Sit on the edge of the bed in the cabin.

The wooden table was set up.

Jia Cong silently wrote "Mao's Poems" on bamboo paper.

Take a look at the homework schedule of the Kuniko Supervision Hall.

After a cursory look at the arithmetic and the law, he lay down boredly.

The water surface is calm and fluctuating, and people's hearts are faint.

The mountains and inlets outside the cabin window seem to be moving.

He took out his blanket and spread out Wang Jingwei's letter to read.

This Jiangsu Zhisi sub-patrol road went south one step ahead of him.

The custom in Jiangsu is that the governor and the secretary are stationed in Suzhou, and the feudal department is stationed in Jinling.

The general army was stationed in Zhenjiang, and the governor of the river was stationed in Huai'an.

The governor of Liangjiang was stationed in Anqing (Anhui did not have a province, but was incorporated into Jiangsu and Jiangxi).

Wang Jingwei is a sub-patrol under the command of the inspector.

It is under the three divisions of the governor and above the prefect.

There is always a time to meet.

Iron Bull added oil lamps.

Cao Dahua was summoned in the side cabin.

Tie Niu asked, "Are you going to rest?" But what kind of push-ups are you going to do? ”

"You have to work with perseverance, and you can't fish for three days and dry your nets for two days.

I also have to practice to be as strong as Cao Dahua. ”

Jia Cong did it again, and his face and neck were sweaty.

Iron Bull came over and sat down at the wooden table, looked at the bulkhead on the right, and pouted.

"Third Master Cong, you said that if Aunt Lin is gone.

My Da Chu woman has no inheritance rights.

Wouldn't his hundreds of thousands, millions of family property have to be consigned back to the north?

That's developed. ”

Jia Cong shook his head, looking indifferent.

"It's hard to say, it's none of my business."

Tie Niu nodded and sighed, "Miss Lin is really pitiful.

I heard that Aunt Lin originally had a son, but he died.

Although this Lin girl is beautiful and wise, she is not a man in the end, and she can't start a family.

Miss Lin is not like Miss Bao who can be a person.

And since childhood, he has been sick and weak.

It is said that he also loves to cry and cry, making him small-tempered.

Second Master Bao can't even coax him...... Third Master Cong, you will marry grandma in the future.

But you can't marry like this, and if we become slaves, we won't be guilty. ”

Jia Cong was amused, and threw the blanket in his hand: "The emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry."

I don't know if it's the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, it's early. ”

........

I received a letter from Lin Ruhai who was critically ill.

Daiyu washed her face with tears every day, crying at the desk, still silent.

The spring water in his eyes came as soon as he said it, and he coughed endlessly.

Zijuan looked at the food, and it didn't hurt much.

Serve it to the snow goose and pour it out.

The snow goose has a pink face, which Daiyu brought from Yangzhou.

Younger, not very sophisticated, as if there is no such person.

Zijuan put her arm on Daiyuxiang's shoulder, "Girl, what do you want to do with those troubles."

It's better to look forward to it first, and you will know when you arrive in Yangzhou.

Aunt Lin is looking forward to the girl, this time.

Watching the girl fall out in a few years, she may be happy.

There is always a time when the disease is better. ”

Lin Daiyu was as if she hadn't seen or heard.

Zijuan's side back saw the girl's fallen bun.

The light green gauze upper shirt, the jade belt around the waist, and the purple cuckoo smacked its mouth.

Slowly persuaded again: "Girl, Second Master Lian may not be reliable.

He can't take care of it himself, how can he take care of the girl kindly.

The good thing is that the third master has also come down, and he is the one who can make up his mind.

Even Prince Yu named him and asked him to be a staff officer......"

"What does he have to do with me?"

Lin Daiyu raised her head, tears flowed down her cheeks, and Zijuan felt distressed for a while.

"We don't understand men's affairs, and we don't understand the second master's boudoir.

If it happens, the girl will be helpless in the future.

I heard that the people of your own family are all distant relatives of Wuzhong.

How can this be good, neither the girl nor I can be the master. ”

Zijuan took the trouble to comfort.

In case my father died, it would be a real parasition.

My mother has long been buried in the ground, and after several years of absence, my parents are still there.

The appearance of Xiaojin Mountain and Victory Mountain is faintly recognizable.

The Huaiyang hometown of Liang Hongyu beating drums against the Jin soldiers.

The ancestral home of Sanwu Jiali and the Jinling Imperial Prefecture in the middle.

Six dynasties gold powder, Wang Xie Menting, the shore of Taihu Lake.

Wu Zhong's hometown, this time to the south, do you want to say goodbye forever?

Daiyu was stunned for a while, and then shook her head: "I'm a girl, how can I talk to him." ”

"The girl is petty again, you can't have a long talk with Third Master Cong.

Can't my aunt?

The girl was raised by a pretending to be a man, so she invited Xixi to learn poetry and books.

That gentleman is Ying Tianfu Taishou.

The girl just needs to talk to her aunt. ”

.......

.......

The ship passed through Huai'an and entered Yangzhou Baoying and Gaoyou.

Yangzhou Mansion, Jiangdu Port.

Merchant ships, civilian ships, and official ships shuttling back and forth extend in all directions.

It fills the entire surface of the river.

Suddenly, a ship with the flag of "Jiangnan City Boshi" rushed over.

Other ships gave way.

On the port.

The depressed housekeeper of the Lin Mansion stretched out his head and said, "It's here, it's here."

Our young lady is back, hurry up and carry the sedan chair.

The slender men disembarked and pulled the ropes.

Inside the guardrail, the sailors shouted: "Anchor!" Break down! ”

Jia Cong and Jia Lian stepped out of the deck.

The little girls protect Daiyu behind.

Do not wait for the rough minions to carry it.

The porters rushed in: "Official, please help us locally."

Which province is Yangzhou?

What about being a house?

That fang?

Say it, and you'll be there! ”

"Please help us!"

"We're toothy!"

Jia Cong frowned slightly.

Jia Lian smiled loudly, turned around and smiled: "Look, the head snake is arrogant.

Please, what about them, to increase the price.

If you don't invite them, the strong dragon will not suppress the head snake.

These gangs have people behind them.

So it seems.

For my brother, I don't worry that you will go to Suzhou alone.

Let's talk about Yangzhou first. ”

"The second brother still asks the Cao Gang, Yangzhou Salt Farm is an important place.

How can they not be familiar with the old man who patrols the salt and the imperial history. Jia Cong came up with an idea.

Jia Lian promised the Cao Gang to pick up the cargo box, and the fighting line and the tooth store withdrew gloomily.

If it is an ordinary civilian ship or a merchant ship.

They must buy and sell.

But in front of me, this is a signboard of "Jiangnan City".

Isn't it death to force you to buy and sell?

The distant mountains hover like snails.

The water near the water is as green as washing, and the water and sky are the same color.

Jia Cong and Daiyu followed up the steps of the port.

The river rises and falls, and the steps are long.

At this time, it was only about twenty levels left.

The place where the steps come into contact with the river.

The turquoise moss is sparse and swaying with the water.

Steward Lin on the port greeted him down, and the old tears were rampant.

"Miss is back, let's get on the sedan chair.

These two masters... Presumably the second master Lian mentioned in the master's letter?

Third Master Cong?

Please, get on the horse......."

"You're welcome, this is my brother."

Jia Lian smiled gently without losing his grace.

Steward Lin said "oh" and couldn't help but glance at Jia Cong.

Lin Daiyu responded: "Second Brother Lian and Third Brother Cong are all staying at home. ”

Steward Lin nodded: "It should be so, running around for months, let's rest first." ”

Jia Cong groaned and didn't refuse, and glanced at Daiyu.

Snow Goose is holding a small wooden stool in front of the sedan door.

Daiyu helped the purple cuckoo to hold the sedan chair, with a blue bead curtain.

He smiled back, his cheeks dimpled.

The two brothers rode into the city and arrived at the gate of Yangzhou.

Vendors gathered, and merchants walked the streets.

There is an endless stream of businessmen and horses.

"Jiangdu Fang Crisp, Gaoyou Duck Eggs, Fresh Fish Noodles!"

"Yizheng five-color cake! Hibiscus cake!

Gardenias! Ten cents a piece!

Fifteen pieces and two pieces! ”

A thick JAC accent fills the market.

After the search, they entered the city gate.

In the restaurant, you can see Huizhou giant merchants shuttling in the meantime, singing and dancing.

Heroic!

Square scarves, net towels, melon skin hats, corrugated hats.

Temple fairs, juggling, ventriloquism, stage, storytelling, can be seen everywhere.

Luxury, atmosphere, antiquity, vicissitudes.

Paradoxically, the city of Yangzhou, with a population of up to two million, is full of contradictions.

Jia Cong secretly admired: "Riding the crane tower is unforgettable for ten days, and the plum blossom ridge looks up to the ...... for thousands of years"

Cao Dahua and Tie Niu were foodies, and they happily bought fish and came back.

Jia Cong rode a horse and looked at the food box, and felt that it was fresh, crispy, beautiful, and full of color and flavor.

I can't help but ask, "Raw and cooked?" ”

"It's raw fish tart, a lot of ingredients, keep it and eat it."

Tie Niu smiled and hurriedly followed.

Jia Cong opened his stomach and ate it regardless of his image.

Eat this on a hot day, it's cool!

～～～～～

The Lin family's house was built in the north of the city.

Sitting north and facing south, in front of the gate of the double-ring beast.

Under the marble staircase there are two lion heads.

On the left-hand side, a stream of live water rushes out of the drain.

On the right is the central avenue, which goes directly to the government and the salt transportation envoy yamen.

The back is backed by hills and hills, and the eaves are built.

Looking outside into the wall, the garden is not small, and the rich people in the south of the Yangtze River have built a garden.

There are thousands of gardens in Jinling.

Yangzhou Slender West Lake was built by salt merchants.

What caused Jia Cong's surprise was; Opposite the Lin Mansion is a manure factory.

The construction door is recorded: there is water in the left hand, and there is a road in the right hand.

There is a mountain in the back and dung in front.

It is the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu.

For the best Feng Shui treasure.

It seems that Lin Ruhai's Xingyuan family house was built according to feng shui.

Steward Lin welcomed into the courtyard.

Turn around the rosewood shelves and marble base facing the doorway.

Tend to enter the second and third into the hall, and enter the garden to hang the flower gate.

Each in the backyard garden to find a quiet pavilion to arrange Jia Lian and Jia Cong's residence.

He also ordered people to receive the carts and horses of the Jia family, and the goods by hand.

Steward Lin greeted him with a smile.

But the sad look is revealed from time to time.

Night.

Jia Cong fell asleep, dreamed in a foreign land, and met Zhou Gong.

Living in a different place was a habit in his previous life.

It's like a bird flying out of a cage, but it's not homesick at all.

——————

The next day, the purple cuckoo and the snow goose brought food and ate it.

It is like a carefully selected Jiangnan vegetable.

Zijuan stepped back and stood up, waiting for him to get dressed.

She said: "My aunt has seen the second master, and I have been busy inviting Lang Zhong these days."

His complexion was better, and the third master Cong went with me to say goodbye. ”

"Okay."

Jia Cong agreed.

He knew that on the third day of September this year, Lin Ruhai would die.

There was nothing he could do about it.

One of them; Lin Ruhai was a complete stranger to him.

Second; He had not studied medicine and heard that a stranger had died.

What ups and downs can it have?

The purple cuckoo calls the snow goose to lead the way.

Xue Yan pouted and said, "Sister Zijuan, I can't remember exactly. ”

Zijuan snorted: "It's a shame that you serve the girl closely."

I went south with an old lady.

I walked through it once, and I remembered it. ”

"I was very small when I sold into the Lin Mansion at that time, so I didn't have much of an impression."

Snow Goose pouted and explained, and Zijuan shook her head helplessly, leading the way.

Wearing a long verandah, the wind sends the fragrance of osmanthus.

The water floats on the branches of the lotus, and it is faintly cool.

Out of the garden hanging flower door, across the courtyard hanging flower door, only to the west road outside the study.

Just walked outside the door.

Then I heard a human voice: "Is that Jia Cong in the show?"

His "Outer History of Confucianism" was marketed to Jiangnan.

I have read it for my father, and I want to explore flowers for my father in my thirties.

Xiucai has been taking the exam for 20 years, and he has been a Xiucai since he was 12 years old.

Brother Ouchi has this son, rare, rare... Ahem......"

"Hmm...... Father, stop talking. ”

"Master, girl, Third Master Cong is here."

Zijuan reported outside the door, and Lin Daiyu retreated when she heard the sound inside the door.

Snow Goose lifted the curtain felt.

Jia Cong went in.

At a glance, I saw a middle-aged man in a robe sitting on the Taishi chair.

He has a majestic figure and a pale complexion.

The sleek pear wood case is lined with a few salts.

The appearance is clear and elegant.

It is not difficult to see that this person was a handsome man when he was young.

He then worshipped with the etiquette of his juniors.

Lin Ruhai looked at him, he was wearing a square scarf.

Step on autumn and winter cotton platform boots, slightly thinner.

The complexion is healthy and ruddy.

Dressed in a dark robe with a dark belt, he held his hands weakly.

The momentum of the high-ranking people who have been in the official for many years seems to have a force.

"Sit, the eldest brother is not small.

It's hard for you to be famous at such a young age. ”

"It's all a false name, and the younger generations don't dare to take it."

The two of them went through these etiquette clichés first.

Lin Ruhai said slowly: "Chen Dongsheng and I belong to the same Taiyuan.

In the past few years, I have heard a little about your deeds.

Since they are relatives, they don't talk about it.

You must have heard of Gyeonggi Janglu Salt Farm.

Yangzhou Lianghuai salt field here, Huizhou giant merchant wealth.

Half of the national treasury, I wonder what you think? ”

Is it a test or what?

Lord Lin, you don't have to do this!

Jia Cong blinked, pondering how to answer.

Huainan in Jiangsu basically coincides with Huaidong.

The yamen of the two Huai salt envoys is also in Yangzhou City.

Yangzhou is a salt administration management center.

The salt transport envoy is a member of the three products.

In front of the Seven Grades Salt Imperial History, he didn't dare to make a mistake.

The imperial history is humble and powerful, and it is respected by humility.

The decline of Yangzhou City.

It was in the nineteenth century that Jiangnan was directly excluded and classified as Jiangbei.

At that time, the popularity of Wu language in the north and south of the river also surpassed the Jianghuai official dialect.

Now is in its heyday.

Yangzhou salt merchants got rich.

It's just a Huizhou giant businessman who came here to operate a salt business.

Millions of family properties are small rich, and there are many guilds and chambers of commerce.

The total property accounts for half of the state treasury.

If the court doesn't rectify them, it's unreasonable.

"Forgive me, my aunt, the younger generation is a newcomer.

I don't know much about the two Huai salt farms and Yangzhou salt merchants. ”

Jia Cong pondered for a while and said dignifiedly: "I just saw it from the history books."

"History of the Song Dynasty" contains salt citations.

One lead hundreds of pounds, yuan, Ming, and shun are used.

Salt and iron are huge, and the treasury is still empty.

I am afraid that it is the result of the indiscriminate distribution of officials and businessmen and the control of each other.

The merchants raised the price of salt, but it was the people who suffered. ”

Lin Ruhaiyan can not know the shortcomings of this.

But it was strange to say that from the mouth of a ten-year-old.

He said softly: "You are right, if the salt is introduced for a long time, it will produce ills and diseases, and it will be difficult to get rid of the disease."

When I was ordained, the Holy One repeatedly asked me to collect the salt tax.

Nowadays, 'there is no medicine for many diseases, and there is no Pilgrimage for Juanda'.

Being in the Viyan resort, you can't repay the situation.

What a shame! ”

The ancestors of the Lin family attacked the liehous, and added an extra generation.

Later, the title was dissolved.

The titles of the Chu Dynasty cannot be hereditary from generation to generation.

It is somewhat similar to the "fourteenth class" of the Qing Dynasty.

Lin Ruhai explores flowers and first.

Born in the third place of the first class, Ruhai is not his name.

Lin Ruhai's surname is Lin Minghai, and the words are like the sea.

Nowadays, the main wife is dead.

If you don't have an heir, you will be blamed.

After Jia Min died of illness.

Lin Ruhai does not fill in the house or take concubines, and his feelings are single-minded.

Jia Cong put back his thoughts, sorted out his thoughts, and said eloquently.

"That's nothing more than a path of reform, except for reforming the political evils.

There is no other way, and even the best decrees breed ills. ”
