Ruhai his sister

After returning from Zhang's mansion, Lin Huan took ancient books and ordered Qing Qiong Nian Shao to pick flowers and make rouge. Although he didn't intend to achieve any results, it was just a way to pass the time and learn this elegant thing.As for Xu Wei, she just sighed when she first learned about it, and she didn't bother to inquire after that. The path she chooses, good or bad, is ultimately up to her. Xu Wei may not have thought of today's result when she was calculating. .

However, Xu Zhuangyuan has no relatives who can help him in the court. If the Xu family wants to stand up in the capital, this is undoubtedly the fastest and best way.Although Zheng Liu is a concubine, he is the son and young master of Zheng Guogong's mansion after all. Taking this opportunity to climb up to the aristocratic royal family, he can also break into the upper class as quickly as possible.It is expected that Xu Wei also weighed the pros and cons for a long time, but still chose to plan.

All of these have nothing to do with Lin Huan.

Practicing calligraphy, playing chess, and tinkering with rouge every day, without the burden of the housekeeper, I am happy to be at ease.After a few more days like this, people from the clan also came.

It was the so-called "Second Uncle" Lin Yan who came. This second uncle was the eldest son of the patriarch, and there was a brother-in-law in front of him. Back then, he begged to marry the daughter of a big family in order to raise the status of the eldest son. However, the position of patriarch is still held by Lin Huan's family, so how can the aristocratic family marry off their prostitute daughter?Since the concubine's daughter was not available, she begged for the concubine's daughter, who belonged to a distinguished family anyway.It's just that she didn't expect that Mrs. Lin, who came from a great family, would look like this.

Only this time when they went to Beijing, the clan originally had the intention of cultivating good things. The patriarch and Lin Yan also knew a bit of the temperament of the second aunt, and they were also a little worried. Only this kind of thing, did not abandon the son and daughter-in-law, and choose the son-in-law and daughter-in-law reason.If you choose people from other houses, if you really get along with Lin Ruhai and Lin Huan, isn't it a restriction on his status as the patriarch?Therefore, there was no way out, so the Second Mrs. Lin and Lin Xi were sent to Beijing.Before leaving, he gave all kinds of advice, but who knew that things would still go wrong.

Since what happened on the wedding day, Mrs. Lin and Lin Xi didn't go out for a few days out of concern for their face. Although the two of them have shallow eyelids, they are not fools. After a while, they will know this. There must be Lin Huan's handwriting in the middle, and he will settle accounts with Lin Huan, but the thing is indeed stolen, and there is no way to tell, so we have to stop.When Lin Yan came suddenly again, he was taken aback and was reprimanded for a long time, but he didn't dare to take any action anymore, but he was still resentful towards Lin Huan in his heart.

Because of Lin Er's wife and Lin Xi's deeds, Lin Yan's face was disheartened, he was embarrassed to stay, and only wanted to take Lin Er and Lin Xi back as soon as possible.I couldn't bear Jia Min Lin Ruhai's sincere invitation, and said that it was hard to come to Beijing, so I accepted.

Jia Min placed him in a guest room in the outer courtyard, and sent a maid and servant to take care of him.Lin Ruhai took advantage of the rest period to treat her well.Followed Lin Hai to see the personnel affairs in Beijing

, Lin Yan felt more and more that the behavior of his father's order to make friends should not be lost.Although the Lin family is a prominent family, their ancestral home is Gusu, and they are well-known in the Jiangnan and Huaihe areas. There are also officials in the court, but it is rare for them to hold important positions. How can the family offend someone who has received the Sacred Heart like Lin Ruhai?

They didn't expect it at the beginning, only after the death of Lord Lin Hou, this one will be like this, how could they expect Lin Ruhai to have such a talent to win the name of Tanhua in one fell swoop.Using Lin Ruhai's identity to make friends and play around in Beijing, it's already mid-April.I was planning to set off, but I thought that it would be Duanyang in May, so I stayed with Lin Yan for a while. After Lin Huan passed the Duanyang at home, the weather gradually became sultry. It would be bad to delay any longer. In December of a year, how can there be such a favorable time, place and people?

Jia Min made arrangements to pack up for a while, and looked for the almanac to calculate the date, and set off on May [-]th.

From the waterway along the canal to the south, sailing all the way, the wind is smooth and the water is smooth, but it is also fast.But on the [-]th or [-]th, we arrived in Huaiyang.

Lin Huan sat in the cabin, looking for silk embroidery, Qing Qiong helped to divide the thread, Nian Shao and Zhu Li faced each other and tied the knot, Liu Ying smiled and watched, very comfortable.

But smelling the hustle and bustle in the outer cabin, Lin Huan raised his head, frowned and said, "Liuying, go out and have a look, but what's the matter?"

Liu Ying went out in response, and after a while, Lin Huai followed, stood outside the cabin and replied: "Yangzhou is ahead, the second master means to stay in Yangzhou for a day first, to rest for a while, so as to replenish supplies. Unfortunately, there was a dead man on the wharf over there, who was about to leave the port, but collided head-on with our ship."

Hitting the coffin for no reason, not to mention the present, even in the 21st century of the previous life, it will be called bad luck.Lin Huanning sighed, she didn't care about these things, besides, when her parents passed away, she and Lin Ruhai carried their spirits back to their hometown. Seeing Lord Lin's new funeral, there is still a bit of prestige, and it is better for others to look at it and give it a bit of convenience.

Lin Huan knew the pain here, and said: "The dead are the big ones. Go and tell the second uncle, let's take a back and take a shelter, and let them go first."

Lin Huai responded and withdrew to go out. After a while, he felt the ship fall back a few feet. Lin Huan lifted a corner of the cabin curtain and looked out. There were several large ships with white flags hanging, and vaguely heard the woman crying. Voice.

The funerals of the Great Zhou Dynasty were all custom-made.Civilians have the standards of civilians, officials have the standards of officials, and different grades have different standards.Looking at this posture, it is impossible to have below the third rank.

This place is in Yangzhou, which is very close to Gusu, so Lin Huan couldn't help but fall in love with it.Liu Ying was dispatched to find Lin Huai, and said: "Go and find out, which family died? Be careful."

When Lin Huai came back, his face was quite heavy.

"I heard that it is the Master of the Salt Transport Envoy here."

Lin Huan was surprised. Although she was in the boudoir, she was not ignorant of the outside world. The Envoy of the Lianghuai Salt Transport was appointed by the Holy Majesty last year, and he was only forty years old.If it is said that he is going to die, it is a bit early, and he is still in this position, and the two are nervous about salt and tea, and the place where the salt owl is domineering, it can't help but make people think about it.

"Do you know how to live and die, what disease is it?"

Lin Huai slightly pursed her lips and looked around.Seeing the four big girls who were following Lin Huan, there were no outsiders, walked forward, bowed her body and said in a low voice: "It is said that they are not acclimatized, and they are overworked, so they suddenly disappeared. It's just... ..."

As Lin Huai said, he knelt down to plead guilty: "The servant is bold. Seeing that the person who died was the Xunyan Censor, he took the master's post privately, saying that he wanted to serve the same saint, and waited for the master to pay homage to him. On board the boat , the servant saw that the faces of the people in the mansion were different, so he took it seriously. It was because of the funeral that the ship was not strictly managed, and the servant eavesdropped on the conversation of the steward, and the meaning inside and outside the words seemed to be poisoned to death."

Lin Huan was startled, "But what else can I find out?"

Lin Huai shook his head, "No more."

Lin Huan walked back and forth twice, and said, "Go and discuss with your second uncle. Yangzhou and Gusu are not far away. Since we have to stop in Yangzhou, we are not in a hurry to leave. If your second uncle is not in a hurry, just say Just stay for two days. You take advantage of these two days to go outside to inquire about the current situation in Yangzhou City, especially pay attention to the movement of the two salt and tea restaurants."

"Yes!"

Lin Huai withdrew, but Lin Huan was still uneasy.Qing Qiong was puzzled, and persuaded: "Miss, don't worry. We will only stay in Gusu for a while, and then we will leave. These matters will not hinder us."

Lin Huan shook his head and did not speak.How she told them was because she knew that in a few years at most, Lin Ruhai would take up this position.

Now the salt lords in Yangzhou are rampant, and the tea business is not peaceful. The emperor can't tolerate it, but it is not easy to eliminate it. It requires not only capable and courageous confidants, but also patience. I'm afraid there are still many family officials involved, and the roots are intertwined. If they insist on going their own way and recklessly pull them out, not only will they fail to achieve their goals, but they may cause disasters, so they have to be careful step by step, and it will take some time, let alone seven or eight years. It takes five or six years.

So is Lin Ruhai the one who came to Yangzhou with such a heavy burden, only a place as dangerous as Yangzhou?Lin Huan clenched his fists tightly, no matter whether Lin Ruhai will be the censor of salt inspection in this life or not, he must make some preparations in advance, just in case.

Get off the boat and get on the sedan chair, and choose the famous Fulai Inn in Yangzhou city to stay.

In Louya Room, after a few days of sailing, Lin Huan was quite tired, so Lin Huan reclined on the chair, closed his eyes, and rested for a while.Looking at the posture of the crowd, Xiao Er knew that he might be a nobleman in the capital, and now that Yangzhou is full of troubles, he didn't dare to make mistakes, and he also played lightly in the serving room, so he retreated without waiting to stop.

Lin Huan held the chopsticks and was about to grab some food when a group of people rushed in from the downstairs hall, only to hear a man teasingly said: "Beauty, come, give me a drink!"
