Chapter 7: Cold Reception

On the fourth day of Yang Yun's arrival in Datang, there were more people returning to the city, and the workshop specializing in the production of gunpowder also officially started.

Zhang Yan, the assassin of Hanzhou, sent someone to inform the Shifang County Order, provide assistance, help Yang Yun create a "spell", and at the same time report the matter to the Jiannan Jiedu envoy.

However, as far as Yang Yun knew, before the Hanzhou Assassination Operation, Su County had already sent people to Yizhou to show his merits.

It may be that in the future, there will be high-ranking officials at the state and provincial levels who will come to Hanzhou.

Yang Yun can't take care of these for the time being, he wants to make gunpowder first, and then sell the gunpowder to the government at a high price, and in the meantime, he doesn't need to consume manpower and material resources, he only needs to provide technical support, and naturally someone will help him complete it.

Although there are only three kinds of materials, they need the help of Hanzhou Thorn History, which charcoal and saltpeter are not lacking in Hanzhou, in the early years of the Sui Dynasty, the Mianzhou Changming (later Jiangyou) area next door to Hanzhou was mined in large quantities, mainly used for tanning, only sulfur needs Jiannan Jiedu to make the center coordinated.

On this day, Yang Yun was supervising the construction of the workshop, Lin Geng hurriedly came in from outside, and said to Yang Yun: "Real person, the Pei family has returned from Zhouzhi County. ”

Yang Yun didn't have much impression of his sister Yang Yuhuan, and he lacked understanding of the history of the Yang family, which was also related to the young age of the original owner of his body when the Yang family was in trouble, and he knew even less as the heir.

Yang Yun nodded and said, "There is Brother Laurin, I am going to go home." ”

Lin Geng said excitedly: "The brothers are waiting outside, and they need to carry things, and the little real person just needs to speak." ”

At this time, Yang Yun's status is extraordinary, and he is already a celebrity in Hanzhou, and Lin Geng is afraid that Yang Yun will not be able to stammer.

Yang Yun said with a smile: "The kindness of the brothers has been appreciated, but this time I just went back to have a look, it is a private matter, so I will not bother the brothers to go together." ”

Lin Geng's face showed disappointment, and he pleaded many times, probably meaning to protect himself, but Yang Yun refused.

……

……

On a trip back to Pei's house, Yang Yun specially changed into his previous outfit, because he didn't want to scare his family with a robe, and he had the impression that he hadn't been in contact with the Pei family for a long time.

Before leaving, he thought: "It's best to follow the rules this time, try to be polite, and ask about Yang's family affairs, especially Yang Yuhuan's situation, so as not to let them notice my abnormality." ”

Yang Yun knew very well that now he was different from before, if the Pei family knew his current transcendent identity, it would cause a lot of inconvenience, and the origin he casually fabricated was likely to be debunked by the people who were most familiar with "himself".

So he chose to go to Pei's house alone and try to keep a low profile.

Yang Yun arrived at the door of Pei's mansion, compared left and right for a long time, and only came forward to knock on the door after repeatedly confirming it in his memory, and it took a long time before an old and healthy servant came out to open the door.

Yang Yun searched through the miscellaneous memories and finally confirmed that this was Uncle Hua, the old housekeeper of Pei Mansion.

"Are you ......?"

Uncle Hua squinted and looked at Yang Yun for a long time, but he didn't recognize who the young man in front of him was.

Yang Yun smiled: "Uncle Hua, don't you remember me?" I'm Shiro. ”

Uncle Hua was taken aback and said, "Little uncle? You...... You're not dead yet, are you? ”

This question made Yang Yun unable to answer!

Yang Yun's reaction to seeing Uncle Hua was surprised and disappointed, as if it was shocking and regrettable that he didn't die.

As a result, Yang Yun also understood how unpopular he was with the Pei family, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

"In the past, the owner of the body had expectations for my sister and brother-in-law's family, how low is the emotional intelligence to not feel the slightest? I'm different, I don't have a family tie with you, you don't want to see me, and I won't leave with a bare face to make people suspicious. ”

Yang Yun smiled reluctantly, revealing the shyness unique to young people: "Uncle Hua, I'm here to see my sister." ”

Uncle Hua's tone was stiff: "The lord and the lady haven't come back, uncle, please go back." ”

Anyway, the door will be closed.

Yang Yun took the first step to block the door with his body, he knew very well that his sister and brother-in-law's family were back, and Lin Geng's information would not be wrong, but people didn't want to see him.

But he couldn't break in, so he could only show an innocent expression, and begged in a low voice: "Uncle Hua, please be accommodating, I only have a few words to my sister, and I still have things to pack up in the house...... Wait until everything is taken care of, and make sure that you will not be bothered in the future. ”

"When the whole family evacuated to the state before, all the belongings in the house were packed, and I don't think I would miss your share. When the master returns home, the uncle will come again. ”

After speaking, Uncle Hua wanted to close the door, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move the door panel in the slightest, so he immediately raised his face and scolded: "Uncle, how can you be like this?" It's all said that the old man is not at home...... That's it, you go to the side courtyard to have a look, you should rest assured. However, the old man reminds me that if my uncle has any irregularities in the house, I can only ask you to go out! ”

Yang Yun didn't expect that a person from Pei's Mansion who seemed to be honest would be so rude, and he also knew that this was related to the low status of his former subordinates in this family.

Yang Yun arched his hand and said: "I know the rules, and I bother Uncle Hua to lead the way." ”

After being forced to accept the coercion, Yang Yun had the opportunity to enter Pei's Mansion.

……

……

Under the guidance of Uncle Hua, Yang Yun arrived at the side courtyard of Pei's house.

Pei's Mansion is a typical Tang Dynasty architectural layout, the central axis is the front, middle and back three courtyards, there is a partial courtyard on the left and right, forming a symmetrical pattern, Yang Yun's partial courtyard is located on the left side, and three low thatched houses form a quadrangle courtyard layout, and at a glance you know that it is for the people in the mansion to live.

Yang Yun's "belongings" are in a thatched hut in the center, because there are no windows, the light in the room is very dim, the original Hu bed has been dismantled, and a dilapidated wooden box is placed casually in the corner.

"Your things haven't been touched, you don't need to count them, just take them." Uncle Hua's tone was indifferent.

As soon as Yang Yun saw this posture, he knew that the Pei family didn't remember to take his things away when they were hiding from the military disaster, and people really didn't think he had any valuable things.

Yang Yun opened the box in front of Uncle Hua, there were indeed no good things in it, only a few moldy clothes, some wooden toys that children liked, and a few damp books at the bottom were the most valuable.

Uncle Hua frowned and said: "Uncle is now an adult, staying at home for a long time and eating white food may cause criticism, it is best to support yourself, and there is no harm in going outside...... A good man has ambitions in all directions! ”

Yang Yun understood the meaning of these words, that is, let him roll as far as he wanted, don't run around to eat and drink again if he can't get along in Shifang County.

Although this is just a subordinate's words, if there is no explanation from the head of the Pei family, the other party will never be so bold.

Yang Yun nodded: "There is no shortage of things, but the box is still a little heavy, I can't move it alone, I will go back and find someone to pick it up." ”

"Looking for someone?" Uncle Hua showed a slight smile on his face, and then he didn't care anymore, just thought that Yang Yun was just looking for a pretext because he didn't plan to ask for these things.

Yang Yun asked, "Sister should be back, right?" I met with her, said a few words and left. ”

Uncle Hua raised his hand to stop Yang Yun from going out, and said, "Madame has a tired journey, and she is taking care of the young master and young lady in the inner courtyard at this time, and no one can see her without the master's orders." ”

Yang Yun thought to himself: "My brother is not allowed to see my sister before leaving...... Is this because I'm afraid I'll reach out to my family and ask for money? ”

Yang Yun took out three copper plates from his arms, put them in Uncle Hua's palm, and said with a smile: "Please make it convenient." ”

"Huh!?"

Uncle Hua was very surprised when he looked at the copper coins in his hand, in Shifang, a place where Han and barbarians lived, copper coins are not common to people in the market, and most of them are bartered, and Yang Yun took out three copper plates at a time, and he can exchange them for a bucket of rice this year.

When Uncle Hua looked up at Yang Yun again, he saw an innocent, harmless smile on Yang Yun's face, which made Uncle Hua even more incomprehensible.

Yang Yun emphasized: "Uncle Hua, if I leave this time, I may not have a chance to meet my sister in the future, you watched me grow up, please make it convenient." ”

Uncle Hua took a deep breath, put the three copper plates into his arms, and his tone became much more relaxed: "It's all a family, don't talk about two families, it's reasonable for the little uncle to want to see his wife, wait for the old man to go in first, and if you can't see it, you want to see what your wife means." ”
