Lu Liangwei, Yang family of Zhuangyuan Lane.

There are two families in Zhuangyuan Lane, the people on the street are the Ruan family who produced six champions in the previous dynasty, the first emperor changed the name of Luhua Lane to Zhuangyuan Lane, and also set up a stone archway of 'champion and first' at the mouth of the alley for people to pay respect.

The people at the end of the street are the Yang family, a family that has been in Yunnan for hundreds of years, the Yang family is one of the few old families in Yunnan, the first-class Qinggui, and there are two Jinshi in the Yang family of this generation, one of which is Gu Yutang's second uncle, who did the Zhan affairs of the prince's mansion.

The other is Gu Yutang's third uncle, who was a jinshi in the two lists of the previous dynasty, and now he is sent to Luzhou and is the parent official of Luzhou.

Mrs. Gu Yang is the youngest daughter of the old lady of the Yang family, and the old lady of the Yang family has a daughter in her later years, and others laugh at the old lady of the Yang family for being an old mussel, but only the old lady of the Yang family knows how difficult it is for her to get this daughter.

The old lady of the Yang family died early, and the old lady of the Yang family and the two aunts and three people pulled the seven children, kept the ancestral property of the Yang family, and let several children enter the official career, and took care of the entire Yang family in an orderly manner. Now the Yang family is like flowers and brocade, cooking oil on fire, compared with the Ruan family, which is the champion on the street, I don't know how much more expensive.

The ancestral home of the Yang family, Tonglu House, is in a Buddhist hall in the backyard. Mrs. Yang has been worshiping Buddha for many years, this is the Buddha hall that several sons helped her to buy, although the place is not big, but the flowers and fruits, incense, candles and curtains are very neatly arranged, and the white jade statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva is three feet high, the jade is moist, the lines are smooth, the craftsmanship is exquisite, and the Bodhisattva is kind and quietly overlooking all beings.

The old lady of the Yang family wore a navy blue lotus auspicious pattern gown, her silver hair was full of hairpins, and she knelt in front of the Buddha and moved the Buddha beads.

I don't know what's going on, the one hundred and eight red coral beads in Mrs. Yang's hand suddenly broke apart and scattered all over the ground, Mrs. Yang opened her eyes, looked at the Buddha beads scattered on the ground, and asked Master Miaoshan beside her, "Master, not long ago, the little girl handed over a letter from Chengjiang, and now it seems that the little girl's marriage is over?"

"Don't say it, don't say it. Everything is promising, like a dream bubble, the second girl is also something I grew up watching, and if I can help her, I will naturally help her. The old lady should concentrate on worshipping the Buddha! "Master Miao Shan is a master of the Guanyin Monastery and a close friend of Mrs. Yang's boudoir, who realized the Buddha nature at the age of 28 in a family ruin and came to practice at the Guanyin Monastery, the largest temple of Lu Liangwei.

Every year, when the old lady of the Yang family is dead, Mrs. Yang will invite her to recite the scriptures for a few days, so that she can talk.

At this time, the wooden door of the Buddhist hall was suddenly pushed open, and Gu Yutang's eldest uncle, Yang Zhen, the eldest master of the Yang family, suddenly walked in, looking panicked, as if something big had happened. didn't care about the outsiders in the house, opened his mouth and said: "Mother, Gu Lichi's house is really not a thing, he actually let down Xiao Ying, and he wants to marry an outer room to come in and separate from Xiao Ying." Mother, you have to think of a way for Xiaoying! ”

Mrs. Yang put down the Nanmu Buddha beads in her hand, stood up with the hand of the little maid beside her, sat on the wooden chair on the side, and said, "Who told you this?" Originally, I was going to hide it from you, Xiao Ying and Gu Lichi's marriage was originally brokered by you, Gu Lichi's house was also introduced by you, what you said was so good, I promised Xiao Ying to him, if not, how could I let someone like Gu get involved with Xiao Ying. ”

"Mother, I was wrong, I didn't know anyone at the beginning, and I was deceived by Gu Lichi's rhetoric, how do I know that he is such a person now. I beg my mother to punish me. Yang Zhen said, knelt down without saying anything, and knelt in front of Mrs. Yang.

"You stupid boy, now you are about to be a grandfather, and you kneel down so easily, you let your grandchildren see you like this, but how do you look at you, hurry up." Old Mrs. Yang said, and instructed the little maid behind her, Gu Yu, to help Yang Zhen up.

"Brother Li of Xiaoying's family is getting sicker and sicker, and this time I specially asked the fourth brother to escort Dr. Zhang down and treat Brother Li, and he hasn't come back yet. Gu Lichi's house just saw that no one in our Yang family went to support Xiao Ying, so he dared to quarrel with Xiao Ying in the Gu Mansion. Yang Zhen said again.

"I know all this, Mrs. An is the mother-in-law I placed next to Xiao Ying to serve, just in case Gu Lichi loses Xiao Ying, and no one reports the news to me. You know that your sister has always been strong, and she can only swallow it in her stomach if she breaks her teeth, when did she come to beg you and me?" As Mrs. Yang spoke, she suddenly sighed a few times.

If the Yang family wants to ask her mother's family to come out for her, she is afraid that she has already written a letter back, so why do you need to let a mother-in-law come back to report the news?

The reason why Mrs. Yang is not moving now is to wait for Yang to write back in person.

"Did Sister Tang write to you this time and tell you all this?" Mrs. Yang asked casually.

"Yes, Sister Tang is much more sensible now, and she wrote to me when she knew that her mother had been wronged, asking me to give Xiaoying a head. She was a good boy, and she had been sick before, but it took a long time to get better. Yang Zhen looked at Mrs. Yang and said slowly.

"Gu Lichi and Xiaoying's marriage was brokered by you, and now that it has become like this, it is better for you to go to Chengjiang to have a look. Our Yang family has not remarried for six generations, you should also persuade Gu Lichi's family to let him know the proportions, don't really think that our Yang family is easy to bully. Mrs. Yang said, tightening the Nanmu Buddha beads in her hand, almost tearing the Buddha beads apart.

"Don't be angry, the old lady has her own children and grandchildren, and the second girl is not the kind of person who is easy to handle, don't argue with Gu Lichi after Uncle Yang goes, so as not to cause more trouble." Master Miao Shan looked at Yang Zhen and reminded him kindly.

It is said that the heavenly secret cannot be revealed, but the Yang family has a great relationship with her, and she also donated so much sesame oil money to the temple in a year, but she still leaked the sentence, hoping that Yang Zhen himself can understand it.

Yang Zhen is the commander of Lu Liangwei's Flying Fish Guard, he can only go to Chengjiang if he goes to the guard post to report his leave, and the fake note of the guard post is approved.

After returning from the guard, he went back to his yard in Zhuangyuan Lane, Yang Zhen married a girl from the Ruan family's big house in Zhuangyuan Lane, in the early years, Ruan's was weak and sickly, and was once considered unable to get pregnant, Yang Zhen's biological mother, Aunt Lin, wanted to stuff people into Yang Zhen's courtyard three or four times, but Yang Zhen stopped her.

Later, Yang Zhen was promoted to an official and became the commander of the guard, and Ruan's illness gradually improved, and he gave birth to his eldest son Yang Ming and second son Yang Hui. Yang Ming followed the path of the Ruan family, entered the official career, and was the only person in the Yang family who successfully entered the palace examination, married the prince's niece, and became a young Zhan in the prince's mansion.

Not long ago, I heard that my son's daughter-in-law Cheng had grandchildren, and Yang Zhen was so happy that he couldn't sleep for a while, which made Ruan's worry for half a month.

He is past the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but he still speaks like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child, so why is Ruan not worried?

"Ah Cai, now that the two sons have been settled, you are still depressed all day long, why don't you accompany me to Chengjiang for a few days this time. You haven't seen Xiaoying for a long time, so it's easy for you two sisters-in-law to talk to each other. Yang Zhen held Ruan's hand, with a smile between the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, like two couples who had just become married.
