There is no phoenix

As mentioned above, Mr. Qiu asked his attendants to get the wine, and the attendants listened and hurried downstairs.

At this time, the old bustard had already been let go, and hurried upstairs, and saw that the table in the room was overturned, the ground was in a mess, the white lotus was shaking and dressing on the bed, and Xue Pan was still lying naked on the ground, moaning, and hurriedly asked that Mr. Kneeling down, he said: "Young Master Qiu, you should hold your hand high. We are here to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. If it weren't for this, there would not be a girl like Bai Hehua coming here. All the people who come here are our guests, but their status is not as good as ours. Mr. Shang is definitely not an ordinary poor person. I beg you to be merciful and spare this guest!"

Mr. Qiu was about to speak when the attendant brought up a jug of wine.Mr. Chou took the jug, walked up to Xue Pan who was still moaning, and said with a sneer, "You were still very intoxicated just now. Come on, I will let you get drunk today!" Pan's body drenched, and Xue Pan hugged his head in pain and screamed.

Seeing this, the old bustard hurriedly cried and crawled to the feet of Mr. Chou, begging, "Mr. Chou, please stop. This guest was brought by Mr. Prince Teng's family. If something happens to him, it's not just me but the I'm afraid you will be in trouble too! Mr. Chou better take Miss Bai Hehua away."

After hearing this, several followers persuaded Mr. Chou, "Young master, let's go!"

Only then did Mr. Chou put down the jug, stepped forward to pull the white lotus, and said to the old bustard, "I won't argue with you this time, I will send Miss Bai Hehua back tomorrow night!" After saying that, he attracted four followers and walked away. go.

Seeing that Mr. Chou had already left, the old bustard hurriedly sent someone to help Xue Pan up.

At this time, Xue Pan was naked, with several bruises on his face and body, and he was in a panic.

The old bustard threw away Xue Pan's clothes, and asked someone to help Xue Pan wash and put on his clothes, and then asked for a doctor to come over and apply medicine to Xue Pan's wounds.Fortunately, Xue Pan was overweight. Although his eyes and nose were bruised, and there were several bruises on his body, fortunately there were no fractures.

After a while, Wang Ren and Qing'er came over. Seeing Xue Pan like this, they were shocked and asked why.The old bustard didn't dare to hide anything, so she told about Mr. Chou.Xue Pan endured the pain and shouted: "Cousin, you must avenge me!"

Wang Ren was also angry when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Who is this Mr. Chou? If I meet him, I will never let him go! He paid for it, and we paid for it!"

After hearing this, the old bustard persuaded: "My lord, please bear with me. That Mr. Chou is the eldest son of the Bingma Siqiu Taiwei. Who dares to provoke him now? I also persuaded him just now. Said that your Lord Wang and Qiu Taiwei are important officials of the emperor, don't worry about these two adults because of such a thing, so Mr. Qiu stopped after hearing it. Because he also gave Dingyin. How about it, wait for this young master Once the injury is healed, you can enjoy playing here for a day, and then I won’t charge you any money.”

After hearing this, Wang Ren remembered Wang Ziteng's words again, so he had no choice but to persuade Xue Pan: "How about this, cousin, you come to my house to recuperate your injury for a few days, and I will tell you that you accidentally fell down when I went to your house to look at the house. I will go back and tell my second aunt that my cousin only sprained his foot, and besides recovering from the injury, he will also study with me for a few days, and he will go back naturally after a few days when the injury is healed."

Seeing Xue Pancheng like this, Qing'er was already frightened into a daze. Hearing Wang Ren's words, she felt relieved and nodded her head in agreement.

Wang Ren called a sedan chair and let Xue Pan go home with him.Mrs. Wang Ziteng was shocked when she heard that Xue Pan was injured. Wang Ren said something according to what he had made up earlier, and Mrs. Wang Ziteng believed it.

Xue Pan lived in Wang's house for seven or eight days. Wang Ren took Qing'er and hired someone to tidy up Xue's house and buy things in the past few days.Xue Pan saw that there were no injuries on his face, so he left and went back.Since then, for several months, Xue Pan didn't dare to go out again, and only played with Jia Qiang, Jia Rong, Baoyu and others in Jia's mansion.

But it is said that Daiyu and Jia Lian traveled south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. After more than ten days of travel, they finally arrived in Yangzhou on November 28.

Jia Lian came to Yangzhou for the second time.Three years ago, Daiyu's mother, Jia Min, passed away, and Jia Lian was entrusted by Jia's mother to take Daiyu to the capital.Seeing that Jia Lian likes to hang out, Lin Ruhai is also very generous to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian originally liked loose, free and lustful people, but after leaving the disciplined Jia family and the extremely powerful Sister Feng, he felt like a bird in the jungle and a fish in the sea, and he was more happy to come to Yangzhou.

The customs and characters in the southern country are quite different from those in the north.Lin Ruhai specially arranged for two people to accompany Jia Lian to go out every day, and Jia Lian felt like a fish in water, feeling at ease like never before.

This time when Daiyu came back, Lin Ruhai saw that Daiyu had grown a lot taller, but her temper hadn't changed much.Daiyu saw that although her father had a sick face, he was in good spirits. He went to the yamen every day to work, and when he came back in the evening, he was still at his desk looking at various accounting documents.At this time, Daiyu would bring a cup of tea, stand behind Lin Ruhai, and beat Lin Ruhai's back.

Sometimes Daiyu sees Lin Ruhai coughing badly, and advises, "Father, rest."

Lin Ruhai shook his head and said, "Yu'er, do you know that my father is now in charge of all the salt taxes in the south of the Yangtze River, which is the economic lifeline of almost half of our Chinese dynasty. The emperor valued your father, so he entrusted me with this position. Shi Jun Zhilu, I want to repay the kindness of the king. Our Lin family has been loyal to the country for a hundred years, and the book is passed on to the family. No matter how life is going, you have to remember this, do you understand?"

Daiyu nodded and said, "Father, I know, what do you want to copy, I'll help you copy it, okay?"

Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "That's okay, Yu'er's regular script is good, Dad thought you went to grandma's house, and forgot to read and write when you had company to play with."

Daiyu said: "Daddy, although I play with my sisters, I spend most of my time reading and writing. My daughter likes to be lively, but she prefers to be quiet."

Lin Ruhai stroked Daiyu's head and said, "Yu'er, your grandfather once said that you will definitely be able to stand up for our Gusu Lin family. Father believes in you. No matter what happens in the future, you must be fine. Look, This row on the bookshelf is all the salt tax income accounts in the south of the Yangtze River for more than three years. Dad wants to copy all of them and bind them. The emperor will send someone here in the next year, and I will give this to the emperor. Even if someone else is here in the future, the emperor I also know the situation of the Jiangnan salt tax operation. Dad is getting old, so let’s do what we can.”

After several days, Daiyu helped Lin Ruhai copy those accounts in this room.Every time Lin Ruhai came back, he would pick it up and check it carefully. Seeing that Daiyu's handwriting was neat and clear without mistakes, he nodded and said, "Yu'er, if you go on like this, you can finish copying it a year ago. I came late, there is no need to be in such a hurry, you can take Xueyan out for a stroll when you have time, just change into men's clothes!"

Daiyu said: "Father, when you are free someday, let's go together, okay?"

Lin Ruhai smiled gratifiedly and said, "Okay, Yu'er, I will take you out to enjoy the plum blossoms in the first month. The plum blossoms in Yangzhou have been famous since ancient times. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Daiyu said happily, "I'll go wherever Dad goes, but Dad must take medicine well, and we'll go when he recovers!"

Lin Ruhai nodded with a smile and said, "Yu'er, as soon as you come back, Dad's illness will be cured a lot. I think Dad will recover next spring."
