After returning home, Rong Yi and Yang Lan also made a carriage for a day, and each went back to rest, while Rong Yan went to the yamen, and there were still a lot of things to do.

Because Rong Yi lived here after he came back, two of the guards he brought were Rong Yan's personal guards to accompany him, and the rest were used as guards in the house to protect her safety, and the female guards were assigned to the fourth daughter-in-law to protect her, after all, she often had to go out to deal with the official's wife and the salt merchant's wife, and she still needed to have a capable person to protect her.

Just such a little bit of thought is very grateful, they were already worried about the lack of manpower, and now that my brother and sister-in-law are here in the house, ordinary people don't dare to try it anymore.

Once when they didn't come, there were people who tried to poison, if it weren't for the fourth daughter-in-law's strict precautions, but also experienced people, it was really their way, since then every once in a while people will change a batch, regularly will be stuffed to check the next person, the prevention is very strict, close or study such places are often strictly checked.

Even Rong Yan's official document was carefully hidden, and the cunning rabbit was three-hole, which shows that the situation here in Jiangnan is not calm.

There are many of these things that even the fourth daughter-in-law doesn't know, and she can't say a thing or two, not to prevent her, but sometimes it's not a good thing to know too much.

After Rong Yi came, Rong Yan could talk about it with many people when he had something, and he suddenly had a lot of music in his heart, and the things that were not going well before gradually became smoother and smoother.

The matter of managing the salt administration itself is a lot of oil and water, even if you are not very greedy, you have a lot of money, Rong Yan also got a lot, and after leaving a part of it, the rest was given to Rong Yi to buy materials and other purposes.

He already knew about the island. He thought so. In any case, it is necessary to leave a way back. Even if you leave a way for your children and grandchildren in the future, since you want to get this cheap way, you have to pay for it, this is the basic truth.

These are not Yang Lan's worries, she didn't stay for a few days after she came back from Zhuangzi, so she followed Rong Yi to Jinling by boat, planning to go there to have fun, and looked forward to it for several days.

On the way, they did it and enjoyed a lot of good scenery on the boat. Occasionally, I would stop to take a look at the scenery along the coast, or go in and pay my respects at a temple.

When I arrived in Jinling, I found that it was not worse than Yangzhou at all, the streets were lined with small vendors selling along the street, all kinds of snacks, and there were shops on both sides, which was very lively.

They found the largest restaurant in the local area to live, and after the two rested for the night, Rong Yi said with great interest: "Take you to this painting boat to play, don't you want to go and see." By the way, we also called a singer to come and listen to the tune. ”

"Well, I haven't been to the boat yet. Let's go and see, can we rent a boat ourselves? Yang Lan was dressed and was already waiting.

"Well, let's go around the shops and ask the next person to contact you to rent one. Don't you want to sell fabric jewelry, so let's stop by and have a look. Rong Yi smiled and spoke.

"Okay. I heard that there are many colors of Jiangnan fabrics, so I bought a few more pieces of cloth by the way. Yang Lan nodded and said.

By the way, the two had a breakfast in the lobby downstairs, with soup dumplings and a few side dishes, and a little white porridge was enough. Not to mention that this restaurant can be so big, it makes sense, and the taste of the food is indeed one of the best.

"Well, the fourth brother of this shop introduced it is not bad, the taste is really good, why come back at night to eat some special dishes at his house, you haven't eaten authentic Jiangnan dim sum, this dim sum is also very distinctive, some are made of glutinous rice ground into flour, there is a food stall in front, you will be hungry for a while we will go to eat rice noodles, this is a store Lao Si said that it is very authentic." Rong Yi looked left and right, obviously looking for which store it was.

"Okay, I've heard for a long time that Jiangnan dim sum is very distinctive, and I didn't eat it authentic before." Yang Lan asked.

"Well, the southern cuisine is sweet, and the northern food is more sour and spicy, which has a certain relationship with the cold and warm environment." Rong Yi nodded as he walked.

"Does that shop sell jewelry?" Yang Lan's sharp eyes looked at the jewelry shop first.

"Then let's go in and have a look." Rong Yi took Yang Lan's hand and walked towards the store.

Yang Lan came here not only to buy jewelry, but also to see the delicate appearance of others, and to add some new tricks to her jewelry store when she went back.

They looked at a few of them and thought it was very good, the jewelry here is cloisonné, mostly hollowed, delicate and good-looking, and it is not very heavy on the head.

This made Yang Lan very interested, and decided to buy some tricks to go back, which can be used in their own jewelry stores, some officials and wives do not pay attention to the weight of gold, like the princess county lord, they like to bring new tricks, and they don't like the heavy and heavy old crafts, with inconvenience, drag the scalp pain.

After grinding with the steward for a long time, Yang Lan bought two albums from others, and they are not the latest, but it doesn't matter that she can go to other places to buy them, buy more, and the latest ones will come out sooner or later.

After that, I went to the fabric store, and sure enough, I saw a lot of new patterns and colors, and types of fabrics, among which there are a lot of soft and thin fabrics that look very rare, not worse than the palace reward, Yang Lan likes it very much, and buys a lot in one go, and can take back to her daughter and daughter-in-law to wear.

They went around Jinling for a few days, and then went to the surrounding towns to wander around, and stayed for a few days to draw a lot of picture albums, and also went to visit Buddhist temples of different sizes, and had a lot of fun.

It took almost a month to go back late for Stop-and-Go, and when she rushed back, it was almost the end of the year, and Yang Lan suddenly felt that time was really fast.

After Rong Yi came back, he discussed, "I see that your travel diary is very interesting, why don't I copy a copy and send it to the library, what do you think?" Some students are poor and don't have a way to study, so it's good to let them see it like this, and it's a woman, and many girls can also watch it, I think it's also good. ”

Yang Lan thought for a while and said, "Okay, but you can only take it out by changing your name and copying it again, I don't want to be famous." ”

She doesn't want everyone in the world to know that this thing was written by herself, and now that her life is very good, she doesn't need to add any more icing on the cake. In case of being famous and bringing bad results, wouldn't it be that the sons will be laughed at for having a restless mother, and the face will be lost, and the people of this era are still very conservative.

Rong Yi also smiled, "Okay, even if you don't say it, I won't take out what you wrote casually for people to see." He smiled.

"By the way, when we came back, I saw the new building in front of the academy, is that the study building? It's beautifully built. Yang Lan asked curiously.

"Well, the dean found a rich businessman to donate money, and his son was very happy to pass the examination, and he rolled some money for the academy to build a library. The bookshelves inside are made of ebony donated by our family, and you haven't been in to see it yet, so I'll take you to see it another day. Rong Yi was very interested when he mentioned this.

The library was built, and almost everyone in Jiangnan knew that the Rong family and Yang Lan donated their private collections, and built a library to serve the students of Guangzhou, even if they were not students from this college, they could also come here to borrow books, so many people praised them, and this reputation was really good.

Through this, someone dug up a lot of things, such as the two sons and nephews of the Jing'an county lord have studied here, which is also a reward, and so on.

There is also Jing'an who has built a school to help chase a lot of hard-working people, Lord Rong used to be a member of the party, etc., and his two sons are on the list, and one son is also a little general.

For a while, the streets and alleys were talking about the two of them, and even Rong Yan and his wife were praised like flowers, and they had the support of many Qingliu students, which was unexpected.

The two emperors also issued a decree in Kyoto to reward Rong Yi and his wife, and also gave a lot of things to the Hou Mansion, but Yang Lan didn't care much about this.

Yang Lan went to the library to visit, I think it is very good, according to her idea of classifying the bound books, but also follow some modern methods of managing the library, I did not expect that once the library was opened, there are a lot of students here, not only poor children, but also many children of Qingliu people copy books here.

You can take away the book with your own paper and pen, and you can leave it for the copper plate to copy the book with the paper and pen of the book building, and you only need to pay the pen fee to take it away, which is the cost of paper and pen, which is really a good thing for many students, and the book building also hires students to sort out the books, and the books that are lent and returned are registered and sorted.

There is also a pen, ink, paper, inkstone here is also a copy of high, medium and low are sold, this piece also needs someone to help sell, the daily working hours are according to the opening time of the library, and the library will get off work after closing.

Therefore, the library has been appreciated by many people for its openness, and sometimes you can see one or two officials and lords coming here to read books in casual clothes.

There is also tea to sell here, and it can also add a place for students to work, so there are many people who come here to apply, but the dean chooses those who are relatively poor, but they are loyal and resolute and honest, and everyone is more convinced.

Seeing that the dean made this place so good, Yang Lan also felt so happy, "We can also come here to study in the future, I see that there are some books donated by others here, many of which I have never read." She pulled Rong Yi's sleeve and said happily.

"Okay, if you like me to come with you." Rong Yi looked at her and smiled dotingly.

"Cut, don't say you want to read the book yourself." Yang Lan said with a smile in her eyes.

"Well, I also found several good books, and I can also come and copy books, I haven't copied books for a long time, and I've almost forgotten what it's like." Rong Yi raised his head and laughed.

"Okay, I'll copy it with you, and I'm just practicing calligraphy." Yang Lan said with a smile. (To be continued......)
