When Xiao Yao followed Yang Jian to his Suiguo Mansion, he understood why he was looking for Yuwen to provoke him today!

Compared with such a prominent identity as Sui Guogong, the house where Yang Jian lives is a bit shabby! This house more than ten years ago was built by Yang Jian's father Yang Zhong when he was named the Duke of Suiguo, the overall area is not large, the building is also a little dilapidated, and there are many people in the Yang family, which makes the whole house a little noisy and messy, living in such a house, it is inevitable that people will feel a little depressed!

Originally, with Yang Zhong's reputation and status in the Zhou State, coupled with his continuous outstanding military exploits, he built a spacious and luxurious mansion in Chang'an City, which was a casual thing, but it is a pity that since Yuwenhu took control of the Zhou Dynasty, Yang Zhong was unwilling to attach to Yuwenhu, resulting in him constantly being excluded by Yuwenhu, and his status in the Zhou State political arena declined repeatedly, and finally he was driven out of Chang'an City, went to Gansu as the governor of Jingzhou, and even affected his son, Yang Jian, who had just stepped into the official career at that time.

Yang Jian has been very smart and talented since he was a child, and even Yuwentai, the ancestor of Zhou Guo, was full of praise when he saw him only a teenager, praising him for being a person who will do great things in the future! Originally, Yang Jian was born in the family of famous generals, and he was talented and learned, and he was valued by those in power, according to the normal development, it should be smooth sailing in his career, and he will rise step by step!

It's a pity that his father offended Yuwenhu, causing him to be excluded by Yuwenhu, and he can only be a petty official and a small commander of the forbidden army in the palace! If he can't be promoted in his career, he naturally hasn't been promoted, and the small commander of the forbidden army is not a position that can make money, so Yang Jian has no savings in his mansion.

The most terrible thing is that Yang Jian married a very famous wife, Dugu Garo! She is the youngest daughter of Dugu Xin, the general of Zhou Guozhu, and this Dugu Xin is Yuwenhu's political enemy, who was ready to conspire with Yuwenjue, the first emperor of Zhou, and wanted to get rid of Yuwenhu, but Yuwenhu preemptively attacked them in advance, resulting in Yuwenjue, who had only been the emperor for a few months, being abolished and killed, and Duguxin himself was forced to commit suicide in order not to implicate his family!

So as the daughter of Dugu Xin, married to Yang Zhong's son Yang Jian, the marriage of the two families was a very failed marriage in the eyes of the Zhou magnates at that time, because the fathers of both men and women offended Yuwenhu, although the family was not wiped out by Yuwenhu, but it is no longer a prominent aristocratic family, and there is no real power in hand, only those titles that are in vain!

Dragged down by his father, Yang Jian worked for eight years in the position of the small commander of the forbidden army in the palace, but he did not get any chance of promotion, so he always felt that he had no talent, and the whole person became depressed!

Finally, one day, adhering to the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Yuwen Yong, who has been secretly developing his own strength, found Yang Jian, and then used a set of loyal and patriotic theories and drew a big pie to pull Yang Jian into his camp, and then took advantage of the opportunity of Yuwen Hu to send troops to the east to attack Qi State, and transferred Yang Jian to the commander of the patrol battalion of Chang'an City, so that Yang Jian, who had been standing still, finally experienced the taste of promotion and salary increase!

Yang Jian, who had done a good job in the position of commander of the patrol battalion, when he heard the news of the continuous defeat of the Zhou army fighting on the front line, he had always had Kuang Shi's great ambition to save the country in his heart, and he became sentimental again: after he was a famous general, he was even more hereditary with the Duke of the country, but he could not personally lead the troops to the front line to fight with the Qi State, so he could only take this patrol battalion in this Chang'an City, patrol the city every day, maintain public order in the city, and do some small things like sesame mung beans, not to help the people find lost chickens, ducks, dogs and sheep. It is to help the yamen catch thieves and robbers, to say that it sounds good, and it is also to be loyal to Da Zhou, to say that it is ugly, it is really like what Yu Wenzhi said, he is a watchdog!

So today, when he saw that although he did not directly fight with the Qi army, but he was also on the front line, Yu Wenzhi, who participated in the battle of Yiyang, returned to Chang'an City with these Zhou soldiers who had been defeated by the Qi army, but the pomp and circumstance of entering the city was even more grand and arrogant than those generals who returned with a big victory, and the anger and unwilling anger in his heart suddenly broke out!

In addition, as a close confidant of the emperor, what I usually see is all kinds of disrespect for the emperor by the people in the Yuwenhu camp, and Yuwenzhi, as the emperor's half-brother, went to stand on Yuwenhu's side to help the abuse, so naturally he didn't have a good impression of him in his heart! So, Yang Jian, who was only thirty years old and strong-blooded, suddenly had a hot brain, and rushed out without even thinking about it, and challenged Yuwen Zhi, but the result was that he kicked an iron plate!

took Xiao Yao to the Suiguo Mansion, Yang Jian was very annoyed and regretful! Why did he rush out to provoke Yu Wenzhi in the first place? Why don't you see clearly that Henan Princess Yu Wenmin is also in his team? Why don't you want to be clear, a strange little monk can also ride a horse and follow the team, can he be a person with no identity? If they had been honestly allowed into the city at that time, it would not have led to a series of events that followed, but now they can only swallow the evil consequences of this impulse!

"Master Sanzang, Yang's Suiguo Mansion is a bit shabby, please don't be surprised!" Yang Jian, who had already learned to be obedient, said politely to Xiao Yao.

"Well, it's shabby indeed! Unexpectedly, the Suiguo Mansion of the famous Zhou Guozhu General Yang Zhong and the old general Yang Guo looked like this! Hey, General Yang, look, there is a rat hole on the beam of your house, and mushrooms are growing next to it, I'm afraid it is in disrepair, for the safety of his family, General Yang still has to find a craftsman to come back and repair it! Xiao Yao also said unceremoniously.

didn't expect Xiao Yao to say so bluntly that his mansion was dilapidated, and Yang Jian could only say with an embarrassed smile: "Yes, it's time to repair and repair." Master Sanzang invited him in, and Yang immediately went to inform his family, saying that there were distinguished guests at home, and let them prepare a meal and treat the master well! ”

"Actually, it's not necessarily fasting, the little monk is a miscellaneous monk, that is, he only pays attention to spiritual practice, as for eating, drinking, and Lazar, he doesn't need to pay too much attention! To put it bluntly, it means eating everything and drinking everything, and there is no restraint from the precepts of pure cultivation! You know that sometimes in the wild, you can't find a donor for a while, and you can't eat enough wild fruits, so you can only hunt and eat meat. So General Yang doesn't have to eat fast for my family, it's better to eat meat and drink wine as you normally do, and the little monk is also very casual! Xiao Yao smiled cheekily.

"This, the master drinks wine and eats meat, so he doesn't abide by the rules and precepts, can he still be regarded as a monk?" Yang Jian looked at Xiao Yao with a shocked expression and asked.

"I was a monk at the time, don't you think I have a big bald head? If you have a Buddha in your heart, you are naturally a monk! General Yang, let's go in quickly, today we rushed back to Chang'an after a day's journey, our stomachs were already hungry, if we can drink wine in a big bowl and eat meat in a big chunk at this time, it is really a happy thing in life, I really drool when I think about it! General Yang, do you think I'm right? Xiao Yao said with a salivating look and a look of anticipation. Daxia Chinese Network

"That's right! Drinking wine and eating meat is one of life's great pleasures! Yang immediately asked people to prepare wine and good dishes, hold a banquet, and wash the dust for the master! Of course, Yang Jian understood Xiao Yao's hint in such a white way, so he immediately asked people to prepare a banquet, and then took Xiao Yao into the shabby Suiguo Mansion.

Xiao Yao walked into the Suiguo Mansion with a complicated mood and Yang Jian, who had a grudge against him and was an old enemy arranged by fate, and found that Yang Jian really didn't lie, this mansion was indeed populous, noisy and noisy, and the place was small, which seemed a little urgent and depressing.

Yang Zhong has four sons, all of whom have already started a family, but none of them have opened a government outside to build a mansion, so they can only live in different courtyards in this Suiguo Mansion, but these courtyards are not very large.

And the fertility of the Yang family seems to be very strong, not long after the four brothers got married, there are already a lot of children under their knees! The eldest Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo have now given birth to three sons, two daughters and five children, and the eldest daughter Yang Lihua is also eleven years old, and if it is developed normally according to history, the two couples will continue to have five children, a total of ten, under the conditions of very backward medical technology in ancient times, childbirth is a high-risk thing, and dystocia is fatal at any time, so it is not simple for Dugu Jialuo to give birth to ten children, it is indeed favored by history, and it also has the halo of the protagonist!

And Yang Jian didn't take a concubine, only one wife has already given birth to five! And the other brothers in Yang Jian are not simple, plus they have more than one wife, but also concubines, so they have more children, so the entire Suiguo Mansion, the four brothers of Yang Jian, plus their parents and children, as well as slaves and servants, the permanent population of the entire Yang family is nearly 100 people!

If this population is placed in the mansions of some wealthy nobles, it is not surprising, but if it is placed in the small mansion of Suiguo Mansion, it looks very compact and down!

Because the Yang family offended Yuwenhu, so after Yang Zhong died of illness, the Yang family rarely came to guests, and because of the small number of people and low self-esteem, Yang Jian usually did not want to bring friends home as guests, so when he brought a guest home today, the entire Yang family felt very novel, and this guest was a well-known monk who spread throughout Chang'an City today, which made them feel even more sensational, so the entire Yang family, big and small, old and young, those who supported crutches, and those who were still breastfeeding, all came out, I want to see what this monk who has become the most unpopular figure when he first arrives in Chang'an is like!

Seeing that a room full of people were looking at him with strange eyes, Xiao Yao also felt very uncomfortable, but he still kept smiling, and smiled at Yang Jian: "General Yang, your family seems to be a bit much, is such a small house enough for a room?" With so many people, there won't even be a place for me to settle in a firewood room, right? ”

Xiao Yao never left the narrow crowd, and constantly poured salt on the wound of Yang Jian's inferiority.

"It's actually good to have a large population, at least it's lively! Although the place is a little narrow, there are basically many children, and the children can squeeze it, and the master is a distinguished guest, how can he live in the firewood room, I will immediately prepare a big room for the master to rest! Yang Jian said depressedly, why does this monk always not open which pot to mention, and keeps saying that my home is small!

"General Yang is polite, the little monk is rough and rough, you don't need to sleep on any big bed and soft pillows, just a guest room, you can have a bed and a quilt! However, the little monk followed the princess for a few days, covered in dust, but hoped to take a hot bath! Xiao Yao looked at Yang Jian with expectant eyes and said.

"No problem, Yang will arrange it, after the banquet is over, the master can take a bath and change clothes, and have a good rest!" Yang Jian said with a look of lovelessness.

"By the way, the little monk has long heard that General Yang's father, General Yang, is a famous general of the Zhou State, and now the little monk has the honor to spend the night in his mansion, he should go to his spiritual seat to take a stick of incense, and silently recite a few verses to express his respect, I wonder if General Yang can make it convenient?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, it is rare to come to the enemy's house, of course he has to provoke and demonstrate in front of the enemy!

"The master is a high-ranking monk, and it is the honor of our Yang family for the ancestor to be blessed by the master's chanting!" Yang Jian was indeed excited, after all, he also believed in Buddhism, and when he was in Fuying Zen Temple, Master Zhixuan also recognized that this Sanzang monk was a monk with profound Buddhism, but the timing was not right to let him in, and now he took the initiative to chant and bless in front of his father's spiritual seat, of course, he couldn't ask for it!

Yang Jian took Xiao Yao to the family temple in the Suiguo Mansion, but found that this family temple was in the small Suiguo Mansion, the area was also quite large, and the decoration was also very solemn, which showed that the people of the Yang family were still very filial to their ancestors.

Looking at the spiritual plaque of his murder of his father's enemy, Xiao Yao pretended to worship incense and chant scriptures, but he was secretly laughing in his heart: Old General Yang, please forgive me for making a move on your Yang family in the future, and when the time comes, it may make your Yang family fall into a situation of disloyalty and injustice, and there will be no recovery, but I can say that this is not because you are the murderer of my grandfather! Although my grandfather Xiao Lun was indeed defeated and killed by you, it was a life-and-death struggle on the battlefield, so in fact, I don't have much resentment towards you, but your son is the opponent assigned to me by fate, if I don't make a move against him, then he will be a big winner in history!

After pretending to chant the scriptures, Xiao Yaoyou took a turn in this temple, then shook his head and sighed and said: "Oh, it's a pity, it's a pity that General Yang has been loyal and patriotic all his life, fought in the world, and made great achievements, but his spiritual position can only be placed in this small and shabby family temple in the end. ”

"Master Sanzang is really a master, and he also knows these feng shui mysteries! It's a pity that Yang is incompetent and has no extra money to expand the Suiguo Mansion, does this also have an impact on my career promotion? Yang Jian asked in surprise, because Xiao Yao said what was on his mind!

"Of course there is an influence, as the so-called people rely on clothes, Buddha relies on gold! Why is it the reason to be an official in this life, the gold in the previous life is the Buddha's body, the previous life is cultivated to receive in this life, the purple robe and jade are bred with the Buddha to ask for it, the gold is the Buddha to cover himself, and he covers himself as he comes! The more you honor your ancestors, the more they will bless you! Xiao Yao said with a serious face, but he frightened these people of the Yang family into a daze, and a few of them even clasped their hands together and whispered the blessing of their ancestors!
