Chapter 921: The End and the Beginning (I)
In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info thousands of doors and thousands of pupils, always replace the new peach with the old charm.
Chinese New Year's Eve finally arrived in everyone's expectations, which made the streets and alleys of the already extremely lively Beijing City even more jubilant, as long as you walk outside, you can always hear one crackling sound after another, which is the sound of firecrackers and the movement of celebrating the New Year.
No matter how hard life is, on this day, the people will bring the best meals to the table, and the whole family will sit together neatly and enjoy this annual reunion.
Whether you are a dignitary or a peddler, the mood on this day is almost the same, that is, there is only joy, and at the same time looking forward to a better day next year. Therefore, whether it is a commoner's house or a wealthy Zhumen, the people in it at this time are raising their glasses and praying, so ominous and jubilant.
The Yang Mansion is naturally average, but what is lively today is Yang Chen's mansion, that is, the mansion that Yang Zhen got from Shanxi merchants before. Early this morning, Yang Zhen's family took a car to his brother's house to celebrate the New Year with them.
In the atrium, a few children were having fun, lighting small firecrackers from time to time and throwing them not far away, while in the hall facing here, the Yang brothers and their respective wives were drinking and eating and gossiping. But two men and three women were talking about different topics.
Because Luo Yueying has confirmed that she is pregnant, most of what the three daughters said is inseparable from this topic. At this time, Mrs. Cai Shi, who was a passer-by, was whispering to her about her experience: "Although I always feel sorry after I am pregnant with a child, and I don't seem to be interested in anything, but younger siblings, you also have to walk around the yard, so it is good for you and the child." ”
Luo Yueying nodded solemnly, and stroked her lower abdomen with her hand. In fact, at this moment, her lower abdomen still looks very flat, and she doesn't look pregnant at all, and she doesn't feel anything when she touches it. But perhaps it was a maternal instinct that she could always feel a vigorous vitality leaping in it when she touched her subordinate.
Zhang Jingyun was also listening carefully, and from time to time, there was envy in the eyes that fell on her sister. Originally, she was not too anxious, but when she learned that Luo Yueying was pregnant with Erlang's flesh and blood, and she had always been taken care of recently, she was a little hopeful that she could get pregnant as soon as possible.
At this time, when he heard what Cai's head was saying, he asked a little ignorantly: "Sister-in-law, then do you know how to conceive a child faster?" ”
Hearing her childish words, the two girls burst out laughing: "Well, I can only ask the Bodhisattva for blessing, and I rely on you and my uncle to work together." ”
Saying this made Zhang Jingyun a little helpless. I and Lang Jun are not less in the room on weekdays, why are my stomachs so unhappy? It would be nice if I could have a baby sooner.
Looking at her somewhat resentful appearance, Luo Yueying and Cai's once again showed funny expressions, and the former hugged his sister, and was relieved for a while: "Sister, don't worry, since the Guanyin of Baitan Zhe Temple has a great effect, we will go again after the New Year." I don't think Avalokiteshvara will favor one over the other, and you will naturally have it in a few days. ”
"I hope so." Zhang Jingyun replied with some expectation.
Fortunately, she is an optimist, and she can't hide her thoughts for too long, and when someone takes out some fireworks later, she attracts Zhang Jingyun's whole attention. Like the children, she was interested in something that could make a noise and bloom beautifully in the air.
After only staying in his seat for a moment, Zhang Jingyun rushed out of the hall with the same shouts as the children, and competed with them to set off fireworks.
Seeing this scene, Luo Yueying pursed her lips and laughed unconsciously. This sister of mine is actually like a child by nature, and she is so anxious to be a mother, which is really a gimmick. However, this also shows how considerate their own Langjun is to them, it is precisely because of Yang Zhen's connivance and care that Zhang Jingyun will always retain his original temperament, and he will change to another man as his husband, but I am afraid that he has been taught a lesson many times because of this.
Thinking of these, Luo Yueying unconsciously fell her soft gaze on her husband on the other side of the table again, she was fortunate to be such a wishful husband, it was really a blessing that she had cultivated for several lifetimes.
However, at this moment, Yang Zhen did not feel the loving gaze from his wife, he was talking to his brother.
Like women, when men are together, they will also have their own topics. However, the topics covered are very different. In later generations, the topic of conversation between men will always be inseparable from women, status, and work, and although hundreds of years apart, this characteristic still exists.
The words of the two brothers of the Yang family are also mostly related to it. Of course, this refers to the latter two, and as for the first, at least in front of their respective wives, the two brothers did not dare to talk casually, otherwise there would be a fire in the backyard.
After some greetings and greetings before, Yang Chen quickly moved the topic to the matter he was most concerned about: "Erlang, what will you Jinyiwei do with Zuo Shilang?" ”
Two days ago, Yang Zhen personally led people to rush into the yamen of the Ministry of Industry and dragged Zuo Yunqian out of his public hall really made a deep impression on all the officials of the Ministry of Industry. Soon after, the gaze of Yang Chen in the entire yamen became very complicated, with a little suspicion, but more than that, a deep fear.
Everyone knows that Yang Zhen and Yang Dudu are his brothers in Yang Langzhong, and Zuo Shilang's attitude towards Yang Langzhong has always been bad, and it can even be said to be hostile. Now, Yang Dudu has taken down Zuo Shilang in a grand manner, and the problems behind it are worth pondering.
Although there was such a result for Zuo Yunqian, Yang Chen was still a little gloating. Zuo Yunqian relied on his identity, he didn't let Yang Chen wear small shoes before, and he was not a saint, how could he not have resentment in his heart? It's just that when this kind of thing really happens, he still has a lot of concerns, which is obviously a bit against the rules of officialdom.
Seeing the contradiction in his brother's heart, Yang Zhen just smiled faintly: "What, eldest brother, are you afraid that others will talk about you and my brother joining forces to deal with political enemies?" You can rest assured of this, I will take him, that is also with His Majesty's approval, he may indeed collude with those White Lotus Sect and Mongolian spies. ”
"This ...... How is this possible? Yang Chen asked in disbelief.
So, Yang Zhen repeated the inference he said to the Son of Heaven, and then asked: "What's the matter, does the eldest brother still feel that his left servant must have been wronged at this time?" ”
"This ......" Yang Chen couldn't help but be stunned. These inferences and arguments seem to be quite plausible, but when you think about it deeply, there is a strange feeling. It's just that for a while, he couldn't come up with a basis for objecting, so he could only smile bitterly: "Erlang, you are really a good means, and it is really irrefutable to fabricate accusations." ”
Yang Zhen just smiled faintly and did not argue. After taking a sip of wine, he smiled and said, "Actually, big brother, why do you care about what other people think about this?" No matter how much they talk behind their backs, there is no substantial harm to you, there is a way that no one is judged behind everyone's back, and no one is behind anyone. As long as you're strong enough, they can't do anything to you. For example, I, am I still being talked about less? Don't be my brocade guard. ”
"You, you've been doing this brocade guard for a long time, but you look at things completely differently from others." Yang Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"It's not that I don't care, but it's useless if I care. What's more, how can people like me have this view, for example, who is in a high position in the court and wields great power, which one is not full of disrepute? The previous Zhang Juzheng, Xu Jie, and even the politicians of all dynasties were average. Since it is impossible to make everyone respect you and love you, why not let others fear you, fear you, and dare not be your enemy? ”
After a pause, Yang Zhen said again: "Actually, big brother, you can also look at it, and take this as an opportunity to go up to the next level." With your reputation and achievements in the Ministry of Industry over the years, which one is worse than his left waiter? Why does he, a corpse vegetarian, have to sit on your head and give orders? As for us to get rid of it in our own way, that is also our ability, which of the sages of the past did not sit in high positions after defeating countless political enemies along the way? ”
"I ...... In terms of eloquence, I am indeed inferior to Erlang. Yang Chen smiled bitterly again, but in these words, he obviously agreed with Yang Zhen's statement. is in such a position, he is not a stupid person who has to abide by the way of a gentleman, how can he not understand the doorway.
It's just that then, he said a little uneasily: "But this crime is extremely serious after all, so heavy that it can affect the whole clan of Zuo Yunqian, he will definitely not admit it." ”
"This big brother can rest assured, as long as he enters my Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Division, let him be a hundred steel, and he can also become a finger twister, he can only admit it."
Hearing this, Yang Chen unconsciously struck, it seemed that things were worse than he thought. But what else can be said about it? The struggle in the political arena has always been more dangerous and terrifying than the fighting on the battlefield.
Yang Zhen then said: "Now the key for you, big brother, is not here, but how to get this vacant squire position." At this point, the younger brother is powerless, and you can only rely on your own ideas. ”
A hint of longing also flashed in Yang Chen's eyes, he was also an aspiring traverser, and he also understood how much power it needed to save this imperial dynasty that was about to slide into the abyss.
After a moment's silence, he nodded suddenly: "I understand, I will deal with this." After the end of the year, everything will be known. ”
