Night falls, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse,

In the west wing of the inner house, the young lady has a fragrant boudoir.

Zijuan bent over and spread a brocade quilt on the bed covered with a layer of cloud and smoke gauze, while Daiyu sat in front of the crescent window with candlelight, her right hand supporting the side of her cheek as thick as a lychee, looking sideways at Zijuan. Juan, there was a hint of dissatisfaction and resentment in his eyes.

After Zijuan spread her arms on the bed, she straightened up and looked at Lin Daiyu.

Seeing Lin Daiyu's strange eyes, Zijuan said angrily: "Girl, you're still annoyed!"

Zijuan defended Lin Daiyu in the hall and said a lot of things that she shouldn't have said, which was really a step beyond her limits. If it were someone who cares about her, and a maid would talk too much casually, it would not be an annoyance to others.

Lin Daiyu snorted coldly and said dissatisfied: "Whoever makes you talkative is being looked down upon for nothing. Could it be that you, the girl, just saw others getting the upper hand and thought about changing to Gao Zhi."

Zijuan was so angry that she couldn't speak. She stamped her feet and said: "My good girl...who are you doing this for? You are not just looking after you, but Uncle Yun from Dongfu is also the girl's nephew. This servant didn't think that he would be able to help me, so I just said a few words.

Now that things are done, the girl is blaming me!"

Seeing that Zijuan was annoyed, Lin Daiyu realized that she had said the wrong thing. Lin Daiyu still knew Zijuan's character, and she was a good maid who knew the warmth and warmth.

It's just that Zijuan made it clear, letting Jia Yun and others know that the Lin family's nonsense was really not good.

Lin Daiyu has a sensitive mind and is afraid that she will be looked down upon by others.

After all, there is still no one to protect me, and I am bullied by others...

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu felt confused...

Seeing this, Zicuckoo knew that her girl was overthinking things, so she hurriedly said: "Girl, don't overthink things. Let Uncle Yun drive away those annoying people, and the house will be cleaner."

Lin Daiyu chuckled lightly, but then slowly shook her head, and said helplessly: "It's not that easy. I guess those uncles will come again after a while."

Zijuan suppressed her smile, looked at Daiyu and said carefully: "Isn't Uncle Yun at home? Does the girl say so?"

Lin Daiyu said angrily: "What nonsense!"

Isn’t it weird to say that Uncle Yun is at home? Jia Yun and others live in a government office, which is separated from the inner house! ...

Zicuckoo scratched her head and said with a smile: "Don't pay attention to this, young lady. Anyway, those uncles are here and leave it to Uncle Yun to deal with. As for you, just take care of him."

When talking about Lin Ruhai, Lin Daiyu suddenly fell silent. Lin Ruhai's body really can't last long...

Zijuan hurriedly changed the subject and said: "Girl, it's getting late, go to bed early!"

Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes at Zicuckoo angrily and said, "This is strange. Don't you know what time I sleep at night?"

Lin Daiyu never slept very often, often waking up in the middle of the night, crying in the middle of the night, and barely falling asleep for a while in the early morning.

To put it bluntly, she thinks too much and suffers from insomnia, which is also the reason why she is not in good health.

Zicuckoo's face became solemn and she hurriedly advised: "Girl, your health is important."

Lin Daiyu shook her head. If she can't sleep, she can't sleep. How can she force herself...

"Brother, have you made arrangements?" Lin Daiyu asked.

The brother Lin Daiyu mentioned was the adopted son sent from her hometown in Suzhou. Lin Daiyu took this matter very lightly. After all, it was a common thing and very normal.

Zicuckoo replied: "Mama Liu is taking care of her, so don't worry, girl."

Aunt Liu was married to Lin Daiyu's mother, Jia Min, and she was Lin Daiyu's "family member", so she was naturally at ease.

After nodding her head, Lin Daiyu said nothing more. Instead, she picked up the white paper on the desk beside her and started reading. It was a long night and she had no intention of sleeping, so she looked for a book to pass the time.

Zicuckoo saw that her girl was not resting, so there was nothing she could do about it. The girl was thinking too much and didn't sleep much. She could read a book to avoid wandering thoughts...

.............

The official office at the second entrance of Yanzheng Yamen has three suites, both large and small, with exquisite furnishings.

All kinds of furniture and antiques are mainly made of exquisite but not gorgeous porcelain, which looks pleasing to the eye and is very comfortable like the water color of Jiangnan.

In the room, King Zhongshun and Jia Yun were sitting together in the room.

King Zhongshun took a sip of tea and ordered: "Jia Yun, the salt soldiers from the Yanzheng Yamen are scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Those salt merchants are now "distinguished guests" and cannot be careless."

Jia Yun responded in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the lower officials and others have made arrangements, and they will definitely not neglect the "distinguished guests"."

King Zhongshun nodded and looked at Jia Yun with satisfaction. These salt merchants, if you don't give them a blow, they don't know the benefits. Donating so much money is not worth the stubbornness. They are just sending them away to beg for food.

After pondering for a moment, Jia Yun said truthfully: "Your Majesty, I estimate that it won't have any effect. You'd better not have any expectations, so as not to be disappointed."

These salt merchants dared to deal with it before, which shows that they have their own confidence. If they are threatened, they can give in, and they will not be unable to do their previous superficial work well.

King Zhongshun raised his eyebrows and said casually: "We can't force them to donate money! If this is the case, the emperor's case will be filled with memorials to impeach us. By then, we will not be in a good position."

Then King Zhongshun looked up at Jia Yun and joked: "I am a royal nobleman, so naturally I don't have anything to do, but it is Jia Shen who leads... Haha..."

Jia Yun couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard this. King Zhongshun's words are indeed correct. Few people dare to offend a royal nobleman. As King Zhongshun, if he doesn't commit any serious crime, it is usually a trivial matter that won't hurt his bones.

But Jia Yun...

Not to mention being a branch of the Duke of Guo's Mansion, but a legitimate direct descendant of the Duke of Guo's Mansion, that's not good enough.

After all, the entire Daqian Dynasty had many nobles and nobles, and those civil servants and censors were not polite.

Picking up weak persimmons and pinching them, Jia Yun's waist is not straight, so he will naturally be bullied.

Jia Yun replied: "My lord, I think I'd better take a look at the attitude of those salt merchants tomorrow. I don't think they are timid. If you scare them, the matter will be done."

King Zhongshun didn't take it seriously and snorted coldly: "Can you say this?"

Jia Yun curled his lips helplessly. The money is in the hands of others, so what can you do?

Looking at Jia Yun's helpless expression, King Zhongshun also sighed: "If Lin Ruhai hadn't done this, given his ability, this job wouldn't have required much effort."

Jia Yun was silent. Although the Yanzheng Yamen is now in charge of the Yamen, it is not easy to let others take out the money in their belts for nothing...
