Chapter 632 Ming Jian (2)
"Forget it, you've been tired for the past few days, I'm afraid it's because I'm going to stay here. It's my fault. It's just that my lord will quit drinking in the future. Your illness didn't accumulate in a day or two. In the future, not only should you quit drinking, but you should also have a lighter diet.”

Yao Yanyu said, and then ordered Xiangru: "Give Sir ten of the Qingxin Pills we brought."

The prefect of Jiangning hurriedly bowed to thank him again, and took a delicate glass bottle with a cork on the mouth that Xiangru handed over with both hands.

Yao Yanyu smiled lightly and said, "My lord, don't overwork yourself, please go back and rest."

"Your official is really rude! It's just a little thought from the official, please accept it, Madam."

Yao Yanyu nodded, indicating yes.The prefect of Jiangning glanced back at his subordinate officials.The official hurriedly ordered his servants to bring over the baskets of local specialties.Yelan frowned, and still led those people to put the things on the boat under Yao Yanyu's signal.

The prefect of Jiangning didn't talk so much nonsense anymore. Seeing that everything was put away, he thanked Yao Yanyu again, said some apologies, and left with all his subordinates. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Yao Yanen: "What If you need it, just call someone to pick it up from me.”

Yao Yanen was naturally respectful and polite to the officer, and Yao Yanyu didn't want to offend his elder brother, so he asked Yao Yanen to send the magistrate and all the adults out of the pier for him.

After some commotion, Yao Yanen took Yao Yanyu and Yunyao to a restaurant called 'Hongyanlou' on the pier.Of course, this restaurant was booked by Yao Yanen three days ago. From the owner to the cook to the guys who served tea and water, they all checked carefully, and there was no omission.

The largest private room on the upper floor is elegantly furnished. Yunyao, Yao Yanyu, Yao Yanen and his wife Jiang each have a few tables in front of each other. The dishes are not complicated, but the most famous dishes in Jiangning City are served. The four Cold appetizers, two meat and two vegetables, plus a sea bass soup with water shield.

If it is said that Yao Yanen is impeccable in his work, he knew that the master of Yunyao County was coming, so he asked Yao Yanyi to find out all the food preferences of the princess in his heart, and after repeated selection, he finalized today's dishes.

This quiet, homely meal made Yun Yao feel comfortable.Even the anger in his stomach when he saw the prefect of Jiangning just now dissipated.

After the meal, Xiang Ru and other maidservants served fragrant tea, and Yao Yanen found an excuse to go downstairs.Jiang Shi sat beside him and made tea.Not long after, another maid came in and said that the uncle had something to do with his grandmother, so Jiang stood up and apologized.

Only Yun Yao and Yao Yanyu were left in the room.Yao Yanyufang chuckled and said: "Why does the princess look down on old man Yu so much?" Old man Yu refers to Yu Honglie, the magistrate of Jiangning.

"Hmph, this kind of old man is nothing but the moth of the country. Apart from taking advantage of their own interests, they are extravagant and licentious. You care about face, but I don't bother to talk to him."

"Isn't it?" Yao Yanyu thought to himself, if that's the case, why didn't Yu Shi impeach him?
"No way?" Yun Yao sneered: "The meal he ate last night cost a total of 120 taels of silver, and when he went to bed at night, he had two young girls warming his bed, and two famous courtesans from the Qinhuai River accompanied him. You said he worked hard all day..." Yun Yao sneered, "He really worked hard!"

Yao Yanyu's face turned green immediately.While thinking that Yu Honglie was so desperate to bump into Jin Linwei's hands, he wondered if there was something wrong with Jin Linwei's people?Yunyao is still an unmarried girl, why do you report everything to her?

Seeing that Yao Yanyu was silent, Yun Yao sneered again: "The reason why those censors didn't impeach him was not because he was once your father's subordinate, and since your father was transferred to the capital and the governor of the south of the Yangtze River was vacant, those Beijing officials Every year, I get a very considerable amount of tribute from Yu Honglie, ranging from 5000 taels to 20 taels. Those people who take money from others will naturally turn a blind eye to it."

Yao Yanyu was stunned.After a while Fang asked: "Since you know so clearly, why didn't you tell the prince? Let the prince invite the imperial decree to copy these dog officials!"

"Who is copied? Ten officials and nine are corrupt. The remaining one is not not greedy, but has a rich family and does not need to be corrupt. Being an official is just to win a good name through the ages." Yun Yao said lightly, turning her head and looking out of the window.

There is another reason she didn't say, the court has been troubled in the past two years, first the eldest prince, then Princess Kangping and Pu Ji from Gaoli were entangled, then Empress Feng, Feng's family, and a big earthquake... one after another What happened almost crushed the emperor.How could Prince Cheng's Mansion bring these matters to the emperor to make things difficult for the emperor?

Outside the window, at the confluence of Yuntian River and Qingjiang River, you can see the green hills from a distance like a daisy, while the spring is warm and flowers are blooming nearby.

Rows of iron-blooded men guarded the two luxury ships parked on the pier, and the bright yellow embroidered unicorn flags dedicated to the Jinlin Guard fluttered in the wind, rustling, creating a magnificent scene.

Yao Yanyu looked at the beautiful mountains and rivers and didn't know what to say.She knew that Yun Yao would never tell a lie, a person like her would never bother to tell a lie.Thinking that she had repeatedly despised her for concealing her medical skills back then, in her view, honesty is the most basic sentiment of being a human being.

But it was also because of her frankness at this time that Yao Yanyu had to think about it.She alluded to her father in every word and every word. Apart from disdain and accusation, was there any reminder?No matter what, these people cannot be allowed to go on like this in the name of their father.Otherwise, my father's reputation will be ruined in the hands of these people.

At night, Yao Yanyu and Yunyao went back to the boat to sleep.Originally, Yao Yanyu wanted to invite Yunyao to go home with him, but Yunyao refused, so Yao Yanyu had no choice but to give up.On the other hand, Yao Yanen's wife, Mrs. Jiang, made a special trip to the boat and brought them an exquisite dinner, as well as some tea leaves, fruit snacks, and various fresh vegetables.

Yunyao didn't like socializing, so she just hid in her bedroom to read and sleep. Yao Yanyu knew that even her elder brother couldn't tell about Yu Honglie's affairs, let alone reveal it to Jiang Shi.After the meal, I only chatted with Jiang Shi about the family life for a while, and then persuaded Jiang Shi to go back on the pretext of going on the road tomorrow.

In the middle of the night, Yao Yanyu couldn't fall asleep anyway, so she called Xu Shiyang to him and whispered a few words to him.Xu Shiyang took the order and left, and when he came back an hour later, Yao Yanyu was still sitting under the window waiting for him.

"How?" Yao Yanyu frowned and asked.

"Everything is as Madam said, that Yu is really not a thing!" Xu Shiyang looked angry.

Yao Yanyu sighed for a long time, thinking that he really shouldn't take chances. The people from Jinlinwei came here to be responsible for the security of Yundu City, and secondly, they came to eat information. How could the news they got be false?
