Chapter Twenty-Four: A Strange Will

"Fukang, it's my father who is not good, did Yang Zheng let you say that?" Zhao Zhen looked at his daughter's frightened and pitiful expression, the anger that had just risen disappeared in a blink of an eye, and said softly to Fukang.

"No, Brother Yang Zheng doesn't know my identity yet, he told Sister Jianrou like this, Sister Jianrou secretly told me..."Princess Fukang said in a low voice.

"Alas!" Zhao Zhen sighed, the horses of the Great Song Dynasty have been made to be avoided by scholars since Emperor Taizu, especially those who have the talent to learn and take revenge.

Yang Zheng is undoubtedly this kind of person in his opinion, an article Ai Lian said that he has received countless praises in Shilin, and even he likes it very much, and even wrote an article himself and hung it in the Funing Palace.

For the sake of the country, he can save money, even if his courtiers are extravagant, as long as these courtiers can help him manage this great country, he has always been generous with high-ranking officials and generous rewards.

But he is also a father, seeing his daughter standing in front of him a little timidly without saying a word, and no longer repeating the old life, he knows that he has just scared her, and the anger of the emperor is not something that anyone can bear.

"Fukang, my father promised you, but not now, when you are fifteen years old, my father will issue another decree, do you think it's okay?"

Zhao Zhen comforted her daughter softly, Princess Fukang was only eleven years old, and she didn't know how painful it was to have a husband with another woman, and he could only give her another chance when she could understand these things.

"Thank you, father," the father became amiable again, and Princess Fukang, who received Zhao Zhen's affirmative reply, became bright again, and said to Zhao Zhen in a coquettish voice.

After Fukang, who was in a good mood, left, Zhao Zhen hesitated for a while before writing an edict on a blank piece of paper and pressing it on the bookcase.

Yang Zheng is not very interested in moving, but Yang Shu is extremely tough, in the ancestral hall Yang Bang decided to hand over the two-room residence to Yang Zheng, he has already found a mason and carpenter from the outside to repair the house, this residence is called Xiyuan, located in the corner of the West Garden of Yang Mansion, in addition to Yang Bang's first vein, Yang Wenguang's first vein, and now with his one vein, the West Garden still seems very empty.

Lao Zhang finally had a place to use, and after carving a piece of wood into a flower with a simple carving knife in the time of a pillar of incense, all the hired carpenters had no objection to his words, the master craftsman of the Yang Mansion.

As long as he is willing to spend money, Yang Zheng saw the speed of the Great Song Dynasty for the first time, and it only took five days, except for some places where there is still some taste of raw lacquer, the entire Xiyuan has been renovated and can be moved in at any time.

Lao Zhangtou didn't move into Xiyuan, Yang Zheng's small yard became the new home of Lao Zhang's family, where there are a lot of small toys made by Yang Zheng when he was bored, half-finished pencils, unpurified charcoal, etc., Lao Zhangtou didn't know the use and value of these things, but it didn't prevent him from guarding these things.

Ruyi Buddha has completely become Yang Zheng's personal maid, the West Garden is big enough, there are more than a dozen separate yards, Yang Shu occupies a yard alone, and the others are empty, Ruyi still stubbornly moved into Yang Zheng's yard, the same as in the small courtyard, living next door to him, Huyanshan occupied a courtyard in the front yard without heart and lungs, even so, the entire West Garden is still empty and abnormal.

Yang Zheng is like a person who is used to living in a bachelor apartment and suddenly lives in the castle, the empty place makes him a little unaccustomed, although the West Garden is big, it is not popular enough.

Cao Min always knew what he needed, and on the second day after he moved into Xiyuan, Lao Cao sent the two families to him together with the deed of sale, which was the Cao family sold the death deed to the Cao family, two families of more than a dozen people, the groom, the cook, and the porter were all at once, and if there was another housekeeper, it would be a typical rich family in the Great Song Dynasty.

Yang Zheng is not short of money, Cao Min calculates the accounts of each period very clearly, and his first-layer members in the Cao Family Distillery can bring him at least 20,000 yuan of net income every month, and there is no pressure to feed these twenty or so people in Xiyuan.

And when he inspected the new residence, the new porter reported that a palace attendant came and asked him to receive the order, Yang Zheng came to the living room inexplicably, and sure enough, a faceless chamberlain handed him an edict printed with Zhao Zhen's private seal.

Stuffed a silver ticket into the sleeve of the waiter without a trace, and the waiter told him that he had something to do with Princess Fukang, and then left Yang's mansion to return to the palace to resume his life, but Yang Zheng was in a daze with an oracle.

He didn't doubt the authenticity of this edict, but he doubted the authenticity of this content, the edict was indeed related to Princess Fukang, which roughly meant that the emperor did not allow him to mention the dissolution of the marriage contract with Princess Fukang, and the emperor also turned a blind eye to Jianrou's matter, Yang Zheng didn't know why the emperor knew that he wanted to dissolve the marriage contract with Fukang, and he was so calm after knowing it.

Jian Rou's matter is even more inexplicable to him, Jian Rou is indeed very in line with the image of the goddess in his mind, but such a goddess can often only be watched from a distance, he has no other thoughts about Jian Rou, Cao Min is his favorite goddess who can go up to the hall and down to the kitchen.

What embarrassed him the most was that the emperor clearly pointed out that he could no longer mention the dissolution of the marriage contract with Princess Fukang, at least not now, Cao Min is already in his twenties, and in this era, there are not many years to wait.

Take the edict to Cao Min, although Cao Min was gloomy for a moment, she didn't have much disappointment, she just wanted to be with Yang Zheng now, she didn't care about her reputation, she didn't care about gossip, and Ai Lian said that she was completely sinking.

"Yang Lang, it's okay, no matter how merciful the official family is, they won't allow such a thing to happen, especially if it happened to Princess Fukang."

Cao Min gently snuggled in Yang Zheng's arms and said softly.

"I know," Yang Zheng said sullenly.

"You're worried about my dad?"

Cao Min glanced at Yang Zheng and said funny.

"Hmm"

"It's okay, my dad won't do anything to us, don't worry..."

Cao Min said confidently.

Cao Min swore that her father Cao Tong would not care about their affairs, and Yang Zheng felt that it was not very reliable but could only put these things down.

If the test is to cross the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops, the provincial test is the carp leaping dragon gate, which is a huge threshold for students to become officials.

Since the release of the results in early September, there is only less than half a year before the provincial examination, and there is still a Spring Festival in between, and some students in the Jiangnan area even began to rush to Kaifeng Mansion to prepare for the provincial examination.

There are more people in Kaifeng Mansion suddenly, many rooms in the inn with elegant environment are full, the business of various Qinglou, restaurant, and Washe Goolan is getting better and better, even if the weather is getting colder and colder, all kinds of gatherings are still held in Kaifeng Mansion, Yang Zheng has been there once, and has never accepted the invitation again, a group of people are talking about each other in Qinglou, and touting each other is really not suitable for him.

When the people of Kaifeng Mansion began to put on new peach charms in front of their doors and used the money they had saved for a year to buy new clothes for their children, the second year of Huangyou was coming to an end, and Yang Zheng also ushered in the fourth Spring Festival in this world.
