It was only a few hours to go north, and he arrived in Yangzhou, Xue Pan first got off the boat and went to see Lin Ruhai, this is just a little distance, not a stop to rest, Xue Pan couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Lin Ruhai, but he hadn't seen him for half a year, Lin Ruhai had a white beard and a haggard face, "How did Shibo become like this?" Xue Pan hurriedly asked, "Could it be that he is busy with business?" ”

Lin Ruhai coughed and waved his hand, "It's just that some people are not in good health these days, and I have a fever for several days, otherwise it wouldn't be like this." ”

Xue Pan also ordered Lin Ruhai to come with his ship to take a look at Lin Ruhai's pulse, Lin Ruhai said that he didn't have to, "The medical officer here has already seen it, saying that it is hot and dry in summer, and it is not suitable to take supplements, and when it turns cool in autumn, use a few pairs of ointments, and you can make it up." ”

Xue Pan saw Lin Ruhai say this, but it was okay, "There is nothing busy in business, but it is just in order," Lin Ruhai coughed again and again, "I just want to send the salt of Lianghuai to the sea outside Yizhou, and I am still planning here, so I am a little tired." ”

"Shibo has earned 20,000 taels of silver for the imperial court in the old years, and the rest of the people, even if they are capable officials, can not earn so much silver in a lifetime, to put it mildly, no matter how bloody the soldiers in front of them fight, if there is no silver money, grain and grass, it is difficult to move an inch, this is a great merit, I want my nephew to say, there is no need to work so hard in the future, you can raise birds and flowers, and live a comfortable life for a few years, why bother to be so tired? It's okay for others to be jealous and hateful, and it's the most unworthy thing if you are tired of your body. Xue Pan sighed, "It's better to take care of yourself, even if it's for your father's worries, you don't have to rush at this moment." ”

"I don't know the truth," Lin Ruhai said, "It's just that the saint doesn't have much time to do the government, I really hope that the people below will do everything well, and do it beautifully, so that they can straighten out the government and the government, and the things here in the Lianghuai salt industry will be smoother, and there will be a lot less troubles in the saint." ”

Lin Ruhai said this, Xue Pan had nothing to say, not to mention Lin Ruhai, and this Zhen Yingjia had not been seen for several days, this time goodbye, I finally took some time to come out to meet, Xue Pan didn't have time to say anything about Jia Yu Village, Zhen Yingjia served tea and sent it off, and his uncle Wang Ziteng, without him saying in the letter how busy he was, just said that he appeared frequently in the newspaper, which shows that these imperial party figures are indeed very busy.

"The Holy Lord has the grace of knowing me," Lin Ruhai looked haggard, but his face was firm, "Now is the time to employ people, if my generation does not serve the Holy Monarch, how can I be worthy of this red robe and python suit on my body?" ”

Xue Pan sighed secretly in his heart, Lin Ruhai is all right, he is funny, principled and knows how to be flexible, and he is also first-class good to his family, but maybe the emperor was really good to him back then, and he was full of intentions to serve the monarch, Xue Pan was an outsider in the end, and he was not very interested in the matter of being loyal to the monarch, since Lin Ruhai said so, he didn't want to say anything, he just wanted to take some of the rare medicinal materials at home to Lin Ruhai to replenish his body. Lin Ruhai said suddenly, "Virtuous nephew, you are outstanding, I know everything, why don't you also hurry up, run errands, and share worries for the saints, how about it?" ”

Xue Pan shook his head, "How much burden can my nephew's shoulders carry?" Being able to raise this family well, the nephew is very happy, there are other errands to do or not, Shibo can't help but look down on the nephew too much. ”

Lin Ruhai smiled, "It's not up to you to say this, I'm your elder, I can naturally teach you, if you don't want to, I ask Brother Long Qing to come out, he must also hope that your nephew can do a good job, the children of the family, there are not many young people like you who have vision and means, there are not many, the family and the family, if you don't use it well, it will naturally be a mix of food and death for a lifetime, if you use it well, then the green clouds will go straight up, faster than others." ”

Xue Pan was a little squirming, but it was not good not to ask, he was also prepared to think about it a lot, "Sister Lin went to the capital, how are you doing?" ”

Lin Ruhai smiled and nodded at Xue Pan, "It's cheap, it is said that the sisters get along well, her grandfather's family, there are many girls of the same age, and they are compatible with each other. ”

Lin Ruhai said some trivial things, Xue Pan listened very carefully, although the two of them were old acquaintances in the past, but Xue Pan should not write directly to Rongguo Mansion, after all, he and Lin Daiyu are not real relatives, and the place in Rongguo Mansion, Xue Pan has not gone yet, but he also knows that it is a place where people are terrible, if Daiyu and the man outside have such frequent correspondence, I am afraid that there will be no good reputation. Therefore, Xue Pan didn't write letters, but occasionally had any fresh and unique gadgets, all of which were entrusted to Yangzhou for Lin Ruhai to send, and he wouldn't do it directly.

"Speaking of which, I haven't received a letter from her for some days," Lin Ruhai prepared the things to bring into the capital, "You take it to the capital and give it to her." ”

Xue Pan nodded, "I also prepared a lot of good things for my sister, Shibo brought this to me, it's cheap." ”

Lin Ruhai talked about his daughter, and couldn't help but have a gentle smile on his face, "Her temperament, I'm afraid that she is in her grandfather's house, and it won't be easy to be happy, these days are a little busy, and after these days, she will also grow up, and then let her go back to Yangzhou to accompany me, if the nephew is in the capital at that time, you might as well help escort it back." ”

"It's nature. My sister's business is my business. ”

The last trip to Yangzhou, many things have been agreed, at this time the two have a tacit understanding, but there is no need to say anything else, so even if Daiyu's matter is said, today Xue Pan is still preparing to set off, so he is not nonsense, just take an important matter briefly, he said about Jia Yucun, at this time he can't help but say a little indignant, Lin Ruhai is an old officialdom after all, the matter here, as long as there is a little bit wrong, he can hear it, "Jia Yucun is actually such a person......" Lin Ruhai pondered, "It's a capricious villain, counting it, his official position is the credit of the old man and Rongguofu, plus the great help of Brother Long Qing, no matter what, it shouldn't be like this to you, so the only explanation ......"

"What is it?" Xue Pan hurriedly asked.

"He has something else to rely on!" 19610
