[Red Mansion+Qing Chuan] The heroine comes from the last days

Win over officials to do things for him, and made a lot of promises.

But unfortunately, Emperor Kangxi hated party disputes the most.

After going back and forth like this, Wang Ziteng was cut off from his original position, and now he has the title of a minor official and is at home unemployed.

Jiang Ling asked the subordinate again in the dream, how is the situation in Jinling City now.The subordinate official didn't have much experience, so he talked about some bits and pieces, but it was something Jiang Ling knew a long time ago. For example, Jia Lian didn't even attend Jia Baoyu's wedding, and went all the way to Jinling to dispose of the property; Another example is that the Xue family has completely declined, and now they have to completely attach themselves to the Jia and Wang families, like green vines entwining a big tree.But now the two big trees are already crumbling.

There are also gossip that Jia's mother had to put down her face and beg her natal family to carry out activities for the Rongguo Mansion.

Jiamu's natal family is naturally a Jinling historian, and it is also the only family that has been hidden in the past for decades. Although the family background is not inferior to the previous three, or even stronger, they act quite cautiously.And because the historians now have a family of two lords, compared to the withering talents of Xue and Jia, they can be said to be in full swing, at least they can be called rich and prosperous in the 80s.So at this time, even Jia Mu had to go back and beg.

But Jia Mu is really old, and unfortunately she had an illness, her body is much weaker than before, and the Rongguo Mansion is really a puddle of mud, even if she asks the historian, there is nothing wrong too much help.

However, after Lin Daiyu got married, she went back to visit her grandmother several times, which made the old lady look better.

The latter was written by Lin Daiyu to Jiang Ling in a letter, and Lin Daiyu also said that for some reason, when she returned home, her aunt's face suddenly looked better. As in the past, I occasionally asked some strange words.When King Bei Jing accompanied her back home for the first time, Mrs. Wang even kept them overnight, which was so strange.

There was no interleaved page in this letter, so Jiang Ling didn't know if there was a second statement from King Beijing Jing.

but……

With the decline of Rongguo Mansion, Jia's mother had to turn to historians for help.

When Lin Daiyu returned home, Mrs. Wang was uncharacteristically.

Putting these two things together, I feel that something is wrong, as if I want to cling to the big tree of King Jingjing.

Jiang Ling mentioned it cryptically in his reply, but he didn't say it explicitly, and he also attached some banknotes in the letter, saying that he wanted to do his best.She knew that after the disbandment of the Rongguo Mansion, most of the maids in the mansion were not doing well, so she thought that she could help out a little.The last time Yuanyang wanted to seek death, it was Xueyan who rescued her by dragging her to death, and insisted on paying ten times the ransom money to force Rongguo Mansion to release her.According to the daughter-in-law in charge of the mansion, if it weren't for the fact that the mansion is really stretched, it might not be released.

After Jiang Ling found out, he secretly rejoiced for a long time.

Now Rongguo Mansion is no different from ordinary wealthy families.The original kind of colorful flowers has almost disappeared.

But according to Jiang Ling's knowledge, this matter must not be over yet. The masters of the Rong and Ning mansions can consume all the accumulation in the mansion if they are not careful. Quite few, and most of them have not yet reached the most miserable time.

I hope that when the time comes, they will not implicate Lin Daiyu because of this.

After another half a month, Jiang Ling finally heard the news that the dust had settled.

Kangxi cleaned up Yangzhou City up and down, and because the emperor himself was in charge, it was much more convenient to do it.Although Yangzhou is still calm on the surface, in the dark, it has been turned upside down several times.During this time, Manager Liang was so busy that no one was seen. It was said that just delivering the decree was about to break both of his legs.

On the contrary, Jiang Ling lived in peace and stability for a period of time, except that every two or three days, he had to see the wives of rich merchants, and every three to five days, he had to see the wives of Yangzhou city officials, to serve Kangxi. I made a few indirect remarks, but it's not a big deal.

As for those Nanyang merchants who worried Jiang Ling for a long time, some of them were sent back by Kangxi, and some, together with those envoys from unknown countries, stayed in Yangzhou City to continue discussions. Goods exchange agreement.

But at the very least, the regulations prohibiting the entry of poppies and opium have been sent to Jiangnan and Lingnan.

Things seemed to be getting better and clearer day by day.At the beginning, Jiang Ling was a little worried about whether Kangxi would reset the sea ban or prevent poppies from entering the country, but now it seems that he was worrying too much.

Another scorching summer day, another torrential rain.

Jiang Ling had someone set up a swing under the shade of a tree, and let the maids push her to swing slowly.The air after the rain is quite fresh, and it is a great enjoyment to close your eyes and shake slowly.Suddenly, for some unknown reason, the surroundings suddenly became quite quiet, even the maid who was pushing the swing paused for a moment, and then tremblingly, continued to push her forward.

Jiang Ling opened her eyes, turned around and looked, and she saw Kangxi standing in the sunlight, looking at her quietly.

These days, especially when he arrived in Yangzhou City, he would come to see her every lunch break. It is said that he was tired and wanted her to talk with him.Jiang Ling got down from the swing, blissed himself a little, and when he got up again, he realized that everyone around him had gone away.

Kangxi smiled, walked up to her, held her in his arms, and asked in a low voice, "How are you today?"

The summer sun was slightly dazzling, and the exquisite embroidery on the dragon robe was only half an inch away from her, and there seemed to be a faint scent of ambergris.She leaned against Kangxi's arms, closed her eyes, and smiled softly, "Naturally it's excellent."

Kangxi also smiled, brushed her cheek with the back of his finger, and asked, "Are you tired?"

Jiang Ling shook his head.Apart from chatting with those wives and wives every day, trying out some things, and asking the wife of the Nanyang merchant what kind of goods her husband has on board, there is nothing else to do.Really can not be called tired.

Kangxi looked down at her, the trace of irritability that was left behind gradually dissipated, and there was a little tenderness in his eyes: "In two days, I will take you to the south to see the sea, okay?"

Jiang Ling was a little surprised, looked up at Kangxi slightly, and then went to the south?

Further south is Hangzhou. Is Kangxi going to Hangzhou?

She asked this question unknowingly, and Kangxi shook his head and smiled, "It's not Hangzhou, we have to go further south. I want to go to Fujian to see if the things I told them before have been done. Then If there is, go to Guangzhou."

Jiang Ling was completely surprised this time, let alone Fujian, Guangzhou?Lingnan?

In her memory, Emperor Kangxi had never traveled so far during his southern tour.

Xu Shi saw her thoughts, Kangxi smiled and said: "There are still some things that I have to do personally. Although it is really hot in the south, it should be cooler in autumn." And those envoys really It's a headache.

Jiang Ling was stunned for a long time before he murmured: "But Guangzhou - that's a place where the vegetation is always green in winter, the flowers are blooming in the Spring Festival, it doesn't snow all year round, and you rarely see fallen leaves." Going in autumn, he was sure Won't it be hotter than here?

Kangxi was stunned for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "It should be so."

Jiang Ling caressed his forehead.

Should she ask Kangxi to prepare more ice cubes?

Jiang Ling blinked, wondering if he should tell him about it.But the problem is, she shouldn't know about Lingnan at all.A little girl who grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, traveled to Sichuan, and finally lived in the capital for several years should not know these details.

So Jiang Ling felt worried, thinking whether he should remind Kangxi from his dream that the climate in Lingnan was extremely hot.

Kangxi looked down at Jiang Ling for a long time, nodded her cheek with a smile, and said, "I'm back to my senses."

Jiang Ling was stunned, and suddenly realized that she was still in Kangxi's arms, couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, and struggled slightly.Kangxi was caught off guard, and she broke free.However, he squeezed her lightly, then pulled her back into his arms, hugged her waist and said with a smile: "There are no idlers here."

When he came in just now, he had already let them all leave.

Jiang Ling was embarrassed again, but this time he behaved well and let the person behind him hug him.

Kangxi laughed softly again, looked up at the glare of the sun, and continued: "This time the southern tour is a bit long, I let some people go back to Beijing first, and then replaced others. When you see that the people around you have changed, don’t make a fuss.”

By the way, I can exchange the news here with those in the capital. After all, there are still a few university scholars in the capital, and the empress dowager is in charge.

Jiang Ling was well aware of these things, but she didn't show it at all, and said with a smile: "It should be so." Originally, according to the logic, Kangxi didn't need to say these things to her.

Kangxi smiled, and continued: "But when we get to Lingnan, I'm afraid I'll bother you to ask them again. I really don't know if those elected officials have done too much stereotyped essays or not. Or if you don’t read enough miscellaneous books, but you don’t know what to ask, it’s better that you know more. Tell me, are you a blessing bestowed on me by the heavens?”

Although it was half-joking, the tone was serious.

Jiang Ling murmured: "What are you talking about, Your Majesty?" But secretly wondering if she was really showing her sharpness too much.

But Kangxi laughed and said: "I think so deeply. The things about the Western and Southern Oceans are difficult to understand, and they are not orthodox. There are very few people who know them well. I used to learn from a few missionaries who were also my teachers. , I heard some from them. But now it seems that you really know more. Tell me, are you my blessing?" Then she attached to her ear, with a very light and slightly raised In the same tone, he said another word: "Huh?"

Jiang Ling was even more embarrassed by him, but it was difficult to explain, so he could only answer vaguely.

Kangxi couldn't help laughing at her appearance, knowing that the girl was thin-skinned, he stopped teasing her, but changed his posture so that she was facing him, and said in a low voice: "No matter what, you should take care of this matter." The first merit." He has always been an emperor who clearly rewards and punishes.

Jiang Ling looked aside: "Then, what does the emperor want to do?"

Kangxi looked at her for a long time, until her eyes started to look around, and the roots of her ears were faintly red, then she let out a muffled low laugh.The voice was not loud, but in Jiang Ling's ears, it made her feel itchy and wanted to pinch him.

Kangxi let go of her hand one step earlier, and said casually: "I haven't made up my mind yet."

you--

Jiang Ling wanted to laugh, but even more wanted to stomp him hard.

Kangxi laughed a few times, then patted her on the shoulder reassuringly, and said, "Don't worry, I will give you an explanation when I think it over. Go back and sleep for a while. There is a banquet tonight and I need you to attend it. As always, try to see if you can ask something."

Jiang Ling restrained his expression a little and said hello.

Then Kangxi told her some more words and left.When his figure completely disappeared from sight, the maids who left just now gathered together again and slowly rocked the swing for Jiang Ling.Jiang Ling remembered how he looked just now, and his eyes started to look around again.

If Kangxi hadn't lied to her just now, tonight should be the last social gathering.

But I don't know what words to ask from them.
