The magistrate of Tang County asked the master to take people to count the wheat seeds, check the quality, and then put them into the treasury after confirming that they were correct. He took them to settle the money on the spot.

Chief Ding looked at the bill carefully, then looked at Magistrate Tang and hesitated: "This..."

Magistrate Tang said with a smile: "Pay it to them. A batch of wheat seeds will come in a few days. It's still cash on delivery. Don't default."

Seeing Magistrate Tang's insistence, Chief Ding could only bow his head and agree.

Of course, it was impossible to use copper plates to settle accounts in the government office. Chief Ding asked people to bring out the silver ingots. Man Bao and others couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw it.

Zhou Lijun looked at his uncle and father, then at his sister-in-law. After getting her nod, he took the account book and went up to count the accounts.

The accounts were settled quickly.

Zhou Dalang and Zhou Erlang found two large sackcloths out of nowhere and put all the silver in the box into the sackcloths.

Zhou Lang took out two ingots of silver and said: "Third brother, fifth brother, let's go exchange for copper coins. Lijun, you take your father and the others home first. I'll go back with the copper coins later to distribute the money."

Zhou Lijun responded.

Zhou Dalang asked: "Where is Man Bao?"

Man Bao was talking to Magistrate Tang. Magistrate Tang said: "The people who robbed your brother have been caught, but the wheat seeds they robbed have long been mixed with their own seeds. I guess you won't be able to use them."

Already."

"However, I will award them compensation," County Magistrate Tang said with a smile: "Now that they have been caught, the lawbreakers along the way have been deterred, and you can safely transport the goods."

Man Bao naturally agreed happily.

Seeing her leaving happily, Magistrate Tang smiled slightly.

This matter is over with Manbao and the others, but it has just begun for them.

But Man Bao didn't know anything about it at this moment. She ran home happily and saw that Zhou Lang had already exchanged 20,000 yuan and was paying everyone's wages.

Chen Erlang and his companions each earn eighty cents a day, three days equals two hundred and forty cents, while San'er and the others receive half that amount for six.

The people they invited from the village were more expensive, one hundred cash per person per day, but their accounts were settled after they returned home.

Zhou Lang handed the remaining copper coins to Zhou Dalang, and then said: "You guys can rest for the night after eating. We will leave early tomorrow morning. I have rented a yard in the alley next door for everyone to live in."

This big guy is naturally from their village.

Chen Erlang and others took the money and said goodbye and went home, making an appointment to meet at the city gate early tomorrow morning.

Cars and horses also need to be arranged, and there are a lot of trivial things. Even with Zhou Lijun's help, Zhou Lang is still too busy.

After he had arranged everyone and only their brothers were left in the whole yard, he had time to see his wife.

Mrs. Fang had been standing aside with her child waiting for him. As soon as the two of them met their eyes, they couldn't help but burst into tears.

Madam Fang reached out and touched his immobilized hand distressedly, and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Zhou Lang shook his head, then nodded fiercely, and whispered: "It hurts, especially when Man Bao is setting the bones."

Fang was startled and looked at his arm more and more preciously, "The bones are still crooked?"

"It's crooked, so we need to straighten the bones."

Fang couldn't help but cursed: "What a group of murderers. They just grab things, so why do they beat people?"

Zhou Lang nodded with deep understanding.

Bai Shan and Man Bao sat on the steps with their chins propped up, looking at the two of them, their heads turning around uncontrollably.

In fact, they didn't want to see it, but the two of them happened to be standing in front of them talking, so they couldn't even think about it.

Bai Shan also had a lot of contact with Zhou Lang. In particular, Man Bao often talked about Zhou Lang, so he was surprised, "I feel like Brother Zhou has changed."

Man Bao: "Fifth brother said that all men who get married are like this."

Bai Shan trembled and said, "It's too scary."

Man Bao nodded with deep understanding.

Bai Erlang was rummaging through his luggage on the bullock cart. With the help of Big Tou and Er Tou, he finally dug out the things his grandmother and parents had prepared for him.

Seeing that Bai Shan was still sitting in a daze, he waved and said, "Shanbao, hurry up. My cousin and aunt have also prepared something for you. Come and see what it is?"

The second one dug out a box and a baggage and carried them down the driveway: "Here, these are the two."

Bai Shan was very tired from serving the guests just now, so he stood up lazily and said, "It's just food and drink, what else can you get?"

Zhou Dalang heard this and then remembered something, "By the way, young master, Mrs. Liu also wrote you a letter."

He quickly handed over the wrapped letter from his chest and said with a simple smile: "I forgot about it when I was busy just now."

Bai Shan quickly took the letter and said with a smile: "There is no rush now."

Bai Shan opened the letter and read it. After a while, he let out a sigh.

Man Bao sat on the steps and spread his arms and legs and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Shan took the letter and looked at Yan's house next door and asked: "Isn't it No. 8, Lane 1, Kangxue Street next door?"

Man Bao thought for a while and nodded: "It seems so."

It seems that someone who came to build the wall mentioned it.

Bai Shan handed the family letter to Man Bao, "Look, my grandmother said that an uncle in my family went to work in Yizhou City, so the family moved to No. 8, Lane 1, Kangxue Street, because my grandmother lived close to Yizhou.

The city of Zhou is not very far away. They invited my grandmother to come to the gathering during the winter solstice, and our relatives and friends from the Bai family in Yizhou will all go."

Man Bao was surprised, "It turns out that the Bai family who just moved in next door are your relatives."

Bai Shan himself was surprised.

The two of them looked at each other and couldn't help but touch their chins and thought, since they are relatives, it should be okay for them to use their wall to practice their feet occasionally, right?

The two of them shook their heads and threw away the strange thoughts in their heads, and then Manbao asked: "I saw that the next door has been very lively recently. It must be under renovation. When the whole family moves in, do we have to bring back gifts to congratulate them?"

?”

Bai Shan put away the letter and said, "Let's talk about it then."

Man Bao looked at him for a while, and even Bai Erlang couldn't help turning his head and asked, "You don't have a good relationship with their family."

Bai Shan thought about it carefully and said, "I don't recognize their family. Although they are members of the clan, it's not good to come to them rashly."

However, the relationship between their family and their clan members is not very good.

He was too young when he left Longzhou. He only knew that his family was bullied by his clan members. There were some scenes of being bullied in his memory, but he couldn't remember who it was.

Moreover, that's all he saw, and there were still things he didn't see.

Although my grandmother mentioned this in the letter, she didn't ask him to visit her at home. Even my great-aunt, who seemed to have a good relationship with her, had only asked Daji to come to Yizhou City to deliver gifts and posts for half a year.

I haven't met him in person.
