Concubine Jiang left, not just pull her legs and leave, the affairs of the palace should be arranged, and the rebuilding of King Xing's mausoleum should also be arranged, Yang Chengzu can use these few days to go home to accompany his woman, and dispose of the family property by the way.

But at his point, it is also a luxury to want to accompany his woman and stepmother at home. As soon as the front foot returned home, the back foot of the invitation came one after another. No matter what kind of popularity he has in the Jingshi, and no matter whether the famous families in Jiangnan regard him as a public enemy, at least here in Anlu, there are many people who want to find out the news from him, and some people are in a hurry to follow his door.

Becoming lucky, of course, will gain a lot of white eyes and contempt, and become the object of some people's performance. But for most people, Yu Xing is still the target they should be, not stupid enough to rush out and face the enemy head-on.

Some of these invitations can be pushed, and the other part must be entertained. Yang Chengzu had no choice but to pinch Liu's shoulders while smiling bitterly: "Really, it has become a luxury to want to give my mother a good back and shoulder rubbing." ”

"It's okay with my brother, I can do it, when my brother is away, I can rub my mother's shoulders and beat my back, I'm very well-behaved and great." Mi'e said as she raised her small fist, showing how powerful she was.

Liu smiled and hugged Mei'e in his arms, "Yes, Xiao Mei'e is obedient, she is our pistachio, with her, my mother will not be bored." What's more, there are big clowns who accompany me, and my mother's health is also very good, so don't worry. Men, always have to do things, your father was just a hundred households in brocade clothes back then, and now you have become a three-product commander, and your achievements are far above your father. In the future, our family will rely on you, how can my mother hold you back? ”

She looked at the invitations, "These days, our family relies on the Sun family a lot, others don't say, Sun Weng's side, why do you have to go there, don't let people think that we are rich and easy wives, noble and easy friends." ”

When Yang Chengzu set off for Beijing, his family had already begun to sell his property, and most of the shops and fields under his name had turned into cash. The Sun family is the biggest pick-up man in this, and the price given is very conscientious, and he did not take advantage of the fire to rob, and the Liu family is very grateful. Moreover, she has a very good opinion of Xue Niang, from her point of view, she still supports Yang Chengzu to marry Xue Niang, and she is very keen on the Sun family.

Yang Chengzu smiled bitterly and didn't make any reply, he knew in his heart that although Sun Jiao was a good person, he also had a good relationship with his own family. But this time Yang Tan Zhishi, Sun Jiao became the head of the household again, and after he took office, he was afraid that he would become enemies with himself. After all, the current situation in Jingshi, opposing himself is a correct position, and Sun Jiao is unlikely to stand on his own side.

In addition, although the Sun family is not involved in those account books and letters, the Sun family's in-laws are inevitably involved. But in any case, this invitation cannot be denied, after all, this person is likely to be the future ruler, and he cannot offend such an important role.

The arrangement of the Sun family is also quite intimate, from beginning to end, it is not so much a banquet as a family banquet. Sun Jiao also knew that he had been reinstated, and this time he was going to enter Beijing with the Queen Mother, and he also said a few words between the banquets that he was old and frail, afraid that he would be overwhelmed and have feelings such as negative grace.

During the final banquet, no one mentioned anything about the court, until they were full of wine and food, and the talented men of the children of the clan began to praise the saintly virtues by chanting poems and giving gifts. Sun Jiao took Yang Chengzu to the inner room together, saying that he wanted to see a few pairs of calligraphy and paintings left by his ancestors.

As soon as the person entered the inner hall, the door was closed, and a relatively independent space was formed in the room, Sun Jiao casually took out an ancient painting and gently unfolded it, and said casually: "Yang Ziquan is a Jinshi who has been in Chenghua for 23 years, and Xianggao Gong is in the same department. ”

"Sun Weng is an understanding person, so there is no need for juniors to say anything more about things here. I think you're a good old man, so you must already know the secret. ”

"yes, that's why I don't understand because I know." Sun Jiao's voice was still so calm: "You are a smart descendant, and among the descendants of my family, there are not many people as smart as you." The old man has always thought that you, as a military minister, have bent the materials, and you should study and take the examination, and then embark on the right path of the imperial examination. I also have two or three old friends in Beijing, and I also know a little about you, and I am becoming more and more incomprehensible about your behavior. ”

The scroll of this painting is quite long, and Sun Jiao unfolded it little by little unhurriedly, and the painting seemed to be a landscape, and he couldn't see it clearly for a while. "Jiang Bin has already decided on Dabi, I heard that the original discussion was about punishment, but later you said good things for him, so it was changed to Dabi. Even his wife, concubines, daughters-in-law, and daughters-in-law were bought by you to be used as domestic slaves in the house, what is this for? As far as the old man knows, there doesn't seem to be much friendship between you. ”

"The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the thing hurts it. Now in the eyes of many people, Jiang Bin and I are the same dog, and if I help him today, I will treat it as if I am helping myself. ”

"It turns out that you have a number of these in your own heart, which saves the old man's lips and tongues. It is the duty of being a courtier to be loyal to the monarch. However, the path you are taking now is not the path of loyalty, but the path of luck, or rather, a ...... Impasse! ”

Someone outside seemed to have made a good work, causing a burst of appreciation, which spread all the way to the inner room, and the silence of the inner room became more and more apparent.

"Those letters and account books, I think you should know, they also have their own inconsistencies. Running a family is not as easy as you think, and sometimes, you always have to do something against your will, or do more to protect the lives of thousands of people. It's not a good thing to grasp this handle, Jiang Bin's lesson from the past, you shouldn't forget, being a brocade guard, you can also be a gentleman, instead of going further and further on the wrong road. ”

"Sun Weng's teachings, the younger generation is inscribed, but there are some things that I really don't want to choose, so I have to choose. Once some roads are walked up, there is no turning back, Sun Weng has been an official for many years, and his understanding should be more profound than that of the younger generation, right? ”

Sun Jiao shook his head, this painting has been completely opened, "This is left by the ancestors of my family, a picture of quarrying allegiance." It depicts the scene of my grandson's ancestors charging into battle for the Hongwu Emperor and making meritorious contributions. Originally left at home as a family heirloom, this is a hand-drawn copy of the old man, with my inscription on it. As a dowry for Xue Niang, it will be sent to her husband's house in the future. Are you interested in this painting? ”

Yang Chengzu glanced at it a few times, praised a few words, and finally said: "The younger generation is a rough person, he doesn't know how to write and ink, such a good calligraphy and painting should still be placed in the palace and enjoyed by the Son of Heaven. Sun Weng also has to think twice. ”
