Chapter 23 The root of the Yang family

Since Yang Su's most beloved Gu Kai's famous painting "Drawing of the Qin" appeared in the Zheng family,)

Mrs. Zheng has now become a secluded house in the Yang Mansion, and it is extremely difficult to see her, except for the big tent room who goes to her every two days to report and approve the money.

In the west wing, Mrs. Zheng slowly drank a bowl of bird's nest porridge with a gloomy face, her face has been gloomy, she has not smiled since this year, she herself is a narrow-minded, mean woman, her heart is always full of resentment, she will not be so happy with everyone, always have to make things difficult for the other party, she is a little more comfortable, and she especially holds grudges, she will keep in mind the big things of sesame, and she has been lingering for more than ten years.

Mrs. Zheng is nearly fifty years old this year, and her mean heart can be seen from her appearance, with high cheekbones, thin lips, a thin body, and eyes full of shrewdness and resentment.

A maid hurriedly walked in and saluted, "Madam, the Zheng family has sent someone." ”

When it comes to her mother's family, Mrs. Zheng is angry, she quietly gave the painting to her eldest brother, and specially told him not to make a noise, but he just showed off, making the city full of wind and rain, she had to find a way to get the painting back, otherwise she couldn't explain her husband's return.

"Let the Zheng family come in!"

In a moment, a middle-aged woman was ushered in, this is the concubine of her eldest brother Zheng Shanyuan, since the sister-in-law has died, this concubine is actually the head of the Zheng family's inner house.

"Greetings to Madame!" The middle-aged woman gave Mrs. Zheng a salute when she entered the door.

"Is there anything you want me to do?" Mrs. Zheng said coldly.

"Madam, the lord sent me to say, this year's harvest is not very good, and the Zheng family wants to ask Madame to borrow some grain."

'Borrow some food?' ’

Mrs. Zheng sneered, she borrowed 20,000 stone of grain the year before last, and borrowed 50,000 yuan last year, but she never paid it back at all, and she wants to borrow grain this year, what is she?

Mrs. Zheng held back her anger and asked, "How much does he want to borrow?" ”

"The lord said, this year I will borrow a little less, 15,000 stones. ()”

"Fifteen thousand stones!"

Mrs. Zheng suddenly became angry in her heart, now that the price of grain in the capital has increased several times, he is embarrassed to ask for so much.

"Impossible!"

Mrs. Zheng flatly refused, "The Yang family also failed to harvest this year, and they couldn't get so much grain." ”

The middle-aged woman glanced at her timidly, "The master said, if it is really difficult, then 10,000 stones will do." ”

Mrs. Zheng took a sip of tea and said coldly: "10,000 stone of grain can be given to him, but he must return the painting to me last time, and now my husband is tracking down this painting, I can't explain it, I have this attitude, you go!" That's my condition. ”

The middle-aged woman Shi Yili left, and the maid next to her couldn't help but remind Mrs. Zheng, "Madam, now that the Yang Mansion is making a lot of trouble, you can give the Zheng family ....... food again."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Zheng splashed a bowl of bird's nest on her face and scolded angrily, "Get out!" You little slave dare to accuse me. ”

The maid covered her face and ran out, and Mrs. Zheng was extremely annoyed.

．．．．．．．．．

Yang Jishan's wife, Yue, was entrusted by her husband to hurriedly walk into the main courtyard of the house to see Mrs. Zheng and apologize for her son's matter, and more importantly, she wanted to get back two months' monthly money.

As soon as she walked into the inner courtyard, she heard someone whimpering and crying behind the rockery, and there seemed to be someone next to her who was persuading.

"Sister Ziyang, Madame is this temper, don't be sad."

"I kindly persuaded her not to do stupid things, but she didn't listen, and even splashed bird's nest on my face, I... I ....." The little maid was so aggrieved that she whimpered and cried again. ，

It is a woman's nature to care about the shortcomings of the parents, which is especially manifested in the Yue family, her biggest hobby is to ask the east parents, the west family is short, she knows that Zi Yang is Mrs. Zheng's personal maid, I heard that Mrs. Zheng is doing stupid things, the curiosity in Yue's heart was hooked up all of a sudden, so she quietly approached and hid behind to eavesdrop.

"Madame's mood has been bad lately, don't mess with her, hey! Madame is also really ..... It's too much for his mother's family, not only giving treasures, but also food. ”

"Not only food, but also money! The year before last, the Zheng family was given 30,000 stone rice, last year they were given 50,000 hanging, and this year they will give 10,000 stone of grain, how expensive is the price of grain now! If the Yang family knows about it, it will make a fuss. ”

Behind the rockery, Yue's covered her mouth, Mrs. Zheng was so bold that she gave the Yang family's money and grain of tens of thousands of stones and tens of thousands of hangings to the Zheng family, and thinking that she would not even give her own family's dozens of hanging money, Yue's heart suddenly became angry, and she had no intention of going to Mrs. Zheng again, quietly slipped out of the yard, and ran home........

In the room, Yang Jishan and his brother Yang Renxing were discussing countermeasures, and Yang Yuanqing proposed to him a specific plan to be equal, which not only required Yang Wei to lead the younger generations to fight, but also asked them elders to play a role, but where to start, Yang Jishan was confused, he didn't sleep all night last night, but he couldn't think of a good entry point.

Yang Renxing is the sixth son of Yang Su and the youngest son, and has a very good relationship with Yang Jishan, and there is also a concubine Yang Wanshi, who has been named the general of Yingyang Lang and went to Liaodong to fight.

Although Yang Renxing is not very interested in Yang Yuanqing, he is very enthusiastic about the equality of his concubines, which means that he has to get three times more money and food every year, which is a temptation that is difficult to refuse for any concubine.

The two discussed for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a feasible plan, and at this time, Yang Jishan's wife Yue hurriedly ran into the courtyard.

"Jishan, I have something to tell you!"

Yue ran into the room with an excited face, and when she saw that Yang Renxing was also there, she was a little embarrassed, "It turns out that Yang Renxing is also there!" ”

Yang Renxing saw that their husband and wife had something to say, so he got up to say goodbye, and when Yang Ren walked, Yang Jishan asked, "Look at your excitement, what's the matter?" ”

Yue hurriedly stepped forward and said a few words to her husband in her ear, Yang Jishan was taken aback, "What you said is serious?" ”

"I overheard what her personal maid said, so I shouldn't be wrong."

Yang Jishan gasped and used the Yang family's money and food to subsidize his mother's family, He Ruoyun didn't dare to do this back then, the sister-in-law was too bold, it was too much, and Yang Jishan was also angry.

He thought about it again, this matter is not trivial, he wants to tell Yang Yuanqing, listen to his opinion, thinking of this, Yang Jishan repeatedly told his wife that this matter must not be said, saying it will affect Wei'er's future, will affect the family's money and food, and will affect the life of his baby grandson, in short, he must use the most serious consequences to suppress his wife in order to control her mouth.

．．．．．．．．．

Half an hour later, Yang Jishan appeared in Yang Yuanqing's study, and told Yang Yuanqing the news that his wife had gotten, although Yang Jishan was indignant, but Yang Yuanqing was not surprised at all, the Zheng family is Mrs. Zheng's backer, in order to envelop her mother's family, it is not surprising that Mrs. Zheng used the power in her hands to convey a little benefit to her mother's family.

A famous painting, tens of thousands of stone grain, tens of thousands of hanging money, this is not much for the huge wealth of the Yang family, but the timing of this incident is unfortunate, it is just when the Yang Mansion is not calm, once this matter is opened, it is estimated that his father Yang Xuangan's position as the head of the family will not be able to continue, if there is no support from the family and family wealth, what will Yang Xuangan rebel against?

Thinking of this, Yang Yuanqing turned around from the window and said to Yang Jishan: "Fourth uncle, don't be in a hurry about this matter, wait for the 10,000 stone grain incident to happen, and then do it!" ”

．．．．．．．．．．

Yang Jishan said goodbye and left, Yang Yuanqing sat on the table, quietly pondering the matter, at this time, his wife Pei Minqiu's voice came from outside the door of the study, "Husband, everyone is in the car, just waiting for you." ”

"I see, here we go!"

Yang Yuanqing cleaned up his desk a little, then got up and walked out.

Several carriages have been parked in the outer courtyard, and one hundred and twenty personal guards have all been mounted, this is Yang Yuanqing's family is going to live in the manor for a few days, and a house in their manor has been renovated at the end of last year.

"Sorry! I'm sorry! It's late. ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled and got into the first carriage, which was very spacious, and his two wives and several children were in this carriage.

As soon as he sat down, the two daughters cheered and threw themselves into his arms, the eldest daughter Yang Bing is four years old, and the second daughter Yang Sihua is also two years old, both daughters look like their mothers, they are generally well-behaved and cute, and they are both Yang Yuanqing's treasures.

Pei Minqiu smiled on the side: "Why doesn't Daddy come to love our Ning'er?" ”

Yang Yuanqing's son was named Yang Ning, now only three months old, and was sleeping sweetly in the cradle next to him at this time, Yang Yuanqing saw that his son was sleeping sweetly, so he couldn't help but reach out and pinch his red little face, and said with a smile: "The little guy is sleeping soundly, don't disturb him, accompany his daughter first." ”

Pei Minqiu and Izuchen sat in the back row, talking in a low voice, while Yang Yuanqing held a daughter in one hand and whispered to them about the situation outside the window.

"Daddy, the nurse said that the world will be in chaos, what is the chaos in the world?"

The eldest daughter, Bing'er, already understood a little bit about things, and she looked at her father very seriously with her big black eyes.

Yang Yuanqing tugged at the eldest daughter's pigtails lovingly, and said with a smile: "The chaos in the world is that many people have no house to live in and no food to eat. ”

"Daddy, will we run out of food?"

"No!"

Yang Yuanqing said with a smile: "With your father here, you will have a house to live and something to eat." ”

Yang Yuanqing hugged his two little and lovely daughters, looked back at Minqiu and Chuchen, both of them were looking at him with a smile, Yang Yuanqing felt an indescribable warmth in his heart, this is his home, his relatives, his shoulders not only have to bear the world, but also protect his family.

In the light rain, the carriage moved slowly, and more than a hundred guards escorted several carriages along the official road to the east.
