On the same day, after the deliberations of the celebrant and the supervisor ended, he took the initiative to play Zhu Houzhao to hand over the tax supervision department to the inner factory.

After Jiang Ning received the news, he couldn't help but be suspicious.

He didn't think this group of eunuchs would be so kind.

Sure enough, something happened the next day.

The eunuchs of the three major towns of Nanzhili, Suzhou and Hangzhou were reported to be greedy for ink and tax silver, and the court was shaken.

Zhu Houzhao was even more furious, and immediately sent Jiang Ning, the superintendent of the inner factory, as a messenger, to go to Jiangnan to investigate the case.

Jiang Ning was ordered by the emperor, and after leaving the palace, he hurriedly sent people to convene a group of high-level discussions in the inner factory.

Nearly two hours later, Zhang He, who was in charge of the execution, took a fast horse and went to the south of the Yangtze River first.

Jiang Ning, on the other hand, took hundreds of pro-troops and decided to take a boat along the canal to Suzhou and Hangzhou slowly.

When he got home, it was dinner time, and he told the girls about it.

Li Yun'er, Su Luoxian and Lu Qingming were all worried.

But they also understood that the stakes were high, and Jiang Ning couldn't get out of it no matter what, so they had to repeatedly tell everything to be careful.

At this time, Zheng Fangrui, who was waiting on the side, suddenly said:

"Master, this time when you go to Jiangnan, ask the slave and maid to accompany you.

As soon as I came, I had a good response around me.

Second, the old man's decoction and acupuncture conditioning are the most critical time, and they must not be interrupted. ”

Li Yun'er heard this, and hurriedly said:

"Yes, Xianggong, Sister Fang Rui is not unreasonable, you are alone, there are some stout men around you, no one takes care of you, I don't worry."

"Okay, that's it."

Jiang Ning patted Li Yun'er's soft twing.

He knew that the two girls were worried about curing the symptoms of infertility, so he made this request.

What's more, he himself is also very concerned about this, how can it not be reasonable.

It's just that Su Luoxian and Lu Qingming don't know the inside story.

Seeing that Zheng Fangrui could accompany Jiang Ning alone in the next few months, although she understood, she inevitably felt a little sour.

Lu Qingming even directly deflated her mouth.

Jiang Ning took her into his arms funny, put her on his lap and sat down, gently pinched her soft face and smiled:

"Okay, okay, when the master comes back, can I bring you some Jiangnan specialties?"

"Then don't forget it, otherwise the concubine will not be able to follow."

Jiang Ning laughed and patted Jiao Niang's back buttocks.

provoked a burst of rolling eyes and shyness.

Three days later.

After the internal factory purchased all the ship materials, Jiang Ning said goodbye to the three beautiful flowers, took Zheng Fangrui on the official ship, and went downstream.

There were also two other large ships in which the pro-army was escorted by one on the left and one on the right.

All the ships they encountered on the way gave way.

It's a lot of momentum.

It is worth mentioning that when he went south this time, the family of the Chengguo Mansion took the initiative to come to the door, hoping to use the ship to carry goods and go to the south to do business.

So Jiang Ning thought that most of the nobles were doing business in secret.

He immediately sent an invitation to all the nobles in Beijing, hinting that he could help deliver the goods.

And said that the carriage and horse shops in the inner factory can also be facilitated.

As soon as this news came out, the nobles flocked to it.

As a result, the binding of the interests of Jiangning and the Ming Dynasty was preliminarily completed.

It was a bonus.

Seven or eight days later.

Jiangning has reached the boundary of Shandong by boat.

He stood on the deck, looking at the vast river scenery in front of him, quite full of ambition.

"Master, it's windy outside, so let's put on this cloak."

Zheng Fangrui walked out of the cabin, and when she came to Jiang Ning, she was about to tie the cloak to him.

Very sweet.

Jiang Ning smiled and opened his arms, letting this temperamental servant serve.

The two were alone on the boat for a while, and their relationship was much closer than before.

Even Zheng Fangrui, who has always been solemn, can make jokes about him.

At this moment, the official ship seemed to have been hit by something and shook a few times.

"Ahh

Under the bumps, Zheng Fangrui staggered and did not stand firm, and after a coquettish snort, she actually threw herself directly into Jiang Ning's arms.

"Protect your lordship!"

Dozens of inner factory fans suddenly rushed out and drew their knives to protect Jiang Ning's side.

Fortunately, the ship quickly stabilized.

Zheng Fangrui found herself in her situation, and noticed that Jiang Ning's hand was inadvertently on her waist, and quickly let go and took a few steps back.

"The slave and maid collided with the master, and asked the master to forgive the sin."

While she coquettishly admitted her mistake, her pretty face couldn't stop crimson.

"What's this?"

Jiang Ning waved his hand, hiding the embarrassment in his eyes, and then looked at the crowd and said, "Go and see, what's going on." ”

A few fans received the order, and immediately rushed over to look under the boat.

But they saw a small boat collide with them.

He was about to open his mouth to scold, but he heard the boatman shout loudly:

"Zhang Tianshi, Zhang Tianshi, where are you!

Oops, but Mo fell into the river. ”

His voice was very loud, and Jiang Ning could hear it clearly.

And when he heard the "Zhang Tianshi" in the words, his heart moved, and he hurriedly ordered:

"Quick, hurry up and go down to the river to save people.

Then bring all the people in the boat to the boat. ”

In an instant, a few water-based fans jumped into the river.

After a while, a young man in a Taoist robe was rescued.

Jiang Ning fixed his eyes and saw that it was not that Zhang Tianshi.

It's just that at this time, he obviously drank too much river water and was in a coma.

"Quick, save people."

Just as Jiang Ning was ordering, a few people came from the small boat.

One of them saw the unconscious Zhang Tianshi, and hurriedly rushed over and said nervously:

"Brother, are you okay, brother!"

Xuan Yue patted Zhang Tianshi's face, and seeing that he didn't react, his little face was even more flustered.

And Jiang Ning heard her name, and then he knew that the two were brother and sister.

Xuan Yue noticed the gaze on her body, turned her head to look, and after finding that it was Jiang Ning, she shouted in a coquettish voice:

"Who am I, it turns out that you thief who steals food.

Hmph, if you are promoted, you will be great, and you can hit the ship at will?

If something happens to my brother, I can't spare you! ”

When Jiang Ning heard this, although he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, he didn't have time to take care of this Nizi and command Fanzi to continue to save people.

Xuan Yue saw that he didn't pay attention to himself, he felt ignored, his cute little face suddenly puffed up, and his two cheeks were like a small bun.

And after some scramble rescue, Zhang Tianshi finally woke up.

After understanding the situation, he hurriedly thanked Jiang Ning: "Thank you Lord Jiang for saving your life." ”

Xuan Yue said angrily on the side: "Brother, what do you thank him for, if he hadn't hit us, how would you have fallen into the water!" ”

"Don't be rude."

Zhang Tianshi glared, and then looked at Jiang Ning and said ashamedly:

"Actually, this is the sister, I have been spoiled by my father and me since I was a child, if there is a collision, please also invite the adult Haihan."

Jiang Ning shook his head with a smile, and asked again, "How can Zhang Tianshi be here?" ”

"I was in Beijing for a few months, and when I was about to return to Longhu Mountain, I was invited by Gu Hexian, a wealthy man in Suzhou, to go to Suzhou to pray for his old lady.

Only then did he take Xuanyue south.

Unfortunately, I met Master Jiang. ”

Zhang Tianshi pointed to a middle-aged man standing on the side.

"I see."

Jiang Ning suddenly said apologetically: "I'm afraid that I will damage the ship of the Heavenly Master, if I don't give up, I will take Jiang's boat together, how about going to Jiangnan?" ”

"That's the best."

Zhang Tianshi gladly accepted.

The two were talking happily, but they never found that Xuan Yue was standing on the side, still puffing up.

More than ten days later, Songjiang Wharf.

The three official ships slowly docked.

At this time, it was getting late, so Jiang Ning took Zheng Fangrui and invited Zhang Tianshi to get off the boat and have dinner by the way.

I wanted to call Xuanyue together, but I heard Zhang Tianshi say that she was unwell, so she gave up.

However, there is also the Gu Mansion's housekeeper Guo as a companion.

A few people got off the boat and found an elegant restaurant to sit down.

Steward Guo knew Jiang Ning's identity, so he said diligently on the side:

"Master Jiang, Zhang Tianshi, at this time, the crab is the fattest, please taste it."

Jiang Ning nodded, and was about to pick up a crab, but saw Zheng Fangrui snatch it directly.

I saw that she carefully dug up the crab, and after some skillful operation, she flicked it with chopsticks, and the fat, white and tender crab meat with yellow was all on the Jiangning plate.

"Master, for such a trivial matter, it would be good for the slave and maid to come."

Zheng Fangrui said with a light smile.

Jiang Ning immediately picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, slowly closed his eyes, and tasted the taste.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Tianshi, who was on the other side, couldn't help but smile and said:

"Master Jiang is so blessed, there is good wine, food, beautiful scenery, and beauties, accompanied by four beauties, and he is happy like a fairy."
