The spring light is bright, it is the season when the grass grows and the orioles fly, and the downstairs of Changle is still crowded with people.
Changle Tower is built on the Bian River, and most people can only see it across the river.
The purpose of these tourists' outing is to occasionally catch a glimpse of the most talented woman in Bianliang, and to see if Li Ning'er, who recited countless wonderful words, is actually the legendary fairy.
Bianliang is a romantic capital. On a normal day, all kinds of new tricks would appear constantly in Bianliang City. For example, a 28-year-old girl might be decorated with a novel flower bouquet, or her baby clothes would have some new tricks, or there would be something new.
The oiran changed his tune and sang Liu Sanbian's lyrics and music at the beginning, which made Bianliang City talk about it for a long time.
There is no doubt that in this romantic dynasty, a talented woman who writes a stunning poem every few days will gain a lot of admirers.
Don't think that brothels at this time are worthless and are the playthings of high-ranking officials. It also depends on how high you are. In the Song Dynasty, more than two hundred years of affluent citizen life made the scholarly style tend to be indulgent and indulgent.
.
A talented woman who was famous all over Bianliang was a topic of conversation among the people of Bianliang almost every day.
Unfortunately, news came out from Changle Tower in the past few days that Miss Ning'er was unwell and could not receive guests.
Those who queued up to talk about poetry and Taoism had no choice but to go back in dismay and continue to wait in line at the back.
There are also countless scholars who don't have enough money, so they stay downstairs every day, hoping to catch a glimpse of Miss Ning'er when she leans on the railing and looks away.
Yang Lin stretched out and opened the pink curtain. A burst of dazzling sunlight came through the window, making people unable to open their eyes.
"Da Lang is awake."
As the little maid sang, Yun Niang and Ning'er, who were waiting outside, quickly came in with porcelain basins of water to wait on them.
Today's Ning'er is much more charming than Yangzhou, especially when she walks with light steps and a slim waist, which seems to be a bit laborious, she doesn't have a charming and graceful femininity.
Ning'er put the toothbrush and ointment for cleaning her mouth neatly into a small red lacquer tray and brought it to the bed.
The toothbrushes and toothpastes of the Song Dynasty were actually very advanced. I brushed my teeth with a toothbrush every morning, wiped my teeth with concentrated soapberry juice, and brushed them several times every ten days, and I was free of all dental diseases.
The toothbrushes of the Song Dynasty were also called "brushing teeth". They were usually made of wood, with a number of small holes drilled into one end and horsetail hairs inserted into them. Their appearance was similar to today's toothbrushes.
After rinsing his mouth with fragrant soup, washing his face with warm water, and finally drinking a bowl of pine needle jade dew tea that is refreshing and appetizing, this is Yang Lin's daily morning grooming routine in Changle Building.
If the admirers below saw it, they would probably be stunned and in disbelief.
After washing up, Yang Lin frowned and said, "I actually slept until noon. Let's prepare some light dishes. You change your clothes and come with me to Wangchaolijia for dinner."
Yun Niang agreed, then went to the side to find a pair of men's clothes to change into. She took off the pearls on her head and put a turban on her hair to look like a scribe.
Under Ning'er's service, she got dressed, picked up a jug of wine from Changle Tower, took Yun Niang to the carriage from the back door, and instructs the groom to ask for directions to Wang's house.
Wang Chaoli is a small official who will serve as a prisoner. Yang Lin recently found that he is not bad, smart, sensible, good at talking, and very respectful to himself, so he can be promoted.
With four fifth-rank official quotas in hand, Yang Lin felt very hot and wanted to find five younger brothers to arrange them right away.
However, this job is different from employment. If you give him this quota, he must accept your favor. Otherwise, promoting a supercilious person will not only waste the quota, but also affect his mood.
After arriving on the carriage, Yun Niang sat down and said: "Da Lang, I have almost spent the money I brought from Yangzhou."
Yang Lin had no idea at all, but he remembered that it was one hundred thousand taels of silver, that is, one hundred thousand guan. It could not be spent so easily.
"How much is left? Why did it go so fast?"
Yun Niang was afraid that he would misunderstand that she was enriching herself, so she quickly said: "Dalang, you were injured this time. Master Cai and Eunuch Yang spent a lot of money to visit you. According to your wishes, we paid back double the amount. Also,
I just bought a lot of rouge, gouache, gold and silver jewelry for Concubine Liu in the palace, all of which are valuable. In addition, "
Seeing her vigorous defense, Yang Lin took her hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, money is a bastard, you have to spend it when you need it, don't be stingy. How many people in the world don't know how to spend this money?"
, whatever you spend will definitely be earned back hundreds of times in the future. As for the jewelry and rouge prepared for Little Concubine Liu, if you like it, keep some for yourself."
A few strands of hair fell from the side of Yun Niang's temples, and warmth emerged in her chest. She let him hold her hand and said softly: "Nu Nu is a waste of flowers and willows. How can I wear the same jewelry as Little Concubine Liu? As long as Da Lang doesn't dislike it.
Nunu is very happy."
Yang Lin smiled and said: "You are dressing up just to show me. I am also happy to spend some money. In addition, I will increase your monthly payment three times every month."
Just when Li Yunniang was about to refuse, Yang Lin glared at her and said with a low eyebrow, "You all listen to Da Lang."
While talking, the two of them had arrived at Wang's house, but they saw a three-story dilapidated courtyard with a pair of big happy characters on the front door.
"This courtyard is a bit rundown, but the word "happy" is new. It seems that Wang Dynasty did not live a good life. The new house where he got married is still old."
Yun Niang knocked on the door, and Wang Chaoli came out to welcome him. She was not flattered when she saw that it was Shangguan who came to the door. He has not been doing well in these years. He has no connections in Bianliang. It is difficult to rise from the bottom, and there is no one to wait for.
When I came to him, I felt a little at a loss. I bowed hurriedly and said: "Please come in quickly, but I am so sorry for you. I can just tell you what you want, so why do you come to the door in person?"
When they arrived at the inner hall, Wang Chao immediately told his daughter-in-law that the Number One Scholar had come to visit him personally. Seeing her husband's expression of joy, the new daughter-in-law couldn't help but feel peach blossoms on her face, and she said happily: "Look, you were complaining about yourself two days ago.
, I was born at an untimely time. Today, when the eunuch comes, he will be happy like this. You quickly go to accompany the guests, and I will buy some fruits, vegetables, wine and food."
Chao Chaoli clasped his hands and said, "When you leave, go and see Yang Jiancheng first. Don't lose etiquette."
Madam Wang smiled and said, "I understand."
Chao Chaoli poured two cups of tea, came to the second floor, and said with a smile: "These are inferior tea leaves. If the governor doesn't mind, he will just drink some. Who is this?"
Yang Lin pointed at Yun Niang and said with a smile: "This is one of my maidservants. It is more convenient to dress up as a man when going out. You don't need to worry about her. Brother Wang, I'm newlyweds. Just now, my lady came down to speak. She was very skillful and gentle. I'm very happy to congratulate you."
.”
Yun Niang said with a blessing: "I have met a small official."
Wang Chao Lixu gave him a hand and said, "It shouldn't be done."
Looking again, this "scribe" is indeed a woman, and she looks like a beautiful woman. She has a slender figure and black hair hanging down around her waist. Even though her blue shirt is ruffled, she still can't hide her beauty.
Yang Lin looked around, Wang Chaoli looked a little embarrassed, and kept saying: "This humble house is humble, but it makes the eunuch laugh."
Yang Lin was very satisfied in his heart. How could this young dynasty not be ambitious? In addition, his newly married wife was so beautiful, and the couple were well-matched, so they had to work hard.
