Lin Ji's struggling life

The early autumn has arrived, and the weather in Yangzhou is getting cooler. The noon sun in early autumn is still shining on people's skin with some summer heat. The weeds on the banks of the willows are like silk, and the commercial wharf in Yangzhou is busy. The men of the Salt Gang wore short singles and scarves around their necks, shouted slogans, and carried loads of goods on their shoulders. It was very lively.

On the other side, the wharf of the official house was much deserted, and Lin Ruhai stood on the shore, seeing off his son.He didn't say much, and patted Lin Ji's shoulder with his hand, "What should be said is that the father said it last night, go, son."

After more than three months of recuperation, and having a son, Lin Ruhai rejuvenated like a dead tree in spring, her gradually plump cheeks were pink, and her body was finally no longer so thin. She was dressed in a blue-gray sword mang robe, gentle and elegant, and looked strong a lot.

Lin Ji bid farewell to his father, boarded the official boat, stood on the boat and waved, looking at this middle-aged handsome man, a little reluctance emerged in his heart.I haven't had such a feeling for many years, but it is extremely beautiful. Lin Ji feels that he is truly alive, living in this world. He caresses his chest, and maybe he will live a better life.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is very busy, and there are many boats traveling between Yangzhou and Beijing.This official royal road is much safer than other waterways. Sitting on this official ship, the safety is at least [-]% guaranteed.

After settling down on the ship, Lin Ji prepared to spend his life on the ship for more than half a month in the cabin.In fact, taking a boat is not a pleasant experience. It was okay at the beginning, but after a long time, you will find that the scenery is the same. Every day you wander on the boat, shaking your head and getting dizzy.

Lin Ji usually reads in the cabin. This is an official ship, and most of the people on the ship are government servants or people with connections.

Official ships must stop at every station, and there are dignitaries up and down, so there is no doubt that it is safe, but it is only time-consuming.

And Hongling Village, far away at the foot of Changbai Mountain, is a remote mountain village, three hours away from the nearest county seat. There are more than 20 families in the village, with a population of more than a hundred people, all relying on the mountain to live.

The village is surrounded by black and fertile land, which is enough to make ends meet, and there is still some leftovers. The men in the village occasionally go to the mountains to hunt some wild game, and the women pick some wild vegetables in the mountains. There are many hares and pheasants on the mountain. If you are lucky, you may even encounter wild boars.The life of the people living here is still very prosperous, like a paradise.

One of the households was a little different today. A thin little person was packing up her things. She was wearing some loose clothes with a disheveled face. She carefully packed up her house and locked it with a brass lock. The gate was handed over to the senior sister for safekeeping, and he went down the mountain by himself.

A few days ago, she received a letter from her master Feige, asking her to go to Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River to patrol Yan Yushi's mansion to recuperate the Yushi's young daughter.Although she didn't want to leave, and she didn't want to work for the people of the court, but unfortunately she couldn't disobey her master's order, so she had no choice but to pack up her things and go out.

It will take more than a month from here to Yangzhou. Although she is agile and has great lightness skills, she can't break through the distance of space, so she can only hurry on her way.But relying on her skills and unique skills, she didn't join the escort team, but went on her own way.

The speed of the official ship is very stable. After years of development, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has matured the waterway, and the distance of more than 1000 kilometers took about one month to arrive at the pier outside the capital.Lin Dong had sent someone to wait here early, and he could take him home as soon as Lin Ji arrived.

When the boat docked, Lin Ji and most of the people got off the boat before going down.He was wearing a light blue robe with autumn cloud patterns, and a belt with auspicious cloud patterns of the same color as the inner robe around his waist. Under the belt was a purse with black background and gold thread pattern, and a small jade ruyi. Inside the purse were some sweet-scented osmanthus flowers. There is a fragrant ball, and there is a jade ornament with a six-section cloud pattern group next to it.Jin Qiu is slightly hot. He is wearing wooden boots with fragrant shoes, with one hand behind his back. He is straight and elegant, and the image of a handsome young man is pleasing to the eye.

The boy who had been waiting at the pier saw the official ship from a distance and ran back to report the news. Butler Fu was waiting on the shore with his people.

"Master, everything has been arranged at home, please get in the carriage."

Lin Dong followed behind Steward Fu sent by Lin Ruhai, and signaled to Lin Ji with his eyes that their secret arrangements had been made.

"Okay, let's go back first."

Lin Ji looked at the convoy slipping behind Steward Fu, estimated that it should be able to hold the things he brought over, without hesitation, he got into the first carriage and rushed to the Lin family mansion.

Steward Fu brought people to the capital to renovate the original old house. When the next door was for sale, he bought it together to open up.After a simple renovation, you can move in.After the opening, the whole house is a relatively normal size. The house is half-new and not old. The original owner is a bannerman. He became an official and plans to go to other places. It is expensive to sell, but the house is really good, with pavilions and pavilions, unique .Back then, this house was built by the master builder Lei Jin. After the house was completed, it was given to Imakami's elder brother by the house owner. Later, it went through several hands before it arrived at the current Lin family.

Lin Ji looked at the stone lions on both sides of the door, the large forest house on the plaque, and walked in through the open door. After entering a scene, walking along the winding corridors, he saw the first person entering the main house. Leaving the main seat to his father, Lin Ji chose a yard with verdant pine forests and shaded trees, it was a good place.

This house follows the habit of Yangzhou mansions, with plum, orchid, peach and lotus in the inner courtyard, and chrysanthemum, pine, osmanthus, and bamboo in the outer courtyard.Using the name of the academy to control the scenery and the environment respectively, within three months, to be able to clean up to this extent, the ability of Steward Fu cannot be underestimated.

Ruo Liu took people to Songyuan to settle and tidy up, and Lin Ji asked Lin Dong to lead the way to the garden.

"Master, I bought two Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, and one of them brought a small hot spring. As expected, every inch of land in the capital is expensive. It took 3 taels to buy and repair it." Lin Dong was very distressed, [-], You can buy two-thirds more land in Jiangnan, let alone south of Jiangnan. "The original property in Beijing has not been moved, and another Duobao Pavilion has been opened under the name of Prince Yu's Mansion. I have heard about it, and the forces in the capital are intricate. When the emperor has more sons, it will be chaotic. Those All the ministers are intertwined, and there are many people living here, and the whole capital is mixed." Lin Dong is Lin Ji's right-hand man, and he is in charge of these chores on weekdays.

The people left to him by Lin Ji's mother and grandmother have come and gone over the years, and they are almost scattered. Now Xu Dazhi and Lin Bei stay in Suzhou to take care of the property.In Jiangnan, Lin Ji and the people from the Cao Gang jointly set up a fleet to go to sea.The formed industrial chain is now in the hands of Lin Bei and Xu Dazhi.

And Lin Nan is in charge of Zhuangzi in the south of the Yangtze River, and often receives special requests from Lin Ji. The glass made in Lin Xi's workshop has been widely used in Lin Nan's planting business.Now both of them have come to the capital, and Lin Dong has arranged for them to start the construction of Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing.

And Meng Quan went to Duobao Pavilion to be the shopkeeper, and Meng Fu opened a teahouse in the downtown area, where the best place to collect information.

There are probably only so many shopkeepers that Lin Ji can use now.Besides Lin Dong, Ruoliu, and Ping's mother, the ones brought into the Lin family were the four servant girls in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the four servants with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

For the sake of convenience, Lin Dong arranged for four servants who could be used, standing in the southeast, northwest and north of the first generation.Eight servant girls, the second-class Li Zi generation, and the third-class Zi Zi generation.Of course, the wives in charge who came to the capital also arranged to come in. Fusang from Lin Xi's family was in charge of the needlework, and Ban Qian from Lin Nan's family was in charge of the warehouse.

Lin Ji didn't care about the price that Lin Dong said, he admired the autumn scenery in the garden.The scenery of the courtyard is arranged according to the name of the courtyard, and the carvings of the pavilions and pavilions are also mostly matching, and even the furniture is in a variety of colors, which is pleasing to the eye.

When Lin Ji came to the capital this time, he moved his entire family here. In addition to the things he brought to the Lin family, there were also good things he had accumulated over the years.Sunan's house was almost emptied, and even people and belongings were moved to the capital.Because he had a strong premonition that he would hover around the capital for a long, long time.

He comforted the distressed Lin Dong nonchalantly, "It's okay, if you earn money, you have to spend it. Have you found out about the situation of Jia's family?" Lin Ji had just arrived at the Lin family's house and asked Steward Fu to send someone to deliver the post. To go to their door to visit.

He didn't have much impression of the Jia family, but he didn't have a good impression of Dream of the Red Chamber because of his preconceptions.

Of course, when he was in Yangzhou, Jia Min sometimes mentioned the Jia family. Lin Ji was not interested in the members of the Jia family, and knowing the situation in advance was just to know himself and the enemy.For the Jia family, who started their careers with military exploits by entrapping the Han people, their status in the capital was not considered high. Jia Amnesty inherited Jia Daishan's position and became a first-class general.It's a pity that he is rich and honorable, blindly having fun, not doing business, and living a luxurious life.The next generation does not have an outstanding heir, and decline is just around the corner.

Of course, Jia Enhou's name is still useful. After all, he was out in the wind and snow, and nothing happened to him by force. It can be seen that the unity of the four major families is still more useful.

Lin Ji had no intention of doing anything. For this so-called protagonist, he should read his book obediently.He has already planned, after visiting Jia's mansion, he will seriously study at home behind closed doors.

The capital city is a great temptation for Lin Ji, but unfortunately he has not yet got a stepping stone, he should read the book honestly, and everything will come naturally.

The Lin family and the Jia family are all affiliated to the Han Army Banner. Generally, outsiders will call them Lin Jia's and Jia Jia's.And Jia Mu's eldest granddaughter entered the palace as a maid, but she was actually a court lady. Of course, she was a court lady hired by the emperor.

Jia Jia's family Yuanchun officially became the emperor's beauty tonight, and the promotion was so fast, it made everyone dumbfounded inside and outside, and their attitude towards Jia's family became better. Jia's family is bustling.Lin Ji's post was thrown out of the sky by the housekeeper of Jia's house.

Lin Ji couldn't wait for a reply for two days at home, so he had no choice but to ask Steward Fu to write to his father.After that, I didn't wait any longer, but read behind closed doors, thinking hard.

The author has something to say: the writing is a bit off topic, but I like it, and I want to revise all the characters I like~~
