Chapter 193: Kindness
After Yang Yun said goodbye to Han Zemu, he got into the carriage with Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan followed Yang Yun for the first time to contact the officialdom, and her expression seemed a little cautious, but she had the experience of following Changchun Zhenren to deal with dignitaries, and she was not stunned.
Among the girls around Yang Yun, Wu Yuan is the most knowledgeable.
On the way back, Yang Yun asked bluntly: "What do you think about the matter of cultivating the statue of the ancestor?" ”
Wu Yuan didn't hide it, and shook his head directly: "The master helps Shouwang prepare for the Taoist Festival, there is no problem with this, but it is not necessary to supervise the restoration of the patriarch's stone statue for Shouwang." ”
Yang Yun nodded.
He understood what Wu Yuan meant, and a few years ago he staged a good show of cultivating a statue in the air in front of the people of Luoyang, which was a great success and won praise.
How to repair this stone statue in the future, who will repair it, he should try to avoid being involved, otherwise it is likely to be thankless.
"Then do you think King Shou has the qualifications to achieve great things?" Yang Yun continued to ask.
Wu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became solemn...... She didn't want to answer this very sharp question, Yang Yun asked almost whether King Shou had the potential to be a crown prince, or even an emperor in the future.
Yang Yun smiled and said, "If you don't want to answer, you don't have to answer...... In fact, I helped King Shou at the invitation of Princess Xianyi, but after getting along with King Shou, I found that he had no ambition, and he lacked the determination and courage to compete for the throne...... So, this time it's just a favor, and you don't have to worry too much. ”
"That'...... How will the master deal with himself in front of King Shou or Princess Xianyi in the future? Wu Yuan asked puzzled.
Yang Yun looked at the bustling flow of people outside the car window, the smile on his face did not change, and said, "I only do what I can...... In short, I don't act to earn fame or money, I just want to get in touch with the people in the officialdom, learn about the situation in the Ming Dynasty, and prepare for the future. ”
"Oh." Wu Yuan will understand.
According to her understanding, Yang Yun is preparing for the imperial examination, or paving the way for Vanity Fair as a Taoist priest in the future.
She couldn't imagine that the person Yang Yun really wanted to help was actually Yang Yuhuan, and hoped that in the future, with the help of Yang Yuhuan, he would become a very popular minister, and then use the power in his hands to change the times and prevent the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline.
……
……
Yang Yun took Wu Yuan back to the Drunken Immortal Building, and as soon as he got out of the carriage, a guy came up and said that the Shouwang Mansion had sent someone to communicate with him.
Yang Yun glanced behind the guy, but he was a man in his forties, with a stocky figure and a square face, wearing a blue silk shirt, a flat scarf, and half-worn leather boots.
"The contemptible surname is Tang, the word Zhongyan, is the doorman of the Shouwang Mansion, His Royal Highness the Shouwang ordered, but all the outsiders involved in the clan, all came to ask Yang Daochang...... The contemptible people have found an inn to settle down in Shanglinfang, and if you have something to do, just go and order, and the contemptible people will run errands. ”
King Shou did not open the mansion, saying that he was a doorman, but it was better to say that he was a person sent by Concubine Wu Hui to assist.
As for whether he is really in charge of running errands, or whether Concubine Wu Hui is sent to be an eyeliner, it's hard to say, but with Yang Yun thinking about it, it is not a bad thing to have someone to help run errands and pass on words.
He is not well-known now, and he thinks that Concubine Wu Hui will not waste too much energy on him.
"Mr. Tang is polite."
Yang Yun was also very polite in his words.
Tang Zhongyan said with sincere fear: "This 'sir' can't afford to be a contemptible person, and he has no merit in his body, and he does all the work of running errands and remembering things...... Next, if you have any needs, just mention it, the contemptible person can't be the master, but he will ask His Royal Highness King Shou for instructions on your behalf. ”
Yang Yun smiled: "Thank you, Your Excellency." ”
"The contemptible people will not bother you, today I just came to inform you, you want to find someone, just go to the street tea shop, the contemptible people are there when there is nothing to do during the day, and you will go to the inn next to you after dark......"
Tang Zhongyan told Yang Yun in detail about the place where he stayed, and then left.
Wu Yuan looked at Tang Zhongyan's back and said thoughtfully: "It seems that His Royal Highness King Shou is very important to his master, and he actually sent someone to do some chores...... This also shows that His Royal Highness King Shou attaches great importance to the puja to be held next month. ”
Yang Yun smiled and said disappreciatively: "It's not that His Royal Highness King Shou attaches great importance to the Fa, this should be from Concubine Hui's handwriting...... Concubine Hui wants to make King Shou the crown prince, and constantly recruits talents everywhere...... I don't necessarily value me very much, but I don't want to be cheap to outsiders. ”
"Huh!? Master's meaning, why can't I understand it? Wu Yuan blinked suspiciously, and stood stunned on the spot, obviously not understanding the trick.
Yang Yun thought of the "advice" that Princess Xianyi had given him before, which probably meant that even if she didn't serve as a staff member, she couldn't do things for others, it was more like Concubine Hui's stern warning to him, telling him not to be uninteresting and turn around and run to the prince's camp.
But Yang Yun, who is familiar with the history of the Tang Dynasty, has a clear view of the outcome of the major factions in the current imperial court, and will not join any camp casually.
Now I am helping King Shou prepare for the Taoist Conference, firstly, to give face to Princess Xianyi, and secondly, to think about Yang Yuhuan.
Yang Yun didn't explain to Wu Yuanduo, turned around and entered the restaurant, and said: "The Taoist meeting will be held for more than a month, I'm just an errand runner, the court is not in a hurry, why should I be in a hurry?" Wait......"
……
……
Yang Yun really has nothing to worry about.
His main focus now is on making money, Zuixianlou's business is very good, he still has to think about other ways to make money, where can he manage so much?
In the final analysis, Yang Yun only contacted the Taoist priests in the name of King Shou, but in fact, he didn't know many people in the Taoist sect, and the Taoist priests didn't need him to entertain him after they arrived in Luoyang, and the people from his own government were responsible for liaison, so he didn't want to bother more about this.
Consultants just don't do anything.
King Shou didn't bother Yang Yun again, and after Tang Zhongyan settled in Shanglinfang, Yang Yun didn't look for it for five or six days, as if he didn't know that this person existed.
This morning, Yang Yun had just arrived at the Zuixian Building, and the brothers and sisters of the Mi family suddenly came to visit, and seeing their dusty appearance, they should have just rushed back from other places.
"Young Master Yang, I finally saw you."
Mi Yuan came over to salute, and then Mi Ying also stepped forward to salute.
Hearing the meaning of this, it seemed that he almost couldn't see it, Yang Yun thought about it for a while, and then thought that the brother and sister might have encountered some big trouble.
Yang Yun made an inviting gesture: "Let's go upstairs to talk, right?" ”
Yonehara waved his hand: "No need, just say something here...... My brother and sister have just entered the city, and our Mi family caravan ran into big trouble a few years ago, but fortunately, Yang Gongzi's friends helped me to turn the Mi family into a safe place. ”
"Oh!?"
Yang Yun heard it in a fog, and he didn't know what to say.
Mi Ying next to him sighed with emotion: "Yang Gongzi knows all over the world, if it weren't for that master who suddenly appeared to help, our Mi family would probably not be able to pass this hurdle." ”
Yang Yun smiled dumbly, he didn't know how to respond to this kind of unclear thanks.
"You two just came back from out of town, and they want to go home early and settle down, but there are some things that should be explained to me, right? My head is confused...... Sit down and take a sip of tea before ......"
What Yang Yun means, you are in a hurry to go home, and you refuse to accept my hospitality, so it's okay to sit down and talk about cause and effect for the time being, right?
Mi Yuan glanced at his sister and said, "I need to go back to arrange the handover of goods, so it's better for my sister to tell you...... And your friend, invite you to Nanshi to talk, you and your sister can talk while walking. ”
Yang Yun didn't even know who the friends of the Mi family brothers and sisters were, and he didn't want to accept this kind of invitation for no reason at all, so he was about to refuse, but he only heard Mi Ying say: "A few years ago, my Mi family's caravan was robbed by the green forest of Longhu Village, and the people and goods were folded in, this master almost fell from the sky, I think it was you who calculated that my Mi family had this catastrophe, and sent him to rescue ......."
"The Mi family is grateful, it's really hard to repay."
From Mi Ying's words, Yang Yun probably understood that the Mi family's caravan was robbed, and someone helped him in the name of Yang Yun to recover the robbed people and goods from Longhu Village for the Mi family, so as to avoid huge losses for the Mi family.
Yang Yun knows very well that his only relationship on the road is to have a certain connection with the Cao Gang through He Wuliu, but the Cao Gang is just an ordinary gang, mainly helping people transport goods, and has nothing to do with the murderous Longhu Village, and it is impossible for the Cao Gang to ask for goods from Longhu Village for him.
The Cao Gang was excluded by Yang Yun.
Yang Yun pondered again, in addition to Cao Gang, he also knew a Gai Xiong, but this kid obviously didn't have the ability to make Longhu Village sell face.
Mi Yuan left in a hurry, and Mi Ying eagerly hoped that Yang Yun could go with her to meet the "benefactor".
"The master has a saying, he has accepted your kindness, and this time doing things for you will be regarded as a reward." Mi Ying Road.
Yang Yun suddenly remembered something.
When he was in Yiling, he met a mysterious person who engraved a wooden plaque with the word "Gongsun" for him, but after thinking about it, it seems that this person does not have much friendship with him, is it another matter.
"Then let's go check it out." Yang Yun also wanted to solve the doubts in his heart, so he went out with Mi Ying and went to Nanshi in a carriage.
On the way, Mi Ying thanked Yang Yun for her kindness and gratitude.
"Childe, you also know, my Changfang has just taken over the family business, my father doesn't care about all the livelihoods, my brother is in charge of me, if something happens to the business this time, my Mi family can only sell the business to fill the hole." Mi Ying said with a scared face.
Yang Yun pondered the joints a little and asked, "I heard you say so seriously...... Could it be that you are licensed for the government? ”
"Hmm."
Mi Ying was a little embarrassed, and said, "It was Liu Fuyin who asked the Mi family to help transport a batch of goods from Kaifeng to Luoyang, and everything went well, but a heavy snowfall fell a year ago, the canal was frozen, and he had to go by land, and he didn't want to be targeted by the people of Longhu Village, and people and goods were robbed." ”
Yang Yun was stunned.
It seems that Liu Hengzheng takes good care of the Mi family, but it is actually a means of soliciting bribes.
It is impossible for Liu Hengzheng to do a loss-making business, last year he temporarily helped the Mi family's house, and it was impossible not to ask for a return afterwards, so he handed over the matter of shipping the goods to the Mi family, and it seemed that he needed to pay the freight, but where did the Mi family dare to collect it? This can result in significant savings.
The Mi family may also feel that there is a transfer of interests in this matter, and they have not mentioned it to Yang Yun beforehand.
Yang Yun also thought of a deeper level.
"Liu Fu Yin is scheming, and it is estimated that he smelled the danger in advance, and asked the Mi family to transport the goods, just to find someone to share the risk."
"Alas!"
Mi Ying sighed and said, "Anyway, the matter has finally passed, and now I can finally deal with Liu Fuyin, and the Mi family will also turn evil into good fortune...... My brother and I have been wandering outside for more than 20 days, and I really don't think about tea and dinner, and I almost have no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground. Fortunately, there is a noble man called Childe to help. ”
In the end, Mi Ying looked at Yang Yun with admiration and gratitude.
Yang Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head, not wanting to look at Mi Ying.
The Mi family felt that he was an unknown prophet, and he deified him intentionally or unintentionally, and he asked himself if he couldn't afford it.
The person who helped him returned the credit to him, which was equivalent to letting him repay the favor for the Mi family.
It's a pity that until now, Yang Yun doesn't even know who the person who helped him is.
