Chapter Thirteen Wanchun Tea House

In the Jin Palace, Yang Yuanqing sat silently behind the small table to drink. Yang Zhao poured him a glass of wine and asked with a smile: "Do you feel a little uncomfortable being removed from the Yang family?"

Yang Yuanqing shook his head without answering his words, and drank the wine in the glass. Yang Zhao poured him another glass, stared into his eyes and asked, "Do you feel guilty for your grandfather?"

Yang Yuanqing nodded gently. He would never regret leaving the Yang family, but he felt ashamed of his grandfather. This was the only guilt he felt when he left the Yang family. He felt a little sorry for his grandfather. His grandfather trained him since he was a child to shelter him from the wind and rain, just to allow him to grow into the pillar of the Yang family. But in the end he betrayed the Yang family. I wonder how sad his grandfather should be when he knew it.

"But, it's not that you betrayed the Yang family tonight, but that the Yang family removed you from the household registration. The responsibility is not on you, but on them."

Yang Yuanqing also poured Yang Zhao a glass of wine. He picked up his glass and stared at the amber wine in the glass. After a while, he said lightly: "My grandfather is very smart. I deliberately angered the Yang family tonight. I can't hide it from him. He will know that I want to leave the Yang family."

"But... why do you want to leave the Yang family? Everyone is afraid of leaving the family, but you are different. If the news spreads today, it will definitely shock the world. Yuan Qing, do you hate your family so much?"

"Is there a little bit! Your Highness, do you know that I am actually an illegitimate child?"

Yang Zhao was stunned. He looked at Yang Yuanqing in disbelief, "Aren't you a concubine's son?"

Yang Yuanqing smiled bitterly, "My father only has one wife and one concubine. His concubine only gave birth to one daughter. Where did I, the concubine son, come from? My biological mother is the daughter of a wealthy family in Yingzhou. Because she admired my father, she was willing to be his concubine, but the Yang family never recognized her status. When I was two years old, my mother died of illness. She did not get recognized by the Yang family until she died. It was not until I entered the Yang Mansion that my grandfather was later renamed as a concubine son."

"Your grandfather, you are the head of the family. As long as he admits that you are a concubine's son and your surname is Yang, then you are not an illegitimate son. Yuan Qing, these are two different things."

Yang Yuanqing sighed long, "Although my grandfather admitted that I was a illegitimate son, I know that everyone in the Yang family always regarded me as an illegitimate son. I have looked down on me from the bottom of my heart since I was a child. The lowest side house in the Yang family costs ten yuan a month, but I only have three yuan a hangovers, which is not as good as a servant. But everyone thinks it is normal, because they regard me as an illegitimate son, and in the end they are so poor that they can't afford to eat, they have to hunt and support their family. I was only eight years old at that time, so when I got a piece of land, the Yang family was boiling, and I poked a big hornet's nest."

Although many years have passed, when Yang Yuanqing thought that he had only three slaughter money since childhood, and when the clan members of his tribe discriminated against him since he was a child, he still had a kind of hatred in his heart. The hatred for the Yang family, he would never forget that humiliating life deep in his heart.

Yang Zhao suddenly understood a little. Yang Yuanqing's idea of ​​betraying the Yang family may have been since childhood, and this time it was just a big outbreak of conflicts.

When Yang Zhao heard that Yang Yuanqing was expelled from the Yang family, he felt a little guilty. He always felt that Yang Yuanqing offended the Queen of Qi because he offended the King of Qi, and was finally disobeyed by the Yang family and expelled him. Yang Zhao was responsible. Now he understood that the ice was three feet long, and it was not a day since the conflict between Yang Yuanqing and the Yang family had already planted seeds from the day he entered the Yang Mansion.

Yang Zhao patted his shoulder and comforted him, "When your grandfather comes back, you will return to the family, and he will not let them mess around."

"impossible!"

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "I, Yang Yuanqing, are not dough, I can let them knead it. My grandfather is still my grandfather, but the Yang family has nothing to do with me. Your Highness, tomorrow I want to go to Yingzhou and visit my biological mother's grave."

"It should be, but can you go a few days later?"

"Is there anything wrong with your Highness?"

Yang Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "I want you to help me investigate who assassinated me?"

"Didn't your Highness think about that?"

Yang Zhao shook his head, "I thought it was done by the King of Qi, but this morning he came to my mansion to apologize. I told him that I was assassinated. He was surprised. He repeatedly swears that it was not what he did."

"Does Your Highness believe him?"

"He is my brother after all, I know him, and I know it is definitely not what he does."

Yang Zhao snorted coldly, "This must be because someone wants to take advantage of the situation and provokes an internal fight to assassinate me. I must know who did it."

The arrow with the wild duck feather appeared in Yang Yuanqing's mind again.

"Your Highness, this matter is difficult, I can only do my best."

"I know, without evidence, it is difficult to verify. If I can't find it, I will never blame you."

















The next morning, Yang Yuanqing took things from Qin Qiong and went directly to the city. Soon after, he came to Wanchun Tea House. This was his second time. The night before yesterday, he sent Niu Niu back to the tea house.

The entrance of the tea shop was deserted and there were almost no customers. Yang Yuanqing found that the shopkeepers here seemed a little unemployed. In general, whenever they walked to the door, the shopkeepers would definitely come out, greeted them with a smile, and introduced them diligently, hoping to start a business, but the shopkeepers ignored him at all, and were lazy and unconscious.

There was not Yang Yuanqing at the door, and there was another person standing, wearing a white Confucian robe and a veil hat. Looking at his back, Yang Yuanqing felt a little familiar. He stepped forward two steps, walked to the side of the man, and suddenly recognized him.

"Brother Xiao!"

The man was stunned, looked back at Yuan Qing, recognized him, and laughed, "So it's you!"

This man was the scholar who sold Yang Yuanqing's emerald bracelet a few days ago at Baibaozhai. He was holding his daughter at the time, but now his daughter is not by his side.

Yang Yuanqing stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Brother Xiao, are you buying tea? Where is Ling Yan? Why aren't you around?"

"I'm here to find someone. The little girl is in the inn. She is a little uncomfortable today and she didn't bring it out."

The man looked at Yang Yuanqing again and saw that he had changed into a brocade robe and a golden crown on his head. He was completely different from the old military uniform that day, and he was full of energy. "Does Brother Yang buy tea?"

"No, I'm here to find someone."

"That's a coincidence."

The two of them laughed together, and Yang Yuanqing smiled again, "My surname is Yang Yuanqing, I don't know the name of Brother Xiao, can I give you advice?"

"Oh! It turns out that you are Yang Yuanqing, who has an unparalleled archery technique. He has been famous for a long time."

The man bowed to him and smiled, "I am Xiao Xian in Xiajiangling."

"So it was the descendant of Xiliang, I have long admired him!"

Xiao Xian shook his head, "The Western Liang Dynasty has passed, so there is no need to mention it. I have just been appointed as the magistrate of Luo County today. Brother Yang Xian is free and must go to Luo County as a guest."

"I will definitely go if I have the chance."

Yang Yuanqing was a little unhappy when he saw them talking for a long time, and the guy who was dozing off at the door ignored him.

"Hello!"

He raised his voice and shouted, the guy was awakened, he slowly raised his head and looked at Yang Yuanqing blankly.

"Sorry! Let Mr. Xiao wait." At this time, Yuan Sizu, the owner of Wanchun Tea House, walked out quickly and bowed his hand to apologize to Xiao Xian.

Xiao Xian smiled slightly, "No, I just waited for a while."

Yuan Sizu looked at Yang Yuanqing again, clasped his fists and said, "Do you want to buy tea?"

Yang Yuanqing bowed and bowed, "I'm looking for Zhang Chuchen. My surname is Yang, and I'm her eldest brother."

"Brother Yuanqing!"

A crisp sound came from the store, and then Niu Niu ran out like a swallow, her face full of smiles blooming like a lotus.

"I've been waiting for you!"

When Yang Yuanqing saw Niu Niu's smile, the discomfort in the family was immediately wiped out last night and his mood became happy.

"Niu Niu, will you leave now?"

Today they made an appointment to go to Qujiangchi to take a tour of autumn. Yang Yuanqing wanted to take Niu Niu to see where he practiced swords when he was a child.

"Brother Yuanqing, come here."

Niu Niu pulled Yuan Qing aside and said with a disgust: "Today my grandmother is going to visit her old friend, I must accompany her. Brother Yuan Qing, let's go to Qujiangchi tomorrow!"

"No problem, are you going to meet your grandma?" Yang Yuanqing said with a smile.

"OK!"

Niu Niu was extremely happy. She thought Yang Yuanqing would not see her grandma, so she pulled Yang Yuanqing away, "Come with me!"

Yang Yuanqing followed her to the back door from the alley next to her. Yuan Sizu stood on the steps and looked at Yang Yuanqing's back, thinking, "Can this person be the Yang Yuanqing that Zhang Zhongjian mentioned?"















In the room, Chen Yinzheng and military advisor Wang Mo were whispering something, and Chen Yin was a little confused.

"Does Xiao Xian feel that this person is reliable? He is a descendant of the Liang Dynasty. Will he be loyal to us Chen Chao?"

Wang Mo stroked his beard and smiled, "This person was recommended by Xiao Moke during his lifetime. There should be no big problem. He already knew that Nanhua would exist. If he was really hostile to the Chen Dynasty, he should report it to the court, but he did not, at least he was not hostile to us."

Chen Yin sighed, "But I always feel awkward to do a major event with the Xiao family."

"Isn't Xiao Moke also a member of the Xiao family?"

Wang Mo tactfully advised him: "Whether it is Chen Chao or Xiliang, there are common enemies. I think in order to deal with common enemies, both sides should give up their past grudges and relax their minds. Moreover, Xiao Xian's aunt is Empress Xiao, who is very valuable and the leader's vision should be taken longer."

Chen Yin was silent for a long time and finally nodded, "Sir, you must make use of all those who can make use of it."

At this time, Yuan Sizu walked to the door and said, "Master, he is here!"

"Please come in!"

After a moment, Xiao Xian walked into the room quickly. He knelt down on his knees and kowtowed three times to Chen Yin, "My minister Xiao Xian bowed to the crown prince!"

Chen Yin had a very strange feeling in his heart. Xiao Xian was obviously a descendant of the Liang Dynasty, but he kowtowed to him, the prince of Chen Dynasty, and he was a little confused.

Wang Mo poked him gently, Chen Yin understood and immediately stepped forward to help Xiao Xian up, "I dare not! I dare not! Mr. Xiao is a nobleman of the Liang Dynasty, how dare I accept Mr. Xiao's great gift."

Seeing that Xiao Xian was tall and had big ears, fair skin, and although he was handsome, he was a weak scholar. Chen Yin's defense was a little relaxed. The scholar rebelled for ten years and failed. He didn't have to take such a weak scholar too much.
