Chapter 199: Everyone laughed
Yang Kun can only pick up the child and keep coaxing, this child is also evil, he didn't cry when he was wrapped up by Yang Kun, Princess Luyang didn't even turn her head, and she went to die with righteousness, Yang Kun committed himself to climb over the wall to avoid the pursuers and fled with the child all the way to Jiankang, where there was his father Yang Kan. Hou Jing's subordinates scattered in a hurry when they learned of his death, some of them found their own way to live, and some wanted to secretly flee back to their homes in the north, Song Zixian and Zhang Huaren also led more than 5,000 people to garrison Changsha, Ren Yue also ran away, he defected to Xiao Duo, this grandson has a son and nephew who is a supervisor in Xiao Duo.
Xiao Duo has also had his own troubles recently, he has lost contact with the undercover agent in Yizhou, and it is estimated that he was found by Wei Shouding and cut off his head. Wang Kuang and Shi Yan didn't take him seriously at all, and the envoys sent were either beheaded by Wang Kuang, or they were detained by Shi Yan and refused to be repatriated.
Xiao Duo seemed to be weak and fighting alone in Xiangyang, and at this time, Xie Xun, the military commander under his command, came to report, saying that it was Hou Jing's general Ren Yu who came to serve, and said that there was important good news to report. Xiao Duo was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered someone to gather Chen Baxian and other civil and military officials, and Ren Yue trembled and followed Xie Xun into the main hall. This Xie Xun is his own nephew.
Xiao Duo couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Ren Yue: "General Ren, this king has been waiting for you here for a long time, and you finally came to serve today?" Ren Yue hurriedly knelt down and bowed, Xiao Duo deliberately raised his voice and asked, "I heard that you still have important good news to bring me?" What's the news, let me hear it? Ren Yue knelt down and got up and said, "Back to the king, the minister does have great news to tell the king." ”
At this time, Chen Ba interjected first: "If you want to say that Hou Jing is dead, then I advise you not to say it, we already know about it." At this time, it wasn't just Ren Yue who opened his mouth wide and was stunned, even Xiao Duo asked incredulously: "General Chen, what did you just say?" Who died? Chen Ba first turned back to Xiao Duo and said with a smile: "King Qijuan, according to the report from the minister's secret agent in Hou Jing's army, Hou Jing had died in the mutiny the day before yesterday, and Princess Luyang was also killed. ”
Xiao Duo first sighed for a long time, and then pretended to be very heartbroken and said, "My cousin was also unfortunately killed, who did it?" In fact, at this moment, his heart is happy, there was originally a tiger like Hou Jing on the side of the couch, he couldn't sleep well, and now he knows that Hou Jing is dead, it is estimated that he is the happiest person. Chen Baxian bowed his head and reported: "It is said that it is Hou Jing's generals Song Zixian, Zhang Huaren, and General Ren. As he spoke, he looked at Ren Yue and asked, "Am I right, General Ren?" ”
Ren Yue was already trembling like chaff at this time, and hurriedly knelt down to Xiao Duo and said: "The villain was also bewitched by Song Zixian and others, but the villain did not participate in the murder of the princess, that incident was all made by Song Zixian and Zhang Huaren, the villain really didn't know, and I hope that the king Mingjian." Xiao Duo wiped his tears at this time and said: "That's it, the person is dead, it's useless for us to pursue these again, the top priority now is to send someone to take over Hou Jing's territory, which of you is willing to take a trip for this king?" ”
Everyone turned their faces to look at Chen Baxian, because he had the deepest hatred with Hou Jing, and he stepped forward a little embarrassed and said, "King, the minister is willing to take Hou Jing's territory for the king." Xiao Duo laughed happily and said, "Okay, this king will immediately set up a banquet for General Chen to practice!" "He's really anxious.
Yang Kan has been closed to guests since Gao Huan entered Jiankang Taicheng, playing the piano, playing chess, writing poems, painting and drawing pictures at home alone. He looks indifferent to the world. But he still hoped in his heart that one day he could be appointed by Emperor Nanliang and benefit the people again, but at this moment he saw Xiao Daoquan's mediocrity and incompetence, and Gao Yue, Gao Longzhi and others were constantly buying people's hearts in Jiangdong, and he felt desperate.
"Master, there is a man holding a child outside the door who said he wants to see you." The new servants reported to the door, the old servants of the sheep family died and fled, none of them stayed, and now these people in the house are newly recruited, so they have to adapt to Yang Kan's diet and daily life, Yang Kan is a strange little old man, and he has long had his own way of life, and now the new servant makes him feel a headache.
"What kind of person, didn't I say it, sir, I closed the door to thank the guests, and I didn't see anyone, why did I come to report it?" Yang Kan was obviously a little impatient, and the unsatisfactory subordinate was simply a torment for the master. But the servant was very aggrieved and said helplessly: "I also told that man, but he didn't listen, and he had to stay at the door and not leave." At this moment a man wearing a hat lowered the brim of his hat and broke in, and neither of the two men could stop him.
Yang Kan was about to get angry and ask who dared to be so presumptuous and trespass into his Yang family's house, really thinking that there was no one in the Yang family? But he suddenly found that this person's figure was so familiar, and at this time, the man took off his hat, and it turned out to be his youngest son Yang Kun. I saw Yang Kun wearing a fisherman's clothes, a pair of broken straw sandals on his feet, two trouser legs also rolled up, and a furoshiki in his arms, and there was a child inside.
Yang Kan cried with joy and didn't dare to say it clearly, so he could only say to his subordinates: "Quick, go and prepare something to eat, this is my distant nephew." "There is also a nephew who is far away? Yang Kan is also confused. But he was very happy, he hadn't seen him for almost a year, and he didn't expect that this kid was not only alive but also brought back a grandson for himself, and he was really getting more and more capable.
Yang Kun fled back from Changsha and didn't have a good meal for several days, and he had to take care of the child who was less than a year old, which was simply torture for him, and at this moment he returned to his familiar home, looking at the table full of good wine and good food, he shook off his cheeks and ate a nonsense, and he didn't even have time to answer Yang Kan's question, but his mouth was stuffed with food and muttered: "Dad, then let me eat first and then say no, hiccup~~" He also burped, but his stomach still wanted to eat.
Yang Kan silently picked up a cup of tea in the study and said, "It seems that Hou Jing is really dead, so it is a big trouble for King Xiangdong and Gao Huan." It's just a pity that our princess Luyang ...... at a young age" Yang Kun said: "Father, don't worry about that, now we have to find a way to raise this child and how to tell outsiders the origin of this child." If anyone knows the true identity of this child, I am afraid that it will bring disaster to our Yang family. ”
Yang Kan nodded, stroked his beard and said: "If you really can't do it, tell outsiders that this child is yours, you found a woman outside to give birth, and the woman died of illness, so you came back with the child." When Yang Kun heard this, he felt a little pinched in his heart, he hadn't decided to marry yet, where did the child come from, and he didn't want to be a father yet, so he shook his head and waved his hand: "No, this can't work, you can't say that, I haven't found a daughter-in-law yet?" ”
Yang Kun said angrily: "What are you doing like this mother-in-law and mother now, do you also want this innocent child to be beheaded?" Not only will he be beheaded, but our sheep family will also be implicated, do you have to be satisfied? Yang Kun looked aggrieved, this father was very tricked at the beginning, sent himself to Hou Jing, and now he wants to force him to be a wild father, I don't know what Yang Kang thinks in his heart, is he really picked it up? !
Yaoqin didn't expect that she would return to the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion, and the old place was a revisit, looking at the familiar layout in the room, the used rouge gouache, the exquisite embroidered landscape maps, and the guqin in the corner, which had been stained with dust, although it had only been two or three months since leaving Jiangnan, but in a trance, it was as far away as the past and present lives.
Gui Gong asked with a smile: "How about it, it's the same, Xianglian also said that she wanted to vacate this house for the later top brand, but I insisted on it." Are you coming back now to continue singing here or to stay for a short time? Yaoqin stroked the utensils in the room with her hand, and said with a smile: "I just came back to see you, now I live in the line of the Qi Palace, and the king will not let me live here." ”
Qin Xianglian glared at the turtle prince angrily and said, "The dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, and you don't look at what our Yaoqin is now, how can it be possible to come back here?" Saying that, he looked at Yaoqin with a flattering face and said, "That's what I said, Yaoqin." Yaoqin smiled and said to the maid behind her: "Quickly send all the gifts I brought from Yecheng, and remember to send Qin's mother's share to her room." When Qin Xianglian heard that there were still gifts to take, the smile on her face gathered those folds together, and she looked very ugly, fortunately, the people who came to her recently were all forty or fifty-year-old men, and the young men seemed to be more obsessed with young girls, and for Qin Xianglian's body, it was more just venting.
The entire Liuxiang Pavilion knows that there are two princesses here, one follows the king of Qi, and the other is married to a Turkic barbarian, although they are barbarians, they are also princesses, and they are ten million times stronger than singing and laughing here! So the girls here all took asking for money and Liu Ruyan as a model, learning their speech, dressing, and even eating and living in a similar way, which was simply imitated to the point of madness.
Yaoqin saw a maid carefully holding a cup of tea, and saw that she looked handsome, so she asked, "How old is it?" When did it come? Why haven't you seen it before? The girl lowered her head and replied timidly: "Back to the mother's words, the maid's name is Cui'er, she is thirteen years old this year, and she just came last month." Yaoqin turned her head to look at Qin Xianglian and didn't speak, Qin Xianglian saw her sharp eyes, and immediately said in her heart: "I don't blame me, it's her gambler's father who lost all his family property, and he was really unable to be chased by someone last month, so he insisted on selling her to me, I didn't want to accept her, but this little poor crying begged me, I just ......"
Cui'er also hurriedly said: "I begged my mother to take me, my father was collected for debts, they said, if you don't pay the money, you will kill my father, and sell me to a brothel, I ...... I ......," she said, her eyes flushed and tears fell. Yaoqin looked at Cui'er's appearance and suddenly remembered that when she was sold to the Liuxiang Pavilion, her father was an alcoholic, once drunk and came back to quarrel with his mother, accidentally killed his mother, and was sued by her grandmother's family to the government, the lord of the government is a black-hearted ghost, not only ate the kickback from his grandmother's family, but also extorted his father for twenty taels of silver. All the family members were together to scrape together five taels of silver, and twenty taels was simply an astronomical amount.
Her grandfather went out to borrow money from others, and was targeted by thieves on the way back, not only robbed the borrowed money, but also killed her grandfather, the family was ruined, the creditor chased her to the house and asked her for money, pity her little girl with her younger brothers and sisters, where is the money to be returned to others, she had no choice but to let her uncle sell herself to the incense hall to pay off the debt.
Originally, she just wanted to work honestly in the Liuxiang Pavilion to repay the money, but Qin Xianglian saw that she was handsome, so she insisted on cultivating her, and found a literate gentleman to teach her to read and write. Since then, her fate has been changed, and later she met Liu Ruyan, who was in sympathy with the same disease, and the two were very good sisters, and then she met Gao Huan, the man who changed her life.
Although it is only a few years from the past to the present, she has experienced more than some people have experienced in a lifetime, life is bumpy and miserable, fortunately, she is now living very well with Gao Huan, and can even say that she lives like a queen, but the Cui'er in front of her reminds her of the past, and she can't help but sigh, she wiped the tears on her face with her hand, and gently comforted her: "Don't be sad, tears in this world can never help you overcome fate, only by your own hands and wisdom can you change it." Will you come with me? ”
Cui'er raised her head when she heard this, a pair of beautiful eyes blinked, her eyelashes flickered and looked very cute, her lips were red and her teeth were white, her delicate little nose bridge, and her round little face were really a beautiful embryo. Qin Xianglian was a little anxious when she heard this, after Liu Ruyan left with her before, the business of the real Liuxiang Pavilion plummeted, and recently it was difficult to find a good seedling who could replace her two, why should she be taken away by Yaoqin. So Qin Xianglian hurriedly said: "This is not good, Niangniang, this is absolutely unacceptable, I also pointed to this child to set up a sign for us to stay in the fragrance hall and eat rice." If you take her away, I won't be able to do business here. (To be continued.) )
