Chapter 438: Departure and Reunion
Seeing that his brother asked, Yang Zhen didn't hide it, so he told him that he had a house in Shanxi and wanted to invite Yang Chen to live with him, and at the end he asked with some concern: "I don't know how my eldest brother is doing in the capital now, but are you still used to it?" ”
Yang Chen glanced at him with some emotion: "You still want to take care of me as a big brother, to be honest, if it weren't for the silver you left me before, I'm afraid that I would have no place to stand in the capital now." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 InfoWell, in two days, I'll settle the bill with the landlord and move in with you. However, as a brocade guard, I won't affect you like this, right? ”
"It's probably me who is worried about affecting the eldest brother, you are. You are an official of the imperial court, and I am a brocade guard who has never had a good reputation......"
"Haha, do you see my current situation and am you still afraid of people gossiping?" Yang Chen looked like he was joking, but in fact, he was inevitably bitter in his heart, after all, he also came to the capital with some ambitions.
"Big brother don't be discouraged, there will always be a solution to things, and they can't hold you down for too long." Yang Zhen comforted.
Yang Chen nodded, and then thought of something: "By the way, it's not inconvenient for a big man like me to move to you, do you have any female dependents?" Also, Miss Luo, you have a reply, she is a good girl, and she has been waiting for you in Hangzhou......"
"Uh...... I do have two confidantes living with me, and one of them is still Yueying. When I was in Shanxi before, I had a certain situation, and Yue Ying rushed over because she was worried about me, and she took her with her when she came back this time. Yang Zhen was a little ashamed.
When he said this, Yang Chen remembered what happened before, and said with some curiosity: "Tell me how you ran back when Shanxi was ambushed by the Tartars before." Last year, the government first said that you were killed, but I didn't believe it, but after a while, they said that you came back alive and made meritorious contributions. ”
Yang Zhen didn't hide it, so he briefly told him about his affairs in the Mongolian steppe. Yang Chen sighed after hearing this: "Erlang, you are indeed good, even in that situation, you still don't forget to fight back against the enemy, I am far better." It was easy for him to think of himself again, but the trouble of being ostracized in front of him had already made him helpless, and it was too far from being compared to it.
Yang Zhen had to comfort him a few more words, and then he made an appointment with his brother and left the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.
In the next few days, Yang Zhen did not rush to report to the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division, but was busy cleaning up and preparing his new home first. Anyway, now that he has an enemy of the Manchu Dynasty, he is not afraid that Liu Shou will have them to target such a little more thing.
Under the command of Luo Yueying, the lady of the family, the layout of the new home was carried out quickly, furniture, slaves, brand-new pots and pans and other living utensils were sent into the door one by one, and a rather magnificent plaque was hung on the top of the door, which said the word Yang Fu, which made Yang Zhen feel a little funny when he saw it.
And with the new home completely arranged, Luo Yueying officially said goodbye to Yang Zhen and the two of them, although she was very reluctant to be here, reluctant to her lover, but after all, she was still a girl who had not left the cabinet, only after Yang Zhen personally came to greet her, she could really be with him forever.
On the morning of the fourth day of the first month of March, Yang Zhen, Zhang Jingyun and several others sent Luo Yueying onto the ship at Tongzhou Wharf. When he was about to board the ship, Yang Zhen took Luo Yueying's hand and said solemnly: "Yueying, because of me, you have wasted two years of time, maybe you will have to wait a while for me to come." But I can guarantee that as soon as the situation in the capital stabilizes, I will definitely rush to Hangzhou as soon as possible and marry you back! ”
At this time, Luo Yueying felt the sadness of separation in her heart, and she lost her previous shyness, looked directly at Yang Zhen's affectionate eyes, and nodded lightly: "I believe in you, I will wait for you in Hangzhou, whether it is a day or a year, I will wait for you." However, I still want you to promise me one thing......" said her gaze staring at Yang Zhen's face for a long time, full of affection.
"You said, as long as you make a request, I will definitely do it."
"It's still the same sentence at the beginning, protect yourself. No matter what you are fighting for or who you are fighting with, the first thing you have to worry about is your own safety. I don't want the previous thing to happen a second time, and I don't want to be scared a second time. ”
"Okay, I promise you!" Yang Zhen nodded solemnly: "No matter what I do in the future, I will put my own safety first, both for myself and for you." As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed Luo Yueying's cheek deeply: "Thank you, Yueying." ”
Although he felt very shy to be kissed by Yang Zhen because there were many people standing around, Luo Yueying did not dodge this time, after all, this time apart, there will inevitably be a short separation between them, so use this kiss to protect this empty time.
Soon, the passenger ship carrying Luo Yueying left the dock, and gradually, Yang Zhen, who was standing on the shore and looking at Luo Yueying standing at the stern of the boat, finally couldn't see her again, and could only sigh and turn around.
"Erlang, when do you think my sister will come back?" Zhang Jingyun also stood there with a reluctant face and said softly.
"It won't be long. Maybe this year, I can go to Hangzhou to pick her up, and never be separated from her again. And you, I'm going to keep both of you completely by my side at the same time! Yang Zhen took Zhang Jingyun's hand and said.
"Well, I believe you, you can do it." Zhang Jingyun nodded vigorously.
Yang Zhen glanced at this confidante with some emotion, and then asked tentatively: "Jingyun, there is something I have always wanted to ask you, don't you feel unhappy?" When you find out that I have Yue Ying in addition to you. ”
Zhang Jingyun was stunned at first, and then pouted slightly: "Naturally, I was a little unhappy at the beginning. But I've been with Sister Luo for a long time, and I think it's good to do this. In fact, I have always fantasized about having an older sister who can take care of me, but unfortunately my grandfather only has one granddaughter, and I have to take care of him. Well, now that I finally have such a sister, and if you dare to bully me, she will help me......" At the end, she laughed happily again.
Looking at this carefree smile, Yang Zhen made up his mind in his heart, no matter what, he had to cherish them and protect himself at the same time. And to do that, we have to get rid of all the current and potential enemies.
With Luo Yueying's departure, Yang Zhen and the others moved into a new home, and at the same time, Yang Chen, Ruan Tong, and Wang Hai were also invited into the house by Yang Zhen. Coupled with Cai Yingyang, there are more people in the family this time.
For this brother who suddenly appeared, Zhang Jingyun was still a little uncomfortable at first, after all, she hadn't gotten along with Yang Chen yet, and she felt that she was a woman who stayed with Yang Zhen like this, would she let the other party look down on her.
Fortunately, after getting along for a while, Zhang Jingyun found that Yang Chen was actually very easy to get along with, and he didn't have any opinion on her behavior, which made the family seem more harmonious.
At the same time, Yang Zhen finally returned to the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division. Although he has made a lot of contributions this time, the attitude of the people in the Zhenfu Division towards him is still the same as before he went to Shanxi, that is, Liu Shouyou, except for the eyes that sometimes look at him a little vigilant, he did not look for Yang Zhen. In this way, Yang Zhen's life in the Zhenfu Division is also very detached and carefree as before-of course, this is just at best, but not at best, his situation is also the same as his brother in the Ministry of Industry, he is excluded from everyone.
But even so, Yang Zhen could still see something different from the reactions of the people around him, it seemed that Liu Shouyou and they had been on guard against themselves all along, and it seemed that something was going to happen.
A few more days passed like this, and one day Yang Zhen once again came to Zhenfu Si Yamen as usual to look around to see if there was anything to inquire about. Although with Tang Feng's murder, the only person he could speak to here was gone, Yang Zhen still relied on his personality charm to conquer some Jinyi guards of 100 households and below, and he could learn some big or small things from them.
Seeing him come in, a hundred households named Qu Gui came over and whispered: "Qianhu, the villain has something to report here, please find a time to see him alone." ”
"Oh?" Yang Zhen was stunned for a moment, not knowing why the other party was so mysterious, but he still smiled and nodded: "At noon, I prepared a table of wine and food in Qingfeng Building and waited for Brother Qu to come." ”
As they spoke, the two of them passed by as if they were greeting each other, and the others around them didn't notice anything unusual.
At noon, Qu Gui, who had changed into his usual clothes, came to the Qingfeng Building, which was a few streets away from the Zhenfu Division, and saw Yang Zhen, who had been waiting there for a long time. After being sure that there were no eyes and ears of Jinyiwei nearby, he came to Yang Zhen, greeted him like an ordinary friend, and then poured wine and greeted each other.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Yang Zhen shifted the topic to business: "Brother Qu, what are you doing to be so cautious about confidential matters?" Now there's no one eavesdropping here, you can say it. ”
Qu Gui then made a solemn face, and said: "It's not a secret, as a Jinyiwei, the lower officials have a lot of admiration for Lord Yang, before in the capital, you let our Jinyiwei's brothers raise their eyebrows a few times, this time in Shanxi, you have made great contributions, so that outsiders no longer dare to underestimate our Jinyiwei." However, when adults do these practical things, they can't ignore some behind them, otherwise no matter how much credit you have, I am afraid that it will not bring you more benefits. ”
