Chapter 11: Chen's Mother
Speaking of which, he basically hasn't taken care of the family's property or anything over the years.
In front of him is his wife, as the patriarch, who is in charge of these things.
It wasn't until after his wife's death that he took over.
But that's just a slight flip.
I didn't have much time to take care of it, and most of it was put aside.
Now after reading the information, I noticed that the grain production in my account book was indeed not low.
What's even more gratifying is that there are contrasts.
The people near Yang's house, the same year and the same land, but there are a lot less.
I really don't know what to say.
I was surprised and delighted.
This is indeed a great opportunity.
Walking out alive from this position allows you to watch the children grow up.
Watch them marry and marry.
Then he also heard that those who went to rob died on the way.
Dead on the road?
Not one or two.
It's that all the people die.
Then, someone must be killing people.
It is definitely not an ordinary person to be able to carry out a large-scale extermination on the way to Beijing.
And the emperor's treatment, in the end, must be loud thunder and small rain.
When Yang Ling heard about it, he didn't have a big reaction.
It's just crumpling the paper in your hand.
Then he just smiled.
In their eyes, they are afraid that the Yang family is an ant-like existence, and they can decide whether they live or die at will.
Anyway, someone swept the tail at the end.
The force is not small.
Scold!
Then, Yang Ling felt that he was only afraid of his family's hatred, and he couldn't avenge it for the time being.
But just let it go.
He was not reconciled!
Ever since Yu Ying had broken his mind, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
These days, I've been pondering the words that were once proverbs.
Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, fathers, sons.
The king told the minister to die, and the minister had to die.
Is that really right?
As a courtier, he should be loyal to the king according to the three outlines and five constants.
But he was also a father.
If you know that your children will die after their death, they will die by calculation, and they will not die without regrets.
Anyway, now he is unwilling to be loyal to the emperor from the bottom of his heart.
Before he died, some people counted their children.
If they die, won't those people eat their own children?
The emperor's grace is immense.
Let others bear this imperial grace.
For hatred, he also knows that his power is still not big enough.
Or wait!
He is still afraid of imperial power now, but he has more suspicions in his heart.
The whole person has changed.
The heart is cold, except for his family, he will not be moved.
He understood that if he went back, from this moment on, he would have to pay more attention to the situation in the capital.
The current government is very chaotic.
The reason why it's so messy.
It's because Long Live Lord is already an old man, but he has never made a prince.
I'm afraid that some people are in a hurry.
In Yang Ling's opinion, those princes should indeed be anxious.
Already an adult, it turned out to be nothing.
Their father, the emperor, seemed to be alive and well, and there was no possibility of abdication.
Father, Emperor, Emperor.
First the monarch and the minister, then the father and the son.
They were held up by the two big hats of loyalty and filial piety, and they couldn't raise their heads at all.
Speaking of many emperors in the imperial dynasties, very few can live a long life.
All of them are quite expensive, but they don't live long.
Strong pressure to make them die early.
The current emperor has long exceeded the life of ordinary emperors.
Even the older prince has become a father, and he is still a prince with no real power.
The emperor never gave his sons any real power.
The brothers at the bottom have grown up one by one.
No wonder the princes are in a hurry.
Competitors become more numerous.
And the emperor preferred the younger prince.
The older princes have more or less some power.
The addition of new people will inevitably re-divide the interests.
Naturally, contradictions increase.
But Yang Ling knew that the more the prince was happy, the more likely he was to be rejected by the emperor.
For those unlucky princes, even if the emperor doesn't like it very much, he can't allow others to settle accounts.
That's his son.
Unless the new emperor comes to power and is rejected by the new emperor, it is possible to take revenge.
A son and a brother are two different things.
Thinking of this, Yang Ling sneered.
At this moment, he knew that his thoughts were a little unloyal.
Even others will say that he is crazy.
But he couldn't control his thoughts.
He had to admit that the little aunt was very reasonable when she talked about the emperor's words.
He had already noticed it.
I just don't dare to admit it.
Later, it was broken by Yu Ying, and I wanted to believe it in my heart.
But then the situation was slapping him in the face.
The little aunt was not wrong.
Also, loyalty was taken for granted in the eyes of the emperor.
Moreover, the aftermath of loyal ministers is a trivial matter compared with the major events of the court.
It's normal to forget.
But his heart still hurts.
It feels like the outlook on life is being reshaped.
Judging from what happened to the little aunt and her party.
If his family were really in danger, the emperor would end up being a scapegoat.
The scapegoat was deliberately pushed out to show the emperor's selflessness.
The real mastermind behind the scenes, will not be told.
Cut!
Very unpleasant!
Would love to ask why?
But it can only be a little bit of escape from the original death situation.
When Yang Ling was thinking about how to live well.
Yu Ying and her party have also arrived in the capital.
This time it was a thrill.
The boatman was very frightened this time, and he didn't expect that there were so many water bandits.
Fortunately, Yu Ying gave a lot of money.
It's a crushing shock.
And Yu Ying didn't have any thoughts at the moment, and was thinking about how to deal with the people in the Marquis of Chang'an.
Because in front of her now, there are people from the Marquis of Chang'an's Mansion standing in front of her.
Yu Ying was a little surprised, have these people been waiting here?
Supposedly, they shouldn't know when the Yang family will arrive.
It turned out that since the Yang family retreated from the enemy, there was a sensation in the capital.
What a powerful Yang family.
The people of the Marquis Mansion of Chang'an naturally knew about it, so they deliberately sent someone to the dock every day to pick them up.
I've been waiting for days.
I waited until I arrived.
After seeing the boat, I realized that there were elders in the Yang family.
They had to go on board to salute.
"Strange, where is Mother Chen?" someone was very strange.
“......”
The other motioned to shut up.
They didn't expect that Mother Chen's mother had been frightened since she woke up from her deep sleep, and her whole person had become a little nervous.
He shrank in the cabin and did not dare to come out.
Until I heard that the people from the Marquis of Chang'an Mansion had arrived, it was as if I knew that a savior had come.
Hurried in, grabbed his own people, and said in a loud voice: "I'm in the capital, I want to go back to the Hou Mansion quickly." ”
Yu Ying coughed lightly.
Chen's mother stiffened, and then she remembered that she was still on the boat.
The old slave was rude when he saw a familiar person for a while. She hurriedly saluted.
The people of the Marquis Mansion of Chang'an, it feels a little funny to see this scene.
You must know that when Chen's mother was in the Hou Mansion, it was very majestic, and she had to be windy and rainy.
I almost don't recognize Liu's mother now.
It turned out to be white and fat.
Now she has a very pale face, and she has lost a lot of weight.
It has lost dozens of pounds.
Almost unrecognizable.
Fortunately, the voice was Chen's mother.
Chen's mother wanted to say a private word to the people of the Marquis of Chang'an.
I saw Yu Ying say lightly: "Mother Chen wants to go to the Hou Mansion?
With that, she stood up.
The Yang family had already gone to rent a carriage and were already waiting below.
As for other things, let the servants of the Yang family pack up.
I also brought some things for the show.
Yu Ying didn't care much about the people in the Chang'an Hou Mansion.
From what I have just asked, I know that these people are only third-class servants.
Explain one thing: the people of the Hou Mansion of Chang'an do not value the Yang family.
Speaking of which, the slaves were all well dressed.
The Hou Mansion is too luxurious.
The third class is all silk and satin.
No wonder there is not enough money in the public office.
After getting into the car, Yun Xuan said, "I don't know why, I don't like them." ”
"Then don't like it, in life, you can't do everything as you want, and you can't like everything, Dabao. Yu Ying said.
The carriage hit the road and gradually became lively.
Finally enter the capital.
When I got to the Chang'an Hou Mansion, waited.
Yu Ying let people watch, and sure enough, the door did not open.
Of course, she also knows that doors are usually opened only when they are very formal.
When entering as a guest, the entrance door is through the side door.
But apparently not.
Yu Ying nodded at Ah Yi, and saw it jump out of the car, and walked quickly to see that it was about to enter the so-called corner gate.
Ah Yi went back and reported to Yu Ying.
"What?
When Yu Ying heard this, she directly said, "Let's go back to Yang's house." ”
"The door bar of the Hou Mansion is too high, and the sons and daughters of the third grade have to go through the corner door, so the side door can only enter if it is a noble identity. ”
Her voice was not low, and many people could hear her words.
Because there are a lot of idle and boring people in the capital, they don't need to be motivated, and they can't be too sloppy.
Then they like to watch the hilariousness the most.
It happened that someone heard about Yang's family affairs and also joined in the fun.
When I heard this, I laughed.
In fact, as long as you are a serious guest, you can go through the side door.
Unless the people of the Marquis Mansion of Chang'an regard their aunt's children as slaves.
From this point of view, it is natural for people not to enter and die, and let the officials and their dependents go through the door of the slaves, which is a big shelf.
And those carriages were hired by the Yang family, so they naturally listened to the Yang family.
quickly turned around and left the Chang'an Marquis' Mansion.
The slaves of the corner gate jumped to their feet one by one, what happened?
The Yang family has such a big shelf, and they turned around and left, which is a bit troublesome now.
What to do?
They want to stop the car.
But Ah Yi smiled and said, "Dare to fight with me?"
The people of the Hou Mansion were a little cowardly.
I hurriedly looked for someone and returned to the backyard.
Mother Zhen, the old lady of the Hou Mansion in Chang'an, heard that the people from the Yang family had come, so she waited for them to come to visit.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Oh no, no." ”
Zhen's mother is a little old and hasn't heard clearly.
The big girl beside her, Crystal, had already changed her face and hurried out.
And the person who was so stumbling has been stopped.
Crystal Xiaoxiao walked over quickly, and glanced at the person who was stopped, it was a rough mother-in-law.
She should have woken up at this moment and didn't dare to say it out loud.
Seeing the crystal, she quickly smiled.
"What's going on? Why are you screaming? What if you startle your ancestors?"
"It's the old slave's fault. "When the rough woman spoke, she slapped herself in the face.
"What the hell is going on?"
"It's the Yang family......"
Just now, someone has already spoken: "Crystal, the ancestor is in good health." ”
This stunned Crystal, for the voice was somewhat familiar.
But this person looks like she doesn't know much about it, and the whole person is very old.
"You are?"
"It's Mother Chen!" a girl reminded.
"Mother Chen?"
How could it be Chen's mother?
If you look at the crystal again, it really is.
At this moment, Chen's mother described the withered tree, which should have run over, so she was still panting.
She was really anxious, because the surname Yang was too cunning.
This time, the people who went to pick up people in the Hou Mansion were all left behind by her.
Only she, an old woman, rushed to get into the first car.
Otherwise, it might still be on the docks.
"It's me, Crystal, this time the errand was smashed, and I went to the ancestor to confess. ”
"What happened to the Yang family's sister and brother?" asked Crystal.
She asked because she didn't see the two children.
“......”
Mother Chen didn't know what to say for a while, saying that the Yang family's fox spirit was fundamentally separated from the relationship between the young master and the brother and the Hou Mansion.
This timing is unclear.
She was still in a hurry to see Zhen's mother, so she hurriedly shook her head.
Then he said, "Crystal girl, go and pay a little back, and say that the old slave wants to see you." ”
When the crystal looked, something was definitely wrong.
I didn't ask any questions, and walked back quickly.
As soon as I entered, I saw that the people in the room were staring at the door.
She hurriedly saluted and said, "Old lady, Mother Chen is back and waiting under the porch." ”
Zhen's mother smiled and said, "That old man is finally back, let her come in, let my granddaughter and grandson come in together." ”
Crystal had the heart to say something, but there was still no exit.
At this time, the little girl had already lifted the curtain, and saw Chen's mother walking in respectfully.
The whole person was a little excited.
In the car, she had already sorted out what she wanted to say.
I'm going to find an opportunity to get Yu Ying away.
Unexpectedly, when she arrived at the door, the Yang family actually left, which made her a little annoyed.
But there was some joy in my heart, that Aunt Yang was afraid that she would not have a good impression in Zhen's mother in the future.
Then she heard what he said before leaving.
This is saying that the people of the Marquis Mansion of Chang'an did not take the Yang family to heart.
actually let the corner door make her a little unhappy.
In her opinion, what's wrong with the corner door?
She deserves to go through the side door too!
In her opinion, the Chang'an Hou Mansion is the first-class family.
When the Yang family arrives here, they should go through the corner gate.
But in this way, the Yang family's sisters and brothers did not come, which was a big problem for her.
As soon as she saw that the general situation was not good, she hurriedly got out of the car and came back to tell Zhen's mother.
As she ran, she figured out what to do.
Anyway, her errand was a mess.
So as soon as she entered, she knelt down with a thud, and she didn't care about kneeling too quickly, just afraid that her knees would be blue.
Then she said with a little choked up: "Ancestor, the slave's errand has been smashed." ”
“????”
Zhen's mother looked behind her, but found that there was no granddaughter or grandson of her own.
He asked with a calm face, "How did you offend the Yang family?"
Her face is not very good-looking.
Chen's mother is her person, and if she messes things up, doesn't she say that her level of people is not enough.
"No, no, no, it's not an old slave, although the errand was smashed, but the Yang family's sister and brother still followed just now, but when it was time to enter the mansion, the Yang family left. ”
Of course, Chen's mother will not bear the ultimate guilt herself.
It's not her anyway, get out of the corner door.
"What's going on?"
"The old aunt and grandmother of the Yang family, who came with her sister and brother just now, said that let the daughters and daughters-in-law of the third-grade officials go to the corner gate, and their Yang family will not leave. ”
"Corner Gate?" said Zhen's mother with some unsession.
Relatives like them usually go through the side door, how can they go through the corner door?
Civilian officials, in particular, pay more attention to the issue of character and bones.
The Yang family just left immediately, and others not only won't say rudeness, but will only praise them.
But she also disliked it.
In her opinion, the Yang family doesn't know much about reason, and they don't have literacy.
