Monument Yangmen

Chapter 56: Famous Prime Minister Lu Duan?

The three of them walked to a sliding door in the middle of the second floor. On the sliding door was a copied portrait of Hongru, and it was also the only portrait on the second floor painted by ink painting.

In front of the door, there are two maids in cheongsams.

Both of them were rescued by Yang Yansi together with Rumeng Chuxing.

Seeing Yang Yansi, the two women naturally bowed and saluted, their eyes full of respect.

"They... seem to respect you?"

As a woman, Cao Lin's six senses are very keen. She felt that the two women and the shopkeeper Rumeng seemed to respect Yang Yansi from the bottom of her heart.

Yang Yansi secretly waved his hand, motioning for Rumeng's three daughters to go down first, and then explained to Cao Lin with a smile.

"Sister Cao, since ancient times, beautiful women have always loved talented people. How can I say that I, Yang Yansi, can be considered a talented person in Bianjing now, and it is normal to be respected by others."

Cao Lin always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't think of anything wrong with it.

"loquacious!"

Yang Yansi raised his head and glanced at the sliding door. There was a golden lacquered wooden sign on it, with a line of beautiful small characters written on it.

Xiaolou listened to the spring rain all night!

Cao Lin stepped forward first, pushed open the door, and the scene inside the door appeared in front of Yang Yansi.

In the compartment, there are women and men, sitting on both sides, as if they are writing propositional poems.

The women are gorgeously dressed and beautiful, and their age is similar to that of Cao Lin; the men are all dressed as scholars, and their ages vary from sixteen to seventeen, while the elder is about 45 years old.

Although the age and appearance of these people are very different, they all have a common characteristic. They have all attended lectures under the great Confucianism of Yuelu Academy.

The predecessor of Yuelu Academy was a school run by a monk. In the ninth year of Taizu Kaibao, Zhu Dong, the prefect of Tanzhou, founded Yuelu Academy on the basis of the school run by monks.

In just seven or eight years, Yuelu Academy has gained a pivotal position in the literary world of the Song Dynasty.

As soon as Cao Lin entered the door, she heard a gorgeously dressed, dignified and beautiful woman sitting in the middle laughing.

"Sister Lin'er, you invited us to be guests, but you, the host, came late."

Cao Lin saluted shallowly, "Sister Qingyu, you have wronged me. A few days ago, didn't you clamor to see Mr. Yang Qi, who is both excellent in chess and painting? Today, sister, I have tried my best. I've invited someone here for you."

"really?"

Hearing Cao Lin's words, everyone in the arena became excited.

The woman who was the leader, who was called Qingyu, had a smile on her face, "Where is he, please come in and we will meet."

Cao Lin turned her head and looked outside the door, "Come in! Do you really want my sister to invite you out?"

Yang Yansi Shi Shiran entered the room and saluted everyone.

"Yang Yansi has met all the sisters and senior brothers."

Qing Yu stood up, stared at Yang Yansi, and babbled, "He looks quite handsome, no wonder sister Lin'er hid it and refused to show it."

"Fuck you!" Cao Lin blushed slightly, and cursed, "Sister Qingyu, you wronged me again, she and Yang Yansi are just siblings..."

"It's just siblings... isn't it a lover?"

Yang Yansi could clearly feel that Cao Lin could not gain the upper hand when she was arguing with this Qingyu girl.

This girl speaks too boldly.

Yang Yansi had never seen a woman who talked about love so bluntly.

"My sister was joking, Yansi came here uninvited, and if I'm presumptuous, I still look at Haihan."

This time the banquet was hosted by Cao Lin on the surface, but in fact it was secretly requested by Yang Yansi.So Yang Yansi definitely won't watch Cao Lin suffer.

Qingyu stepped over the desk, walked up to Yang Yansi, and circled around him twice.

"Who is your sister? She is so affectionate and glib. Are you trying to defend Lin'er?"

Yang Yansi couldn't figure out Qingyu's pulse for a while.

"girl……"

As soon as Yang Yansi opened his mouth, Qingyu immediately cried out.

"Girl? I changed my name to girl again. Do you want to distance yourself from this little girl? You don't like me? Do you think I'm not as beautiful as Lin'er, or do you think I'm not as gentle as Lin'er?"

"Forehead?!!"

Yang Yansi has never met this kind of girl in his two lifetimes, so he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

"Your Highness, don't embarrass him."

Sitting in the field, the 45-year-old middle-aged man with a beard and a square face offered to chime in.

"Hee hee..." Qing Yu smiled sweetly, "This princess just didn't expect that the gloomy boy that Brother Huang said was actually a shy child."

After Qingyu finished speaking, she dragged Cao Lin back to the desk and sat down.

Yang Yansi didn't expect that such a bold and tricky girl was actually a princess.

At her age, she should have never been out of the cabinet. That is Zhao Guangyi's daughter.

Then...the emperor brother he was talking about should be Prince Zhao Yuanzuo.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuanzuo would give himself a gloomy evaluation.

After thinking about it for a while, it seems that Zhao Yuanzuo's evaluation has no real harm to him...

At the invitation of the man in the field, he sat on the side where the man was.

Beside him is the young man who just spoke up to help.

After Yang Yansi sat down, he bowed his hands slightly and saluted, "Little brother Yang Yansi, thank you brother Xian for helping out just now."

The middle-aged man smiled happily.

"I remember, Dong Weng once said that you are smart, wise, dark-minded, ruthless and unpredictable. So, even if I don't speak up, it's easy for you to get out of the siege yourself, right?"

There are four adjectives in one breath, and three of them are derogatory terms.

This made Yang Yansi's face darken.

"You haven't asked yet?"

The middle-aged man stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Lu Duan is the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture. The three yamen servants you made crazy are my subordinates."

Lu Duan? !
This name surprised Yang Yansi a little.

He didn't expect to meet such a future celebrity in a small banquet.

There are two old proverbs that came from him.

One is: be confused about small things, but not be confused about big things.

One is: the prime minister can punt a boat in his belly.

Yang Yansi was a little puzzled. This famous Song Dynasty minister who was born in a family of officials and received rave reviews in the future is only 45 years old now, and he is actually just an eighth-rank magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Moreover, this Kaifeng mansion judge greets people with a smile on his face, why does he have the intention of questioning him secretly?

It is absolutely unacceptable to pretend to be a ghost.

Yang Yansi pretended to be stupid and pretended to be stupefied, "Judge Lu, the three government servants in Kaifeng Mansion have gone crazy. This matter has nothing to do with me. Don't talk nonsense without evidence. People will die."

"Hey hey hey..."

Lu Duan just smiled and didn't speak.

This made Yang Yansi have the urge to hit someone.

"What are you two talking about, let's hear it?"
