Rumors circulated that Lin Yi would spend the night with the courtesan Cui Niannu in a beautiful residence. Countless people were envious and jealous.
Cursed as a ‘straight bitch’.
Lin Yi didn't care about that. If there is a flower, it needs to be broken. Who knows what will happen tomorrow.
He didn't hear the scolding either.
Because the next day,
He stayed in Cui Niannu's courtyard without returning to the inn. He and the oiran discussed the creation of "The Story of the Western Chamber" and occasionally talked about poetry, painting, dongxiao, and piano skills. Cui Niannu was even more shocked by Lin Yi.
.
"Lang Lang, the slave family has seen countless officials and talented people, but I dare to say that Lin Lang is the most talented and learned person the slave family has ever seen. He is at the top level in everything. Even if he does not pass the imperial examination, he will be famous all over the world for thousands of years in the future."
Cui Niannu said.
Lin Yixin said, you haven't seen all of my capabilities.
Chatting,
Cui Niannu accidentally said: "Lin Lang, the owner of Huaju Yashe sent someone to borrow the painting you painted for me the day before yesterday. He said it was for a noble person to see, but it has not been returned today."
As soon as Lin Yi came yesterday, the two of them started talking about playing the flute and The West Chamber, and even did that wonderful thing in the evening. Cui Niannu forgot about the painting, and now they are talking about painting.
Lin Yi's first thought was that the painting might have been taken away by Song Huizong.
Because when he was painting for Li Shishi yesterday, Li Shishi accidentally shared some insights on new painting methods. Lin Yi noticed that Li Shishi seemed to have seen him paint, otherwise he would not have so many ideas.
The boss behind Cui Niannu, the owner of Huaju Yashe, is said to be a very powerful figure in the capital, and he seems to be a prince, otherwise it would be impossible to keep Cui Niannu.
There are only a handful of people in Bianjing who can mobilize such a person to get the painting, and to get the painting overnight, 99% of the time it is Zhao Ji, Huizong of the Song Dynasty.
It is not surprising that Master Li saw the painting.
This is also the reason why Lin Yi left behind no poems when he painted for Li Shishi.
"Haha, if someone appreciates my painting, it means that my painting is not bad." Lin Yi said with a smile.
"Lin Lang's paintings, both in technique and charm, are at the level of a master. Who in the world dares to say he doesn't appreciate them?" Cui Niannu said.
Just when Lin Yi was lingering about Nujiao, someone came over from Li Shishi's side. He was someone serving around Song Huizong.
"Miss Shishi, I heard that Lin Yi painted a painting for you yesterday, and the high official asked me to borrow the painting for a look." The visitor said with a slightly shrill voice.
Master Li glanced at his portrait on the wall again, feeling a little reluctant to part with it, but he could only nod, "Take it."
royal palace,
Royal study room.
Zhao Ji saw Li Shishi's portrait.
"Beautiful, so beautiful, even more beautiful than I imagined. This is the perfect beauty in my heart."
He took another look at the portraits of Cui Niannu hanging side by side and said, "This one is also beautiful, with a different flavor."
The eunuch serving next to him said: "There are rumors that Lin Yi stayed in Cui Niannu's room last night."
Zhao Ji smiled softly, "He is also a romantic and talented man."
There was a poem on Cui Niannu's painting. When Song Huizong saw Li Shishi's, he smiled and thought to himself, why not write a poem for Shishi to add to his style.
He thought for a while,
Pick up the pen and write a poem in the blank space using thin gold script.
"The eyebrows and buns hang down to the green clouds, and the eyes are bright and full of autumn water.
The phoenix shoes are folded in half and the small bow is made, and the oriole whispers sweetly.
Wear a blouse made from clouds and fog, with a slender waist.
The peach blossoms are the face and the jade are the skin, which cannot be described in any painting.”
If Lin Yi saw this poem, he would definitely say, it’s so damn vulgar, an emperor can only write such obscene words and nonsense.
No wonder he was praised by later generations as: "Song Huizong is a rare artistic genius and all-rounder. He can do everything except being the king's ear!"
After finishing writing,
I put down the pen and took a look, I was very satisfied.
Let’s talk about Lin Yi.
I took some time in the afternoon to find the steward of Huaju Yashe, and handed me a bunch of money. The steward took it blankly, "Sir, what are you doing?"
"Recharge to apply for a card!" Lin Yi said.
"Ah~~what?"
The manager was confused and confused.
"The last two times I came here, Nian Nu paid for the tea service himself, right? I come here often, so the money will be put in the account first, and it can be withdrawn for future use." Lin Yi said.
Although Cui Niannu is exempted from paying for serving Lin Yi, there are other expenses, such as banquets, servant services, etc., which cannot be free. Although Lin Yi likes to have sex for free, he cannot be shameless and must spend the money he deserves.
.
After hearing this, the manager happily took the money.
Counted it,
Two thousand strings.
I thought Mr. Lin was really grand.
Time flies and it’s the Shangyuan Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month. The Shangyuan Festival in the Song Dynasty is very lively. Today, everyone from ladies to ladies can go out and enjoy the lanterns.
Ouyang Xiu once wrote, "On the night of the Yuan Dynasty last year, the lights in the flower market were as bright as day. The moonlight was above the willow branches, and people were meeting after dusk."
I don’t know if people make appointments after dusk, but the lights in the flower market are definitely true. Lin Yi took Cui Niannu, and her two maids Linglong and Lvzhu, walking on the bustling streets. Cui Niannu
She was dressed beautifully, but she wore a mask to prevent others from seeing her face.
Cui Niannu was in a very good mood and would occasionally stop to take a look at various stalls. In fact, she didn't lack anything, she just thought it was fun.
The three of them came to the place where they guessed lantern riddles again. The most people gathered here. There was a riddle on each lantern. They paid to enter. If they guessed correctly, they would be rewarded. They could get a few pennies or choose a good-looking lantern. These lanterns were all
It's very beautiful, the workmanship is fine, and the paintings on it are also very beautiful.
Cui Niannu is a smart man. He looked at Lin Yi and said with a smile: "Lang Lang, how about we compete?"
"How to compare?"
"Let's see who can guess the most lantern riddles?"
Lin Yi felt funny in his heart, "Okay, what are the rewards and punishments for winning or losing?" He whispered a few words in Cui Niannu's ear.
Cui Niannu blushed.
"Lin Lang is shameless."
"Haha, add a little more fun."
Cui Niannu gritted his teeth and agreed.
Several people handed over the money, and the boss took it with a smile, and the two began to guess lantern riddles, "Don't tell me sooner or later, type one word."
Cui Niannu frowned and thought.
Lin Yi said: "This character means Yan Wu Xu."
The boss was surprised that Lin Yi guessed it so quickly. Cui Niannu suddenly realized after Lin Yi said the answer, "Yes, why didn't I think of it?"
"Miss, why is it called Xu?" the maid Linglong asked.
Cui Niannu said: "If you don't say it sooner or later, then you can only say it at noon. Isn't Yanwu meant to say it at noon, so it is called Xu."
"Oh~!" The two girls nodded together.
The boss smiled and said: "Young master is smart, here is 5 cents."
Each of them pays 20 coins, for a total of 80 coins. They need to guess 16 correctly to get their money back. Of course, they can also exchange lanterns.
Without letting Lin Yi do anything, Linglong took the coin and the others continued to guess. This time Cui Niannu reacted quickly and quickly guessed another one.
What happened next was that Lin Yi and Cui Niannu kept guessing the lantern riddles correctly. At first, the boss kept smiling, but in the end, seeing the two people's fluent expressions, his face suddenly fell. It seemed that he was going to lose money today.
They kept guessing until they had fun. The two of them had guessed seventy or eighty lanterns. Lin Yi looked at the boss and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, and you don't have to pay. We can each choose a lantern."
The boss was overjoyed: "Thank you, sir. You are so generous. If you take part in the imperial examination, you will definitely be the leader of the high school."
Lin Yi, Cui Niannu, Linglong, and Lvzhu each picked a lantern and continued shopping with it.
Fireworks were set off in the distance, and they were very bright. Several women screamed and ran to the river embankment to watch. Lin Yi looked at the fireworks and then at the people around him.
No one would have thought,
Ten years later.
A piece of trash tore such a huge empire into pieces.
Play until midnight.
The four of them then returned to Huaju Yashe.
When the steward saw Cui Niannu coming back, he hurriedly greeted her, "My lady, you are back. There has been a quarrel in our courtyard now."
"What's the noise about?" Cui Niannu was confused.
The steward glanced at Lin Yi, as if he was hesitant to speak. Cui Niannu glared at the steward, "If you have anything to say, just say it and see what Lin Lang does."
"It's Miss. The other guests are shouting that you are only accepting Mr. Lin now, which is unfair to them. Today is the Lantern Festival. They hope to see Miss show her face. Also, many people want to compete with Mr. Lin, hoping to
Have a cup of tea with the girl," the steward said.
Lin Yi smiled.
I immediately guessed that there are shrewd readers among them.
In fact, meeting Cui Niannu was just incidental. Challenging him was the real purpose of those people. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Now that Lin Yi is in the capital, he can be said to be the most famous among the candidates this year. If they can suppress Lin Yi
, then they can quickly become famous.
Much faster than becoming famous through Cui Niannu.
In modern times, this is called enthusiasm.
In fact, this trick has been used countless times in ancient times, and when used well, the effect is often very good.
For example, calling a celebrity a name.
Swearing at officials makes them famous.
Many people even scolded the emperor for his fame.
Never underestimate the filthiness of scholars, they are more filthy than anyone else.
Lin Yi thought for a while and said with a smile: "In this way, I will write a poem and you will hang it in the hall. If someone can surpass it, I will bow my head and admit defeat."
The manager was overjoyed when he heard it.
Regardless of whether it works or not.
You can definitely see the excitement. What they like most in brothels is the excitement. The more lively they are, the more money they make.
"Okay, I'll go and notify them right away."
Back in Cui Niannu's small courtyard, Cui Niannu personally spread paper and polished ink for Lin Yi, and asked with concern: "Do you have confidence, Master?"
"Of course there is." Lin Yi said with a smile.
He plagiarized classics, and those scholars rushed to challenge him. There was no chance of them surpassing him.
Pick up the pen and start writing.
"The east wind blows thousands of trees and flowers at night. It blows down, and the stars are like rain. BMWs and carved cars fill the road with fragrance. The phoenix flutes sound, the jade pots turn with light, and fish and dragons dance all night."
Moths are like golden threads in the snow and willows. Her laughter is full of hidden fragrance. People are looking for her thousands of times. Suddenly looking back, that person is there, in the dimly lit place."
signature,
Qinghe·Lin Yi.
If you are as shameless as him, you will feel at ease if you copy.
After reading this poem, Cui Niannu's eyes were filled with sparkles. He raised his head and looked at Lin Yi: "What a beautiful poem, Lin Lang, am I the person you are looking for?"
Lin Yi looked at Cui Niannu, "Of course."
Cui Niannu was crazy.
Lin Yi picked up Cui Niannu and walked into the curtain.
Lin Yi enjoyed the service of a beautiful woman, but there was a commotion outside. The steward came to the hall with a poem written by Lin Yi and hung it on a wooden frame specially designed to display poems.
"Everyone, this is a New Year's Eve poem that Mr. Lin Yilin just wrote. Miss Niannu said that if anyone can surpass this poem, she promised to invite the talented man to drink tea, chat and play the piano and listen to music tomorrow."
The steward just finished speaking,
The group of scholars swarmed forward.
Everyone was thinking about how to defeat Lin Yi.
But after seeing the poem,
Many people were dumbfounded.
"What a wonderful poem. Every sentence is refreshing and refreshing. There is nothing that can be changed."
"The crowd searched for her thousands of times, but suddenly looking back, she was there in the dim light. This sentence is the most touching."
"The 'she' here is Miss Niannu, right? Miss Niannu is so happy. There is a song about plum blossoms in the front and a song about New Year's Eve in the back. Girl Niannu will definitely be famous throughout the ages."
Some people shook their heads and said, "I'm not as good as me, far from it. Brother Lin is such a talented person, and Miss Niannu should belong to him!"
It’s not just Huaju Yashe.
The poem quickly spread to other places.
In the Qingyue Drunken Flower House, Master Li couldn't help but look at this New Year's Eve poem for a long time.
This is another good poem that can be passed down through the ages.
Nowadays, other brothels in Bianjing are also overcrowded. It is a busy time, and many people are also holding poetry gatherings.
Just when people were still arguing about whose New Year's Eve poem was better, someone came to know that Lin Yi had written this New Year's Eve poem and sent the poem. For a time, many quarrels and debates in brothels stopped.
If fifty-nine and fifty-eight can compete with each other.
But there is no comparison between a score of fifty-nine and a score of ninety-nine. Even a person who is not particularly good at poetry can still tell the difference between good and bad.
Debating about the merits of my poems,
It instantly felt meaningless.
The next day.
Lin Yi left Huaju Yashe and returned to the inn.
Everyone was surprised to see Lin Yi and immediately gathered around. Xia Tingzhi said in a teasing tone: "Dongyang, why don't you come back? I thought you wouldn't come back before the exam."
"How is it possible? After all, the imperial examination is the most important thing. Shouldn't I just go back to school?" Lin Yi said with a smile.
In fact, Lin Yi did not come back to read. He had read all the books that he should read. The main reason was that if he lived in a brothel every day, he would be afraid of a bad reputation and affect the imperial examination. When the time comes, those ministers or emperors would not see Lin Yi taking the exam.
It's good, but I thought that if I couldn't give him high marks for a guy who spends time in a brothel every day, he might be able to pass the Jinshi exam, but in the end he would have to be the same as the Jinshi. That would be a big loss.
Zhao Yuanbi said: "Dongyang, now that your reputation has spread all over Bianjing, and you have Miss Niannu by your side, we are so envious. Now that you are back, you have to treat us."
"Yes, yes, treat."
Several friends were making noise together.
Lin Yi smiled,
"Why treat a guest? Come on, let's go have a drink." Lin Yi said with a smile.
noon,
Everyone in Zuihua Tower was a little tipsy after drinking. They originally planned to go back, but someone suggested: "They say that Daxiangguo Temple is very efficacious. Many people go there to burn incense and pray that they can pass the exam this time. Isn't it better?"
Let’s go and have a look, burn incense to the Buddha, and ask the Buddha to bless us to pass the exam?”
"I estimate that the number of people who go to ask for help is not only 5,000 but also 3,000. The maximum number of people we ask for every year is more than 200. Who will the Buddha bless?" Zhang Yinglu said.
"It's just for psychological comfort. The result still depends on your own efforts. But I heard that the Daxiangguo Temple is a famous scenic spot in Bianjing. It has many beautiful scenery. It would be good to go and see it." Han, the oldest in the group,
Liang said.
"Okay, let's go and have a look. It's just a tour."
Everyone set off to Daxiangguo Temple.
Daxiangguo Temple covers a large area, more than 500 acres. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Xiangguo Temple was repeatedly renovated and became the largest Buddhist temple in the country. It has 64 Zen monasteries and temples and more than 1,000 monks. The presiding officer of Daxiangguo Temple is
It was granted a title by the emperor, and the emperor's daily visits, prayers, thanks, and even the inscription of Jinshi were often held here, so Xiangguo Temple is also called the "Royal Temple".
Famous attractions in the temple include the Heavenly King's Hall, the Main Hall, the Octagonal Glazed Hall, the Sutra Library, the Thousand-Hands and Thousand-Eyes Buddha, etc.
When Lin Yi and others came over, they saw a large number of pilgrims and tourists.
Someone was offering incense to the Buddha in the Main Hall. Lin Yi did not kneel down to pray, but he also offered a stick of incense and a silver ingot of sesame oil.
Lin Yi’s philosophy is very simple,
Do not believe.
But respect.
Several people wanted to go to other temples to offer incense, but Lin Yi was too lazy to go and decided to go around by himself. When he arrived at Wuyue Tower, he saw a commotion there.
A group of dandy boys teased and even touched beautiful women when they saw them, causing many women to scream and run away. When Lin Yi saw this posture, he immediately thought of one person.
Someone next to me was pointing to where I was, and I heard someone say: "It's the son of the dandy Gao Yanei, Gao Qiu. He usually behaves unscrupulously and molests women. He relies on the official position of his father Gao Taiwei."
No one dares to mess with you."
Gaoyanei.
Depend on,
It won't be a famous scene.
According to the original work, it seems to be spring, and it is only the first month now. While Lin Yi was thinking wildly, Gao Yameni stopped a beautiful and dignified-looking woman, and looked at the young woman's dress. She looked about twenty-twenty-twenty-three years old.
It is the age of youth and beauty.
Gao Yanei opened his hands with a lewd smile on his face.
The loser who followed him cleverly blocked the woman's other escape routes.
"What a beautiful little lady, why don't you go have a glass of wine with me? Let's chat while drinking here upstairs."
The woman scolded,
"In a peaceful world, what's the point of molesting a good woman? Go away."
"Hahahaha~~~"
Gao Yanei's laughter resounded through the sky, causing several crows to fly up, "Young lady is good, I like young ladies, they are more charming."
After saying that, he would pounce on the woman.
at this time,
Suddenly a big man appeared next to him, more than eight feet tall. He stepped over in a few steps and shouted, "Let my wife go." He grabbed Gao Yanei by the collar and raised his fist to hit her.
But when Lin Chong saw clearly the person he was grabbing, his fist stopped in mid-air, and he didn't dare to drop it. Gao Yanei saw that it was Lin Chong, threw Lin Chong's hand away, and yelled loudly: "Lin Chong, you actually
If you dare to hit me, I think you don’t want to live anymore.”
Lin Chong looked at the crying woman, gritted his teeth and slowly lowered his fists.
When Gao Yanei saw that Lin Chong did not dare to take action, he immediately became more arrogant, pointed at Lin Chong's nose and cursed:
"Lin Chong, please see clearly who I am. I am the son of Captain Gao. My family runs the Bingma Division. If you dare to lay a finger on me, I will tell you to get out of the Bingma Division. This little lady is your wife.
Hahaha, I didn’t expect you to marry a beauty.”
In front of Lin Chong, Gao Yanai did not restrain himself at all.
Lin Yi looked at Gao Yanei and the crying Zhang Zhenniang from a distance, and finally his eyes fell on Lin Chong. He cursed in his heart that he was a loser. He has all the skills but no masculinity. Such a person is at most a slave to his subordinates.
Lin Yi shrank back and hid behind a low rockery.
Everyone around was watching what was happening in the distance, and no one saw that Lin Yi suddenly had a bow in his hand.
"Whoosh~!"
The bow and arrow shoot out.
The next moment, you will directly enter the space.
Immediately afterwards, a cry of surprise was heard from the crowd in the distance.
"Ah~~!"
"Yanei, Yameni was hit by an arrow."
"How could there be a cold arrow? The office is going to be in trouble."
There was a commotion at the door of Wuyue Tower. Gao Yanei had an arrow stuck in his chest, piercing from his chest to his back. He watched in horror as the blood flowed out from the wound, and he felt that the strength in his body was being stripped away bit by bit.
"Save me, save me, I don't want to die, save me, save."
Haoyanei looked at the group of thugs around him and let out a weak cry for help.
Lin Yi glanced at Gao Yanei again,
A smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth. Lin Yi had no intention of quarreling with such a small character, so he would kill him cleanly.
He has nothing to do with his own affairs.
As for Lin Chong,
He's not in the mood to make friends right now.
A person like Lin Chong may be accepted if he is used in the future, but with his character and intelligence, he can at best be a low-level military attache who can fight on the battlefield, but it is completely impossible to be a commander, because he does not have the heart to be a commander.
.
It's noisy here.
Lin Yi turned around and left, looking for his companions to continue visiting Daxiangguo Temple.
