[Red House] Big Salt Merchant

After seeing Daiyu, Lin Yu didn't go out much.

He was thinking about what he should do in the room - the matter of the Lu family has always been in the bottom of his heart, and he has never forgotten it, and it is impossible to forget it. 3 taels is just a small amount, which may be big enough in the eyes of others, but it is very difficult to do anything when it comes to the salt merchants.I don't know how much it will cost to dredge up and down, let alone go to the salt farm or the salt government office.

Lin Yu is in a difficult situation right now. Right now, there must be only a tentative plan, and the rest must be similar to "starting from scratch".

In the afternoon of the next day, Jia Baoyu met Lin Yu and seemed to have a good impression of Lin Yu.

However, in the conversation, this second master Bao looked down on the study of economics and practicality, and he also had many disagreements with the "lower stream" of "business". It is impossible for Wan Hakama to be a fellow.

After sending Jia Baoyu away, the mother-in-law and servants arranged by Jia's mansion came outside to serve him, but Lin Yu didn't let them do too many things, and didn't say too much to them.He was just revealing the news that he was going back to Yangzhou after a short stay for a few days, so the people below knew that it was useless to curry favor with him, so they rested their minds, did what they should do, and didn't say anything they shouldn't, Lin Yu was clean .

Apart from her own plan, Lin Yu has only studied the relationship between the top and bottom of the Jia family. Mrs. Wang is from the Wang family, and she is sister to Aunt Xue's family.Lin Yu once heard Xue Pan mention his capable sister, but he thought of Xue Baochai again.Mrs. Wang seemed to be biased towards the treatment from the beginning, and she didn't know why.

I had never heard Jia Min talk about the relatives of "Bao Dai" before, but now seeing that the old lady had the intention of matching, Lin Yu felt bad.

If this is the case, sister Dai should not live in Rongguo Mansion for a long time.

He made an excuse to come here, sent a letter of safety to Lin Ruhai, and wrote a letter stating the matter. As for what Lin Ruhai thought and did, he couldn't worry about it.

As soon as the letter was written and sent out, I heard Cherry, who was waiting in front of the door, shout enthusiastically, "Second Master Lian, you are here—"

Jia Lian?

Lin Yu raised her brows, and said to Zhang Bao'er as she got up: "Someone will send the letter back to Yangzhou quickly, and let my father read it for peace of mind. My sister and I are fine, you go."

"Yes." Zhang Baoer took the letter and walked towards the door. When he was about to go out, he bumped into Jia Lian, so he bowed and called a thousand, calling "Second Master Lian".

Jia Lian is good-looking, with a face like powder and eyes like peach blossoms. If it weren't for the flirtatious look on his face, he would really be a scholar who came out of a wealthy family.It's a pity that the underside of this man's eyes is not too clean, Lin Yu is not very comfortable looking at it.As soon as he came in, he took a look at Lin Yu. Lin Yu couldn't figure out what attitude the other party had towards him, so he just called "Second Master Lian" vaguely.

Jia Lian laughed immediately, came up to hold Lin Yu's hand, and said, "Why are you so out of touch? Sister Dai should call me cousin. Although you were not born by your aunt, you were raised under her knee. Could it be that you look down on me, Jia Lian?" ?”

"No matter what the second master said, Na Yu called him 'cousin'." Lin Yu saw that Jia Lian's behavior was frivolous, and he didn't know what he was here for, so he didn't want to ask too many questions, so he only asked people to serve tea and snacks Come and entertain him.

Unexpectedly, Jia Lian couldn't sit still after sitting for a while, and clamored to take Lin Yu out of the mansion to see the scenery of the capital. How can a man sit at home all the time?

Lin Yu wanted to go out, but by the way, he would see if there have been any changes in the capital in the past two years, but when he was going out, Jia Lian's servant came up and asked quietly, "You have to tell the second grandma", and Jia Lian kicked her. The little servant kicked over, "Just go back to grandma and tell me that I will take brother Yu around. It's best to say it when you Miss Ping are around."

The boy hurriedly retreated with a smile.

This scene is a bit intriguing. Wang Xifeng is known as Feng Lazi, and Jia Lian, the pot cover and the pot don't know whether they match or not.

Lin Yu just watched but didn't speak, and finally followed Jia Lian out.

Lixiangyuan was close to Jia Zheng's room, and when he came out of Tongjie, Lin Yu saw Jia Lian's expression relaxed.

"It's hot in the capital, but the hot weather also has its benefits. A new troupe came to Beijing a while ago, and it's in Tanghuayuan. Why don't I take brother Yu to see it?"

Jia Lian shook his fan with deep meaning in his eyes.

Lin Yu didn't refuse, and there were quite a few operas being sung in the Yangzhou Opera Garden. It was not uncommon for salt merchants to sometimes chase opera actors and support actors.As soon as he turned out the door, Jia Lian felt that the road was far away, so he called a sedan chair to carry it.

All the way out of Ningrong Street, we arrived at the west of the city. There were a lot of people coming and going, vendors setting up stalls and selling things along the road.

The curtain of the sedan chair was pulled up, and the bearer in front pressed the sedan chair. When Lin Yu came down, he saw that Jia Lian was already standing there.

"I heard that there is a famous thin horse in Yangzhou, I don't know..."

Jia Lian showed an expression that could only be comprehended but could not be expressed in words. Lin Yu naturally knew what he was talking about, but shook her head and said, "My father is very strict in discipline, and I dare not see it."

This is true, it is impossible for Lin Ruhai to let his children get in touch with these things prematurely, how can a scholarly family be connected with these filthy streets?What he said made Jia Lian think that he didn't understand love and affection, so he dragged him into the building. There was a big stage in the garden, and dignitaries often went here, but Lin Yu didn't expect to be able to Met a half-hearted acquaintance here.

Xia Xingzhi went inside with a few wealthy lords, but when he turned his head inadvertently, he saw Lin Yu.

The two looked at each other from a distance——

It is enough to transport the grain to Tongzhou, and Xia Shengzhi is the helm of the Cao Gang in Yangzhou. There is nothing wrong with traveling between Beijing and Tongzhou.

The change on his face was not revealed, and Jia Lian didn't notice it either, so he just asked him to go to the theater.

This Jia Lian was listening to the play while saying some nasty words, Lin Yu just pretended that he didn't know anything, his face didn't change, and Jia Lian took a high look.

The places where they were sitting were only one road away from Xia Shengzhi's side. The door on their side was only half closed, but the door on the opposite side was closed tightly, as if they were not listening to the show.The waiters serving tea stood far away, as if they had been specially ordered not to get too close to the door.

These details are insignificant, but it is very interesting to fall into Lin Yu's eyes.

On the way, Lin Yu already knew that Xia Shengzhi was helping people traffic in illegal salt, and now they were discussing confidential matters in the theater, which must have something to do with business contacts.

After sitting for a while, the opposite door finally opened, but a fat man came out and waved some people to come in.

This theater in the capital is different from other theaters. The dignitaries can play as they like, and they don't care about the rules at all.

A group of girls came directly from the opposite door, and it became lively in an instant.

Jia Lian's eyes were greedy, but Lin Yu didn't mean it, and he didn't dare to show off. Thinking of his savage woman, he lost his courage. For a while, even listening to the play felt boring, and only asked about it before going to the play. Where is the Hua Dan on the stage, so she escapes under the pretext of urinating.

Lin Yu knew that he had something dirty just by looking at his eyes. It was just a cover to ask him to come to the theater, but Lin Yu always knew not to interfere in other people's affairs, and he would not shake a word when it was not necessary.

People like him are good at stabbing people in the back.

There is no one in this room now, there is an open stage in the front, and the door behind it, and it is still lively inside.

He also put down his teacup and walked out of the room. He heard lewd sounds from inside as he passed the corridor, and it was obvious that it was in a state of chaos.The servants and maids around were all blushing. Fortunately, no one else passed by here, only Lin Yu had already attracted a few more glances.

Xia Shengzhi must also be in it, everyone has two sides.

Lin Yu thought to himself, then turned the corner, and before he had gone far, he suddenly heard a loud "bang" from behind, but it was the carved wooden door in front that was kicked over by someone, and there were screams inside The sound of the sound, only the dishes and bowls were turned over and the tables and chairs fell to the ground. I don't know how many ugly things were smashed.

Who is so bold as to dare to choose the favor of these wealthy businessmen?

Lin Yu raised his eyes and saw a young man in Huapao standing at the door. The one who kicked the door just now was the strong man next to him, like his slave.

This man has a handsome appearance, and looks about the same age as Lin Yu, but his face is noble, and his eyes are full of disdain.Looking at the yellow jade pendant with double dragon play beads on his waist, one can be sure that he is extraordinary.

"Everyone is here, isn't it a one-pot job? Master Yang, why don't you do it?"

When he spoke, the officials in patched uniforms standing at the other corner immediately waved their hands and arrested all the people inside. Suddenly, the whole theater was in chaos. People outside are looking here.

Lin Yu just felt that this was wrong, and when the official bowed to the young man and called "Master Fourteen", he thought of the Huang Yupei just now, and guessed the identity of this person.

Lin Yu avoided it from a distance, afraid of getting involved in the incident, but he didn't expect that the one who should come would still be unable to escape.

Xia Xingzhi was not arrested from that room, but was found in the next room, looking sleepy - Lin Yu clearly saw Xia Xingzhi go in before, but now he came out from the next room, this matter It's weird.

Jia Lian was also unlucky. The fourteenth master said that he was let go inside and out, and he was arrested one by one and locked in for questioning. Only then did he find out that Jia Lian was still making out with the actor behind the scenes, so he was arrested and revealed himself. , very embarrassed.There was a tea servant who recognized Lin Yu before, and also came to him, but Lin Yu looked at Duan Fang, and they didn't dare to do anything wrong.

A group of people were pressed in the lobby, and they were even said to be taken back to the Yamen for interrogation. Lin Yu never thought that there would be a disaster on this day, and Jia Lian's face was even more pale and muddled.

Xia Xingzhi was also worried and panicked, but Lin Yu found that his bound fingers seemed to be beating the beat—is this the tone of the song "Wu Song Fights the Tiger" just now?

As if feeling that Lin Yu was looking at him, Xia Xingzhi turned his head and smiled at him, "Young Master Lin is also here."

"..."

He could be involved in any play, Lin Yu didn't know what to say anymore.He believed that nothing would happen to him, Jia Lian just...

If Second Mistress knew about this, his whole body would be cut off when he returned home.
