In fact, the so-called absolute safety of people living in the world has never existed. It's still the same old saying, do your best, and settle your destiny.

Yang Zhi untied the knot in his heart to protect the safety of his family, and his mood suddenly relaxed. Coming out of Duke Qin's dark residence, he felt that everything was bright.

When the father and son first arrived in Chang'an, they lived in Qinfu and were already familiar with each other. called the steward in charge of purchasing, and reported a lot of things, and asked him to send them to Xu Mansion and Wei Mansion in two parts before noon.

"Camellia oil 500 catties, sesame oil 500 catties ....... 200 catties of wolfberry, 200 catties of gastrodia....... 200 catties of barley, 200 catties of millet, 200 catties of Huaishan....... Two hundred pounds of old ginseng? Two hundred pounds of deer antlers? Tiger whip 200 pounds? Two hundred pounds of bird's nest? ”

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye!" The Qin Mansion Purchasing Steward wiped the cold sweat on his head and interrupted Yang Zhi: "The villain has the courage to remind Master Hou that other things are not too big a problem. But this ...... This old ginseng, deer antler, tiger whip, bird's nest and other precious medicines, very few people talk about dozens or hundreds of catties at every turn. Do you think it's ......? ”

Yang Zhi babbled and frowned, "I still have a lot of things!" But listen to what you mean, the Qin family is known as the richest family in Great Xia, but they can't even do these things? ”

"Master Hou, this is playing with you! Busy with your go, don't pay attention to him. Qin Kongyun relieved the purchase management in a timely manner, and said with a haha: "Third brother, it's not as convenient for anyone to handle these things as you are, right?" If you want to slander me, you must say it clearly, don't use any pretense of borrowing flowers to offer Buddhas to disgust people. ”

Yang Zhi controls the Shandong Offshore Trade Road, do you want any rare things? The Qin family still has to spend money to buy it, as long as he coughs, a large number of people will rush to give it away, and he is afraid that he will not want it. Qin Kongyun is old and sophisticated, and his half-truths and half-truths have broken Yang Zhi's intentions.

Yang Zhi said quite simply: "No wonder it is said that the richer the person, the more stingy he is!" Look at this big New Year. I went to visit the eldest brother and the fourth brother empty-handed, which is not very likely. What's wrong with you? The Qin clan is not short of these money! ”

Qin Kongyun pulled him and left: "The Qin family is not lacking, you are lacking, okay?" I know that you are busy with many things, Your Excellency, and that you have already given one of the two New Year's gifts in your name. Let's go! As long as the person arrives, it is realized. ”

The purchasing manager saw the two of them pull out the door. couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: Who dares to say that Hou Ye is short of money, it is simply a lack of heart. As the saying goes, no small thing makes money, Hou Ye can really save it!

After Xu Wenhan got married, he did not associate with a group of courtiers, and he also blocked the literati who came to visit the name of the Tian family, so the mansion was still deserted. His wife, Tian, is the granddaughter of the old master Tian Zude, the former master of the Hanlin Academy, and definitely meets the standards of a good wife and mother in this era. Xu Wenhan is tranquil and open-minded, and the relationship between men and women is far less rich and wonderful than Yang Zhi. It's not as pretentious as Qin Kongyun. The so-called respect is like a guest, in other words, it is as plain as water, but Xu Wenhan doesn't seem to feel anything wrong.

Yang Zhi and Qin Kongyun have never been very particular about entering and leaving the Xu Mansion. There is no one in the Xu Mansion who doesn't know these two masters, and they don't even have to report when they enter the door. Xu Wenhan was even more refreshing, and when he met the two, he only bowed his head slightly and said hello, and then ordered: "Tell Madame, just say that I went out with the second and third brothers." ”

Yang Zhi couldn't help but be stunned: "Old Xu." I haven't seen each other for more than a year, how can we say that we are reunited after a long absence, right? …… You might as well let me sit in your house for a while and drink tea!" ”

Xu Wenhan didn't even look at him: "It's not been a day or two since we met. I can't tell you anything about false politeness. I expected you to come today, so if you have anything to say, go to the fourth brother's mansion to say! ”

Yang Zhi glanced at Qin Kongyun and frowned, "When did the eldest brother become such a virtuous character?" ”

Qin Kongyun smiled calmly: "I think he is just idle." ”

Among the four brothers, Qin Kongyun has always been very busy, and Yang Zhi has been even busier for more than a year. Xu Wenhan is very idle, and Wei Feiyang is even more idle. Wei Feiyang had no distractions after untying the knot. Study and practice martial arts at home with peace of mind. He had reached the age of eighteen, and he was tall and strong, full of spirit, and more and more heroic.

The three righteous brothers came together, and Wei Feiyang was overjoyed. Yang Zhi is in his mind. is also a teacher and a friend, and the relationship is the most intimate. As soon as he saw Yang Zhi, he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged him: "Third brother, you miss me!" ”

After a little greeting, before serving tea and sitting down, Yang Zhi went to meet Mrs. Wei first.

Yang Zhi has never enjoyed maternal love in his two lives. Mrs. Wei is gentle and loving, and has been regarded as her own mother by Yang Zhi. Gossip like a mother and son, and Mrs. Wei heard that Linglong had added a son and a daughter to Yang Zhi, and she couldn't stop laughing. Then his eyes were red and he sighed: "There are three so-called unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest." Zhi'er, the Yang family has only one single seedling, and you have four children, I am very happy for you, and I am envious! ”

"My poor daughter is gone, no more need to mention. Even when she was alive, due to the difference in royal majesty and status, the two little grandsons rarely saw each other on weekdays. A few months ago, thanks to the mercy of His Royal Highness King Yue, he was taken to the palace for a walk. Poor two children cowered like frightened chicks, and I didn't even see what they looked like! My family Feiyang has reached the age of 18, and his family affairs are still unsettled. In today's situation, Feiyang doesn't know when he can marry a wife and have children! ”

Yang Zhi couldn't help but be silent, he really shouldn't have said anything to comfort him for a while. He is a father, and Mrs. Wei's mood is completely understandable. is the most ruthless emperor's family, the prince was abolished and imprisoned for rebellion, Concubine Wei was martyred, and the two children are no different from the death of their parents. If it weren't for the emperor's grandson, the emperor ordered Concubine Mei to take care of it, whether he could save his life is unknown, how can he ask for anything else?

Wei Feiyang was implicated by his father Wei Su, and repeatedly "resigned" and demoted to a commoner, living in a simple house, like house arrest, and I don't know when he will see the light of day again. If it weren't for the support of the three sworn brothers, God knows what the situation would be like now? Since ancient times, the wall has fallen and everyone has pushed it, and it would be good if people didn't fall into the well, who would want to marry their daughter into the Wei family?

Because Daxia attaches great importance to population growth and has always encouraged childbearing, there are very few men who have reached the age of eighteen and have not talked about marriage, and Wei Feiyang is already an older unmarried young man. Mrs. Wei's worries are very realistic, but her worries are not something that Yang Zhi can solve, so she is also deeply helpless.

After thinking for a while, I don't know whether I was persuading Mrs. Wei or comforting myself: "Auntie, the past is over, and you can chase it in the future." You are now a family, and peace is a blessing. I won't say anything like the heavens will descend on the people. Feiyang is still young, honing his mind, studying and practicing martial arts, and boiling his body, this is a rare opportunity. ”

Since Wei Su's questioning, except for Yang Zhi's brothers, there have been almost no outsiders in the Wei Mansion. Mrs. Wei has always been kind and humble, and of course she knows that she needs to endure humiliation now. It's just that I've been depressed in my heart for a long time, so I just said that to Yang Zhi, who is like a nephew. Wei Su's health is getting better day by day, and his son is very filial and peaceful. Thinking about it carefully, what Yang Zhi said is not unreasonable, and he is relieved.

All in all, the life of Wei's father and son is still stable, and Xu Wenhan, Qin Kongyun and Yang Zhi are also smooth. The two kings competing for the crown prince and the unsalty and untamed court situation have little impact on the current lives of the four people. At the time of the banquet, there was basically no sensitive topic, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. The Chinese New Year should be a time of celebration and reunion, so why bother to block yourself?

Yang Zhiming is reporting on his work, but he is actually on vacation. As soon as the summary data of the Yamen, the governor of Jinling Customs, arrived, and he wrote a chapter and presented it to the emperor, the official business was over. In fact, the price had been negotiated with the emperor, just to be on the safe side, and to avoid the whims of the old emperor or his successor who one day would go through the old scores.

Accompany wives and concubines, tease children, visit relatives and friends, wander on the streets...... and occasionally mingle with the old man in a large group of guards, servants, and neighborhood idlers, shouting and gambling a few handfuls. This is the life of people, this is like the New Year!

Comfortable days are always short-lived.

If you have to say that Yang Zhi has changed when he returns to the Jinghou Mansion, it is that there are a few more inconspicuous servants and maids in the inner mansion, and there are a few more hired workers in the shops around the Hou Mansion in silence, and the nerves that Chang San and Zhu Ling'er have been tense can be relaxed a little in the future.

On the sixteenth day of the first month of the twenty-eighth year of Wucheng in the Xia calendar, Yang Zhi left Beijing again and embarked on a journey to Shandong.

In the new year, Yang Zhi had no pressure to hand over the 10 million taels of silver agreed with the emperor, but he still had a lot to do. (To be continued.) )
