Chapter 393 The Secret of the Yang Family
The Yang family members dispersed at the imperial concubine's order. Yang Jingxiu should indeed go to receive other guests, such as the Wang family, who have always been here. In fact, Yang Jingxiu still didn't understand why the imperial concubine came. He had just asked a lot of insidious questions, and Huangfu talked about him indifferently, but he couldn't tell the true meaning at all.
Yang Jingxiu was confused and took it directly as some kind of hint from the emperor. Maybe the emperor wanted to convey some signal to the world?
It is better to discuss a few sentences with Wang Daozhong, maybe we can get some reference.
Yang Jingxiu kept some discerning maids and servants, removed all the men, left enough comfortable space for the concubine, and retired.
Huangfuqing didn't bother to pay attention to what he was thinking. As expected, he sat comfortably on the mahogany chair and sipped tea. Looking at the uneasy little girl in front of him, he felt very happy.
Suzaku can wear small shoes for Xia Chi.
Looking at the world, who else is there!
If this is the struggle for hegemony among the three kingdoms recorded in the history of the Era, I am the strongest Cao Wei, and she is also a wife. How fitting.
There is a female version of Zhuge over there, who has just come out of Jingxiang...but now she is in a very un-Zhuge state. She looks like a second-rate fool and is not worth a fight.
As for this little girl... It's a pity that this is not Hefei, but it's not too far away... From now on, Zhao Changhe's yard is your Hefei, don't even think about going in!
Huangfu Qing completely forgot that this location was actually not too far from Chibi. He almost crossed his legs as he drifted away, and said leisurely: "Is your name Yangyang?"
Cui Yuanyang really didn't know what was going on with this noble concubine. No matter how awesome the Cui family was, they had to obey the rules and answered honestly: "Your Majesty, Yangyang is a nickname, and her real name is Yuanyang."
"Women generally don't have the character generation, but your father has arranged the Yuan character generation for you. This shows that you have high expectations for you. It implies that women should be inferior to men."
"But, it's possible." Cui Yuanyang scratched his head: "Dad loves me very much."
"According to this meaning, what the Cui family should want is a son-in-law, right?" Huangfu said seductively: "Isn't your performance of showing off to a man in front of everyone not very good?"
Cui Yuanyang: "?"
What does it have to do with you...Wait.
Hiss...this is the imperial concubine. If Brother Zhao is really a prince, then this is his little mother. Could this person be expressing opinions on behalf of the emperor?
If that's the case, then it's a big problem... Cui Yuanyang's face turned green: "Empress...this..."
“In addition, as far as I know, your birthday is at the end of the year. It seems that you are still half a year away from becoming an adult, right?”
“Actually, the end of last year was enough.”
What is enough? This description... is really unbearable.
Huangfu stopped at the sentiment: "Your Majesty is very concerned about this marriage."
Cui Yuanyang was really restless this time, wondering if he should go back and discuss it with his father... If the emperor really paid attention to this matter, it seemed to be very complicated, and the little rabbit couldn't analyze it by himself.
"It's getting dark, let's go back to the house and rest." Huangfu picked up the tea cup to see off the guests with satisfaction, and said sincerely: "Don't be too arrogant in everything, and think more about the Cui family tradition."
I don’t know if what I really want to say is don’t jump too far, or don’t jump too much. In short, Cui Yuanyang was completely manipulated, and he returned to his yard with his head hanging down. He looked at the wall next to him and did not dare to pass by.
In fact, after the noise dispersed and everyone returned to their places, Zhao Changhe actually had serious things to do. Yang Jingxiu's birthday banquet was the day after tomorrow, and there were no guests gathering for the banquet at the moment. Yang Bugui, who claimed to have retreated, was sitting in his yard, sitting across from him and drinking with him.
"You're so scary around you, Brother Zhao." Yang Bugui breathed in air: "Even Cui Yuanyang is so aggressive around you, like a rabbit with fried hair."
“Yangyang is very good...”
"Yes, yes." Yang Bugui said: "What did Saint Lady Xia of the Four Elephants Sect say? At that time, Langya was discussing swordsmanship, and her affection for you was seen by everyone. This time you really want to fight with the Cui family I don’t even dare to think about Saint Xia’s reaction to the engagement.”
Zhao Changhe glanced at him: "Hey Brother Yang, don't tell me you are interested in Chichi."
Yang Bugui lowered his head to drink, and was silent for a while without retorting: "It's indeed interesting. I can also see that Wang Zhaoling is also interested in her. Xia Chichi was supposed to be a witch who caused trouble in the world, causing chaos in every family. It's possible... maybe it's because of you that she doesn't show any pretense to men. "
Zhao Changhe looked a little strange. He heard others say that he likes your girlfriend... but he said it in an aboveboard way and was not offensive.
It occurred to me inexplicably that Cui Yuanyang was one of the people who performed well in Langya Swordsmanship at that time, and he was well-matched. However, none of the children from these aristocratic families showed interest in her, and instead all fell in love with Chi Chi.
The witch template is more appealing to the family, right?
"Of course, Brother Zhao and she have known each other since they were very young, and this kind of emotion is something that others can't envy. I'll just say that, if I really fall in love with a witch, I'm afraid I will be beaten to death by my father. Brother Zhao's existence can be considered as a way to save my family in advance. All the worries are gone." Yang Bugui laughed and toasted: "I have to thank Brother Zhao for helping to capture Yang Qianyuan."
Zhao Changhe drank and asked, "Did Chi Chi go to Yang Qianyuan after contacting you?"
Maybe the delay in bringing Yang Qianyuan back made you like her more... Zhao Changhe did not dwell on this. What he saw was more essential: "Why did the Four Symbols Sect think of cooperating with the Yang family? What performance did the Yang family reveal? Do you think the Four Symbols Sect can fight for it?"
Yang Bugui narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him without speaking. "Don't worry, I won't mess with the Four Symbols Sect... I don't know if the Xiangyang incident counts, but I think the essence is still to mess with Maitreya and the Wang family, not directly provoking the Four Symbols Sect. Otherwise, Venerable Suzaku saw me before, The attitude is not that simple." Zhao Changhe said: "The reason why I asked Brother Yang has nothing to do with the Four Symbols Sect...but I came here to discuss cooperation with the Yang family."
Yang Bugui said: "We are going south to Xiangyang this time. We are just sending troops to assist in defense. We are not going south to expand ourselves."
"I know."
“The next move of Brother Zhao and the Chief of the Tang Dynasty should be to do their best to wipe out Jiangnan and completely eliminate the troubles of Maitreya. So what is the use of asking us to cooperate? You will not lack us to send some troops to participate in this battle.”
"To be precise, what I need is the power of your father, who is tenth on the Earth Ranking. At that time, the shadow of the gods and Buddhas behind Maitreya was present, and the Xian father and son were all there to see it. I need to gather all the forces that can be united to complete the work. This battle. My father-in-law has participated in the siege of Maitreya before. If he escapes, the Yang family may have some troubles in the future. I think your father-in-law will be happy to cooperate with me again. "
Yang Bugui smiled: "That alone is not enough to get all the heads of the Tang Dynasty to come together... Brother Zhao has other ideas, so you might as well tell him."
"The Wang family will not want us to easily destroy Maitreya. Instead, the Tang family will form a general trend in the south of the Yangtze River. They will be very likely to cause damage to us. I don't expect the Yang family to help defend Xiangyang, but I hope that the Yang family will at least not be here. Let’s lean towards him in everything, otherwise we will be very passive.”
Yang Bugui stared at Zhao Changhe for a long time, and suddenly said: "Originally, Brother Zhao didn't care who rebelled, but now he is fixing everything. How can Brother Zhao adjust himself to these inconsistencies? Specifically, it is reflected in the relationship between the Four Symbols Sect and the Chief of the Tang Dynasty. ”
Zhao Changhe said: "Maybe everyone has a misunderstanding... I still don't really care who rebels. The reason why I rebel against Maitreya is because he is more rubbish. As for the Wang family, it is purely because they want to kill me. As for the head of the Tang Dynasty, I hope more It’s for her to go into seclusion in the countryside and stop worrying about these messy things, not to make her feel more comfortable.”
Yang Bugui didn't care about what Zhao Changhe said in such a long way, but caught one word: "More?"
Maitreya is "more rubbish", which means that today's people are also rubbish, so this word is used.
Zhao Changhe was scolding Xia Longyuan.
Zhao Changhe did not answer this directly, but said: "Brother Yang, there is no need to keep testing my meaning... In fact, the Yang family may not care much about what I think of the world. I think what the Yang family really cares about is that they once had a relationship with Cui Wang Qiming, but now the Yang family's presence is not that high... Brother Yang is much more taciturn, how can he be as high-spirited as Wang Zhaoling and Cui Yuanyong? "
Yang Bugui’s smile disappeared.
Zhao Changhe said: "No matter how much you look down on the bravery of an ordinary man, the people in the world care about the troubled times. The Yang family has not been on the list for several generations. Is there a risk of decline?"
Yang Bugui said slowly: "Brother Zhao exposed our scars, what do you want to explain?"
Zhao Changhe said: "The Yang family can become a top family, and its inheritance is obviously not weaker than that of King Cui, but it has begun to decline. It may not be because your qualifications cannot keep up."
Yang Bugui said calmly: "Our qualifications are indeed stupid, and we cannot compare with the genius of King Cui."
"Why hide it from me?" Zhao Changhe said flatly: "There must be something wrong with the Yang family, and it is precisely because the Four Symbols Sect saw this that they thought they could talk about cooperation with you. In this case, why can't you talk to me? Talk? Maybe they can’t solve it, but I can.”
After a pause, he suddenly added: "The Yang family has never held birthdays with such great fanfare. I very much suspect that this birthday banquet is somewhat related to this matter."
Yang Bugui stared at Zhao Changhe for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "I will convey Brother Zhao's wishes to my father. Brother Zhao, please sit quietly. The birthday party has not been held in the past two days. I hope Brother Zhao has a good time here."
After speaking, he stood up, bowed, and left.
Zhao Changhe sent him out and turned to look at Tang Wanzhuang's closed courtyard door next door. He secretly thought that Tang Wanzhuang was listening to these conversations and didn't know what he thought.
Today, Huangfuqing and Yangyang are quarreling one after another. I don’t know if this master’s sister can stand it... We are only halfway through the pursuit. Will it be blown away by the current situation...
Zhao Changhe knocked on the door with a headache and tried to chat for a few words. There was no sound inside and no one opened the door.
Zhao Changhe rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then returned to his yard and climbed over the wall.
As soon as his head poked out from the wall of the courtyard, Baoqin held a big broom in his hand, jumped up, and slapped his head over: "Whore, I knew you could climb the wall, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Tang Wanzhuang sat in the courtyard reading a book without raising his head: "Liang Shang's actions are an insult to the teacher. Go back and copy the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" a hundred times and reflect on it."
Zhao Changhe didn't dare to fight Baoqin, so he fell back with his head in his arms and secretly called him "Die".
If she is really angry, she will definitely be thinking that nothing should have happened between the two of them, so why should she be jealous of other women?
It’s going to blow...what should I do?
At this moment, red clothes flashed on the door, and Huangfu Qing jumped in, full of charm: "As I said last time, next time we meet, if you don't eat me, I will eat you too."
Tang Wanzhuang, who was reading a book next door, pricked up her ears.
Soon I heard the next sentence, a seductive voice: "Is it exciting to eat a noble concubine secretly next to the head of the imperial court?"
Tang Wanzhuang's cold voice floated under the moon: "How dare you, witch!"
