"The pink light...is like the face, the vermillion color...is as beautiful as the lips..."

The next morning, when the sky was dim and bright, a young man walked in from the back door of the Yanzheng Yamen and went straight to the guest room in the backyard. The salt soldiers guarding him saw this and did not stop him. They even greeted him.

The young man is dressed in cloud satin and brocade, with a smile on his lips and handsome facial features. He looks like a handsome man.

Jia Yun knew this man, but he had never met him seriously, but he had a good relationship with his wife.

This person is Jia Lian, the legitimate son of the eldest son of Duke Rong. Lin Daiyu was escorted by him earlier and temporarily stayed in the Yanzheng Yamen. The salt soldiers guarding knew his identity and naturally they would not stop him.

Jia Lian lingered around yesterday and only got up from the gentle village this morning.

Without the control of the tigress, he was feeling refreshed and singing Kunqu opera with great contentment!

Stepping into Langfang, a maid happened to be walking in front of her. Seeing Jia Lian, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I have met Second Master Lian."

"Oh... Zicuckoo, how is Sister Lin?" Jia Lian saw the visitor and asked in passing when greeting him.

Zicuckoo replied: "The girl woke up early and is now waiting in the master's room!"

Jia Lian nodded and said sternly: "Go and tell Sister Lin that those old gangsters don't need to pay attention to them. With me here, they won't be able to bully Sister Lin. Let her feel at ease."

Zijuan didn't care in her heart. This second master Lian was talking about being light, but when the matter came to an end, there was no one in sight.

However, although Zicuckoo was serving Lin Daiyu, she was a member of Jia's family and did not dare to treat her coldly, so she said harmoniously: "Second Master, don't worry. Yesterday, Uncle Yun from Dongfu took those pickled

They were sent out of the house together, and the girl is fine now!"

"Oh... By the way, Uncle Yun is now close to the Imperial Envoy. He said he came to Jiangnan on a mission. Would you like to go and have a look?"

"...Why does Uncle Yun from Dongfu want me to visit him?"

Jia Lian dismissed it, and his first reaction was that he still needed to see him?

Shao Qing seemed to have remembered something. Jia Lian frowned and asked, "Uncle Yun from Dongfu? But who is Jia Yun?"

Zijuan replied: "It's Uncle Yun."

At this time Jia Lian came to his senses and found out that it was Uncle Yun. He had heard about it before and was warned by the person next to him not to provoke him.

Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian were husband and wife, so they naturally told him everything he needed to tell. He also stayed away from Jia Yun, who didn't even show affection to the old lady, and he would not provoke them like those mindless people.

Unlike other men in the Jia Mansion who simply ate and waited to die, Jia Lian was still somewhat capable. Many major events in the Rongguo Mansion were completed under his auspices, and it was Rongguo Mansion's responsibility to the outside world.

Nodding, Jia Lian asked in surprise: "He kicked those two couples out?"

Zijuan nodded and replied: "Uncle Yun said that since they were adopted, there was no reason for them to stay, so he arranged for someone to send them out."

When Jia Lian heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, what a gift, and he said it so elegantly...

How can Jia Yun have the confidence to take care of the Lin family's affairs? He is disgusting for nothing. If outsiders know about it, they will only say that the Jia family is bullying others and damaging the Jia family's reputation.

Although I am dissatisfied, since the matter has already happened, it is useless to say more. If I go to find the unreasonable Jia Yun, I am afraid I will be asking for trouble.

If Jia Yun was a reasonable person, he wouldn't contradict the old lady, would he?

Thinking of this, Jia Lian shook his head. Anyway, the matter had nothing to do with him. He just had to handle his own affairs. Then Jia Lian said: "In that case, I won't disturb Sister Lin."

After saying this, Jia Lian walked towards the guest room, yawning continuously.

Seeing this, Zicuckoo sighed inwardly. Logically speaking, Jia Lian is closer to her girl and is her elder brother. But in the end, she still has to rely on her nephew for help. It's really...

.It’s hard to describe in one word.

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

At noon, the forest is like a sea in the house.

Zijuan walked in with a bowl of jade stem rice porridge and several exquisite Jiangnan side dishes. Seeing the dried tears on Lin Daiyu's pretty face leaning against the bed, Zijuan felt bitter in her heart. This situation is very common nowadays.

The girl has to cry several times every day, even if she can't be persuaded, she won't be able to stop it.

"Girl, eat some!" Zijuan said distressedly.

Lin Daiyu hasn't eaten since she got up, which really gives Zijuan a headache.

Lin Daiyu shook her head when she heard this and said, "Let it go! I have no appetite and can't eat it."

Zijuan said bitterly: "At least eat some cushions. It's always like this. How can your body bear it? If you're exhausted, who will take care of it?"

The Lin family is also the family of a prince, so how could there be a shortage of people to take care of it? It's just that others don't take care of it as much as Lin Daiyu does.

These words reminded Lin Daiyu of the Lin family's poverty, and she started crying again, crying: "This is good, it's better than leaving me alone."

Zijuan was startled when she heard this and said hurriedly: "Girl, please don't think like this, there is an old lady in the capital, Second Master Bao and all the girls are waiting for you!

Moreover, the slave is always with the girl, so she is alone again!"

Lin Daiyu was silent, and Zijuan sighed in her heart. Her girl couldn't go on like this. Over time, her already weak body was exhausted. After thinking for a moment, Zijuan suddenly said: "Girl, I heard that Uncle Yun can do it."

I've finished my errands and I'm sure I haven't eaten yet, so why don't we send it over so I can thank you in person?"

Lin Daiyu raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and after thinking for a moment, she felt that what Zijuan said was reasonable, and she had helped after all, so it was appropriate to show her sincerity.

Nodding lightly, Lin Daiyu said: "Okay, tell the kitchen to make some exquisite Jiangnan side dishes, and we will send them over later."

Seeing that Lin Daiyu's mind had changed, Zijuan felt relieved for the time being. She thought about saying hello to Uncle Yun later and asking him to comfort the girl. After all, in Zijuan's eyes, this Uncle Yun is comparable to that Lian.

The second master is much more reliable.

In the flower hall of the second entrance courtyard of Yanzheng Yamen.

King Zhongshun sat in the hall with a gloomy face, while Jia Yun sat at the bottom with a calm face. There were only two people in the hall, King Zhongshun and Jia Yun.

After a long silence, Jia Yun said: "Your Majesty, this is a reasonable thing, so why should you care."

King Zhongshun snorted coldly when he heard this and said: "I really don't know what to say. He raised the issue of "increasing quotation" overtly and covertly, refused to donate money if he didn't, and cried poor in front of me. I really thought I was fooling him."

Everyone in the world knew that Yangzhou salt merchants were wealthy. If not, how could Emperor Chongming name them and ask them to come to Jiangnan to raise funds?

The year before last, a Yangzhou salt merchant wanted to show that he was rich, so he bought a lot of cherries from other places. He didn't eat them, but smashed them all. After smashing them, he poured them into the river. The river water suddenly turned red, and they were all covered with water.

The cherry turned red, and the salt merchant seemed to have accomplished a great feat. He was so proud and boastful that it shocked the whole city.

At this time, another salt merchant couldn't stand it, and an even more clever one came. He asked someone to break the gold into gold foil, and then ordered people to take these gold foils to Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang, and scatter thousands of gold foils in the wind.

All of them were scattered into the Yangtze River. For a time, the entire river surface shimmered with golden light. Everyone was shocked!

Showing off wealth is so elegant and refined, wouldn't it be a joke to start crying about poverty at this time!

There are four majors in Yangzhou: "There are many officials, many businessmen, many literati, and many idlers."

There is no need to go into details if there are many officials and businessmen, and it is easy to understand if there are many literati.

As for the large number of idle people, this is because the salt merchants are rich. If an ordinary family can have one or two people working as servants for the salt merchants, the income will be enough to support the whole family. It is so easy to make a living, so there are more idle people.

We don’t mention having more money in everything, but everything is related to having more money...

"The salt of the two Huaihe rivers makes the world free." This is not a groundless saying...

Jia Yun said calmly: "They said they have no money, so there is nothing they can do. We can't confiscate their homes and check the money in these people's homes!..."

After complaining, Jia Yun added: "Fortunately, these people didn't get nothing, they still donated some money."

King Zhongshun sneered and cursed: "What use can these hundreds of thousands taels of silver have?"

The salt merchants scraped together, and at any rate they collected hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and donated it. This amount of money was a huge sum for an individual, but for the millions of victims, it was a drop in the bucket.

Jia Yun pondered for a moment and said: "It's better than nothing. Now let's use these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy food for disaster relief. Every victim saved counts as one."

When King Zhongshun heard this, he thought it was reasonable and ordered: "Leave it to the Yangzhou magistrate and let him open more porridge sheds to help the victims."

Jia Yun nodded and shouted outside: "Zhang Sheng."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Sheng walked in and said hurriedly and respectfully: "What are your orders, sir?"

Jia Yun said: "Send the money donated by the salt merchants to the Yangzhou magistrate's office and ask him to open more porridge sheds to help the victims."

After a pause, Jia Yun added: "Assign people to keep an eye on the porridge shed in the west city outside the city."

King Zhongshun raised his eyes and looked at Jia Yun without saying anything.

Zhang Sheng replied: "I respect your order."

After saying this, Zhang Sheng said: "Your Majesty, sir, the young lady from the Lin family outside the hall wants to see you."

The young lady of the Lin family is naturally Lin Daiyu.

Jia Yun also said why Zhang Sheng walked in as soon as he opened his mouth. He was here to report, and he happened to bump into him.

Then Jia Yun remained silent. After all, it was not him who made the decision, but King Zhongshun in the hall.

King Zhongshun in the hall glanced at Jia Yun and then ordered: "Let her in."

Zhang Sheng replied respectfully and prepared to retreat to make arrangements.

At this time, King Zhongshun added: "The lady of the Lin family is my niece. If she comes in the future, there is no need to stop her."

"Yes..." Zhang Sheng accepted the order and came down.

After a while, Lin Daiyu walked in with Zicuckoo and several maids. The maid held a tray filled with Jiangnan special dishes.

As usual, Lin Daiyu was wearing plain clothes, her face was worried about her health, and she was suffering from ailments all over her body, and she moved like Liu Fufeng.

After entering the hall, Lin Daiyu saluted King Zhongshun and said, "I have met the prince."

King Zhongshun chuckled and said: "Niece Lin, don't be polite, just call me uncle."

Lin Daiyu was stunned when she heard this, then came to her senses, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, and replied: "My niece has met my uncle."

King Zhongshun smiled and nodded.

Lin Daiyu then tilted her head and nodded to Jia Yun, which was regarded as a greeting. After all, Jia Yun is a junior and there is no rule for elders to salute juniors.

"Uncle, my niece thought that uncle hadn't eaten yet, so she ordered someone to prepare some Jiangnan snacks."

King Zhongshun smiled and nodded, saying: "Niece Lin's kind intentions are met with disrespect by me."

After saying this, King Zhongshun turned his head to Jia Yun and said, "What did Jia Shenling say?"
