Night falls, and the stars are shining.

Thousands of homes are brightly lit, Bianjing is more sultry, the night market sells water chestnut lotus, the spring boat carries Qiluo, and the Bianhe River around Fanlou is a lively scene.

In the Dali Duan's mansion, in a boudoir in the inner courtyard, the water vapor in the big bath is steaming, and the water surface is covered with rose petals, which is fragrant.

A beautiful girl was half-leaning on the edge of the pool, her long wet hair hanging gently in front of Xiong around her swan-like pink neck. This little Lori has a slender figure, red lips and white teeth, beautiful eyes, and a beautiful melon seed face, with a little charm in her innocence, and a little shyness in her charm.

The white ivory-like body floated with a faint red, the door creaked, and the girl was not panicked, squinting a pair of lovely eyes, and said with a smile: "Sister Miaozhen, your bath is good, it is made of white jade." ”

Since Duan Miaozhen settled in Bianliang City, she has become a well-deserved upper-class celebrity, mainly because most of the noble women of the Great Song Dynasty believe in Buddhism, and Duan's worship of Buddha and the profundity of Buddhism are well-known to the world. What's more, Duan Miaozhen's temperament is naturally close, whether it is Zheng Yunyao or Zhe Huanxiang, as long as they see her once and get along for a while, they all regard her as their best friend.

Duan's mansion often has noble girls staying overnight, and the one who bathes here tonight is Cai Jing's youngest daughter, Cai Lingbao, who is regarded as a treasure.

When Duan Miaozhen heard this, her heart was sweet, this was what Lin Lang spent a lot of money to make for herself. Holding a white bath towel in her hand, she stepped forward to surround Xiao Lingbao, and said softly: "Why don't you call me after washing, it's not good to catch a cold." ”

"Sister Miaozhen, you are so gentle, if anyone marries you, it is really the best luck in the world." Lingbao said as he arched into Duan Miaozhen's arms. Duan Miaozhen chuckled, hugged her and said, "Lingbao, you have been living here for three days, the Taishi must think that you are thinking hard, it is better to send you back tomorrow." ”

"Don't!" Cai Lingbao looked reluctant, and dragged Duan Miaozhen's arm coquettishly, refusing to go home.

Duan Miaozhen was anxious for a while, Lin Lang sent someone to say that he was about to leave Beijing, and he must have to see him off. But in the past few days, she has been entangled by this little girl, and she has to sleep with herself, and she can't get out of her body at all, Duan Miaozhen has long wanted to fly to Yang Lin's side, but she can only helplessly sleep with a yellow-haired girl in her arms.

He sighed and said, "Okay then, let's sleep." ”

"I knew my sister was the best."

The crescent moon is like a hook, the lotus pond is like washing, at this time there are many guests in the courtyard of Zhaodefang, laughter, silk and bamboo around the ears.

Wang Chaoli said that the difficulties of being attacked by hundreds of officials in the past few days caused Xu Zhichang to feel the same way, the two of you say a word to me, so it is not miserable. Every time Yang Lin makes an out-of-the-ordinary move, his two cronies will become the target of public criticism in the court.

There is no way, there are only two of the big people who are branded by Yang Lin in the temple, and there is also Zhang Shangying's status is too high, although it is Yang Lin's lineage, but in terms of official position and qualifications, he is a head higher than Yang Lin, and everyone is not easy to be idle.

Listening to their complaints, Yang Lin didn't have any sympathy in his heart, and even wanted to laugh. I hid cleanly outside, these two are simply two-sided shields, and they are specially used to pull hatred, and it is difficult for them.

"This time, when I come back, I will start to settle the old accounts of the old thief Liang, and help you move when the time comes."

The two glanced at each other and saw each other's joy, although Yang Shaozai often had terrifying moves, but as a backer, he was still very reliable. Although his power is great, he is very cautious when he accepts his henchmen, so each of them will be carefully cultivated and promoted. Yang Lin knows very well that it is inevitable that there will be unevenness when there are too many people, and the easiest thing for the fortress is to break through from the inside, and it is not a good thing to cast a wide net and extravagant power for a close minister like himself, as long as there are a few henchmen.

After all, every major thing depends on the emperor to do, and as long as he keeps the saint long, he will always be invincible. The wanton expansion of power caused Zhao Ji's suspicion, and no matter how many big men there were, it was all in vain. Fortunately, this Zhao Guan's family grew up in Bianliang since he was a child, and he didn't go out to see his own thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. Other places, in his heart, were only part of the map, never in his calculations.

Xu Zhichang raised his wine glass and said, "The lower officials are in the Ministry of Rites, and I heard that several Shangguan have already decided on the title of Shaozai, which is the Duke of Yan Guo." Shaozai is so young, and he was awarded the title of Duke of Yan Guo with military merits, which is really a masterpiece of a generation. I propose that everyone toast Shaozai together. ”

"What is this, it stands to reason that Shaozai should be the king of Yan, but Shaozai does not admire fame and fortune, and takes the initiative to resign, if it is not for the elegance of high consciousness, it will be difficult to do such a thing."

Everyone raised their glasses together, Yang Lin drank it all with a smile, and said: "Fame and fortune, passing by the clouds, only the friendship between you and me is the most important." ”

Yang Lin smiled and raised his glass, and a few close people drank so far, seeing that it was not early, Yang Lin actually took the initiative to chase away the guests, and said: "Everyone, the hour is not early, I still have to prepare luggage these days, there are a lot of mundane things, so I will leave you soon." After drinking this cup, let's disperse and go back to our respective homes. ”

Such a move, if someone else makes it, everyone will definitely walk away, at least it doesn't look good. But Yang Lin, everyone is used to it, and it is not unusual for him to do anything.

Everyone laughed and got up one by one, Liu Qingshui walked the slower, and after everyone left, he took out a small jade pendant from his sleeve, which looked delicate and cute, but it didn't seem to be very expensive.

"Da Lang, our family moved out of Huali Village in western Beijing, and there is a custom that when the daughter of relatives and friends is born, they will send a pendant. When you grow up and get married, you will give it to the daughters of other relatives and friends. This is my sister's, and she knew that you had a daughter, so she asked me to give it to An An's niece. Hey, I even said that I was thanking Da Lang for taking care of me, but in fact, who is our brother, right? ”

Yang Lin snatched it in his hand and said with a smile: "How do you say this, the imperial concubine is still sensible and knows my merits." ”

Yang Lin had already made up his mind to swallow his daughter's jade pendant privately, and after sending Liu Qingshui out, Yang Lin touched the jade pendant, and suddenly felt a little excited.

It just so happened that Lu Qian walked past him undeadly, Yang Lin stopped him and asked, "By the way, Duan Mansion, do you know that I am going out of Beijing?" ”

Lu Qian knew Yang Lin better than Yang Lin, pursed his lips, and said a little helplessly: "Of course I know, the maids and subordinates up and down in that section of the mansion are all people arranged by us, and it is not easy to pass on a word." ”

Yang Lin frowned and said, "It's strange, okay, let's go." ”

Lu Qian yawned, walked to the outer courtyard to sleep, and turned around halfway: "Shaozai, I'm about to leave Beijing, I'm tired from the journey, I must take care of my body." ”

Yang Lin scolded and scolded, waved his hand impatiently, drove away Lu Qian, who was heartbroken for his body, and muttered: "Miaozhen has always been tame and well-behaved, and never dared to go against my will, what's wrong?" No, I'll have to check it out. ”

Thinking that he hadn't climbed over the wall for a long time, Yang Lin was a little excited, and happily took a few close guards and drove the carriage to Duanfu.

At the beginning, for convenience, Duanfu was not far from Zhaodefang, and it didn't take a few steps to arrive.
