No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 551
Lin Chengyu is only 28 years old this year, and it is when a man is at his most energetic.But the young Lin Chengyu has been the head of the Lin family for nearly ten years.

The Lin family's descendants in Lin Chengyu's generation were originally quite small, but two older brothers and one older sister passed away early, and now only Lin Chengyu, a young man, is left in the direct line of the Lin family to support the huge Lin family.

Although Lin Chengyu is young, he is quite capable of doing business.

After ten years, the Lin family has become more prosperous than when Mr. Lin was here.

"Uncle!" Luo Junyao and Xie Yan walked into the Cai Teahouse and walked up to Lin Chengyu.

Lin Chengyu looked at his niece with a smile, his eyes were gentle and kind, "Yao Yao is here, even more beautiful than last year."

Luo Jun smiled and said: "Uncle is also more handsome than last year, Uncle, do I have a little aunt?"

Lin Chengyu tapped her forehead helplessly, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Luo Junyao made a face at him, "I'm not talking nonsense."

Lin Chengyu sighed, glanced at Xie Yan who was following Luo Junyao, and felt that he had nothing to say.

How could he expect a man who spoiled his wife to control his wife's words and deeds?

Although as an uncle, Lin Chengyu is very satisfied with Xie Yan's doting on his niece, but occasionally he feels a little helpless.

Long before he went to Shangyong, he had heard about the Prince Regent's love for the Princess.But when he actually arrived in Shangyong, he realized after he got to know her carefully that what he had heard before were all trivial matters, and he had never seen a man who pampered his wife so much.

Of course, his little niece also deserves this pampering and pampering.

Luo Junyao stopped teasing his uncle, pulled Xie Yan to sit down beside him, and said with a smile, "Has uncle been waiting for a long time?"

Lin Chengyu shook his head and said: "No, I got the news in advance, but I arrived half an hour earlier than you. What happened to you on the way?"

Luo Jun shook his head: "It's nothing, just a few little thieves."

Speaking of this, Luo Junyao couldn't help frowning: "Uncle, are there many thieves in the south who just block the road?"

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Lin Chengyu said: "There are many mountains and rivers in the south, and it is much more difficult for the government to govern. In some places, a mountain is a den of bandits. It is even more difficult to go into business without connections and strength. "

Lin Chengyu said with a bit of interest, "Is there anyone who doesn't have eyes and dares to stop you?"

Luo Junyao spread his hands helplessly and said, "Is it because you don't have eyes?"

"Then there's no need to waste two days?"

Xie Yan said with a faint smile: "In a rage, the princess wiped out several nearby hills."

Lin Chengyu raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard the words, then shook his head after a while and said, "It's useless."

Bandits, in some places, will gradually disappear as long as the government suppresses them enough.

But in some places, just like weeds, spring breeze blows and grows again.

And Ningzhou is such a place.

"Actually, it's pretty good now. Jinyan has wiped out all the powerful bandits in Ningzhou, and the rest are small characters. They can't do anything big, but they can't be wiped out. Jinyan said, I want Ning Huai The bandits and bandits in the two states are extinct, and it is useless to just suppress the bandits. The conditions here are too bad, the people are poor, and many people are forced to become bandits. Therefore, if you want to cut off the banditry, you have to manage the place well."

Xie Yan nodded and said: "Jinyan is right. The "Book on Bandit Disorders" he submitted to the court earlier was very comprehensive. He has done a good job in the past two years, but it still needs some time."

Luo Jun shook his hands and said, "I haven't seen my eldest brother for two or three years."

Lin Chengyu said: "Your elder brother is very good. This time when I go back, I can go to Huaizhou via Ningzhou, so I can go and see him."

Luo Jun shook his head and looked at Xie Yan with a smile, Xie Yan nodded and said, "That's what we planned too."

Lin Chengyu nodded, stood up and said, "Let's go, the boat on the pier is ready. Get off the boat this evening, and you can arrive in Zhangzhou tomorrow morning."

Luo Junyao cheered, "I haven't been out to sea for a long time."

Lin Chengyu chuckled, looked at her with a half-smile and said, "You made a lot of noise when you went out to sea last time. Please be merciful to the Princess Regent. The small place of Zhangzhou can't stand your trouble."

Zhangzhou is naturally not a small place, and its area is more than a hundred times larger than Yingzhou Island.

The Lin family's boat was parked on the seaside pier not far from the small town. From a distance, Luo Junyao saw a slim figure standing on the deck of a huge merchant ship. Luo Jun shook his foot and flew towards the boat.

Looking at this scene, Lin Chengyu couldn't help turning his head and smiling at Xie Yan who was beside him: "Yao Yao is 20 years old, right? Or are you still so out of touch?"

Xie Yan said seriously: "Yao Yao has always known the seriousness, and he is not a person who blindly makes trouble. In a place like Shangyong, it is good to have a cheerful and lively personality." At least he won't wrong himself.

Lin Chengyu naturally knew that Luo Junyao was not a troublemaker. This niece seemed a bit childish, but she was the one who could support the entire Regent's Palace at critical times.

The determination to kill in her bones is not even inferior to Xie Yan.

"The Empress Dowager's filial piety period has passed, and you still plan to have a child?" After careful calculation, it has been more than three and a half years since Yao Yao entered the door. These two people are so affectionate but have never had children. Those people in Shangyong really Won't you break your mouth?

Obviously, this is not the first time Xie Yan has been asked this question.

Xie Yan thought for a while and said, "Yaoyao said that it is better to have children after the age of 22."

Lin Chengyu raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise: "You just listen to what she says?"

Xie Yan said: "Why not? I also don't want her to have a baby at a young age. If she doesn't want to have a baby... that's fine too."

"..." Lin Chengyu felt that it was only at this moment that he really accepted this nephew and son-in-law who was a few years older than himself.

In this world, it is not only rare for a man to tell his wife not to have a child if she does not want to, it is simply a miracle.

Xie Yan didn't take it seriously, although he also hoped that he and Yaoyao could have a child, but if Yaoyao didn't like it, it's okay to have one, anyway, it doesn't make any difference if they raise Ah Cheng.

Men in the world are most concerned about inheriting the family, but Xie Yan doesn't think there is any need to pass on his bloodline from King Mu.

"Sister Tantai!" Luo Junyao lightly landed on the deck and smiled brightly at Tantaifeng.

Tantai Feng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Qinggong has improved a lot, long time no see."

"Long time no see!" Luo Jun shook his smile and said, "Why is Sister Tantai here?"

Tan Taifeng said: "Isn't this here to welcome the regent and princess?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Then I'm flattered."

Tan Taifeng smiled and said: "Okay, I can't surprise the princess. Besides coming to pick you up, I also want to go and see the new boat built by the Lin family. In the past two years, the Lin family has always kept it hidden, and now the boat is officially It’s going into the water, let me take a look first, what’s the big deal? How about it, is the princess right?”

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Uncle even asked Sister Tantai to come here, it can be seen that it has been approved, why does Sister Tantai ask me that I am a guest?"

Tan Taifeng smiled helplessly, and said: "Look at how clever you are."

Luo Jun shook Tantai Feng's arm, and asked in a low voice: "How is it? Have you made any progress with my uncle?"

Tan Taifeng said: "I can't afford to offend that uncle of yours, so forget it, making money is more important."

what?
Luo Jun was stunned for a moment, has sister Tantai changed her mind after only two or three years?

Looking at her uncle's appearance of not caring at all, I'm afraid his uncle's marriage has not yet been settled after the second brother gets married.

While the two were talking, Lin Chengyu and Xie Yan also walked onto the boat.

"Yao Yao, what are you talking about?" Lin Chengyu asked, he felt that the niece didn't say anything good.

Luo Junyao immediately let go of Tantai Feng, and smiled obediently: "No, I just catch up with sister Tantai."

Xie Yan and Luo Junyao will come to Ningzhou this time and even follow Lin Chengyu to Zhangzhou, so naturally they will not come to play.

The blueprint of the warship provided by Luo Junyao to Xie Yan before was completed by the imperial court.

And news came from the Lin family that the merchant ship that the Lin family helped build had also been completed.

Xie Yan and Luo Junyao came out this time to inspect various places. They first went to the Dongzhou Navy to see the warships, and then went all the way south. Now they are going to the Lin family's shipyard in Zhangzhou to see the merchant ships built by the Lin family.

In fact, the first boat of the Lin family had already been built more than a year ago, and it had been launched for sea trials.But Luo Junyao's generous request to build four ships at a time, even a big shipbuilder like the Lin family was a little worried.

After all, this is a newly designed ship. If there are any defects that are not easy to find, it will cost a lot of money at a time.

But after the first boat tested the water, Lin Chengyu was relieved.

Immediately ordered the shipyard to make all efforts to build a ship for the niece, and even went to Shangyong to discuss this matter with Luo Junyao.

Now that all four ships have been built, Xie Yan and Luo Junyao will naturally come to have a look.

The Lin family's boat went all the way south, and arrived at the port of Zhangzhou in the early morning of the next day.

Zhangzhou is an island surrounded by the sea. The sun rises from the sea level in the early morning, and the pier has gradually become lively.

There are workers who move goods, businessmen, and local people who do small businesses around the wharf.

Together, these people broke the tranquility of the morning, making the whole pier noisy and full of fireworks.

The Lin family's boat was obviously very eye-catching. When a group of people got off the boat, Luo Junyao felt countless eyes from all directions looking at them.

Some people took the initiative to greet Lin Chengyu, and at the same time looked curiously at Luo Junyao and others who were following Lin Chengyu.

Lin Chengyu is very popular here and quite prestigious.

He greeted the people who came to say hello one by one, and led them out of the pier.

"Sister Tantai, don't these people know you?" Luo Junyao asked curiously.

Tan Taifeng smiled lightly: "I'm a pirate, if they knew me, would they still be so safe?"

Right.

Outside the pier, Luo Junyao saw a familiar figure in the Lin family's pick-up team.

Shangyue.

Compared with three years ago, Shang Yue's complexion is much darker, but his complexion and spirit are very good.

He was originally standing on the side talking to a companion, he waited until they came out before he looked over, his eyes just fell on Luo Junsha's face.

Shang Yue was startled for a moment, and soon smiled calmly at Luo Junyao.

In the past three years, Shang Yue returned to Shangyong twice, but he didn't stay long.He stayed in Zhangzhou for half a year, and spent the rest of the year traveling around with the Lin family's fleet, living a fulfilling life.

"I've met the Patriarch." The manager of the Lin family who came to pick him up said respectfully, and then he looked at the people behind Lin Chengyu, hesitating for a moment and said, "This... is it, Miss?"

The Patriarch went to Ningzhou this time to pick up the little lady.Of these two female relatives, the younger ones are obviously more suitable for the identity of the young lady.

And the little lady's brows are somewhat similar to the late lady.

So... this is the current regent?
Lin Chengyu nodded and said, "We'll talk about it when we go back." There were people coming and going outside the pier, which was not suitable for those red tapes.

"Yes, yes." The steward immediately understood, restrained his excitement, and said, "The subordinates have already arranged the carriage. Miss, er... please, my lord."

Do you think that if you change your words halfway, we don't know that you want to call me little uncle?
Luo Junyao leaned on Xie Yan's shoulder and laughed, Xie Yan helplessly stretched out his arms to hold her, lest she laugh himself out.

Lin Chengyu twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Let's talk about it when we go back."

"Mr. Shang, long time no see."

Shang Yue walked aside, cupped his hands and said in a low voice, "I've seen the prince and concubine."

Xie Yan nodded and did not speak. Luo Junyao said as he walked, "The old lady knows that we are coming to Zhangzhou, so she specially prepared some things for me to bring to you."

Shang Yue was taken aback, a little sad and a little moved, "Thank you, Princess." The merchants are now trying to keep a low profile, how can they know the route and destination of the regent king and the regent princess going south?I'm afraid it was the princess who took the initiative to ask someone to ask the old lady.

Luo Jun waved his hands and said, "You're welcome, how has Mr. Shang been in Zhangzhou these past few years?"

Shang Yue smiled and said: "Very good. Although I used to boast that people in the world are free and unrestrained, but only when I really go out, do I know how big this world really is. Sometimes I stay at sea for a few months, and occasionally I will meet In the violent storm, I feel that many things that I couldn't figure out before can be figured out."

"I brought some disciples with average martial arts talents from Wenjiange to stay in Zhangzhou, and I also did some business, and went out to sea with the fleet from time to time." Shang Yue said: "There are not many ways out for people in the Jianghu, but most of them People don't have the talent and ability to explore the ultimate in martial arts, so it's pretty good now."

Just by watching how many times Xie Yan took the opportunity to punish the people in the Jianghu, it is clear that the imperial court's attitude towards the people in the Jianghu is not very good.

After all, the ancients said that chivalrous use of martial arts is forbidden.

Luo Jun said with a smile: "Young Master Shang, you are welcome, we are also mutually beneficial, and the female heroes you introduced to me are also very powerful. With them, the strength of the girls in Anlan Academy has increased a lot."

"To be honest, when I asked Mr. Shang to help deliver the letter, I didn't expect to really keep Mr. Shang."

Shang Yue raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?"

"Because... Mr. Shang looks like the kind of person who will become a master of the world."

Shang Yue said: "Then the promise made by the princess back then is still valid?"

"nature."

Shang Yue said: "Okay, the manpower of Wenjian Pavilion in Zhangzhou will be dispatched by Wangfei in the future, including me."

Luo Junyao was a little happy, as expected, he wanted to cast a wide net, maybe he could catch a big fish if he was lucky.

　It’s the first day of the Lunar New Year, I wish my dear ones a healthy and happy New Year (*^▽^*) happy every day~~
　　The Year of the Rabbit is auspicious and all the best! (*￣3)(ε￣*)
