In early October, the city of Yangzhou became noisy because of the new governor of Huaiyang. The chief officials www.biquge.info of Huai'an Mansion, Yangzhou Mansion, Fengyang Mansion, and Luzhou Mansion sent two officials and staff members to Yangzhou to congratulate the new governor.

In the former Ming Dynasty, the position of governor of Huaiyang should be called the governor of Fengyang. Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is a native of Fengyang. Fengyang was the central capital of the Ming Dynasty. But in this dynasty, the status of Fengyang Mansion, which had been harmed for ten years and nine harms, was not so high, and it was renamed Governor Huaiyang. Because, the residence of the governor of Huaiyang is usually in Huai'an Mansion, the throat of Huanghuai.

As we all know, the Yellow River changes its course every few years, often taking it into the sea, which is very harmful. The Grand Canal flowing through Huaiyang and Huaiyang is the economic artery of the capital, and the money, grain, and products in the south of the Yangtze River rely on the canal to enter the capital. The imperial court set up the Huaiyang governor, usually to ensure the smooth transportation of the Grand Canal. And Sha Sheng's dispatch lacked "Prime Minister Caoyun, who is also in charge of the river". In other words, his main focus will be: the Prime Minister's rectification of the salt law.

Therefore, Sha Futai is stationed in Yangzhou, and no one will say that he is greedy for the comfort of Yangzhou.

In the hustle and bustle of meeting Shangguan, in the beginning of winter, there are two interesting stories in Yangzhou City.

Fun fact 1: Zheng Wenzhi, the son of a salt merchant who committed a felony, was released from the county jail in Jiangdu County one day. Zheng laughed loudly in front of the court, arrogant, "I knew that I was going to be released today, why did Shen Xianzun bother in the first place." ”

However, before Zheng's words fell, Sha Futai's warrant arrived, and the county government patrol pounced on the tiger and tied it up and dragged him to prison. Zheng has not yet been released.

At the time, everyone laughed at his arrogance and pride, less than more, and not self-sufficient. It is rumored that the possibility of being beheaded after the autumn is very great.

Interesting fact 2: Zheng Yuanjian, a big salt merchant in Yangzhou, refused Sha Futai's kindness to negotiate the arrears of the salt class in person the day before yesterday, and was recently sentenced to pay 200,000 taels of silver for the salt class.

Yangzhou gentlemen said in unison: deserve it!

This kind of face-slapping and reversing plot has always been preferred by the public. Otherwise, how can there be so many cases in folklore of coming back to avenge their parents and wives after winning the top prize in the reading exam? What's more, in the anecdote, the image of the old man of Futai is so glorious and magnificent?

When the two anecdotes spread to Jinling, Jia Huan had been studying in Nanjing Guozijian for several days. Listening to the students in the Hall of Justice talking about this, I just smiled, and the cold wind of early winter outside the window blew the branches of the dead trees.

helped Mr. Sha become the governor of Huaiyang and took the power of the prime minister to rectify the salt law, and he retired successfully.

He was not interested in staying and enjoying the glory of the governor's core staff. At his age, it's not a good thing to bear too much attention. Those who are good at fighting have no great feats.

Jia Huan flipped through the handouts in front of his desk, and familiar words and sentences appeared in his eyes and mind one by one. He has already cooked these scriptures and memorized them by heart.

"Ding, ding, ding."

At noon, the sound of the cloud board sounded on time. Dozens of inmates studying in the school hall got up one after another and prepared to go to dinner. Tables and chairs make a noise when they move.

When Jia Huan closed the pages of the book, he remembered Daiyu who had returned to Suzhou, and calculated the time, she should go to Jinling.

…

In the early winter, the gardens and courtyards of Jiafu are still so magnificent. It's just a little more hustle and bustle. The news from the south has spread all over Jiafu: the name of the poem of Huan Sanye has spread to the south of the Yangtze River, and there is also the name of Miss Bao.

In addition, Aunt Lin didn't have it on the third day of September, so she was lonely with the third master of Huan. At this time, Second Master Lian took Miss Lin to Suzhou. Looking back, Miss Lin will live in Jinling for two years. It is estimated that he will return to the capital at the end of the thirteenth year of Yongzhi.

Wang Ziteng and Jia Zheng both agreed, and Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang had no opinions. Because Xue Baochai's name spread all over the world, Jia's mother said a word of "nonsense" and there was no follow-up. Jia Huan and Xue Baochai's marriage is about a thin layer of window paper. Aunt Xue knows it in her heart. It's just a matchmaker to break through. Wang Xifeng privately congratulated Aunt Xue several times, but she didn't see Aunt Xue say she disagreed.

However, Xue Pan secretly scolded Jia Huan behind his back, "The black-hearted Wang Ba wants to marry my sister." Hmph, hum. "Trouble, the dumb overlord will definitely not dare to make trouble. If you really want to mess this matter up, God knows how Jia Huan will hit his board when he comes back? Besides, in all fairness, his sister's marriage to Jia Huan is not humiliating. The point is that his sister is willing too! He was thinking about one thing, if her sister married Jia Huan, wouldn't Xiangling have to bring it over? Therefore, Huan Laosan is a king and eight! Say no, or snatch Xiangling?

Xue Pan wanted to cry a little.

Regarding the fact that Lin Daiyu would not return to Jiafu until two years later, such as Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and others, I didn't have any feelings. Jia Mu was very reluctant. But because it was Lin Ruhai's last life, she was helpless.

As for whether it is reliable for Tuo Gu to Jia Huan? There are opinions in Jiafu. Jia Zheng was not very satisfied with his brother-in-law's decision. Jia Lian brought Lin Ruhai's last letter, and he could not arrive in Jiafu until after November.

Jia Yu was calculating the assets of the Lin family in his heart. Everything will not be known until Jia Lian returns to Jiafu.

Jia Huan also sent a number of letters to Jia's mansion to Jia Zheng and Tanchun respectively. The letter to Jia Zheng provides a slight explanation. In the letter to my sister Tanchun, he described the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River and described the feelings of parting. Entrust the third sister to say hello to Aunt Zhao, Baochai, and the sisters in the house.

In the past few days, Baoyu often sighed and frowned, and said to the maids: "You say, Uncle Lin is so good, how can you entrust the third child to take care of Sister Lin?" Can he do it? Alas..., Sister Lin..."

Baoyu's eldest maid and Qian Xue both smiled coquettishly and comforted: "Second master, there must be a reason why Aunt Lin did this." The third master said that he would live for two years, maybe the court would open an Enke tomorrow, and he would come back. ”

Because of Jia Huan, the whole Jia Mansion made up for the process of the imperial examination.

Baoyu shook her head and sighed. He felt something might happen.

In the pear incense courtyard in the northeast corner of Jiafu, the afternoon sun falls on the courtyard. There were a few sparrows fluttering around on the eaves and branches. The well water in the patio was cold. Ying'er took half a basin of water and brought it to the house.

Baochai was wearing a goose-yellow gown, with a delicate face and elegant temperament, holding a brush and writing in front of the desk. Bright eyes and cool teeth, snow-white and lustrous beauty. A cup of warm tea in hand exudes a fresh fragrance.

Ying'er took a delicate emerald green bamboo tube and filled it with well water, walked over to polish the ink, and saw the title written on the white bamboo paper: Water Tune Song Head. The ugly Mid-Autumn Festival, Yangzhou made this article, and Huai Baochai.

The corners of the coquettish big girl Ying'er couldn't help but smile slightly. Everyone in the house thinks that Miss Lin won't come back for two years, but won't the third master come back after two years? Then take the exam, and then get married. They girls don't read?

Baochai is finishing writing the world-famous poem "Water Tune Song Tou - When Will the Bright Moon Be There", and wrote about "dancing to figure out the shadow", seeing Ying'er standing aside and watching, the face of the country and Tianxiang showed a look of shame, bright and elegant. Whispered, "My tea is cold." ”

This is the third time she has written it today. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. The hidden thoughts in my heart are like a gurgling stream flowing through my heart.

Ying'er pursed her lips and smiled, "Oh, I'll go now." ”

Outside the window, the winter sun warmly falls on the clean stone slabs, flowing with mottled traces of light and shadow.

…

In the Yangtze River at night, several river boats sailed. From Suzhou along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, through Changzhou, Zhenjiang to Jinling in a large boat, a light is faint.

Daiyu woke up in the middle of the night and asked Zijuan, who was guarding her, to light the oil lamp and think lonely. The starry sky outside the ship is dotted.

We will be in Jinling tomorrow morning. She will live in Jinling for two years. What does the future hold?

It was very cold on a winter night. Zijuan wore a dark blue cotton jacket, sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "Do you want to drink tea?" I'll pour it out for you. ”

Daiyu hesitated, her graceful and delicate face had a different kind of beauty under the lamp, nodded gently, and said softly: "I'm tired of you." ”

"What did the girl say?" Zijuan poured the tea with a smile, served Daiyu and sat up to drink a few sips of hot tea, and comforted: "Girl, take care of yourself." I thought that the third master was in Jinling, and everything must have been arranged. ”

Lin Daiyu thought about it and nodded.

….

At about seven or eight o'clock in the morning, the boat arrived at Jinling. Jia Lian had already sent his henchman Zhao'er to Jiafu in the city to report the news.

Jia Huan took Qian Huai, Hu Xiaosi and several servants of Jiafu to wait in the teahouse of Jinchuanmen Waijinchuanmen. got the letter and came to pick up Daiyu.

The wharf is unusually prosperous, with water and dense goods. People come and go, and people are boiling. The boatman laid the planks. Jia Huan took people on board. The matter of carrying the luggage was handled by Qian Huai and a few people.

"Brother Huan..."Jia Lian waited on the deck, looking tired, and was very emotional when he saw Jia Huan. He traveled all the way to take care of Daiyu, which was very hard!

Jia Huan said with a smile: "Second Brother Lian has worked hard all the way. "Jia Lian is still reliable in doing small things. Immediately, he went to the cabin with Jia Lian and drank tea and talked. In addition, send someone to inform Daiyu and others.

The cabins are cleanly furnished. To say how luxurious and comfortable it is is nonsense. Being away from home is such a condition.

Sitting at the table drinking tea, Jia Lian pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Huan, I will sell Uncle Lin's real estate and house in Suzhou, and I will show you the accounts later..."

Jia Huan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Second Brother Lian can know it in his heart." I don't want to ask about it. But the uncle in the house, the second brother Lian has to explain the accounts clearly. ”

Jia Lian laughed, his smile a little more comfortable, "That's." Hey, don't talk about it, I'll invite Brother Huan to eat and drink when I go back, but I want to invite a well-known prostitute in the capital to borrow the name of Brother Huan. Ha ha! ”

Jia Huan's reputation in Jiangnan, he had heard of it. It's very enviable! In the past few days he has been in Jiangnan, he has never seen any of the four famous prostitutes in Jiangnan.

In addition to the 800,000 taels of silver given by Uncle Lin, these fields, houses, and utensils were sold for a total of 200,000 taels of silver. Jia Lian understood what Jia Huan meant: If you have a private collection of silver, just fool the uncle, I don't care.

Jia Lian did swallow a sum of three thousand taels of silver in private. In a business, there are hundreds of taels up and down, who can say clearly?

"It's okay to eat and drink, just invite a famous prostitute." Jia Huan smiled and drank tea. He wouldn't care if Jia Lian was greedy or not. This was authorized by Lin Ruhai to Jia Lian to deal with it. It can be regarded as Jia Lian's hard-earned money. He only cares about Daiyu's use. However, Jia Lian helped to fool Jia Yu, and he was easy to talk after he returned to Jia's mansion.

At this time, Xiao Xing'er replied outside: "Second master, third master, Miss Lin and Aunt Pei are ready to get off the boat." ”

Jia Huan nodded and ordered, "Then let's go." (To be continued.) )
