The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 4 It Turned Out to be... Her!

Ordinary wealthy people wore crane cloaks. In the Song Dynasty, they wore fur made of bird feathers, which was a kind of coat.Those who wear silk and cotton are not rich but noble, and those who wear mink are no longer rich, but simply noble.

If you don't have a fifth-grade official in your family, you wouldn't dare to wear it even if you have money.

After looking at Liang Xin, the man raised his hand and said, "Cao Yang, aren't you from Bianjing?"

"Aphansia, Liang Xin."

Cao Yang went through all the people with the surname Liang in Bianjing City, and didn't feel that there was any big shot, but just because Liang Xin wore mink, he gave Liang Xin some face.

Cao Yang said: "Miss Shishi, who is famous in Bianjing City, originally, if any store invited Miss Shishi to come, the business in the building would be very good. Now, if the store does not invite Miss Shishi, , this face is quite embarrassing, the 72nd main building of Bianjing City also has to be divided."

"Master!!!... Girl! Could it be that your surname is Li?" Liang Xin was shocked.

According to his understanding of history, there are two Shishi girls. One is 38 years old, and the other is only 11 years old. She should not have debuted in nine years. After becoming famous in Bianjing, she met Huizong Zhao Ji.

Cao Yang was also startled by Liang Xin's exaggerated expression, and he hesitated before replying: "My surname is Li."

Liang Xin immediately said: "I'm going to invite Brother Yang to a drink. Please let me hear more."

Cao Yang said in a low-spirited tone: "Go to my floor."

The two were about to get on the carriage when they saw a small door in the distance open and a maid poked her head out. Soon a middle-aged scholar quickly ran to the small door. After getting in, the door was closed again. .

Cao Yang stared with a surprised expression.

The Jiaofang belongs to the Ministry of Rites, which is actually under the control of the palace, and outsiders are not allowed in or out.

The young eunuch Liang Zhong trotted over: "That's the corner gate of the Jiaofang. The person who just entered is Zhou Bangyan, the Imperial Academy Master of the Ministry of Rites."

Cao Yang looked at Liang Zhong. At this time, Liang Zhong was only 13 years old. He was wearing the clothes of an ordinary book boy, but he couldn't tell that he was a eunuch. What surprised Cao Yang was that this little guy actually knew a lot and could recognize the emperor. Chinese officials are coming.

Liang Zhong continued: "Young Master, a few days ago, he came to our house to give gifts. His position is humble and he is not qualified to enter."

Liang family?

Cao Yang began to think that the powerful man named Liang in Bianjing City dared to call Taixue a lowly official.

Liang Xin spoke at this time: "Go and inquire about it, and tell me when I come back in the evening."

"Yes." Liang Zhong left the carriage and trotted away.

Then, he successfully entered the classroom through the corner gate.

Cao Yangxin said: This Liang family is not ordinary.

Liang Xin saluted Cao Yang: "Brother Yang, go ahead of the carriage, and I will follow behind."

"Okay." Cao Yang didn't think any more and motioned to his servant to lead the way.

The matter of asking Mi Fu for calligraphy can be postponed for a while. For Liang Xin, it is like a treasure appearing in the world, so she must ask about it first no matter what.

This is Master Li.

Zhao Ji was fascinated by Master Li.

Cao Yang's carriage was in front, and Liang Xin's carriage was following behind.

On the carriage, Chu Hong said to Liang Xin, "That carriage belongs to the Cao family."

"Cao family?" Liang Xinxin said. Cao Yang had already announced his name just now, saying that his name was Cao Yang. This emphasized what the Cao family meant.

Chu Hong explains in detail:

"The Cao family of Zhending Prefecture, Jiyang County Prince's Mansion, Wuwei County Prince's Mansion, Wu Prince's Mansion, Empress Dowager Cisheng's family..." Chu Hong just read the names for two minutes.After reading, Chu Hong said: "Yang, although I have never seen it before, I have heard of it. The seventh generation of the Cao family, the direct son of the clan and a branch, was named with the radical "日"."

After talking about Cao Yang, Chu Hong continued: "I have heard of Miss Shishi who is famous in Bianjing City before, but I didn't expect that her reputation is even louder than the rumors. It is rare for the owner of a restaurant to personally take care of this kind of business. It's all run by the family's death contract manager. It's very disrespectful for the master to personally intervene."

Liang Xin asked: "Isn't it possible to find opportunities for yourself in the name of being invited to praise?"

Chu Hong thought for a while: "What Shaojun said is true, maybe it is."

Liang Xin: "Let's talk about this Miss Shishi first. I just said it casually."

"Okay." Chu Hong agreed and began to tell what he knew.

"This girl, Shishi, was originally named Wang. She was fostered in a temple when she was young. After her father, a criminal, died in prison, a geisha surnamed Li adopted her and changed her surname to Li..."

Listening to what Chu Hong said, it began to overlap with the teacher girl in Liang Xin's memory.

After listening to what Chu Hong said, Liang Xin had a plan slowly emerging in her heart.

Soon, we arrived at the restaurant.

When Liang Xin looked up, she saw that the restaurant was quite gorgeous and quite large. There was a plaque on the top of her head that read: Taiqing Tower.

This is really no ordinary restaurant.

The plaque was written by Zhenzong himself, and he hosted many banquets for ministers in this building.

Room on the second floor.

After sitting down, Liang Xin spoke first: "Brother Yang, I will find a way to invite Miss Shishi here, but after she comes, you have to arrange someone to cooperate. A noble person will come, and this will be good for you. , it’s good for me, it’s better for Miss Shishi, it’s also good for noble people.”

After hearing this, Cao Yang looked at Liang Xin again: "A few days ago, I boasted about hosting a banquet and asked Miss Shishi to sing a song."

Liang Xin didn't quite understand. He was a modern person after all, and he didn't quite understand what happened between the noble disciples of the Song Dynasty.

Just listened silently.

Cao Yang continued: "The banquet was held, but no one was invited. I slapped the owner of the restaurant. This made me very embarrassed. Brothers in Bianjing City, there are rules for brothers. If you open your mouth in my house, you will be tied up or tied up. Even if you lift me, you can get people to come, but you will be laughed at by other brothers."

Liang Xin reported her family: "My father was in Prince Duan's Mansion, laying paper and grinding ink for the official family, and taking care of the study room for several years."

"Liang...Shicheng!" Cao Yang immediately knew who it was.

The Cao family has a list, a gift list to be precise, and Liang Shicheng's name is on the gift list.

He is the kind of person in the page who needs to make friends, give enough face, and give valuable gifts. In the eyes of the Cao family, this is the person around the official family. They either make good friends, say a few nice words for the Cao family when they have time, or are key to the Cao family. Send a letter when the time comes.If he is an enemy, he must be executed to avoid being remembered and speaking nonsense in front of officials.

Just now, what he had in mind were officials of the fifth rank or above in Bianjing City, but he never thought of the father-in-law in the palace.

So, who is the noble...?

A few seconds later, Cao Yang burst into laughter and patted the table: "Come here, prepare some wine and food."

He figured it out, but couldn't say it.

Cao Yang asked: "Brother Xin, how are you going to arrange it?"

Liang Xin asked back: "Things that are too easy to obtain will never be precious. What do you think, Brother Yang?"

There is some truth in what he said. After Cao Yang savored the words, he picked up the tea bowl and said, "That makes sense, please give me tea."
