A few days later, Yang Zezhi was safely returned to the Yang Mansion, and Mrs. Yang also returned home from Songzhou. Seeing that her eldest son was safe, her worries were relieved.
The incident where the horse was frightened at the racecourse was defined as an accident. The racecourse compensated all the injured people, and after the frightened people gave some gifts, the matter was officially settled.
But secretly, Yang Zezhi's reputation for being a troublemaker is still spread everywhere, and there are even rumors about his and Zhao Yiling's affairs...
After all, when he went to save Zhao Yiling, he risked his life to save her.
The rumors were so rampant that even Zhao Liulang was troubled by them and complained to Bai Shan and Zhou Man: "Who doesn't know that the eldest son of Senior Brother Yang's family is as gentle and kind as him? Don't say that the one who frightened the horse is my daughter, she is a strange woman.
, he will save him when he sees it. It is simply unreasonable for them to ruin a child's reputation and future just to suppress Senior Brother Yang."
Zhao Liulang felt a little guilty, "Because of this, he failed to take part in the imperial examination this year."
Bai Shan: "He was injured and couldn't participate in the first place."
He said: "The rumors stop with the wise man. Waiting for him to take the exam next year, everyone will have almost forgotten about it."
"What if he doesn't forget it? With such a reputation, he will definitely be discriminated against in the future, and his career will be hindered."
Zhou Man had been eating diced fruit. Hearing this, he raised his eyelids and looked at him, "Just say what you want to do."
Zhao Liulang chuckled and said to her, "Master Zhou still understands me."
Bai Shan glanced at him.
Zhao Liulang didn't notice, so he looked outside and whispered: "What do you think our two families will become in-laws?"
Zhou Man was stunned, then subconsciously shook his head, "No, your son is too old."
Zhao Liulang: "...I'm talking about my family's Yiling and Brother Yang's family's Zezhi."
"Oh~~" Zhou Man reacted, "No wonder you call him Senior Brother today. In the past, he was called Master Yang."
Zhao Liulang: "... Just tell me whether it's worthy or not?"
Zhou Man looked confused, "Are you asking me this? Shouldn't you ask Senior Brother Yang and Senior Sister-in-law? Otherwise, you should ask Zezhi."
Bai Shan closed the tea lid, placed the tea bowl on the table, touched it lightly and said, "He wants us to have a matchmaking match."
Zhao Liulang clapped his hands and said happily: "Exactly, you two have the best relationship with Mr. Yang. Although there are some rumors outside that you have turned against each other, I know it is absolutely impossible. If you go to talk to matchmakers..."
Bai Shan refused directly, "Senior Brother Yang has no plans to engage Zezhi at this time."
"He is already nineteen and will have his first child next year. My child is about to be born at this age. He still doesn't plan to get engaged?"
Bai Shan: "It's normal for children from aristocratic families to get married later. Senior Brother Yang doesn't have this intention, so we can't mention it."
Zhao Liulang looked at him suspiciously, "You don't have a crush on my daughter, do you?"
Bai Shan looked helpless, "It's not my child who is getting married. Doesn't it matter whether I see it or not? Instead of asking me, why don't you ask."
"That won't work. If I am rejected, how embarrassing will it be for me?" Zhao Liulang said, "How about you help me go to the Yang Mansion to find out what's going on?"
Bai Shan thought for a while and did not refuse again. He glanced at Zhou Man and nodded slightly.
Zhou Man agreed, "Is this your own intention or Yi Ling's idea?"
In front of them, Zhao Liulang did not hide his thoughts and said: "All of them, if he looks like that and is talented, who among the girls wouldn't like him? If Yi Ling doesn't like him, she won't go around him.
Already."
"It would be great if I could get married to Mr. Yang, but I'm afraid the Yang family will look down on me."
Zhou Man was surprised: "You are so unsure?"
Zhao Liulang: "...I still have self-awareness. If I, the father, were of the same character and position as my father, my children would naturally be able to marry the Yang family. I will not discourage them, but you also know that I will spend the rest of my life.
In other words, wandering around in the Forbidden Army, the sixth grade has come to an end."
"Yang Changbo is different. Although he was demoted, you and I both know that his talent, ability and prestige are there. In time, he will return to the capital." Zhao Liulang said: "Yang Zezhi is the eldest son of the Yang family, and the princess deserves it.
Not to mention my family?"
Bai Shan said silently: "Then you still mention it?"
Zhao Liulang: "Oh, doesn't his reputation now have a flaw? I thought this was a good idea. If the two families got engaged and word spread, then it would be a matter of course to save my daughter. What's the matter?
The rumors about Yan Fushui are self-defeating."
Zhou Man and Bai Shan said in unison: "Let's take advantage of the situation."
Zhao Liulang spread his hands, "So I ask you to ask what you want and what I want. If they are not willing, I will naturally not force it."
Zhou Man made the trip on his behalf.
Cui refused directly.
Zhou Man was puzzled, "Why don't you ask your senior sister-in-law to harmonize him?"
Ms. Cui shook her head and said, "I asked Zezhi before you came, but he didn't agree."
She said: "If they don't agree, then naturally your senior brother won't agree either."
Mrs. Cui smiled and said: "You know, he has always been very restricted by his family, and he doesn't want to restrict himself too much to his two children. Except for being tough on things like studying and studying science, he does everything else as they like. So this
Just ask what you mean."
"He was just rescuing people at that time. He had no other thoughts, and he didn't have much impression of the Zhao family's young lady." Ms. Cui paused and said, "And he also said that this matter happened because of him.
"Since then, the ladies started arguing around him that day, and the horse was frightened. It was his responsibility, and it was natural for him to save people."
"So we also feel sorry for the Zhao family."
"Sister-in-law, you are so kind," Zhou Man couldn't help praising them for their broad-mindedness, patting his chest and saying, "Don't worry, I will refuse this matter for you, and I guarantee that the Zhao family will not be resentful."
"But the recent rumors in the capital are a bit unpleasant. Are you and Zezhi not affected?"
Ms. Cui shook her head slightly, "Zi Zhi won't go out. Those who come to see him are all close relatives and friends, and they won't deliberately mention this matter. Moreover, he is not someone who cares about rumors, so he is not afraid."
"As for me, you also know that since your senior brother was demoted, I have not gone out to socialize. Now that he is injured again, I have closed the door to thank guests, so the rumors outside will not affect me."
"That's good, that's good." Zhou Man asked, "Have you ever thought about taking him to Songzhou for a walk?"
"I have thought about it, but he is injured and has to travel so hard that it is not appropriate," Cui said, "and he himself doesn't want to."
Zhou Man is one of her own, and Cui didn't hide it. She sighed and said, "You know, this child is just like his father. He is gentle on the surface, but in fact he is very stubborn in his heart. What he believes in will be a mountain of swords and a sea of fire."
He has to push forward, and no one can force him."
