Chapter 34: The Old Fox's Abacus
Seeing the solemn atmosphere, Old Madam Yang sighed slowly and said, "Fortunately, in the thousand-year-old family, the children of the Yang family are all talented, and your majesty is also a Ming monarch today. She paused at this point and slowly stood up, Yang Yuanshu had a quick eye, and quickly lowered her head to support her.
Jiang Chengzi sat on the narrow pony and thought to himself: This old woman is up and down, and the rhythm of the conversation is good, but I don't know what kind of calculations she is making and what she is calculating.
She glanced at Yang Wang and Yang Qingrang, the two of them looked cautious, and they didn't seem to know the old woman's intentions.
The two didn't speak, but after the old woman got up, Yang Wang and Yang Qingrang immediately stood up, and Yunzhu also pulled Jiang Chengzi by the way, signaling her to get up.
After Jiang Chengzi stood up, Yang Gongren on the main seat also stood up and reached out to help Old Madam Yang. In ancient times, there were many rules, in a room, the elders never sit, and the juniors sat without understanding the rules and had no tutor.
The old lady waved her hand and said again and again: "Sit down, sit down, don't be formal." ”
As she spoke, she took the lead in sitting down, and ordered someone to move a small Mazha for Yang Yuanshu, and a group of people sat down.
Only then did the old lady begin to gossip about the fact that His Majesty is the Ming Monarch today, and the day before yesterday, Concubine Enzhun Shu went home to save her relatives and gave the Yang family supreme glory. In addition, Concubine Shu went home to save her relatives, in addition to choosing the ladies of the Yang family to match the three princes, she also gave some gaps. Although these omissions are not important positions, they are at least to give Yang's sons some opportunities to display their talents, and he will always have a bright future.
When she said this, Jiang Chengzi's heart lit up, remembering what the old woman said yesterday, and secretly thought: This old woman found them early in the morning, and said these words, isn't it to leave an official vacancy for Yang Qingrang, and open a small favor to let the three of them leave this grange? It's just that Yang Qingrang is too young, even if it is hereditary, he is not yet old.
She thought to herself that the Yang Wang clan had taken advantage of the old lady's pause in speech and said, "This is excellent, the Yang ancestor blesses you." ”
Yang Wang's tone was neither salty nor light, and he was dignified and decent when he talked about this meeting. After finishing speaking, she still sat on the pony with her eyebrows bowed and her head down, looking like she was "listening to the teachings".
The Yang Wang family is so cautious, of course Yang Qingrang and Jiang Chengzi will not interject uninterestingly, and they also sit on the side, looking very tutored.
The old lady sighed a few times before she said in a heavy tone: "Since the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, the Yang family has built a thousand-year-old foundation and has been a prince for generations. But in our hands, we are really speechless to see our ancestors. ”
"Old lady, don't blame yourself. Yang's millennium is also a period of ups and downs. A family, just like a person, is like this, and life experiences are like this. Moreover, we have experienced the brilliance of the Sui Dynasty, and it is natural to welcome the loneliness after the brilliance in the new dynasty. Yang Gongren persuaded the old lady in a calm tone.
When Jiang Chengzi heard this, he couldn't help but look up at the old man with white hair on the throne.
The day before yesterday, because they were still hostile to each other, under the-for-tat, she looked at the old man from her own point of view, and only felt that the old man was cold, pedantic, inflexible, and extremely annoying.
Now, each other is no longer life and death, from a different point of view, Yang Gongren's remarks on the facts show that he has seen the ups and downs of officialdom over the years, and he has seen everything in life thoroughly, and his age and experience have made him an out-and-out wise man.
Jiang Chengzi was impressed by this person in an instant, and even had a good impression. It's just that she thought that Yang Gongren in history didn't live for a few years when he was in Zhenguan, and she was very emotional.
The old lady made a straight face, glanced at Yang Gongren unhappily, and said: "If everyone thinks like you, who will bear the responsibility of the revitalization of the Yang family? ”
Yang Gongren was reprimanded, his face was not good-looking, but he didn't dare to attack his mother, so he had to sit on the main seat and keep silent.
There was silence all around, only the breeze outside the house gently blowing, causing the wind chimes under the eaves to jingle crisply. Jiang Chengzi obviously felt that the silence in the room was turning into a low pressure that was turning back and forth in the room.
After a long time, the old lady exhaled lightly, sighed and said, "That's it, today is a private meeting of the family, but I am too careful." ”
"The old lady cares about the Yang family, and she is strict everywhere, and as a junior, she has benefited a lot from being a strict teacher. Yang Yuanshu's voice is soft, and every word is a high level of slapping horses.
Jiang Chengzi, who was already disgusted with her, was even more disgusted for no reason at the moment. In Jiang Chengzi's opinion, people like Yang Yuanshu are the kind of sluts who pretend to be pitiful and weak when they are in school, commonly known as green tea bitch.
"Yuan Shu is knowledgeable and reasonable, and he is smart and beautiful, which is actually the blessing of the Yang family. Old Madam Yang changed her words, and from the thousand-year-old foundation of the Yang family, she talked about Yang Yuanshu.
Yuan Shu thanked the old lady for the compliment. Yang Yuanshu immediately knelt on the ground and bowed.
As soon as these two sang and harmonized, Jiang Chengzi felt super disgusting. However, she was disgusted and disgusted, but she still followed Mrs. Yang's words in her heart and carefully analyzed the purpose of her words.
She was still nauseous while analyzing. The old lady has helped Yang Yuanshu up, and immediately praised Yang Yuanshu for being smart and beautiful since she was a child, learning to be rich and five cars, and surpassing many people at a young age, the most important thing is to be knowledgeable, smart and obedient.
When the old lady said the word "obedient", her tone was a little heavy, as if she deliberately emphasized.
Jiang Chengzi had been analyzing the old lady's purpose before, and when he heard these two words, he immediately lowered his eyebrows and smiled, and his heart was like a mirror.
The old lady was born in the Xiao clan of Lanling, and after she got married, she was in the Yang clan of Hongnong, and all she saw was the demon moths of the house infighting, and she had already experienced a pair of fiery eyes. Can she not know what kind of character Yang Yuanshu is? At this time, she also praised this woman to the sky, but she was just praising them to listen.
The reason why he praised them to these people, Jiang Chengzi thought that he just wanted to say that this woman's conditions in all aspects, especially in terms of obedience, were the most suitable for marrying the third prince.
Then, next, the old lady must talk about marriage.
Jiang Chengzi's heart is like a mirror at the moment. Sure enough, the old lady paved the way, paused for a moment, and then changed the conversation, saying that the Yang family's thousand-year-old foundation, the successive ministers, is undefeated in this time, and it is defeated in the hands of our generations.
"We're going to do our best. Yang Yuanshu immediately agreed, looking knowledgeable. Yang Qingrang and Jiang Chengzi, as juniors, also had to stand up and show their determination.
The old lady raised her sleeves to soothe her tears, and for a while, she seemed to be moved to tears, and said very excitedly: "Okay, good, you are all good children, sit, sit." ”
The three thanked the old lady and sat down one by one. Only then did the old lady say: "The children of the Yang family should be so united. ”
"Yes. The three of them replied in unison.
The old lady said that the concubine was provincial, and the biggest thing was to choose the lady of the Yang family as the concubine for the three princes, matching the three princes. But Concubine Shu is also a beloved son, and before choosing a concubine, you must first read your birthday stickers. The day before yesterday, the birthday stickers of the sisters and sisters in the ancestral house of the king of the palace were all given to Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu invited Li Chunfeng to come together, and looked at those birthday stickers, all of them were denied, and let the Yang family take the birthday stickers of the ladies in other places or other rooms to take a look, if there is no suitable one, this matter is not easy to do.
"Therefore, the old lady asked Ah Zhi to hand over the birthday sticker this time, in fact, it was to make her-" Yang Wang's very surprised look.
Jiang Chengzi knew that his mother's heart was like a mirror, and the surprise at this time must be pretended. She can't be a wooden person, at this time, she must show something. Therefore, when she was surprised by Wang Yang's family, she immediately made a shy appearance and said, "Ah Niang, you don't talk nonsense, I won't marry any prince." I want to be with my mother. ”
"Silly Azhi, marriage with the royal family, this is the bright future of the Yang family. If you can marry the royal family, it can be regarded as a modest contribution to the Yang family. Yang Wang still looked overjoyed.
Yang Qingrang also joked stupidly on the side, saying: "Ah Zhi, when I was a child in the ancestral house, I heard that the three princes were smart and heroic when they were young. ”
"That's also hearsay, anyway, ignore you. She looked shy.
I have never been coquettish in my previous life, and I have never shown the shyness of my daughter's family. Now that I'm doing a show here, I'm actually doing a full set. Jiang Chengzi was full of emotion in his heart.
The old lady coldly watched the three of them go crazy, and she was only sarcastic in her heart, and she was too eyeless, and she had done so much foreshadowing. No, she can't let these three people continue to go crazy, otherwise, if she waits for a while, she won't be able to say what she wants to say.
So, she cleared her throat and said, "You three sit down." ”
The three of Yang Wang's mother and son sat down at this time, looking like they were listening to the teachings, and the corners of their eyes and eyebrows were still showing joy. Jiang Chengzi didn't think that her mother didn't understand the old lady's words, but at this time, the smile on the corner of her lips was trying to hold back.
Tsk, my own wife's acting skills are really at the peak! Jiang Chengzi withdrew his gaze from his wife's face, and couldn't help but glance at Yang Yuanshu. Although the woman's face was calm, the light in her eyes when she looked at Jiang Chengzi was like looking at a poor worm.
Fuck your uncle, bitch! Jiang Chengzi slandered in his heart. Thinking that his male god will be occupied by this green tea in the future, his heart is as disgusting as swallowing 10,000 flies. However, fortunately, in history, the male god doesn't seem to be very fond of the Yang family, but prefers another concubine, the Xiao family.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengzi has a vulgar schadenfreude mentality, if it weren't for this kind of occasion, with her character, it is estimated that she would have made an unclear "hehehe" mockery to Yang Yuanshu.
"It's true that the birthday sticker of the nine girls is taken to let Concubine Shu choose. But the nine girls grew up in the grange since they were children, although they are smart and beautiful, but in the end, the etiquette is not enough, and the temperament is wilder. If you enter a high-ranking family, it's a little better. But if you are in the royal family, if you are not careful, you may cause death, and even bring disaster to the Yang family. Yang Wang, as the mother of the nine girls, you must also want her to be peaceful. The old lady said slowly, and it seemed to be very reasonable.
The smile that Yang Wang had tried to hold back before didn't have time to fade, so he stared at his lips, and his whole face looked surprised and inexplicable. She looked at the old lady, then bit her lip and said, "Yes, as a mother, I only want my children to be peaceful." ”
