Yang Lin leaned on the chair, closed his eyes and meditated.
Catching a son-in-law under the imperial examination may be the most direct way for young Jinshi in the Song Dynasty to get married.
Yang Lin fell from his horse and fell into a coma. Many wealthy families cried out that it was a pity that they had missed this powerful son-in-law.
Later, with the rise in status, Cai Lingbao, a prime minister's daughter, was able to match him, but Yang Lin did not dare to marry and was unwilling to marry.
He didn't want to become Cai Jing's subordinate. Outsiders thought that serving Cai Jing only took a few years, but only he knew that Cai Jing had been the prime minister for more than ten years.
These more than ten years were the source of Jingkang's shame. If he could not stand alone, he would be one of the captive slaves in the future catastrophe. Even if he enjoyed a few years of comfortable and luxurious life, what would be the use.
Now it seems that becoming a brother-in-law with Zhao Ji and marrying Empress Zheng's sister is a good choice.
Suddenly the bead curtain was lifted, and the sound of hurried footsteps came. Yang Lin knew that Liu Qingshui had arrived without even opening his eyes.
A cup of fragrant tea was then pushed in front of him by a hand as clear as white jade. Yang Lin smelled the aroma of tea, tilted his head and opened his eyes and said: "You are so polite today, tell me what you want."
Liu Qingshui smiled sarcastically and said, "Da Lang, I'm here to repay the money. Last time I borrowed you 200,000 yuan to win people's hearts in the Imperial City Division. I managed it from top to bottom and agreed to pay it back in autumn."
Yang Lin suddenly became energetic, sat up straight with a smile, and said to Qin Qingqing who was standing next to him, "Qingqing, go and get the dragon and phoenix dumpling cakes I brought back from Suzhou last time, and make a pot for Brother Qingshui."
.”
Qin Qingqing agreed with a smile, turned around and was about to leave, when she heard Liu Qingshui say: "Hey, I just don't have much money, can I pay back a little less first?"
Yang Lin asked suspiciously: "How much?"
"Three thousand guan?" Seeing Yang Lin's unkind expression, Liu Qingshui gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, five thousand guan will do."
Qin Qingqing came over with a pot of tea, but saw that the cheerful atmosphere just now was gone. Her master held down the teacup, patted his side, and said, "Don't pour it for him. You sit here and the two of us drink."
Qin Qingqing smiled and said, "My servant dare not."
"You can sit down if you are asked to do so. It will be easier for me to serve my concubine and not give him a drink." Qin Qingqing had no choice but to sit down anxiously, poured herself a cup of good tea, and Lian Ru sat aside, but Yang Lin dragged her to her.
In arms.
Liu Qingshui felt a little guilty and said, "Dalang, don't worry, I will pay you back in winter."
"What do you want in return? Salary?" Yang Lin didn't believe it at all. Liu Qingshui patted her chest and said, "I'll ask my sister for it."
"Nonsense!" Yang Lin actually felt a little distressed and reprimanded: "The imperial concubine is in the palace, which is a place of fame and fortune. Can you live comfortably with less expenses?"
Liu Qingshui was greatly moved and praised him for his loyalty!
Suddenly, Yang Lin rolled his eyes and said, "I have something I need your help with. If you can do it, our account will be settled."
When he heard that he could get rid of a huge debt of 200,000 yuan, Liu Qingshui didn't listen to anything. He patted his chest and said: "Dalang, you can say, although I won't do it, brothers, through fire and water, but I will never refuse to run errands or anything like that."
.”
"Why do I sound a little awkward?"
"Stop being awkward and tell me quickly. I'm just waiting to write off the account. I'm waiting to help."
Yang Lin whispered: "I have a crush on a girl."
"What do I want to do? You tell me, force or seize. The Imperial City Division doesn't know anything else. Bullying men and dominating women is like eating and drinking."
What is there to be proud of? Yang Lin looked at him speechlessly and said, "This person is Empress Zheng's biological sister."
Liu Qingshui's face collapsed and he said: "Dalang, please don't cheat me, brother. The Imperial City Division is the umbrella for the people of Bianliang, Tokyo, and the guardian of the laws of the Song Dynasty. For this matter, we should go to propose marriage. Just rely on your identity.
Her appearance, what kind of family would reject her, is enough to match the Zheng family."
Yang Lin and Qin Qingqing drank a cup of tea in a nondescript manner, and said with a sad look on their faces: "She has a marriage contract, and she is betrothed to the grandson of Shangguan Jun, the Minister of Punishment."
When Liu Qingshui heard this, he rolled his eyes and said, "Then what are you worried about? Why should a man be without a wife? I'll find a few for you."
"Pay back the money!"
Liu Qingshui sneered and said: "Look at you, you will fall out whenever you want. Since she is already engaged, this matter is very difficult. But fortunately it is you Yang Dalang, are you still afraid of this? Go ahead and lie, that is not what you are best at.
What?"
"Do you know Shangguan Yun?" Yang Lin asked, knocking on the table.
"We know each other, why don't we know each other? His younger brother Shangguan Qun is in the Imperial City Division, and he is in the Imperial College. They are both very educated men. They are experts in cockfighting, horse racing, hunting and prostitutes, and Cuju and hanging balls."
In this case, it will be easy to handle, as long as Zheng Yunyao is deceived first
Yang Lin smiled brightly and said: "Brother Qingshui, you have to help me this time. For the sake of the country, the government, and the Song Dynasty, you and I must fight to the end against the traitor Shangguanjun."
"That's right, I'll call Lao Yang up again, and we'll help the country together. Da Lang, the three thousand strings I brought."
"Take it away!" Yang Lin waved his hand, as if to say something trivial.
Liu Qingshui was overjoyed and said: "Zhengyi! Da Lang, you first deceive Mrs. Zheng, and then we brothers made a plan. You took her and accidentally bumped into us and Shangguan Yun having sex, and the matter was settled. With Empress Zheng here, Sir
Lin didn’t dare to say anything more, after all, he was the one taking charge.”——
Zheng Mansion, in the back garden.
A girl stood on tiptoes, rolled up her sleeves, stretched out her fingers, raised her little face, and was hooking a kite on the tree.
The maid below stamped her feet anxiously and kept shouting: "Miss, come down quickly, what should I do if I fall?"
The girl is beautiful and refined yet charming to the core. Her delicate and pure face seems to seduce people even when she breathes.
Finally, her white little hand hooked the kite hanging on the treetop, but she slipped and fell.
Several maids were shocked and rushed forward to catch her. Fortunately, she was slender, light and petite, so she rolled into a pile with the maids.
Zheng Yunyao held her buttocks and cried out in pain, and kept complaining about the disloyalty of several maids. Several maids retorted and started laughing and quarreling after a while.
Zheng Shen happened to walk in, and several people quickly pretended to be well-behaved, but Zheng Shen just glanced at him and continued walking with a smile.
Zheng Yunyao grabbed her skirt and stepped forward, chasing after her and asking: "Dad, why are you so happy?"
"Haha, you don't understand even after I tell you, huh? There is no wind in autumn, what kind of kite are you flying? You can only hang a kite on a tree at this time."
Zheng Yunyao carried the kite behind her back and thought about throwing it away. She was used to acting coquettishly and shook her father's arm, saying: "Dad, please tell me quickly. What's the good news?"
"Xiu Lou, do you know, do you know the Young Master Yang Lin, Yao'er, our fortune has arrived."
