Yang Wang shook his head blankly, saying that he only knew Hongnong Yang. And the nobles of Chang'an have never had the share of the Yang family. Besides, several major branches of the Yang clan died at the end of the Sui Dynasty. The rest were in high positions and were not involved in the battle at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and they were also suppressed and breathless.

Looking at the king's house, if it weren't for the tenth lord Yang Shidao who married the daughter of Gaozu and became the master of the horse, he would still be active in the court. Guanwangfang will not become the leading vein of the Yang family's several major branches.

"I haven't heard that there is a Yang family and a lineage in Chang'an. Yang Qingrang thought for a moment before answering his sister very strictly.

"Strange. Could it be that the guard said something wrong?" Jiang Chengzi frowned.

Yang Qingrang sat aside and said worriedly: "Ah Zhi, shouldn't we care about who the Chang'an Yang family is now, right? The old lady—"

Yang Qingrang paused when he said this and looked at Yang Wang.

"What kind of person is the old lady?" Jiang Chengzi wanted to know before.

I only listened to Yang Wang's chatter before, and knew that the old lady was from the Lanling Xiao family, and it was Yang Xiong's side room Fuzheng. He is resolute and decisive, and has a lot of prestige in Hongnong Yang. In addition, Jiang Chengzi didn't know anything about this old lady.

"He is ruthless and extremely fond of control. I don't like people and things that I can't control. Yang Wang stood by the window and looked at Yang Gongren who was gradually moving away in the corridor in the distance, and commented on Mrs. Yang with a few words.

"If that's all, A-Niang and eldest brother don't have to worry, let's just go against her. Jiang Chengzi said.

When Yang Wang heard her say this, he sighed, walked over slowly, hugged her in his arms, and said, "Ah Zhi, you are still young and don't know that people's hearts are sinister. Anyone who can establish authority is ruthless. ”

When Jiang Chengzi heard this, his mood suddenly darkened, leaned on Yang Wang's arms, and muttered: "I see that the eldest master is here, as if he will protect us." ”

"Ah Zhi, don't be too naïve. A-Niang was originally the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family, and her life was full of ups and downs. Later, she became a concubine and married here, although your father is a concubine, but my mother's family is not powerful, and it is not calculated by a side room?"

Jiang Chengzi was also worried that the old lady was ruthless.

To be honest, although she was also born into a famous family in her previous life, the modern family is completely different from the ancient one. The little bit of infighting she knew about the family was all from her grandmother's narrative. Her grandmother came from a big family with strict family rules, and in the era of the collapse of the big family of the Republic of China, it was especially fierce. Grandma was still young, and she suffered greatly from those struggles.

The force value is not enough, and there is no backer. Jiang Chengzi was still a little worried about the upcoming Old Madam Yang.

But she didn't want to add any more misery to the gloomy Yang Wang's family. Therefore, she snuggled in Yang Wang's arms and said coquettishly: "Ah Niang is not worried. In the past, you suffered for me, but now if the old lady comes, I will have my own way to deal with it. ”

"Ah Zhi, alas. You don't do this, A-Niang just hopes that when the old lady comes, you don't say much, and you don't want to be in the limelight. Yang Wang sighed and hugged her tighter.

"Hmm. Jiang Chengzi obediently agreed.

Yang Wang sighed, and urged Yang Qing to go to study, she wanted to take a break.

Jiang Chengzi and Yang Qing asked the brother and sister to withdraw from the room and walk around the courtyard together. Yang Qingrang lowered his voice and asked, "Ah Zhi, do you have a good plan?"

Jiang Chengzi shook his head and said, "There is no good plan. ”

"So what should I do? I've heard that my grandmother was cruel. Yang Qingrang said worriedly.

"One step at a time. When she came here, she must have learned about the situation first. And, let's look at her purpose first. Improvise. Jiang Chengzi comforted him.

She doesn't know what to do, but she's a typical opportunist and should be able to figure out the best strategy based on the situation.

"That's all there is to it. Yang Qingrang sighed.

The siblings stopped talking, and then circled the courtyard to see how many guards there were inside and outside the courtyard walls.

The sun is warm in spring, and the willows are shaking. As the two of them passed by the crockpot, they stopped to look at the sweet potato seedlings.

"Ah Zhi, if it's a critical moment, this thing-" Yang Qing stopped talking.

Jiang Chengzi knew what he meant that if it was a matter of life and death, would he be able to sacrifice this sweet potato seedling to Mrs. Yang to save her life. She immediately shook her head and said, "No." If it really comes to the point where your life and mine are in jeopardy, then even if we hand it over, there will be no way to live. When he was dying, he had to bargain for such a wicked person for nothing. ”

When Yang Qingrang heard this, he also felt that he was reasonable, so he said "um", lowered his eyes and sighed, and said very frustratedly: "I am a brother and a son of man, but at this moment, I am helpless. ”

"Big brother, don't talk nonsense. Most of the things in the world cannot be used to measure a person. What's more, with you, Ah Zhi and Ah Niang have hope. You are a Zheng Zheng man, Taishan should not change his color before the collapse, let alone an old woman, if he is afraid of it, how can he make contributions in the future?" Jiang Chengzi said very strictly.

When Yang Qingrang heard this, he was greatly shocked and sighed: "I have no magic barrier since then, and I am not as knowledgeable as Ah Zhi." ”

Jiang Chengzi smiled and said, "Okay, big brother, you and I will go to rest, recuperate, and when the thieves come, join forces to break the enemy." ”

She said it arrogantly, Yang Qingrang was a child after all, and his blood boiled when he heard it, so he separated from Jiang Chengzi and went to take a lunch break.

Jiang Chengzi said goodbye to Yang Qingrang and returned to his house. Lying on the bed, I fiddled with the stone around my neck to see if I could open up this space and find some quick and effective killer to deal with the old lady directly.

However, it is a pity. The stone in the bag hanging around his neck is still normal, and there is nothing unusual at all.

On that day, how did it be opened? Jiang Chengzi carefully recalled it and did it again, but he still didn't open the space. After repeating it several times, she had to admire her foresight at that time, and first dug up some sweet potatoes and potatoes.

I fiddled with the stones on the bed and found nothing. So she put the stone away. I thought about how to deal with Mrs. Yang when she came. This Yang Wang clan should still have combat effectiveness, so I don't know how effective her is when facing Old Madam Yang.

Jiang Chengzi tossed and turned on the bed, with a lot of clues, but found nothing. Seeing that the light outside the window has dimmed, I think it is almost dusk. She simply got up and went out.

The guards were still standing like straight trees around the courtyard. Yunzhu took a kitchen knife and sharpened it very seriously on the whetstone, with the dim light, it felt very much like a person possessed by a ghost in a horror movie, very infiltrating.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Chengzi asked.

Yunzhu raised her head, tears rolling down, and said, "Ninth girl, the meal is ready, and the fish will be steamed according to your instructions." ”

Jiang Chengzi was startled, and hurriedly asked, "I asked you what you are doing here?"

"If that thief wants to kill them all, I have to fight for my life. Yunzhu looked tragic and dying.

Jiang Chengzi held his forehead, sighed again and again, and said, "You can be a good guy who serves tea and water, and you have to have confidence in us." ”

"Nine girls-" Yun Zhu picked up the bright kitchen knife and said something.

Jiang Chengzi jumped over, grabbed her kitchen knife in a grappling fight, and snatched her kitchen knife in her hand. In her shocked face, she asked, "Yunzhu, look at it, I easily snatched your knife, do you think you can deal with the guards around the old lady?"

Yun Zhu sat on the ground, his face was sluggish, his lips moved, and he didn't speak. Jiang Chengzi wanted to prevent Yunzhu from causing trouble, and immediately asked her to prepare, after all, they were the masters of this grange, and the old lady came, and before she tore her face, she still had to be polite and thoughtful.

When Yunzhu heard this, she felt that what her nine girls said was very reasonable, so she quickly got up and said to prepare and prepare, and she couldn't lose her manners.

Yun Zhu is usually a capable and calm person, and he is a little suspected of collapse at this time, which shows that Old Madam Yang is indeed terrifying. It looks like it's going to be an uphill battle.

Jiang Chengzi lowered his eyes, feeling a little empty in his heart. At this moment, I suddenly heard a commotion in the front yard. In a short time, I heard a lot of people coming this way.

The first to enter the courtyard was a woman in a red skirt, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she shouted loudly: "Where is the Yang Wang's family? I don't know how to count the etiquette, and the old lady is here, and I don't know how to greet her." ”

"The sinner is here, but I don't know that the old lady is coming, and she is not welcome. Yang Wang came out of the house and changed into clean and luxurious clothes, not at all like an ordinary down-and-out woman. Although she calls herself a "sinner", she is neither humble nor arrogant.

The woman snorted coldly, did not speak again, but stood at the door of the courtyard. After a while, a richly dressed old woman walked in slowly with a cane and supported by two maids in green clothes.

Behind her, eight guards carried a large bed and placed it in the courtyard. After the eight guards set up the large bed, four more guards brought in the table. Immediately after that, the maid was busy for a while, put cushions on the big bed, added fruit cakes to the table, and lit sandalwood and canopy in the four corners of the big bed.

The old woman, supported by two maids in Tsing Yi, sat down on the bed.

Only then did Wang Yang bring a pair of children forward, knelt in front of the old woman, and said, "The sinner woman Yang Wang brought a pair of daughters to greet the old lady. ”

"Hmm. The old lady snorted and waved her hand around, and the well-trained maids and guards all withdrew. In the end, only the woman in the red skirt and the two maids in green clothes were left beside her, and Yang Gongren, who had been standing aside, not squinting, only looking at the ground.

"Get up. The old lady waved her hand.

Only then did Yang Wang's family thank him, and pulled Jiang Chengzi and Yang Qingrang, who were kneeling numb, to stand up, and retreated to the side to stand.

"I will come today, and I will not beat around the bush. Nine girls' letters, I received. The old lady said slowly.

"Yes. Jiang Chengzi replied with low eyebrows, originally thinking that the old woman would talk about the solar eclipse next, but unexpectedly, she just glanced at Jiang Chengzi, stared at Yang Wang's eyes, and said slowly: "In this life, what path you take is your own choice." Do you understand?"

The sinner woman knows this. Yang Wang replied, his tone was still neither humble nor arrogant.

The old lady probably didn't like the attitude of the Yang family, so she frowned and said with disgust: "Your mother and son are still members of the Yang family, and you have to do something for the prosperity of the Yang family." ”

"But please ask the old lady to command. Yang Wang's tone was still not salty.

Jiang Chengzi was instantly puzzled, this old woman didn't shout to fight or kill, nor did she say that she was a demon, but said that she wanted their mother and son to contribute to the Yang family. What use value can the three of them, mother and son, be able to come to this remote grange in person to talk about it?

This trick is really unexpected, and I can't understand it at all.
