On the night of the 10th day of the ninth month, Wei Hong, the head of the household department, recruited nearly 100 men from the Jia family and the Wang family to help guard the grain ship. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Jia Jia's message from Jia Huan brought back here. The herald was Jia Huan's long-term follower Qian Huai. Steward Liu, the governor of Jiafu in Jinling, obeyed the order.

As Qian Huai returned to Jinling, news of Jia Huan also spread to Jia Huan's home in Wuding Bridge and Anjie. Since Jia Huan went out with Qian Huai and Hu Xiaosi in late August, there has been no news back.

Daiyu, Qingwen, Ruyi, Zijuan, Raider, Snow Goose, and Mo'er have been at home these days without going out. At the door of the house are also guarded by the soldiers of the Huaiyang Governor Sha Sheng Dubiao Battalion. The information outside is brought in by the housekeeper Yuanbo and the housekeeper's wife. Your home is like an island of information. Now, this is the first time that news has been sent back to Jia Huan. Several girls cried with joy.

In the late autumn season, the sky is raining, which adds to the cold. In the afternoon, Daiyu wore a cotton jacket embroidered with light foundation and an elegant aqua blue skirt, reading a book in the east wing. The temperament is graceful and charming.

There is a charcoal pot burning indoors. The temperature is right. Zijuan served quietly on the side. Outside, there was a faint sound of Qingwen, Ruyi, and attacking words.

Aunt Pei's coffin is still parked at home, waiting for Jia Huan to come back and send it to Suzhou for burial. As time passed, the sad atmosphere in the home slowly faded, replaced by worry about Jia Huan outside.

Daiyu put down the book in her hand. This is a book that has been circulated in Jiangnan "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Published by Wendao College Printing Office. Beautifully crafted. Daiyu asked softly, "Zijuan, where did you say the third master is now?" ”

Zijuan smiled, "Girl, how do I know this?" Qian Huai didn't know that he was following the third master. Presumably, the third master is doing great things. It needs to be kept secret. This was the eighth time the girl had asked this question.

In fact, she was also worried. When the third master left, he said clearly: You can rest assured. My aunt's blood feud and justice, I want to take it back with my own hands.

Zijuan's mind couldn't help but remember what Qian Huai said when he came back a few days ago.

"Back to Miss Lin's words, the third master copied the Zheng family in Yangzhou, and after executing Zheng Yuanjian, he followed Governor Sha to Huainan to inspect the disaster. I really don't know where it is now. However, I think that the third master should be back soon. ”

"The third master asked me to bring a message and ask Miss Lin how she is, pay attention to her daily life and diet, and ask a few sisters to serve Miss Lin." Qian Huai has always called Qingwen, Ruyi, Zijuan, Raider and other people "sisters". It's not about age, it's about identity.

Some things are understated, but she can imagine the thrilling in them. People, are they so easy to kill? The girl is literate and hyphenated, and she has seen more than her, but she is afraid that she will think more deeply and worry more in her heart.

Thinking of this, Zijuan said with relief: "Girl, the third master is calm and wise, and has a careful plan, and it will be fine." ”

Lin Daiyu nodded lightly, frowned slightly, and a lingering sorrow appeared on her pretty little face, and said softly: "The murderers are dead." Auntie, in the spirit of the sky, she won't blame the third brother..."

With Daiyu's intelligence and insight, she naturally understands that a salt merchant would never dare to do anything to a scholar. There are also commanders in the back. Jia Huan is outside, and he must still be planning something. However, she would rather not have Jia Huan to track down and avenge the last black hand. Rather, I hope he can return safely. She's lost her mother, her father, her aunt...

Zijuan nodded approvingly. What's going on with the Zheng family and Zheng Yuanjian, Qian Huai made some simple explanations that day. When she heard the news, she was shocked. Feel the will and determination of the third master.

While the two were talking, Yuan Bo came in from the outside quickly, and the old man in his fifties was out of breath and said loudly in the corridor outside the door: "Girl, the third master is back." ”

"Ahh

Qingwen asked quickly, "Uncle Yuan, really?" Peugeot's face smiled. Like a delicate flower.

Yuanbo took a breath and said with a smile: "It's me who didn't make it clear." The third master has arrived in Jinling. sent Hu Xiaosi back to report the news. ”

"Oh..."Qingwen couldn't hide her disappointment. Then there was hope in my heart. The third master is about to go back.

Ruyi blinked, and suddenly felt like crying.

The attacker bowed his head submissively. During this time, there was an accident in the family, and the third master went out to take revenge, and they stayed behind. Her relationship with Qingwen and Ruyi gradually became closer.

At this time, I heard the news that the third master was about to return. There is also an emotion of expectation in my heart. The third master is the backbone of the family and the pillar.

Daiyu came out with Zijuan, just in time to hear Uncle Yuan's explanation, and said softly: "Uncle Yuan, thank you for your hard work." ”

Third brother, you finally came back safely.

…

…

Jia Huan arrived outside Jinling on the afternoon of 16 September. He came from Songjiang Prefecture. He was accompanied by more than a dozen grain ships with an extremely deep draft.

Let's rewind the clock a few days.

On the night of the Double Ninth Festival on September 9, Jia Huan said goodbye to Sha Sheng, the governor of Huaiyang, in the night, and quietly set off from Suqian County, Huai'an Prefecture, along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture.

Day and night, a few days later arrived in Huating County. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, he met with the eldest prince of the Wang family in a manor belonging to the Wei family outside the county. Accompanying the guests was Wei Hong's second son, Wei Jian.

Wang Zihao is Wang Xifeng's father and Wang Ziteng's eldest brother. Jia Huan called him uncle according to etiquette. As for whether Wang Zihao recognizes Jia Huan, the concubine of Jiafu, as his nephew? The answer is self-explanatory.

Although Jia Huan was low-key after coming to Jinling, his performance was quite dazzling. Moreover, although the capital and Jinling are far apart, more than a year is enough for Wang Zi Hao to communicate with his younger brother Wang Ziteng and understand the situation.

Jia Huan asked Wang Zihao for help because the Wang family had a relationship in maritime commerce. Jia Huan asked the Wang family to help buy rice from Guangzhou Mansion and Annan. Shipped by sea to Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture.

In the sixteenth chapter of the original book of the Red Mansion, Sister Feng said: "Our palace has also prepared once. At that time, my grandfather was in charge of the tribute and congratulations of various countries, and all foreigners who came were supported by our family. "This is obviously a matter for the Ministry of Rites. There are also small countries on the sea. Moreover, the talisman clearly wrote: The East China Sea lacks a white jade bed, and the Dragon King came to invite the King of Jinling.

Obviously, the Wang family has a certain influence in maritime trade.

Of course, Jia Huan asked Wang Zihao for help, and he also paid him a lot of benefits. This was in exchange for Wang Zihao's great help. Now, the second batch of grain has arrived in Huating. It is stored in the Zhuangzi of the Wei family.

In the afternoon, the Zhuangzi is filled with the breath of late autumn and early winter, and the branches of the trees are bare. The cold wind howls in the sky and in the fields.

Wei Hong has been in the sea for many years, and there is no shortage of houses and fields in his hometown. The courtyard in the middle of the manor is elegantly repaired. In the flower hall, Jia Huan exchanged a few words with Wang Zihao and Wei Jian.

Wang Zihao was about sixty years old, looking a little old, sitting on the chair at the top, and playing with two bronze galls. In the face of Jia Huan's thanks, he waved his hand very heroically and said, "They are all relatives." The family does not speak two words. The rice is not enough, Ziyu, as long as you still have silver, the rice in Guangzhou Mansion and Annam can be transported casually. ”

Jia Huan smiled bitterly in his heart. This Uncle Wang has a good temperament, just seeing it...

How long does it take to ship by sea? What else did he do when he transported the third batch of grain to Jinling? The game there in Jinling has long been over. It is precisely because of the fact that there is no profit at all from the sea of rice grain from the south. There is no maritime transport. That's why this route is overlooked.

The sea route is all silk, porcelain, and tea from the south of the Yangtze River, and the goods that are more than ten times or dozens of times more profitable than the treasures of the south.

Jia Huan arched his hand and said, "What Uncle said is true." Let's see after me. ”

Often the problem that money can solve is not the problem. Although he said that he gave Wang Zihao a sum of silver as a reward, he still had to admit Wang Zihao's favor, and it really helped him a lot. Otherwise, he couldn't find the temple gate if he wanted to burn incense.

According to the situation of the original book of the Red Mansion, Uncle Wang is afraid that he will not have a few years to live. Wang Xifeng's elder brother Wang Ren will go to the capital in the future to settle in the prince's mansion. At this time, it is estimated that Uncle Wang is dead.

This favor, he can only fall on Sister Feng's head.

Alas...

Many times, Jia Huan wants to smoke Sister Feng. The agency was too clever and mistook Qingqing's life. Typical big-chested and brainless! Proper pig teammates! However, Uncle Wang is in favor today, so he has to save Sister Wang Feng's life. can't watch her fall into a tragic ending of "crying to Jinling and mourning".

These rice will help him turn the tables in Jinling and kill the Chen family.

Jia Huan looked at Wei Jian. This is a beautiful man about thirty years old, dressed in gorgeous clothes, but lacking the bearing of a noble son, and looks a little wooden. Seeing Jia Huan looking over, Wei Jian said respectfully: "Friend Jia, don't worry." Grain will never be found here. ”

He has a reputation for showing off his talents. But it doesn't stop there. The field is reactive. How did this show come about, in fact, there are some discussions.

Wei Hong repeatedly explained that he wanted to listen to Jia Huan's arrangements and orders. Wei Jian has always been afraid of his father, and by the way, Jia Huan, who values his father, even if he is a twelve-year-old boy, he still shows enough respect.

Uncle Wang is an elder, so he doesn't have to say anything about Jia Huan, he is very casual.

Jia Huan nodded.

A former political envoy, the current Nanjing Hubu Shangshu, the power in his hometown, does it need to be said? It is easy to cover up the movement of a batch of grain.

…

…

When more than a dozen grain ships arrived in Jinling, they were quite low-key. Even if someone sees it on the dock, it will take time for the news to spread.

However, Jia Huan announced his return in a special way.

At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon of 16 September, half an hour after the arrival of the grain ship, all the grain sales points in Nanjing's household department posted notices: The price of rice is six coins and one stone of silver. At the same time, rice grains began to be sold at this price.

A tsunami-like wave hit Jinling City. and, some people in the city. (To be continued.) )
