Chapter Twenty-Eight: Don't worry about the road ahead and have no friends
Goose-feathered snow flakes fell, the sky was gloomy, and the snow on the official road had already reached the wheels.
Four carriages lined up on the official road, their wheels rolling in the snow and making a creaking sound.
"The north wind was cold overnight, the clouds were thick, and the snow was drifting in the sky, changing the old country. What a handsome snow! ”
Yang Lin lifted the curtain and exclaimed.
"Da Lang still has time to chant poetry, such a big snow, I really don't know when we will be able to reach Bianliang?" This voice is crisp and good, and it is a little lazy, it is Li Ning'er of Yanguan Yangzhou.
Yang San wore a fur hat, raised his hand and sighed, and said with a smile: "Miss Ning'er don't worry, after the trail in front, it is the official road of Bianliang, where people sweep the floor and snow all year round, so it is easy to walk tightly." The villain came to the old man once a year ago, and it was also such a heavy snow covering the mountain. ”
Yang Lin is full of spirits, this entry into Beijing is the beginning of his career, and he is about to make up for the sky with one hand, turn the tide, help the dangerous mountain, and do a great career vigorously. Standing in the snow with his hands behind his back, his waist pole is straight, and he is about to chant a song of northern scenery, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting to express his pride and ambition.
Suddenly, a hurried whistle came, and several figures jumped out of the snow, which frightened the horses and raised their hooves, and Yang Lin, who was standing in the carriage, plunged into the snow nest.
"Hahaha, this time I didn't catch a fat sheep, it's ridiculous that the big brother said that no one would go through the heavy snow and close the mountain."
A group of nurses came out of the car behind, surrounded Yang Lin's carriage first, and dug him out of the snow with all hands and feet.
Spit out a mouthful of snow, Yang Lin was a little scared in his heart, this is the legendary bandit Qiangliang? was greatly poisoned by the novels of later generations, especially the "Water Margin" of the Great Song Dynasty, which made Yang Lin feel afraid of these bandits, and asked boldly: "Who are you?" ”
A few strongmen on the opposite side just wanted to speak, but a person flashed out behind Yang Lin, with a tiger's back and a high nose and a wide mouth, and protected Yang Lin behind him and said: "It's just some indiscriminate thieves, disturbing Da Lang, it's our sin." Da Lang and sit in the car, I'll wait for this to solve them. ”
Yang Lin's entry into Beijing this time has become the top priority of the Yang family, and Yang Tong brought him all the several nursing homes of his subordinates who run merchants all the year round.
This world is not peaceful, and there are many dangers when going out, especially businessmen with money and goods.
Yang Tong naturally has a group of men with good martial arts, and the leader is called Zhao Hong, and he doesn't look at this group of strongmen at all.
Yang Lin knew that he couldn't help much, so he hid in the extravagant carriage, in which Yingying Yanyan hid Ning'er, Yun Niang, and Yang Tianai, who were all a little afraid at this time and looked at Yang Lin.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Yang Lin himself was also very afraid, but Wen Yan comforted a few people, and the three women immediately came to him.
After a frenzy of weapon collision and angry scolding and wailing, the shouting and killing outside slowly quieted down, and Zhao Hong said beside the carriage: "Da Lang, it has been dealt with, do you need to report to the official?" ”
"It's okay, send someone to the government to say something, so as not to be in trouble again in the future." Yang Lin breathed a long sigh of relief, the thug that his father gave him was really reliable.
In fact, it is very easy to understand that the Yang family has money, and the people they hire are naturally masters, and they are really outstanding in martial arts.
"Dalang, this is too scary."
"Find a way to buy this piece of land, I will have a lot of use in the future."
Li Yunniang hurriedly remembered in her heart, now that she and Yang Tianai are in charge of the finances, and both the money and the silver are from her, so it can be regarded as a little more relieved to have an errand.
Lifting the curtain, I saw a horse running in the distance, obviously Zhao Hong's manpower to report to the official.
In the snow behind him, the blood was already covered in snow, and the traces of the fight had long been invisible. The mountains in the distance are undulating, and under the dark sky, it looks like a giant beast that chooses to devour people.
This is already the periphery of Bianliang, and there are even path-cutting thieves, these mountains and rivers are the periphery of Bianliang, but there is no slightest defense. No wonder the Khitans hit the city of Bianliang several times and signed the alliance under the city, I really don't know what the monarchs and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty do.
Sure enough, as Yang San said, after this mountain range, there were people clearing snow on the official road in Bianliang, and the road was much easier.
After resting in the carriage for another night, when he woke up, he was about to arrive at the city gate of Bianliang, and hung a banner of Yang in front of the carriage for the Yang family in Bianliang to come to greet him.
Yangtong's industries are all over the country, and Bianliang is his second nest after Yangzhou, with more than a dozen stores and workshops.
Before the Yang family could find themselves, there were already a few sharp-eyed forbidden troops of the Imperial City Division, led by Liu Qingshui.
"Haha, Dalang!"
Yang Lin walked out of the carriage and stretched, rushing from Yangzhou because of the ice and snow could not go lucky, the bumps on the road almost made his bones fall apart, no wonder the ancients were reluctant to go far away.
"Brother Liu, coming out so early to greet you really moved my little brother."
"Hehe, who of our brothers is with whom, thank you for your hospitality in Yangzhou, and now that you are here, Bianliang has to let the brothers do their landlord's friendship."
Yang Lin didn't want to be in the carriage for a long time, jumped out of the car and came to a group of people in the distance, and a white-faced middle-aged man stepped forward and said: "Da Lang, I am Bai Chongzan, the shopkeeper of Yang Jiatong and the grain store, and I have been entrusted by the old owner to settle Da Lang into the Bianliang Courtyard of the Yang family." ”
"It turned out to be a white shopkeeper, and I and a few friends were going to have dinner and drink in a few days, and we wouldn't get drunk tonight. Yang San, you take the others to follow the white shopkeeper to settle everyone down. ”
Yang San drove the carriage and followed these people into Bianliang City, Liu Qingshui said speechlessly: "Tonghe Grain Village is a famous grain village in Bianliang, I didn't expect it to be your Yang family..."
Yang Lin chuckled: "It's all small money, it's not worth mentioning." ”
"You guy!"
The group was elated and shouted to enter the city, and suddenly several people rushed up and asked, "Is it Yang Lin, Yang Gongzi?" ”
Yang Lin nodded and said suspiciously: "Exactly, Your Excellency?" ”
The person who came smiled and said: "The villain is a subordinate of Cai Xiang's mansion, my lord knows that the son has entered Beijing, so he specially asked me to come and invite him, so that the son has time to go to the mansion to talk." ”
Yang Lin agreed with a smile, and a forbidden soldier sighed twice: "Da Lang, you are also familiar with Cai Jing?" He is a celebrity around the official family, according to my father, the official family held a banquet and personally served him vegetables. "These forbidden troops of the Imperial City Division, their families are all nobles, although they do not have much power, but their titles are scary, and they can often meet the emperor.
"It's a bit of a friendship, but it's not very familiar." Yang Lin replied truthfully.
"Come on, now there is a lot of traffic in front of Cai's house, and you can't enter the door without any close relationship, Da Lang's face is big enough, Cai Jing personally sent someone to greet him."
When I entered the city, I had just walked a few steps when I saw two palace attendants coming on horseback.
"Is it Yang Wenyuan, Yang Gongzi?"
Liu Qingshui coaxed: "Here it is again, here again." It's him, Xie Yuan of Yangzhou. ”
The two little chamberlains stopped their horses with a smile and said, "We are the subordinates of Grandpa Tong of the Inner Servant Province, and Grandpa knows that the prince has entered Beijing, so he wants to set up a banquet and invite you to the mansion tomorrow for the banquet." ”
The forbidden soldier next to him touched his forehead and said, "Tong Guan's people..."
