Chapter 1258: The Wind Rises
Hour Yongfang, Yang Mansion.
Since the two old men of the Yang family died one after another, Mrs. Yang came to live in the capital from Puzhou, Shanxi Province after the three-year examination period.
This month coincides with the 50th birthday banquet, and not only relatives in the vicinity of the capital, but also relatives in Puzhou have also come to the capital to congratulate Mrs. Yang on her birthday.
Although there is still some time before the date of the birthday banquet, the guests of the Yang Mansion are already visiting in an endless stream, and Mrs. Yang, who was always depressed before, seems very happy.
Mrs. Yang has lived in Puzhou since she was a child, and then she has stayed in her hometown in Puzhou to serve the two elders for the sake of filial piety. Although I have been living in the capital for a year, I still have a lot of discomfort.
After sending off a group of guests, another distant guest was immediately ushered in, and it was her sister.
"Fifth sister, you have come from afar!"
When Mrs. Yang heard the news, she greeted her warmly from the house.
Although she is already a woman in her fifties, she has the feeling of being only in her early forties because she comes from a large family and has taken good care of her skin over the years.
The bejeweled woman was about forty years old, and her eyebrows revealed a snobbery, and she stepped forward and said with a smile: "Sister, what are you talking about?" This is your birthday, even if it is far away, my little sister will definitely come to celebrate you. ”
The poor have no neighbors in the city, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains. It is not far from Shanxi to the capital, and the Yang family is rich and noble, and this distance is naturally "Wuling soaring waves, Wumeng majestic mud pills".
Behind the woman stood a young man in his twenties, of a very ordinary appearance, but dressed in a personable manner. He is also a clever person, and when he saw an opportunity, he took the initiative to step forward and respectfully salute: "Nephew Yang Kuan has seen his aunt!" ”
"Good, good!" Mrs. Yang was very familiar with this nephew, and she had already treated him as a nephew, but she suddenly reproached: "You have been very smart since you were a child, Mr. Xiling said that you are a good harder to study, but you are stubborn, otherwise you can get fame with my family Junqing!" ”
Mrs. Yang is not only a wife and a husband, but also a mother and a son. In the Spring Festival competition in March this year, his eldest son Yang Junmin ranked thirteenth in the second class of high school, and now stays in the sixth department of the capital as the trainee director of the household department.
The most important thing is that now their Yang family is already a "successor", and it is destined to continue to be prosperous, which is one of the reasons why so many guests come to Shanxi.
"Huh...... Look at what you said, sister, your Junqing is a Wenqu star, where will my family Kuan'er have the title of the gold list. He can only do a little business like his father! The bejeweled woman deliberately belittled her son and complimented her.
Yang Kuan's face also had a wry smile, although his aunt was boasting in a different way, but it was not that he was greedy for fun and misguided his future, so that he had completely abandoned the imperial examination now.
But he didn't regret it much, now he has his back against the big tree of the Yang family, with inexhaustible gold, silver and jewelry in his hands, and all kinds of beauties waiting in his arms, living a more nourishing life than anyone else.
Although he can't be an official, he can't necessarily be wrong with anyone, at least the local county officials have to be respectful when they see him.
Mrs. Yang wanted this kind of compliment, and she also smiled and approved: "If Kuan'er can inherit his father's business, this is also excellent!" Your family's business is not small, not to mention our Puzhou, even in the whole of Shanxi, there are few people who can compare to your family! ”
"Isn't this all about being taken care of by my brother-in-law?" The bejeweled woman did not dare to be proud in the slightest, but continued to flatter the Tao with flattery.
In this era of agriculture and commerce, no matter how rich they are, merchants will always be inferior. If it weren't for the big tree of the Yang family, let alone continue to grow the business, even if you want to keep the family wealth, it would be a miracle.
This time, she not only worked hard to make this trip, but also had to prepare a gift for everyone in the Yang family, and she also had to give the Yang family a heavy birthday gift obediently.
When they arrived in the living room, the sisters seemed to have endless words.
Yang Kuan was fine at first, but gradually he couldn't sit still. He didn't like to listen to the short words of these parents, but in front of Mrs. Yang, he had to be patient and pretend to be well-behaved.
"Huh...... Kuan'er is afraid that she will not be able to sit still! Mrs. Yang seemed to have a pair of discerning eyes, and said very calmly: "You go and play with your cousin!" Except for your eldest cousin and fourth cousin, everyone else is at home! ”
The Yang family can be described as flourishing, with seven sons and fourteen daughters. The eldest son is already a trainee in the household department, the fourth son is a brocade guard because of the official Meng, and too many other brothers are studying in Guozijian.
Yang Kuan immediately got up and hurriedly said goodbye.
Mrs. Yang watched Yang Kuan leave, shook her head gently, and continued to talk to her sister in the hall.
The family style of the Yang family is very confused, the eldest son Yang Junmin is a Jinshi, the second son Yang Junshi is a top student of Guozijian, and the fourth son Yang Junqing is a good hand in Jinyiwei, but the third son Yang Junyan and the fifth son Yang Junchen are the sons of the gentlemen.
In particular, the third son, Yang Junyan, is deeply loved by Mrs. Yang, and is a well-known demon king in Puzhou. Because he is the same age as Yang Kuan, the two can be said to have the same smell, and they have done a lot of illegal things together.
However, when he arrived in the capital, Yang Junyan took the initiative to restrain a lot. Although he did not study hard to cope with the imperial examination, he did not do too much debauchery, and even planned to embark on the road of business.
Yang Junyan looks good, he is dressed like a personable nobleman, and he just wants to go out to the banquet, but he almost collides with Yang Kuan, who came in in a hurry.
"Huh...... Toshihiko, I thought you were out! Let's go to Xiaoxiang Building, I will invite you to eat and drink, and find you the best girl! Yang Kuan came in and saw Yang Junyan, and immediately sent out an invitation excitedly.
Yang Junyan glanced at him with disgust and said: "You have not been in the capital for a long time, the scenery of Xiaoxiang Tower is no longer what it used to be, and now the most famous is Rainbow Tower, and the first Oiran in Beijing is none other than Hongxia girl!" ”
When he spoke of Miss Hongxia, his tone and demeanor immediately changed.
"Where's the Rainbow Building?" Yang Kuan only arrived in Beijing yesterday, and immediately asked with a slight stunned face.
"It's not far, you can go with me!" Yang Junyan was a little proud, waved his hand and walked out.
Yang Kuan's heartbeat accelerated a lot when he thought of the enthusiastic girls in the Qinglou, and he followed Yang Junyan out of the house.
The two did not go through the gate of the Yang Mansion, but quietly walked through the back door. When the two of them sneaked out of the alleyway, before they took two steps, Yang Kuan's eyes immediately darkened.
