On the Yangzhou wharf, Jia Yucun looked at the two lucky boats, one going north and the other going south. He couldn't help feeling deeply, and kept blaming himself for his political vision.

It turned out that about half a year ago, the political turmoil in Beijing affected the officialdom of Yangzhou. Through various signs, Jia Yucun thought that Lin Ruhai was losing power, so he found an excuse to fire the teacher and left the world to live freely.

Unexpectedly, half a year later, the situation changed drastically. Instead of being affected, Lin Ruhai was deeply trusted by the emperor and was promoted to the inspector of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It seems that in a few years, he will be able to become an official in Beijing. By then, I am afraid that at least six people will be Started as a minister.

And Lin Ruhai's capable subordinate, who was called Qilinzi by Yangzhou officials, and Chen Zhao and Chen Zishang, who had also studied with Jia Yucun for two years, resigned from office and went to Beijing. The capital is visiting the grandmother in the Rongguo Mansion, but at this juncture, if he goes north to the capital, I am afraid that the emperor will pay attention.

Maybe it was arranged by the emperor.

If this is the case, it means that the future of Duo Duo is great and unlimited.

Only then did Jia Yucun feel alarmed, but he was unwilling to give up, so he came to see Lin Ruhai while Lin Ruhai was at the Yangzhou wharf preparing to board the ship.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai turned out to be a magnanimous person. He didn't care about Jia Yucun's farewell half a year ago. As expected, Lin Ruhai can occupy a high position, and this prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach.

It's a pity that I have poor eyesight. If I had been serving as a teacher in the Lin Mansion for the past six months, I might have been resurrected by the court by now.

Sending off the two lucky boats, Village Chief Jia Yu sighed, walked away from the pier, and walked to a small tavern not far away, intending to drink a few glasses of wine, who knew that just after entering the door, one of the diners got up Laughing, he picked it up, and said in his mouth: "Fortunate encounter, fortuitous encounter." When Yucun was busy looking, this person was a famous Lengzixing who traded in the antique shop in Duzhong. He knew each other in Duzhong in the past. Yucun liked this Lengzi the most Xing is a man of great ability, and this Zixing borrowed the name of Yucun's gentleness, so the two talked speculatively and they were the most compatible.

After the two exchanged greetings, they immediately sat down together, and Leng Zixing asked, "Brother Shi Fei, I was sitting here just now, and I saw you seeing someone off at the pier, presumably it was the salt transport envoy from the two rivers." , Loyal and brave Bolin like Uncle Hailin, right?"

Jia Yucun laughed, drank a glass of wine, and asked with a smile that was not a smile: "Now it's the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Inspector General Lin, Brother Leng, aren't your old father-in-law and old mother-in-law both in charge of the Rongguo Mansion, don't you?" do not know?"

"It's true that my father-in-law and old mother-in-law are the real power in charge of the Rongguo Mansion, but Uncle Lin is the son-in-law of the Rong Mansion after all, and now he is a senior official of the third rank, or uncle, how can I have the right to meet with him?"

Brother Leng looked helpless, but his face was full of disapproval. Obviously, what he thought in his heart was completely different from what he said.

Jia Yucun knew that Leng Zixing was the son-in-law of Zhou Rui's family, who was the confidant of the head wife of the Rongguo Mansion, and relied on the "resources" of the Rongguo Mansion to open an antique shop in Kyoto, and lived a happy and happy life.

With the airs of Rongguo Mansion, Leng Zixing naturally dismissed the officials under the sun.

Even in front of Jia Yucun, he behaved more blatantly.

This is always the case for noble slaves from aristocratic families.

"Why, look at Brother Leng's demeanor, do you think you don't like Uncle Lin?"

Jia Yucun could see what his companion was thinking at a glance, and with a flicker of his eyes, he chuckled and joked: "That's right, Brother Leng was born in Rongguo Mansion, even if Uncle Lin meets him, he still has to be a bit mean!"

But he was thinking in his heart: "A dog's eyes look down on people, how do you know Lin Ruhai's future future? His capable subordinate, nephew and son-in-law Chen Zhao alone is enough to turn his hands into clouds, and turn his hands into rain, which is to destroy a glory. The Guofu, I'm afraid it's nothing to worry about, but you look down on others, it seems that this Leng Zixing is nothing more than that."

"Hey, Brother Shi Fei was joking, joking!"

Naturally, Leng Zixing couldn't tell what Jia Yucun was thinking. Although he was modest in his words, his face looked as if it should be so. He shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "How can I, a small character like me, get into the top tier of Tanhua?" Lang, the eyes of the first-class Zhongyongbo!"

"Brother Leng, you are being modest. By the way, Brother Leng just came from the capital and was from the Rongguo Mansion. Can you tell me about the Rongguo Mansion?"

Jia Yucunfei smiled lightly, and changed the subject without a trace.

He just got a letter of recommendation from Lin Ruhai, and is planning to go to Beijing sometime.

Because Lin Ruhai was used to being a pure minister, although he visited the capital many times, he had very little contact with officials in the capital. The one he was most familiar with was his brother-in-law, the head of the Rongguo Mansion, and a member of the fifth-grade industry department, Wailang Jiazheng.

"The prestige of Rongguo Mansion is so great that I often hear about it even in Jiangnan. I will go to Kyoto soon, and I want to take the opportunity to visit Mr. Jia Zheng, the master of Rongguo Mansion. Unfortunately, I know nothing about Rongguo Mansion, which is shocking. Uneasy!"

"Oh, brother Shi Fei is going to Beijing too?"

Leng Zixing's eyes lit up and he asked in a very urgent tone.

"That's right, isn't the imperial court going to rehabilitate the ex-members? I happened to be teaching the lessons of the Lin family's daughter at Uncle Lin's residence. I happened to meet at the pier today. Uncle Lin wrote me a letter of introduction and planned to go to the capital to meet her." Take your chances!"

Jia Yucun said with a humble tone and a proud face.

"Congratulations to brother Shifei, congratulations to brother Shifei, don't forget brother when he is on the top of the temple!" Leng Zixing toasted again and again.

"You are polite, and please tell me the inside information of Rongguo Mansion, brother Leng, so that I can know when I walk around!"

Jia Yucun smirked repeatedly and raised his hands in a gesture of request.

"If you want to talk about the inside story of Rongguo Mansion..."

Leng Zixing had a proud expression on his face. He picked up a peanut and put it into his mouth. He chewed it loudly and put on an air of arrogance before slowly and briefly talking about the affairs of Rongguo Mansion.

It's nothing more than a mess inside the Rongguo Mansion. The upright Jue Xie Jia She was driven to live in the East Garden. On the contrary, Jia Zheng, a mere member of the Ministry of Fifth-Rank Industry, was the second child in the family, and he had the audacity to live in the main hall of the Rongguo Mansion—— Rongxi Hall.

This Jia Zheng gave birth to the eldest son, and he managed him ruthlessly. He was forced to study when he was seriously ill, but he died as soon as he got married, leaving only one posthumous son.

As for the second child, it was even more terrible. As soon as the fetus was born, a piece of colorful and crystal-clear jade was held in his mouth, with many handwriting on it, so he named it Baoyu. Love is like a treasure. It is like a lifeblood. It is strange to say that now he is more than ten years older. Although he is very naughty, he is not as smart as him in a hundred. It is also strange to talk about children. He said: `Daughter is Flesh and flesh are made of water, men are flesh and blood made of mud.When I see my daughter, I feel refreshed, but when I see a man, I feel filthy and smelly. That’s why I’ve grown up so much, I never went to study, and I only become king in the inner circle...

Hearing Leng Zixing's story about Jia's mansion, Jia Yucun couldn't help thinking of the scene when he was teaching in Jinling's Zhen's family. He felt the same, and couldn't help sighing: "If things go on like this, I don't know who can inherit the foundation of Rongguo Mansion. .”

At this moment, there was a burst of firecrackers on the pier.

Immediately, some people in uniforms and soap clothes rushed over, beat and kicked those who set off firecrackers one by one, tied them up, and escorted them away.

Everyone around looked on coldly, and no one dared to say anything more.

"Hmph! Although Uncle Lin and Lord Chen left Yangzhou, they left a lot of backup after all. Those salt merchants thought they were out of the sea of ​​suffering. They really underestimated Uncle Lin and Lord Chen!"

Seeing this scene, Jia Yucun couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, "Why bother?"

"Brother Shi Fei, is there something weird about this? Could it be that setting off a few firecrackers, there is something inside that can't be done?"

Leng Zixing was full of curiosity and asked: "Brother Shi Fei, what do you know? Don't hide it from me, brother!"

"Hehe, although Uncle Lin has only been in charge of the salt business in Yangzhou for four years, Uncle Lin and the salt transport division judged Mr. Chen Zhaochen as ruthless, capable, and step by step, forcing the salt merchants to pay taxes in full. The salt merchants hated him to the death, but no matter whether they used official means or quack tricks, they could do nothing to them. Hearing that Uncle Lin and Mr. Chen left together, the salt merchants were very excited. I thought it was dawn, so I couldn't help setting off firecrackers to celebrate. How could I have imagined that these two adults have left, and there are many left behind in Yangzhou City. It is more than enough to clean up a few salt merchants. It can be said that there is no It is not Yangzhou of salt merchants, but Yangzhou of salt transport department.”

Jia Yucun said lightly.

He has served as a teacher in the Lin Mansion for two years, and he still has some understanding of the influence of the Yanyun Si Yamen.

"What? Those salt merchants are so afraid of Lin... Uncle Lin and?" Leng Zixing was startled, and his name for Lin Ruhai also changed.

But even so, he still ignored the little-known Chen Zhao.

"Brother Shi Fei, don't lie to me. Brother has traveled all over the world and has a little experience. He has long heard that Yangzhou salt merchants are as rich as a country. Since the Ming Dynasty, they have been as luxurious as the royal family. They not only sponsor scholars to study and become officials, but also recruit them in the world Heroes are all brave fighters, so no matter whether it is the court or the local people, they dare not provoke them." Leng Zixing looked in disbelief.

However, Jia Yucun looked disdainful: "In the eyes of other officials, this Yangzhou salt merchant is not easy to provoke, but in the hands of Uncle Lin and Master Chen, it is like kneading dough, and they are allowed to knead as they please. In recent years, Lin The uncle sent tens of millions of taels of silver to the emperor's internal treasury, paid the salt tax in full, and paid all the arrears over the years. Your Majesty and the officials of the Ministry of Households, who do not say that the Yangzhou Salt Transport Department has made outstanding achievements. In such a situation, Uncle Lin's family is happy and happy, the whole family is safe and sound, and the house is as stable as a rock. One can imagine the scene!
Leng Zixing nodded: "It must be because of the power of the Rongguo Mansion!"

Borrowing the power of the Rongguo Mansion?
Jia Yucun sighed in his heart: "You Leng Zixing has a big face, you have the final say!"
