In a box in the Zhuangyuan Building, Lin Jin and Wu Jiugong sat opposite each other, and the table was full of the restaurant's specialty dishes.

Wu Jiugong looked at the delicacies of the mountains and seas that had been cooked on the table, and said with a smile: "It's rare, it's really rare, if I'm not mistaken, we've known each other for so many years, as if this is the first time you've invited me to dinner." It stands to reason that I should be deeply honored, but I always feel that there is no good feast, so if you don't explain your intentions, I will not feel at ease eating this meal. ”

Lin Jin glanced at him angrily and explained: "In the past, we were both in Yangzhou, if we wanted to meet, we could meet as soon as we raised our feet, and there was no need to invite you to dinner." Isn't it, you're going to Luzon in three days, and it's going to take three or five months, so I'm going to invite you to dinner and eat for you. ”

Wu Jiugong nodded, put his mind at ease, and asked again before picking up the chopsticks and preparing to eat: "By the way, I will go to Luzon this time, do you want to go with me?" Actually, I think you should go with me, after all, this three-year plan for the development of Luzon was formulated by you, although I listened to your explanation, but after all, it is not as good as you, and after you went over in person, I saw that there was something in Luzon that did not cooperate well with the plan you made, and I needed to adjust it, and I made a move, which is definitely not as good as you. ”

Lin Jin smiled, shook his head and said: "It's not that you don't know that I can't go out of Yangzhou, why bother with this lip and tongue, what's more, I still have to prepare for next year's imperial examination, where is there any idle time." ”

Next year's imperial examination is just in time for the triennial college examination, so after she finishes the county examination and the government examination, she can directly take the college examination, as long as a year's hard work can test the fame of Xiucai, if she misses it, unless she waits for the next three years, otherwise, even if she has passed the county examination and the government examination, the college examination is once every three years, and she must wait until the college examination is open before she can take the exam.

If she goes into battle by herself, it doesn't matter how long she waits, but she is going to cheat, and it is not easy to find Liu Xianglian, a suitable candidate for the exam, miss this year, and wait for another three years, at that time, Liu Xianglian may not be suitable. Although, when Liu Xianglian played as an adult, she played the role of Dan, but the makeup was heavy and colorful, and it could not be used in reality.

Moreover, girls develop earlier than boys, so now, she and Liu Xianglian are about the same size, but after a few years, the other party is taller than her, even if she participates in the imperial examination, there is no portrait, but a single text description, a height will be exposed. Moreover, in order to be her substitute examiner, Liu Xianglian not only had to wear women's clothes for more than a year, but also almost stayed at home during this period, so he couldn't let him pretend to be a woman who had been locked up at home for three years. This pays a bit too much.

Wu Jiugong said that, but in fact, he didn't have much hope. Because he knows that because of the scarcity of heirs, the Lin family regards every child as an eyeball, don't look at Lin Ruhai's knees There are currently two sons, but Lin Jin is the eldest son of the Lin family, and he will inherit the Lin family in the future, and his status is different. Therefore, except for Lin Jin sneaking out, otherwise, the Lin family would never let her go far away.

……

Just when Wu Jiugong and Lin Jin were feasting, Zhuangyuan Building ushered in two guests who made the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper mutter.

As the shopkeeper of a restaurant, he doesn't know how many guests he has to receive every day, and in order not to offend people and not cause trouble to his master, they inevitably have to practice a pair of eyesight.

The two guests who came today were dressed very ordinarily, and it seemed that their family background seemed to be a little spare money, but the momentum of the two of them was not only different, but also suspicious in their dress.

The young one at the front, although the boots on his feet were not official boots, were exquisitely made, very rare, and the materials used seemed to be extraordinary; The clothes and shoes of the one who followed behind were very ordinary, but the folding fan in his hand showed flaws, which seemed to be ordinary, but it was actually a tribute, and his own master had one, which was regarded as a treasure, but in terms of quality, it was not comparable to the one in the other party's hand. The few family members who followed behind him looked very imposing, and they didn't look like ordinary people.

Although the private interview of Weifu is more in the play, in reality, it is not that such things have happened. After carefully looking at the two personal outfits, the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper couldn't help but secretly think about the identities of the two in their hearts.

It was precisely because he was not sure about the identities of the two masters who started that when they asked for a private room, the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper who had already booked out the box did not refuse at the first time, but hesitated.

At this moment, a family member behind him took a few steps forward, walked up to the slightly older master, whispered a few words in his ear, and then the man looked upstairs and said, "Arrange us in the box next to Master Lin's house in Yanjiao." ”

The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper were stunned when they heard this, and they quickly reacted. The shopkeeper said with a smiling face: "Guest officer, you make me embarrassed, don't you?" This matter can't be ......" The following words were silenced in front of the things taken out by the housekeeper who was talking to the master just now, and pushed the shopkeeper who was standing on the side: "Hurry up, hurry up and take a few guests to the box." ”

The shopkeeper took the guest upstairs and led him into the box, and after being dismissed, he came to the front of the shopkeeper and said in a low voice: "The shopkeeper, although there is a wall between the boxes, but this wall is not too thick, and with some means, you may be able to overhear the conversation of the box next door." These guests don't look like good stubble, and it would be bad if they didn't have good intentions towards Lin Gongzi. And if this matter spreads, it will also affect the reputation of our restaurant. ”

The shopkeeper looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he reached out and touched a handful of sweat, and whispered: "I don't want to, but the identities of these two guests are probably extraordinary." The person who looked like a family member behind them just took out the token of Jinyiwei. This brocade guard, you know, don't say that they just want the box next to Lin Gongzi, even if they want Lin Gongzi's room, or break the wall of the two boxes, I have to do it. ”

Hearing the three words Jin Yiwei, the shopkeeper suddenly lost his voice, thinking of Lin Jin, who had a kind personality and a generous shot, he secretly prayed in his heart: I hope this group of people has no ill intentions towards Lin Gongzi.

In fact, it was Emperor Zhengxi and King Fujun who asked Lin Jin for the box next door just now. And the reason why Emperor Zhengxi did this was because a few days ago, Lin Jin inadvertently saved Huang Ziyao. Although Lin Jin's main target at that time was not Yao'er, no matter what, Emperor Zhengxi still had to accept her love.

After Emperor Zhengxi knew Lin Jin's identity, he thought of coming to Yangzhou to investigate illegal salt this time, and wanted to use her to attract Lin Ruhai. At the beginning, his plan was that he would investigate privately, and King Fujun would investigate it openly, one bright and one dark, and the two lines would be carried out together. But after arriving in Yangzhou, I found that if the private salt is not official, it will take only a private investigation to find out the ugly people, and the time it takes is definitely not what they can do when they go to the south of the Yangtze River. In fact, it was not only Emperor Zhengxi who was secretly blocked from investigating, but even King Fujun's side, so they decided to choose an official to help them investigate, and Lin Ruhai was in their eyes because of Lin Jin.

In fact, Lin Jin would save Yao'er, which was completely accidental, because she originally intended to save Hongluo's daughter. A while ago, Hongluo sent a letter to Mama Tao, begging Mama Tao to help her. After Mama Tao told Lin Jin about this, Lin Jin sent Wang You to deal with the matter.

According to Lin Jin's meaning, Hongluo took her daughter and divorced her husband who had a tendency to domestic violence, but Hongluo didn't think so, she still wanted to live with him, so she just let Wang You threaten her husband. After that, her husband didn't beat her much, but he sold Hongluo's daughter with a vicious anger in his heart.

Hongluo learned that his daughter was sold, so he hurriedly came to the door with the money and wanted to redeem it, but as a result, it was unfortunate that it was sold again, and it was not sold locally in Yangzhou, but to the boat on the canal. In desperation, Hongluo could only ask the Lin family again, although Lin Jin was angry with Hongluo, but took pity on her daughter, and helped her again, and rescued the abducted prince Yao when she came out.
