On the road!

Yang Yong asked suspiciously, "Have you seen Miss Shen?" ”

"The child has only come to the Shen family three or four times, how can it be so easy to see Miss Shen!" Yang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly.

Yang Yong said: "You haven't seen Miss Shen, so why did your Uncle Shen let you go to the family banquet?" ”

"Father, what's so difficult to understand, the child is now the uncle of the Shen family, and it is normal to go to the Shen family's family banquet!" Yang Xiaoyu replied with an indifferent face.

"Hugh is nonsense, you haven't married Miss Shen, how can you count yourself as the aunt of the Shen family, besides, the Shen family is a scholarly family with a strict family style, and your Uncle Shen is even stricter with himself and never exceeds the etiquette, but this time it is a little strange?" Yang Yong taught his son a lesson, and then touched his chin and thought deeply.

Yang Xiaoyu lazily explained that in the two months he came to Yangzhou, he had only visited the door of the Shen family's mansion a handful of times, and he had never seen Miss Shen, except for the first visit, the other times were for official business.

The carriage slowly turned, and after walking a distance, Yang Xiaoyu said: "Father, why don't you stay in Yangzhou for one night and go back to Hangzhou tomorrow!" ”

"My father is a Zhejiang official, how can I delay in Yangzhou!" Yang Yong didn't explain, and replied in a deep voice.

"By the way, the Wei Zhongxian you mentioned last time, he has now really become a close confidant of the emperor, because my father heard a report some time ago, saying that this person is extremely powerful in the palace, and Donglin officials have clashed with this person several times, and all of them have been pushed back!" Yang Yong thought of this and smiled.

Yang Xiaoyu remembered very well that the officials of the Donglin Party were very powerful in the early years of the Apocalypse, however, a few years later, Wei Zhongxian united with officials from Zhejiang, Qi, Chu, Qin and other obstacles to brutally kill the traitors of the Donglin Party, and the methods were bloody and vicious, so that the national capital of the Ming Dynasty was shaken. The dynasty collapsed.

The current Wei Zhongxian is just relying on the favor of the carpenter emperor. Fortunately, he dared to compete with the Donglin Party, according to Yang Xiaoyu's guess, the extremely powerful Donglin Party was by no means something that Wei Zhongxian could compete with.

"Father, the situation in the court is unpredictable. Today it is Wei Zhongxian, and tomorrow it may still be a Donglin official! Yang Xiaoyu didn't say it explicitly, but said it secretly.

Yang Yong is a traitor in the officialdom, he and the Zhejiang Party officials are in the same breath, advance and retreat together, and the Donglin officials can be said to be as deep as the sea, at this time Wei Zhongxian suddenly emerged, in his opinion, this is a good opportunity for the Zhejiang Party to re-lead the government.

However, Yang Xiaoyu's words poured cold water on him.

Along. Yang Yong was pondering and didn't speak, until the carriage left the city and Yang Xiaoyu got out of the car, he asked, "Your grandfather is in seclusion, will he go out of the mountain three times?" ”

Yang Xiaoyu thought for a while, and replied uncertainly: "Grandpa entered the cabinet twice and lived in seclusion twice. Now that he is old, he wants to enter the cabinet again. I'm afraid it's not that easy! ”

"Yes!"

Yang Yong nodded, told Yang Xiaoyu a few words, and waved his hand to let the carriage drive away.

After Yang Yong's car disappeared from the end of his vision, Yang Xiaoyu turned around and slowly walked into the city.

Back to the mansion.!

Yang Xiaoyu thought about it a few times and felt that he had to make another contribution. Strive to be transferred to the capital as an official before Wei Zhongxian takes over the power of Dongchang, and then he can rely on his understanding of history to gain the trust of the carpenter emperor in order to protect himself in the next party struggle.

What kind of merit can be made?

This credit cannot be too small. Otherwise, it will not attract the attention of the senior management of Jinyiwei!

The last time he raided the Ling Mansion and captured the remnants of Yangzhou Bailian, it was by chance.

What is it this time around?

Yang Xiaoyu couldn't help but be a little discouraged, Yangzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, there is no war merit to stand, the only white lotus remnant who can receive credit has been killed by him, and now the white lotus remnant in the city is hidden very deeply, there is no accurate information, it is difficult to find these people.

Moreover, if you borrow the remnants of the White Lotus to make meritorious contributions, you will not get much reward.

Yang Xiaoyu thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a reason, and then he was too lazy to think about it, and went to bed and pulled out the quilt and fell asleep.

Early in the morning of the second day, Yang Xiaoyu changed into a unicorn suit, went to a thousand households, and ordered the scribes to bring the official documents sent by hundreds of households outside the city, register some important news, and throw unimportant things directly to the scribes to do it themselves.

As soon as the sun overhead, Yang Xiaoyu took Chen Yingren and his thirty Ti to ride out of the Qianhu House, nominally out of the city to monitor the wharf, in fact, Yang Xiaoyu wanted to see the scenery, and stayed in Yangzhou City, where the people were constantly flowing, he felt that his vision was rare and quiet, and he had to find a quiet place, and he had to think about the future.

The quietest place outside Yangzhou is on both sides of the Moon River.

Yang Xiaoyu came to the bank of the Moon River, turned over and dismounted, walked in front alone, bowed his head and pondered.

After walking a distance, he heard laughter coming from in front of him, and hurriedly looked up, only to see a woman in a white dress standing on the shore, talking to a young man dressed as a literati next to him, and the two seemed to be talking very speculatively, but did not see their group.

In this era, men and women rarely have contact before marriage, and there are some self-proclaimed styles. The talented man who flows does not dare to talk to an unmarried woman in broad daylight.

Because he was sideways, Yang Xiaoyu couldn't see the appearance of men and women clearly, but looking at the woman's dress, he knew that the woman was not married.

"Ahem... Cough! ”

Yang Xiaoyu couldn't help coughing twice, in his mind, these two must be plotting to elope, he scared first to see how the two of them reacted.

The happy men and women who were chatting heard someone next to them, and hurriedly turned around to look, and at some point, a man in a unicorn suit stood behind them, and there was a row of men in blue behind the man in a unicorn suit.

These men in blue looked at the two of them with a wicked smile on their faces, as if they had done something unseemly and were caught by others.

The man was handsome and eye-catching, and after he swept the unknown figure in front of him, he suddenly saw Chen Yingren standing behind the man in a unicorn suit, his expression became nervous, and he hurriedly whispered to the woman next to him: "They are Jinyi Wei!" ”

The woman was dressed in a white dress, with beautiful facial features, willow eyebrows like smoke, red lips and white teeth, fair complexion, slender waist, and a famous beauty, she glanced at Yang Xiaoyu, who was smiling secretly, and said coldly: "Who asked you to follow?" ”

Yang Xiaoyu thought that the two would be embarrassed when they saw them, and even run away in a panic, so after he finished coughing, he lowered his head directly and gave the two a chance to escape, but he didn't expect that people not only didn't escape, but also questioned him loudly, which made him suddenly feel unhappy in his heart, raised his head and said coldly: "It's really shameful to openly corrupt discipline in broad daylight, and you even have the face to question this official." ”

Yang Xiaoyu was halfway through his words, and suddenly stopped talking, he saw the woman's appearance, and felt that it was so familiar, take a closer look, isn't this the woman who disdained him in the Shen Mansion that night?

I remember that at that time, he still wondered who this woman was, after all, there are not many people in the world with such a face.

"Dog officer, what did you say?"

When the woman heard Yang Xiaoyu scolding her for corrupting her manners, she had a cold face angrily, and she scolded.

Yang Xiaoyu calmed down, stared at the woman carefully for a while, and said loudly: "I didn't mean to disturb the tryst between the girl and the son, but I just happened to be here, and when I saw the girl and the son together, I said something abrupt, and I ask for forgiveness!" ”

"Why is it here that you are not a good person, and you dare to insult this girl, it is really hateful, say, what is your name?" The woman's delicate body trembled, and she shouted coldly.

Yang Xiaoyu frowned, this woman has a noble status, it is very likely that she is the daughter of a certain prince, it is not appropriate to offend, besides, this woman obviously did not recognize him as the man who asked for directions in the Shen Mansion that night.

"When we meet in Pingshui, the girl asks for her name, which is against the etiquette of men and women!" Yang Xiaoyu didn't dare to tell this woman his name, if this woman went home to tell the elders of the mansion about today's incident, he would invisibly offend the royal nobles.

The woman's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, looking at Yang Xiaoyu's face, she always felt as if she had seen it, but she didn't remember where she had seen it, however, when she saw a man wearing a flying fish suit behind Yang Xiaoyu, there was an understanding in her eyes.
