Chapter 45 Prosperous Yunjing
After Ouyang Ling saw Emperor Ouyang Jin, she left the palace and went to Yang's mansion.
Originally, Ouyang Jin wanted to meet Yang Yan, but Yang Yan's attitude of accepting the order made Ouyang Jin consider the matter anew, and in the end he could only issue an order, exempting Yang Yan from courtesy, and then shelving the matter of receiving him.
On the second day of coming to the Yang Mansion, the small courtyard of the Yang family was very lively, not only with the Blood Shadow Guard, but also with other guests.
Yang Luochen's mother, Mu Lingxiang, has an extra woman by her side, who looks very similar to Mu Lingfen, but her temperament is much better than Mu Lingxiang. Later, I learned that this was Yang Luochen's aunt, Ouyang Ling's mother, and the imperial concubine of the dynasty, Mu Lingfen.
When Mu Lingfen saw Yang Yan, she pulled Yang Yan to look at it for a long time, her tears couldn't stop flowing, and her haggard face was a little more joyful, and she was sad for a long time.
After that, the two sisters chatted with Yang Yan for a long time in the small courtyard and told a lot about Yang Luochen when he was a child.
Poria wandered around in the small courtyard, sometimes taking the little maid shopping, sometimes staying in the room to sleep.
Those people from the Blood Shadow Guard all went to the palace, this time, they decided to resign from those official positions, as for why, Yan Xintong had already discussed it with him, and they agreed.
After the incident of Yizhuang, all the people of the Blood Shadow Guard yearn for the strength of the strange old man, which is beyond the power of the martial artist and become a higher existence, as for those official positions in the world, they have already looked down on them, and they are thinking about going to the Eighty Mountains in three months to have a look.
After Ouyang Ling arrived at Yang's Mansion, she joined the chat team and chatted until the afternoon, before returning with her angry mother, Mu Lingfen.
When Mu Lingfen was leaving, she had already told Yang Luochen's mother, Mu Lingxiang, that two days ago, Shangshu Mansion would take Yang Luochen to meet his grandfather.
After chatting for a day, Yang Yan really didn't remember anything in his heart, and Yang Yan was a little repulsed by Yang Luochen's identity, "Maybe it has something to do with his amnesia", Yang Yan used this sentence to comfort himself every time.
After that, all the people of the Blood Shadow Guard also returned to the small courtyard of the Yang Mansion, and during the day, everyone went to the palace to see Emperor Ouyang Jin, and all of them resigned from their positions in the imperial court, and now they have really become people in the rivers and lakes.
Long Yu also wanted to resign from the position of General Qilin, but Ouyang Jin did not allow it, but scolded him bitterly, and reported that Long Yu had embezzled military salaries without permission and had already fallen into Ouyang Jin's hands.
Ouyang Jin didn't punish him, also because Long Yu used the military salary to treat the people of Fancheng, but misappropriation is misappropriation, this is a problem of Yunguo's law, and it can only make Long Yu guilty and make meritorious contributions.
Long Yu could only smile bitterly, and could only obediently continue to do the position of General Qilin, looking at the relaxed appearance of the people of the Blood Shadow Guard, Long Yu was envious, and could only sigh on the side.
Huo Linglang took Long Yu's hand and asked gently, "What's wrong?"
Long Yu glanced around, and said with a bitter face: "Alas, you are unofficial and light, and I still have to go to the north to take care of the Qilin Army."
"Haha, Brother Long, now that you have the highest official position among us, what are you sighing about, General Long" Miao Ze said jokingly.
"Shut up" Huo Linglang yelled, so frightened that Miao Ze hurriedly retreated to the corner.
"Your Majesty asked you to treat the crime and make meritorious contributions, you just do it, whatever difficulties you face in the future, tell us, anyway, we have nothing to do now" Yan Xintong said comfortingly.
Long Yu nodded, Long Lan on the side really didn't speak, as if she was thinking about something, but Li Haoyang said puzzledly: "If you don't do a good official, I really don't know what you think." Are you going to be disbanded in the future?"
When everyone heard Li Haoyang ask, they also looked at Yang Yan together, and Yan Xintong hurriedly said: "Who said that we are disbanded, we just don't do things in the imperial court anymore, and the Blood Shadow Guard is still there."
"Yes, our Blood Shadow Guard is still there"
"We will always chase after the young master"
"I'm not going anywhere"
β......β
Looking at the twelve members of the Blood Shadow Guard in front of her, Yan Xintong felt relieved from the bottom of her heart, and the center of this team was all on Yang Luochen.
The small courtyard became quiet for a while, but Long Lan, who was thinking about the problem, suddenly said, "Do you remember what my master said to each of you?"
As soon as Long Lan said this, everyone remembered that the strange old man had an evaluation of everyone present in Yizhuang and that kind of powerful power, and they remembered the Eighty Lenten Mountain.
Everyone fell into deep thought again, and Li Haoyang asked, "Your master, who is it?" I'll listen to it, maybe I know?"
Long Lan glanced at him, Li Haoyang muttered a small mouth, and whispered: "Stingy ghost, what a master, I don't have it yet"
"I know everyone's thoughts, let's go back in three months, during this time, we should give ourselves a rest and adjustment, everyone should not leave Yunjing, and don't cause trouble, especially you, Miao Fat" Yan Xintong said.
Miao Ze's face was full of grievances, but he didn't refute it. Long Lan has been in a state of mind all day since she returned to Yunjing, and she has spoken a lot less.
But it didn't attract the attention of other people, but Huo Linglang found some clues and asked Long Lan, but Long Lan prevaricated.
At night, the whole Yunjing was brightly lit, and Poria wanted to go to see Yunjing at night, so she took Yan Xintong, Huo Linglang, Yang Yan and Li Haoyang to go shopping, and Yang Luochen's mother Mu Lingxiang also had to follow.
As for Long Lan, she said that she was not feeling well and went back to rest. The others were not interested in shopping at all, and there was a table of wine in the small courtyard, where they drank and chatted, and the old man Yang Tian also joined the wine table.
Walking on the wide streets of Yunjing, there are dazzling goods on both sides, and I don't know how many times more prosperous than the night market in Kangtong. There are people coming and going on the streets, and there are still soldiers walking by to patrol.
Poria and the other women have been surrounding Mu Lingxiang, listening to Mu Lingxiang introduce things along the road, these are all introduced to Poria Cocos, Yan Xintong and Huo Linglang also chatted, talking and laughing.
Yang Yan and Li Haoyang walked behind several women, and Yang Yan listened to Mu Lingxiang's introduction, chatting with Li Haoyang without saying a word.
"Can I call you Brother Yang?" asked Li Haoyang.
"Yes, why are you looking for me?"
"Well, I heard my sister and others say that you are the first person of the young generation in Yunguo, so come and see"
"Hmm"
"But I'm a little disappointed, you're at most a martial artist now, it's completely different from what I thought."
"Then you won't go back"
"Well, maybe you'll regain your memory and let me see a different side. Besides, Princess Ling is so fond of you, you must not be as simple as it seems. Princess Ling is someone my sister admires."
"Who are you talking about, your sister?" Yan Xintong suddenly turned her head and asked.
Li Haoyang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "My sister is my sister, she is ......"
"But what?" Yan Xintong asked.
"But my sister, what's wrong" Li Haoyang didn't know how to answer, so he could only say it head-on.
The conversation between the two attracted Mu Lingxiang's attention, turned to look at Li Haoyang and asked, "This little boy is a child of a big family at first glance, I don't know what family it is, can you tell Auntie?"
Li Haoyang scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "This, this, keep it secret for the time being, you will know it in the future."
Mu Lingxiang didn't continue to ask, and then walked with them thinking about the center of the city, Li Haoyang behind him exhaled a long breath, facing Mu Lingxiang's question just now, Li Haoyang almost couldn't hold back, and he was really shocked.
Yang Yan didn't care either, and followed, and Li Haoyang also followed. It was already night, and the pedestrians on the street were almost the same as during the day, and the shouts and shouts were endless.
Looking at the prosperity of the entire Yunjing, Li Haoyang couldn't help but admire: "It is said that Yunjing is prosperous in Yunguo, but it is really unusual to see it today, this kind of scene is really rare to see in other cities."
Yang Yan didn't answer, and after a while, they had already come to the most prosperous place in Yunjing, which was a large central square, which was crowded with people, watching the performance around the stage set up in the center.
The sound of the crowd was endless, and the applause came and went, and it was lively.
"This is the center of Yunjing, different plays will be staged here every day, in the past, Luo Chen's father always took me to watch the play when he returned to Yunjing" Mu Lingxiang took Poria's hand and said gently.
"Aunt Xiang, what's up there?" asked Poria puzzled.
"This play is about the love story of two people. There are two people who have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they have slowly reached the age of talking about marriage. But there was a war on the frontier, and the man had just finished getting married, and he rushed to the battlefield the next day."
The woman waited at home for her husband's return, but she waited for three years, and finally came back with the news of her husband's death. The girl was heartbroken and finally died of depression."
After Mu Lingxiang finished speaking, Poria frowned and said, "Well, I'm not happy to hear this story at all."
"Let's go, Aunt Xiang will take you to see the others" Mu Lingxiang pulled Poria to the side.
Yang Yan also followed, and Li Haoyang said as he walked: "This kind of story is really clichΓ©, but it is a fact, I really hope that there will be no war, and people will live in peace and stability, isn't it?"
"It's better if you think like this, remember what you said tonight," Yan Xintong said noly.
Li Haoyang was confused when he heard this, but he didn't care too much. A group of people came to the northeast corner of the square, where all kinds of food were sold, Poria was not interested in these, but Li Haoyang drooled when he saw it.
Mu Lingxiang just smiled and bought a lot of food for Li Haoyang, as if she was bringing her own children out.
After that, they walked around again, selling everything, Poria cocos were all big bags in their hands, Mu Lingxiang specially bought a piece of jade pendant for Yang Yan, the color was moist, and it was said to replace the lost piece of fire spirit jade. Yang Yan didn't postpone it and wore it on his waist.
Everyone walked around for a long time, but they still didn't finish the entire night market in Yunjing, so they could only find a teahouse to rest.
Mu Lingxiang smiled and said: "I haven't been here for a long time, this is the most famous teahouse in Yunjing, the tea in it is all high-quality, and the most inferior kind is a few taels of silver to drink a bowl."
Everyone smells the fragrance of tea, fresh and mellow, giving people a refreshing feeling, it must not be ordinary. Li Haoyang took a sip and couldn't help but taste it, as for Poria and Yang Yan, except for feeling sweet, I couldn't drink anything special.
"Chen'er, Poria cocos, how about this tea?" Mu Lingxiang asked.
Yang Yan nodded, but Poria cocos said: "This tea is really mellow, it's just a little late when it was picked, but it's also delicious."
"I didn't expect Miss Poria to know about tea," Yan Xintong said with a smile.
"Tea is also a type of herb, I've known these things since I was a child."
Everyone chatted, the whole teahouse was full of people, and there were a few singers in the middle of the teahouse performing there, so it was not lively.
At this time, a handsome rich boy came to the table where they were sitting thinking about Yang Yan and attracted their attention, Mu Lingxiang glanced up, she didn't care much, but Yan Xintong looked a little guarded.
"Hello aunt!Brother Yang, I haven't seen you for many years, but do you remember it?" the person greeted Mu Lingxiang first, and then looked at Yang Yan and asked.
This person is about twenty-five, a little similar to Ye Mingchang, dressed in a gorgeous green and purple robe, with a large jade pendant hanging from his waist, and a bit of heroism between his eyebrows, with a sharp aura coming from him.
"It turned out to be the eldest son of the Ye family, please sit down, it's hard to meet you, my aunt invites you to tea" Mu Lingxiang said politely, Yan Xintong and the others also stood up and gave him a place.
This person was not polite, sat down, stared at Yang Yan, Mu Lingxiang didn't care much, and poured a cup of fragrant tea for this person.
"I don't know if Ye Shi's nephew came out to play or specifically to drink tea?" Mu Lingxiang asked.
"Auntie, I'm here to find Brother Yang. I heard that Brother Yang was back, and I didn't come to visit in person, so I was a little reluctant to go, so I deliberately waited for Brother Yang again" This person said this in the innermost, but his eyes didn't look at Mu Lingxiang, and his eyes were all on Yang Yan's body.
Yang Yan really couldn't remember, or didn't know this person at all, just glanced at him, and then drank tea to himself, as if this person had never appeared.
"Ye Shinephew, Chen'er just came back, and her body is still a little uncomfortable, so she hasn't walked around Yunjing, if you have something to tell Chen'er, it's better to make an appointment another day" Mu Lingxiang said softly, but there was a glimmer of light in her eyes.
This person glanced at Mu Lingxiang at this time, then nodded, got up and slowly walked to Yang Yan's side, patted Yang Yan's shoulder, and said, "Brother Yang, I'll visit you another day", after speaking, he didn't drink the tea and left the teahouse.
Seeing that this person was gone, Yan Xintong sat down, looked at Mu Lingxiang puzzled, and asked, "Aunt Xiang, what is he doing here to find the young master?"
Mu Lingxiang shook her head, but Yang Yan asked, "Who is this person?"
Yan Xintong didn't speak, Mu Lingxiang added tea to Yang Yan, and said: "His name is Ye Xuan, the eldest son of Ye Wenhua, the prime minister of the dynasty, and you and Princess Ling are the same age, but he has not gotten along with you since he was a child." β
Yang Yan was still puzzled, Yan Xintong explained: "Young master, he doesn't remember, you should remember Ye Ming, he is Ye Ming's eldest brother."
"It turned out to be Ye Ming's eldest brother, how can I say that I am somewhat similar to Ye Ming?"
Mu Lingxiang continued: "Their family is also considered an upper-family family in Yunguo, but the two boys of their family have very different personalities. That Ye Xuan just now was too ruthless in doing things, and sometimes he was really unscrupulous. β
"The second son, Ye Ming, has more freedom and ease, and sometimes he is very mindless when he does things, but he has a bold personality, more like a swordsman in the rivers and lakes, he is not in Yunjing all day long, and he likes to walk around. β
Yang Yan asked a little puzzled: "What is he looking for me?"
Mu Lingxiang was stunned by Yang Yan's question, Yan Xintong and Huo Linglang looked embarrassed, and they didn't know what to say.
