On the eighth day of August, Yang Quanqi led his tribe to leave Tangyi and go to Baling, Jingzhou.
Seeing the tribesmen boarding the boat and sailing up the river, with the shadow of the sail gradually disappearing between the green mountains on both sides of the bank, Yang Anxuan couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.
Uncle Yang Ming stayed behind, stroking his beard and sighed: "I traveled around with my ancestor first and then my father. Now that I am over sixty years old, it is a blessing to live in Tangyi until the end of my life."
Yang Lin stepped forward to support his father and said with a smile: "Dad, you have a strong body, and the Tangyi people still need you to take care of them."
After taking over the noodle shop business for more than ten days, if An Xuan gave his father 20% of the profit for retirement, he would have more than 4,000 yuan a month.
The clan purchased 500 acres of fertile land for his father in the west of Tangyi City, which was enough for the family to live comfortably.
Besides, Yang Anxuan was serving as the sixth-grade East Palace Attendant in Beijing, and he was more powerful than his two brothers. In the future, Yang Anxuan would be the thickest thigh in the clan. Yang Lin looked at his father with admiration, and he was very scheming.
Yang Anxuan smiled and said: "Anxuan is young and ignorant, and he still needs some guidance from his uncle, and a lot of help from his uncle Lin."
Yang Ming said happily: "We are all family members, no need to be polite, just go back."
The Imperial Attendant of the East Palace does not have to be on duty in the palace. Yang Anxuan enters the palace at midnight every day, leaves the palace at Shen Zheng, and bathes once every five days. His life is relaxed and happy.
On August 12, Xu Xuan came from Jingkou and brought a bonus of 200 taels of gold.
"Young Master, it is said that we can get more than a hundred taels more, but Shu Niang wants to buy the house next to Shulan Courtyard to expand the scale, and let Yu come to discuss with the Young Master." Xu Xuan said carelessly.
Yang Anxuan touched the golden hard object with his hand, not panicking because he had money in his hand.
This time, he paid 600 taels of gold to buy land for his family in Baling. When his father left Tangyi, he secretly gave his mother a hundred taels of gold. Li'er and Qiu'er each gave 50 taels of gold, leaving two hundred taels of nothing. Come on, I'm short of money.
The 50% bonus from the six noodle restaurants is about 13,000 to 13,000 yuan per month. However, after becoming a student in the East Palace, his circle of friends has expanded, and this amount of money is really not enough.
A few days ago, I was thinking about how it would be nice to win another hundred taels from Diao Yun after not seeing him for a long time.
Indicating Zhang Feng to put the money away, Yang Anxuan said: "Since Shulan Yuan has entrusted you to take care of it, you can just keep it and show it to Yu once every six months. Also, there is no need to spend money. The province, the Beifu Army, especially General He, should pay no less attention to it, and we must remember the filial piety of the four seasons and eight festivals."
Xu Xuan felt relieved and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir, the property given to General He this year has been sixty or seventy taels of gold. General He sent people to help settle several incidents in the building."
Yang Anxuan asked a few questions about the management of Shulan Yuan, and He Qian took care of it. Everything was on track, and those green men did not dare to come to blackmail.
Xu Xuan's eyebrows were dancing and she said: "Thanks to the young master's new music, Shulan Courtyard's business is booming, and the people who come to listen to the music every day are unable to sit down. Shuniang feels that the place is a bit small and wants to expand the business."
Having said this, Xu Xuan looked at Yang Anxuan eagerly and said: "Sir, Shulan Yuan has released seven new songs, and only two songs are left. When I came this time, I wanted you to write a few more songs." .”
Yang Anxuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Yu is ready."
He stood up, went to the desk, took out an envelope, and said: "There are eight new lyrics here. If you save a little, they can last for a year. As for the music, I'll trouble you to compose it yourself."
Xu Xuan was overjoyed. With Yang Anxuan's new lyrics, his inspiration must be flowing like a fountain. In the future, when people talk about great songwriters, his name will be indispensable.
Looking at Xu Xuan, he had to start reading new words. Yang Anxuan said: "Brother Xu, don't be impatient. You still have something to say."
Xu Xuan reluctantly put the envelope beside him, looked away with difficulty, and said with a smile: "Master, please give me your instructions."
"Brother Xu, does he know about noodle shops?"
"Yu heard it from a customer in a brothel, saying that the Yangchun noodles in the noodle shop are sweet, spicy and appetizing, and the buns and steamed buns are delicious. They don't sell many of them every day. When Yu came to Jiankang this time, he wanted to try them. "Xu Xuan laughed.
Yang Anxuan smiled and said: "This noodle shop is a business of the Yang family. Yu intends to open two in Beijing. When you go back, you will find a good shop for Yu. Then Yu will send someone to find you." Xu Xuan is an old Jianghu, and what is in his mind After the call was transferred, the smile on his face remained unchanged and he said: "Don't worry, Sir, I will take care of this matter when I get back. Young Master will send someone at any time."
Yang Anxuan glanced at Xu Xuan and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xu, don't be suspicious. I don't care about a little money. Yu opened a noodle shop in Beijing not to monitor Shulan Yuan, but for other purposes."
The words were so decisive that there was no room for doubt. Xu Xuan sat upright and said seriously: "This is the heart of a villain named Xu. Please give me your instructions."
"Starting from next month, use 20% to 30% of Yu's dividends to help those poor people, the poor and the poor, and to make friends with capable people with lofty ideals, in the name of Shulan Yuan." Yang Anxuan ordered: "The money only needs To keep accounts, just let me know once every six months."
Although Xu Xuan didn't understand Yang Anxuan's intention, he was definitely doing something big by using a hundred taels of gold to help the poor and make friends with capable people.
Thoughts arose in my mind, and I looked at Yang Anxuan's young face. Maybe I should not just focus on the one-third of an acre of the brothel. If I could follow the footsteps of the young master, I would be able to make contributions and become a court official in the future.
Thinking of this, Xu Xuan said with emotion: "Please rest assured, Master, Xu knows."
After talking about the business, Yang Anxuan asked with a smile: "Hu Yuan followed Miao Lan to Jingkou. Did he win the heart of the beauty?"
Xu Xuan shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Miao Lan is only grateful to Mr. Hu, and has no feelings of love between men and women. I have tried to persuade Mr. Hu in private, but Mr. Hu said that love is so deep that it is difficult for him to do so."
Yang Anxuan thought for a while and said: "Hu Yuan staying by Miao Lan's side all day long annoyed her. When the noodle shop opens, let him take care of it, so that the two of them can see each other conveniently without having to be together all day long. Maybe There will be a turnaround."
Xu Xuan said with emotion: "Young Master has a kind heart. If Master Hu knew about it, he would definitely shed tears of gratitude."
Yang Anxuan waved his hand and said: "The key lies in Miao Lan. I hope it can be helpful."
Xu Xuan looked at Yang Anxuan and swallowed his words again. He heard his wife Wei Shu reveal that Miao Lan might have a secret affection for the young master, but seeing that the young master didn't have any thoughts, it was better not to reveal the matter.
Yang Anxuan's thoughts turned from Hu Yuan to Hu Zhang. His father had lost his official position as the prefect of Tangyi. Maybe Hu Zhang in Panlong Mountain would have some thoughts.
From Yuan He's letter to himself, it can be seen that Hu Zhang and his son are recruiting troops. Panlong Mountain is stronger than Sun Tao. This man who keeps claiming to be his lord, in addition to his humble words, only talks about the state of the mountain. skip.
I am far away in Jiankang, out of reach. I am afraid that this move may go out of control. It is useless to rely on Hu Yuan alone.
…………
On the 24th, Yin Dun came to visit with a happy face.
The newly promoted concubine brother of the crown prince became famous in Jiankang City, and the children of the aristocratic families rushed to make friends. If it were not for the friends of the underworld who went to Xinye, the people who went to the underworld to propose marriage would have stepped down the threshold.
In the study, Yin Dun pulled up the chair and sat down, stretched his legs, felt it, and said with a smile: "I will follow An Xuan's example and install the chair and bed in the study. It is really comfortable to sit on."
Shi Cao came in with a tray to serve tea, and she and Ding Rong became Yang Anxuan's maids.
After getting along for more than a year, Yang Anxuan saw that Ding and Shi were both honest people, so he trusted them to take care of the family affairs. In order to retain people, their wages were increased by 50%. This made Ding Mian and Shi Qing feel grateful to their masters and work more diligently.
In April this year, the Ding and Shi families discussed their marriage, and Shi Cao promised Ding Shi that they would get married in two years.
After Zhao Tian's wife Tian came to Jiankang with her daughter Zhao Xuan and Zhang Feng's mother-in-law, Yang Anxuan gave them the tasks of making noodles and making spicy oil.
The Yang family went to Baling. Yang Anxuan originally wanted Zhang Lan to stay in Jiankang with his mother, but Zhang Lan insisted on following Yang Qiu.
There are parents who don't want their children to stay with them, but Sun firmly supported her daughter, saying that people cannot be ungrateful, which deeply moved Yang Anxuan.
The tea is Bichun tea. The Yin family specially selected the best tea and delivered it. This year, all the tea from Yinjiazhuang was made into Bichun tea, which was sold very well in Jiankang tea shops. Many tea merchants went to Xinye, hoping to buy new tea from Yinjiazhuang.
The Yang family originally planned to make new tea in Tangyi, but Yang Quanqi was repeatedly criticized and the purchase of tea mountains was shelved.
This time the Yang family moved to Baling. Yang Liang took people to buy land and mountains first. He wrote in a letter that he had bought a thousand acres of tea mountains in advance. By next year, the Yang family's new tea would also be on the market.
Yin Dun took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "An Xuan, Brother Yu is here to tell you good news. Your cousin Yang Yuding is in the fourth rank."
Yang Anxuan knew that after his father was dismissed from office, Yin Youqi could still put a lot of pressure on Yang Yuding as a fourth-rank official. His seventh uncle Yang Shangbao should be satisfied.
After toasting Yin Dun with tea instead of wine, Yang Anxuan said, "After Uncle Yin returns to Beijing, Yu will make a special trip to express his gratitude."
Yin Dun smiled and said: "My father helped me, and brother Yu was also hurt. An Xuan, you have to repay Yu."
Yang Anxuan joked: "Brother Yin is a new rich man in Beijing. Countless people are vying to please and befriend him. If you want to repay him, you have to queue up."
Yin Dun pointed at Yang Anxuan with his hand and said, "You are still stupid. There are so many people surrounding you these days. I'm afraid there are people waiting for you before you leave the East Palace."
There are discerning people everywhere in the capital. Yang Anxuan was selected as the lecturer of the East Palace, and he caught the eye of the emperor and the king of Kuaiji. Although Wang Xie and other top families deliberately snubbed Yang Anxuan, the second-tier families were vying to make friends with him.
Yang Anxuan was well aware of the principle of being carried in a sedan chair. He almost always showed up when invited. He was courteous, kind and took the initiative to treat guests. He met many celebrities, low-level officials and even poor people.
At an elegant gathering, Yang Anxuan wrote a poem praising the famous official Mao Wen, "Don't leave the mulberry trees at night, and the sky will be full of clouds." Mao Wen praised him greatly and made him famous among the scholars in the capital. Yang Anxuan was gradually Sergeant Jing Shilin accepted.
Yin Dun said with some embarrassment: "An Xuan, Wang Xiezhi, the assistant minister of Huangmen, has invited you several times to go to Shenghua Residence to drink with you. You want to serve as an attendant in the East Palace. His father is the prince's young master. If you can make friends with him, , I have some kind of care in the East Palace."
Wang Xiezhi's intention was obvious, and he was just here for his new song, but what Yin Dun said was also reasonable. Although he was not afraid of being squeezed out by Xie Hun and others in the East Palace, if Wang Ya took care of him, his life might be better. Live more comfortably.
At Xu time the next day, Yang Anxuan and Yin Dun came to Shenghua Residence together. Wang Xiezhi and Feng Niang stood in front of the gate to greet them with smiles on their faces. In the elegant room separated by screens in Tingfeng Tower, Feng Niang took several beautiful women with her. The accompanying waiter drinks wine, speaks crisply and coquettishly, and the fragrant wind floats, making people confused and confused.
After drinking for three minutes, Feng Niang sat down with her fragrant and soft body next to Yang Anxuan, and said with a sweet smile: "The slave family really envy Madam Wei and Madam Xiaolan. Yang Shidu wrote many new songs for them, and their songs became popular all over the world. Everyone knows it. Speaking of which, when Yang Shidu first came to the capital to fight with others, he was in the Shenghua Residence of the slave family."
"I saw that Lady Xiaolan became famous in Qinhuai after being trained by Yang Shidu, and later I heard about Lady Wei and Lady Xing." Sincerity flashed in Feng Niang's eyes, and she said: "Yang Shidu does not look down on the prostitutes, but With great pity, Feng Niang would like to offer a toast to Yang Shidu."
Yang Anxuan smiled and raised his glass: "Thank you, Feng Niang, for the compliment. Please."
Feng Niang drank all the wine in the cup and leaned against Yang Anxuan as if she was too drunk. She exhaled like a orchid and said: "Shenghuaju originally had a small reputation in Qinhuai, but Shulan Courtyard in Jingkou keeps releasing new songs. Now the guests are all It is said that Jingkou Fengyue is better than Qinhuai, and it is all Mr. Yang’s fault."
Yang Anxuan smiled and said: "Feng Niang made the mistake of blaming Yu. Yu is in Jiankang City, facing Qinhuai Fengyue."
Wang Xiezhi raised his glass and invited him: "An Xuan's words about the wind and moon of Qinhuai are the most touching. Today I will only talk about the wind and moon. Come, let's drink."
Since Yang Anxuan came to the banquet, a new poem could not escape. Wang Xiezhi toasted enthusiastically. As long as Yang Anxuan is locked up, there is no need to worry about Shenghuaju's business not being prosperous.
On September 12th, all the prostitutes in Qinhuai competed for the title of oiran. The red-sleeved lady from Shenghuaju beat all the other girls and won the title of oiran with her song "I can't help but be enchanted, the west wind blows behind the curtain, and people are thinner than yellow flowers." Two songs about lovesickness are among the top five.
On September 16, the prince's young master Wang Ya commended Yang Anxuan with the word "Gongjin".
On September 18, the new song "Peacock Flying Southeast" was sung in the palace, and Emperor Sima Yao composed it for drinking and listening to the music all night long.
