Pei Mansion
As you get closer, you will see an archway standing. This is the Jieyuan Archway. Anyone who gets close will see that there is "Pei Mansion" on the gate and a gold plaque with "Jieyuan" inside.
This memorial arch and plaque represent the honor of the owner and even the family. When outsiders see it, they will praise it and know that this family is from a scholarly family and has at least one successful candidate. The most important thing is that the county officials will automatically be three points lower when they see it.
After entering the gate, there is a hall and front rooms on the left and right. A cluster of green bamboos is planted in the middle of the corridor. After passing the front yard and entering the backyard, there is a small garden and a small building.
The corridor is made of wood and is half a foot off the ground. Except for the corridor, the walkways are all paved with bluestone slabs, so there will be no mud even if it rains.
Several maids and servants came out to welcome him, headed by Bai Sanchu.
"She's already feeling a little bit angry." Pei Ziyun thought to himself, "Mom is actually the most comfortable here, but unfortunately, it's not safe."
Glancing at Mrs. Pei Qian, she was holding Liao Yeqing and talking to Yu Yunjun. They were talking and laughing.
After sitting inside, Bai Ya came forward to serve tea, and He Qingqing and the old woman also followed.
Pei Ziyun sat on the pier and drank tea, took a breath, and said to He Qingqing: "You guys are staying here for the time being. I have sent someone to summon Chen, and he will be here soon."
"I have already had an idea these days, and you already have a guide. It is not difficult to apply for household registration, right?" This was said to a petty official.
The clerk quickly responded: "It's not difficult. The county magistrate has ordered that all the young master's affairs be handled specially."
Pei Ziyun nodded with satisfaction: "After settling the household registration, there will be fields below. I originally owned 500 acres in Xiaodong River. Unfortunately, there are already tenants and I can't give it to you."
"But I can buy it for you. You have about twenty-five households. I am going to buy fifteen acres for each household, and fifty acres for Qingqing. Each household will buy cattle."
"I will ask Mr. Chen to build a street nearby the house, close to Pei Temple."
"You can all settle here. Also, this is a thousand taels of silver notes. You can buy your own furniture and daily necessities." Pei Ziyun said.
The girl didn't show any pretense, she stepped forward to take the banknote and said respectfully, "Thank you, sir!"
Pei Qian was a little worried when she saw Pei Ziyun coming back with so many people, but now she lost her thoughts and had a smile on her face.
Now is the time of peace and prosperity. Pei Ziyun is following people, which does not worry Pei Qian. At this time, he is waiting quietly to one side, waiting for Pei Ziyun to finish speaking.
Pei Ziyun made arrangements and came over at this time. Pei Qian smiled and said: "You have settled down now. You want to take your mother and me to the city to enjoy the blessings. It is really filial to you. But I have lived in the countryside for many years and I am a little reluctant to leave. "
"Mother, the world has not been at peace for long, and there is still some instability. It is best to go to the city." Pei Ziyun: "You and the master go to the city first, and I will finish the matter here."
"Sanchu Bai will follow."
"Brother, brother, give me a hug." Liao Qingye stretched out his little hand in Pei Qian's arms.
"Okay, brother, hug me." Pei Ziyun took Xiao Qingye and saved Xiao Qingye from himself, and the relationship between the two became closer.
"It's getting late, let's go!" Yu Yunjun looked at the sky and said.
Mrs. Pei Qian was not confused. There must be danger for her son to make such a grand suggestion. She was not a woman who would cause trouble to her son by shouting that nothing was wrong, so she sighed and stood up.
The bullock cart was ready. Pei Qian followed Mr. Yu Yun into the cart, and Pei Ziyun escorted him personally. It was getting late, the sky was getting cloudy, and drizzle was falling in the dusk. A Taoist man in coarse cloth looked at him in the distance, behind him Someone asked: "Master Shi, this man has left, what should we do?"
Under the shade of the tree, Shi Muzhong said bitterly: "I wanted to tie up this old woman, but I didn't want to be so vigilant. This plan is no longer feasible. These villagers are just clinging, and there is no use in killing them. It's really hateful."
There was a cool breeze, the rain was blurry, and the mist shrouded the countryside. Shi Muzhong frowned for a long time and sighed: "Let's go back first, and then think of some solutions."
"Boss Chen, your business has been getting bigger and bigger recently." A few days later in the afternoon, a passerby said as Mr. Chen was walking hurriedly on the river.
"Thank you, I'm just making a little money." Mr. Chen said with a smile.
"Boss Chen, you have boarded the big ship. Now Pei Jieyuan's poems are heard all over the world, and even the emperor has listened to them. The autographs of Mr. Jie Yuangong are worth more than one word and one piece of gold. Not to mention that in recent days, Mr. Jie Yuangong has written I asked you to run an errand, I must have made a lot of money this time."
"It's all taken care of by the young master and rewarded by the young master. I'm not corrupt, so don't talk nonsense." Mr. Chen glared coldly.
This man originally wanted to say something more, but when he saw the anger in Mr. Chen's eyes, he remembered that Mr. Chen was no longer a hawker, but now a small landowner. His family owned fifteen acres of fertile land, and he also had shares in a shop in the county, so he didn't say anything. .
Officer Chen held up his umbrella and headed towards Woniu Village.
The rain was pouring, and Pei Ziyun was taking a pen to practice calligraphy in the room.
Although several days had passed, Pei Qian's worries when he left seemed to still be before his eyes. Liao Qingye was also a little reluctant to leave, but he followed his master to the state capital.
Land, houses, customs, relationships, and government affairs all had to be handled by oneself. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door: "Sir, Mr. Chen has arrived."
"Bring in." Pei Ziyun ordered.
After taking a deep breath, he put down his brush and walked to the window. The rain outside the window made a crackling sound on the leaves.
"Are you okay?" The rain was getting heavier. Pei Ziyun thought to himself that the letter and Hongdou he wrote at the dock have been entrusted to the master. Ye Suer, how are you doing there at this time? Is anyone bullying you? Have you lost weight or gained weight
When Mr. Chen entered the house, he saw Pei Ziyun standing at the window looking at the rain, so he stepped forward happily and said, "Sir, you are back. Everything you asked for has been done."
"Tell me, have you encountered any difficulties?" Pei Ziyun asked.
"Sir, are there any difficulties? Last time you went to Kyoto, you were received by His Majesty the Emperor and he was very pleased with it. Now it has been spread that you will buy another 500 acres. Although there are some minor problems, it is not a big deal."
"Well, you're good. This silver is for you." Pei Ziyun threw an ingot of ten taels of silver over.
"Thank you for the reward, Mr. Chen." Mr. Chen said with joy, "Sir, not only that, but now your reputation is spreading in every state. Your university annotations are now selling very fast. Each word you handwritten has been worth gold. If you don’t have any money with you in the future, you can write a few sales.”
"I'll go out and take a look." Pei Ziyun nodded: "You write a note for me here."
Officer Chen was surprised and responded naturally: "Yes, sir."
Pei Ziyun put on his raincoat and left.
"Master, I came to Yingzhou with my young master. This land is really fertile. I just went to see it. One acre is more than double the land in our village." The old woman was smiling at this time, holding an umbrella, and was following He Qingqing looked at it.
"I also went to see it. The land here is much better than the place where the village is located. The land has been divided, and by the grace of the young master, it is owned by each family. They are not tenants. The cattle are also given to us. We will be able to live a better life next year. Good days." He Qingqing said while looking at the cattle.
While the two were talking, suddenly a villager came over and said, "Master of the village, the young master is here."
He Qingqing was delighted when he heard this: "Master is here? Let's meet together."
Along the way, the villagers saluted one after another. Pei Ziyun had a smile on his face. When He Qingqing saw Pei Ziyun, he saluted: "Young Master."
Pei Ziyun smiled: "Are you still getting used to it?"
"Young Master... Young Master, we are very adaptable here. You see, the fields have been allocated to each household." The old woman pointed and said: "I have bought all the cattle, one for each household!"
"Now everyone is helping the craftsmen to repair the house, and everyone likes it very much. Young Master, I will still live for fifteen years." The old woman pointed at the young girl and said: "Our generation and the next generation have withered, but Now, the next generation will surely reproduce, and I have to help you train them."
Pei Ziyun nodded, and then turned around and went to the clan temple. He went up the stone steps and went in. Every time, he felt that the inside and outside were completely different, a little empty and dark. Pei Ziyun stood still in front of the divine case, silently bowed to the spiritual tablet three times, and picked up the incense before he calmed down. Watching the smoke quietly, thoughtfully.
"Now that Xie Chengdong has taken action to kill himself, it shows that this person has vigilance and calculation behind his back."
"Xie Chengdong, although this is beyond my expectation, since you have been exposed, I will naturally fight back in advance. In the memory of the original owner, you are amazing."
"There are all your chess pieces in the world, so we can respond to everything at once and benefit from the changes in dragon energy."
"These chess pieces make me think about memory."
Pei Ziyun paced: "Shi Muzhong is really hateful, but his whereabouts are mysterious. I borrowed the Songyun Sect's network, but I couldn't find out his whereabouts. It seems that he is lurking in Xie Chengdong's secret chess game."
"Songyun Sect is just a Taoist sect after all. The intelligence network is really not that strong. In other words, unless it is the government, no one is that strong."
"It's very troublesome to find Shi Muzhong, and Xie Chengdong's secret chess is a top secret now, but in the future it will be a glorious deed, spread everywhere, similar to an underground party."
"This gave me an opportunity, but although Xie Chengdong's chess pieces were exposed a lot in the future, the original owner only remembered the names of three states because he was imprisoned."
"Yingzhou, Yongzhou, Liangzhou! Before the rest were exposed, the original owner was imprisoned."
"I am in Yingzhou, so let's start from Yingzhou. Meng Luogong, that's the name. Although Songyunmen's intelligence network is not strong, it is not difficult to investigate with the name."
"Also, although Xie Chengdong has become stronger and stronger over the years, how can he not have any enemies? He knows just a few of them, or he should join forces in advance."
"Enemies of enemies, even if they cannot be friends, can still form temporary alliances."
Pei Ziyun sneered, the villagers themselves had made arrangements, and now his mother was protected by his master, so he had no worries at this time.
"We can eradicate Xie Chengdong's gangsters one by one and weaken his strength."
Thinking about it, there was a thunder in the sky: "Boom"
The system reacted instantly, and a line of red text appeared: "Mission: Eradicate Xie Chengdong's influence in Yingzhou."
The light in the clan temple was very dark, there was only one ever-burning lamp, which was emitting a green light, which was a bit eerie. Pei Ziyun was pacing, unable to see his expression clearly, but just smiled: "Sure enough, this kind of task is possible."
"You also want revenge?"
