Moreover, she wasn't someone who was good at dealing with money.

It was not easy to be on good terms with others. She did not know what to do with Mother Jia's obvious difference in treatment.

At this time, Lady Wang's sister, Aunt Xue,

Brought her son and daughter to Rongguo Province.

On the other side, He Shen was sitting in front of Qianlong.

He told him about the establishment of the bank in detail.

Qianlong was very satisfied with his performance when he was the Minister of Cloth Treasury.

When he heard He Shen mention the "bank," Qianlong did not feel that he was full of nonsense.

Instead, he started to understand it seriously.

By the time Heshen finished speaking in front of him, Qianlong had already slapped the table in amazement.

"My dear minister, your mind is really flexible. You can actually come up with such an idea!

Good, good, good … Why don't you go back and write a detailed booklet and hand it over.

I'll take a look again! "

He Shen bowed and agreed.

In the future, the bank account rose in Shanxi and collapsed at the end of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing government built an official bank account.

Due to the economic crisis, the bank account's credibility was not as good as before.

It closed down one after another.

What He Shen wanted to do was to establish an official bank account in advance.

At the same time, he wanted to form a more stable relationship.

So that the bank account would not only flourish for a while like in history.

It would quickly disappear.

And from a more macroscopic national level, it was

There was a stable national bank.

It could also better develop the national economy.

Improve the national strength.

Therefore, whether it was out of selfish desire or a slightly greater sentiment.

He Shen was determined to establish a national bank and support the bank account.

This was a process that history had to go through. What he wanted to do was to advance this stage as much as possible in a reasonable way.

"Go ahead," Qianlong said in a low voice. There was still a lingering excitement on his face.

Qianlong hoped that he could make more and better achievements than his father, but achievements were not so easy to achieve.

Now, He Shen gave him a way out. How could Qianlong refuse?

He wanted nothing more than to chase He Shen back so that he could write a report in one night.

However, Qianlong also knew that such a booklet could not be written easily. Therefore, he did not urge He Shen. He even said, "I'll allow you to take a few days off."

He Shen's heart moved, but he was not thinking about the booklet... Instead, he was thinking about Daiyu.

He didn't show it on his face at all. He bowed and thanked Qianlong before leaving.

After he left, the more Qianlong thought about it, the more excited he became, so much so that he could not even sleep. He ordered the little eunuch by his side to grind an ink stick. That very night he called a scholar from the Hanlin Academy to write an imperial edict, and then handed it over to the Grand Secretary of the Imperial Cabinet for approval.

Qianlong was decisive and normal people couldn't stop him.

The next day, although the Grand Secretary of the Imperial Cabinet had many doubts and even felt that it was not in accordance with the rules, he still issued the imperial edict in the end.

He Shen was sitting at home when he received such good news.

He was promoted again.

This time, it was even more amazing. Qianlong gave him the position of assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

How high was this position?

In the Ming Dynasty, it was a third-rank official. In the Qing Dynasty, it was a second-rank official.

He Shen spent only a few years to sit in the second-rank official position.

What was the most obvious difference?

It was his mansion. In the future, he would dare to call it a mansion.

Heshen respectfully received the imperial edict and thanked the emperor for his kindness.

He could not help but sigh in his heart.

He Shen's promotion in history was also very fast.

After almost a month or two, Qianlong felt uncomfortable if he was not promoted. In the end, he was appointed as the Minister of Internal Affairs, a second-rank official.

At this time, how young was He Shen?

He was only twenty-six.

In history, Qianlong was indeed an absurd emperor. However, for He Shen at this time, it was exactly what he wanted.

If everything was done according to etiquette, He Shen would definitely not be able to reach this step.

Just the age alone was enough to suppress him.

When the imperial edict was issued that day, it naturally caused a huge uproar. However, this uproar was just raised in an arc, and then it sank again.

The most talked about in the capital was how powerful He Shen was, how he was appreciated by the emperor, and how he could be used as a role model for all scholars in the world.

Even Lin Ruhai, Jia Yucun, and the others received the letter and wrote to congratulate him.

Of course, that was all in the future.

At this time, He Shen was in his mansion, peacefully writing his memorials.

Halfway through, he pretended to be irritated and uneasy. He threw down his brush and ink and stepped out of the door.

Qianlong had been paying attention to the movements on the other side, so naturally, he was also watched. Although there was no evil intention, He Shen still discovered it early on because he was overly anxious.

Therefore, He Shen's pretended to be irritated and uneasy was reported to Qianlong.

"He's a bit hot-tempered. He fell and went out. After all, he's still a young man. He can't do great things." That person said to Qianlong.

Qianlong laughed and looked at that person with a reproachful gaze. "You can't say that. It's already not easy for him to reach this stage at such a young age.

What he said, has anyone ever said before?

Just based on this point, no matter how hot-tempered he is, he's worthy of it.

How can there be a perfect person in this world?

If he's young, has the ability to be astute, and has a calm and steady attitude … "

Qianlong shook his head. "I'm afraid he's transformed from a demon."

That person restrained his emotions and nodded. "Your Majesty is wise. I didn't think of this at all."

Qianlong heard this and laughed. Then he waved his hand and sent that person away.

"You don't have to care about what he does. If he holds it in too much, he might do something that young people like to do …"

Qianlong wouldn't take such a small matter to make things difficult for an official he admired.

Even if He Shen went out and went straight to the brothel or gambling house, no matter how unhappy he was, he would still fight with someone ….

But He Shen went straight to the outskirts of the city.

Today, the person who accompanied He Shen was Steward Liu's son, Liu Quan.

This person was older than He Shen. He wasn't tall, but his limbs were strong and he was very capable. He was more talkative than Steward Liu, but he never made any mistakes.

In history, this person was indeed He Shen's loyal servant.

The carriage swayed all the way up the mountain and finally stopped in front of a Taoist temple.

The two words "Quiet" were written on the plaque of the Taoist temple. Just like these two words, the inside and outside of the Taoist temple were quiet and there was no noise to disturb them.

He Shen got out of the carriage and stepped into the temple.

Liu Quan followed closely behind.

At this time, a Taoist child and a manservant stopped He Shen. "The Taoist priest won't be seeing any guests today."

Liu Quan's face darkened. Just as he was about to speak, He Shen raised his hand and gestured. Liu Quan lowered his head and closed his mouth.

"Then let's wait for a while," He Shen said.

But the manservant looked at He Shen and suddenly his face changed. It was unknown what he thought of.

After about half an hour, the manservant looked at He Shen over and over again, as if he was trying to determine He Shen's identity.

Finally, the manservant bent down and asked timidly, "Are you Assistant Minister He?"

He was young, had an imposing aura, and was extraordinarily handsome. The manservant felt that he had seen him before.

After all, he used to accompany Second Master and sent him to the imperial court. He had seen Second Master's colleagues a few times.

His identity seemed to be on the verge of being revealed …

He Shen obviously knew which family the manservant belonged to. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here.

But he still pretended to be puzzled. He looked at the manservant from head to toe and nodded. "Which family do you belong to?"

The manservant hurriedly said, "I serve Second Master of Rongguo Province. I had the honor of meeting Assistant Minister He once …"

After saying this, the manservant smiled fawningly.

Most of the servants in Rongguo Province ran amok. But in front of nobles, they all behaved the same. No one dared to act rashly.

The manservant pushed the Daoist child. "Go and report to the Daoist priest!"

The manservant was always by Jia Zheng's side because he knew how to read people's faces. At this moment, he had an idea. Second Master liked to interact with scholars the most.

This Assistant Minister He was the top scorer in the imperial examination. He was very impressive.

He had just received favor and was in the limelight right now.

Second Master should be happy to interact with him.

The Little Taoist staggered a little from the push. But he didn't dare to complain. He quickly turned around and obediently went to report the news.

Not long after, the Little Taoist came out.

Jia Zheng and the thin Xuan Tong Daozhang, who was wearing a loose Daoist robe, came out together with him.

The Xuan Tong Daozhang wanted to smile at He Shen, but He Shen immediately avoided him.

The Xuan Tong Daozhang was stunned. Then, he understood something. He quickly adjusted his posture and looked straight ahead.

Jia Zheng walked in front and didn't notice this detail.

Although Jia Zheng was an official in the same imperial court as He Shen, he rarely paid attention to He Shen.

It was all because He Shen's arrogance was too strong. Jia Zheng tried his best to be a good official, but he couldn't do it well. He had interacted with many poor scholars, and had seen many talented people who couldn't get a good scholarly reputation.

He Shen was an exception from the moment he appeared in the imperial court.

He became the top scorer without any effort.

He didn't see how to serve the people and the country, so he was promoted all the way.

In the past, Jia Zheng didn't want to look him in the eye. But now, he had no choice but to look him in the eye.

With this look, Jia Zheng was stunned.

It turned out that this young top scorer wasn't as cunning as he thought.

On the contrary, he was born with a handsome face.

He was indeed worthy of the praise of having a handsome face.

"Minister Counsellor." He Shen smiled and called out.

Jia Zheng looked at him and unconsciously bowed. "Assistant Minister." This person's etiquette was appropriate. When he opened his mouth, it was as if he was bathing in the spring breeze.

He had misjudged him in the past and mistook pearls for fish eyes.

Regret welled up in his heart. This made Jia Zheng look at He Shen more warmly.

Baoyu wasn't young anymore. They were only a few years apart, but why couldn't he compare to him?

Jia Zheng thought about it and felt his chest tighten. He hated that Lady Wang didn't give birth to a good son!

"Why don't we sit inside and talk?" Xuan Tong Daozhang opened his mouth and said.

"Okay, Assistant Minister, please."

"Minister Counsellor, please." He Shen smiled again and walked in side by side with Jia Zheng.

At first, Jia Zheng felt a little awkward. After all, the other party was much younger.

But when he thought of the other party's talent, he felt that it was right. It should be measured by talent.

It was a great ability to be able to achieve such results in his studies!

The three of them sat down in the room.

Jia Zheng's mind was full of Xuan Tong Daozhang's title as the top scholar. He didn't taste the tea, nor did he talk about Confucianism.

He started to chat with He Shen and talked about the Four Books and Five Classics.

He Shen wasn't afraid.

He Jin was not only a man of practical ability, he was also able to understand the depth of the books.

And he had inherited all of these perfectly.

When Jia Zheng said one sentence, he could reply with two sentences.

He Shen's ability to brainwash people was really amazing. In his previous life, he relied on this ability to make his employees very dependable.

Therefore, in just a few minutes, Jia Zheng couldn't help but want to treat He Shen as a confidant.

He Shen secretly sighed that Jia Zheng was really easy to coax.

He really lived up to his name. Jia Zheng, pretending to be upright.

After they finished talking, Jia Zheng looked at the sky and asked the servant what time it was before he reluctantly left.

Before he left, he invited He Shen to Rongguo Province to drink tea and chat happily. It should be a happy thing!

He Shen didn't know whether this was a happy thing or not.

But he should be happy to go to Rongguo Province and see how Daiyu was doing.

As soon as Jia Yucun left, Xuan Tong Daozhang's butt seemed to be on fire. He stood up with a "whoosh" and said, "Why didn't you send a message if you were coming?

I feel so bad for neglecting you. "

Ever since he entered this Taoist temple, He Shen had never set foot here. The two of them only maintained contact through letters.

Xuan Tong Daozhang didn't expect He Shen to suddenly come today and was caught off guard. At this moment, he was anxious as he recalled his actions today and wondered if he had offended He Shen.

"It's fine. I didn't come today because of you."

Xuan Tong Daozhang smiled embarrassedly.

He Shen said, "It's good to be like this in the future. You don't have to deliberately cater to me.

Be careful not to expose your identity. "

Xuan Tong Daozhang quivered, "Yes, yes, yes. You're right."

"I came today to ask Xuan Tong Daozhang for a prescription."

Xuan Tong Daozhang was stunned. He thought, "Didn't you give me all the prescriptions?

Why are you asking me for a prescription? "

However, seeing He Shen's indifferent expression and that he didn't intend to change his mind, Xuan Tong Daozhang boldly guessed that the young master's actions were to deceive others.

Xuan Tong Daozhang showed his usual style and nodded, "Then please wait for a day. I'll have a Taoist servant send it to your residence tomorrow."

He Shen was satisfied. He stood up and walked out.

Xuan Tong Daozhang tried hard to restrain his impulse to personally send He Shen off. He stood at the door and watched him leave.

It wasn't until He Shen got into the carriage that Xuan Tong Daozhang breathed a sigh of relief.

He hoped that he didn't misunderstand the young master's intentions today …

Jia Zheng returned to his residence. His heart was still full of excitement and he found it difficult to calm down.

It was because of this that he couldn't restrain his emotions. In a moment of passion, he wanted to teach Baoyu well.

He lifted his leg and walked towards Baoyu's courtyard.

Before he entered the door, he heard Baoyu's playful laughter with the servant girls.

The sound of books being read.

The sound of books being flipped.

These were all things that only existed in dreams.

Jia Zheng raised his eyebrows when his dream was shattered so quickly. He looked angry and said to the manservant beside him, "Bring me my stick!"

The manservant was stunned and stammered, "Second, Second Master …"

"Go!"

The manservant hurriedly went to fetch the stick, but he also quietly told the servant girl.

The servant girl hurriedly went to find Lady Wang and reported it to Mother Jia.

Baoyu was the Matriarch's favorite. If the Second Master beat her, at most, he would be reprimanded. But if he took the rod and did not spread the word, in the end, he would be beaten half to death and chased out of the residence. He would also be branded as an 'evil servant'.

In less than an hour, Baoyu's painful cries could be heard in the courtyard. A group of servant girls were crying beside him, but no one dared to step forward.

Jia Zheng was now the head of the household in Rongguo Province. Other than Mother Jia who could restrain him, even Lady Wang could only be reprimanded in front of him.

Who would dare to hit him?

After a while, Mother Jia finally arrived.

When she looked again, Baoyu's buttocks were already swollen. He was hugging the bench and gasping for breath.

Mother Jia was so angry that tears fell from her eyes. She pointed at Jia Zheng and scolded him several times.

However, in the end, she didn't do anything. She just hugged Baoyu and called him "sweetheart" and "darling". She took him away to get a doctor.

Lady Wang also couldn't help crying, but she didn't dare to refute Jia Zheng. She just secretly wiped her tears and whispered, "Baoyu is still young. Master, when you teach him in the future, please be gentle …"

"Young?

How is he young? "

Jia Zheng threw down the stick in his hand. His mind was replaying the conversation he had with the young zhuangyuan that day. He was unable to restrain his anger. "Although you're in the rear residence, you should be well-informed!

You should have heard that when the top scorer passed the exam, he was only sixteen!

He's still young! "

"And look at how you're protecting that son of yours!"

Lady Wang was slightly dumbfounded. She could only bury her head and cry silently.

However, she couldn't help but have other plans in her mind.

That Xue Pan was her nephew. After all, he was closer to her. If he was a good person and could guide Baoyu to study well, that would be good …

What sixteen-year-old top scorer.

Her son might have even greater achievements in the future.

Seeing that Lady Wang didn't say anything, Jia Zheng became even angrier. He looked at Lady Wang left and right and didn't find her pleasing to the eye.

Therefore, the courtyard was noisy that day. It took a long time for them to rest.

In the end, Jia Zheng even went to Concubine Zhao's room. Lady Wang was so angry that she threw a tantrum in her room.

Daiyu also heard about this matter.

It was Ying Ge who told her about it.

After all, Baoyu being beaten had always been a big matter in the residence. It alarmed every master and servant from the matriarch down.

"Miss, do you want to go and visit him?" Ying Ge asked.

Daiyu pursed her lips and fell asleep. "My body isn't feeling well. It's not convenient for me to go today. It just so happens that there are many people around my cousin today.

I'll go tomorrow. "

Ying Ge opened her mouth. She wanted to say something to persuade her, but in the end, she closed her mouth.

Everyone in the residence knew that Miss Lin wasn't someone who was easy to get close to. If she said too much, it would be difficult for her to gain Miss Lin's favor in the future.

Daiyu tucked in the quilt. However, she was thinking about how to refuse tomorrow.

… …

The next day.

A manservant really came from Rongguo Province to invite He Shen. He Shen naturally wouldn't refuse. He immediately got into the sedan and let the manservant lead the way to Rongguo Province.

To show his appreciation, Jia Zheng specially instructed everyone in the residence.

When Madame Jia heard this, she didn't think it was right. He Shen held a grudge and praised Jia Zheng for doing a good job.

He was so talented and was already Jia Zheng's colleague at such a young age. They should make good friends with him and couldn't neglect him.

Therefore, everyone in the residence was curious about this person who caused Baoyu to be beaten.

"I'm here to see my younger brother, He Lin. He's also in your residence." He Shen spoke first.

Daiyu's head was tilted up as she obediently listened to him speak.

He Shen met Daiyu's gaze and unconsciously said in a low voice, "I'm also here to see you …"

"See me?" Daiyu looked back at Lin Ruhai in confusion.

Lin Ruhai immediately became nervous.

His daughter's body was weak. He had consulted countless doctors, but none of them could cure her.

Now that He Shen mentioned it, he couldn't help but worry. Could it be an incurable disease?

He Shen looked her up and down. Because of his gentle gaze, Daiyu didn't feel uncomfortable. Therefore, she didn't try to hide and just let He Shen stare at her.

Daiyu was young, and He Shen wasn't old either. It wasn't inappropriate for him to look at her like this.

However, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but feel nervous. Even his facial features were slightly distorted. He didn't look as serious as he usually did.

"You've grown taller and your hair is longer …"

As Daiyu listened, she couldn't help but raise her small hand to touch her head. Then, she touched her hair bun. The corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.

As He Shen spoke, he held Daiyu's wrist and looked at Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai suddenly realized that he had something to say in private.

Lin Ruhai asked, "Did Yu 'er go to see Mother today?"

Daiyu replied, "Not yet."

Lin Ruhai said, "Then go now."

Daiyu nodded and walked out.

When she reached the entrance of the courtyard, she suddenly turned back to look at He Shen before walking away.

He Shen's heart was about to melt from that look.

He really didn't know that Sister Lin was so adorable when she was young.

He didn't know how awe-inspiring she would be when she grew up.

"This way, please." Lin Ruhai raised his hand and invited He Shen to another courtyard.

Jia Yucun followed behind.

The three of them quickly sat down in the room. The servant girl served tea and couldn't help but look at He Shen curiously.

However, He Shen's gaze was slightly lowered, as if he was deep in thought.

Lin Ruhai's heart sank when he saw his expression.

"Young Master, my daughter's health …"

He Shen raised his head and said in a low voice, "I'll write a prescription for you.

In the future, I'll change the prescription every three months. "

Actually, if conditions permitted, she should take the medicine for seven days before taking her pulse and giving her new medicine.

Lin Ruhai trusted He Shen's words and immediately nodded, "I'll have to trouble you, Young Master. How about you rest in the Lin residence today?"

He Shen nodded and said, "Change Ling Zheng's medicine too."

Lin Ruhai's eyes lit up. He finally had to admit that the prescription he obtained from the Taoist temple was most likely made by the Young Master in front of him.

The Young Master was young, but when he thought about it, there were so many extraordinary people in the world, so he wasn't shocked.

He Shen stayed in the Lin residence that day.

Lin Ruhai led He Shen around the residence and accompanied him for a meal before settling him in a courtyard.

Only He Shen, He Lin, and Jia Yucun lived in the courtyard.

When He Lin heard He Shen's footsteps, he turned into a ball and ran straight into He Shen's arms.

"Elder Brother!" He Lin raised his head and grabbed He Shen's sleeve. His eyes were shining brightly.

His skin was darker, but the flesh on his face was firmer.

He didn't cry.

After following Jia Yucun around, He Lin completely broke away from his previous clingy image.

He Shen hugged him and then led He Lin inside.

He Lin chattered endlessly about how good Yangzhou was …

He Shen said, "How about staying in Yangzhou?"

He Lin was frightened and shook his head repeatedly, "No, no."

He Shen rubbed his head and chuckled, asking, "How's your learning?"

He Lin straightened his neck and his face became serious. He said with a straight face, "Very good." But there was a hint of praise in his eyes.

He Shen looked at him suspiciously.

"Teacher said so too."

He Shen nodded, "Then let's go back to the capital."

He Lin was a little reluctant, "But, but teacher still has to stay in Yangzhou …"

"He Lin, do you want to enter an official school?"

"Yes!" He Lin nodded vigorously.

"Then let's go back to the capital."

This year of traveling was enough for He Lin to learn some things.

At least, He Shen was very satisfied with He Lin now.

He Shen knew that Jia Yucun wouldn't be here for long. With Lin Ruhai as his guarantor, he would step into the officialdom again.

And Daiyu would be escorted by Jia Yucun to Rongguo Province.

He Lin naturally didn't need to be his student anymore.

Jia Yucun was just for He Lin's enlightenment. When he entered an official school in the future, he would be the most important.

He Lin couldn't stay in Yangzhou any longer after telling them about returning to the capital. He kept urging them to leave.

After all, no matter how good Yangzhou was, it wasn't his home.

Lin Ruhai and the others didn't know anything about this.

Lin Ruhai invited a few doctors to the house and let them secretly look at the prescription. After confirming that there was no harm, he ordered people to follow the prescription to fill the medicine, decoct it, and make it into pills.

Strangely, after the pills were made, they were slightly sweet. Daiyu didn't know that it was medicine. He smiled and swallowed it as if he was swallowing a candy ball.

Lin Ruhai didn't know if it was because he was biased, but after a few days, he felt that his daughter's pale face was a little red. Her complexion was actually much better.

The atmosphere in the Lin residence finally became a little more relaxed.

At this time, because of Daiyu, Lin Ruhai addressed He Shen as an equal.

August.

He Shen took He Lin with him and prepared to return to the capital.

Before leaving, he went to see Sister Lin one last time.

Daiyu just came out from Jia Min's place. Behind her were two little maids. They were short and their faces were round and full of childishness.

He Shen glanced at them and thought that one of them should be Xue Yan.

"Brother, are you leaving?"

Daiyu vaguely heard the servants mention this matter. When she tilted her head to look at He Shen, her eyes revealed some reluctance.

Daiyu didn't have many playmates by her side. Since He Shen and He Lin entered the Lin residence, she felt that her days were much more interesting.

Seeing that they were about to leave, she felt a little sad.

"Yes." He Shen looked around.

Lin Ruhai wasn't there. There were only two or three manservants standing outside the courtyard. The older maidservants were still doing what they were doing, but the two younger maidservants were raising their heads and looking at him with admiration.

He Shen couldn't help but touch Daiyu's head. His fingers even rubbed the bun on her head.

It was soft.

"Where are you going?" Daiyu asked again.

"Back to the capital."

"When I'm older, can I go there to visit you?"

"Of course." He Shen couldn't help but laugh.

After such a period of recuperation, Daiyu's egg-shaped face was pink. He Shen looked at her appearance and really wanted to raise such a delicate girl by himself.

No wonder he liked Sister Lin when he watched "Dream of the Red Chamber".

He probably had a feeling that Sister Lin would be very likable when she was young.

"Then, then wait for me to grow up." Daiyu lowered her eyes slightly to hide the reluctance and sadness in her eyes.

He Shen couldn't bear to see her like this.

The scabby-headed monk in the book said: "If you want to be healthy, you must never hear the sound of crying again."

It could be seen that letting her live happily without sadness was the only way to make her healthy.

He Shen asked, "Do you want to grow up faster?"

Daiyu raised her head to look at him. She was slightly puzzled and her eyes were a little red.

It was obvious that she couldn't suppress her emotions just now.

"I left some meatballs for your father. Be good and eat them every day.

Don't be greedy and don't be like this … Look, it's like this. The corners of your eyes and the ends of your eyebrows are drooping. This won't do. "

Daiyu was still young, so she was stunned by He Shen's words.

She stared at He Shen's face and even forgot about her sadness. She only asked blankly, "Then what should I do?"

He Shen pointed at the corner of her mouth with his slender finger. "This part should be curved up. Smile more every day."

Daiyu was still deceived and didn't believe all the nonsense. She pursed her lips and said, "Can I grow up faster like this?

You're bluffing. "

"I'm not lying to you. Why don't you give it a try?

Very soon, you can come to the capital to see me. "

The two young maidservants beside her believed him without a doubt and chirped, "Young Master is right."

"Young Master isn't lying, right?"

"Young Miss should smile more every day."

"Young Miss is the prettiest when she smiles …"

Daiyu widened her eyes and was slightly embarrassed. She pursed her lips and didn't say anything else.

He Shen raised his head to look at the sun.

It was getting late.

"I'm leaving now. If you have any problems in the future, you can ask your father to write a letter to the capital. I'll receive it."

Daiyu's eyes brightened and she nodded. "Yes!"

At this moment, footsteps could be heard from outside the courtyard. Lin Ruhai and Jia Yucun had arrived.

Lin Ruhai was also quite reluctant to see He Shen leave. After all, the atmosphere in the Lin residence had become more peaceful after his arrival. Once he left, who knew how gloomy the residence would become …

"If Zhi Zhai has time, come to Yangzhou to play." Lin Ruhai said in a low voice.

He Shen nodded.

Jia Yucun also had a bitter expression on his face. "Brother Zhizhai is really going to take He Lin away?" He thought that He Shen was angry that he was being treated as a guest by someone else.

When Jia Yucun was an official, he didn't know how to read the mood of his superiors. That was why he was mercilessly removed from his position.

After that, he became much more sensitive to the emotions and attitudes of others.

"Yes, He Lin should enter an official school."

Jia Yucun suddenly understood that the young man in front of him was a descendant of an official of the Manchurian Qing Dynasty.

His father was once a Vice Domain Chief of a region and had a high status.

It was time for him to enter an official school.

Jia Yucun's eyes flashed, and he felt a little envious in his heart.

He was afraid that in the future, these two brothers would go straight to the top.

Even though he was reluctant, after a few words, Lin Ruhai still sent He Shen and Jia Yucun to the door.

Daiyu couldn't follow them to the door. He could only stand at the door of the small courtyard and look at their backs reluctantly as they walked further and further away.

After about half an hour, Lin Ruhai returned.

Daiyu looked up at his father and couldn't help but ask softly, "Father, can I go to the capital too?"

"What for?"

"To see that older brother."

Lin Ruhai smiled. "What older brother?

Although he's only a few years older than you, he's the benefactor who saved you and your mother.

You should call him uncle … "

After saying that, Lin Ruhai felt a little strange. He pursed his lips and didn't mention it again.

But in the future, Daiyu would still call him "older brother" in his heart.

He was so young. If he wasn't an older brother, then what was he?

After returning to the capital.

He Shen coincidentally received a letter from Xuan Tong Daozhang, saying that he was also coming to the capital.

He Shen thought it was funny. Could it be that the Taoist temple couldn't accommodate him?

But then, He Shen felt that an opportunity had come.

There were more nobles in the capital. Although it wasn't as easy to manage as in Fujian, if he put in a few years of effort, the results would be great.

Earning money from the nobles in Fujian was nothing. If he could earn money from the nobles in the capital, then that would be considered a skill.

When He Shen was about to reply to the letter, Xuan Tong Daozhang had already arrived in the capital.

It turned out that the letter had arrived in He Shen's hands more than a month later.

Xuan Tong Daozhang entered He Shen's residence. The first thing he did was to put a chest full of money in front of He Shen.

Xuan Tong Daozhang exhaled and said, "Along the way, I was most afraid of meeting robbers … It's really not easy to bring them here."

He Shen's mind flashed, but he thought of another thing.

How about building a bank in the Qing Dynasty?

A childish shout came from afar.

After a while, a small man wearing a rose-purple mandarin jacket walked over the threshold and stopped in front of He Shen.

He Lin was born due to dystocia. His body was weak since he was young. Even after several years of recuperation, he still didn't get better. His small face was pale all day long, looking very pitiful.

"Go up the mountain, go up the mountain." He Lin shook He Shen's sleeve.

Today was He Lin's birthday, and also their mother's death anniversary. According to tradition, they had to go up the mountain to pay respects to their mother.

Their mother died due to dystocia, so she couldn't be buried in the ancestral grave. Thus, she was placed in the back mountain of a Taoist temple.

He Shen lamented the various strict etiquette systems in ancient times, but he also rejoiced that because of this, it was more convenient for them to pay respects to their mother.

He Shen and his brother were like invisible people in the mansion. No one paid attention to them when they went in and out of the mansion.

The gatekeeper watched the two brothers go out hand in hand and even yawned. He thought to himself that it would be a good thing if they got lost outside.

The cold in the mountain was bone-piercing.

However, He Shen and He Lin both had a warm body. Moreover, they were dressed roundly, so they didn't feel cold at all.

But other people were not like this.

Following He Shen and his brother was a soft sedan carried by a few strong men. The strong men wore thin clothes, and the people in the sedan didn't seem to be any better. He Shen could hear them gasping because of the cold.

Faintly, he could also hear a childish voice saying something.

There was a child in the sedan.

He Shen looked at He Lin, who was climbing up the sedan, and his heart suddenly softened.

"He Lin, where's the hand warmer hidden in your sleeve?"

"It's here, it's here."

He Lin struggled to take it out. He raised his hand and was about to put it into He Shen's arms, "Brother, brother, are you cold?"

"Do you see the sedan behind us?"

"Oh."

"Give this to them. There may be a child younger than you in the sedan."

He Lin never doubted He Shen's words. He held the hand warmer and ran to the sedan in a flash.

He Lin was born with red lips and white teeth. He was dressed very well. The men carrying the sedan didn't stop him. They all stopped.

The curtain of the sedan was lifted quickly.

He Lin pushed the hand warmer forward without saying anything.

The man who lifted the curtain of the sedan was a man with regular facial features and a dignified expression. He lowered his head and saw the dense steam rising from the hand warmer.

"What are you doing?" The man was shocked.

He Lin could only turn his head to look at He Shen, "My brother asked me to send this to you. He said that you have a child younger than me." After that, He Lin muttered, "My brother was afraid that you would be cold …"
