The sky was clear, and there were more than a dozen maids waiting in each room, standing under the pedestal outside the flower hall.

Seeing Jin Nian coming from the flower hall, one of the maids walked towards her and said with a smile: "Miss Sixth is fine, why did you come out, but you can't sing well?" ”

is different from the Gebu green shirt that the maids in the house are used to wearing, she wears a brocade jacket with green lotus flowers, and her eyebrows and eyes are very delicate. Jin Nian immediately recognized her as the maid next to the Zhang family, who seemed to be named Qiu Ju?

Jin Nian smiled, and had to say that it was hot and he wanted to go back to the room to change clothes.

Lanyue Pavilion is on the edge of the lake at the other end of the water pavilion, the master and servant walked along the willow-shaded road by the lake, the weather was a little hot, just walked most of the way, Jin Nian was sweating on his forehead.

Seeing this, Yingge complained: "Where is the eldest prince not good? I had to choose there, and I went around half the lake in vain. "This lake was originally a small river, and the river flowed into the Qinhuai River through the northwest corner, and then flowed into the Qinhuai River through the back mountain. Later, the old lady expanded the mansion and widened the river into a lake, and the lake stretched from the northwest corner to the back mountain.

Yingge's words fell, and a tall figure suddenly came out from behind a big willow tree on the side of the road: "Sixth Miss forgive your sins, it is Grandpa Guo who asks Miss to talk about it." I had to ask you out in the name of the eldest son. ”

Zhan Feng is also very helpless, they are not familiar with Su Mansion, and Grandpa Guo said that he should just choose where there are few people.

Jin Nian was startled, what did Li Lie say to her...... She immediately thought of Du Juan and went to Zhanfeng to inquire about her father's transfer.

But what does it have to do with it?

Zhan Feng saw her hesitation, so he said, "Let's go, I'll show you the way!" Without waiting for Jin Nian to respond, he turned around and walked forward.

Jin Nian frowned, this master and servant are really alike, they are used to others listening to their orders, and they don't care if others want to or not.

Except for her father's business, Jin Nian couldn't think of anything else Li Lie wanted to find her.

A few people walked for another half an hour, and through the shade of the willows, the Lanyue Pavilion appeared in front of them.

Jin Nian could see Li Lie's tall figure in the pavilion at a glance, he was wearing a stone-carved green Fang Sheng Hui pattern robe, and he looked at the lake calmly with his hands behind his back. Not far from the lake, two white geese floated on the water, their heads resting motionless on their backs.

She asked Yingge to wait outside the pavilion and stepped into the pavilion herself.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Li Lie turned around and said lightly, "You're here." ”

Jin Nian stopped and shouted, "Grandpa Guo." ”

Li Lie snorted, and suddenly didn't know what to say next. Talking about her father directly? Won't it seem too rushed?

He has always had something to say, but today somehow he has become hesitant.

Jin Nian frowned, didn't he find himself to have something to say, why did he keep looking at the lake without saying a word?

She followed Li Lie's gaze and saw that the pair of white geese in the lake were spreading their wings and playing with each other, making a large white splash.

Jin Nian asked, "I don't know what Grandpa Guo is looking for me?" "It's not like asking her to come and see the white goose splashing.

Seeing her ask, Li Lie subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief: "Master Su's business, you ...... Don't worry. ”

There are two Lord Su in the house, and the Lord Su that everyone talks about on weekdays must refer to her eldest uncle who has entered the cabinet, but this time Jin Nian knows that Li Lie is talking about her father. Love

Jin Nian said with a smile: "Grandpa Xie Guo has a good word. "But didn't Zhan Feng say that he would be able to check Huai'an's side in a month or two, and now Li Lie said this, was he purely comforting her?

Without waiting for Li Lie to speak again, Jin Nian asked: "Grandpa Guo has found out, is my father almost nothing to do with the salt industry?" "Instead of speculating privately, it's better to simply ask.

When Li Lie heard this, he knew that what Zhan Feng told Du Juan misled her.

It's not a big deal to be honest with her.

He snorted, turned to look at Jin Nian and said: "I have checked the account books of the salt industry over there in Huai'an Mansion, Ling Zun's responsibilities are mostly in water conservancy farmland, and he is not deeply involved in the salt industry, even if he does, he only occasionally urges the salt tax of salt merchants for the prefect, but the accounts are also innocent." ”

Jin Nian pursed her lips and smiled, she knew these things in her previous life, her father had never done anything corrupt and bent the law during his tenure in Huai'an, so he was transferred back to Yangzhou to become the prefect, and then he was framed.

However, Li Lie specially came to her to say this, and Jin Nian was quite surprised. He was so busy, he heard that the salt officials and salt merchants were playing Tai Chi and dealing with him.

There was a marble table and four stone benches in the gazebo, and her feet were a little sore after walking such a long way. But Li Lie was still standing, and Jin Nian was embarrassed to sit down.

She bowed down and thanked Li Lie, and asked him again: "I heard that the performance appraisal of the two Huai officials is in the hands of the grandfather of the country, I don't know if my father may be evaluated?" "Performance appraisal is closely related to transfer, and those who can be evaluated are rarely promoted, and she is very worried that her father will be transferred to Yangzhou like in his previous life.

Li Lie realized that when she thanked her and got up, her upper body shook a little, which was due to the instability of the lower plate. There was still a thin layer of fine sweat on her forehead, and it seemed that the flush on both cheeks had not yet dissipated because of the haste of walking.

Li Lie's brows furrowed slightly, he lifted his robe and sat down at the table, and then pointed to the stone bench opposite and motioned for Jin Nian to sit down as well.

This frame seems to be the appearance of a long talk?

Jin Nian sat down with him.

Li Lie looked at her silently for a long time before he said, "Do you want Ling Zun to return to Yangzhou?" "The performance appraisal of officials has always been evaluated by the Ministry of Officials and the Inspectorate, but this time the situation is special, and the performance appraisal of officials above two Huai and five grades is indeed written by him to the heavens, and recently it was decided by the emperor himself. The five grades below are still assessed by the Ministry of Officials and the Inspectorate.

Jin Nian was stunned for a moment, Li Lie thought she wanted her father to go back to Yangzhou?

Isn't that a big misunderstanding!

She hurriedly shook her head again and again: "You also know that the relationship between Yangzhou officialdom is complicated, and my father has always been not good at taking care of officialdom. He once told me that he just wanted to repay the emperor's favor by seeking benefits for the people with peace of mind, and he didn't want to be trapped in the interests of officialdom all day long. ”

"My father has been managing rivers in Huai'an for several years, and he has also accumulated some experience. When I heard that there were frequent floods in Jingzhou, my father often told me that if he had the opportunity, he would want to go there to show his ambitions. Jin Nian said frankly to Li Lie, "If possible, please ask Grandpa Guo to help my father." ”

Although Gu Yanyi said that she would help her, there has been no news for a long time.

Now that the opportunity is rare, Li Lie, the true Buddha, is sitting in front of her, and she has no reason to seek the near and far.

What if Li Lie really agrees to help her?!

After Li Lie heard what Jin Nian said, he was secretly taken aback in his heart. She is a weak woman in the boudoir, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she talked to him about the court situation, and frankly asked him for help.

Is this what Su San meant, or is it her own meaning?

But no matter who she means, she is quite bold, such a person, no matter how weak she looks on the outside, has a tenacity in her heart.

The wind was blowing from the surface of the lake, and the green palace silk she tied was also swaying up and down with the wind, left and right, and the good aroma on her body was wafting towards him as if nothing.
