Jinling.

After crossing the Jiangdong Bridge, entering the outer city from the Jiangdong Gate, the forbidden army accompanying the car looked around. Li Weijian gets along with the forbidden army day and night, and now he is familiar with it, so he said to the forbidden army: "Geng Tong, what do you see?" ”

Geng Tong said hesitantly: "My lord, it is said that Qinhuai is the most prosperous in Jinling, and I heard that it is near ...... left here."

Li Weijian was happy and said: "It's still far away, my old house is on the shore of Mochou Lake, and Mochou Lake is connected to the Qinhuai River." ”

The other forbidden army behind him took two quick steps, and came up and slapped Geng Tong on the back of the head: "Do you kid want to see the Qin Huai River?" When I was in Yangzhou, I stared at the painting boat on Xiao Qinhuai, and I didn't bother to expose you! ”

Li Weijian said: "The brothers have worked hard with this official, and when they come to this Jinling, they must have a good life. Haining! ”

Wu Haining responded: "The master commanded." ”

Li Weijian instructed: "Hold a thousand taels of silver, and take the brothers of the forbidden army to be naughty...... Well, but the painting boat is gone, and I'm afraid a thousand taels is not enough. ”

There was laughter all around, and then an officer took the lead and shouted: "Xie Li Lang is rewarded!" ”

Li Weijian turned around and said to the man in his forties: "Second Brother Xin was happy last year, and the younger brother prepared a congratulatory gift, don't forget to take it back later." ”

This person is Li Shouzhong's second son, Li Xinming, in his early forties, who was detained by Li Shouzhong and is now teaching at Ganlu Academy.

Li Xinming retracted his envious gaze, looked at Li Weijian and said, "The fourth brother is too polite, this is not the first time for me——"

"Our brothers don't want to see each other, I heard Qingwen say, uncle and aunt have been in good shape recently?"

Li Xinming said: "My father is old, and it is difficult to change the seasons in autumn and winter. Now that it's summer, my body is about to be raised again...... A few days ago, I scolded my eldest brother, but I was full of anger. ”

Li Weijian suddenly burst out laughing. Brother Chong can be said to be a new sprout from an old tree, who would have thought that Brother Chong, who is like an uncle, would be constantly cutting and messing with the prostitutes on the Qinhuai River? For the sake of a prostitute, he would rather be beaten by his uncle and not say anything, and he is still making a fuss about divorce from his wife.

Sure enough, science is not a thing that people learn, save heavenly principles, destroy people's desires, and extremely suppress their own desires, just like a spring, the more depressed they are, the more crazy they will be when they rebound!

Brother Chong is proof of this, it's not the eldest aunt who turns around, I'm afraid that for the sake of a woman, Brother Chong, who is fifty, can leave his family and business.

After passing the east gate of the river, the car dealer turned into a trail and meandered along the east bank of Mochou Lake. At this time, it is the middle of May, the shore of Mochou Lake is shaded with green willows, tourists are weaving, the lake is full of blue lotuses, the painting boat is wandering, and there are faint prostitutes playing and singing.

Six Dynasties Fandel, this Jinling City seems to always be wafting with the smell of fat powder.

Turning around a nunnery, a garden jumped into view. The door guarding the door saw the frame of the car and hurriedly sent someone in to report it.

When they arrived at the door, Li Weijian and Li Xinming got out of the car, and the servants greeted the general with a smile: "Second master, fourth master!" ”

Li Weijian glanced at the old servant with a smile and said, "Lao Luo, are you getting richer?" ”

That old Luo squinted his eyes and bowed and said: "Thanks to the blessing of the fourth master, the little one eats well and sleeps soundly, won't he be blessed?" The second master and the fourth master are please, the master, the wife, and the two girls are waiting? ”

"Sister Wen'er and Sister Qi are also here?"

Li Xinming also said: "Mother has been looking forward to it early in the morning, and the fourth brother is not delayed, I will see my mother first." ”

A few people were talking, entered the house, turned the door of the inner instrument, and saw Yingying Yanyan clustered with more than 40 ladies waiting behind the door. It is the stepwife of Uncle Li Shouzhong, Liang!

The second brother, Li Xinming, hurriedly stepped forward to greet the etiquette: "Mother." ”

Li Weijian slandered in his heart, the age difference between the two was not much, and Li Weijian couldn't say it if he changed it. However, at this time, the etiquette is like this, and the second brother seems to be used to it.

The Liang family only bowed slightly, and a pair of apricot eyes stared straight at Li Weijian. Li Weijian had a smile on his face, and quickly stepped forward to the ground: "Nephew Li Weijian, I have seen the eldest aunt!" ”

Liang's eyes were red, he stepped forward and hugged Li Weijian, and said in a trembling voice: "Okay, good, Brother Jian is out!" ”

In the end, he has been raised by his side since he was a child, and the friendship is extraordinary.

The two cardamom girls behind him looked at Li Weijian happily, and at the same time greeted: "Fourth brother Jian!" ”

Li Weijian and the Liang family met, turned their heads to see the two girls, and said with a smile: "Sister Wen and Sister Qi are becoming more and more prominent." ”

Liang said: "The sun is shining at this time, don't talk here." Brother Jian'er has been tired of traveling and driving, this trip has walked from north to south, and I have seen your uncle and hurry up to rest for a while. ”

Li Weijian said with a smile: "The eldest aunt looks down on her nephew, don't say that this road is either by car or boat, or on foot, and the nephew can withstand it." ”

"Hun said, thousands or tens of thousands of miles of road, even if it is iron, it can't hold it, and it is not possible!" Liang snorted and couldn't understand his hatred, so he reached out and clicked Li Weijian's head, and then felt that something was wrong.

Brother Jian is now not only in the office, but also knighted, but he is not the monkey in the past, it is not good to poke Brother Jian'er's head with his finger again.

Just thinking about it, I saw Li Weijian smile and said: "The eldest aunt's famous stunt is a finger Zen, but the eldest sister has learned a full set. The nephew was in Beijing, and he was poked in the head by the eldest sister when he was not in the middle. ”

Liang suddenly ironed in his heart, thinking that no matter what knighthood Brother Jian'er had, it would always be the leather monkey who made people feel uneasy. Because he said angrily: "Brother Jian still said? Your big sister has a lot of complaints in her letters! Brother Jian is also knighted now, but it's not as naughty as before. ”

Li Qi echoed when he heard this: "That is, the fourth brother broke the mulberry tree the year before last, turned his head and wronged our sister for breaking it, which provoked my mother to beat it a lot!" ”

Li Weijian suddenly laughed and said, "That mulberry has entered the stomachs of the two of you, who will you hit if you don't beat it?" ”

The group waited to talk and laugh, and walked to the mansion with Liang and Li Weijian. After a short time, I entered the courtyard for the second time, and in a blink of an eye I arrived in front of the main house.

From afar, I saw an old man sitting in the middle, and I caught a glimpse of Li Weijian, the old man raised his hand to prop himself on the table, as if he wanted to get up, but he picked up the tea cup and drank a sip of tea slowly.

Li Weijian entered the inside, lifted his robe and knelt down: "Uncle, nephew Li Weijian is polite." ”

Li Shouzhong couldn't bear to be moved, said with a straight face, and said: "Your family doesn't need to be polite, let's get up." ”

Liang seemed to be catching up with menopause, and when he saw Li Shouzhong pretending like this, he immediately frowned.

After Li Weijian sat down, Li Shouzhong asked: "I was ordered to go south this time, how did the errand go?" ”

Li Weijian briefly talked about the sugar business and the cement business, the previous Li Shouzhong did not know, just because Guangzhou was too far away, but the cement business caused the Jiangnan to shake, and countless gentry ran for it, that is, the old house of the Li family has Jinling gentry who want to come to the door, just to buy some cement shares.

Mr. Li Shouzhong's general temperament is the most disdainful of KitKat's lewd skills, but this cement business is different. Building a stone pond saves most of the throwing fee, correcting the river channel, building a stone pond, not to mention the waterproofing, and the polder, which is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people.

Because Li Shouzhong is no longer waiting to see the real learning, this will also be honored. However, in front of his nephew, Li Shouzhong would not show it.

Li Weijian said these two things, and then said: "In two days, my nephew will go to Dangtu to see if he can set up an iron factory in the local area." ”

Li Shouzhong bowed slightly, and asked: "Lin Yansi has the grace of supporting you, have you ever visited Lin Yansi in Yangzhou this time?" ”

"Back to Uncle, I've seen it. Uncle Lin's situation is extremely bad, I'm afraid it's only been a few months. ”

Li Shouzhong frowned and said, "It's a pity......"

Lin Ruhai is going through the imperial examination to explore flowers, and he is worth the pavilion, but he is from a clear stream. Li Shouzhong has no contact with him, but he is naturally close. After sighing, Li Shouzhong turned around and said, "I can read the Di newspaper recently." ”

"Looked." Li Weijian stubbornly agreed, and secretly thought in his heart, he still had to mention his teacher in the end.

"Hmph, your teacher has done a lot of injustice, and this time he was sent to the prison, that is, he is now forgiving, and he will definitely be skinned and filled with grass in the previous dynasty! Brother Jian is so old, and there are people who don't know people. The old man still has a few old days in the court, and he turned back and wrote a letter to his brother to expose the deeds of this fang, thinking that it would be cut so as not to catch fire. ”

Li Weijian smiled and was silent. This is still the uncle who raised him, and Li Weijian has already passed it if he was someone else! What do you know, just cut? Besides, he has already worshiped the teacher, and this time he will turn his face again, how will the world see him Li Weijian?

Liang saw the discomfort on Li Weijian's face, so he frowned and persuaded: "Master, Brother Jian has just come back, why don't you let him rest for a while?" ”

Li Shouzhong didn't say anything, and said: "And that Jia Lian, since he hit Jinling, he sleeps in flowers and willows every day, which is really not the same." I heard that you were friendly with him? The children of such a gentleman's family still don't want to interact in the future. ”

Li Weijian sighed secretly in his heart, no wonder the sage doesn't wait to see the uncle, this kind of Taoist gentleman who eats the ancient and has no political wisdom at all, is really useless to the country and the people.

Li Weijian only responded, and Li Shouzhong said: "That's it, let's talk about it later, you can go down and put it in place first." ”

Liang hurriedly said: "Brother Jian'er's yard, there are people sprinkling and sweeping it every day. It's also a coincidence, your maid Xiuying said yesterday that she would go to her relatives, and she would not come back until tomorrow. Brother Ming, you take Brother Jian to settle down, and I will say a few words to the master. ”

Li Xinming got up and led Li Weijian to go out, but Li Wen and Li Qi followed him silently, and the group went out of the main room and went to the side courtyard without mentioning it.

When they left, Liang's face suddenly lost his smile, and he turned his head and said angrily:

"Old thing! Brother Frugal is like his own child, who are you pretending to show to whom? ”

Li Shouzhong instantly broke the gong: "You...... Unreasonable! ”

"Am I unreasonable?" Liang took two steps forward and said aggressively: "I asked Xiuying's girl, why did Brother Jian have the patience to befriend that Jia Lian?" Jia Lian's daughter-in-law is now in charge of Rongguo Mansion, and Brother Jian is good friends with these two, isn't it just that these two people can take care of your daughter? ”

Li Shouzhong blinked, and was speechless for a moment. He had read all his life, and he never knew these twists and turns. Although he couldn't hold his face, he still snorted coldly: "Fly camp dog! ”

"Phew! You are above board, when your daughter was bullied, what else did you do besides beating her chest? ”

Li Shouzhong's old face suddenly turned red, and he got up and walked away.

won a complete victory, and the Liang family ignored Li Shouzhong, only looking at his back and snorting twice. The maid on the side was worried, and came over and said, "Madam, I'm afraid that the master is going to move to the study again this time." ”

Liang blurted out: "What's the use of him even if he doesn't go to the study?" ”

The maid blinked, and suddenly didn't know how to answer. Liang suddenly felt that something was wrong, and immediately turned to say: "I'll go and see Brother Jian'er, this body has grown a little longer, why is his body getting thinner and thinner?" ”

The maid came out with the Liang family, and secretly thought in her heart, Madame's words became more and more profound, what did Fang Cai mean by that?

……………………………………………………

In the small courtyard, Qingwen and Xiangling were familiar with the objects, and Li Weijian sat aside tiredly.

Li Xinming, Li Wen, and Li Qi came over and talked for a while, and they all left. That Li Wen and Li Qi also made an appointment with Li Weijian, and they had to go to the Confucius Temple together for two days.

Later, the eldest aunt Liang came again, sent a cup of iced white fungus lotus seed soup, and quietly counted Li Shouzhong before leaving.

After taking a sip of warm tea, seeing Xiangling glancing over when he was walking, he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Li Weijian smiled and said: "Let Wu Haining rest for a day, and I will send him to Daruzhou early tomorrow morning." ”

Xiangling bit her lip and said, "Fourth master, I'm not in a hurry." ”

"If you're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, it's mid-May, hurry up and get these things done, and we'll go back to Beijing."

Xiangling gratefully agreed, and was about to speak, when a housekeeper suddenly came from outside and handed over an invitation, saying that it was sent from outside.

Li Weijian unfolded the invitation and glanced at it a few times, and suddenly felt annoyed. This invitation was sent by Zhen Yingjia of Jinling Weaving, and Li Weijian was invited to the banquet today, which was regarded as washing the dust for him...... It's nothing, but the words inside are too crazy! There is a posture of the elders reprimanding the juniors!

Li Weijian has no contact with Zhen Yingjia, the two of them are one in Lang and one in the weaving, and they are both positive five products, even if they are from Li Kun, they are just relatives who are turning corners, where does this Zhen Yingjia have the confidence to speak like this?

Yes, this person is afraid that he knows that his teacher has entered the prison and feels that his backer has fallen, so he is so big, right?

Li Weijian smiled playfully, casually threw the invitation aside, and said, "Sister-in-law Zhang, the person who sent the invitation is still there?" ”

Sister-in-law Zhang replied: "Go back to the fourth master, wait for the fourth master to reply in front of the door." ”

Li Weijian said: "Let's just say that I am sick after a long journey, thank you Lord Zhen for your kindness, but this time it is unblessed." ”

"It's-"

Li Weijian instructed: "As I said to that person, sister-in-law Zhang should not make a mistake or omit a word." ”

"Yes." Sister-in-law Zhang was suspicious.

Qingwen, who was picking up and spreading her bags, didn't know the inside story, but Xiangling, who was on the side, heard it really. As soon as Sister-in-law Zhang left, Xiangling couldn't help but say, "Fourth Master, such a reply will offend people." ”

"The son surnamed Zhen looks at the old man and me, and this kind of reply can be regarded as saving his face. That is, my lord, I have been cultivating myself recently, otherwise I would have been beaten out of the stick. ”

Xiangling said: "Didn't the fourth master still have to rely on the people of Jinling Inner Mansion this time?" ”

Li Weijian said with a smile: "The inner mansion is not only the Jinling weaving yamen, but also the master and I borrow people from the next place." ”

When Xiangling heard this, she didn't say more. She is already soft and beautiful, and it is also because Li Weijian wants to send someone to find her mother, so she is concerned about everything.

After a while, Li Weijian was getting up to stretch his body, and saw that Sister-in-law Zhang was back again.

Li Weijian frowned and said, "What's the matter, that person made a fuss?" ”

Sister-in-law Zhang hurriedly said: "No, that person said some harsh words and left." It was the prefect's yamen who sent the invitation. ”

Li Weijian took it over, and secretly thought in his heart, this Jinling prefect is still Jiahua Jiayu Village, and the last time he talked to Lin Ruhai, because of his vicious illness and lack of energy, he forgot to mention this person.

Because of Xue Pan's matter, Li Weijian has a lot of prejudices against Jia Yucun. The so-called seeing is believing, hearing is false, this time is just taking this opportunity to see what kind of character Jia Yucun is.

Seeing that the banquet was scheduled for tomorrow evening, Li Weijian said: "I'm tired of Sister-in-law Zhang's reply, just say that I will go to the banquet on time." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang suddenly sighed. Fortunately, the thrifty fourth master agreed, as soon as he came back, he offended Jinling Weaving first, and then offended Fuzun, and the Li family was afraid that it would be difficult for the future days.

After a short rest, Li Weijian looked for Wu Haining, sent him to the old house of the Jia family to find Jia Lian, and asked Lian's second brother to swim together in the Qinhuai River the day after tomorrow.

When Qingwen heard this, she immediately frowned secretly.

That ten miles of Qinhuai is not a good place, although the thrifty fourth master is clean and self-conscious, it can be said that there will be foxes who will take the opportunity to stick to the general.

Qingwen was thinking about how to persuade in the evening, but after the dinner, Wu Haining came to report: "Master, but it's not a coincidence, Second Master Lian went to Yangzhou, saying that he just left yesterday." ”

Jia Lian went to Yangzhou? That's really not a coincidence. Li Weijian didn't take it seriously, but Qingwen laughed secretly. I secretly thought in my heart, fortunately, the second master Lian went to Yangzhou, and the fourth master didn't have to go to the Qinhuai River now.

In the next day, Li Weijian first sent Wu Haining to lead several forbidden troops to Daruzhou to find Xiangling's mother, and it was until dusk, and then he pinched the hour to go to the banquet.

The carriage entered the inner city from the Hanxi Gate, passed through the streets and alleys, and headed for Sanshan Street.

In terms of wealth, although Jinling is not as good as Suzhou, it is where the yamen are located. The Jiangning County Yamen is here, the Jinling Mansion Yamen is here, the Jiangsu Governor's Yamen is here, and the Liangjiang Governor's Yamen is also here.

Yamen everywhere, most of them are concentrated in Dagongfang, Sanshan Street to Neiqiao Street, and the Jinling Prefect's Yamen is opposite Jinxiufang.

A moment in advance, the carriage stopped in front of the prefect's yamen, Li Weijian Shi Ran got out of the carriage, and there were already friends waiting here. Seeing Li Weijian, he hurriedly stepped forward: "But Li Langzhong in person?" ”

"Exactly."

"In the next is Jia Fuzun's curtain friend, Fuzun set up a family banquet in the inner house today to catch the wind and wash the dust for Li Langzhong, Li Langzhong, please come down."

Dinner? Ordinary reception banquet, just find a restaurant to deal with, what does Jia Yucun think, how to treat himself with a family banquet?

Yes, this person is Mr. Xixi, who has been Daiyu, and has escorted Daiyu all the way into Rongguo's mansion, and has always had a good relationship with Lin Ruhai. He is good friends with Lin Ruhai again, is this Jia Yucun taking himself as his own nephew?

In his heart, Li Weijian's footsteps did not stop, and when he entered the gate with the scene, he saw a great figure, dressed in civilian clothes, waiting in front of the Yimen.

Fixedly looking, I saw that this person has a round waist and a thick back, a wide face and a square mouth, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose and powerful cheeks, although there is a smile on his face, he is full of power in his gestures.

"But resurrection?"

Li Weijian's heart turned, and he immediately smiled and bowed his hand: "I've seen Yucun Gong!" (Note 1)

Jia Yucun laughed loudly, stepped forward and grabbed Li Weijian's arm, and said: "I heard that Jinling has a genius when I was old, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to see it." Later, he exchanged letters with Brother Lin, and only then did he know that Fusheng had an old relationship with Brother Lin. Recently, the name of resurrection is like thunder, foolish can see it today, and the resurrection is indeed worthy of its name. Haha, please, don't be polite when you come back to life. ”

As the saying goes, 'reach out and don't hit smiling people', seeing that Jia Yucun was so eager, Li Weijian took the opportunity to say: "Yucun Gong praised it, I just had a coincidence, and I made an inch." It should not be praised by the rain village duke. ”

"Resurrection is too humble, if you don't listen to it in Jinling City, I'm afraid of the nobles and gentry, and no one is looking forward to resurrection."

The two talked and laughed, passed the lobby, the second hall and went into the inner house, and after the third hall, they entered the main room.

The banquet had already been prepared, and there was a woman in the middle of twenty people, who hurriedly greeted them when they saw the arrival of the two.

Jia Yucun let go of the arm he was holding and said, "This is clumsy. ”

The woman came up to greet her, where did Li Weijian dare to take it? From Lin Ruhai's point of view, he is a junior. Immediately avoided it, and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Madame." ”

Jia Yucun said: "There are no outsiders here, and I didn't talk about those vulgar rites when I was resurrected, and I sat down first." Today's banquet is all from the hands of clumsy Jing. ”

"Oh? That's a good taste of Madame's craftsmanship. ”

The two of them cleaned their hands and sat down, greeted each other slightly, and drank a few glasses of wine, Jia Yucun said: "Have you ever been to Yangzhou this time?" ”

Li Weijian frowned and said, "I have made a special trip to Yangzhou and visited Uncle Lin...... Hey, Uncle Lin is only afraid this time, it would be good if he could survive a few months. ”

Jia Yucun frowned, and his heart was melancholy: "Brother Lin is only so old, it's a pity." ”

"Heaven is impermanent."

The two of them drank a full cup, and Jia Yucun thought and said: "Today, I took the liberty to invite resurrection to come to my home, but I was really uneasy because of my foolish heart. ”

"Oh?"

Jia Yucun said: "Can you know Jia Lian of Rongguo Mansion when you are resurrected?" ”

Li Weijian nodded: "I have always been good friends with Second Brother Lian. ”

"Then the resurrection can be known, that Jia Lian has come to look for the official every few months?"

Li Weijian became more and more puzzled, and asked, "Second Brother Lian came to find the prince of Yu Village?" I don't know what's going on? ”

"Heh," Jia Yucun smiled contemptuously and said, "What else could it be?" Brother Lin knew that the deadline was approaching, and the whereabouts of my female disciple were suspicious, and Brother Lin had not yet made up his mind who to entrust Miss Lin to. Jia Lian took the letterhead of the old lady of Rongguo Mansion and came to find the official as a guarantee. said that in the future, he will give birth to and raise Miss Lin, and when he is married, he will marry the one who was born with the title of jade. ”

Li Weijian frowned when he heard this. He knew that Jia Lian's trip south this time was not as simple as escorting Daiyu, but he didn't know that he had won Jia's mother's order, and he was going to take Daiyu's marriage letter at this time.

Concerning Daiyu, Li Weijian endured the churning in his heart and asked in a low voice: "I see...... I don't know if Yucun Gong has made a guarantee for Second Brother Lian? ”

Jia Yucun shook his head slowly: "Brother Lin can't let go, how can I be a guarantor?" And the decay of the Rongguo Mansion has been revealed, and the old things of ten years ago have not been forgotten by the saints......"

Li Weijian bowed his head and said: "Yucun Gong is very worried. ”

His mind was racing, and he secretly thought to himself, if there was no other accident, Lin Ruhai would have no choice, compared to the ugly face of the Lin family, Rongguo Mansion would have some face. And Jia's mother really loves Daiyu, so she knew that Rongguo's mansion was going to decay, so she still wrote a marriage letter and promised Daiyu to Baoyu.

Baoyu may not know about this, but Jia Mu, Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng, and even Yu Daiyu do. Therefore, when he returned to Rongguo Mansion this time, Daiyu would pay attention to Baoyu, and Wang Xifeng would joke in the future that Daiyu was the daughter-in-law of the Jia family.

After that, Baoyu and Daiyu knew each other's hearts, and Daiyu settled down and only waited for one day to marry Baoyu. Unexpectedly, it was Baochai who finally married Baoyu, and Daiyu ended up with a 'jade belt hanging in the forest'.

Jia Yucun is the guarantor of this marriage, and Daiyu is his female disciple, where can he endure it? Later, Jia Yucun led people to copy the Rongguo Mansion......

Straightening out the internal logic, Li Weijian slightly stretched his brows. Because of Xue Pan's incident, Li Weijian had a preconceived idea and decided that Jia Yucun was ungrateful. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's too early to be so preconceived. What kind of person is in Jia Yucun still needs to be seen later.

Although he never received a reply from Lin Ruhai, the letterhead written by his mentor had already been handed over, and Li Weijian thought about it, this time he finally didn't have to choose between the Lin family and the Rongguo Mansion, so he had one more choice. What Jia Yucun can figure out, how can Lin Ruhai not understand it?

Thinking about it like this...... The advantage is mine!

Because he opened his mouth and said: "Yucun Gong is worried, when I was in Yangzhou before, Uncle Lin also carefully asked me about the situation of Rongguo Mansion. I don't have to talk about everything, I think Uncle Lin will have considerations. ”

Jia Yucun stretched his brows and said, "That's very good." Come, resurrect and drink this cup. ”

"Yumura Gong, please."

After a drink, the two of them no longer talked about it, but instead talked about the court situation, and inevitably mentioned the salt politics again, and Lin Ruhai again.

Jia Yucun said wistfully: "With the help of Brother Lin, you can recover, and you have the current situation." How...... The fool has not repaid one or two, and Brother Lin suffered this hardship. ”

Li Weijian's mind turned, and he said: "I heard that the Duke of Yucun got Uncle Lin's letterhead that day, and with the help of the Rongguo Mansion, he reinstated the Jinling Prefect? ”

Jia Yucun blinked: "Where do you start talking about resurrection?" At that time, Qian Tianguan of the Ministry of Officials was Brother Lin's teacher, and he was foolish and got the help of Qian Tianguan. Jia Cunzhou just led me to the door, but he couldn't talk about helping. ”

"I see, ha, I'm afraid I'm mistaken."

That's it! No wonder Jia Yucun doesn't sell the face of Rongguofu, and dares to take Lin Ruhaimen Road to get up and down!

The Jia family was indeed known as the Jia Banchao back then, but after ten years, it was still possible to instruct the Ministry of Officials, which was a bit excessive. If this is the case, I am afraid that the emperor will have to open one eye when he sleeps, for fear of being replaced by the Jia family.

At the moment, the two pushed the cup and changed the lamp, Jia Yucun briefly mentioned the government and politics, but never mentioned Yan Xiyao's imprisonment, and then mentioned the cement business, praising Li Weijian.

Before he asked: "Jinling is a revival of the township, resurrection can not be favoritism, then Suzhou has cement business, Jinling always has a water service, cement business." ”

Li Weijian said: "Yucun is embarrassed for me. Don't hide it from the rain village duke, I originally intended to go to Tuzhi to run an iron factory this time, and I will check it out in a few days. If this is done, I will definitely write to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to allocate money and grain to prepare for the establishment of an iron factory. ”

Jia Yucun blinked and praised: "Okay, then it's all up to resurrection." ”

Li Weijian observed his words and looks, and had another thought in his heart. I'm afraid that this iron factory doesn't have any thoughts about Jia Yucun. Think about it, the iron factory is under the jurisdiction of the inner government, and all the taxes that should be taken are the accounts of the inner government, and have nothing to do with the local government.

If you really set up an iron factory in Ma'anshan, it will only benefit the people everywhere, not like the cement business, it looks like a ladder for the local officials. It's no wonder that Jia Yucun is not very eager.

At the moment, the two of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and they were happy. This banquet was eaten until night.

When Jia Yucun sent Li Weijian out of the mansion, Li Weijian pretended to be too drunk to get into the carriage, and the car went out two streets, Li Weijian, who closed his eyes and recuperated, opened his eyes, and suddenly returned to his clarity, where is he still half drunk?

In this contact, Li Weijian probably knew that Jia Yucun was a person.

I'm afraid this person didn't tell the truth! Although Jia Yucun is very well disguised, it is difficult to hide his arrogance...... To be more precise, this person was born with a backbone in the back of his head, and he is afraid that he is a two-faced, three-sworded, honey-bellied sword.

What Fang just said is just to get closer to Li Weijian, what he really cares about is cement business! With cement business, building bridges and embankments, he can fly smoothly.

Although Li Weijian is not a good person, he hates villains very much. After all, there is naked hatred only between peers. Such a two-faced and three-knife drill camp must be careful in the future, so as not to be stabbed in the back by anger.

But Jia Lian was there, Li Weijian thought about it, because of himself, Lin Ruhai had one more choice, because Jia Yucun had not been a guarantee, and it was expected that Jia Lian should not be able to get Daiyu's marriage letter this time, right?

The so-called concern is chaotic, thinking of this section, Li Weijian couldn't help but get bored. I don't know what Lin Ruhai is worried about, he is also a young man, such a good choice is here, what is Lin Ruhai hesitating about?

It's a pity that I am entangled in general affairs, and I have to go to Ma'anshan in two days, otherwise I really want to return to Yangzhou immediately and ask Lin Ruhai what he is thinking about in person.

The carriage went out of the inner city, and it didn't take long to arrive at the Li family's house on the shore of Mochou Lake. Li Weijian is only smoky, but the eldest aunt Liang has never slept peacefully. Knowing that he was returning, he looked for a lot of nagging. Li Weijian laughed and said a lot of words, and then he had to sit freely.

Xiu Ying led Bi Tong back this time, Bi Tong went down to settle down, Xiu Ying waited for Li Weijian to wash up, and chattered about the situation in her second sister's house.

Xiuying, the simple girl, said happily: "Master doesn't know, my second brother-in-law has changed his face this time, and he doesn't say anything about the cold and warmth every day, knowing that I am going back today, and he killed a duck before leaving." ”

Li Weijian said: "No one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains." ”

"Isn't that what it is?" Xiu Ying picked up the basin and was about to go out, so she came in with the water for washing her feet. took off his shoes and socks for Li Weijian, and said while rubbing: "In the future, the second sister can speak harder, and the mother-in-law doesn't dare to bully the second sister too much." After a pause, he said: "Yes, many gentry came to the door of the house to deliver the post today, as if they were all looking for the fourth master." The master was so annoyed that he simply closed the door to thank the guests. Master, the master won't delay things like this, right? ”

Li Weijian smiled: "It's okay, just hide and relax." Hey, I can't be idle for two days, and I'll have to go to Dangtu Mountain to see it in a few days. ”

"Do you want to leave?"

"Well, this time I'm going to do business, or I'm in the mountains, so I won't take you."

Xiu Ying pursed her mouth, wiped her feet for Li Weijian, and went out with a basin of water. After a while, he took off his clothes and climbed onto the bed, and after a moment of silence, he got tired of it.

Li Weijian nodded his eyebrows and said, "Master, I drank wine today, and I really can't bear to move." ”

Xiu Ying stopped her beard, came over again, and whispered: "You don't need to move, I, I just need to move." ”
