After the system ran, I took off with my family

"Ah...Tiger, there's a tiger!"

When the eight slaves saw his majestic and tall appearance, they immediately screamed and became a mess.

Qing Wu and Steward Lin glanced at Lin Shuyue and the others, gritted their teeth, stepped forward to block Wei Feng, and said in a trembling voice: "You guys leave quickly!"

"Okay, Weifeng, come here."

When Weifeng heard Lin Shuyue's voice, he looked down at Qingwu and Butler Lin, then walked to her side with steady steps and lay down.

When Qing Wu, Steward Lin and others saw this, they immediately understood that this was the master's way of intimidating them.

Seeing that their expressions had calmed down, Li said, "If you work hard, we will not treat you unfairly. Not only will you receive a monthly allowance, but you will also receive a reward at the end of the year if you perform well. I hope you will not disappoint me."

"Yes, ma'am." The eight servants bowed in unison and responded. After being frightened today, they dared not underestimate their master again.

After Steward Lin led everyone away, Li tapped Lin Shuyue's forehead with her finger and said angrily, "You little brat, aren't you afraid of scaring people to death?"

Lin Shuyue hid behind Lin An and his two brothers with a smile, "Mom, I am just cheering you on, right? It's awesome."

The tiger lying on the ground nodded its head several times in a naive manner, which made Li go forward and rub its head.

After playing for a while, the family started to talk about business.

"The lotus pond will be ready tomorrow. The next step is to dig a canal from the river to bring water into the pond. The pavilion and the fence will also need to be built."

"We also need to prepare lotus seeds. I asked in the county today and found out that the better lotus seeds have been reserved by managers of other wealthy families in the county. We have to go to the capital to buy them."

Lin An explained the next arrangements in detail.

"Dad, let's go to the city together as a family this time. If there are shops or houses in good locations in the city, we will buy them all."

Lin Shuyue was a pauper in her previous life. Now that she has the means, she has to buy more properties.

"Okay, we'll do as you say." Lin An and the others had no objection. All the money in the house belonged to her, so she could arrange it as she pleased.

The next day, they asked Qingshan to keep an eye on the progress of the pond, and then told Manager Lin and Mother Wang to look after the house.

Qingyuan drove the carriage with the Lin family, and Qingwu followed in another carriage. They set off for the provincial capital at dawn.

The provincial capital is very close to Sishui County, only half a day's journey away. At noon, the group arrived at the city gate of the provincial capital.

"Qingyuan, find an inn to settle down first." Lin An ordered.

Qingyuan drove the carriage, carefully avoiding the bustling crowds on the street, and came to an inn.

After booking a room, the group went to the lobby to have lunch.

While waiting for the food to be served, two young men who looked like scholars at the next table were talking loudly.

“This Prince Liang was defeated, and the current emperor ordered Governor Zhao to escort him back to the capital.

It is said that Governor Zhao humiliated Prince Liang in every way along the way, even throwing dirty things on him. Prince Liang's bloodline is precious, but he was treated like this, which is really too cruel. "

The scholar, who was wearing a grayish green shirt and gently waving a folding fan in his hand, showed contempt on his face and shook his head.

Another scholar was equally indignant and said angrily: “This warrior is so vulgar, I really don’t know why the emperor trusts him so much.

Brother Wang, how about we join other classmates and jointly sue Zhao Wufu?"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden loud "bang" in the lobby, causing everyone in the lobby to look sideways.

Three big men at the table next to the two scholars stood up and glared at the scholars with red faces. The tea bowls on their table were knocked over and the tea flowed down the corner of the table.

"Bullshit! If it weren't for Governor Zhao leading his troops to capture King Liang alive, do you know how many innocent people would have died at King Liang's hands?

Open your eyes and take a look. See how many people died in Tongchang County and Tonghua County conquered by Prince Liang?

How many men in Yu Pingfu were captured, and how many elderly people, women and children died at his hands?

You want to sue Governor Zhao? Have you read so much that you are exhausted?"

One of the big men had bloodshot eyes and was cursing at the two scholars.

"That's right, Governor Zhao is a good man, he saved the people, and Prince Liang is a bad man, he killed the people. Are you guys brains filled with shit? How can you say such things?"

The people at the other table also shouted angrily.

"Brother, brother, do you know what this is called?" Lin Shuyue asked the two brothers beside her in a loud voice.

Lin Shuyuan and the other person responded in unison: "What's your name?"

"It's like drinking two ounces of ink and not knowing your own weight."

The two scholars saw that everyone was glaring at them and said angrily, "Summer insects cannot talk about ice."

In the corner, an old man with a white beard glanced at the two scholars and shook his head: "Pretentious and pedantic."

The old man did not lower his voice, and the two scholars turned around to look angrily.

The next moment, their faces turned pale.

"Students greet the dean." The two men walked forward and bowed with trembling voices.

The old man was a little surprised. "Are you students from Bailu College?"

Then he shook his head and said, "It seems that I can't take a break. This student has been taught to be such a bad person.

Okay, go do what you need to do and don't disturb me while I eat."

The two scholars retreated with red faces in shame, no longer in the mood to eat, and quickly went upstairs to their rooms.

When the people in the hall saw the scholar making a fool of himself, their anger subsided a little, and they sat down to eat, and discussed the matter of Prince Liang with the people around them.

The Lin family members were eating while listening to what was said around them. It turned out that Prince Liang had been in a stalemate with Governor Zhao's troops outside the city of Wang'an for half a month.

Governor Zhao did not want to waste any more time, so he sent a special force to attack King Liang's camp under the cover of night.

Because the stalemate lasted so long, most of King Liang's men relaxed their vigilance. Not only was the granary robbed, but the captured civilians also ran away.

After the successful sneak attack, Governor Zhao quickly ordered his troops to attack outside the city, catching King Liang off guard and capturing him alive.

Lin Shuyue silently complained about King Liang in her heart. He didn't have the ability to rebel, but wanted to sit on that position, and yet he oppressed the people. He was eager for quick success and was stupid without even realizing it. It would be a miracle if he could succeed.

However, the new emperor was very popular among the people. He not only sent ministers to appease the people of Yuping Prefecture and Wang'an Prefecture, but also when he heard that it rained in Anyang Prefecture and Qing'an Prefecture, he sent people to provide disaster relief.

If the victims want to go back, they can directly receive relief food. If they don't want to go back, they can also settle down in the nearest county. The new emperor has already ordered local governments to properly settle the refugees.

After the meal, the Lin family listened to all the recent news.

The new emperor ordered that the imperial examination should proceed as usual this year, and the academy examination will be held in the city in April.

Nowadays, students from all counties come to the various academies in the provincial capital to take the entrance examination. If they pass the examination, they can enter the academy to study. With the guidance of the great scholars in the academy, the chances of passing the examination are even greater.

After resting for a while, Qingyuan left Qingwu at the inn to look after the luggage while he drove the carriage to take their family to North Street.

When they were at the inn, they asked the shopkeeper and found out that there was a shop on North Street that specialized in selling flower seeds and fruit tree seedlings.

Half an hour later, the Lin family paid the money and agreed to come back to pick up the lotus seeds on their return trip tomorrow.
