After being exiled to Lingnan, Prime Minister Quan's family collapsed and his people were set u

Yuan Shou's face wrinkled, and he silently took three steps back away from Wu Yongwei, while holding the money bag on his body.

Wu Yongwei almost jumped up when he saw Yuan Shou's behavior.

Yuan Shou pursed his lips and spoke before he could speak, "Master, if you are not a householder, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Although you are rich, you can't spend it carelessly. Once you spend the money, it will be gone. You have to go home and ask your wife to get it." , do you want to go home and face the angry face of the family master?"

Wu Yongwei's words were immediately blocked when he reached his mouth, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart, "I don't want to face his stinky face!"

"So, Young Master, you have to save your money and don't spend it lavishly." Yuan Shou said seriously.

Wu Yongwei took a deep breath to calm himself. He had heard these words from Yuan Shou since he was a child, so he just pretended that he didn't hear them.

Yuan Shou can break a copper plate into two copper plate flowers.If his family had money, there was no need to be so picky, but he couldn't resist Yuan Shou's mouth.

Yuan Shou is so spoiled by him that he dares to talk back to him, huh.

Wu Yongwei looked away from Yuan Shou, put the piece of paper away, put it in his pocket like a treasure, and strode away.

Seeing that his young master had stopped talking, Yuan Shou smiled shyly and chased after him, "Master, you are angry."

"I'm not angry."

"You're just angry."

"Why am I just angry? Do you want to spend money on me?"

"No." Yuan Shou covered the money bag tightly and looked at Wu Yongwei warily.

Wu Yongwei was so angry that he laughed, "I'm going to be really angry if you do this again."

Yuan Shou bowed his head obediently, "I was wrong."

Wu Yongwei: "..."

He walked faster, "I don't know if the haunting thing that aunt said is true or false. I'm going to find someone to ask, in case something really happens and I won't be able to eat the delicious food made by Miss Zhou. "

Yuan Shou chased after him, "Who are you asking?"

Wu Yongwei said: "The steward here."

There are several houses on the periphery of this place, and the yamen responsible for managing prisoners live here.

Wu Yongwei walked over with a swagger.

A clerk saw two people walking straight towards this side, and was about to speak to chase them away. When he saw the clothes on their bodies, he squinted his eyes and took another look to make sure that he had seen correctly. When they came in front of them, , nodded and bowed, "I wonder where the two gentlemen are from?"

Wu Yongwei felt that the junior official looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. His eyes moved slightly and fell on the junior official's hand, and an idea flashed in his mind.

He remembered, wasn't this the person those two strong men wanted to bribe?It's just that he took the money and didn't help, he just patted his butt and left.

Wu Yongwei put his hands behind his back, acting like a dandy young master, "I want to see your manager and ask him to come out to see me. I'm very busy and I have to rush home."

Yuan Shou was not surprised by his young master's appearance and stood silently behind him without saying a word.

The clerk's back bent slightly and he said respectfully: "The steward is inside, I will take the two gentlemen in right now."

Wu Yongwei hummed lightly.

There was a trace of cold sweat on the clerk's forehead, but he did not dare to wipe it away, and respectfully led the way.

Guan Cunxin, the manager, handled a lot of official duties. When he was tired, he lay down on the recliner to rest, closing his eyes to rest. When he heard the sound of walking, he frowned and opened his eyes, his face full of displeasure at being disturbed.

Who would dare to disturb his rest?

Wu Yongwei looked down at Guan Cunxin and asked lightly: "Are you the manager here?"

Guan Cunxin saw that Wu Yongwei's clothes, the jade pendant around his waist, and even the hairpin on his head were all made of jade, exuding an aura of wealth from head to toe.

He comes from an ordinary family, and there are some people he cannot offend.

The displeasure on Guan Cunxin's face disappeared instantly, he stood up quickly, smiled and invited Wu Yongwei to sit down, "You two gentlemen, please take a seat."

Wu Yongwei didn't treat his temper badly. Hearing what Guan Cunxin said, he lifted up his skirt and sat down calmly.

Yuan Shou silently found a stool, moved it next to his young master, and sat down slowly.

Seeing that Wu Yongwei was silent, Guan Cunxin had to ask cautiously: "I wonder what Mr. Lang wants from me? I will definitely do whatever I can."

The rich kid who appears here probably has his relatives here.

Wu Yongwei did not follow his lead and said instead: "I heard that there is a house here that is haunted. Is it true?"

Guan Cunxin was stunned for a moment, not sure what Wu Yongwei was thinking, so he answered carefully, "There is indeed a rather evil house here, but it is definitely not haunted. How can there be ghosts in this world?"

Wu Yongwei nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Guan Cunxin continued: "Everyone who lived there before has passed away. No reason can be found. They probably died of fatigue."

Wu Yongwei frowned, "If he died of overwork, a doctor or a prisoner would be able to find out, right? But you said you can't find out the cause. Are you not trying to find out, or are you not trying hard enough?"

Guan Cunxin received Wu Yongwei's cold gaze and quietly touched the cold sweat on his forehead. He didn't know what the purpose of this ancestor was.
The life and death of these prisoners is not important, why do we need to specially invite doctors or widowers to come over?No money? ?

If you die, you will die. Anyway, the prisoners who died were of low origin and had no rich relatives.

But Guan Cunxin did not dare to answer like this, and said euphemistically: "Prisoners often die here, so we don't invite widowers to do autopsies. Asking widowers also requires money. I have to manage the food and drink of other prisoners. I don't have any extra money to hire widowers, otherwise other people will People are going to starve to death.”

Wu Yongwei understood, so this was not a haunting incident at all, but that the people who happened to live there were all dead, and then everyone spread the rumors.

Once something is spread to another person, its original meaning changes. What's more, it has been spread to so many people, and you don't know how outrageous it is.

He was relieved that it was not a terrorist incident.

Wu Yongwei nodded lightly, "I understand."

Guan Cunxin quietly looked at Wu Yongwei's expression.

The husband didn't know which family he was from, so he came specifically to ask about that house. Could it be that the people living in that house now were his relatives?
Guan Cunxin said uncertainly: "Do you know the family living there now, Mr. Lang?"

Wu Yongwei nodded and asked again: "Then why are there no homes around that house?"

Guan Cunxin sighed, "Those people thought it was an unlucky place and didn't want to live around it. If they weren't allowed to move out, they would often get together to make trouble. There were so many of them, and I was afraid of causing trouble, so I let them move out."

Then somehow the news of the haunting reached the ears of the people above, and he was specifically asked to arrange for the new prisoners to live there.

Guan Cunxin said cautiously: "Lang Jun, do you need to move your relatives to another place?" Wu Yongwei thought for a long time and shook his head, "No."

It's nice for the Zhou family to live there. There are no neighbors around, and they don't have to worry about conflicts with their neighbors.

He saw that they had planted a lot of vegetables in the yard, but he still didn't bother with it.

Wu Yongwei stood up slowly and gave Yuan Shou a look.

Yuan Shou subconsciously closed his money bag, and then thought that the steward had told his young master so much that it would be unreasonable not to give him some money. The steward might secretly take care of Zhou's family after receiving the money, so that Miss Zhou would not be too tired. He will have more energy to make delicious food for his young master.

So, he dug into his money bag and took out five copper coins, handed them to Guan Cunxin and smiled shyly, "This is what our young master thanks you for saying so much."

When Wu Yongwei saw another five copper coins, he simply couldn't see it, covered his face and turned around.

Guan Cunxin was stunned for a moment when he saw the five copper coins. The man who asked the question was dressed very richly, but he made such a move... Hey, he doesn't mind it, it's good to have money.

He happily took it and bowed slightly to thank, "Thank you, Mr. Lang."

Wu Yongwei patted his clothes and strode away.

When he came, he climbed over the wall, and when he left, he walked through the gate.

Guan Cunxin watched them leave, heaving a sigh of relief, calling for the clerk, and finally straightened his back, "I remember that the person who lives in the haunted house is named Zhou, and he is from the capital. No matter what mistakes they made, they will be arranged for him in the future." Their life is easier."

The clerk brought Wu Yongwei and the two to Guan Cunxin's place and then left without hearing their conversation. When he heard his boss's words, he was stunned for a moment and did not dare to ask more questions. How could he casually interfere with his boss's arrangements? ?

The clerk nodded respectfully, "Yes."

Guan Cunxin frowned, "When did those two gentlemen come in? I didn't hear any news at all?"

The clerk didn't know either, "I and others were patrolling this area, but we didn't see them. Maybe they came in over the wall."

Guan Cunxin waved his hand, "Go down."

The children of the big family are very capable, so it is not difficult to climb over the wall.

Wu Yongwei and Yuan Shou returned to the county town and came to the second floor of a teahouse. Wu Yongwei ordered a bunch of snacks, picked up a chicken drumstick, took one bite and put it down, "I used to think the snacks here are delicious, but since eating The food here has become tasteless since it was cooked by the girl."

Yuan Shou was sitting opposite Wu Yongwei. Seeing that he didn't want to eat, he picked up the chicken legs and ate them with gusto. "It's not as good as the delicious food made by Miss Zhou last week, but it's pretty good. I don't dislike it."

He was used to suffering when he was a child. He was often hungry, and the food he put in his mouth was rancid and smelly. He was often beaten. Later, when he came to the young master's side, his life gradually became better.

The young master didn't mind that he was a slave and asked him to read and learn martial arts.

The days are getting better and better, but he will never forget the hardships he had as a child and never dared to waste food.

Wu Yongwei was helpless, "I'll give you all the delicious food."

Yuan Shou smiled shyly and said, "The young master is just nice, so I won't be polite."

"By the way, you don't seem to have told the manager to take care of the Zhou family." Yuan Shou took a bite of the chicken leg and said vaguely.

Wu Yongwei smiled and said: "I went there and it was so obvious, do I need to say anything else?"

Yuan Shou: "What if the steward didn't notice it?"

Wu Yongwei: "If he can manage things well, he shouldn't be that stupid. He is trying to test whether the Zhou family are relatives of my family, both inside and outside his words. I nodded."

Yuan Shou said oh and ate the chicken leg seriously.

Seeing how much he was eating, Wu Yongwei kicked his shoes under the table and said, "Eat quickly, go buy ingredients after you finish eating, and then continue looking for Miss Zhou tomorrow."

Yuan Shou gnawed the chicken legs clean, leaving no meat at all. He put down the smooth bones and avoided Wu Yongwei's kick, "Master, you want to eat sweet and sour fish. The fish must be fresh to be delicious."

“So I’ll buy it before I leave tomorrow, and I’ll also buy other things before I leave, so I don’t have to make two trips.”

Wu Yongwei said, let him do whatever he wanted. He was not running errands anyway. He turned to look out the window and saw a restaurant opposite. He couldn't help but said: "It would be great if Miss Zhou also opened a restaurant, so that I can be there anytime, anywhere." Come and eat.”

The Zhou family didn't know what crime they had committed. They were locked up there and couldn't come out. Ms. Zhou couldn't cook all the time. It was a pity when she thought about it.

Yuan Shou smiled and said, "If Miss Zhou opens a restaurant, she will definitely be able to make a lot of money with her cooking skills."

Wu Yongwei was funny, "You only have money in your eyes, right?"

"No." Yuan Shou shook his head, looked at Wu Yongwei and said seriously, "I only have young master in my eyes."

Wu Yongwei was disgusted and said, "Shut up, don't say such slimy words. People who don't know will think we have some improper relationship if they hear it."

Yuan Shou was confused, "What kind of improper relationship?"

Wu Yongwei held his forehead, Yuan Shou was a relatively simple child, he had better not lead him astray, he looked away and looked out the window, "It's nothing."

……

The Zhou family had enough to eat and drink, and felt their stomachs were no longer full, so they continued to practice martial arts.

Zhou Mingyi carried a pile of bamboo over and continued to weave a fence.

Zhou Shimu was helping from the side, "Brother, how do you feel about learning crafts from Master Zeng?"

Zhou Mingyi smiled and said: "It seems complicated, but actually it's quite simple after you learn it, just like that backpack. When I was learning it, I thought it was very complicated and difficult to learn. I learned it after two days of serious study."

"Brother is extremely talented." Zhou Shitang was walking on horseback. Hearing their conversation, he couldn't help but praise.

Zhou Mingyi smiled modestly and said, "Tangtang is exaggerating."

Recently, he went to Zeng's house every day to learn crafts from Master Zeng. After he finished learning, he would cut bamboo and then come over to weave a fence. The fence was not difficult to weave.

After the bamboo was used up, half of the yard was still without a fence. Seeing that it was not dark yet, Zhou Mingyi picked up the hatchet and continued to chop bamboo.

Zhou Shimu put on his backpack and took the hatchet at home, "Brother, I'll go with you."

How can the eldest brother do things at home alone?

The two came to the bamboo forest and started chopping bamboo. They chopped a bunch of bamboo and chopped enough to be able to carry it. Then they found rattan and tied it up.

Chu Xiaorong was passing by here carrying a basket on her back. She saw a familiar figure from behind. After thinking for a long time, she walked over and showed a sweet smile, "Brother Zhou, what a coincidence, you are here too."

Zhou Mingyi turned around and saw that it was Chu Xiaorong, and smiled, "Well, it's quite a coincidence."

Chu Xiaorong often went to Zeng's house to play with her good sister Zeng Shuangyan. One day, she didn't see Zhou Mingyi at Zeng's house. Instead, she saw a stranger. She was confused for a moment, and then chatted and realized that the stranger in front of her was Brother Zhou. , you will become familiar with it after a few visits.
