Coming out of Prince Duan's Mansion, Prince Ancheng directly entered the palace. The emperor was looking at Prince Anzhuo and Prince Anqing Cuju with a smile. Each of them was accompanied by four or five small eunuchs. Running around here and there, King Anzhuo is not as strong as King Anqing, and he gets tired after running for a while. Seeing King Anqing snatch Ju at his feet, he is so envious that he rushes to grab it.

How dare the little eunuchs stop them, the two little princes just started arguing like this, the emperor looked at them with a smile and didn't say anything, the prince of Ancheng had already stepped forward to separate the two, lifted the prince of Anqing up and reprimanded him: "You are As an older brother, are you ashamed to rob your younger brother like this? How did the second brother let you at home?"

Anqing County King was wronged and stopped talking, Anzhuo County King hugged Ju Le: "The elder brother is still facing me."

King Ancheng didn't condone him, saying: "Since it's Cuju, you have to abide by the rules. How can you come up to grab it openly? If you win, do you think it's glorious?" up.

The emperor laughed loudly: "It's still Bo Rang who will take care of people. These two tough guys almost knocked over the roof all morning." King Ancheng went up to greet the emperor, and there was some reproach in his tone: "Grandfather It’s too pampering for them.”

The emperor laughed and said, "This is Bo Rang's ability, otherwise how could the emperor's grandfather be so worry-free."

This is considered a very high compliment. The king of Ancheng County asked the emperor a few more questions about his daily life. The emperor was very happy and sent his two grandchildren, who had their hands tied and their heads bowed, to play in the imperial garden. The hand of King Ancheng entered the Xinuang Pavilion: "Is there something for Bo Rang?"

King Ancheng smiled and said: "It's nothing serious, I just came back from the emperor's uncle. I saw Yan Yucheng." The smile on the emperor's face immediately faded a bit: "Yi Bo let's see, how true is this?"

Since the question was a little serious, it meant that he had doubts. The King of Ancheng laughed and said, "I have only heard about such things as Canghai leftover pearls in dramas, but I have never seen them before. Didn't Jing Huan make an appointment with the eldest daughter of the Yan family?" Dear, I heard from him that Yan Yucheng's biological mother is the eldest aunt of the Yan family. I heard that this aunt's boudoir name is Kefang. She also learned poetry, calligraphy and etiquette when she was young. She is also very smart and shrewd. The old man and the old lady love each other like a treasure, and they want to find a good husband for her. It was delayed until she was 16 years old. Unexpectedly, a disaster happened, and Yan Kefang was pregnant. No matter how she asked, she was tortured. The maids and women around me also said they didn't know. Grandfather, think about it. A lady from a great family, who never goes outside the door. Isn't it a strange thing to be pregnant at home for no reason? Old Master Yan is just such a girl After all, I feel distressed. When I saw my daughter lost her soul, she stopped asking and raised her well. Who knew that Yan Kefang died when she gave birth. It was a big deal, and everyone in the house knew about it. The old man Yan said that he wanted to keep his mouth shut. It’s a scandal, if you keep it hidden, you don’t know what ugly words will come out, and you are not allowed to cover it up, if others want to inquire, they will ask to inquire, so almost everyone in Jiangxi knows about it.”

The emperor laughed and said, "This old man really sees it well."

The king of Ancheng County smiled and said: "After all, he is a great Confucian, with an open mind and a love for daughters. After Yan Kefang died, Yan Yucheng was handed over to Mrs. Yan San to be raised. She was pregnant with the eldest daughter of the Yan family at the time. Yan Yucheng felt pity for Yan Yucheng very much. After Yan Yu grew up, he did not hide his life experience. Yan Yucheng called his uncle and aunt according to his seniority. Even outsiders did not shy away from it. ***Son, my aunt passed away early, and I raised him as my own son."

The emperor nodded slightly: "After all, the Yan family is clear and upright. If they deliberately conceal it, they will be inferior."

King Ancheng agreed: "At the beginning when the Xu family and the Yan family were married, when they heard about Yan Yucheng's life experience, the Xu family was still worried. With such an aunt in front, they were afraid that the girl from the Yan family would follow suit, but Mr. Xu The wife said that the Yan family is so unafraid of people's words and is upright, just because of this, it is worthy of this family relationship, and they also love Yan Yucheng very much."

The emperor nodded and said: "At the beginning, your uncle did leave the capital for a while, and it is unknown if he went to Jiangxi. Let's make a decision on this matter when Minzhi comes back. If it is true, it is a good thing. After all, your uncle has no son. , is a sickness in my heart."

If it is, then admit it, if it is not, it will not blame the Yan family.

The king of Ancheng County got the emperor's intention, so he was relieved, and picked some interesting things outside the palace to tell the emperor, which made the emperor very happy, and said: "A few days ago, Madam Xu who was next to the queen mother came to pay her respects, and said that she was accepted. Entrusted by your mother and concubine, she went to the Xu family to teach your little daughter-in-law, saying that she is very smart, and people like Madam Xu praised her. Having said that, I just want to see you, when is the right time to ask her to enter the palace to pay her respects."

Hearing what the emperor said, King Ancheng was also very happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "If we get married, it's okay to wait in front of our ancestors every day, but now after all, we haven't been married, and my grandson is afraid that she will be thin-skinned. Ashamed, the ancestor asked, you have to cover up for your grandson."

The emperor laughed: "I didn't expect you to be a protector, that's all. Bring it here for the Queen Mother to have a look during the Chinese New Year when the wife and relatives pay their respects. It's not a violation of the rules." King Ancheng smiled Yes.

At this time, Xu Miaoyun was listening to Xu Peining and Xu Jinghan discussing how to visit Mrs. Yang. Before Yang Minzhi left, he entrusted Mrs. Yang to the Xu family. Mrs. Xu sent someone to pretend to be Mrs. Yang's neighbor when she lived outside. After a while, no one in the Yang family doubted her, but after Yang Minzhi left, Fourth Grandma Yang lost her fears and treated Mrs. Yang badly.

There are a total of four sons in the Yang family of Duke Yun's mansion, all of whom live together, and there are grandsons under the sons. There are more than 100 people in total. After taking good care of her, when Mrs. Xu sent someone to pay her respects to Yang's house again, not only did she not see Mrs. Yang's face, but she couldn't even find out the letter after paying the money.

Mrs. Xu felt that something was wrong, and said to Xu Peining: "Since Yang Min is here, Fourth Grandma Yang still has some scruples. Once he leaves, she will not change her mind. Fourth Master Yang is a fool, so rely on him to fail." No. Yang Minzhi entrusted us with his mother, so we have to take care of it and see Mrs. Yang as soon as possible."

Xu Peining said: "I met Mrs. Yang twice in the temple before, but it was also in front of Mrs. Yang. Now that the important person comes suddenly, Mrs. Yang will be suspicious."

Xu Jinghan said: "The concierge of the Yang family has been instructed, and it is useless to inquire again. It seems that we have to find another way."

Xu Miaoyun came up with an idea: "It's not convenient for us to come forward, I can ask Nannan for help. She knows Yang Wan'er, and Yang Wan'er owes her a favor."

Xu Jinghan asked curiously: "How do you say that? Isn't the Yang family from Prince Duan? Miss Tang knows her?"

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said: "It's a long time ago. Yang Wan'er suddenly had sunflower water in school, and she didn't know that her skirt was dirty. Nannan and her didn't talk to each other, and they didn't bother to remind her. They were afraid of causing trouble. It's not good for everyone to know. After all, she was soft-hearted. She reminded her and promised not to tell anyone. Yang Wan'er was very grateful to her. In school, Yang Wan'er was the only one who didn't dare to confront Tang Nannan. This time, ask her It’s not hard to think about it if you help inquire about the news.”

As he spoke, he asked someone to invite Tang Nannan.Tang Nannan agreed and wanted to go to Yang's house with Xu Miaoyun: "Maybe I can bring you to see Mrs. Yang."

Xu Jing said with a smile: "Mrs. Yang has never seen Miao Yun, so let me go."

Tang Nannan and the two Xu family sisters took a car to the back alley of Duke Yun's mansion.

Tang Nannan asked someone to pass the message, and Yang Wan'er really came out. She rarely went out after being dropped out of school because she failed the quarterly exam. She was also very surprised to see Tang Nannan coming to her.Seeing Mrs. Yang being asked, he said, "Are you talking about Aunt Cao?"

Mrs. Yang is the Xu family's respectful name for Yang Minzhi's mother.In the Yang family, everyone called her Aunt Cao.

Tang Nannan said, "What? Do you know her?"

Yang Wan'er didn't take it seriously: "She is fourth uncle's oldest concubine, why don't you know her? I rarely see her on weekdays, and fourth uncle doesn't pay much attention to her, but she has a capable son, and my grandfather thinks highly of her." Although the fourth aunt held grudges, she didn't dare to do anything about it, but the fourth brother went to Jiangxi a few days ago, and the fourth aunt asked Aunt Cao to set the rules every day. Yesterday she thought the tea she served was hot, so she asked her to kneel in the Buddhist hall and think about it Woolen cloth."

Xu Miaoyun became anxious immediately, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Xu Jinghan, Xu Jing said with a smile: "It's too abrupt to say it, because last time we went to offer incense with my grandmother, I ran into Aunt Cao, who is very familiar with Buddhist scriptures She is also very well-mannered, and my grandmother likes it very much, so she has to go to the house to talk. I didn't know that she was the aunt of your mansion. Yesterday, I accidentally remembered that Aunt Cao was very rare. I wanted to ask her to come to the mansion to talk. After inquiring, the concierge said he didn't know, and troubled Miss Yang to come out, in fact, it was out of filial piety to grandma, the old man finally wanted someone to talk to, and he had to ask her to do so."

Tang Nannan nodded repeatedly, and said: "I can only ask you for help in this matter. First, I owe you a favor. Second, after Yang Minzhi came back, he knew that he would only be grateful to you. You can earn a lot of money with just a little effort." pay."

Yang Wan'er is a girl from the eldest room, and she mostly just listens to the fourth room's affairs, and doesn't pay attention to it. Seeing what Tang Nannan said, she feels a little relieved.

In fact, she also heard from her mother that the fourth uncle is lustful, there are a lot of aunts in the room, and he has no shape all day long. It is his good fortune to have a son like Yang Minzhi in his previous life. Heart, if I help out this time, the favor I owe to Tang Nannan will be worth it, and I will still make money in front of Yang Minzhi, and I will definitely make a profit without losing it, so I smiled and said: "It's a small matter, leave it to me, I can bring people out, but only if Auntie Cao believes in me, otherwise I will just think I am plotting against her."

Xu Jing said with a smile: "I've met Aunt Cao, let me go with Miss Yang." Xu Miaoyun was worried about Xu Jinghan, and hurriedly said: "My daughter is also following, there are so many people, it's easy to do things."

Tang Nannan said: "It's only natural."

As he spoke, he and Xu Jinghan followed Yang Wan'er into Yun Guogong's mansion, leaving Xu Miaoyun alone in the carriage waiting.

This is the back alley of Duke Yunguo's mansion. It is very quiet, but it is also convenient for the Yang family's dandies to sneak into the mansion from here in order to avoid the blame of their father, brother and elders. Brothel, just sneaked home now, and felt strange seeing a strange carriage in the back alley, so she asked someone to ask, Xu Miaoyun called the guard to answer: "Our girl is here to find the young lady of your mansion."

Yang Wan'er is Yang Minxing's younger sister, so Yang Wan'er usually knows who Yang Minxing is friends with. Now that someone she has never heard of comes here, she naturally becomes curious and insists on asking her name.The guard's face darkened: "How can we tell the name of our girl."

Yang Minxing is domineering, the more he doesn't know, the more he has to ask, and relying on being outside the Yang family's gate, the strong dragon will not overwhelm the snake, seeing that there is going to be a riot, Yang Wan'er came out, saw Yang Minxing with sharp eyes, and yelled: " Brother, what are you doing? Mother is asking you!"

Yang Minxing salivated and smiled when he heard the words: "I see that they are my sister's friends. I want to ask, who knew they were so rude."

Yang Wan'er was so angry: "Since they are my friends, they are all boudoir girls. What are you asking? What does it have to do with you? When I get back, I will tell my mother to let her beat you. You just hang out every day to provoke this one and that one." Even my friends dared to make up their minds..." Yang Minxing was still a little afraid of this younger sister when he was about to cry, so he hurriedly slipped into the mansion through the back door.

Aunt Cao followed behind, dumbfounded at this scene, but luckily Tang Nannan and Xu Jinghan both wore veiled hats, otherwise Yang Minxing would have noticed.It is absolutely impossible to move.

Yang Wan'er said to Tang Nannan: "I'm in the house, just don't worry and ask Aunt Cao to go. Just ask someone to send it back at night, and we will not owe each other in the future."

Tang Nannan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I don't owe you anything, this time I owe you." Yang Wan'er was very satisfied with Tang Nannan's politeness, and went back after watching the carriage leave.

Xu Miaoyun secretly looked at Aunt Cao in the carriage, there is no doubt that even now Aunt Cao's face is a bit haggard and haggard.It can also be seen that he was a beauty when he was young, otherwise Fourth Master Yang would not be able to spend all his time keeping him outside.

Perhaps it is because of the belief in Buddhism.Aunt Cao smelled of sandalwood, and she looked very kind. She was wearing a half-new pine green plain beanie, and she looked a little old-fashioned. It could be seen that life in the Yang family was not good, no matter how promising Yang Minzhi was. Well, she is always a concubine, even if she recognizes her back, she is still a concubine, an aunt, and it is impossible to get high treatment.

When Xu Miaoyun was secretly looking at Aunt Cao, Aunt Cao was also secretly looking at Xu Miaoyun. The young girl was as delicate as a flower, and she was more decently dressed than the young ladies of the Yang family. Her face was full of childishness. He didn't dare to start a conversation, but he was familiar with Xu Jinghan.

She also lived alone with Yang Minzhi for more than ten years. A person like Yang Siye is destined to be unable to shelter his wife and children from the wind and rain. She is still the one who makes things happen inside and out. Therefore, Aunt Cao knows the ways of the world very well, and exchanged greetings with Xu Jinghan: "I couldn't believe it if I didn't see the girl."

Xu Jing said with a smile: "Mrs. Yang, please tell me Jing Han. This is my little sister Miao Yun."

Aunt Cao said: "Don't dare to be a wife of a girl. Everyone in the house calls me Aunt Cao, and the girl should call me that too."

Xu Jinghan was a little embarrassed, but Xu Miaoyun smiled and said: "My brother and your son are good friends, and we can be regarded as your juniors. Can I call you Aunt Cao?"

Xu Jinghan hurriedly smiled and said: "What Miaoyun said is true, you don't dislike it, let us call you auntie."

Aunt Cao knew that she had met two smart people, so she smiled slightly, as a tacit consent.

When we arrived at Xu's house, Aunt Cao greeted Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu laughed and said, "I invite you here in a different way, don't think it's impolite."

Aunt Cao said a few words of humility, and Mrs. Xu felt relieved when she saw that Aunt Cao looked haggard, but she didn't look like she had been wronged. She talked with Aunt Cao about some homely things, stayed for lunch, and said in the afternoon Read Buddhist scriptures for a while.

Aunt Cao saw that the Xu family changed their ways to ask her to come out, but it was nothing serious. She knew in her heart that she must be afraid of being bullied, so she came out to relax. It would be false to say that she was not moved, but Aunt Cao also understood that the Xu family did this. It's all based on his son's face. If it wasn't for his son's promise, would the Xu family know about him?Why don't they pick up Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhou who are the same as themselves?

This is human and worldly. Aunt Cao is not so lofty as to say that the Xu family is snobbish. Humans are like this, and it is the same wherever she goes. If her son is not promising, she cannot be recognized, and her son cannot recognize her ancestors. Parents who are related by blood Brothers are like this, don't blame others for that.

Aunt Cao can't support her son by relying on Fourth Master Yang alone. Fourth Master Yang, who thought of coming, dropped dozens of taels of silver and ran away. It is difficult to see each other in half a year. Relying on him, mother and son I'm going to drink the northwest wind.

At the beginning, Aunt Cao relied on doing some needlework for money to supplement the family. Fortunately, apart from herself and her son, there was only one maid, one woman, and one old servant at the gate, so there was not much use for her.

What is really difficult is that after the son grows up, he needs money to study and learn martial arts. Boys eat too much, three meals a day can't make up for it, they grow fast, and their clothes have to be changed every six months. These are all unavoidable.

Aunt Cao couldn't help it, so she started to take out her savings to do business with her neighbors. She didn't understand business, so she invested in dry stocks. Sometimes she made money, sometimes she lost money, and there were many days when she was struggling.

The children of the poor have been in charge of the family early. Yang Minzhi has been smart since he was a child, and he also knows how to love others. He is talented in learning martial arts. scholar.

Seeing that his son was promising, Fourth Master Yang came more often, and the family life became better, but in the end, he did not hide the truth from the Yang family. At Yun Guogong's age, seeing that his son and grandson were all worthless, suddenly there were more The grandson of a Wu Jinshi was so happy that he immediately asked him to enter the mansion and recognize his ancestors.
