On December 29 of the seventh year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, the New Year Festival is approaching.

The snowflakes were still fluttering down, and it was getting darker and darker, and soon it was past dusk.

But for Kaifeng Mansion, where the New Year is approaching, this is just the beginning of the busiest time of the day. During the day, it was a little dull because of the news of the golden thieves pressing the border and the palace change that took place on the 22nd, but as the lights came on, this metropolis, which was perhaps the most prosperous city in the world at that time, suddenly became noisy and chaotic. With the opening of the Zhouqiao Night Market, the Mahang Street Night Market, and the night markets in Kaifeng Mansion one by one, the whole city suddenly fell into an unreal carnival atmosphere.

Unreal indeed!

All the soldiers are coming to the city, the country is ruined, the city is still full of lights, drunk and gold, look at this meaning, that is not a coffin and no tears!

Zhao Kai didn't know when he had changed into a moon-white shirt, wearing a Dongpo scarf, looking like a scholar, sitting in a restaurant near Daxiangguo Temple, drinking tea constantly. He is still not used to drinking, so he replaced wine with tea and went to the monk's restaurant to drink tea.

That's right, this restaurant was opened by a monk from Daxiangguo Temple...... Famous for its meat dishes! The monks of the Great Xiangguo Temple in the Song Dynasty were good at roasting meat, and they also openly opened a restaurant to sell meat dishes. This great monk of Kaifeng Mansion in the Northern Song Dynasty is really firm in his beliefs!

Of course, Zhao Kai didn't come to Daxiangguo Temple to eat meat. Actually, he came to borrow money...... Borrow money from the monks of Daexiangguoji Temple!

The monks of the Great Xiangguo Temple in the Northern Song Dynasty not only opened restaurants to sell meat and vegetables, but also used the money in the Changshengku (a bank that absorbs deposits from believers) to lend money to usury...... Zhao Kai didn't think about this until Zhu Fengying and Pan Yulian, who were in charge of sorting out Zhao Kai's private property this morning, told him that there were still a bunch of real estate and land in the house that no one took care of him, and he remembered that there was still a good place like Daxiangguo Temple in Kaifeng Mansion.

So he took Wang Xiaode, Qin Hui, Chen Ji, Huang Wuji and others, took the house deed and land deed in the house, and mortgaged them to the abbot monk of Daxiangguo Temple. Of course, the Yun Wangfu cannot be taken out, the palace is the first to be given, and the property rights belong to the imperial court, and Zhao Kai only has the right of residence, not ownership. Otherwise, he would have sent it!

However, even if he couldn't escort the palace out, Zhao Kai still got 30,000 taels of gold from the monks of Daxiangguo Temple...... Coupled with the 3.3 million goods that Zhao Kai raised from the inner treasury and the more than 300,000 in the royal treasury, Zhao Kai can be regarded as having a huge amount of money on hand!

After getting the gold, Zhao Kai did not go back to the house immediately, but asked Qin Hui, Wang Xiaode and a dozen guards to go back to the house with the gold. He drank tea and ate meat with Chen Ji and Huang Wuji.

Tomorrow, that is, the thirtieth day of the lunar month, Zhao Kai will lead his troops to leave Bianliang, Tokyo. And he left early in the morning, and he would not enter the palace to say goodbye to Zhao Ji, let alone say goodbye to his group of brothers and sisters...... will just leave quietly.

Although Zhao Kai and his brothers are not familiar - he has only been here for half a month, and he has not met any of his brothers and sisters except Zhao Huan, how can he be familiar? But there is a brother and a sister, but they must be seen.

The brother who must be seen is named Zhao Zhi, the twelfth son of Zhao Ji, who is eighteen years old this year and has been crowned King Xin. And that girl's name is Zhao Duofu, who is only fifteen years old this year, and she has been crowned Emperor Roufu, and she is still waiting for the word boudoir. Both of them are compatriots of Zhao Kai's mother, and their mothers are both the late Yisu Guifei Wang.

Because they were born to a mother, the relationship between the brother and sister and Zhao Kai is extremely close and not harmonious with the crown prince Zhao Huan. Of course, Zhao Kai wanted to take the two of them away and leave Tokyo Bianliang, the city of the Great Song Dynasty that was about to be surrounded by gold thieves. In this way, when Zhao Kai arrives in Hebei, he can also have two more helpers - yes, just two! Zhao Zhi is as civil and military as Zhao Kai, as long as he overcomes hereditary diseases, he can be of great use.

And Zhao Duofu is very bold in Zhao Kai's impression, he has been a troublemaker since he was a child, and it must be useful to bring it to Hebei...... If Yue Fei hadn't married a wife yet, he would just marry Zhao Duofu! With her protection, Qin Hui would definitely not dare to bully Yue Fei.

Just as he was thinking of marrying his sister-in-law to Yue Fei, Zhao Kai heard a girl's voice calling from afar: "Third brother." ”

Zhao Kai looked up when he heard the sound, and saw a girl dressed in white, standing at the door of the box where Zhao Kai was, waving happily to him, with bright eyes and a smile like a flower, which was very moving.

The person who came was Zhao Kai's sister-in-law, Zhao Duofu, the emperor of Roufu.

Zhao Kai was of course happy to see his sister, and beckoned to her: "How rich, come and sit, my brother has already stewed the monks of Daxiangguo Temple on your favorite Dongpo elbow." ”

Zhao Duofu frowned, looking very unhappy, "Third brother is talking nonsense again, when do I even like to eat big elbows?" Also, the third brother doesn't keep calling me the little words, how can you call me how rich I am today? ”

Your little print is ...... Zhao Kai thought about it, and then remembered that his sister disliked the cheesy name "Duofu", so she especially liked to give nicknames, what a lot, Yuanyuan, Huanhuan, and Nian Mei.

"Sister Nian, don't block the door, go in quickly...... There are many people here, and it is not good for people to recognize them. ”

Before Zhao Kai could think about what to call the girl, another voice came from outside the door, and then he saw a big man in white with a panicked look pulling Zhao Duofu into the box together. This young man is also very handsome, more than 1.8 meters tall, his face is like beautiful jade, and his eyes are like Langxing. It's just that the expression on the face of this big young man is panicked, and he can't stop looking outside when he enters the door, as if someone outside is chasing him with a knife.

Needless to say, this big boy is Zhao Zhi, the king of Song Xin, a compatriot of Zhao Kai's mother.

"Brother Twelve is not panicking," Zhao Kai said with a smile, "No one outside is staring at you and Nian Mei's tips." ”

Zhao Zhi turned his head to look at his third brother, and asked softly, "How does the third brother know?" ”

"How could I not know?" Zhao Kai smiled, "A family commander of the Imperial City Division is still pinching it in my hands, as soon as you and Nian Mei go out, there will be my people in the dark to protect you, if someone is watching, it should be ancient by now!" ”

Zhao Kai is still promoting the Imperial City Division, but most of the personal officials and relatives under the Imperial City Division do not listen to him. Only the two commands personally controlled by Huang Wuji and Wang Xiaode are still under the firm control of Yun Wang Zhao Kai.

And the combat effectiveness of these two commanders is stronger than the remaining nine commanders plus one - the people under those nine commanders are all Kaifeng office workers. And Huang Wuji's command post is all strong men from the Western Army, and Wang Xiaode's command is full of rangers who are willing to be eagle dogs, so Zhao Kai still dares to leave the Yunwang Mansion in plain clothes.

Zhao Zhi frowned when he heard this-didn't he say that no one was watching? Aren't your people human?

"Sit down," Zhao Kai smiled at the two, "Eat more good wine and good food, after eating, we will have to travel a long way, and we may not be able to eat such authentic Kaifeng dishes in the future." ”

"Traveling a long way?" Zhao Zhi was stunned for a moment, "Third brother, it's you who want to go a long way, not the two of us who want to go a long way!" ”

Zhao Kai smiled: "Let's go together, let's go to Hebei together...... Leave tomorrow! ”

"Third brother, what do you mean?"

"Third brother, does my father know?"

Zhao Zhi and Zhao Duofu both exclaimed, they didn't think about leaving the good place of heaven on earth in Kaifeng Mansion, Tokyo.

Zhao Kai looked at the tall brother and the unbelievably beautiful girl, and smiled: "It's all arranged, you just have to follow the foolish brother...... With a foolish brother here, I won't let others bully you both! ”
