The Yamen of the Town Government Division is very large, it is a Yamen founded by the emperor's decree and directly controlled by the cabinet, but the scene in front of it is really difficult to connect it with the high-ranking and powerful Yamen of the Town Government Division.

"Are you sure you're in the wrong place?" Lin Yuan looked at Yu Shi on the side.

"Back to the young master, I have asked very clearly, this is the Yamen of the Town Government." Yu Shi said helplessly.

"Go up and call the door, and say I'm coming." Lin Yuan said.

Yu Shi stepped forward, just put his hand on the door, there was movement at the door, the door opened, the person inside poked his head out to take a look, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Liu Qingshui, Lord Liu." Yu Shi said.

"Wait a minute." The man closed the door again. Lin Yuan and Yu Shi didn't wait long, and after a while, Lin Yuan waited for Liu Qingshui.

When I was in Jiangnan, I didn't change much, but my face was a little haggard. Lin Yuan looked at Liu Qingshui and said, "This official doesn't seem to be very happy. ”

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, he acts tremblingly, and naturally he is not as chic as Jiangnan." Liu Qingshui smiled bitterly, made a gesture of invitation, and let Lin Yuan into the yamen.

Lin Yuan was not polite, and walked in front of Liu Qingshui. On the way, they met several Liu Qingshui's colleagues, and everyone was curious about who Lin Yuan was, and Liu Qingshui was so respectful in front of him.

Lin Yuan walked to the middle hall and sat down, looked at the lobby of the town government department, and said with a smile: "It looks quite broken on the outside, but I didn't think it was the same inside." ”

"Let my grandfather smile, every inch of land in the capital is expensive, and it is not easy for the court to give such a place." Liu Qingshui said.

"Don't talk about that, I'm here today to discuss something." Lin Yuan looked at Liu Qing Shuidao.

"Please also ask Grandpa to make it clear."

"Do you know the big exam in the spring after the year?" Lin Yuan asked.

Liu Qingshui nodded, he naturally knew that Da Zhou took a big exam every three years, not looking at his background, but only his knowledge, passing a fair exam, and choosing excellent people. Because it is the only way for some people to ascend to the sky in one step, it has almost attracted people from all over the world, even the outstanding talents of Beiliang and Nanliang will also come to give it a try.

Seeing that Liu Qingshui was clear, Lin Yuan continued: "I won't beat around the bush, just say it straight, the emperor has appointed me as the deputy examiner of this big exam a few days ago, and the focus this year is in Yuzhou." ”

Hearing what Lin Yuan said, Liu Qingshui frowned, thought about it carefully, and asked, "Xue family?" ”

Lin Yuan nodded, it seems that this Liu Qingshui is not stupid, and he knows the key to Yuzhou. Liu Qingshui said: "Please also ask Grandpa to make it clear, what do you need to do?" ”

"What? Do you do what I command? Lin Yuan looked at Liu Qingshui with a smile.

Liu Qingshui laughed dryly a few times and said: "The emperor has an order before, if the Duke of Yasukuni comes to find something during this time, just listen to your orders." ”

Lin Yuan was stunned when he heard this, what does this mean? He is not an official of the town government department. Seeing that Lin Yuan was a little puzzled, Liu Qingshui explained: "The palace has said that the town government secretary yamen is inexperienced at the moment, so he still has to learn from the side of the Jingguo Gong." ”

Lin Yuan pulled down a black line, and he was not a spy leader, so there was nothing to learn. But there is some power in his hands, and he is a fool not to use it at the moment.

Lin Yuan thought for a while and asked, "Do you have any manpower in Yuzhou?" ”

Liu Qingshui nodded and said, "Yes, they are all old people from a few years ago, and they are generally one-line contacts, and grandpa is useful?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "At present, there are some things that they need to do, this time to help me collect the activities of the Xue family in Yuzhou in the past three years, don't startle the snake, there are other things to do after I go to Yuzhou." ”

Liu Qingshui nodded, this matter is not difficult for them. Liu Qingshui said: "But is there anything else?" ”

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "What do you usually use?" ”

Liu Qingshui knew that the Duke of Yasukuni was afraid that he was worried about poor communication, so he thought about it and said: "In this way, I will send someone to follow you to do things, and you can do anything through him." ”

His eyes narrowed, Lin Yuan glanced at Liu Qingshui, wondering if he was planning to plant someone around him, but then he thought that Liu Qingshui should not die like this, so he said, "Yes, you can find someone to follow me." ”

"What do you think of Fu Qiuxue in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?" Liu Qingshui asked cautiously.

"He's back?" Lin Yuan has a good impression of this Fu Qiuxue, he has contributed a lot when he does things in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and his skills are also good.

"I just finished running errands in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and I returned to Beijing a few days ago, and my grandfather has some benefits to use him." Liu Qingshui said.

"What do you mean by that?" Lin Yuan asked curiously.

"Fu Qiuxue knows a lot about the Xue family, and I don't know the specific reasons, but he has been checking the Xue family all these years." Liu Qingshui explained.

The first time Lin Yuan saw Fu Qiuxue, he felt that this was a person with a story, it seemed that this story was also related to the Xue family, and Lin Yuan was even more interested in Fu Qiuxue.

"That's it, let him go to my house to find me during this time." Lin Yuan commanded.

"Yes, Grandpa."

"Let's go, there's still something to do." Lin Yuan got up and was about to leave, looking at the surrounding environment, Lin Yuan thought about it and said, "You go to the household department to run, no matter how you say it, it is also the face of the court." ”

"Grandpa taught me a lesson." Liu Qingshui said, but how dare he go to the household department to ask for money, this is the capital, and the one who dares to be blind to offend.

"Stay, go ahead of your business." Stopping Liu Qingshui, who was about to be sent out of the door, Lin Yuan turned over and got on the horse, thought about it and walked towards Xishi. I haven't been to Luoxian Tower for a while.

It's the end of the year, and Luoxianlou's business has gradually faded, but Li Xiandao feels that this is the happiest period for him in recent years. Since the beginning of autumn, it has been funded by the Yasukuni Mansion, and Luoxian Tower has long been reborn, and the past few months have passed like a dream.

"Shopkeeper, the young master is here." Shopkeeper said.

Li Xiandao hurriedly put down the pen, trotted to the door, and turned around halfway through and ordered: "Go and let Zhao Niangzi fire, just say that the young master is here." ”

At this time, Lin Yuan walked into the store, saw that there were fewer customers, and when he thought of this time, he didn't say anything, glanced at Li Xiandao, and said with a smile: "It seems that the business is good, there are not many people here, and the smile on Uncle Li's face has not diminished." ”

"It's all the credit of my grandfather." Li Xiandao said with a smile.

"It's better to say less, I don't have that much energy." Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head.

The two walked upstairs together, and seeing that there was no one on the second floor, Lin Yuan said, "It's right here, it's not so particular." ”

Li Xiandao nodded and motioned for Xiao Er to clean up the table. Lin Yuan was sitting at the window, and it was snowing heavily outside at this moment. Looking at the scenery outside the window, Lin Yuan said with a smile: "I remember that the first time I came to Luoxian Tower, I also sat here." ”

Li Xiandao thought about it for a moment and said, "Indeed, the grandfather was sitting here with Yu Guards at that time. ”

"At that time, I would have thought of what would happen to you and me, but it was also fate, we were both worried about the same thing at the time." Lin Yuan said.

Li Xiandao was a little puzzled, he didn't know what was going on with Yasukuni Gong at that time, seeing Li Xiandao's expression, Lin Yuan asked with a smile: "What?" Not convinced? ”

Li Xiandao shook his head, and Lin Yuan said: "You were worried about the future of Luoxian Tower, and I was worried about the livelihood of hundreds of people, and I couldn't do without the word 'money'. ”

Li Xiandao thought about it, it seems that the family of the prince is not as calling for wind and rain as it is in the eyes of outsiders, and sometimes there are many difficulties. It's just that outsiders don't know.

"Why didn't you see Miss Qingqi today?" Lin Yuan looked at it and asked.

Li Xiandao paused and said, "Qing Qian has been researching new dishes these days, and I'm afraid I'm going out to find ingredients at this time." ”

"What ingredients do you have to go out to find in this winter?" Lin Yuan said curiously.

"It's not that I went out, I just went to a few familiar shops to have a look, and the West Sichuan Chamber of Commerce sent a message a few days ago, saying that there were a few new things to see if the coriander was interested." Li Xiandao said.

Lin Yuan nodded, he had heard Uncle Lin say this, but he was really not interested, so he didn't go to see it, but I heard that Zhang Yao had already sent someone to the door.

The dish was made by Zhao Ting, Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction after eating a few bites, looked at Li Xiandao and asked, "Zhao Ting has been cooking for the past few days?" ”

Li Xiandao nodded in a daze, and said, "Zhao Ting has been staring at it all this time, and now she is also the chef of the honorary Jingshi." ”

"Raise the money again, don't be stingy." Lin Yuan commanded, thought about it and asked, "Is her kid going to participate in the scientific examination this year?" ”

"Yes." Li Xiandao nodded.

"You called Zhao Ting." Lin Yuan said.

After a while, Zhao Ting went up to the second floor and stood there quietly towards Lin Yuan, wondering if the dishes didn't taste good.

Lin Yuan glanced at Zhao Ting, and saw that her complexion was good, it seemed that she had done a good job, and it was quite smooth, so he asked, "Sister Zhao, are you still used to it in Luoxian Tower?" ”

Zhao Ting nodded and said, "Good job, I like it." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Just do a good job, in my opinion, cooking is a happy process, if you don't really like it, just to simply support your family, you can't become a master." ”

Li Xiandao and Zhao Ting thought for a while, and felt that what Lin Yuan said made some sense. Lin Yuan then asked, "I heard that your child is going to participate in the scientific examination this year?" ”

Zhao Ting nodded and said, "It's rare for my grandfather to worry, the dog is indeed going to participate in the scientific examination this year." ”

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said: "If Sister Zhao can trust me, let him give up this scientific expedition, I am inconvenient to disclose the specific reasons, if he is unwilling, I will not force it, you can give it a try." ”

Zhao Ting frowned, the scientific examination is a big deal, and the rumors of Yasukuni Gong are not reckless, this time he even braved the world to remind himself that there is something big about it, but his own child has been preparing for two years, how can he speak?

Seeing that Zhao Ting was a little hesitant, Lin Yuan said: "You can go home and tell him what I said, let him make his own choice, if you are not willing to give up, you can also give it a try." ”

"Thank you grandpa for reminding me, this mistress has written it down." Zhao Ting saluted like Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan waved his hand and said: "Okay, you go down and rest early, I won't use it for a few days, it's already the end of the year, and tomorrow the Qiluo Immortal Tower will also be closed, have a good year, and come to work full of energy after the New Year." Go to the counter and withdraw some silver, and it will be used as the annual fee. ”

"Thank you, Grandpa." Zhao Ting bowed and retreated to the second floor.

Seeing Zhao Ting retreat, Li Xiandao didn't say anything, he knew that Lin Yuan usually wouldn't say so much, thinking that something big would indeed happen in this scientific expedition.

After eating for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Lin Yuan got up and left Luoxian Tower, he didn't see Li Qingqian today, and his heart was a little empty. Riding a horse and rushing back to the mansion a little drunk, as soon as he entered the house, he fell asleep on the bed, this was the first time Lin Yuan drank alone and drunk himself.
