In the "White Stone Building" in the stone nest garden of the mansion next to the Treasury Square in the south of the city, Ruan Dacheng sat in his own pavilion, staring at the lotus flowers in the pond, although there were handsome little maids on both sides who kept fanning their fans, Ruan Dacheng still felt hot and uneasy.

In the past few days, Ruan Dacheng has always felt unsteady, and he felt that he had really done a stupid thing last time, and he shouldn't have made this head, and let Tian Yang go to Yangzhou to make money.

I didn't pay attention to Shi Kefa, the governor of Huaiyang, and the last time the imperial court appointed Luo Jian as the governor of Huaiyang, but he didn't have any will for Shi Kefa, obviously his sacred heart has been lost.

And Ruan Dacheng, the mind of the Ma Ge Department, consciously grasped it very accurately, and he would not let Shi Kefa return to the court to be his enemy.

Ruan Dacheng is most worried that if Tian Yang goes to Yangzhou to exploit the people, let Luo Jian know that I am afraid it will be a big trouble, this Luo Jian protects the people's temperament, and the last time he gave Ruan Dacheng at the east gate of Yangzhou, he felt very deeply.

The more he thought about it, the more he was afraid, the more he thought about it, the more he regretted it, Ruan Dacheng felt that he had to take remedial measures as soon as possible, thinking about it, he couldn't advocate for a while, so anxious that Ruan Dacheng stood up and paced by the pond.

"Why is Daddy so troubled, can you tell your daughter?" A tactful voice came from behind him, Ruan Dacheng looked back and saw that it was his daughter Ruan Lizhen who came with two maids.

Ruan Dacheng has no children in his life, just as he wrote a couplet in the study, "No children, one is light, there are officials and everything is enough", God actually did what he wanted, although there were many wives and concubines, Ruan Dacheng had only this one daughter Ruan Lizhen who was born with a beautiful face and moon under his knees.

For his only baby daughter, Ruan Dacheng loves him very much.

This Liniang has also been extremely talented since she was a child, under the influence of Ruan Dacheng, her talent is not weak, and now the sixteen-year-old Ruan Lizhen has imitated her father to make several legends, and people are praised when they see it.

"Alas, Li Niang, Daddy is so upset, just because Daddy is afraid that he offended the Governor of Huaiyang the day before yesterday." Ruan Dacheng didn't hide it from his daughter, called his daughter's name, waved his hand and let the maids go away, and then said what he thought in his heart.

"Daddy said that the governor of Huaiyang is the angel who came down from the sky to save Yangzhou? Didn't Daddy get along very well with him last time he went to Yangzhou? How have you sinned against him again today? Ruan Lizhen asked softly.

Ruan Dacheng only then told the cause and effect, Li Niang immediately frowned when she heard it, and said softly: "Daddy, what kind of person is this metropolitan governor?" ”

"Alas, Liniang, your father and I have seen many people in my life, from the Son of Heaven to the Chinese martial arts, but no one has made Daddy so unclear, respectful, fearful, and hateful, anyway, in front of him, Daddy unconsciously felt that he was a head shorter." Ruan Dacheng thought for a moment, sighed and said.

"Oh, I heard my father say this about this metropolitan governor, Li Niang really wants to see it, I don't know what kind of person this metropolitan governor is, so that my father is so entangled, I don't know if there is a chance?" Li Niang's eyes showed a look of hope.

Looking at his daughter, Ruan Dacheng remembered his previous calculations, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.

Luo Jian and Shi Kefa, who returned to Yangzhou from Yizheng, each wrote a memo to the imperial court, Shi Kefa's memo was written by himself, Luo Jian's memo was ghostwritten by Wang Xiuchu, and attached to the back of the memo was a handful of photos typed out with a printer.

The next day, the two copies of the folds arrived in the hands of the Nanjing Ma Ge Department, and under the whip of the horse, they actually arrived in Nanjing before Tian Yang.

After reading Shi Kefa's recital first, seeing that he was just advising the emperor to put state affairs first, and it was not appropriate to build a large construction project to repair the palace at this time, the Ma Gebu smiled slightly and put it aside casually.

When he picked up Luo Jian's recital and looked at it, Ma Gebu's face suddenly changed greatly.

The Governor's compromises are not without a word of advice to the emperor, but a number of data are listed, all of which are made of tables, and the data are actually the recovery of agricultural production and commerce in various parts of Yangzhou, these data are clear at a glance, and it can be seen directly from the data that Yangzhou is in urgent need of the imperial court to help it resume production, needless to say how ridiculous it is to collect taxes in Yangzhou at this time.

Later, Tian Yang's actions after arriving at Yizheng were explained, and the pictures attached to it were all his evil deeds during Yizheng, and the killed Yizheng merchants and smashed shops were clearly visible, and there were text descriptions below the pictures.

Holding this recital, Ma Gebu suddenly felt extremely hot.

I didn't feel right when I thought about it, so I hurriedly summoned a group of staff members to come over to discuss.

All the staff members felt very novel after seeing Luo Jian's recital, but there was no useful idea, which made Ma Gebu very anxious.

However, a shrewd staff member saw the uneasiness of the cabinet and stepped forward and said: "This idea of collecting taxes in Yangzhou is not from the cabinet department, why should the cabinet bother themselves, you can just present the fold to the emperor." ”

When Ma Shiying heard it, it was really like this, he had a mind at the beginning, but now that the matter has really come, he is not without anything to say.

Hurriedly took two copies of the recital and hurriedly entered the palace to report to the emperor, and when he arrived at the Wuying Palace, he looked up and saw that Ruan Dacheng was already there.

The huge Wuying Hall does not make people feel stuffy, there are two large basins of ice on both sides of the emperor's throne, and there are two palace maids shaking fans behind him, and the obese Zhu Youxiang is very comfortable.

Ma Shiying saw that Ruan Dacheng went to the palace to find the emperor in private without consulting him, and he suddenly felt a little unhappy.

"Mr. Ma, please take a seat, I don't know what Mr. Ma is here for? Ruan Qing's family has just come here, why don't we discuss it together? Zhu Youxiang was as polite to Ma Shiying as ever.

"Your Majesty, the Governor and Governor of Huaiyang are all on the show, and the ministers are about to take the emperor's imperial tour." After Ma Shiying finished speaking, he handed the two copies of the fold in his hand to the little eunuch who stepped forward.

Ruan Dacheng heard that Luo Jian and Shi Kefa were both on the setback, and his heart suddenly tightened.

Zhu Youxiang first hurriedly looked at Shi Kefa's recital, but didn't pay much attention to it.

picked up Luo Jian's fold again, saw the table in front of him, saw that it was full of numbers, and was a little impatient, so he flipped it back, and saw that it was Tian Yang's evil deeds in Yizheng, and it was also a passing by.

After seeing the picture behind me and looking at it for a long time, I asked, "Mr. Ma, how did you draw this painting, and it was so realistic?" Although Yangzhou also sent some last time, but its paintings were full of corpses, and I felt uncomfortable, but these paintings were much better. It would be great if he could ask him to draw a few pictures of the beauties in the palace. ”

After listening to Zhu Youxiang's words, Ma Shiying was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

Zhu Youxiang handed the fold in his hand to the little eunuch and said, "I can't bear to take a closer look, you can also take a look at Ruan Qing's family." ”

Ruan Dacheng took the two copies and read them carefully, but he was silent for a long time after reading them.

Zhu Youxiang thought that he was also shocked by the realistic pictures, and asked, "Ruan Qingjia, what do you think?" ”

Ruan Dacheng reacted immediately, guessing what the emperor meant, and said: "Your Majesty, these angels have a lot of magical things, and now the situation in Yangzhou has been basically stable, and the Qing soldiers have retreated to Xuzhou. ”

Ma Shiying saw that the emperor did not play his cards according to common sense, and sat next to him and said nothing.

"Who can send an envoy to Yangzhou again?" Zhu Youxiang was a little worried, this Qin sent countless people, and he didn't see this Huaiyang Metropolitan Governor come to meet him, and he didn't know who to send.

But he doesn't have to worry about this, Ruan Dacheng has already thought about it for him.

"The minister thought that the Ministry of Rites Qian Shangshu could also."

Mr. Qian Qianyi, the former leader of the Donglin Party and a well-known leader in the literary world, walked out of the door early this morning, and felt that the magpies in the trees in the courtyard were calling very beautifully today.

said that he was the former leader of the Donglin Party because Mr. Qian had already withdrawn from the "quagmire" of the Donglin Party, and now he had taken refuge in Ma Gebu and Ruan Shangshu.

The current Qian Muzhai has already swept away the previous decline and disambition, and the small life is very comfortable.

Since four years ago, he braved the world's disapproval at the age of 60 and married the 24-year-old Liu Rushi in the "Qin Huai Bayan" with the courtesy and righteousness of "matching", and now the two of them are inscribed flowers and willows, tea and chess, mandarin ducks playing in the water, and playing the piano and singing, which is really a model of old husbands and young wives.

Although the life is comfortable, but as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Qian Qianyi still feels that his ambition has not been rewarded, since the emperor appointed himself as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he has not summoned his majesty for a long time, and he can only compose poems at home every day for pleasure with his beloved wife, which makes Qian Qianyi feel quite unhappy in his heart.

Qian Qianyi, who had an intuition that something happy was coming, had never received good news until he was about to have lunch, and he was very anxious in his heart, walking to the steps in front of the "Banye Hall" and pacing back and forth, lowering his head and thinking about what good news might come.

"What are you thinking?" There was a beautiful voice in my ears, and when I looked up, I saw that Liu Ru had just come back from outside, followed by two maids and two little maids.

"Hedong-kun, where did you come from?" Seeing that fine sweat was oozing from Liu Ru is forehead, Qian Qianyi hurriedly took out a handkerchief and stepped forward to gently wipe Liu Ru is forehead.

This "Hedong Jun" is the nickname given by Qian Qianyi to his beloved wife, but it has nothing to do with "Hedong Lion's Roar".

"Master, what do you think the concubine bought you back?" Liu Ru blinked mischievously, and enjoyed Qian Qianyi's love very much.

"Oh, what did you buy for the master? Could it be a good inkstone? Qian Qianyi was a little curious.

Liu Ru shook his head gently, and couldn't bear to let the old man bother, so the little guy behind him walked forward with a cardboard box.

"Master, this thing is really expensive, I think the master must like it, so I bought it for eight hundred taels of silver, if I don't start quickly, I'm afraid I won't be able to grab it." Liu said with a smile.

This year's Qian Qianyi is not as good as in previous years, but he didn't take the eight hundred taels of silver to heart, and he just wanted to love his wife and buy him something.

The little guy stepped forward and opened the box carefully, Qian Qianyi saw that there was a delicate box in the box, and he was suddenly a little anxious, so he wanted to step forward and pick up the box.

"Master, this thing is very fragile, so you have to be careful." Liu Ru gently patted Qian Qianyi's hand, and said with a slight sneer in her mouth.

Still let the little guy take out the box gently, and when he opened it on the table, Qian Qianyi's eyes suddenly didn't roll.

Inside the box is a set of five beautifully crafted glasses.

Liu Ru asked people to bring clean water, personally took the glasses and put them in the water one by one to clean, and then asked people to bring boiling water, and after drying their hands, they made a cup of Biluochun for Qian Qianyi.

"Do you like it?" Liu Ru asked a little smugly.

"Those who know me love their wives, and my lord really loves you!" Qian Qianyi was overjoyed, ignoring the presence of his subordinates, and opened his mouth to say to Liu.

"Master, people are here now." Liu Ru said with a red face.

"It's okay, it's okay." Qian Qianyi said as he stared at the cup carefully.

"Master, I also bought a thing, and it is also very expensive." Liu Ru said with a twist.

"Oh, but what is it, my beloved wife likes to buy it." Qian Qianyi responded without a word, but his eyes were still on the cup.

Liu Ru took a bag from the hand of the maid beside her, took out a small box from it, and took out a delicate small glass bottle from the box.

Qian Qianyi, who came back to his senses, took the vial from Liu Rushi's hand, and saw that this small glass bottle was very exquisitely made, and on the other hand, he actually painted a colorful picture of a lady, and the mouth of the bottle was covered with a cork, and it seemed to be filled with water.

was about to use his hands to unplug the cork, but Liu Ru took it.

"Master, this vial is very expensive, the concubine spent five hundred taels of silver to buy it, so you have to be careful."

"What is it in it that is so valuable?" Qian Qianyi couldn't figure it out.

Liu Ru carefully uncorked the bottle, only opened it for a moment and quickly plugged it again.

After a while, there was a faint fragrance in the room, and Qian Yiyi was very curious, and he kept shrugging his nose.

"This thing is called perfume, and it is used by a woman, so how about it after the concubine has bathed herself?" Liu Ru was a little worried that Qian Qianyi was too expensive, and said softly.

Qian Qianyi was intoxicated by this faint fragrance, and when he heard Liu Ru's words, he hurriedly said, "How about my beloved wife, please go to the bath?" ”

Seeing that he didn't think he was buying too expensive, Liu Ru felt relieved, and said with a smile: "Master, it's noon, how about using the concubine body in the evening?" ”

Seeing that the two of them said these words, several maids and little maids had already consciously retreated.

The two slowly said some love words, but they didn't know how much time had passed.

Just after lunch, I heard that someone came to report that someone from the palace wanted the lord to see His Majesty in the palace, and Qian Qianyi's beard was cocked.
