The Laughing Usa of the Red Chamber

Shen Yulin said: "Brother Ji has won the prize, I don't know Brother Ji..."

The matter is over, there seems to be nothing to talk about between him and him, right?

Ji Yingze's face collapsed, and he mourned: "Brother Shen, don't be so unkind, Yingze has admired Brother Shen's demeanor for a long time..."

Shen Yulin said lightly: "The banquet is not over yet, does Tang Tanhua also want to have a drink?"

Ji Yingze froze for a moment, and then said seriously: "Yingze has been staying at Chengfeng Inn for the past few days, if Yulin wants to find Yingze, he can ask someone to bring this token to the shopkeeper."

As he spoke, he untied a black iron token from his waist and placed it on the stone table. Shen Yulin squinted his eyes and saw that the token had a tiger-patterned golden lacquer on its edge, and the word "cloud and tiger" engraved on the surface .

Seeing that Shen Yulin was interested, Ji Yingze said with a low smile: "The late emperor had two arms, the left Qilin and the right Yunhu. They are the grandfathers of you and me."

Shen Yulin chuckled and did not answer.

Ji Jiayun's tiger order, he certainly recognized it.

Ji Yingze flicked his sleeves, glanced at the surrounding bushes with a half-smile, and said, "Forget it, Yingze should not make fun of himself, Yulin, let's say goodbye first."

He was so good that he disappeared into the night within a few breaths. Shen Yulin raised his eyes and smiled slightly.

It is not easy for him to cross the border in matters of maritime trade. The Yongning lineage also needs to be quiet at this time. Ji Yingze is not ignorant, so he has not set a fixed number of years. This time, it is just a test.

Shen Yulin took a sip of her cold tea, thinking about it in her heart.

The deficit filled by Jiangnan has been filled with military pay. Because the country was founded not long ago, a lot of waste is waiting to be rebuilt, and the treasury is even more empty. Ji Yingze lost a lot of chips. If he doesn't take the bait, he has his own temptation...

This is Ji Yingze's "sincerity".

This person is really not simple, if he hadn't come from later generations and knew that Jin Gaozu hated Kong Dao deeply, I'm afraid he would have believed it.

Ji Yingze seemed to have identified Yongning's lineage. Thinking of his heartbeat when he first heard about this, Shen Yulin laughed at himself, which almost became a joke.

He really doesn't know whether this boy's temper is good or bad. Although he won't be able to see through the background, his imprudence from time to time still makes him worry. This time, Ji Yingze has no malicious intentions. If it's another person, the loss will be settled .

Shen Yulin calmed down, waited until the banquet was over, and told Shen Xiang the whole matter.

"Yu Kongdao, Ji's family..." Shen Xiang pondered for a long time, then sighed, "Is the homeland hard to leave?"

Shen Yulin frowned, he didn't think that the Ji family who had ruled the island for 3000 years would easily surrender for such a reason, and said, "So what if his intention is to attach instead of merge?"

Shen Xiang laughed, and said: "Da Jin has always forbidden talking about Yu Kong, I don't know, Na Yu Kong Island is now the overlord of the sea, the three Hans are shivering, and the Japanese people bow their heads, if they don't really return to Jin, how can they make a fuss? Is there a dispensable vassal status?"

Shen Yulin pursed his lips, and said again: "If the Ji family is attached, the meritorious service will be crowned king, and then it will be based on the Kong Kong, so that it will not be true, but also rely on my reputation in the Jin Dynasty, receive the military salary every year, and urge food and grass every year. How to say it?"

Shen Xiang sighed: "That's what the kings of later generations will worry about. Right now, it's about seizing the heir."

Shen Yulin barely suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and lowered her eyes in response.

Seeing that his eyes were black and blue, Shen Xiang couldn't help sighing: "You've always been restless lately, but the supervision department is too busy with official duties? You can't do it alone. I see that many new officials are good today. , we should properly distribute some to the subordinates.”

Shen Yulin sighed lowly, and said: "You can save me."

After seeing off Shen Xiang, Shen Yu was standing behind the second gate, somehow took off the white jade phoenix double-flying adornment with hair knots hidden around her neck, and looked at it carefully with downcast eyes.

The jade is bright and smooth, and the carving is fine. It can be seen that it has been coiled very well. Because a section is hollow, if you look at the light of the lantern hanging high on the eaves of the door, you can faintly see the two knots tied with blue silk.

In spite of his busy schedule, he still... misses him a little bit.

☆☆☆☆☆.

"Yu Shangqing, you bastard!" Yu Shangan murmured with his hands on his cheeks.

"Yu Shangqing, you bastard!" Yu Shangrong opened his mouth to follow suit.

There was silence in the study for a while, and suddenly a woman's roar came from the direction of the bedroom, "Yu Shangqing, you bastard!"

Yu Shangrong Baozi frowned, and said seriously: "You bastard Yu Shangqing has made sister Yun angry again."

Yu Shangan nodded and sighed, "Why do we have such a stupid brother?"

Yu Shangrong nodded, and said with emotion: "Sister Yun saved my brother again, and his body promise is not enough."

Yu Shang'an said solemnly: "As a conscientious younger brother, if he uses me to pay off the debt, I will definitely not resist."

Yu Shangrong curled his lips and snorted: "Sister Yun's family has the largest inn in the capital, will you take a fancy to you, short Douding?"

Yu Shangan raised his head dissatisfied, and found that Yu Shangrong was actually a little finger taller than himself!

The two stared at each other for a long time...

Yu Shangqing dragged his injured foot and pushed open the study door, and at a glance, there were two little bean dings with their noses against their noses in a bullfighting posture.

"Okay, Miss Zheng has already left, and now I am making up yesterday's homework."

Yu Shang'an: "..."

Yu Shangrong: "..."

Since Yu Shangqing was promoted to censor, he took his two younger brothers and moved out of the old house. This house was originally owned by an old Hanlin who resigned from office. Because the old Hanlin was eager to return home, the house was discounted. Just enough money to marry a wife.

Together with the house, the old Hanlin also gave five or six servants as a gift, which looks quite similar.

Just as Shen Yulin sent someone to hand over the name post, when the side door opened, a girl in red clothes came out. The girl's complexion was reddish, her red lips were tightly pursed, she was obviously very angry, Shen Yulin lowered her head and looked away. she.

After the person stamped his feet and left, the doorkeeper smiled and said, "Lord Shen, don't misunderstand, that is our lord's savior!"

Shen Yulin laughed lowly, and said: "That girl walks like a breeze, with a long breath, she must be a martial artist."

Even though she is a woman from the rivers and lakes, it is a bit out of line to go in and out of a man's house like this.

The servant smiled and said: "Exactly! Miss Zheng is superb in martial arts..."

Shen Yulin's eyes flickered slightly, and said: "That girl's family is a businessman?"

The servant nodded, scratched his head, and said with a naive smile: "Master Shen is really good at seeing people. The largest Chengfeng Inn in Beijing is run by Miss Zheng's family."

[Yu Cifu's wife, businesswoman Zheng's]

After going around for a while, things got back to the right track, Shen Yulin pursed her lips and smiled, secretly thinking that these two people are really destined for each other, and they are inseparable.

Although the sparrow is small, it has everything you need. Although this house is not as exquisite as Shen Yulin's new residence, it is also elegant in every way. The cold fragrance of wintersweet all the way makes you feel relaxed and happy.

The old Hanlin had a refined temperament, and in the center of the main hall hung a map of the sea of ​​clouds on Huangshan Mountain, with cursive scripts inscribed by himself on both sides, and poems inscribed on the four walls painted with white powder.

After not seeing each other for several months, Yu Shangqing is no longer as shy as when we first met, he already has some official authority in his gestures, but his sincere temperament remains the same as before.

"Brother Yu is still so easy to offend people." Shen Yulin chuckled and sat down.

Yu Shangqing's ears were slightly red, and he didn't know if he was referring to the assassination, or Miss Zheng who had just left in anger.

Seeing him like this, Shen Yulin said helplessly: "Sometimes women are the same as the officialdom, just follow along..."

Yu Shangqing pursed his lips, his face tensed slightly, and after listening in silence, Fang said: "If you get it right once, it will be difficult to persist next time."

Shen Yulin was stunned, and said with a smile: "Sage officials are true to their eyes and ears, but you must know, brother Yu, that no one is willing to listen to his subordinates' dereliction of duty every day, and loyal words...are harsh... "

Yu Shangqing knew that Shen Yulin was really trying to persuade him, but...

"That's the responsibility of the censor." He tilted his head, and said gently but firmly.

Shen Yulin chuckled lightly, and didn't dwell on the topic, saying: "The officials that brother Yu recently impeached... are mostly related to the Jiangnan deficit case?"

Yu Shangqing nodded and said angrily: "Zhou Chaokang, Qi Bing, Zheng Shiang, Wang Ziteng...Even if I risk my life, I will never make these people feel better!"

Shen Yulin sighed, and said: "The factions among these people are uneven, and most of them are from aristocratic families. It's strange who you can refute... Zhou Chaokang and Zhou Shangshu are still our own people, you..."

Because the case of Yu Shangqing became famous because of the influence of the third prince, he was acquiesced in the official circle as Yongning's lineage. Zhou Shangshu, who was pursued and impeached by his own people every day, almost wanted to ask his wife to go to Yutai Temple to ask for a magic talisman to avoid evil.

Yu Shangqing said in shock: "Zhou Chaokang is a corrupt official!"

Shen Yulin smiled helplessly: "Brother Yu, you can find out, but you can still hide it from the Holy One? Greedy is greedy, people have a sense of proportion."

Unless the national treasury is so poor, few emperors would care that their confidant ministers touch thousands of taels of silver for appearance. You must know that the salaries of officials in the Jin Dynasty are extremely low. The reward for the previous year's festival was only 500 taels of silver a year. In the land of Kyoto, rich and noble families cut a few clothes and they disappeared.

Yu Shangqing was stunned for a moment, and said, "Is there still a measure of corruption?"

Shen Yulin looked at Yu Shangqing's staring eyes, and for some reason followed those obscure official rules. After a long silence, Fang slowly said: "Everyone has his own principles. Brother Yu is upright. This is not a bad thing. Brother Yu can do things." It's not appropriate to rely on one's passion without consideration."

Yu Shangqing said: "How can a man be afraid of the head and the tail when he is born in the world?"

Shen Yulin glanced slightly at the four little hands holding the screen, and sighed: "What about the two virtuous brothers? Brother Yu, have you ever thought about it, if the assassination is successful this time, how can the two virtuous brothers survive in this capital at such a young age?" foothold?"

Yu Shangqing froze, yes, if Miss Zheng didn't rescue him, it would be a pity for him to die, but what about Aner Ronger?

Shen Yulin continued: "What's more, brother Yu regards life and death so lightly, how can he be worthy of the spirit of uncle and aunt? It is true that a man stands upright in the world, but if you fall, who will stand upright for the two virtuous brothers?"

Yu Shangqing was silent for a long time, closed his eyes, suddenly got up, and saluted Shen Yulin.
