That night, in the Lin Mansion, the lights in the main room stayed on until late at night.
After Jia Lian washed up, he did not go to bed. Instead, he put on his big cloak and sat alone at the table, concentrating on his homework.
He came to Suzhou for two things.
One is to send Cornus to the Concubine Tianfei in Gusu to see her mother; the other is to go to "Heshan Academy" to meet the legendary scholar Mr., and discuss inviting famous teachers to the Jia Family School in the capital to open a branch of "Heshan Academy"
Things.
Although he carries an autographed letter from Lin Ruhai, Mr. Shuyou always wants to give him some face, but after all, Jia Lian has never been good at studying. Now that he is going to meet a well-known scholar in the world, he naturally has to read books and prepare more.
Respect for others.
When you meet someone, you have to say something.
This is not sophistication and hypocrisy, but for smooth communication. Only by understanding each other can we have the opportunity to be honest with each other.
Otherwise, it is a waste of time, emotions, and saliva, which is of no use.
For example, in Jia Lian's previous life, many people would argue, pinch, or tear each other online. The reason was that they read too little and spoke not for the purpose of communication. That kind of venting expression was just to waste spit.
.
In the room next door, Qingwen and Zhuyu were sitting on the bed surrounded by quilts, communicating in low voices.
The way of communication between girls often relies on sharing.
Share each other’s snacks and small items, share each other’s clothes and jewelry, share each other’s emotions, and share each other’s private secrets.
The more you share, the closer you become, and once you share, you will be there day and night.
The two of them had already shared a lot along the way, but when they finally arrived in Suzhou, they both wanted to see their relatives, but they were both looking forward to it and afraid, so they needed to rely on sharing to ease their worries.
Pressure.
.
After the third watch, Jia Lian closed his book, stretched, and was about to get up to go to bed when he heard Li'er knocking gently on the door:
"Second Master, I have something to report."
It is definitely not a good thing to say something like this in the middle of the night.
Sure enough, Li'er came to report to Jia Lian that since they got off the boat and boarded the car, there was a "tail" secretly following them.
As night fell, several unknown figures appeared around, secretly watching the Lin Mansion.
Fa'er pretended to go out to buy a bowl of wontons, and Cai'er pretended to go to the river to clean his shoes, but they both realized that someone was following them and monitoring their every move.
Li'er and the others are all masters of the "Chaofeng Division", and they always do things neatly and neatly. Now they came to Jia Lian to report, and of course the results have been found out:
"These people take turns staring at us. They are all sent from the prefect's yamen.
The younger one has already visited the prefect’s Yamen. The prefect Shuyu and the master are always waiting for these people to report our every move."
"The prefect of Gusu sent someone to keep an eye on me?" Jia Lian was a little confused.
Before he set off from Yangzhou, he had already learned from his chat with Lin Ruhai that Shuyu, the current prefect of Gusu, was the son-in-law of the chief steward of King Beijing.
I have no quarrel with King Beijing, and I don’t even know Shuyu. Why is he staring at me so hard?
Li'er was a little hesitant, but still whispered:
"I'm just worried, their target is Princess Zhuyu."
"Oh." Jia Lian responded, feeling relieved.
If they are after Cornelius, they are doomed - there are four masters from the "Chaofeng Division" here, who can make you, the prefect of Gusu, die eight times without repeating the same thing.
As for the reason why the prefect of Gusu wanted to follow Juyu, Jia Lian didn't care even more - it was better for him not to know what was going on.
After all, it involves palace secrets, which sounds very exciting.
The problem is that it's so exciting that it kills him.
It’s okay to gossip, but it must be in moderation.
.
So Jia Lian immediately raised his voice deliberately:
"What? If they follow us so closely, it will be difficult for us to go out in the future."
"Who said it can't be done?" Zhuyu, who was in the back room, immediately heard the sound and came out, "Who is so bold and dares to follow us? Master Zhuyu told him to understand how much he weighs!"
On the way out of Yangzhou, Cornus officinalis has been listless, especially after getting off the ship today, she looked like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Jia Lian wanted to persuade her to coax her, but he also understood that since he didn't know what happened between her mother and the emperor, he naturally didn't know why she came to see her mother, so even trying to persuade her couldn't do much. p>
When Li'er came to report that someone was following him, Jia Lian immediately decided to use this matter to distract Zhuyu.
As soon as Jia Lian takes action, Dogwood will bite the hook.
Sure enough, "retarded children have more joy".
Jia Lian frowned further and said:
"Easy to handle? It's easy for you to say.
It would be fine if they are people in the Jianghu, but they are all officials in the Yamen. Is it possible that I should be asked to come forward and confront them head-on?"
"The little master who lifts the bar" Dogwood will lift every bar:
"Why do you have to come forward?
Why do we have to go head-to-head?
Do you know that Mr. Zhuyu has many tricks?
If I don’t let them know who I am, I’ll torture them all to death.”
Jia Lian continued to retreat in order to advance, shaking his head repeatedly:
"Forget it.
Do you know how many people they have outside are staring at this place?
Do you know what they look like in disguise?
We are in the light and they are in the dark, which is very detrimental to us.
You'd better stop causing trouble for me. Why don't I send a message to the prefect of Gusu tomorrow to see if he is willing to pay my debt."
The more you want Dogwood to do something, the harder you have to suppress it. Just don't let her do anything, and she will definitely "rise to the challenge".
"You look down on Mr. Zhuyu's ability?
Disguise? Who else can do this better than ‘Chaofengsi’?
Let me tell you, I have been playing in the "Chaofeng Division" since I was a child, and I know all four of their skills.
Anyway, it’s not the day yet. I’ve been bored and bored these days. No matter how many people they come, I can’t kill them!”
.
Hehe, this is possible.
Since the prefect of Gusu took action first, you are asking for trouble.
Jia Lian originally did not want to provoke the people of King Beijing. After all, he had no political purpose in coming to Susu.
I have already destroyed the Yanzheng Zhen family in Yangzhou, crippled eight major salt merchants, and brought back more than ten million taels of silver. As soon as Lin Ruhai's memorial was announced, I am afraid that there was already a sigh of relief in the capital. p>
The Lianghuai Salt Service, which the emperor had been unable to get rid of for a long time, was beaten hard by Jia Lian in one fell swoop. The hole in the imperial purse was filled, and there was money for disaster relief, military supplies, and river construction.
This kind of credit is enough. There is no need to go to Suzhou to work extra hours.
You should relax when you should, why bother curling up like this?
You were rolled to death in your previous life, why don't you live a more leisurely life in this life?
A wise man speaks and a fool uses his hands.
So, let Juyu take action. Just find something for her to do, or else she will go shopping all the time.
What's more, it's so troublesome to have these people following you all the time. This tail has to be cut off by Dogwood.
.
Early the next morning, six identical Jia Lians came out of the Lin Mansion at the same time and strolled away in six different directions, leaving everyone around them stunned.
So there was a rumor that Lin's mansion was haunted.
