Chapter 41: The Yang Family's Invitation

Chapter 41: Yang Family's Request

Yang Yuanqing's hand was actually a crystal clear snowball. Bingbingbing was cold and emitting a slight air conditioning. Bing'er's eyes lit up, and he quickly crawled over, reached out to grab it, and a tender voice shouted: "Give it to Bing'er!"

But the hands of the monk were faster. He reached out and took the snow ball away from Yang Yuanqing's hand, threw it aside, and complained to Yang Yuanqing, "You can't play with such a cold thing!"

When Bing'er saw her mother throwing the snow ball, she grinned and burst into tears. Yang Yuanqing hurriedly hugged her daughter in her arms and coaxed her, "Dad, pinch Bing'er another one."

Pei Minqiu sighed helplessly and said to Yang Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, she is only one year old after all, and she is still young. Don't play with these ice and snow for her. Once she gets sick, it will be amazing."

"What does this matter? Didn't I just play with it when I was one or two years old?"

Yang Yuanqing was a little dissatisfied and said to Chuchen: "When you were two years old, you were running barefoot in the snow, and you didn't see you sick. I didn't take her out to play, so I can't play in the house with a snow ball. I don't want my daughter to become so spoiled."

Yang Yuanqing put Bing'er on the bed with a little anger, then went out to pinch a small snow ball and came in, and handed it to his daughter, "Dad to play with you!"

Pei Minqiu and Chuchen looked at each other, and both smiled bitterly and shook their heads. Both of them understood Yang Yuanqing's temper. Once the awesome spirit came up, no one could do anything to him.

Bing'er took the snow ball and burst into tears and started playing. She laughed and threw her little hand. The snow ball hit Yang Yuanqing's nose and suddenly broke. She clapped her palms and giggled. When the people in the room saw that there were snow spots piled on Yang Yuanqing's nose and looked embarrassed, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and laughed.

Yang Yuanqing was amused and crying. He wiped the snow off the tip of his nose, picked up his daughter, and poked her neck with a hard stubble, "You little naughty, dare you to tease your father, let you know how powerful your father is!"

Bing'er was afraid of itchyness, her neck curled up, and she screamed in joy.

At this time, the housekeeper appeared at the door. Seeing the master playing with his daughter, she wanted to speak but stopped. Pei Minqiu glanced at him and walked out and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Madam, it's someone from Yang's house, and there are still letters to pay a visit."

Pei Minqiu received the call and was startled, which read "Yiyang Prefect Yang Xuan Prize". This was Yuan Qing's second uncle who came. She glanced at Yang Yuanqing and whispered to him: "Yuan Qing!"

Yang Yuanqing put down his daughter and walked out to ask, "What's the matter?"

"Your second uncle is here, waiting in the guest hall." Pei Minqiu handed him the greeting post.

Yang Yuanqing took the call, and the Yang family came to him as he expected. He nodded, "I'll go see him!"

"Husband, do you want me to accompany you?"

"Need not!"

Yang Yuanqing pointed to the house, meaning that she would accompany Zhuchen's mother and daughter. He was about to go out, but he seemed to think of something again, so he reached out and pulled Minqiu into the yard.

Seeing that her husband was about to say something to her, Minqiu couldn't help but smile and said, "Husband, what's the matter?"

Yang Yuanqing approached her ear, but smiled and kissed her gently on the face, turned around and walked quickly.

"You're simply... nonsense!"

Minqiu scolded him coquettishly, but could not hide the joy in her eyes. Her husband did not neglect her because of the arrival of the world. The trace of loss that arose in his heart just now disappeared with Yang Yuanqing's kiss.

Pei Minqiu walked back to the house, Chuchen was holding Bing'er in his arms and asked, "Do you have any guests in Yuanqing?"

"It's his second uncle and the Yang family."

Pei Minqiu sighed, "I have never seen such a cold family affection. My father, mother, brother, and uncle are all there, but it's like a stranger. I have never entered the Yang Mansion until now, let alone the Yang family."

Chuchen sneered, "This is not surprising. The Yang family values ​​legitimate over illegitimate, and cannot tolerate Yuan Qing. He also has the so-called righteous mother, who is vicious and has wanted to starve Yuan Qing to death since childhood. Why did Yuan Qing join the army at the age of ten? After all, he was forced by the Yang family. I saw through this family, mediocre, jealous of virtuousness, and ignorant of enterprising spirits, and do not know how to make progress. They live in the halo of ancestors all day. Now that Yuan Qing is a high-ranking official, they come to pull him back, but why did they become so decisive when they drove people? Such a family will only be disgusting!"

Pei Minqiu was stunned. From Chuchen's tone, she heard a deep resentment from Chuchen's family. After a moment of silence, she asked carefully: "Do you still hate the Yang family?"

Chuchen shook his head and said, "I hated me when I was a child. I hated them for killing my father, selling me and my mother as slaves, and even forcing my mother to marry a dirty man. Now I can't hate them anymore. It's not worthy of my hatred. After all, there will be gains and gains. I met Yuan Qing there and learned a lot of martial arts."

"Chaochen, Yuan Qing said you have a high martial arts skills, right?" Min Qiu asked curiously.

"It's all small martial arts, and compared with him, you can't get on the table."

Speaking of this, Chuchen also felt a little naughty in his heart. She pulled out a golden hairpin from her hair and flicked it gently. The golden hairpin shot out like lightning, hitting the rope on the door curtain. With a 'Crash!', the entire door curtain fell to the ground, which really scared Minqiu and the two maids.

Chuchen suddenly realized that he shouldn't show off his martial arts in front of Min Qiu, and quickly apologized: "Minqiu, I'm sorry!"

Pei Minqiu smiled sweetly, "When Yuan Qing leaves Beijing, I will live with you, at least I will not be afraid."















In the living room, the tea on the table was already cold and the tea bowl had never touched it at all. Yang Xuanbao was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back. He felt a little uneasy, wondering if the trip could complete the task assigned to him by his elder brother today.

Yang Xuanzhao was transferred to the prefect of Yiyang at the beginning of this year. This time he was returning to Beijing for the New Year. He was also preparing for the performance report at the beginning of next year. This was the decree issued by Yang Guang last year. All county magistrates in the world will return to Beijing for the New Year after the New Year.

Yang Xuanzhuo is one of the only two people in the Yang family who have a good relationship with Yang Yuanqing. Another one is Yang Wei. Yesterday, the Yang family held a family meeting and unanimously agreed to abolish the punishment for Yang Yuanqing four years ago, admitting that he was a member of the Yang family, and admitting that the punishment he had been punished against him was unfair. At yesterday's clan meeting, the Yang family unanimously handed over this task to Yang Xuanzhuo because he was the only opponent back then.

Yang Xuanbao sighed in his heart. He still remembered what he said at the clan meeting, "You will regret this decision one day!" After four years, this day finally came, but it was him who came out to clean up the mess in the end?

Yang Xuanbao was both hated and helpless. This was the family's decision, and he could only obey.

"Second uncle, it's been a long time since we met!"

Yang Yuanqing's low voice came from behind him. When Yang Xuanzhao turned around, he saw Yang Yuanqing appearing at the door, still as tall and mighty as before, but Yang Xuanzhao still felt that he was different from before. The most obvious thing was that there was a hard stubble on his lips, giving people a sense of toughness and coldness. Moreover, his eyes were no longer as sharp as before, but became unfathomable. When Yang Xuanzhao looked at him, he felt a burst of palpitations.

The real terror is not yelling, but silent.

Yang Xuanbao smiled bitterly and said, "The last time I saw you was in the second year of Daye, but it has been more than two years in a flash."

Yang Yuanqing smiled and waved his hand, "Second Uncle, please sit down!"

The smile on Yang Yuanqing's face and calling him the second uncle made Yang Xuanzhuo feel relieved. He sat down and a maid brought two bowls of hot tea and placed it on the table.

Yang Xuanzhu took out a red envelope, put it on the table, and pushed it to Yang Yuanqing and said with a smile: "When you got married, I was not in the capital, and I didn't celebrate in time. I'm so sorry, this is a congratulations."

Yang Yuanqing glanced at the envelope and smiled faintly, "Is this the second uncle's congratulations?"

Yang Xuanzhao showed a hint of embarrassment on his face. He wanted to get rid of the sloppy eyes, but he could not hide it from Yang Yuanqing's shrewdness. He had no choice but to say helplessly: "This is the congratulations given to you by the Yang family. Every Yang family's child has it, and Yang Wei has it. Just like you, it's not special."

"If it was the congratulations given by my second uncle, I would accept them. If it was the congratulations given by my father, maybe I would also accept them, but the congratulations of Yang's mansion......"

Yang Yuanqing shook his head and pushed the envelope back, "I'm sorry, I won't accept it!"

Yang Xuanzhao's face changed. Just as he was about to speak, Yang Yuanqing snatched the talk and said with a smile: "This time I came back from Jiangdu, I took a detour to Jingling County to visit my mother's grave. It was not far from the second uncle's Yiyang County. If I had known it, I would have taken the opportunity to see my second uncle. I felt that the Jingchu area was good, and it was worthy of being a land of fish and rice. It was richer than the Central Plains, but the population was not as dense as the Central Plains."

Yang Xuanzhuo knew that he didn't want to talk about the family affairs, but he had to say something. He did not follow Yang Yuanqing's topic, but pondered for a moment: "Yuanqing, you will be in a few days!"

"If the second uncle wants to stay in the capital, I can find a way to transfer the second uncle back, what?"

One of them talks about the east and the other talks about the west, and each talks about their own words. Yang Xuanzhao smiled and said, "The father needs to give you the word ", and you also have to worship your ancestors. How about it? Go back to the Yang Mansion! The Yang Mansion's family temple is specially opened for you."

Seeing that Yang Yuanqing did not make a sound, Yang Xuanzhao felt a glimmer of hope in his heart and said sincerely: "It was the Yang family who was wrong to remove you back then. Everyone has realized this mistake and is willing to apologize to you in person. Yuan Qing, you are alone after all. If a family supports you, no matter what you do, the Yang family's financial resources will definitely surprise you."

Yang Yuanqing sneered, "I don't think the Yang Mansion has much financial resources and a family that even has to care about a thousand acres of land. I really can't imagine how rich it will be?"

Yang Xuanzhao blushed and hurriedly said, "That's not a financial problem, but a family rule, first legitimate and then legitimate, so everyone can't figure it out for a while. Now the Yang family is willing to add a special clan rule for you. A particularly outstanding illegitimate son can be regarded as a legitimate child."

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "It seems that the Yang family still does not realize the root of its crisis. Yang Wei will become a general in the future, but now the Yang family is reluctant to give him a small house. Do you have to wait until he becomes a general before the Yang family will realize his regret?"

Yang Xuanbao was silent. He knew very well that Yang Yuanqing had mentioned the root cause of the Yang family's weakness, but this was not something he could change, and he was speechless for a moment.

Yang Yuanqing glanced at him and smiled and said, "I will tell you something to my second uncle. This morning, when I met the Holy Lord, the emperor has given me the name "Huqing". From now on, the second uncle can also call me Yang Huqing. In addition, on the first day of the first lunar month, I will sacrifice to my grandfather's spirit, so I don't have to go back to Yang's mansion."

Yang Xuanbao's heart sank. He understood and couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "So it's the emperor!"

"No! It's not just the emperor's issue, but the Yang family has not considered it clearly. With my current official position, where will the Yang family place me?"

Yang Yuanqing smiled faintly, "Are you the heir to the patriarch? Or just make a glamorous sign hanging at the gate of Yang's mansion?"
