The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

Then look at the stupid and cute maid who can't stop gossiping about other people's embarrassing things in front of her, and she smiles beautifully when she is excited, there is no harm if there is no comparison.

It seems that I still have to find training by myself, but it is also beneficial to cultivate since childhood. Yang Lin learned the budget and final accounts by himself in the later company because of work, and the simple teaching is still very advanced in Song Dynasty.

In the early morning of the next day, the inner courtyard of Yang's mansion was very lively. Yang Lin called the maids in the courtyard and asked them to sit in the courtyard in a well-behaved manner.

These little maids don't live at leisure, they are very noisy, Yang Lin coughed lightly: "Be quiet, be quiet, here are some arithmetic problems, I will test you today, and whoever scores the most will be rewarded with ten taels of silver."

"Twelve taels of silver?"

"I fought for the young master."

"Come on, you still want silver. Can you count how many noses and eyes you have?"

"Hee hee, that's better than you."

A few simple arithmetic problems made a group of little maids scratch their ears and cheeks, and some of them had red eyes because they couldn't figure it out.

Yang Lin rubbed his forehead and sighed, these idiots have spent all their skill points on bickering, quarreling, and gossip since they were born, but all of them are quite competitive, sitting on the small bench and smashing the test questions and refuse to leave.

The unbearable Yang Lin drove away a group of unwilling girls, put away the papers and looked, only two people solved this not too difficult word problem.

Li Yunniang of Qingyin Pavilion, this is in Yang Lin's expectation, this young woman was also a celebrity with both talent and appearance when she was young, so naturally she would not be too stupid.

And the other one was Yang Tianai, who was pulled to make up the number of people. The crooked handwriting looked very immature and ridiculous, but his thoughts were expressed very clearly.Children can be taught, Yang Lin said with a smile, this is a surprise.

I have taken in five abandoned children. This Yang Tianai is the oldest, a girl who used to be a thief and doesn't know how to educate her. It seems that she is suitable to be a housekeeper.

Calling the two individuals to the study room alone, Yang Lin smiled and praised the two of them, Li Yunniang was very proud, Yang Tianai put her toes on the ground, twisted the corners of her skirt with both hands, secretly raised her eyes to look at Yang Lin, she was a little shy, Obviously not used to this feeling of standing out.

Yang Lin took out 20 taels of silver, one purse per person, and Li Yunniang blessed her happily, and said in a flattering voice, "Thank you Dalang for the reward."

When she bent down to salute, the two huge balls on her chest fluctuated up and down, which made Yang Lin feel distracted for a while.What kind of person Li Yunniang is, she has already seen his reaction in full view, and a hint of joy and self-satisfaction flashed in her charming eyes.

Yang Tianai held the money bag, very cramped, and stood timidly aside.

Yang Lin took a piece of paper, spread it out, drew a simple three-column form, and explained it to them.

The two "top students" were at a loss, especially Li Yunniang, who was used to calculating with her original thinking, especially the Arabic numerals, which are simply ghost-drawn symbols, which are generally difficult to understand.

On the contrary, the illiterate Yang Tian'ai, who had never learned Chinese characters before, accepted them quickly, and Yang Lin was even happier.

One of these two people is an orphan adopted by him, and the other is an unaccompanied woman who can only be attached to himself, and his loyalty can be completely trusted.

After teaching for a while, the two slowly got used to this novel algorithm, and began to study independently.Seeing that he had nothing to do with himself, Yang Lin thought of attending Cai Jing's party today, so he came to the inner courtyard alone.

Asking Jin'er to find a suit of clothes that fit well, Yang San got a carriage and a groom from the housekeeper, and then rushed to the party.

On the outskirts of Yangzhou, beside the Yangtze River, within a garden.

The flowers are full of flowers, and the distinguished guests are like weaving. In addition to the distinguished guests invited by Cai Jing's invitation card, there are many others who come here because of their fame, and they are piled outside and are not allowed to enter.

The three master and servant Yang Lin abandoned the carriage and squeezed through the crowd to the garden. The guard at the gate saw that it was Yang Lin who didn't even verify the invitation and invited him in with a smile.

In late autumn, when the vegetation in the courtyard was withered, a high platform was erected on an open space, covered with curtains to shade the sun, and several rows of seats were arranged, and several people had already sat there.

"Yang Jieyuan, the number one in the government examination, is here." Following the concierge's singing, Yang Lin brought Jin'er to the front desk. Cai Jing pinched his beard and said with a smile: "Our 'On Paper' is here."

Sitting next to Cai Jing was an old man about fifty years old, with a red face, wearing a purple satin robe with gold threads, a jasper ring in his hand, and a ruby ​​the size of a pigeon egg inlaid on his waist jade belt. , just revealing a tacky.Seeing Cai Jing's happy appearance, he said disdainfully, "It's just the son of a merchant, isn't Yuan Chang admiring him too much?"

After hearing this, a few people around laughed inappropriately, obviously the old man said something in their hearts that they didn't dare to say.

Cai Jing's face was not in danger, not because he defended Yang Lin so much, but because the old man didn't save any face for himself.If Yang Lin broke out upon hearing the words, there would inevitably be disharmonious factors in his resignation party, and it would be a lot of disappointment.

The old man's name was Xu Fangheng, and he was the patriarch of the Xu family, a prominent gentry in Yangzhou. Many of his sons were officials in Bianliang, and Xu Zhichang, the current Zuojiejie record, was his nephew.

Yang Lin pretended not to hear, clasped his fists as usual and said, "My husband, the students are late."

Cai Jing nodded secretly, not being surprised by favor or humiliation is the necessary temperament to make a big event, nodded and smiled: "It's not too late, the party hasn't started yet, come and arrange a seat for Wen Yuan."

Immediately, a servant from the Cai Mansion led him to a seat, neither in the front nor in the back, surrounded by Gongsheng students who were very close to Yang Lin.

Jin'er was full of resentment, her little mouth was pouting, she lowered her head and bit her ear and said, "Master, that old man is so annoying."

Yang Lin chuckled and said, "Don't talk too much."

Jin'er was still puffed up, and from time to time she used her eyes to goug that hideous old man.

Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and now there is no reason to lower one's status by conflicting with him, and give Cai Jing an embarrassment.It's better to liquidate together in the future

At the same time, in the room in the garden, a group of beauties and girls in the brothel are putting on makeup or resting.Song Dynasty is a romantic society, especially the gatherings of these upper class figures, singing and dancing prostitutes are indispensable.

Those who can come today are all famous women in Yangzhou or even the nearby state capitals. This place is full of dignitaries and dignitaries, and it is the best place to gain fame. Not to mention the scary high appearance fee, even if it is free, some people want it join.

With a chorus, the banquet was held like flowing water, and the atmosphere gradually heated up.

On the high platform in the garden, famous prostitutes from all over the south of the Yangtze River show their attractiveness, entertaining people with singing and dancing, and teaching people to point their eyes.

When Yang Lin saw the Gongsheng students around him, he had already begun to comment happily. The scholar Lin of the Song Dynasty was indeed a romantic place.

After a while, the beauties from various prefectures and the beautiful maids they brought came to the seats in the garden like butterflies, and accompanied these high-ranking officials and nobles. Beautiful and delicious, charming like spring.These people are very familiar with serving wine with guests, and their witty remarks are like pearls, which makes the atmosphere of the party more lively.

Yang Lin cleverly pushed away the beauties surrounding him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and calculated in his heart that it was almost time.

The protocol officer who took Yang Lin's money suddenly said loudly: "Miss Ning'er from Qingyin Pavilion is here."

The hustle and bustle in the garden suddenly fell silent, so many leaders came forward, why was this little-known Ning'er the only one named.

The curtain of the garden door was lifted, and a beautiful woman Shi Shiran came out. Everyone looked at her curiously, and saw her walking gracefully, her walking posture was unprecedented, revealing a dignified and elegant beauty .This was trained step by step by Yang Lin holding the cane, and it is often seen on flight attendants at airports in later generations.

Look at the beauty's delicate face, white teeth and vermilion lips, fragrant cheeks, although there are many beauties today, this face is enough to overwhelm the crowd.

Ning'er was so nervous, she knew that Yang Dalang was watching her in the crowd, and she was even more worried about disappointing Dalang. Fortunately, she was trained very thoroughly, and she walked forward step by step, came to Cai Jing, bowed her knees Jue said: "Your father is quite old, and he is favored by the officials. It is really a blessing for the people of the world to return to Bianliang. My slave Ning'er, I would like to respect you for a glass of water and wine, and talk about expressing the feelings of the elders in Yangzhou."

Cai Jing had a big heart, he laughed and said: "It turns out that it is Miss Ning'er, she really is beautiful and beautiful, this old man is about to leave Beijing to go to work, so I will use the girl's good words to drink this cup with you."

After drinking, Ning'er smiled sweetly and said: "It's rare for all the adults to gather together. My family has filled in a new song. I would like to sing it with you and the Lord. I hope you don't dislike it."

Before Cai Jing could speak, Xu Fangheng next to him smiled like a chrysanthemum with his old eyes, and rushed to talk: "Miss Ning'er is so beautiful, I didn't expect to have talent, hurry up and sing."

Chapter 21 24 Moonlight Night at the Bridge

Ning'er was too lazy in the past, relying on her good looks, she has always been very lazy.

Therefore, the skills in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all average, so I simply tapped the jade cup with bamboo chopsticks, and the voiceless singing, on the contrary, has a special flavor.

"Singing Cheyangguan, the tears are not dry, and the fame is more than enough to add food. Floating sky water sends infinite trees, and rain clouds bury half of the mountain.
