I am a traitor in the Red Mansion

Three points of the world are moonlit nights, and two points are rogues. Yangzhou. ①

The moon is as cool as water, and the boats and boats on the lake are like weaving, which is another kind of scenery.

Jiang Ling heard the faint music coming from the water, and asked casually, "Teacher always likes to be clean, why did you build the tea house here? Even though it is far away from the brothel, those flower boats cannot be avoided."

"When I was young, I thought it would be a pleasure to live here and enjoy the beautiful scenery every day. I never thought that in the past few decades, Yangzhou's luxury has become more and more prosperous, and these things have prospered so much. It is just this wish, so I have to endure it. .Beauty's Nest, Hero's Tomb, you've seen them all before, and you won't be fooled by people when you go outside." Xu Ge is an old man, and then he sighed softly, "Let's go on the road in early September. , it’s better to calm down earlier and prepare for the test.”

Jiang Ling wanted to raise his glass to pay homage to Elder Xu Ge, when suddenly someone pushed the door in, "Master and Junior Brother are holding a celebration banquet here, and they didn't wait for me."

Jiang Ling hurriedly stood up and saluted, calling him "senior brother".

Lin Ruhai, who made Xu Ge regret for more than ten years, came.

Lin Ruhai is over [-] years old, and he still has a calm demeanor and a dignified appearance. Because he is old, he is not often complained about by Xu Ge about his appearance, criticizing him for needing to look at other angles.

"Your Master Lin is so busy that you can't keep your feet on the ground, but how dare you bother you if you are in the middle of Jieyuan." Xu Ge glanced at him coolly.

Ever since Lin Ruhai sent his only daughter Lin Daiyu to his ancestral home in the capital after Jia Min's death, Mr. Xu Ge often looked at him like this.

In the eyes of the old man, Lin Ruhai's father is a negative teaching material in capital letters. If Jiangling was not really happy to be elected today, he would be able to use Lin Ruhai as a material to teach Jiangling the correct posture of being a father as usual.

In order to save Lin Ruhai's face, Jiang Ling changed the topic, "Senior brother, please sit down."

Lin Ruhai sat across from Mr. Xu Ge, "Congratulations, Junior Brother, for winning the first place. It's just that I should take advantage of the autumn and go to the capital earlier. One is that the weather is suitable, and it will be too cold to sail in winter, and the other is that it's better to go earlier." Calm down and prepare for the test."

"I just said that the day lily will be cold by the time you tell me." Xu Ge said old-fashionedly.

Lin Ruhai got used to it long ago and didn't care about it. He continued, "The situation in Beijing is treacherous now. The talents of junior and senior students must be in high school, but it is rare to be after high school. The dispute between the Supreme Emperor and Jinshang has intensified. The selection of candidates forced the ministers of the Ministry of Officials to retire."

It has been five years since the Supreme Emperor abdicated, but he is still in control of the government in a vigorous manner, and everyone in the court can only enjoy the sunshine of two suns.

This topic touched the heart of old Xu Ge, he said, "How difficult it is for a young man caught between his wife and mother, it will be as difficult for you in the future, and it will only be more difficult."

Why doesn't Jiang Ling understand this truth? What's even more frightening is that if you pissed off your mother and your daughter-in-law, you'll get scratched twice at most, and if you pissed off two saints, you can only be salted fish.

Lin Ruhai really couldn't bear the metaphor of Mr. Xu Ge, and said with a wry smile, "Teacher, please be careful."

"Shen Yan is outside." Old Xu Ge stabbed him, pointing at the door, and then talked about Jiang Ling again, "But you have always been a man, you little bastard, maybe you can be fooled by your slickness."

"In ancient times, there are exquisite people in the court hall. They are either kind or courtiers..." Jiang Ling said halfway, when he found that Lin Ruhai had kicked him under the table, he looked over suspiciously, and suddenly got hit on the head.

Xu Ge said angrily, "You are the treacherous, you are the only one who is kind. You have met a few courtiers, and since ancient times, I think you are the embryo of a traitor."

Lin Ruhai explained in a low voice, "Teacher was often praised for being exquisite in all aspects."

Jiang Ling poured wine for the old man and admitted his mistake in a very good manner, "I don't know much, sir, don't blame me."

Old Xu Ge was still angry, and rolled his eyes at him.

The three of them faced the wind, and after a few rounds, the pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine was nearly exhausted. Jiang Ling listened to Lin Ruhai talk a lot about the precautions for the meeting, and also analyzed the situation between the DPRK and China, benefiting a lot.

Elder Xu Ge put down his chopsticks and sighed.

Jiang Ling compared two fingers, and shook Xu Ge, which meant that he sighed twice tonight, and Xu Ge was so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to hit him, "Little bastard, the wings are not hard yet, dare you?" Laughed at me."

"Don't dare, dare not, I just see that you seem to be worried, and I want to relieve myself."

"I'm getting old. I see that the elder of you is the second-rank Dayuan, and the younger one is the Xinke Jieyuan. It's just that I feel that my descendants are unworthy. No one in my family has been an official for two generations. The Xu family is in danger." Liquor, "Planting so many gold belts, there's a fart for it!"

"Don't you still have a great-grandson, if you raise them carefully, you will definitely be able to go to high school in the future." Jiang Ling comforted him.

Mr. Xu Ge has gone through two dynasties, worked his way to be the first assistant, and finally retired with glory. Naturally, he has a sensitivity that is hard for Jiangling children to match. "I'm afraid we won't be able to wait until that day."

Lin Ruhai followed him and sighed, "I only have a daughter under my knees, I'm afraid, oh..."

Before he could sigh, there was a sudden commotion downstairs. Shen Yan, who was guarding the door, hurried in to report, "A team of yamen servants came and said they wanted to find the young master."

Jiang Ling swallowed the lotus root clip in his mouth unhurriedly, put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "Do you mean I killed people, or set fire?"

Shen Yan was sweating profusely, "I asked, but I refused to tell, and just said that I was invited by my superiors."

While talking, the yamen servant had already gone upstairs, and the leader cupped his hands and said, "Jiang Jieyuan, come with us."

His attitude was very arrogant and disdainful, and it could be seen from the negative favorability of the group of people that he really disdained Jiangling.

Jiang Ling sat still, "May I ask who is this lord's name, where does he work, and where does he want me to go? Even if he is arresting criminals, he should have a purpose, right? You barged in so viciously, Jiang will definitely not dare to go with you."

Shen Yan chimed in and said, "Our young master is a juror, and he is famous for his fame. You should tell us why."

The leading yamen servant sneered and said, "I call you Jiang Jieyuan to give you face. I know whether you are worthy of being a master. I know in my heart, don't think that money can pass through the gods."

There are only two small villages in Jiangling. Compared with a bourgeoisie like Lin Ruhai, they are simply poor. The Stove Lord doesn't care what kind of god this money can do.

Lin Ruhai lowered his face and said, "Since Jiang Jieyuan doesn't have enough face, I'm always enough to inspect the salt and censor, right?"

The yamen servant made a vague salute as if he had just seen him, "So it's Mr. Lin, please forgive me for my clumsy eyes."

"You are from Yangzhou Prefecture." Lin Ruhai glanced at his waist badge, "Do you have a warrant from the magistrate?"

"This is beyond Mr. Lin's ability to know. The magistrate ordered me to act in secret and keep quiet." The yamen servant refused to let it go.

Lin Ruhai's people are not comparable to a little book boy like Shen Yan. At this time, two personal guards came to the door and shouted, "Presumptuous! Our lord is a second-rank official, in charge of Lianghuai Salt Administration... "

Jiang Ling interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Hey, let's not mention these oppressive people. If I knew the identity of my senior brother, I still insisted on not saying it. I respect him as a man."

The yamen servant secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Jiang Jieyuan, please."

It's just that the breath was relieved early.

"Pretending to be a ghost and playing tricks, it's just that there is a problem in this Kexiang test." Jiang Ling's face was as usual, with a clear breeze and a bright moon, which can be called a gentleman.

The yamen servant knew that he had made a slip of the tongue just now, and he saw the clue, so he didn't dare to say more, and they all kept their mouths shut.

Elder Xu Ge's psychological quality is very strong, he patted him on the shoulder, "The clean is cleared, you go with them."

"Wait a moment." Jiang Ling raised his chopsticks again, caught another piece of lotus root in the suspicious eyes of the yamen servants, and then ate slowly.

To be reasonable, I was so focused on listening to Lin Ruhai just now that I didn't pay much attention to eating.I'm still a little hungry, if I take it away and don't give me food, wouldn't I starve to death.

Boss Xu Ge laughed loudly, "This is my apprentice, Xu Bingqi."

Master Lin also nodded, this psychological quality, the palace examination is perfect.It's just that during the palace examination, he will also be hungry, so he has to be reminded to be mentally prepared.

The yamen servant watched helplessly as Jiang Ling ate half a plate of fried lotus root clips, added another half bowl of rice, and finished eating a piece of West Lake vinegar fish in front of him.

"Everyone, let's go?" Jiang Ling stood up after rinsing his mouth, not forgetting to entrust Shen Yan to Elder Xu Ge, "This little guy asked the teacher to send it back for me, don't tell him to run around."

Seeing that a young master Xie Yuan was about to be taken away, Shen Yan couldn't help it anymore, crying with tears and snot in his nose, "Master, I can't bear you, you can't do anything, young master."

There are mountains of swords and seas of fire in front of me, how could the young master just jump like this.

Jiang Ling walked up to Lin Ruhai, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "A group of dudes just happened to come to the teahouse today. There were seven or eight people in the private room, and four of them were selected. Xue Ting, Zhu Qixuan, Li Shi, and Jin Zining , the last three brothers are no strangers, all of them are the children of salt merchants, but the first one is a side branch of the Jinling emperor Xue's family. Many people came downstairs to congratulate, and there were a few people among them. They were all extraordinary scholars. , but by the time I wrote the inscription, these people had disappeared. I still don’t know the way here, but my brother may understand.”

He recounted the names of the four people to Lin Ruhai, and in his opinion, the golden finger that never forgets is much easier to use than the favorability system.

"I see, you have to be patient for a while, everything is up to me." Lin Ruhai remembered that the distinguished guest in Yangzhou City at this moment, if he sent someone, it would be reasonable.

Jiang Ling nodded, glanced at these yamen servants indifferently, and walked out slowly, as if he was going for a walk after dinner.

Elder Xu Ge almost couldn't hold back his laughter, and when he left, he had a strange expression on his face, wanting to smile or not.

Lin Ruhai thought he was in a panic, so he hurriedly comforted him, and asked him to go back to get the Anshen Pill, but Xu Ge couldn't stop laughing, "This little bastard is holding a grudge, don't look at his pretending, he might be so proud of himself. He's a big name, something went wrong now, he can't die of anger."

Lin Ruhai also understood Jiangling's temperament, "This is good, for the way of the general, he should first heal the heart, Mount Tai collapses in the front, but the color does not change, and the elk rises to the left, but the eyes do not blink. ② Junior brother is a promising man."

Old Xu Ge clicked his tongue, and felt his stomach was empty, "Just seeing him eat just now, I'm also a little hungry, go and ask someone to serve me a bowl of noodles."

Master Lin called a guard to run errands, "Two bowls."

Shen Yan is sniffling, is it really his own teacher and senior brother, why doesn't he care about the young master at all.

Jiang Ling, the little bastard on the other end, didn't die of anger, although these bastards put him directly in the prison of Yangzhou Mansion.

The system prompt sounded at the right time—congratulations to the player for obtaining the achievement [Tears behind bars], reward items——no

The author has something to say: To be reasonable, it is you, Baby Jiang, you are capable of uninstalling.
