel that Zhen Fei suddenly appeared again just to wait for this girl to come home? Is it impossible for a servant to foretell? Well, by the way, this Feng Yuan, I remember, it seems that we used to investigate the wealthy households in the vicinity, and the scholars seem to have also investigated it, what's going on?"

In order to make up for the original body's guilt towards Feng Yuan in the original work, Xue Pan had also investigated Feng Yuan carefully, and also thought about whether he could help something, so in his memory, for this Feng Yuan In fact, it is very clear, but there is no entanglement between the two families after all, and he was young at the time, and it was not easy to make a move. If he asks now, he just wants to use Fushou to attract a chance to be brought up again.

"Speaking of which, this kid is not really a bad guy. His family business is a bit shallow, but he has no worries about food and clothing. He is a son of a rich family. His grandfather was an official. It seems that he bought it outside the city after he became an official from the sixth grade. A lot of land property, but later..."

Speaking of Xue Pan, this kid is actually a lucky man. Although Feng Yuan's grandfather was a small official, it is different between those who have been officials and those who have not. It's a little different, no matter how small an official is, even if he is not greedy, he will have a lot of money after decades of officialdom, so the family property he bought is quite a lot, with a full two thousand acres of land, and most of it is fertile land. In the city near the city wall, I bought another mansion with four entrances. There is also a shop on the street that sells some groceries. Although it is not a high-end family in Jinling, there is absolutely no such thing. The kind that people go back to provoke, it is said that as long as their family business is carefully maintained, there is absolutely no problem passing it on to the next four or five generations, but Feng Yuan's parents are not in good health and are not good at management, they are pure nerds , Honest people, they came and went, or were cheated, or for medical treatment. When the two died, less than half of the family business was left.

Feng Yuan was still young at that time, his parents died, and he was staying at home. Although there were no brothers to fight for property, most of the clan members were honest and responsible, timid and fearful. No one came to ask for trouble. Needless to say, Xue Pan can also tell from the original book that after Feng Yuan was beaten to death, this tribe still remembered to appeal for him, but Xue's family came to throw money, threatened, and immediately flinched.It's not a bad person, nor is it a loyal person, and it can be regarded as a normal person's reaction.

The tribe didn't respond, but some of the servants had selfish intentions and bullied the young master one by one. After many twists and turns, the shop was swallowed first, and some properties were invaded later. Fortunately, there was an old butler who was loyal. Geng Geng finally saved most of the family property for Feng Yuan, but when he came here, when Feng Yuan became a filial piety, there was only six or seven hundred acres of land left in the family. Fortunately, it was all fertile land, which was not bad.If it is managed well, it might be possible to reorganize the family business one day and restore the prosperity of the past.

It's just that after Feng Yuan became a filial piety, some of his old cronies and friends led him to fall in love with Longyang. He only knows how to play and is not dedicated to the family business, so there has been no improvement.The old butler took care of everything in the house for him conscientiously.

It can only be said that this Feng Yuan belongs to the kind of person who doesn't have to worry about himself, and has nobles in everything.And being beaten to death by Xue Pan can be said to be the only catastrophe in his life, and it is also the deadliest catastrophe. Now, Xue Pan has not intervened, and Zhen Fei has returned, using his marriage to hook him to make progress. Thinking about it, if things go on like this, I'm afraid he doesn't need to intervene, and Feng Yuan's future life will definitely not be bad, and he can be regarded as letting go of his worries.

"Well, this Feng Yuan is a lucky person. How many times have he been attracted to learn some prodigal things because of this family's property disputes, and even his family property was taken away? His family is ruined, but his fate is good. His family members are honest and his family has loyal servants. At this time, when he wants to marry, he can find a girl who has been abducted, and he can also find a daughter of a scholar. If he only looks at his reputation in Jinling, If you want to find a daughter-in-law from such a family, there are people who are willing!"

Xue Pan pretended to touch his chin, his eyes flickered, and Fushou couldn't stop nodding when he heard it.

"No, it's just that he has a good life. If the slave has his life, he can wake up laughing at night. Maybe it's some great virtue accumulated in the previous life!"

Hearing about past life accumulating virtue, Xue Pan suddenly thought of it, it seems that he had seen it in some fanfare before, saying that it was such a ghost or something, and the people they chose to have their families ruined in this world were lucky or had good karma People, they are doing this to win people's luck. Could it be that this is the luck that Feng Yuan should have?So is Zhen Fei also very lucky?

Thinking of this, Xue Pan became a little restless again, and suddenly stood up from the chair, walked around the room several times, and then came to Fushou's side, and said to him:

"You can handle this by yourself. Go to Suzhou and see if the gourd temple next to Zhen Fei's house is still unused. If it is unused, just buy it and build a house."

Fushou was a little dazed when he heard that, it was all burned, which meant that he had offended Vulcan, so why buy him, maybe there is something wrong with such a boundary!People can't avoid it, why is the uncle still on the pole?

Fu Shou scratched his head in confusion,

"Master, you, what are you trying to do? Is it possible that you want to set someone up? This is too expensive, and we can't think of ways to save money?"

What kind of master there is, there is what kind of slave, and Xue Pan's slaves are all shrewd people, or they are all stingy, and it is really not easy to earn their money!

And Xue Pan!The one who hated iron but gave Fushou a chestnut directly on his head, and said fiercely:

"You idiot, why haven't you learned how shrewd your master is from me!"

Xue Pan exhaled hard twice, tried hard to control the feet that couldn't help but want to touch Fushou's ass, calmed down, and then whispered:

"You idiot, don't even think about it. A person who has become a monk suddenly returned, and a family that had been ruined suddenly returned to its old appearance. Even the daughter who had been lost for seven years can be found back. What does this mean? Fu Luck, that is what you call good luck. Maybe Zhen Fei is the one who accumulated virtue in his previous life, and now he has such good luck. Think about it, where is that wasteland? It is a gourd temple, a temple, you say, generally Can the temple be built in a place with bad feng shui? Can the incense burn for such a long time? This fire seems to have angered the Vulcan, which is a disaster, but who knows if they did something wrong in the first place? What, the punishment given by God? Now after the punishment, the lucky ones have been relieved, and they are still building the house in the same place, reorganizing the family business, and then building the house. The child was found immediately. What does this mean? This means There is actually no problem with that place, and there is no problem with Fengshui. Now people have not turned their heads. If they figure it out, look, that place will flourish again! The most important thing is that the Fengshui of the Gourd Temple Since it is good, and there are many years of incense offerings, I think this place must also be blessed by Buddha, Buddhism and Taoism, do you think this place is good?"

Xue Pan didn't know if such a statement was valid, but he was really curious about Zhen Fei's matter, and wanted to take a closer look, hoping to see the trace of this monk, and He figured out why they didn't come to Xue's house to send something to Haishang, why they didn't go to Lin's house to teach Lin Daiyu to become a monk, and he wanted to know if his feeling was correct. He had a feeling that Zhen Fei came back on purpose for the purpose of Show yourself!

Of course, there is the last reason, that is Suzhou, the ancestral land of the Lin family, and there is no telling when the Lin family will return home, but if he goes there and owns his own property, wouldn't it be more justifiable?He still misses sister Lin very much.

Hearing Xue Pan's seemingly true and false words, Fushou was also a little dizzy, but it seemed reasonable, so he could only nod his head,

"Master, if you talk about it like this, we are going to act first. It really makes sense! You are still smart, and you want to get it all, but there is one more thing! Master, no matter how grand the Zhen Fei family is, this house can How big is it? As a neighbor to the Gourd Temple, I don’t know how much space the Gourd Temple’s land deed can have. If it’s too small, what should I do?”

In fact, Fushou is very smart. He is very clear about his position and identity, what he should do and what he should not do. For anything, I would rather pretend to be stupid, and I also want to get more information and understand more about the meaning of the uncle, for fear of doing something wrong or doing poorly.If the uncle sent him out, if he couldn't complete the task satisfactorily, wouldn't anyone be able to go there?Then how can he be a confidant in the future?

Xue Pan may not understand Fushou's intentions, but he still understands the meaning of his desire for more precise demands. He is not the college student he used to be. After so many years in this world, how can he be a master and try to understand people's hearts? It also has a certain degree of heat, and I understand more clearly that as long as the servant is loyal, then some small thoughts are not necessarily bad things, so I am relatively tolerant of Fushou, after all, I grew up with him, not my cronies!

"Even if a temple is small, it should have a size of three or four acres. If it is large, there are about ten acres. It seems that I really don't know. Maybe ask the little novice to know something. Well, this It's a small matter, you should bring more money first, no matter how big or small, buy it before you talk, and then see if the surrounding land is also deserted, just buy more, even if it is too big, and separate the yard later , it’s okay to come out of the shop.”

Having said that, Xue Pan turned around and walked to his small warehouse, opened the box, found a box, took out several bank notes from it, thought about it, and took some scattered silver.

"There are 1000 taels here. You can buy a lot of wasteland for such a homestead. After you buy it, you can directly build the fence first, and then draw the terrain. I'll talk about it when I come back. I'm trying to find someone to draw it. After the drawing is under construction, there are ten taels of silver here, you take the expenses, this is the silver for your work, after the completion of the work, I will have another reward when I come back, just don’t say it, if someone asks you to do it What, let’s just say, I’m going to help me look after the shop and collect the account books. To avoid getting ahead of others, this Suzhou is not Jinling after all, our Xue family is not that capable there, and we are ahead of others in everything. If there is really something If you can't handle it properly, go to the Lin family, because of the friendship between our family and Uncle Lin, the Lin family will not ignore it if they want to."

Speaking of which, since Xue Pan had a good relationship with Lin Ruhai, because of his own family study and book building, he also paid attention to the sacrifice field and united his clan. , but there are not many officials. As a result, in the original book, Lin Daiyu suffered in the capital, and no one vented his anger for him when he died of illness, so he looked down on Lin Ruhai's indifference to his tribe. Although he also thought that there might be other reasons, But he still felt that in this family-oriented world, it was unwise to completely give up his own people, and it was a manifestation of Lin Ruhai's decline in IQ.

So when he communicated with Lin Ruhai, he also hinted at the current situation of the Xue family, saying that Xue Xun would think of everything for him, because he was afraid that he would be the only one in the future, without any biological brothers or helpers. Helping, suffering from outside, so I put my heart on the clansman, using clan studies to promote the up-and-coming people in the clan, using the library to win the hearts of poor scholars, and planning survival opportunities for the clan's children, which effectively increased sacrifices. Tian helped the orphans and widows of the clan, and won the hearts of the clan for him. He was deeply moved by his good intentions.

Lin Ruhai is not a fool. Looking at Xue Pan's letter, he naturally thought of his own situation. At that time, he was only Lin Daiyu's daughter. Thinking about his age, even if he had a son, he was still an old man. In the future, he could watch him grow up. It's extravagant to get married, so what if the child doesn't have the support of his clan after he goes there?

Although he did have some disagreements with his clansmen, it was just a contradiction between his ancestors, and he just got used to not being in contact with each other. Now that he saw Xue's actions and thought about his own situation, he immediately felt that he couldn't go on like this. Even if you can't restore the close communication with the tribe, you should appease the hearts of the tribe so that they will be more kind to their children in the future.

Besides, if it is a blood relative, even if it is out of the fifth server, it is still an ancestor, so it really shouldn't be too unfamiliar.

Lin Ruhai figured it out, so he would take action naturally. He has a lot of money, and taking out some money is as simple as a drop in the bucket. In addition, he has been an official for many years, and his thoughts are more careful. Considering the situation of the Lin family, he has to go more. After a few steps, the Lin family has ethnology, so he repaired the houses and classrooms for the ethnology, and presented a pile of pens, ink, paper and inkstones and new books. Naturally, they were very happy. They all praised Lin Ruhai for being an official and being more active. He understood the hardships of their clansmen. Things, I really put my heart into it.Especially those clansmen who didn't know about the disputes among their ancestors, they used to think that Lin Ruhai was promising, and when he became a high-ranking official, he looked down on these unpromising clansmen, so he didn't get in touch with them more. The capital is inconvenient, or it's just that I didn't think about it for a while. Look, after I became an official in the south of the Yangtze River, didn't I get close to my tribe immediately after I settled down!

Then Lin Ruhai took advantage of offering sacrifices to the ancestors and added a thousand mu of land for sacrifice to the clan, and made an agreement with several clan elders in charge of clan affairs that half of the annual income would continue to increase the sacrifice land and half would be donated to the clan. Orphaned and widowed children, so that the lives of the clansmen can be better, and the children of the clan can have more opportunities to study.

People's hearts are fleshy, no matter how unfamiliar they were before, this Lin Ruhai showed his heart and thought of his clansmen everywhere, so these clansmen naturally gradually became close to him, and put aside all the unfamiliarity, unhappiness, and no longer Thinking about those who have or have not, the Lin clan seems to have become harmonious, and even during the New Year and holidays, they also communicate with each other and give gifts to each other.

It was not once or twice that Xue Pan went to Lin Ruhai's place for a short stay. Naturally, he had met the Lin family members, so the Lin family also knew that the Xue family in Jinling had a child, and Lin Ruhai valued it very much, like half of Lin Ruhai's disciple. !

With this relationship, Xue Pan can also have the confidence to tell Fushou that if something is wrong, he can ask the Lin family for help.

Fushou also followed him around all the year round, and knew Xue Pan's social network very well, so he naturally understood what his uncle meant, so he nodded immediately:

"Don't worry, grandpa. Fushou knows what to do. If he can solve it, he can solve it by himself. If it doesn't work, he can go to the Lin family. The matter will be settled."

Being able to let Xue Pan ask for help, Fushou felt Xue Pan's determination to take over the land even more. A good slave should do a good job for his master. Fushou has raised the importance of his own affairs to a higher level. .

"Well, that's good. By the way, about Zhen Fei, if you go to the place and inquire carefully, you always feel that it is not simple. Maybe what we know here is different from that there!"

Xue Pan lowered his head, pretending not to care, and added this sentence, but when he said this, no one knew, but he was more cautious in his heart than when he said such a long paragraph just now, this is what he really said. The purpose, he wanted to know, what happened to Zhen Fei!

"Hey, I see."

Seeing Fushou go out, Xue Pan sighed secretly, and the sound was so loud!I never imagined that I would have such a day, this scheming, and even the servants around me were ambiguous, this ancient young master is really tiring!
