Xifeng and Xue Pan had already negotiated, and following Zhang Dehui's guidance, they came to the best Xiankeju in Suzhou City to eat crabs.

This Xiankeju is a garden-style restaurant, where people can choose food according to their preferences.Xue Pan asked, "Which one is better?"

The waiter replied with a smile: "You can choose whichever place in this garden you choose, and then hold a banquet on the spot."

Xue Pan laughed and said, it's a novelty, and it was chosen under a gazebo on a hillside.There are two sweet-scented osmanthus trees blooming on the hillside, and a small river next to it is clear to the bottom. The pavilion is bright and clear, and the eyes of the water are also clear.

"Sister, no, brother, how would you like to see this place?" Xue Pan was courteous.

The big idiot Xue also gave a bit of a wink, the place he chose was just as he wanted, and he replied with a smile: "My brother chose it, of course it is good."

Xue Pan couldn't help being overjoyed at being praised, so he ordered the waiter to have a banquet here.

After entering the pavilion for a while, I saw cups, chopsticks and wine sets on the round table in the pavilion, and tea sets of various colors on the other end.A few servants are fanning the stove to make tea, and a few little girls are fanning the stove to heat wine.Xifeng couldn't help but praised: "This tea is thoughtful, even the things in this place are clean and elegant."

Zhang Dehui also looked left and right, and praised it, it really is Xiankeju, such an environment is worth spending a lot of money to come once.

For a while, the food, wine and crabs were ready, and they were served hot on the table.Xue Pan often ate these crabs, so he ordered: "Don't take too many crabs, still put them in the steamer, take ten, and then take them after you finish eating." Several girls cleaned their hands and stood aside to wait on the crab meat. , Xifeng stopped him and said, "I'll eat the sweets by myself, I don't need you to wait on me."

When Xue Pan saw it, he also clamored to peel the crabs himself. Zhang Dehui saw that the host and guest were like this, so he didn't dare to pretend to be big, so he peeled the crabs himself.The little girls brought up the hot wine again and filled it up one by one.

Xifeng saw that Xue Pan was being obedient all the way, looking at her face while eating wine at the table, she secretly felt it was funny, and hurriedly persuaded: "Brother, eat a few more glasses, it's not a problem." Xue Pan was overjoyed when he saw Yun, Eat two cups in a row, and then give you a mouthful of delicious crab roe, which is delicious.

The little girls on the side brought mung bean noodles smoked with chrysanthemum leaves, osmanthus stamens, and prepared to wash their hands.

Xifeng excitedly peeled open a big house crab, which was full of crab roe, dipped it in a plate of vinegar and ate it, um, it was so delicious that I swallowed it with my tongue.

Xue Pan laughed and said, "Don't keep eating crabs, drink a few sips of hot shochu, so you can save your stomach from getting cold after eating too much."

Xifeng picked up the small begonia jelly stone banana leaf cup on the table, and took a sip of the wine. In addition to the spicy taste, there was also a faint floral fragrance in it.

Xifeng asked the girl serving beside her, "What's in this shochu? It has a sweet floral scent?"

There were two dimples on the little girl's face, and she smiled sweetly, "Master, this wine is soaked in flowers, so it has a little flower fragrance in it."

Xue Pan burped as he drank, "What kind of flower or grass, sir, I haven't found a scent of flowers after drinking it for a long time, but my brother can taste it carefully."

Xifeng smiled and gave the rest of a basket of crabs to the driver and the servants, and told the lemons on the small table: "Although it is delicious, it is not very good. If you eat too much, be careful that your stomach hurts." There are orders to the servants to drink less alcohol, and to perform their duties so as not to delay their work.Zhang Dehui looked coldly at Xue Pan, who was blushing from drinking, and then at Xifeng, who was so well organized at a young age, and couldn't help sighing. When will his uncle be as capable as this young master of the Wang family, then Mr. Xue Even death can rest in peace.

After drinking and eating, Zhang Dehui took the two young masters for a stroll in the street, while introducing the local customs and customs here, Xifeng carefully observed the shops here, and she really became more elegant, even walking on the street Most of the people on the street are dressed as scholars, and the women's dresses are also more elegant, and they all speak in Wu Nong's soft language. Suzhou is indeed a thousand-year-old city!

A few people were on the rise, and suddenly they heard the sound of shouting in front of them, and everyone said that the new Xunyan Yushi had arrived.Both Xue Pan and Xi Feng were so lively, tiptoeing to look into the crowd, they saw a middle-aged man with white face and long beard wearing an official uniform getting off the sedan chair, clasping his hands left and right to the crowd, and was about to enter the government office to go.

But he didn't expect a sharp call from not far away: "Get out of the way, the horse is startled!" The crowd dispersed one after another, and a panicked yellow puma rushed towards this side screaming and screaming. Ben, who had just gotten off the sedan chair, was the inspector of the salt censor.

The censor saw that he was a scholar who had no strength to restrain a chicken, but when he saw the startled horse, he couldn't dodge for a while, and the horse was about to knock him down.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xifeng didn't care too much, ran forward and quickly pulled out the soft whip around his waist and lashed at the eyes of the startled horse. The horse raised its front hooves in pain and ran in a different direction, and the censor escaped. This catastrophe was a false alarm, with sweat on his forehead.

If the censor was hit by the startled horse, he would be seriously injured if he didn't die, but there was no loud noise near the mansion, so why did the startled horse suddenly appear?It must be aimed at this high official who just took office.

Salt inspectors are not a simple job. Salt is an important material related to the national economy and people's livelihood. It has been run by the government in the past dynasties. Salt inspectors are usually sent to major salt-producing areas. The court is usually in Lianghuai, Liangzhe, Changlu, Hedong and other places each sent a patrol salt censor.

The supervisory censor originally had the duty of investigating and correcting evil officials and the emperor's eyes and ears. If he was ordered to serve as the salt censor, he would naturally be responsible for investigating the salt administration and correcting illegal activities.Xunyan Yushi is an official in charge of salt affairs, and whether salt merchants can make money depends on Xunyan Yushi.

So once you, the censor, get in the way of some people, they will use various means to deal with you, such as this shocking horse incident.

The inspector of salt and censor whispered to a small official under his command, and unexpectedly turned around and bowed his hands to Xifeng: "Thanks to the hero's act of righteousness, I am very grateful."

Xifeng waved her hands and said, "It's okay, it's fine, sir."

The censor recognized Xifeng as a savior, so he easily refused to let her go, insisting that Xifeng, Xue Pan and the others follow him to the mansion to have a talk.

Xifeng and the others couldn't evade, so they had to follow the lord's sedan chair all the way into the mansion, and the lord ordered the servants to prepare the food and wine when he entered the mansion, and asked his family members to come out to see him.

Xue Pan and the others were naturally flattered, but Du Xifeng didn't feel any burden in his heart, instead he thought about how much convenience this patrolling censor could bring him in business.

The censor asked everyone to sit down, and said with a smile, "Where is the young man from?"

Xifeng replied: "We are all from Jinling, and we have learned a lot from the old shopkeeper at home. It is impossible to imagine that we will have a destiny with adults."

The censor saw that the young man was under thirteen years old, his martial arts were extraordinary and his speech and deeds were orderly, he secretly praised him in his heart.

The censor smiled and said, "Why should my benefactor call me by your lord? I'm not alienated. My surname is Lin, my name is Hai, and my name is like Hai. Just call me 'Uncle Lin'."

This man turned out to be Lin Daiyu's father, the famous Lin Ruhai!Xifeng yelled in her heart, "Yeah! I saw a living person!" and quickly got up and saluted, "Don't dare, dare not. The boy is the second son of the Jinling royal family, and his scientific name is Xifeng. This is my cousin, His name is Xue Pan."
