Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

Tokyo Xiangguo Temple, Naiwa City. The monks' rooms are scattered around, and the two verandas in the atrium can accommodate tens of thousands of people, where all business, travel and transactions can be gathered.

Ancient books once said this.

Just seeing it in person, Ling Qingyu was still greatly shocked. Those open-air New Year stalls in later generations were nothing compared to this!

Because they were going out to visit the stalls, everyone was dressed in civilian clothes. Ling Yu wore a thick cotton coat, a pair of special cotton boots, and gloves. Yang Zhao and He Li both wore casual clothes, and Ling Qingyu, a big cotton man, Compared with the world, several men's clothes are fluttering, and they can look chic even in ordinary clothes.

In front of the gate of Xiangguo Temple is a sales point for various animals, including rare birds and exotic beasts. The second time you enter the mountain gate, there are colorful curtains and various vendors in the courtyard, selling a variety of daily necessities. Only you can There is nothing you can’t think of and you can’t find. Near the Buddha Hall, the corridors on both sides are filled with various works of the sisters-in-law, including embroidery, jewelry, hats, etc. The back of the main hall is filled with all kinds of books, rare treasures and pictures, as well as specialties and spices from various places, etc. . The back corridor is used for fortune tellers and portrait painters.

Ling Qingyu first walked around briefly, then went to the corridor to look at the works of the monastery nuns. He also bought bacon and some dried fruits in the atrium, and then wandered back to the back to look at the books and pictures.

The Xiangguo Temple was crowded with people, but there were always people around her to help her circle a small area of ​​freedom, so she was not affected.

If you buy it again, you won't be able to hold it anymore. Yan San knocked on her and said.

Ling Qingyu turned around and realized that not only the Shadow Thirteen Soums, but also He Li and Yang Zhao's hands were almost full. Fang reluctantly stopped and said, Why don't you send the carriage up first.

Well, you go over there and have a rest first, and we'll go deliver the things. Yang Zhao said, pointing to a small tea stall next to him.

Okay. After walking around for so long, Ling Qingyu was a little tired, so he obediently sat down with Yan San at the tea stall, ordered some food, and started eating slowly.

Wan's business in Xiangguo Temple has always been lively, so he opened an open space next to it to park carriages.

After finding the carriage and putting the things on it, Ying Thirteen took out some copper coins from the hidden compartment inside the carriage. Da Zhou was used to using copper coins. Although so many copper coins were really heavy to carry around, it was impossible to carry them in a place like this today. They ran away with a large ingot of silver, so each of them carried copper coins, but they were almost used by Ling Qingyu.

After taking the copper coins, the four of them walked into Xiangguo Temple again. As soon as they entered the door, a group of women walked towards them.

Yang Zhao and the other three stepped aside to let the man surrounded by the maids and women walk over.

Yang... Zhao...? The group of people had already passed by, then stopped, and one of the two women in the middle asked uncertainly.

Yang Zhao glanced at her and said nothing. The woman looked at him carefully for a while, walked up to Yang Zhao and asked, Yang Zhao?

This time the tone was affirmative. Yang Zhao bowed his hands and said, I have met Madam.

The woman's face was filled with surprise and she said, It's really you. Why didn't you come to Jing'an Marquis Mansion to sit down when you came back? Seeing Yang Zhao's indifferent expression, he took out his handkerchief and pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes, and said, Hey, Back then, there was nothing I could do. If she wasn't a married woman, I would have been implicated. By the way, you know what happened to Kexin, she has been waiting for you.

Is Mrs. Yang wrong? Isn't the young lady from Jing'an Marquis already married a long time ago? Yang Zhao took a step back and said calmly.

Mrs. Yang was stunned. That year, the Yang family was executed by the whole family. She was a married woman but she avoided it. Moreover, because her husband's family respected the Yang family and everyone in the family was loyal, it was better for her. Yesterday, I heard from my husband that Yang Zhao is now in a high position again. This time the Holy Emperor recalled him to the capital, and he was afraid that he would be promoted again. I couldn't help but think that my daughter was now a widow and it was not uncommon for her to cry at home every day, so she thought a little bit. Now I see Yang Zhao has lost her youthful appearance and become more outstanding. She is really a talented person. She is even more tempted to settle down the marriage. Now she is regarded as one of the few remaining elders of Yang Zhao, and the Yang family has raised Yang Zhao. Love, don't be afraid that Yang Zhao won't agree. Then he smiled and said: Look at you kid, why are you still seeing your aunt so much? Kexin has returned to the An family. When your adoptive father was still there, our two families also said that we would arrange a marriage. Now it's okay Now, you and Kexin are married, and our Yang family has a daughter.

Mrs. Yang, did you remember correctly? Yang Zhao was adopted by his adoptive father when he was nine years old. I don't remember any mention of a baby kiss. Yang Zhao's tone felt a little cold. This person is really shameless. He just avoided the Yang family when something happened. , and hurriedly married his daughter, fearing the influence of the Yang family, but now he has the nerve to mention it, not to mention that there is no such thing as a child, even if there is, it doesn't count, right?

Mrs. Yang was stunned again, and then she remembered that the person in front of her was no longer the fourteen-year-old boy she saw last time. She glanced at the surroundings and saw that many people had slowly gathered around to watch the fun. She thought of Yang Zhao. Friendship is the most important thing, so it's better to just suppress him. Then he said loudly: Yang Zhao, you are really heartless. You were an orphan back then. If the Yang family hadn't taken you in, you wouldn't have known where you would have died. Now that you have made a career and the Yang family has fallen, why? You just want to leave Cleared?

Her voice was not quiet, and after a while, comments slowly started to sound next to her.

A trace of anger appeared on Yang Zhao's face, but before he could say anything, Mrs. Yang said again: Have I, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion, wronged you? Didn't you rely on the Yang Mansion to be where you are today? you……

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a clearer voice.

Madam, is that what you said? We came from Heishui Pass, but we didn't hear that General Yang Zhao relied on the Yang Mansion to withstand hundreds of thousands of Liao troops? A man dressed like a ball The woman came out and said with a smile: We only heard that General Yang took over from his biological father to guard Heishui Pass at the age of fourteen. He started from a small school and experienced hundreds of battles. He led me, a good man from the Great Zhou Dynasty, to conquer the Great Zhou Dynasty. The fierce soldiers of Liao were stationed outside the pass. In the past few years, they were implicated by the Yang family and were exiled thousands of miles away. They almost lost their lives. Later, the emperor Mingjian recalled General Yang to Heishui Pass, and then the Liao was pushed back to outside the pass. He All the military exploits obtained are attributed to General Yang’s own bravery and the Holy Spirit’s wisdom, what? What does this have to do with the Yang family, or with you? Or, in other words, with your legitimate daughter who is widowed at home?

Her voice got louder, she penetrated further, and the surrounding discussions became more intense.

Mrs. Yang's expression changed. She only wanted to use morality to suppress Yang Zhao, but she forgot that everyone knew that what happened to the Yang family was an unjust case. However, the emperor did not reverse the case, so he was still guilty of treason.

Yes, General Yang is very brave, but General Yang also fought on his own. A man from Hebei Road agreed beside him.

Who are you? There is no place for you to speak here! The maid next to Mrs. Yang stepped forward and shouted.

Hey, is this Xiangguo Temple also the place of your Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion? Could it be that this world is not the emperor's, but that of your Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion? Yuanqiu covered his mouth and said in surprise.

These words were so poisonous that the expression of the other woman surrounded by the middle changed and she was about to speak out. The maid next to Mrs. Yang had already said angrily: What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just saying that our wife can't speak without you. It’s not for this untouchable to speak!”

Yo, the ball's voice rose. She was wearing a bulging cotton coat that tightly wrapped her body, and her face was mostly surrounded by a thick scarf. Only a pair of eyes were exposed. At this time, He narrowed his eyes and said: First of all, we in Dazhou value the equality of all living beings. Secondly, you are a pariah and you think everyone here is the same as you? Thirdly, this lady of yours robbed a good family in public. Man, how can anyone stop talking about such behavior?

The maid was ashamed and angry, and said: You are talking nonsense, there is a man robbed there! This is my house...

Isn't it a robbery? The ball interrupted her again and said: As soon as you came up, this lady wanted someone to marry her daughter, and you wanted to repay the favor. We don't say whether the favor was received or not. Even if it was, It’s not your wife’s favor. Did your wife give birth to General Yang, raise General Yang, save General Yang, or go to the battlefield for General Yang? She wants someone to marry her daughter? This wife is also a man of reputation. If you ruin someone's reputation like this and threaten them in the street, what else is that if it's not robbery?

There was laughter all around, and all kinds of shameless curses came and went.

Who are you? Leave your name. Another woman finally spoke up.

I am a woman from a good family in Dazhou. Why, you want to ask me to take revenge on that night? Is there any justice in this? Threatening in the street, doesn't Dazhou have any laws?! The ball jumped back, He hid behind a fat monk at the door and said.

The woman was about to speak, but was grabbed by a man who rushed up and said: Madam, let's go. Then she saluted Yang Zhao and said: General Yang, please forgive me!

Yang Zhaowei cupped his hands, his expression cold and silent.

The man called everyone to leave in a hurry. When he got to his carriage, he pulled his wife and said, Why are you fooling around with her? During the morning of the court today, the Holy Father had already approved Yang Zhao's marriage in court, and now Yang Zhao Zhao is not the one who was bullied by her in the Yang Mansion, isn't this causing trouble for yourself? For today's matter, just pretend that you have never been out with her. Otherwise, our Weiyuan Marquis Mansion will be in trouble.

After Ling Qingyu saw that the group of people at the door had completely left, she walked out from behind the fat monk. While replying to the people who greeted her and praised her, Ling Qingyu walked towards her carriage.

After getting on the carriage, not long after sitting, Yang Zhao also lifted the curtain and came up. Ling Qingyu snorted and said: You are really sweet, people will rob you wherever you go!

Yang Zhao sat next to her, hugged her and smiled: Fortunately, I have a lady to stand up for me.

Hmph, I also see her talking more and more outrageously, but if this happens again, I won't care. Ling Qingyu snorted and turned his head.

That's not possible. If you don't care, what will happen if your husband is eaten? Yang Zhao said with a rare smile, sweet in his heart.

How dare you! Ling Qingyu turned around to glare at him, but was blocked by Yang Zhao's lips.

There were a lot of people outside Xiangguo Temple, and the story about the Jingan Hou Mansion who tried to snatch General Yang as his son-in-law in broad daylight but was scolded by a disdainful woman spread like the wind.

When the news reached the palace, Wang Xiangzheng and his son Wang Fuzhi summoned several close officials to discuss today's affairs.

After hearing the news, Wang Fuzhi smiled and said: The lady of the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion has never been very public. I'm afraid this matter is not what the Marquis of Jingan meant.

Yang Zhao's attitude is interesting. It seems that he doesn't want to overturn the Yang family's case? an official said. The incident between the Yang family and the King of Chu was caused by the Wang family faction. It would not be a good thing for the Wang family if the case was overturned.

Humph, what kind of case can he solve? He hasn't suffered enough from last time? The emperor summoned him and Zhao Yinfeng back this time, and the reward he gave him was not even a fraction of Zhao Yinfeng's, and this time he asked him to disarm honestly. Yes, I guess you have learned well. Another official said.

Wang Xiang nodded. If the emperor's attitude today is indeed to unite the Zhao family and the Wang family, then Heishui Pass is not something to be afraid of. Moreover, Heishui Pass is quite far away from Bianjing. Even if it is mobilized, it will take some time. With the Zhao family army It won't become a climate now.

After sending Ling Qingyu back to the Ling family, Yang Zhao and He Li went to the official post to arrange their personal guards. The emperor had already summoned them, and they had to go to the Ministry of War to go through the relevant procedures for renewing their posts. They also had to visit some colleagues.

Han Ye was very thoughtful when he bought the courtyard. He also bought a small courtyard next to it in Yang Zhao's name. After cleaning it up, it became Yang Zhao's place to stay in Bianjing.

Yang Zhao kept a few personal guards, and gave the others money. They could go home and have a look, or they could play in Bianjing by themselves, but they were not allowed to cause trouble, and then he took the people back to the small courtyard.

The small courtyard only has two entrances and five houses, but it is enough to live in. The guards live outside, and Yang Zhao and He Li live inside. There is a secret door between Jin and Ling's house inside, and you can go through it directly.

After finishing, the two of them went from the secret door to Ling Qingyu's yard.

In addition to the main room, this main courtyard has an independent study room. The study room is very spacious. After dinner, Ling Qingyu asked Shisan to clean up and set up the card table.

What is the happiest thing about the Chinese New Year? That means you can play cards unscrupulously!

Ling Qingyu now feels tired after just two or three hours of physical activity. He was also a little tired from walking around Xiangguo Temple today, so he leaned on the soft couch and watched them play, giving Yang Zhao pointers from time to time. After each pointer, Yang Zhao would definitely lose.

She took off her cotton ball-like clothes and changed into a sky-blue robe. Her hair was only pulled back a little and tied with a butterfly-shaped hair ring. Her face was slightly flushed under the candlelight, giving her a unique charm.

But this style completely changed when she couldn't help but want to stay and grab a seat.

When Han Zong came in, he saw such a lively scene and said with a smile: The master is better off, the day after tomorrow is the plum blossom appreciation party in the garden, shall we be right?

Ling Qingyu returned to the soft couch and said, Okay.

The plum garden is very large. Han Zong has arranged more than a dozen warm pavilions along the lake and in the open space. They are all equipped with props for making tea and wine. There are also game places such as pot throwing, shooting, guessing and couplets. There are more games by the lake. There is a large fighting place and some scattered piano seats. Famous pianos are placed in the warm pavilion and can be played at will.

Ling Qingyu looked at it and said with a smile: It's so rich, that's enough.
