Others have speculated how he convinced the county magistrate of Cao. Of course, Xiao Fan could not say it explicitly. Some words were a little deeper, and it would inevitably involve the King of Yan’s battle for the throne. This topic was too sensitive and deadly, and it would not be possible to touch it slightly. Zhu Yuanzhang is still alive now, and King of Yan Zhu Di dared not show any reversal. As for why he changed Cao Yi, a hundred households in the army, into a civil servant, and was also embedded in Jiangpu County, dozens of miles from Yingtian Prefecture, the capital, to be a small eighth-rank county magistrate...

Well, Xiao Fan can pretend that he doesn't know anything.

He is just a grassroots commoner. Even if he knows some things, he will never say, as they will be fatal.

After traveling through time, Xiao Fan gradually discovered that the advantages of time travelers were not very obvious. Even if he had some ability to predict the future, as a grassroots commoner, he was not qualified to play this game between big people.

Let’s be an audience. Xiao Fan is planning beautifully. Maybe he is a little unmotivated, but this attitude is the safest.

Xiao Fan is willing to be an unknown little person. At least at this stage, he has not had any excessive thoughts.

Zhu Yuanzhang, King of Yan, and the imperial court, these are still very far and unfamiliar terms for him. He is just a mortal, and in the most inconspicuous corner of the world, he silently watches the clouds rolling in the sky.

Xiao Fan could pretend that he did not know Zhu Di's intention to put Cao Yi in Jiangpu County, but Chen Siliu could not pretend that he did not know that Xiao Fan saved the Chen family. As the head of the family, he was the head of a merchant family who aimed at making money. If others owed Chen Siliu's debt, Chen Siliu would be so worried that he could not sleep. Similarly, if Chen Siliu owed others a great kindness, he would still be so worried that he could not sleep.

Businessmen believe in "no profit, no early rise", and high risks mean high returns, but if others pay Chen Siliu in advance, Chen Siliu would be even more frightened. - How high risks do you have to pay to be worthy of such high returns?

The Chen family's crisis has been resolved for three days, and Chen Siliu has also suffered from insomnia for three days. When he got up early and looked in the mirror, Chen Siliu was depressed and found that he had lost weight. His plump figure, which was as rich as a ball, had silently faded.

This is simply a tragedy.

The kindness of saving lives should be repaid with the springs. That's right, but Chen Siliu always thought that this was too exaggerated. The springs were poured over to Xiao Fan, so what else was left? It would be better to be destroyed by the county magistrate Cao.

But it won't work. As a shrewd businessman, although Xiao Fan used any method to convince the county magistrate Cao to let the Chen family go, Chen Siliu felt that the new county magistrate might have a good impression of Xiao Fan. If Xiao Fan had a bad impression, he would definitely not be able to convince him. Xiao Fan saved the Chen family. If he had no expression to him, it would be heard by Cao County magistrate Cao, would the Chen family have good fruits?

So, the problem revolves around. - What kind of reward should Xiao Fan be given? This degree is not easy to grasp.

Marry your daughter to him?——Think about it.

He is a share of his property? - This... If he doesn't mention it, he will pretend not to know it. It is better for young people to be more motivated and cannot enjoy the success.

Give him more money per month? - This is OK.

Chen Siliu looked at himself, who was haggard in the glass, and finally gritted his teeth.

"The person who comes, call Xiao...the son-in-law comes to the front hall to see me."

When Xiao Fan walked into the front hall with a calm expression, Chen Siliu had already returned to his usual honest and smiling appearance. His fat body was squeezed and deformed by the mahogany armrests of the Grand Master's chair, round after round, like the Goodyear tire in the advertisement.

Chen Siliu was squinting his eyes and admiring a calligraphy and painting, shaking his head from time to time, as if he was deeply trapped in the artistic conception of calligraphy and painting.

Xiao Fan frowned. He hated Chen Siliu's appearance very much.

Because he happened to know that Chen Siliu was actually illiterate and could not recognize any other words except the numbers in the account book.

It’s a bit disgusting to illiterately show off this artful look.

Chen Siliu suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had just seen Xiao Fan come in, so he waved with a smile: "Xian... Son-in-law, come and see, haha, I just bought a decorative work of my ancestors from Mo Linxuan. This is the heirloom of the Chen family. As a descendant of the Chen family, how can I let it go to the hands of outsiders? The blessing of my ancestors, I finally bought it... Grandma's! I spent 100 taels of silver and didn't get a discount at all. Mo Linxuan's Lao Zhou is really a bad-hearted bastard..."

The last sentence fully exposed Chen Siliu's businessman nature.

However, Chen Siliu's spirit of filial piety is a model for the Son of Man.

Xiao Fan couldn't help but feel awe-in-law: "I wonder which Gao Xian, the ancestor of my father-in-law, is it?"

Chen Siliu's eyes showed a smug light, and then pretended to be surprised and said, "You don't know the ancestors of my Chen family? A virtuous son-in-law, we will soon be a family. Those who are sons cannot count the sons of the Duan Wangzong. Remember, the ancestors of the Chen family were Chen Zi'ang from the early Tang Dynasty, and were known as Mr. Shiyi. Haha, virtuous son-in-law, my Chen family is also considered a descendant of a famous family..."

Xiao Fan was shocked: "Chen Zi'ang is Ling's ancestor? Really? Ah! This has been a long time since I admired it... It is a supreme honor for the son-in-law of the Chen family. I wonder if my father-in-law can borrow the family tree to pay homage to him? Which generation of ancestors of your ancestors is Chen Zi'ang?"

"This..." Chen Siliu's fat face suffocated, and then a hint of embarrassment quickly appeared: "Hehe... I forgot where to put the genealogy... Anyway, he is my ancestor! Let's take a look at the original works of our ancestors first..."

Xiao Fan immediately showed an enlightened expression.

I understand, my father-in-law is recognizing his ancestors by the Chen family. This behavior is equivalent to sticking a gild on his face. It is quite similar to the Goryeo Rod in his previous life, and it is as shameless as the Goryeo Rod in his previous life.

However, Xiao Fan could understand Chen Siliu's psychology. When people have money, they will have many high-level ideas. It is normal to find a celebrity to be their ancestor. They can gain both fame and fortune. Even Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang cannot avoid the common people. After the founding of the country, he begged for nothing and insisted that Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty was his ancestor. The people of the whole country were speechless to Lao Zhu...

Xiao Fan was a little doubtful, was it because people in the early Ming Dynasty had the habit of recognizing their ancestors? Is this a fashion trend? If this is true, would he also follow the trend? Looking through history books to see which celebrity Xiao family is suitable for his ancestors? Xiao He, the Western Han Dynasty? Or Xiao Feng, the king of the South Courtyard?

Xiao Fan was very kind and didn't expose Chen Siliu. He cried and shouted that he would recognize celebrities as his ancestors, but he couldn't stop him. After all, he was so kind to him...

Chen Siliu slowly turned the "original works of ancestors" in his hand towards Xiao Fan with a smudge. On the light yellow antique bamboo paper, several lines of flying and phoenix-danced running grass appeared. Xiao Fan couldn't help but feel calm. This is an antique. After living for two lifetimes, it was the first time that he saw what the antique looked like. Xiao Fan was a little excited.

Xiao Fan bent down slightly and carefully watched the words emitting the faint ink fragrance on the paper. Chen Siliu carefully held them high, and he recited the poems on the paper loudly, with a flauntful look. The sound and emotion were so bright: "'I didn't see the ancients in front of me, and I didn't see the coming from behind. I miss the leisure of the world, and I burst into tears alone.' This was written by my ancestors. His sentiment of worrying about the country and the people. As a descendant of my ancestors, I still couldn't help but burst into tears..."

Xiao Fan became more and more respectful. After looking carefully for a while, he stood up and praised sincerely: "My father-in-law has such rich feelings, but..."

"But what?"

"I'm missing two words, my father-in-law..." Xiao Fan said with a strange look on his face.

"Shou... two words missing?" Chen Siliu was stunned: "What does it mean?"

Xiao Fan looked at Chen Siliu with a complicated look: "'I don't see the ancients in front of me, and I don't see the coming from behind. I think of the vastness of the world, and I am sad and crying.' How many words are these?"

"Twenty-two words." Chen Siliu replied quickly. He was very talented in arithmetic.

"You count the words again, how many words are there?"

Chen Siliuyi was shocked, and he raised his fingers as thick as radish and counted them back and forth several times.

"Twenty." Chen Siliu's fat face twitched a few times, and he felt something was wrong.

Xiao Fan nodded and praised: "My father-in-law is so smart,...so, it lacks two words."

"... Could it be that my ancestors deliberately wrote two less words?" Chen Siliu's face looked a little ugly, but the questions asked were still innocent.

Xiao Fan shook his head slowly and looked at Chen Siliu with a little pitiful look. He was a serious person who loved his father-in-law, but he loved the truth even more.

"Well, in fact..." Xiao Fan glanced at Chen Siliu and said seriously: "The one written on it is indeed a poem, but it has nothing to do with ancestor Ling. It has a name called 'Jingye Si'. The author is not Chen, but Li."

"Quiet...Quiet night thinking? What is quiet night thinking?" Chen Siliu looked confused, and his fat old face was slightly sweating.

"The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground, my father-in-law... This poem can be memorized by five-year-old children."

Chen Siliu felt as if he had been knocked hard by someone, and opened his mouth wide for a long time and couldn't speak.

"You know how to read?" Chen Siliu looked shocked.

"I understand a little bit." Xiao Fan said reservedly.

a long time……

"Oh my god, Lao Zhou, cheated me of a hundred taels of silver!" Chen Siliu's fat face turned red and she roared loudly in anger.

Xiao Fan looked at the hysterical Chen Siliu with sympathy.

It's terrible to be uneducated.

After cursing for a while, Chen Siliu rushed forward and tore the "original works of ancestors" in his hand to pieces, then sat for a long time with pain on his chest, then sighed slowly, "Son-in-law..."

"The son-in-law is here."

"Let's talk about business."

"……good."
