A few days later, Yang Lin had completely settled down, looking at Li Youlan, who was getting thinner and thinner, although he was reluctant, he still sent four bird guns, and asked a servant to accompany him, the official was familiar with the geography of Guangzhou Mansion, and it was much more convenient along the way, saving a lot of trouble.

Finally, Yang Lin took Amin and Yang Xiao to stand at a ferry at the mouth of the Pearl River to bid farewell to Li Youlan and his party.

Ferry, above the pier.

Yang Lin looked at the emaciated Li Youlan affectionately, and said affectionately: "Youlan, will you miss me?" ”

It seemed that there were too many people, Li Youlan showed a look of coyness and was silent. Yang Lin glanced at Yang Xiao, the kid turned away very interestingly, how could Li Youlan's two maids and four entourages not see this scene? How can you not understand what the situation is now? Without Yang Lin's signal, they all took their burdens and boarded the boat first, waiting for their young lady.

At the same time, Yang Lin took out a hairpin from his arms, grabbed Li Youlan's little hand, and said emotionally: "Youlan, this is for you, don't refuse, this is Brother Yang's intention~", the word heart, Yang Lin's medicine is extremely heavy, and he said it word by word.

When she heard those two words, Li Youlan's heart trembled, of course she understood what Yang Lin meant, and a voice sounded in her head, as if she was asking herself, but she was full of certainty.

"Does this count as a token of affection? It should be~! ”

Thinking of this, Li Youlan's face couldn't help but turn red, full of shyness. She didn't know that her soft little hand had already taken Yang Lin's hairpin and clenched it tightly, completely out of emotion.

It seems that the people of Guangzhou Mansion have had more contact with foreigners, and they are accustomed to such a scene, and they don't feel that these two young people have exceeded the etiquette, but they just look here from time to time to take a look.

At this moment, when Yang Lin was about to say something, there was a shout from the ferry, which contained the meaning of urging.

"Start the ship, the guest officers who did not board the ship board the ship as soon as possible, and they will soon pull the anchor and set sail!"

In an instant, Li Youlan turned his head and left, and went straight to the ferry, mixed with the shyness of the little woman, and a crisp voice reached Yang Lin's ears, making Yang Lin feel that on the dog day, drinking a can of cold beer, so cool, the sound was like a heavenly sound.

"Brother Yang, I will miss you, in Xiangshan, waiting for you~"

Yang Lin stood quietly on the dock, waved his hand, and said goodbye to Li Youlan. I don't know when, the ferry disappeared above the horizon, and the group left. For a while, Yang Lin felt that his heart was empty, as if something was missing.

At the time of the farewell, an explosive news circulated among the upper echelons of the Guangzhou Prefecture, which was full of shock, and attracted the attention of some people, some of whom were stammering, some were friendly, and some were even more hostile.

The Guangdong Customs Department, the office of the General Mouth Commissioner, the two people talked mysteriously, and their words were full of conspiracy and resentment.

"Lord Song, don't worry, although that kid has Feng Shen Yinde and Heshen's sons, you don't have to be afraid. Anyway, my brother-in-law is also the governor of Guangdong, a first-class official, what if he doesn't dare to take me? ”

"But~ Brother Li, after all, that kid has Heshen's son Fengshen Yinde as a backer, and now Heshen is still the Minister of Military Aircraft, walking in the imperial study, still favored by Emperor Qianlong, even today's emperor doesn't dare to do anything with Shen, look at us"

"What is there to be afraid of, this is Guangzhou, the emperor is far away, no matter how powerful he and Shen are, their hands and feet can't reach here, how can we endure it?"

Lord Song was not relieved by Li Lianying's relief, he was still worried, and said with concern: "However, our overseer and He Shen are world friends, and they value that kid very much, so we have to pay attention to this relationship?" ”

Li Lianying was silent, and she didn't know how to answer this timid Lord Song for a while. After a short silence, he said again: "At most, let's bear with it first, the term of office of the superintendent is only one year, and when he leaves, that kid will have no one to rely on in the territory of Guangzhou, let's take revenge and sweep away the previous shame~!" ”

"Okay~ Brother Li, that's the only way to go."

Although Lord Song replied like this, his tone was full of powerlessness, but he didn't think so in his heart, and kept muttering.

"You Li Lianying have the governor's brother-in-law to rely on, but I am only a small member of the general committee, and I am still one of the seven. I don't know how many people are worried about this kind of fat shortage, as long as the overseer expresses a trace of dissatisfaction to the General's Mansion, I will be removed. ”

"No, I can't hang myself from a tree, let's see if I can find a chance to rebuild with that Yang Lin and maintain a good relationship, at least until the overseer steps down~!"

While Lord Song was playing Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, Li Lianying's eyes were full of gloom and coldness, as if she was planning something in her heart?

In the courtyard of a luxurious deep house, in the study, eighteen giants dressed as merchants sat there, and the host and guest were seated, although the leader was young, none of the people below showed contempt, and they were all very respectful.

Because the people of the throne have created a myth that in this Guangzhou, and even in the whole of Guangdong Province, they are famous, occupy the position of the chief merchant, and the family property is incalculable, and the treasures are innumerable.

"Wu Huitou, what do you think of the new president of the dental bank? How should we deal with it in the future? ”

"Yes~ I heard that the position of the governor was originally supposed to be the governor's brother-in-law, but now that he has been replaced, that person may hate the new president. Although we are subordinate to the Guangdong Customs Department and under the control of the Yaxing, the governor's yamen is not something we can afford to provoke. ”

"Yes, exactly. The governor can also control us, and if we don't get it right, we will suffer unjustified disasters. On the side of the tooth shop, it is our top boss, and the foreign ships coming and going in and out of the port all need the nod of our new president. Otherwise, we won't be able to do anything with foreigners! ”

The young businessman surnamed Wu remained silent, not expressing any opinion, his eyes flashing, as if he was thinking about something. Seeing that the voices of those peers below were becoming more and more intense, and the noise was very loud, he spoke out to stop it and expressed his own opinions.

"Everyone, how about listening to what you think? Then you talk about it,"

Suddenly, the originally noisy scene was contained and a quiet atmosphere was restored, which shows how much prestige this young businessman surnamed Wu has, and he controlled the scene with just a short sentence.

"Colleagues, I understand your concerns and the situation we are in. But have you ever thought about it? Since the new president was able to squeeze out the governor's brother-in-law and take up a post in the tooth bank, it means that his background is not simple, and it is not something that we merchants can afford to provoke. ”

In an instant, everyone realized the key, and they were speechless, not knowing how to refute? Yes, since it is possible to obtain a fat gap in Guangzhou, where all parties are entrenched in the staggered and complex situation, although the position is not large, it is very critical, which shows the extraordinary background of it.

At the same time, after a short silence, a slightly older man who seemed to be very prestigious among the crowd asked, "Nephew Wu Xian, what should you do now?" Don't offend the governor, or the new governor? ”

The young businessman surnamed Wu thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "What we do in normal times, what we do now." They do not tell the truth, but they do not help each other, and they do not offend each other. ”

"Remember, don't get too close to the new Governor, and don't get too close to the Governor to avoid misunderstandings. Otherwise, we will be the ones who will suffer in the end, and the consequences may not be affordable to everyone! ”

The words echoed in the closed study, loud and loud. Those present were shrewd businessmen, and of course understood the purpose of these words, as well as the consequences of the slightest carelessness.

Subsequently, these people secretly recounted the specific details, discussed the upcoming summer, and the transaction with the merchants entered a busy stage, the price of some goods, how to buy tea silk, porcelain and other goods?

However, due to his sudden arrival, Yang Lin was not aware of all this because of the person involved in the Thirteen Lines in Guangzhou, and he did not know that his name had been circulated among the high-level people in Guangzhou Prefecture, causing heated discussions.

Yang Lin returned from the ferry, and locked himself in the study in full view of the officials. At this time, the study was empty, there was no shadow of Yang Lin, and it was as if he had disappeared.
