Being the leader of a guild hall is just like an errand. If you want to take on this errand, you have to spend money on it!

Shopkeeper Chu, Shopkeeper Yu and other merchants were surprised to find that the cost of befriending the official was not much, but when they thought that this job could be passed on to future generations, they found that it was worth spending a little money.

Wen Youyu remembered another incident. When Fei Erye, Liu Shanyang and Bao Juren of Rongchang County set out to return home, the officials in Beijing, including Qian Junchen, and their merchants all sent process rituals, some with more than five taels, some with less.

Two taels, but Han Xiufeng actually gave Master Fei a hundred taels that day!

Mr. Fei Erye was shocked and said that he would not receive any reward for his efforts, and he refused to accept it.

Han Xiufeng said that Mr. Fei had been in Beijing for so many years, and this time he returned home in fine clothes, so he had to bring more money with him. In fact, everyone knew in his heart that he was worried that if Mr. Fei didn't bring more money, he would be despised by his hometown after returning.

It was a joke. Seeing that Mr. Fei still refused to accept it, he said that the one hundred taels should be regarded as the purchase of the Chongqing guild hall with Mr. Fei. Ji Hanlin, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Wang were all here, and they all said that the one hundred taels

Mr. Fei Er should accept the money!

Thinking of this, Wen Youyu suddenly realized that they had laid an ambush in front of him. The job of the head of the Chongqing Guild Hall was to be done openly, and the money had to be paid with integrity. Even if Mr. Ji, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Wang knew about it, they would not say anything.

Perhaps in other people's eyes, this is what Han Xiufeng deserves.

You still have to pay 100 taels if you buy the short end, because this is how Han Xiufeng calculated it with Mr. Fei before.

Wen Youyu thought that one hundred taels would be just one hundred taels. If he didn't want to make it in the future, he would sell it to someone else who wanted to do it for a hundred taels. He was afraid that Pan Er would misunderstand that he was unwilling to pay the money, so he quickly said: "Brother Pan, these are our rules."

Understand, how about one hundred taels for our family?"

Pan Er had already concluded that he would give it to him, and then thinking about the benefits he could get from renovating the guild hall, he couldn't help but smile: "Shopkeeper Wen is indeed a cheerful person, one hundred taels is just right, and my young master won't want more!"

Shopkeeper Chu always thought that the leader of the guild hall had been targeted by the Wen family. He always thought that it was not his turn. How could he miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? He was even more worried about the long nights and dreams, so he said eagerly: "Brother Pan, I came out in a hurry today.

I don’t have much money with me. How about I go back and get it and send it to you later.”

"Shopkeeper Chu, there's no need to be in such a hurry."

"I don't have anything to do this afternoon. I'll go back and get it first. You wait for me."

Shopkeeper Chu was in a hurry to do this and go back to get the money. Wen Youyu and others didn't want Han Xiufeng to think that they didn't understand the rules, so they hurriedly left and went back to buy the money that was missing.

Watching them go, Pan Er looked at Datou, who was still giggling, and said, "Did you see that? It's like being reluctant to let go of the child to trap the wolf! If the fourth brother didn't give him a hundred taels when Master Fei left, how can we talk to them today?

Are you talking about this? Hahaha, I spent one hundred taels and earned seven hundred taels back. Not only did I earn money, I also earned a good reputation!"

Datou asked stupidly: "What's a good reputation?"

"You have a good reputation for respecting the elderly! Think about it, Mr. Fei is so old and has been away from home for so long. The house at home may have collapsed long ago. How will he live in the future if he doesn't bring some money back? The fourth brother came to him in the nick of time and gave it to him.

The old man received a hundred taels, and not only was he grateful, but Master Ji, Master Jiang, Master Wang, Liu Juren, and Bao Juren all felt that the fourth brother was upright and open-minded in his work."

Looking at Datou's half-understood look, Pan Er sighed again: "Actually, being an official is the same as being a human being. It's easy to say, but not so easy to do. I really need to learn more in the future."

"I don't know whether to work or be a human being. I only know that I will do whatever my fourth brother asks me to do." Datou was not interested in these things. He heard Han Xiufeng say that he was back home in the morning and suddenly felt homesick. He actually pulled him and asked: "Two

Brother, fourth brother said that your father sent you a message, what did you say when you believed it?"

Before, Pan Er would have been too lazy to tell Datou this.

But now it is no better than before. I really miss home when I am in a foreign country. I am willing to share things about my hometown with Datou. He looked at Datou with a smile and said: "My dad said everything is fine at home, but my two children are so naughty that they climbed up on the incense burner during the Chinese New Year."

I overturned the incense burner and candlesticks while playing. The business on the counter was okay, but the tax was higher than before. But everyone rides a horse, and it’s not just me who shares the same interests and is one family."

"What else did you say?" Datou asked eagerly.

"My sister-in-law is pregnant with my fourth brother's baby. She is already six or seven months pregnant and will give birth in more than two months. My brother just received a longevity lock two years ago. My father plans to use it as a gift.

."

"I know this. Fourth brother told me this morning." Datou grinned and asked curiously: "Second brother, did your father talk about what happened on the dock, did he mention sixth brother, and did he mention eighth master?"

"My family is on the run, and my father rarely goes into the city. How would he know about your Sichuan gang?"

Everyone else believed it, but Datou didn't. Datou felt a little unhappy and didn't dare to mention it to Han Xiufeng in the morning. Now he couldn't bear it anymore and asked pitifully: "Second brother, have you received it from your father?"

Do you want to reply to your father’s letter?”

"If I want to return it, I'll go back and write it at night. Once I've finished it, please ask my fourth brother to help me send it back."

"Can you write a few sentences for me and ask your father to help me tell Brother Six and Uncle, telling them that I am doing well in the capital, eating well and wearing good clothes, so that they don't worry."

"Okay, I'll write it down for you and ask my father to help you talk to them when he has time."

………

Han Xiufeng smelled great fragrance. After making his wish, it was already evening when he returned to the newly rented yard.

As soon as he entered the door, he was pulled into the room by Pan Er, who was counting the banknotes sent by Wen Youyu and other merchants. Zhou Yuanxing, who had been invisible these days, came back and asked at the door if he was there.

"Brother Zhou, why did you come back just now? Did you have a midnight snack?"

"I've eaten. I came back after eating." Zhou Xingyuan looked back at the carriage parked at the entrance of the courtyard, looked at him with a smile and said, "Brother Han, all the feasts in the world come to an end. I have been bothering you for so long and it's time for me to leave."

"Where are you going?" Han Xiufeng realized that he had changed into a flashy outfit and subconsciously asked, "Brother Zhou, is your brother here?"

When Zhou Xingyuan came out of the prison of the Criminal Department, he was empty-handed. He had nothing to do now, so he stood in the yard and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of Brother Han's jokes. My brother came here a few days ago. It's just that he is timid and a little afraid of you.

I live at my friend’s house and have never dared to come here.”

"Afraid of me, Brother Zhou, where do you start talking about this!" Han Xiufeng was dumbfounded.

"He was once bitten by a snake and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. This metaphor is inappropriate, so I won't talk about it anymore." Looking back on the past, Zhou Xingyuan didn't want to mention it anymore, and then he handed it over and said: "Brother Han, I was planning to donate an official to him.

I was looking for a job, but the plan turned out to be unfavorable. One of my colleagues in the same year had some friendship with Mr. Lu Jianying, the governor of Liangjiang. Mr. Lu happened to be short of a letter, so he recommended me to work for Mr. Lu. I will leave for Jiangning early tomorrow morning.

Farewell, we are destined to meet again."

"I'm leaving early tomorrow, it's so urgent!"

"Master Lu is hiring people, so Zhou dare not keep Master Lu waiting."
