Yang Congyi immediately replied: "The little nephew went to Lin'an to study a few years ago, and met Brother Tang in martial arts, and later he was responsible for returning to Yi to supervise the creation together, counting it, the little nephew has known him for five years. ”

"Five years is not a short time, you two have a deep friendship, right?" The woman answered.

Yang Congyi said: "Yes, the little nephew has never had any friends before he went to Lin'an, Brother Tang is the first friend of the little nephew, and he is also one of the few friends, and the friendship accumulated by studying and working together is indeed deep." ”

"Shiro's letters back to his home often mention a friend he knows, so I think it's you?" The woman laughed.

Yang Congyi was shocked and replied, "The little nephew doesn't know. However, Brother Tang was also dedicated to studying in Lin'an, and as far as the little nephew knew, he rarely made friends, if it was really mentioned in the letter, it might be the little nephew. ”

"Where do you live? Is Daddy still there? What do you do for a living? The woman who sat at the top then asked, and there was a great tendency to ascend to the court to try the case.

Yang Congyi didn't have time to think, and hurriedly replied: "The little nephew is from Huangmei County, Guanqi Prefecture, his father and mother are no longer there, and there is no one else at home. ”

"No one at home? So who is in charge of the major events in your life? The expressions on the faces of the three women changed slightly, and the one above asked.

Yang Congyi replied: "It is a small family, there is no clan, and there are no other elders, no matter how big or small, the little nephew is in charge of himself." ”

Upon hearing this, the three women's faces were slightly gloomy, and their eyes looking at Yang Congyi were obviously not as enthusiastic as before.

"Where are you an official, how much is the moon?" The woman sitting in the middle looked at Yang Congyi and asked again.

Yang Congyi replied seriously: "The little nephew only went to serve in the front division of Lin'an Palace last month, and his official position is not high, and his monthly salary is only thirty times. ”

The woman said: "In a prosperous place like Lin'an, I'm afraid that thirty times a month is not enough for daily expenses, right?" ”

Yang Congyi said: "When the little nephew first arrived in Lin'an, he didn't have much communication for the time being, and he was alone, and the cost was not very large. ”

The woman sitting at the bottom then asked, "Do you plan to settle down in Lin'an?" ”

Yang Congyi said: "Lin'an is the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, a prosperous place, unprecedented in the world, even if the little nephew is afraid, he is not able to run a family business in Lin'an, not to mention whether he can serve in Lin'an for a long time, it is all up to the imperial court to send, and the little nephew can't be the master. ”

As soon as he said this, the room fell silent, and in an instant fell into a terrible silence, and the atmosphere was awkward and eerie.

"The virtuous nephew came from afar, and took the precious time to come to the mansion to meet you, but you asked all kinds of questions, what are you doing?" Father Tang was slightly angry and immediately reprimanded the three ladies.

The woman sitting on the top immediately replied: "The concubine heard that he was a friend of Shiro, so she wanted to see if she could arrange a family affair for him." My husband also heard it just now, his father and mother are gone, there are no relatives and no elders, how can he make his own decisions about major events in life? Besides, he has been running around and has no fixed place, if the concubine doesn't ask clearly, Zhang Luo Zhang Luo for him, once this good year passes, where to find a suitable woman? ”

The woman sitting in the middle immediately responded: "Yes, husband, he is Shiro's friend, and it is fate to come to the house today, if the concubine inquires about the situation clearly, it will become a family affair for him in the future, which is also a good story, how can the husband talk about us with a good heart?" ”

The woman sitting at the bottom continued: "He has no father and mother, he is helpless, such a major life event, if we don't help him, who else can help him?" ”

"Okay, don't say anything, I'll say one sentence, you have to say ten words!" Father Tang was also helpless.

Yang Congyi suddenly relaxed, and said with a smile: "Uncle doesn't have to be like this, the three aunts are also kind for the little nephew, and the little nephew is grateful!" But the major events in life can't be forced, and the little nephew can make his own decisions, and he doesn't have to worry about the three aunts. ”

As soon as the three of them heard this, they immediately stopped talking.

After listening to Yang Congyi and Tang's father chatting for a while about returning from overseas, he found an excuse to get up and leave.

As soon as they returned to the backyard, the three of them shook their heads and sighed.

"It's a little darker after that, but it's also a talent, and he talks decently, but he comes from a cold background and is alone, otherwise it's a good match."

"It's not, it's not bad, and I'm an official in Lin'an, but it's a pity that I'm an orphan and there's no one to help me at home, it's a pity."

"Actually, I don't think it matters if he comes from a background, no matter what his background is, he is now an official, but he earns less money, if he can't even buy a family business, how can a good woman be willing to marry him."

"Since you have become an official, are you afraid that you will not be able to afford the family business in the future? There are no relatives and elders, and any woman who marries her is a life of hardship and suffering. ”

"If he's willing to get involved, wouldn't it be fine?"

"You think too much, even if he has no elders in his family, he is also an official, and our Tang family is not a wealthy family, can he become rich?"

"Forget it, if it doesn't work, it won't work, let's not fight first."

"My poor child, I don't know where it is. I sent back a few letters in three years, her life is so hard, my life is so hard! ”

"Don't worry about it, she's doing well outside, she's been a man since she was a child, when have you ever suffered a loss?"

"Alright, let's go back to the house and go to ourselves."

The three men dispersed and went back to their respective rooms.

Yang Congyi chatted with Tang's father about Hui Yi for a long time, from the fleet leaving Quanzhou, until the envoy Li Yue and Zhancheng, and then about the opening of the sea route in the Three Buddhas, and then to Tianzhu and Seljuk to start returning to Yi, and then returning to Quanzhou all the way, only omitting the matter of living on the island with Tang Xun.

Tang Xun did not return to his hometown, the story of returning to Yi was the first time Tang Father heard about it, listening to Yang Congyi's narration, he was amazed, because of Yang Congyi, but also because of Tang Xun, of course, because of the exotic customs of overseas countries and the boundless beauty along the way.

This chat took more than an hour, and when it was close to noon, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the two of them were a little tired, so Yang Congyi was taken back to the courtyard to rest.

Father Tang told him that a banquet would be set up for him in the evening, and at that time, people from the other rooms of the Tang family would also come, and they would not be able to do such a big business with the Divine Cavalry.

Although Yang Congyi felt that it was a little strange to call other people he didn't know, since it was arranged by his uncle, he could only accept it.

Back in the courtyard, fruit and snacks were placed in the room.

Yang Congyi has been a little hungry since the morning, so he naturally stuffed some into his stomach first.

After eating something, the hot air waves penetrated into the room through the crack in the door, and as soon as the room was warm, I felt a little sleepy, and when I went back to the room and lay down, I fell asleep in a short time.

When he finally fell asleep and woke up, he didn't know what time it was.

But there is nothing to do today, it doesn't matter what time is in front of you, after washing your cold water face, you will return to the room to sit and practice.

Since leaving Lin'an and going south, the time for practicing has become less and less, so I can only use all the time I can use, otherwise the cultivation of internal strength is too slow.

Zhang Liu told him that the way of the sword is cultivated in internal strength, and the swordsmanship is practiced no matter how familiar it is, without the deep internal strength complementary, it is all a showcase, which cannot save life or hurt people, so the sword must first practice internal strength, and the internal strength will be cultivated to a certain level, and the swordsmanship will be upgraded to another level.

Since then, when it was inconvenient to practice spears and swords, Yang Congyi practiced Taoist internal skills, and would also practice the Five Dragons Hibernation Method at night to nourish qi and maintain health.

Since insisting on practicing, Yang Congyi can't say whether his martial arts have increased, he hasn't competed with others for a long time, although he fought for a few months in Guangnan last year, the number of times he really did it was only a handful, and he was still a soldier without the strength of a fight, so it was difficult to test it at all.

After Daoist Zhang Liu returned to Lin'an last year, he was rewarded by the imperial court for his meritorious service in capturing Prince Li Yue, and even the Taoist temple where he was located was rewarded by the imperial court with a large piece of land, and he was also given a sum of money, and even ordered the local government to renovate the Taoist temple, so he had to return to the Taoist temple to contact many affairs, and Yang Congyi also lost the object of learning martial arts at any time.

After entering the practice, I don't know how long, suddenly his mind moved, and Yang Congyi opened his eyes.

After a moment, there was the sound of footsteps in the courtyard, followed by a knock on the door.

"Lord Yang, my lord, please come over." The servant's shout then reached Yang Congyi's ears.

I got up, put on my shoes, and tidied up my clothes a little, and then went out and opened the door.

Looking at the sun, it seems that the sun is still setting early.

However, in ancient times, dinner time was very early, because it was very inconvenient after dark, and if you wanted to use candles or oil lamps for lighting, it was okay in winter, but it was hot in summer, and then lit candles or oil lamps around, not to mention how uncomfortable. Another is that most of the houses are made of wooden furniture, and most of the houses are also wooden structures, and if you are not careful, you will go to the water, so if you can not burn candles and oil lamps, try not to burn, so as not to increase the disaster.

Yang Congyi followed the servant all the way, as for where to go, he didn't have to ask, he wouldn't know if the other party said it.

It didn't take long for him to be taken to a large hall, where there were already many people seated.

Except for Father Tang and Shopkeeper Zhou, he didn't know anyone else.

As soon as he saw Yang Congyi coming in, Father Tang immediately got up to greet him and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, you are here, how are you resting?" ”

Yang Congyi bowed and replied, "It's good, Uncle Lao has been waiting for a long time." ”

"Good, good." Father Tang smiled and pulled Yang Congyi to the upper seat.

Everyone present, except for the shopkeeper Zhou, no one knew Yang Congyi, so except for him who got up, although the rest of the people felt that the young man who came was a little special, they all sat still and had no intention of getting up and giving in.

After the two of them gave in a few times, Father Tang sat down first, Yang Congyi then sat down, and Shopkeeper Zhou sat back in place silently.

Father Tang looked at everyone present, and then said with a smile: "None of the outsiders who came here today, it is rare for everyone to get together and take this opportunity to introduce a noble person to you." ”
