The sudden change in the weather on February 15 was not as sunny as the day before, and the wind was a little strong but could not blow away the gloom of the sky, just like Wanyu's mood at the moment. Standing on the side of the boat and looking at Yangzhou City, which was gradually moving away, Wanyu bit her red lip lightly, her eyes were full of attachment and reluctance, and she couldn't help but hug the blue puppet in her arms a little tighter.

The time with Daiyu is very short, but Wanyu just likes this sister, and this sister is also worthy of her sincere treatment, Daiyu's birthday knew that Wanyu was going to leave on the 15th, always remember to promise Wanyu to do a blue sister for her, and finally completed it this morning, Daiyu was inconvenient to come and see her off, and sent Grandma Sun to Wanyu to the dock. A pair of puppets in her arms, still with blue skin and golden hair, one wearing a golden skirt and the other wearing a pink skirt, the blue sister in the golden skirt has a daffodil hairpin embroidered on her head, and the blue sister in the pink skirt has a white jade bracelet on her wrist. Wanyu knew that the golden one was herself, and the pink one was Daiyu. Plus grandma grandma is one more person who can talk? A few words let Wanyu know that Daiyu was two puppets who came out in two nights in a row, not to mention the cuteness and chic of the puppets, just this heart Wanyu was moved. Cuiliu put a thin cloak on Wanyu's shoulder and said, "The county lord go in, it's windy here." Wanyu was unconscious. But the boat went down the river, and soon Yangzhou City disappeared from sight. Wan Yu muttered, "I really want to stay with this lovely sister for a while." But I don't know when we will see each other again. ”

Wanyu is gone, Daiyu's life is still going on, on the third day of the first month of March, Jia Min held a banquet in the mansion to entertain the wives and wives of officials of all sizes in Yangzhou City, Daiyu followed Jia Min to help greet those girls and young ladies, and Jia Lian also helped greet the young master who came with him in the outer courtyard. And Jia Lian didn't know that someone in the capital at this time had already hit him with his idea, and he didn't know that Jia's mother had already resented him, and he didn't know that he was about to leave Yangzhou and return to Kyoto.

On the day that King Wujun set off, Lin Ruhai's recital had been sent to the imperial front. The emperor frowned as soon as he read two pages, the treasury was empty, and there was a shortage of gold and silver for disaster relief every year, and the finances used by these officials and merchants to bribe reached more than 100,000 yuan just once. Seeing that the emperor was furious, he also knew that he should not be in a hurry. Looking down further, the emperor was very happy, Lin Ruhai not only reported the truth, but also sorted out the accounts and presented them very clearly. Before Jia Yu returned Yitian, it was still something that originally belonged to the treasury, and the emperor was already very satisfied, not to mention that now, the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver presented by Lin Ruhai were still an additional harvest?

Lin Ruhai made it clear that he had accepted and sealed this batch of property, and hoped that the emperor would accept this batch of property. If the emperor received this amount of money, either those people would restrain it, or he would 'increase his investment,' which would also be beneficial to the treasury. Even if it is used to build roads and bridges, it is good, not to mention that there are many places that need disaster relief. How could the emperor not be satisfied with such a considerate and loyal courtier? Even if the emperor was annoyed and annoyed by the chaos of Yangzhou officialdom, he was also pleased and satisfied with Lin Hai, thinking that his vision was not bad. In particular, the account book submitted by Lin Ruhai uses a brand-new method, only looking at the account description, except for some so-called Indian numbers that are more troublesome, the accounts in other aspects can be described as clear and clear at a glance, even laymen can easily understand it. It is more difficult to falsify the accounts, and if there are not many people who know how to do so, who will dare to falsify them? This filled the emperor's heart with joy.

So the emperor immediately summoned the fourth prince who was in charge of the household department and the seventh prince who was in charge of the internal affairs office, and wanted the two of them to learn this law and use it in these two key places. The Seven Princes saw that this new accounting method was only full of novelty, but the Four Princes, who had been in charge of the household department for many years, knew the shortcomings of it, but their eyes lit up. The two princes couldn't help but ask in unison: "I don't know who offered such a new and ingenious method?" The emperor saw that the two princes were very appreciative of this method, and said happily in his heart: "It's funny to say, this method was actually thought up by the only daughter of the two Huai Patrol Salt Imperial Shi Linhai." The emperor saw that the seventh prince raised his eyebrows in disbelief, and the fourth prince frowned and said with a smile: "You don't know, this method is because Lin Hai's wife is weak and sick, and his daughter is the housekeeper. Speaking of this, the emperor took a sip of tea before he smiled again: "Lin Ruhai and Yangzhou went to the post of salt patrol, and the accounts were chaotic and difficult to clear. This woman offered this method to him, because she felt sorry for her father's fatigue. I didn't want Lin Hai to borrow this method and then clear the account book, and Lin Hai also used this method after borrowing this method, and Lin Hai also used this method for the account book I gave me. What do you think of today? ”

At this time, the Seventh Prince's eyes were full of curiosity and couldn't help asking, "How old is Lin Hai's daughter?" So smart! The fourth prince had no superfluous expression on his cold face as always, and the emperor wanted to stab him when he saw his expression, and glanced at the seventh prince and the fourth prince, and the emperor smiled: "You would never have thought that this girl is seven years old!" ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention the Seven Princes, even the Four Princes couldn't help but widen their eyes and asked, "Is this what Lin Hai said?" When the emperor saw that the four princes had broken their merits, he smiled very happily in his heart: "This is still a new trick that I saw Lin Hai playing. Fang asked someone to investigate Fang, originally thinking that this method was obtained by Lin Hai or the staff around him, but who knew that when the investigation came back, this method was obtained by a child. And it's not just this year, it is said that the girl has come up with this method for one or two years to use in the back house of the Lin Mansion. It's a pity......" After speaking, the emperor shook his head and sighed, this girl is too young...... The Seventh Prince didn't know what the emperor was sorry for, so he couldn't help asking, "I don't know why my father sighed?" This woman's intelligence is my **** luck. What a pity? ”

The emperor squinted at the Seventh Prince, thinking that the Seventh is not too young, why is it still not big? But he didn't say much. The fourth prince said: "It's a pity that this is a boudoir woman, if it is a man, it will be my **** pillar in the future!" After speaking, he shook his head. Although what the four princes said was not the same as what the emperor thought, this was also a pity for the emperor, so he sighed again.

Since the emperor mentioned Lin Hai here, the four princes remembered Huang Jiyun, who had been away from Beijing for many years. It turned out that Huang Jiyun was actually the person of the Four Princes. The resignation of the government was suddenly even more distant, which made it impossible to delve into it. But I don't know that it is to attract talents for the four princes, with Huang Jiyun's reputation in Confucianism and his temperament, the four princes also believe that the people they make friends must be extraordinary. At this time, the fourth prince Fang remembered that Huang Jiyun had only accepted one disciple over the years, and that was the daughter of Lin Hai. The fourth prince originally thought that Huang Jiyun was doing this to help him win over Lin Hai, but now it seems that he is going to ask carefully.

Not to mention what the four princes planned in their hearts, they just listened to the emperor say: "Calling the two of you here today is to let the two of you use this method for the household department and the internal affairs office." Ten days later, I personally checked the accounts. The four princes and the seventh prince immediately knelt down and agreed, and after getting up, the four princes thought about it and said: "Enlighten the father, the sons think that this law is obtained by the women of the boudoir, and it is rumored that it is not beautiful after all." If it is not recorded on the head of the forest sea, there will be no complaints when I think about it. Moreover, although this method was not obtained by Lin Hai, but he thought that the two Huai Yanzheng had already used it, where should he have someone who could already use this method, if Lin Hai had sent an order to him to send people, wouldn't it be much better for us to explore it ourselves? When the emperor heard this, he did not say anything, and waved his hand to let the two brothers go down. Half a day later, the group left Beijing and went straight to Yangzhou. Lin Ruhai received the order on March 16, which shows how non-stop the people came all the way.

The person who came did not go to the yamen but came directly to the official residence, and Jia Lian welcomed the person into the main hall to sit on one side, and ordered someone to inform Jia Min. As soon as Jia Min heard that someone from Beijing was coming, he just thought it was for the batch of finances that had been sealed, so he didn't dare to slack off, and quickly sent someone to call Lin Ruhai back.

When he saw Lin Ruhai, he smiled, it was Gonggong Li who went to Gusu to preach the decree. Gonggong Li did not greet Lin Ruhai, and immediately talked about the will of the saint when he saw him as he did at the beginning. Of course, this is not the main reason why Gonggong Li personally rushed to Yangzhou, Li Gonggong said: "I heard that Lord Lin has a thousand gold, he is seven years old, and he is very smart. As soon as Lin Ruhai heard this, cold sweat began to break out on his forehead, and he didn't know what the Holy Lord meant? But he didn't dare to ask easily, so he stared at Gonggong Li tightly, how could Gonggong Li not see the nervousness in Lin Ruhai's eyes? At the beginning, he had also seen the girl of the Lin family, I don't know if she was smart or not, but she was a real beauty. Gonggong Li took a sip of tea and didn't go around the bend to scare Lin Ruhai, and said directly: "The saint heard that the name of the daughter's boudoir has the word jade, and today I will appreciate a jade Ruyi, a pair of jade bracelets, a pair of jade pendants, and a jade exquisite fragrance." Lord Lin doesn't want Ling Qianjin to come out to thank you? After speaking, seeing Lin Ruhai obviously sluggish, Fang Haha laughed out loud.

Jia Min heard that the saint had given Daiyu a reward, so he was busy changing Daiyu's clothes and hairpins, and thanked him without mentioning it. At this time, Gonggong Li changed the topic again and said: "The saint has sent an edict to Lord Lin to send two people who are familiar with the notation of the new account books to enter Beijing with the miscellaneous family. Does Lord Lin have a charter? At this time, it is necessary to hurry, and the saint is waiting for the employment of people. Lin Ruhai, who had just relaxed his mind, frowned again when he heard this, but he lowered his head and thought silently. Seeing this, Gonggong Li hurriedly asked, "Lord Lin is in trouble?" You might as well talk about it with the miscellaneous family, so you can have a discussion. "Father-in-law Li's second visit is the most important thing, but it can't be messed up, seeing Lin Ruhai's uncertain expression, he was also a little nervous.

Lin Ruhai thought about the reward that the emperor gave to Daiyu, especially the Ruyi, which could not be rewarded casually. I knew in my heart that the new account book notation estimated that the saint already knew that it was Daiyu's doing, so he didn't hide it: "I really don't hide it from my father-in-law, the new account book notation is a little girl's game, and she is a boudoir woman, how can she go to Beijing to serve in front of the emperor?" Hearing Lin Ruhai say this, Li Gonggong's eyes widened, and he instantly understood what the emperor's reward meant.

So he hurriedly asked, "Is there no one in the yamen who can use this method?" Lin Ruhai shook his head and said: "That's not it, the wife and nephew of the lower official played with the little girl when they were young, but they learned it from the little girl, and the accounts of the salt administration were sorted out by my wife and nephew this time." Only this son is not yet fifteen years old, and the imperial front is also a little smaller, and the secretary of my yamen is now learning the method of bookkeeping with this son, if he goes, what should I do in my yamen? In fact, the two staff members around Lin Ruhai learned from Jia Lian, but Lin Ruhai is also selfish.

Not to mention that Yan Zheng is inseparable from the help of these two staff, even if the emperor listens to such a good opportunity, he is also very willing to leave it to Jia Lian, who he has cultivated. But Jia Lian has no fame, and secondly, he is still young, at this time, if he puts it in two or three years, it will be a good thing, but now it is a little difficult to do.

But Gonggong Li doesn't think so, what's the matter with the people in your yamen? I'm here to be hired! Is there a way to let the people in the yamen learn first and let the saints wait? Besides, who is the secretary? So he said dissatisfiedly: "At this time, Lord Lin will take a look, the miscellaneous family will have to rush back early in the morning, and the saint is waiting!" With that, he turned around and walked out. No matter how Lin Ruhai persuaded him, he was still very proud in his heart, if he didn't go fast, he would have to wait two or three days for him to arrange it properly. Now that he has led someone back tomorrow, he can't say that the saint is happy and rewarded. The more Father-in-law Li thought about it, the more proud he became.

But I didn't know that Lin Ruhai saw that Gonggong Li was gone, and he also turned back to the study and called Jia Lian. When Lin Ruhai explained this matter to Jia Lian one by one, Jia Lian knew that he was going to return to the capital, and he couldn't say what it was like for a while. Lin Ruhai saw Jia Lian bowing his head and was silent, thinking that he was worried that something would go wrong on an errand in front of the emperor. So he told him one by one about the rules and tricks of the imperial errand. Lin Ruhai is an old official oilman, and he is very familiar with how many people go in and out of Beijing. Moreover, he treats Jia Lian as his own son, which can be said to be taught without concealment, these tricks are every word of gold and jade, every sentence is a treasure. Jia Lian naturally listened carefully and remembered it in his heart.

But when Lin Ruhai finished speaking, he found that Jia Lian still had such an expression, and he couldn't help but wonder, didn't this kid even have the comprehension of this idea? I've said it so clearly, why is it still like this? I couldn't help frowning and asked, "What else don't you understand?" While there is still time tonight, you hurriedly asked. Then Gonggong Li said that Ming'er would leave for Beijing early in the morning. Jia Lian's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he didn't dare to look up at Lin Ruhai's face, and he didn't say a word, he just lowered his head.

Lin Ruhai finally noticed that something was wrong with Jia Lian and hurriedly asked, "But what's uncomfortable?" Or is there something on my mind? Or if there is something difficult in Beijing, Lian'er might as well talk to her uncle about it. Although I am only your uncle, I have always treated you as if you were my own son. Lin Ruhai didn't forget what kind of life Jia Lian had in Rongguo Mansion, so he asked out loud.

Jia Lian listened to Lin Ruhai's words of such care, and finally couldn't help crying, and whimpered: "My nephew can't bear my uncle, aunt, or sister." The nephew has grown up to this day, only the uncle is the nephew's home, and only the uncle, aunt and sister are the nephew's relatives! After speaking, I couldn't cry. When Lin Ruhai heard Jia Lian say this, he was both relieved and amused in his heart, but also sighed.

On the face, Lin Ruhai reprimanded inconspicuously: "How old is it?" Are you still crying with me? I'm on good terms with your aunt, what's the reluctance? As both the Lin family and your home, then you have to remember that a good man has ambitions in all directions, and it is a great opportunity for you to go to the royal palace on an errand, and I am reluctant to give it to others! Besides, your father is still in Beijing, and you know his temperament, so if you go back and persuade you, we can rest assured. ”

After speaking, Lin Ruhai sighed before he said: "Originally, if it was two or three years at night, it would be the best, but it's a pity that the time doesn't wait for me, you will set off tomorrow, remember what I taught you just now, don't lose my face!" It's your sister, and you'll be her dependant in the future, right? How can I care for you all the rest of my life? After listening to Lin Ruhai's words, seeing that Lin Ruhai even wanted Daiyu to protect him in the future, Jia Lian knew that Lin Ruhai really regarded him as a son, and his heart was grateful and warm. Hurriedly nodded and said, "Uncle don't worry, my nephew will not let my uncle down." Lin Ruhai nodded, as if he was a little out of strength, sat back in the chair and waved his hand: "You go and say goodbye to your aunt and sister, I don't know what they will be sad for a while." And he said no more. Jia Lian bowed and saluted, and turned to leave.

Jia Min was obviously surprised when she learned that Jia Lian was going to return to Beijing early in the morning, and she didn't react for a while. Hurriedly called Jia Lian to his side before he asked again: "What did Lian'er say to me just now, but seeing that my aunt is old, I can't hear clearly." A pair of eyes stared at Jia Lian, how could Jia Lian say it when he saw Jia Min like this? had to kneel on the ground with tears in his eyes, and kept kowtowing to Jia Min.

Seeing Jia Lian like this, Jia Min seemed to have no money in his eyes, and said uncontrollably: "How can you say that you can leave if you live well?" "Why are you leaving?" "But you can't get used to living there?" "But what's wrong with the maid?" "What's going on?" Seeing that Jia Lian was just kneeling and not speaking, Jia Min pulled Jia Lian a little uncontrollably and said, "Lian'er, you told your aunt what happened?" How do you say just go? Not like that! Jia Lian was already sad when he saw Jia Min treating him so sincerely, and he couldn't stop his tears, as the saying goes, a man doesn't flick when he has tears, but that didn't come to the time when he was really sad.

Daiyu heard the wind and walked in, and happened to see Jia Lian kneeling, his head on the ground, his shoulders shrugged, Jia Min burst into tears and asked in his mouth. was really startled, and hurriedly stepped forward, helped Jia Min and said, "Mother, don't cry, how can you let my brother talk like this?" He said to Jia Lian again: "Brother, hurry up, don't you see that your mother is already sad like this?" When Jia Lian heard that Daiyu was coming, he wiped his tears with his sleeve, raised his head and said: "Tomorrow morning, I will return to the capital with Gonggong Li from the palace, my sister and take care of my uncle and aunt, and my uncle will return to Beijing in the future, and we will have time to get together." After saying that, the tears wet his face again, and he couldn't go on.

Daiyu was also stunned when she heard this and asked, "How do you say this?" Why are you going back to Beijing? But the eldest uncle brought a letter to ask my brother to go back? Jia Lian shook his head and choked up: "The saint wants to use the new bookkeeping method taught by my sister, so my uncle asked me to go back, saying that this is a rare opportunity to work as an errand in front of the emperor." As soon as Jia Min heard that it was Lin Ruhai's idea, he stopped doing it, and immediately said: "Don't worry about Lian'er, my aunt is here in this matter, I will call the shots for you, and the new accounting method is not only you, but how many people in the yamen will go, who can't go?" The more Jia Min thought about it, the more angry she became, but fortunately Daiyu was very calm, and thought about it: "Mother, don't talk about this, if you are known, your father still doesn't know how to complain!" No matter how many people ask for it, this is my brother's opportunity, it's creation! Hearing Daiyu say this, Jia Min also calmed down a lot, just looking at Jia Lian and crying again, but he couldn't say anything not to let him go.

Seeing that Jia Lian was still kneeling on the ground, Daiyu hurriedly let go of Jia Min and stepped forward to help Jia Lian and said, "Brother, get up quickly." It's a bit of a hurry to leave tomorrow, can't you delay it for two days? Let's get ready, aren't we? Jia Lian stood up with Daiyu's strength, just saw Daiyu hide her tears, and her heart was even more sad, but she also knew that Gonggong Li had already said that it could not be changed, if it could be delayed for a few days, my uncle would not fight for himself, so he only shook his head and said: "Uncle works hard every day, and my aunt has never been in good health, so my sister has bothered a lot." After saying that, he turned his head to the side, not letting Daiyu see his tears. After getting along for a year or two, Daiyu was also reluctant to give up, but she also knew that the opportunity was rare, where did she dare to say anything else?

It took a while for a few people to slow down, and Jia Min hurriedly went to clean up a table of good dishes, all of which Jia Lian loved to eat in the past, and Daiyu didn't stop serving Jia Lian vegetables tonight, but she was not as funny as before. Lin Ruhai said that the yamen did not come in to eat with them because of something, and went to the yamen. Not to mention Daiyu, even Jia Min and Jia Lian also knew that Lin Ruhai was also uncomfortable, so they were not reluctant.

Jia Min kept telling him to pay attention to this, to be careful of that, he ate a meal for more than half an hour, and when he saw that it was not early, he let Jia Lian rest early. This is why Jia Lian left, but Jia Min and Daiyu were busy over there. There are several large boxes of food and clothing, including gifts for everyone in Beijing, as well as gifts for Jia Lian's bosses and subordinates, and even more boxes of things that Jia Lian is used to use in his daily life, so I am afraid that he will not be able to use them in Beijing.
