Chapter 365: The Root of the Bane (3)
After going ashore, Yang Chengzu and Ruxian walked side by side, and the two walked unhurriedly, as if they were a couple in love enjoying the street scene. It wasn't until after walking out of a street that Ruxian leaned towards Yang Chengzu and let out a long breath: "I'm scared to death." I really didn't expect to meet such a madman, and actually want to beat an old woman like me, and this time, it seems that I will make trouble for you again. ”
"What is this called, you are not old at all, you are only in your twenties, how can you talk about being old. Besides, you are my woman, and if someone wants to beat your idea, of course I will go up on top. It's not a nuisance, it's a man's responsibility. If you let your own woman out, then you are not qualified to be counted as a person. Sister Ruxian, although you don't know martial arts, you are more courageous than the sky on weekdays, but today is the first time I have seen you so scared. ”
"Because my identity has changed. If it was in Xiangmanlou, I would naturally not be afraid, and I was not Xue Miaomiao, I would definitely not let him kill me, at most I would lie down for half a month, and everything would be fine. But now that I'm your woman, I can't let another man touch me. I had already thought that if he was hard, I would die. ”
"Zhang Sizong came this time, I was still thinking about who he was going to do, but I didn't expect him to mess with me. It seems that it is still the Liangzi of Huaxian County, a marquis, for a few small money, it is so endless, so it is not good to say that the queen of the Ming Dynasty is from a small family with a small family, and the pattern is too bad. Isn't it just that he lost a few dollars, as for this endless, besides, when he did that, it wasn't something on the table. If it gets too big, the emperor won't have a good time. I ruined this matter, in the long run, for his good, but I didn't even understand what was good or bad, what a fool. ”
Ruxian said: "Now that I think about it, Shaanxi came out with a dark flower to buy your head, maybe it was also the Zhang family." This Zhang Dudu is a careless lord, what to do next, you have to make a good idea. ”
"If he had been a careless lord, we would have turned our faces on the ship just now. In fact, although he is a bastard, he still has brains and knows what he can and can't do, so he won't do anything. As for you, just stay at home and don't go out, he, who is so bold, doesn't dare to go to the Sun family's courtyard to arrest you. That is tantamount to publicly slapping the Sun family in the face, and he may not be able to bear this consequence, even if he does, he may not be able to bear it. A scholarly book is not easy to mess with. ”
The two walked for a while, and gradually got closer to the courtyard, Ruxian suddenly asked: "If Zhang Sizong is really unrelenting and is willing to give up if he has to take me, what should you do?" ”
"What else? Let's die together. I'm not sure I'll kill the servants around him, but I'm armed with gunpowder, and I'm sure we'll be done together. Even if you can't kill him, you can cripple him, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. ”
Hearing this, Ruxian leaned softly on Yang Chengzu, and her cherry lips gently kissed him on the face. When they arrived at home, the smile on their faces still made the ladies in the family jealous: how could this be like a fox who stole a chicken? And at night, he generously pushed Yang Chengzu into someone else's room and went to talk to the Liu family by himself, which was something that had never happened in the past.
In the following days, Yang Chengzu also deliberately strengthened his vigilance on his side, and the guards he brought with him were mainly used to guard against this side, and the female guards made them more vigilant and ready to fight at all times.
But to his surprise, the expected problems did not happen, and the scene on the ship that day seemed to be a hallucination. Zhang Sizong didn't come to trouble him, and he didn't even send a few people here to observe, he still did his business every day, and he didn't have any contact with this side.
On the contrary, Yang Chengzu's three poems gradually spread in Anlu, after all, there are so many literati gatherings, no matter what the final outcome is, this matter cannot be suppressed. It's not that whoever doesn't like this poem can control his spread, not to mention that there are also the children of the Sun family, and they take the lead in spreading it, so that this matter will ferment quickly.
To say that these three poems may not be really stronger than the works of Wan Jiashu and others, but the problem is that Yang Chengzu is a martial artist, and the poems he makes can make peace with the literati, that is, victory. Moreover, his poems not only express his dissatisfaction with those literati who have made such a poetry meeting against him, but also express his own ambition and put himself in the perspective of a victim, which is also very flattering.
At present, the situation has changed, and the war has a tendency to gradually spread to Huguang, and his remarks are very much in line with the appetite of old-school gentry such as Sun Jiao, and these people are precisely the real powerful people of An Lu. Under their admiration and praise, Yang Chengzu's literary name gradually spread, and at the same time, many family heads also strictly warned the children of the clan to go out and cause trouble when they have nothing to do, and to study at home, or do something.
Heng Mei coldly pointed at Qianfu, bowed his head and was willing to be a son of a cow, and the seat was full of purple robes, why not share the labor with the people, and other words, which were also hung on the mouths of several old squires.
Sun Jiao's side is very full of this son-in-law, but he knows that he is still at war, and no matter what happens, it is not suitable for marriage. Besides, the Yang family has not settled down yet, and it doesn't seem appropriate to propose marriage, so this old man is not in a hurry, but arranges the family in an orderly manner, preparing a dowry for his daughter, and when the war is over, it is time to discuss marriage.
On the Yang family's side, this trouble did not come, but another trouble came unexpectedly, after Tie Coral and Li Yu'e, Miao Xiugu was also pregnant. This made Miao a little embarrassed, after all, she and Iron Coral are mother and daughter in name, and she is a woman with the same man, which is already a little ashamed. Now that she is pregnant with the same man's child, she feels faceless and emotionally unstable.
The culprit, Yang Chengzu, had no choice but to say good things while saying good things to appease her, trying his best to make her happy. And Ruxian also seemed to have changed sex, not only did he not take the opportunity to beat the potential enemy, but he came over to take the initiative to care and comfort, which made Yang Chengzu wonder, how did he participate in a poetry meeting and have a quarrel with Zhang Sizong, Ruxian's vinegar seems to be much smaller than in the past?
On the side of the palace, everything is as usual, and all the arrears of rent have been paid on time. The Department of Honor and Guard has sufficient money and food, and the training is enthusiastic, and the sergeants are very hard-working. At the same time, many of the children of military families in the granges in the countryside took the initiative to come to the door and wanted to join the Honor Guard Division and serve as the honor army.
Wan Tong said that he would not let the Honor and Guard Division expand, and the reason was sufficient. It's just that the current situation is tense, and the Anlu side has spent money to recruit people and set up a brave battalion to prevent that there will be soldiers to deal with in case the rebels arrive. At this time, if the Honor Guard Division recruits troops, it will be to rob people with the yamen, but if it does not recruit troops, if the rebels really arrive, the strength of the palace will be difficult to maintain. After Yang Chengzu hesitated for a long time, he still gritted his teeth: ask the princess first, and then make a decision.
The princess, who has always been known for her honesty and even some cowardice, showed a rare determination this time,
The approval is surprisingly fast: if you come to the door by yourself, if you can't get rid of it, you can temporarily contain it.
