Fan Niande was extremely excited and excited because of Zhu Xi's arrival. He led the servants in the mansion to busy themselves. When he heard that Zhu Xi was going to bother the mansion for a while, the joy and excitement on his face were even more exaggerated. He greeted the servants and urged him to quickly clean out the courtyard where the distinguished guests in the mansion were for accommodation for Zhu Xi and the master and servant of the book.

In the main hall, it had just been cleaned up. Fan Niande was just thrown away because of the unhappiness of Bai Chun and Ye Qing, and because of Zhu Xi's arrival.

After he asked Zhu Xi to sit down in the master's seat, he sat down at the lower seat. Although he had been with Zhu Xi for many years, his reputation, not to mention the influence in the hearts of literati all over the world were not comparable to Fan Niande.

So for Fan Niande, after Zhu Xi came to Lin'an, he was able to live in his mansion for a while. For him, he was lucky and even proud of his three lives. He felt that he could be compared with the great scholars of the contemporary world.

"Sir, I don't know what's going on in Lin'an this time? Is there a place to serve?" Fan Niande looked at Zhu Xi who was looking around and asked in his heart.

"There is nothing big. I made an appointment with Mr. Xiangshan to debate in West Lake a few days ago, so I took advantage of the fact that there was nothing big in the Bailu Cave Academy recently and went out to have a fun early." While looking at the hall, I laughed and answered Fan Niande's question.

Since Zhu Xi entered the Fan Mansion, he has always been in a state of easy-going and gentleness, with calm and composed expressions and behaviors, calm and easy-going, and a hint of joyful smile on his face.

"Mr. Xiangshan?" Fan Niande was shocked and asked hurriedly in surprise: "But that Lu Jiuyuan, who is often debated with you and is called Mr. Xiangshan?"

"Yes, it's him." Zhu Xi nodded with a smile, then stretched out his arm and pointed casually in the hall, saying, "Brother Fan, what's the important thing in the mansion recently?"

Fan Niande was shocked at the moment. He didn't expect that Zhu Xi was so sharp and could have such insight. After a short while of coming in, he could actually find that the hall had just had a fight not long ago.

So when Fan Niande was puzzled and was wondering how to explain, he saw Zhu Xi pointing to the table not far away and saying, "The traces of the vases are still there, but there are uncleaned fragments in the corner. Moreover, the legs of the tables have been moved, and the remaining marks are clearly visible, so I guess, is there something happened in the mansion recently?"

Zhu Xi was still smiling, with a slightly darker complexion and a silly look, which gave people the feeling of being a good man. Compared with his current status as a great scholar, it seemed extremely inconsistent.

Fan Niande was indeed stunned, then his eyes swept over the place Zhu Xi pointed just now, shook his head and sighed: "It's better not to talk about this matter, just a rogue broke into the mansion and made a fuss. What can I still care about her?"

Zhu Xi rolled his eyes, asked a little question, and after pondering for a moment, he said without changing his true nature: "Brother Fan, now you are my minister, Fengshan Academy, and Jiankang Prefecture School. You have to be a role model and take care of business. Haha, Brother Fan is afraid that he will lose sight of one thing? In my opinion, it is better to concentrate on learning. Money is something other than your own, let alone Brother Fan..."

"Mr. I misunderstood. If it were just money, how could Fan make the hall so messy? He was so worried and heartbroken? I will not hide what Mr. said..." Fan Niande sighed, and then told Zhu Xi about what happened in his mansion today.

Just when talking about the thirty taels of silver given to Bai Chun, Fan Niande seemed a little ambiguous and did not tell him exactly whether the thirty taels of silver was the money that Bai Chun sold for Jinse, or whether he had funded Bai Chun for the sake of his best friend Bai Bingzhong.

Zhu Xi also knew some of Fan Niande's character, and he knew very well in his heart how Fan Niande's identity was obtained. Yuanwailang was originally a very important official position in the court, but with the development of the times, it has become a honorary official position that can be donated to buy now.

Therefore, in order to distinguish it from other ordinary merchants, some famous wealthy and wealthy businessmen in Lin'an City basically donated a large sum of silver to the court and then obtained a hat of a minister, thereby enhancing their identity and status.

In addition, the Southern Song Dynasty court had to pay tribute to the Jin Kingdom for many years, so in order to relieve the pressure on the treasury, the court had always been open to wealthy businessmen spending money to buy officials.

Therefore, the title of Yuanwailang became increasingly inclined to people's titles of wealthy businessmen, and became less valuable in the officialdom, and thus became a Yuanwailang.

Since Fan Niande had a conflict with his younger generation who had made friends, Zhu Xi was not able to speak anymore, but in his heart, he did not believe in Fan Niande's words. Businessmen value profit over righteousness for eternity.

Although thirty taels of silver are not a small amount for ordinary people, it should not be a big deal in Fan Niande's eyes, because thirty taels of silver can break up with the daughter of the best friend for this. I think Fan Niande's character will not be much better.

However, what made Zhu Xi curious was that the rascal rogue in Fan Niande's mouth could actually knock down the four stout guards in his mansion in the blink of an eye. He was still unscathed and easily took his maid away, which made Zhu Xi feel a little interested.

And for some reason, the figure of Ye Qing appeared in his mind, who was silently thinking.

Until the time when the lights were held, Ye Qing stayed in the room and never came out. Except for the lights in the room, it was still quiet.

Bai Chun and Jinse had already prepared meals in the kitchen. When they were about to ask Jinse to call Ye Qing, they saw Ye Qing rubbing his eyes and walking out of the room.

As if he hadn't noticed Bai Chun and Jinse at the kitchen door, Ye Qing walked to the center of the yard and looked back and forth at the wall of the yard, and from time to time he was strode to the open space in the yard, and he didn't know what he was muttering.

Before dawn the next day, Ye Qing, who had just finished washing up, saw Jinse getting up early. After finishing her own work, she started boiling water in the kitchen, tidying up the yard, and making preparations for everything waiting for Bai Chun to get up.

"Young Master," Jinse was also stunned. He didn't expect Ye Qing to get up so early.

"Good morning." Ye Qing smiled gently at Jinse, then went back to the house to get the lantern, and then carried his backpack. He heard a knock at the door.

Jinse, who had just woken up, was shocked and looked at Ye Qing hurriedly. It was not yet dawn at this time, so why would someone knock on the door?

"It's okay, it's a friend, you go and open the door." Ye Qing hurriedly put the soap balls and candles into his backpack, and said to Jinse at the door.

"Oh." Jinse responded, then walked forward and walked around the screen wall to open the door.

Ye Qing, who packed up his backpack, finally picked up the watch beside the pillow and put it on. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he heard a panicked voice coming over: "I'm sorry, I'm disturbing me, I...I knocked on the wrong door."

Ye Qing stood in the center of the yard, then watched the lights on Bai Chun's second floor. At this time, he heard Li Heng's voice coming from the door: "That's right, it's this house. That... May I ask... is this Ye Qing's house?"

"It's Ye's mansion, I wonder if the young master is looking for our young master?" Jinse was very dedicated and followed Bai Chun for many years. Influenced by Bai Chun, the little girl's behavior was also well-educated, gentle and polite.

However, this sentence made Ye Qing feel very embarrassed. He was the Ye family and the young master. How could he be so embarrassed to be able to bear it? But it sounds quite comfortable.

"Yes, I'm looking for Ye Qing. I wonder if it's your young master?" Li Heng stuttered a little, but he had no choice but to block his way. He could only stand at the door and look inside. Everything was so familiar, but why did there be an extra little girl inexplicably?

"Stop looking at it. My sister-in-law's maid was just taken back by my sister-in-law yesterday." Ye Qing, carrying a backpack, slowly appeared from the screen wall. Taking advantage of the shimmer, she looked at Li Heng who was blocked by the door and said.

Jinse turned around, glanced at Ye Qing, and then said to Li Hengli, "Please come in, please."

"Why let him come in? I'm on a job with him." Ye Qing walked to the door and didn't dare to pat Jinse's shoulder again. When he was having dinner last night, he unconsciously patted Jinse's shoulder, and was immediately hit hard by Bai Chun with chopsticks. The back of his right hand was so bulging that it still hurts a little.

Fortunately, Bai Chun had just knocked on the back of his hand and immediately screamed in surprise. Looking at the back of his hand that was swollen like a steamed bun, he hurriedly asked in a hurry what was going on?

Ye Qing looked at the swollen back of his hand indifferently, and then said, "Do you think I will have nothing to do with you when I hit and break my wrists with one punch? I am not an iron man. As the saying goes, killing an enemy with one thousand will hurt you by yourself, but it's okay, it won't get in the way."

After listening to Ye Qing's explanation, Bai Chun hurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks, took some copper coins from the building, and planned to let Jinse go to the street to buy some medicine for bruises and injuries.

But Ye Qing stopped him and said it would not be in trouble and would be ready tomorrow morning.

So after Ye Qing, who woke up in the morning, had a white bandage wrapped around his right hand after washing up, but after Bai Chun knocked it, it seemed that it swelled faster.

"What's wrong with your hands?" Li Heng first looked at the backpack behind Ye Qing. He was very familiar with this backpack. When he found Ye Qing in the pile of dead people in Niushou Mountain, Ye Qing carried such a bag on his back, and was wearing a strange dress, and his hair was gone for no reason.

At that time, Li Heng almost didn't recognize him. If Ye Qing hadn't suddenly turned around and moaned, Li Heng would have thought he was a dead person he didn't know.

So it was not very strange that he saw Ye Qing carrying the backpack at this moment, but along the way, he was very interested in Jinse's appearance, and it also extended to Bai Chun's life experience.

"It's okay. I fought with someone yesterday. The four of them were easily knocked down by me in the blink of an eye. Isn't it amazing?"

"And then folded?"
