Mother Jia and the two wives stopped at dawn on the second day after being tortured by Yang Yi's medicine. They drank some soup and medicine and lay on the bed panting.

Mrs. Wang leaned on the bed and fed her some soft porridge with Caixia. After drinking a few sips, she felt that she had regained a little energy, so she asked, "Who made the meal today?"

Caixia scooped up another small spoonful of porridge and handed it to Mrs. Wang's mouth, and said in a low voice, "This morning Lian's second grandma ordered Zhou Rui's family to ask her to call a few trusted women to do it. As for who will be sent later?" A woman manages the kitchen, and Lian's second grandmother said that it will be up to you, wife."

"Send a girl over later, and tell your second grandma that this matter will be left to her. Just remember to send someone you can trust, and don't let what happened last night. It's okay for us juniors to suffer a little bit. I'm afraid that something will happen to the old lady at such an advanced age." Mrs. Wang said as she twirled the beads.

After a while, Mrs. Wang asked again: "How did the old lady deal with those bastards in the kitchen?"

Caixia said: "Sister Amber, who is next to the old lady, came here just now, and said that the old lady fell asleep after taking the medicine. Let your wife handle it, or you can handle it yourself, or let the second grandma Lian handle it."

"You don't need to call your second mistress anymore, pass on my order to send out those wives and their families last night."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Then how did the kid from the Lin family deal with it?"

"It has not been dealt with. This morning, Wenyuange University Scholars' Mansion sent an invitation card, asking Uncle Lin to attend Master Tang's [-]th birthday tomorrow. When the master comes back from court, he will go directly to Uncle Lin and say that he will be with Uncle Lin tomorrow." Go. So..."

Mrs. Wang was unable to frame Yang Yi because of Jin Chuan'er's matter, she hated her so much, but now she couldn't do anything, so she could only say: "Forget it, I'm tired, please help me to sleep."

After Yang Yi ate lunch, the servant at the outer gate brought a letter from Lin Ruhai and several large wooden boxes.In the past, Lin Ruhai sent letters to Lin Daiyu, but this time it was strange.

Yang Yi thoughtfully opened the letter and looked at it. The content of the letter was exactly as Yang Yi guessed. In the letter, Lin Ruhai scolded Yang Yi severely and ordered Yang Yi to cut off contact with Shui Chen from now on.Then he asked Yang Yi to give Jia Mu tens of thousands of taels of silver bills to help him expand his contacts in Jinling, and then taught Yang Yi how to use those things and silver bills to stabilize those contacts.

This Lin Ruhai is worthy of being the person who has been the money bag trusted by the late emperor for so many years. Although he is far away in Yangzhou, he knows very well about Yang Yi's affairs in Jinling.It's just that Yang Yi couldn't understand that since Lin Ruhai knew about his affairs in Jinling City, he must have known about the absurd things the Jia family did, but he didn't know why he was still obsessed with thinking that the Jia family could help him.

After reading the letter, Yang Yi burned the letter paper, then patted the ashes on his hands, went to those big wooden boxes and opened the lids one by one.A pile of antique calligraphy and paintings were exposed in the box. It seems that Lin Ruhai also spent a lot of money this time.

"Master, how did the master send these things?" Bei Zhi asked.

Yang Yi always knew Bei Zhi's temperament was stable, so he didn't hide it from her, and said: "Master told me not to associate with King Zhongqing anymore, and then asked me to use these things to make friends with some dignitaries in Jinling City with the help of Jia's family." .”

"The master is not confused. Now King Zhongqing is a person who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people in this world. Others are stretching their heads to find opportunities to make friends with King Zhongqing. Since we already have this relationship, how can we break it!" Nanju said on the side.

"This is a matter of the imperial court. You don't understand, don't worry about it, just move these things out and put them in my boxes in the next room, put some ordinary clothes and utensils here, and then don't worry about it .” Yang Yi said.

Nan Ju pursed her lips and stopped talking, carefully packed up the things in the box.

Yang Yi brought Bei Zhi into his room, sat down and said to Bei Zhi: "I read the contents of the letter, the master probably settled in Jia's house, you know something about it."

Bei Zhi thought for a while and said: "I know this, the old lady told me, but the people I heard should all belong to the lady."

"Ma'am settled in her natal family?" Yang Yi really looked at Jia Min with admiration, and made calculations, even his own natal family did the calculations.

"Back when the master was awarded Tanhua, many people wanted to marry the master, and the old lady bought the humble servants of those people's families to inquire about the affairs of those families. There used to be a burning girl in Jia's mansion who was also the old lady. It is said that the wife is the most favored child in Jia's family. She has always been raised by a man, and she is better than the two uncles in handling internal and external affairs. When Rong Guogong was alive, he often said that if the wife was a man If so, he will definitely let his wife inherit the Rongguo Mansion. My wife has always regarded the Rongguo Mansion as her own, so she didn't bring all her confidantes to our house when she got married, but left some exciting things behind. The Jia family is collecting information."

When Bei Zhi said this, Yang Yi knew why Lin Ruhai still thought that Jia's Mansion was a good place. No matter what the Jia family's servants thought in their hearts, the same characteristic was that they all thought that Jia's Mansion was the best place in the world. No matter what the masters in Jia's mansion did that seemed unreasonable to outsiders, in the eyes of these slaves, they were all the best.Therefore, they naturally wouldn't report the messy things in Jia's mansion to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai was too conspicuous in sending things. The things were delivered in the morning, and in the afternoon, the girls from Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang's rooms came to Yang Yi's room, clearly saying that they were asking Nanju and Beizhi about how to behave in Yangzhou. , in fact, his eyes were all searching for those few boxes, and he wanted Nanju and Beizhi to find out what Lin Ruhai had sent.

Bei Zhi stayed at Jia's house for a while, and knew that Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang were the most greedy for money, so she perfunctorily told those girls that when Yang Yi came, he only thought that he would return to Yangzhou after staying for a month or two. Yang Yi stayed in Jinling to spend more time with Lin Daiyu, so he sent some things to Yang Yi.

Those girls naturally didn't believe it, but Nanju and Beizhi were very strict, no matter how much they inquired, they couldn't get anything useful, so they had to leave bored.

On the second day Tang Shiren's [-]th birthday, Wenyuange University scholar, Yang Yi was taught by Jia Zheng's girl early in the morning. After tidying up properly, he brought a few ancient books sent by Lin Ruhai yesterday as gifts, and Yang Yi followed Jia Zheng. Politics is gone.

Tang Shiren, a scholar of the Wenyuan Pavilion at that time, was not only the teacher of King Zhongqing, but also the teacher of the new emperor, so many people came to the Tang residence early in the morning to pay their respects.As soon as Yang Yi followed Jia Zheng into the main courtyard, he saw Yao Qinglan pretending to be dignified and chatting with the two sons. Jia Zheng followed Yang Yi's gaze and said, "The man in green is Yao Qinglan, the son of the prefect of Yangzhou. The two sons of Mr. Tang next to him, the one wearing orange clothes is Mr. Tang’s eldest son Tang Zuyao, and the other is Mr. Tang’s second son Tang Zuwang. He is about the same age as you. You can make friends with him later. one time."

"Thank you, Second Uncle, for reminding me."

Jia Zheng introduced several juniors to Yang Yi, and he was called by several colleagues from the Ministry of Industry.Yang Yi was happy to be at leisure, and was just about to find an unobtrusive place to hide when he heard the boy at the door announce that King Zhongqing had arrived.Yang Yi's footsteps paused, and after a while, Shui Shen walked in surrounded by a group of people. He was wearing a royal blue round neck long pleated straight body robe with five-clawed mang pattern, looking quite The aura of domineering.

Master Tang's eldest son, Tang Zuyao, hurried over and said respectfully, "Third Prince, please come in and sit down for a while. My father and some old friends have gone to the study and will come out soon."

"You just go about your own affairs, don't entertain me so politely, you are busy today." Shui Chen smiled and said, compared to the so-called father in the palace, Tang Shiren treats him more More like a father, his two sons are like brothers to him.

"Then I'm going to receive other guests. Third Prince, please do as you please." Tang Zuyao said, then he looked around, and whispered: "Prince Zhongshun came today for some reason."

Brother Shuichen has been fighting with Queen Zhongshun's mother and son since they were young. Tang Zuyao worried that the two of them would fight here and ruin the good birthday banquet.

"He's here too?" Shui Chen frowned. The crown prince died in the battle for the throne. The Queen Mother Zhongshun, who has always been loved by the old saints, has big ambitions. Although Shui Qing has already ascended the throne, but Because of the support of the old sage, Queen Zhongshun's mother and son are still greedy for the throne. They are thinking of recruiting old ministers such as the Jia family and some important ministers in the court. Now they probably want to recruit Tang Shiren, who is the most respected among civil servants. up.

"We didn't give him an invitation, he came with King Beijing."

Shui Shen asked Tang Zuyao to leave, while he walked into the house while thinking about King Jingjing.It stands to reason that Shui Shen would still call the King of Beijing Jing an uncle, but unfortunately this uncle is a dou who can't support the wall, and he is the same kind of person as Jia Baoyu. stuck together.

As soon as he entered the room, Shui Shen saw Yang Yi standing in the corner. It was a coincidence that Yang Yi was also wearing a royal blue straight body robe with a round neck and bat pattern today. The two seemed to agree generally.

Shui Chen felt a little displeased when he heard that King Zhongshun had also come, and immediately healed up. He walked up to Yang Yi and said, "Qiuyu, why don't I think you won't come until the banquet starts?"

"My second uncle brought me here early in the morning." Yang Yi pointed to Jia Zheng who was standing not far away having a good chat with a group of old men.

"He threw you here?" Shui Chen asked.

"En." Yang Yi nodded.

"It just so happens that you are with me, the show is about to start, let's find a quiet corner to sit." Shui Chen said, pulling Yang Yi to leave.

King Zhongshun, who had already had a few glasses of wine with someone inside, heard that Shui Chen had also come, and walked out as soon as his head got hot, just in time to see Shui Chen holding Yang Yi's hand, he was immediately happy.He walked up to Shui Chen to block the way, and shouted loudly: "Hey, third brother, who is this you are pulling, why haven't I seen it before?"

Today is Mr. Tang's birthday, Mr. Shui Chen's teacher. Seeing Mr. Tang's face, Shui Chen didn't want to spoil everyone's interest by meeting King Zhongshun, so he ignored King Zhongshun and pulled Yang Yi to walk away.

However, King Zhongshun is most jealous of Brother Shuichen recently. He couldn't deal with the emperor, so he wanted to vent his anger on Shuichen. As if about to take off Yang Yi's clothes, he chuckled twice, and asked Yang Yi pretending to be gentle, "What's your name, what family are you from, why haven't I seen you before?"

When Tang Zuyao saw King Zhongshun coming out of the backyard, he knew that something bad was going to happen, so he hurried up and said, "This is the only son of Lin Ruhai, the censor of Yanzhou in Yangzhou."

"I didn't ask you." King Zhongshun glared at Tang Zuyao, then looked at Yang Yi and asked, "What's your name?"

King Zhongshun's eyes became more and more explicit, and Yang Yi felt disgusted when he saw it, so he had to pretend to be scared and lowered his head not to look at him, but he had to answer King Zhongshun's question.

But before Yang Yi could speak, he was pulled behind by Shui Chen, and said to King Zhongshun, "You know what his name does, go and do your own thing."

A ruthless emotion flashed in King Zhongshun's eyes for a moment, but the smile on his face became even more obscene. He said with a smile: "I never thought that you are such a sympathetic person, third brother. I just asked for a name. I can't bear it anymore. Well, brother, don't ask, don't ask. If I knew you were good at this, my brother would have given you a few boys who are more flavorful than this."

"Zhongshun, shut up." Shui Chen scolded him with a dark face when he heard that his words became more and more unsightly.

King Zhongshun shut his mouth obediently, and walked away with a smile.A bunch of officials, big and small, looked at Yang Yi with disgust or thoughtful eyes.
