Three hundred and ninetieth chapters public heart and ambition
The lively banquet lasted until the afternoon, and people started to leave after enjoying themselves. Some of the guests might have had dinner at General Wei's Mansion before leaving, but the female guests could not wait until dark.
Yang Huiyu and others left earlier. The women were not satisfied and went to the Wu family's residence to make tea and chat.
The Wu family has a smaller population. The Chou Hou Wu Zhi has passed away, and the only owners here are Mrs. Wu and her two siblings. Compared to the larger Yang family, the Guo family, and Mrs. Wu's place, this place is indeed quieter and more comfortable.
What's more, Mrs. Wu's brother has not come back yet, and has also gone to General Wei's mansion to attend the celebration banquet. The three women were chatting in the attic of the front hall of Wu's house, and they were very relaxed without being supervised.
Mrs. Zhen, who was wearing gorgeous makeup, wanted to look for a bronze mirror to check whether the makeup on her face was stained. Mrs. Wu asked the maid to take her to the room next to the front hall.
That room was the place where Yang Huiyu took refuge last time. At that time, she was hiding behind a shelf and heard something she shouldn't have heard. Yang Huiyu watched Mrs. Zhen go and felt a kind of panic in her heart, and she also felt quite hot.
, probably because of the hot weather and drinking.
Wu's voice whispered: "I don't know how many people Mrs. Zhen has had an affair with. A merchant in the big market once confessed that while they were buying silk, Mrs. Zhen and the merchant hid in the hut and made a hasty move.
Kind of something."
Yang Huiyu was a little distracted. When he heard Wu's voice, he thought of her another voice that sounded like pain.
After a while, Yang Huiyu came back to his senses and roughly understood what Wu said. Yang Huiyu had never had any contact with Zhen before, only Mrs. Wu knew Zhen; but Yang Huiyu also noticed that Wu
The relationship between the Zhen family and the Zhen family is far worse than the close relationship with Yang Huiyu.
Yang Huiyu didn't think much and responded: "Mrs. Zhen is not from the Empress Dowager Guo's family? Given her status, it is impossible?"
Wu said, "Anyway, it's all recorded in Tingwei's file. Many people know that her reputation is like that."
When Yang Huiyu heard this, her cheeks suddenly felt a little hot. Because Xu Yun's confession related to her also appeared in Tingwei's file. Although it was deleted in the end, he didn't know if it would be passed on.
come out.
She felt a little irritable for a moment. She couldn't help but whisper: "Some rumors are not credible. With Mrs. Zhen's status, even if she really has an affair, she should find a reliable person."
Zhen is not only a good wife, but also a noble lady. Why should she let herself be looked down upon by others? No one in the world, no matter the nobles or common people, would agree with a dissolute woman. That’s why Yang Huiyu judged that the rumors about Zhen were
It doesn't quite seem real.
Mrs. Wu thought for a while and said, "Sister, what you said makes sense."
At this time, Yang Huiyu thought of Qin Zhongming again. She had hesitated to say anything before at General Wei's Mansion. She originally wanted to thank Qin Liang. The thing she wanted to thank was that Qin Liang tried to restore her reputation at Tingwei's Mansion last year.
.Only because she felt embarrassed, she gave up and did not say anything.
A woman probably only thinks about that kind of thing when she feels at ease. Qin Liang did give her a sense of trust. And Yang Huiyu could also feel that Qin Liang was thinking about her. This feeling
There will be a subtle warmth.
It was the first time that Yang Huiyu experienced this kind of intimate feeling of not being relatives but thinking about each other.
When bidding farewell to General Wei's residence, Qin Liang also mentioned the grace of saving his life. Yang Huiyu was unwilling to admit such a great kindness, but Qin Liang's gratitude made her feel that their relationship was better... Yang Huiyu
Yu has long since lost the humiliation of being coerced by power, and her original resentment has also faded a lot. She is no longer in a disadvantageous position and has to trade her body for rescue.
In a daze, Yang Huiyu also remembered the scene when she was sitting astride Qin Liang's arms during the snowy season last year. Although she was wearing clothes, her posture at that time was indeed unbearable, and she could clearly remember Qin Zhongming's appearance. At this time
She subconsciously pressed her slender crotches together, feeling a little uncomfortable and feeling confused in her heart.
Things are really a bit messy. Yang Huiyu is different from the widow Zhen and the deposed Wu. She has the status of a married woman. Her husband Sima Shi is not in Luoyang, but he is still alive. Moreover, she has married into the Sima family.
As a woman, Qin Liang should be the enemy of her family.
"Rumble..." A burst of muffled thunder woke Yang Huiyu up. She looked towards the open door and found that the light had dimmed.
Yang Huiyu said casually: "What time is it? Is it getting dark soon?"
Wu said: "It's probably still early. It looks like it's going to rain."
There were clouds in the sky early this morning. When I was at General Wei's mansion, I could still see the sun's rays, but the sun was moving through the clouds and was not very bright. Coupled with the sultry weather, it seemed like there was going to be a heavy rain.
At this time, Mrs. Zhen walked out of the room next to her. Yang Huiyu was the first to leave, wanting to rush home before the heavy rain came down.
Yang Huiyu came by carriage, but the weather was too hot and her carriage had no felt roof, only wood. If it rained too much, it would leak.
The Wu family's residence was already in Xicheng, not too far from the Yang family. Yang Huiyu took a car back and arrived home not long after.
Sure enough, not long after Yang Huiyu arrived home, lightning flashed in the sky, and a heavy rain suddenly began. The rain was very heavy, and the dense raindrops as big as peas hit the roof with a crisp and clear "ding, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong" sound. Yang Huiyu was still very happy.
I had the foresight to realize that if I stayed longer at the Wu family residence, I would have to wet my clothes on the way.
His younger brother Yang Hu also returned home. When Yang Huiyu went to visit his mother, he saw his younger brother beside her mother.
My mother, Mrs. Cai, was very old and in poor health. She was hunched over the desk. She would get closer, then take the bamboo slips to a distance and try, muttering: "I can't see clearly."
Yang Hu stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his mother's temples, eye sockets and other places, and said kindly: "It takes a lot of energy to read the words, so my mother should read less to rest her mind."
Compared with those gentry children who follow Wushisan and like metaphysics, Yang Hu is still a person who abides by Confucian ethics, and there are no omissions in filial piety and the like.
My mother-in-law Cai's family name is Zhenji. Her reputation is also very good, and she is indeed worthy of the name Zhen; she is just not as famous as her sister. My mother's biological sister, Yang Huiyu's aunt, is Cai Wenji.
Yang Huiyu stepped forward and said, "I'll do it."
My mother, Cai Zhenji, looked back. Her eyesight was not good, but she could still recognize people and said, "Huiyu is here too."
After a while, Cai Zhenji murmured: "Brother Ru is back?"
Yang Hu said: "Brother (Yangfa) is working as a guard in Huaibei. He has official business and is far away from Luoyang. He won't be able to come back for a while."
Cai Zhenji said: "Where is your second brother?"
Grandma seems to be a little confused, and she sometimes becomes like this. Yang Hu's second brother has died long ago, because so many years have passed, and Yang Huiyu and others usually can't remember that there is another second brother. On the contrary
It was my confused grandma who always remembered.
The siblings stayed with their mother for a long time, and the maid came to wait on them. Then they walked out of the room and went to the eaves outside to watch the rain. Heavy rains tend not to stay heavy all the time, but now they gradually became lighter, but the tile roof
The accumulation of water on the roof has become a trend, flowing down along the eaves, and the accumulation of water on the ground is like a stream, giving people the illusion that it is still raining heavily.
Yang Hu turned around and said: "By the way, I just received brother's letter from home a few days ago. I will show it to my sister later. But there is no need to tell grandma."
Yang Huiyu said: "What?"
The younger brother Yang Hu said: "Brother said in the letter that he is not in good health, and I am afraid that my mother will be worried after reading it." After a while, the younger brother sighed and continued, "If my brother resigns again, the Yang family will have some vague plans."
The family is in trouble."
My brother is only in his twenties. He has always been a free and easy-going person, but his mood today seems to be different from usual.
Yang Huiyu said softly: "No."
The younger brother mused: "The Xiahou family may also encounter something. The last time I saw Xiahou Taichu, he himself said that it was time to prepare to die."
Yang Huiyu opened his mouth slightly, and finally said carefully: "General Wei is young and promising, and his power is growing day by day. Doesn't he admire my brother's talents very much?"
"Yes." Yang Hu nodded, "The Yang family has held two thousand stone officials for several generations. At first, I thought Qin Zhongming took a fancy to our family. After getting along many times, I felt that he really valued me. I never
It’s a bit strange to have done anything big.”
He turned around and said, "Qin Zhongming also invited me today to become a Zhonglang."
Among the officials subordinate to General Wei's Mansion, the largest ones are Chang Shi and Sima. In addition, those who work as Zhonglang also have a relatively high status. If you take the path of a powerful minister in your official career and then become an official in the court, you will of course be highly recommended; plus
Given the family status of the Yang family, if Yang Hu works as a vassal in General Wei's mansion, he will be promoted very quickly.
That's why Yang Huiyu said before that it's not a problem. As long as the younger brother wants to make progress, he doesn't need to sigh so much.
Yang Huiyu asked: "Did I agree?"
My brother said, "I didn't refuse, I just said I would consider it for a few days."
After a while, he sighed again: "I originally wanted to stay in power and do things with a public heart. I didn't want to cling to the powerful. I'm afraid I won't be able to persist in this ambition."

Yang Huiyu remained silent. She remembered her ambition and her intention to live a peaceful life.
But now that this topic was brought up, she originally wanted to give her brother a few words of advice. But when she heard his words, she felt that it was unnecessary, so she said no more.
Yang Huiyu thought, his younger brother has always been a very resourceful person. If he hadn't judged that he had a future with Qin Zhongming, how could he be willing to go against his own will? But his younger brother just sighed, as if he was reluctant. Younger brother Yang Hu still felt that
, Qin Zhongming, who has defeated many enemies, is young, capable, and sincere to others, so he is a capable leader?
But Yang Huiyu noticed her own mentality and suddenly felt a little ashamed. She thought of the Yang family's reputation and thought that she really never wanted to discredit the family.
Yang Huiyu also sighed lightly. Hearing the voice, his younger brother glanced sideways at Yang Huiyu. He observed it for a moment, but could not guess Yang Huiyu's mood.
