In early October, Yangzhou city became noisy because of the new Huaiyang Governor. The heads of the four prefectures of Huai'an Prefecture, Yangzhou Prefecture, Fengyang Prefecture, and Luzhou Prefecture all sent second-level officials and aides to Yangzhou to congratulate the new governor.

In the Ming Dynasty, the position of governor of Huaiyang should be called governor of Fengyang. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was from Fengyang. Fengyang was the Zhongdu of the Ming Dynasty. However, in this dynasty, the status of Fengyang Mansion, which had been nine years of hardship, was not so high, and was renamed the governor of Huaiyang. Because the governor of Huaiyang was usually in Huai'an Mansion, the main location of Huanghuai.

As we all know, the Yellow River changes its river channel every few years, often seizing the Huai River into the sea, which is very harmful. The Grand Canal flowing through the Huai and Yang prefectures is the economic artery of the capital. The money, grain and products from the south of the Yangtze River are all imported into the capital by relying on the canal. The imperial court set up the Huai Yang Governor to ensure the smooth transportation of the Grand Canal. Sha Sheng's mission was missing "the prime minister's transportation of the grain and also in charge of the river channel". In other words, his main energy would be: the prime minister's rectification of salt rituals.

Therefore, Sha Futai is stationed in Yangzhou, and no one will say that he is greedy for the comfort of Yangzhou.

Amid this hustle and bustle of paying homage to Shangguan, two interesting stories spread in Yangzhou City during the beginning of winter.

Interesting story 1: Zheng Wenzhi, the son of a salt merchant who was guilty of a serious crime, was released from the county jail of Jiangdu County. Zheng laughed loudly in front of the court, and was arrogant, "If I had known that I would let me go today, why would Shen County Master be there?"

However, before Zheng finished speaking, Sha Futai's order arrived. The county police officer rushed forward and tied up and dragged it to prison. Zheng has not been released yet.

People at that time laughed at their arrogant and arrogant attitude, and did not change their skills at a young age, and did not overestimate themselves. It is said that the possibility of being sentenced to death in the autumn is extremely high.

Interesting story 2: Zheng Yuanjian, a big salt merchant in Yangzhou, refused to come to Sha Futai to personally negotiate the kindness of arrears of salt classes the day before yesterday. He was recently sentenced to pay 200,000 taels of silver for salt classes.

The gentry of Yangzhou said in unison: It deserves it!

This kind of slap in the face and reversal plot has always been popular among the public. Otherwise, in folk legends, there are so many cases of people who pass the top scorer in school and come back to avenge their parents and wives after they get revenge on their parents and wives? What's more, the image of the boss Futai is so glorious and majestic in the interesting news?

When two interesting stories spread to Jinling, Jia Huan was already in Nanjing Imperial College for several days. Listening to the classmates in the Zhengyi Hall discussing this matter, he just smiled. The cold wind in early winter outside the window blew the branches of the dead trees.

He helped Mr. Sha become the governor of Huaiyang and took over the power of the Prime Minister to rectify the salt rituals, and he naturally retired.

He is not very interested in staying to enjoy the honor of the core aides of the governor. At his age, it is not a good thing to bear too much attention. A good fighter has no great achievements.

Jia Huan flipped through the lecture notes at the desk, and familiar words appeared in his eyes and his mind. He had already memorized these sutras and memorized them in his heart.

"Ding, ding, ding."

At noon, the sound of the cloud board sounded on time. Dozens of supervisors studying in the school stood up one after another and prepared to go to dinner. The tables and chairs were moving and sounded.

When Jia Huan closed the pages, he remembered Daiyu who returned to Suzhou. He calculated the time and it was time for her to arrive in Jinling.

…

In early winter, the gardens and courtyards of the Jia Mansion are still so magnificent. There is only a little more noisy. News from the south has spread throughout the Jia Mansion: Huan Sanye’s poem is famous in Jiangnan, and there is also the name of Miss Bao.

In addition, Mr. Lin had been killed on the third day of September and asked his son to be the third master Huan. At this time, Mr. Lian took Ms. Lin to Suzhou. Looking back, Ms. Lin would live in Jinling for two years. I guess he would return to the capital at the end of the thirteenth year of Yongzhi.

Both Wang Ziteng and Jia Zheng agreed, and Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang had no objection. Because Xue Baochai's reputation spread all over the world, Jia Mu said "nonsense" and there was no following. Jia Huan and Xue Baochai's marriage was about a thin layer of window paper. Aunt Xue knew it. It was just a matchmaker who had provoked it. Wang Xifeng privately congratulated Aunt Xue several times, but she didn't say she didn't agree.

However, Xue Pan secretly scolded Jia Huan behind his back, "The turtle who is so bad, I want to marry my sister. Hum, Hum." Daeba Wang must not dare to make trouble. If you really want to ruin this matter, God knows how Jia Huan will hit him when he comes back? Besides, to be fair, it is not a humiliation for his sister to marry Jia Huan. The key is that his sister is willing too! He is thinking about something. Will Xiangling take her with her sister to marry Jia Huan? So, Huan Lao San is a turtle! He said no, but he snatched Xiangling?

Xue Pan wanted to cry a little.

There was no feeling about Lin Daiyu's return to the Jia Mansion after two years, such as Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and others. Jia Mu was reluctant to let it go. But because it was Lin Ruhai's last order, she had no choice.

As for whether it is reliable to entrust the orphan to Jia Huan? Everyone in the Jia family has their own opinions. Jia Zheng was not very satisfied with his brother-in-law's decision. The last letter from Lin Ruhai brought by Jia Lian will not be able to arrive at the Jia family after November.

Jia She was thinking about the assets of the Lin family. Everything was decided until Jia Lian returned to the Jia family.

Jia Huan went to the Jia Mansion with several other letters, and gave a brief explanation to Jia Zheng and Tanchun. The letter to Jia Zheng was briefly explained. The letter to his sister Tanchun described the scenery of Jiangnan and expressed his feelings of separation. He entrusted the third sister to say hello to Aunt Zhao, Baochai and the sisters in the mansion on their behalf.

These days, Baoyu often sighed and said to the maids: "You guys say, Uncle Lin is fine, how could he entrust the third brother Huan to take care of Lin Meimei? Can he do it? Alas..., Lin Meimei..."

Baoyu's maid was charming, and Qianxue laughed sweetly and comforted her: "Second Master, Mr. Lin must have a reason for doing this. The third master said he would live for two years. Maybe the court will open an enrollment tomorrow and he will come back."

Because of Jia Huan, the Jia family made up for the imperial examination process.

Baoyu shook his head and sighed. He felt something might happen.

In the Lixiang Garden in the northeast corner of Jia Mansion, the afternoon sun sets in the courtyard. A few sparrows flutter on the eaves and flies around the branches. The well water in the patio is cold. Ying'er flies half a basin of water and takes it to the house.

Baochai wore a goose-yellow long gown outside, with a delicate face and elegant temperament. She held a brush in her hand and wrote words in front of the desk. Her bright eyes and cool teeth were bright and white and smooth. A cup of warm tea at her hand exuded a fragrance.

Ying'er took an exquisite emerald green bamboo tube and filled it with water. She walked over to grind the ink. She saw the title of the white bamboo paper: Water tune song head. In the Mid-Autumn Festival in Guichou, Yangzhou wrote this article, and was also in love with Baochai.

The charming maid Ying'er couldn't help but smile a little. Everyone in the mansion thought that Miss Lin wouldn't go back for two years, but the third master wouldn't come back two years later? Then take the exam and get married again. The girl wouldn't go back?

Baochai was writing the famous poem "Water Melody Song Head - When will the bright moon come?", writing about "Dance and Clear Shadow". Seeing Ying'er standing aside and watching, a look of shame appeared on her face, bright and elegant, and said softly: "My tea is cold."

This is the third time she wrote today. I hope that people will live long and share the beauty of the moon with thousands of miles away. The thoughts hidden in my heart flow through my heart like gurgling streams.

Ying'er smiled pursed her lips and said, "Oh, I'll go now."

Outside the window, the winter sunshine falls warmly on the clean stone slabs, flowing with traces of mottled light and shadow.

…

In the nightly Yangtze River, several river boats set sail. From Suzhou along the Grand Canal, passing through Changzhou, Zhenjiang to Jinling, a light is faintly lit.

Daiyu woke up in the middle of the night and asked Zijuan, who was guarding her, to light the oil lamp, thinking lonely. The starry sky outside the ship was dotted.

I will be in Jinling tomorrow morning. She will live in Jinling for two years. What will the future look like?

It was very cold to wake up in winter. Zijuan wore a dark blue cotton jacket and sat on the edge of the bed and said carelessly: "Miss, do you want to drink a little tea? I'll pour it for you."

Daiyu hesitated for a moment, and her graceful and delicate face had a different kind of beauty under the lamp. She nodded gently and said in a soft voice: "I'm sorry for you."

"What are the words of a girl?" Zijuan smiled and poured tea, served Daiyu half-sitting up and drank a few sips of hot tea, comforting her, "Miss, you must take care of yourself. I think that the third master is in Jinling, and it must be arranged."

Lin Daiyu thought about it and nodded.

….

At about seven or eight o'clock in the morning, the boat arrived in Jinling. Jia Lian had already sent his confidant servant Zhaoer to the Jia Mansion in the city to report the news.

Jia Huan brought Qian Huai, Hu Xiaosi and several servants from the Jia family waiting in the teahouse outside Jinchuanmen. After receiving the letter, he came to pick up Daiyu.

The dock was extremely prosperous, with waters everywhere and goods densely packed. People came and went, and the sound of people was crowded. The boatman laid the wooden boards. Jia Huan and others were on board. The luggage was handled by Qian Huai and others.

"Brother Huan..." Jia Lian and others were on the deck, looking tired, and were very moved when they saw Jia Huan. He ran all the way and took care of Daiyu, which was very hard!

Jia Huan smiled and said, "Brother Lian has worked hard all the way." Jia Lian is still reliable in doing small things. Immediately, he went to the cabin with Jia Lian to have tea and talk. In addition, he sent someone to notify Daiyu and others.

The cabin is cleanly arranged. To be said, how luxurious it is, comfort is a big deal. This is the condition when you go out.

Sitting at the table drinking tea, Jia Lian pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Huan, I will sell all the real estate in Suzhou, my house is clean. I will give the accounts to Brother Huan later..."

Jia Huan waved his hand and said with a smile: "My second brother Lian is fine. I will just ask about this matter. However, Brother Lian needs to explain the account clearly when his uncle in the mansion."

Jia Lian smiled, and his smile became a little more comfortable, "That's it. I won't say anything. I'll invite Brother Huan to drink, but I want to invite the famous prostitutes in the capital to borrow the title of Brother Huan. Haha!"

He has heard of Jia Huan's reputation in Jiangnan. It is very enviable! He has never seen any of the four famous prostitutes in Jiangnan these days.

Except for the 800,000 taels of silver given by Uncle Lin, the total number of fields, houses, utensils and other fields was sold for 200,000 taels of silver. Jia Lian could naturally understand what Jia Huan meant: If you have privately hidden money, just fool your uncle, I don’t care.

Jia Lian did swallow a 3,000 taels of silver in private. Among each transaction, hundreds of taels of floating up and down. Who can tell it clearly?

"You can drink wine, just ask a famous prostitute." Jia Huan smiled and drank tea. He naturally would not care about Jia Lian's corruption - or not. This was what Lin Ruhai authorized to deal with Jia Lian. It was also considered Jia Lian's hard-earned money. He could only care about Daiyu's expenses. However, with Jia Lian helping to fool Jia She, he would be able to speak after returning to the Jia Mansion.

At this time, the servant Xing'er replied outside: "Second Master, Third Master, Miss Lin and Aunt Pei are ready to get off the boat."

Jia Huan nodded and ordered, "Then let's go." (To be continued.)
