Chapter 112: A Family of Scholars

Chapter 112 Scholarly Family

Hulu Xiaoqing presented the national jade seal. This single contribution was enough for the Yuwen family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to maintain their prosperity for a lifetime.

Of course Yang Jian would also thank the other party. After all, the imperial seal represents Chinese orthodoxy and is an important weapon of the country. An emperor without the imperial seal is called a blank slate emperor and will be considered unorthodox by the world.

When Yang Jian was discussing with his ministers to defeat Chen, he asked everyone: What is the winning rate?

Gao Jiong stood up and said that it must be 100%, because possessing the jade seal passed down to the country is the imperial power granted by heaven, orthodox and legal, and Nanchen is a puppet dynasty. Our invincible army of the Sui Dynasty will sweep away the fallen leaves with the autumn wind and level the south.

Yang Jian was overjoyed, and immediately issued an edict as the Heavenly Emperor, listing twenty crimes committed by Chen Shubao, and gathering the strength of the whole country to attack Nanchen.

When he first lived in the palace, Yang Ming had always wanted to find an opportunity to see the world's most valuable treasure with his own eyes, but unfortunately, he didn't know where to keep it.

This jade seal is different from others. It will not be used casually. It is more like a symbol. Yang Jian usually has other jade seals for memorials or imperial edicts, but the imperial seal seems to only appear when the imperial power is handed over.

Yang Jian ordered Xue Daoheng, the minister of internal history, to write a memorial to express his condolences, and asked the eminent monk of Daxingshan Temple to preside over the Dharma assembly and recite the mantra for rebirth.

Xue Daoheng is also an old minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty. He is as famous as the great scholar Li Delin. He is also a super knowledgeable man. He is regarded as a confidant by Yang Jian. He should be the biggest official of Qi Chen in the Sui Dynasty. He is a Qi Chen, but he is not a native of Qi. His hometown

In Hedong.

Including Yang Guang, many important people went to Hulu Xiaoqing's house today. China has always paid attention to human relations, especially red and white matters. Even if they are not familiar with each other, they will still go there when something happens.

Yang Ming had nothing to do, so he went to Jinyang Tower again.

Yang Jun? Yang Ming curled his lips, what else could he say? If it were in the past, even a year ago, Pei Ju would have dared to refuse?

"Huh? This is Miss Pei's private matter, so I won't comment," Yang Ming said.

But now the situation is not as good as others, Yang Yong is probably trying to make a final struggle to win over Pei Ju, but unfortunately, Pei Ju doesn't like him.

Ancheng King Yang Jun is the third son of Yun Zhaoxun and has not yet married. His future fate will be the same as his two brothers, Changning King Yang Yan and Pingyuan King Yang Yu, who will die in exile.

Fang Xuanling's letter said that the construction of the palace was going smoothly. As the saying goes, build the wall first and then the courtyard. The courtyard wall of the palace has also been repaired, and the land is 28 acres.

The situation in Hedong is far more complicated than that in the fiefdoms of Yang Zhao and Yang Jian.

Yang Ming has a headache. Being a vassal king in this place is enough for him to drink a pot.

This box is very large and can accommodate twelve people. Pei Shuying and her sister are on the opposite side. The window on the north side is open, facing the direction of Qingyin Pavilion. The sound of the fufu music comes in very clearly.

Today's song is obviously much more cheerful, compared to the sad one last time, which is exactly the two extremes.

For Yang Ming, Yang Yinjiang is one of his own, so go and sit in her box.

Those like Yang Ming who are close enough can go back, but those who are far away can only stay in Jinyang Building tonight.

Yang Ming really couldn't figure out how Zhang Muqian, a vulgar martial artist, got into a scholarly family? Isn't this a toad that fell into Huaqing Pond?

The Hedong area is home to outstanding people and famous families. Among them, the Pei family of Wenxi, the Liu family of Jiexian County, and the Xue family of Fenyin are the most prestigious, followed by the Wang family of Longmen, the Jia family of Pingyang, the Wei family of Anyi, etc.

Pei Shuying was speechless. She was enjoying her piano skills here, but Yang Ming came and interrupted her thoughts. Let's find a topic to chat with the other party for a while. He always blocked the topic.

Yang Ming nodded.

Yang Ming was wondering, what day is it today, why did Gao Yue suddenly plan to open two games again? Lack of money? Impossible, he didn't even spend the fraction of what he earned last time.

The untimely period has already begun, but it is more difficult to deal with the unitary hour.

The first time he opened the door, Yang Ming almost turned around and left, but he had already stepped in with one foot and could not take it back.

The RMB used in later generations has six characters on it: People's Bank of China. The font of these six characters is the new official script created by Wei.

"What can I do?" Pei Shuying said with a smile: "As your own future concubine, shouldn't you be the one to figure it out yourself?"

Xiao Mohe is still suppressing the bandits, which surprises Yang Ming. Is there such chaos in Hedong? Why does it seem like there is no end to the suppression?

Moreover, Xiao Mohe actually incorporated some bandits into the Royal Palace, and the number of them has expanded to six hundred. Six hundred people may not sound like a lot, but when they stand in front of you, they are also completely black.

It's okay if you scold my eighteenth generation ancestors, but if you interfere with my interests, there's no way!

Most of Zhang Mu's letters introduced the situation of the local clans and how they were involved, so that Yang Ming could know what they were doing.

For example, after the funeral of Hulu Xiaoqing, his son Hulu Liwen would carry the coffin and return to his hometown of Tai'an (Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Yunnan).

The ancients emphasized that fallen leaves should return to their roots. Even though Daxing is so far away from Yunnan, Hulu Xiaoqing must go back. Otherwise, if he is buried elsewhere, he will be a lonely ghost, which will be detrimental to his descendants.

There is also water basin mutton, or steamed mutton, mashed a little and topped with garlic and wrapped in steamed pancakes or Hu pancakes, it feels great too.

Yang Ming is a vassal in this place. To be honest, it's not easy to get around. Everyone's face must be taken care of, otherwise these people will really dare to trick you.

But speaking of it, the diet of the Sui Dynasty was really not that good. There were only three types: steaming, boiling, and roasting, which meant there was no oil or water because the oil refining level was not good enough.

As for Zhang Mu, he is now a disciple of Wei family in Anyi.

"What a coincidence, I met Miss Pei again," Yang Ming awkwardly walked over and found a place to sit down.

Seeing that Yang Ming didn't respond, Pei Shuying frowned and said, "Why don't you speak?"

After arriving at Jinyang Tower, Yang Ming was quite surprised. What happened today? Why are there so many people here again?

The street outside was even blocked by carriages, so he walked the last part of the way in.

Pei Xuanji may have known that Yang Guang would be the crown prince in the future, so he no longer had the previous hostility towards Yang Ming. He behaved very humbly and took the initiative to take the teapot from the maid and pour tea for Yang Ming.

"Don't you want to meet me?" Pei Shuying asked curiously.

Therefore, even though Yang Ming is a county king, he is not the only one who can have the final say when it comes to Hedong. The relationships among the noble families are complicated and they all put their interests first.

Yang Ming was stunned and said: "Do you have any idea?"

Such days are indeed boring, just two points and one line, which is completely boring. Fortunately, occasionally there will be letters from Hedong, which can be comforted and pass some time.

There was not a piece of pastry on the table that was touched. Yang Ming felt it was a pity, so he took a piece of it and ate it by himself.

In other words, there is only half an hour left for everyone to go home.

"The prince wanted to marry me to Yang Jun, the king of Ancheng, but my father refused."

Yang Ming came to his Jinyang Tower and had nowhere to go. Fortunately, Yu Wenlan said that Yang Yinjiang had booked a private room on the second floor next to the corridor of Qingyin Pavilion early.

Yang Ming's hometown is in Hongnong County, but when he died, he was usually buried in his own fief.

My God, the rooms are going to be full tonight.

Let’s talk about the Xue family. Xue Zhou, the Minister of Punishment, was born in the Xue family in Hedong.

Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying both had this problem. Perhaps they were born into wealthy families and did not know how to save and wasted food too much. Yang Ming felt distressed every time he saw them only eating a few or three bites of food on the table.

After entering the restaurant, Yang Ming found that there was not even a place to stay. He heard from the waiter that all the teahouse boxes had been booked, and the Qingyin Pavilion was so crowded that no one could get in.

Pei Shuying saw that Yang Ming had been eating, so she politely did not disturb her. She waited until Yang Ming wiped his mouth and then said:

Steamed cakes are cooking cakes, and Hu cakes are naan. These are the two main types of pasta in the northern Sui Dynasty.

This was the case in the Sui Dynasty. No matter where you worked, your family affairs would all be in your hometown, your weddings would be held in your hometown, and your death would be buried in your hometown.

The Wei family originated in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. This is a calligraphy family that made outstanding contributions to Chinese calligraphy and cultivated an outstanding figure who was admired by later calligraphers and hailed as the Saint of Chinese Calligraphy: Wang Xizhi.

Among the Liu family, Liu Min was granted the title of Crown Prince Taibao in the early years of Emperor Kaihuang's reign because of his high status. His son Liu Ang was appointed as the governor of Luzhou. His official position was not high, but he even became good friends with Emperor Yang Jian.

However, Yang Ming has been able to find a few things that taste good over the years. One is Guoba, which is rice crust made of corn, which is yellow millet. It is quite enjoyable to eat when dipped in some broth.

The Pei family includes Pei Ju, who was an official in the province of Neishi, and Pei Zheng, who has passed away and served as Yang Yong's concubine in the east palace.

Pei Shuying said again: "I heard that you haven't seen Dugu Feng'er until now?"

You obviously don’t dare to deal with you, but you still don’t know how to play dirty tricks behind your back?

These people are not easy to mess with.

After asking around, I found out that Gao Yue was going to perform again, with two performances in total, one at noon and one at midnight in the evening.

Because there is a curfew at Xu Shi, there is only one hour between You Shi and Xu Shi, and Gao Yue's piano performance is half an hour each.

Even people who don't have iron pots at home use clay pots for cooking.

Another one, Liu Shu, the consort of the current dynasty, the Minister of War, married Yang Awu, Yang Jian's fifth daughter, Princess Lanling.

It seems that Gao Yue is in a good mood. She must have been getting along with Chen Shuyi recently, which made her a lot more cheerful.

It can be seen that Yang Yong is now at an absolute disadvantage and will have any chance of making a comeback.

Yang Ming smiled and said: "It's the same sooner or later, she can't run away."

The three largest families in Hedong, the Pei family, the Liu family, and the Xue family, each have outstanding people serving in the government.

As for Li Jing, he will ask for leave in a month because he wants to return to his hometown to get married.

This guy is so boring.

It happened that at this time, the box door was opened from the outside, and Chen Shuyi came unexpectedly.

Yang Ming hadn't seen her for so long, and when he suddenly saw her for the first time, he felt like he was seeing her again after a long absence, so he didn't care about the etiquette of master and servant, and directly pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for her to sit down.

Pei Xuanji, who was originally lying at the window looking in the direction of Qingyin Pavilion, saw Chen Shuyi and quietly moved back to his seat from the window, taking a peek from time to time.
