After getting out of the carriage and taking the water route, the rocker on the boat creaked, and on the dark river, only a little light on the boat was shining like a will-o'-the-wisp.

Du Yishan's heart was heavy, not only because Fang Yunxuan left without saying goodbye, but also because he returned to his hometown, which made him feel infinitely depressed.

He didn't want to remember the past when he was young. The strict rules, the father who always had an expressionless face, the cowardly and timid mother, and a large group of beautiful aunts were all Du Yishan's memories of his hometown.

The damp water vapor is wrapped in the fishy smell of water plants, and the sound of shaking hands on the face presents the long-sealed memory in Du Yishan's mind. He looks at his hometown that has not changed for more than ten years, and there is no joy in his heart .

After drinking half a cup of tea on the boat, the sight suddenly opened up, and the courtyard with blue tiles and white walls flashed into his eyes, and Du Yishan felt a little bit of nostalgia.

Du Yishan's father was the eldest son of the Du family, and their lineage was thin, only his father and uncle.And the person who is now the head of the Du clan is Du Yishan's grandfather's brother. Speaking of which, he is very close in blood, but Du Yishan hates this stubborn old man very much.

It's getting late today, and these people won't come and make noise, but when it dawns tomorrow, they will have to worry about it.To outsiders, his return to his hometown was regarded as an honorable return. The emperor finally gave him some face, sent Li Zhong to announce the decree in person, and rewarded him generously. In the eyes of the Du clan, Du Yishan had done his best. The limelight, it's just that there is a bit of bitterness in the limelight, and they, the spectators, can't control it.

When we arrived at the gate of Dujiazhuang, some servants had already stepped on the pedals.

The gate opened, Du Yishan stepped in, and the old butler led a group of people from the house waiting at the gate to greet him.When everyone saw Du Yishan, they knelt down and saluted, calling him Lord Hou.

The news travels fast.Du Yishan sighed, and stepped forward to help the old housekeeper up. He had been taken care of by this housekeeper when he was young. If he missed him, for so many years, Du Yishan only missed him and his mother.

"Uncle Du, please get up quickly. You have watched me grow up from a young age. You are no different from your own uncle. You don't need to salute me when you see me from now on."

Du Qingyuan waved his hands again and again, "No way. You are the master, and I am the servant. I can't do things like relying on the old to sell the old."

After saying a few words, Du Qingyuan pulled Du Yishan up and down to look up and down, weeping and laughing, he only said yes, and said: "It's a pity that the old lady passed away the year before last, otherwise, when I meet the young master, how would I like it?"

As he said that, he shed tears, he was sincere, and Du Yishan was a little moved by crying, and after a few words of persuasion, the servants dispersed.

After resting for one night, he woke up the next day, finished washing and had breakfast, Du Yishan called Wei Chongyan and asked him to ask his brothers to wait for him in the study, he had something to say.

Wei Chongyan went to call for someone, and came back after a while, saying that all the brothers had arrived.Du Yishan responded and was about to go to the study when Du Qingyuan walked in.He stopped Du Yishan and asked the two servants to bring the family's account books to Du Yishan, and he untied a large bunch of keys in his waist and the cards for buying things in the house, and put them on the table together.

Du Qingyuan smiled and said in a roundabout way: "The old lady has passed away, and there are only a few aunts at home. You know the rules of our Du family. The head of the house can only be the mistress. No matter how favored the aunt is, she can't do housework. You are away For many years, I have never married a wife, and no one in the family is in charge. I, an old coffin, have only looked after the family business for the young master for a few years. Now that you are back, I can retire. I will take care of these things in front of you The face-to-face delivery is clear, so that those who talk behind their backs will scold me, Du Qingyuan, for being greedy for the Du family's money, and even forgetting to die."

Du Yishan looked at the thick pile of account books, then at Du Qingyuan who was standing respectfully and with his head bowed, and said with a smile, "Uncle Du has been coming to my house for a long time, right?"

Du Qingyuan was taken aback for a moment, and replied in a low voice: "It's been 36 years. When the master and his wife got married, the patriarch said that there was no one in charge of the Du family, so he picked me from a side branch to be the housekeeper for the master and his wife."

Du Yishan smiled, "36 years is not a short time. Your family is full of children and grandchildren now, and it is indeed a bit of a grievance to be in charge of my house. After so many years, you are tired of thinking about it, and you want to go home for a long time. Play with your grandchildren and enjoy the family happiness."

Du Yishan's words stopped here, so he stopped talking, but Du Qingyuan's whole body felt chills, and cold sweat broke out.

He handed over the account today just as a test, not really wanting to pick someone up.For so many years, he has been the housekeeper of Du's house, and he has been caught inside and out. Du Yishan's father is a weirdo, who studies Huang Lao's knowledge all day long, and he is good at making alchemy and medicine. Du's father doesn't know how much interest is paid in the shop, so Du Qingyuan has always managed the big and small properties of the Du family, and he has always made up his mind about big and small matters.

This is the case outside the mansion, let alone in the mansion. Mother Du is a typical lady of the family. In the inner house, it is said that Mother Du is in charge. In fact, in secret, Mother Du has already pushed a lot of messy things to Du Qingyuan. For so many years, Mother Du has read the account book as usual every year, and never asks about it the rest of the time. In the Du Mansion, the housekeeper turned out to be the master, which is a bit ridiculous to say.

People are afraid of being misplaced. Du Qingyuan's position in the Du Mansion is unique. After so many years, he said that he can't rely on the old to sell the old, but in his heart he kept pretending to be small.It is a lie to say that he has no selfishness, and it is even more a lie to say that he has no secret interests.After Du's father passed away, Du Yishan went to the border again and did not come back all year round. The population of the mansion was simple, and there were few people coming in and out, so a stroke of each place was enough for Du Qingyuan to live a nourishing life.

Du Qingyuan never paid much attention to Du Yishan's return to his hometown this time. He watched Du Yishan grow up. When he was young, his family's aunts and wives fought with each other and assassinated Du Yishan several times. He managed to save him. Otherwise, how could Du Yishan grow up to such a size safely.Du Yishan respected him, and Du Qingyuan knew it all too well. Based on this, Du Qingyuan felt that he could run wild in this family for another 20 years.

Unexpectedly, Du Yishan's respect is respect, but he doesn't show affection at all. The temptation that can be seen by him, a fool, didn't even say a polite word of face, and he just asked him to go home and be happy. Get Sun's words.It's a joke, he went to play with his grandson, not only would he not get any benefit from the Du family, but he also gave himself a big earmark for no reason, telling him how to get out of this house today, and how to see people in the future.

Du Qingyuan was so anxious that his face was red and his ears were red. The battle had been laid out. Now it was too late to regret it. He laughed dryly and didn't know how to end it. He heard Du Yishan laughing at Wei Chongyan and said: "Chongyan, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and help Uncle Du Pack it up, and when the weather is good today, prepare a boat to take him home immediately."

Wei Chongyan promised to go down, but Du Qingyuan couldn't pretend anymore, he knelt down with a plop, crying, and said: "The old slave can't bear the young master, the young master just came back, and he wants to drive the old slave away, so as to make the old slave feel cold... ..."

Du Yishan sneered, watching the old man with white beard and hair crying with snot and tears.

The person he has missed for many years, the person he regards as a relative in his heart, gave him a blow on the second day after he came back.He can respect Du Qingyuan from the bottom of his heart, and he can be filial to him as a father or uncle, but the premise is that this person does not pretend to be in front of him, has bad intentions, and will not be jealous when he sees the Du family's family business. He is obviously greedy for the Du family. Family wealth and prestige, but behaved benevolently and morally, as if I couldn't help him.

Yesterday's warmth disappeared, and Du Yishan's heart was cold, and his affection for this family was completely gone. With a cold face, he helped Du Qingyuan up, "Uncle Du, I call you uncle, because I really feel sorry for you." You are treated like an uncle. You just have to say it clearly, even if you want the Du family's family business, as long as you deserve it reasonably, I will give it to you without saying a word. You shouldn't rely on me to care about the past. Come pick on me. This is the first time, and I hope it will be the last time, otherwise the Du family can't afford a housekeeper who is as grand as you!"

Du Qingyuan's face turned blue and white, shame and embarrassment, his whole face turned red and then white, white and then purple, it was almost impossible to see.

His face was full of shame, and Du Yishan couldn't bear it, so he didn't say any more, and asked him to keep the account book and take back everything else.

Du Qingyuan walked away tremblingly.Wei Chongyan looked at his back and shook his head. He made a wrong move and lost all his old face for many years. It even caused a rift between him and Du Yishan. It seems that people really can't be too greedy. Du Yishan will not do anything to him if he does not relinquish his power as a housekeeper.Who told him to be impatient.

Du Yishan asked Wei Chongyan to go to the study room. The brothers had been waiting for a long time. After seeing the ceremony, Du Yishan took out a scroll from his sleeve.

Du Yishan unfolded the paper scroll, and clasped his fists to all the brothers: "Brothers have followed all the way, Yishan is very grateful. I won't say anything extra, we have all rolled on the battlefield, life and death are comrades, it is a life-and-death friendship , in this world, I trust you most."

Wei Chongyan and the others didn't know what Du Yishan was going to do, so they called them here suddenly, and they said something like this again, everyone's blood boiled, they couldn't wait to pat their chests and roar twice: "My brother, why are you being so polite!"

Du Yishan went on to say: "Since it's time to disarm and return to the fields, naturally we can't talk about the old wars. Since the brothers follow me, I have to find a decent way out for everyone, not to mention that everyone is rich and powerful, why not?" You have to be well-off. Here are a few ways to make money that I have thought about along the way. Let’s take a look and decide on a feasible strategy. After a period of rest, we will let go and work hard.”

Everyone's eyes widened. Most of them followed Du Yishan out of desperation and loyalty, and no one thought about what would happen next.These people have sold their lives on the battlefield for more than ten years, and when they finally return to their hometowns, they can only save a few dozen taels of pension silver, buy a few acres of Susukida, and farm the land for a living.They don't have a family, they have neither parents nor wives and children, they are single, they are the same everywhere, so they followed Du Yishan all the way here.Unexpectedly, Du Yishan not only has a way of fighting, but also has a way of living. Before he arrived in Guangning, he had already laid out a detailed plan. It is written in detail and comprehensively on the paper, so there is no need for others to come up with any ideas, as long as you act according to this plan.
