The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 11 Professional Face Protection
What's left is.

Naturally, the officials will argue about the three things mentioned in the palace just now, but the emperor must have an attitude.

What to do? Even if Zhao Ji wanted to think about it, he didn't have the ability.

Liang Shicheng raised these three matters and thought of a way to respond to Zhao Ji in the palace tomorrow. It is very likely that the Empress Dowager will go to the palace tomorrow to listen.

At this time, outside the front palace and the main hall.

Zhang Xianggong was angrily scolding Wu Juhou: "You, you, the official has newly ascended the throne. Even if you plan to establish authority for the new law, you must choose a good time and a good event. Even if you choose this matter, you must catch the rightful owner on the spot. In the main hall, why didn't you discuss this with me beforehand?"

Wu Juhou's true inner thoughts are.

I am also a bachelor of Longtuge, and I have the authority to know Kaifeng Mansion.I am not your little brother, nor am I your disciple.

All I can say is that we belong to the same family.

However, now that he has messed up, he still needs Zhang Xianggong's help, so he can only bow his head and listen to the instructions.

Zhang Xianggong also felt that his words were too harsh, so he softened his tone and said, "Let him go. If you can't swallow this breath, arrange for capable people to keep an eye on him. If there is one, there will be two. If the real owner is caught next time, let him go." Not too late. I will take care of the rest."

"Yes." Wu Juhou nodded.

At noon, Cao Yang and Liang Xin came out of the prison.

Facing the afternoon sunshine, Liang Xin stretched.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Liang Xin and Cao Yang.

Liang Xin could clearly see a woman.

The woman, who is no shorter than Liang Xin, wears an emerald green dress. She is rarely seen without jewelry on her head. Her hair is tied like a man's, with a clawed face and a small mouth...

Before Liang Xin could take a closer look, she saw a fist coming towards her eye socket.

"Stop..." Liang Xin shouted loudly, her fist stopped in front of her face.After shouting, Liang Xin looked at Cao Yang. Cao Yang was bowing to her, and his meaning was obvious.

Liang Xin sighed and quickly picked up the cushion on the carriage to cover her face: "Go on."

I can't fight anymore.

The woman turned to look at Cao Yang. Cao Yang quickly grabbed the cushion Liang Xin was holding and put it in front of her face.

The woman said at this time: "Our Cao family has followed Taizu, and we are already the seventh generation. It is not appropriate to keep the family. At present, both father and brother in the family are working for the court. After the death of mother and Sanniang, only you and me are at home. .More importantly, we must protect our family tradition and property, and don’t let our father and brothers outside worry.”

After saying these words, the woman glared at Liang Xin, turned around, got into the carriage, and left first.

Cao Yang took a long breath.

Liang Xin asked: "Who is this?"

"Sister, she is one month older than me and belongs to the Zong family." Cao Yang and Liang Xin got on the carriage together and told the story of their family.

Liang Xin understood clearly that since Cao Yang's second uncle, the one named Cao Shi, passed away as a princess and his wife, his indulgence and seducing had not only ruined his body, but also ruined the reputation of the Cao family.

Liang Xin sighed inwardly: Cao Yang's second uncle Cao Shi was probably full of ambitions, but he couldn't join politics because he married a princess, and his heart was suppressed for half his life.

Cao Yang added: "My sister is not here to protect me, but to pay the fine."

"A fine?" Liang Xin was very curious. He knew that Kaifeng Mansion was very good, but he was not so good as to punish the Cao family.

Cao Yang: "According to the Song Dynasty law, if you are not married at the age of fifteen, you will be fined [-] coins, and an additional two hundred coins will be added every year. If you are not married at the age of [-], it will be doubled, and the parents will sit together. In fact, it is enough to send a mother-in-law from the family. Even if you don't marry, the Kaifeng Mansion will be punished. I didn’t dare to come to collect the money. But my sister came to pay the fine in person. This year, I’m afraid the fine will be one thousand yuan.”

"Oh!" Liang Xin didn't expect it to be like this, and thought she was here to save them from prison.

With an oh sound, Liang Xin felt it was inappropriate and asked again: "With the momentum of your Cao family, the number of people seeking marriage should be queued up to the south of the Yangtze River."

Cao Yang laughed loudly: "The young prince of the Duke of Wei proposed marriage at first, but my sister said she wanted to see him, and then she beat him up in Fanlou and kept him in bed for half a month. The two waiters escaped from Bianjing overnight. Sent to Jiangnan."

"Moreover, after half a year, I won't mention who it is. The Marquis's family, like me, is in Panlou. Then there is the Marquis's Mansion, then the Duke's Mansion, and... now, you know."

Liang Xin asked: "Is it because of your second uncle Cao Shi?" "Yes." Cao Yang nodded.

Liang Xin was a little confused: "You have younger brothers and younger sisters. Her family should also have one."

"Concubine." Cao Yang only said these two words.

That's right.

The distinction between concubine and concubine is very strict. If a concubine dares to mess around outside, his legs will be broken and he will be locked up in the house and not allowed to go out. But Cao Yang is different. He cannot be locked up at home no matter what.

After sending Liang Xin home, Cao Yang went home.

After entering the house, he didn't go back to his own courtyard. He went to the main courtyard first.

Cao Tan.

He stretched his bow and nocked an arrow, and hit the target seventy steps away.

Seeing Cao Yang come back, Cao Tan asked: "Why do you associate with such a bad person?"

When Cao Yang heard the word "unbearable", he got a little excited: "Unbearable? If brother Xin can enter the exam, he will definitely pass. He has great talents. I tell the truth. Last time you beat him, I blamed him, but he No complaints at all. Last night..."

Cao Yang simply wanted to win back this face for himself and for Liang Xin.

His confidence came from the fact that an oiran came forward last night, but Liang Xin refused.Based on this alone, he can speak confidently.

After hearing this, Cao Tan asked: "Seriously?"

Cao Yang: "There are so many eyes in Taiqing Tower, so I won't be blind."

Cao Tan still didn't believe it: "If he can write such a poem at his age, I'm afraid someone will catch him."

Catch the knife!

At that time, Cao Yang saw it with his own eyes and believed that Liang Xin composed the lyrics himself.

Cao Yang was afraid of Cao Tan, but at this time he still wanted to speak for Liang Xin. Cao Yang asked, "What do you want?"

Cao Tan: "Write another song."

"Okay." Cao Yang responded: "Here comes..."

Cao Tan: "Hold on, prepare the car. I'll wait in the car outside the door."

"Okay." Cao Yang was confident because the question was written by Liang Xin, and no one on the scene said that the two poems were plagiarized.Composing another one on the spot, even if it is not as good as the two lyrics written in advance, should not be too bad.

Prepare the car.

Where is Liang Xin?

He was digging a small hole to burn firewood at home, and he was going to roast some walnuts to replenish his brain.

Someone knocked on the door.

Liang Zhong trotted to open the door. Cao Yang stood at the door and shouted into the door: "Brother Xin, my sister is on the carriage and questions whether you copied the lyrics last night. Can you compose a new poem immediately?"

After shouting, Cao Yang added: "I must compose a song for my sister."

Liang Xin, who was sitting next to the small firewood pile, heard the shouting and sat there thinking.

After a while, Cao Tan, who was sitting in the carriage, heard clearly.

The graceful Yan Ji is seventeen years old. She is used to dragging her long train instead of taking slender steps.When everyone in the crowd looks at each other, the color of the world is like dust.The flowers blooming in the pavilion of a tree are all natural and speechless.Wu Niang praised her good dancing in front of her, but unfortunately she was always mistaken for her waist.

Occasionally.

The Cao family is from the north
