Chapter 107: Turbulent storm under prosperity

There are many great nobles in the capital, but the Shen family is the most respected and dare not offend!
Shen Dishi is the head of the family. He promoted the imperial examination system and founded the Guoxuetang. Not only did the common people have books to read, they also gave them the opportunity to be officials!
With such a good mind, the people respect it, but also praise it from the heart.
Soon, the carriage arrived in front of Xie Linlang, which happened to separate Xiao Ze and Du Zhiyan.
After a short while, a slender and white hand opened the curtain, and then Shen Junqing, who had a refined temperament and was like a gentleman, stood up and looked at Xie Linlang.
As soon as he appeared, the gate of the city, which was as lively as a bazaar, was suddenly silent.
People wanted to admire the demeanor of the emperor, but they were afraid of offending the nobleman, so they all quietly bowed their heads and worshiped from the heart.
After the emperor came out, he first took a deep look at Xie Linlang, and then looked at Xiao Ze and Du Zhiyan with a smile.
"The emperor, on behalf of the disciples, thanked the two for showing their love, but your majesty has ordered Lin Lang to meet him immediately after returning to Beijing, so..."
His long and narrow phoenix eyes fell on Xie Linlang with a smile, "So Linlang, as a teacher, I will take you into the palace and get in the car."
As soon as he said this, Xiao Ze and Du Zhiyan turned off, and even if the emperor was here, who would dare to steal someone from the emperor?
Xiao Ze was a little unhappy, but he still had to give the emperor's face, so he snorted and said to Xie Linlang.
"Xie Linlang, forget it today, tomorrow Changchun Tower, don't be late if you are a brother!"
After he finished speaking, he drove the man away.
Although Du Zhiyan was not reconciled, she was a bit afraid of the emperor, so she didn't dare to say anything.
Anyway, Xie Lang will definitely stay in the capital in the future, and she will be a long time in Japan. Thinking about this, after a salute to the emperor, she also turned into the carriage.
The surrounding people quietly dispersed a lot. Although the emperor was not as domineering and arrogant as other great nobles, they feared the emperor in their hearts and did not dare to watch, so they left silently.
Only Xie Linlang breathed a sigh of relief and was a little upset at the same time. For some reason, looking at the eyes of the emperor master, she felt like she had come out of the wolf den and entered the tiger's mouth again...
The imperial commissioner hears the words like a pardon! He hurriedly brought people forward to salute, and then returned to the palace first.
Anyway, the emperor said, if you want to bring Xie Linlang into the palace personally, what else can you worry about?
When everyone was gone, Xie Linlang sighed and got off her horse.
She handed the horse to the follower by the emperor's master, and then followed the emperor's master into the carriage.
The curtain was lowered, blocking everyone's sight, Xie Linlang suddenly became nervous in the airtight compartment.
She hadn't been alone with the emperor for a long time, and the eyes of the emperor looked too deep, making her feel breathless...
In order to ease the atmosphere, she began to have nothing to talk to.
"By the way, Master, why don't you see Wen Ling and the others?"
Before Wen Ling and the others would serve on the carriage, they wouldn't be so nervous when they were there.
After the emperor heard the words, he picked up the teapot on one side and made tea for Xie Linlang himself. When the tea was full, he said with a smile.
"They are getting older, so they let them out as a teacher."
In fact, they were only dealt with yesterday. As for where the processing went, the emperor didn't ask, they were just two unimportant maids.
Xie Linlang was a little surprised. The emperor was accustomed to having maids to serve. Since they were married, the housekeeper was responsible for the housekeeping, why didn't they recommend new people?
Just as she was thinking, the emperor pushed the tea cup in front of her.
"Try it, Qingfeng Snow Bud in Yunzhou."
Xie Linlang withdrew his thoughts upon hearing the words and looked down at the light blue tea soup in the thin porcelain teacup, a little surprised.
It is definitely not possible to drink such tea soup in Xiangcheng. Not to mention Xiangcheng, even Jingcheng is also a minority, because Qingfeng Xueya only produces 7 taels a year, which is a tribute, and ordinary people have never heard of it.
There is also a very refreshing incense in the car. If you guess right, it is the "White Rainbow Incense" unique to Huzhou. This kind of incense is a small box of one thousand taels of silver, and it has a price but no market. It is loved by the nobles.
In addition, the inside of the carriage is lined with Lingluo, and the fragrant wood used, and even the thin porcelain tea cup in front of him, is also the pinnacle of the official kiln master Wen Zhongshuo. Xie Linlang secretly calculated that the money for this carriage could give her several ships. Big ship...
She didn't think that the emperor was extravagant, because the aristocratic families in the capital all had this habit. Unless they fell in the family, they would be more exaggerated than the emperor in terms of enjoyment and cards!
Xie Linlang once attended a tea party.
The other party dug a canal in the peach blossom forest, and the water flowing in the canal was full of yellow wine.
On the grass next to the canal, they also spread a whole face of Lingluo, so that people who come to the tea party can sit on the ground, and then use the drinks to play "Mushui Liugu".
Those who lose will drank directly in the ditch, which is really very luxurious.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Many people in the capital have never been out of this city in their entire lives, because they know that outsiders are not refugees or thugs.
But their family holds the lifeblood of the country, what about the continuous money? That must be how extravagant came.
Xie Linlang thought and sighed.
She drank the fragrant tea and looked at the layered yellow glazed tiles outside, only to realize in her heart that she had really returned to the capital.
Seeing Xie Linlang looking out the window all the time, the emperor's master kept staring at her with a vague and deep look.
He marveled at Xie Linlang's talent, but more often, he didn't understand Xie Linlang, but this did not prevent him from admiring her, and from the bottom of his heart, he was eager for her like a wild beast thirsting for blood...
He only heard him whisper, "Lin Lang went to the North for half a year and stayed in Xiangcheng for another year, and finally returned to Beijing, I am afraid that I don't know the capital anymore."
Xie Linlang nodded. The capital in front of her seemed to be a lot more prosperous than she remembered. The neat rows of roof tiles and the bright and spacious streets would be very happy if they only lived here.
The emperor sighed, "Although the capital is good right now, it is only superficial. Lin Lang has been away for too long, I am afraid I don’t know the undercurrents. You originally proposed the imperial examination system and the Guoxuetang were all helping me and benefiting the world. , But recently, someone raised the voice of ending the imperial examination."
The words of the emperor brought Xie Linlang's thoughts back immediately, terminating the imperial examination? why? This is obviously a good thing for those big families!
The emperor understood what she meant, and explained, "Your Majesty has issued a new decree, and that's why the families are eager to move. Once they get messed up, they will be in chaos, so Lin Lang, come back this time, you stay and help me. Right."
Xie Linlang keenly realized that things were not simple, but before she could speak, the carriage suddenly stopped, the emperor frowned, and before the coachman scolded, there was a woman's heart-piercing voice outside.
"Master Di Shi! Save me, save me! I am Wen Ling!"
