Chapter 4 The road back to Beijing is like the sea

Cuiliu got up early the next morning and made breakfast. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info They have lived in Yangzhou for the past two years, and they are also like a civilian home, two meals a day, unlike having lunch in Jiafu, so the amount of breakfast is also quite sufficient.

The things that should be brought back to Beijing were packed last night, and there were no important things, but a few clothes and personal belongings for two people, and the rest were not brought.

As soon as Jia Qing was called to get up for breakfast, before half of it, Lai Sheng sent someone to pull two carriages over.

One car sits people, one car sits things.

Originally, there were only two small packages, but when Cuiliu saw it, she said that she didn't need to put them alone, and brought them to the first carriage together. Lai Sheng shouted an order, and the carriage started. Behind the carriage, Lai Sheng rode a horse to follow, and the rest of the seven or eight people guarded to follow.

"Aunt Liu, what kind of city is this, so lively." On the carriage, Jia Qing lifted the curtain and asked excitedly.

Cuiliu glanced at him, dissatisfied that he had forgotten yesterday's agreement so quickly.

"This is Yangzhou City"

Hey? Yangzhou City? Isn't this where Lin Daiyu's family lived before she went to Jiafu, and it was quite fateful. I just don't know if Sister Lin is in Yangzhou now, and I am not sure if there is her in this world now, Jia Qing's only information now is Jia Jing's age, but he really doesn't have any image of Jia Jing, and he can't push one, two, three, four, five, everything can only wait until Jiafu to pay attention. Thinking like this, he soon arrived at Yangzhou Dongcheng Wharf.

At this time, the wharf was crowded, some people dressed as domestic slaves were busy, and there were officials on the side to drive away the approaching passers-by. Not far from the dock, two groups of people were standing, apparently greeting some important person. One wave is an official with an official status and an entourage. The other wave is dressed as civilians, but from the few silk satins in the lead, the luxuriously dressed masters, and the fierce entourage behind them, it can be guessed that these are merchants!

Some people who stayed on the Fu boat had already discovered Jia Qing and the others, and ran over to explain the situation:

Today is the day when the new Lianghuai Inspector Salt Imperial Shilin takes office, and on both sides are Yangzhou salt merchants and official representatives of various yamen in the city to greet him.

Isn't the Lianghuai Salt Patrol Imperial History the Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History, it's really a coincidence, just thinking about Sister Lin, she met his father Lin Ruhai.

Since the Ming Dynasty, there are generally four people who patrol the salt history, two Huai, two Zhejiang, Changlu, and one person in Hedong, among which the two Huai patrol salt imperial history words are the heaviest. Salt tax is one of the most important taxes of the dynasty, the world's wealthy salt merchants have to rely on the snort of the salt patrol imperial history to live, Yangzhou patrol salt imperial history is a position of power, money and money.

However, with his identity as Tanhualang and Imperial Doctor, it is more than enough to sit in this position.

Lai Sheng Yuma approached the carriage and asked, "Young Master, Lord Lin and the mansion are world friends, and the eldest lady of the upper generation in the west mansion is still Lord Lin's wife, do we need to come forward to pay respects?" ”

Jia Qing thought about it, it would be best to get acquainted with Lin Hai first, even if he didn't meet him, it would be good to leave his name there. Then he said: "What does Mr. Lai think we should do? ”

"It stands to reason that since you don't come forward to visit if you meet it, it will inevitably be rumored that the house is rude. But the young master is still young......"

"Then in my name, go forward and ask to see Uncle Lin"

Lai Sheng felt more and more that the little young master was not ordinary, and ordinary children could hide when they saw this kind of scene. Although they have only known each other for two days, with the experience of most of his life, the little young master must be able to do great things. Lai Sheng has to thank his vision, a few years later, not only does he hold the power in his hands, the scenery is infinite, but also prevents the entire Lai family from being uprooted by this master, of course, this is a later story, not for the time being.

Lai Sheng went to negotiate as he said.

After a while, Lai Sheng came back and said, "Aunt Lin is invited." ”

Agreed to see me? Jia Qing was very happy, feeling that he was really not a mortal, and Lin Daiyu and his father also looked up to him. I don't want to, Lord Lin Hailin has never heard of him before, so how can I afford him? It's just that the next person reported that the young son of the old man Jing of Ningguo Mansion in Beijing came to meet him, and he came to see him, and he was curious for a while, and he wanted to see him when he was about to get off the ship.

Sitting in the tea pavilion of the official ship, but only half a cup of tea, I saw a half-grown child, followed by an old servant, led by his entourage into the inner hall.

"Nephew Jia Qing, I've seen Uncle Lin."

"The nephew doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat."

It turned out to be a three- or four-year-old child! Lin Hai was amazed, he had been an official in Beijing for many years, and he never knew that Jia Jing had such an older son.

"In front of my uncle, where there is a place where my nephew sits, my nephew can stand." Jia Qing replied very respectfully, raised his head, and saw that the person in front of him was only in his thirties, thin and thin, dressed in an official robe with carved jade inlays, sitting like a gentleman, although his eyes were soft, he did not lose his majesty.

What a look! is worthy of Lin Daiyu's father.

Lin Hai nodded, thinking that the old servant beside him had taught him to say this, so he asked, "Why are you here?"

Because his nephew was young and sick, his father ordered his loyal servants to take his nephew to the land of Jiangnan for medical treatment, and by the way, to see the beautiful scenery of the Jiangnan region, which may be of some benefit to the body and mind.

Now his body has really improved, and he is preparing to go north to return to Beijing. I was fortunate enough to meet my uncle here, so I came to meet him and express my admiration. ”

Lin Hai looked sideways when he said something, even if he was pointed out by others, he said it clearly and clearly, without any sense of coquettishness, which is rare at this age. I had a little more love for the younger generation in my heart, because I asked, "Have you ever been literate?" ”

"Back to my uncle's words, because of my father's pity, I didn't study." Jia Qingdao.

Lin Hai raised his forehead and nodded: "I didn't have a good health before, and I don't have to worry about it, but now that I'm better, I can't just be greedy for fun when I go back, so that I waste my time."

Go back and tell your master, so that the son has the posture of a phoenix, so that he can go to school as soon as possible, or he can become a jade. I hope that the lord of your mansion respects me, and I am troubled. The latter sentence was said to Lai Sheng, who was not in Jia Qing's mind behind him

After coming back to his senses, Lai Sheng hurriedly bowed and replied: "Don't dare, Aunt Lin loves and protects my young master, and my master is only grateful, how can he blame." When the slave goes back, he will definitely bring my uncle's words to my master. ”

Nodding with satisfaction, Lin Hai chatted with Jia Qing for a few more words, and finally advised: "When you go to the Jiangnan boundary in the future, remember to be a guest at the house." Although I am not talented, I may be able to guide you in your studies. I will meet with guests later, and I will not leave a virtuous nephew today, and I hope that my nephew will cherish it. ”

Jia Qing replied respectfully: "Yes!" The nephew said goodbye" led Lai Sheng from the back to exit the tea pavilion and walked out of the cabin.

Until Jia Qing got on his own fortune boat, Lai Sheng was still shocked, and Lin Hai could still accept it because he thought it was someone else's guidance, but Lai Sheng knew that Jia Qing was the master from beginning to end. At first, he was afraid that the young master would say something that he shouldn't say, which would cause twists and turns in this trip, but now it seems that although it was only a short time and he didn't say a few words, there was no mistake at all, which was really incredible!

"Mr. Lai, you can get ready to sail."

"Yes"

Lai Sheng has already made up his mind that in the future, all errands involving this master must be handled with heart, and he must not be treated as an ordinary child.

After Jia Qing got on the boat, he was also very excited and got Lin Hai's favor, it was Sister Lin's father! Originally, he also thought about hiding clumsily and acting normally, but what kind of person is Lin Hai, and how can he pay attention to him if he doesn't behave differently? Without attracting his attention, how to get close to Sister Lin in the future...... Ahem, it's too early to say that.

In short, after weighing it, I still feel that I can't perform mediocrity, but now it seems that the effect is not bad.

Humming a minor tune that he couldn't understand, he was led up to the second floor by someone.

He, you're going to the capital......
