Chapter 2 The icing on the cake

(Second update, it’s early in the morning, where is the red ticket?) The Gu family has an heir, and the new uncle cannot stay in the house overnight... The house Lin Fu bought in Jiangning City two years ago is still there. It is him

In his private business in Jiangning, he led Zhao Hu and other close escorts to live in Jiyun Residence in Dustpan Lane...

com

Jiyunju is no longer the original scale. Lin Fu bought all the three houses in the south of Jiyunju and turned it into a deep house compound covering an area of ​​six or seven acres.

The size of the house is secondary. The key is that it is the same as the Baiyuan where Su Mei lived. They are separated by a courtyard wall and a secret door.

Usually, blind man Zhou is asked to bring some good people to live here in the mansion, just in case Su Mei is in urgent need of the fourth lady... Only Zhao Hu and blind man Zhou are allowed to follow. Lin Fu goes through the secret door to Baiyuan, and the fourth lady is early.

Waiting in the garden, when he saw Lin Fu and others coming over, he said anxiously: "The Marquis of Yongchang came to the door at night, stayed to drink tea, and talked about boring things. He hasn't left yet..." "Let's go together," Lin Fu said

He said, "Can this secret door be hidden from others, and can it be hidden from Yuan Guizheng?" He guessed that Yuan Guizheng was waiting for him to come back here, and walked directly to the front building, where Su Mei was meeting guests, and

Don't hide your whereabouts.

When Yuan returned to the government, many guards were guarding the building downstairs. Suddenly they saw Lin Fu, Zhao Hu, and Zhou Blind emerging from the back garden with a knife. They all nervously drew their swords and shouted: "Who is coming?" "Haha, it turns out to be Lin.

Your Excellency is here." When Yuan Guizheng heard the footsteps walking in the back garden, he knew that Lin Fu was here. He didn't put up any airs. He already opened the window on the second floor and looked down. He shouted at his followers, "You are all blind.

I've been blinded by the dog's eyes. I killed the Donglu and the bandits. I killed them so softly that I didn't even recognize Mr. Lin, the governor of Jinghai, who was so famous all over the world. How come you work by my side on weekdays?" "I didn't know that the Marquis was here.

Lin Fu comes uninvited, which will cause a lot of trouble."

Lin Fu bowed and said, "Even if Lin Fu is granted the title of County Prince, he is still a few ranks away from the title of Yongxi Commandery Marquis who returned to power in the Yuan Dynasty, so etiquette must still be followed."

"I guessed that Mr. Lin was coming to visit Miss Su, so I disturbed Miss Su from practicing here early in the morning. I am the one who is the uninvited guest," Yuan Guizheng said with a smile, motioning Lin Fu to go upstairs to talk, "Dazzling and close.

Half a year has passed and it is not easy to get together. Mr. Lin, please come up and talk."

Lin Fudeng climbed up the stairs and saw that Yuan Jinsheng was also indoors, thinking that he was returning to Jiangning very quickly.

Su Mei sat behind the piano table, bowed her head and expressed affection with her eyes, and said: "Su Mei will make tea for Mr. Lin, Mr. Marquis, and Mr. Young Marquis?" Then he left first, leaving a place for Lin Fu and Yuan Guizheng.

commune.

"As soon as Jinsheng returned to Jiangning, I reprimanded him. I hope Mr. Lin will not think that Jinsheng is young and ignorant..." Yuan Guizheng said.

Speaking of which, Lin Fu and Yuan Jinsheng were the same age, and there was no ranking of who was older and who was younger, but in Yuan Guizheng's words, Yuan Jinsheng became the junior.

Lin Fu smiled slightly and said, "Master Hou is worrying too much. I don't think Jin Sheng did anything wrong."

Before he came to Jiangning, he refused Yudong Palace's donation of military funds on the pretext that military funds could not be awarded privately by ministers.

"Although my family and the Queen Mother are relatives, we can only help Yu Dong with matters. Miao Shuo has to make the final decision on everything. Miao Shuo is quite capable in managing money, so the Queen Mother uses him." Yuan Guizheng didn't care about Lin Fuxin.

If he didn't believe it, he first expressed his confidence and said, "Ministers are not allowed to have secret relationships with ministers. Lord Lin's status is not what it used to be, so you should be careful.

However, everyone is also very concerned about the defense of the Jiangkou. Once the Jiangkou cannot be defended and the Japanese soldiers break into the Yangtze River, the trouble will be huge.

It is said that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. Has it become a taboo, and we really want to shirk all the responsibilities we should bear? At this time, the country is in dire straits, and I will also implicate others with my bones to kill the enemy, but

It's possible to save some money on your household expenses and donate some gold and silver to reward brave generals who kill thieves. Don't refuse me, Mr. Lin."

"This, this, isn't the Marquis making things difficult for me?" Lin Fu said hesitantly.

"What's the trouble?" Yuan Guizheng said, "If you don't say anything, I won't say anything. Who knows about this?" Lin Fu thought to himself, "If you don't say anything now, will you still say nothing when you need me?"

The inner court was turbulent and the fighting was fierce, but the emperor obviously still had the means and strength to suppress it, and the Liang family was in civil unrest in northern Henan. Lin Fu was certainly not willing to completely tie himself to death in the chariot between Yuan Guizheng and the Empress Dowager Liang at this time.

Serve as a gunman for them.

Lin Fu said: "If the Marquis is really sincere, he can donate gold, silver, food and other military supplies to the county. The defense of Jiangdong County against the bandits is not done by the Jiangdong Zuojun family.

Besides, I accepted three warships from Yudong earlier, so I was already treating one favorably and favoring the other.

Of course, the Marquis does not need to worry about the safety of Yudong. Yudong Palace is the private land of the Queen Mother, and the local government has the responsibility to defend it. Even if there is only one soldier left in the battle in Shengsi, Jiangdong's left army will not retreat lightly.

"

No matter what Yuan Guizheng said, he insisted not to accept a single cent of silver from the Yongchang Hou Mansion.

When Yuan returned to politics, he had no choice but to see that Lin Fu couldn't get in, so he and his second son Yuan Jinsheng said goodbye first.

"As long as he is still greedy for Su Mei, I am not afraid that he will escape from the palm of his hand; not to mention that he has also taken over that little bitch."

Yuan Jinsheng was in the carriage. He was very annoyed when he thought of Lin Bie's appearance of being unable to splash water, and said viciously.

"The young one is just a lowly slave. He was originally used as a tool for the Jiaofangsi. He was taken as a slave, so there is no leverage." Yuan Guizheng sighed and said, "Su Mei is the real master, but he doesn't take the bait, and he doesn't take the bait."

What can be done to him? Although he is greedy, otherwise he would not rush over the wall to Baiyuan to meet him after returning from the Gu family. But when it comes to a critical moment, he will not be willing to sacrifice a woman?" Yuan Guizheng also knew that Yu Dong

If something goes wrong, you can't blame your son. After all, Miao Shuo is still in charge there. It's too late to change things right after you say it.

Besides, Liang Chengyi was also there at the time. Who would have thought that in the naval battle that followed, Lin Fu would undoubtedly defeat the main northern fleet of the She family? The most important thing is that many people believed in their hearts that Lin Fu was there.

Yan Nan's fame is mostly due to luck.

Lucky? How can there be so much luck in the world?

The case of the Chongzhou boy was able to be kept secret for two years, and he did not forget to set a trap for Yue Lengqiu before revealing it, including the Jiangdong Left Army returning to Chongzhou to garrison and establish its roots in Chongzhou. This was all planned long ago - only then

He is a real talent for great planning! If the capital is moved to Jiangning in the future, if there is an elite army in Chongzhou that can be mobilized at any time to support, what big things can't be done? It is most effective to give money when Lin Fu is tightening his belt, but Lin Fu will not accept it.

, but the bad thing was that Miao Shuo was too stingy and delayed in sending the six thousand taels of silver in time, so Zhang Yan directly slapped him, forcing Lin Fu to refuse the donation of six thousand taels of silver.

Now that the special reward order has arrived in Jiangning, Lin Fu is not only promoted to an official position, but also divided into areas and salaries, showing his ability to show favor. This is rare in recent years. Lin Fu's hands are no longer so tight, and he has room for choice.

, how could he easily take the money here? Yuan Guizheng felt regretful, and it was too late to take the regret medicine. Not only could he not use Lin Fuyi as a confidant, but he also prevented him from rake in the enemy. Yudong Palace Village was almost surrounded by the Jiangdong Left Army.

.

"It is necessary to donate silver to the county magistrate," Yuan Jinsheng thought, "donating silver directly is not possible, we can donate warships, and we can also donate warships to the Jiangdong Zuojun. Although the effect is far less than directly stuffing silver, we can still send him money

Keep your appetite first, or worry about feeding his appetite..." "That's all we can do for the time being. It's good to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to stabilize him first. The key is to have enough confidence in ourselves, Lin

Bie, we can only expect him to be the icing on the cake, not to provide help in times of need."

Yuan Guizheng said that he had to admit that after the capital was moved to Jiangning, the power of the Lin family represented by Lin Fu would be very important. Even if they remained neutral, it was very necessary.

After the Yuan Dynasty returned to power and Yuan Jinsheng left, Lin Fu leaned on the soft couch and plucked the strings twice casually. He plucked out some untuned notes and made a sonorous sound in the empty night.

Although Jiangning does not have fire pits like those in the north where winter comes, the charcoal fire in the brazier in the side room is sizzling and the inner room is very warm.

Lin Fu rode a horse for two days and came here. His shoes and socks were soaked with sweat and were wiped dry. They were still a little damp and felt cold after resting. He could only endure it at Gu's house and rushed over to meet Su Mei without changing a pair.

At this time, I took off my shoes and stretched my feet on the brazier. There was a sour smell in the room.

"My feet are really sweaty and smelly, and I don't care if other people's noses can bear it," Su Mei scolded, "I'll help you take them off and put them on the stove outside to dry..." He reached out to take off the smelly cloth socks for Lin Fu.

Come down.

"No, it's not good to let others see it," Lin Fu retracted his feet and said, "Boyuan is Yuan Guizheng's eyes and ears. I just want Yuan Guizheng not to see through the truth here, so that we can blackmail him.

, instead of letting him threaten us..." "That's up to you..." Su Mei lightly covered her nose with her hand, and seemed to get used to the smell. She put her hand down with a smile, and sat across from Lin Fu to talk.

"The water in the inner court is deep," Lin Fu said with emotion, "The two kings of Yan and Lu are both heirs of Emperor Delong. With them succeeding to the throne, there is still no chance for the Su family case to be revealed to the world.

Although it is very unlikely that the Liang family will establish Emperor Qingyu, we can only wait - the world is in chaos, and whether the Yuan family can hold on to the throne is 50/50."

"Although the civil unrest in the north is fierce, with hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands of civilian troops at every turn, the old and the weak, as well as women and children, are fighting. There are only one or two people who can fight. They are short of soldiers and armor, and they are short of supplies. It seems that they can be suppressed.

It's not difficult, if the She family or Donglu gain power, it will be a real disaster..." Su Mei said.

"Civil chaos is not difficult to eradicate, but if the people cannot have enough to eat, the civil chaos will not stop. If one group is destroyed, another group will rise again. This damages the foundation.

If the foundation is not damaged, the She family and Donglu will not be able to gain power.

Li Bingbu also saw clearly. In his private letter to me, he intended for me to lead troops to fight against the civilians.

With no money and no food to support, and the land being annexed by local wealthy families, the expedient was to suppress them ruthlessly, but this was only an expedient.

Those bandits who cause chaos and massacre the place are also despicable, but think about it, most people just become thieves to fill their stomachs.

I can't save the people from fire and water, but I can't take such 'war merits' either," Lin Fu said, "I'd better stay and fight with the She family.

Jiangdong's left army must be trained into elite soldiers and cannot pick on weaklings to bully. Only then can the She family be regarded as a whetstone."

Liu Yue'er, Xiaoman and Yingxiu didn't care much about national affairs or military affairs, and there was always a gap between them and Jun Xun. Besides, Jun Xun was younger and had grown up in a deep house, so of course he wouldn't.

After telling Song Jia all the details, he was able to completely relax in front of Su Mei, and there was no need to be defensive when discussing current affairs.
