I want to do research even if I have no money

It's no wonder that Situ Meng gave the other party such a weird name, it's just because this little friend Liu Shen looks too much like a little girl—not to say that he is sissy, but that his face is so delicate, if it wasn't for With a darker complexion, he looked exactly like a fine china doll.

Hei Niuer said, "You are Situ Hanlin's son."

This is not a question, but an affirmative sentence. After hearing this, Situ Meng became interested, "Do you know my father?"

"It doesn't count as acquaintance, it's just that I've heard his name..." Jing Shen said, "Why are they buried here? Is this the ancestral grave of Situ's family?"

"Of course not!" As soon as the matter of the old lady was mentioned, Luo Wu couldn't help being angry, "It was Dafang and the others who took advantage of the fact that the young master was sick and the mother clan didn't come forward to speak out, so they brought the old lady's grave here, and didn't let them Enter the ancestral temple!"

"Not only that, they also snatched the seat of the young master's companion! It was clear that the fifth prince and Chen Xiangguo asked my young master to be a companion by name, but the Dafang and the others expelled the young master on the grounds that the young master will keep filial piety for his parents for three years. When we get here, let the Second Young Master pretend to be on top!"

Jing Shen: "Can you still do this?! Then they are too ridiculous... Situ Cheng is both the head of the family and the grandfather of the annoying ghost, does he not care?"

"My son is his grandson, and the second young master is also his grandson, and the second young master is a direct grandson, with both parents and grandma backing him. Seeing that we are lonely, the grand master drove us out and cultivated him." The grandson is gone!"

What Luo Wu said was correct. At the beginning, the second aunt also sent them away with similar words, saying that Situ Meng's parents were dead and no one would support them. Even if they became companions in the future, they would not last long. Instead of wasting this opportunity, it is better to directly Give up the position of companion to his cousin Situ Lan.

In fact, they all thought too much. Situ Meng had no obsession with being a companion. They all said that being with a king is like a tiger. Although he had never experienced it, he had watched a lot of Gongdou dramas in modern times before. I've seen pigs run!

It's just because the calligraphy, paintings and jewels collected by his parents during their lifetime are all held to Dafang and the others, saying that if he doesn't leave, he won't return the inheritance that should belong to his parents to him.He doesn't care how much these things are worth, but many of these calligraphy and paintings are his father's calligraphy and his mother's dowry.His father, Situ Yu, is a legend. He was the youngest Hanlin University scholar in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and also the first youngest person to be elected to the cabinet.He is sought after by many young students in the capital, and his calligraphy is priceless in the capital...

But these are not important, what is important is that these are the memories his father left him.

In order to get back his parents' belongings, Situ Meng had no choice but to leave the capital and come to Ningshan County to inherit his grandfather's villa.

"In that case, the Situ family is really deceiving people too much!" After hearing what the two said, Jing Shen shared the same hatred with Luo Wu, and Situ Meng shook his head and smiled when he saw the two teenagers filled with righteous indignation.

"It's all over. Now that I have inherited this villa, I have to do it well...Didn't Dafang and the others expect me to die? I want to show them a good life!"

Jing Shen raised his head, staring blankly at Situ Meng's side face.The sunlight illuminated half of his face particularly brightly, outlining a youthful but resolute outline, and his dark eyes, like dots of ink, shone with confidence.

Jingshen didn't know how he got back to Baihe Temple that day. When Jing Chun, who was guarding the gate of the yard, saw him, he almost vomited blood, "Stop! How many times have I told you, don't be alone Run out, don't stay outside all day and refuse to go home! Look up, you came back after it was dark, do you think I can't cure you?!"

Jing Shen's thoughts came back from running around all over the sky, looked at his own brother, curled his lips, and said, "Why did I go out alone, aren't the dark guards human? Are they not human?"

His hand passed in front of a row of tall young men in uniform behind him, and the guards who were named by him lowered their heads, for fear of being involved in the quarrel between the two brothers.

Jing Chun was annoyed by him, thought for a while, and said: "Let's not talk about you sneaking out, let me ask you, where is your jade pendant? It is the most famous thing that your grandmother specially asked Quan Jingshi for when you were young." It was carved by the sculptor of yours, and none of your brothers and sisters except you... Don’t tell me you lost such an important thing!"

Depth of Field: "I didn't lose it, how could I lose it? I've been wearing it for so many years... it's just a gift."

"What? Say it again, who did you give it to?"

"My stuff, I can give it to whoever I want!"

"You!" Jing Chun took a deep breath, told himself to calm down and not get angry, and tried to reason with Jing Shen, "Tell me about yourself, how can you take care of yourself, your wife and children in the future if you are so irresponsible in doing things? "

Jing Shen: "Maybe people like me like this? You are not my wife, how do you know what people think?"

"You are sophistry! Nonsense!" Jing Chun was completely pissed off by his younger brother, and said to the guards around him, "From now on, Jingshen is grounded, and no one can let him out without my permission! If I know who to cover Those who allow him to go out will be dealt with by military law!"

Speaking back to Situ Meng, after paying homage to his parents and grandfather, Situ Meng and Luo Wu returned to the Lin Mansion. There was still some time before sunset, and the Lin Mansion was cleaned up by Luo Wu and several servants. It is better than before, at least it is a place where people can live.He sat down in the living room to rest, and for a while, no one came to pour him a cup of tea.

Apparently, Luo Wu also found out that when he came in, he and several servants obviously met their eyes, they must have seen him and the young master come back, but no one came up to serve.

Luo Wu went out to find someone to make tea, but found that these servants were all gathered together to play cards, the tea was made, but it was not for the young master to drink, but all went into his own stomach.

Luo Wu shouted: "What are you doing here?!"

Hearing Luo Wu's voice, several people stopped what they were doing and stared at him for a long time. They evaded each other, and finally pushed out the youngest one among them. What to scold, reluctantly boiled hot water.

"I have to wait a little longer," Luo Wu said angrily when he returned to the hall, "Those people are even more lazy than the servants of Situ's mansion! The tea brought over from the capital! It's really crazy!"

Situ Meng: "This is normal. Think about it. In the past at Situ's house, the servants at least didn't abuse us for the sake of my father and mother. But the few people outside were in the forest before I was born. I'm an official in the mansion, and I think I'm more familiar with the manor and the Lin mansion than we are, and we're just two 'kids' who can step on anyone without a backer, how can they take me seriously?"

"It's all because I'm not strong enough... If only I could be as strong as my mother." Luo Wu lowered his head and said in frustration.

His mother was Lin's dowry maid. Back then, in Situ's mansion, all the servants and maids had to be disciplined by her. At that time, the big house was not favored, and the grand master treated Situ Yu as the next head of the family, and Lin Shi suffered from heart disease since childhood, and all affairs in the mansion were handed over to Luo Wu's mother. Although his mother was born as a maid and had no education, she managed the servants very well. Situ Mansion was under her care. Management is well organized.

If his mother hadn't passed away early, he could have learned more skills from his mother in managing the mansion's servants, so that he wouldn't be able to manage even a few servants as he is now.

In fact, Luo Wu's thinking is too simple. At their current age, no matter how many house fighting skills they have, they have no chance to implement them, because in the eyes of others, they are just two helpless little boys. Boy, who would be intimidated by two children?

These Situ Mengs all understand that he does not intend to provide for the original servants of the Lin Mansion, but the current situation cannot be chosen by him. These servants still have a contract with the Lin Mansion, and Situ Meng does not need to spend money to hire them, but now Situ Meng There is not much money available at hand, even if there are rewards for completing system tasks in the future, they can only wait for the future, far water cannot save near fire, the fact before them is that they cannot afford servants; , Situ Meng and Luo Wu alone cannot maintain its daily operation.

Putting the affairs of the Lin Mansion aside, the most urgent task is to complete the system tasks first, find and sign ten tenants.

Two days ago, Situ Meng signed two tenants in the market, and persuaded three loose farmers to become tenants. He persuaded two of the original tenants in the villa, but the remaining three were not easy to agree with.

These three former tenant households all have a common feature, that is, some of their families are working as servants in the Lin Mansion.Situ Meng came to the home of one of the tenants. Two of their family were servants in the Lin Manor. Logically speaking, they were both tenants of the manor. They were not much different from the peasant couple two days ago. , Situ Meng really thought so.

However, after he entered, he found that the family was much richer than he had imagined. What was dilapidated was only the shell of the house, and the interior decoration was even more luxurious than that of the Lin Mansion. Needless to say, after the old owner passed away, they must have lived in The Lin family searched for many treasures.

Situ Meng didn't want to pursue the past, and there was no one in Lin's residence. Even if he pursued it, no one could prove that these antiques originally belonged to Lin's residence, and he couldn't pursue it if he wanted to.

"Young owner, to tell you the truth, our family has been here as tenants for almost 20 years. You were not born when we were hoeing here! After so many years, we are considered old people in the manor. What do you think? It’s not impossible for us to continue to sign the contract, but isn’t the lease price a bit high?” One of the tenants said, “For the sake of the old owner, I can accept this price, but the east side of the river The few acres of land that I have left are useless anyway, why don't you give it to us as a bonus, what do you think?"

Situ Meng smiled and said: "It's fine for you to use, but the geographical location is better than your original one, and the rental price will naturally be higher. As long as you are willing to pay the extra rent, the land will It's yours."

The tenant farmer: "Hey, talking about money hurts feelings! Little boy, don't forget that you are begging us to rent your land now. Our family does not lack such a few pieces of land. You can think carefully about it!"

"Old man, I'm afraid you haven't been out these days?" Situ Meng said, "Ningshan County is so big, and apart from Chengning Villa, only the Baihe Peak has farmland that can be cultivated. If you always have Time, you can go outside to inquire about the rental price for the tenants there. The tenants there heard that our Chengning Villa reopened and wanted to sign a contract with me. It’s just that the villa has just started, and I miss your family again There are people who work in the Lin Mansion, so they reserve a place for you. If you really don't want to farm land, then don't waste the land, they are all waiting with their necks up!"
