New House

In the side hall of the royal palace, three or four candles swayed in the milky white gauze cover, and the white tongues of flames kept spitting out, emitting hazy light. In the corners around, several strings of red lanterns were hanging high, making the entire side hall shine transparently.

Nanjing prefect Wang Ren and his aide Li Zuiren sat opposite each other. The small round table was set up with a good table. Although it was mostly cold, it was also tempting and tempting, and it was most suitable for drinking.

"Huori, what do you think of Tan Zong?" Wang Ren gently put down his wine glass, and the figure of the handsome young man flashed through his mind.

"Tan Zong? Is that scholar who claims to be full of flowers?" Li Zuiren glanced at Wang Ren and couldn't help but think in his heart.

When the name Tan Zong first appeared in the ears of the people in the royal palace, it was not that this person became Ya Yuan of Nanjing Palace, but that this person was jealous of Wang Ren's eldest son Wang Dong, and actually wanted to put Su Jin, a famous singer in Jiangnan into the room.

Su Jin has always been regarded as a forbidden body by Wang Dong, so how can he tolerate Tan Zong's infamous child like this?

Not to mention how Wang Dong was so angry that he wanted to set fire to the warehouse for the river bank, but he wanted to make a plan to kill Tan Zong as a scapegoat. He said that Li Zuiren couldn't help but be surprised after hearing this!

You should know that Su Jin is not simple. Although he is famous in Jiangnan, the reputation of this strong woman in the Qing Dynasty was spread throughout the prefectures around Nanjing Prefecture. Even Jiaozhou near Nanjing Prefecture, some scholars and scholars from Zhuzhou came here specifically, and as for those famous scholars who love elegance, there are countless.

These scholars did not listen to the songs, but just wanted to see everyone in Su and returned home. Some good scholars in Changsha Prefecture in Zhuzhou wrote some "unreasonable" flattering articles to spread them, creating momentum for Su Jin.

What's more, it is rumored that some booksellers in the north have even published some novels with Su Jin as the template, and even spring opera books with Su Jin as the protagonist.

It is hard to say that Su Jin, a tough woman, is already too famous in the Jiangnan Palaces. Even if the prefect of the government wants to deal with this woman, he has to consider the reactions of the lieutenants: I am afraid that the lieutenants who have learned the news will rebel, and even the threshold of the Nanjing Prefecture Office will be broken!

In the enlightened Dashun Dynasty, such things have always been repeated. Even if the officials hear it, they will just laugh and scold a few ridiculous words, but they will not really issue an order to get people.

Fortunately, Su Jin was used to being low-key. Although he was often invited to walk around the government, he rarely interacted with official figures. Instead, he often interacted with scholars and juren, often drank tea and savors together, and occasionally made friends with piano. Li Zuiren had accidentally heard Su Jin's personal maid Xiaoman say earlier that Su Jin had many correspondence with Jiaozhou's "previous records" Jie Yuan and Li Mubai, Yayuan and Wang Yucun, who were in contact with Jie Yuan in Zhuzhou.

Li Mubai had already passed the last major exam and won the second place selected by the government. He is now preparing a book in the Hanlin Academy and is said to be entering the Ministry of Personnel soon. However, Wang Yucun won the second place. After staying in Beijing for a year, he was attracted by Mr. Li last year. At this time, he also took office in Hongzhou and was in charge of the people's livelihood in a county.

Li Zuiren once thought that if Su Jin was a little ambitious and used some romantic means in private, he would probably have to fight all the Jie Yuan and Ya Yuan from the Jiangnan prefectures. After a few years, if these Jie Yuan and Ya Yuan join hands to cause trouble, wouldn’t they also be a force that should not be underestimated in the court? I am afraid that even the old men would have to rack their brains and try their best to win over these individuals to calm them down.

Fortunately, the opportunity is extremely slim, and if Su Jin does this, he can't be called Su Jin.

But Tan Zong was indeed beyond Li Zuiren's expectations for taking Su Jin into the room.

Since Tan Zong made a bet with Su Jin, Li Zuiren Zeng Xunchun, who had just heard of Tan Zong's name, had some information about Tan Zong. He heard that although Tan Zong was famous in Luming Academy, he had a wide range of friends, he was even more appreciated by the eldest son Sun, who was in charge of the academy. He once had the idea of ​​creating the legend of "master, apprentice, father-in-law and son-in-law", he ended up putting the matter down because of the opposition of Mr. Sun's only female son.

However, although they cannot be master-apprentice and son-in-law, the relationship between the two is not unfamiliar, but is more familiar. According to rumors, Tan Zong has already regarded Mr. Sun as his teacher - but it is not the kind of master-apprentice relationship with a false reputation, but the real master-apprentice match!

Tan Zong's life experience is just average, and his family only has nearly 100 acres of fertile land. Even with only ten servants in his family, he is still included in the tenants who work long-term workers. However, the Tan family is well-known in Yuhang area. After the second flood season in spring and summer, he often uses some rice and millet to make porridge, but it is highly respected by local people. Even the land at home is often rented out because the rent is slightly lower than others.

However, no matter how famous he is, it is probably difficult to impress Su Jin. But unexpectedly, Su Jin agreed to Tan Zong's bet and was even willing to accept the loss. He even paid the money to redeem himself. He moved into Tan Zong's courtyard in the inn on the day the results were announced.

It's really envious of others!

But if this is the case, Tan Zong is just a lucky person, so how can he get into the eyes of Wang Ren, who has been in charge of Nanjing for more than ten years? It is because Wang Ren’s major events have been involved in Tan Zong to a greater or lesser extent recently.

First, it was the fire.

Although the account book was burned clean, Tan Zong's ability to survive left a flaw in the game. Although according to common sense, a mere scholar in this academy could not have access to tax knowledge for the time being, and the information obtained from the academy did confirm that Tan Zong had never read these "idle books".

But things in the world are not absolute, and no one knows whether Tan Zong is talented. Therefore, Li Zuiren immediately suggested to Wang Ren afterwards that in case of precautions, he would simply eliminate all the troubles in order to avoid disasters in the future. However, Wang Ren put aside this matter.

Another thing is the matter of a Korean gentleman dealing with Tan Zong today.

Although Han Yishen was secretly done, it was a pity that Tan Zong and the Blood Flag Army had a big fuss in front of the government office. Even if they could hide it for a while, how could they hide it for a lifetime? Besides, Han Yishen came to report it, and Tan Zong seemed to be in a mixed relationship with Zhao Yunan, the An King who secretly went out of the capital to secretly visit Jiangnan, which made people even more wary of this person's energy.

According to the latest news from Beijing, King An of An was the candidate sent by the government to investigate secretly, but he went to Jiangnan several months earlier than those savvy officials. The only thing that could make Wang Ren feel a little relieved was that Zhao Yunan had not started this time, and it was thought that he had been wandering around Jiangnan for a long time in the past few months but had nothing to do.

Thinking of this, Li Zuiren suddenly fell out because he thought of the method of replacing pillars on the river bank. If it weren't for this method, he would probably have to worry about Wang Ren's head being emptied if he wanted to collect the 200,000 taels of silver that he would send to the capital every year.

Although the tips brought back from Suzhou by Chun Er once said that King An of An had had contact with Su Jin in Suzhou, and even had an inn eyeliner who heard the young master shouting "Old Friends of Suzhou" in front of the courtyard. However, in any case, the interference between Tan Zong and Zhao Yun'an made Li Zuiren feel a little uneasy, and vaguely felt that it would cause some leaks to appear in the originally solid Nanjing city because of the two people's random disturbances, and finally buried the great situation in Nanjing city.

After thinking about this, Li Zuiren was also struggling for a long time in his heart, and finally reached a conclusion: "It's hard to say, it's hard to say. However, Tan Zong's fortune is too good. Whenever he is in trouble, he will have noble people to help him. Lord, I want me to say that in case, it's better to take advantage of Tan Zong's wings before he is full of strength. Otherwise, even if he and King An only had a first meeting with him and had not understood the details, he would only use the gap between the eldest son and this person, and he would probably come back and make things difficult for us when Tan Zong gained power."

Seeing Li Zuiren mention this matter again, Wang Ren nodded slightly, then shook his head and said, "This is a troublesome time, but it is not advisable to cause trouble. Otherwise, if Su Jin retaliates, it is probably not only those scholars and juren, but even King An will also participate openly, but it will be unsatisfactory at that time. At this moment, let this prince check slowly below. Just wait for the men from the capital to finish the investigation, and the prince will naturally follow him. Let it go first, let it go first."

"Where is the eldest son?" Li Zuoren was irresistible. He was an aide and was only responsible for offering suggestions to Wang Ren and making some suggestions. In the end, Wang Ren himself was the one who took the matter. However, according to Wang Ren's thoughts, Wang Dong, the eldest son of the mansion, would have to be restrained. Otherwise, if he clashed with Tan Zong again, the situation at this moment would cause variables.

"Don't worry, don't fall in love with me. I have asked Mr. Han to say hello to take advantage of the opportunity of Cuiyun Pavilion dinner tomorrow to ask him to reconcile with Tan Zong. And the girl named Xiaoman also asked him to send her back together. It is indeed not appropriate to get involved in these things now. After these days, I will ask him to go back to his hometown in Shandong."

"Since the adults have considered it all, the students are overthinking." Li Zuiren drank the wine in the glass and smiled loudly, "But since the adults are a little interested in Tan Menghua, the students will meet him. I can't say that this guy who has lost all the flowers in his dream is still an unattainable wonderful person." After saying that, he shook his body and did not look like a regular person.

Wang Ren sat alone in the side hall for a long time. At the end, the two pots of wine on the table had dried up, but no one had moved the cold pin on the table. The two pairs of jade chopsticks wrapped in silver foil were even not even a bit of meat.

The night gradually became colder.

As the sky gradually became dark, Tan Zong was so tired that he wanted to sleep. However, after the girls came back yesterday, they were excited to tell Tan Zong that they had found a good house that they could satisfy. They brought a garden in front of the second entrance and second entrance and exit. Although the area was not large, it was very delicate, which made the girls very happy. Even Su Jin was very moved, so he decided to buy it directly.

Originally, according to Tan Zong's intention, it was just a few days to rent it out, but I thought that the family would go back to Yuhang after all. Even if they didn't go back to Yuhang, as Tan Zong's current official position, he would probably have to go back to the capital to listen to the mission. It would be very difficult to stay in Nanjing.

But since Su Jin had already set the tone, Tan Zong naturally couldn't refute her face and had to accept it.

When Tan Zong said he wanted to renovate and move in again, the girls were reluctant and said they were bothered to live in the inn. Tan Zong remembered that in the past few days, he had spent too much on Jiang Wu and others, and actually forgot that Qinghe, Lianxiang and a few maids were squeezed into the same room.

That is, Qinghe is more generous, otherwise such things would be offended.

So Tan Zong felt soft and agreed, which led to this whole day's matter.

Although there are not many things for the four masters and three maids, that is, some clothes and bedding, the new house has been vacant for a long time, and the large furniture must be re-used. Some small items seem to be available, but they will basically be abandoned after being abandoned for a long time. Therefore, Tan Zong accompanied the three girls to pick up the whole daytime thing in Taipei City. Just this daytime made Tan Zong regain the feeling of shopping with his girlfriend in the future. Although it was a little tired, a few girls were very proud of their side.

Especially Lianxiang, this woman was the most bold. Not only was she not wearing a veil, but she was dressed up a little more enchantingly, even with dazzling amounts on her forehead, she kept slapping Tan Zong's arm and laughed happily. I don't know if this woman was really naive, or deliberately teasing Tan Zong, or stimulating Su Jin.

After a day of busy work, I asked someone from the carriage to help, and the house was finally set up. However, the flowerbed in the back garden had to be repaired, and even some of the wood in the house had to be repainted. Now it looks a bit dilapidated. This is the consequence of moving in in a hurry.

However, compared with another thing, these are just small things. What really made Tan Zong tired was that as soon as he moved the house, Li Fasan took a few stout servants into the door.

"Mr. Ya Yuan, what you ordered is finally done this time." As soon as he entered the door, Li Fasan said to Tan Zongxi with a smile.

Tan Zong looked at several servants who seemed respectful, all tall and strong, with calluses on their hands, and they thought they were doing old things. But the more they were like this, Tan Zong hated Li Fasan more and more, and wanted to punch this guy.
