After eating, Yuzhu walked to the pier and took a slow walk to eat.
Lin Yan'er had only walked more than 300 steps with her when she began to pant, which was obviously due to lack of physical strength.
Yuzhu couldn't help but frowned. With such poor physical strength, how could he endure the death of a child in the future?
In order to see Lin Yan'er's true physical strength, Yuzhu deliberately walked around the pier a few more times. Lin Yan'er soon ran out of energy, as if her feet were tied with lead balls, and she could no longer move her legs.
"You, you eat too little and exercise too little. This is not okay. From now on, you will eat in my room, and you can't just take a small bite. After eating, follow me for a walk to eat." Yuzhu Ban
With a straight face, he scolded Lin Yaner.
What could Lin Yan'er say? She had no choice but to bite the bullet and obey.
Sun Chengsi hadn't come back until before going to bed. Yuzhu didn't pay much attention, so he hugged Lin Yan'er and quickly fell asleep.
Sun Chengsi stayed in Yangzhou City for three consecutive days and had a great time. Then he returned to the ship with satisfaction.
When he saw Yuzhu, Sun Chengsi bowed and apologized with embarrassment. It was a big apology.
Yuzhu smiled very understandingly and said: "You and I are both young people. If we don't have fun now, do we have to wait until we grow old and lose our teeth, and we can only look at it and drool?"
Sun Chengsi slapped his thigh fiercely and laughed loudly: "Second Master Yu is indeed a wonderful man, not a sour scholar like that."
This is an era of public fights for fatherhood, and everyone chooses their own path.
Yuzhu chose to study hard and pass the Jinshi examination. The purpose was to get on the rocket of promotion. It was best to master the military power in the capital. He must do something earth-shattering in the later years of Kangxi.
Sun Chengsi is different. Sun Sike's first-class baron has been attacked by Sun Chengyun, and Sun Chengsi doesn't like studying, so he can only hang out like this.
After the fleet left Yangzhou, it soon arrived at the large ship lock at the intersection of the Grand Canal and the Yangtze River.
Because the Admiral of Jiangnan Academic Affairs, He Zichang, is currently in Jurong County, Jiangning Prefecture, presiding over the annual examinations of the scholars.
Sun Chengsi was going to Suzhou and Hangzhou to handle goods, so Yuzhu parted ways with him for the time being.
After the fleet entered the Yangtze River, it sailed directly to Jiangning Prefecture, then passed through the Qinhuai River and transferred to Jurong County.
The Qinhuai River is the main river in the Jiangning region and has been an important natural tributary of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River since ancient times. It has two sources. The east source comes from the Baohua Mountain area in the north of Jurong County, and the south source comes from the Donglu Mountain in the southeast of Lishui County.
However, since the fleet has to pass Jiangning Mansion, Yuzhu must go to the city to meet his elders.
Qingtai, who acted as General Jiangning, was Yuzhu's direct eighth uncle.
In the Tong family, Tong Guowei has eight sons. Among them, Longkodo is the third oldest and Qingtai is the eighth. They are half-brothers.
Qingtai, formerly the deputy commander-in-chief and assistant leader of the Xianglan Banner in Manchuria. After Longkodo became the admiral of the Nine Gates, due to the rule that father and son brothers cannot share military power in the capital, he was transferred to Jiangning and served as Jiangning garrison deputy capital of the Eight Banners' left wing.
system.
Among Longkodo's brothers, he only has a close relationship with his eighth brother Qingtai, and his relationship with the other six brothers is very average.
If Yuzhu dared to pass by without paying homage, it would be tantamount to leaving a big mark of disrespect for his elders. Officials and censors could easily ruin his official career with just a bullet.
Jiangning Mansion is not an ordinary small place. Not only General Jiangning is stationed in the city, but also the Governor of Liangjiang, the Chief Envoy of Anhui and Jiangning Weaving.
Because the entire Jiangnan Province was so large, taxes accounted for more than one-third of the entire Qing Dynasty. During the Shunzhi period, Jiangnan Province was divided into left and right envoys.
In the sixth year of Kangxi's reign, Jiangnan Province was split into Jiangnan Jiangsu Province and Jiangnan Anhui Province, and governors were established respectively. Among them, the Anhui governor was stationed in Anqing and the Jiangsu governor was stationed in Suzhou.
At the same time, the left chief envoy of Jiangnan was changed to the chief envoy of Anhui, who was temporarily stationed in Jiangning and came under the jurisdiction of the governor of Anhui. The right chief envoy of Jiangnan was changed to the chief envoy of Jiangsu, who was stationed in Suzhou and came under the control of the governor of Jiangsu.
However, the Admiral Jiangnan Academic Affairs Bureau is still the same, and he can only run around throughout Jiangnan.
After the official ship docked, a middle-aged man wearing a blue brocade robe came over with a smile on his face and asked loudly: "May I ask, your Majesty, the nobleman on the ship is the Yu Er of Mr. Long San's family in Beijing?"
Master?"
The guard with a knife who was already guarding the springboard immediately raised his head and replied: "It's my second master!"
"Hey, this little guy, Zhao Shan, is the chief steward of General Jiangning's house, Mr. Qingba. On my master's orders, he came to greet Mr. Yu."
After Yuzhu learned the news, he couldn't help but smile. He had already sent someone to take a fast boat to inform Qingtai in advance that he was coming to Jiangning.
Nowadays, it is reasonable for Qingtai to send the chief steward of the mansion to welcome him.
As soon as Yuzhu landed from the ship's deck, Zhao Shan took a few steps forward and bowed his waist to say hello, "Little man Zhao Shan, please be kind to Mr. Yu."
"Get up. How is my eighth uncle's body?" Yuzhu asked Zhao Shan.
Zhao Shan bowed his waist and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Yu, for remembering me. My master's body is very strong. He can pull a three-stone bow and lift a hundred-jin stone lock."
Qingtai was also a military commander and had to work hard every day. His physical condition was much stronger than Long Keduo.
Yuzhu nodded and said with a smile: "My eighth uncle's strong body is also a result of your subordinates. Come and watch."
"Hey." Hanshuang agreed enthusiastically, and ordered the little girls to bring several trays of silver that had been prepared long ago, and rewarded them one by one to the servants and wives brought by Zhao Shan.
Five taels of silver ingots each, everyone who sees them will have a share, and none will be left behind.
For a time, the servants who came with Zhao Shan were all smiling and happy. They knelt down together and thanked Yuzhu for the generous reward.
There is no way, Long Keduo and Li Si'er have made a lot of dirty money over the years, at least several million taels.
This time Yuzhu went to Jiangnan to study, and Li Si'er generously gave him 10,000 taels of cash and 200,000 taels of silver notes.
Not only that, Li Si'er also told Yuzhu privately not to be too petty and don't be afraid of spending money.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that in this era without human rights, corruption and bribery to make money has never been a problem.
The real problem is: being on the wrong team, or knowing too much.
If Yuzhu could deceive Kangxi, he could completely turn things around at the critical moment when Jiulong was seizing the throne. Hey, no matter how much money Li Si'er made, it wouldn't be a big deal.
However, if Longkodo still fell into the trap of fourth elder brother Yinzhen, then even if Li Si'er didn't make half a penny, they would still have to be ruined!
There is no way, Yinzhen is one of the rare mean and unkind people in history, and Longkodo knows too much?
Zhao Shan happily picked up Yuzhu, called his servants and maids, and escorted the convoy back to the general's mansion.
Qingtai is still weak and has neither sons nor daughters. He came to Jiangning to take up his post, and brought his wife, Guarjia, with him.
On the way back to the General's Mansion, Yuzhu suddenly heard the noisy sound of drum music, so he raised the curtains to watch the excitement.
I saw in front of the door of a luxurious mansion, lanterns were decorated, drums and music were playing, and there was a sea of people. It was very lively.
It is impossible for any truly wealthy family in this era to have a plaque on their door that says "Li's House" or "Lu's House".
Seeing the excitement, Yuzhu became a little curious and asked Zhao Shan, who was riding outside the car.
"Old Zhao, whose mansion is this?"
Zhao Shan bowed his hands respectfully on the horse and said: "Go back to Mr. Yu, this is the Jiangning Weaving Cao Mansion. Their house is really extremely wealthy. Mrs. Sun of the Cao Mansion is going to live seventy-five years old. Xiao
I heard that anyone who comes to kowtow in front of the door, even a beggar begging for rice, will be rewarded five hundred big coins."
His implication was very clear. He was envious of the Cao family's wealth, but also felt sour in his heart, feeling that it was too extravagant!
"Oh." Yuzhu understood, Ganqing was Cao Yin's stepmother, and Mrs. Sun was celebrating her birthday.
