Jingxing Garden.

Mr. Lou was sitting at the head of the hall, with Fei Rulan, Fei Ruhe, and Zhao Zhenfang standing in front of him.

"Chunfang." Lou was the first to call Zhao Zhenfang's name.

Zhao Zhenfang immediately stepped forward and replied, "Mother, my daughter is here."

The slaves in the inner courtyard are nominally adopted children and daughters, and those who are close to each other can call their masters their parents.

With a smile on Lou's face, he said pleasantly, "what did your brother write in the letter? If you don't want to say it, forget it."

Zhao Zhenfang didn't know what was going on, and answered honestly: "Second brother said in the letter that my mother sent him to Jiujiang for a major event, and it may take two or three years to come back. The second brother asked me to listen to my mother's words and read more often, not always Playing with the second sister (Fei Rumei)."

"No?" Lou asked.

Zhao Zhenfang replied: "Second brother also said that when he comes home next time, he will buy me a beautiful big doll."

Lou smiled and waved: "Go and play with the second sister."

"Daughter retire." Zhao Zhenfang immediately saluted and exited the room.

After Zhao Zhenfang left, Lou asked his son, "Ruhe, what did Zhao Han's letter to you say?"

Fei Ruhe always felt that something was wrong, and said: "Brother Han said that he was sent by his mother to Jiujiang to do business, and he might not be able to return for a year or so. He also said that he left the manuscript in a restaurant, whether the "Ehu Xun Magazine" will continue to run. It's all up to me. If you want to continue, you can discuss it with Xu Ying, Liu Ziren, and Fei Yuanjian. After the price increase for the fourth phase, it will definitely make money."

"That's all?" Lou asked.

Fei Ruhe nodded and said, "That's all. By the way, he also asked me to practice riding and archery."

Lou waved his hand and said, "you go down too."

Only the mother and daughter were left in the house.

They looked at each other and knew the truth.

Fei Rulan couldn't hold back at this time, and she took the initiative to say, "Mother, Brother Han murdered and set fire to the county government office."

"I know," Lou said, "Mother made a mistake in this matter. I didn't expect the master to be so greedy. Brother Han promised to give him 50 taels, but this idiot was not satisfied, so he secretly sent someone to inform the old man."

Fei Rulan couldn't care less about resenting her grandfather, and said anxiously, "If something big happens, will Brother Han be able to escape?"

"You're still worrying about him at this point?" Lou was angry and funny, and a little helpless, "I know he has the ability, and I know he has a temper, but I really didn't expect that his ability and temper would be so unexpected. So big! Fei Lin came back and told me that Zhao Han killed the master and Dianshi, and set fire to the county government office. Not even blood!"

Fei Rulan was dumbfounded. She didn't know the details before, and she was afraid that Zhao Han would be cut and injured.

Now that Lou said this, Fei Rulan finally felt relieved, and even began to imagine the heroic scene of Zhao Han slaughtering the Quartet.

Lou asked, "What did he tell you in the letter?"

Fei Rulan replied, "Brother Han said that if his daughter doesn't want to wait for him, she will find another good son to marry. If her daughter is willing to stay with him, it will be two or three years short, and four or five years later, and he will definitely return to Yanshan again. At that time, the marriage of Chunfang (Zhao Zhenfang) will also be decided."

"It's still conscientious, and I didn't force you to stick to it," Lou asked, "what about your own ideas?"

Fei Rulan looked down at the ground, not daring to meet her mother's eyes, her voice soft but firm: "My daughter has a private life with him, of course you have to wait patiently."

When Fei Rulan wanted to come, a hug in Dingsheng Building was already a private life.

Lou did not scold her daughter, nor did she agree with her, but calmly analyzed: "Zhao Han has always been smart and decisive, even if he is contaminated and imprisoned, he can wait for me to save people with money. Why did he let Fei Lin go out of the city first and fight with others by himself? , and also set fire to the county government office, completely cutting off his own way back?"

Fei Rulan thought about it carefully, but couldn't figure it out.

"It's definitely not young and aggressive," Lou shook his head and frowned, thinking hard, "When he let Fei Lin out of the city, he planned everything. He couldn't wait to leave the Fei family, and he couldn't wait to leave the lead mountain. What was he thinking about? doing what?"

"My daughter doesn't understand." Fei Rulan said.

"I don't understand either," Lou continued to analyze, "he is a man of love, and he would never leave his sister alone. But he just left, and he also wrote that he trusted me to take care of his younger sister, saying that one day there would be a big reward. . He is sure that he can come back, but what is his intention to go here?"

Fei Rulan said, "Brother Han must have big ambitions."

Lou couldn't understand, he waved his daughter to leave first, and then called Fei Lin and Fei Chun's father and son.

"Fei Chun, you are close to Zhao Han, do you know what big ambition he has?" Lou asked.

Fei Chun hesitantly said, "But... maybe it's an official."

"Speak!" Lou suddenly shouted angrily.

Fei Chun trembled with fright, and said bravely, "I don't know, he didn't tell me either."

Lou swindled: "In the letter to me, he has already written it clearly, do you still dare to lie to me? You are so bold!"

Fei Chun lay on the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "I really don't know."

"Go on." Lou was a little helpless.

The father and son took the lead and carefully exited the room.

Fei Lin hurriedly asked, "What exactly is Brother Han doing?"

"I can't tell, Dad, you'd better not know." Fei Chun was tight-lipped.

As early as last year, Fei Chun overheard the truth.

At that time, Pang Chunlai and Zhao Han were discussing important matters in the world, judging the success and failure of the uprising in the three southern provinces.

In the early years of Chongzhen, peasant uprisings broke out in Guangdong, Fujian and Jiangxi provinces one after another.The people of Guangdong were the most riotous, but after only two or three years, they were pacified by the governor's troops.The uprisings in Fujian and Jiangxi persisted on the basis of the mountains. In history, Chongzhen was even boiled to death. Later, he turned to Nanming to become an anti-Qing rebel army.

Fei Chun heard clearly at the time, Zhao Han said that Jiangxi has more mountains and less land, and it is a natural treasure for rebellion.

This kid knew Zhao Han's thoughts for a long time, but he didn't say anything in his heart, and even endured Lou's fraudulent question.

"Madam, Fei Zhen (the fifth one) asks to see you."

Yingchun came in to report.

Lou gritted his teeth and said, "he still has the face to see me, let him in!"

The fifth rolled into the hall and knelt down with a thud: "Meet the eldest young lady!"

Lou sneered and said, "Uncle Fifth, Brother Han wrote to me saying that you have entered the county office with a clerk. What are you going to do in the county office?"

"Ah? He... he saw it?"

The old fifth was about to faint, and the luck in his heart was shattered.He was even afraid that Zhao Han would be hiding here, so he rushed out and stabbed him to death.

Lou asked, "What are you afraid of?"

"No, I'm not afraid," the old fifth shivered and took out the jade pendant and silver, "Chunfang is well-behaved and sensible, and the old man likes it very much. These are all rewards to her."

"Haha, you guys are really handsome." Lou laughed angrily.

In the blink of an eye, it's New Year's Eve, and this year is relatively deserted.

The eldest young master worked as a magistrate in Suqian, and the fourth young master Ji'an did inspections, but he did not come back to reunite with his family.

On the contrary, Zhao Han's good deeds have spread to Ehu Lake, and the wharf of Ehu Town has posted a sea arrest document, and the government offered a reward of 100 taels for the capture of the traitor Zhao Han.

Killing people and setting fires in the county government will be regarded as a rebel by the government, no matter whether there is a rebellion or not!

Fei Ruhe was inexplicably excited and ran to the Zhongqin Academy to find Fei Lin: "Uncle Lin, did Zhao Han really kill and set fire to the county government office?"

Fei Lin could only admit: "Really."

Fei Ruhe sighed and complained again, "Why doesn't he call me for such a big thing? He really doesn't consider me a friend!"

Fei Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Little Master, this is a beheading business."

"That's how a man should be," Fei Ruhe clapped his hands and laughed, and asked, "What's the situation, tell me quickly."

Fei Lin explained the cause and effect carefully.

Hearing this, Fei Ruhe was filled with righteous indignation and scolded: "That bastard master, who received the money and did nothing, actually turned back to harm others. If it were me, I would be like Brother Han. Killing him can relieve the anger in my heart! "

Fei Lin didn't dare to speak.

Fei Ruhe asked again, "Do you know where Brother Han went?"

"I don't know." Fei Lin shook her head.

The Lantern Festival passed in a blink of an eye.

Lou and Fei Yuanyi reached an agreement that if they wanted to find a poor scholar, as long as they were of good character, they quickly recruited him as their son-in-law.

Fei Rulan was so stupid that she still had to guard Zhao Han, waiting for a wanted criminal wanted by the government.

She must stop thinking about it!

The matchmaker held the tea bowl with a smile on her face: "Madam, don't worry, I promise to do things properly. If the lead mountain can't find a suitable one, I will go to the surrounding counties to find someone. It's just..."

"Just what?" Lou asked.

The matchmaker said, "Can you just ask to be lower? Young scholars, even if their family is poor, they must be arrogant. How can they be willing to be a son-in-law? How good is Tongsheng?"

Lou pondered and said: "If you are a talented person in this county, you don't need to be a son-in-law. If you are from other places, you must hire a son-in-law. I am afraid that my daughter will suffer a loss when she marries. Tongsheng is reluctant, but if you have talent and fame, you must be filial to your parents. kind of."

"That's easy." The matchmaker was happy.

Lou suddenly said with a stern face: "Until this matter is settled, you must not reveal half a word to the outside world. If I hear gossip, you should weigh the fate yourself!"

"I won't talk nonsense. If I tell others, I will die." The matchmaker hurriedly swore and swore.

The matchmaker took the reward and left happily.

Fei Rulan suddenly broke in, and said with a blank face, "Mother, was the matchmaker who just left?"

Lou said with a smile: "It is indeed a matchmaker. Ruhe has reached the marriageable year. I asked the matchmaker to find some daughters from good families."

"Shouldn't the Fei family marry a daughter-in-law?" Fei Rulan sneered.

Lou said: "In the end, you have to choose."

Fei Rulan said, "Mother, if you force your daughter too, her daughter will have to die."

Lou Shi finally couldn't hold back, her face was ugly, and she forced a smile: "You think too much, how could mother force you."

"My daughter said that she would wait for Brother Han for a few years, and then she would not change her words," Fei Rulan said. "Brother Han is now a criminal, and my mother definitely doesn't want it. If she wants to persecute her, her daughter will die, and she thinks about it carefully. Think about it."

After Fei Rulan finished speaking, he left, Lou was so angry that he wanted to throw something.

At any rate, holding back, Mrs Lou called Dongfu and put in a tael of silver: "Catch up with the matchmaker and tell her to stop busy, my daughter has already set a fiance!"

Dong Fu had just left when Fei Ze (Jian Gall) was suddenly brought in with a letter in his hand and said, "Mother, the young master has run away!"

But it was Fei Ruhe who left a letter in the restaurant, and then took Fei Chun to travel around.

This guy was provoked by Zhao Han, and he didn't want to live in Yanshan County, and wanted to go outside for a big business.

Lou opened the letter and wrote only one sentence: "Mother, the baby is gone, don't read. The fourth uncle is doing inspections in Ji'an, and the baby will go to him here, and the baby will come back after doing a big job outside."

"Bastard!"

"Reverse, it's all reversed!"

"I really raised a pair of good children!"

Lou was so angry that she almost fainted, her daughter was not in a hurry, and now even her son was not obedient.

Chapter 083 [Lost Patrol]

After arriving at Wuzi Water Station, you will see Poyang Lake further ahead.

A few Fei boatmen refused to go any further, afraid of encountering water bandits in Poyang Lake.

Zhao Han didn't want to force them either, so he just stayed at the inn and bought the New Year's goods with his own money, and everyone was here to celebrate the New Year.

After staying at the inn for a few days, Chen Maosheng's injuries have recovered, leaving a large scar on his forehead and hairline.

After inquiring with the courier, it turned out that there was no need to enter Poyang Lake.

Wuzi Water Station is located at the mouth of the Sancha River, and the one to the west is the tributary of the Ganjiang River, so there is no need to circle around Poyang Lake.

There were a lot of merchant ships, so Zhao Han and the four paid the shipping fee and went straight to Nanchang on the merchant ship.

A few days later, the shore will be the Tengwang Pavilion!

Well, the remains of Tengwang Pavilion.

Seventeen years ago, Tengwang Pavilion was destroyed by fire, and now Xie Xuelong is preparing to rebuild it.

Xie Xuelong has some skills. He is not from the Donglin party. He was beaten by the eunuch party as a Donglin party because he offended Wei Zhongxian.Last year, when the governor of Jiangxi Province encountered eunuchs jumping up and down, Xie Xuelong did not dare to confront each other, so he could only choose to devote himself to the career of culture and education.

After staying in Nanchang for a few days, we changed ships and continued south.

On the way, there were three banknote gates set up privately by eunuchs, and another water bandit was encountered in Xiajiang County.

The water bandits didn't do anything directly, they just surrounded the merchant ships and let them go after getting a few taels of silver. It looked more like they were here to collect taxes.
