Chapter 0062 - A Man Is Strong
Returning home with joy on his face, Yang Yi rarely saw his father Yang Chengyan and his eldest brother Yang Quji.
The eldest brother Yang Qu is better, since the autumn harvest, all the forbidden officials, including Yang Yi and Yang Qu Ji, have basically been idle; Yang Yi has not had a small chance to see his eldest brother.
But Daddy Yang Chengyan, if Yang Yi remembers correctly, he hasn't been home for more than ten days!
It is rare for the pillars to return home, and the Yangfu is naturally busy, rushing to prepare for the evening meal?
"So early?"
Watching the servants walking back and forth in the mansion, from time to time moving seasonal fruits and vegetables, sauces and wines, and even a lot of meat to the east kitchen, Yang Yi couldn't help but feel surprised.
ββIn this era, there is no such thing as lunch~
Ordinary people's families basically go out every day when the sun is just dawn and the sun is not very hot, and they go to the fields to work for a while; Wait for the third day to go home, eat a hot meal, and then take a nap.
When I woke up, I was busy with manual work at home, such as repairing furniture and farm tools, tidying up the inside and outside of the house, etc., and survived noon by the way.
After the sun was shining at noon, I hurried to the fields and worked for a while, until I got home before dark, and had dinner around dusk, and then it was time to go to bed.
In Yang Yi's family, the situation is naturally much better - after all, Yang Chengyan is the Jiuqing of the dynasty, and the relatives of the Yang family within the three suits naturally have no reason to dig in the soil.
Within the three suits of the Yang family, all those whose hands and feet are still sharp, regardless of men, women and children, have been extended to Chang'an by Yangcheng.
The men help in the house, doing manual work, thinking that they are 'retainers', and the women are also busy with cleaning, eating, and so on, and they are not in vain.
Lin Lin finally came down, and the Yang family obviously only had one husband, one wife, and two sons, but it was only a family of four; Counting these distant relatives, family servants and maidservants, plus the slaves and servants they bought, they also have thirty or forty mouths.
"Whew~"
After secretly calculating the accounts, Yang Yi silently made up his mind.
"When you move out, you must not learn from Dad!"
- It's not that Yang Yi is stingy, Yang Fu can eat six or seven hundred stones of grain in a year just with these dozens of mouths now!
If you add some cloth and meat during the New Year's holidays, wrap a red envelope, and give a reward, a thousand stone of grain a year is just like play!
Yangfu is good to say, the head of the family, Yangchengyan, ranks in Jiuqing, with 2,000 stones in Zhilu and 180 stones in Yuelu;
After calculation, Yangchengyan can have 2,160 stone corn every year, which is barely a problem to feed this family.
But if you change to Yang Yi, you won't be able to bear it.
- Yang Yi's current official position, if you say it's good, it's called a waiter, but if you're welcome, it's just a waiter!
It is said that it is more than 400 stones, and what can really be obtained in your hands is 360 stones a year!
If you put aside all other expenses, just eating, Yang Yi's monthly income of thirty stones can afford fifteen mouths at most!
"When you go, it's good to take a big yang with you."
"Counting the master himself, the Manchurian Communist Party only has two mouths, how can they all be fed......"
Just as Yang Yi was secretly thinking about the 'way of home' in the future, not far away, Yang Quji's slightly frightened face appeared.
"Ah...... Brother Yi. β
"Adults have a call......
β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»
"Sit down."
Follow the eldest brother Yang to the study, bow his hand to the rules, Yang Yi raised his head slightly, and saw his father Yang Chengyan sitting on the couch full of exhaustion.
More than ten days of continuous work made Yang Chengyan's eyes form two thick eye bands; His eyes were bloodshot, and even his cheeks were a little sunken.
"Adult ......"
"It doesn't matter."
Yang Yi's slightly worried light call did not attract Yang Chengyan's approval, only to see Yang Chengyan straighten up and look at Yang Yi tiredly.
"The affairs of other households, but they have all been done?"
Seeing that Yang Chengyan was slightly tired and put his hand on the corner of his forehead, Yang Yi was a little worried, but he could only bow obediently.
"Yui."
"The matter of recording the book, the son has entrusted the Marquis of Shi An, and the prince of the royal tomb will do it on his behalf; The son's new house will also be built. β
"After the first ceremony of the year, the son will follow the adult's ancestral shrine to tell the ancestors, and then you can divide the door and think that the branch is ......"
Hearing Yang Yi mention 'I will be a side branch in the future' so bluntly, Yang Qujian suddenly showed a slightly embarrassed look.
However, Yang Chengyan didn't seem to have much feeling about separating the family, so he only nodded silently.
"If you want to leave the household, you will be the first to divide the family."
"As a father's official, it is only 2,000 stones, although there is no shortage of food and clothing in the family, and there is no way to say that it is rich."
"Erlang said bluntly, what do you need the old man to divide in order to not hurt the feelings of the concubines and the friendship of the main branch?"
Hearing this, Yang Yi felt no emotion in his heart, and he couldn't help but pretend to be sincerely frightened, and knelt down in front of Yang Chengyan.
If you change someone else, or even change to a side branch of a random famous family, and get the hint of your father's 'say what you want', you will inevitably seize this opportunity to seek a richer material life for yourself in the future.
But it is obvious: Yang Yi is not an ordinary meritorious marquis and a noble son.
- Didn't you listen to Yang Chengyan?
'Dad is just Jiuqing, and the family doesn't have much money', but they all came out of Yang Chengyan's mouth!
The hints are all 'dark' to this extent, what else can Yang Yi say?
"Adults are serious, but they don't dare!"
As if he kowtowed in fear, Yang Yi straightened up and said with sincerity on his face: "Adult Yu'er, you have the grace of nurturing; Only in this way, the son will never be able to repay his eleventh! β
"Today is strong, and he should be filial piety on the knees of adults, in order to repay the grace of adulthood; Even if you don't want to, you have to leave home in pain, so as to make peace with the whole lineage! β
"The child is now divided into separate households, but if you ask the adult to have no complaints about the unfilial piety of the child, how dare you ask for another one?"
"In the future, I hope that the adults will take care, and the children should also worship the adults in front of them in a few days, and ...... filial piety of the whole child."
Showing his hypocritical 'filial piety' that didn't exist at all, Yang Yi didn't forget to squeeze out two tears at the right time, and kowtowed in front of Yang Chengyan.
"Alas......"
"My son is strong, and I should be self-reliant......"
Secretly let out a sigh, Yang Chengyan's face was a little tired, and a trace of warmth slowly surged between his eyebrows.
"I heard that Er's mother gave 20,000 yuan, and the old man was not stingy with his parents."
Saying this in a gentle tone, Yang Chengyan stepped forward slightly, helped Yang Yi up from the ground, and motioned for Yang Yi to sit down in front of the 'bookcase'.
After Yang Yi wiped his tears and sat down beside his father, Yang Chengyan raised his head and pouted outside the study.
"Da Lang went to the backyard in person, paid 30,000 yuan, packed it and sent it to Erlang's room."
As he spoke, Yang Chengyan didn't forget to look out of the house with deep meaning, and motioned for Yang to 'slow down'.
When the eldest son Yang Qu took his life and left, Yang Yi also happened to 'finish crying', and Yang Chengyan finally sat down in front of the bookcase with a solemn face.
"Recently, what has Erlang been busy with?"
