Section 83 Chinese New Year

Although Haotianmen is located in the world, it is only an ordinary cultivation sect after all, not a country. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Up and down the sect, including the lowest level of Qi refining cultivators, Haotian Sect only has thousands of disciples. Even in a large country like the state of Chu, at most only a few monks could be sent.

Huang Zhiping is the highest cultivator in the capital of Chu State. In addition to Shen Changyou, there are two other foundation building monks who can be driven and mobilized by his subordinates. The rest of the disciples are only in the Qi refining stage in terms of strength cultivation.

Xu Biao originally thought that he could get news and information about Shen Changyou's death from Huang Zhiping. But he was very disappointed that Huang Zhiping was unaware of Shen Changyou's death, and even thought that Shen Changyou was just missing, not dead.

After all, he didn't have Shen Changyou's natal jade disk. If Xu Biao hadn't brought the news from the mountain, Huang Zhiping would still have thought that Shen Changyou was still alive.

As a royal worshipper, Huang Zhiping's mansion is very luxurious. Sitting down until now, for more than an hour before and after, there are more than a dozen kinds of precious tea and fruits, and the beautiful maids are shuttling back and forth, Xu Biao silently counted, there are more than 20 people in total.

The robe on the body is sewn with white jade silk, the top red agate is made of buttons, the jade belt on the waist is full of crystal clear jade, and the hair crown is purple gold and fine sterling silver, which is made of exquisite goods by skilled craftsmen. It is no exaggeration to describe it as a work of art.

In addition to greeting Xu Biao to enjoy the refreshments, for Shen Changyou, Huang Zhiping only had three words before and after.

"Oh, he's dead?"

"When did this happen?"

"The last time he told me he was going on a trip, and he didn't know why it happened. However, there is always a reason for the jade disc to break, and perhaps the person in charge of the mountain guard accidentally broke it. Anyway, let's wait and see!"

Even when these words were spoken, beautiful maids came over from time to time. flirted with Huang Zhiping. may think that Xu Biao is a junior, and his strength is only to build a complete foundation, Huang Zhiping didn't care, and he didn't hide it, he directly hugged the soft and thin waist of the maid, and kissed back and forth on the pink face. Especially those hands. Directly into the maid's skirt, when she retracted it, her fingertips were wet, and I don't know where it came from.

Xu Biao kept his face gloomy.

If it was in the mountains, if they changed each other's identities, he promised that he would definitely not beat Huang Zhiping to death.

Yes, don't beat him to death.

In other words, it is possible to be crippled, crippled, broken, flattened, and beaten into idiots.

Huang Zhiping is not Xu Biao's master. There is no need to salute him. What's more, the disciples of the Fire Hall have a transcendent status in Haotianmen, and to a certain extent, Huang Zhiping has to show a little respect for Xu Biao.

Xu Biao knew that Huang Zhiping couldn't wait for him to leave quickly. He showed it very obviously, and frequently raised the tea bowl, almost without opening his mouth to give the order to evict customers.

Xu Biao can conclude that Huang Zhiping has been abolished. Although this person is currently cultivating as a Jindan Grandmaster, he is obsessed with worldly fame and material comforts. Even if you return to the sect. There is no longer the consciousness and motivation to cultivate and improve. Perhaps, one's cultivation will decline significantly.

Faced with a pig waiting to die. Nothing to say.

However, Huang Zhiping is somewhat useful.

He provided valuable information.

Five years ago, Shen Changyou once entered the Yang Mansion. Then, he became the teacher of the two sons of the Yang Mansion. Of course, the son of Yang Mansion here is not referring to the current Xuanwu general Yang Tianhong. It is the two concubines of the former hussar general, Yang Wenyao and Yang Wenjia.

......

Chinese New Year's Eve, the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

The stables in the outer courtyard of the Yang Mansion were empty for many years. If it weren't for the alliance with the Meng family, Meng Qi sent three horses, maybe. The perennially dilapidated stables will remain vacant.

Yang Tianhong likes this chestnut horse with shiny fur under his crotch. The Meng family has a special horse trainer and horse breeder, this is a horse transported from the north, although the bloodline is not very pure, but it is extremely tall and has a strong weight-bearing capacity. Even in the north, prices are very high.

Since you are a military general, it is necessary to match a horse. It's just that with Yang Tong, Yang Yuan, as well as Yang Dashan and Yang Dahai, a few people walking on the street, Yang Tianhong always feels very embarrassed, and there is an indescribable awkwardness.

When the children of wealthy officials and eunuchs go out, they always hug each other, and there are dozens or even hundreds of followers. In a way, this has even evolved into a criterion for judging whether someone is a gentleman or not. Of course, Yang Tianhong is not one of them. But he still felt that walking his horse on the spacious streets of the capital was completely inconsistent with his identity as a general Xuanwu.

But what if it doesn't?

Today is, after all, the last day of the year, Chinese New Year's Eve.

Looking at the lights everywhere on the street, full of joy, people coming and going, Yang Dashan and Yang Dahai were also infected, constantly smiling, chattering about Yang Tianhong.

"Young master, look at that lantern, how delicately painted the portraits are, just like a real person. ”

"Hey, look, the cotton over there is a nice texture, it's cheap, no wonder so many people are buying it. ”

"The bazaar in front is more lively. At this time of the year, the front three-way intersection was full of people, and it was crowded. Young Master, do you remember Chen Datou, the fat butcher who lives on the edge of the Sanyan Bridge in our Pingkang Fang? He watched the excitement at the fork in the road last year on Chinese New Year's Eve, because there were many people, and a large piece of fat on his body was squeezed out, and he was very thin. When he returned home, even his wife didn't recognize him. almost as a thief who climbed over the wall and entered the hospital, a few brooms hit it hard. ”

Hearing this, Yang Tianhong couldn't hold back anymore, and laughed out loud.

Yang Dahai's face was full of smiles. The reason why I say this kind of joke is to make my young master happy. Otherwise, he would have been sullen and his face tightened.

Yang Dashan patiently persuaded: "Young master, it's always worth being happy for the New Year." Don't think about the things that bother you. Even the poor families who lack food and clothing have to have some fun for themselves, not to mention that you are still a famous Xuanwu general in the dynasty, leading the Xuanhuo Army alone. This is the glory and wealth that many people want to get when they break their heads. Originally, there were some things that I shouldn't have said, but after all, you and the old man's family are relatives. As the saying goes: broken bones are still connected to tendons. The master, that is, your father, left the Guangping Houfu in a fit of anger. No more contact with the old man's side. Those of us who are subordinates also feel that it is not good in our hearts. The grievances of the predecessors, let's ignore it for the time being. Now, since you have received an invitation from the Guangping Houfu, it is reasonable to be reasonable, young master, you should go over and take a look. Even if you don't like Mrs. Tai, you should at least kowtow to Mrs. Tai. Say hello. ”

The Yang family can be regarded as a wealthy family in the Chu State.

The title on the Yang family's ancestor is Guangping Hou. This is a hereditary permanent title. According to the clan rules, only the patriarch could inherit the Marquis of Quang Binh.

Yang Tianhong's father, Yang Jing, is a brave waiter. However, the title of marquis on his body was killed by himself on the battlefield, not to enjoy the blessings of his ancestors. Yang Tianhong heard from the old people in the house that when he was not yet born, there was a conflict between his father and Guang Pinghou, that is, his grandfather. The two had a fight. Then, my father left the Quang Binh Houfu and bought a house to live in alone.

Yang Tianhong has never seen his father. However, he believed that his father must be a great figure between heaven and earth. The story of the hussar general's victory and killing the enemy has been circulated in many places in the Chu State. Everyone praised his father's prestige, and naturally, Yang Tianhong also felt that there was a dispute between his father and his grandfather. The wrong party must be Grandpa Guangping.

Let alone. Even if it's my father's fault, so many years have passed, and I have never seen my grandfather and grandmother since I was a child.

At that time, the Yang Mansion was completely controlled by his uncle Yang Liansheng. If the ancestors of the Yang family still have their own grandson in their hearts, they should be more or less sheltered. And not like what happened to me. was beaten to death by the ruthless and greedy Yang Liansheng.

If it weren't for his sister Yang Qiurong's repeated persuasion, Yang Tianhong would not be willing to accept the invitation at all and go to Guangping Houfu for a family banquet.

Yang Dashan saw Yang Tianhong's thoughts, shook his head with a smile, and said seriously: "Young master." The matter between the general and the old man back then, those of us who were subordinates had heard some of it. Right or wrong, let's leave it aside. In fact, over the years, the old man has never forgotten you, the young master. It's just that I hate Yang Liansheng and the Xu family, and every time they keep out the people sent by the old man to visit. Later, young master, you were favored by the immortal master and brought to Mingfeng Mountain. Now that I'm back, it's the first time I've received an invitation to return to my ancestral home for the New Year. ”

Yang Dashan speaks very skillfully. To a large extent, it somewhat calmed the anger in Yang Tianhong's heart. He strangled the reins hard, rode on the horse, pondered and pondered for a moment, bowed his head sideways, looked at Yang Dashan with an inquiring gaze, not quite sure, and asked hesitantly: "Grandpa Shan, do you think I am like this...... Is it appropriate to come to the door empty-handed?"

In Yang Tianhong's mind, the group of veterans led by Yang Dashan and Yang Dahai are his closest people. If someone else came to persuade him, Yang Tianhong would only sneer and shake his head. But when the same words came out of Yang Dashan's mouth, the weight and meaning were completely different. Yang Dashan will never deceive himself, let alone be bought by money, fame and fortune, and deliberately teach himself to do something he is unwilling to do.

Yang Tianhong is not without brains. Calm down and think about it, in the past few years, the affairs of the family were controlled by Yang Liansheng, Guangping Hou and his father have torn their faces, and they are grandchildren separated by a layer after all. Even if grandpa and grandma wanted to intervene, there was no suitable excuse. What's more, at that time, Yang Liansheng was also canonized as Houshan Bo by His Majesty, and the inner mansion was also covered by the Xu family...... In short, many problems have led to the interruption of contact between himself and the Guangping Houzu clan, and they are also like passers-by.

But in any case, they have not forgotten their identity as the Yang family after all.

Since you are going to come to the door, you must give gifts.

Yang Dashan smiled with satisfaction and waved his hand: "Young master, I am from here, so I will rely on the old man to say a few words." In fact, the old man and the lady are both old, as long as the young master can go over, say goodbye to them, and kowtow a few times, they will be satisfied. Elders are actually nothing more than this for juniors. Status, fame, and fortune are empty. You guys...... After all, it's a family. ”

......

Guangping Houfu inside and outside the lanterns, just walked to the street, you can see the red lanterns hanging under the porch from a distance, and there are more than a dozen children in the open space outside the door "crackling" and setting off the cannons, you fight for me, laughing and laughing and having fun.

This lively atmosphere quickly infected Yang Tianhong.

When I was on Mingfeng Mountain, there was never a concept of the New Year. In the monk's view, the festival is nothing more than a secular way of calculating time. Since you have chosen the path of cultivation. It is also necessary to completely let go of vulgar thoughts and concentrate on the Tao.

As for when he was younger...... concept of the word "Chinese New Year" in the depths of Yang Tianhong's memory was often a few pieces of sweet rice cakes secretly brought to him by veterans, or he listened to the sound of firecrackers outside the tall and heavy wall with great envy.

Therefore, Yang Liansheng's whole family, it is not a pity to die!

"Whoosh--"

Just when Yang Tianhong fell into deep thought. A crooked second kick flew from the side and exploded directly above the horse's eye. The chestnut horse under his crotch was suddenly startled, and pulled his neck and let out a continuous roar. Yang Tianhong hurriedly grabbed the reins, turned over and dismounted, and kept stroking the horse's fur, finally making it gradually quiet.

"How many times have you little guys said that you should go to a spacious place and set off artillery battles, or you will injure the guests. The old ancestor is going to be furious and ask the teacher for sin!"

A young man who looked to be only in his twenties walked out of the gate of the Quang Binh Houfu quickly, intimidated the children who were playing and quickly ran away, and then walked up to Yang Tianhong, and arched his hand apologetically.

He was tall and handsome. Long black hair tied with a gilded crown and draped over his shoulders. The clothes on the body are exquisitely made. Although the style is simple, it is also luxurious. When I saw him. It always feels as if the sun is shining in front of you.

The man obviously knew the two old servants who were following Yang Tianhong. After contemplating for a moment, he suddenly laughed, and his attitude changed from the previous humility to lively and cheerful.

"You must be Cousin Tianhong. ”

The man stretched out his left hand, patted Yang Tianhong on the shoulder, and pulled him affectionately towards the gate. kept saying, "My name is Yang Jie." After all, it should be your cousin. It's just a coincidence, Mrs. Tai was still nagging before, saying that she didn't know if you would come to the door for the New Year this year, but now it's okay. I'll bump into you as soon as I come out. Let's go, I'll take you to see the old man and the lady!"

For this kind of self-acquaintance, Yang Tianhong couldn't refuse, so he had to have a very embarrassed expression, and he didn't know what to say, so he dragged into the Guangping Waiting Mansion.

As soon as I walked through the front yard, before entering the hall, I saw my sister Yang Qiurong from a distance.

Seeing Yang Tianhong, Yang Qiurong was a little surprised: "Little brother, why are you here too." ”

Yang Qiurong remembers it clearly: Half a month ago, he asked his younger brother if he wanted to go back to Guangping Houfu together for the New Year? At that time, Yang Tianhong's attitude was very resolute and he refused repeatedly.

Yang Tianhong was very embarrassed, standing there rubbing his hands, like a child who had done something wrong, and after a long time of shimping, he hummed and said reluctantly: "...... That one...... Well...... Yes, it was Grandpa Shan and Grandpa Hai who dragged me over. Me, I, I...... Actually......"

"Okay, okay!

Yang Qiurong is much older than Yang Tianhong in terms of human sophistication, so he can naturally see his younger brother's careful thinking at a glance. She smiled and grabbed Yang Tianhong's hand, and pointed to Yang Jie, who was also standing next to her with a smile: "Count your luck, Cousin Jie is straightforward and has a warm personality in our generation." Let him take you around, and by the way, go to meet the old man and the lady. ”

Yang Tianhong looked around and shook his head: "I won't go, it's better to stay here." ”

Yang Jie obviously knows how to deal with this situation. He didn't feel displeased at all, "haha" smiled, and said, "Okay, you sisters and brothers can take care of yourself, I still have to go to the second aunt's side for some things." Just remember, don't forget the time of the family feast later. ”

When Yang Jie gradually walked away, Yang Qiurong looked at Yang Tianhong with a cold expression, and asked with a smile: "What, don't you like this kind of lively occasion?"

Yang Tianhong shook his head, his eyes swirled back and forth on several young people of the Yang family in the distance, and said lightly: "Those people have robbed my things before. Moreover, it beat me badly. ”

Not every Yang family member is as hospitable as Yang Jie. Previously, Yang Liansheng was in charge of the outer courtyard of the Yang family. The younger juniors in the clan who had not yet entered the qi refining stage were all trained in the outer courtyard. At that time, Yang Tianhong was bullied by Yang Xiong and other clansmen every day. Things like pills being robbed, beaten, ridiculed and ridiculed have to be experienced every day.

Hearing this, the smile on Yang Qiurong's pretty face suddenly disappeared, and her eyes became fierce and sharp, and she was like a raging lioness who protected her cubs.

"Little brother, you wait, I'll go over and clean up these little bunnies!"

Although Yang Qiurong is beautiful, she belongs to the kind of hot-tempered woman in her bones. She gathered her fur, rolled up her sleeves, gritted her teeth, and pulled her feet to walk towards the opposite side. But he didn't want to, he was pulled by Yang Tianhong, who was quick-eyed.

"Forget it! ”

When the identity and cultivation reach a certain height, when you look at the past, your revenge will be much lighter. Yang Tianhong stared coldly at the children of the clan not far away, and said calmly, "There's no need to worry about them anymore. For the Chinese New Year, we came here just out of affection. What's more, I now have an official position in the imperial court, and sister, you are also a monk of the Qingling Sect. Dealing with those people is a bit self-deprecating. ”

Yang Qiurong smoothed the long hair around his ears, and his iceberg-like cold face immediately melted, and some of his eyes lit up: "Not bad, really good." It seems that my little brother has really grown up and no longer needs my sister to take care of him. Still, it seems like you have a lot on your mind. How's it going?,Did you fancy the girl of which family?Moved the spring heart?hahahaha!" (To be continued.) )
