I just want to make money

Chapter 215 A painting for an oiran

Hearing the news of Qin Hui's death, Lin Yi was only taken aback for a moment, then he ignored him and said to Cui Niannu: "The emperor gave me a house, do you want to go and see it with me?"

"Okay."

Cui Niannu also wanted to go out for a walk.

Calling the girls Linglong and Luzhu, the carriage drove the four of them to the West Street of Bianjing Inner City.

In the east and west streets of the inner city of Bianjing, there are many ministers and princes, ordinary civilians and even wealthy businessmen, who are not qualified to own a house here.

The house given to Lin Yi by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty is on the West Street. It looks blue bricks and green tiles and towering white walls from the outside. Inside, it is complete with high pavilions, corridors, pavilions, pools, and rockeries, and it is fully furnished. Red sandalwood, rosewood, and nanmu , ginkgo, pear and other valuable wood.

The waterway in the house is connected to the Bianhe River, so the water is very convenient, and two sweet water wells have been dug for food.

This house is worth no less than 30 million Guan in Bianjing.

There has always been a special person to take care of it, and the maintenance is very good, but Lin Yi still found someone to clean it up. The main body does not need to be moved, and other places can be seen as new. At this time, there are still craftsmen cleaning up in the courtyard. .

Lin Yi actually has another house, but he only uses it as a warehouse, and this will be his main residence in the future. Even if he lives here at the level of a minister, it is not shabby.

It was May.

The flowers and trees are luxuriant.

The lake is clear.

"Do you like it here?" Lin Yi asked Cui Niannu.

"Of course I like it." The woman said.

"Then do you want to move here?"

Cui Niannu froze, staring blankly at Lin Yi, his face full of disbelief, "Lin Lang asked me to move here for a short stay of two days?"

Lin Yi shook his head.

Stretching out his hand to pinch the woman's chin, he asked, "From now on, would you like to always be with me and be my concubine?"

Cui Niannu's eyes instantly filled with tears.

Looking at Lin Yi with tears in his eyes, he said with a choked voice, "I think, I thought about it a lot. Ever since I met Lin Lang, one of Nian Nu's hearts has been captured by Lin Lang, and it no longer belongs to me."

"But Niannu didn't dare to have unreasonable thoughts. The more I got in touch with Lin Lang, the more I realized that Lin Lang was extraordinary. Now that Lin Lang was the top student in high school, Niannu didn't even dare to think about it. Slave, enjoy a moment."

As the woman spoke, tears fell like strings of beads.

Lin Yi looked at her with a smile.

He touched the woman's face and said:

"Actually, when you come to the world, you are no humbler than anyone else. If you are qualified and like someone, enjoy the wind together, enjoy the flowers, see the vast mountains and rivers, see the beauty of the world, and feel the rise and fall of the galaxy."

Cui Niannu cried even more sadly.

in the afternoon.

Lin Yi visited the real owner of Huaju Yashe, Ningyuan Hou Wangdan.

If you want to redeem Cui Niannu, it's useless to find other people, you have to nod from the real boss.

Ningyuanhou Wangdan is in his early thirties this year. His mother is the second daughter of Song Shenzong, Princess Jin. That is to say, Ningyuanhou is the nephew of Song Zhezong and Song Huizong. It is because of this relationship that Huaju Yashe will be in Bian Beijing opened steadily.

Both parties were very polite when they met.

Lin Yi's status is no longer that of a country boy. He is the number one scholar in the current discipline, the emperor's favorite minister, and his future is limitless. Even Ningyuan Hou Wangdan dare not provoke him at will.

Marquis Ning Yuan held Lin Yi's hand with such enthusiasm that Lin Yi had goose bumps all over his body.

Lin Yi offered to redeem Cui Niannu.

Ningyuan Hou Wangdan waved his hand, "What did Lin Zhuangyuan say? It is her blessing that you can take a fancy to Niannu. In this way, tomorrow I will ask the steward to send Niannu's body deed and prepare six boxes of dowry for her." .”

"How can this be done, how can it make Hou Ye suffer." Lin Yi waved his hand and refused.

"Brother, you don't know, I am also born good at painting, and I also have a position in the painting academy. These days, you accompany the officials to paint, and everyone in the painting academy is talking about it."

Having said that, he lowered his voice.

"Niannu's painting is what I want to come. At the time I saw it, I liked it very much. Originally, I wanted to wait for His Majesty to read it and return it, and talk to Niannu about the collection. Unfortunately, Your Majesty is faster than me, so I just don't return it. Oh, oh, what a pity."

"The fact that you painted the pictures of the ten beauties has spread throughout the painting academy, but unfortunately everyone can't see them, but that day, I took the opportunity to give the paintings to His Majesty, and I went in to see a few of them, and I was deeply impressed at that time." absorb."

"Brother, if you want, why don't you give me a painting?"

Lin Yi could tell that this Ningyuan Hou Wangdan intended to make friends with him. As for painting, he really liked it, so he took the opportunity to ask him for a painting.

A painting for a slave.

Lin Yi is naturally willing.

He thought for a while, and said: "Since Master Hou loves painting, then Lin will draw one, but today I have other ideas, I don't want to draw pictures of beauties, I plan to change to a freehand one."

"Big freehand?!"

"Master Hou, ask someone to prepare drawing paper, the bigger the better." Lin Yi said.

Ning Yuanhou regained his spirit, "The bigger the better?" He knew that the bigger the price, the more valuable it was.

"nature."

Ning Yuanhou immediately ordered someone to prepare drawing paper, and it was the highest grade Chengxintang paper, which couldn't fit on the table at all. Lin Yi ordered them to spread it on the ground. Fortunately, the floor of the palace was also very smooth, so it didn't affect the painting.

Press it around with a paperweight.
Lin Yi picked up a pot of ink, poured it out with a splash, and started to paint on the painting.

Hook, chamfer, rub, point, dye.

Various painting techniques are used.

The drawing action is fast and accurate.

Seeing a painting slowly appearing in front of his eyes, Ning Yuanhou became more and more excited the more he looked at it. It was the first time he had seen someone paint like this. This kind of bold and unrestrained energy made him feel like a galloping horse.

It looks so cool,

So comfortable.

So happy.

It only took about one stick of incense time to complete a painting, and Lin Yi wrote a few large characters on it, "Picture of swallowing the world with breath".

The mountains and rivers in the painting are majestic, the mountains are stacked with clouds and mist, and there is indeed a taste of swallowing the world. This kind of painting makes people feel majestic, and the momentum suddenly rises two steps.

"Good painting, good painting~!"

"Brother Lin, I earned it, this time I earned it."

Lin Yi smiled.

"It's good that Marquis Ning Yuan is satisfied."

"Satisfied, very satisfied, Brother Lin, you must stay to drink at night, you must stay."

As he said, he hugged Lin Yi's arm and did not let go, for fear that he would run away.

"Okay, let's have a drink together that night." Lin Yi said with a smile.

Marquis Ning Yuan thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Why don't we go to Huaju Yashe to drink."

Lin Yi looked at this guy, "Alright."

For the next time, Marquis Ning Yuan ignored Lin Yi again, and just lay down next to the painting by himself, looking left and then, up and down, feeling that every stroke was full of charm, and every place was full of charm. absolutely top.

Can't get enough of it.

Lin Yi had no choice but to drink tea by himself, and drank for more than an hour.

Boring as hell.

at night,

In Cui Niannu's courtyard,
Marquis Ning Yuan drank with Lin Yi, and Nian Nu waited on him with Linglong and Luzhu. Marquis Ning Yuan chatted with Lin Yi about the picture of "swallowing the world with anger" while drinking. He was as excited as a child, and finally drank too much unconsciously.

But before Marquis Ningyuan left, he still called the steward and said: "Bring Niannu's body deed and send it to Brother Dongyang. From now on, Niannu will belong to Brother Dongyang. By the way, there are also Linglong and Brother Dongyang." Luzhu, let’s go with you together, by the way, prepare six boxes of dowry, no, eight boxes of dowry, when Niannu passes by, we will carry them to Dongyang brother’s mansion together.”

After giving the order, he looked at Lin Yi and said with a big tongue: "Brother, Dongyang brother, let's drink here first, and I will entertain you again in the future, and I will definitely get you drunk, drunk."

After speaking, he was helped by the steward and left.

Cui Niannu looked at Lin Yi, tears fell again, these were tears of happiness, "Lin Lang, you must have spent a lot of money to redeem your slave's body, and the slave's family has some savings over the years, I will ask Linglong to give it all to you. "

Lin Yi laughed.

"It didn't cost any money. I traded you and Linglong Green Pearl for a painting."

The three women were full of surprise.

"It's a painting, what kind of painting, it must be priceless?" Linglong asked.

"Well, it is indeed very valuable. It took me a stick of incense to draw it."

The three women were even more shocked.

Master Lin,

He actually redeemed them with only one painting.

The green bead next to him was the smallest, and said innocently: "Master's paintings are so valuable. If you don't become an official in the future, you can support your family even if you sell paintings."

"Clap~!"

Luzhu received two slaps on the head.

One is Cui Niannu, the other is Linglong.

"What stupid things are you talking about? In the future, the master will definitely become a marquis and a minister, and the Lin family will last forever." Cui Niannu reprimanded softly.

at night,

Cui Niannu and Linglong served together.

Lin Yi enjoyed the blessing of riding a man again.

The next day.

Lin Yi didn't know yet, the news that he exchanged one painting for another for Cui Niannu was quickly spread, and immediately became news in Bianjing again.

But things went a bit awry.

The story became that Lin Yi wanted to redeem Cui Niannu's body, but the owner didn't ask for money, he only wanted a painting from Lin Yi, but if the painting could impress him, Lin Yi drew a painting, and finally the owner was shocked, He gave Cui Niannu to Lin Zhuangyuan, as well as two maids and eight boxes of dowry.

Common people like this kind of gossip with story color the most.

Moreover, the protagonist is the most popular person in the Song Dynasty recently. Lin Yi won the first prize and became famous all over the world.

Cui Niannu is also a famous courtesan in the world.

In this story, there are too many elements that the common people like to hear and see, and there is no one who does not like to hear it, so the rumors spread at the speed of the radio.

quickly,

Rumors spread to Song Huizong's ears.

Song Huizong first thought it was interesting, and then thought of something. Rumors said that Lin Yi had made a painting, which shocked the owner of Huaju Yashe, and immediately aroused Song Huizong's interest.

Nowadays,

It was also the day when Lin Yi reported to the library.

I went to the Royal Library to meet Yuan Cheng Lang Guan. Lang Guan gave a few words of encouragement, briefly explained the work content, and brought Lin Yi to his room, and there was nothing else to do.

Lin Yi's main job is to organize the materials. If His Majesty needs anything, he should take it as soon as possible. But it is not just to know where the materials are placed, but also to know the content on them. If the emperor asks, he can help the emperor. answer.

This job is not easy to do. It requires an excellent mind and knowledge of all the information to be able to answer quickly when His Majesty asks.

This job was tailor-made for Lin Yi, it was very in line with his wishes, and it was suitable for him to fully understand the specific situation of the entire Song Dynasty.

These information may not be entirely true,

Because there are also cases of falsification below.

But the vast majority are right.

For example, the official position policy of the Ministry of Officials, which records the situation of all the officials in the world, their places of employment, work conditions, etc., which cannot be seen in other places. With these materials, Lin Yi can quickly understand the personnel situation of the entire Song Dynasty officialdom.

For example, the policies reported by each yamen can let Lin Yi know the composition, operation, and way of handling things of each yamen in the Song Dynasty, as well as the situation of all previous files.

Another example is the memorials approved by the emperor in the past. There are also backups here. By reading those memorials, Lin Yi can fully understand what happened in the court before and what is happening recently.

What is this library?

For Lin Yi, this is the treasure house.

After taking a sip of the tea poured by the clerk, Lin Yi asked someone to bring over the official assessments sent by the official department over the years.

This looks like a whole morning.

I took a simple bite at noon.

I continued to read the materials without a lunch break.

Many people were amazed by this number one scholar, who was rumored to be romantic, and now he still lived in Huaju Yashe Huakui, but he was so serious in doing things, no wonder he was successful, and it made sense for him to be number one in the exam.

He didn't put down the materials and go home until someone came to tell Lin Yi that he was off work at night. If it wasn't for the regulations that he was not allowed to take away the materials, he would definitely take a bunch of materials back and continue reading.

but,

Hey,

No one else knows whether he has taken it or not. He has space, and it is ten thousand times more convenient to take things out than others.

The imperial city is not too far from Huaju Yashe. Lin Yi strolled there. He had just arrived near Huaju Yashe. Someone saw him at the door and immediately ran in to report. Lin Yi wondered what happened?

Could it be Nian Nu?
When he walked quickly to the courtyard of Huaju Yashe, a person greeted him, but it was Ningyuan Hou Wangdan. This guy came to Lin Yi with a mournful face.
"Dongyang, something is wrong!"

Lin Yi was shocked.

Could it be that Cui Niannu was robbed?

Then the next plot should be that he came to the door to slap him in the face, and the other party was also a big man, so he moved out rescuers and continued to slap him in the face.

But Lin Yi was wrong.

Marquis Ning Yuan cried and said: "My painting, my painting was robbed!"

Lin Yi's eyes widened.

Except for myself, who is so bold to rush to grab things in Bianjing.

"Official family, the official family sent someone over this afternoon to ask me for the 'Swallowing Mountains and Rivers Picture', saying that they would take it to have a look, but I know that it will be difficult to come back after I go, I, I, I, I am so sad what."

"Pfft~!"

Lin Yi almost laughed out loud.

Hurry up and hold back.

Depend on.

It's been like this for a long time, thinking that something big happened.

"If you don't want to part with it, just don't give it up." Lin Yi said as he walked inside.

Ning Yuanhou hurriedly followed, "No, dare I not? In terms of status, the official is the ruler and I am the minister, and in terms of relationship, he is the uncle and I am the nephew. I can't afford anything."

Lin Yi spread his hands.

"Since you know, why are you crying?"

Ning Yuanhou was stunned, "I, but I feel uncomfortable. I haven't cared enough for myself. I woke up this morning, and I kept staring at the painting after eating. I couldn't get enough of it all morning, but in the afternoon When the decree came, I immediately took the painting away."

"Then what are you looking for from me? Are you asking His Majesty for it?" Lin Yi asked in surprise.

Ning Yuanhou showed a troubled look, "Dongyang, I was thinking about it. His Majesty will look for you in a few days after seeing the picture of swallowing the world. At that time, can you tell me so that His Majesty can finish the painting?" give me back?"

Lin Yi glanced at this guy.

My heart says you want to fart.

Why did I tell you this for you?

Seeing Lin Yi's eyes, Marquis Ning Yuan knew that this matter was difficult to handle. He blinked and licked his face and said, "Brother Dongyang, how about you draw another picture for me?"

Lin Yi almost laughed out loud.

"Master Hou, even if I draw another picture, you can guarantee that the official will not leave again?"

Oh~!

Hou Ningyuan was speechless.

this,

It's possible.

No, it is very possible with Song Huizong's urination.

Marquis Ning Yuan cried and muttered, "Officials, officials are too unreasonable, too unreasonable."

It feels like this guy is going to cry.

Lin Yi was helpless,
Patting Ning Yuanhou on the shoulder, "Don't be sad, if that painting doesn't come back later, I'll give you another one?"

Ning Yuanhou was overjoyed immediately.

"That's great."

Song Huizong gave Lin Yi a few days to tidy up the house, these days he still lives in Huaju Yashe, and when the house is tidied up, he will bring Cui Niannu and the others to live there.

back to the house,
Lin Yi asked Linglong to bring a pen and paper, and wrote a letter.

This letter was written to my hometown, and it told Lin Youcai to arrange for his family members to come to the capital. In fact, Lin Yi didn't have any family members, that is, Youcai and his four daughters, Jinlian, Yinlian, Chunmei, and Xiuer. He didn't even think about calling the maidservant.

He was going to let old man Lin take care of the house, and leave half of the others and fire the other half.

The letter also mentioned the teacher Zhou Tong, and asked Youcai to ask Zhou Tong if he would like to come to the capital. If he was willing to come, he would naturally continue to take care of him. If he didn't want to come, he would arrange a carriage for the teacher.

Another thing is to let Youcai go to Earl Ying and Xie Xida, and ask them if they would like to come to the capital. If so, Lin Yi has arrangements here.

The letter is quite long.

It was several pages thick.

explained many things,
It also includes the sales of pharmacies and sugar shops, land properties, and Taohua Pavilion.

After writing, seal it, and call a servant to deliver the letter to the post office tomorrow.

Actually think about it,

It's a pity that he can't go back to Qinghe to pretend to be coercive, but the emperor doesn't have a holiday, and he is required to take office immediately after being assigned in the exam. There is a time limit. Lin Yi is simpler and stays in the capital.

Don't want these.

The weather is fine now,

The moonlight was bright and the weather was cool tonight. Lin Yi asked the women to spread blankets on the ground, and watch the moon, drink, chat and play games in the courtyard.

What game are you playing?

Nature is fun.

Funny.

eat grape but do not spit out grape skin, do not eat grape but spit out grape skin.

The next day.

As soon as Lin Yi arrived at the unit library, someone came to deliver an order to His Majesty to tell him to come over. Under the envious eyes of countless people, Lin Yi came to the palace.

As soon as I entered the main hall, I saw the picture of "Swallowing Mountains and Rivers with Qi" hanging on the wall, and it had already been displayed and hung in the center.

Song Huizong is admiring the painting,

But today Song Huizong is wearing a purple Taoist robe, and beside Song Huizong, there are still a few Taoist priests standing.

Several names flashed through Lin Yi's mind.

This is the world of Water Margin, and there are spells in Water Margin, so Lin Yi attaches great importance to these Taoist priests.

Not sure if some good stuff can be scooped out of them.
