I want to do research even if I have no money

It was already You hour when Situ Lan came out of the palace, and when he got home, it was already dark.In the past, the Dafang always got the fewest quotas, but as the other two bastards left Situ's house one after another, the Dafang got more and more quotas.

Maybe it's because of poverty, but at night, the members of Dafang always like to light up the lamps in the entire west wing. It looks brightly lit, not like a house, but more like the four golden caves outside.

As the eldest family's last hope, Situ Lan himself doesn't like this kind of nouveau riche showing off. However, his parents and his grandmother seem to be addicted. Every time it came to his mouth, he stopped again.

"Lan'er, why are you here so late? What happened?"

Speaking of the group of people in the big room, what Situ Lan admired most was his own mother, who was not as stupid as his father and grandmother, who could guess the rest of the joint just by opening the beginning of a conversation.

"Today, the boy is in class with the fifth prince and a few companions. They said that the second prince is praying for the Queen Mother at the White Crane Temple..." Situ Lan raised his head and met the eyes of his mother Xue, "If I remember correctly, The White Crane Temple is located in Ningshan County, and the place where the elder brother keeps his filial piety is also in Ningshan County."

"You mean that Situ Meng might meet the second prince and board the second prince's big ship?"

"No, what I mean is, how can this 'possible' become 'impossible'."

"Let me think about it..." Xue waved her hand and brushed away the fragrant tea her husband handed over. She frowned, looking a little anxious, "That kid should have just settled down in Ningshan County, and his grandfather died a long time ago. , the villa was left unattended, and it became a mess. In a short period of time, he should have no time to take care of him, but after a long time, when the mess is cleaned up, it will be hard to say..."

"No... are you thinking too much?" The second master of the Situ family listened for a long time, and finally couldn't help expressing his opinion, "Dignified second prince, is it possible that there is no one guarding him? Can it be so easy for people to approach?" How can that brat want to match up with the prince? Think about it, he is a descendant of the Jian family! I heard that the second prince has not only guards from the Imperial Guard, but also elites specially selected from the Jian family army! What's next to that brat in the second room? Isn't it just a lame servant who can't even do physical work and wants to get on the big ship of the second prince?!"

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case." Situ Lan looked at his father, the pity in his eyes flashed, and he said patiently: "Father, there are some things you don't understand. Big brother, he has learned the true biography of his uncle since he was a child, and the city government is too scheming." Deep, do you think he can really let go of everything in the capital and go to such a remote and desolate place as Ningshan to observe his filial piety? You are not afraid that he will come back to trouble us when he is full-fledged in the future?"

"We did this just as a precautionary measure. We didn't kill him, and we didn't cause much harm to him...Dad, don't you think so?"

I have to say that Situ Lan's words really hit the second master's sore spot. From childhood, there was an elder brother who became the youngest Hanlin University scholar in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and later a younger brother who was known as the most talented man in the capital. Moreover, both of them were descendants of concubines, and his son-in-law was sandwiched in between, like two pieces of gold with a stone sandwiched between them, which was redundant and an eyesore.

"You are right, young people should practice a lot so that they can achieve success in the future!"

Seeing the second master walk out of the room with the teapot in hand, both of them heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. There was no one holding back, and the conversation between Xue Shi and Situ Lan's mother and son went more smoothly.

Xue put an empty teacup in the middle of the round table, and held another empty teacup in his hand, as if considering where to put it down: "The most urgent thing is to find a way to prevent that kid from getting close to the second prince... In the White Crane Temple, since it is in the name of praying for the Empress Dowager, you should not leave the White Crane Temple rashly."

"The second prince will naturally not go to the elder brother in person, but the elder brother can only find a way to hook up with the people around the second prince, and ask someone to help make a match... What do you need if you want to make a match... something that can be used as a certificate..."

"Money!" Xue Shi and Situ Lan said at the same time.

The light in Xue's eyes flashed, but quickly dimmed, "The money that Situ Meng carried on his body was only enough for him to settle down in Ningshan Town, and he didn't even have enough money to repair the villa. Where would he find spare money to buy off the people around the Second Prince?" ?”

Situ Lan rolled his eyes and said, "Mother, did you forget that elder brother still has a lot of things left in the warehouse! Those treasures, calligraphy and paintings are worthless in the warehouse, and it's hard to say if they are outside... It fell into the hands of the eldest brother, and he sold it as soon as he changed hands, and with the money in hand, it was much easier to do things."

"But those precious calligraphy and paintings are all his parents' relics, and some are his mother's dowry. Although they are stored in the warehouse now, we can't hide them when the appointed time comes. There is a written proof, and the old man will not allow it." Xue finally put down the second empty cup and put it next to the first cup.

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Situ Lan turned the torch on the table to the maximum, and the light was so dazzling that people couldn't look directly at it. "My child thought of a way to ensure that nothing will go wrong!"

Xue: "What way?"

"We do this... and do this again..." Situ Lan moved closer to Mrs. Xue, and the two discussed in a low voice, "It's not that we won't return the things in the storeroom to him, it's just that the mountain is high and the river is long, and these treasures must not be returned to him in a hurry. If you meet a robber on this road, the gain outweighs the loss?"

"Tell grandfather like this, and he will definitely agree!" Situ Lan knew his grandfather's character very well. He wanted to be promoted and get rich, but he was timid and afraid of getting ahead. Thanks to Situ Yu's support, he entered the If you have entered the ranks of senior officials, at least you can go to court and listen to politics.

He wanted to be a good person, but after Situ Yu's death, he had no backer. He wanted to join the boat of the Fifth Prince, but he was also worried that Situ Meng was a white-eyed wolf, so he gave the Dafang family a chance, if he hadn't acquiesced Well, Situ Lan can't replace his elder brother.

For such a person, as long as you tell him that it is profitable, and you don't have to make him show a bad face, he will probably turn a blind eye and let them play.

After the discussion between the mother and son, the grandmother had to test Situ Cheng's tone on this matter first. If there was no objection, then it could proceed.

At Chengning Mountain Villa, thousands of miles away, Situ Meng continued to complete his daily check-in activities for the underground base. Many things had delayed his exploration of the underground base. Now that the structure diagram of the base has been drawn for the most part, the rest he plans to do in two days. Complete within days.

Coming out of another tunnel, Situ Meng happened to see Hei Niuer and his uncle outside near the gate of the manor.

"Didn't it be agreed that I didn't see it? What I said was deaf ears, right? Who told my brother about his whereabouts?" Jing Shen was so angry that he smiled instead of anger, "Are you my people, or My brother's people?"

Hearing this, Gong Juren immediately knelt down to plead guilty. He is the boss of the guards around Jing Shen, and all the guards are under his control. Therefore, if the guards made any mistakes, he was the first to suffer.

"Young master, please calm down, this subordinate knows his mistake!"

"Oh, I got it wrong, dare to be right next time!" Jing Shen said, "Forget it, what should come will always come, and originally they were not allowed to meet for the sake of my brother, but if he wants to see him, he can't stop him from seeing him. "

The distance was too far, Situ Meng couldn't hear what they were saying, but the black girl was obviously angry, and his uncle was kneeling on the ground for him to scold!

"Isn't this his uncle? Why is this?!"

Situ Meng ran to the two of them in three steps at the same time, first helped the uncle up, and then taught the black girl, "This is your uncle! He is your elder! How can you lose your temper and make people kneel down!"

"You too, spoil Xiaoshen too much!" Situ Meng said to his uncle, "How can you be so spoiled by him, kneel down to him when you say kneel? You are his elder!"

Gong Juren looked pale, he didn't even dare to look up at Jing Shen, he wanted to tell Situ Meng that this was not his nephew, but his master!And it is obvious that he is lax in managing his subordinates, someone leaked the information that Jing Shen wanted to cover up, they should be punished...

His back was covered with cold sweat, he just wanted to find a place to hide, he couldn't imagine the current expression of Jing Shen at all.

However, Jing Shen was not as angry as he thought, instead he looked sideways at Situ Meng.

"What are you looking at me for? What you have to do now is to apologize to your uncle! No matter what you did wrong, you shouldn't punish him like this! This is wrong!"

After Situ Meng finished speaking, seeing these two uncles and nephews, the uncle was terrified to death, but the nephew was indifferent.Thinking about coming to Hei Niuer's family, the father's family should be very powerful, and the mother's family should live dependent on the father's family, so his uncle is so afraid of him.

Situ Meng was moved by his own thoughts, and looked at the young uncle with a little pity in his eyes, and Gong Juren, who was pitied by him, felt that today was probably his death day, depending on the character of his young master, he might How to torture him...

"Okay," Jing Shen said to Gong Juren, "I'm sorry."

"Well, it's pretty much the same. They're all family members. If you have something to say, don't make people kneel down. A man has gold under his knees, you know?"

"Understood," Jing Shen said to Gong Juren, "Go back first!"

"Yes...Okay, okay!" Gong Guren ran away in a frenzy.

Situ Meng looked at his running back and muttered, "Why does he seem to be scared?" The black girl is so cute, what is there to be afraid of?

As Jingshen's bodyguard, Gong Juren naturally couldn't really run away. He ran for a certain distance, and seeing that Situ Meng could no longer see him, he used light work to jump between the houses and returned to Jingshen's side.

The guards around him patted him on the shoulder and gave him a sympathetic look. Because of Situ Meng, Jing Shen let Gong Juren go temporarily, but when he returned to Baihe Temple at night, that was their real punishment time.

I just hope that Situ Meng can make Jing Shen feel better today, and when the time comes to punish them, he will be more gentle.

However, their hopes are probably going to be dashed. During the day, Jing Shen really had a good time with Situ Meng, but when he returned to Baihe Temple, his brother was waiting for him at the door with arms folded, and the first thing he said was, "You go again?" Chengning Villa?"

"So what?"

"How? Do you know his background? His grandfather is Situ Cheng! His father is Situ Yu, Chen Xiang's favorite student! Their family is Chen Xiang's faction, and you still call Situ Meng a brother?!"

Jing Shen said alertly: "Have you checked him?"

"Otherwise?" Jing Chun said, "Let you be with someone who is in the opposite camp and be deceived by him?"

"Why was it cheated?" Jing Shen argued, "You don't know anything at all! Situ Meng has nothing to do with the Situ family a long time ago—he was kicked out by Situ Cheng, and his companion was robbed by his cousin. He, the Situ family has hurt him to such an extent, how can he go back without any grievances? I'm afraid he is the person who hates the Situ family the most in the whole world!"

Jing Chun asked suspiciously, "Are you serious?"

"Whether it's true or not, you can find out by yourself!" Jing Shen turned around angrily, "White Crane Temple is too hot, I'm going to sleep outside!"

"Hey you..." Jing Chun wanted to tell him not to leave, but Jing Shen used his lightness kung fu and disappeared in two or three strokes. He sighed and turned back to his room.

"Do you think I pushed him too hard?" Jing Chun said.

Just like looking for Mr. Ji, this is the real purpose of their coming to Ningshan County, but Jing Shen clearly saw Mr. Ji but did not tell him that he visited Mr. Ji today, but Mr. Ji did not see him behind closed doors. Standing outside Ji Lao's gate all afternoon, he returned empty-handed.

Perhaps as Jing Shen said, some things really cannot be forced.However, this is the task their mother gave them, and they have to complete it...

Jing Chun's bodyguard showed up and walked beside Jing Chun. After hearing what he said, he didn't know how to respond.

In fact, Jing Chun dotes on Jing Shen more than anyone else, he is a textbook younger brother, he has to worry about and worry about everything about Jing Shen, and he is more like his mother than Jing Shen's mother.

But even though the starting point is correct, as a young boy, he is naturally unwilling to be controlled by his brother all day long. The more he manages, the more rebellious the depth of field will be. The conflict became more obvious when the brothers were alone in Ningshan County.

The next day, Jing Chun woke up early, and together with his guards, secretly went to Chengning Villa to find Jing Shen.
