Walking past the Hu merchant, Yang Shen and Ye Lingbo continued to wander on the street, this area is a slum, there are many ruffians on the street, Ye Lingbo has a graceful posture, a fairy temperament, and is extremely eye-catching, but seeing the momentum of Yang Shen and his party, there is no one who comes to harass them without opening their eyes.

Instead, they headed south, wandering around and starting their way home.
From here back to Yangfu, they need to walk the slum to the end of the slum to Jinxian Road, then walk from west to east to the junction of Jinxian Road and Baihu Avenue, and then return via Baihu Avenue.
Suddenly, there was a quarrel ahead.
Yang Shen and Ye Lingbo are both martial arts practitioners, with profound internal skills and very good hearing, they have already heard the voice of a person, this person's tone is a little angry, and he is extremely impatient: "You scholar, you have been in arrears for three days, my inn is not free, it is already generous enough to allow you to live for three days, I don't want your room money, please take your salute away immediately, and move out of here for me!" ”
After listening to this person's words, as the two of them got closer and closer to the goal of the quarrel, Yang Shen and Ye Lingbo could already see the figures of the two sides that had made a conflict.
This is in front of the door of a hotel called "VIP Inn", a package was thrown on the ground, and from the perspective of Yang Shen and Ye Lingbo, it can be seen that there are several books in the package. A middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper was yelling at a young man in shabby clothes. However, although the shopkeeper's attitude was not good, there was no domineering look on his face, and he obviously did not bully the young man.
Although the young man was not dressed decently, and even had a dish on his face, he was very polite, and he was not angry in the face of the innkeeper's harsh words, he saluted the shopkeeper and said: "Shopkeeper, thank you for having a lot, let me live here for nothing a few days ago, and I will definitely make up the room money in the future, and the student will leave." ”
The shopkeeper saw that the young man's attitude was very good, and he was a little embarrassed, probably thinking that his attitude just now was too bad, and the shopkeeper sighed and said: "Scholar, don't blame me, my inn is also a small business, open the door to do business, it is really impossible for you to eat and live in vain." But don't mention the money or anything. Let's go, I hope you can have a good chance and be able to soar in the future. ”
The scholar bowed to the shopkeeper again, and then wanted to leave.
At this time, Yang Shen stepped forward, he grabbed the scholar's sleeve and said, "This gentleman, go slowly." ”
When the scholar saw the young man dressed in extravagant clothes and pull himself to this poor scholar, he was very puzzled and wondered: "I don't know what this son is doing?" Seeing that although Ye Lingbo was masked with a white veil, his hollow valley-like temperament could not be concealed, and he couldn't help but flash a look of surprise in his eyes.
Yang Shen showed a kind smile on his face: "Please wait a moment, sir, and see for yourself." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head and asked the middle-aged shopkeeper: "May I ask the shopkeeper, how much money does this gentleman owe?" ”
The shopkeeper saw that Yang Shen and his party were very pompous, and he didn't dare to slack off and said: "It's not much, it's just a hundred Wen." ”
Yang Shen shouted, "Lian'er." ”
Yang Lian answered.
He said, "Take a hundred cents and give it to the shopkeeper." Then he said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, I will pay for this gentleman's house." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, a smile appeared on his face: "Okay, this son is kind-hearted, and I admire it." ”
Only then did the young man who looked like a scholar understand Yang Shen's intention to hold him, and he was grateful in his heart, and saluted Yang Shen Chang: "Xing Gongzi helps, and the student Li Fan is grateful." ”
Although this scholar named Li Fan was unbearable at this time, there was no humility on his face, and he was not humble when he saluted, Yang Shen nodded secretly when he saw it.
He stretched out his hand to support Li Fan: "Brother Tai doesn't have to be polite, who doesn't have bad luck and is in trouble?" The so-called 'brothers from all over the world' saw a help, which is really nothing. “
When Li Fan heard Yang Shen say that "all brothers in the four seas" were shining in his eyes, he was no longer bleak and ordinary, and he saluted Yang Shen with admiration on his face: "Brother's words are wonderful, and Li Fan really admires my brother's character and talent." ”
He will be older than Yang Shen next year, but because he admires Yang Shen's talent, he calls him his brother.
Ye Lingbo on the side heard Yang Shen say the words that everyone was familiar with in his previous life, and a strange flash flashed in his eyes.
Rao is Yang Shen is very thick-skinned, and after listening to Li Fan's words, he was also a little embarrassed to accept his gift. However, when he noticed the brilliance flashing in Ye Lingbo's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a secret feeling in his heart.
Although he will not be unhappy because of this, but nothing can compare to his wife's heart after all, after all, there is some regret in his heart, at this time when he sees that she is also moved by his talent, he feels like he has eaten a piece of ice cream on a hot day, and he is very comfortable.
Yang Shen saw that Li Fan had a dish on his face, obviously he hadn't eaten enough for several days, and seeing that this person didn't have the cringe of ordinary people when they saw the powerful, and he didn't have any intention of flattering and flattering, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but invite: "Brother Li, meeting is fate, how about going in and having a drink?" ”
To Yang Shen's satisfaction, Li Fan did not refuse, and calmly agreed: "Since the elder brother invited, the younger brother is better than obeying his fate." ”
Yang Shen said to the shopkeeper: "Please prepare a table of good dishes and a lake of good wine for us, and in addition, please arrange my guards for the shopkeeper." “
The shopkeeper responded and ordered Xiao Er to inform the kitchen, leaving Zhang Luoyang Shen and his party behind.
Yang Shen Ye Lingbo smiled apologetically, sorry for not being able to accompany her, Ye Lingbo shook his head at him understandingly.
Yang Shen stretched out his hand to Li Fanyan and asked, "Brother Li, please." “
Li Fan said repeatedly: "Don't dare, how can there be a reason that the younger brother is in front of the elder brother, or the elder brother first." ”
Yang Shen said again: "I am the master, Brother Li is the guest, and Brother Li should be invited first." ”
Li Fan had no choice but to go in first, and Yang Shen and Ye Lingbo followed.
The reason why Yang Shen helped Li Fan carefully was naturally not only because of pity, if this was the reason, there was no need to invite him to eat with him, and now that he was doing so, he was almost making friends.
He did it for another reason, of course.
A hundred years ago, Yang Conghu, the head of the Yang family at that time, met a scholar begging on the street, and felt compassion in his heart, not only invited the man to a full meal, but also left ten taels of silver to the other party.
Ten years later, Yang Conghu felt that this was the most correct thing he had done in his life
After Yang Conghu helped this down-and-out scholar, he quickly forgot about it, and never thought that he would get anything in return.
Unexpectedly, three years later, the scholar he helped joined him as a lifter after he failed in the imperial examination.
After meeting again, Yang Conghu learned that this person was originally a person from the vicinity of the capital, and he went to Beijing three years to participate in the autumn examination and obtain the qualification to lift people. Unexpectedly, after entering Beijing, he encountered the deception and calculation of the Jianghu people, not only was he cheated out, but he also owed the other party ten taels of silver, just a showman, nothing in Kyoto, he had no means to make money, and was forced to beg on the street under the threat of being urged.
With this relationship, Yang Conghu kept it by his side and asked him to help him sort out some documents, and occasionally Yang Conghu would ask him for his opinion.
The scholar's name is Wang Yangming, Yang Conghu found that he was able to sort out the documents he handed over to him in an orderly manner, and this person has a far beyond ordinary people's understanding of the length of things, whether it is politics or military, he has a unique opinion.
So, Yang Conghu increased his training efforts, and more and more things were assigned to him, and they became more and more important, and gradually, Wang Yangming has become Yang Conghu's number one confidant, and many important things Yang Conghu can rest assured that Yang Conghu can handle with him.
Seven years later, when the 100,000-strong army of the Tuhun people invaded Qingzhou, Yang Conghu and the three elders who remained in the capital at that time hurried back to their hometown to deal with the Tuhun people. In the affairs of the capital, Yang Conghu entrusted Wang Yangming with full authority and asked him to act as the head of the family.
On the tenth day after Yang Conghu left, something big happened in the capital overnight.
When the emperor of the dynasty suddenly fell seriously ill and died, the princes competed for the throne.
Among the princes at that time, the eldest prince was wise and martial, and was considered the most outstanding prince among the emperor's sons, plus he was the oldest, and there were many supporters among the courtiers. And because she was born to the daughter of the Ye family, she was supported by the six major families headed by the Ye family, so she had the highest call for ascending the throne.
At this time, there were only fifty years left before the two-hundred-year covenant agreed between Yang Guo, the ancestor of the Yang family, and the second emperor of the Li family, and the strength of the Yang family was still far from the Li family. If the wise and martial prince ascends to the throne, it is conceivable that the Yang family will not want to develop in the next fifty years. Fifty years later, we can only wait for death.
At this time, Yang Conghu and the elders of the Yang family were far away in Qingzhou, and they were beyond their reach.
At this time, Wang Yangming exercised the right of the head of the family, united with the Xinjun Wen family, who had always been friendly to the Yang family, and many wealthy families to mobilize the left Wuwei and the right Xiaowei army in charge of the Suwei Beijing division into Beijing, with the help of the queen who had no heirs at that time, through the tacit cooperation of the military and the harem, he killed the eldest prince by thunderous means, imprisoned the other three princes of the first emperor, and pushed the little prince, who was only fifteen years old at the time, who had always been cowardly and had a dead mother, to the throne.
The little emperor was confused all his life, and the Yang family's power rose sharply because of their support, and in the following decades, it developed extremely rapidly, and finally reached the point where it was almost able to die with the Li family.
The Yang family can have today. Wang Yangming has made great contributions.
So since then, the Yang family has had a hobby, they always like to help some poor poor scholars, a meal, a book or a few taels of silver, these are a drop in the bucket for the Yang family, but they have formed a lot of good fate for the Yang family.
The secret guards of the Yang family even took this kind of thing as a routine to do it.
Yang Shen's behavior can be explained.
He didn't have a hobby of making friends casually, he just followed the customs of the Yang family and made an idle move.
