The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 24: Bear it a little longer, bear it a little longer

Cai Jing is miserable.

The members of the Old Fa clan are now desperate to kill their brothers, and their members have already been tortured in the prison over at Dali Temple.

Zhao Youfu and Liang Shicheng both believed that they only needed to add insult to injury at the right time.

This would prevent the Cai brothers from ever being able to stand up again. Even if they were relegated to Leizhou, it was a long journey with harsh mountains and rivers, and it was not impossible for them to contract serious diseases or something.

Zhao Youfu has a higher position than Liang Shicheng, but he has always acted as equal to Liang Shicheng.

He saw it.

In just a few days, Liang Shicheng's son turned his hands into clouds and rain, causing great changes in the palace. Originally, the eunuch from Duan Palace was an outsider, and he was still slowly competing with his father-in-law in the palace. At this time, Except for the eldest lady in the harem, they have the final say in all other positions in the palace.

Moreover, he solved the solar eclipse issue for the officials, and by the way, King Jian was currently under house arrest.

At the same time, some shops were closed down, which also gave the eunuchs who were born in Prince Duan's palace an extra income.

High, really high.

Is Liang Xin Gao?

The true brilliance has not yet been fully demonstrated.

Zhao Ji picked out a lot of good things from the Cai brothers' house, and of course beauties.

Before preparing to return to the palace, Zhao Ji suddenly asked: "Brother Xin, don't you choose something?"

Liang Xin replied in a low voice: "Everything in the world belongs to you. I only have it if you reward it for me. If I reach out and take it, it will be my fault."

After saying this, Zhao Ji almost shouted: "Okay."

But thinking about it, he couldn't bear to part with the calligraphy and painting, famous ink and so on.

Or let Liang Xin choose her own among those she has picked.

Zhao Ji thought about it for a while, but still couldn't bear it. He was pressed for time today and he didn't look carefully, so he might miss something exquisite, so he couldn't bear to let Liang Xin choose.

Even people. He wanted to go back and read the list and pick carefully.

Think left, think right.

Zhao Ji looked at the garden and said, "Otherwise, this garden will reward you."

"No, the whole court is watching. I don't want anything, as long as you are happy. In a few days, people from the teaching workshop in Jiangnan will come over, and I will arrange a real competition to make you happy."

"Okay, okay." Zhao Ji was in a very good mood. Among the things he selected, he reluctantly took out a piece of ink and said, "It's yours."

Liang Xin happily took it and put it in her arms without saying thank you.

Zhao Ji returned home with a full load.

Of course, he still had to find time to choose again, for fear of missing something.

After Lu Wenchong protected Zhao Ji and left, the smile on Liang Xin's face disappeared and became serious.

Liang Zhong was very discerning and quickly ran to Liang Xin: "Young Master."

Liang Xin: "Tell me to go down and dig three feet into the ground, but don't destroy the garden. Then I'll make a few more account books to facilitate flexibility."

"Understood." Liang Zhong trotted over to make arrangements.

Despite his young age, he is still a prominent figure among the young eunuchs.

Besides Wang Pu, he is next.

By the way, doesn’t Liang Xin like this garden?

like.

But he can't.

Once the garden is taken over, the civil and military officials of the entire court will keep an eye on it.

Don't ruin your plans just for the sake of this garden.

In the evening, Liang Xin put on an ordinary cotton robe and went to a foot shop in Bianjing City. There are 72 main shops in Bianjing City, all of which are qualified to make wine. There are no foot shops, so they buy wine.In Bianjing City, there are said to be three thousand foot shops.

Located beside the Bian River, it is a beautifully decorated small shop.

Liang Xin found a corner and sat down.

"Guest officer..."

"Two portions of lychee kidneys. Let's go with the rest. Buy a jar of Tiexuelou's Ling (Ling, the word for You next to Yu has three syllables)."

"Just sit down, that's fine."

Lychee kidneys, this is a set of dishes that require extremely high knife skills. Very complicated knife skills turn the kidneys into the shape of lychees. They need to be cut one day in advance, then soaked in water for no less than eight hours, and then seasoned Pickled in water.

The dishes Liang Xin ordered took some time.When the dishes were served, a figure sat opposite Liang Xin, Cao Tan.

Cao Tan wearing men's clothing.

Glancing at the dishes on the table, Cao Tan stared at Liang Xin: "At your age, do you want to eat this dish?"

"Hungry."

Liang Xin kept rubbing her head while answering.

He has a headache.

There should be at least ten days and a half in the next few days. Zhao Ji will not think about leaving the palace, because the concubines of the Cai brothers have become the new palace maids. Zhao Ji will naturally talk to them about poetry and other things, and appreciate the works from the Cai family. Calligraphy, paintings and other items copied from the brother’s home.

So I have at least ten days to worry about integrating all the charcoal shops in Bianjing City to form a monopoly.

Also, I heard from my father, Liang Shicheng, that Zongze has arrived in Beijing. Do you want to meet him?

But when we meet, what do we say?
My current identity is just the son of a eunuch, and I am too young. Is it really suitable to meet Zongze?
When I use my brain too much, my head starts to hurt again.

"What happened to your head?"

Liang Xin looked up and found Cao Tan looking at her, so she replied: "I have an injury on my head, and I get a headache when I am tired."

Cao Tan: "Sit tight."

After saying that, Cao Tan took off a piece of nephrite from his waist and untied Liang Xin's hair.

When the jade sticker was scraped on her head, Liang Xin felt a sting.

"Bear with it, you'll be fine soon."

One minute later, Liang Xin was in pain and sweating profusely.

Cao Tan: "Just bear with it a little longer, and you'll be fine soon."

Another minute passed, and Liang Xin's back was even wet.

"Be patient..."

Another minute passed...

Liang Xin bit her chopsticks. She didn't know how many times she had heard this before she endured it. It would be fine soon.

Just when Liang Xin felt that she couldn't hold on anymore and was about to reach her limit, Cao Tan stopped, and the waiter in the shop had already brought a basin of hot water and cloth towels with a wink.

Although it hurts like hell when I shave it.

But now, my head really doesn’t hurt anymore.

Liang Xin took a big gulp of water. After finishing the drink, Liang Xin said: "As for the operation of the charcoal shop, we implement a system of responsibility of the shopkeeper, and provide services at home..."

Liang Xin met Cao Tan for business.

After monopolizing the entire charcoal shop in Bianjing City, this is no ordinary small business.

This kind of business is not something ordinary people can run.

Behind the charcoal shop, there is Liang Shicheng, a favored minister of the Cao family and the official family.Some people are jealous, but no one dares to have bad intentions.

Therefore, when Liang Xin met Cao Tan, they were talking about business.

But, what about Cao Yang?

Cao Yang has not found Liang Xin for almost ten days, whether in Liang Mansion or various restaurants.

Cao Yang was drinking alone in Taiqing Tower.

He was in a bad mood.

Brother Xin... went there.

Let’s talk about Liang Mansion.

Zongze came to visit and left three sentences with Liang Shicheng. He knew there was something in the words.

He understands Zongze's current age.

However, he was unwilling to cling to the powerful and had no money to give gifts to help him get promoted.

When they arrived at Liang Mansion, someone took him to the house to rest.

Zongze just asked him to wait.

Inside the room, there were many files, a notebook that was obviously an official memorial, and a piece of paper spread out.
