Chapter VIII Unfair Distribution
When he came, Yang Yue was worried, but when he left, he was in a downfall. In the carriage... Yang Yue's body fluctuated with the shaking of the carriage. He was like a lifeless body, with his eyes blankly looking at the Zhuquemen Street in front of him.
Holding eighteen returned orders in my arms, together with the fifteen last time, a total of thirty-three copies, which was something that had never happened since the founding of the Sui Dynasty. It was obvious that the emperor used the imperial edict to attack Yang Yue, which put great pressure on him. [..com]
"I don't want a third time..."
The emperor's threat came back in his mind, and he knew very well what would happen to the third time.
At the same time, another sentence from the emperor came back to his mind..." Yang Yuanqing, as a foreign minister, should not be involved in my family affairs. He is still young, I don't blame him, but the Yang family should strictly control him...
This sentence was like a fire, igniting all the worries, pressure and troubles in his heart.
In the inner courtyard of Yang Mansion, a thin woman in her thirties hurried into Mrs. Zheng's yard with resentment on her face. Her surname was Yue, and she was the wife of Yang Su's fourth son Yang Jishan. Her mother's family was a businessman background. Because she had something to do with Yang Su, Yang Su let her own concubine Yang Jishan marry the daughter of the Yue family as her wife.
Yue's treatment of the wife of the concubine's son in the Yang family made her sensitive, inferior, jealous, and self-conscious. In addition, her smartness brought from the businessman's family made her a never-tiring crow in the backyard of the Yang family.
If she belongs to her, she will not miss a drop of water. If she does not belong to her, she will try every means to scrape a layer of oil. If others get benefits but she does not get them, she will spread rumors and slander, she will spread rumors and make the people who get benefits exhausted.
Today, Yang Jishan, the husband in charge of Yang's farmland, returned to Yang's house to report the autumn harvest account and accidentally revealed her... an astonishing discovery was that one of the most fertile lands in the Yangjiazhuang farmland in Jingyang County was secretly disposed of.
The Yangjiazhuang land has more than 100 hectares in Guanzhong, and is divided into nearly 20 farmlands of all sizes. Among them, Jingshuihe Ether in Jingyang County, there is a farmland of thousands of hectares and one thousand acres... It is the most fertile piece of Yangjia land, with a yield of five or six hundred kilograms of grain per mu. It is called the gold in Yangjiazhuang land.
But the Yang family's gold-buchanged farmland was secretly assigned to a Yang family's child at some point, and this Yang family's child was Yang Yuanqing.
This gold-for-selling farmland was specially assigned to Yang Su to appease Yang Yuanqing's unsuccessful achievements in the Battle of Lake Harry, and was given to him to reward soldiers who made contributions in the Battle of Lake Harry. In order to prevent the news from leaking, Yang Susi's passiveness in rewarding military merits... This matter was done very secretly... Only Yang Su and Yang Xuanting knew... None of the rest, including Yang Yuanqing's father Yang Xuangan.
But with the arrival of autumn harvest, this secret was discovered. First of all, Yang Jishan, who was in charge of the farmland, was discovered. He was suspicious and dissatisfied. This was the first piece of land of the Yang family belonged to individuals. Before that, the Yang family's land was jointly owned by the Yang family... It never belonged to any house, and even half of their own Yongye land was handed over to the family, and the grain produced was used to replicate the poor people in the Yang family.
Yang Jishan's discovery undoubtedly broke the rules of the Yang family... He came back in a resentment and gave it to his wife Yue again. Yue was almost crazy. A si-sin who was not even as good as a concubine's son actually occupied ten hectares of the best fertile land alone. Who gave it to him? Even if the Heavenly King gave it to him, it would not work!
It was like a fire that Yue rushed into Mrs. Zheng's yard like a gust of wind.
The night before yesterday, Mrs. Zheng also crowded in the crowd to see Yang Yuanqing bijian. Because Qiu Ye was cold, she caught a cold. She had been in the room for rest and taking medicine these two days. Her mind was dizzy and could not think of anything else.
"Sister, are you here?" Yue's voice came from the yard.
The maid was about to refuse, but Mrs. Zheng waved her hand and said in a weak way: "Let her come in!"
After a moment, Yue rushed in like a gust of wind, clapped her hands and said, "Sister, something big happened!"
"My brother and sister, what big thing happened?"
"The land in Jingyang is the most fertile land, and my father actually gave it to others."
Yue's heart was like a mirror. Who would dare to transfer that piece of land except her father-in-law Yang Su?
"Who did you give it to? Tell me clearly, oh! I have a severe headache, so tell me another day!"
Mrs. Zheng looked down on this sister-in-law from a businessman family from the heart. She was feeling uncomfortable today, and she had no intention of listening to her spreading rumors.
Yue didn't mind Mrs. Zheng's cold face at all. She knew that as long as she said those three words, her illness would be cured immediately. She knew the conflict between Mrs. Zheng and Yang Yuanqing better than anyone else.
She sat down and stared at Mrs. Zheng's eyes and said word by word: "My father has already given the manor of 1,000 acres to Yang Yuanqing. This is Jishan's manor just now, and the news is true."
"Who?" Mrs. Zheng sat up straight and widened her eyes.
Yue sneered sourly, "Who else can it be? Your son Yang Yuanqing, oh! My elder sister is smiling! Congratulations to my elder sister, I have obtained such a large farmland...
Mrs. Zheng's face sank, "Don't say sarcastic words. He is not my son and has nothing to do with me."
"But I would rather ask his son, one thousand acres! I calculated that it would be worth at least five thousand taels of gold. The key is that there is no place to buy it."
Yue raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Sister, why do you think my father is so biased to him? He has been biased since he was a child. He has given birth to a child. Is his relationship with his father..."
"Shut your stinky mouth!"
Mrs. Zheng was also a little angry. She was not angry for Yue, but for her father-in-law's partiality. Her two sons had no land under her name. The eldest son became the county magistrate and finally got a few acres of permanent land, but his father-in-law gained fame and forced him to share it with the poor, and even called it... Changyu style, but how did he do it himself? He actually gave the best 1,000 acres of land to a concubine. How unfair!
She suddenly hated Yang Yuanqing deeply, and she gritted her teeth. When she thought of the conversation between Queen Xiao and herself, new and old hatreds poured into her heart. At this moment, her cold suddenly recovered and her mind was clearer than ever.
Yue didn't care about Mrs. Zheng's scolding her at all. She knew Mrs. Zheng's mood at this moment. She asked in a low voice: "Sister, what should we do? Let's just forget it?"
"Forget it, hum! Is there something so cheap?"
At this time, the maid suddenly reported at the door: "Madam, the master of the Zheng family is here, waiting in the front hall."
The person who came should be her elder brother Zheng Shanyuan. It is probably here to visit her condition, but it is better to visit her sister-in-law. What are the elder brothers doing?
She was suspicious, but she had to deal with the things in front of her. Mrs. Zheng thought about it and said to Yue: "You tell all the people of this matter to you. It's useless to rely on the two of us to complain. Only when you have public anger will your father regret his decision."
Yue seemed to have received the imperial edict, jumped up and ran outward. In this way, she could tell everyone that this was what the eldest wife told her, so as to clear her relationship so that her father-in-law would not settle the score with her in the future. This was also a kind of businessman's shrewdness.
In the guest hall ahead, Yang Xuangan was talking to his brother-in-law. Today is the day off, and Yang Xuangan is also resting at home. He was really exhausted when he accompanied the envoys of various countries during this period. He did not want to see any guests. However, Zheng Shanyuan is the eldest son of the Zheng family and has a high status. He came to visit him in person. Yang Xuangan had no choice but to receive him in person.
"Xuangan, I came here this time just for a small matter. In fact, just talk to my eldest sister. There is no need for you to receive it personally. I know you have worked hard these days."
Yang Xuangan smiled, "Lying on the couch is also a rest, and chatting with you is also a rest. Are you also a foreign envoy?"
Zheng Shanyuan also laughed. His brother-in-law was very good at speaking and was worthy of being the Minister of the Honglu Temple. He said what he wanted today: "Last time you asked Yuan Qing to come to Zheng's family to meet, but Chunshui happened to be in poor health that day, so he wanted to change the schedule. Originally, I invited Yuan Qing to the Zheng family for a meal these two days, but I happened to have something to do, hey! I always couldn't make up the time. This time my mother made the decision and wanted Yuan Qing to go to Zheng's family again tomorrow to let the two children meet officially. Look..."
Zheng Shanyuan tactfully put forward the request for my marriage again. Yang Yuanqing left a deep impression on them by the arrow that night, and he had to praise him. As long as the emperor favored him, it would be okay for the queen to be slightly dissatisfied. They also discovered that Yang Yuanqing might have a future.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zheng Shanyuan finished speaking, Mrs. Zheng’s voice came from outside the door, “Absolutely not possible!”
Mrs. Zheng walked into the room and said coldly: "The daughter of the Zheng family would rather marry beggar than marry him."
Zheng Shanyuan and Yang Xuangan looked at each other. How did you say this? Is it so biased, where did Yang Yuanqing offend her?
Yang Xuangan knew his wife's concerns and had to smile bitterly and stop saying a word. Zheng Shanyuan coughed dryly, "Big sister, how do you say this?"
Mrs. Zheng refused to give her brother a good face and said with a shady face: "Brother, go back! Things are not as simple as you think. Something big is going to happen to the Yang family. You will come and propose marriage after the matter is over.
"lady!"
Yang Xuangan finally couldn't help it. He dragged his voice and said, "What big thing is going to happen to the Yang family? Why don't I know?"
"You'll find out soon."
Mrs. Zheng urged her brother again, "You go back first, and I will talk about my marriage later."
Zheng Shanyuan looked embarrassed and had to get up and say goodbye to Yang Xuangan: "Since there is something wrong in the mansion, I will say goodbye first. We will talk about my marriage later."
He bowed with fists and left embarrassedly. Yang Xuangan sent his brother-in-law out of the mansion and came back to the inner room. When he saw Mrs. Zheng at a glance, he lowered his face and said, "How can you be so rude to your elder brother?"
"rude?……"
Mrs. Zheng snorted coldly, "After listening to me, you will know what true rudeness is!"
