After a day of running around and a night of hard work, Guan Zhuofan slept soundly, and when he woke up, he saw that it was already three poles in the sun, but Bai was no longer around. Stretched two lazy waists, and was about to get up, but saw Bai Shi enter the room with a smile, walked to the bedside, and said, "Wake up?" You've slept soundly. I told my subordinates to be careful, for fear of waking you up. ”

Guan Zhuofan saw that her face was white and red, and it seemed to increase the color by three points, and thought to himself, a woman's family just can't do without the watering of aiqing. Responding with a mum in his mouth, he suddenly reached out from the quilt to catch her, but she was dexterous and dodged, and pretended to be angry: "It's so uneasy and kind, last night was not enough for you to be tired...... blushing and stopped talking.

Guan Zhuofan sighed and muttered, "The spring night is short, why is it dawning...... What's so delicious? ”

"Hurry up, I have prepared your favorite pickles, rice porridge and mutton buns for you." After Bai finished speaking, he pointed to a stack of things on the low tabletop at the head of the bed, blushed and said, "Just know how to do bad things, and don't care about serious things?" Yesterday's envelopes and lists, just left on the ground. ”

Guan Zhuofan remembered Libin's letter, his spirits perked up, he sat up, and smiled at Bai's: "Shuangshuang, I'm going to get dressed, don't look at it secretly." "The gesture is to lift the quilt. Bai naturally knew that he was naked, so he was startled and said, "Phew, is it so rare?" He turned around and flown away.

Guan Zhuofan smiled, put on his clothes first, and then took the big envelope, tore it along the seal, and took out the letterhead to look carefully.

The letter is written by Libin himself, and he writes very politely on his head, calling him "Brother Yixuan". He took Xiaotangchun from Beijing in December last year, first to Tianjin, and then took a foreign company's ship at Dagukou, went south along the coast, and smoothly arrived at the Shanghai concession.

As for the two pieces of calligraphy and painting entrusted, one of them has already been sold, "Yuzhang's old book is folded into silver, and one of the three is used by my brother's family." That is to say, Huang Tingjian's cursive "Cloud Fu" has been sold. Guan Zhuofan thought to himself, he had originally instructed him that the money from the sale was used for his expenses, but now he took out a third of it and sent it to himself to spend, which shows that he has sold a lot of silver.

So, how many are there, exactly? Guan Zhuofan poured out the envelope, and sure enough, he poured out a stack of silver tickets, five hundred taels and counted them, a total of twelve tickets, six thousand taels. In other words, the painting was sold for as much as 18,000 taels.

Guan Zhuofan felt that he really didn't see the wrong person, he just laughed at Libin secretly, and said it so vaguely, what is the "old book of Yuzhang", if he didn't know what it meant, how could he think of Huang Tingjian and such a cold nickname? He also dared to boast that he himself did not have the habit of being a pedantic scholar.

However, after thinking about it again, it suddenly dawned on him that Elibin's ability, of course, had already seen that these two calligraphy and paintings were not their own family heirlooms, but the authentic works of the imperial collection. The reason why he wrote the letter so obscurely was precisely because he would not cause trouble for the "owner" if it fell into the hands of others.

There are two things that can be seen from here, one is that Libin doesn't care how things come from, and is only loyal to Guan Zhuofan's trust; The second is that Libin is meticulous and meticulous, and he is a person who can be trusted.

Looking at the end of the letter, it reads "Libin and his wife Ning Shi Dun Bai Bai", and below is the address in the concession.

"With Mrs.", this payment is rare. It turned out that Xiao Tangchun was surnamed Ning, and Libin didn't take her as a concubine, but actually treated her as a main house. Guan Zhuofan thought that Libin could be regarded as enjoying the blessings, but compared to himself, it was quite inferior. If Bai's is the national color, then Xiaotangchun has to be regarded as a state color and a provincial color.

Thinking like this, Guan Zhuofan was in a good mood, put away the silver ticket, shook it out of the room, and walked in the direction of the main hall. There is his favorite mutton bun there, and he has to maintain his full physical strength, and he has to be busy these few nights.

In the next few days, Guan Zhuofan really lived a life of "not envious of mandarin ducks and not envy immortals". During the day, I slept lazily until the red sun shone, ate and drank, and at night I became fierce, hugging the Bai family and enjoying my warmth.

"Shuangshuang, you said that I was with my eldest brother...... Which one is ......" This night, he hesitated several times, but he couldn't avoid the vulgarity, but he still asked in a hurry.

Being in bed, of course, he asked about the bed, what did Bai Shi say? After a long pause, he said in a very small voice: "When I married into your Guan family, Zhuo Ying's health was already bad, and you didn't know it...... Altogether only ...... Three or four ......"

Guan Zhuofan was relieved, and at the same time ashamed of his next work. He thought, no wonder the Bai family didn't give birth to a child, which made Zhuo Ren and his wife catch the truth, and she really couldn't blame her. Gently stroked Bai's soft lower abdomen with his hand, and laughed quietly: "Shuangshuang, I'll let you give birth to a big fat boy and renew the incense for the Guan family, okay?" ”

Good is good, it's just ...... Bai sighed softly and said, "It's probably because I feel ashamed in my heart, these days, I always feel that the way they look at me is weird." ”

"Well," Guan Zhuofan nodded, "I know, it's all up to me." ”

The next day, he got up early in the morning, dressed in all official uniforms, hung up a knife and a hat, and had breakfast in the hall, so he ordered Tuber to call all the people in the house to the main courtyard. Túrin heard his father say that Guan Zhuofan was wearing an official uniform, so he was also fully clothed, ran over, and stood aside to stand aside.

The cold weather in spring is still expected. Guan Zhuofan paced around in front of the hall with his hands on his hands, but he didn't speak, just looked at everyone standing in front of him. The people didn't know what he was going to do, so they stood in a row, all of them hunched over, so nervous that they didn't dare to come out. Bai didn't know which play he was going to play, so he sat in the hall with his sister and listened to the movement outside.

"I'm a soldier," Guan Zhuofan finally opened his mouth and said unhurriedly, "In the barracks, there are two words: rules." If you are good, everyone is a brother, if you make meritorious service, you will naturally be rewarded, if you make a mistake, then you should be beaten, and you should be punished. ”

"However, some mistakes can be made, and some mistakes cannot be made." He glanced around the crowd with a sharp eye before he continued, "Under my hands, there are five or six hundred people, all of whom are military men who kill people without blinking, outlaws. When I was free, I drank and fought, and gambled for money, and all those who broke these rules were tied up, and when the bates were finished, I treated them as brothers. However, if anyone can't control his mouth, and takes his own military affairs outside to show off, or even spreads it to the enemy, then I can't help it, I'll clean you up to death! ”

Everyone was shocked by the fierce tone of his words, but Guan Zhuofan didn't seem to see it, and continued to talk to himself.

"There are rules in the barracks, but are there any rules at home? There are also. In the barracks, I am the chief officer, and I have the final say in everything. In this family, Mrs. is the master, and what she says is Ling! As for you—" he raised his hand and gestured in a circle, "some of you I pulled out of the fire pit, and some of you have encountered insurmountable hurdles, and I helped you get through them, so it can be seen that we have fate, and I will not treat you as outsiders." From today onwards, everyone's monthly silver will be increased by 30%! In the future, if anyone does a good job and makes his wife happy, it will be a meritorious service, and I will also have a reward! ”

The eyes of the people showed a look of surprise, but no one dared to speak, and they all listened obediently.

"It's not just money," Guan Zhuofan pointed to the standing Tulin, "A few days ago, I knew that Tubo was crying, weishenme was crying?" My son has a chance! Túrin has been with me for three months, and now he is an upright military attache of the imperial court, and in the future, I will be able to promote him! weishenme？ Because he knows to listen to his master's words, knows how to do things well for his master, and knows that he protects the master, who will he promote if I don't promote him? ”

So everyone secretly looked at Tulin, who was dressed as a military attaché, and the envy in their hearts couldn't help but be colorful. Thurin only looked at Guan Zhuofan, holding the handle of the knife, standing motionless like a javelin.

"But there is one thing, if someone doesn't take this family in charge and dares to take the affairs of the family outside to chew their tongues, then they have made a mistake that cannot be made, and I have only one way to punish you-" Guan Zhuofan took out the knife, and with a throw of it, the saber was firmly rooted on the ground, and the slender blade shook gently, just reflecting the sunlight on the faces of a row of people, "I will set up a tablet for you here, every year and today, three knives of paper, and a stick of incense!" ”

The row of people below lowered their bodies in unison, half a head shorter, and there were two maids, who were even more frightened and turned white, almost crying.

"Okay, heaven and hell are all just a thought, you can do it yourself." Guan Zhuofan softened his face, dropped his schoolbag, and waved his hand, "Besides, I'm not young anymore, don't call me young master in the future." ”

If you don't shout young master, then what should you shout? However, no one dared to ask him, and they all dispersed cautiously. Bai, who was breathless in the hall, was happy and shy, thinking: Is it to let people call him master? It's also too ......

Only Tuber knew it, and after retreating, he told them one by one.

From this day on, the people in the Guan family's mansion used a loud but ambiguous word to call Guan Zhuofan.

Father.
