I want to do research even if I have no money

This tenant farmer was probably like what Situ Meng said, he hadn't been out of the manor for a long time, and he didn't have an intuitive concept of the land lease price outside today, and he was thinking of relying on the old man to sell the old man to cheat Situ Meng a few pieces of land.If Situ Meng was really a teenage boy, I am afraid he would really be intimidated by him. However, the fact is that Situ Meng, a teenage shell, has a heart in his thirties. He had already inquired about related matters in Ningshan County, and he could see much more clearly than these former tenant farmers who were sitting in a well and watching the sky.

After hearing his words, the tenant farmer didn't know how to refute them for a while. What he thought was beautiful, but it was all based on Situ Meng's youth and ignorance. If Situ Meng really did what he said and no longer signed a lease contract with them, instead Give the land they have used for more than ten or twenty years to those farmers outside, and kick them out of the manor...

The tenant was sweating profusely thinking about it, but Situ Meng said, "Well, I'll give you a day to discuss with the other two tenants whether to stay in Chengning Villa or go somewhere else. I'm not that kind People who are stubborn and unchanging, if you want to leave, I will not force you to stay without sense."

Situ Meng knew that these tenant farmers whose families were servants in the Lin Mansion had colluded in private, and today's test was just a small test. If he really listened to the tenant farmers and allocated the excess land as he said, For him, when the other two tenant farmers saw it, they would open their mouths and ask for the division of the farmland in the manor. It would be difficult for Situ Meng to refuse.

What he said to this tenant farmer today, the tenant farmer will definitely discuss it with the other two households as soon as he turns his head. When they know that he is not easy to mess with, and they don't care about how many tenants they are, it will be easy to say something.

Situ Meng returned to the Lin Mansion and took a nap. When he woke up, he found that the mirror on the dressing table was flickering. A line of words: [The reputation of tenant farmers] increased by [-] points.After he clicked the confirm button, the [Teater's Reputation] became an experience bar and shrunk to the upper right corner.

He also wanted to see if there was an explanation for this prestige value, but no matter how he fiddled with it, the picture in the mirror did not change. He sighed, sat down at the round table, and poured himself a cup of tea.Since you can't figure it out, let's put it aside for now, anyway, the future is long, as long as you continue to complete the task, you will definitely know in the future.

The life in Chengning Villa is much more troublesome than Situ Meng imagined, not to mention the servants who prostitute their elders, he lives here, even though he was not bullied by the elders when he was in Situ's house, there are many Troubled things, some that Luo Wu took care of, and some that Luo Wu couldn't handle, fell on him, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

First of all, let’s take their three meals a day as an example. Situ Meng thinks that he has not wronged himself in terms of what he eats, and the daily meal money for the cook is not small, but they always eat more vegetables and less meat. Situ Meng Thinking that the prices in Jiangnan were too high, I added another meal fee to the cook who bought the vegetables.However, with more food money, what they ate was even worse than before.

When Jing Shen came to visit the Lin Mansion, he happened to see Situ Meng eating lunch. He managed to survive the confinement and went down the mountain hungry. He wanted to cheat Situ Meng for a meal, but after seeing how he was treated , he was stupid.

"Is it because you want to keep filial piety, so you eat so lightly?"

"..." Facing the question of the depth of field, Situ Meng fell silent. After thinking about it, he said honestly, "No...this is the food I usually eat."

Depth of Field: "Isn't this too bland?! I eat richer food than you in the White Crane Temple. Do you have no money and can't get rid of the pot? Or do you have this habit in the first place? Are you an ascetic?"

The depth of field question made Situ Meng speechless, and he almost choked on the rice. After a long time, he swallowed the rice stuck in his throat with tea, "I am a normal person, I don't have such a habit, I'm not an ascetic monk either. I still have food money, but I bought ingredients for the cook... Isn't it because the prices in the south of the Yangtze River are too high?"

"Are you stupid? No matter how high the prices in the south of the Yangtze River are, can they compare with the capital? You grew up in the capital too. You don't know how much a meal costs. Doesn't your loyal servant also know?"

Situ Meng thought for a while, what Liu Shen said was not unreasonable, Luo Wu had complained before, saying that he paid too much money for the cook to buy ingredients, but they inspected the kitchen and saw that the kitchen was full, the cook really It is to use the money to the point, but why is his food still so mediocre when he eats every day?

He suddenly felt that something was wrong, put down the rice bowl in his hand, glanced at the black girl, and walked towards the kitchen without hesitation.Seeing that there was a good show to watch, Jing Shen also followed Situ Meng. Just as the two of them were approaching the kitchen, Situ Meng's hand was caught by Jing Shen, and he suddenly felt a strong force pulling him upwards. Already on the roof.

Depth of Field let go of his hand, pointed to the front, and let Situ Meng see. Only then did Situ Meng realize that he was squatting on the roof opposite the kitchen, where he could just see the scene in the kitchen.The cook skillfully cut the ingredients into pieces and put them into the stew pot. Situ Meng had never seen these ingredients before.Jing Shen said: "Is she making a fuss?"

Most likely, Situ Meng said in his heart, no wonder what he ate every day was like leftovers, the original good ingredients were used by the cook to start a small stove.The two of them looked down again, and the cook packed up the remaining materials, put the prepared stew pot and meals in the lunch box, and went out through the back door of Lin Mansion with the lunch box.

Situ Meng felt the huge force again, and the boy grabbed his arm and lifted him up, jumping on the roof of the house.Every time Situ Meng landed, he was afraid that he would accidentally step on the tiles and slide down. However, although the black girl was thin, she was surprisingly strong, and every time she landed accurately, she never missed.

After the thrilling "hopscotch" activity, Situ Meng was brought to the door of a tenant by the black girl. At this time, the cook had already entered the door with a lunch box. The man carried it up to the roof again.

Depth of Field skillfully lifted a tile on the roof, and looked inside together with Situ Meng, only to see the cook enter the room, a young man dressed as a scholar took the lunch box from her, and put the dishes one by one on the wooden table. On the table, pick up the chopsticks and start eating.

Situ Meng was extremely furious at the cook's misappropriation of the ingredients in the mansion. After returning to Lin's mansion, he conspired with Luo Wu. Luo Wu was responsible for collecting evidence of the cook's embezzlement of food money and ingredients. But he interrupted and said: "This matter should be reported directly to the official. You confront her. Then she will know that you have her hands. In the future, she will definitely guard against you. If you want to report to the official again, it will be difficult for her." Already!"

"The villa has just started, and I don't want such a scandal to spread and ruin the reputation of the villa. And after this incident, this cook will not stay in Lin's mansion again. I will find another chef to take care of our meals."

Jing Shen sighed, "You can do whatever you want, anyway, this villa is yours, you can do whatever you like." As long as there is a good show for me to watch, let me pass the time.

After a few days like this, Luo Wu has collected all the evidence. At lunch time, when the cook was serving food, Situ Meng suddenly raised an issue, and together with Luo Wu exposed the evidence that she embezzled the meal money and ingredients. The cook's son, who was still sleeping late at home, was tied up, and the mother and son stood together, and on the table in front of them was the leftover ginseng antler that Jing Shen brought along with him.

"The evidence is here, what else is there to say? I'll give you a chance to argue." Situ Meng looked up at the son of the cook who was taller than him. According to Luo Wu, this person was a A scholar who failed the list, aged between thirty and eight, eats and is lazy at home every day, neither wants to work in agriculture nor for businessmen, and dreams of being named in the gold list every day.

"This... We bought these with our own money. Where are they from the Lin family? What you say is from the Lin family is from the Lin family? There is no proof for what you say, evidence! Show me the evidence!" The exposure immediately panicked, but his son was "unruffled in times of danger" and knew how to argue.

Situ Meng shook his head, this person is really hopeless, no wonder he is old and still hiding under the protection of his mother.As soon as he beckoned, Luo Wu immediately compared the ingredients recently purchased by Lin's mansion, the ingredients of their daily dishes, and the ingredients found by the cook's house, and also thoughtfully attached the prices of these ingredients. The cook listened Her face was already pale with fright. At first, her son planned to resist, but after hearing that, every case and every item corresponded to what they withheld at home. The evidence was conclusive, and he could no longer deny it. .

"How about this? Aunt Yu has worked in the Lin Mansion for many years and has also taken care of my grandfather. I will withhold these evidences and not report them to the authorities. As long as you return the ingredients and money you embezzled within two months, This matter will be settled; but if you don't return the money and ingredients within the time limit, then I'm sorry, I will take the evidence to report to the official, in the future your son will be guilty of crimes, can he still take the imperial examination, and can he be an official? My lord, I can't say for sure."

After hearing Situ Meng's words, the cook kowtowed to plead guilty, saying that she would definitely make up for the money, etc., and begged him not to report to the officials.Her son was dragged by her to kneel down together, with his head bowed, a thoughtful look on his face.

Depth of Field: "Actually, it doesn't matter even if you run away privately, your owner's grandfather was an official in the capital, and he was still a high-ranking official. When the time comes, he will tell his grandfather that the arrest warrant will spread throughout Dazhou, every prefecture and every prefecture. They are all looking for you, even fleeing to the ends of the earth is useless."

His make-up knife is more effective than what Situ Meng said. Since ancient times, those who farm the fields are afraid of being an official, especially those like the cook's son who have read sage books for several years and feel that they are invincible in the world. The most fearful thing is to lose face. .Situ Meng is not enough to suppress him with anything, only like the depth of field, if you make small moves, you will directly break your dream, and send you a wanted man from all over the country. An arrogant person like the cook's son can't afford to be ashamed .

Sure enough, when the cook's son heard Jing Shen's words, his body shook suddenly, and his kneeling posture was much more upright than before. Issue a wanted warrant! We will definitely exchange the things within the time limit! We will exchange them even if we sell everything!"

After seeing off the mother and son of the cook who were crying with snot and tears all over their faces, Situ Meng took a look at Jing Shen and said: "The whole country wants to arrest the scholar who failed the ranking... It's really good that you can figure it out, how much ability does it take to do it? Besides, he is not a vicious person."

Jing Shen said: "Why is this so difficult? It's just a mere arrest warrant, as long as there are people in the DPRK, it will naturally be done..."

Seeing Situ Meng looking at him suspiciously, Jing Shen changed his words again: "But I was just talking casually to scare them, how could it be possible to find someone to make an arrest warrant just because of a few dozen taels of food, it is really a dream ?!"
