Zhou Jia smiled and said to Li Yu: "Yu'er, I was in the Yamen and heard them discussing privately that the Fan family had embezzled a lot of gold and silver for decades. Do you think he would hide the gold and silver in Zhuangzi?" Where did you go?"

After hearing this, Li Yu remembered that a corrupt official hid money in the pond in his previous life. He thought that the Fan family had planted lotus flowers in the pond and would dig out the lotus roots in two months. He thought it was impossible. Could it be that they were laid under the floor tiles? Li Yu looked at the green bricks under his feet and thought: Do you want to dig them up and take a look?

"It's also possible. Find an opportunity to see if there is a wall on the Zhuangzi, or if it is hidden under the floor tiles." Zhou Jia looked at Li Yucai's obsessed look, smiled, sat up and pinched her nose, "Silly girl, if If there is really gold and silver, you won't be safe living in Zhuangzi anymore. Even if there is gold and silver, I think His Majesty has already sent people to look for it. Do you think the floor tiles in the ground look like they have been re-paved?"

Li Yu turned his head to look, nodded, and suddenly thought that Yangyang and the others liked to play in the water and fish, and might have gone to the lotus pond. When he thought that the water in the lotus pond was not shallow, he held Zhou Jia's hand uneasily, " Get up soon, maybe Yang'er and the others have already gone to the lotus pond, let's go out and have a look."

"Okay, let's go see our son." Zhou Jia smiled and kissed Li Yu. The couple got out of bed and went outside to see Mr. Wen wearing a straw hat and walking out.

Zhou Jia asked with a smile; "Sir, do you want to go out?"

Mr. Wen looked at the two of them with a smile, "Ah Qing, Mr. Qian and Yang'er have all gone to the lotus pond, and I plan to go and have a look."

Li Yu said with a smile: "Sir, we also plan to take a look. Since everyone has gone, let Xinghua and Mrs. Zhang get some fruits and sit there to enjoy the cool air."

Mr. Wen waved to the two of them cheerfully, "Let's go!"

Several people walked to the front yard. As soon as they reached the front yard, they saw Zhaocai entering the yard. Zhaocai reported to the two of them: "Master, madam, Han San's mother and daughter-in-law want to come to see you and your wife."

Zhou Jia nodded, "Okay, you bring them in."

After a while, Zhaocai took Han San and his family into the courtyard. The two children took a curious look at the melon stand in the courtyard, and then took their parents' hands to the main hall.

After the family greeted Li Yu, his wife, and Mr. Wen, Li Yu said to Han San and his family: "You will be members of the Zhou family from now on. As long as you abide by the rules, the Zhou family will not treat you badly.

With Mrs. Zhang and the others on the stove, you take care of the livestock in the backyard, the lotus pond, and the acres of cornfields at the door. There is also a stove in the back room, so you can get rice, grains, oil and salt to cook for yourself.

As soon as Han San arrived, his monthly salary was the same as Uncle Liu's for the time being, while Aunt Han and Sister-in-law Han's monthly salary was halved based on Han San's! From now on, you don’t have to kneel down and kowtow all the time, just keep the rules in your heart. "

Seeing Li Yuyu's warm-heartedness, the family kowtowed happily: "It's madam. We remember it. Thank you, sir! Thank you madam."

Mr. Wen looked at Old Mrs. Han's hands on the ground, which were bent and swollen like chicken feet. He frowned. After the Han family got up, he waved to Old Mrs. Han and said, "Sister-in-law, I see your hands are rheumatism." The illness is serious, come here and let me take a look at you."

Old Mrs. Han stood there in a daze, muttering, "Old lady, I'm used to this."

After hearing what Mr. Wen said, Han San kowtowed to Mr. Wen with great joy and thanked him, "Thank you, old man. My mother's hand hurts when she touches cold water."

Mr. Wen smiled and waved his hand, "I am just a doctor, so there is no need for such a big ceremony."

"Yes, old man." Han San got up with a smile and pushed the stunned old lady to sit opposite Mr. Wen. After looking at it, Mr. Wen said: "Try not to use cold water in the future. The medicine I prescribed is available in Kyoto Prefecture. I will give it tomorrow." You and Zhaocai go back to Kyoto Mansion and ask me to give you some medicine."

"Thank you, old man." The family happily saluted Mr. Wen and left.

Xinghua, Sister Zhang, and Nanny Chen arrived at the front yard carrying fruits, cakes, and roasted seeds and nuts. Seeing that Li Yu and the others were still in the yard, Xinghua asked with a smile: "Madam, are you still going to the lotus pond?"

"Go, you guys send the things over first!" Li Yu said with a smile.

The group of people walked towards the lotus pond. When they arrived at the lotus pond, Zhou Jia stood outside the wooden door of the fence, looked at the lotus leaves in the pond and said with a smile: "The Fan family's lotus pond garden really took a lot of effort. There are flowers almost all year round." I watched it."

Li Yu pointed to the clusters of rose flowers of various colors and said with a smile: "Look at the beautiful colors of those rose flowers, right? Oh! Look at those children running to the pavilion to lie down."

When several people walked to the pavilion, they saw several children lying on their backs on the wooden chairs on the pavilion, fast asleep, and Xiaobai lay there watching over them.

Li Yu walked over and touched Yang Yang's hand. Yang Yang opened his eyes and saw Li Yu, "Mom, it's so cool to sleep here."

Li Yu kissed his forehead and said with a smile: "Well! Then you can sleep a little longer, and my father and master will sit in the pavilion over there for a while."

Walking to the pavilion at the end of the lotus pond, Zhou Jia looked at the circle of hooks left on the pavilion and said with a smile: "These hooks are used to hang the curtains to prevent our lady from being spied on."

Mr. Qian's voice rang out, "The Fan family may have never thought that one day, his pampered daughter would be sent to the Jiaoshifang to become a singing girl!"

"Yes! I have to spend the rest of my life to make up for the glory and wealth that I have enjoyed. People like the Fan family are just too dissatisfied."

Mr. Wen looked at Zhou Jia and Li Qing, "Jiahe, Ah Qing, sir, I know that you are good children, but I also want to tell you that you should take the Fan family's affairs as a warning and do not covet immediate interests and harm future generations. "

The two of them bowed and said, "Yes sir, we remember it."

Mr. Wen nodded happily, "Okay, you guys talk, I'll go for a walk."

Mr. Qian smiled and stepped forward to support Mr. Wen, "I will also go shopping with the old man."

Zhou Jia looked at Mr. Qian and smiled and said, "Okay, you go with the old man for a walk."

After Mr. Wen and Mr. Qian left, Li Qing said with a smile: "We walked around the lotus pond a few times and looked around. We plan to wait for the fragrant osmanthus to come to the village to play again."

Hearing Li Qing talk about the fragrance of osmanthus, Li Yu remembered that it was already the tenth day of July, and the Ghost Festival was coming soon.

"Aqing, the Ghost Festival is coming in a few days. When you return to Kyoto, remember to buy things for the sacrifice. While your brother-in-law is here, we will go to town tomorrow to prepare ingot paper money for the sacrifice."

"Sister, my uncle reminded me yesterday and asked you if you would go back to Kyoto during the Ghost Festival?"

Li Yu didn't want to go back to socialize with others, and felt tired and flustered, "No, I plan to go back before you get married. You and I don't understand. When the time comes, you can invite Aunt Yang to your house for guidance, so as not to lose etiquette. "

"Sister, if Aunt Yang wants to help in the house, she doesn't need to go to my house," Li Qing smiled. "If your mother-in-law says you don't understand anything, just ask her. If you can't, send a mother-in-law to come over and help. My aunt also said that you She is inconvenienced, and she will go to my place to help when the time comes.”
