Yang Yichen, who inherited Yang Kang's title, has become another important minister of the Great Ming Kingdom.
In order to reward Yang Yichen's contribution to the Great Ming Kingdom, Emperor Zhu Qiuhuai asked people to carry out large-scale repairs and expansions of the Yang Mansion.
Because he knew that Mulan and Yang Yichen liked to learn martial arts, Zhu Qiuhuai also deliberately built a martial arts arena in the back garden of Yang's mansion.
Two rows of wooden shelves are lined up on the left and right, and eighteen weapons are neatly arranged, here, it can be said that it is Mulan's favorite place.
In the lobby of the Yang Mansion, on the newly renovated doorway, the thick gold paint was painted with the four big characters of "Mighty Quartet".
And these four words were also inscribed by Emperor Zhu Qiuhuai himself.
It can be said that in addition to the things that can only be used by the royal family, the best things have been used in the Yang Mansion.
In the kitchen, all kinds of pots and pans are also the best products in the official kiln, but these things, in the hands of Mulan Ming, have become handicrafts and are placed in the kitchen, and I don't know how to use them.
However, Stygian Mulan does not all do not touch these utensils, and when it comes to festivals, Stygian Mulan will still make some food for the family.
Especially on March 3, Mulan will also make wine-stuffed balls for Yang Yichen in accordance with traditional customs.
It's just that the wine-stuffed balls made by Dark Mulan are afraid that in the world, Yang Yichen can eat them.
According to common sense, this wine-stuffed balls are made with glutinous rice and sweet wine, and the wine-stuffed balls made have a faint aroma of wine, but even if you eat more, you won't get drunk.
But the wine-brewed balls of Stygian Mulan are the only ones in the world.
Because she felt that the sweet wine was not enjoyable enough, Mulan chose genuine soju, the kind of liquor that will make people choke when it smells.
And the balls, made of glutinous rice from the south of the Yangtze River, are very soft and glutinous, and they are very even, like small grapes.
Mulan simply boiled the balls with water, and then poured the soju directly into it.
Suddenly, the pungent aroma permeated the room.
In this way, a bowl of Dark Mulan special wine-stuffed balls was baked.
And when Yang Yichen brought over the wine-stuffed balls, he also smiled slightly, and ate them in one go.
Yang Yichen is actually not particular about what he eats, he fights all year round, sleeps in the open air, and can eat to his heart's content, which is Yang Yichen's highest requirements and standards for diet.
Yang Yichen doesn't care much about Mulan's cooking skills, and on weekdays, he can also take care of all this by his subordinates.
But when it comes to martial arts, then Stygian Mulan is absolutely irreplaceable, and even in the entire army, there is no one who can be equal to Stygian Mulan.
Back garden, martial arts arena.
Yang Yichen was dressed lightly, his hair was tightly tied together, a red rope was tied around his waist, and in his hand, there was a red tassel gun.
Yang Yichen held the gun in both hands, and his footsteps moved quickly on the ground, as if a whirlwind was blowing.
The red spear head was constantly flying in the air, like a snake and a dragon, changing rapidly.
The strong air flow drove the fallen leaves on the ground of the martial arts arena, and the leaves on the surrounding woods also seemed to be attracted, and they unconsciously pasted over.
Yang Zongyan was stunned: "Daddy, what did you say?" I don't understand. ”
"Come in and I'll tell you." Master Lin glanced at Xie Ling, "Madam, you can come in too." ”
Xie Ling's feet seemed to be nailed and he couldn't move.
"Mother, Master Lin called you." The Dragon Boat Festival pulled Xie Ling's hand, Xie Ling took a deep breath, looked at the Dragon Boat Festival and said, "Dragon Boat Festival, is there something wrong with my mother?" Why did Master Lin give my property to my Zongyan? Why? ”
"Mother, if you go over and listen to what Master Lin has to say, won't you know?" Dragon Boat Festival comforted Xie Ling softly, "What Master Lin did today is also to make up for us, let's stop hating him, okay, mother." ”
Life is already too miserable, and one more hatred is too bitter.
It's better to take a step back and get the sea and the sky.
Xie Ling's pale face showed indescribable pain, Yang Zongyan helped Xie Ling and followed Master Lin in.
The Dragon Boat Festival sat down and looked at the refreshments on the table, but he didn't have the heart to taste it.
Slaves and maidservants cleaned up around her in twos and threes.
Ni Chongyang put his hand on hers.
Her cool hands seemed to be covered with a soft, thick quilt.
"Dragon Boat Festival, follow me to the capital. Lord Prefect, it's really a rare good official. Ni Chongyang said, "Lin Anye also has a lot of business networks in the capital, and we can use this network to rectify our strength." ”
Dragon Boat Festival thought for a while and said: "I know that if we stay in Qinghe County, we will become turtles in the urn and sit back and wait to die, and the Xie family has now become unprecedentedly powerful, even if we make the medical hall bigger and Sangtian buys more, I am afraid that it is not their opponent, it is better to go to the capital to fight." ”
Ni Chongyang nodded: "If the Lin family reconciles with us, in fact, our strength will also increase." After all, the Lin family has opened so many branches in the country, and they can be regarded as knowing many people. Moreover, I inquired that next month Xining Temple will eat Lent again, and the Xie family will definitely not make too much of a move towards us in order to have a good performance on the Fasting Festival. ”
"Now in the eyes of the Xie family, we are just fish waiting to die, how can they care?" The Dragon Boat Festival stroked the jade they were carrying, which was their Yang family's jade pendant.
The heirloom of the Yang family was given to Erya, this jade is not as good as the heirloom, but it was also carefully purchased by Yang Kang. Originally, it was for her to make engagement jade.
"Don't worry, no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, I will accompany you." Ni Chongyang said.
The Dragon Boat Festival nodded heartily.
Then Yang Zongyan and they had already come out, and judging by their expressions, they should have reconciled.
"From the moment I married quietly, all the grievances between me and the Lin family have turned into friendship." Yang Zongyan said, kneeling in front of Master Lin, "You are my father-in-law. That's not going to change. ”
Master Lin laughed with tears in his eyes happily: "Good, good, good boy." ”
Lin An stepped forward at night and shook Yang Zongyan and Lin Jingjing's hands together, "We will always be a family." ”
"Well, your business is ours."
Then next, Master Lin asked the slave maid to clean up the room, brought four straight red candles, and lit them in the four corners of the room, and suddenly, the room was as bright as day.
Uncle Zhang stood guard at the door, and then, the group sat down in the house, discussing how to deal with the Xie family and finding Yang Kang's plan.
"Back then, the new emperor relied on the power of Taifu Xie, and then the first emperor was too brutal and unpopular with the people, so he successfully replaced the first emperor. But General Yang Kang was single-handedly supported by the first emperor, and the new emperor was afraid of Yang Kang. Yang Kang didn't think so. He did not stop serving the country because the new emperor was prejudiced against him, on the contrary, he took the lead everywhere. Taifu Xie was quite greedy for the military power in Yang Kang's hands, so he said all his slander in front of the new emperor, and finally made the new emperor make up his mind to behead the Yang family as a heroic martyr. However, how to behead a loyal minister who won the hearts of the people is reasonable, but it gives the emperor a headache. In the end, it was the people of the Xie family who offered advice. pretended to shoot Yang Kang to go to the west to conquer the traitors, and then Xie Taifu's son was the deputy general, so that Yang Kang lost the battle and lost the hearts of the people, and then deceived him to go home and slandered him for collaborating with the enemy and treason. This is the truth of the unjust case back then. Unfortunately, few people believe it anymore. Master Lin's voice was low, and he choked up when he spoke.
Lin Anye patted Master Lin on the shoulder, "Daddy, don't be sad." In fact, our Lin family was also designed by the Xie family. Many years ago, the Xie family seemed to want our dyeing workshop, but we didn't know it yet. My father also married the young lady of the Xie family, that is, my mother, which is clearly the beauty plan of the Xie family-"
"Don't talk nonsense, An Ye, whether it's a beauty or not, your mother is sincere to your father. Daddy also really loves your mother. Master Lin interrupted Lin Anye's words sharply.
"It turns out that the enemy is the Xie family." Xie Ling sighed, "It's a pity, but I followed their surname and recognized the distant relatives of the Xie family as my mother." ”
"Mother, Mrs. Xie's family has a good relationship with us, and they have already made five suits in the Xie family's clan. It can't be regarded as the Xie family at all. Yang Duanwu reminded.
She didn't want to see them confess their enemies.
There are already many enemies, and now one less is counted as one.
Ni Chongyang said: "Let's talk about going to the capital." Dragon Boat Festival and I plan to sell the medical hall in Qinghe County and go to the capital to open it. ”
Dragon Boat Festival was stunned, but seeing Ni Chongyang's such a firm look, she also acquiesced.
Lin Anye said: "I have many acquaintances in the capital, I will go with you, so I can take care of it." ”
"So much Brother Schelling." Ni Chongyang is also very generous, and he does not show any rejection of his rivals.
Xie Ling looked at them worriedly; "Dragon Boat Festival, if you go over like this, will the people of the Xie family let you go?" ”
"Mother, we can't live in the second brother-in-law's house forever." Dragon Boat Festival said, "It's easy to find out the news when you go to the capital." ”
"Then I will also write a letter to the prefect, the prefect and I have had a few face-to-face friends, and it should give me a face and take care of you." Master Lin also came up with a plan.
"Then you're not going, are you?" Lin Jing looked at Yang Zongyan hesitantly.
"Well, I'll stay with you and my father-in-law." Yang Zongyan said.
Lin quietly blushed and lowered his head.
After all the arrangements were made, Ni Chongyang went back and temporarily handed over Sangtian to Aunt Zhang and Zhang Caogen.
When I woke up one night, the treetops were covered with a thin layer of frost, and the wheat in the fields was trying to adapt to the temperature of this winter, as long as I survived the cold winter, the next year would be a good year.
The leaves on the trees have long since fallen off, and the occasional few leaves are also crumbling in the cold wind.
A dog at the entrance of the village has lost the spirit of the past, and the hair on his body is also a lot dirty, and it seems that he is afraid of the cold water, so he hasn't washed it for a long time.
Pedestrians on the road always like to put their hands in their sleeves and walk quickly with their necks bent. I'm afraid that if I walk slowly, I will get cold.
Only when the sun rises higher will there be more people on the streets, and it seems that this is the only time of the day that is suitable for activities.
Ni Chongyang knocked on the door of Zhang's house.
Aunt Zhang greeted her, and when she saw that it was Ni Chongyang, she hurriedly said: "Grassroots, hurry up and warm the bowl of chicken soup, Ni Gongzi is here." ”
"You're welcome." Ni Chongyang gave them two bags of silver: "I heard the Dragon Boat Festival say that she can only rest assured that Sangtian will be handed over to you." This is a little bit of heart, I hope you will accept it. ”
Zhang Caogen came out of the kitchen and said, "I haven't seen the Dragon Boat Festival girl for a few days? Where exactly is she going? Dangerous or not? ”
"Don't worry, with us, the Dragon Boat Festival will come back well." Ni Chongyang nodded, very solemn.
Zhang Caogen is still worried.
Ni Chongyang said with a smile: "The most worrying thing about the Dragon Boat Festival is these fields, if you really have the heart, you can help the Dragon Boat Festival take care of the mulberry field." As for the fields that need to be rented, they will be managed by you for a while, and the rent collected will be given to you. ”
"What's so embarrassing?" Although Aunt Zhang said so, when she thought of the rent, she was happy in her heart.
"This is the meaning of the Dragon Boat Festival, so you will do it well." Ni Chongyang said and left.
"Why are you so polite, on such a cold day, you don't drink a bowl of hot soup before leaving." Behind him, Aunt Zhang's voice came.
Ni Chongyang smiled slightly and quickened his pace.
The night is miserable.
Xie Ling embroidered winter socks for the Dragon Boat Festival in the candlelight.
I'm going to get up and go to the capital tomorrow, Dragon Boat Festival is a person who wants to do it persistently when he thinks of it, of course Xie Ling can't persuade him.
The capital is northern, naturally colder than Qinghe County, Xie Ling can only rest assured if she makes one more pair of socks for the Dragon Boat Festival.
"Mother, don't be busy, in fact, I have a lot of socks." Dragon Boat Festival smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"You have a lot of socks, but which pair is not incomplete, either a small hole here or there that needs to be repaired. Of course I'm going to add you a new one. Xie Ling said angrily.
In the mother's heart, the Dragon Boat Festival will never be a child who will never grow.
Dragon Boat Festival warmed his heart, "Okay, thank you mother." ”
Then she began to pack her bags.
She brought almost nothing except a few winter jackets and hats. With too much heavy loading, she always likes to be alone.
"You girl, why don't you bring more silver, how can you tie yourself up if you don't have enough silver when you're out of the house." Xie Ling said, took out his private money, and put it in the Dragon Boat Festival bag.
The capital of the Ming Dynasty, the high walls are intimidating. But it still can't contain the prosperity inside.
The bustling flow of people, either carrying burdens or pushing carts, squeezed in from outside the city.
The road into the city is very wide, and when you enter the city gate, it is a lively scene.
Yellow flags were planted all over the road, whether it was a drugstore, or a restaurant, or a restaurant, or a blacksmith shop.
The loud shouting is also very rhythmic, and people passing by will always be attracted and look in to see the place.
Groups of people gathered around a table, drinking wine from open bowls, and when they were happy, they didn't need to eat at all.
And this is Yang Duanwu's favorite thing, not a little bit.
