Chapter 414 Moon White Wind Clears Resentment Long Night
Night falls and the stars are shining.
Thousands of houses are brightly lit, and Bianjing is even more provocative. Water chestnuts are sold in the night market, spring boats carry Qiluo, and there is a lively scene along the Bianhe River surrounding Fanlou.
In a boudoir in the inner courtyard of the Duan family's residence in Dali, the steam in the large bathhouse was steaming, and the water surface was covered with rose petals, and the fragrance was fragrant.
A beautiful girl is half leaning on the edge of the pool, her long wet hair winding around her beautiful swan-like neck and falling gently in front of her chest. This little luoli has a slim figure, red lips and white teeth, beautiful eyes, and a beautiful oval face.
, pure with a bit of charm, and charm with a hint of shyness.
A faint blush floated on her body as white as ivory, and the door creaked. The girl did not panic, she squinted her lovely eyes and said with a smile: "Sister Miaozhen, this bathtub of yours is very good, it is made of white jade.
"
Since Duan Miaozhen settled in Bianliang City, she has become a well-deserved upper-class socialite. The main reason is because most of the noble ladies in the Song Dynasty believe in Buddhism, and the Duan family worships Buddhism, and the profound Buddhist teachings are well known to the world. Duan Miaozhen's
Her temperament makes people approachable by nature. Whether it is Zheng Yunyao or Zhe Huanxiang, as long as they meet her once and spend some time with her, they all regard her as their best friend.
The Duan family often has noble girls staying at the house. The one taking a bath here tonight is Cai Lingbao, the youngest daughter whom Cai Jing regards as a treasure.
When Duan Miaozhen heard this, she felt sweet in her heart. Linlang spent a lot of money to make this for herself. She held a white bath towel in her hand, stepped forward to surround Xiao Lingbao, and said softly: "Why don't you do it after washing?"
Call me, it won’t be easy if you catch a cold.”
"Sister Miaozhen, you are so gentle. Whoever marries you will have the best luck in the world." Lingbao said as he thrust his arms into Duan Miaozhen's arms. Duan Miaozhen chuckled lightly, hugged her and said:
"Lingbao, you've been staying here for three days. The Grand Master must be thinking about you very much. Why don't we send you back tomorrow?"
"No!" Cai Lingbao looked reluctant and pulled Duan Miaozhen's arm coquettishly, but refused to go home.
Duan Miaozhen felt anxious. Linlang sent someone to tell him that he was leaving Beijing, and he must go to see her off. But these days, she has been entangled with this little girl, sleeping with her, and she couldn't get away at all. Duan Miaozhen
My heart longed to fly to Yang Lin's side, but I could only helplessly hug a yellow-haired girl to sleep.
He sighed and said, "Okay, let's sleep."
"I knew my sister was the best."
The crescent moon is like a hook, and the lotus pond is like a wash. At this time, there are many guests in the Zhaodefang courtyard, with cheers and laughter, and strings and bamboos ringing around my ears.
Wang Chaoli talked about the difficulty of being criticized by hundreds of officials in the past few days, which made Xu Zhichang feel the same way. It was so miserable for the two of them to talk to each other. Every time Yang Lin made an extraordinary move, his two closest confidants would be in court.
will become the target of public criticism.
There is no way, there are only two officials who bear the brand of Yang Lin in the temple, and there is Zhang Shangying, whose status is too high. Although he is from Yang Lin's lineage, in terms of official position and qualifications, he is a head above Yang Lin.
It's easy for everyone to have fun.
Listening to their complaints, Yang Lin felt no sympathy at all, and even wanted to laugh. He was hiding well outside, and these two were simply shields, specially used to attract hatred, and it was difficult for them.
"When I come back this time, I will start settling Old Thief Liang's old debts, and I will help you do some activities then."
The two looked at each other and saw each other's joy. Although Yang Shaozai often made shocking moves, he was still very reliable as a backer. Although he was powerful, he was very cautious when it came to recruiting his confidants, so everyone would get something.
Yang Lin cultivated and promoted carefully. Yang Lin knew very well that when there were too many people, the grains would inevitably be uneven. The easiest way to break the fortress was from the inside. Casting a wide net and wasting power was not a good thing for an emperor like himself. As long as there are a few confidants,
Just one is enough.
After all, every important thing he does depends on the emperor. As long as he keeps his holy family, he will always be invincible. His wanton expansion of power has aroused Zhao Ji's suspicion. No matter how many high-ranking officials he has,
It's all in vain. Fortunately, Zhao Guan grew up in Bianliang and didn't go out to see his own country. Zhao Ji has a narrow vision and almost only recognizes Kaifeng Mansion in Bianliang. Other places are in
In his mind, it was just a part of the territory, and it was never part of his plans.
Xu Zhichang raised his wine glass and said: "I am in the Ministry of Rites, and I heard that several superior officials have decided on the title of Shao Zai, who is the Duke of Yan. The Shao Zai is so young, and he is awarded the title of Duke of Yan for his military achievements. He is really a great man of his generation. I
I suggest that we all toast Shaozai together."
"What does this mean? Logically speaking, the young master should be granted the title of King of Yan. However, the young master does not care about fame and fortune, so he took the initiative to resign. If it were not for Gao Jue's magnanimity, it would be impossible for him to do such a thing."
Everyone raised their glasses together, and Yang Lin drank it down with a smile and said: "Fame and wealth are fleeting, but the friendship between you and me is the most important."
Yang Lin smiled and raised his glass, drinking with a few close people until now. Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Lin actually took the initiative to chase away the guests and said: "Everyone, it's getting late. I have to prepare luggage and do mundane things these days.
It's quite a lot, so I'll keep you here soon. After finishing this drink, we'll disperse and go back to our homes."
If someone else had done this, everyone would have walked away, at least it wouldn't look good on the face. But everyone is used to Yang Lin, and nothing he does is surprising.
Everyone stood up laughing and laughing. Liu Qingshui walked the slowest. After everyone left, he took out a small jade pendant from his sleeve. It looked delicate and cute, but it didn't seem to be very expensive.
"Da Lang, our family moved from Huali Village in the west of Beijing. It is a custom to give a pendant to the daughter of a relative or friend when she is born. When she grows up and gets married, she will give it to the daughter of other relatives and friends. This is mine.
My sister, she knew you had a daughter, so she asked me to give it to An An’s niece. Hey, I actually said it was to thank you, Da Lang, for taking care of me. In fact, who among us brothers is following the other, right?"
Yang Lin grabbed it in his hand and said with a smile: "How do you say this? The imperial concubine is sensible and knows my merits."
Yang Lin had already made up his mind to steal his daughter's jade pendant. After sending Liu Qingshui away, Yang Lin touched the jade pendant and suddenly lost interest.
It happened that Lu Qian was walking past him without hesitation. Yang Lin stopped him and asked, "By the way, does the Duan Mansion know that I am leaving the capital?"
Lu Qian knew Yang Lin better than Yang Lin. He curled his lips and said helplessly: "Of course I know. The maids and servants in that house are all arranged by us. It's not easy to spread the word."
Yang Lin frowned and said: "That's weird, okay, you can go."
Lu Qian yawned and walked to the outer courtyard to sleep. He turned around halfway and said, "Young Zai, you are leaving Beijing soon. You are tired from the journey, so you must take care of yourself."
Yang Lin cursed, waved his hand impatiently, and drove away Lu Qian who was worried about his body. He muttered: "Miaozhen has always been docile and well-behaved, and she never dared to go against my will. What's wrong? No,
I have to go take a look."
When he thought that he had not climbed over the wall for a long time, Yang Lin became a little excited. He happily took a few close guards and drove the carriage towards Duan's mansion.
For convenience, Duan Mansion was not far from Zhaodefang, and it was only a few steps away.
