To The Land of Nevernight

Liao Kingdom, Shangjing Dading Mansion.

It coincided with the Liao Emperor's birthday, and there were lanterns and festoons everywhere in Beijing, and the common people celebrated the Liao Emperor's birthday together.The Liao people did not have so many etiquettes and rules. When the Liao Emperor celebrates his birthday, he will drive from the east gate to the west gate, and give the people ten thousand cups of wine, making it a "joy with the people".So the Liao people were very happy to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Liao, and they all went to the streets to watch the emperor's imperial chariot.

However, it is said that it is the imperial chariot of the emperor, but the person sitting in the chariot may not be the emperor of the Liao Kingdom.Last year on Liao Emperor's birthday, the second prince Yelushege replaced Liao Emperor and served ten thousand glasses of wine; Smiling, he said to the guarding general beside him: "Just drink it, and you won't return if you don't get drunk!"

Ten thousand cups of wine traveled mightily for three hours in the capital before it finally came to an end.

The third prince Yeluhan took the Wanmin wine presented by the people and sent it to Emperor Liao: "Father, this is the respect of the people of the world for you!"

Emperor Liao laughed and drank the altar of Wanmin wine in one gulp.

Since then, the birthday banquet of Emperor Liao finally began.

The third prince, Yeluhan, is now a big celebrity in the court of the Liao Kingdom, and the prince and grand teacher, Yeluding, is his teacher.Although Taibao Yeluding was imprisoned last year for assassinating Yeluqin, the faction of the Three Princes is still the most powerful, and only one Yelvding is enough to stabilize the overall situation.

The second prince, Yelushege, was sitting at the banquet, drinking from the jug like other Liao officials.He frowned and put the jar of wine aside, Yeluqin leaned over and asked, "Your Highness doesn't like this jar of roasted leaf wine? Your Majesty, please change it for you."

Brother Yelushe: "No need."

What he didn't like was not the jar of wine, but the way all Liao people drank heavily and tore their flesh with bare hands at the birthday banquet.

Even if he was as honorable as Emperor Liao, he held up the wine jar and poured it directly to his mouth, staining the whole skirt of his clothes with wine.

Three months ago, Brother Yelushe hurriedly left the capital of Song Dynasty and returned to Xijin Mansion in Nanjing.Sure enough, as he expected, on the second day after he came back, people from the prince Taishi Yelvding came from Shangjing.On the surface, it was said that the grand master had something to discuss with him, but in fact it was to test whether he was still in Xijin Mansion.

Brother Yelushe came back in time and resolved a crisis.

After personally going to the Great Song Dynasty, Brother Yelushe suddenly felt that the court of the Song people was actually far less dangerous than their Liao Kingdom.Song people were tactful, Song Emperor was cowardly, and Kaiping Emperor had been seriously ill for many days, so I am afraid that time is running out.And what about their Liao Kingdom?

Emperor Liao fought on the battlefield in his early years, and he suffered from injuries all over his body, and his body was not healthy.But the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, and the Liao emperor killed it fiercely. He didn't need to understand the twists and turns of the officialdom. No one in the Liao country dared to offend the majesty of the emperor, not even the prince Taishi Yelvding.

The Liao emperor is like a sleeping tiger, and the prince Taishi is like a poisonous snake coiled on its branches.

The two stand opposite each other, but there is no inevitable conflict of interest.If I had to say it, it would be that the grand master supported the third prince Yeluhan and wanted to make him the crown prince; although the Liao Emperor didn't say anything, he paid more attention to brother Yelushe, and loved the second son of an ordinary background.

"Brother She, follow me to go hunting in Nanshan next month, let me see if your riding and shooting are rusty!"

Brother Yelushe came back to his senses, stood up and hit his chest with his fist, and saluted: "My son will definitely shoot down the eagle, and this will be a late congratulatory gift to my father."

Emperor Liao laughed heartily.

In late February, spring has already entered, and most of the territory of Song Dynasty has the breath of spring.Tang Shen sat in a carriage, heading north and west alone.Originally, the weather should get hotter as the days passed, but the further north we went, the colder the weather became.On the eighth day, the carriage finally drove wobbly to ten miles away from Youzhou City.

The heavy snow of goose feathers drifted down from the sky, covering the ground covered with silver.

Tang Shen was sitting in the carriage, holding a stove and flipping through a collection of poems.At this time, the official who drove the car said: "My lord, there seems to be someone waiting ahead."

Tang Shen lifted the curtain of the car, only to see several people standing outside a small pavilion one kilometer away.

Youzhou is not like other cities in the Song Dynasty. There are not many people traveling to and from Youzhou. If someone is waiting ten miles away from the suburbs, it is likely that they are waiting for you.Tang Shendao: "Perhaps the Youzhou officials know that I'm coming, so they'll wait for me over there. When you get to the pavilion, just pull over and stop."

"Yes."

Tang Shen put the collection of poems into the drawer in the carriage, straightened his robes, and got out of the carriage.After getting out of the car, the cold wind pierced his face, Tang Shen shivered from the cold, he raised his head to look at the few people waiting outside the pavilion, and saw Youzhou Governor Ji Zhaosi at a glance.

However, Tang Shen looked directly past him, and looked at the person standing behind Ji Zhaosi.

His heart trembled violently, Tang Shen looked at Wang Qin steadfastly, for a long time, he said: "Your Majesty Tang Shen, I have seen Zuo Servant shoot Your Excellency."

Wang Qin was wearing a snow-white fox fur cloak, and he looked at Tang Shen clearly.With one look, the two understood each other's meaning.Wang Qin raised his hand slowly: "There's no need to be too polite... cough cough."

Tang Shen immediately said: "Senior brother is sick?"

Now he was so anxious that he forgot to call the lord, and called the senior brother directly.

Wang Qin coughed for a while, and Qin Si on the side explained: "Your Excellency stayed up late a few days ago to deal with errands, and caught a cold for a while. It was an illness that I got yesterday. It's not a serious illness, but it's violent, so it looks a bit serious."

Tang Shen heaved a sigh of relief.

Everyone returned to Youzhou City together.

Because Wang Zifeng was ill, Ji Zhaosi originally wanted to entertain Tang Shen, but now he had to give up, so that Wang Qin could go back to rest earlier.Tang Shen supported Wang Qin and brought him to the mansion where the two stayed in Youzhou.This was specially prepared by Youzhou Prefecture Yin Ji Zhaosi. The Yinyin Division was established in Youzhou. How could the immediate boss of the Yinyin Division not have a resting place in Youzhou.

Ji Zhaosi took Tang Shen and Wang Qin to that mansion in a carriage, he said: "Master Tang doesn't have a mansion in Youzhou, your lord is smart, and I'm not ready yet. After a few days, it will be ready. "

Tang Shen said as a matter of course: "No need, I don't come to Youzhou often, it's fine to live with Lord Wang."

Ji Zhaosi didn't think much about it: "Yes."

Tang Shen supported Wang Qin and entered the mansion.The wide sleeves blocked the hands of the two, Wang Zifeng held Tang Shen's hand tightly, and the two fingers intertwined.Tang Shen froze for a moment, before he could react, Wang Zifeng's head rested on his shoulder.

Lord Wang shouted softly: "Jing Ze..."

Tang Shen: "...?"

"Jing Ze..."

"I am here."

"I'm dying."

"……what?!"

Mr. Wang said: "You and I are not married yet. If I go first, you will not be able to share any of my inheritance. My inheritance is really quite a lot. There are three houses in Shengjing, Shengjing, Beizhili, and South. There are shops on three streets in Zhili. In fact, your hometown Gusu Mansion actually has a dyeing workshop, a cloth shop there, and Jinling, which is the headquarters of the Wang family. Most of my property is there..."

Tang Shen was dumbfounded when he heard this: "As the secretary of the household department, you are so greedy for ink!"

Wang Qin: "Greedy ink? How can you think of me like that. Half of these are your mother-in-law's dowry... Cough cough, how can you beat me, I'm sick."

"Then speak up!"

Wang Qin laughed, leaning his whole body on Tang Shen's body, and said, "My mother has only one son, so her dowry is naturally mine, and it will be yours in the future. You haven't finished listening to me, Jinling Mansion, does Qinhuai River know about it?"

Tang Shen said in horror: "Don't say that the Qinhuai River is also your property!"

Wang Qin laughed suddenly: "The Qinhuai River is the territory of my Song Dynasty, how can it be mine alone. It's just that there are two most profitable restaurants beside the Qinhuai River, and they belong to me."

"The singer is also yours?"

Wang Qin said cheerfully, "Will you be angry if I say that there are indeed several painting boats?"

"Not angry."

"Well, there are indeed several... Hey, little brother!"

Tang Shen pushed the person away and strode into the room.

Wang Qin immediately chased after him, he was very wronged: "You said it, don't be angry."

Tang Shen looked at him up and down: "Of course I'm not angry. What's there to be angry about? It doesn't matter how many boats you have. Do you like women?"

Wang Qin hugged him, laughed and said, "I will be sad if you say that about me."

Tang Shen said in his heart: I see that you are obviously very happy now, and you mistakenly thought that I was jealous!

In fact, Tang Shen was really not jealous. If Wang Zifeng could casually fall in love with a few singers, how could he not find a date until he was 29 years old?He was just amazed, the big dog, really is the big dog!He worked hard to earn money, from Tang's Logistics to Xixia Building, until he opened Zhenbao Pavilion, Tang Shen dared to say that he was rich and powerful.Who would have thought that the real rich second generation of the family would be so rich just from their mother's dowry!

Tang Shen was silent for a moment: "I gave you [-]% of the Zhenbao Pavilion."

Wang Qin sincerely said with emotion: "Jing Ze can really make money. A small treasure pavilion, calculated as a year's bonus, is no less than the sum of all my shops."

Tang Shen was just about to say, "You are so rich, why not return the shares to me", but in the end, someone gave a rainbow fart, and he was stunned for a long while, not ashamed to say it.

Wang Qin: "Then let's get back to the topic. Jing Ze, I'm dying soon." After speaking, he leaned on Tang Shen's shoulder again, "If I leave, none of my property will belong to you. How can that work... I remember you have a cousin."

Tang Shen: "? I only have one younger sister."

"It's not Don Juan, it's your cousin from the Gusu Mansion."

"You mean Tang Yun, that's my cousin. I don't have any cousins. My mother is the only daughter in the family."

Wang Qin frowned, but he continued immediately: "That's probably the same. According to the family rules, if I leave, you should go to him and ask him to give all my property to Langya Wang for you. I want to come back. In this case, I have to tell my cousin that you and I are close lovers... Cough cough."

Tang Shen pushed the person away again: "Aren't you sick!"

Wang Qin: "Yes, I am ill, very seriously ill."

Tang Shen: "..."

I can see that you are not sick at all because of your calculating appearance!

"You know why I'm sick."

"Qin Si said, you stayed up all night to handle errands?"

Wang Qin hugged Tang Shen lightly, he wanted to kiss him, but he remembered that he was sick, and he was afraid that Tang Shen would be angry with the contagious disease, so he gave up.He laughed in a low voice, his voice was gentle and clear, and slightly hoarse: "You are coming, so you can handle your errands more, so that when you come, I can spend more time with you. We haven't seen each other for three months. I really want to kiss you."

Tang Shen looked up at him, he opened his mouth slightly: "Senior brother..."

Wang Qin: "I'm afraid it will make you sick too, so I can just forget it."

Tang Shen was even more moved.

It's rare for Mr. Wang to be a second person, how can he only touch himself?This kind of loss-making business will never exist.

Holding his junior brother in his arms, Mr. Wang deeply felt that he was really an honest gentleman whom he hadn't seen in a hundred years and was hard to find in a thousand years.
