The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 81 I also have to work overtime today

In Liang Mansion, there were two banquets.

In the North Courtyard, Zhao Youfu hosted a banquet for his father-in-law, Shang Gong, Baotou, Yu Hou and others.

Huang Tingjian is in charge of the South Campus.

Those who came were all masters of contemporary poetry, people related to the Su family, and even pure poetry lovers like Zhou Bangyan also came.

Some high-ranking officials in the DPRK, such as Han Zhongyan, sent someone to politely send a congratulatory gift, but no one came.

To Liang Xin's surprise, Fan Chunli not only came by herself, but also called friends and dozens of people over.

Liang Xin ran in both directions.

Originally, this amount of alcohol was average.

The North Courtyard is full of drunkenness.

In the south courtyard, people sang, wrote poems and drank like crazy.

No matter which way he drank, Liang Xin couldn't bear it.

As soon as it got dark, they were carried back.

What can Cao Tan do?
Just take care of the drunks.

The one in the North Courtyard ended early, and they dispersed at the second watch.

In the south courtyard, the singing continued until late at night, and they dispersed just before midnight.

Cao Tan, who had not yet taken off the jewelry from his head, was leaning on the couch and seemed to be sleeping.Another of her personal maids, Xu Shizhen, was lying on the table, holding a wine glass in her hand.

The ceremony is not over yet.

There are also flowers to be removed, fans to be fanned, cups to be handed over, and candles to be extinguished.This is when the wedding is complete.

It's just that Liang Xin was very drunk and drank sobering soup, so she was still sleeping at this moment.

Yinshi!

There was a knock at the door, and then Liang Zhong whispered: "Shaojun, Shaojun."

Cao Tan thought it was Liang Zhong who came to remind him that he couldn't wait until dawn to remove the flowers... this is the process.

Cao Tan motioned to Xu Shizhen to open the door.

When Liang Zhong came in, he saluted Cao Tan first: "Well done, Madam." After saluting, he shook Liang Xin fiercely: "Young Master, it's time for you, Young Master."

"What, it's Yin time."

Liang Xin woke up and saw Cao Tan, who was still covering his face with a fan, and the red candle on the table.

Look at the red wedding robe on your body again.

heart:

MMP.

You can't even take a holiday for a wedding. Last time, you said you owed ten days of leave.

According to Song law, a wedding requires at least ten days of leave.

It seems that this holiday is gone again.

Liang Xin turned over and jumped up, glanced at Liang Zhong, and then at Cao Tan.

"Liang Zhong, go get ready."

"Yes." Liang Zhong trotted away.

Liang Xin walked up to Cao Tan and said, "Well, well, this..."

"Ugh!"

Liang Xin sighed: "The laughter filled the air with a faint fragrance. The crowd looked for him thousands of times, but when I suddenly looked back, that person was there, in the dimly lit place."

After reciting the poem, while Cao Tan was in a daze, he reached out and took the hairpin from Cao Tan's head.

"Well, after reciting the poem, the lady is fanning." Cao Tan put down the fan and was about to ask a question. Liang Xin quickly poured two glasses of wine and put one cup into Cao Tan's hand. Before Cao Tan could react, Liang Xin pulled the fan away. Cao Tan drank the wine with his hands, turned around and blew out the candles, pulled off the red wedding robe and ran out.

Liang Zhong was already waiting outside, and the sliding rod carried by the two men was ready.

Liang Xin put on the linen clothes and then the official robe. After getting on the sliding pole, the person carrying the sliding pole started running. Liang Zhong supported him and kept shouting: "Steady, steady."

Cao Tan stretched out her hand to support her waist, then turned around. She was looking for a knife.

Suddenly he realized that this was not the Cao family's own house, and there was no knife hanging on the wall.

Wang Jingyu came at this time.

She hadn't slept, so she observed that Liang Xin would definitely go to the North Courtyard on Mondays, Fridays, and Yin hours.Normally, the moon cave doors of the North Courtyard and South Courtyard are wide open, but at this time, there will be young eunuchs guarding them.

After entering the house, Wang Jingyu said to Cao Tan: "Girl, I told you a few days ago."

Cao Tan remembered.

Wang Jingyu added: "Girl, there is nothing special about the North Courtyard. It is inhabited by young eunuchs and maids who usually train in the North Courtyard. There are also warehouses. I have also visited each warehouse, and there is nothing special about it."

Cao Tan asked: "Then why?"

Wang Jingyu replied: "I didn't know about the message I sent to the girl a few days ago. After I came back, I went to check the banquet in the North Courtyard yesterday and found out that there is only one special place. In the east corner of the North Courtyard, a small river was dug to serve as a wall, and then a corridor was built. Another stone bridge was built. The stone bridge leads directly to...the palace city."

"Palace...city!" Cao Tan was surprised.

Wang Jingyu then spoke very straightforwardly: "Girl, Qingzhao told me that if you count the days, during the Yin period during court meetings, my uncle will go to the North Courtyard, so I guess my uncle must have entered the palace."

For an eighth-grade official, the court meeting has nothing to do with him.

In fact, yesterday was the wedding, and now it is the night of the bridal chamber.

Even if you are the left prime minister of the court and your grandchildren are getting married, you don't need to attend the court meeting.

Wang Jingyu: "Girl, take a rest. My uncle will be back at midnight."

"You should rest early." Cao Tanxin said that he must ask clearly tomorrow.

This thing is so weird.

It was far more important than the equality of all beings that she cared about in her heart.

In fact, there was nothing important in the court.

But Zhao Ji said that if Liang Xin was not behind Longbi, he would rather stop the court.Therefore, in order for him to become a holy king, Liang Xin must be behind the dragon wall during court meetings.

Zhang Dun mentioned that a new Yamen was added.

This matter cannot be rushed.

We have to wait until Zeng Bu has had enough jumps and the news of the victory of the Western Expedition army comes back before we start implementing it.

Don't be too hasty.

Behind the dragon wall, the young eunuchs checked that everything was correct. Except for the four young eunuchs who passed the teleprompter board and held up the teleprompter board, the others left.

Zhang Dun said: "I just observed that there are too many eunuchs around the main hall. It is obviously several times more than the previous number. Once or twice may be okay, but as time goes by, it is inevitable that some people will be careless. I also understand, There are less people, so if anyone goes around to the back on the pretext of using the toilet, or if the outer door panel is not closed tightly."

"Well, this matter is easy to solve." Liang Xin said: "Next morning for the court meeting, I will arrange for three times more manpower to be placed in the waiting area with various breakfasts and soft chairs for rest. Who wants to take a nap? There will also be a little eunuch responsible for waking up, so there is no need to lean against a tree or wall while waiting."

Zhang Dun asked: "Do you charge money? I've seen people selling snacks at the palace takeaway stalls before. Even stalls that sell to court officials are still doing business."

"The officials are considerate of the officials. This little money can be earned back with just a few hands. But right now, I have a little trouble."

"tell me the story."

Liang Xin sighed: "I'm getting married."

Zhang Dun: "I know that the rumors in the market are not trustworthy. The Cao family is still very well-educated."

"No. It's..." Liang Xin pointed to the table in front of the two of them. She really thought this was a small trouble. Sometimes she lied too much, and her life was filled with lies one after another.

After hearing this, Zhang Dun said: "This matter is easy to handle. If you are dedicated to this world, even if I help you become Huo Guang, it is not a bad idea. If you plan to tell the truth to your eldest wife, there is nothing wrong with it. But this matter cannot be said in person. Try his reaction to this matter, and you can explain it step by step. I can help you."
