When Tong Guan came, he came in a small boat, seven or eight followers, and crossed the river.

When he left, he took the three treasure ships of the Yang family's fleet, full of goods and treasures, and he also carried a few land deeds of Yangzhou with every inch of land.

Cai Jing and he talked and laughed happily, the time had come, but they had no intention of moving, and their eyes glanced into the distance from time to time.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the students are late."

A hurried voice came, and the two future power traitors looked at each other and smiled, they were waiting for Yang Lin.

Tong Guan said half-jokingly: "A certain family has a low status, and Yang Jieyuan can come to see him off, which is a big face, even if he comes back at noon tomorrow, he will also wait at the bow of this boat for a long time." ”

Cai Jing shook his fingers, smiled and leaned back together, without the slightest hint of the shelf of the mansion: "Wen Yuan became famous at a young age, his family is rich, and his literary style is romantic, so he should naturally appear in the finale." ”

Now that these two people have not yet made a career, although Yang Lin's identity is temporarily inferior to them, he will definitely be able to reach this official position quickly in the future, after all, he is the first in the government examination.

Coupled with the gangsters these days, the three careerists have been holding each other together, and their interests have long been friendship.

Yang Lin deliberately kept a straight face, and said angrily: "Yang Moujing you are the husband (Song people's name for the superior), who knows that you will do such a pickled thing, even if you don't tell you in advance, you are still teasing and joking here, it is best to restore my reputation as soon as possible, otherwise I will be in a hurry to cut this robe, and we will break up on the spot and no one will know anyone." ”

"Yang Xie Yuan wants to learn that Guan Ning to cut the robe and break the righteousness, but a certain and Yuan Chang are not that Huaxin, this robe is still better not to be cut."

"It's not too early, Wen Yuan and I will bid farewell to Tong and worship him, and we will have a fate to see each other again in Bianliang in the future."

Yang Lin and Cai Jing clasped their fists on the shore, the three of them bowed to each other, and Tong Guan turned around to board the ship to Bianliang.

Seeing the boat leave and gradually disappear into the vast river, Cai Jing was worried: "Wen Yuan, do you think he can do it?" ”

Cai Jing pinned all his hopes on Tong Guan, and he couldn't help but not be nervous.

Yang Lin wiped his eyelids, hid the sneer in his eyes, and replied: "Tong Xianfeng is a close attendant of the official family, and he understands the preferences of the official family the most. Since ancient times, the monarch has learned literary and martial arts, sold to the emperor's family, and the monarch selects courtiers to serve the country, such as a woman buying vegetables, not looking at what dishes are fresh, only looking at what she likes to eat. We people are not reused, and we are all in the official family. ”

Cai Jing's eyelids moved, and his scalp was numb when he heard it, where did someone compare the lofty things of the temple to a woman buying vegetables...

The young man in front of him has been cautious for fifteen years, and has developed a good reputation as a gentleman, but he never thought that his heart is as transparent as this, far better than the officials who have been up and down in the sea for many years.

Yang Lin saw that the atmosphere was suddenly a little strange, and turned his head to see Cai Jing looking at him without saying a word, and secretly screamed in his heart, almost exposing himself.

"Haha, my husband doesn't need to worry too much, although he is waiting for good news at home."

At this time, Cai Jing only wanted to return to Bianliang, return to the center of power, and have a place above the temple. As for ruling the world and leaning towards the government and the opposition, it is not something he can think of.

Yang Lin knew very well in his heart that after Tong Guan went back, Cai Jing would soon be able to go back to Bianliang to start over. You must know that Cai Jing's resume was once very glamorous, he was a high school scholar in the second year of Xining, transferred to Qiantang Lieutenant, Shuzhou Governor, and moved to Julang. He returned from the Liao State and was appointed as a scholar in the Middle School. At this time, his younger brother Cai Bian was already a member of the Zhongshu House, and according to the regulations, the officials should be in order, Cai Bian asked to be ranked after Cai Jing, and the two brothers were responsible for writing the edict at the same time.

This virtue of brotherhood was taken pride by the entire Great Song Dynasty, and Cai Jing was changed to Longtu Pavilion to be systematized and known to Kaifeng Mansion.

In the following ten years, he went back and forth between the sworn enemies of Zhang Dian and Sima Guang, and never fell out of the center of power, which shows his tactfulness.

Yang Lin comforted him again, and then he turned his arms back, preparing to go back to his house and wait.

In the inner hall of Yang's mansion, in Yang Tong's bedroom, all the concubines and maids were dismissed.

Yang Tong opened the secret door hidden in the inner wall and looked at his vault distressedly, here was his life savings.

Recently, his son has been crazy about spending three tenths of his money, and although Yang Tong loves his son, he still feels pain from time to time.

There was a sound of brisk and hurried footsteps, and Yang informed that it was his son who had returned, and that no one else dared to come in.

Sure enough, it was Yang Lin who stepped in, looking at his father looking at his small treasury again, Yang Lin laughed, stepped forward and said: "Dad, don't feel distressed, money is money when it is spent, and rotting in your hands is no different from a stone." After speaking, he stepped forward and selected a gold hairpin from a crowd of jewelry, this hairpin is exquisitely crafted and the materials are exquisite, which is really a weapon for picking up girls.

Yang Tong slowly closed the secret door and sighed, his face full of reluctance: "Lin'er, do you say that Tong Guan has such a great ability?" Dad is doing business in Jiangnan, this kind of worship official has seen no less than dozens, each of which is a bully, insatiable eunuch who is greedy for money, although this Tong Guan looks different from the average eunuch, but he spends so much effort to make friends, is it too much? ”

Yang Lin sat down on the chair, played with the hairpin that had just arrived, and said casually: "Why is it useless, my son is counting on him for this provincial test, not to mention the palace test, it all depends on the emperor and the ministers in power." In a few days, when he returns to Bianliang, the name of our father and son will reach the ears of the official family. By then, huh..."

In the business circle of Yangzhou, everyone knows that Yang Tong is notoriously wealthy, and even he feels a pain in his flesh, which shows how much money Yang Lin spent in order to win Tong Guan.

In addition, when Yang Lin and Tong Guan were together, they always intentionally or unintentionally changed the topic to the military, which made Tong Guan feel like he was a confidant.

This eunuch is from a humble background, and he has no foundation in the court, so he must rely on himself once he has to rely on himself. Thinking of this, Yang Lin was proud for a while, in the future, in this temple, let's also mix a corner.

-----

Bianliang City, inside the Imperial Palace.

Zhao Ji wore a Taoist robe and held the dust in his hand, and the incense burner was fragrant, sitting on the mist-shrouded futon, lining the young Tianzi Immortal Dao bones.

Beside him stood two young girls, all loosely tied in a bun, and a few strands of green silk hung down and were scattered on their shoulders. The skin is delicate and can be broken, the eyebrows are delicate and the lips are beautiful, and the eyes are delicate.

Tong Guan knelt outside the curtain and kept telling about the prosperity of Yangzhou, as well as what he saw and heard.

When the palace attendants came to the curtain with all kinds of treasures, Zhao Ji slowly opened his eyes and began to play with the treasures that Tong Guan was searching for.

Tong Guan kept his mouth shut in amusement, the property he brought back from Mifune had been distributed to the queen and concubines in the palace and several eunuchs in charge of the palace according to Yang Lin's suggestion.

He, like Yang Lin and Cai Jing, is an ambitious person, and he doesn't attach much importance to money. For these, money is a means to an end, not an end in itself.

bought off the people around the emperor and let them blow the wind in front of the emperor every day, even if the unintentional conversation was heard by the emperor, it was a precious impression.

"Yes, this Jiangnan offering is the most suitable for your child." Zhao Ji said with a smile, but it was as pleasant as fairy music in Tong Guan's ears.

"If you can have a good time, it's worth it for the old slave to die. However, the old slave is dull, where can I find these good things, this is all helped by Cai Jing, the prefect of Yangzhou, and Yang Lin, who was the first in the local government test, to help the old slave find it. That Yang Lin's family was rich, and when he heard that these were dedicated to His Majesty, he not only helped vigorously but also took nothing and paid all the expenses. ”

"Oh? Cai Jingmo is not Shangshu Zuocheng, the elder brother of Cai Bian, who is an official to the Privy Council. I didn't expect that there were still two loyal ministers in Yangzhou to solve my worries. After speaking, he happily picked up a delicate and elegant jade carving and rubbed it. Good jade! It is the finest mutton fat white jade. ”

Tong Guan said from the bottom of his heart: "Cai Yuanchang, Yang Wenyuan, this money and house are not in vain, and I am worthy of you." ”
