The one who came was Yang Sina, the youngest son of Hongnong County Duke Yang Gongren, the Minister of Punishment.
Yang Sina was about thirty years old and very frail. Because of his frailty and illness, he never entered an official position and lived in Hongnong.
His elder brother Yang Siyi was ordered to die by Li Yuan a few years ago because of a secret meeting with the acting king Yang You. His son, Yang Binbin, Yang Sina's nephew, committed suicide by hanging himself.
The feud between the two in-laws of Longxi, the Li family and the Yang family, has lasted for decades. They have been separated and reunited. They are married to each other and have countless blood debts. It can be said that they are entangled in grievances and grievances, and even they themselves find it difficult to explain clearly.
When his nephew came to visit him, Yang naturally had to come to receive him in person.
The age difference between her and her nephew is not too big. They both live in Hongnong's ancestral home all year round. The aunt and nephew get along very well, otherwise Yang Sina would not come to visit her aunt as soon as she arrives in Chang'an.
The aunt and nephew had not seen each other for several years and were quite unfamiliar, so Yang asked someone to take out her two daughters. Yang Sina clumsily held Wu Su, who was just one year old, very strangely.
My sister Wu Shun is two years old and can already run around and circle around her cousin, babbling and talking as if she is afraid that he will drop her sister.
The child made a fuss, causing the aunt and nephew to quickly close the distance.
Yang started to ask about the current situation of her family. Yang Sina was very patient and explained everything in detail. She also picked up interesting things and told her aunt, which made Yang feel a lot happier.
She was really afraid that her nephew came to ask for guilt. When Li Yuan was there, he was merciful to the Yang family of Hongnong at first, but it changed later. When the acting king Yang You died, the Yang family implicated everyone.
Even Yang Sina's brother could not escape death, so one can imagine the fate of others.
Her husband, the warrior Xun, was a favorite of Li Yuan and played a large role in Li Yuan's ascension to the throne. As for whether her husband's hands were stained with Yang's blood, she was not sure.
Yang Mudan believes in Buddhism and attaches great importance to the reincarnation of cause and effect. She is afraid that one day her mother-in-law's family will come to seek revenge.
At this time, when she saw her nephew talking naturally, hugging her cousin and smiling happily, with no look of sadness on her face, Ms. Yang finally felt relieved, and she was still praying in her heart that her husband would not come back at this time.
Yang Sina fell in love with her cousin the first time she saw her. She really liked this little baby. Her round eyes were full of energy. She didn't cry when she was lying in her cousin's arms. She would giggle from time to time.
He would scratch his cousin's beard, and occasionally turn over to look at his sister below.
He was babbling, as if he was telling his sister to stop playing around and disturbing her.
"Is the wintersweet still there? I haven't seen you for a few years. It's weird." Yang asked.
Wintersweet is a white cat, a cross between a foreign species from the Western Regions donated by the Turks and a local cat. She is all white and is very popular with Yang, but she seems unwilling to leave her homeland. When Yang got married, she ran away without a trace.
It was nowhere to be found, and when Yang went to Chang'an, it appeared again leisurely.
Yang Sina nodded and smiled: "Here he is, he just doesn't like to move much anymore. They all said he was old. I originally wanted to bring him to my aunt, but strangely, I couldn't find him when I left..."
Yang was also amused, "It's smart and knows that it's hard to leave your homeland."
Yang Sina deeply agreed, "Yes, cats are like this, let alone humans? I don't want to travel far... But when I came to Chang'an and met my cousin, I realized that this trip was worthwhile."
After saying that, he couldn't help but shake his arms and burst into laughter. Wu Fu looked at him in confusion, and then he also grinned, which made Yang Sina even more happy.
While enjoying themselves, Mrs. Yang took a look at her nephew's expression, and then said carefully: "It is said that my brother is now the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. He has been away for a long time. How did he end up in Jin? I have been worried for several years, and I feel sad every time I think about it.
I thought I would never see him again in this life..."
I felt a little unlucky when I said this, so I immediately shut up.
Sure enough, Yang Sina's smile faded, and she let out a long sigh, and said with some fear: "My grandpa has been through many ups and downs in recent years, and I can hardly recognize him when we see him again.
If my aunt didn't ask, I wouldn't want to mention it... My father accompanied him on a trip to Jiangdu, but was later taken to Hebei by the rebels. He lived in Wei County in a miserable state and almost starved to death there. Later, Dou Jiande sent an envoy to Jin.
The grandfather recommended by Pei Ju went with the team to Jinyang. It happened that his uncle was also in Jinyang at that time. It is probably because of mutual support that we met again today.
Well... my father deeply hates Li Yuan for his unkindness and unrighteousness. My aunt should be more careful about what she says when she meets my grandfather in the future, and don't mention the past if possible.
My nephew came to Chang'an to teach the children in the family to make progress, and I also want me to go to Chang'an Academy to be a professor, but I can't help myself."
Yang couldn't help but feel sad. Her cousin was much older than her. She was quite talented when she was young. Her cousin praised her several times. Later, he acted as a matchmaker for her several times. He took good care of her. He didn't want to grow old, but he never saw her again.
They didn't dare to see him anymore.
Perhaps sensing the sadness of the adults, Wu Fu twisted her little body and pulled her cousin's beard. After getting along with him for a while, she seemed to already know that her cousin liked her behavior.
As expected, Yang Sina turned from worry to joy and said with a smile: "It's really gratifying that Er Niang is so intelligent... What did she catch when she captured Zhou? Can someone tell her fortune?"
Yang forced a smile and said, "I caught her some time ago. She also grabbed books and abacus. People say she will definitely be a great housekeeper in the future. Her father seems to be happy about it too. She has not calculated her fortune... wait until she is older."
talk later."
Yang Sina looked at his cousin carefully and almost completely ignored the other one, but he couldn't see anything. He could only smile and said: "With the guidance of my aunt, I can't go wrong... In the future, my nephew will come often and he can teach her...
…They are enlightened.”
Seeing his eccentric look, Ms. Yang was amused by him again. It was the first time in several years that she saw her mother's family, which made her sad and happy but she didn't know where to go.
It is precisely because of the lack of support from their natal family that the two stepsons become more and more unscrupulous, which is in line with the Buddhist law of cause and effect.
Yang Sina finally raised his head and said seriously: "I've been talking to my aunt for a long time, why can't I see my uncle? I heard that he is always at home, right?"
Yang panicked for a moment, but still replied: "He went out to visit friends, what's the matter? Sanlang has something to do with him?"
Yang Sina smiled and shook his head and said: "From now on, I will always visit my uncle when I come and go frequently. If he doesn't like it, how can my nephew come to visit me again?"
Yang could hear some disapproval in his tone. The arrogance of a wealthy family member finally appeared on Yang Sina at this moment, but it was not so obvious.
Yang's marriage to the warrior Xun when he was in his forties was undoubtedly a humiliation in the eyes of the Hongnong Yang family's children. However, Yang Sina was more open-minded than others and could still come to visit her aunt. Others
But he never comes to the house for nothing.
It was a coincidence that Cao Cao was about to arrive. The warrior Yu heard this sentence when he walked outside. He couldn't help but feel angry. However, he was a businessman and had seen similar scenes many times, so he was just angry for a moment, and then smiled all over his face.
He walked in with heavy steps.
After looking at it for a moment, he smiled and said: "In this weather, all the people who come to visit are real relatives. If I don't like it, then won't I have no relatives in the future?"
"Grandpa..." Wu Shun cheered, ran over and hugged his leg.
Warrior Xun took advantage of the situation and picked up his daughter. He looked at the frail nephew carefully holding his daughter and getting up with a smile. He couldn't help but smile even more. It seemed that he was not here to seek revenge, so that's good...
He and his wife had exactly the same worries. They were afraid that someone would come to knock someone out of business. Without his official position, his family wealth would be too conspicuous, otherwise he would not be in a hurry to return to Jinyang.
Ms. Yang stood up and took her daughter from her husband's hands. At the same time, she was complaining in her heart that it was not the right time for her husband to come back. She was also thinking about going back and forth a few times and waiting for the opportunity to introduce her to her husband.
"Sanlang has met my uncle." Yang Sina took the lead in saluting.
Yang said tightly: "You have never met Sanlang. He is the son of my cousin Yang Wen. My uncle, King Guan, is of the same lineage as Yang Gong. He has lived with me in the ancestral home since he was a child. Sanlang was ill when we got married.
So this is the first time I see you."
The servants came over and wanted to take Wu Fu away from Yang Sina's arms. Yang Sina hid, and then felt it was inappropriate, so he reluctantly handed over the baby.
Of course, the warrior Xun had never seen Yang Sina, and of course, he didn't see many relatives there. When he saw his appearance, he secretly laughed in his heart, our child is just a troublemaker.
But he said cheerfully: "It's getting late, go and order someone to prepare some wine and food. If Sanlang has nothing to do, you might as well have a few drinks at my uncle's place. I can tell you, there are a lot of good wines in the house, from Chang'an."
There are all kinds of famous wines, including many grape wines from the Western Regions..."
Yang slapped his arm angrily and said with a smile: "What have you not seen before, Sanlang, and you want you to show off here?"
Yang Sina touched his beard, feeling a little embarrassed, but seeing how deeply they were in love, he felt relieved. The warrior Yu was remarrying, and the Yang family was the eldest, so if the husband and wife were not in harmony, then he
From now on... I'll have to support my aunt.
Compared with the warrior Xun, Yang Sina was a real nobleman. He bowed and said, "The elder invited me and I dare not refuse. It's just that my nephew is immature, so I ask my uncle to show mercy."
Warrior Xun entertains guests in the same way as Li Po. As long as he wants to please people, he can always entertain you to your satisfaction.
The advantage he has over Li Po is that he is really rich and can get almost anything his customers like.
The disadvantages are also obvious. He does not have the power and prestige of Li Po, so entertaining the nobles is a bit thankless.
The warrior Xun did not choose another place, nor did he let Yang avoid it. Food and wine were quickly served, and the couple accompanied the guests together, making Yang Sina feel at home.
It was a pity that Wu Fu was taken away. Those little cubs in his family were too noisy... He didn't know why he liked a one-year-old baby so much. Maybe it was fate?
Of course, a daughter like Wu Fu might have her own miraculous qualities...
