The territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty is vast, coupled with the vertical and horizontal mountains, the situation is complex, so there are many feudal towns, the Yellow House Southern Tang Dynasty adopted a policy of restraint, the great feudal princes, these places are divided, only need to maintain the recognition of the imperial court, the monarchs of the Southern Tang Dynasty will not frequently interfere in local government affairs, and occasionally there will be military disasters and riots, and they will sue for force. This extremely loose national policy has made the temples and rivers and lakes of the Southern Tang Dynasty peaceful for more than 200 years, and the Southern Tang Emperor has indeed reached the realm of "the king gives his hands to rule".

The prosperity of Liujing, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, is second only to the glazed city of the Great Sui in the Southern Zhan Continent, reaching a population of one million, three religions and nine streams, mixed fish and dragons, and the Southern Tang Dynasty is not like the Suzaku and the Great Sui dynasties, and has never despised the big businessmen, making Liujing a famous gold cave in the Southern Zhan Continent, and countless businessmen who have been crowned with the title of "rich and rival country" almost all have their own villas in Liujing, no matter the scenery or aura, they are not inferior to the level of the second-rate immortal mansions, which is absolutely unimaginable elsewhere. Since ancient times, famous mountains have been treated as saints, how can there be a place for people who are covered in copper smell?

The East Mountain of Liujing, also known as Xiangyang Mountain, is such a feng shui treasure land where the powerful and rich gather.

Dongshan also has a saying that "when you are born in the south foothills, you must be buried in the north foothills when you die", and the "yin house" in the north foothills, every inch of land and every inch of gold, is not lost to the south foot at all. Countless generals, scholars, and lords like to place their afterlife at the northern foot of Xiangyang Mountain. The feng shui here is very exquisite, and quite contradictory, even many famous people in the world can't see through the mystery, and bluntly make people confused.

When the Southern Tang Dynasty was in the prime of life, but he had a gentle temperament since he was a child, and his wife's wrists were very soft, the queen Wu was quite heroic, and the two imperial concubines were also born in a wealthy lord, because the emperor has not established the prince among more than a dozen princes, the dispute between the palace and the palace is inevitable, and it involves the open and secret struggle of the three powerful relatives, but in general, it is still within the scope that the imperial court can bear, and it has not affected the normal operation of the political affairs of the temple center. However, the most respected by the Son of Heaven, the former queen Yang, and the eldest prince of the grandson, both died of illness in ten years, which made the Son of Heaven suffer a big blow.

The original queen Yang's maiden family, a relative of the Yang family, because of the virtuous lady of Queen Yang, when she was alive, she repeatedly declared righteousness to the family, and was not allowed to bully others, so that the Yang family won the unanimous reputation of "self-modesty and pure family style" in the government and the opposition. Now the Southern Tang Dynasty Empress Wu before entering the palace, is the former Empress Yang's boudoir friend, in the past ten years, the Yang family has taken more care of the children, without hesitation to seal the official into the knighthood, so that this has lost the backbone of the family, still better than the scenery of the Empress Yang when she was alive, and has always been guilty of the Yang Emperor, naturally happy to see it, never refuse, the central cabinet occasionally dissent, the chapter was "left in the middle of the book".

Whenever it is nightfall, halfway up the mountainside at the southern foot of Dongshan, a private house, originally quite far away, just because every household hangs red lanterns, the lights are brilliant, so if you look up at the bottom of the mountain, it is really a splendid scene of the Milky Way falling in the world.

This is one of the ten scenic spots in Liujing, the "Sunny Lights".

Relatives of the Yang family, due to the current queen's nostalgia, the past ten years have been thriving, although the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Yang family has not been able to appear a leading figure, a little green, but this does not delay the Yang family's prestige in Liujing, second only to the Wu family as a red relative. Most of the old people of the Yang family live in the old mansion of the Guogong Mansion in Qingyun Lane, and the young people prefer to live in the Dongshan Courtyard, especially the famous Yang Shunshui, the demon king of the mixed world, as the only son of the old national uncle Yang Qingmao, he simply regards the Dongshan Mansion as a happy nest, calling friends and singing songs every night.

Yang Shunshui is not a martial artist, but he is firmly in the fifth position of the prince brother in the capital, relying on anyone who dares to provoke, it is rumored that this gentleman is not afraid of anyone in this life, only afraid of two people, one is his aunt and former queen, and the other is the eldest prince Huang Dongsheng, especially when the latter is alive, Yang Shunshui is a person, and he is extremely restrained, and he can listen to Huang Dongsheng's persuasion, after the death of these two people, no one can suppress him, and since then, the sky and the earth are wide and I can gallop the posture, the youngest son of Chu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, in a Lantern Festival a few years ago, was almost beaten to death by this guy, causing an uproar, and in the end, it was still Empress Wu who asked people to come forward in private to appease the Chu family, only to calm the turmoil.

There is a saying in the officialdom of the capital that there is a huge Yang family, and all the limelight is monopolized by Yang Xiaoyan.

In addition to Yang Shunshui's generosity, the Yang family also has a gold-lettered signboard of "Mountain Family Qing Offering", the Yang family's jade grits soup, the material is mainly ordinary radish, but after being made by the family in a secret method, it was recognized by the Southern Tang Dynasty gluttony that "there is no such taste in the world". In addition, Qingjing rice and red bean porridge, which are said to be able to replenish vitality, are simply invincible in treating people. The gluttonies in the capital are all good, and they are the wealthy lords who do not deal with the Yang family, and they are also willing to bow down in this item.

There is a Gan terrace and a jade base in the Yang family's courtyard, which is Yang Shunshui's generosity, which can accommodate hundreds of people to sit at the same table, talk highly, and comment on the world's heroes.

At this time, there were more than 30 people on the Gan terrace, most of them were weak crown age, and the oldest was only in his early thirties.

Alcoholic and beautiful women, beautiful musicians, singing and dancing, and laughter are wanton.

Everyone is a happy person and does happy things. At this point in life, it is better than the gods, what more can the husband ask for.

On the main seat, it is Yang Shunshui, who is naked and drinking a glass, with a strong figure, a masculine physique, and his chest is stained with wine.

There was a son-in-law who was like a peach blossom and said with a smile: "Brother Yang, do you know what the capital says about you now?"

Yang Shunshui put down the wine glass, raised his arm to wipe the corners of his mouth, and laughed loudly: "What's the matter, there is another hairless old dog who can't open his eyes and scold Lao Tzu?"

For Yang Shunshui, those gossip officials who like to chew their tongues the most are simply the watchdogs raised by their masters in the Southern Tang Dynasty. However, as a top wealthy family, the Yang family has always had a close relationship with Yanguan, which was not needed by Queen Yang when she was alive, and later his grandfather and father deliberately avoided it in order to avoid suspicion. So over the years, Yang Shunshui, the eldest grandson, has been taken out to talk about things. Fortunately, the Yang family's connections are still there, and that little fight is not a pain in the bones, but it just makes Yang Shunshui feel very unhappy.

This father is just a handsome son of the local county guard, the reason why he can become a guest here, gathered in a group of sons of a family whose parents are all ministers, it goes without saying that in addition to being handsome and not losing the woman's skin as a stepping stone, he also relies on the mouth of the lotus flower, and the ability to slap the horse, perfect. At this time, I saw him pretending to be surprised, "Didn't Brother Yang hear this sentence? That's right, Brother Yang!"

This matter is a "commendation" a few days ago, Yang Shunshui was annoyed that a girl playing a kite was not interested, so he twisted his neck on the spot, the poor woman Xiangxiaoyu did not say, he casually threw the body outside the Gan terrace, and even did not allow the servants to carry it away, until the banquet was over, and the body was taken away by the Qinglou where the girl was.

As soon as this poem came out, it immediately won full applause and continued sycophancy.

Yang Shunshui slapped his knees with joy and shouted, "Good!"

Yang Shunshui drank a glass of wine, his eyes were hazy, and he laughed.

In a trance, he seemed to see a young man who made himself ashamed of himself, that person had a gentle smile and always made everyone feel like a spring breeze.

That person's name is Huang Dongsheng, who used to be the man with the most hope of becoming the monarch of the Southern Tang Dynasty, praised by the government and the opposition, and was the first-class reading seed in the world.

That person is also his cousin Yang Shunshui.

Yang Shunshui shook his head vigorously, with a cruel smile on his face, and said to himself: "You are such a humble gentleman, flawless! What is the result? Not dead?! Look at me, an unsuccessful loser, but even the gods envy me! Do you know why I hate you? If you look down on me from the bottom of your heart like others, that's it, why do you want to ......?"

Yang Shunshui muttered in a low voice, and finally gradually put away his hideous smile, regained his calm, squinted his eyes, and said: "It's also a shame that the princess was martyred early, otherwise, hehe......"

The powerful portals of the capital all know that Yang Shunshui has three hatreds, one hates Sima Ruyu, who humiliated him when he was a teenager, this person is the eldest grandson of Sima Changyi, the Zhongshu Ling, and the later champion Sima Ruyu.

The second hatred once beat Yang Shunshui to call his father and mother, this person is the second son of Fu Xiang, the general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, with brilliant military achievements, he followed his father to join the army at a young age, although he was placed in the second position of the son of the capital by the good deeds, but Fu Yang rarely entered Beijing, not to mention that he couldn't get mixed with Yang Shunshui, the demon of the world, that is, Qi Changchun, the son of the British prince who made friends all over the world, and the top handsome man in the Southern Tang Dynasty with his family background and Fu Yang's middle between, it is said that he also ran into a wall on Fu Yang's side. The last time he followed his father into Beijing to face the saint, Yang Shunshui was instigated and preached, and he went to Fu Yang for trouble, but the people did not use the elite servants in the army at all, and beat Yang Shunshui half to death with one hand.

Three hatreds of the Liujing Oiran Wei Wei, she would rather not accept a copper plate, and was willing to toast a poor scholar, ignoring the Yang family who was willing to spend a lot of money.

The world doesn't know that Yang Shunshui has been deeply hidden in his heart since he was young, and the biggest hateful thing in his life is that he hates the man who always has a warm smile when he talks to others.

At this moment, a confidant came to Yang Shunshui's side, groveled and said, "Son, there is a strange woman outside, who said she wants to see you?"

Yang Shunshui was stunned for a moment, and then laughed angrily: "Just this kind of thing bothers me, aren't you afraid that you can only drink porridge to survive in the future?"

This steward was once slapped by Yang Shunshui because of a trivial matter, and spun twice in the air before he fell to the ground, lost several teeth, and hid for half a month to see people, he said with a careful face: "That young woman has a very good tone......

Yang Shunshui raised his hand to fight, so frightened that the middle-aged steward hurriedly hugged his head, but he didn't dare to dodge, probably thinking of using his head to slap him hard, which was more comfortable than being settled by the autumn queen.

Yang Shunshui laughed and withdrew his hand, "The woman has a big breath, can she beat Wei Wei's stinky bitch?" Okay, let that girl disappear as soon as possible, the master is in a good mood today, and he is not like her." The woman who hopes to rely on me to fly the sparrow to the branches, there are not 10,000 in the capital, but 8,000 ......."

Yang Shunshui suddenly asked, "How is that woman born?"

The steward immediately smiled and stretched out his thumb, "The little one is just about to say this stubble, it looks like that, it's this! Otherwise, how dare I disturb the son's Yaxing!"

Yang Shunshui pointed at the sycophant essence with his finger, "You go and bring that little woman, if it is really of the level of beautiful jade texture, you just wait for the reward, if it is just gold, when you offset your merits, tattoo silver or copper coins...... Haha, with your old horse's fiery eyes, why can't you be so blind, get out!

According to Yang Shunshui's group of fox friends and dog friends, women are divided into four kinds, jade, gold, silver and copper coins, which are declining step by step, as for the first-class jade, they are subdivided into three kinds, basically the golden branches and jade leaves in the capital and the ladies in the city, have not escaped the fingers of their group, face, figure, temperament, knowledge, family background, etc., are all covered, and the name is the first-class beauty appreciation in the capital. Therefore, most of the rankings of more than a dozen large green buildings and Oiran in Liujing are actually determined by the children of Yang Shunshui and the princes and nobles.

Imagine such a group of rich and noble people who can eat and drink enough when the sky falls, if they don't find something to do, will they still be able to go to the battlefield to fight?

When everyone heard that there was such a bold and strange woman, they were so excited that their faces turned red, and some people said that Wei Wei must have personally asked for guilt, and he wanted to recommend himself for a pillow tonight. There are also people who swear that it is the girl of the Zhan Shilang family in the household department, she is very profligate, she is uncomfortable without a man for a day, and she has stolen men's footprints almost everywhere in the capital over the years. Some people even say that it is a heroine who comes with a deep hatred of blood, but even if it is a hatred of the sky, as long as he sees the suave Yang Dagongzi, he immediately does not take revenge, obediently takes off his clothes, and is hidden by the golden house.

Yang Shunshui was in a good mood and felt that tonight was very interesting because of the woman's birth.

The Yang family's courtyard covers a vast area, and the Gan terrace is located at the back, and after about half a burnt incense, the middle-aged steward led a graceful woman over, and at the same time, the cautious steward also let several guards follow behind. Although near the Gan Terrace, there is a special resting place for the sons of the family, those taciturn families are worshipped, and the strength should not be underestimated, but the steward has served Yang Shunshui for many years, and he knows too well the unwritten rules of this small circle, many disputes and contradictions, and he was beaten so much that he couldn't get out of bed for ten days and half a month, which is nothing, on the contrary, many unruly characters can even endure it, but if he is accidentally slapped in the face, and he loses his eyes in the Liujing Gongzi, it is an undying mortal enemy, just like Yang Shunshui was rejected by Wei Wei, a woman in the Qinglou, it belongs to this category, if it weren't for the fact that she had a group of Qingliu Wenchen in the capital to protect her, Yang Shunshui dared to humiliate him to death openly that night.

The woman has not yet approached, almost all of them are bright, although far away, which of the people present is not a veteranist of the flowers with vicious eyes, just looking at the woman's walking posture from a distance, you can accurately judge the charm.

The woman didn't have that kind of gentleness that came belatedly.

She walked step by step, strolling leisurely, as if she was more confident than the nobles of Tianhuang.

When she walked up the white jade steps of Gan Terrace and really appeared, a young man from Pi Guogong sighed: "It's really stunning." ”

There has never been a woman who is so domineering under the gaze of these powerful sons in the capital.

So much so that almost no one realized that this young woman was carrying a quaint long box at an inopportune time.

Yang Shunshui looked at it from afar, straightened his waist, waved his hand, and more than a dozen dancers and singers on the Gan terrace immediately left quietly from both sides.

The woman, in full view of everyone, looked around and looked down at the bottom of the Gan terrace, as if she was looking for something.

A swarthy man with a sturdy figure grinned silly, then beckoned vigorously, laughed loudly and asked: "Girl, why are you here? Look at your fine skin and tender meat, do you want my brother and me to love you? In the capital city, my brother and I are the most gentle!"

This person's name is Ge Shuya, very strange, the family is a serious child of the county Wang family, and his parents are famous husband and wife in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but he gave birth to such a freak, even the family feels incredible, and what is even more strange is that his mother is the most spoiled by this most unsuccessful young son. The ancestor of the Geshu family was a prisoner, after joining the army, and had a career of forty years, he was born as a general and a double noble identity of the Zhu State, and became the center of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"Tu Baozi" Ge Shuya once followed his uncle into Beijing to travel, and then he was not homesick, and Yang Shunshui did not know each other, and became the latter's most loyal helper, Yang Shunshui also likes this kind of stunned green who cares about his head, so that it is very comfortable to evoke, over time, Ge Shuya took root in the capital and won the nickname of "brother", even Yang Shunshui sometimes called him a nickname, which made Ge Shuya, who was born with a tendon, often feel that Lao Tzu is mixed with this, how can it be worth it in this life!

Not to mention, the capital is very afraid of a crazy person like Ge Shuya.

Ge Shuya waved his hand for a long time, and found that the girl had completely ignored him, which made him a little stupid, scratching his head, and smirking awkwardly.

The audience burst into laughter.

The young man who said the word "stunning" said everyone's voice, Huo Ran got up, this person is high-crowned and broad-minded, showing the grace of a scholar, compared to the "informality" of most people, including Ge Shuya, as the son of the overlord of the southern literary world "Old Master Ji", Ji Jiankang is a veritable Southern Tang Junyan, and Sima Ruyu is the same year as the imperial examination in the first year of Yuanjia, and it is also the list of the palace examination that year, plus the one who was favored by Wei Weiqing, The Han Shi who won the first class of Tanhua, and called the three heroes of Yuanjia, His Majesty the Emperor who had rarely held court meetings at that time, specially participated in the Qionglin banquet for this purpose, His Majesty the Emperor temporarily attended, and the old civil officials and bigwigs looked at the emaciated son who was almost unrecognizable, the pillar of the country, and could not afford to fall to the ground, and almost couldn't cry.

Ji Jiankang deserved the comment of Fengshen Yulang, and said with a pleasant face: "In Xia Langya Ji Jiankang, girl, is there something wrong?"

Boos erupted.

Everyone here knows the roots, and knows that this guy has a heart of pity and cherishing jade, for fear that giving Yang Shunshui that rough embryo will ruin her peerless appearance.

Yang Shunshui was not annoyed, laughed, and at the same time signaled to the few family servants who only dared to stand on the steps, so don't be an eyesore there.

The servants silently retreated down the steps, and their bodies sank into the darkness again.

After all, the Yang family is a relative of the Southern Tang Dynasty in the past, and the old foundation is strong enough, and countless families worship and celebrities and guests, and they are grandiose.

The woman in the back box finally looked at a place under the Gan terrace, her eyes darkened, as if she was a little sad.

From beginning to end, not to mention others, it was the leader of the Yang family's Shunzi generation, Yang Shunshui, the celestial name of the Southern Tang Dynasty, she didn't look at it once.

She's not around anymore.

There is no one in sight at all.

Yang Shunshui frowned, his face gloomy.

The young man with charming eyebrows and handsome skin sighed: "Yo, little girl, the shelf is quite big, why, before marrying our Yang Gongzi, you started to put up the score of your sister-in-law?"

His gags made the subtle atmosphere that had become a little dignified suddenly eased, and even Yang Shunshui couldn't help but smile.

He held a plain bamboo folding fan, gently pressed it against his chin, and continued to joke with the woman: "Girl, dare to ask Fang's name, how old is Fang?"

The woman with the back box who was in the tiger's den in Longtan and didn't know it finally looked at Yang Shunshui opposite, and her voice was cold, "Do you remember the woman named Xiaoqian?"

Sidestep the question.

The fan boy smiled unabated, but a touch of gloom flashed in his eyes.

Yang Shunshui was stunned, and for the sake of her beautiful face, she said patiently: "Only this year, there are nearly 100 beauties of all kinds who have been fortunate to me, do you think I can remember this little ...... What's small?"

The woman said seriously: "Xiao Qian, surnamed Liu, lives in Huyafang in the south of the city, Yinyu Hutong Lane, and serves as a kite player in Jingshui Building. ”

The audience fell silent.

There are more than 30 people here, no matter whether they have good or bad temperaments or high or low backgrounds, they all have one thing in common, that is, there is no real fool.

is honest and reckless like Ge Shuya, who has been clinging to Yang Shunshui over the years, and a large group of children of powerful people in the capital are brothers, family elders or children of the same generation go to Beijing, whether it is the operation of officialdom or the hope of the literary world, under his matchmaking, how many unseen benefits have he obtained?

She continued to look at her and said, "This seat ......"

She paused, her eyes gloomed, and after a moment, she regained her sharpness, "Xiao Qian and I are friends, friends!"

The word friend, she repeated twice.

Yang Shunshui was relieved, his elbow was on his knee, his palm was supporting his cheek, and he asked with a smile: "If it weren't for your reminder, I really don't know her name, it turned out to be Liu Xiaoqian......"

The woman immediately interrupted: "Shallow, shallow of the shallow water!"

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, most of them with narrow and playful eyes.

This woman who looks so stunning doesn't seem to have a better brain than Ge Shuya's rough man.

It's a pity.

Peerless beauty, incomprehensible style, boudoir fun, will inevitably be reduced, it is a pity.

Yang Shunshui was a little strange why he was so good-tempered, and said with a smile: "Then what do you want?" Do you want to ask for justice, or do you want to compensate the silver taels, or ...... Do you want me to fight for my life?"

In the end, Yang Shunshui himself was amused and laughed.

The woman asked, "Why not?"

She asked again, "Do you think your life is worth more?"

She asked, "Why, is it because she is not from a better background than you, or is it not as good as you?" or ...... Just because you're a child of the Yang family?"

This series of three questions sounded extremely absurd to the ears of everyone present, but the woman asked extremely seriously, like a discussion between a master and a sage.

In his life, Ren Xia is not profitable, and he is a kite trick when he laughs and kills.

In Liujing City, there is indeed this poem circulating now, some people hate it, they hate the arrogance of the little Yama king of the Yang family, some people frown, they are disgusted by the naivety and inferiority of the eldest grandson of the Yang family, some people laugh at it, it is not their own business, and they look at the joke coldly. There are even more people who are extremely envious, because they envy the kind of power that people can not treat others as human beings after they become people.

Only no one cares about the "kite player", where the girl's family lives, who the girl's surname is, and whether the girl will be a big worry because of her foreign accent.

At this time, the woman in the back box was in the midst of the tiger and wolf's eyes.

She cares.

So she came here today and told those people that the girl's name was Liu Xiaoqian, the shallow of the shallow water.

But she didn't stop there.

Because she is the woman who always likes to call herself "the most brilliant female sword fairy in the world for thousands of years".

This seat Huang Donglai comes!

She said slowly: "If this is your reasoning, and you think it is justified, it doesn't matter, and this seat will also talk about my reasoning today." ”

At that moment, the heaven and earth were filled with sword qi.

There are no signs of momentum.

It was like she had the sword qi of a big river, so she shook her sleeves casually, and poured out the majestic sword qi of a tributary river.
