Gu Jingyun waited for them to get excited before he said flatly: "It is said that all returnees, no matter how high or low, will be treated at a lower level than yours, and each family will have a quota for admission to Congliang, but the admission will be from the academy in Beijing. Downgraded to a local academy. If you are interested, you will come to my place within three days to come to order, and after these three days, no matter who comes, I don’t need it.”

"Yes." Qin Bin and Mo Wang kowtowed in response.

Gu Jingyun calmed down and said, "You have been living in the Qin family village? Come and tell me about the Qin family these years, and how much do you know about the industry you managed before?"

The five generations of the descendant branch are single-passed, which means that their family's property has not been divided in the five generations, and I don't know if it is because of the short lifespan. The children of the descendant branch are precocious and intelligent, and each generation will add to the family business. When the dowry of Qin's mistress was passed down to Qin Xinfang in each generation, this property could already be compared with the property of the whole family of the first generation.

You must know that the aristocratic family is divided into many branches, and some aristocratic families have been divided from generation to generation because of the prosperity of their children. In fact, life is not as easy as imagined.

Qin Xinfang's properties were copied not only in Runing, Kaifeng, but also in Jiangnan, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places. Nearly half of them were redeemed by the Qin family with public property, and the other half were rented out by the imperial court.

With so many industries that were copied back then, people are scattered and separated. Gu Jingyun now spends a lot of time and effort in sorting out these industries, and there will be many people who need them.

And he is a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, so it is impossible to handle these common affairs in Runing all the time. The fastest and most suitable way is to hand them over to the family, and the family will send people to manage them, and then gradually replace the original managers in the future.

But with so many industries, I am afraid that they will not be organized in ten or eight years, so although they returned the land deeds and house deeds, they still think that they can win management positions.

Of course, with Qin Xinfang around, they dare not treat the farm and shop as their own anymore, but it is still possible to reap some benefits within the tolerance of the direct branch.

Although they are a famous family, their life is not easy. Qin Xinfang's fingers are enough for them to chew.

So they didn't want Gu Jingyun to see the servants of the former direct branch and the relatives who worked in the direct branch. In other places, Qin's words may not be very effective, but in Runing, the patriarch and elders of the Qin family spoke, Who would dare to let these people meet Gu Jingyun?

Moreover, they blocked the road so that Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu could not see anything unusual.

Who would doubt that the old lady basking in the sun on the stones by the roadside is the one who guards the road? Who would have thought that those children running around the streets with candied haws are the eyes and ears of adults?

The people in Qin Family Village were divided into three factions. One group, headed by Mo Wang and Qin Bin, wanted to see Gu Jingyun's loyalty and return to the Qin family.

One faction is chasing and intercepting these people, and will never let these people take a step forward, while the third faction is that it has nothing to do with themselves. Just watch the fun.

Most of the people in the first faction lived at the bottom of the Qin family village, and were born as servants, or relatives whose families were so poor that they had to go to the subordinates to beg for a living.

But the conditions of the second faction are much better. They are generally people from the first six households, and most of the properties of the direct branch are distributed to them.

But it’s not that they are poor, they can’t beat them, poor or poor, the most important thing is that they infiltrate every corner of Qin’s Village, as long as they think, every household in the first six houses can find someone related to them, even if they were originally It doesn't matter, as long as the money given is enough, it will matter.

What they did was not a matter of selling the clan. Even if the clan leader found out, he would lose his job at worst. Would he still dare to beat people and kill people?

We are all from the same family!

Qin Bin is very upright and confident, don't forget that it will be more dangerous. He was originally a servant of the world. After being released by Qin Xinfang, he stayed in Qinjia Village directly, living on a few acres of fertile land and the settling allowance given by Qin Xinfang. The patriarch of the Qin clan has no confidence at all.

So Gu Jingyun and the two of them discussed the action plan for the next five days and asked Qin Bin to step down, but left Mo Wang behind and said indifferently: "You stay here tonight, and I will go see the patriarch and his wife tomorrow with me." Go to the city and see if anyone has gone to the inn."

When he entered Runing, he asked Zhao Ning to speak out. He, Gu Jingyun, came back on behalf of Qin Xinfang. He would find old friends, relatives, friends and old servants who came to Qin Family Village. Those who could not come to Qin Family Village. Most of them will go to the inn to find someone.

And Zhao Ning didn't know anything about the Qin family's affairs, and he didn't intend to drag this apprentice into trouble, it's better to let Baolu go back to deal with it.

Baolu has no objection to this, "There is no news from Yuan Shanting and Su Anjian, I guess they must still be living in the inn to trick me, since they are so determined and unwilling to leave, then we can't just leave them alone forever , they somehow saved our lives."

"So are you going to betray Master?"

"I have already sent a letter to ask the master. I think there are only two possibilities for it not coming back at the speed of the pigeon. One is that it was beaten and eaten by someone on the road, and the other is that it was eaten by the master."

"Well, the second possibility is more likely."

"So in order to get revenge on Master, I decided to betray him."

Gu Jingyun glanced at her lightly and asked, "What address do you want to tell them?"

It definitely can't be the capital, because there are uncles, aunts, mothers and Niu Niu, they are powerless, what if people from the rivers and lakes come to the door to accidentally injure them?

"What do you think of Shuzhong?" Li Baolu said seriously: "That is the headquarters of our Lingtianmen. People in the Jianghu only know that Lingtianmen is in Shuzhong, but they don't know where it is. What do you think the address I gave to Shimen is For Yuan Shanting and Su Anjian, is this sincerity enough to repay their life-saving grace?"

Gu Jingyun frowned, "Aren't you afraid that your ancestors will come out of the ground and beat you up?"

"No," Li Baolu said confidently, "Master said that none of the patriarchs died at Lingtianmen and were buried at Lingtianmen, which is said to be the headquarters of Lingtianmen, but in fact there is only one house and a bunch of memorial tablets. If I use this to repay the grace of saving my life, my ancestors will definitely praise me for doing a good job when they know about it."

"Aren't you afraid that Master will really go to Sichuan?"

Li Baolu waved his hand indifferently, "Master and other old people don't pay attention to me, maybe how to play in the city, how can I go to a place where birds don't shit?"

Bai Yitang, who had just heard about his apprentice in Kaifeng Mansion, sneezed, he frowned, and said to himself: "It must be that damn girl who misses me, you still have a conscience, wait for another two days, master." You can go to Runing now, and then I can take you to meet our ancestors of the Lingtianmen..."

He caught a glimpse of the two men lifting the box from the car with rough hands and feet, immediately raised his eyebrows, and shouted: "Take it easy, take it easy, how many times have I told you, there are treasures here!"

The two guards who were sent to protect and do odd jobs rolled their eyes together, "Hero Bai, here is a book, packed in a box, not to mention that we are carrying it smoothly, even if it hits the ground with a slap, it will be fine." It can't be broken."

"Then it is also a treasure. Do you know how many people are thinking about the things in it? Everyone in the world wants to snatch it!"

That's because they don't know it!

The two guards slandered, but their movements were much lighter, and they moved the box to the inn.

Standing on the steps of the inn, Bai Yitang smacked his hands contentedly, his hands empty, and then remembered that his beard had been shaved off as early as the second year of his apprenticeship. The little beggar in the alley waved.

The little beggar's eyes lit up, and he ran over with a broken bowl, bowed and said, "My lord, what are your orders?"

"I heard that there is a Zhengjiabao in your Kaifeng mansion, where Mr. Zheng will have a ten-day banquet for his birthday?"

"Is the nobleman here to attend the birthday banquet? Then you are late, and the birthday banquet is over early."

Bai Yitang threw him a piece of silver, and indifferently patted a passing guard on the shoulder. The guard endured it, and finally turned around and rushed into the inn. Not a moment later, he came out with a chair, slammed "Slap" on the ground.

Bai Yitang lifted up his robe and sat down without paying attention at all, and put his left foot on his right leg, and said to the little beggar with a smile, "Have you eaten at the ten-day flowing water mat?"

The little beggar took a bite of the piece of broken silver, nodded happily and said: "Eat it, the poor people in Kaifeng Mansion all went to eat it."

He rubbed his stomach and smiled contentedly: "That was the best ten days I ate in the past few years. Since noon, the two long tables have been serving big white steamed buns and cabbage stew. My brothers and I They all ate until their stomachs swelled."

The little beggar is the best at observing words and expressions, and when he saw Bai Yitang happy, he knew that he liked to hear this, so he said even harder: "Everyone who can come from the nearby ten miles and eight towns will come with a bowl, don't you know that? It was so lively in Zhengjiabao in ten days. It is said that the pigs in Kaifeng mansion with a radius of 50 miles were all wrapped up by them. In the end, it was not enough. Fortunately, a businessman was clever and went to another county to collect the pigs. This made Mr. Zheng The birthday banquet ended successfully."

Bai Yitang patted his legs happily, "Then Zheng Jiabao has suffered a lot?"

"No, although the Zheng family has a rule that they can only eat and not take away, but there are only a few guards, and there are so many people, how can we understand that everyone is trying to hide on their bodies."

The little beggar smiled shyly, "We little beggars can't hide things in thin clothes, so we hide them in the crotch, and put a few cloth bags in the trouser legs, and hide big white steamed buns in them when people are not paying attention, and put them on when we leave. Tsukuru ate too much and his stomach was full, the servants couldn't find it at all."

Bai Yitang was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing, patted his thigh and said, "Not bad, not bad, has a future. Then have you finished eating your big white steamed buns?"

The little beggar lowered his voice and said, "No, we put ice on it. The weather like this is not easy to break, at least enough for us to eat for a month. We are young, so we get less, and some people get more. So Mr. Zheng lost his life this time, I heard that he vomited blood and fell into a coma."

Bai Yitang was even happier, knowing that the enemy was not doing well, he felt relieved.
