Yang Tianhong suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, his gloomy mood was instantly shattered, he looked up at his sister quite angrily, and said in a low voice: "That's not the case. I just think it's strange www.biquge.info what went wrong between my father and my grandfather? Why has the Quang Binh Houfu ignored you and my brother for so many years, and no one has come to the door on weekdays. ”

Yang Qiurong put away the teasing expression on his face and became serious: "You really don't know?"

Yang Tianhong's expression was still gloomy: "Previously, I had been trapped in the house by Yang Liansheng. Five years ago, I followed Master to Mingfeng Mountain. Now that I'm back, I don't know anything about my family. ”

Yang Qiu nodded clearly, pulled a chair from the side and sat down, looking into the distance with flickering eyes, and a hint of sarcasm appeared in the corner of his eyes: "The reason is not for the woman of the Xu family." ”

Yang Tianhong was very surprised: "Xu's?"

Yang Qiurong nodded: "I was on the mountain that day and received a letter from my father. At that time, your mother had not yet given birth to you. For marrying Xu, his father has always felt very guilty, and he repeatedly explained in his letters that the reason why he married Xu was because he was confused, and he had to do it as a last resort. ”

Yang Tianhong frowned slightly, without words, patiently waiting for his sister's words.

"Most men have little ability to resist beautiful women. Our father, though he was a great general on the battlefield, was a man after all. My father was stationed at the border gate, and the army strictly ordered him not to bring his family. By chance, the Xu family followed the Xu family caravan from the border pass. According to his father's letter, the Xu family caravan held a banquet in the city to entertain him that day, and during the banquet, the Xu family poured wine for his father. Her appearance can be regarded as quite beautiful. My mother was away from my father for many years, and I drank a lot of alcohol at the time. The father was so confused that he got into Xu's bed. When I came to my senses, although I was annoyed, I couldn't blame others. ”

"If it's just a momentary hot-headedness, that's fine. The crux of the problem is that at that time, my father fell in love with the Xu family's money. ”

Yang Tianhong was shocked again: "Money? This, how is this possible?"

Yang Qiurong showed an extremely charming smile. His eyes immediately turned to the carved beams and paintings in the Guangping Hou Mansion, and sneered repeatedly: "Why is it impossible? In the world, not every nobleman has a rich net worth. Although my Yang clan is hereditary as the lord of Guangping, there is no financial resources in the clan. Junior brother, you are now in command of the Xuanhuo Army, and you have a deep understanding of the shortcomings in the army. At that time, this was the situation of my father. The border passes are dilapidated, the border army is old and weak, and the military salaries, grain and grass allocated by the imperial court are deducted every time. My father didn't want to be with them. can only take out his own money to fill one or two. The question is, how can an army of hundreds of thousands, just one person's money, fill the geometry?"

"The Xu family is a wealthy businessman, and the Xu family is also born well. After thinking about it, his father decided to make a mistake and marry Xu as his wife, and by the way, he could borrow the money of the Xu family. Serve the country. ”

Hearing this, Yang Tianhong was silent for nearly a minute. He shook his head and let out a long sigh.

As the commander of the Xuanhuo Army, he could indeed understand his father's helplessness at that time. If you are a person, you have to eat, there are hundreds of thousands of generals in the border army, and most of the military salaries of the imperial court have disappeared under the word "drifting". The rest of the part, not to mention the reorganization of armaments. Even the officers and men, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers have a problem with food and clothing on weekdays. Fortunately, the Great Chu State still has a conscientious general like his father, otherwise, the border pass would have been broken by Rong Di a long time ago.

Sure enough, a penny is hard to beat a hero!

Yang Qiurong's expression was also a little serious, and he continued: "The marriage between my father and the Xu family. It was the Xu family who single-handedly completed it at the border gate. It was not until his father's victorious return to the dynasty that the clan and his mother were able to find out. On the mother's side, the father's kind words kept comforting, and the mother's temperament was gentle and did not make noise. It's just that my grandfather strongly denied this marriage and didn't agree with it at all. Even his father brought the Xu family to the door to serve tea, but his grandfather didn't give face at all. It was because of this incident that my father and grandfather broke up unhappily. Since then, the Yang family has separated from the Guangping Houfu. Later, my mother came to my grandfather and persuaded him hard, and things took a slight turn for the better, and the relationship eased slightly. However, my grandfather still didn't want to see my father again, and he handed out invitations during the Chinese New Year, and my mother and I were the only ones on the list. Later, Yang Liansheng's wolf-hearted thing controlled the Yang Mansion, and God knows how many things he did to hide from you, which made grandfather and grandmother gradually lose their minds to you, and they didn't ask anymore. ”

Saying that, Yang Qiurong sighed: "Little brother, don't think that the dispute between grandfather and father is a trivial matter. Grandfather has always disliked Xu, and he strictly forbids Xu to come to the door. My father even made a fuss about it to the point of disowning his grandfather. Later, Yang Liansheng blocked the internal news of the Yang Mansion, and also spoke ill of the people sent by your grandfather to visit you. Later, I learned that my grandfather thought that the outer courtyard was a mess, and since the Xu family had entered the Yang family, he should take out the money to maintain all the expenses of the outer courtyard. Grandfather turned a blind eye to this, and naturally he didn't know about the grievances you suffered in it. In short, these things are not as simple as you think. If we go back to the source, it still falls on our father. ”

After being silent for a long time, Yang Tianhong asked seriously: "Sister, what is your attitude towards the Guangping Houfu and the people of the Yang clan?"

Yang Qiurong thought for a moment and replied calmly: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. There is no need for the grievances and grievances of the previous generation to continue to involve us. In any case, the old man and the lady are our blood relatives after all. As for the rest of the clan, whether we interact or not depends on our own feelings and moods. As for the guys over there who bullied you when you were kids...... Humph......"

Saying that, Yang Qiurong was lucky, and he forcibly pulled off a green brick from the flower bed next to him, held his breath and condensed, and pinched it into powder.

......

At the time of the lantern, the Quang Binh Houfu was no longer noisy, and hundreds of clansmen who were qualified to enter the hall lined up neatly, first to worship their ancestors, and then to meet the patriarch and his wife in the order of each family and child.

Guangping Hou Yang Rong's beard is white, his spirit is strong, because he is a military general, and because of his perennial cultivation, he will naturally exude a majesty.

Mrs. Gan wore a sumptuous pale gold gown. Although he holds a cane, his hands are very strong. She laughed frequently, laughed and asked questions to everyone who came forward to bow down, and from time to time picked up the red envelopes prepared in advance from the silver plate next to her and handed them to her young children and grandchildren.

When Yang Tianhong and Yang Qiurong appeared in the hall, they immediately caused a whisper.

To a large extent. This surprise comes from Yang Qiurong's beauty. Although the fur jacket on her body is ordinary leather, it subtly sets off her elegance and exquisite figure. Between the slender snow-white neck and bright teeth, there is a constant flow of intoxicating charm.

There is nothing special about the procedure of prostration. It's just that when she got up from the ground, her grandmother Gan had already left the seat and hugged the Yang sisters and brothers tremblingly. One on each side, tightly held in your arms.

"Good grandson, good granddaughter, I miss my grandmother. ”

Yang Tianhong is more than 1.9 meters tall, and he is somewhat unaccustomed to being hugged by Gan like this. However, he loved the feeling. Because, grandmother Gan is sincere, and her words and actions are not false. You can see it. She really likes these two children from the bottom of her heart, especially Yang Tianhong, who met for the first time.

In this era, after all, men are still inferior to women. Gan gave Yang Qiurong a red envelope as usual, but took off the jade necklace around his neck and hung it directly on Yang Tianhong's neck. His hands refused to let go of his grandson's arms, and he said vigorously in his mouth: "Grandma hasn't seen you since you were born." There are some things that grandma knows though. But there's no way to help you. Well, now you've finally grown up. Grandma has nothing to give you. Take this one first. Take it away and don't give it to anyone else. ”

Yang Tianhong's body was trembling slightly, and his vision was a little blurred.

At the age of sixteen, apart from his sister, he felt the care of his relatives for the first time. Although it is only a few words, but Gan's enthusiasm and affection. But it couldn't be truer.

It is only now that Yang Tianhong somewhat understands what his sister said - the old man and the lady, after all, are our blood relatives.

The Yang family is indeed not rich. Yang Tianhong saw the red envelope in his sister's hand and estimated that it could only hold two taels of silver at most. Of course. The New Year's money for children must not be ordinary broken silver. Great clans like Guangpinghou all cast silver into silver barley with a special shape. But in terms of value, it was only the same weight of silver.

Gan's jade necklace is indeed worth a lot of money. Yang Tianhong has already seen envy and jealousy in the eyes of many clansmen. Even his grandfather Yang Rong, who was sitting at the top, was obviously a little dissatisfied with his wife's sudden behavior, and coughed several times before Gan reluctantly returned to his seat. It's just that both hands are still tightly grasping the Yang sisters and brothers, and they are not willing to let go at all.

At the family banquet, grandmother Gan still arranged for the Yang sisters and brothers to sit beside her, and that kind of intimacy and care made Yang Tianhong feel a little uncomfortable while being moved. After eating a meal, he had long forgotten how good the dishes tasted, and his mind was full of the smile of his grandmother Gan and the voices he heard for the first time in sixteen years.

"Here, eat more, your father loved this when he was a kid. ”

"You look like your father, it's like a mold. ”

"Your father is really stubborn! Fortunately, you are different from him in this regard. When I have free time, I come back to see my grandmother more often. If you want to eat something, tell your grandmother and ask someone below to make it for you. ”

In contrast, his grandfather Yang Rong was silent. Perhaps, it was to maintain the majesty of the patriarch in front of the clansmen. Or, as an elder citizen. Seeing Gan's doting on the Yang sisters and brothers, Yang Rong was a little helpless, but because of his identity and the occasion, he could only remain silent.

It wasn't until much later that Yang Tianhong understood that Grandma Gan's practice of pulling herself and her sister tightly around was actually a kind of protection.

My father had a very fierce quarrel with my grandfather back then, and the whole clan knew that Yang Rong had a disobedient rebel. Now, the son of the rebel son comes to the door for the New Year, and of course others will look at the two sisters and brothers with colored glasses. What's more, to a certain extent, Yang Jing, the hussar general back then, had already been separated from the Yang clan. Although the names of Yang Jing and the Yang siblings are still recorded on the family tree, from a practical point of view, the relationship with the clan is very weak.

For a long time, some people in the clan have coveted the family property left by Yang Jing. It is believed that those mansions belong to the Yang clan and should be uniformly distributed by the clan.

As for the outer courtyard where the children of the clan are trained, it is no longer the appearance of the ancestors of the Yang clan at the beginning. Although there are forging pills every month, the children of the Yang clan in it are getting fewer and fewer year by year. After all, this world reveres literature and despises martial arts, and only those clansmen who have no hope on the way to the scribes will enter the outer courtyard to practice martial arts. To put it mildly, the outer courtyard of the Yang clan. Equivalent to a waste camp.

In short, the factors involved are very complex and cannot be explained in one or two sentences.

The jade necklace is very valuable, and if it is calculated at the market price, it is worth at least three thousand taels of silver. The jadeite jade block embedded in the silver chain has a smooth surface, which is obviously Gan's favorite. Caused by perennial hand rubbing.

Thinking of this, Yang Tianhong thought about it, took out a small wooden box with a special seal from the Qiankun bag, and quietly handed it to his grandmother Gan.

The Condensing Jade Fruit is an extremely rare high-level spirit fruit. Even if it is taken directly without medicine, it still has the effect of greatly tonifying and prolonging life. On the way to Guangping Houfu, Yang Tianhong prepared two 300-year-old condensing jade fruits and added a special seal on the surface of the wooden box to prevent the spiritual energy from escaping. The reason for this is just a precaution. He didn't mean to take out the gifts. I want to see what kind of attitude the old man and Mrs. Tai, who have never met for the first time for the New Year, will face themselves?

Yang Tianhong's voice was very low, and only Gan could hear it: "Grandma, this is my grandson, I honor you." Don't shirk it, and don't show it in front of everyone. Although today is not your birthday, my grandson still wishes you good fortune in the East China Sea. Longevity. ”

Gan was surprised and subconsciously wanted to open the wooden box. But Yang Tianhong held his hands tightly, and he couldn't let go for a while, so he had to give up.

After the family banquet, grandfather Yang Rong called the Yang sisters and brothers to the study alone.

Yang Rong's face was deep, and his gaze at the Yang brothers and sisters was very complicated.

"I know you don't like my grandfather. back then. Your father's falling out with his clan was a good thing, but your father acted aggressively and never thought about the consequences. However, there is a saying. I'm going to say it anyway. ”

Yang Rong gently tapped on the armrest of the chair and said slowly in an unquestionable tone: "I don't like the Xu family, and I have never recognized the identity of the Xu family's daughter-in-law. No matter how much you respect your father, and whether you want to act according to his last wishes, in short, as long as I am one day, the Xu family will never be entered into the Guangping Hou family tree, and will always be an outsider. ”

After a pause, Yang Rong's eyes fell on Yang Tianhong, and his expression became gentler: "Back then, it was actually my idea to put you in the outer courtyard of the Yang family. Our Yang family has been a military general for generations, so Yang Liansheng is just a scholar. Your father has been separated from his kinship, and it is impossible for me to intervene in his affairs. Although you are young, you have the blood of the Yang family in your body. beaten, scolded, bullied...... All these things, every man has to go through. High-sounding words, I don't want to say more. I just want to tell you: only a beast that bites and fights from an early age can become a tiger and lion when he grows up. If not, it will always be just the waste of Nuo Nuo's inaction!"

A stream of heat poured out from the bottom of Yang Tianhong's heart. He struggled to control his emotions and instinctively called out, "Grandpa, I ......"

"Don't call me grandpa yet! you'd better listen to everything I'm going to say before you draw conclusions. ”

Yang Rong waved his hand, stopped Yang Tianhong, and continued: "Because of your father's matter, your grandmother has quarreled with me a lot. Seriously, I really wish you and your sister hadn't been born during that time, or just died outside. In this way, there are a lot fewer things to worry about. I know exactly what Yang Liansheng did. He wants to kill you, and then seek to claim the title of Righteous Waiter. At that time, I thought that if you died, your father's lineage would be completely cut off from your relatives. If you can survive from Yang Liansheng's hands, it also shows that you are a manufacturable material. It's just that I never expected that you would actually break the kettle and take the initiative to resign to Your Majesty, and you were favored by the Immortal Master of the Guiyuan Sect, so you were included in the door. ”

Yang Tianhong and Yang Qiurong looked at each other, their faces were full of shock, and even, there was a bit of obvious anger.

"I am not telling you this to ask for your understanding. ”

Yang Rong got up from his chair, paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, raised his head with his chest straight, looked at the night sky outside the window with a proud expression, and said lightly: "Since the establishment of the Great Chu Dynasty, the Yang family has existed. If the whole family wants to survive, power and wealth are indispensable. The key issue, however, is that there must be a strong enough figure to preside over it. I originally thought that your father would be that person, but the Xu family proved that I was wrong. Using the method of raising Gu to cultivate future patriarchs is also a last resort. Now, you are still alive, and you have been awarded the title of General Xuanwu by your own strength. For now, it's barely qualified. Still, it's a little worse. ”

Yang Rong's figure is very tall, like a giant mountain with its back to the Yang family's sisters and brothers: "All countries in the world have always used literature to control martial arts. Pure martial artists can't get more in the court. In any case, you must have the status of a literati before you can fight for anything else. My Yang family is a scholar clan, and only those who have been recognized by me are eligible to enter the country's prison. After the New Year, you will go to Guozijian to attend classes. Remember, whether you are a military officer or a monk, you must be in the proctoring school. ”

Coming out of his grandfather's study, Yang Tianhong and Yang Qiurong were silent, but their hearts were full of turbulent waves.

The indifference on the surface hides such a deep scheming. However, this also shows that the grandfather does not treat himself indifferently, but must consider the problem from the family level and be absolutely fair to each family member. (To be continued.) )
