Even ordinary people felt that the war was coming, and everyone was reluctant to spend money. They held every copper coin tightly, and the children's New Year's clothes were no longer bought. The Lanterns of the Spring Festival also found out last year's old goods and food on the table.
It is not as rich as in previous years, and the offerings that have caused our ancestors are fewer than in previous years.
Today is the 20th day of the first lunar month. Emperor Yang Guang has not returned from his inspection tour in Jiangdu. The capital is particularly quiet, and pedestrians are sparse on the streets. The atmosphere of the Shangyuan Festival has completely subsided. The rumors about war in the capital are getting stronger and stronger.
Many families dare not go out. Although this was a battle in Liaodong, the unusual preparations for war between the emperor and the court made everyone feel the illusion that the war was about to break out around them.
Chongyefang is also quiet. Several carriages were parked in front of Yang Mansion. Yang Yuanqing's mansion was slightly different from before. The main change was that there was an additional military camp on the left, with 500 soldiers stationed. This was the Great Sui Dynasty.
Measures taken to protect the families of important officials on the frontier and protect the safety of their families, but at the same time they are also a kind of surveillance.
In addition to this military camp, Yang Yuanqing's mansion also has twenty personal soldiers with high martial arts skills patrol at night.
Although the Yang Mansion is also very quiet, after the New Year, Yang Yuanqing's mansion is a little more nervous than other people's houses. Calculate the time, the mistress Min Qiu should give birth in January. According to the judging by an experienced midwife, Min Qiu's belly
The child in the room is most likely a boy.
This was Yang Yuanqing's first son. Not only was the whole mansion nervous, but even the Pei mansion became nervous. Pei Minqiu's aunt Pei Hanyu and mother Wang all moved into the Yang family.
In the back house, Pei Minqiu leaned against a soft mattress and was chatting with her mother Wang and her aunt Pei Hanyu. She had already given birth to a daughter, so she was not afraid of having a second child. She could feel the child in her stomach.
The movement inside was all right, making her feel very calm.
"Auntie, didn't you say Sister You have already promised it to the Guo family? Why is it so ugly again?"
"Hey! It's not enough, but the parents of both sides sat down and talked, and in the end the Guo family refused the marriage."
"Why? Is it because Sister You has a married name?"
"It's not entirely true, because Mr. Guo happened to die a few days ago, so the Guo family didn't want to mention the marriage. Of course, Mr. Guo's mother did feel a little bit like You'er was the Wang family's daughter-in-law."
"Hmph! I feel a little wronged when I marry the Guo family,
Pei Minqiu said a little unhappy: "That Guo Ping is idle all day long and is messing around with a group of powerful children. I even heard of his reputation. (Free download of full text e-book)"
Pei Hanyu smiled bitterly and said, "I found that it was really difficult for You'er to get married. She wanted to get married better. People thought she was a widow and she didn't want to marry her. She didn't want to marry someone who lost her wife.
Even if it's so high or low, her father can't do anything to her."
At this time, Pei Minqiu suddenly felt a little painful in her stomach and frowned. Her mother, Wang, was careful and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her daughter's hand and asked, "Minqiu, are you going to give birth?"
Pei Minqiu was so painful that her eyebrows were tugging into a ball. The severe pain from her lower abdomen made her feel that the child was about to be born. Her face was pale and her head was sweating. She said tremblingly: "It seems... the little enemy wants it.
Come out!"
"Hurry! Go and call the midwife!"
Two maids ran out, Pei Hanyu went to arrange the hot water, Chu Chen and Green Tea also ran in after hearing the news, supported Minqiu, and ordered people to find the lying yu. The whole Pei Mansion was in chaos...
At noon, a loud cry came from the room, and then the midwife immediately congratulated her, "Congratulations to Madam, it's a young man!"
In the first month of the seventh year of Daye, Yang Yuanqing's first son was born. The news spread throughout the capital. Some people were happy and some were jealous. The officials and wives came to congratulate him in a constant stream. They took their busy schedules but did not forget the most important thing.
She immediately arranged for a personal soldier to rush to Fengzhou to report the good news to Yang Yuanqing.
...........
The news that Yang Yuanqing had a son was also spread to the Yang Mansion. The head of the family, Yang Xuangan, went to Jiangnan with the Shenggui to inspect the family, and the family's external affairs were all under the responsibility of the clan's brother Yang Xuanting.
The Yang Mansion's house in the capital is located in Shangshanfang, covering an area of about 120 acres, the same area as the capital's house. This is a Feng Shui treasure left to the Yang family when Yang Su built the new capital.
House is also the fourth largest house in the entire capital, second only to King Qi’s house, King Jin’s house and Princess Leping’s house.
If we only talk about area, this is not a problem. The Yang family did not exceed the rules, but when compared with other people's houses, the problem arises. The area of Luoyang is smaller than that of Chang'an, so the wealthy and powerful Beijing houses are common in various families.
Smaller than Chang'an.
Originally, the Yang family's mansion in Chang'an could rank among the top ten, but now other people's houses are getting smaller, but it remains unchanged. This makes the Yang family stand out. If Yang Su is alive, the problem may not be big, but Yang
After Su's death, the Yang family's status declined rapidly, but it still occupies a residential land larger than the royal family, especially in a Fengshui treasure land known as Shangshanfang, the first fang in the capital. This is also the dissatisfaction of the Emperor Yang Guang with the Yang family.
One reason.
In the Yang Mansion, Yang Xuanting walked through an alley and came to the back house, preparing to report to Mrs. Zheng about Yang Yuanqing's son. Yang Xuanting was extremely dissatisfied with Mrs. Zheng. If it weren't for Yang Yuanqing's incident, he wouldn't have stepped into the elder brother's yard.
.
Now most of the Yang family members do not like Mrs. Zheng. Everyone could not understand it before, but when Mrs. Zheng took over the financial power, everyone was gradually angry with what she did. If it was just biased, the room would be more divided.
, the smaller the amount of that room may be just a complaint.
However, without the consent of his clan, Mrs. Zheng gave some precious things in the Yang family to outsiders, and even her parents' home. Someone saw with his own eyes a picture of Gu Kaizhi's "Making a Qin" hanging in the Zheng family's study, and Zheng Shanguo did not hide it.
This is the original work, but the original work of this painting was seized from the Southern Chen Palace in the tenth year of Kaihuang. The late emperor gave it to the head of the family Yang Su, and it has been kept in Yang Su's study, but now it has run to the Zheng family.
Everyone knew in their hearts that this must be Mrs. Zheng's private place for her parents' home, which made the Yang family angry and unanimously asked the head of the family to change the person in charge of financial power. However, Yang Xuangan had no time to deal with this matter because of the busy court, so he delayed it again and again.
This year, the New Year's Clan meeting was about to discuss this matter, but Yang Xuangan went to the southern tour with the emperor. There was no conclusion on changing the wealth-holding person. Everyone was extremely disappointed with Yang Xuangan, which caused Yang Xuangan's reputation in the clan to suffer major setbacks.
Another reason why Yang Xuanting was disgusted with Mrs. Zheng was that Mrs. Zheng provoked the confrontation between the Yang family's legitimate and illegitimate.
When he was in charge of the Yang family's financial power, he abides by the family rules of the 46% of the illegitimate and illegitimate family. Two days before the 1000 yuan, the family had to distribute money and grain once every year. This is the annual rule and is a very important income for each house.
Generally, the clan association first decides a total amount, and then allocates it according to the four or six legitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate ill
The legitimate family protected his financial power and changed the standard without authorization, which was changed to three to seven points of the legitimate and illegitimate.
This made the income of the common houses who had too many monks and little porridge even more meager. More than a hundred common houses who were treated unfairly were extremely dissatisfied. They did not buy the common houses and did not appreciate the legitimate houses. The Yang family was full of hostility this month.
Emotions, the whole New Year atmosphere was destroyed.
More than twenty days have passed since this incident, and the common house has not started. The main reason is that no one is willing to take the lead. Everyone is counting on the head of the family to come back to deal with it. The situation has gradually subsided. At this time, Yang Xuan heard the news from the head of the family yard from a distance.
There was a burst of shouts and the crowds were filled with noises. He was shocked. What happened?
Yang Xuangan's main courtyard is located in the middle of Yang Mansion. It is a heavy courtyard covering an area of eight acres. The large courtyard is surrounded by a small courtyard and a garden. His two sons each own a courtyard.
At this time, hundreds of young Yang family children gathered in the outer courtyard of the main courtyard, all of whom were the Yang family. Under the leadership of Yang Wei, they were angry and protested in the main courtyard, demanding that Mrs. Zheng repaid the money and food in the common house.
.
Yang Wei has not returned to Fengzhou yet, because Wang Yang Xiong followed the emperor to the south and had not returned to Beijing yet, but Yang Wei has not waited foolishly in the capital. He took his wife and children to Shuzhong with his parents to congratulate his grandfather on his 60th birthday.
He returned to the capital the day before yesterday, and as soon as he entered the Yang Mansion, he heard about the unfair distribution of legitimate and illegitimate children.
Yang Wei has been the leader of the grandson since he was a child. In the past two years, he has become the general of Yingyang Lang and commanded thousands of people. He has also developed a call ability. In addition, he is firm and upright, so he will never tolerate such unfair things happening.
.
He immediately stepped forward and led more than 100 young grandsons to the head of the house to cause trouble, forcing Mrs. Zheng to make concessions.
In the courtyard of the head of the family, Yang Wei was full of armor and holding his 120-pound eight-sided hammer in his hand, as if he was going to fight on the battlefield. Behind him, more than a hundred third-generation grandsons all had the eyes of them.
Full of anger, holding the clan flag and wooden stick in his hand, the crowd was filled with emotions, and kept shouting loudly.
"Repay our money and food!"
"The head of the family changed people!"
"Get out of the Zheng family!"
.........
The conflict between legitimate and illegitimate illegitimate that the Yang family has accumulated over the past decade finally broke out at this moment.
Yang Xuanting was furious and rushed into the yard to angrily scold Yang Wei: "Sanlang, what are you doing? This is the head of the house. Are you going to commit the crime?"
Yang Wei hardened his neck and said in confrontation: "Uncle San, since the head of the family has broken the rules, we must also establish new rules. We require equality between legitimate and illegitimate households. Each household has the same monthly and annual rules as the legitimate households.
, Can you agree?”
"Nothing! You guys are so stupid, let me go back."
"Don't go back!"
More than a hundred chaotic grandsons yelled together, their anger was boiling, and some even swung wooden sticks to beat Yang Xuanting. Yang Xuanting ran out of the yard in fear. He felt that the situation was serious and immediately ran to find other legitimate sons to discuss countermeasures.
Yang Wei waved his hand and more than a hundred grandsons suddenly calmed down. He whispered loudly: "Some people don't follow the rules, but we follow the rules, we don't beat the elders, and we don't hurt others, but this time we have to fight to the end.
, Everyone listen to me. If the legitimate and illegitimate are not equal, we will not give up!"
"I will never give up!"
The roar was like thunder, echoing over Yang's mansion.
