Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 49 If you can't do it, we'll go.

There is a wall of wisteria in the courtyard, and the fragrance of the flowers is still there.

Yang Yuan didn't bother to be polite and just sat down on the wooden stool.

Dan Niang walked to the opposite side of him, put the duster on the stool beside her, glanced at Yang Yuan, and said with a faint face: "I am a woman, and the servants are usually not afraid of me. I was a little presumptuous, and there were some rumors. Please don't be offended, sir."

Yang Yuan said, "It doesn't matter! Who doesn't talk behind others' backs? Let them talk all they want, it won't hurt me."

Dan Niang said shyly, "I'm afraid they will go too far and spread some more outrageous rumors, which will inevitably pollute the ears of the great official."

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "Who told you to be so beautiful, Dan Niang? If I were an ugly woman, no one would gossip about me even if I stayed in your shop."

"Sir, when you say that, it's my fault. But isn't it your fault that you are young, handsome, and talented?"

Yang Yuan said, "You can't blame me for this. Even if I were an eighty-year-old man who staggered when walking and had to crawl to get on the bed, as long as I was in contact with a beautiful woman like you, Dan Niang, there would still be gossip."

The two people's tactics were so witty that Dan Niang was confused again.

Is the senior official complimenting my beauty or making a subtle comment on my background as a “honey trap”?

I am really a virgin, but...how can I prove it to you?

While Dan Niang was feeling upset, Yang Yuan had already started talking about business.

"The Jin envoys will not stay in the Song Dynasty for too long. We must start implementing our plan as soon as possible."

Dan Niang collected her thoughts and asked, "Master, have you decided what to do?"

Yang Yuan said: "First, I want to create a grand occasion to make you famous.

I have a friend, Duck Brother, who is very good at swimming.

I thought I could ask him to help find a group of tide-riders to hold a tide-riding competition first, and lure Wanyan Quxing to come and watch.

You also have to show up at that time, and I will invite someone else to build momentum for you.

In this way, you can attract Wanyan Quxing's attention to you and lead him to pursue you..."

Dan Niang was originally engaged in a "beauty trap", and in this line of work one must avoid showing off.

Therefore, when I heard this, I was instinctively a little panicked and couldn't help asking, "Sir, when creating a chance encounter, isn't it easier for two people to fall in love the quieter the environment and the fewer people there are? Why do you have to be so ostentatious?"

Yang Yuan said: "Because, I want him to feel that this woman is out of his reach. The harder it is to get her, the more he will cherish her, right? The most important thing is..."

Yang Yuan hesitated for a moment and smiled, "I swore that I would not let you get hurt. Wanyan Quxing's family is not doing well in the Lu court now, and Zeiliang has been trying to cause trouble for them.

In this case, as long as you are famous enough and your hidden identity is noble enough, Wanyan Quxing will be even less likely to use force against you. Even if he is not afraid of angering our Song court, he will be worried about being used by Zeliang to make trouble. "

After hearing this, Dan Niang was deeply moved.

There is a type of woman who is very good at self-attack.

Are you talking about the kind that has no opinion, no vision, and is timid and cowardly?
No no no, quite the opposite.

This kind of woman is usually very confident. She has a clear awareness of her own abilities and values, and knows how to show and play to her strengths.

She knows how to manage her emotions, control her desires, and can proactively set her goals and plans to achieve the emotional values ​​she wants and vent her desires.

She has the gene of courage to try and enjoy taking risks.

The big shot in the gaming world, "Xue Yu Dan Niang", possesses just these qualities.

The first half of Yang Yuan's words went in one ear and out the other. All she could remember at this moment was this sentence:
"I swore that I would never let you get hurt."

So, Dan Niang felt dizzy and wanted to throw herself into Yang Yuan's arms and cry.

Boss Yang is still explaining his PPT to his No. 1 employee:

"This Wanyan Quxing likes beauty and is fond of culture, so we should cater to his tastes.

But Wanyan Quxing is not an ordinary person. If you want him to cherish you even more and want you even more, you need a special identity."

Dan Niang controlled her emotions and began to listen carefully to Yang Yuan's explanation.

Yang Yuan took such good care of her, and now she just wanted to work hard to help Yang Yuan complete this task and let him know that she was worth it!
Hearing this, Dan Niang couldn't help but ask curiously, "What identity does the master intend for me to play?"

"Descendants of the King of Jiangnan!"

Dan Niang was stunned.

Yang Yuan said: "The Jin people worship our Central Plains culture. In the eyes of the Jin people, Jiangnan Kingdom is a more authentic inheritor of Central Plains culture than our Song Dynasty."

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "I am Emperor Taizu of Song. I am famous for my Panlong Staff and Taizu Changquan. What about Emperor Li Houzhu?"

Li Houzhu was the master of poetry of his generation.

The Jin people, however, despised the martial arts of the Central Plains, but highly respected the culture of the Central Plains.

The Jiangnan Kingdom refers to the Southern Tang.

But Southern Tang is just the name given to it by later generations.

The people of Southern Tang called themselves the Great Tang, while the people of Song called Southern Tang Wu Tang or Jiangnan Kingdom.

Yang Yuan said: "Jiangnan Kingdom, Li Houzhu, the two Zhou empresses... these characters have great charm in the eyes of Wanyan Quxing who likes to show off his elegance.

If you have such a status, would Wanyan Quxing be a little bit infatuated when he sees you? Haha!"

Dan Niang said hesitantly: "But... as a descendant of Li Houzhu, can I do it..."

It's no wonder she was timid. Dan Niang certainly understood how much a noble enough identity would add to a woman's charm.

Dan Niang also played roles when she set up the "Beauty Game".

However, the most noble identity she had ever played was that of the daughter of a retired county magistrate.

Another time, she played the role of Mrs. Ru, the deputy envoy of the Salt and Iron Commissioner of a certain state.

Now that Yang Yuan has given her this new identity, she feels that she is a little overwhelmed.

Dan Niang said in embarrassment: "Sir, I am just a commoner girl. My speech, behavior, and family situation... Even if the descendants of Li Houzhu have fallen, I can't pretend to be so elegant.

The little prince of the Jin Kingdom is not an ordinary person, how could he possibly hide it from his eyes? "

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "It won't work just by relying on one's identity.

Don't worry, I have already considered these aspects.

You arrange a reliable person to help you hold the counter, and I will find a skilled female teacher to guide you as soon as possible."

Yang Yuan gave Dan Niang some detailed instructions again, then immediately stood up and said goodbye to take care of the relevant details.

As soon as Yang Yuan left, Qingtang slipped into the yard like a little mouse:
"Sister, sister, what's going on? Is Mr. Yang attracted to you?"

Dan Niang rolled her eyes at her in annoyance and said angrily, "Move, move, move, why are you moving? How can it be so fast!"

Qingtang pouted and said, "Why can't it be faster? In the past, you could take down any man you wanted to deal with in less than three days."

"How can it be the same? I want him to be my man, not a sucker. Can I just use some tricks to deal with him?"

Qingtang said disapprovingly: "Why can't we use some tricks?
Let him know that Master, you can handle the living room, the kitchen, and the bedroom...

I don't know how happy he will be. How could he look down on you? You are so fussy and coy."

Dan Niang was furious: "You eat lamp ash, and you fart so easily! If you can do it, come on."

Qingtang rolled up her sleeves unconvincedly: "I'll go ahead, just wait, next time I'll let you see what I can do."

Dan Niang picked up the feather duster and said, "Stinky girl, this is your original purpose, right?
You even dare to set your sights on your master's husband, you little bastard who betrays your master and ancestors."

Qingtang covered her butt, giggled, and ran back to the lobby.

Dan Niang threw the duster on the table, sat back on the stool, and supported her chin.

She sighed first, then, as if thinking of something, her eyes gradually became drunken and her cheeks became flushed...

……

Yang Yuan left "Shuiyunjian" and continued walking along the West Lake. After passing Taiyi Palace, he arrived at "Wanshou Temple".

Yang Che followed all the way here and couldn't hold back any longer.

He wanted to show up and question Yang Yuan, but after hesitating for a while, he stomped his feet and turned to go to "Moshanghua".

He didn't want to have a direct conflict with his brother. Ever since he found his brother, he hasn't said a harsh word to him.

As soon as Yang Che left, the two groups of people following them naturally separated.

Wanshou Temple is a place where the natal star god of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty is enshrined and it is an official Taoist temple.

Not only are there two eunuchs stationed here permanently, but there are also 150 servants responsible for the protection and cleaning of the palace.

There are only a dozen or so true monks here.

As soon as Yang Yuan entered the temple, it became much quieter. As he walked along, he only met a few officials and an old Taoist priest.

The left courtyard at the end of the palace was covered with thick vegetation. Stone drums, stone tablets, Han Dynasty tiles and Qin Dynasty bricks were placed in a disorderly manner in the courtyard...

Going around and entering, there is a house with extremely high ceilings, inside which are scattered bronze tripods, dew-collecting plates, pottery root carvings and so on...

There is a sword hanging in an inconspicuous place on the wall. Upon closer inspection, there are two small seal characters "Tai'a" on the hilt. It turned out to be the sword of Qin Shihuang.

Next to the sword was a calligraphy sticker with rich and gorgeous official script, which read "I have heard that the customs in ancient times were simple and frugal, although filial piety was already budding in one's heart..."

Looking closely, it turned out to be a copy of "Shitai Filial Piety Sutra" written by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty.

Yang Yuan had been here many times before to deliver "Suohuan", but he was too lazy to take a closer look.

He reached out and brushed away a long scarf hanging from the beam, then stepped on the back of a pottery horse and called out, "Master Xiao, is Master Xiao here? We have business coming to you!"

"Who is this guest... Oh, you are the second son of the Yang family. You are an idler, and I did not ask for your help today. What business do you have for me?"

A man came out of the inner room. He was about forty years old, with a thin face and wearing a faded blue robe.

Over his blue robe, he wore a light black skirt.

His fluffy hair was covered with clay dust and sawdust shavings, and his skirt was also covered with sawdust and dust.

A boy's head popped out from behind the door. It was Teacher Xiao's son.

The child from the Xiao family is about thirteen or fourteen years old. He follows his father here every day to learn the family's antique craft.

Master Xiao's name is Xiao Qianyue, and he is a craftsman who specializes in counterfeiting and aging antiques.

An old master is different from those who sell counterfeit goods. An old master will tell the customers clearly that he is imitating ancient works.

It is considered a skill if the old masters can imitate the works well. Even the royal family likes to ask the old masters to make imitations of antiques as palace decorations.

Xiao Qianyue made a fortune with her superb skills in imitating antiques.

Don't be fooled by his appearance at the moment, in fact, this is just a "workshop" he rented.

Master Xiao owns a large house with three entrances and three exits in the land-scarce city of Lin'an, and he has a wife and two concubines.

Xiao Qianyue saw what Yang Yuan was doing at this moment and immediately glared at him:
"Take your hand away, that is the bath towel used by Yang Guifei, don't dirty it.

Hey, don't step on my horse, that's the one Champion Hou rode when he was a kid."

Yang Yuan was startled and quickly moved his feet away from Huo Qubing's pottery horse and moved a little further away from Yang Yuhuan's bath towel.

Yang Yuan stood still in the narrow aisle, then said with a smile: "Master Xiao, I am an idle man, so I naturally don't have the capital to do business with you.

Today, I have been asked by someone to make some antiques for you."

"What do you want to do?"

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "My boss wants to ask Master Xiao to make her some items from the Jiangnan Palace. Can Master Xiao do it?"
