In the winter of the second year of Chongning, news came from Bianliang that Cai Jingguan worshiped the left servant and the servant of the door, and this was the prime minister in the Great Song Dynasty.

This banished official, and then returned to Bianliang to ascend to the position of prime minister, which means that the temple where the old and new parties are fighting to the death will once again change.

Yangzhou, the residence of the gods.

Yang Lin originally took his five righteous sons and little maid Jin'er to buy some items to enter Beijing, but in fact, he took them out to play by the way, and when he met Qin Hui, he invited him to his restaurant for dinner.

Qin Hui had already seen these five children a few times, so he didn't show any fear, and now the scars on their faces were gradually disappearing, and it wouldn't be long before they could find out if they looked closely.

Yang Tianai sat beside Yang Lin, pouring wine for the two of them, since she was beaten, her relationship with Yang Lin has been growing day by day, not only is she no longer afraid, but she is often coquettish.

Yang Lin took them out to play, but also to let them have a normal childhood, and it was not a solution to be trapped in Yang's mansion all the time.

Qin Hui happily got up and poured wine for Yang Lin: "Da Lang, have you heard, my husband has become a real prime minister this time." ”

Yang Lin pursed his lips and laughed: "A few days ago, I had a drink with Jia Anzhai, but I heard him talk about it. ”

"The relationship between Da Lang and her husband is so close, this time Chun Yu is not ready to be caught, I will congratulate you here first." Qin Hui got up and bent over with his fists clenched, and actually saluted with a smile.

Now the two of them don't have any interests, Qin Hui is just one of his many classmates, Yang Lin stood up, looked at the snowflakes floating outside the window, sighed and said: "Cai Jing worships the prime minister, the day of the Great Song Dynasty is getting colder and colder." ”

Qin Hui's heart shook suddenly, and he raised his head to look at Yang Lin, only to see him looking out the window with his hands behind his back, and his young back was a little desolate.

Yang Lin is the first place in the government examination personally selected by Cai Jing, and there are so many tribute students in Yangzhou, and there are not a few people who surpass Yang Lin in talent. The rumors and rumors in the outside world are boiling, but fortunately, Yang Lin's reputation is good enough, and everyone knows that he is an upright gentleman, which suppressed some public opinion. Qin Hui and Yang Lin have a close relationship and know some inside information, which is obviously a big officialdom connection, why doesn't Da Lang seem to have a trace of joy?

Yang Lin's hole card does have Cai Jing, but it is definitely not the first priority, he spent a lot of money in his family, and he bought Tong Guan and Yang Jian, the two eunuchs, as well as the concubines and even palace maids in the harem.

Yang Lin and these people are connected by Tong Guan and Yang Jian, and if they have the opportunity, they can say a few good words for themselves in front of Emperor Zhao Ji, you must know that from the Great Song Dynasty to the present, the emperor is the absolute authority.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Qin Hui saw that he was happy, so he got up and said, "Da Lang, it's not early, I'll go back first." My father has recently contracted a disease, and he is waiting for me to go back and decoct the medicine. ”

Yang Lin nodded, got up to see him off, and just pushed open the door, a cold wind blew, blowing Qin Hui's spirit.

"Hey, what a tricky wind, drill into my arms. Could it be that I also know that my Qin Huizhi is about to go to high school, and I came to pay my respects? ”

Yang Lin saw that his appearance was very funny, and he turned around and smiled: "Bring me my big hat." ”

Jin'er came over with a crane in her arms, and she was reluctant to let go, Yang Lin glared at her, and Xiao Nizi was unwilling to let go.

Qin Hui put it on happily and said to Jin'er: "Look at your stinginess, I don't want your young master's, in front of the plum blossoms in front of Xiaoxuan, the crane comes to see the snow Qitian." Hehe, Da Lang, I'll pay you back another day. ”

Jin'er is a little miser, she lost a jade pendant for half a month, but now she secretly rolls her eyes at Qin Hui, and she is afraid that the young master will not dare to see it too obviously.

This piece of crane is worth a lot of money, it is nothing to Yang Lin, but Qin Hui has never worn it. Yang Lin said with a smile: "No need, you can keep it and wear it, and you will go to Beijing to take the exam immediately, it will not be easy to walk on the way." ”

Qin Hui thought about it, but it was not easy for him to accept such a valuable thing directly, so he paused and said: "Okay, my brother won't be polite to you, anyway, this kindness is in my heart, and I will return this favor as soon as possible." ”

He tied two packs of medicine with hemp rope in his hand, and walked in the snow with it, thinking that his father was seriously ill at home and couldn't go out by himself, and the spring of the coming year was imminent, Qin Hui's shoulders bent a little more.

After Yang Lin saw him leave, he touched Jin'er's double bun and said with a smile: "Follow the young master, we will be more generous in the future, and we will not be short of money." ”

"Oh...", he snorted in a long voice, obviously unconvinced, and Yang Lin couldn't do anything about her.

Yang San drove the carriage and came to pick up Yang Lin back to his house, and as soon as he got on the carriage, he heard a weak voice: "This young master, please, just give me any leftovers, my mother is sick, she hasn't eaten for a long time, and she is dying of hunger." ”

The little beggar didn't know where he came from, so when he got off Yang Lin, the shopkeeper of the restaurant next to him kicked him: "Where did the beggar come from, did you disturb the nobleman, do you eat sin!" ”

The little beggar rolled on the ground a few times, his face a little pained, but he struggled to get up and prepared to continue begging elsewhere.

Yang Lin lifted the car door and watched him staggering and gritting his teeth to continue begging, and somehow froze in place. Seeing that his face was blue and swollen, and there was bruise at the corner of his mouth, it seemed that he had been beaten a lot.

With a pop, a small figure rushed out of the car, and after a while, Yang Tianci held the leftover wine and food that Yang Lin had eaten just now, picked out some steamed buns and beef and handed them to him.

Yang Lin smiled with relief, these children who were abandoned by the sky really deserve to give them names.

The little beggar knelt on the ground, clasped his fists with both hands and kowtowed a few times: "Thank you, young master, thank you, young master, thank you, little master." ”

Yang Tianai blushed and said, "Go back quickly, isn't your mother sick." ”

Yang Lin instructed Yang San, gave him a piece of loose silver, and said, "Go back and see your mother." ”

The little beggar was very grateful, but Yang Lin couldn't see this kind of scene, and urged Yang San to hurry up and start catching the car.

In the carriage, Yang Lin stretched out his big hands on both sides, hugged the four bald children in his arms, and laughed.

Yang Tianai sat on the side, looking at them, with infinite tenderness in his eyes.

----

The snow was still falling, and in a ruined temple with wind leaking on all sides, the little beggar straightened his clothes, grabbed a handful of ashes to cover the injured part of his face, mustered up all his strength, and pretended to be happy and shouted in a happy voice: "A-Niang, A-Niang, I'm back, I met a kind-hearted person today, and gave three taels of silver, your illness is cured." There is also cooked beef, as well as white flour steamed buns, which are white-floured.... Mother! ”

With a terrible scream, she soon disappeared into the empty ruined temple, and in the arms of the little beggar, whose face was covered with tears, was a thin woman with skin and bones, and her body was cold, apparently dead for a long time.

The Buddha statues in the temple were in poor repair, covered with cobwebs and dust, and the little beggar put the begged food on the table and dug a pit in the temple. His thin fingers were stained with mud and blood, and he shivered slightly from the cold.

"Mother, my son left you in this temple, and I took the silver given by my benefactor to go outside, you didn't enjoy a day of happiness in your life, waiting for my son to come back and burn a house of paper money for you, so that you can have no worries about food and clothing there."

After pushing the cold earth with both hands and burying the corpse swept by the grass, the little beggar wiped his tears.

Looking at the Buddha statue in front of him, the little beggar clasped his hands together and said silently: "The Buddha is above, bless the villain to come out of the famous hall, and if he doesn't bear to be hungry, he will come to worship and repay the Buddha." The small one has a surname and no name, ranks seventh, borrows the light of the Buddha, and will be called Fang Qi Buddha in the future. Please bless our seven Buddhas, and look at my aunt's soul. ”
