Hearing the news of Qin Hui's death, Lin Yi was just stunned for a moment, then ignored him and said to Cui Niannu: "The emperor gave me a house, do you want to come and see it with me?"
"OK."
Cui Niannu also wanted to go out for a walk.
Calling the two girls Linglong and Luzhu, the carriage drove the four of them to the West Street in the inner city of Bianjing.
The East and West Streets in the inner city of Bianjing are home to many ministers and princes. Ordinary civilians and even wealthy businessmen are not qualified to own a house here.
The house given to Lin Yi by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty is on West Street. It looks like blue bricks and blue tiles from the outside, with tall white walls. Inside, it has high pavilions, cloisters, pavilions, pools, and rockeries. It is also fully furnished and mostly made of red sandalwood, rosewood, and nanmu.
, ginkgo, rosewood and other precious woods.
The water channel at home is connected to the Bianhe River, so water is very convenient, and two sweet water wells have been drilled for food.
This house is worth no less than 200,000 to 300,000 yuan in Bianjing.
There is always a dedicated person to take care of this place, and it is very well maintained. However, Lin Yi still found someone to clean it up. The main body does not need to be moved much. It is enough to see new things in other places. At this time, there are craftsmen in the courtyard who are cleaning up. When the master comes, he quickly salutes.
.
Lin Yi actually has another house, but he only uses it as a warehouse. From now on, this house will become his main residence. Even if he lives here at the level of a minister, it will not be shabby.
It's May.
Flowers and trees are luxuriant.
The lake is clear and rippled.
"Do you like it here?" Lin Yi asked Cui Niannu.
"Of course I do," the woman said.
"Then do you want to move here?"
Cui Niannu froze, looking at Lin Yi blankly, with disbelief on his face, "Lang Lang asked me to move here, is it just for two days?"
Lin Yi shook his head.
He stretched out his hand to hold the woman's chin and asked, "Will you stay with me and be my concubine from now on?"
Cui Niannu's eyes instantly filled with tears.
Looking at Lin Yi with tears in his eyes, he said in a choked voice: "I think, I miss you so much. Ever since I met Lin Lang, my heart has been captured by Lin Lang, and it no longer belongs to me."
"But Nian Nu didn't dare to think anything wrong. The more he came into contact with Lin Lang, the more he realized that Lin Lang was extraordinary. Now that Lin Lang is the number one scholar in high school, Nian Nu didn't even dare to think about it. He just wanted to take advantage of the fact that Lin Lang was still willing to get close to Nian Nu.
Slave, enjoy a little more time."
As the woman spoke, tears fell down like strings of beads.
Lin Yi looked at her with a smile.
He touched the woman’s face and said:
"Actually, when you come to the human world, you are not humbler than anyone else. You are qualified to enjoy the wind, enjoy the flowers, see the vast mountains and rivers, watch the beauty of the world, and feel the rise and fall of the stars with the people you like."
Cui Niannu cried even more sadly.
afternoon.
Lin Yi visited the real owner of Huaju Yashe, Ningyuan Hou Wang Dan.
If you want to redeem Cui Niannu, there is no point in looking for anyone else. The real boss must nod.
Ningyuan Hou Wang Dan is in his early thirties this year. His mother is the second daughter of Song Shenzong, the Princess of Jin. In other words, Ningyuan Hou is the nephew of Song Zhezong and Song Huizong. It is because of this relationship that Huaju Yashe is located in Bian
Beijing opened steadily.
Both parties were very polite when meeting.
Lin Yi's status is no longer that of a country boy. He is now the number one scholar and the emperor's favorite. His future is limitless. Even Ningyuan Hou Wang Dan would not dare to provoke him at will.
Ning Yuanhou took Lin Yi's hand and showed so much enthusiasm that it made Lin Yi's skin crawl.
Lin Yi offered to redeem Cui Niannu's life.
Ningyuan Hou Wang Dan waved his hand, "What did Lin Zhuangyuan say? It's her blessing that you can like Nian Nu. In this way, tomorrow I will ask the steward to send Nian Nu's body deed and prepare six boxes of dowry for her.
."
"How can this be done? How can the Marquis suffer a loss?" Lin Yi waved his hand and refused.
"Brother, you don't know that I am also naturally good at painting, and I also have a position in the art academy. These days you accompany the official family to paint, and everyone in the art academy is talking about it."
At this point he lowered his voice.
"That painting by Nian Nu is what I came for. I liked it very much when I saw it. I originally wanted to wait for His Majesty to come back after reading it and talk to Nian Nu about the treasure. Unfortunately, Your Majesty was quicker than me and refused to return it.
Oh, oh, what a pity."
"The story of your painting of the top ten beauties has been spread in the art academy. Unfortunately, no one can see it. However, that day, I took the opportunity to send paintings to His Majesty and went inside to look at a few paintings. I was deeply impressed at that time.
attract."
"Brother, if you are willing, why don't you give me a painting?"
Lin Yi could tell that Wang Dan, the Marquis of Ningyuan, wanted to make friends with him. As for paintings, he really liked them, so he took the opportunity to ask for a painting from him.
A painting in exchange for a memory slave.
Lin Yi is naturally willing.
He thought for a while and said: "Since Mr. Hou loves painting, then Lin will paint one. But today I have other ideas. I don't want to paint pictures of beautiful women. I plan to change to a freehand painting."
"Freehand brushwork?!"
"Master Hou, please prepare some drawing paper. The bigger the paper, the better." Lin Yi said.
Marquis Ningyuan suddenly became more energetic and asked, "Is the bigger the better?" He knew that the larger the price, the more valuable it would be.
"nature."
Ning Yuanhou immediately ordered people to prepare drawing paper, and it was the highest-grade Chengxintang paper. The table could not fit at all. Lin Yi directed them to spread it on the ground. Fortunately, the floor of the palace was also very smooth, so it did not affect the painting.
Press it down with paperweights all around.
Lin Yi picked up a basin of ink, splashed it out with skillful hands, and then began to paint on the painting.
Hook, chaff, rub, dot, dye.
Various painting techniques are used.
The drawing movements are fast and accurate.
Seeing a painting slowly appearing in front of him, Marquis Ningyuan became more and more excited as he looked at it. It was the first time that he saw someone painting like this. This kind of boldness made him feel like thousands of horses are galloping in his heart.
It’s so cool to watch,
So comfortable.
What a pleasure.
It only took about one stick of incense to finish the painting, and Lin Yi wrote a few big characters on it, "Picture of Swallowing the World with Anger".
The mountains and rivers in the painting are majestic and majestic, and the mountains and mountains are covered with gentle clouds and mist. It really has a feeling of overwhelming power. Looking at such a painting makes people feel majestic, and the momentum suddenly rises by two levels.
"What a painting, what a painting~!"
"Brother Lin, I made a profit, I made a profit this time."
Lin Yi smiled.
"As long as Marquis Ningyuan is satisfied."
"Satisfied, so satisfied. Brother Lin, I must stay and drink tonight. I must stay."
As he spoke, he held Lin Yi's arm and didn't let go, for fear that he would run away.
"Okay, let's have a drink together that night." Lin Yi said with a smile.
Marquis Ningyuan thought for a while and suddenly said: "How about we go to Huaju Yashe to drink."
Lin Yi looked at this guy and said, "That's fine."
For the next time, Marquis Ning Yuan ignored Lin Yi. He just lay beside the painting, looking left and right, up and down. He felt that every stroke was full of charm, and every place was full of charm.
Extremely top.
Can't get enough of it.
Lin Yi had no choice but to drink tea by himself for more than an hour.
Boring as hell.
night,
Just in Cui Niannu’s courtyard,
Ning Yuanhou and Lin Yi were drinking, Niannu and Linglong were waiting for him, and Luzhu was waiting on him. While Ningyuan Hou was drinking, he was chatting with Lin Yi about the "picture of swallowing the world". He was as excited as a child, and in the end he drank too much without realizing it.
However, before Marquis Ning Yuan left, he still called the steward and said: "Bring Nian Nu's body deed and give it to Brother Dongyang. From now on, Nian Nu will be Brother Dongyang's man. By the way, Linglong and
Lvzhu, come with us. By the way, prepare six more boxes of dowry, no, eight boxes of dowry. When Niannu comes over, we can carry it to my brother Dongyang's mansion together."
After giving the order, he looked at Lin Yi and said with a big tongue: "Brother, brother Dongyang, let's drink here for today. I will entertain you again one day and I will definitely get you drunk."
After saying that, he was helped away by the steward.
Cui Niannu looked at Lin Yi, and tears fell from his eyes again. These were tears of happiness, "Lang Lang, you must have spent a lot of money to redeem the slave family. The slave family has also saved some money over the years. I asked Linglong to give it all to you.
"
Lin Yi laughed.
"It didn't cost any money. I exchanged you and Linglong Green Pearl for a painting."
The three girls were full of surprise.
"You exchanged it for a painting. What painting? It must be priceless, right?" Linglong asked.
"Well, it's indeed very valuable. I spent a stick of incense painting it."
The three girls were even more shocked.
Master Lin,
He redeemed them with just one painting.
Luzhu, the youngest next to him, said innocently: "Master's paintings are so valuable. If you don't become an official in the future, you can support your family even if you sell your paintings."
"Papa~!"
Luzhu received two slaps on the head."
One is Cui Niannu, the other is Linglong.
"If you say anything stupid, I will definitely be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister in the future, and the Lin family will be prosperous for generations to come." Cui Niannu scolded softly.
night,
Cui Niannu and Linglong served together.
Lin Yi once again enjoyed the blessing of riding a horse.
The next day.
Lin Yi didn't know it yet, but the news that he had changed his paintings to Cui Niannu one by one was quickly spread, and it immediately became news in Bianjing again.
However, the story was a little distorted.
The story became that Lin Yi wanted to redeem Cui Niannu's life. The boss didn't ask for money, but just a painting by Lin Yi. But if the painting could impress him, Lin Yi painted a painting. In the end, the boss was shocked.
Cui Niannu was given to Lin Zhuangyuan, along with two maids and eight boxes of dowry.
Common people like this kind of gossip with a story color the most.
Moreover, the protagonist is the most popular person in the Song Dynasty recently. Lin Yi won the first prize and became famous all over the world.
Cui Niannu is also a famous courtesan in the world.
There are so many elements in this story that the common people like to hear, so there is no one who doesn’t like to hear it, so the rumors spread at the speed of the radio.
soon,
The rumor reached Song Huizong's ears.
Song Huizong first thought it was interesting, and then he thought of something. It was rumored that Lin Yi had made a painting, which shocked the owner of Huaju Yashe, and suddenly aroused Song Huizong's interest.
today,
It was also the day when Lin Yi reported to the library.
I went to the Royal Library to meet with the official Cheng Lang. The official encouraged him a few words, briefly explained the work content, and took Lin Yi to his room. There was nothing else to do.
Lin Yi's main job is to organize the information. If His Majesty needs anything, he must get it as soon as possible. But it is not just about knowing where the information is placed, but also knowing the content on it. If the emperor asks, it can be used for the emperor.
answer.
This job is not easy to do. It requires an excellent mind and understanding of all the information to be able to answer quickly when His Majesty asks.
This job was tailor-made for Lin Yi. It was in line with his wishes and suitable for him to fully understand the specific situation of the entire Song Dynasty.
These information may not be completely true,
Because there are also cases of fraud below.
But the vast majority are right.
For example, the official position and policy of the Ministry of Personnel records the status, location, work status, etc. of all officials in the world, which cannot be seen elsewhere. With this information, Lin Yi can quickly understand the personnel situation of the entire Song Dynasty officialdom.
For example, the literary policies reported by each yamen can let Lin Yi know the composition, operation, and way of handling things of each yamen in the Song Dynasty, as well as the status of all previous files.
Another example is the memorials approved by the emperor in the past. There are also backups here. By reading those memorials, Lin Yi can fully understand what happened in the court in the past and what is happening recently.
Where is this library?
For Lin Yi, this is a treasure trove.
After taking a sip of the tea poured by the clerk, Lin Yi asked someone to bring over the past official evaluations sent by the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
This sight lasted all morning.
I had a quick bite at noon.
I continued reading the information without taking a lunch break.
Many people are surprised that this top scholar, who is rumored to be a romantic, is still living in Huaju Yashe, is so serious about his work. It is no wonder that he is successful and he is the top scholar. It makes sense.
It wasn't until someone came over to tell Lin Yi that he had to get off work that night that he put down the materials and went home. If it weren't for the regulations not to take away the materials, he would definitely have taken a bunch of materials back and continued reading.
but,
hey-hey,
Who knows whether others have taken it or not? He has space and it is 10,000 times more convenient to take things out than others.
The Imperial City was not far from Huaju Yashe. Lin Yi strolled there. As soon as he arrived near Huaju Yashe, someone saw him at the door and immediately ran in to report the news. Did Lin Yi wonder what happened?
Could it be Nian Nu?
When he walked quickly to the courtyard of Huaju Yashe, a man came out to greet him, but it was Ningyuan Hou Wang Dan. This guy came to Lin Yi with a sad face,
"Dongyang, something bad is going to happen!"
Lin Yi was shocked.
Could it be that Cui Niannu was robbed?
Then the next plot should be that he comes to slap him in the face, and the other party is also a big guy. He then brings out reinforcements and continues to slap him in the face.
But Lin Yi was wrong.
Marquis Ningyuan cried and said: "My painting, my painting has been robbed!"
Lin Yi's eyes widened.
Who else but myself could be so bold as to rush to Bianjing to rob things?
"Guan Family, the Guan Family sent someone over this afternoon to ask for the 'Picture of Swallowing Mountains and Rivers'. They said they wanted to take it over and have a look, but I know that it will be difficult to come back. I, I, I, I am so sad.
ah."
"Pfft~!"
Lin Yi almost laughed out loud.
Hurry up and hold it back.
Depend on.
This has been going on for a long time, and I thought something big had happened.
"If you can't bear it, just don't give it." Lin Yi said and walked inside.
Ning Yuanhou hurriedly followed, "Don't give it. How dare I not give it? In terms of status, the official is the king and I am the minister. In terms of relationship, he is the uncle and I am the nephew. I can't afford to offend him at all."
Lin Yi spread his hands.
"Since you know, why are you still crying?"
Marquis Ningyuan was stunned, "I, I feel uncomfortable. I haven't cared about it enough. When I got up this morning and after dinner, I kept staring at the painting. I couldn't see enough of it all morning, but in the afternoon I couldn't see enough.
Once the order comes, the painting will be taken away immediately."
"Then what do you want from me? Why don't you go to His Majesty to ask for it?" Lin Yi asked in surprise.
Marquis Ningyuan showed a perplexed look, "Dongyang, I'm thinking that when His Majesty sees that picture of swallowing up the world, he will come to you in a few days. When the time comes, can you help me and let His Majesty read the picture?"
give me back?"
Lin Yi took a look at this guy.
My heart says you want to fart.
Why am I telling you this?
Seeing the look in Lin Yi's eyes, Marquis Ningyuan knew that this was not going to be easy. He blinked, licked his face and said, "Brother Dongyang, how about you draw another picture for me?"
Lin Yi almost laughed out loud.
"Master Hou, even if I draw one more picture, can you guarantee that the official family will not leave again?"
Oh~!
Marquis Ningyuan was speechless.
this,
It's really possible.
No, it is very possible based on Song Huizong’s urinary properties.
Marquis Ningyuan looked sad and muttered: "The officials, the officials are so unreasonable, so unreasonable."
It feels like this guy is going to cry.
Lin Yi was helpless,
Patting Marquis Ning Yuan on the shoulder, "Don't be sad. If that painting doesn't come back in the future, can I give you another one?"
Marquis Ningyuan was immediately overjoyed.
"That's great."
It will take several days for the house that Song Huizong gave Lin Yi to be tidied up. These days he is still living in Huaju Yashe. When the house is tidied up, he will take Cui Niannu and the others to live there.
Back to the house,
Lin Yi asked Linglong to get pen and paper and write a letter.
This letter was written to his hometown. The letter instructs Lin Youcai to arrange for his family to come to the capital. In fact, Lin Yi does not have any family members, that is, Youcai and the four daughters Jinlian, Anemone, Chunmei, Xiuer, and others.
He didn't even want to call the servant lady.
He planned to let Mr. Lin look after the house, while the others would stay half and fire half.
The letter also mentioned the teacher Zhou Tong, and asked Youcai to ask Zhou Tong if he was willing to come to the capital. If he was willing to come, he would naturally continue to support him. If he was not willing to come, he would arrange carriage transportation for the teacher.
Another thing is to ask Youcai to go to Earl Ying and Xie Xida and ask them if they are willing to come to the capital. If they are willing, Lin Yi has arrangements.
The letter is quite long.
Several pages thick.
He explained a lot of things,
It also includes the sales of medicine shops and sugar shops, land properties and Peach Blossom Pavilion.
After writing it, seal it and call a servant to deliver the letter to the post office tomorrow.
Actually think about it,
It's a pity that I can't go back to Qinghe to show off. However, the emperor doesn't take holidays. He is required to take office immediately after passing the exam and is assigned. There is a time limit. It is easier for Lin Yi to just stay in the capital.
Don't want this.
The weather is perfect now,
The moonlight was bright tonight and the weather was cool. Lin Yi asked the women to spread blankets on the ground, watch the moon, drink, chat and play games in the courtyard.
What game were you playing?
Of course it's fun.
Full of fun.
eat grape but do not spit out grape skin, do not eat grape but spit out grape skin.
The next day.
As soon as Lin Yi arrived at the work library, someone came to convey a message to His Majesty and asked him to come over. In the eyes of countless people with envy and jealousy, Lin Yi arrived at the palace.
As soon as I entered the main hall, I saw the "Picture of Swallowing Mountains and Rivers" hanging on the wall. It was already painted and hung in the center.
Song Huizong was appreciating paintings,
But today Song Huizong was wearing a purple Taoist robe, and there were several Taoist priests standing next to Song Huizong.
Thoughts flashed through Lin Yi's mind.
This is the world of Water Margin, and there are magic in Water Margin, so Lin Yi pays special attention to these Taoist priests.
I wonder if I can dig out some good stuff from them.
