At Youshi, Yin Dun came to visit.

Yang Anxuan was a little surprised. If Yin Dun came at this time, something must be wrong.

Sure enough, Yin Dun told Yang Anxuan what happened in the Chaozhong and West Hall, saying: "Wang Zhongshu Ling deliberately framed you. If Wang Zhongshu hadn't been there to explain it to you, I'm afraid Anxuan you would have been reprimanded."

Yang Anxuan frowned. The Wang brothers were like lingering ghosts, which was really annoying.

Only a person can commit a thief for a thousand days, and there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days. If he is doing something in the capital, if he is caught by Wang Guobao and Wang Xu and reported to the emperor, he may not be so lucky next time.

I heard Yin Dun say in my ear: "An Xuan, my father told you that the days ahead are long, hide your edge, be like the light and dust, and wait for the opportunity."

Yang Anxuan nodded slightly. Yin Youqi's words were well-intentioned. In his opinion, he was only seventeen years old and had a long life ahead of him. He could wait until the weak crown was awarded the title before making any plans.

It's just that he doesn't have time to wait, and Wang Xu hates the Yang family deeply, and will never give up the attack because of his retreat.

People's mouths make gold, but bones are destroyed. If you want to resist Wang Xu and Wang Guobao's slander, you have to find a worthy person to distinguish them for you.

The first thing that comes to mind is the owner of Shenghuaju, Huangmen Shilang Wang Xiezhi. His father Wang Ya was Danyang Yin, the prince's young master, and he was highly regarded by the emperor.

However, Wang Ya has a good reputation, and it is impossible to say that his son can speak for him. Besides, Wang Xiezhi just mentioned it casually. Whether he can do it is still open to question.

The servant on the left shoots Wang Xun, the servant on the right shoots Xie Yan, the servant Wang Shuang, and the Taichang Kong Anguo. These big bosses do not know each other. As for the five ministers, they only know their names. It is impossible for these people to speak for themselves.

The only one who could help was his father's good friend Xu Miao, the minister of Zhongshu, who wanted to visit him when he was about to take a rest.

Yin Dun saw Yang Anxuan frowning and thinking hard, but without interrupting him, he picked up a book from the case and read it to himself.

Yang Anxuan rubbed his smooth chin. It seemed that his original idea was still too perfect. Because of the appearance of Mrs. Wei, Wang Xu and Wang Guobao accelerated their actions against him.

He had no regrets about Jixianju rescuing Lady Wei. Yang Anxuan raised his eyebrows. If he couldn't even save the weak person in front of him, how could he save the people from the fire and water?

The two moves of chess played by Masters Xi Hui and Huiyuan on the way to Jiankang have not been effective yet.

Drinking tea slowly, Yang Anxuan's irritable heart gradually calmed down, and his thoughts became clearer.

In addition to meeting Xu Miao, I also want to make many friends in the Guozi School. The last time I left an impression on the heart of Guozi doctor Che Yin, this old man is a famous scholar. He is upright and loyal, and has won the trust of the emperor. If he can worship him

As a teacher, you don’t have to worry about Wang Guobao’s slander.

In addition, the pace of going to the Buddhist temple will be accelerated. I originally wanted to use Master Huiyuan’s Five Pure Heart Tea to naturally enter the Buddhist circle, but now it seems that I have to make plans early.

Buddhism in Jiankang was very prosperous. There were dozens of Buddhist temples in the city. The emperor, ministers, scholar-bureaucrats and even ordinary people worshiped Buddhism. Monks and nuns came in and out of the palace to influence the government. Yin Zhongkan could not be appointed as the governor of Jingzhou without the words of Nizhi Miaoyin.

Master Huiyuan enjoys a lofty status in Buddhism. As one of his lay disciples, he will definitely be welcomed when he goes to a Buddhist temple.

However, rashly going to a Buddhist temple under the name of Master Huiyuan would be akin to cheating, and he would be looked down upon. Master Huiyuan would definitely not be happy if he knew about it.

When to go, you have to wait for the opportunity. Yang Anxuan has dabbled in Buddhist scriptures. He remembers the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" and many classic sentences in the Buddhist scriptures. He can also speak some Buddhist edicts. If these sentences are revealed, they will surely amaze the world.

Master Huiyuan said that he had a predestined relationship with the Buddha, and these Buddhist holy words were enough to push him up, and that he could be regarded as a son of the Buddha, an Arhat, or a Bodhisattva, and it was also possible for him to be reincarnated.

With so many things in a mess, Yang Anxuan shook his head vigorously. Living in Beijing is not easy.

…………

On May 1st, as soon as they returned to Guozixue's residence, Tao Ping and Gan Yue came to the door. They were hesitating and stopped talking.

Yang Anxuan probably had something to do with "Diao Yun". That day in the Zhaitang, Yang Anxuan heard Tao Ping utter the word "Diao Yun". Afterwards, he asked Yin Dun about it, and Yin Dun said that there was no such thing as Diao Yun in Guozi studies.

people.

The two analyzed that the Diao Yun mentioned by Tao Ping was probably the Diao family from Rao'an, Bohai. Yang Anxuan's memory of the Diao family comes from historical records that Liu Yu owed Diao Kui 30,000 yuan before he became rich, and was caught and whipped by Diao Kui.

.

After some research, I found out that Diao Kui's grandfather was a minister during the reign of Emperor Yuan of Jin Dynasty, and his father Diao Yi was the governor of Xu Yanzhou. The Diao family now lives in Jingkou. The three brothers Diao Kui like to acquire property and own more than ten thousand hectares of land.

There are thousands of slaves.

Yang Anxuan was not in the mood to beat around the bush and said directly: "You two, if you have anything to say, just say it. If you can help, I will never stand by and watch."

Tao and Gan are Danyang aristocratic families, so it is always beneficial to make friends with them.

Tao Ping said coyly: "Brother Yang, can I borrow some money from you?"

Yang Anxuan was very surprised. Both Tao and Gan were wealthy people, so why would they borrow money from him?

Yin Dun also asked in surprise: "Brother Tao, why don't you ask for money from your family when you are short of money?"

Gan Yue couldn't help but said, "Brother Fool lost fifty taels of gold by throwing alfalfa with others, so he didn't dare to speak to his family."

Fifty taels of gold is not a small amount. Yang Anxuan bought a house and land in Xiaochanggan for less than a hundred gold.

Yin Dun exclaimed: "You two bet so big?"

Tao Ping said sadly and angrily: "It's all because of that kid Diao Yun who secretly caused trouble and led Yu into a trap. That's why I owe so much money. Brother Yang, don't worry, Yu will definitely find a way to pay you back before the end of the year."

"Who is Diao Yun?" Yang Anxuan asked a concerned question.

As guessed, Diao Yun was a child of the Bohai Diao family, but the son of Diao Hong, Diao Kui's third brother. Diao Hong was a sixth-rank Sima of Xuzhou, so Diao Yun was not qualified to enter Guozi School, but studied at Taixue.

Taixue and Guozixue were not far apart. Students from the two schools often met each other while eating, drinking and having fun, and fights often occurred.

The family background of the students of Guozi Studies is higher than that of Taixue. In most cases, the students of Guozi Studies win.

There were also students from the Imperial Academy who flattered those who studied under the Imperial Academy. Tao Ping, Gan Yue and Diao Yun met for the first time, and Diao Yun flattered them, paying for food and entertainment.

Later, Diao Yun lured the two of them into the casino. After the two lost money, they borrowed money from Diao Yun, which amounted to more than ten gold. Diao Yun then said that he would gamble with the two of them on Ai Pu (1), and the outcome would be determined by one hand.

Tao Ping naively thought that Diao Yun was losing to him on purpose, so he readily agreed. As a result, more than ten gold coins turned into more than twenty gold coins. Diao Yun persuaded Gan Yue to throw another coin, and the debt turned into more than forty gold coins.

.

Diao Yun came to collect the agreed profit at the beginning of each month. Tao Ping and Gan Yue wanted to default on the debt at first, but Diao Yun and his evil servants stopped them and threatened to sue them if they did not repay their debts.

Tao Ping had a very strict upbringing, and if Tao Zhi found out that he had lost money gambling with others, he would probably be beaten, and he would not even be able to secure his heir apparent.

There was no way, so Tao Ping and Gan Yue had no choice but to borrow money here and there, and repaid Diao Yun more than ten taels of gold intermittently. Unexpectedly, the principal did not decrease, but the compound interest increased.

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the society was in turmoil, the political situation was unstable, life was in jeopardy, and life was precarious, so the trend of enjoying timely things grew. Drinking, having fun and gambling made people forget their worries, so they were extremely popular.

There are various forms of gambling, including Go, Danqi, cock-duck-dog fighting, Aipu, Zheshang, Shuanglu, Tanxi, etc. Yang Anxuan once played Aipu with others when he was in Luoyang.

The method of playing is to throw five throwing tools made of wood. They are all rounded at both ends and flat in the middle, like a flattened almond. Each throwing tool has two sides, one side is painted black, one side is painted white, and the other side is black.

There is a calf painted on the top, and a pheasant painted on the white surface. The one that is all black is called "Lu", which is the highest color, the one with four black and one white is called "Pheasant", and secondly, the one below is called "Xiao" based on how black it is.

"Calf", "Sai".

Gan Yue said worriedly: "On the first day of last month, Diao Yun promised that he would come to collect debts today. If he cannot repay, he will send someone to Danyang to collect debts."

Yang Anxuan thought for a while and said: "Brother Tao, you made an appointment with Diao Yun to meet at Jixianju at noon, and I got money to meet you."

Tao Ping said gratefully: "Brother Yang, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. If you will be of use to Tao in the future, just ask."

Such gratitude came so cheaply that Yang Anxuan didn't take it to heart and said: "Yu and Brother Tao hit it off immediately, so this small favor is nothing."

…………

Returning home to get the money, there was a secret box inside the bed, which contained more than five hundred taels of gold. The gold nuggets were large and small, weighing a catty, half a catty, two taels, and half a tael (2).

Gold is not a popular currency on the market. Ordinary people mostly trade goods and copper coins. Gold is mostly used for bulk sales and overseas transactions, or used to decorate Buddha statues, make jewelry and utensils, and is collected by families.

These toes are shaped like golden hooves, approximately semicircular, and have inscribed inscriptions on the bottom such as "sixteen taels", "fourteen taels", "six taels and seven bahts" and other weights. There are also cast gold coins and family imprints.

.

I wrapped about a hundred taels of gold in a silk scarf, put it in my arms and rushed to Jixianju. It was already noon. The business in the restaurant was booming, and the maids who welcomed guests were so busy that they didn't touch the floor.

On the third floor, Yang Anxuan met Yin Dun, Tao Ping and others, as well as a few people wearing scarves and gauze robes, probably Diao Yun and others.

On the surface, a few people were laughing and joking, but if you look closely, you will find Tao Ping, Gan Yue, frowning, gloomy and silent while drinking, while a few others were drinking happily.

Tao Ping kept his eyes on the stairs. When he saw Yang Anxuan appeared, he stood up and came to greet him, saying: "Anxuan, you are finally here, but you have brought money."

Seeing Yang Anxuan nodding, Tao Ping breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank God, otherwise Diao Yun would have driven me crazy."

The young man in the pink-faced green robe at the east table also stood up, stepped forward with a smile and saluted, saying: "Diao Yun is polite. This must be Young Master Yang. Brother Tao said that you are willing to lend him money to repay his debt."

Diao Yun was in his early twenties, with a slight beard on his lips and scented with perfume. When he flicked his sleeves, a light and elegant fragrance penetrated Yang Anxuan's nose.

It's not surprising that there are many people paying homage. Yang Anxuan returned the gift with a smile and said, "You have made Brother Diao wait for a long time. Do you want to pay off the debt now? Brother Diao, did you bring the IOU?"

Diao Yun narrowed his eyes with a smile and said: "Don't be in a hurry, I have to wait until Brother Yang finishes eating."

The maid came in and set another table. Everyone had enough to eat and drink, and then removed the remaining seats.

Yang Anxuan took out the silk scarf from his arms and put it on the table to untie it, the golden color dazzling his eyes.

Diao Yun narrowed his eyes, flashed a look of greed, and said with a smile: "Brother Yang is really rich. Brother Tao only owes fifty taels of gold. It seems that there are about a hundred taels of gold. Brother Yang is willing to take a gamble.
