233 Combing
"Why didn't we know anything about it?" Lin Yijia was suspicious, so she asked: "Although our family should still be in Guangzhou at that time, if you have made such a great achievement at the age of twelve, how can you be unknown for so many years?" β
Yang Guangbei shook his head and said, "In this matter, when it was organized, the three hundred soldiers would have voluntarily participated in the operation in private. We used to pretend to be horse bandits, not military operations, so we didn't report to the military department at all. Even if you report it...... The imperial court wants to be faced, how can it reward a group of 'horse bandits'? β
"And in the process of action, each of those soldiers gained extremely rich wealth, except for a few who already had positions, the vast majority of them were dismissed from the military, made a lot of money, and became rich men."
"My grandfather thought at the time that I was setting fire to the grassland, which was a desperate plan and would hurt the heavens. And I was only twelve at the time, and if someone knew the inside story, they would definitely think that I was a young person with a vicious mind...... My grandfather didn't want me to be so famous for the rest of my life, so he hid this action. The people who went out with me agreed. The news to the imperial court said that there were bandits wandering on the grassland...... Mixed up. β
"Except for those who participated in this matter, even my grandmother didn't know about it." Yang Guangbei looked at Lin Yijia and added, revealing a faint anxiety between his expressions.
He did that, and even an old general like his grandfather, who was accustomed to fighting on the battlefield all his life and saw life and death, thought it was a desperate plan, and thought he was ruthless...... What about Lin Yijia? What would she think of herself?
Yang Guangbei regretted a little, he shouldn't have said it so clearly.
Now. He stared at Lin Yijia's white and tender healthy face that was faintly pink, and didn't dare to miss any of her subtle expressions. staring, he suddenly found that the extremely fine transparent fluff on her skin was actually very cute......
Lin Yijia held the teacup, thought for a while, suddenly understood, and said, "So that's the case." Well, Chisato. Do you think that the essence of war is to do whatever it takes to win, and it is hypocritical to talk about kindness in war...... Is that so? β
This sentence shook Yang Guangbei's mind back from those wonderful fluffs.
It turned out that she was able to understand him...... Yang Guangbei couldn't help but smile. Nodding. He just can't see that it's a life-and-death war, and he still has to pay attention to it like this, so he thinks that war is really boring.
Lin Yijia bowed slightly and said, "I understand what you mean." But, Chisato. If it is as you say, the team that attacked me that day was directly under the orders of the current Wuxinghou. He's targeting both of us at the same time, how are you going to make him pay? He targeted you and me because he was afraid of losing his title, and if he didn't take his title, how could he pay the price? β
If a person harms others for "something", then he has to lose that "something" to really make him pay the price and be punished. For Yang Sanye, even if he lost his life. His title fell to his son, and that was to signify the fulfillment of his wish. He can also smile at Jiuquan.
Wu Xinghou is the foundation of the Yang family.
Yang Guangbei is a member of the Yang family, he respects his grandfather very much, and he will definitely not let the title of Wuxinghou lose its inheritance.
And he himself just didn't want it.
Well, Lin Yijia doesn't have to let Yang Guangbei ask for this title. But there has to be an arrangement for this title, right? And Second Master Yang already has the title of Duke of Guo under his name.
Yang Guangbei was silent.
He really didn't want the title of Wu Xinghou, because this title has always represented great military exploits. If Yang Sanye didn't come to trouble him and Lin Yijia, he really felt that Yang Sanye's merits would be worthy of this title, even if he was just a concubine.
Real military exploits have nothing to do with the concubines.
Yang Guangbei once thought that Yang Sanye deserved this title than Yang Erye.
But now......
Yang Guangbei was silent for a long time before sighing: "Yi'er, let me think about it again......"
When he said this, Yang Guangbei stared at Lin Yijia's face tightly, afraid of seeing disappointment on her face. But he looked very closely, but he didn't see anythingβ
Lin Yijia just nodded lightly and said, "Yes." β
There are no other words.
The warm hall was quiet for a while, and Yang Guangbei broke the silence by speaking out and talked about their wedding arrangements: "...... Grandmother was serious this time, and they didn't dare to be perfunctory at all......"
Sending Yang Guangbei away, Lin Yijia found Mrs. Lin, and saw that Mrs. Lin was reading, so she sat down beside her, put her head on Mrs. Lin's lap, and shouted softly "Mother" for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Lin put down the book and gently stroked her daughter's hair.
"Mother, will you forgive the person who hurt you?" Lin Yijia asked softly.
Mrs. Lin's hand combing her hair paused for a moment, and then she said, "It depends on what you forgive, and if you forgive, whether you can get anything else." β
Mrs. Lin is a perceptive woman, and Lin Shiqing usually doesn't hide anything from her outside. So, she immediately guessed the reason why her daughter asked this sentence. A flash of light flashed in her eyes, and she asked Lin Yijia, "But the Yang family?" β
Lin Yijia nodded slightly and said, "He said that the cousin of the Li family is under the orders of Yang Sanye. After a pause, she said again: "I see, he doesn't have any family affection for Yang Sanye...... He just didn't want that title. β
"It's stupid." Mrs. Lin sneered and said, "He said he didn't want it, and his third uncle would believe that he didn't want to?" I used to think he was a smart guy, but I didn't expect him to be a fool...... Alas, I now regret that I agreed to his plan and promised you to him......"
"Mother!"
What Mrs. Lin said earlier can be described as exquisite, but why did she joke about her marriage when she said it? Lin Yijia didn't comply, glared at Mrs. Lin angrily, and said embarrassedly: "My daughter is asking for your opinion, can you not say something useless!" β
She didn't show it in front of Yang Guangbei today, but she felt depressed in her heart!
"Good. Okay, it's my mother's fault. Mrs. Lin raised her right hand to signal that she had admitted her mistake, and then asked Lin Yijia to sit down, untied her bun, and took a horn comb to comb Lin Yijia's hair.
Mrs. Lin used just the right amount of strength, and there was a slight feeling of feverish pain, but it could make people relax unconsciously. Lin Yijia felt that the depression in her heart was much less all of a sudden.
But. Still stuffy.
While combing Lin Yijia's hair, Mrs. Lin said softly to Lin Yijia: "The key to the Yang family's problem is that Yang Sanye is afraid of gradually maturing and coming to prominence, and Yang Guangbei has the help of the Yue family. Yang Sanye thought that Yang Guangbei wanted to regain the title, but Yang Guangbei really didn't have this idea...... No matter what, Yang Sanye wouldn't believe that he didn't have this idea. Even if Yang Guangbei told Yang Sanye clearly. Yang Sanye wouldn't really believe that he didn't have this idea, he only thought that Yang Guangbei was paralyzing him......"
"It's like a tongue twister." Mrs. Lin smiled lightly.
Lin Yijia bit her lip.
Then she continued: "Yi'er, your temperament is not the greedy vanity. Therefore, whether you want this title or not, Yi'er, your mind turns out to be indifferent...... But what about now? Yang Sanye used his reputation to harm you, so you have hatred in your heart. It's best to snatch back the title he cares about...... Isn't that so? β
Lin Yijia bit her pink lip and nodded slightly. said softly: "That's why I came to ask my mother if he can be forgiven, and whether he deserves to be forgiven." β
"Then we have to see how to choose to make your future stable and happy...... That's what you want to pursue, not any glory and wealth. Mrs. Lin began to pull Lin Yijia's hair, and she didn't let Lin Yijia nod. Obviously, he knew his daughter very well, and said, "What about the contradictions of the Yang family? If you can take advantage of all kinds of contradictions. reminded the eldest princess to divide the family, and the contradiction between the big house and the third room will be gone, and you and he will be able to live the little life you want...... Then, it is worth forgiving the third master once. β
"And if the Yang family can't be separated for ten or eight years, the contradiction between Yang Guangbei and Yang Sanye will exist for a long time...... It is friend or foe, and what should be decided must be made immediately, and less mud and water are the best. β
"So, the key is, will the eldest princess split up immediately?" Lin Yijia pursed her lips, looked at the mirror that Mrs. Lin had already pulled a beautiful cirrus bun for her, and said softly: "Mother, I understand." Thank you. β
"Silly girl, what's polite to your mother."
Lin Yijia admired her work, looked for a while from her jewelry box before finding a gold-inlaid jade pink jade peach hairpin, put it on for Lin Yijia, the corner of her mouth was full of smiles, and said, "Not bad!" My daughter really looks good no matter how she dresses. It's really cheap, that kid surnamed Yang. β
"When I saw his father and mother from afar, I thought they were all very good-looking, why did he look too ordinary? It's really ......" Mrs. Lin was joking, but she was really dissatisfied when she said it, and said: "How beautiful my daughter is, it's a real loss to be with him......"
Among the several sons-in-law of the Lin family, Zhao Shiyan is handsome, Zhao Shiyun is handsome, Kang Yong is masculine, and even Tang Lianping's face is not bad...... In real terms, Yang Guangbei can only be ranked last. And Lin Yijia is the most beautiful among the sisters...... With such a gap, Mrs. Lin was really uneasy for a while.
Lin Yijia couldn't cry or laugh a little, and the depressed breath in her heart disappeared when she didn't know when.
Before leaving, Mrs. Lin patted Lin Yijia's arm and said, "Don't worry, my mother will let your father talk to him." The boy of the Yang family, looking silent, is actually quite smart. β
"Mother, why don't you think he's stupid?" Lin Yijia wanted to roll her eyes.
Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "Well...... Didn't you notice Yi'er, whether it is your eldest brother Song or your eldest brother-in-law Zhao, they are very serious and cautious when facing the Yang family's boys? This shows that they know a lot about the Yang family kid, and they will agree with him if they know his details...... Haven't you noticed that those two have different attitudes towards your second and fourth brothers-in-law? β
"This shows that Yang Guangbei and them are at least as smart people as them, while Zhao Shiyun and Tang Lianping are not at the same level as them at all......" Mrs. Lin put away her smile, patted Lin Yijia's arm again, and comforted her: "So, Xiaoliu, don't worry too much, he knows how to choose." β
Lin Yijia was stunned for a moment, and chuckled: "I listen to my mother." β
It turned out that her mother-in-law had confidence in Yang Guangbei. Then, she Lin Yijia is also willing to believe that he will make a good choice.
After Laba, the New Year has arrived all at once.
Strictly speaking, the Lin family is still filial piety (Lin Yijia is a grandchild, so it is a nine-month heavy filial piety; Lin Shiqing and Lin Shigui are sons, and they are filial piety for 3927 months, but they are not so strict in the back), and they did not prepare too much excitement. Behind closed doors, the family pondered making dumplings and dumplings by themselves.
Of course, there are more than a dozen types of dumpling fillings, even the rice balls, the Lin family is not limited to the taste of the north and the south, what small rice balls and big rice balls, sweet fillings such as sesame bean paste, salty fillings such as egg yolk marinated meat, and fruit fillings such as banana pineapples and the like, it is really varied and dazzling.
The ladies (Mrs. Lin, Li and Lin Yijia) and the children (Lin Jiayun) all had a good time, and they gave away a lot of finished products, not to mention a lot of praise.
"Did Aunt Li send it there?" Lin Yijia asked. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
