The current patriarch of the Qin family is Qin Xinfang's nephew Qin Chengyu, who happens to be the same generation as Gu Jingyun, but he is seven or eight years older than Qin Xinfang, and he is already past the age of knowing the destiny.

  The direct descendants of the Qin family have always produced talents, but they have not had many children. The five generations are single-handed, and even the life expectancy is not long except for Qin Zhengze.

Qin Xinfang's father Qin Wentian also died of illness a few years after his grandfather Qin Zhengze passed away. Qin Xinfang, who was a young man at the time, took over as the patriarch, but in fact, he also handed over most of the family affairs to the loyal servants of the family for a year. I only asked three or two times to make sure that there were no omissions.

   After he was exiled, the position of the patriarch naturally disappeared, and the clan elected Qin Chengyu as the patriarch.

  When the house was raided back then, it was only the property of the direct branch, and the collateral branch was not damaged. And this time, Gu Jingyun didn't plan to hand over the ancestral property to Qin Chengyu, but planned to gather the old servants and family relatives who helped, and let them help manage it.

Although things happened urgently back then, Qin Xinfang had already sent people to release most of the servants when he decided to commit crimes in the palace, and some servants were properly arranged. Even if the Qin family could not turn over, they could leave a message for Qin Wenyin. help.

   Qin Xinfang's plan was very good, but it was a pity that things developed worse and faster than he expected. He couldn't arrange Qin Wenyin in the future, and those hidden servants naturally did not connect with Qin Wenyin.

   Gu Jingyun came here this time to find them out, and to re-entrust them with important tasks after the assessment.

   There are also those relatives who have been dependent on the direct branch for generations. If they are still interested, Gu Jingyun will also arrange the work after the assessment.

   As for Qin Chengyu, he was the patriarch of the Qin clan, and Gu Jingyun had to see him.

But he didn't expect Qin Chengyu to go into the city before him to see him. Gu Jingyun was still a little confused because he just got up. He glanced out the window and saw that although it was already bright, it was not too late, so he said, "Please go to the private room, my cousin. Let Xiao Er treat you well, and talk about it after I've cleaned up."

  Li Baolu yawned and got up from the bed with difficulty, "Didn't we say we will go to Qinjiacun to visit him today? Why did he come in person?"

   Yesterday, she fought for a long time, her back was sore, and she could not wait to be nailed to the bed today.

  Gu Jingyun said while putting on his clothes: "Because of my uncle Qifu and my identity."

  Gu Jingyun is the teacher of the prince. If there is no accident, he will be the teacher of the emperor when the prince ascends the throne.

   And Qin Chengyu is just a great man.

  Li Baolu did not dare to neglect Qin Chengyu, and took care of herself quickly. Uncle Qin's study was also open to her. He never avoided her when he taught Gu Jingyun. Although she rarely read the correspondence, she probably knew who sent it.

   While they were in Qiongzhou for fifteen years, the Qin clan of Runing did not send a letter to Qiongzhou, but the Qin clan who were officials in other places contacted Qin Xinfang from time to time, and sometimes sent some money and goods there.

   What makes Li Baolu suspicious the most is that when Qin Xinfang entrusted the Qin family with a collection of books, he divided them into several copies and hid them with a few close friends, of which Runing Qin did not get any of them.

   This means that Qin Xinfang does not trust the Qin family, or that he does not believe that he is an offshoot of the Qin family who controls the family affairs.

   That's why Li Baolu didn't dare to treat the people waiting outside as his cousins.

  The two of them dressed in new clothes before moving to the box. Qin Chengyu had already had a cup of tea. At this time, he was staring at the teapot in front of him. He smiled when he saw the box door open, and looked over with a smile.

   When he saw the handsome and handsome Gu Jingyun, he was slightly taken aback, then got up with a smile and said, "Cousin Gu is very similar to Uncle Ninth..."

  Gu Jingyun saluted with a faint smile, "Third cousin, this is my wife."

   Qin Chengyu then looked at Li Baolu behind him and smiled: "I heard that my younger brother and sister are from the Shunde Li clan. The ancestors have a golden needle in their hands, and their hands are rejuvenated. The ninth uncle and the twelfth aunt relied on their ancestors to take care of them in Qiongzhou."

  Li Baolu bowed slightly and said, "The third cousin is very polite, it is the duty of a healer to treat and save people."

  The two sides greeted each other before taking their seats. Qin Chengyu said to Gu Jingyun: "Ninth Uncle's grievance is really a blessing from heaven. Yingzhi County began to return the property that Qin's had stolen since the first emperor ordered him to recall the ninth uncle."

Qin Chengyu sighed slightly and said, "In those days when the ninth uncle suffered this disaster, the family was unable to help. After the house was raided, in order not to let the ancestral property fall into the hands of others, the fields and shops near Runing were all redeemed by the Qin family. It's not a shame to our ancestors."

Gu Jingyun got up and saluted in a moved manner: "It turns out that the property of the direct line has been redeemed by the third cousin? Thank you, the third cousin, so I don't have to worry about the ancestral property being managed in a mess, and when I gather the family servants and relatives, They can take over sooner."

   choked all Qin Chengyu's words in his chest, his eyes were slightly cold, but he nodded and smiled: "Cousin has a plan, I'm still worried that you are young and have no charter."

"My little brother doesn't have many regulations, but my uncle and aunt told me one by one before I went out. I just did it." Gu Jingyun smiled and said, "If there is anything that is not thoughtful, please ask the third cousin to point out. After all, my uncle is far away in the capital. , there is always something wrong with the situation here.”

   Qin Chengyu twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "I think my cousin handled it very well. No wonder the world praises you as a young and talented young man. You were named the prince's teacher by the late emperor at a young age."

   "It was just a fluke."

  How could it be a fluke, when Qin Xinfang was still a sinner, he was able to pass the exam under the eyes of the late emperor and let the late emperor preside over his grandson as his teacher, how could Qin Chengyu dare to despise him.

   Therefore, after receiving the news yesterday, he personally welcomed him this morning, not only to test his attitude, but also to express his solemnity.

   The confrontation just now let him know that Gu Jingyun is not a bad temper, and he is not even as generous as his uncle.

   Qin Chengyu suppressed a lot of thoughts in his chest and concentrated on dealing with Gu Jingyun.

   "Then I'll go back and prepare first, and let the people meet you at the entrance of the village."

   Gu Jingyun said with a smile: "Why is it so troublesome, I'm only a junior, I don't dare to work your grandfathers and uncles, I'll go with the third cousin, I heard that the third cousin is good at chess, I need to ask for some advice."

   Qin Chengyu twitched the corners of his mouth, junior?

   The eldest in the clan is the uncle of the same generation as Qin Xinfang. He is 78 years old this year and is also Gu Jingyun's uncle.

   As for the ancestors, none of the Qin family survived.

   On the contrary, there is a group of juniors waiting to greet Gu Jingyun.

   For example, his son, a 36-year-old middle-aged man, when he saw Gu Jingyun, a hairless boy, he had to respectfully call him "cousin".

   And there are also many younger generations around his age. Even if they have become grandfathers or even great-grandfathers, when they see Gu Jingyun, a teenager who may be only as old as a grandson, they have to call him "cousin" or even "cousin-uncle".

   It was also because of Gu Jingyun's high seniority that Qin Xinfang could let him come to Runing with confidence. The most important thing in the clan is the seniority.

   When an old man with gray hair sees a child who is babbling and learning to speak, even if the age and experience are there, in front of the seniority, regardless of whether the child can understand or not, the old man has to salute the child.

  So when Gu Jingyun and the others arrived at Qinjia Village, the patriarch's wife, the Jiang family, was leading a group of people from Wu Yaya to greet him at the entrance of the village.

   It is said to be a village, but in fact it is not much different from a city.

  The Qin family is a prominent family in Runing. The family tree has been verified for nearly 800 years. Over the past 800 years, the clan has multiplied and expanded.

   In addition to the Qin clan, there were also their servants and tenant farmers who depended on them.

  The roads are spacious and clean, and the houses are lined up in an orderly manner, which makes the audience feel solemn and simple.

Gu Jingyun glanced at the well-kept farmland on both sides, and said softly: "The Qin family is a family heirloom, so when my mother married Gu Huaijin, everyone felt it was a pity. The world once said that there are four kinds of family heirlooms in the world, morality, farming and reading. , Poetry and wealth, among them, the most difficult and difficult to inherit the family, the next is the cultivation and reading, the third is the poetry and the last, and the last is wealth. Although Gu Houye's character is not very good, he is very good at this point. With foresight, the Gu family took a big step forward by marrying my mother. Gu Huaijin's future is part of it, and the upbringing of the descendants and the success of the family are also a big part of the reason. If Gu Huaijin doesn't act stupid, even if my uncle can't be rehabilitated, the Gu family's The difficulties are only ten years, and if you get through it, you can make a big step forward.”

   "What a pity..." Li Baolu sighed for him.

   Gu Jingyun shook his head with a smile, "It's a pity for the Gu family, but it's a blessing for the mother. Although the process is hard, it's better than staying in the Gu family."

Gu Jingyun stroked her hair and said, "I tell you this not to feel sorry for the Gu family, but to tell you that the Qin family is serious, powerful, and has great rules. In our hearts, Qin Gu is a family, but only me. With you, Qin is only the direct descendant of the Qin family, and with the entire Ru Ning Qin family, we are just guests. So if you can bear it for a few days, let me know if you can't bear it, and I will call you back."

   Li Baolu stopped the carriage before he could answer. Gu Jingyun withdrew his hand, lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage first, then turned around to help Li Baolu.

Jiang shi kept watching with a smile, and when Li Baolu stood firm, she stepped forward to grab her hand and looked at her, "This is my cousin, she looks really handsome, no wonder your uncle let you marry early, because he was afraid that Jun's daughter-in-law would run away. ?"

  Li Baolu bowed her head shyly just right, perfectly transformed from a chilling heroine to a weak daughter-in-law.

   Jiang shi took her hand and said with a smile: "Since my cousin and sister are here in Runing, let's stay for a while longer, and let us do our best as landlords."

   turned his head and smiled with Gu Jingyun: "Cousin is the first time to come to Runing, right? Go back and let your nephews show you around, there are many interesting places for Runing."

   Gu Jingyun smiled and acted impeccably, "Then Jingyun would like to thank Mrs. Sanbiao for the hospitality. When I have time, I will find a few nephews to play with. Then don't blame my sister-in-law for taking them out of business."

   "No, no," Jiang said with a smile: "You are a high school champion at the age of fifteen. It's their chance to play with you. I can't ask for it."
