The early autumn sunset hangs on the mountains and city towers, and it is reluctant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoOn the Qinhuai River, there are gradually more painting boats.

Jia Huan and Lin Qianwei stood side by side by the window in the cabin hall, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window: half the river and half the red.

When a big beauty falls in love with you, and you happen to have feelings for her, in fact, everything is a floating cloud. It doesn't get in the way. From three or four o'clock in the afternoon to five or six o'clock now, time flies.

Lin Qianwei was dressed in a white dress, with a slender and tall figure, and her bright face still had the shy crimson after kissing and caressing. From time to time, he tilted his head and looked at Jia Huan's body. The first taste of the joy of the two loves, the shyness and sweet emotions are singing in the bottom of my heart.

Jia Huan laughed. Give a great beauty to admire. This feeling is something that a man would be proud of. And when holding her, she is delicate and tactful, giving and demanding, and you can touch it wherever you want, which is even more crazy. However, he didn't go any further to "bully" her, and he stopped at a shallow level.

He still appreciates and respects Lin Qianwei. I don't want to violate her just because of desire. She loves this relationship more deeply. And he was only beginning to accept her in his heart.

There was no small talk or no speech at all. As the night gradually fell, when he was about to reach Wuding Bridge, Jia Huan remembered something and asked, "Weiwei, how are you going to make me remember you for the rest of my life in the afternoon?" ”

When Lin Qianwei made a decision in the afternoon, she threw away a hateful word. He was a little curious. This girl's temperament doesn't look like Li Mochou. After the martial arts were completed, he went to the capital to take revenge on him, which was too martial arts. It's just life.

Speaking of this, Lin Qianwei was a little embarrassed, a bright smile flashed across the corner of her mouth, turned her head to look out the window, and did not speak. Of course she has a way. With the level of her singing, it is enough to teach her disciples, so that Jia Huan can hear the tune she sang for him in the capital: the madness of the child.

Jia Huan smiled and didn't ask.

When the boat had not stopped on the shore, in the light night, there were several people dressed as scholars and Qian Huai leaning over on the shore.

"Qing'er, is the third master on the ship?"

"Yes."

Jia Huan came out of the cabin, and Ji Ming, Xiao You'an, and Master He on the shore anxiously ignored the occasion, and said, "Ziyu, I just received the news that the Yellow River burst three days ago. Huainan has become a Ze country. Shafutai invites you to go to Yangzhou. ”

Jia Huan was slightly stunned. The Yellow River has been harmed nine times in ten years. It is true that there has been more rain in the Jianghuai region this year. Mr. Sha is the governor of Huaiyang, and although he is not in charge of the river, disaster relief is definitely a matter of his duties.

Ji Ming arched his hand and said, "Ziyu, Hubu Wei Shangshu invited you to go to Hubu through the mountain chief to assist him in handling the matter of grain transfer and disaster relief. This is a handwritten letter from the mountain chief and Wei Shangshu. ”

Jia Huan was stunned again. Immediately I realized that the situation was extremely serious. Immediately, I said a few words to Lin Qianwei, who came out to the bow of the boat, and then told Qian Huai to send her back first, and then to Daiyu and others at home.

"Let's go, let's talk as we go." Jia Huan went ashore, changed boats on the shore, and went to Dongcheng District of Jinling, where the Liubu Yamen of Nanjing was located, with a few people.

Watching everyone's boat disappear into the night, Qing'er stomped her feet and said dissatisfiedly: "Eh..., what a negative gentleman." "I won't drop them off these few steps.

Lin Qianwei said angrily: "Okay, Qing'er." Jia Lang is doing big things. "Naturally, her insight is better than that of the maid. High-ranking officials rushed to send people to invite Jia Huan to prove his ability and status.

Qian Huai on the side lowered his head, his eyes rolling slightly. As soon as you hear the title, you know what's going on. Yes, in an afternoon's effort, the well-known Lin family in Jiangnan will become the aunt and grandmother of the family. The third master's "blessing"!

…

…

The news of the Yellow River's breach of the embankment spread throughout Jinling City in a very short time. The atmosphere in the city is tight. After the disaster in Huainan, all kinds of things and material prices in Jinling City will be affected, and maybe there will be displaced people coming to Jinling City. The Yellow River is about to be harmed every few years, and people are not panicking, but in the end, it will affect the life of the city.

Restaurants, restaurants, teahouses, docks, green buildings and other places all kinds of news flying. There is talk of the flooding of the Huainan River everywhere. The price of rice sold by Chenjia Rice Store has quietly risen by 30%. It has risen from six coins of silver and one stone of rice in peacetime to eight coins of silver and one stone of rice.

On the morning of July 24, Lin Qianwei went to Jia Huan's house to sit for a while, and Aunt Pei and Qingwen entertained her with a cup of tea. Daiyu didn't want to see her.

Lin Qianwei knew that Jia Huan had not come back, but went to Yangzhou, the lovesickness in her heart was difficult to get rid of, and she was in a bad mood, so she took the maid Yunyao and Qing'er to Xiaomeng Pavilion by boat.

In the morning, business in Xiaomeng Pavilion was light. Mother Jin reprimanded a few little girls in the backyard building, and when she saw Lin Qianwei coming in, she waved her hand to send away a few little girls who had broken the rules, and beckoned Lin Qianwei to sit in the house for a while, "My aunt, you have really been nesting in He'an Street for the past two months." How's that, did you get that kid? ”

The little maid came in and served tea. Lin Qianwei smiled, and the sorrow between her eyebrows and eyes could not be eliminated. Picked up the life during this time and told Jin's mother.

Mother Jin glared and said, "What did you say?" Makes you wait five years? You're stupid. So promised? That little white face must have lied to you. It's so unreliable. Five years later, you'll be twenty-three years old. Does he want you to say both? If it doesn't work, you'd better hurry up and find another one. Three-legged toads are hard to find, and two-legged men are still hard to find? ”

Lin Qianwei nagged Mother Jin, was in a better mood, and chuckled: "Mother Jin, don't patronize and speak ill of him." Be careful, he asked the Ministry of Rites to seal your Xiaomeng Pavilion. Fang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is his teacher. ”

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the Department of Religious Workshops. And the Qinglou on the Qinhuai River is the largest industry of the Teaching Workshop Division.

Mother Jin said angrily: "The old lady doesn't eat this set." If he dares to seal my Xiaomeng Pavilion. I'll go and mess with you every day. I can't give him a daughter for nothing, can I? "She's a daughter with a solid idea. If you are willing to listen to her advice, you will not quit at the most popular age. In the industry of famous prostitutes, he began to think about quitting and marrying at the age of 212.

Lin Qianwei giggled.

Mother Jin said again: "What are you going to do when you come back today?" ”

Lin Qianwei said: "I'm in a hurry, come and help my mother teach the little girl to sing." ”

…

…

Three days flew by. On July 27, when Jia Huan returned to Jinling from Yangzhou, at his home on He'an Street, Daiyu, Aunt Pei, Qingwen, Ruyi, Zijuan, and Raiden sat around for dinner at noon, and the atmosphere was slightly dull.

Daiyu ate rice with chopsticks, frowned, and said softly: "The third brother has been gone for almost ten days, right?" ”

Qingwen, who was eating at the next table, nodded and responded, "Hmm." asked Qian Huai to come back and get his clothes. There was a deep worry in his tone.

Aunt Pei looked at it and said with relief: "Don't worry. The Sha Governor of Yangzhou sent someone to invite the third master, he is a staff member and a think tank, and there will be no danger. ”

Lunch was quickly dispersed. Aunt Pei returned to the house and opened the picture scroll in the room, admiring the sketch that Jia Huan had drawn for her not long ago. Without the slightest error.

Thinking of his twelve-year-old age, he was involved in these big things. Such a talent is very rare. It's a pity that I'm already engaged to the daughter of the Xue family. If she didn't know that he was the character of missing the old love, she would have wanted to be a villain and fight for Yu'er.

"Alas..."Aunt Pei shook her head with a smile. I thought of Lin Qianwei next door again. She's got a good eye!

…

…

Zhen family.

Zheng Yuanjian, a salt merchant from Yangzhou, was talking to Zhen Li, and there was no one else in the quiet room. "Uncle Zhen, the Huainan flood, the salt farm is completely destroyed, this year's private salt profits must be fifty percent, otherwise I will be chopped up, and I will not be able to take it out."

Zhen Li frowned, calmed his face, and said, "There's no way at all?" "The Zhen family has a piece of the private salt, about hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. But this money was offered to the prince by the eldest girl. Even though the Zhen family was facing the pressure of a deficit, they did not touch the silver.

Zheng Yuanjian said resolutely: "No." "My uncle, the salt works are all ruined, even if I can organize people to transport salt, where can I transport salt?" ”

Zhen Li glanced at Zheng Yuanjian with a smile, "I hope Zheng Yuanwai doesn't lie to me." "The Zhen family is now in decline. Zheng Yanshang said that it was difficult for him to judge the truth of the situation. However, it may not be that there is no intention to take the opportunity to get rid of the Zhen family.

Zheng Yuanjian cursed: "Uncle Zhen, if I have a lie, my whole family will not die well." ”

Zhen Li pondered for a moment and nodded.

A quarter of an hour later, Zheng Yuanjian came out of Zhen's house with his entourage, and after sitting in the carriage, a sneer suddenly appeared on his face. Child, you're still a little tender.

"Go around and go to Chen's house again."

…

…

Chen Zizhen's daily work not only helps his father to deal with affairs, but also needs to manage the foreign affairs of the Chen family. His younger brother's ability is limited, and he still has to be in charge of the money business. Recently, there was a flood in Huainan, and my father often had to go to the Yamen of the Six Ministries in Nanjing to discuss matters. He was getting busier.

On the morning of the end of July, after Chen Zizhen got up, he listened to the housekeeper's report while eating breakfast in the front yard.

"The price of rice has risen to one tael of silver and one stone?"

"Yes, sir. This is the price negotiated by the peers of the Rice Industry Guild. We Chen Jiale are kind and charitable, and the rice line is also the largest, but we can't offend most of our peers. ”

Chen Zizhen thought for a while, "Okay." I know. Jinling briefing, you keep an eye on it. They will definitely report when the price of rice rises. They like to pay attention to the short things in these parents all day long. When necessary, you should go to the country. ”

The butler nodded knowingly, "Hmm." Uncle rest assured, there will be no reports that damage the reputation of our Chen family. ”

Chen Zizhen smiled with emotion, "Zizhi, Zize is as effective as Uncle Liu, I have to save a lot every day." ”

…

…

On the afternoon of July 29, Jia Huan rushed back to Jinling, and before he could catch his breath at home, he sent someone to Wei Hong to call Wei Hong to Wei Mansion in the evening.

It was late at night, and the sound of dogs barking in the alley could be heard. The moon is cloudy. The street in front of the Guard House was quiet. Jia Huan entered the Wei Mansion through the side door.

Tobe Shangshu Weihong was already waiting in the inner study. When people are old, they don't want to get up when they sleep. Therefore, he has been waiting for Jia Huan. Seeing Jia Huan coming in, he smiled and said, "Ziyu has worked hard all the way. But there was one thing that I had to discuss with Ziyu. ”

Jia Huan smiled bitterly, sat on the chair tiredly, and said, "Wei Situ is polite." ”

Wei Hong said: "The imperial court ordered the transfer of grain from the grain depot in Nanjing to Huainan for relief of the victims. But the grain in the granary has long been exchanged for the new, shoddy, and I have let people see it, and they can't eat it at all. Shipping to Huainan also doesn't solve the problem. I have folded it to the Son of Heaven.

Only now is that the only way to do this is to let the big merchants donate silver to buy grain and transport it to the Huainan area. However, yesterday, the price of rice in Jinling City has risen to one tael or two taels of silver. Doubled. It's a bastard. It is difficult to make a nation.

Behind the price of rice, the Chen family is manipulating. I talked to Chen Gaolang in the afternoon, and he pushed it cleanly. I want to ask Ziyu, do you dare to poke this matter out at the Jinling briefing? (To be continued.) )
