Chapter 30: A Visit to the Yang Mansion

Previous Chapter

After Cheng Qingyue and his entourage arrived at Yang's mansion, they happened to see Yang Jinghe, who was dressed in a strong suit, was practicing, and saw that she was skilled in marksmanship, and a spear danced in her hand without losing her strength.

After watching it for a while, Xiao Junyan couldn't help but applaud: "Good marksmanship!" ”

Hearing the cheers, Yang Jinghe withdrew his spear, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and stepped forward to salute Jiang Yichen with a fist: "See the prince!" ”

Jiang Yichen nodded to signal her to excuse herself, and praised: "The county lord is good at marksmanship, and with the skills of the county lord, he will be able to deter the enemy with one enemy and ten enemies." ”

Yang Jinghe listened, and said without sadness or arrogance: "Xie Wang Ye and Xiao Gongzi Kaozan, Jing He heard that Wang Ye and Xiao Gongzi are both first-class masters, and even Miss Cheng's swordsmanship is also very powerful. ”

Xiao Junyan waved his hand and said: "The county lord doesn't have to be modest, Xiao has also visited my Jiang country and met countless masters, although the county lord's marksmanship is not the most powerful, but it is definitely the top in my Jiang country." ”

Cheng Qingyue also continued: "What they said is right, even if I compete with the county lord, Qingyue doesn't dare to say that I will definitely be able to win the county lord." However, I just observed the marksmanship of the county lord, and I always felt that the county lord seemed to be restrained by something, and he did not fully exert the power of the gun. ”

Jiang Yichen naturally saw the problem, and he echoed: "Yue'er is right, the county lord lives in the army all the year round, trains with soldiers and soldiers, and is subject to military law, so naturally you don't have what you want when you practice swords."

Yang Jinghe sincerely admired: "The prince and Miss Cheng really have vicious eyes, in fact, I have long been aware of this, but I can't break through myself, so my marksmanship has been stagnant." ”

Jiang Yichen comforted: "The county lord doesn't have to be discouraged, the county lord has a deep foundation, and it is a matter of time before he improves his marksmanship, so don't worry too much." ”

"Thank you for your guidance!"

She welcomed the three of them to the main hall and asked, "I don't know what the prince has to do today, unfortunately, my father went to Cui's mansion for a banquet today, and my brother is also in the army to rectify military affairs, and he will come back later." ”

Cheng Qingyue answered: "We are not looking for General Yang today, but we came today to thank the county lord for saving his life that day." ”

Yang Jinghe smiled and said: "Miss Cheng is polite, it's just a gesture, don't take it to heart." ”

"Hey, I must thank you this time," Xiao Junyan shook his fan and said: "You don't know, Qingyue is very important to Brother Jiang, so this time he owes you a big favor, if you have any requirements, just mention it at this time, he will definitely agree to you." ”

Jiang Yichen glanced at Xiao Junyan seemingly casually, but Xiao Junyan read the word "eventful" from his eyes.

Yang Jinghe heard Xiao Junyan say this, somehow, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but this feeling was fleeting, she adjusted her mood and said: "Even if it is a strange woman, Jinghe will never stand by and watch, not to mention the prince's confidante, Jinghe will never help him." ”

Xiao Junyan clapped his hands and praised: "The county lord is really a frank and cheerful person, much stronger than those who use all their means to play tricks, you friend, I have made it!" ”

Cheng Qingyue poured cold water on him: "Don't be your wishful thinking." ”

Looking at Xiao Junyan's resentful expression, Yang Jinghe felt a little funny, and also felt that he was very interesting and a good candidate for friends, so he smiled and said: "It is Jinghe's honor to be appreciated by Xiao Gongzi, where is Jinghe unwilling." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Junyan immediately had confidence, "See, the county lord also appreciates me, I really regret not coming to the capital earlier, in that case, I can make more friends like Cui Ziqian and the county lord, instead of bad friends like you." ”

Cheng Qingyue pursed her lips and chuckled, ignoring him.

A few people chatted for a while, Yang Chengzhi and Yang Jingye came back one after another, as soon as Yang Jingye came back, he reported to Jiang Yichen about the situation in Cui's mansion, it turned out that Cui Hao also intended to marry him.

Jiang Yichen had expected that this would be the result, and the situation that the prime minister and the concubine could see, he Cui Hao could also see.

"Hahaha," Xiao Junyan laughed, "County Lord, this is very good, that Cui Ziqian and we are also friends, he is really a good person, and he is also a good match for the County Lord." ”

Cheng Qingyue glanced at him: "According to what you say, good people have to be together, and Sister Wanying is also a good person, why don't you stay with her?" ”

Xiao Junyan didn't know how to answer, so he couldn't help but provoke this female rakshasa, so he simply remained silent and listened to what they said.

"Father, now that we are loyal to the prince, how can we marry him."

Yang Jingye naturally understood, and he said: "My father knows, it's just a matter of being false with him and confusing him temporarily." ”

Hearing his father say this, Yang Jinghe was relieved.

Jiang Yichen said to Yang Jingye again: "This time the prime minister has made meritorious contributions, presumably the queen has taken this opportunity to ask the emperor for marriage, and the emperor should summon you to the palace to discuss in the next two days, you have to be ready." ”

Without waiting for Yang Jingye to speak, Yang Chengzhi decisively refused: "On the day of the celebration banquet, the queen summoned me, and I have explained to him that I will not marry another wife in this life. ”

Jiang Yichen said: "It doesn't matter what you think, what matters is whether the emperor is willing to let you marry, if the emperor is willing, he will come down with a holy decree, you have no room to refuse, the queen also has this idea, so she is in a hurry to ask for marriage." However, as far as I know, the emperor did not immediately agree to her, but wanted to summon General Yang to discuss, which also shows that the emperor gave you room to refuse. ”

Yang Chengzhi understood the reason after thinking about it for a while, and couldn't help but settle down.

The three of them talked for a while, only to see Chang Rui walk in with a serious face, he looked at Jiang Yichen, Jiang Yichen understood, and signaled that there were no outsiders here, although the report was.

Chang Rui said: "Lord Wang, you ordered the humble post to secretly observe Zhang Huaiqing, just now news came from his mansion that his daughter Zhang Biyun committed suicide."

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard it, especially Yang Chengzhi and Cheng Qingyue, the two of them had only seen her two days ago, such a living person, suddenly disappeared, which couldn't help but make people sigh.

Yang Chengzhi asked urgently: "What's the matter?"

Chang Rui reported to him: "I heard that Lord Zhang Huaiqing forced her to marry General Yang, but she didn't comply, so she committed suicide."

Xiao Junyan gasped and sighed: "Why can't this girl think about it so much, if she doesn't want to marry, she won't marry, why bother with her life, besides, Brother Yang is not a fierce and evil person, is it so difficult to marry him?"

Cheng Qingyue doesn't want to complain about Xiao Junyan anymore, he has always praised people for being unique, which makes people dare not compliment.

Chang Rui replied: "Xiao Gongzi thinks simply, according to the investigation of the humble position, that Zhang Biyun is one of the many children of Lord Zhang Huaiqing, and her mother is from a humble background, so she has always been unfavored, and the reason why she was chosen to marry General Yang this time is only because she has a gentle personality and outstanding appearance." Originally, if she could marry General Yang, she would have a good home, but Miss Zhang was despised by the people in the house since she was a child, and it was the housekeeper's son who has been helping her. ”

Cheng Qingyue was moved after hearing this, and she couldn't imagine that Miss Zhang, who looked weak, was so brave in the face of love, which is really admirable and regrettable.

Also shocked is Yang Jinghe, she has a bold personality since she was a child, and when she grew up, she lived in the military all the year round, and never knew what the love between men and women was, once, for her brother's infatuation with her sister-in-law, she only admired, but she couldn't experience this feeling.

Now, there is another person next to her who gives up his life for love, so she is more curious than anyone else at the moment, what kind of love is like to make people brave.

Of course, she also regretted Zhang Biyun's death, if she was such a loyal woman, she could marry her brother and be her sister-in-law, she would be very happy, thinking of this, she couldn't help but cry out for her: "Even if it's an unfavored daughter, there's no need to force her to death, right?" ”

Jiang Yichen listened to her words and behaved very calmly, but her words were full of sarcasm: "Since ancient times, children's marriages have been the words of their parents and the appointment of concubines, not to mention that this marriage has a great impact on Zhang's family, and the happiness of his daughter is nothing to Zhang Huaiqing."

Yang Jingye has experienced a lot of things, so he is not surprised after being surprised, "What the prince said is that a family like the Zhang family is their lifelong pursuit to carry forward the family, so as to be Zhang Biyun's concubine, she really has no room for resistance." ”

Hearing everyone's regret, Yang Chengzhi blamed himself even more: "It's all my fault, if it weren't for me, Miss Zhang wouldn't have died."

Yang Jinghe comforted his brother and said: "Brother, don't blame yourself, my brother didn't agree to this marriage, it was the queen who wanted to impose it on you, what do you have to do with your brother, it's just that Miss Zhang died innocently."

Jiang Yichen closed his eyes and sighed and said, "What the county lord said is that Zhang Biyun is just a political victim of the Zhang family, and she can only be blamed for it, she gave birth to the wrong family."

Cheng Qingyue heard the helplessness in Jiang Yichen's words, and she understood that he must be thinking of his life experience at this moment.

Seeing the solemn atmosphere, Xiao Junyan said: "Then wouldn't there be a good show to watch now, if the emperor knew that their Zhang family forced people to death for their own interests, wouldn't they be furious?"

Jiang Yichen didn't answer his words, but asked Chang Rui: "Who else knows the news except you?"

Chang Rui replied: "The subordinates sent to Zhangfu to report, yesterday the door of Zhangfu suddenly closed, all visitors were refused, then I felt a little strange, so I personally went to the door of Zhangfu to squat, and at night there was no movement, so I quietly sneaked into Zhangfu to investigate, sure enough, I found out Miss Zhang's death", I also heard that Lord Zhang Huaiqing and the prime minister were ready to lie that Miss Zhang died of a sudden illness, trying to confuse His Majesty. ”

Jiang Yichen smiled coldly: "Since he doesn't want others to know, then we'll poke the matter out and tell the people who want to know."

Chang Rui understood, "My subordinates will do it." ”

After Chang Rui left, Yang Jinghe saw that Jiang Yichen was not happy, and asked suspiciously: "The prince returns to Beijing this time, and his ambition is to bring down the prime minister, today's incident is a great opportunity for the prince, how can Jinghe see that the prince has no joy?"

Cheng Qingyue replied for him: "Although this matter is said to be done by Brother Chen, not Brother Chen, but after all, it is at the cost of two lives, Brother Chen has always been kind-hearted, he must not bear it."

Jiang Yichen looked at Cheng Qingyue with satisfaction, and sure enough, Yue'er knew him best.

Yang Jinghe saw the tacit understanding between the two, and his heart was a little sour, but he was ashamed: "It's Jinghe who is so eager to succeed that he forgets his compassion, Jinghe is ashamed!"

Cheng Qingyue comforted her and said: "The county lord doesn't have to blame himself, Qingyue can see that the county lord is also a person with the utmost affection, just now he was just in a hurry to deal with the prime minister, and it can't be said that the county lord has no compassion."

Yang Jinghe looked at Cheng Qingyue gratefully, she didn't expect that the two had only met a few times, she was so considerate and trusted herself, and she couldn't help but have a lot of good feelings for her.

At this time, Yang Jingye, who had not spoken, asked, "Then what should we do next, Lord Wang?"

Jiang Yichen said quietly: "Watch the play."

Xiao Junyan also smiled faintly, "I like watching dramas the most." ”
