Before Yang Ming left, he wanted to meet Yang Lihua. He heard that she had been at Daxing Shan Temple during this period, chanting sutras and accumulating merit for his late mother.
In the temple, under the ancient green lantern Buddha, Yang Lihua was dressed in linen, kneeling on the futon, chanting:
"I hope that the merits of chanting this sutra can be dedicated to Dugu Jialuo to eliminate his karmic obstacles, increase his blessings and wisdom, and be reborn in a good path or the pure land of Buddha lands in the ten directions, to escape suffering and gain happiness."
"I wish to dedicate this merit to eliminate my karma, increase my blessings and wisdom, practice diligently, complete this Sambhogakaya, and be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss."
"I hope that this merit will spread to all, and that we and all sentient beings will achieve Buddhahood together."
After knowing that Yang Ming was coming, Yang Lihua did not look back. She did not say any extra words, she just said:
"Kneel down and recite "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra" and "Medicine Master Glazed Light Tathagata's Original Vow Sutra" to your grandmother, and then you can go."
Yang Ming nodded, knelt on another futon, clasped his hands together, and recited Buddhist scriptures.
The old Yang family is like this. They can't memorize anything else. Each Buddhist scripture is more familiar than the last.
When Yang Ming was young, he had been chanting sutras with Dugu Jialuo. He could memorize the "Maha Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra", "Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra", "Miaofa Lotus Sutra" and "The Sutra of Forty-two Chapters of the Buddha".
.
Among the rewards given by Yang Jian to Yang Ming's concubines, there were dozens of volumes of Buddhist scriptures. Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying must be able to memorize them in the future. This is the basic skill for entering the old Yang family.
"From now on, younger brother, I will call my two elder brothers Qing brother and He brother. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Yang Ming left with peace of mind.
Jing'anfang,
Dugu Feng'er only drank a bowl of porridge for two days. No matter what the maids tried, she just refused to eat.
It is easier said than done to protect both rain and dew.
That night, Yang Ming was begged by Mrs. Feng to stay for dinner.
"Is there meat in the house?" Yang Ming asked.
After Dugu was newly mourned, Yang Guang could not make plans for his concubine children at this time, but these children would definitely have to be well settled in the future. In any case, they were still his flesh and blood, although they were not as good as Yang Zhao, Yang Ming and others.
But Xu Jing said that neither of them slept and were just waiting for him to come back.
When Dugu Feng'er saw Yang Ming, she felt like she was seeing her only relative. After coming over, she lay on Yang Ming's knees, staring at him without blinking and drinking up the hot soup.
They tried their best, but they couldn't get Dugu Feng'er to eat a mouthful of food. Who knew that since His Highness, she could finish a bowl of hot soup.
The leading maid agreed quietly.
When Dugu Feng'er heard the words Dugu Jialuo, a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes. After a moment, she looked at Yang Ming again and nodded lightly.
Now that Yang Ming intends to let the two of them serve as officials in the General Manager's Mansion, there is no doubt that they will have a future, so they are naturally grateful to Yang Ming.
It was really hard for Yang Ming to address the two concubines. Unlike Yang Zhao and Yang Jian who could rank each other and call them eldest brother and second brother, these two were not in the same seniority as him.
The old Yang family is no exception, and there is also the fifth eldest princess, Yang Awu.
Where to sleep tonight is a headache. When he returned to the palace, it was already midnight.
Yang Ming hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "I can't help it, you two are my brothers, how can I bear this kneeling?"
Seeing this, Yang Ming waved his hands helplessly, losing all interest.
After leaving the palace, Yang Ming met the children of concubines in the mansion next to the Jin Palace.
After she finished bathing, Yang Ming hugged her and climbed onto the bed. It wasn't until Dugu Feng'er fell into a deep sleep that he let go of her arm.
He also asked his father, Yang Guang, to go to Jingzhou this time and was short of manpower. He wanted to bring Yang Qing, Yang He and the two concubines with him.
Her real name is Ah Qi. It can be basically determined that she is the seventh eldest child in the family.
Yang Yinjiang smiled and said: "Why? Are you tired of me so quickly?"
Therefore, the status of Yang Qing and Yang He will not be low in the future. It is most appropriate to win them over as one of our own at this time.
After knowing Yang Ming's purpose, Feng was filled with gratitude and pulled Yang Qing. Yang He came over and knelt down in front of Yang Ming.
"The guards will come over the day after tomorrow to send you away first. Wait for me at the official post in Shangluo County. Make preparations early."
"Cook some and bring it over," Yang Ming said.
Yang Ming's proposal was exactly what he wanted.
Yang Ming got rid of him all the way, and she dragged him all the way behind.
Ah Qi hurriedly knelt down and said, "I dare not ask for reward, but I want His Highness to be satisfied."
After a drink, and with Yang Ming deliberately getting close to him, the three of them chatted quite happily.
"It's okay, you can go."
After a while, two bowls of hot mutton soup were served.
"Okay, okay, I've already eaten it all. Let's eat again tomorrow," Yang Ming smiled and raised the empty bowl in his hand to her. Only then did Dugu Feng'er give up.
So Yang Ming ordered the maids to take down the empty bowls, and then ordered them to prepare hot water for bathing.
Everywhere in the house is well kept, and Dugu Feng'er's residence is also quite tidy. This shows that these maids are capable and their service is considerate.
The maid timidly said: "My real name is Ah Qi, and the princess gave me the name Wen Wan."
From Yang Ming's point of view, he needs trustworthy people around him, and brothers are undoubtedly the first choice. Secondly, his own family, just like Yang Qing, Yang He is not young anymore, and has read a lot of books, so he can share a lot of burdens for him.
Because he was afraid that she would hold on, Yang Ming did not dare to let her eat more, but went to finish the other bowl himself. However, Dugu Feng'er must have been very hungry during this period, and he was fighting for more food.
Yang Ming ordered two more bowls of hot soup to be brought to him. One bowl he used to sober up, and the other bowl was placed next to him.
Yang Yinjiang was the princess and slept in the same room as Yang Ming, so Yang Ming went to his dormitory first.
Chen Shuyi looked at Yang Yinjiang in confusion, who smiled and said: "His Royal Highness wants you to sleep with him, but you don't seem to be ready."
Chen Shuying had already fallen asleep, but someone suddenly woke her up. She was sleepy-eyed and unkempt.
"Call Chen Shuyi," Yang Ming said casually, and the maid went out.
Yang Ming smiled: "Take good care of her. As long as you serve her well, I will give you a big reward."
After hearing this, Yang Guang was very happy: "They are both your brothers. My son must be treated kindly. If there is an opportunity, he can report it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and find a real job for them. My uncle will approve it."
Then he brought another bowl to Dugu Feng'er, who didn't reach out to take it, but stuck out his tongue and licked it bit by bit.
Yes, your parents finally gave birth to a son.
Yang Qing is eighteen years old this year, Yang He is seventeen years old, and they are not married yet. They have the same mother, whose surname is Feng, from Jiangnan.
Dugu Feng'er didn't allow anyone to touch her, otherwise they would bite them. Yang Ming had no choice but to untie her clothes himself, then pick her up and put her gently into the bathtub.
Yang Qing and Yang He were also very grateful to Yang Ming. They both suffered from the fact that Dugu Jialuo paid too much attention to direct children, which led to several sons who did not dare to take their concubines seriously. As a result, the status of the concubine children of the old Yang family was low.
Shockingly low.
"That's not the case," Yang Ming said with a smile: "We have the same father and the same roots. How could I not even recognize him as a brother?"
The maid said: "Your Highness, there are all kinds of meats."
"My grandmother's name is Dugu Jialuo. She was very kind to you, but she is gone now. In the future, you have to learn to speak and chant sutras for her to accumulate merit. Do you understand?"
After leaving Daxingshan Temple, Yang Ming went to the palace to meet his parents.
These people and their biological mothers were unable to enter the palace, and they could not live in Yang Zhao's Jin Palace, so they were temporarily settled next door to the palace.
"Ah?" Chen Shuyi was stunned and looked at Yang Ming blankly. She was indeed not prepared in any way.
Yang Ming sat in the main seat.
"What's wrong?" Chen Shuyi said drowsily, squinting her eyes.
After Feng's death, they were not qualified to take care of the funeral affairs, but heirs like Yang Zhao and Yang Ming took care of it.
With a tired look on her face, Yang Yinjiang hurriedly got up, personally changed Yang Ming's clothes, and asked the maid to prepare to wash Yang Ming.
However, Yang Ming's family has a special situation. Because Yang Guang will be the emperor in the future, it is unlikely that his concubine will be crowned a prince, but it is still certain that he will be crowned a county prince.
The maids on the side were stunned.
Feng hurriedly said: "It's OK, Sanlang just calls him by his first name."
"What's your name?" Yang Ming asked.
Yang Ming saw the performance of this maid just now. She was very nice and patient. She always said some interesting words to make Feng'er happy.
Yang Ming nodded: "Don't worry."
Yang Yinjiang curled her lips: "Some people can't stop once they're exposed to fishy smell, but you have to pay attention to your body."
Yang Ming licked the bowl like he drank sesame paste in the advertisement, and Dugu Feng'er couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Dugu Feng'er grabbed Yang Ming's wrist with one hand, as if she was afraid that he would leave. She let others clean her body, but her eyes always fell on Yang Ming's face, never moving away for a moment.
After agreeing on a date to leave Beijing, Yang Ming told them to pack their bags in the near future and then left.
Ah Qi nodded and said: "Your Highness is really powerful. I have six sisters and one brother."
This shows how miserable the concubine’s status is, even her own mother cannot recognize her.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "You have six sisters?"
Common people's family naming is a bit confusing for children. As long as it includes a number, such as Li San, then it must be the third oldest child, such as Wang Sixi, then it must be the fourth oldest child.
Yang Ming simply squatted down, grabbed the mutton with his hands, and fed it to Dugu Feng'er bit by bit, but the latter didn't reject him at all and bit into the meat with big mouthfuls.
In the Sui Dynasty, concubines like Yang Qing and Yang He could not call their biological mother mother, but aunt or aunt. Like Yang Ming, they had to call Concubine Xiao mother.
"You guessed what I'm going to do?" Yang Ming said blankly.
Although she had expected this day for a long time, she did not expect it to happen so soon. You have just gotten married, and you already have a wife and a concubine. How can you still think of me?
Chen Shuyi thought for a while, then Nuonuo said: "Then I go back and clean up?"
Yang Ming took off his boots and went to bed: "Forget it, let's do it another day."
Yang Yinjiang quickly winked at Chen Shuyi, who understood and quietly retreated.
Just when Yang Ming was confused, he felt a naked arm stretching out from under the quilt.
He could already smell that familiar body fragrance.
But he was really sleepy,
You can do whatever you want, I'm too lazy to move
