The southeast shape wins, the three Wu metropolises, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. The smoke willow paints the bridge, the wind curtain is green, and there are 100,000 people. The clouds and trees surround the embankment sand, the angry waves roll frost and snow, and the moat is endless. The city is a jewel, the household is profitable, and the competition is luxurious.

Knock knock knock......

In a house in Hangzhou City, a soft piano sound came out, adding a bit of charm to this thousand-year-old city.

A beautiful woman with a beautiful headdress sat in front of the piano, her undergarment was as white as snow, and on the outside was a brown gown, which was a silk fabric, embroidered with a beautiful peony flower pattern, and a pair of jade hands as white as mutton fat poked out of the wide sleeves, and it was gently plucking the strings.

A beautiful face, groomed eyebrows show a kind of arrogance, and the eyes like autumn lakes are full of vicissitudes. As if blessed by God, the years have not carved traces on her beautiful face, and it is still delicate skin like snow skin, which can be described as the flower and moon appearance of the country and the city.

The brown gown on her body looks a little old-fashioned, and it seems to cover the last trace of girlishness, but this brown gown can't cover the looming figure, and it can't hide her elegant temperament, which makes people feel fascinated.

At this moment, any normal man will probably be deeply attracted when he sees her, and he will also have a feeling of "peony flowers are dead, and ghosts are also romantic".

The sound of the piano is soft, but it reveals a bit of grievance, as if it is telling what kind of heartfelt words.

Hangzhou in April is the season when a hundred flowers compete for beauty.

A woman in a long purple dress walked lightly to the attic, and saw that the beautiful woman was being impeached here, but she did not dare to make any movement, and stood quietly waiting.

The two green-clothed girls seemed to have a tacit understanding, and when a song sounded again, they poured out the original chrysanthemum tea and tiptoed to make the tea again, without even making a sound when pouring water.

As if attracted by the sound of the piano, a colorful butterfly flapped its wings from the flowers in the courtyard, but when it saw the four people in the attic, it stopped at the door and window.

Boom!

After a while, the last note fell, and the beautiful woman looked up at the sky to the north, and although the sun was shining outside, there was a trace of pity in her eyes.

It's just that this pity quickly disappears, and unlike those sentimental women, she has a unique personality and her clear pursuit of life.

A green-clothed girl picked up a cup of tea, handed it over respectfully, and said, "Miss, please use tea!" ”

The beautiful woman stretched out her jade hands like mutton fat, and gracefully took the delicate patterned teacup, as if she glanced at the woman in purple casually.

The woman in purple knew that her arrival had already been noticed, and immediately saluted: "Chun'er has seen Miss!" ”

"How's the matter of the money bank?" The beautiful woman sniffed the fragrance of chrysanthemum tea with her nose and asked casually.

The woman in purple took out a booklet from her sleeve, handed it over respectfully, and said, "Miss, the account matter has been clarified!" This is all because the shopkeeper Xi was greedy and did something in the accounts, and he has confessed! ”

The green-clothed girl next to her saw that the beautiful woman did not stretch out her hand, nor did she say no, but she stepped forward to take the booklet in understanding.

The beautiful woman gently blew a cup of tea, and said with a sense of feeling: "I thought that the old man was the most credible, but he always couldn't believe it, and he repeatedly betrayed the trust I gave them!" ”

The woman in purple smiled and said, "Miss, in fact, most of the old shopkeepers are still honest and reliable, otherwise our money would not be so stable now." ”

"I know this, but I can't take it lightly, if you don't stare at them seriously, you will have to use your brain crookedly! Whether it's a new shopkeeper or an old shopkeeper, you have to keep an eye on it! The beautiful woman took a sip of tea and said seriously.

"Yes, the maid has written it down!" The woman in purple nodded seriously, and asked seriously: "Miss, now that the matter has been clarified, what should we do with the shopkeeper?" ”

"Merit should be rewarded, and deserved punishment! According to the old rules, do you still need me to teach these things? The beautiful woman handed the teacup to the woman in green beside her, looking ruthless.

The woman in purple immediately swallowed and spit secretly, knowing that the young lady had always been generous to her subordinates, but she could not tolerate the slightest betrayal, and immediately responded with caution: "Yes! ”

A green-clothed girl brought a fruit bowl and placed it gently on the low table next to it.

"I will leave Hangzhou for a while, and the matter of the money village in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will be handed over to you, don't let me down!" The beautiful woman took a bayberry, raised her head and looked at the purple-clothed woman who had been cultivated since childhood, and said seriously.

"The maid's life belongs to the young lady, and she will not disappoint the young lady!" The woman in purple immediately made a statement.

The beautiful woman nodded slightly, but she knew who was loyal and who was traitorous, especially the spring, summer, autumn and winter that she had cultivated since she was a child was not only loyal to her, but also each of them was outstanding.

"Miss, where are you going? If there is any emergency, where should the servant send someone to find you? Chun'er was about to leave, but couldn't help but ask again.

The beautiful woman stood up like a peerless style, the breeze pulled up a strand of her hanging hair, and the beautiful eyes looked out of the window, as if with deep resentment, and two words spit out from the cherry red lips: "Yangzhou!" ”。

A fleet departed from the port of Tientsin and sailed south along the current.

"Lord Qincha, we have arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River!"

A captain of the guard came to Lin Haoran's side and saluted respectfully.

Lin Haoran, who was wearing a bullfighting suit, was standing on the deck, and immediately looked into the distance, and really saw that the right side was no longer land, but it was slowly becoming extremely open, and it was already at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

"Teacher, this sea voyage is really fast, and it is no wonder that many people advocate Cao Yun to abandon the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and take the sea transport instead!" Meng Zhao, who was wearing a lifting uniform, stood behind Lin Haoran, but sighed slightly.

Lin Haoran went south this time, although he did not bring Sun Jixiang, but he chose to bring a few protégés with him.

As the saying goes: it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles. Since he was destined to become their teacher, he also selected a few good seedlings from them and opened their eyes, instead of being an old-fashioned Confucian official.

There are four protégés in the entourage, in addition to the protégé Meng Zhao who was accepted when he presided over the Guangdong Township Examination, and the protégé Wang Shiju was selected from the Shuntianfu Examination.

Wang Shiju and the three of them fell behind Meng Zhao slightly, but they were not afraid of Meng Zhao's identity, but they maintained respect for Meng Zhao, the "senior brother".

After all, in front of them, the teacher of the left deputy capital of the Imperial History, including Meng Zhao, the lifter, the four of them are not worth mentioning.
