Mr. Du had a good relationship with Xia Xia, so he knew more, and said, "He felt bad when there was no news from Zhou Yin and his wife after they left for a year, so he took advantage of the convenience of managing it for him and rented a shop by himself.

, asked his son to leave his original employer’s family to work alone, and rented all the fields to their Xia clan leader..."

Magistrate Zhai thought for a moment and understood. He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Master Xia is smart. In this way, even if the fields are divided, they should not be divided too scattered."

"Yes, I heard that the three fields are now in the hands of the Xia clan leader. Another one has been divided into half and is specially used as a sacrificial field. The other half is distributed to each family. The remaining one seems to be

Xu Lichang bought it."

In other words, at least two pieces are easily recoverable, as long as Chief Xu Li and Chief Xia agree.

Magistrate Zhai felt that this matter was almost certain.

At this time, Xia Xia was also carefully explaining to Man Bao the details of the property division twelve years ago, "Because Xia Yi's family is the closest to your grandfather, and Xia Yi's father and your grandfather are the same great ancestor, so at that time the people of Songhua Lane

The house was directly given to him, but the land was taken back to the clan..."

If he hadn't occupied the shop in advance and wouldn't move or give it away even if he was killed, and he was also a famous silversmith in Shangzhou, and his employer was somewhat powerful, I'm afraid the shop wouldn't have been saved.

But in recent years, the clan members have said whatever they want, and Xia Xia's reputation has become much worse.

He said to Zhou Man: "I have set aside the annual rent of the shop separately, and it is collected by your parents."

Man Bao nodded, without saying whether he wanted it or not. He just asked, "I don't know where my grandparents are buried. I want to see them."

Xia Xia nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, it should be buried on Da'an Mountain outside the city. When you leave the city, don't go up the mountain. You must go first..."

Xia Xia explained in detail how to leave, then paused and said, "Why don't we go up the mountain together tomorrow."

He said: "People from Hongtian Village can't come so quickly. They can't enter the city until noon at the earliest. We can go to worship in the morning."

Man Bao nodded with a smile and responded. Then he saw that he seemed to be out of breath and said, "Uncle Xia, why don't you take your pulse?"

Xia Xia then smiled and said: "I am not your uncle, but your uncle. I am two years older than your grandfather."

Man Bao was surprised. According to this statement, her grandfather did die young.

Xia Xia also wanted to spend more time with Zhou Man, mainly because he still had many things to ask her, so he reached out to see her and kept asking her questions, "Are your uncles and aunts good to you?"

Man Bao nodded, "Okay, I never thought before that I was not their child."

That's really good.

Xia Xia felt a little better, and asked again: "Looking at it, you are about to get haircut, right?"

Man Bao nodded, "I will be fifteen by the time winter comes."

Xia Xia sighed and said: "Okay, okay, you have grown up, who decided your marriage?"

While speaking, he also glanced at Bai Shan.

Bai Shan smiled politely at him.

Man Bao said: "My uncle and aunt decided it."

She said: "We grew up together and had the same teacher."

Xia Xia could only nod. In fact, he wanted to ask, why are you still surnamed Zhou? Why don't you change your surname back to Xia?

But after all, they had just met, and the child was afraid that he was still a stranger to him, so it would be difficult for him to speak.

Man Bao saw that he was silent, so he asked him some questions, how much he eats every day, and how much he can eat in each meal...

After asking clearly, Manbao stood up with a smile and said, "It's getting late now. I think my uncle is also sleepy. Why don't we go home and rest first. We'll see you tomorrow."

Xia Xia quickly said: "You guys come home with me. Once you get home, you can't live outside anymore. I'll ask your great-aunt to clean up the room, and you can live at home."

Manbao refused and said: "My uncle, aunt, and several brothers are here this time. There are so many people, so it's not easy to come and disturb us. Now we live in Fulai Inn. If my uncle has anything to do, he can send someone to find us there."

Just ask the Zhou family and they will know."

Xia Xia was stunned, "Your uncle and aunt are here too?"

"Yes," Man Bao said, "After all, I was too young when I left home and couldn't remember anything. They were afraid that I wouldn't be found, so they accompanied me here."

Xia Xia looked at her age and felt that what she said was right, but thinking about her performance and ability just now, he felt that this was not the reason.

However, he was really exhausted today. Just thinking about these things made him extremely tired. Now he was lying on the wicker chair and didn't have much energy left to talk.

Man Bao naturally noticed it and turned around and went out to have Xia Xia carried back.

Magistrate Zhai had also finished asking questions, and was leading Mr. Du and Mr. Zhu over, so he simply let them go together, and even Xu Lichang, who was standing in the corridor, let go.

Watching a group of them heading out together, Man Bao thought for a while and stopped the servants of Xia Xia's family, saying, "You guys can wait a while before leaving."

Then he turned to look at Daji and asked him to fetch their umbrellas, and asked a guard to hold an umbrella for Xia Xia and escort Xia Xia back.

In order to avoid conflicts between Xia Xia and Xu Lizhang, Xia Xia's current body is not very strong.

The servants of the Xia family agreed and waited for a while before going out. When they went out, they walked slowly and in no hurry.

Magistrate Zhai waited for them to leave, then turned around and invited Zhou Man and others in. He briefly told her the inside story he had found out, and then asked: "How does Mr. Zhou want to handle this matter?"

It seems like she can handle it however she wants.

Manbao stood for a while and then said: "I want to see the tombs of my grandparents first."

"It's easy to say," Magistrate Zhai said, "Is it okay for me to ask an officer to show you the way?"

Zhou Manxiao: "Thank you very much, parents."

Magistrate Zhai smiled and said: "Master Zhou is too polite. I think the sun is setting soon. Why don't we go tomorrow? The county will hold a banquet in the mansion tonight to cleanse the dust of the three of us."

Man Bao declined. She wanted to go take a look now and then go home to discuss the matter with her parents.

Seeing that she was anxious, Magistrate Zhai understood her, so he kept her for a while and sent her out.

Seeing the four masters and servants running away on horseback following the government servants he assigned them, he stroked his beard and turned back to his house.

The master said: "Sir, will Mr. Xia spit out the meat in his mouth?"

Magistrate Zhai sighed and said: "Who knows, this county has already done this, whether it is for the Xia family or the surrounding people, Xiao Zhou. What happens in the end depends on their own game."

The master said: "Although it is understandable that Zhou Yin and his wife did not return to the clan for fourteen years, those fields and houses have been allocated to the clan for twelve years after all. Even if the master sentenced them to return to the clan, if the Xia family refused, they would only
