Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 134

In the brightly lit Ninghe Hall of Yanfu Palace, Zhao Ji and Empress Zheng are sitting on high couches.

Empress Zheng was not Zhao Ji's original partner. She entered the palace when she was young. She was smart and beautiful, and she became the queen mother's attendant.When Zhao Ji was still King Duan, she was given to Zhao Ji by the Queen Mother Xiang, who was named a noble concubine. The queen died of illness in the second year of Daguan, and finally became a daughter-in-law.

However, she is well-educated and cautious. Except for her brother Zheng Juzhong, no one in the Zheng family interferes in the government affairs.

The two were chatting and joking, Liang Shicheng quickly stepped in to fight, and said softly, "Official."

Zhao Ji stopped talking, and asked with a smile: "Yang Jian just sent up the memorial, the waters on the Liangshan side are owned by Xicheng, can there be a good way to make good land?"

Liang Shicheng was not stumped, and said in a low voice: "The officials will dig another [-]-mile water pool at the side, and just put the water in there."

"You! You are always opportunistic." Zhao Heng chuckled. The Shuibo property is owned by the royal family, and it brings him huge profits every year. How could he be unhappy.

"Officials, Imperial City Secretary Wang Xiu went to Fanlou to have a drink together with Da Lang from the Cai family and the eldest son from the Shen family."

Zhao Ji frowned, coughed to cover up his embarrassment, and said with a smile, "These young Jinshi!"

How could Liang Shicheng not know Zhao Ji's temperament, the romantic Taoist emperor!It's no big deal about the elegance of Xinke Scholars, but he still said strangely: "Wang Xiu is really too, don't write his statement properly, go."

"Hey." Zhao Ji didn't go to Liang Shicheng to 'complain', and said with a smile: "Young people don't have to be too demanding."

"It's still the official You Rong, and now the scholars are imitating the free and easy of the official." Liang Shicheng flattered Zhao Ji lukewarmly.

Zhao Ji was overjoyed, accepted it with a blunt smile, and turned to Empress Zheng and said: "Saint, I just talked about the marriage of the fourth sister, and now I am a little embarrassed. The fifth brother of the Cai family and the fourth sister are a good match. Wang Xiu It’s not bad, it’s really hard to choose.”

Empress Zheng was indifferent by nature, and said with a smile: "The fourth sister is the most outstanding sister, and she must not marry easily, and the officials should carefully consider it."

Zhao Heng nodded. He really cared about Zhao Fujin. As the daughter of Concubine Liu, Zhao Fujin and her mother were carved out of the same mold. He regarded a fairy-like figure as a treasure in his palm and carefully selected noble talents.

Cai Jing was the elder of the four dynasties, and it would be best for the important officials he relied on to tie the Cai family to the Zhao family's boat. He agreed with Cai You's proposal to open up the passage between Yanfu Palace and the three houses of the Cai family, and he was wooing the Cai family's power.

Cai Tao is the most talented of the second generation of the Cai family, but unfortunately, he has already had family affairs. The fifth son, Cai Kuang, has come into his eyes. He is young, handsome and personable, and has a good literary talent, which makes him the most attractive son-in-law.

However, the sudden appearance of Wang Xiu made him hesitate again. The talent shown by this young man, whether in academics or economics, made him very satisfied. If it can solve financial problems, he is definitely more suitable for Zhao Fujin than Cai Kuang.

On the one hand, there is the Cai family with entangled forces, and on the other hand, the rising star Wang Xiu, which really makes it difficult for him to choose.

"Have you got the fourth sister's poems yet?" Zhao Ji seemed to inadvertently ask.

Liang Shicheng's heart skipped a beat, and he said cautiously: "Wang Xiu was either dragged out for a drink, or stayed at his residence to entertain. There was an endless stream of Kaifeng scholars who came to visit, how can he have that kind of skill?"

"These two sisters are too presumptuous. They stop Wang Xiu from asking for poems and signatures. They are kings of the mountain." Empress Zheng smiled softly.

"Wang Xiu can talk and laugh freely in front of me, but she is embarrassed by the fourth sister. It's funny to think about it." Zhao Heng laughed comfortably.

Liang Shicheng smiled apologetically, but his smile was very forced, obviously worried.

"Okay, let the saint rest first, there are still some things to do."

Not to mention that the palace was playing a role in the show, several friends upstairs in Fan had a drink, Fan Zongyin and Cai Yi took turns splashing ink, Wang Xiu couldn't refuse, so he had to write a five-character quatrain to cope with the errand.

A group of people came outside, led by Shen Xiao and Zhang Qiyuan. If Wang Xiu was here, Wang Ang would definitely be seen.

"Aunt Li, why is the business so good today, and there is no room in the back building?" Shen Xian was careless, with a rich and powerful appearance.

Mrs. Li was sulking in the yard, scolding the two erroneous little servants, and saw that it was the fourth child who came, this is a big money owner who is stupid!Hastily raised his trademark smiling face to greet him, slapped Shen Xiao with a shamrock, and said winkingly, "Siguan Shen hasn't been here for a long time, I want to spoil my old lady."

Both Zhang Qiyuan and Wang Ang fought coldly, this woman is really aggressive, isn't this taking advantage of Fourth Young Master Shen?Everyone understands that an old cow eats young grass, but it is a bit chilly to feed a calf with old grass.

Shen Xiao also took a step back, forced a smile and said: "You mother-in-law can make a fuss when you come up, it's fine if Li Xingshou is down, hurry up and make a VIP room for me."

"I'm sorry, Siguan. The backyard is full of three rooms. How about going to the front building?" Mrs. Li was in a dilemma. The most luxurious independent small courtyard, entertaining guests who can pay the lowest price, this is not far from Li Shishi's residence!The price is expensive, but it is worth it to see the Zuixinglou where the beautiful woman lives. There are really many people who are taken advantage of.

"Feiyun Pavilion has the best location. Madam, let's see who it is. Invite them to the front for a drink. I'll cover all the expenses." Although Shen Xian is a dude, he is not a fool. The current position of the ancestor and the head of the family.

No, through Zhang Qiyuan and Feng Qian, they climbed to the No. [-] Lang Wang Ang, and they came to Fanlou for a drink together.How proud and arrogant Wang Ang is, how can he mix with Shen Xiao, who is Jinshi and the face of the tenth Zhang Qiyuan, so he reluctantly came over.

As for Feng Qian, who was sneaking away that day, a slick character, he made Shen Xia happy with just a few words, and the relationship heated up a lot, taking the opportunity to cheat food and drink.

"I still don't want the four officials." Mrs. Li rolled her eyes and asked the people from Feiyun Pavilion to move away.
"Tonight I'm hosting a banquet for the number one scholar. Why, it's not enough for the guests to move?" Seeing Mrs. Li's hesitation, Shen Xian felt very unhappy. He invited Zhang Qiyuan to invite Wang Ang because he was trying to say something, and he wouldn't even be able to enter the pavilion. If you go, you will lose your face.

Wang Ang and Zhang Qiyuan are sensible people. Seeing Mrs. Li's embarrassment, they vaguely understand that Feiyun Pavilion is either rich or expensive, at least they are not afraid of the Shen family, and they are not something they can provoke, so they are a little hesitant.

Zhang Qiyuan said with a smile: "I don't know who is drinking in there, let me figure it out, fourth brother, let's change to another one."

Just when Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, Shen Qiao frowned, and said proudly: "No, brother Shu Xing is the number one scholar, how could he be rejected."

There is some truth in what he said. The two disciples of the Emperor of Jia Division were during the Jinshi celebration. Not to mention anything else, even the prime minister had to give these disciples of the Emperor some kind of favor. It was so embarrassing.

Wang Ang was a bit reconciled, he was also the number one scholar after all, what a sight to parade through the street outside Donghua Gate, if he left in such a despondent way, people would laugh at him if it was spread out.I didn't see that he was surrounded by the hot eyes of the wine girls as soon as he entered Fanlou, which made him feel the satisfaction he had never had before in extreme embarrassment.

Zhang Qiyuan didn't think so, he was a Jinshi, but he was not a tribute from Taixue Sanshe. It can be said that he had no foundation in Kaifeng.He Gui did not win the first prize, but he is a student of the imperial court and has a certain foundation in Kaifeng for many years. Although he was only granted a Jinshi background, few people laughed at him openly.

Zhu Song lost all face in Jinmingchi, and he was so ashamed that he didn't want to see anyone. Few people could laugh at him face to face, because he was also a student of Tai Tai, and he also had a strong background in scholasticism.

He quietly watched the changes without saying a word, and he didn't get into trouble and didn't leave rashly.

"Forgive me, the four officials, Feiyun Pavilion has been reserved by several Jinshi since yesterday. They are drinking and having fun. I'm afraid to go in at this time."

When Shen Qiao heard this, he immediately became more courageous, aren't they just a few Scholars!On his side, there were two Jinshi and the first degree, and they smiled coldly: "Don't tell me, I'm going to order Feiyun Pavilion today. Aunt Li, I, Shen Qiao, can be regarded as a famous person in Kaifeng, just like this. A few Jinshi from other places scared away, can they still walk in Kaifeng City in the future?"

Mrs. Li didn't have any good intentions. She hated Shen Shu's arrogance. Since Shen Mo and Cai Yi were in it, there wouldn't be any big troubles. Let the boy lose face.

With dirty thoughts, a face with heavy make-up smiled like a ghost, and said softly: "Oh, I said four officials! This small shop, old lady, can't stand your toss, it's better to change the place."

"Why, Madam thinks I have little money?" Shen Qiao finally gained confidence in front of Wang Ang, and said arrogantly with his head up: "I'm going to see where the Jinshi came from, and I don't think about auspicious days to eat." Wine." As he spoke, he quickly walked towards Feiyun Pavilion, with a valiant look.

Mrs. Li pretended to pull him, but she couldn't hold him, even if she could, she sneered in her heart and said, "Crazy guy, you look good."

Although Wang Ang was dissatisfied with Shen Ya's arrogance, he couldn't lose face, and said with a smile on the side: "Fourth brother is really young Meng Lang!"

"The number one scholar, please!" Mrs. Li said with a smile on her face.

However, Zhang Qiyuan keenly noticed that Mrs. Li's smile was very strange, as if she was a little gloating, his heart tightened, and he felt very uneasy.

Shen Xia over there had already kicked the door open, kicked open the long window of Feiyun Pavilion, and people also barged in.
