After that, Lin Ruhai no longer regarded Lin Zhao as a child.

Even if he drank with the Qingke, he often took Lin Zhao over.

In fact, this is not uncommon in large households, and the host will generally let his son come out to entertain guests, so as to familiarize himself with such routines as soon as possible, so as to take on family affairs and make contacts in the future.

In fact, Lin Ruhai went to Yangzhou to take office this time, and these Qingke invited by him are also capable, but the scientific examination is not good, he cannot hold a high official position, and he is unwilling to commit himself to his subordinates, so he and under the recommendation of an acquaintance, he became a staff member of a senior official, hoping that one day he can take this opportunity to go straight to the clouds.

On this day, the fortune boat arrived in Anqing Mansion, the big guy took a day off, and made an appointment to go to Anqing Mansion to play, even Lin Ruhai was interested, took Jia Min and Daiyu, hired a car, accompanied by three worshippers, and got off the boat.

But there were two Qingke, and one was enshrined.

Lin Zhao thought about it, stayed too, ordered the kitchen to prepare some wine and food, and invited the three of them to come over, while enjoying the lake and mountains of Anqing Mansion, while talking freely.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, everyone was also interested, and it didn't take long for Lin Zhao to see that this Qingke committee named Zhang Wannian was really a character, and he took the initiative just by talking and laughing.

Most of the topics on the wine table were picked by him, sometimes witty, sometimes not filthy, but everywhere left room for another Qing guest Chen Yang, and also put a high hat on Lin Zhao's head, but there was not much flattery, low and small between the words.

That's it, you must know that since the Song and Ming dynasties, because of the maturity of the imperial examination system and the civil official system, the status of the martial arts has been much worse than before.

Although the few worshippers around Lin Ruhai were royal servants, they always had a feeling of inferiority when facing literati.

But in this Wannian speech, he also took care of the worship named Li Long.

In this Zhang Wannian's joke, his old-fashioned way of proportionality is really convincing.

Moreover, Zhang Wannian's views on officialdom, people's livelihood, and current disadvantages are also somewhat unique, which shows that he is not only good at communicating, but also has a lot of hills and valleys in his chest.

Lin Zhao recalled that few officials he had seen since his rebirth seemed to be comparable to each other—in fact, in order to make the Dao Heart perfect, he had been immersing himself in a situation that matched his age, and he had never seen many officials.

"Brother Lin Shi. ”

Zhang Wannian said to Lin Zhao: "The improvisation after you swam the Yangtze River that day, although it was only half a run, but it was full of pride and joy, which was admirable. With the talent of the world brother, in the future, I am afraid that the young phoenix will be clear to the old phoenix. ”

As he spoke, he shook his head, and his face seemed to be admiring, as if from the heart.

Lin Zhao smiled, his face accepting it calmly.

It turned out that when Lin Zhao was appreciating Zhang Wannian in his heart, why wasn't Zhang Wannian weighing Lin Zhao?

At this time, there were four people at the banquet, Zhang Wannian certainly took the initiative, and Chen Yang and Li Long, who were coaxing, danced with his words like marionettes.

But Lin Zhao is like a warm jade, he is easy to keep his own world, and when it comes to people's livelihood and political affairs, he has something to say, which is not like the rhetoric of a teenager who has read a few books nowadays.

With such an age, such a character, and the son of a high-ranking official, and a family background, it is really appropriate to describe it with the words 'promising future'!

Therefore, Zhang Wannian couldn't help but have three points of admiration and seven points of respect for talents, so he said this.

Lin Zhao smiled when he heard this, and was about to speak, but Li Long next to him said: "Mr. Zhang, if you say anything else, I don't understand, I don't dare to interject, but if you talk about the talent of the world brother, I think that the world brother Yunwen Yunwu, the double phase is shining, you must know that the people who swim in the Yangtze River do not know how many, but in such a short time, the speed of swimming is as fast as a bird, I am afraid that there is no other person in the world." It is enough to see that the true qi of the world brother is sufficient, even if he takes the path of a military attaché, he can also spread his wings and fly high. ”

"Haha...... , what Mr. Li said is very much, how can the young man of the world be willing to spend time on the case?"

Zhang Wannian slapped his head lightly, and laughed: "Blame me, blame me, both civil and military, young hero, and have a great future, but I only think about the civil official case - that's it, I'll punish myself with a cup of apology first!"

The meal was drunk until the sun went down, and the others came back one after another.

This Chen Yang and Li Long are talented, but the amount of alcohol is low, and they were manipulated by Zhang Wannian and Lin Zhao, a big and a small fox, and they were drunk, Lin Zhao and Zhang Wannian called the servants, carried them back to their residence, and then staggered out of the restaurant on the second floor, walked to the deck, stood side by side, and overlooked the lake and mountains together, the red sun and clouds. , I don't know what I said.

When the others came back, they saw a big and a small drunk watching the scene, so they naturally didn't bother to pay attention.

I don't know how long they chatted, Zhang Wannian was a little tired, so he said goodnight to each other, and each of them was supported by others, and stumbled to his residence.

But it was said that Lin Zhao walked more than a dozen steps away, and subconsciously looked back, but he didn't want to meet Zhang Wannian's gaze, his four eyes were shining, full of inquiry, but how could there be any drunkenness?

The two of them couldn't help but be stunned, and then they laughed in unison.

After laughing for a long time, he arched his hand again, one walked to the guest staircase, and the other walked to the inner staircase, but there was a little staggering at his feet.

"Little fox, your scheming is unfathomable!" Zhang Wannian thought in his heart.

"Old fox! It seems that this man is not simple. Lin Zhao thought in his heart, and then smiled indifferently, feeling very interesting.

At this time, he is not like he used to be high, but from the perspective of an official eunuch, he looks at the world and analyzes the characters, which is really interesting.

The lives of ordinary people are just as colorful.

The guidance of this Xuandu ** master really makes sense.

The next day, Lin Jiafu's boat continued to set sail and arrived near Zhenjiang Mansion within a few days.

This night will be spent in Zhenjiang Mansion.

When Lin Jiafu's boat fell asleep, in a mansion in Zhenjiang City, a few miles away, there were more than a dozen brocade merchants gathered together.

The leader is a big man with a rough face and a glittering eye, he has a tiger-eyed lion's nose, quite majestic, and two golden galls in his hands.

This person is none other than Guo Tianhong, the leader of the Cao Gang.

But in the market, everyone respectfully calls him Mr. Lin, the president of the Huaishang Chamber of Commerce.

A shrewd and capable guy is bowing down to report: "President Qiyu, you can see it clearly, the new salt patrol imperial history Lin Ruhai's ship is parked at Zhenjiang Wharf, in addition to the Lin family's family, subordinates and those sailors, there are seven or eight Qing guests, seven or eight martial artists. Besides, there is no one. ”

Guo Tianhong nodded, waved his hand to let him step down, and then said to everyone: "Everyone, the news from the capital Chang'an, the new emperor ascended the throne, this salt patrol imperial history is the first foreign official he arranged, and the previous salt patrol imperial history will burn three fires as soon as he takes office, and he also brought seven or eight warriors with him, in my opinion, I am afraid that it is not known if it is the royal family." Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any opinions?"

The dozen or so people present were all leading figures of Huai businessmen, and although they had a lot of business, they had a large sum of money, which was smuggling official salt.

According to their experience, every term of the salt inspector will toss around, and the target of their attack is usually not the wealthy Yangzhou salt merchants, but the merchants who rely on coolies to smuggle official salt.

Among them, both the Cao Gang and the Salt Gang will be hit.

Someone immediately said: "President, I have inquired below, this Lin Ruhai is a former detective, talented, and has served as a doctor in Lantai Temple, maybe he is not popular......

"Lao Zhang, can you say this? How can a person who can explore flowers in high school really only read?"

Someone immediately interrupted him.

"Yes, this Lin Ruhai has been a prince for generations, and now he has been promoted to a high-ranking official by the emperor, how can he not show his ambitions?

"This is too bastard! Those Yangzhou salt rats are worth tens of millions, but this salt patrol imperial history only stares at us bitterly haha, it's just too deceitful. ”

"Yes! It's clearly a soft pinch of persimmons. ”

"President, what do you say we should do?"

A dozen people began to discuss it.

It's about their money bags, how can they not care?

Guo Tianhong watched them quarrel for a long time, and finally moved his eyes to him, and couldn't help but smile: "Everyone, I have a solution." ”

"President, please speak. ”

"President, we listen to you!"

"President, do what you say!"

"Very good, everyone listen to me, then gather the ships tomorrow, and I will give this new salt patrol on the spot! Let them know that I am not easy to mess with!"

Guo Tianhong sneered.

Under the candlelight, his face was particularly hideous.
