Chapter 171: Your Majesty can find Yang Lin if you have something to do
"Why do I, as an official, have to suffer so much? I am already worried about state affairs, but I still rarely have leisure time on New Year's Day!"
Zhao Ji complained righteously, just because the Khitan people spoke to him again, and the threats in their words were obvious. Zhao Ji had a headache about this, and he did not want to make a decision by himself at all.
Asking him to weigh the strength of the Forbidden Army, the situation between ourselves and the enemy, what would happen if a war broke out, and how to deal with it if there was no war, would be like killing him.
I, Zhao Ji, still have a lot of concubines to favor, and I also have to enjoy playing musical instruments, singing and dancing, copying calligraphy and painting, building palaces and constructing Mount Gen, so how can I have time to take care of the Khitan and Xixia.
The eunuchs around them lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. Just when they were feeling depressed, a silver bell-like laughter came from outside, and the eldest concubine Liu and the younger concubine Liu came together.
Zhao Ji also had a smile on his face, and sat up lazily. He looked outside the door, and in an instant, he felt a fragrant breeze blowing into the elegant room, and two royal concubines in palace attire entered.
Concubine Liu gave birth to two children in three years, and her body was slightly put on weight, but her beauty was still hard to hide.
Looking at Little Concubine Liu again, her facial features are all beautiful, she smiles lightly, and the corners of her lips are slightly curved. As long as she is a man, it seems that she will fall into the eyes and smiles. However, she is simple and elegant, not even decorated with flowers.
. Her shiny black hair hangs down her back, swaying gently with every step she takes. Her waist is so slender that she can be held in the palm of her hand.
It's no wonder that Yang Lin deserves the word "peerless beauty" and has a pair of guts. He thinks about her every day like a glutton for bones.
Zhao Ji sighed slightly in his heart. Little Concubine Liu was good in everything, but it was a pity that she was born in a restaurant and could not read a single Chinese character. This was something that was incompatible with him, Zhao Ji, and he always felt that being with her was not very enjoyable.
Holding one in each hand, Zhao Ji was about to speak when he saw a hair comb inserted in Concubine Liu's hair, decorated with curly grass and phoenix patterns. The workmanship was extremely exquisite. Needless to say, this hair comb was made of a single piece of jade.
Carved out, this emerald is full of green, yet naturally transparent under the light. There are one colorful gemstone on the bottom of the emerald, all of which are fine gemstones. They are carved into seven small flowers. They are really exquisite.
In the extreme, even a wooden hairpin carved by this kind of craftsmanship should be worth a lot of money.
Such a hair comb is probably worth a hundred thousand yuan. It is beyond ordinary luxury goods and is a rare treasure that can be passed down to future generations. Unlike other imperial concubines, Xiao Guifei Liu has to rely on her to support her family. How can such a comb be found?
Waiting for the financial resources to purchase it for her.
Zhao Ji asked in surprise: "Where did your concubine get this hair comb?"
Before the younger Concubine Liu could speak, the older Concubine Liu beside her jumped in and said, "This was sent to the palace by Yang Shaozai. He said that we had worked hard in serving the officials, so he sent a box of gifts to each of the ministers on behalf of the ministers.
"
Concubine Liu's face turned red and she said, "I saw that this hair comb was more refined, so I put it on."
"Although my concubines are considered valuable, each of them is as good as my sister." Concubine Liu sighed.
Yang Aiqing was such a generous person. Zhao Ji did not doubt that he was there. He just assumed that Yang Lin would handle the matter and said with a smile: "Yang Aiqing is indeed a loyal and patriotic person. I happen to have some troubles here. Fortunately, I left them to him."
"Where are the two beloved concubines going?" Zhao Ji, who had found a solution, could finally have fun and asked with a smile.
Concubine Liu said: "In the Longevity Palace in front, the Queen has summoned the sisters to play Cuju. I am inconvenient, so I will go with my sister to have a look."
"There are such interesting things, let's go, I will go with you."——
Yang Lin returned to Zhaodefang, took off his purple and gold official uniform, and put on casual clothes under Li Yunniang's service.
Opening his arms, he allowed Yun Niang to bend down and tie her belt. Yang Lin looked at the fat tummy hanging in front of him. Two round prototypes were formed by its owner's movements, and he couldn't help but squeeze it.
"Have all the gifts you prepared prepared been prepared?"
"I have prepared two sets of golden pots and jade cups, a brocade python robe, ten pieces of Suzhou brocade, and ten jars of Fengquan fine wine. Are these enough?"
Yang Lin nodded and said: "That's what I mean, as long as I don't lose any etiquette. What kind of person is Mr. Cai? By now, he should have no hope of making money from me."
Yun Niang's face was filled with joy. She was the housekeeper in charge of Yang Lin's money bag, and the most expensive thing she spent every year was giving gifts to Cai Jing.
If it is true as Dalang said, I am afraid that I will save hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
Even in Bianliang, where the cost is very high, hundreds of thousands of guan can feed tens of thousands of families. To put it more bluntly, the money Yang Lin paid to Cai Jing last year could buy 10,000 pretty little girls on the market.
A maid, the kind who can warm the bed.
The money was withdrawn from Yun Niang's hands every day, which made her terrified. If she hadn't been lucky enough to follow Da Lang, she would never have known that the dealings between these big shots were so bizarre.
Yang Lin looked outside, it was still early, and he figured that old man Cai Jing must be taking a nap, so now he went to wait.
After sitting on the chair, Yang Lin ordered Yun Niang to prepare some manpower and goods and send them to Tong Guan's house in Bianliang.
Just as Yun Niang twisted her waist and left, Xu Saiyue came in with a cup of tea and brought it to Yang Lin. Miss Xu was wearing a green patterned jacket, and her voice was as gentle as an oriole: "Da Lang, drink tea."
After several months of adaptation, the original Miss Xu has become accustomed to serving tea and water. Fortunately, the Yang Mansion has more maids than teacups, so it is not her turn to serve her. Moreover, she is Yang Shaozai's personal maid, providing food and clothing.
The cost is even better than when she was with her father Xu Zhichang.
Yang Lin originally wanted to take revenge, but he couldn't swallow it in his heart, so he asked Lao Xu to sacrifice his daughter and niece together.
Thinking about it now, it seemed a little unreasonable. He held Xu Saiyue's little hand with his fingers, feeling a little cold, and asked with a smile: "This is the first time to spend New Year's Day outside, are you still used to it?"
Yang Lin took a closer look at the girl's slender figure, the two slightly bulging hills in front of her breasts, and her skin, which was as white, tender and round as jade. It would have been impossible for a wealthy woman to have such a charm.
"I'm used to it. Dalang treats us well, so we feel like this is our home. From now on, Yang Mansion will be our home."
Yang Lin gently pulled her into his arms and said with a smile: "The little mouth is so sweet, let me try to see if she drank honey secretly."
Before the two of them started, Yang San's iconic voice sounded outside again: "Dalang, there are people outside looking for you."
Yang Lin couldn't bear it anymore and came out with a stick. When he saw Yang San shouting outside the courtyard with his feet raised, he shouted: "Yang San, who is here this time? If I don't have to accept it, I will slap you first."
A hundred blows will relieve the hatred in your heart."
Yang San felt confident and rolled his eyes proudly: "Da Lang, this is the imperial edict."
