On the second day, at the end of the month, Yangzhou was still calm, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the government was honest, just like the lion forest.

Before dawn, Su Lin got up early, there were too many things to deal with, because he had not yet been completely settled in the manor, so he didn't invite anyone, but the three hundred catties of oil had to be sent to others as soon as possible.

Jade Scale didn't know where to spend a few taels of silver to get a donkey cart, although the old donkey was a little stubborn, but fortunately, it was hard-working, and the price was cheap, and when he saw this donkey, Su Lin thought that the old master couldn't stand the old donkey's temper, so he sold it.

However, no one has a good time these years, and Su Lin always felt a little uncomfortable after buying this donkey cart for a few taels of silver, so he asked Yu Liang to send two more taels of silver over.

If it was placed the day before yesterday, Su Lin was definitely not so generous, and now that life is not worried, it is better to be fair.

It was close to morning when the things were delivered, and the shopkeeper Zhang insisted on letting Su Lin sit for a while so that he could have a good meal: "Scatter more pairs of chopsticks, and eat and go." ”

It was easy to shirk it, and Su Lin took the jade scales to the manor to clean up again, and then returned to the city for dinner.

In addition to rice and steamed buns, Yangzhou's breakfast is no different from other places in the south of the Yangtze River, which is nothing more than some desserts and cakes.

Su Lin is a native of Chongqing, and he is not used to eating these, but once in a while, he feels good.

"Su Wenbang!"

Just as Su Lin was eating with relish, a gentle voice that revealed majesty sounded, and when he looked up, this person looked like he was only in his thirties, but somehow, he had the temperament of a middle-aged man in his forties.

"Liu Zhizhou?" Seeing the person coming, Su Lin recognized it at a glance, "Su Lin, who was born late, has seen Liu Zhizhou."

”

Yu Liang was also startled, how could he meet a state parent official here, and hurriedly got up and saluted Su Lin, twisting and pinching, but he couldn't say a word.

Glancing at the jade scales, Liu Yan instructed the little servant to order food, and then looked at Su Lin: "This is not a yamen, there is no need to salute." ”

"Liu Zhizhou is a senior, a model for my generation, as a late student, whether he is in the yamen or not, the etiquette cannot be messed up." Su Lin chuckled lightly and finished his salute, "How about Zhizhou coming to eat and sharing the table with Su Lin?" ”

Liu Yan frowned, there were not a few tables in the inn at this time, and seeing that no one was paying attention to this, he nodded: "Okay, if you can sit at the same table with the talented people, it may become a good story in the future." ”

Su Lin knew that Liu Yan was promoting him, but he didn't know how to talk, in front of people like Liu Yan, it was not good to be too modest, but he couldn't admit it, this Liu Zhizhou was really the topic terminator.

After Liu Yan sat down, he didn't speak again, Su Lin and Yu Liang restrained themselves, and they didn't dare to talk about the topic at will, and the two couldn't help but regret their decision to invite Zhizhou to sit at the same table...

After eating like this for a while, just as Su Lin was about to say goodbye, Liu Yan looked at the sun outside, turned around and ordered three cups of tea, and said with a smile: "It's too early, since we met by chance, the old man has a few questions he wants to ask Wenbang." ”

Ask questions? Su Lin was a little stunned, he was just a poor scholar before, and he had never been in contact with a big man like Liu Yan, except for this time, the only time he made himself bleed.

However, since everyone has taken the initiative to talk to him, he obviously looks down on himself: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, Su Lin listened." ”

At this time, the guy served tea, and Liu Yan added a little sugar to it: "This tea is well cooked." ”

Su Lin saw that the tea in this world was still boiled tea, ginger, salt, sugar and even mustard were all strange, so he tried to drink it, it was spicy and bitter, it was very unpleasant, but when the tea was over, it was warm, and there was still a trace of sweetness in his mouth.

"Surin Su Wenbang... Wending Anbang, standing in the forest of literati, is a good name..."After taking a sip of tea, Liu Yan sighed, looking at Su Lin's gaze with a hint of nostalgia.

Su Lin was stunned, and when he said his name, listening to this tone, it seemed that he had something to do with himself?

Putting the teacup down, Liu Yan looked up at Su Lin: "But I have doubts, why did I mention your name?" ”

Su Lin nodded, kneeling at the table, as well-behaved as this teacup.

Seeing Su Lin's performance like this, Liu Yan nodded with satisfaction: "When I was dealing with the case at that time, I felt that this name was a little familiar, and after meeting you, this familiarity was even worse, but I couldn't remember it for a while, yesterday, when I was sleepwalking in Zhou Gong, I remembered some of the past..."

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at Su Lin: "Your father, but his name is Su Yun?" ”

Yes, that Su Xiucai's father is indeed called Su Yun.

"My father has been dead for more than ten years, and my family is unfortunate..."Thinking of his aunt's silver strands mixed with black hair, Su Lin sighed lightly, although Su Xiucai is a nerd, why is he not burdened with the will of the entire family and the expectations of his aunt?

Hearing Su Lin's affirmative answer, Liu Yan's eyes were full of reminiscence: "I am a classmate with your father, and I studied together at Yunmeng Academy in Jiangning, as well as your uncles and uncles... Later, I went to Yingchuan with your father to study, and after entering Beijing, your father failed the exam several times and never saw him again..."

"When I first entered Beijing, your mother reported the good news, and Donglin said that if the child is a boy, his name will be his word, and your word is my name... Later, I heard that there was a big flood in Suzhou, and there was not one in ten..."

Speaking of this, Liu Yan looked at Su Lin's eyes with a hint of relief, and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect Donglin's Lin'er to still be there, and now he is a rare talent, after Donglin has it, I will be relieved..."

"Your father is the person I admire the most, a literati, a literati... The Su family, the home of the wind and bones..."

I see, my father and Liu Yan are classmates, if there is no opponent, I am afraid that the father now is at least a Zhizhou...

"The Su family?" The jade scales on the side listened with relish with his chin in his hand, his eyes were full of suspicion, and he suddenly spoke, "But my cousin's former home?" ”

"It is the House of the Three Sus, the House of Mr. Dongpo." Liu Yan nodded, "Mr. Dongpo tried his best to oppose the new party back then, if Wang Xiangguo is still here, it would be fine, after all, Wang Xiangguo has a clear distinction between public and private, and later Mr. Dongpo died of illness, and after Taishi Cai, he targeted the Su family everywhere..."

Hearing this, Su Lin's heart was shocked, he had been wondering, what grievances could implicate several generations, but he didn't expect that it was actually involved in the party struggle of the year, and finally Cai Jing...

This world is too similar to the history of the life in which I live...

Su Lin knew that the burden on his shoulders was not light, because the Cai family was still in the court, deep-rooted, and powerful...

He stood up and bowed deeply to Liu Yan: "Su Lin, I've seen Uncle Shi." ”

Liu Yan nodded with satisfaction, Donglin is like this, presumably he can also smile at Jiuquan...
