The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

The eunuchs around lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. When they were depressed, silver bell-like laughter came from outside, and the big concubine Liu Guifei and the little concubine Liu Guifei came together.

Zhao Ji also showed a smile on his face, and sat up lazily.Looking outside the door, in an instant, the fragrant wind blows against the face in the elegant room, and two imperial concubines in palace costumes enter.

Concubine Liu Gui gave birth to two children in three years, and her body is slightly fatter, but she still can't hide her beauty.

Looking at Concubine Liu Gui again, she has beautiful facial features, she smiles lightly, and the corners of her lips are slightly curved. As long as she is a man, she seems to fall into the eyes of eyes and smiles.But she is so elegant, not even decorated with flowers.A radiant blue hair hangs down her back, swaying gently with every step she takes.The waist is slender and can be held in the palm.

Being worthy of the words "peerless beauty", it's no wonder that Yang Lin has a pair of guts, and he misses it like a bone every day.

Zhao Ji sighed slightly in his heart, Little Concubine Liu Gui was good in everything, but it was a pity that she came from a restaurant and could not read a single character.

Embracing one in one hand, Zhao Ji was just about to speak, but saw a hair comb inserted on the hair of Concubine Liu Gui, decorated with curly grass and phoenix patterns, the workmanship is extremely exquisite. Needless to say, this hair comb is a whole piece of emerald Carved out, this emerald is full of green, but it is naturally transparent under the light.Underneath the emerald is adorned with seven colored gemstones, all of which are high-quality gemstones. They are carved into seven small flowers, which is indeed exquisite to the extreme. This kind of craftsmanship, even if it is carved with a wooden hairpin, should be worth a lot.

Such a hairbrush, worth not more than a hundred thousand guan, has surpassed ordinary luxury goods, but is a rare treasure that can be passed on to future generations.Concubine Liu Gui is different from other imperial concubines, the family still has to rely on her to support her, so how can she have such financial resources to buy for her.

Zhao Ji asked in surprise, "Where did Aifei get this hairbrush?"

Before the little concubine Liu Gui could speak, the eldest concubine Liu Gui was rushing to talk: "This one, Yang Shaozai entrusted someone to send it to the palace, and said that we have made great achievements in serving the officials, so he sent a box of gifts to each of the ministers on behalf of the ministers. "

Little Concubine Liu's face turned red, and she said: "The concubine saw that this hair comb is more delicate, so she put it on."

"Although the concubines are expensive, each of them is as good as my younger sister." Concubine Liu Gui sighed.

Yang Aiqing is such a great writer, Zhao Ji did not doubt that he had him, but he thought it was Yang Lin who would do things, and said with a smile: "Yang Aiqing is indeed a loyal and patriotic one. It just so happens that I have some troubles here, so fortunately I leave it to him."

"Where are the two concubines planning to go?" Zhao Ji asked with a smile when he finally had a solution.

Concubine Liu said: "In front of the Longevity Palace, the empress summoned the sisters to go to Cuju. The concubine is inconvenient, so I will accompany my sister to have a look."

"There are other interesting things like this, let's go, I will go with you."

----

Yang Lin returned to Zhaodefang, took off the purple-gold official uniform, and put on casual clothes under the service of Li Yunniang.

Opening his arms, he allowed Yunniang to bend her waist and knees to fasten herself with a belt. Yang Lin looked at the fat tun falling in front of him, and was drawn into two chubby prototypes by its owner's movements, and couldn't help pinching it narrowly.

"Have you prepared all the presents?"

"I have prepared two sets of golden pots and jade cups, and a embroidered python robe; ten pieces of brocade from Suzhou, and ten altars of fine wine from Fengquan. Are these enough?"

Yang Lin nodded, and said, "That's what I mean, as long as I don't lose my courtesy. What kind of person is Cai Xiang, and in this situation, he should not be expected to get money from me."

Yun Niang was beaming, she was the housekeeper in charge of Yang Lin's money bag, and the most expensive thing every year was to give gifts to Cai Jing.

If it is true as what Da Lang said, I am afraid it will save hundreds of thousands of guns a year.

Even in Bianliang, where the cost is very high, hundreds of thousands of strings can support tens of thousands of families. To put it bluntly, with the money Yang Lin bribed Cai Jing last year, he could buy 1 cute and charming little ones on the market. It's a maid, the kind that can warm the bed.

The money was taken from Yunniang's hands every day, which made her terrified. If she hadn't been lucky enough to be with Dalang, she really didn't know that the exchanges between these big men were so bizarre.

Yang Lin looked outside, it was still early, so he figured that old bastard Cai Jing must be taking a nap, and now he went to wait.

Sitting on a chair, Yang Lin told Yun Niang to prepare some manpower and goods, and send them to Tong Guan's house in Bianliang.

Just as Yun Niang turned her waist and left, Xu Saiyue came in with a cup of tea and served it to Yang Lin.Miss Xu was wearing a green-patterned jacket, and her voice was like an oriole: "Da Lang, drink tea."

After several months of adaptation, the original Miss Xu has become accustomed to serving tea and pouring water.Fortunately, there are more maidservants in Yang's mansion than teacups, so she won't be able to take care of her when she is idle, and being Yang Shaozai's personal servant girl, the cost of food and clothing is even better than when she was with her father Xu Zhichang.

Yang Lin was originally out for revenge, and he couldn't swallow his breath, so he asked old Xu to offer his daughter, niece and granddaughter together.

Now that I think about it, it's a bit out of place, fingers hooked Xu Saiyue's little hand, feeling a little cold, and asked with a smile: "It's the first time to spend New Year's Day outside, are you still used to it?"

Yang Lin took a closer look at the girl's slender figure, the two slightly bulging hillocks in front of her chest, her skin was white and tender and round like jade, it must be a wealthy daughter who couldn't afford such charm.

"I'm used to it. Dalang treats us well, so I feel that this is my home. From now on, Yang's Mansion will be our home."

Yang Lin tugged her lightly, dragged her into his arms, and said with a smile, "Little mouth is so sweet, let me try to drink honey secretly."

Before the two started, Yang San's iconic voice sounded outside again: "Da Lang, someone is looking for you from outside."

Yang Lin couldn't bear it anymore, so he came out with a stick, and saw Yang San yelling outside the courtyard with his feet up, and shouted: "Yang San, who is here this time, if I don't have to welcome you, I'll beat you first!" A hundred strokes will relieve the hatred in my heart."

Yang San felt confident and rolled his eyes triumphantly: "Da Lang, it's an imperial decree."

The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 172 What do you think of my daughter?

After the imperial decree was announced, the little eunuch left in a hurry. He was a member of Liang Shicheng, and he felt uncomfortable after staying in Yang's residence for a long time.

Holding the imperial decree, Yang Lin was a little surprised. It seemed that he hadn't been pushed out of the decision-making circle, but the emperor was taking the country's affairs too lightly.

Dealing with Khitan's negotiations is likely to lead to war between the two countries, and he even said lightly, "Your discretion."

As long as it is a normal emperor, at this time, he should convene important ministers, discuss for days, analyze the situation, and formulate several sets of strategies to deal with various consequences.

How could he have imagined that since the last time he pretended to be a ghost, he used a prophecy technique and successfully revealed Fang La's rebellion in advance, Zhao Ji had already decided in his heart that he would be his servant of the Shenxiao Ning Temple.

But this is also good, lest Zhao Ji be frightened, just like in history, the withdrawal of the Western Army gave Xixia a chance to breathe.

With this extra layer of identity, he felt more confident about going to the Cai Mansion, so Yang Lin set off after a short rest.

Arriving at the gate of the Cai Mansion, many carriages had already parked here. Yang Lin stepped in and was about to stop him, but when he saw the man's arm, he immediately retracted it as if it had been burned.

The old man bowed his head and stepped forward: "Yang Shaozai, I haven't seen you for a long time, and the villains wish Shaozai a new year."

The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, other officials saw that the door receiving him was bowing and laughing, and they stood on tiptoe to see that it was Yang Lin, which was a little more balanced.

Yang Shaozai, the first tyrant in Bianjing, was notorious for his bad mouth and poisonous hands, but he was born as the most orthodox No. [-] scholar, and he was also the first in the government examination, the first in the provincial examination, and the third in the three yuan.

You must know that after him, Cai Jing began to implement the advanced education system, and there will be no more champions like this in the short term.

This kind of person got into a heated relationship with Cai Xiang back then, and it was normal for him to receive extra courtesy from his disciples. Yang Lin nodded with a smile, and asked, "Cai Xiang is still taking a nap?"

"Master, after he came back from Hangzhou, he was in poor health, and his lunch break took a little longer."

"It's okay, I'll wait in the flower hall."

In the flower hall, there was another group of officials. Yang Lin felt a little sour when he thought of the empty Zhaodefang on his side.

The officials who came to pay New Year's greetings gathered together, admiring the paintings and calligraphy in the flower hall, and having a lively discussion. When they saw Yang Lin coming in, they were immediately silent.

Immediately, people surrounded him with a smile. Lan Congxi stood up and said, "Wen Yuan, come and sit here."

The hall was a little stuffy, Yang Lin waved his hand and said, "No, I'll go to the courtyard for a stroll, and the Grand Master will come back when he wakes up."

After he left, everyone surrounded Lan Congxi together, and Yang Lin came to pay New Year's greetings to Prime Minister Cai, and it was when he was so sensitive just after he overthrew Han Zhongyan.
