When Duanmu Reservoir said this, he couldn't help but have doubts in his eyes. Xin Ran saw it in his eyes and explained with a smile: "Don't hide it from Brother Duanmu." Although I am the grandson of the protector of the country and the son of the army master, I am the young prince and the little prince in your mouth. But before I was born, my brother who was born before me died. After I was born, my grandmother said that she was a good living person, and she had been living in the villa with me, and she hardly lived in the house, and she didn't know about the troubles in the house. ”

"Oh, I see. Duanmu Pond smiled with relief.

"Hey, don't talk about that. Xin Ran waved his hand, smiled bitterly, and made up his mind: "Since this is the case, it means that I, the nominal father-in-law, should not be the ungrateful villain, and the worst plan will probably not fall into the ground." Brother Duanmu, you wait, I'll try it over. ”

"No, brother, this is not good!" Duanmu Pond hurriedly stopped Xin Ran and said with a smile: "You can't just pass like this." ”

"How do you have to get there?" Xin Ran asked, puzzled.

Duanmu Pond said: "Brother, you are the son of the Protector's Mansion, and you are also the guest and aunt set by Master Zhu's family. If you go to confess your relatives empty, you will be looked down upon. ”

Xin Ran smiled bitterly: "What should I do? I am penniless now, and I have no money to buy gifts." ”

Duanmu Pond smiled: "It's not about gifts. It is often said that an emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. It's not anything else, it's a shelf. Although the brothers did not have gifts, they could not lose their shelves. ”

"Skinny donkeys pull hard, don't they? But I have to have this hard too!" Xin Ran laughed at himself.

"Hehe, that's not the way it goes. Duanmu Reservoir said happily: "I mean, when the brothers come to the door, don't speak." Put on a delicate posture, and I pretended to be my brother's long-term follower, and stepped forward to report. In this way, he will not lose his brother's status as a petite. ”

"Then I will be wronged Brother Duanmu!" Xin Ran hugged his fists and thanked him.

"We are brothers at first sight, so don't be polite!" Duanmu Pond said: "Especially for a while, don't dare to be polite to me." Otherwise, it won't look good if the horse's feet are exposed. ”

"Say no more. The friendship of my brother is in my heart!" Xin Ran said solemnly, and slapped his body. tidied up his clothes, shook his spirits, held his head high, walked out of the alley, and strode towards Zhu Taishi's mansion.

Duanmu Reservoir trotted, crossed Xin Ran, ran to the bottom of the steps of the white marble gate, stood still, saluted the family members above, and said loudly: "Hello everyone! We are here to visit relatives, please report to which adult." ”

"Oh, it's really unfortunate!" Jia Dingtou looked at Xin Ran carefully, and said with a smile: "The Taishi family has gone to Dongyue to make incense." There is no one in charge of the house. We're sorry that we can't be the master of the reception!"

Xin Ran looked at each other at the same end of the wooden pond. Thousands of calculations, but I didn't count it, and people were not at home.

"When will the nobles of Nafu come back?" asked Duanmu Pond.

"If it's fast, it's three months, and if it's slow, it's not possible. I heard that the imperial court intends to let the Taishi envoy to Chaoyang Kingdom, if it really happens. It will take three to five years at the earliest. Jia Ding replied with a smile.

"Childe, this, how can this be a good ......" Duanmu Pond was dumbfounded, looking at Xin Ran's decision.

Xin Ran smiled helplessly: "Since the master is not here, I have to go back and talk about it." ”

Xin Ran clenched his fists and arched his hands, and said with a sneer: "Then there is Lao Guijie! ”

"Childe and so on. The head of the family called Xin Ran to stop and gave another family a look.

The housekeeper quickly ran into the door, ran out in a blink of an eye, held a small red paper bag in both hands, and respectfully handed it to Xin Ran.

"This is ......" Xin Ran was puzzled.

The head of the family said with a smile: "Son, please don't be surprised! When the head of the family left, he once ordered. I was afraid that there would be no one to entertain relatives and friends from afar, so I told us that whenever relatives and friends came, they would give relatives and friends a little Chengyi, so as not to be inconvenient for a while. Please also ask the son to smile. ”

Xin Ran smiled bitterly and looked at Duanmu Pond, I don't know if I took this money, whether it was off the shelf.

Seeing this, Duanmu Pond stepped forward and said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Sect! It's better for me to collect it. ”

Xin Ran arched his hand at will, turned around and strode away. Duanmu Reservoir received Cheng Yi and retired with a gift.

Seeing Xin Ran go away. The head of the family who received them stepped into the gate, and immediately one of the family members came out and filled his place.

The man took off his knife and strode towards the inner courtyard.

"Good girl, get rich!" Out of the sight of the family, Duanmu Pond opened the red paper bag, and it was fifty taels of silver.

"This little bit of silver will make you rich?" Xin Ran shook his head disappreciatively and said, "Last time, I earned hundreds of thousands of taels with one handful. ”

"What? hundreds of thousands of taels? Obediently, it can't be piled up into a hill?" Duanmu Pond smacked his tongue. After a pause, he smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid of my son and brother laughing." I've never touched silver when I've grown so big. They all use copper coins, and this is the first time they have touched silver. Obediently, it's still a big piece of silver! Why do you use a big piece of silver? It can't be a fake mile, right?"

"Then you can touch it. Xin Ran smiled bitterly with a little frustration: "I finally remembered a father-in-law, who came here and fooled fifty taels of silver." Who's going to help me meet my father?"

"Brother, think about it, your grandparents have been the army leader for so many years, the protector of the country, and your father is the unparalleled martial artist in the world, so he will never marry you such a father-in-law......"

"Then you can get a hundred and eighty zhangren?" Xin Ran interrupted Duanmu Pond and smiled bitterly.

"Hehe, a poor man is a poor man. Duanmu Pond laughed at himself: "Fifty taels of silver, let me turn upside down." I'm saying that your father and grandmother must still have a lot of old knowledge in Beijing. When the brother thought about it, he remembered. ”

Xin Ran said with a sad face: "Didn't I tell you, I have always lived in the countryside, and I rarely ask about the affairs of the house." If I want to say that I know all the people I know, I should know them all. As long as I shout at the top of my voice, I will report to my home. I'm afraid that in the entire capital, there are no officials I don't know. But the question is, which one is reliable, which one will help me, and which one is willing to help me, I don't know anything!"

"Brother, don't worry. The living will not be suffocated by urine, there will be a way. Duanmu Pond comforted him hollowly, and then handed the silver to Xin Ran: "Brother, you keep this silver." ”

Ling Yun waved his hand and said with a self-deprecating wry smile: "This son removes knives, guns, pen and ink, and never touches the smell of copper. It's better for my brother to take it. ”

"No, the big silver is in my arms, and I can't sleep peacefully. Duanmu Pond shook his head repeatedly.
