The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

The First Champion Chapter 244

After finishing speaking, Zhao Ji suddenly chuckled and said: "I heard from the queen that Yang Aiqing has been hired by the Zheng family, and she can marry the daughter of the Zheng family next year. Is there such a thing?"

"Thanks to His Majesty's inquiry, Weichen's father has found someone to read his horoscope, and he is a perfect match. We will get married next year."

Zhao Ji laughed loudly and said happily: "In this way, don't we become brother-in-law?"

Yang Lin said with a smile: "I don't dare to climb up to the emperor's relatives."

Zhao Ji shook his head and said: "If it is calculated according to the rules of the people, we will be relatives immediately, come, come, the queen invites you."

He was ruddy and beaming, and seemed to think the matter was very amusing.

After a while, a group of maids surrounded Zheng and came to the hall, Yang Lin and Yang Jian hurriedly stood up to pay respects.

Zhao Ji pointed to Yang Lin and said, "Queen, Yang Aiqing will soon be the son-in-law of your Zheng family. The year is approaching, hasn't he sent you some kindness?"

Empress Zheng gave him a sideways glance, with all kinds of flair, but immediately returned to normal, and said with a light smile: "Thanks to His Majesty making the decision, otherwise the courtiers and concubines would not have complained. Future brother-in-law, what do you think?"

Yang Lin cursed inwardly, before I got married, the couple joined hands to extort money

Fortunately, he came to give gifts today, and said with a smile: "Is this a rude person? Your Majesty, empress, please wait a moment, I will be back soon."

He turned around and went out, said hello, and the small servants of the police department immediately carried a few boxes and entered the hall.

The first six people, one of them holding a wooden tray, came in and walked around, Yang Lin said: "This is the six trays of East Sea pearls."

Immediately after, a group of people filed in, each of them holding a precious hat, and Yang Lin introduced them one by one: "This is a phoenix crown coiled with pearls, a comb ring with flowers in the north pearl crown, a comb ring with flowers in the seven treasures crown, and a brocade pin. The golden curtain."

"These boxes are gifts for my sister and brother-in-law. The official family is rich and romantic, and the cost is better than that of the minister. There is nothing to give. There are only five golden pheasants, eight horses, ten stags, and 10 pieces of pure silver. Ten thousand taels, twenty thousand units of pure gold."

Zhao Ji was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Is there even a share in me?"

Yang Lin called out her brother-in-law, startled Yang Jian and Empress Zheng, and looked at the official's house, but saw him smiling, obviously not angry.

He himself likes to talk about relatives with others when he has nothing to do. In the history of later generations, Cai Tao married Emperor Maode's concubine, and Zhao Ji was commensurate with Cai Jing's in-laws, and often went to visit.

After delivering the gifts, Yang Lin and Yang Jian walked out of the hall side by side. A gust of cold wind blew in. Yang Lin tightened his cloak and said with a smile, "Brother, your body is strong enough, and you wear less clothes than me."

Yang Jian scolded with a smile: "You just make fun of our family, our family is old, how can we compare with you youngsters."

A few servants by the side of the road bent their waists and buried their heads in shoveling the snow. Yang Lin lowered his voice and said, "Brother, the Khitans are fighting hard, and it is said that the imperial conquest will take place in the next year. This has not yet been fought, and everyone in the world knows about it. I’m afraid that the Jurchens won’t be on guard. In my opinion, this time the Khitan is hanging up again. We have to plan early, if the Khitan falls, we can’t let Liang Shicheng take the credit for recovering You Yan.”

Yang Jian was puzzled, the servants around were all from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Yang Lin was always very cautious, why did he make this mistake.

Looking closely at Yang Lin again, his expression was as usual, he gently tugged on Yang Lin's sleeve, but the latter also did not respond.

Yang Jian suddenly understood, rolled his eyes, pouted his lips and said, "Brother Yang, don't be a fool, don't talk about court affairs in the palace, we can stay in the hall and talk about it."

Only now did Yang Lin look annoyed, and walked out of the palace with a gloomy face without saying a word.

The little servants who were shoveling the snow raised their heads with excitement on their faces. The credit this time can be regarded as falling from the sky.

On the carriage, Yang Jian said with a smile: "You leaked this news in the palace just now, how do you want to plot our hidden appearance?"

Yang Lin sighed, and said: "In the spring we are going to fight Tubo, Jurchen and Khitan will also have a fierce battle, I am afraid that Liang Shicheng will forget about the Northern Expedition, let him shine brightly and help me gather my supplies, so that I can use my hand when I attack Yan in the future Nah."

Yang Jian shook his head and said, "You're thinking too much. When Liang Shicheng was dealing with him, he had already made a fortune. You didn't see his methods when the Ministry of Internal Affairs fought for power. How could such a person pave the way for us?"

Chapter 2 Ninety Envoys from the Jin and Liao Dynasties Gather in Bianliang

Mizhou, Xujiazhuang.

Lu Wang from the Long Live Camp personally sent the news that a group of Jurchens would come by boat from Koryo.

Although the sea is not frozen now, the port has been closed and will reopen in the spring of next year.

Xu Jin took Yang Lin's secret letter, and after reading it, he said with a smile, "Reassure Shao Zai after you go back, Xu can still help Shao Zai worry about these small things."

Lu Wang nodded, and just about to say some polite words, a tall and handsome figure outside came in with a baby in his arms, followed by a little white dog.

Lu Wang saw that although the visitor was a young girl, she was about the same size as himself. She was wearing a white silk jacket, a burgundy pleated skirt, and deerskin tiger-head boots. Know how to be extraordinary.

As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was crisp and clear, "Father, take your son away quickly, he is not obedient at all, he only knows how to cry, and he can't stop slapping him."

Xu Jin's complexion changed, and he stretched out his hand to take his son over like a baby, and said with a bluff, "Is the child slapped again to coax you? Your brother is sleeping in the house. If you provoke him, you can do whatever you want with him." It's like letting you hug me."

Although he felt distressed, he didn't know how to hold the child, so he hurriedly handed it over to the nanny behind him.

Seeing someone in the room, Xu Yuenu thought it was a guest, but hesitated for a moment when she was about to leave. Looking back, she saw that he was handsome and tall, with a hint of aggressiveness in his brows. guard.

Xu Yuenu looked happy, gently rolled her temples, and asked, "Brother Lu, why are you here?"

Lu Wang hurriedly laughed and said: "A certain was ordered by the young master to bring the girl to Beijing. On the day of the big wedding this spring, I will marry the girl as an equal wife."

As one of Yang Lin's guardians, Lu Wang is almost inseparable on weekdays, so of course it would not be as simple as sending him a message.

He was about to marry Zheng Yunyao as his wife, of course Yang Lin hadn't forgotten Xu Yuenu from Mizhou in his heart, this little girl couldn't beat her if she wasn't given a title.

Xu Yuenu's heart was sweet, but she wrinkled her nose and said, "Who cares?"

Xu Jin hurriedly said: "Marry, marry, marry quickly, this family can no longer accommodate you. Your father and I have lived for so many years, and I have never seen a girl who takes pleasure in bullying my brother."

Xu Jin, who forgot about his daughter after having a son, aroused strong dissatisfaction from Xu Jiazhuang's hegemony. He pinched his waist and said, "My surname is Xu, let me tell you, my dowry must be compared with that of my regular wife."

Xu Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he used to have such a daughter, spoiled to the point of spoiling, and only Xu Yuenu was born to his wife, he said with a wry smile, "Don't worry about this, father doesn't have anything, and there is no shortage of money."

Lu Wang was watching the excitement from the sidelines, secretly envious in his heart, this Xujiazhuang was originally a sneaky maritime merchant, rich as hell, after being subdued by the young master, he simply took advantage of it

As far as Taishi Zheng's little family wealth is concerned, it is estimated that selling the house is not as rich as Xu Jin's dowry.

Xu Yuenu couldn't hide her smiling face anymore, and went back to her yard full of joy, ready to pack up and leave.

The Jurchen decided to be in Ning, Jianyuan "recovered the country", and Wanyan Aguda became the emperor of the Jin Dynasty.

As the New Year's Day approached, the Jin people sent envoys to the Song Dynasty, pretending to be the Khitan's replacement.

The missions of the Jin Dynasty took a boat, passed through Koryo, and came to Mizhou Port, where they officially set foot on the land of the Song Dynasty.

They had just merged with the Bohai Kingdom, and the Jin people had a certain degree of navigation ability, and they had already begun to send merchant ships to trade with the Japanese and Koreans.

In front of Mizhou Port, Xu Jin welcomed them into the port, and after a short stay, he sent people to send them to Bianliang.

The Jurchens had seen the prosperity of the Huanglong Mansion, which was dozens of times richer than the Jurchen Tribes. Only now did they come to Middle-earth to know that there is such a place in the world.

Arriving in Mizhou Mansion, Wanyan Wu Qimai stretched out his hand and said, "In the middle of winter, it's not even cold here at all."

Yang Pu, a member of the mission from Bohai, who has been to the Central Plains several times, said with a smile, "This year is already the coldest year. In a few days, it will be spring. It will not be cold at all then."

"There is still such a good place in the world. Why do we Jurchens have to make a living in the ice and snow? God is not fair."
