Liu Kanzhi's father, Liu Yiru, was originally a Beijing official, but later because of his gap with Zhang Juzheng, he was demoted to Jiangning as the left waiter of the Criminal Department. Although Zhang Juzheng, a pen and a fun pavilion www.biquge.info has a bad relationship with Liu Yiru, as a nephew, it is also reasonable to visit Shibo. Therefore, after the ship left Changsha, it went straight to Jiangning.

The farther north you go, the colder the weather becomes, and the padded jacket made by Sister Hu really doesn't fit, and it becomes a joke when you wear it, but fortunately, Fan Jin prepared winter clothes before departure, so that she won't be frozen. But Liu Kanzhi and Zhang Sixiu still sent a leather jacket over.

No matter what he thinks of Fan Jin, after Zeng Guang and He Xinyin, Zhang Sixiu also admitted that what his sister said was correct, and the achievements of this scholar may not be limited to the scientific field. Such a fierce general is very likely to have a great effect on the layout of the Zhang family in the future, and it must be wooed to show goodwill. Fan Jin gave back a piece of gold silk to each of them, which was a trophy obtained when he was in Luoshan, which was unique to Guangdong, and it also showed its weight.

A group of scholars are in the same boat, daily communication and conversation, and even cocktail parties, tea parties, cultural parties and other projects are all must-have projects. After a long time, those scholars found that no matter what they thought in their hearts, Fan Jin's status was different from theirs. Some of the Zhang family's own people and the gatherings attended by Liu Kanzhi also had Fan Jin participated, who had entered the more core circle of the Zhang family and became their confidants. Even Guan Qing, Fan Zhigao, and others have also improved a lot.

Some problems and difficult ideas have been transformed into practical actions. However, Fan Jin's own talent may not be brilliant, but it is enough to show that it is in line with the identity of Guangdong Yakui. After all, Guangdong is a weak province in culture and education, and even if it is Yakui, it will not have a particularly defying performance. Fan Jin's talent is in writing a book, and the scholars can't ask him to improvise a book novel, so this kind of difficulty is meaningless.

The closer he got to Nanjing, the more excited Fan Jin found that Zhang's emotions became, and he seemed to have a different vision for Nanjing. He even thought about whether there would be a girl's sweetheart in Nanjing, or some kind of famous talent in the world? But then I thought about it, the girl is not this kind of character, and this idea is definitely not reliable. In the end, I relied on a bottle of Tessie Flower Dew and found out the truth from the maid next to Zhang's side.

"Miss and the sixth lady of the Wei family are handkerchiefs, a few years ago Miss came to Jiangning, and Miss Xu met, the two hit it off at first sight, they are very good friends. This time I met my old friend again, and of course the young lady was happy. ”

Fan Jin nodded when he heard this, and asked again: "Then you young ladies have not come out much in the past few days, is it because the weather is cold and infected with the wind cold?" ”

"That's not true, Miss has been in the cabin for the past few days, fiddling with the music box sent by Fan Gongzi every day to relieve boredom. In fact, Miss is like this, sometimes she likes to be lively, sometimes she likes to be quiet, and we can't guess. ”

In the music box, a simple but beautiful melody came out, and the girl's brows flickered, just like the mood of her daughter's family, unpredictable. On the desk, next to the music box was a gold watch and the monoculars. The fanwu brought by Fan Jin is very popular, and Zhang's is no exception. Next to these gifts, there is also a collection of poems, one side of the inkstone, these two are given by Liu Kanzhi.

Is it a gift? The girl thought about it, but she couldn't eat it for sure. I asked him to borrow the poetry collection, and I kept borrowing it. The bold girl even wanted to return the book with something in it, but she didn't expect Liu Kanzhi to answer directly, "You and my friendship, why do you need to return a collection of poems, if you like it, you can keep it yourself." The book thus became something she pressed under her pillow.

As for this inkstone, it was the lottery she won after playing chess once, she was very happy at the time, but now that she thinks about it, Liu Kanzhi's face at that time was actually not very good-looking, and she didn't even like to talk to herself much for a few days afterwards. Stingy, big wood! The girl whispered a few words in her heart, the music box was silent, and the girl subconsciously picked it up and continued to wind it.

Look at people, you are so generous when you lose chess, you say that you wear women's clothes, you wear women's clothes, there is no twisting at all and there is no unhappiness, what is so great about you Liu Kanzhi, why can't you let me?

The girl muttered to herself in her heart, thinking back to the experience of the two of them met, and she must admit that Liu Kanzhi is a typical upright gentleman, gentle as jade, and polite to everyone. Even when he socialized with those Qinglou women, he was very easy-going, which made those oirans secretly agree, but in fact, he never remembered their names in his heart. His character is very good, his family is innocent, his appearance is handsome, no matter how he looks at it, he is a good match, even she herself thinks so, but the problem is ...... Why can't he let himself?

No, no, no...... Can't think about it anymore. The girl reminded herself,...... He can only be a brother, he can't think about anything else, and from all aspects, he is not a good match. The circle of their choice is larger than that of ordinary women, but there are also many restrictions, compared to those who can't choose at all, and can only passively accept those who are much luckier. In this optional range, in fact, no one can compare with Liu Kanzhi, which is an indisputable fact. When you get married, it will always get better.

Click......

The girl unconsciously exerted force on her hand, but the string of the clockwork broke because it was too tight. She threw away the music box in frustration, and her mood became inexplicably bad. Just like the gloomy weather outside, my heart is depressed.

Since Changsha's victory, it has not only broken the chaos and thieves, but also fallen into the joy of He Xinyin's majesty, but at this time it has been replaced by an inexplicable emotion, which makes the girl always feel uncomfortable.

She knows that many women from large families actually have similar diseases. But most of that is because I am in the boudoir and can't have contact with the outside world, except for the butterfly fluttering for the show, I can only look at the script. Under the sadness of spring and autumn, a little feeling caused by the fact that he was able to travel with his brother, which is a rare treatment in the world, and he should not have this kind of emotion...... There shouldn't be.

A woman who has always been rational can sense the danger of her current thoughts, but reason does not hinder sensibility, and she knows that some ideas are wrong or unrealistic, but she cannot control her thinking in that direction. With his hands on his cheeks, he looked straight at the porthole, sometimes looking at poetry books, sometimes reaching for binoculars. It's just that as soon as the hand touched it, it immediately retracted as if it had been stung.

It wasn't until the maid walked in that the girl's thoughts were pulled back from nine days away, and looking at her own young lady like that, the maid said with concern: "Miss, you can't look like this, you only ate a little bit for lunch, and if you don't eat dinner, people will get sick." If you are upset, you can play chess with Liu Gongzi, or you can play blind chess with Fan Gongzi, you always have to have some fun for yourself. ”

"Fun...... Forget it, they are all people who are going to end, and I can't always pull them to play with me and waste their studies. You help me do something, inquire, is Fan Gongzi married? ”

"Huh?" The maid looked at the young lady dumbfounded, and the latter glared at her angrily, "Ahh What are you thinking? I mean, Miss Xu is still waiting to be in the boudoir, if Fan Gongzi is not married, wouldn't it be good to give them a pair of marriages? Besides, there are many nobles in Jiangning City, no matter which house you marry, it is a good thing. Fan Gongzi has helped us so much, shouldn't we help him? Hurry up and ask, be smart, and don't let anyone know. If the news leaks, see how I clean you up! ”

As soon as the maid slipped away, Zhang Shi let out a sigh of relief, and her slender and slender fingers like onion tubes gently groped on the telescope, "This is the best way...... And the only way. You are my good brother, always. ”

After the Ming Dynasty was martyred, the capital was set in the north, and the center of gravity went north, but the economy did not move along with the official yamen. From the beginning of the Son of Heaven guarding the country, to the later establishment of the Nine Sides, one of the problems faced by the capital was that it was too close to the Mongols. Once the Great Wall is broken, it is easy for the Iron Cavalry to disturb Gyeonggi. Of course, some merchants came to trade, but many more chose to stay in the south to make a living.

It is based on the upright pattern of the Ming Dynasty that the north is more important than the south, and in terms of economic development, the south is more important than the north. Although Jiangning has changed from the national capital to the accompanying capital, it has always been an important economic town, and its commercial development and prosperity are only stronger than those of the capital.

Fan Jin is used to seeing big scenes at the Guangzhou wharf, but compared with Jiangning, it can only be regarded as a small thing. Standing on the bow of the ship and looking at the ships in all directions, Fan Jin thought in his heart: If Guangzhou opens up sea trade, so that foreigners can trade in Guangzhou, then they may be able to surpass here.

There was a chill on his face, and when he looked up, he saw snowflakes falling in the hazy sky. This is obviously not the first snow in Jiangning, looking at the pier, the mountains and treetops are all hung with silver frost, according to Fan Jin's experience, such weather will not be light snow, I am afraid that this is just the beginning, and there will be heavy snow behind.

"Brother Fan, I heard that it rarely snows in your Guangdong region, and some Cantonese people have never seen snow in their lives, is it true?"

Zhang Maoxiu has a loyal and honest temperament, a few years younger, and his temperament is a bit like a big child, looking at this snow is actually more excited. For Fan Jin, he actually admires him more, and he also likes to chat with Fan Jin. Fan Jin said with a smile: "The third prince said that it is funny, we do have little snow in Guangdong, but we don't know it to the point where we don't know the snow." In fact, the year before last, it snowed in Guangdong. ”

Zhang sighed leisurely: "The time is impermanent, and it is not a good omen in the end. The snow in Jiangning seems to be much heavier than in previous years, and I remember the last time I visited, there was no such heavy snow here. I don't know how many crops will die, and the people don't know how many will freeze to death. ”

She was wearing a white fox coat, a satin skirt of the same color, and a snow-colored velvet hood on her head. Those on the dock who had no cotton clothes to wear, and their faces were red from the cold, and they couldn't stop jumping around, and the coolies who relied on exercise to keep out the cold pointed here, and whispered:

"Fairy ......"

"Fairy, huh?"

"Where did the fairy come from, in my opinion, I'm afraid it's a princess......"

Zhang Sixiu laughed and said: "Little sister is still so compassionate and compassionate, even the thoughts of the six departments of Jiangning have to leave, if you become the prime minister, I am afraid that the people below will be able to hide and relax." Everyone performs their duties, and we don't have to worry about this disaster relief and people's protection, and we don't have to worry about it. I think this snow scene is good, and when we settle down, let's find a place to enjoy the snow and poetry, so as to live up to this great scenery! ”

Zhang said softly: "There seem to be a lot fewer people on this dock than usual. ”

Fan Jin said: "Maybe it's winter, there is less work on the dock, and there are fewer people. ”

"Brother Fan, that's not what I said, Jiangning is a land and water rush, and there are constantly people on the dock all year round, even in the depths of winter, there will be no such people. I always feel that there is something strange ......"

While she was thinking, a burst of trumpets sounded on the dock, and then there were bursts of people shouting horses and shaking flags, and the dock, which was still considered too quiet by the Zhang family, instantly became noisy. Soon, several big flags appeared in everyone's sight

"Hereditary Duke of Wei", "Garrison Jiangning and Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army", "Prince Taibao", "Commander of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army"、...... Flags representing official titles and identities rang out with the deafening sound of cannons. The girl frowned lightly and muttered in a low voice: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and it's still an ordinary gentleman, which is really a headache." He turned around and walked into the cabin.

Zhang Sixiu said with a smile: "When we come to Jiangning, the landlord will definitely come out to greet us, Grandpa Xu is elder will not come in person, it must be his son Xu Weizhi who borrowed Lao Tzu's honor guard to put on a scene." The little grandfather is good, but he likes style. Let those old men see it, and it is indispensable to participate in his book. ”

Liu Kanzhi also said: "Hereditary nobles, that's what it looks like." As long as he doesn't make a big fuss, no one is impatient to worry about anything with him, not to mention that he hasn't attacked the lord after all, that is, he is an ordinary character in the ya, who is as knowledgeable as him, so he has to mess around. ”

The officers and soldiers wearing mandarin duck battle jackets, waving leather whips and began to drive people, coolies wearing single clothes, merchants wearing silk satin cotton jackets, and guards wearing military uniforms and equipment, all of them ran around with their heads in their arms under the leather whips, and some people fled in a hurry, and fell into the water without paying attention, and their partners hurriedly tried to rescue. At this time, the river water is cold and biting, even if it can be watery, I am afraid that I will be seriously ill after coming up. Except for well-dressed scholars, few people were spared from this whip storm.

As the crowd was driven away, several big men with thick voices shouted in unison: "The little grandfather has arrived!" I saw dozens of soldiers kneeling on the ground at the same time, forming a human wall, and a scarlet carpet rolled all the way down the dock towards the place where the Zhang's big ship was moored.

A tall figure appeared on the red carpet, running towards the big ship as if flying, and said as he ran: "Second Brother Zhang, Brother Kanzhi, Third Brother, you miss the little brother!" ”

Fan Jin watched from the bow of the boat, but saw that the person who came was wearing a golden crown with tied hair, two dragons playing with beads to wipe his forehead, wearing big red arrow sleeves, covered with a stone blue Ning silk mink gown, with gold flowers on his head, a jewel and jade around his waist, and a chain of Taixi's gold watch, which was still exposed on the outside of his clothes. Don't ask, it is the little grandfather Xu Weizhi who came.

Zhang Maoxiu whispered: "He is the No. 1 gentleman in Jiangning City, and he is also the local overlord, he is not bad, but he always loves to bully people." Brother Fan should not be like him, lest he be angry with him......"
