retaliate

Chapter 273
Early in the morning, Yang Xuan had just had breakfast when someone knocked on the door.

Wang Lao Er thought it was a craftsman, opened the door and said, "It's so early, hey! Sir, that lady Wei came to look for you."

Wei Linger smiled sweetly, "Is Yang Sima up yet?"

Wang Lao Er said: "Lang Jun has woken up early."

He took Wei Ling'er in, and after Yang Xuan came out, Wang Lao Er went to look for the old thief.

"Old thief, this lady looks at the water so well."

The old thief said casually: "Not fierce enough."

"What do you mean?" Wang Laoer asked.

The old thief patted his chest with both hands.

"It's not a cow."

"Young people don't understand!"

"You understand?"

"Of course the old man understands."

"Then Chang Sanniang doesn't have big breasts either!"

The old thief coughed dryly, "A chest is half a catty, but friendship is priceless."

"Oh! Hey! Old thief, how do you know it's half a catty?"

Old thief...how does this old man know?

Yang Xuan smiled wryly, changed his clothes, and followed Wei Linger out.

"It's at my house."

Wei Linger was quite happy, talking about the situation after the farewell.

This girl is pure and innocent, Yang Xuan also responded with a smile.

The county mansion is very large, and Wei Zhong, as the general of Youwuwei, has a high position and authority, and even his disciples hold their heads high and their chests high, and they are extraordinarily energetic.

There are no back gardens in the novels, just squatting in the lobby.

Charcoal fires were burning extravagantly in several copper stoves, even though the lobby was closed, it was still warm.

Chen Zimao and others were also there, and everyone was just chatting at the moment, waiting for the host, Wei Linger.

All the people present here are young people, and they are all regulars in the circle of young masters and noble ladies in Chang'an, and they became popular within a few moments.

The young man in the moonlight robe took a sip of hot tea, rubbed his hands, and asked Chen Zimao beside him, "Who is so arrogant that Ling'er is going to pick it up?"

Ling'er is also what you can call?

Chen Zimao sneered in his heart, this person is called Jiang Cheng, he has a good family, and even his aunt married into the Yang family, and in recent years, with the support of the Yang family, things are going well.

This person is regarded as a new rich man, so Chen Zimao naturally would not offend him, and said with a smile: "This person is the local Sima."

"Sima? Isn't that a post of exile?" Jiang Cheng said reservedly.

Chang Shi, Sima, and Bie Jia, who are called Shangzuo, are actually the pension positions for those who have failed in official career.Don't care about the shit, if you have a literary name, you can often hold parties in the local area, and some people flatter you and send money to women.

Those who have no money and no literary talents to wait for the rank and file have the same meaning as being an official in a place of exile.

Asking such a question, it seems that the nouveau riche atmosphere is very strong, Chen Zimao felt disdainful, but smiled and said: "I don't know."

"Then why should you treat me so favorably?"

"Hehe!" Chen Zimao wanted to explain, but the trip to northern Xinjiang was his Waterloo, so he couldn't open his mouth.

After returning from Chang'an, these Jiaojiao were dealt with by their families, and the worst one was Chen Zimao.As the speaker and organizer, if such a big incident happened, the family must come forward to make amends everywhere.

He was reprimanded by his family and has been grounded ever since.If Wei Linger hadn't sent someone to invite him yesterday, he still couldn't get out.

"Little lady!"

Greetings from the maid outside.

Jiang Shan smiled, "Wait for me to see who it is."

Zhang Dongqing and others got up, Jiang Shan was stunned.

When he saw that even Chen Zimao stood up to greet him, he quickly followed suit.

Chen Zimao, Hong Ya and the others had not simple backgrounds, and to welcome one person together, the identity of this person must be even more not simple.

Wei Linger came in first, and said with a smile, "He was still sleeping when I went."

This is a joke between friends.

But Jiang Shan immediately made up his mind: the noble son who is still lying high at this moment is most likely to be loved at home.

I make friends with good students.

The so-called circle gatherings of these people are actually a way of socializing. Expanding their contacts with each other can not only help their families, but also pave the way for themselves.

Jiang Shan smiled.

Watching a young man walk in.

Steady pace.

A calm demeanor.

hand over.

smile.

Wei Linger said: "Chenzhou Sima, Yang Xuan, Yang Zitai!"

Jiang Shan was taken aback, he knew that Chenzhou was in the northern border, but if he was a noble son, how could he go to such a poor place?
Chen Zimao looked uncomfortable before!

In an instant, Jiang Shan thought of the latest news.

It was rumored that Chen Zimao and others were in danger during their trip to northern Xinjiang, and Liao Jin, deputy envoy of Jiedu, personally rescued them.When Liao Jin came to Chang'an a few days ago, Chen Zimao and other parents greeted him, and he was busy going to the banquet for several days.

And the host of the banquet was the family from this trip to northern Xinjiang, and even Wei Linger's family invited him once.

So... this person probably participated in the rescue, no wonder Wei Linger specially hosted a banquet today.

After thinking about this clearly, Jiang Shan smiled more reservedly.

Just a frontier Sima.

Yang Xuan took his seat, and then Wei Linger ordered people to serve wine and food.

"If you don't get drunk today, you won't go home." Wei Linger raised his wine glass with a serious face.

"No drunk, no return."

Everyone raised their glasses loudly.

……

Zhou.

Waking up early in the morning, Zhou Zun went to visit his father to say hello.

"Did Ah Ning change his mind?" Zhou Qin looked a little annoyed, with blisters on the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Zun smiled wryly, "Yesterday I sent people away, and Aning said that if she forced her again, she would follow that kid to northern Xinjiang. Aye, you know Aning's temperament, she will do what she says."

Zhou Qin patted the table, "Bring the wine!"

The servant Liu He glanced at Zhou Zun, and Zhou Qin said angrily: "Could it be that what the old man said doesn't work?"

Zhou Zun smiled wryly, "Aye, your illness..."

"Bring it!" Zhou Qin slapped the table, taking off his shoes as if to whip someone.

"Aye!"

Zhou Zun waved his hand, and Liu He resigned.

"presumptuous!"

"Aye redemption, ouch!"

Lang Jun was beaten again, and Liu He stood outside with a sob on his face.

"A-Ning's marriage should be settled sooner!"

"Yes!"

"How old are you? If you don't marry again, who will you marry in the future?"

"Yes. But Aye, who are you looking for?"

"Four surnames in a family, Yang's. There are three other families."

"Aye, their family doesn't have the right age."

"Have you asked?"

"I've inquired about it. Those who are of the right age are not good enough for Aning."

"The royal family... Forget it, our family doesn't get involved in the royal family's affairs, and we stay away from them in marriage."

"Yes."

"By the way, what do they say about the candidate for Zhongshu's assistant?"

"Aye, Yang's side is bound to win."

"Mr. Yang is too greedy."

"Aye, after all, it is the Yingchuan Yang family."

"The Yang family is the Yang family, and the Zhou family is the Zhou family. Although there are four surnames in a family, you can see that the Yang family holds the queen and the prince, and the Chunyu family holds the crown prince... These two families are the closest. Da Lang."

"Aye."

"The Zhou family has been passed down for many years, don't make wedding dresses for others."

"Aye, don't worry, the Yang family and the Chunyu family will follow their own way, and the Zhou family will follow their own way. Well water will not interfere with river water."

"In this way, the old man can rest assured."

A steward came outside, waving at Liu He, "Come here quickly, and help check the warehouse."

"Yes." Liu He turned around and glanced inside.Zhou Qin was lying on his side on the couch, his long eyebrows raised slightly, like a crouching tiger.Zhou Zun sat on the footsteps and stretched out his hands to pinch his father's legs.

After a while, someone came in and said in a low voice, "Liu He is gone."

Zhou Qin said flatly: "Don't let him come near here for a few days."

"Yes."

Come and leave.

Zhou Qin said: "It's not surprising that Jingtai put people in the family, but Liu He is the son of the Zhou family, and he can be bribed, which shows that people's hearts are unpredictable."

"Aye, it's almost time to deal with it?" Zhou Zun hated the traitor.

"What's the rush?" Zhou Qin said, "It's more beneficial to keep it. If Liu He is dealt with, there will inevitably be more others. A bright light is worse than a dark one."

"What did Aye mean when he mentioned the vacancy of Zhongshu's servant?"

"you!"

Zhou Zun looked up in astonishment, "Aye, do you want me to seek this job?"

Zhou Qin nodded, "The emperor is getting more and more insane, and the world is about to change. If the Zhou family is still dormant, and the court will change in the future, who will speak for the Zhou family?"

"Aye mean... the succession of the throne?"

"The two princes were thrown to the northern and southern borders, why do you think?"

Zhou Zun said: "In addition to checking and balancing the prince..."

"What did you think of?" Zhou Qin picked up the teacup and sniffed it. A pair of thick eyebrows were raised slightly, and a few super-long eyebrows pointed upward like long swords, and they were extremely sharp.

Zhou Zun said: "Young family, and Chunyu family!"

"Although you have been dormant all these years, this remark made my father quite gratified." Zhou Qin smiled, "The crown prince is now in a near-death situation. The Yang family and the Chunyu family have been planning for the next emperor for a long time, but they are reluctant to leave him. , so I tried my best to support it.”

Zhou Zun's heart moved, "Yang's family and Chunyu's family are very unwise. But people are greedy. If the prince succeeds in ascending the throne, the head of the country will be the grandfather, and Chunyushan will be the uncle of the country. What a rich return. The wisdom passed down by the Yang family for many years , came to Yang Songcheng's place, but was overwhelmed by the generous rewards."

Zhou Qin put down his teacup, and said quietly: "Everyone in the world thinks that the emperor sent the two princes out of Chang'an to contain the prince. He is so stupid. He never puts the son of the prince in his eyes. It is the Yang family and Chunyu who he wants to contain. Shi, is a family of four surnames!"

Zhou Zun said in a low voice: "What my father said earlier was for the emperor."

Zhou Qin said sarcastically: "He likes to play tricks the most. When he learns that there is discord between the Zhou family, the Yang family, and the Chunyu family, he will take action almost without thinking."

Zhou Qin smiled, "Da Lang, after hearing what Liu He said, there will be a response from the palace in three days at the latest!"

Later Zhou Zun resigned, and an old servant came in after him.

"Aron."

Zhou Qin picked up the teacup and took a sip, "How is Liu He's family?"

The old servant looked a little old, and coughed a few times, "Liu He's brother begged Mr. Lang the year before last, and was able to get out of slavery, and now he is a bad handsome in Chang'an County."

Zhou Qin smiled, "It's a good official position."

The old servant bowed, "Yes."

An hour later.

Liu He, who was helping to check the warehouse, was called out.

"What's the matter?"

He was sweating profusely, but smiled comfortably.

The visitor sighed.

"Your bad handsome brother has gone."

The smile froze, "Why?"

"Your brother was patrolling the street. A carriage was carrying heavy goods... The horse was frightened, the carriage overturned... crushed to death."

The old servant now entered the backyard.

Zhou Qin was taking a walk, and his third-ranked grandson, Zhou Xin, was by his side, telling some outside jokes to cheer him up.

"Hahahaha!"

Zhou Qin laughed like a child.

The old servant came in and saluted, Zhou Xin knew the rules and left immediately.

After walking for a while, Zhou Xin turned around to look at his grandfather, and sighed: "I grew up listening to those things about A Weng. How majestic A Weng was back then, but I was confused when I was old. So far in life, the most embarrassing, but the most embarrassing. Nothing to do."

The old servant approached and said, "Ah Lang, Liu He's brother startled the horses pulling the carriage on the street earlier, the carriage overturned and crushed him to death."

Zhou Qin said lightly: "People's hearts will also be overturned."

……

forecourt.

Zhou Zun, who had just seen off a guest, was also walking in the yard.

"It's cold, sitting in the house looks warm, but once a person doesn't move, the blood stagnates, so there must be a combination of movement and stillness."

Zhou Zun said with a smile.

The staff beside him said, "Mr. Lang actually knows medical skills?"

Zhou Zun sighed, "Ah Ning ordered it."

Knowing about the disputes in this family, the aides persuaded them by virtue of being an old man: "Young lady is quite filial at home. Even if she went to the Imperial College in a fit of anger, she often sent people to bring medicine back. She often asked about the health of the family members. ...Lang Jun, a family, harmony and beauty are the blessings."

Zhou Zun smiled wryly, "I don't know this old man. It's just that I can't watch Ah Ning marry a brat who has no roots. Thinking of her suffering with that brat in the future, the old man panicked in his heart, and wished that someone would mess with that brat. Go to southern Xinjiang and never come back."

The staff member smiled, "Yang Xuan also knows a little bit about this old man. He was born in a peasant family in Yuanzhou. He has suffered since he was a child. He went to the mountains to hunt at the age of ten. He survived and became a good hunter. Your lord, this is a fate!"

The so-called great fate often means great fortune.

Zhou Zun's complexion looked better with this round-the-clock advice.

"He entered the Guozijian because of the Wang family, but that was in exchange for kindness. Taiping and other vicious places were governed by him almost without picking up any leftovers. This way of governing the place is amazing. During the period, he defeated aliens several times. To attract Huang Chunhui back to Beijing to report victory and to bring him with him, this is martial arts. Sir, such all-round talents in civil and military... not many!"

"The old man doesn't know much, but he has no foundation!"

The staff member smiled, "Couldn't the Zhou family become his foundation?"

Zhou Zun was taken aback.

The staff knew that their father and son were fans of the authorities, so they took advantage of the situation to enlighten them.

"The Zhou family seems to be very powerful, but how many people are there like Yang Xuan? Forgive me, it's hard to say how much profit can be made by marrying a young lady, but Yang Xuan has a bright future. Hurry up son-in-law, in time, the Zhou family can also help a lot!"

Zhou Zun was silent.

The staff member smiled slightly, turned around and said: "Go and ask what Yang Xuan is doing."

Zhou Zun said indifferently: "He went to the Ministry of Officials to report first, and then he was repairing the house. The boy is rude!"

Before the father-in-law agrees, you have to decorate the new house first.

What do you mean?
The aide smiled and said: "Young man, he is always impatient. Besides, he is alone, and he is estranged from his brothers and sisters. It can be said that he is isolated and helpless. What else can he do if he arrives in Chang'an?"

"I'm estranged from the imperial concubine's brothers and sisters. I don't know whether he intends to or not." Zhou Zun's eyes were filled with admiration.

"Brothers and sisters of the imperial concubine..." the staff said: "Their prosperity is booming, and their death is sudden! The old man asserts that when His Majesty declines, it is the day when their brothers and sisters fall!"

"This kind of people, whoever gets too close, is short-sighted!" Zhou Zun judged with the eyes of the family.

The servant will be back later.

"Then Sima Yang went to the banquet today."

"Whose house?"

"Wei Ling'er, the daughter of General Youwuwei Wei Zhong's family, hosted a banquet for Yang Sima today."

Zhou Zun turned and went in.

The staff accompanied him and almost tripped over him accidentally. He staggered and stabilized his body. When he looked back, the stone slab on the ground was broken into more than ten pieces and scattered.

Wasn't it fine just now?
He raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Zun who entered the room with his hands behind his back in front of him, looking at the sky speechlessly.

……

Thank you "Wang Er, who is calm and breezy" for rewarding the leader.
