Chapter 29: Truth

The two little waiters got the reply and said with a smile: "Yang Jieyuan has to go to the appointment on time, our grandfather is about to leave Beijing, and I don't know when I will come back." ”

Yang Lin only thought that he was sent to Jiangnan to search for treasures, and he didn't care much, but the people from the Imperial City Division next to him had a playful look on their faces.

Tong Guan's name has recently become a household name in Bianliang, just because he is about to lead troops to the war.

After Cai Jing became the prime minister, the first thing he did was to recommend Tong Guan to take command and crusade against Hehuang.

A eunuch went out on the expedition, which attracted rumors in Bianliang City and became the talk of the people on weekdays.

In the past, there were also eunuchs in the Great Song Dynasty who fought with the army, but most of them were used as prison soldiers, and this time Cai Jin directly recommended Tong Guan to take command, which can be said to be a thankful retribution.

Of course, this also aroused the sideways attention of the world's Shilin, the new prime minister was about to flatter the eunuchs as soon as he came to power, this was not the situation they wanted to see.

The impeachment and opposition were transmitted to Zhao Ji's palace like snowflakes, but the emperor didn't even look at it, and it was burned clean. Yang Jian and Tong Guan in the palace bought off the concubines, which can be described as an iron plate, Zhao Ji was coaxed by them to play football every day, alchemy, seek immortals, play calligraphy and painting, and build gardens...

Tong Guan has been depressed for fifty years, and people are close to the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but suddenly they come and go. He attributed all this to Yang Lin, because every thing Yang Lin chose won the favor of the official family, and every idea he came up with could make the official family's eyes shine.

When Yang Lin entered Beijing, not only Cai Jing sent people to invite him, but even Tong Guan sent a small eunuch from the province to make an appointment, and all the gentlemen in the Imperial City Division were impressed by Yang Dalang.

The unicorn is a thing in the pool, and it will turn into a dragon when it encounters wind and rain. Although Yang Lin is the son of a businessman, but now that he has the identity of Yangzhou Gongsheng, he is about to participate in the provincial examination, so you can imagine how smooth his career will be in the future.

"Hahaha, this time Da Lang entered Beijing, but he arrived at the territory of his brothers. In the future, if there is anything unpleasant, you can shout, and a few of us will help you out. Liu Qingshui held his wine glass and said with a laugh.

As soon as Yang Lin wanted to say a few polite words, he heard someone rush to say: "Liu Er is afraid that he is not too worried, the Yang family has climbed the two high branches of Cai Jing and Tong Guan, and he is not walking sideways in Bianliang, so how can he still use our brothers." ”

These few words are clearly depreciating, the angry Yang Lin's teeth are itchy, and Liu Qingshui's face is not good-looking. Today he is the east, banquet Yang Lin, in Yangzhou he himself earned 5,000 taels of silver, and Yang Lin and him have some sympathy, which makes him a little closer. Now this subordinate is blatantly mocking today's host and guest, clearly not taking himself seriously.

"Cao Ning, keep your mouth shut, it's not your turn to guide the country here. If you don't like those two, you can go to the royal court with your father, wouldn't it be like talking nonsense at a certain banquet. ”

The school official called Cao Ning snorted and brushed his sleeves away, the elders of his family did not deal with Cai Jing, and they were competing for the position of chief prime minister, and they naturally did not have a good face when they saw Yang Lin.

"He's usually a normal person, I don't know what kind of crazy thing I'm doing today, don't be like him." Liu Qingshui's face was gloomy, and he said with a forced smile.

"It's all in the wine..."Yang Lin said softly with a face like water, but the hand hidden under the table trembled angrily.

Yang Lin was sent back to the courtyard drunk under the banquet of Liu Qingshui and others, Jin'er smelled the smell of wine all over his body, and helped him remove his shoes and socks angrily, put them flat on the bed and changed the brocade quilt, and muttered: "The young master never drank alcohol before." ”

Li Yunniang covered her mouth and snickered on the side, and quipped: "Xiao Jin'er, when you grow up, you will know that men are fickle." ”

Jin'er had already reached the age of being sensible, and when she heard this demon woman speak so explicitly, she secretly said that she was worthy of being a person from the Qinglou, and went to sleep in the bedroom outside with a red face.

She didn't have a good impression of Li Yunniang, she used to sleep on the small bed outside the young master's bedroom, but now she was driven to another room.

The cold wind in the middle of winter in Bianliang City blew loudly outside the window, and Yang Lin, who slept until midnight, had a swollen head, opened his eyes and coughed.

There was a sound of rustling footsteps outside, and after a while, Li Yunniang lit a candle, held a cup of tea, and put it next to the bed: "Master, you are awake, please use tea." ”

Yang Lin sat up, rubbed his head, shook his head and said, "I was poured a stomach full of wine by a group of birdmen from the Imperial City Division, and I can't drink it anymore." ”

"Then is he going to be a little gong? It's freezing outside, so get up and pour more cold wind. Yang Lin sighed: "You are a lovely person, but today's group of birdmen is annoying, and there is no reason to make you angry." ”

Li Yunniang said curiously: "Aren't all the people who drink today all friends of Da Lang." ”

"Friends?" Yang Lin sneered twice: "A group of gentlemen, relying on the power of the family, have eyes that grow to the door of their heads. Reading between the lines, he actually said something about Lao Tzu and Cai Jingtong, and it was not unpleasant to talk with guns and sticks, as if he was sure that Lao Tzu would rely on these two people and be their lackeys. A group of rat-eyed things, they don't know that if it weren't for Lao Tzu, they would all have to die in a few years, and the old lady, wife, sisters, and daughters were clearly marked with prices. ”

Li Yunniang heard the clouds and mountains and fog, lowered her head, hesitated slightly, and said: "Master, in fact, you don't have to worry too much about this matter, after all, our actions are here, and it is inevitable that some people will gossip..."

Yang Lin was even more angry when he heard this, "Even you came to give me pickled qi to eat, and you raised you to disgust Lao Tzu?" ”

Li Yunniang was pinched so sore and painful, and she whimpered with tears: "After listening to others, they have criticism just because they are short-sighted, but they will not make the stumbling block harm Da Lang, now Da Lang is about to succeed, and when Da Lang makes a difference, they will naturally be ashamed of today's remarks." ”

In the kind of happy place in the Qinglou, which is the most snobbish place in the world, Li Yunniang's affection is no less than that of the old oilman who has been immersed in officialdom for many years. She had already seen that Yang Lin's ambition was not small, and his means were also fine, otherwise why would she serve him with all her heart.

"You are exquisitely thoughtful, you can understand a few of my thoughts, the vast sea of wine and meat friends are all over the mountains and five seas, saying that you know that your confidant is a female on the pillow, say, how do you want to reward you?"

"As long as the master is happy, it is the greatest reward for Yun Niang."

Yang Lin was even more satisfied with this answer, such a well-behaved and docile woman has become extinct in later generations. It was not the evil old society that could not educate such a backward woman, so Yang Lin decided to use the long night to teach her some truths.
