Chapter 532: Different Ways (Sadly Falling for Soot 4)
In the afternoon, Yang Xuan went to his father-in-law's house.
Zhou Zun came back from the Yamen. After changing his clothes, he drank with him.
Zhou Qin arrived late, wearing hunting clothes.
"I've missed all my arrows today!"
Zhou Zun stood up and said, "Congratulations, Aye."
"Congratulations Aweng."
Yang Xuan secretly praised him for his good archery skills.
Zhou Qin sat down and Zhou Zun asked, "How many rats did Aye kill today?"
Rat... Yang Xuan: "..."
"More than twenty." Seeing Yang Xuan's sluggishness, Zhou Qin said with a straight face, "You must know that rice is hard to come by."
"Yes!" Yang Xuan was confused.
Zhou Zun said: "The rules passed down from our ancestors are to cherish rice. I am in good health. Every spring plowing, I go to the village outside the city to have a look, and I follow suit."
A long time ago, it was a rule that during spring plowing, the emperor would take his palace people or ministers to plow the fields.
This is an example.
"Emperors have all learned the rules of my family." Zhou Zun said calmly.
"It's hard for me to go out." Zhou Qin was a little annoyed.
Yang Xuan understood that Zhou Qin couldn't go out, but he had to abide by the ancestral rules, so he made some changes.
"Where did Aweng shoot the mouse?"
"granary."
Zhou Qin drank a few glasses of wine and became more emotional.
"I ordered several people to go in and drive them away, beating gongs and drums! Then I asked people to drive them away with brooms on both sides, and the rats could only run towards me."
"This is the art of war! I think Aweng shoots an arrow with one arrow."
"The rats are fat and there are quite a lot of them. I hit two of them with one arrow."
Others kill two birds with one stone, you kill two rats with one stone.
Meow!
Meow meow meow!
The cats outside were meowing extremely fiercely.
"What's the fuss about?" Zhou Qin said dissatisfied.
A servant came in and said, "Alang, all the cats at home are squatting in front of the granary and howling."
Zhou Qin coughed a few times and said, "It will be fine in a few days."
Yang Xuan: "This is..."
Zhou Zun said calmly: "Drink!"
Yang Xuan understood immediately.
The mice in the warehouse were killed by Zhou Qin, and the cats at home lost the opportunity to hunt and take supplements.
People are like dogs trying to catch mice, you are like humans trying to catch mice.
Zhou Qin stroked his beard and asked, "What does Huang Chunhui mean?"
"Northern Xinjiang is far away from Chang'an, and there is a powerful enemy in front of us. How to deal with it, Huang Xianggong has his own strategy."
"The emperor is not a famous general, and by interfering arbitrarily, he is ignoring the overall situation. Huang Chunhui has tolerated him for many years, and finally he can't bear it anymore," Zhou Qin said sarcastically.
Zhou Zun said: "Northern Liao is watching with eager eyes, but he only wants to check and balance Northern Xinjiang. The country, the country, and the country are not as powerful as him."
"Huang Chunhui is old, how can he rebel?" Zhou Qin sighed.
The sweetness of power makes people reluctant to give up and perverts them. This is the case with false emperors.
Zhou Zun asked: "How is Aning's pregnancy?"
"It's very good." Yang Xuan said, "I just know how to secretly read books or prepare medicine."
Zhou Qin frowned, "You have to be more careful."
"Nevermind." Yang Xuan smiled bitterly, "But I have a lot to do."
My daughter-in-law can't sit still, how can I force her to stay at home?
"Is there anyone to protect you?"
Zhou Qin asked this question out of nowhere.
Yang Xuan glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, Aweng."
Zhou Qin said: "You need to be good at it!"
Zhou Zun said: "Zitai is surrounded by dozens of big men, fighting in a rampant manner."
"A battle formation is a battle formation."
Zhou Qin shook his head.
Yang Xuan smiled and said: "Metaphysics is in Chenzhou."
Zhou Qin laughed and said, "I forgot about this."
When a group of people who like to talk get together, it will be lively if anyone comes to talk about wildfires.
"Can someone take action?" Zhou Zun was worried after all.
"have."
"How is your cultivation?"
"That's great! It's just that I happened to be at the Xinshan Gate of Metaphysics that day, and that person bumped in."
"how?"
"Suppressed by Ning Yayun."
The headmaster usually kept a low profile, but when he made a move, his power made Yang Xuan look at him sideways.
After drinking, Yang Xuan said goodbye.
After leaving Zhou's house, night fell and the heat gradually dissipated.
The night ban has long existed in name only, and there are many people on the street. The shops and stalls on both sides are doing brisk business, with people coming and going.
"This is peace and prosperity for the country and the people!" Tu Shang sighed with emotion.
But I don't know how long it will last.
If nothing changes, Yang Xuan knows that Datang will continue to decline, unable to hold it back.
The false emperor in the palace is still obsessed with checks and balances and cannot extricate himself. Yang Songcheng and others are still planning for the next emperor and doing everything possible to benefit their descendants.
Yang Xuan thought of those examples in history of people who devoted themselves to their descendants.
But most of the results are not good, either the person concerned is unlucky and ends up in the street, or the descendants starve to death with golden rice bowls.
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings!" he said sincerely.
Jiang Heer said: "Is Mr. Lang thinking about the unborn little Mr. Lang?"
Yang Xuan nodded, "I don't know how to teach him in the future."
Being a father for the first time, he was a little nervous and a little hopeful.
"Teach me how to practice!" Jiang He'er was very excited.
"What are you so excited about?" Yang Xuan was curious, "If you have a child, how will you teach him?"
"Teach him how to practice since he was a child, and when he is older..."
"Let him do chivalry and justice?" Yang Xuan said with a smile.
"No!" Jiang He'er shook his head, "Take him to do chivalry and justice."
"There will definitely be a bloody storm in the world."
Jiang Heer nodded, "Definitely."
It’s so good not to have you in the world!
Several officials loudly scolded a vendor in front, looking extremely arrogant.
Jiang He'er cursed: "Dog officer!"
"Ouch!" An official turned around slowly while covering the back of his head, then rolled his eyes and fell down.
"Brother Ma!" Several officials were in chaos.
"Who did this?" Yang Xuan turned around.
Everyone in the group is serious.
Damn it!
All learned badly!
"The attack was too harsh!" Yang Xuan said angrily: "What if the crime did not deserve death, but he was killed?"
Jiang He'er said: "All officials in the world should be killed!".
"Hey! He'er, your children will practice cultivation in the future?" the old thief teased her and asked.
"You don't have children!" Wang Laoer gave him a heavy punch.
"It will definitely happen in the future." The old thief was very confident, and then he touched his cheek, which had become rough recently, feeling heartbroken.
Jiang He'er shook his head, "Master said that the world is dangerous, so you just have to make a living. When you look back, you have to live a life. I just thought about it! When I have a child, teach him to practice since he was a child, and take him to travel with him. It's almost done.
Just go home and let him study, take the imperial examination, and become an official."
Everyone looked at her silently.
Jiang Heer: "What are you looking at me for? Did I say something wrong?"
Everyone shook their heads, "No."
Ahead, a group of young people appeared.
"Zitai!"
The crisp sound reminded Yang Xuan of birds.
"Ling'er?"
A group of young men and women are strolling over.
Wei Linger and Zhang Dongqing are both there.
Chen Zimao is also here.
There is also a long-lost acquaintance,
"Zitai!"
Wang Yu stepped forward and cupped his hands.
"New field."
The visitors are Wang Yu and Wang Xintian, sons of Wang Douluo, the head of the Wang family.
That is Wang Xianer's brother.
Wang Yu looked at him with a somewhat angry tone, "The family knows about the Beijiang ore matter. The manager took matters into his own hands, and the family has sent someone to scold him. But Zitai, you should change your temper, you are too irritable."
Wang Yu didn't wait for him to speak, then continued: "Recently, the Chunyu family has obtained some good ore, and the smelted iron tools are even better. We need a lot of ore to cope with the situation at home... So, please feel sorry for yourself for the time being, and I will naturally supply you with it later...
…”
This tone was reserved, as well as the calmness of a superior to a subordinate.
"I said..."
Yang Xuan spoke.
"This matter is over, go back and sit at home." Wang Yu smiled, "Aye and uncle said that you have become famous now and are a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. You should move around more."
Yang Xuan said: "No need."
Wang Yu: "..."
Yang Xuan nodded, then looked at his thigh, "Are Ling'er and Dongqing out to look for food?"
The word "foraging" made Wei Ling'er laugh, "Yes! I will write a poem tomorrow, but today we are out looking for inspiration."
Zhang Dongqing said: "Zitai, we will have a party tomorrow, do you want to come?"
Wei Ling'er came over and pulled Yang Xuan's sleeve, "You must come, otherwise I know where your home is and I will send people to make noise, and you will not be able to live in peace all night long."
"Ling'er is making a fool of himself!" Zhang Dongqing stepped forward and said with a smile: "How can this be done? The most I can do is block the door of his house early in the morning and drag him away."
"good!"
Yang Xuan reluctantly agreed.
"By the way, who is there?"
"There are quite a few, but they all have their own interests."
"Where?"
"Qujiang Pool."
It’s such a hot day, why not go to Qujiang Pool to bask in the sun?
Seeing Yang Xuan looking at the sky, Wei Ling'er said: "An expert said that there will be some clouds tomorrow and it won't be hot."
Yang Xuan responded with a smile.
"Gone."
"Zitai!"
Yang Xuan led the horse and had not taken a few steps when he was stopped by Wang Yu.
"What's the matter?"
Wang Yu asked: "This is a trivial matter."
Everyone was stunned.
Someone whispered: "It is said that Yang Xuan and the Wang family had a falling out."
"So now Nitta wants to save it?"
"Mostly."
"I have never seen Xintian lower his head. Yang Xuan should be proud of himself."
"yes!"
The moon is like water, and the lights on both sides reflect the avenue.
The night wind blew, causing Yang Xuan's clothes to flutter.
He nodded, "It's different!"
Immediately, he turned around and left.
Behind him, more than ten people gathered.
"This is a slap in the face!" someone whispered.
Wei Ling'er opened her small mouth, "How dare Zitai say something different to the Wang family?"
Zhang Dongqing beside him didn't answer. Wei Linger looked sideways and saw Zhang Dongqing looking at Yang Xuan's back blankly.
The complexion is reddish.
"Holly, are you stunned?"
Zhang Dongqing came back to his senses and said excitedly: "Those people have to think twice about what they say when they face the children of aristocratic families, for fear of offending them. But what you said just now is different. The trivial matters in your Wang family's eyes are not as important to me as Yang.
Xuan is a big deal. He is bold and uninhibited, free and natural...this is the Zitai in my heart!"
Wei Ling'er watched Yang Xuan disappear in the light, and suddenly felt empty in her heart.
…
Wang Yu had regained her composure, and was no different from before. She still went to have supper with everyone before going home.
"Where's Aye?"
The servant said: "Mr. Lang is in the study, with Mr. Erlang."
"knew."
Wang Yu said: "Bring some tea."
When the tea came, Wang Yu took a sip and rinsed her mouth. She felt that the smell of alcohol in her mouth had dissipated a lot, and then she went to the study.
"Arata!"
Wang Douxiang looked at his nephew with a smile.
"Aye, uncle."
Wang Douluo raised his eyes and said calmly: "It looks like you are in trouble."
"Haier met Yang Xuan earlier."
"Oh! How about it?"
"The boy said that the housekeeper has been scolded at home and the ore will be supplied to him later."
Wang Douluo looked at Wang Douxiang and asked, "What do you think?"
Wang Douxiang pondered for a long time, "I'm afraid it's not good."
"Why?" Wang Douluo saw the admiration in his son's eyes and knew the result was not good.
Wang Douxiang said: "When I returned from my inspection in southern Xinjiang, I met Yang Xuan in Yuanzhou. I saw that he was a foolish young man, so I asked him to follow him.
Outsiders say that I act ruthlessly. If they knew that I had shown kindness to a young man, they would probably think that I was crazy.
Unexpectedly, he was intercepted and killed on the way, and it was this young man who came to help and saved Xian'er."
Wang Douluo knew about this matter, and Wang Yu also knew about it, but I don't know why his uncle mentioned it.
"A country boy rescued Wang's daughter, he should be thinking about getting rewarded, right? I have already made preparations and thought about what he will want.
The most likely reason is that he wants to join the Wang family. With his contribution to saving Xian'er, he will have to be a manager in the future, right?
He has watched every aspect of Wang's management, which is no worse than that of a county magistrate.
When away from home, those county magistrates must also respond respectfully.
I have also thought about it, and plan to arrange for him to stay in the mines for a few years, and then arrange the qualifications, so I can finally repay Xian'er's life-saving grace.
But what does he want?"
Wang Douxiang looked at his brother, "He just wants to study!"
Wang Douluo said: "He doesn't like us in his heart?"
Wang Douxiang nodded, "When we first met, one of the guards deliberately wanted to whip him. I thought it was because of this that he was afraid of the aristocratic family. Now it seems that it is not fear, but dissatisfaction."
Wang Yu said: "He fell out with Mr. Wang just because of a trivial matter. He is so shameless!"
Wang Douxiang looked at him, "Does Mr. Wang have any kindness to him?"
Wang Yu said: "He enters..."
"Enter for what?" Wang Douxiang said lightly: "If you exchange Xian'er's life for him to enter the Imperial Academy, do you think he will make a profit or a loss?"
Wang Yu lowered his head.
Of course it's a loss.
Big loss.
"He doesn't owe Wang anything, on the contrary, Wang still owes him!" Wang Douxiang took a deep breath, "Later, he even gave Wang the smelting technique so that Wang could compete with Chunyu. .
For more than a year, Chunyu clan has been suppressed even more.
This smelting technique is so important to the Wang family! But what does the Wang family give in return? Just some ore at a low price every year.
Do you think he owes the Wang family?"
Wang Yu shook his head and suddenly thought, "Does he feel aggrieved?"
"You still don't understand!" Wang Douxiang frowned, "When he was recommended to the Imperial Academy, he suffered a loss, but what did he say?
He didn't say anything.
That young man is not someone who is willing to fight for every dollar. He doesn't care if he suffers a loss. What he cares about is that the Tao is different!"
Wang Douluo said: "If we have different ways, we will not conspire against each other."
Wang Douxiang sighed: "Brother, the family shouldn't be so dismissive of such young talents. That manager deserves to die!"
Wang Yu said: "Uncle, there are many generals in the Tang Dynasty. He ignored the Wang family, so naturally many people came to seek refuge. For example, Wei Zhong, the general of Youwuwei, deliberately said some polite words to Aye when he saw him last time. I want to make good friends with Mr. Wang.
Isn't General Youwuwei better than the governor of Chenzhou?"
A servant came in.
"Mr. Lang, Mr. Erlang, the Wei family, General Youwuwei, has sent people."
Wang Yu said with a smile: "Wei Ling'er is here today. I guess she went home and said that Wei Zhong is here to express his position."
A steward came in.
salute.
Open your mouth.
"My Alang heard that Yang Xuan had a dispute with the young man of your house, so he sent a servant to ask, but has Yang Xuan offended the Wang family?"
Wang Douxiang shook his head slightly.
The steward said: "Alang said, if Yang Xuan has offended the Wang family, please forgive me. If something is wrong and any damage is caused, Alang said that the Wei family will bear it."
