In December, the city of Guangzhou is already in winter, although it is not as frozen as the northern city, but it is also cold.

With Hu Zongxian's entry into Jiangxi, the turmoil in Jiangxi subsided, and many troublesome miners and displaced people dispersed. Faced with the world-shattering Governor Hu personally coming to quell the rebellion, they knew that they could not resist at all, but they chose to return to their hometowns and live a good life.

Among them, Wu Ping, the most powerful thief leader, faced the double pressure of a great loss of strength and Hu Zongxian's personal coming to quell the rebellion, he also chose to flee to the sea to seek other development.

Zhang Lian sent Xiao Xuefeng, the general of the Flying Dragon Army, to attack Longyan, but was killed by the commander of Tang Xiang of Zhixian County, and he was a lot of peace these days.

Of course, he dared to call Emperor Jianyuan, so naturally he would not stop there. I am afraid that he also wants to spend the New Year in peace now, and he will start the grand cause of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty with all his strength in the spring of next year.

In recent days, the territory of Guangdong seems to be very calm, while the city of Guangzhou seems to be more lively. Although Lin Haoran is not in the government, the Guangzhou government already has a scene of political communication and harmony.

Neither the county officials nor the errands of the yamen dared to blatantly oppress the common people. As long as he is really wronged by Mengda, the bitter master runs to the yamen to beat the drum of grievances, and there will definitely be the master of the blue sky.

Those bullies who oppressed the township were also frightened, and they restrained their arrogance. Just as the miners and displaced people in Jiangxi were afraid of Governor Hu, they were also deeply afraid of Lin Leigong, who was full of righteousness, and did not dare to do evil things lightly.

The common people of this era do not want much, and they are all kind and hardworking people. With the mushrooming of various workshops in Guangzhou, everyone can be warmed and fed, causing the people of Guangzhou to claim that this is the "peaceful and prosperous era".

Not only did merchants from other provinces transport goods, but more and more people from Guangdong poured into the city, resulting in a sharp increase in the permanent population of Guangzhou. With the massive increase in population and the large flat area left behind by the southward migration of the Pearl River, the construction of the southern outer city seemed to be a matter of course.

Lin Haoran, who returned from Nanyang, also complied with everyone's demands, and immediately decided to join Wang Bai and others to promote this major event that is destined to go down in history.

The sixth day of the lunar month, an unusual day.

The tiger girl opened her eyes in bed very early and seemed to be in good spirits. Although the morning air was cold and rustic, and the silk quilt was very warm, it did not stop her from getting up.

Grab the quilt and get up, stretch your arms, put on your shoes and go to the diorama. She squinted her eyes and looked at a familiar face, only to see that it was no different from her usual life, and began to comb her hair.

"Miss, I'll help you comb your hair!" When the little rabbit heard the movement, he hurriedly got up and said crisply.

Everyone has her strengths, and the little rabbit has a pair of skillful hands, although she is very timid. skillfully helped the tiger girl tie her hair, and did not forget today's day, and sincerely congratulated: "Miss, today is your birthday, I wish you all the best!" ”

"Not yet, my brother said that he would wait until my next birthday before he could consider whether to bring me someone to find a gold mine in that far away!" The tiger girl sat in front of the mirror with her mouth pursed and replied with some dejection.

Little Rabbit helped her tie her hair, and said seriously: "The master is thinking about the safety of the young lady!" If you go further south from Mindanao, you don't know where to go, and you don't know if there are gold mines! ”

"My brother said in Mindanao that there would be gold mines further south! But he finally thought I was a child, so he went on to say that there wasn't necessarily something like that, but I'm nine years old now, and I'll be ten next month! Hey......" Tiger Niu frowned and analyzed seriously.

"Elder Huniu, we don't care about your brother, you can take someone to go secretly, anyway, the people of our Haidong clan will listen to you!" The little fox didn't know when he got up, and at this time he seriously encouraged him.

Little Rabbit immediately looked at the tiger girl with some anxiety, if the tiger girl really wanted to do this kind of thing secretly, then she would undoubtedly be embarrassed. On the one hand, she is absolutely loyal to Mademoiselle and must follow her instructions. But on the other hand, he felt that the old man was very good, and it was also out of concern for the safety of the young lady.

However, her embarrassment seemed to be superfluous, but Hu Niu shook her head firmly and said, "This can't be done!" My brother is so good to me, and his brain is smarter than me, and he is still the head of the family, I still have to listen to him in everything. ”

Although the tiger girl has a wild temperament, she is actually quite well-behaved. She put on her practice clothes, and then picked up the bamboo knife, which was to go out for morning exercise and start a new day.

Watching the tiger girl go out, the little rabbit and the little fox also began to freshen up, ready to have breakfast later.

Whew......

The little pig was thunderous, his body was still curled up in the bed, his mouth was slightly open, and saliva flowed out of it.

When he heard the sound of the little rabbit accidentally pushing down the stool, he just turned his body inside, and then continued to sleep, enjoying this good sleep time.

There were a few clusters of bamboo in the corner of the east end of the courtyard, but now they were yellow, and there were a few more fallen leaves on the ground. The neatly paved bricks are very dry, but they also look very clean.

Ali, dressed in a black practice uniform, had already gotten up, holding a bamboo knife in her hand, and was waving it there in a decent manner. The posture is spacious, but the strength contained is very amazing.

After a set of knife techniques, Ali put her palm from top to bottom and exhaled a breath of turbidity. Hearing the movement in front of the tiger girl's door, a knowing smile immediately appeared on her face, but she suddenly looked at the other end in confusion.

Chirping!

A door was suddenly opened, but a sleepy-eyed young man pushed the door out, still holding a bamboo knife in his hand, exuding a lazy atmosphere.

"Brother, why are you so early today?" Tiger Niu watched her brother push the door and asked, looking surprised. It's very similar to the little pig, if nothing happens, the brother will definitely sleep until the sun basks his butt.

Lin Haoran glanced at her, and said dissatisfiedly: "Can't I get up earlier?" ”

"Of course!" Hu Niu nodded as a matter of course, and then asked in a crisp voice: "Brother, you got up so early today, do you want to compete with me?" ”

As she spoke, she raised her bamboo knife with a look of eagerness.

Lin Haoran looked at this wild girl, reached out and touched her buttocks, but she didn't forget the injury she had suffered some time ago, and immediately changed her mind and pointed at him and said, "You are too low-level, my brother is going to compete with Ali today!" ”

Hu Niu's face immediately swelled with a little confusion, her brother couldn't even beat her, how could it be Ali's opponent, this was undoubtedly self-inflicted.

Ali originally wanted to stand aside and watch the play, but when she heard Lin Haoran naming her to practice with her, the corners of her mouth immediately turned up slightly, and her eyes looked at Lin Haoran who was weak with disdain.

Lin Haoran looked at this more and more slim girl, who looked more and more smart, especially the two legs were strong and slender, her body was more and more curved, and she was full of youthful breath, and she must be a supermodel full of youthful atmosphere in later generations.

It's just that he understands in his heart that this is just the appearance of this girl. If this woman thinks badly about him, I'm afraid he can only lie on the bed obediently and let her squeeze it dry, and any resistance will be in vain.

Lin Haoran came to the middle of the courtyard with a bamboo knife in his hand, knowing that this woman was left-handed, and immediately said calmly: "Right hand! ”

"Good!" Ali did not refuse this request, and calmly changed the bamboo knife to her right hand.

"Tiger girl, brother will teach you a lesson today, see how brother uses wisdom to defeat the strong with the weak!" Lin Haoran smeared red dye on the bamboo knife and said with some smugness.

Hu Niu sat on the stone steps next to her and watched the battle, although she didn't think her brother had a chance to win, but she still nodded lightly and said, "Brother, I'm watching!" ”

Knowing this woman's skills, Lin Haoran did not take the initiative to advance, but looked for the other party's flaws like a master. Although his physical fitness is not the opponent of this girl, he knows that he has read countless films, and he has the opportunity to blind him to victory.

Ali didn't mean to release the water, and her figure pounced towards it, like a lion cub with a fierce attack.

Lin Haoran faced the menacing girl, she was really frightened by this posture, the tiger girl was a miss at best, this woman clearly wanted his life, but she decisively dropped the bamboo knife and shouted: "Wait, stop, Ya Yan Butterfly!" ”

He was really crazy in his heart, and he rushed out of his Japanese.

Seeing that the bamboo knife was about to hit Lin Haoran's body, Lin Haoran's heart was raised, and the bamboo knife suddenly changed direction, which could be slashed through Lin Haoran's chin.

Mutter......

Lin Haoran's face was pale, his eyelids lowered and he looked at the bamboo knife, and swallowed and foamed silently. If the bamboo knife is a few points longer, his chin will definitely be painted, which will undoubtedly affect his glorious image of Lin Leigong.

Ali's pretty face was very indifferent, and her eyes seemed to flash a hint of banter. No matter how powerful this man is, and how high his status is in this country, fighting is far from her opponent.

But she didn't know if it was a weak heart, she turned around and was about to walk back to her original position, intending to start the fight again. It's just that suddenly, the residual smile on her face hasn't been lost, and the cold hair immediately stands up.

Just when she put the vigilance line to the lowest, Lin Haoran suddenly gave her a bear hug, which really made him succeed in the sneak attack. In addition to the excitement, Lin Haoran hugged this youthful girl tightly, and even though he tried to throw her to the ground.

As long as her body is pressed against the bamboo knife with red dye on the ground, then he will use his wisdom to win this victory, and then he will be able to show off his power in front of the tiger girl.

The beauty is in her arms, with a faint body fragrance, especially the scale of her chest. But at this time, she found that although this woman's martial arts were better, she could be regarded as a cold and beautiful girl.

It's just that he doesn't care about anything else, and he has a strong desire to win, but he uses all his strength to throw this woman to the bamboo knife on the ground next to him.

His body was already tilted, and he saw that victory was in sight, but a heavy and ruthless heel struck his lower crotch, and a pain like a broken child immediately surged over his body.

Bang!

The body fell heavily on the bamboo knife, and the clothes were immediately stained with bright red marks, but Lin Haoran no longer cared about the victory or defeat, but clutched his face tightly with a painful expression.

"Brother!"

Hu Niu watched her brother fall to the ground, and immediately ran over with concern.

Lin Haoran's pain came and went quickly, and when she was about to accuse the initiator, it turned out to be an angry and ashamed gaze, but she turned around and ran back to the room.

Hu Niu looked at him and was fine, but she turned her arm outward and said, "Brother, it's not right for you to play tricks like this!" We are chivalrous warriors, and the competition must be dignified! ”

Burst!

Lin Haoran immediately vomited blood, this girl didn't comfort herself, she didn't follow her to find a way to punish Ali, and even taught her brother a serious lesson.

This was a small episode, but because Lin Haoran was so disturbed, breakfast came earlier than usual.

During the meal, Lin Haoran said to the tiger girl: "Tiger girl, at noon, you honestly entertain distinguished guests at home, in the afternoon, you go to the United Restaurant to show your face, and at night you can love wherever you like!" ”

"Brother, are you making too much trouble?" The tiger girl ate barbecued pork buns, frowned and said seriously.

Lin Haoran complained helplessly: "Do you think I want to? How many people are thinking about scolding your brother now, if I miss some people who don't send posts, it will offend people! ”

"Brother, we won't do it in the next year! Next year, our family will kill a chicken and simply have a birthday feast, and I am very happy! The tiger girl put down the fragrant bun and proposed seriously.

Lin Haoran looked at her like this, and felt warm in his heart and said: "If you are troublesome, then we won't do it too much!" Brother will try to keep a low profile in the future, but if my brother returns to Beijing to be an official in the future, I'm afraid it will be too much to do! ”

Deep in the officialdom, Lin Haoran is planning his future. Nowadays, he is the prefect of Guangzhou and the deputy envoy of Guangdong Patrol Road in the local area, and the most ideal position is naturally the envoy of Zheng Sanpin.

It's just that he is only twenty years old after the New Year, and it is indeed too eye-catching to want to become the head of the third department, and according to the authority of the inspector, it is better to seek a position of the same rank in the capital.

The year after next was the year of Jingcha, and according to the regulations, he wanted to return to Beijing to take up his post. With the prestige he has won in Guangdong, as well as all kinds of political achievements, it is difficult to continue to serve as the prefect of Guangzhou, and staying in Beijing is a high probability event.

The tiger girl nodded incomprehensibly, and then began a busy day.

In the morning, Wang Bai, Chen Wangmo, Jiang Ruo, Huang Hui and other big figures arrived one after another. The tiger girl is well-behaved, standing there in a regular manner to greet the visitors, receiving all kinds of congratulatory gifts.

Although it was a simple banquet, everyone's interest was high. In particular, Lin Haoran opened the Nanyang market, which benefited everyone present, and everyone talked about the benefits of opening the sea like an open sea faction.

In the afternoon, Tiger Niu went to the side of the United Restaurant again.

The congratulatory gifts of the officials here are all ordinary, but the merchants are not lacking in precious things. Shen Liuye, Zhao Fugui, Huang Dafu and others all spent a lot of money, and they did not hesitate to spend money on congratulatory gifts to the tiger girl.

Although the United Business Group is now receiving hundreds of thousands of taels of silver at every turn, they know that with the wealth that Lin Haoran has, it is naturally impossible to look down on these congratulatory gifts, but they are undoubtedly expressing their hearts.

The two banquets were busy, and it was already twilight, and the tiger girl received no less than 100 congratulatory gifts. In particular, many bigwigs have sent calligraphy and paintings, and if they are collected, each piece can be auctioned at a sky-high price after hundreds of years.

The tiger girl is becoming more and more immune to congratulatory gifts, but when Lin Haoran hit her, her big eyes were full of anticipation.

"Your birthday gift!" Lin Haoran did not send "high-tech" like a few years ago, and sent a pair of parchment rolls instead of the norm.

"Brother, what is this?" Tiger Girl's eyes were attracted by the parchment roll, and she asked suspiciously as she opened it.

Lin Haoran looked at her helplessly, and said solemnly: "This is a treasure map, at least worth 10 million taels, you must not show it to others!" ”

Hu Niu opened the treasure map halfway, it was the familiar map of the South Seas, and immediately closed it vigorously, and at the same time looked around nervously, making sure that no one was able to verify it: "Brother, is it an island that hides gold mines?" ”

Lin Haoran pinched her face and blamed: "Without my permission, you can't go to Nanyang to find gold mines." This is just the upper volume, if you want the next volume, you have to be obedient! ”

"Oops! When did I become disobedient? Really! Tiger Girl's eyes fell back to the treasure map, and she complained.
