The slender men disembarked and pulled the ropes, and the sailors in the guardrail shouted: "Drop anchor!" Break down! ”

Jia Cong and Jia Lian stepped out of the deck, and the little girls protected Daiyu behind, and without waiting for the rough servants to carry it, the porters rushed in: "Official, please help us locally, which is the Yangzhou Mansion?" What about being a house? That fang? Say it, and you'll be there! ”

"Please help us!"

"We're toothy!"

Jia Cong frowned slightly, Jia Lian smiled loudly, turned back to Jia Cong and said, "Look, the local snake is arrogant, invite them, and ask for a price increase." If you don't invite them, the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, these gangs have someone behind them. In this way, my brother is not worried that you will go to Suzhou alone, and Yangzhou will settle down first. ”

"The second brother still asks the Cao Gang, Yangzhou Salt Farm is an important place, how can they not be familiar with the old man who patrols the salt and the imperial history." Jia Cong came up with an idea.

Speaking of the Cao Gang, Daming has no climate, the Cao Gang of "My Daqing" is too big to fall, and Zhao Yazhi, the Cao Gang in the pigtail play, pounced on Qianlong like a nymphomaniac: "The fourth master ......"

Jia Lian promised the Cao Gang to pick up the cargo box, and the bleak exit of the line and the tooth shop, if it was an ordinary civilian ship or merchant ship, they would definitely buy and sell, but in front of him, this is the signboard of "Jiangnan City Bo Division", forced to buy and sell, isn't it death?

The distant mountains hover like snails, the water near the water is green like washing, the water and the sky are the same color, Jia Cong and Daiyu followed up the steps of the port, the river rises and shrinks, the steps are set to be long, at this time it is diffused to only more than 20 steps, the place where the steps are in contact with the river, the turquoise moss is sparse and swaying with the water.

Steward Lin on the port greeted him down, and the old man burst into tears: "Miss is back, get on the sedan chair quickly, these two masters...... Presumably the second master Lian mentioned in the master's letter? Master Cong? Please, get on the horse......"

"You're welcome, this is my little brother." Jia Lian smiled gently, and Steward Lin gave an "oh" and glanced at Jia Cong more.

Lin Daiyu responded and said, "Second Brother Lian and Brother Cong are staying at home. ”

Steward Lin said: "It should be so, running around for months, let's rest first." ”

Jia Cong groaned, but did not refuse, looked at Daiyu, Xue Yan was taking a small wooden stool and putting it in front of the sedan chair door, Daiyu helped Zijuan to hold the sedan chair, cyan beads, Lin Daiyu looked back and smiled, and shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks.

The two brothers rode into the city on horseback, and when they arrived at the gate of Yangzhou City, the vendors gathered, the merchants walked the streets, and the merchants and horses were endless.

"Jiangdu Fang Crisp, Gaoyou Duck Eggs, Fresh Fish Noodles!"

"Yizheng five-color cake! Hibiscus cake! Gardenias! Ten cents a piece! Fifteen pieces and two pieces! ”

The thick Jianghuai accent fills the market, after the search, enter the city gate, the restaurant can see the Huizhou giant businessmen shuttling in the meantime, the warbler sings and dances, the heroic is compelling, the square scarf, the net scarf, the melon skin hat, the corrugated hat, the temple fair, juggling, ventriloquism, the stage, the storytelling, you can see it everywhere, the luxury, the atmosphere, the ancient, the vicissitudes of life, the contradiction is full of this Yangzhou city with a population of up to two million.

Jia Cong said secretly: "Riding the crane tower is unforgettable for ten days, and the plum blossom ridge looks up to the ...... for thousands of years."

Long Aotian and Sun Fu came back from buying fish chest, Jia Cong rode a horse and looked at the food box, and felt that it was fresh, crispy, beautiful, full of color and flavor, and asked, "Raw and cooked?" ”

"It's raw fish tart, a lot of ingredients, keep it and eat it." Sun Fu hurriedly followed, and Jia Cong ate it regardless of his image, eating this on a hot day, it's cool!

……

The Lin family house is repaired in the north of the city, sits in the north and faces south, in front of the double ring beast gate, there are two lion beast heads under the marble steps, there is a stream of living water rushing out of the drainage channel on the left hand, the right side is the central avenue, directly to the government office, the salt transport envoy Yamen, the back is against the mountains and hills, the heavy eaves building, look outside into the wall, the garden is not small, the rich people in the south of the Yangtze River build the garden into the wind, there are no less than thousands of gardens in Jinling, Yangzhou Slender West Lake is built by salt merchants.

What caused Jia Cong's surprise was that opposite the Lin Mansion was a dung factory.

According to the Ming Dynasty's "Building the Gate" record: there is water in the left hand, there is a road in the right hand, there is a mountain behind the back, and there is dung in front. It seems that Lin Ruhai's Xingyuan family house was built according to feng shui.

Steward Lin welcomed into the courtyard, turned the rosewood shelf and marble base wall facing the door, tended to enter the second and third halls, and entered the garden with hanging flowers.

That night, Jia Cong fell asleep, dreamed of a foreign land, met Zhou Gong, and lived in a different place was his habit in his previous life, like a bird flying out of a cage, but he didn't miss home at all.

……

The next day, Zijuan and Snow Goose sent food, and after eating, it was like carefully selected Jiangnan vegetables and vegetables, Zijuan stepped back and stood, and when he sorted out his clothes, she said: "My aunt has seen the second master, and I have been busy inviting Langzhong these days, and my complexion is better, so I will go with me to worship." ”

"Okay." Jia Cong agreed, but he knew that on the third day of September this year, Lin Ruhai would die, and he couldn't do anything about it, first, Lin Ruhai was a complete stranger to him, and second, he had never studied medicine, and when he heard that a stranger died, what ups and downs could he have?

Zijuan called Snow Goose to lead the way, and Snow Goose pouted and said, "Sister Zijuan, I can't remember exactly." ”

Zijuan snorted: "Thanks to you for serving the girl closely, I went south with an old lady, and I remember it once I walked around." ”

"I was very small when I sold into the Lin Mansion at that time, so I didn't have much of an impression." Snow Goose explained, Zijuan shook his head helplessly, led in front, wore a long verandah, the wind sent the fragrance of osmanthus, the water drifted the branches of the residual lotus, faintly a little autumn cool, out of the garden hanging flower gate, across the courtyard hanging flower door, only to the West Road outside the study.

I heard a voice outside the door: "Is that Jia Cong in the show?" His "Confucianism History" has been marketed to Jiangnan, he has seen it for his father, and he wants to explore flowers for his father in his thirties, Xiucai has been tested for 20 years, and he has a Xiucai body at the age of ten...... Ahem......"

"Hmm...... Father, stop talking. ”

"Master, girl, Master Cong is here." Zijuan reported outside the door, and Lin Daiyu retreated inside the door.

Xue Yan lifted the curtain felt, Jia Cong entered, and at a glance saw a middle-aged man in a long robe sitting on the Taishi chair, with a majestic figure, a pale face, a sleek pear wood case with a few salt leads, and a clear and elegant appearance, it is not difficult to see that this person was a handsome man when he was young, and he visited the worship with the etiquette of a junior.

Lin Ruhai saw that he was wearing a square scarf, stepping on autumn and winter cotton thick-soled boots, slightly thinner, with a healthy and ruddy complexion, wearing a dark robe with a dark belt, his hands were weak, and the momentum of the superior who had been in the official for many years seemed to have a force: "Sit, the eldest brother is not small, it is difficult for you to be famous at a young age." ”

"It's all a false name, and the younger generations don't dare to take it." The two of them went through these etiquette clichés first, and Lin Ruhai said slowly: "Liu Dongsheng and I belong to Taiyuan (the nickname of the science and technology department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate), and in the past few years, I have heard a little about your deeds, and since you are a relative, I will not talk about it." You must have heard of the Gyeonggi Changlu Salt Farm, Yangzhou Lianghuai Salt Farm, Huizhou giant merchant wealth, accounting for half of the national treasury, I don't know what you think? ”

Is it a test or what? Lord Lin, you don't have to be like this, Jia Cong blinked, pondering how to answer.

[Note: The whole city has been without power for a day, how can it not come tomorrow, it may be cut off.] 】
