Chapter 280 Omen of the coming storm

Song Yuhua also wanted to go, but she had no reason. Jiang Linglong went to visit her distant aunt. What name did she go?

So she didn't speak and went home in a depressed mood.

That night, Liu Zhiyi returned home. Seeing that the home was well prepared, he cleaned it inside and out, and even changed the window screen. He added a lot of utensils, including porcelain from Chujun, copper furnaces, silk and fine cloth from Jiangnan. He bought tables, chairs, stools, beds, couches, kangs, sedan chairs, boxes, cabinets, kitchens, grids, screens, partitions, basins, stoves, tripods, mats, bookshelfs and other furniture from Beijing, and spent tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Is this necessary?

Although Jiang Linglong is a female official in the palace, she dare not provoke him and even wants to make friends, but that is because she is a close minister in the palace. The court officials either have a purpose or are afraid of slander. Liu Dadao, a small town official, cannot make friends with him. Si Yan is only a seventh-rank official, and he can't help much. So spending this money was not for Jiang Linglong.

Jiang Linglong's father was a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, and he was a fourth-rank official. Not only did he be promoted from Yuanwailang to a doctor, but he was also transferred from Lingnan to Jiangnan. This was a fat flaw. Because Lingnan was a border county, there was a military governor and the Lingnan king, the court could not enter the court at all. The civil servants of Lingnan were always idle. Jiangnan was a close place in the court and directly under the jurisdiction of the county. Therefore, the civil servants of the Jiangnan Office of the Ministry of Revenue not only had real power, but also had rich wealth. The doctors of the Jiangnan Office of the Jiangnan Office also supervised Jiangnan Weaving. Not only did they make money, but they were also prone to political achievements. Therefore, the doctors of the Jiangnan Office of the Jiangnan Office were generally selected as assistant ministers. Once there was a vacancy, they could basically be promoted.

Liu Zhiyi thought that he had already been very thoughtful when he went back the night before, but his uncle's family came three days in advance. Compared to the Liu family, the Jiang family might be more profitable to recognize this relative. The Jiang family is a businessman who runs a boat trip on the Xiajiang River. Xiajing and Jiangnan are must-see places for those who run boats.

Not only did the uncle and his wife come, but even their beloved son Jiang Yanyi, who was studying in the Imperial Academy, asked for leave. He knew that making a good minister would be beneficial to the future officialdom, and his father was paving the way for him, but Jiang Yanyi looked unhappy. He obviously learned a scholarly aura in school and was disdainful to get in touch with him.

When Liu Zhiyi came back, except for his family sending someone to call him, he was mainly curious about what power the jade on Jiang Linglong's body contained. He had already figured out the jade on Song Yuhua's body, and it contained a majestic force of punishment. Understanding that breath was very helpful to Liu Zhiyi.

The male was waiting outside the gate, while the female family was waiting in front of the house.

Liu Zhiyi was idle and had nothing to do, so he teased his cousin.

"I heard that you are now called a young Jinshi in the Imperial Academy?"

This cousin has many problems, but his talent is real, he is a little bit sarcastic, but he is diligent in studying. He has already reached the ninth level of Jinshi and has a little fame.

Jiang Yanyi looked arrogant: "The academic performance has improved a little."

Liu Zhiyi said: "I will be the top scorer the next year!"

Jiang Yanyi glared at him, very depressed. He had already worked hard and made obvious progress. Among the Confucian disciples of the Taixue School, he had made rapid progress. Xueyu had tried harder. But no matter how hard he worked, he could not catch up with this cousin. His cousin's poetry meeting today, he would go south to go to the south to open a bank the next day, and even went to the palace to go to the palace, but his cultivation had not fallen at all. There were rumors in the Taixue School that the next imperial examination, the top scorer was in the Taixue School because his cousin was there. However, the news has changed a little recently. The cousin followed the sacrificial wine to enter the palace to make a warning. Later, the emperor and the empress issued a self-destruction. This matter seemed to affect the future of the Taoist cousin.

Jiang Yanyi said: "Don't you cousin take the exam?"

Liu Zhiyi sighed: "I have no intention of career!"

Ghostly believe.

If he had not offended the Empress Dowager and placed the top scholar there, he would not believe that his cousin would not be able to go there. With his cousin's talent, he would definitely be able to enter the top ten. As long as he entered the top ten, he would be pushed to the court. The empress dowager personally appointed a noun and would generally take care of the famous talented man. With his cousin's fame, as long as he did not offend the Empress Dowager, wouldn't the top scholar be able to be easily captured? So, the rumors are true, and he did offend the Empress Dowager. In front of everyone, he entered the palace to die and advised him. The empress dowager issued an edict to offend him no matter how he looked at him.

He suddenly felt a little regretful. He used to be jealous of his cousin's talent, but now he heard that his career was ruined, he turned into sympathy. Jiang Yanyi suddenly woke up. It turned out that what he had been jealous of was not his cousin's talent, but his future. He felt that he had to go back and face the wall, but his heart was not right!

If you subconsciously correct the crown, it is easy to correct the crown, but it is difficult to correct the mind.

Liu Dadao was looking forward to it, and finally a fast horse came over. The one who came down immediately was a young man, a servant of the Liu family.

"Master, cross the bridge!"

Liu Dadao asked, "How many people have come?"

The boy shook his head: "I don't know. There are more than ten carriages."

"Okay, go Tantan again."

Liu Dadao smiled. The bigger the other party's pomp, in addition to the owner's face, it also means that they value this distant relative.

Jiang Yanyi was also happy, although he was puzzled. His family fled to Xia County during the war. At that time, the world was in chaos, and Xia Taizu was not the only rebel army. Although the Jiang County Office did not hold up the banner of righteousness, there were several rebel army activities in Jiang County. The cavalry of the Rong Kingdom suppressed the rebellion and launched a large-scale killing in Jiang County. Jiang County was not as many mountains as Ying County, so many families were forced to flee. Jiang Ci's ancestors were just ordinary gentry in Jiang County, and they didn't have much concern, so they fled to Xia County. After several generations of business, they had their current family wealth. Because their ancestors were also gentry, they looked down on each other after marrying Liu Dadao. The Liu family thought that their family was a town official, and they thought that the Jiang family was a businessman. The Jiang family thought that the Liu family was a martial man, and their family was born into a gentry.

After so many years of competition, Liu Zhiyi was born, making Jiang Ci keep breathing. Although his son is also outstanding, the comparison made him feel so frustrated. But he didn't expect that a clan member who stayed in Jiang County that year not only survived, but also made some contributions. After the war, he was promoted from a gentry to a doctor. Unfortunately, his ancestor Jiang Ci was struggling in poverty at that time and did not understand these situations at all, otherwise he might have moved back to Jiang County. God has eyes. Last month, someone suddenly came from the capital and handed a post to ask about the family situation. Compared with the genealogy, it turned out to be the same branch. The other party was interested in marriage, so how could Jiang Ci disagreed?

He climbed up to this relative and made Jiang Ci stand up straight. He thought that his son would enter the officialdom in a few years, with the same clan's care and his official career would be prosperous, and his surname Jiang would grow from him.

Moreover, there were clan relatives like the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, which made Jiang Ci finally exhaled in front of his in-laws.

The servants riding horse ran back twice and reported that the guests had finally arrived at the entrance of the pavilion.

Liu Dadao immediately greeted the male at home, sorted out his appearance, and waited with peace of mind.

Carriages soon appeared in everyone's sight. Liu Zhiyi couldn't help but wonder, the daughter of a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue had to do such a big show when visiting relatives? This would be criticized if it was rumored.

After counting, there were 12 carriages in total, and there were riders escorting them next to the carriage.

The twelve carriages were exactly the same. Liu Zhiyi guessed it was for safety. After all, there were fragments of the territory on Jiang Linglong, and I don’t know how many forces were staring at him in secret. He began to guess which car Jiang Linglong would be in, and he guessed it soon.

He was very bold, and he was in the first car because there was a special guard next to the car, Song Yuhua, dressed as a man.

Song Yuhua also saw him and showed a smile.

The convoy stopped ten feet away, and Liu Dadao immediately called someone up to greet him.

The guard stepped back, and a maid got off the carriage, rolled up the curtains, and helped a woman dressed in a lady out of it.

With a veil, who else would be Jiang Linglong? She glanced across the crowd and looked at Liu Zhiyi. She then withdrew her gaze when she saw Liu Zhiyi.

At this time, Liu Dadao had already brought people to meet him, and she immediately bowed and bowed.

"Linglong has met his uncle and his uncle!"

Jiang Ci and Liu Dadao nodded slightly, they were elders.

"Thank you for your hard work in Linglong, hurry up and go to the mansion."

The two of them led the way from left to right, and Jiang Linglong was supported by the maid and followed him into the mansion. Other men followed behind, and the servants of the Jiang family moved boxes of gifts from the carriage. The twelve carriages were actually filled with gifts. It seemed that Lord Jiang had made a lot of money in his position in Jiangnan.

As a guard, Song Yuhua followed Jiang Linglong, deliberately dragging her back a little, and approaching Liu Zhiyi.

"Why are you following?"

Liu Zhiyi asked in a low voice.

Song Yuhua said: "As a lady, she is not convenient for her to do anything, so I will come with her to pass the message."

"It's that simple?"

Liu Zhiyi didn't believe it. For this reason, Jiang Linglong was willing to take his competitors.

Song Yuhua blinked: "That's it. By the way, I can go to the beach with you."

Liu Zhiyi wondered: "Why?"

He didn't believe that Song Shoubai dared to let his baby granddaughter leave the capital.

Song Yuhua smiled and said, "I've joined the Demon Suppression Department!"

The Demon Suppression Department hasn't heard this name for a long time. The Demon Suppression Department is a secret organization. The General of the Jinwu Guard is directly under the jurisdiction of the general, who is responsible for secret inspections and handling the disasters of monsters. The Demon Suppression Department is Xie Xuan, an editor of the Hanlin Academy, and the deputy envoy is Yanzhi Yukou, who is a saint. This department has also recruited a large number of strange people and strange things. Song Yuhua's strange life experience is indeed qualified to enter the Demon Suppression Department. But Song Shoubai may not be willing to take risks. Even the Empress Dowager asked her to be a female history, but Lord Song was pushed by him.

"My grandfather said that the capital is more dangerous now, and it is safer to join the Demon-Shenzhen Department."

Liu Zhiyi thought something.

He looked at Song Yuhua deeply, said nothing, but was worried about the girl in his heart. How could the capital be dangerous? There are so many masters and hidden formations, and no force dared to blatantly make trouble in the capital. But at this time, Song Shoubai, who had been in the officialdom for decades, would rather let his granddaughter join the Demon Sect and go to various places to kill the demons. This is very abnormal. Unless he encountered the risk of destruction of the country, the capital is the safest place in the world, but for ordinary people, the capital will always be the center of the storm.

Liu Zhiyi suddenly realized that there were going to be a big storm in the capital. The empress dowager issued an edict to punish herself and set off in seclusion. The undercurrent gathering under the calm surface was finally about to erupt. In this big storm, Song Shoubai, who had been in the officialdom for 30 years, could not be safe and was forced to arrange a way out for his granddaughter!
