The morning sun is very warm and shines on the dew that is just about to fall.
As soon as Yang Lin opened his eyes, there was this colorful drop of water dripping from the bamboo leaves beside the window eaves.
It was already after the frost, but the temperature inside the room was warm, and the leaves nearby were not frosty either.
Yang Lin rubbed his eyes, stretched, and turned around to see the familiar body lying next to him.
There were a few shallow tears hanging on the face, and there were a few red marks on the delicate jade arms. Under the long eyelashes, the eyes were closed tightly, and they hugged half of the quilt tightly.
The delicate face of Little Concubine Liu has a unique sense of beauty even with her hairpin and messy temples. Her eyebrows are as fine as black and her long eyelashes are curved, making her charming and charming.
At this time, Yang Lin was huddled under the quilt and sleeping soundly. Yang Lin tiptoed out, put on his clothes, and casually greeted the maid outside.
Except for the door, a gust of cold wind blew, and Yang Lin secretly screamed something bad.
Yesterday, I asked someone to go back to report, but I didn't return home. I have to find a way to deal with this matter.
At this time, he was a little disrespectful to Liu Mansion by walking out of the Liu Mansion. Yang Lin had no choice but to walk around the courtyard. When he saw no one was around, he jumped to the wall and climbed out.
Halfway through the climb, Yang Lin felt that his legs were a little weak, and he secretly screamed.
Yang Lin, who was expected to fall to the ground, was caught firmly by a pair of big hands. Lu Qian smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Young Zai."
Yang Lin stood behind the table, his face was a little red, he straightened his clothes and said, "Brothers, shall we eat?"
Lu Qian, who was next to him, smiled and took out a meatloaf wrapped in oil paper from his arms. Yang Lin ate it while walking towards Zhaodefang.
Although the streets of Bianliang are still bustling, they are a little different.
There are often strange-looking barbarians from all over the road, and there are also many young people wearing the same clothes walking around together.
Today's Bianliang is no less open than Chang'an in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and many places have far exceeded it.
The most important thing is that the River Control Department dredged the Yellow River, cleaned up the sediment, and allowed the water level to continue to sink. The protection of jungle trees in the upper reaches reduced the risk of Bianliang City in Kaifeng Prefecture being submerged by floods and sediment.
In the early morning, the Royal Street was already very lively, with the sounds of hawking going on, and the shops opening early.
Bianliang is densely populated. In addition to the main avenues, there are all small alleys. On both sides, there are many high-end houses. There are many houses in the sky. There are no wide lanes in the square, and the city is not accessible by horse.
The Imperial Street and Cross Street are the main avenues. A group of officials from the Kaifeng government patrolled the streets on horseback.
This was something that was hard to imagine before. The Song Dynasty was short of horses to an unimaginable extent.
But it is different now. The entire northwest is the horse breeding land of the Song Dynasty, and some horses are also sold in Dali.
Yang Lin looked at it and nodded secretly, but in his heart he was thinking about how to change the location of Bianliang's capital.
When the Song Dynasty was founded, some countries were exterminated one after another, but they did not choose to exterminate them all. The kings of these countries all settled in Kaifeng.
In order to show his magnanimity, Zhao Kuangyin treated them very favorably, allowing them to purchase land and buy houses to carry out construction projects and build various houses and pavilions, which made Kaifeng's construction land even more scarce.
In addition, Zhao Kuangyin encouraged officials to buy land, build houses, and enjoy life. Therefore, whether they retired from officialdom or were serving as officials in the court, many officials with rich eunuchs did not hesitate to build mansions to enjoy themselves during their lifetime and pass them on to their descendants after their death. Therefore,
The population density and building density of Kaifeng City have been unprecedentedly dense since the beginning.
After Yongxi's Northern Expedition, the Song Dynasty placed more emphasis on civil servants and improved their treatment, which continued for a hundred years.
This makes Kaifeng Bianliang even more prosperous, including almost all the top wealthy families.
Yang Lin ate meat pie and strolled back to Zhaodefang. There used to be two families in Zhaodefang, but they were all bought by Yang Lin and divided into inner and outer courtyards, both of which were the Yang family's houses.
It's just that Yang Lin placed some of the more important people in the outer courtyard of Zhaodefang, making it a lively place.
In Bianliang, even if you live in the wealthy area by the Jinliang Bridge, it is not as good as the people living in the outer courtyard of Zhaodefang who are more respectable. If you tell it, it will often attract surprise and admiration from outsiders.
Yang Lin bypassed the outer courtyard and came to the door of the inner courtyard. After the door opened, he said in surprise: "Da Lang is back!"
"Keep your voice down, why are you making so much noise? I want to ask you if there was anything unusual at home last night?"
Yang Lin asked guiltily, how did the disciples know? He kept shaking his head. After a while, Yang San came out when he heard the noise. When he saw Yang Lin from a distance, he trotted over with his robe in hand: "Master, someone said last night
The young master wants to return home, why are you here now?"
Yang Lin put his arm around his shoulders and said with a smile: "San'er, you've become a lot richer. How about it? Was there anything unusual last night?"
"How do I know this? You have to ask the maids in the courtyard." Yang San glanced around and said, "It's best to ask Yun Niang."
"I knew you were the most useless in the Yang Mansion, so get out." Yang Lin cursed.
Yang San had a flattering smile on his face, and instead of retreating, he advanced and said with a smile: "Young master, you have to decide something for me. My father is looking for a marriage for me in Yangzhou. I want to go back to Yangzhou, first to get married, and to come here for
We, the Yang family, guard the old house."
This Yang San's father is the old housekeeper of the house. He was actually a confidant who followed Yang Tong all over the country. However, he later got injured in his leg and stayed in his old house in Yangzhou.
When Yang Lin heard this, he laughed and said, "Ask Yun Niang to withdraw some money for you, and then ask her to cut some cloth and make some new clothes, and dress up before you go, so that other girls will not look down on you."
After Yang San left happily, Yang Lin first came to Zheng Yunyao's yard with a smile. When the maids at the door saw him, they were happy at first, then lowered their heads and did not come to say hello.
It seemed that he had followed the madam's rules and ignored him when he saw her. Yang Lin didn't care. He stepped forward with a smile, pinched the buttocks of the two little maids, and said: "How is it? Yao'er's anger has subsided."
How much is it?”
"Go in and see for yourself."
Yang Lin glared at her and entered the room. He saw a small crib in the room and the faint sound of a baby crying.
Yang Lin quickly stepped forward, and there was a chubby little man wrapped in a red swaddling clothes.
In front of him, there were two girls surrounding him. When they saw Yang Lin coming in, they sweetly called "uncle-in-law". The two girls were now taller, wearing identical snow-white pullovers, with a
Each has a flower, pink and cute as two porcelain dolls.
Yang Lin took a look and magically took out two exquisite jewelry from his arms, one for each of the two little emperors, and said: "Did you listen carefully to your mother and aunt?"
The two little Di Ji nodded solemnly, Yang Lin smiled and said: "Okay, my aunt and I have something to say, you go out and play."
Emperor Maode and Emperor Roufu quickly walked away with the jewelry and compared it with each other.
Zheng Yunyao's expression softened slightly, she rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you don't like going home, don't let anyone come back to deliver the message. The whole government will be busy in vain."
When Yang Lin heard this, it was a rare opportunity for this little girl to give him a chance to step back up the stairs. He quickly stepped forward to hug her and said with a smile: "I can't do it if I don't go home. I can't bear to let you two go. This time I gave birth to a big baby."
Fat son is a great contributor to our old Yang family, tell me how you want me to reward you?"
Zheng Yunyao swatted away his mischievous hand and said, "You're going to move my sister out of Genyue?"
"Why are you bringing this up again? You're still returning it. You'll find everything you want in it. Is there any better garden in the world than Gen Yue? I can't wait to go in and stay there for a few days."
"You can't do it, yet you let people say it, and you say it so harshly." Zheng Yunyao felt guilty and said coquettishly.
Yang Lin rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Give me another two months, and I promise to let your sister return to the Zheng Mansion."
When Zheng Yunyao heard this, she turned around with a look of surprise on her face: "Is it true?"
"Then there are still lies?" Yang Lin patted his chest and said, regardless of whether it was true or false, let's have a quiet life for two months.
Zheng Yunyao hugged his neck, took the initiative to kiss him, and said, "I knew you were the best."
Yang Lin comforted his sweet wife, then walked to the cradle with a smile, looked at his fat son, stretched out his hands and held him in his arms familiarly.
Even the maids in the house couldn't hold him as well as he did. Now that this boy has reached the age where he can recognize his children, he keeps kicking and not giving any face to his father.
Zheng Yunyao snickered happily, and the woman next to her quickly said: "Da Lang, the child still recognizes you. Just stay at home for a few days and wait until he recognizes you."
Yang Lin nodded, lifted him in the air, looked at his little arms and legs swinging back and forth, and said: "His four sworn brothers are called 'Renci An Ning', and the last four are called 'Le Yi Xiaoyao'."
