Spring goes to the summer solstice, when Midsummer embraces thousands of living beings in the Ming Dynasty with unique enthusiasm, a carriage stops at the head of the door in the Jingshi Shamao Hutong and outside the Yang Mansion. Behind this carriage there are two other large carts, which are full of local products from their hometown. The people carried the goods on the car to the house, and the Hou Jian officials sitting on the benches on both sides of the door, regardless of civil and military backgrounds, also stepped forward to join hands at this time, and the scene was very lively.

I already knew from the mouth of a housekeeper that this was the eldest young lady who came from her hometown in Sichuan, and brought some souvenirs over, and wanted to come to the Yang family today to have a family banquet, you people don't have to wait today, Shoufu is probably not available to meet you.

Yang Shen is a famous and talented man in the Ming Dynasty, his literary reputation is far and wide, and his temperament is not the kind of rigid and polite scholar. But this does not mean that his husband and wife have a bad relationship, on the contrary, he and his wife are a good match, which can be regarded as a model couple.

Huang E was born in a eunuch family, her father is a scholar, and she is a famous talented woman in Sichuan, with impeccable appearance and talent, and Yang Shen is a pair of golden boys and girls. However, due to the fact that I have to run the family business in my hometown, I have been separated from my husband for many years, and I don't see each other much, so this time I came over is also a very rare opportunity.

Yang Shen came back from Hanlin Courtyard early, and when he returned to the room, he saw his beautiful wife, who was taking two maids, cleaning up the room and sorting out his clothes for him. Seeing him come back, he first gave a salute, and then smiled gently: "Xianggong, I came back so early today, master, don't you want you to help you do things?" ”

"Madam, I know that you are from your hometown, no matter how many things there are, you have to put it off first. In the past few years, you have really suffered, you have to serve my mother, but also take care of the family business, let me see if you have lost weight. Yang Shen is not a rigid person, he took the initiative to take his wife's hand and look up and down, which made this beautiful talented woman a little embarrassed.

"How can there be, everything is fine at home, if you want to say fat, it is more likely, how can you become thin. However, Xianggong has no intimate person to take care of in Beijing, and the concubine is afraid that your body will not be able to bear it, and when you leave, I will let Shiyun stay and take care of you, so that you don't have to be alone. Look at it, the chaos in this room looks like the bedroom of a first assistant son. The concubine can't take care of you, you can take a concubine here, it's not okay if there is no woman by the man's side. This time I entered Beijing, and I will help you choose a suitable one to marry. If the husband is a satisfactory person, he can also say it, the lord is not easy to say, the concubine will help you come forward. ”

Yang Shen smiled, he was informal, and he often stayed at Fang Si's side, his room was indeed a little messy, and I believe that his wife had also heard some rumors about him. But the gentle, kind and understanding lady is not a jealous woman, but rushes to help herself take a concubine, and she wants to leave her personal maid to take care of herself, and her heart is naturally very moved.

"Xiumei, I'm very good here, you don't have to worry about me, there are a lot of people in the family, they do everything, I don't work hard at all. I also went to the southeast once before last, and I originally wanted to go home to see it, but the military situation was urgent at that time, and I couldn't leave. ”

Huang E smiled softly, "The concubine also knows about this matter, in her hometown, the people are saying that Xianggong is a wise multi-star, living Zhuge , strategizing to win a thousand miles, and fleeing from the wind to kill the widows." There are also those who sing Peking Opera, and they are also singing some stories about fighting the Japanese invaders, and there are characters in them, who are obviously transformed from Xiang Gong. ”

"Peking Opera? In our hometown, there is also Peking Opera? ”

"Of course there are, some businessmen, first invited the troupe, and then later, it was Yang Ji who opened a shop in our hometown and also brought the Peking Opera troupe. Looking at it now, the momentum of Peking Opera still can't overpower the opera in my hometown, but no one can say what will happen in the future. Yang Ji's momentum is big, and he also has face in the government, and now that he has the shares of the queen's mother, it is even more difficult to provoke, and even the dramas they brought have attracted many people because they are fashionable. Yang Jiajiang, stories such as the legend of Jingzhong, many people in my hometown are watching it now. There is also the Three Kingdoms Opera, and there are more people watching it, and many people compare the old man to Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, saying that his old man is a great loyalty and a good person. ”

Huang E's talent is very high, and ordinary men are not as good as her, so it is impossible to talk about how she likes scripts or Peking Opera. But she knew that between Yang Chengzu and Yang Tinghe, they could actually be regarded as political enemies, and intentionally or unintentionally, she would try her best to collect some information about the enemy. This kind of collection will not be the kind of formation that will be used by the enemy to summarize general intelligence, but it is also human nature to always do as much as possible to understand it.

Yang Shen asked with concern, "I haven't heard you talk about this, I thought Yang Ji didn't go to his hometown, how about it, did our family have a conflict with them?" Yang Ji is very domineering in business, you are a woman, always don't conflict with them. ”

"No, Yang Ji's shopkeeper is very polite, and he sent a goodbye sticker to worship the pier, and there is usually no conflict with the family. This is also because the master doesn't like his children to be businessmen, and our family usually doesn't involve much business, so there is no conflict of interest, no matter how domineering Yang Ji is, he can't fight. ”

She recalled Yang Ji's actions, but she was quite appreciative, "In fact, Yang Ji's shop is good, since Yang Ji was established, food prices have dropped a lot, and the people's lives have always been better." In previous years, as soon as autumn came, some people from other places inevitably fled to their hometowns, knowing that the old man was kind-hearted, so he took his family as a savior. Although we stood up to give porridge for relief, and went to contact some big households, or went to the government to speak, but in the end, we couldn't get relief, or after Yang Kee was opened, this year's refugees are the least. Yang Chengzu, no matter what he is like, this Yang Ji can't be said to be useless. ”

"Well, I have cooperated with Yang Chengzu in the southeast, he has talent and ability, and Yang Ji has also done some good things. To tell the truth, many people in Jingshi are praising Yang Ji's grace, saying that life is better and not as difficult as in the past. But let's just talk about this kind of thing, and don't mention it in front of my father. ”

"Don't worry, the concubine knows it in her body and mind."

The husband and wife held hands, told their respective experiences and experiences in the past few years, talked about poetry and articles, took out their proud works, and asked each other to correct them. Between the two, they are not only husband and wife, but also like friends in some places. When it comes to the proudness, the two will smile heartily, or argue for a long time about the use of some words, quoting scriptures. This situation and this scene are simply the embodiment of the four words of fairy couples.

Time passed quietly in this warm and tranquil atmosphere, until Yang Tinghe returned from the cabinet.
