He Yan and Yu Xin walked around Yangzhou City for an afternoon, had dinner, and returned to Lin Mansion after dark.

He Yan changed his clothes after he went back, and suddenly remembered the gift that the Xue family gave him, so he hurriedly took it and opened it, and was immediately blinded by the golden light inside.

What the Xue family gave turned out to be a golden abacus, which was about the same width as an ordinary abacus, but three times as long as an ordinary abacus.

He Yan took it out and checked it, that amount was definitely solid!

He Yan has liked arithmetic since he was a child, and he likes to plan plates, but although his family is not short of money, he has no money to the point where he can use gold to plan plates.

Later, although he was the champion, he was the champion of arithmetic, and he was completely incomparable with the champion of the imperial examination.

Although he has climbed fast in the past few years, he really can't say anything in the household department, although someone will send a snack cloth, but he has never received a serious "bribe".

This was the first time he had received something so expensive and "heavy".

He Yan thought about it, and couldn't help but hold the abacus back and forth in his hand, it was really heavy!

He Yan checked it for a long time, and then found an arithmetic problem at random, dialed the abacus for a long time, and the fingers that were straight to the point were sour and soft, and he couldn't put it down and stroked it for a long time, and then he held the abacus and wanted to put it back in the box.

As soon as he put it down, he found that there was still a sachet in the box.

It was the light of the golden abacus that almost blinded him, and he didn't see it just now.

He hurriedly took out the bag and opened it, and inside it turned out to be an abacus the size of a palm.

It's also gold, pure gold and solid like the big abacus!

He flicked it with his hand and found that it worked.

He took out the arithmetic problem just now to calculate, and found that he was just not very adaptable, and after practicing a few more times, this small abacus can definitely be used to calculate some less complicated accounts.

The point is that it's small and cute enough to be worn around your waist and carried around.

He Yan couldn't help but be amazed, no wonder everyone rushed to go to Jiangnan.

This trip is only less than a month, and it will be worth his life!

He Yan couldn't put it down for a long time, still put the sachet in, then tied the sachet around his waist, put away the big abacus, and got up to find Yu Xin.

Yu Xin was leaning back in a chair and reading a book, with a pot of Ganoderma lucidum in his hand.

Yes, a pot!

Ganoderma lucidum, He Yan has seen it, but what he saw are all sun-dried Ganoderma lucidum in the medicinal herb shop.

This is the first time I've seen it alive.

I couldn't help but feel the novelty, and when I got closer to watch, I saw that the Ganoderma lucidum was as big as a folding fan, and it was fragrant, and it must be worth a lot of money, so I couldn't help asking, "The Xue family sent it?" ”

Yu Xin responded, and He Yan laughed loudly, "This Xue family is really good at being a person, not to mention the preciousness of this gift, it is also sent directly to people's hearts!" ”

Yu Xin glanced at Ganoderma lucidum, her beautiful eyes flashed, but there was a bit of sadness in it.

He Yan couldn't help but wonder, "You don't like it?" ”

Yu Xin shook his head, and He Yan snorted, "That's right, who in Beijing doesn't know that you like some strange flowers and spiritual grasses, you are in full swing now, who doesn't stutter to send you?"

Although this living Ganoderma lucidum is rare, you are not rare."

Yu Xin wanted to say, I'm not rare, it's not because of what you said, but I didn't move my lips, I just continued to read his book.

He Yan pouted, "You are so strange, obviously everyone outside says that you don't learn and don't know how to do it, you only use force to favor the king and oppress the people, but you actually like to read books very much."

I have seen you ten times, but you have been reading books eight times, and the other two times, you are running errands for the emperor! ”

Yu Xin ignored him, He Yan muttered a few more words, looked at the book placed next to Yu Xin, and also took a copy and read it.

He can naturally go back to the room to see, but he doesn't know why, he just likes to be around Yu Xin......

……

……

He Yan and Yu Xin stayed in Yangzhou for three days, but they just waited for the emperor's approval to allow Lin Ruhai to go to Beijing at the end of the year to report on his work.

Lin Ruhai was overjoyed, and when he said goodbye to He Yan and the two, he prepared a lot of Jiangnan specialties for the two, and gave each of them a box, and said earnestly, "Lin has spent half his life in Jiangnan, it was a matter of loyalty to the king, and he shouldn't complain, but now that he is getting older and sick, he is really embarrassed and heavy."

Moreover, Lin has only one daughter who is more than half a hundred years old, and now she is raised in her grandfather's house, Lin really misses it unbearable, but forgets to transfer to the capital as soon as possible, and hopes that the two adults can say a few good words for Lin when they return to Beijing to meet the emperor.

These books are a heart-to-heart expression, and I hope the two adults will not dislike them."

He Yan saw that Yu Xin still didn't mean to speak, so he couldn't help but say a few polite words.

Several people were polite, and a carriage arrived in a hurry, and it was Xue Shen who was sitting on the car.

After the coachman stopped the carriage and horses, Xue Shen opened the curtain, and a man of about forty got out of the car first, and then Xue Pan.

He Yan knew Xue Shen, and when he saw Xue Pan's age and clothing, he knew that it must be the uncle of the Xue family, so he couldn't help but look up and down.

Xue Pan really looked like he was recovering from his illness, describing himself as thin, haggard, his eyes were slightly red and swollen, and he kept hanging his eyes, not daring to look at people.

He Yan felt slightly strange, the uncle of the Xue family is said to be the most overlord, why does he look like a little daughter-in-law?

The two sides have seen each other, Xue Pan has the strength to salute and said, "Xue heard that the two adults are going back to Beijing, so he came to see them off, prepared some clay instruments, and gave them to the two adults to taste, and I hope the two adults will not dislike it."

He Yan was polite again and again, and Xue Shen ordered the boxes of clay instruments to be moved to the ship.

When they were polite, Yu Xin suddenly stared coldly in the direction of the Xue family's carriage.

In the car, Xue Baobao, who was drooling on the handsome face of the legendary poppy, covered his mouth and closed his eyes suddenly, wiping, he definitely found it!

Obviously, she didn't even dare to stare at him!

She is just a good sister who is not worried about her stupid brother, accompanying her brother to deliver a letter to Lord Qincha, and asking the coachman to park at a good angle so that she can observe the scene in real time!

Obviously, she was already very restrained, although she looked at him, she also looked at that Master He, and also looked at Aunt Lin and stupid brother!

Obviously, she tried her best to find a piece of silk cloth that could be seen from the inside and could not be seen from the outside to make a car curtain, but he still found it!

Xue Baobao was so frightened that he didn't dare to look at it anymore, Lin Ruhai over there didn't notice Yu Xin's abnormality at all, seeing that they were properly settled, he arched his hand and said, "It's not too early, Lin and the others won't delay the trip of the two adults, and the two adults will have a smooth journey."

He Yan had been paying attention to Yu Xin, followed his gaze at the Xue family's carriage, glanced at Yu Xin with a smile, and saluted goodbye.

After the two got on the boat, He Yan saw that Yu Xin did not return to the cabin, and stood on the bow of the boat to see the scenery on both sides of the strait, so he also stood with him.

When Lin Ruhai and the others couldn't see it, they couldn't help but check the box in their hands, "Lord Lin was a first-class tanhua back then, and he must like to toss some rare books."

At this time, for the sake of my daughter, I even gave us the things I love."

As he spoke, he opened the box, and sure enough, he saw an extremely difficult ancient book on the top, so he couldn't help but sigh and went to turn the book below.

I don't want to just pick up that book and show a white silver ticket.

He was stunned for a moment, and continued to flip down unbelievingly, and it turned out to be all silver tickets!

He hurriedly took out and counted, one thousand taels and one sheets, a full thirty!

Lin Ruhai gave him 30,000 taels of silver!

He Yan quickly calculated the total amount of all the money he had earned after winning the top prize, and almost burst into tears, "Lord Lin and the Xue family are definitely full of sincerity, so I'm embarrassed if I don't say good things for them."

No wonder they all say that Jiangnan is rich, plus the two gold abacus sent by the Xue family, this trip is enough for him to work in the household for two lifetimes!

"Quick! Look at how much you put in there."

Yu Xin glanced at him, "If you can take power in the future, you will definitely be a corrupt official."

He Yan, "...... You are a brocade guard who receives gifts and knows what you like in the whole capital, and you are embarrassed to say that I am a corrupt official? ”

Yu Xin sneered, "At least I won't accept people like you."

He Yan-for-tat, "In other words, you don't just accept gifts?" ”

"I only do what I have to do, and it has nothing to do with whether I receive gifts or not."

He Yan laughed angrily at him, "So, you are much more noble than me."

I only ask you, after you go back, how are you going to talk to the emperor about the Xue family, and will you help Lord Lin say good things? ”

"The Xue family offers all their belongings, and all they ask for is the emperor's protection and a false title, so why should I destroy it if it is beneficial to the country and the emperor?

Lord Lin would rather give up the salt luck that everyone wants to take a bite of, and also enter Beijing, just to be able to accompany his daughter, why can't I be perfect? ”

He Yan sneered, "Speaking noblely, isn't it soft?" ”

Yu Xin turned the box in his hand, "The Xue family and Lord Lin are both able to make a big choice, why not make a good relationship with such a person?" ”

He Yan looked him up and down in surprise, "You still want to have a good relationship with others, I thought you Jinyi Wei were all mad dogs that bite people when you see them!" ”

Yu Xin was not angry, only curled his lips and smiled, "Lord He, do you believe that my mad dog will kick you into the water now?" ”

He Yan hurriedly waved his hand and stepped back, laughing dryly, "Xinxin, I'm just joking, just kidding!" ”

Yu Xin didn't bother to pay attention to him, took the box and turned around to the cabin, without looking, he also knew that in addition to the different titles of the lone book, there must be 30,000 taels in it.

Even if Lin Ruhai thought that he was better than He Yan in front of the emperor, he would never give him more silver, which offended He Yan in vain......

Lin Ruhai watched Yu Xin's boat disappear from view before he began to walk back, and Xue Baobao dared to get out of the car to salute at this time.

Lin Ruhai saw that she was also in the car, and knew that she must not be worried that Xue Pan would come alone, so he didn't say much, and asked, "This is the matter, when are Uncle Xue and the girl going back to Jinling?"

Xue Pan wanted to speak, but obediently shut up under Xue Baobao's gaze.

In the past few days, except for a little gruel and medicinal juice, Xue Baobao didn't give him anything, but those minions listened to Xue Baobao, he couldn't resist at all, he was really hungry!

Xue Baobao said with a smile, "My brother and I are very fond of the prosperity of Yangzhou, but we are not in a hurry to go back."

Xue Pan was indignant, Yangzhou was prosperous, he didn't see it, he was locked up in the house to copy books, zama steps, and practice boxing!

Even the Yangzhou food that Xue Baobao made and bought every day, he didn't eat it!

Lin Ruhai said, "I pleaded with the emperor, hoping to go to Beijing to report on my work, the emperor has agreed, and when I arrange the affairs here, I will leave for Beijing."

Xue Baobao was stunned, this matter is not in the original book, it seems that Lin Qixian was stimulated by his words that day, and tried every means to go to Beijing to see his daughter in person!

Xue Baobao didn't know much about officialdom, so he said a few polite words, "Uncle don't worry, we will go back to Jinling before my uncle leaves, so as not to worry my mother."

Mrs. Xue will let her and Xue Pan come to Yangzhou, a big reason is that Lin Ruhai is in Yangzhou, how to say that he is also a relative, and he can take care of a few points.

Now that Lin Ruhai is going to Beijing, they want to continue to stay in Yangzhou, and Mrs. Xue must be worried.

She was originally going to stay for a while longer and "train and train" Xue Pan well, but now she naturally can't.

Lin Ruhai also meant this, seeing that she was sensible, she was very pleased, and said a few more words, but they went back without mentioning it.
