The King's Mansion of Chu is located in the east of the city. It has a large scale of buildings, five majestic gates, seven main halls, five apse halls, double palace gates, countless pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings. It is the first-class palace in Yangzhou City. One mansion.Although the auxiliary house of the Yanzheng Yamen has three courtyards, it is not too small, but compared with the Chu Palace, it is a humble room compared to the Huating, which is not eye-catching.

However, even though Wu Jun was willing to live with Daiyu in the allotment house of the Yanzheng Yamen, he was unwilling to live in the palace.

Forced by his son to be helpless, the King of Chu had no choice but to repeat the old tricks. He found out who lived next to the Yanzheng Yamen, bought the house and land, and reorganized it himself.So Daiyu had to fall asleep listening to the sounds of tinkling around her every day.

That's right, around, not left or right.

This time, the king of Chu simply bought the houses and fields around and behind the Yanzheng Yamen, and wanted to build a big courtyard.The specific area is about the size of three Yanzheng Yamen, and the Yanzheng Yamen is half surrounded. If there is a road in front of the main Yamen, I am afraid that it is not half surrounded but completely surrounded.

Daiyu couldn't help but sigh secretly, the Chu Palace is really rich and powerful, and it deserves to be the local emperor in the south of the Yangtze River.

As soon as Lin Ruhai arrived in Yangzhou City, he quickly got busy.First, familiarize yourself with the various procedures and inspect the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Envoy; then distribute salt quotations, check the accounts of the salt department, and balance the relationship between the general merchants.Being overwhelmed at the moment, busier than when she was in the capital, Daiyu may not be able to see him for three to five days.It was finally my turn to rest and take a bath once every ten days, so I had time to visit my daughter.

Daiyu was hugged in her arms, and put her arms around Lin Ruhai's neck and acted like a baby: "Daddy hasn't come to see my daughter for a long time, and she misses you." Although she is no longer a child, she enjoys the feeling of being loved by her parents very much. In front of her parents, no matter how old she is, she feels that she is still a child, and she can still be willful. This feeling is really intoxicating.

Lin Ruhai only felt that these words had reached his heart, hugging his soft daughter, he was so happy that his heart was about to melt.At this time, no matter what the daughter asks, he will agree unconditionally, even if the daughter says that Daddy, you don't want to be an official anymore, and will be with her every day in the future, I am afraid that he will nod.

"Good girl, have you been good these days?" He asked, touching his daughter's small face with his forehead.

Daiyu couldn't help "giggling", and Lin Ruhai couldn't help laughing as the soft, milky voice fell into Lin Ruhai's ears.

"Daddy, look." Daiyu stretched out her hand, and she let go of her small fist while speaking. Inside lay a straw grasshopper, which was so delicately woven that it seemed real.

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "It's a grasshopper, who made it up for you?"

Daiyu said, "Brother Jun made it up."

Lin Ruhai looked at Wu Jun, who was sitting obediently on the side, and was a little surprised: "Can Xiao Shizi make up this?" How can a four-year-old child have such dexterous hands?

Wu Jun didn't say a word, and Daiyu replied on his behalf: "I watched Brother Jun make it up with my own eyes."

Lin Ruhai glanced at Wu Jun again, and said, "It's amazing."

"Is Daddy not busy today?" Daiyu asked, tilting her head.

Lin Ruhai then put aside the matter of the grasshopper for the time being, and said, "I'm taking a rest today, so there's no need to go to the front office."

Daiyu's eyes flickered, and she took the opportunity to act like a spoiled child and begged Lin Ruhai to take her and Wu Jun out to play.Lin Ruhai couldn't resist her daughter's temptation to be cute, so she took Daiyu, Wu Jun and four servants out in a sedan chair.Coincidentally, this day is the time of the market, not far from the gate of the yamen, I saw many people coming and going, some wandering with their hands behind their hands, some carrying burdens to sell, and many people even set up tables and tables with a lot of odds and ends. Item sales.

Daiyu has lived in a deep boudoir for a long time, and she sees everything new. She stares at the small stalls one by one.There were so many people on the road, Lin Ruhai was afraid that Daiyu and Wu Jun would get separated, so he didn't dare to let go of their wrists for a moment. Even though the bosses of Daiyu and Wu Jun were unhappy, he would not compromise.

Lin Ruhai has experienced the world for a long time, and knows that although it is a peaceful and prosperous world today, it may not be peaceful outside.Especially when there are many people in the market like this, there is a kidnapper who mixes in the crowd to stare at children of a few years old, abducts them while the adults are not paying attention, and transports them to other places for sale.Most of those kidnappers are treacherous and cunning, and they have developed a set of insidious and cunning tricks in the market for many years, killing people invisible, even if adults are watching, it is not very safe.If you really follow that way, your child's life will be ruined.

"Candied haws, sour and sweet candied haws!" A gray-haired old man came yelling.

Daiyu's eyeballs lit up, and she looked up at Lin Ruhai.

"Want to eat?" Lin Ruhai bowed and asked with a smile.

Daiyu nodded heavily.

The old man was also alert, so he stopped when he saw this, and said: "Master, buy a string for Miss, it's not much, five yuan a string."

Lin Ruhai frowned when he heard that five cents were a string.Such a cheap thing, I don’t know if it’s clean or not. Daiyu and Wu Jun grew up rich and well-clothed. Where did they eat outside food? Distressed.

Daiyu shook Lin Ruhai's hand, and called out: "Daddy." She had eaten this kind of street food when she was still Lan Daiyu, and it was really delicious.Since I came to this era, I haven't eaten it for many years. It's okay to not see it on weekdays, but I can't stop it when I see the glutton in my stomach.

Looking at her daughter's expectant eyes, Lin Ruhai sighed and said, "Old man, please bring me a bunch."

The old man nodded and bowed and handed Lin Ruhai a bunch, and said: "Master, let me buy a bunch for you too."

Lin Ruhai originally thought of buying a bunch of skewers for the two children, just coaxing them and forgetting about it. After all, I don't know if this food is clean or not, and if I eat it, it will cause stomach upset.Unexpectedly, the old man took another bunch and handed it to Wu Jun, but Wu Jun still took it.

Lin Ruhai couldn't say anything more, and ordered the boy to count fifty copper coins to the old man. It's not easy for such an old man.

The old man was overjoyed, and took the money with gratitude.

For a moment, the merchants on both sides looked at Lin Ruhai with straight eyes, and a few boldly asked Lin Ruhai if he wanted to buy something from their own house.These are all young and strong people with hands and feet. Seeing that he was generous and sympathetic to the poor and the elderly, he thought he was being taken advantage of and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity. Let's open the way, those people know that he is either rich or expensive and not easy to provoke, so naturally they dare not stop him.

Walked all the way to a tea house, and looked inside, it was clean and elegant, with a few scholars in Confucian robes and scarves sitting.

"Let's go in and have a rest." Lin Ruhai walked in with Daiyu and Wu Jun after speaking, and sat down in a clean seat.

The waiter warmly greeted him and asked what kind of tea he would like to have.Lin Ruhai said the name of a tea, and gave him an ingot of broken silver, ordering it to be brewed.A few scholars at the table next to them are linking poems, you and me, it's so lively.Sitting at the table further ahead was a man in a plain robe, looking about forty years old, with a goatee, elegant and gentle, with the air of a person in the officialdom.

When Lin Ruhai looked at him, he just raised his eyes to look at Lin Ruhai.

The eyes of the two met, and after a while, they couldn't help but smile politely, and cupped their hands at each other.

Daiyu followed Lin Ruhai's gaze, couldn't help but startled, and thought to herself, why is it him? !

Daiyu knew this person, and even had contact with him for a while.He is Jia Yucun, Daiyu's teacher in Yangzhou in her previous life.He was born as a Jinshi, so it goes without saying that he was knowledgeable. Back then, he was able to be hired by Lin Ruhai as his daughter's teacher, so he was naturally very talented.But it's just that he is good at learning, but he is not kind when he is an official, and he is not very good as a person.

The reason for saying this is not that Daiyu disrespected the teacher, but that the things he did were really unrespectable.

It was just a book that he taught her for a year by accident, and later he spread everywhere how his father respected him, in order to make friends with noble scholars and ruin his father's reputation. The fact of beating people to death was to please the Wang and Jia families; they were ruined because of a few fans;

This is what she heard later, and I don’t know how many people haven’t heard of it.

What made Daiyu hate him the most was that in order to please Prince Jin, he went to Jia's mansion to be a matchmaker and asked her a dignified official daughter to be a concubine.

In this life, she will never want Jia Yucun to be her teacher again!

A few scholars next to me were still linking poems, and it was the turn of a person in dark green clothes to say that he scratched his head and thought for a long time, and when he said one sentence, the rest of them clapped their hands and shouted: "Wonderful, wonderful! When this sentence comes out, we all It can't be right."

Jia Yucun took a sip of tea lightly, twirled his beard, and read aloud.

For a moment, those scholars were stunned, and after a while, one of them clapped their hands and said: "Okay, okay, better, better, more neat than the sentence just now, and the artistic conception is far-reaching."

The few people next to him reacted, and they all praised him very much.

They all cupped their hands and said, "Dare to ask Mr. Gao's name, where did you get a job?"

Jia Yucun smiled lightly, rubbing his hand on the twig flower cover bowl, and said humbly: "A small name is not worth mentioning, and there are wild crane ears in the world." After speaking, he stood up, flicked his cuffs, and left an ingot of broken silver to grow. and go.

Lin Ruhai twirled his beard and nodded with a smile, and Daiyu's heart rang alarm bells.My father always likes to make friends with scholars, especially those who have real talents and real learning. Today, Jia Yucun is acting like a wild crane and a scholar in the mountains, which left a deep impression on my father.In case someone recommends him one day, or if he takes a letter of invitation and submits it to Xunyan Yushi's family, I'm afraid that my father will keep this person.

This is not very good, Daiyu secretly thought, she must find a way to let her father know his true face.

While deep in thought, Lin Ruhai touched her face and said, "It's time to go back, if you don't go back, your mother will be in a hurry."

Daiyu held up the half-gnawed candied haws and raised her head, her little milk said crisply, "Daddy, I don't want to eat, it's sour."

Lin Ruhai didn't want her daughter to eat it, but she held back because she was afraid that her daughter would not want to eat it. Now that she said she didn't want to eat it, she couldn't wish for it. He quickly took the candied haws and handed it to a servant, saying: "If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it." It’s not good, so I’ll eat it less in the future.”

He looked at Wu Jun again, and wanted to say that you shouldn't eat it, who knows if you don't look at it, you don't know, it was a little surprised when you saw it, Wu Jun had already gnawed all the candied haws, and there was only a bare stick left.Lin Ruhai's brows twitched, feeling a little tricky, if the little ancestor's stomach was eaten up, I don't know if Prince Chu will kill him in the Yanzheng Yamen tomorrow to question him.But it's already like this, and there is no other way to redeem it, I can only hope that this little prince's stomach is strong enough, and don't do anything foolish.

Taking the stick from Wu Jun's hand, Lin Ruhai handed it to the servant next to him, got up and took Daiyu, and wanted to lead Wu Jun, but Wu Jun snatched it away in a flash, circled more than half a circle behind him, and walked around to the Daiyu's side, holding Daiyu's hand.

Lin Ruhai's brows twitched uncontrollably, and a sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart, is this little prince too clingy to his daughter.Thinking of what her wife mentioned, Princess Chu vaguely revealed that she would have a daughter for Xiao Shizi in the future, and looking at Wu Jun, she felt that he had malicious intentions, and wanted to occupy other people's girls at a young age.

Suddenly, a rough voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Xiao Er, serve the best tea, our master eats well, and you will be rewarded a lot!" A man in a blue-colored lake silk plain robe barged in, drank loudly, threw out a heavy silver ingot, and took He glanced around the lobby, showing a slightly disgusted look.

Judging from his attire, he didn't look like a servant, and the quality of the clothes on his body was even far superior to that of an ordinary squire.But since he said that the master eats well and is rewarded, he is clearly a servant again.Etiquette pays attention to the order of respect and inferiority. If it is not a servant, no one will lower their status and call others master.

Even the servants are dressed so gorgeously, so one does not know how rich his master is.

The waiter took the silver ingot, smiled and wiped the table and waited attentively.

All the people in the room subconsciously looked at the open door. First came in four brocade-clothed young men, standing in two lines, then came in four women, and then came in a ten-year-old man covered in silk. A very fat boy with flesh on his face and almost invisible eyes, he turned around and shouted: "It's very clean inside, sister, come in quickly."

Hearing a promise from outside, two servant girls came in surrounded by a girl.

Daiyu was startled, and thought to herself, why did she also come to Yangzhou?
