Chapter 32: The Emperor
In Liu's mansion, even the maids walked on tiptoe, for fear of disturbing the nobles by causing a disturbance.
Today is the day when Concubine Liu Guifei in the house is provincial, this is nothing, the key is that even the emperor is coming.
Zhao Ji was not born to be a sleepy person, there were two Liu Guifei in the palace, and the little Liu Guifei was his favorite concubine, so he simply followed him to the Guozhang's house.
Generally, when a son-in-law goes to his father-in-law's house, the son-in-law is nervous, but if the identity of the other party is the emperor, it will be the other way around.
Liu Guozhang, who was born as a bartender, smiled all over his face, nodded and walked aside, Zhao Ji did not have an emperor's shelf, and smiled and gossiped with the people of the Liu family.
Beside Zhao Ji, there was a beauty with a face like a peach blossom and skin like congealed fat, holding a gilded carved dragon hand stove in her hand, her bright eyes were as tender as water, all tied to the sitting emperor.
"Concubine Ai stands and does a lot, sits down to talk to me, it is very boring in the palace, it is difficult to come out once, so don't be formal."
Liu Guifei smiled and said: "The official family cherishes the concubines, but the concubines can't be pampered and arrogant, and it is the duty of the concubines to stand and serve the official family." ”
Zhao Ji shook his fingers, didn't force it, and continued to ask some interesting things in the market.
After a while, Liu Qingshui hurriedly rushed back to the house, and the door said with a bitter face: "Young master, why did you come back, the official family and the concubine have been here for a long time." ”
Liu Qingshui secretly screamed badly, hurriedly went to change his clothes, walked to the front of the hall and straightened his clothes, and after coming in, he hugged his fists and bent down and bowed: "Official, Niangniang, Qing Shui is late." ”
The prince of heaven and earth, in the Great Song Dynasty, only knelt to the heavens and the earth, that is, to see the monarch, the Song Dynasty people affectionately called the 'official family', and they only need to do it.
Liu Guifei frowned, immediately unfolded, and asked with dissatisfaction: "Seeing that you are full of alcohol, where are you fooling around?" We can't control you, it just so happens that the official family is here today, so we have to help the concubine teach this leper boy a lesson. ”
Liu Guifei was afraid that her younger brother would be disliked by the official family because of his alcohol, so she deliberately coquettishly fooled him to help him out of the siege by retreating, how could Liu Qingshui understand this thought, and she was so frightened that her forehead sweated.
Zhao Ji touched his beloved concubine's hand, and scolded with a pretended anger: "What kind of unsuccessful guy did you go with again, which made your sister so angry." ”
"The official family is aware that Qing Shui is having a banquet with my close friend today, but it is by no means an unsuccessful thing, but a tribute student who entered Beijing to take the exam."
Reading in the Great Song Dynasty is a symbol of status, and Gongsheng is the leader among the scholars, of course, he is respected. Even when Liu Guifei heard this, she was secretly happy, and asked, "Go to Beijing to take the exam?" Or a foreign reader? ”
"Yes, it's from Yangzhou, my friend is not ordinary, he is the head of Yangzhou Gongsheng, and the government tries to solve the yuan." In order not to be scolded, Liu Qingshui bragged hard.
Zhao Ji twisted his eyebrows and said: "Yangzhou Xie Yuan... Isn't it called Yang Lin? ”
Liu Qingshui is really convinced now, what is the origin of his new friend, Tong Guan, Cai Jing, Yang Jian, even the emperor knows his name?
"It's him, surnamed Yang Minglin, Wenyuan, the eldest in the family."
Zhao Ji patted Liu Guifei's hand and said with a smile: "Concubine Ai seems to have misunderstood Qing Shui, this Yang Linzhen knows it, and he is a good reader." ”
Nice reader? A good scholar can mix with his younger brother, and he is full of alcohol, Liu Guifei loves his younger brother very much, so she pays a lot of attention to him, and she understands his temperament the most, and pouts: "I'm afraid he made it up, and used it to make the concubine happy, this kid is very slippery." ”
When Liu Qingshui heard this, he suddenly felt ashamed and complained: "Is this still made up?" If I don't believe it, I'll call him to testify! ”
Although he didn't dare to argue with the emperor, he often contradicted his sister when he was in a hurry, and went out to call someone in a huff.
Zhao Ji was not angry, and watched the play with a smile, for him, this kind of bland market family affection attracted him the most.
----
"Qing Shui, what is it to go and come back... Alas? Do what? Alas! Qing Shui, let go of me. Yang San gave it to me, faithfully protecting the Lord..."
Yang Lin was inexplicably dragged onto the horse, and Liu Qingshui said: "My sister is angry with me, saying that she is with Da Lang, she doesn't even believe it, you must testify to me this time, see if she is panicked!" ”
"How big should I be, let go of Lao Tzu." Yang Lin straightened his clothes on horseback, and scolded with a smile: "That's it, as for being angry with your sister?" ”
Liu Qingshui blushed and didn't speak, and after a while, he arrived at Liu's mansion, Liu Qingshui pulled him into the lobby, Yang Lin looked at the beautiful woman standing, and it was really the national color and fragrance. With just one glance, Yang Lin didn't dare to look at it and quickly turned his head, but saw a young man sitting next to her...
The concubine stood and sat down, not who the emperor was, Yang Lin hurriedly said: "The grass people meet Your Majesty, Your Highness." ”
When he first saw the emperor, Yang Lin didn't have much trepidation, after all, he came through time, and the idea of equality of all beings was deeply rooted in the bone marrow, without the awe of the people of this era.
His calmness is very extraordinary in the eyes of Zhao Ji and Liu Guifei, how many celebrities see the emperor, they are inevitably nervous and ugly, this Xie Yuan is young, he is so calm, he is really a character.
Zhao Ji smiled: "You are Yang Lin?" It's really a hero out of a teenager, I've heard Tong Guan talk about you a long time ago, get up and talk. ”
Liu Guifei smiled: "What a scholar, I didn't expect Qing Shui to lie this time." ”
Liu Qingshui snorted twice, was stepped on by his father, and glared fiercely.
Yang Lin was nervous for a while, so he saw the emperor in advance, I don't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, but fortunately, Tong Guan said some good things to me, plus the matter of the Keju League, he had a good impression in his heart.
"Yang Jieyuan, you are with Qing Shui, you have to teach him more truths. Our family is poor, this child didn't read anything when he was a child, he was childish, he said that you are his close friend, you have to finish watching him early. ”
Niangniang laughed, Brother Qingshui has a pure character, and what is even more valuable is that he always thinks about the benefits of the official family in his heart. Today, we are together, that is, in order to honor the official family, Qing Shui called me and Yang Jian and Yang Gonggong, and the three of us discussed how to run a Keju League and present a gift to our emperor. ”
Liu Guifei listened to the smile on her cheeks, and said happily: "Although Qing Shui is stubborn, his respect for the official family is not false. ”
Zhao Ji was also very happy, and said with a smile: "I have heard about this idea a long time ago, and I like it very much, but I don't know if it will cost the people and money?" ”
Costly? Is this a question that you Zhao Ji is considering? The Genyue and Granite you have made a good and wealthy empire full of rebellious people. The prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River has become a scorched earth. Now if you have a football league, you are afraid of losing money and money, and the devil knows how scary it is to make a profit.
"Your Majesty has been thinking too much, this move will not only not cost the people and money, but will also increase a large amount of income for the imperial court."
Zhao Ji's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he pointed at Yang Lin and said, "Can this still be profitable?" Tell me more about it. ”
