Sun Chengsi took a sip of tea and endured it again and again. He couldn't help but said: "Brother, you ignored the smooth path of becoming an official due to your kindness and chose the narrow road of imperial examination and becoming an official. Sun Mou most admires someone as talented as you in his life."
A good and ambitious man."
Yuzhu smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, the main reason is that I can still sit still and study. In addition, I can climb better and faster than Enyin by taking the imperial examination, let alone the distance.
, let’s just say Nian Gengyao under the banner of the Han Army. He has only been a Jinshi for less than five years, and he has already become a bachelor of the cabinet from the fourth rank."
Sun Chengsi nodded frequently and said, "Brother, what you said makes sense, very much."
Sun Chengyun put down the tea cup in his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, since you two hit it off, wouldn't I be superfluous?"
Yuzhu pursed her lips and smiled, jokingly: "You are brothers, I'm afraid I'm redundant, right?"
The three of them laughed together.
Real good friends don't actually need to be together for a long time. When fate comes, they will naturally connect with each other.
After all the sundries were loaded onto the boat, Lin Yaner led her uncle Zhang Sheng to thank Yuzhu for saving his life.
When Zhang Sheng saw Yuzhu, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times, unable to stop him.
"The villain Zhang Sheng, thank you so much for saving my life. I haven't read any books, and I'm a rough guy. Let's just say it straight. Although the villain wants money but doesn't have money, and wants power but doesn't have authority, he only has one life.
However, as long as the second master is of use to the villain, the villain will go through fire and water without hesitation." Zhang Sheng has an upright temperament, and he speaks very straightforwardly.
However, Yuzhu also liked the upright temperament. He smiled and waved his hands: "Get up quickly and stop kneeling. Since you are Yan'er's biological uncle, then we are not outsiders. In the future, what will be the problem?
If you have anything to do, feel free to come to me. However, I’ll put the bad words first, and I’ll try my best to help you if I can. If you really can’t help, don’t blame me.”
Zhang Sheng was overjoyed, and in a panic, he kowtowed three times and said in a trembling voice: "I will follow you from now on. If you tell me to go east, I will never dare to go west."
Sun Chengyun, who had been watching with a cold eye, saw clearly that Zhang Sheng was not completely upright, and still had a businessman-like cunning.
But, then again, since Lin Yan'er is Yu Zhu's eldest daughter-in-law, it is only human nature for her direct uncle to take the opportunity to get close to Yu Zhu.
Yuzhu smiled slightly and glanced at Lin Yan'er, who had her head lowered. Zhang Sheng's speech was probably taught by her in private.
This man is afraid of the young lady’s body and the maid’s life!
Since Lin Yan'er accepted her fate and followed Yu Zhu willingly, Yu Zhu naturally didn't mind giving Zhang Sheng a thumbs up.
"What are your plans for leaving the city this time?" Yuzhu asked, and Lin Yaner was immediately overjoyed. She raised her head and winked at Zhang Sheng frequently, trying to get him to climb up the pole.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Sheng went too far and actually told the truth.
"When I return to the Second Master, I plan to go to Yangzhou and Suzhou to buy some tea, silk, cotton and other goods."
Although Zhang Sheng is a businessman, he is also a relatively honest type of businessman. It is no wonder that the soldiers guarding the gate were watching him in front of Chaoyang Gate.
"Since you are on your way, just go south with my boat." Yuzhu thought for a while and then said, "The boat you hired will follow our official boat. When you get to Yangzhou, you can take your own boat.
work."
Yuzhu thought so thoughtfully that Zhang Sheng had nothing to say, and after thanking him happily, he left.
I have to say goodbye after seeing you for thousands of miles.
Before Yuzhu boarded the ship, Sun Chengyun took his hand, patted the back of his hand gently, and reminded him: "Don't miss this year's autumn. Hehe, a fifteen-year-old Manchu scholar, a member of the imperial court
The first one since Zhaoji, but the money is precious."
Sun Chengyun winked, obviously implying that the jade pillar, an auspicious omen, could take advantage of Kangxi.
Yuzhu nodded heavily and said with a smile: "Brother Sun, don't worry, I will be back in mid-July."
"Bon Voyage."
"Take care."
Yuzhu and Sun Chengyun waved goodbye and boarded the ship to go south.
Entering the cabin, Yuzhu looked around. Well, the First Baron's official ship was quite spacious. There were a total of five rooms on the second floor, one large and four small.
The largest cabin must belong to Yuzhu. Yuzhu ordered that Lin Yaner, Hanshuang and Hanxue each have a small room. Wu Jiang and Wu Sheng share a room.
The only servants brought by Yuzhu were the chief steward Hu Biao and a few confidants who were guarding the palace with swords. They lived on the first floor. The stairs were tightly guarded and no one was allowed to go upstairs without Yuzhu's summons.
The rest of the guards, armed with swords, guarded the courtyard, and the maids and women, led by the second steward Liu Wu, all boarded the boats at the back.
After the official ship set sail from Tongzhou Pier, it sailed eastward along the river without any obstruction.
The civilian ships or merchant ships encountered along the way took the initiative to move aside without shouting, allowing the official ship on which Yuzhu was riding to go first.
Yuzhu stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sigh softly, and became more determined to become an official.
The people's hearts are like iron, and the official laws are like furnaces. In times of peace, the people will be afraid of officials.
"Second Master, are you thirsty?" Lin Yaner hesitated again and again, and finally walked to Yuzhu's side and asked him in a low voice.
Hanshuang, who was half a beat late, was about to explode with anger. Lin Yaner, such a coquettish person, actually took away her share of the work. Isn't it too bullying?
Yuzhu turned his head and glanced at Lin Yan'er, who was gentle and carefree. He couldn't help but smile and said, "I only drink warm tea."
Lin Yaner's morale was boosted by Yuzhu's encouragement. She quickly walked to the round table and took out the teapot that Hanshuang had prepared from the thermal bucket.
Out of caution, Lin Yan'er poured a cup first, took a sip and found that it was indeed warm tea, and then poured another cup for Yuzhu.
Lin Yan'er put the tea cup on the tea tray, held the tea tray with both hands, and handed it to Yu Zhu's hand respectfully.
"Second Master, would you like to take a few sips of warm tea to moisten your throat?"
Yuzhu took the teacup and took a sip. Well, what Lin Yaner said in Wenhaofu was completely different from Hanshuang.
Although Hanshuang is smart, she is illiterate and cannot read a few characters. When she serves tea, she can only say dryly, "Second Master, here comes the tea."
Hehe, educated women are just different.
During dinner, Sun Chengsi was drinking wine with his maidservant in the cabin below and did not come up.
Yuzhu sat eating, while Hanshuang and Lin Yaner stood on each side, rushing to pick up food for him.
Competition is naturally a good thing, and Yuzhu doesn't mind the benign behavior of the girls around him.
There is no way, this is an era without human rights. Yuzhu's favor is crucial to both Hanshuang and Lin Yaner.
However, Hanshuang has been serving Yuzhu for a long time, and she is very familiar with Yu Erye's eating habits, and she always serves his favorite dishes.
Lin Yan'er arrived here for the first time, and as soon as her eyes darkened, she felt a little overwhelmed.
Yuzhu is not picky about food. When he eats, he will use two chopsticks for all dishes on the table, whether meat or vegetable.
As a result, Lin Yaner had a headache when she secretly observed. She was not sure what Yuzhu liked to eat.
However, Lin Yan'er soon noticed that Yuzhu always took two more bites of Hanshuang's dishes.
After dinner, Lin Yaner's number of times she picked the right dishes had improved significantly, which made Hanshuang even more unhappy.
