Chapter 23: The root of the Yang family

Since Yang Su's most beloved Gu Kaizhi's famous painting "Making a Qin" appeared in the Zheng family's study room, Mrs. Zheng has been criticized by the Yang family, especially the legitimate house of the Yang family, who hated Mrs. Zheng to the core. Yang Su's various treasures and calligraphy and paintings generally have nothing to do with the common house, and they are inherited by the legitimate house. The sound of the separation of the family is becoming increasingly noisy, causing a stir in the Yang family. (")

Mrs. Zheng has become a quiet place in Yang's mansion now, and it is extremely difficult to see her. She can only go to her place every two days to report the bill and approve money and goods.

In the west wing, Mrs. Zheng slowly drank a bowl of bird's nest porridge with a gloomy face. Her face was always gloomy and she had never smiled since this year. She was a narrow-minded and mean woman. Her heart was always full of resentment. She was not so happy to everyone. She always had to make things difficult for the other party. She felt a little more comfortable. She was especially resentful. She kept things big in her heart and had been worried for more than ten years.

Mrs. Zheng is nearly fifty years old this year. Her mean nature can be seen from her appearance, with high cheekbones, thin lips, thin body, and her eyes full of shrewdness and resentment.

A maid hurried in and bowed: "Madam, the Zheng family has sent someone."

When talking about her parents' home, Mrs. Zheng was so angry that she secretly gave the painting to her elder brother, she specifically told him not to speak out. As a result, he showed off, causing the city to be full of wind and rain. She had to find a way to get the painting back, otherwise she would not be able to explain to her husband when he came back.

"Let the Zheng family come in!"

After a moment, a middle-aged woman was brought in. This was the concubine of her elder brother Zheng Shanyuan. Since the sister-in-law had passed away, the concubine was actually the head of the Zheng family's inner house.

"Greetings to the wife!" The middle-aged woman gave a gift to Mrs. Zheng when she entered the door.

"Is there anything wrong with me?" Mrs. Zheng said coldly.

"Madam, the master sent me to say that the harvest this year is not very good. The Zheng family wants to ask the wife to borrow some food."

‘Borrow some food?’

Mrs. Zheng sneered, borrowed 20,000 s of grain the previous year, and 50,000 stakes last year, but she never paid it back at all. She had to borrow grain again this year, what did she think she was?

Mrs. Zheng held back her anger and asked, "How much do he want to borrow?"

"The master said, I will borrow less this year, 15,000 s. (《》)"

"Ten thousand stones!"

Mrs. Zheng suddenly became angry. Now that the price of grain in the capital has increased several times, he is still embarrassed to ask for so much.

"impossible!"

Mrs. Zheng flatly refused, "This year, the Yang family also lacked the collection and could not produce so much food."

The middle-aged woman looked at her timidly, "The master said, if you are really embarrassed, then you can do ten thousand stones."

Mrs. Zheng took a sip of tea and said coldly: "You can give him ten thousand stones of food, but he must give me the last time the painting is returned. Now my husband is pursuing this painting, I can't explain it. I am this attitude, you go! This is my condition."

The middle-aged woman left with a bow. The maid next to her couldn't help but remind Mrs. Zheng, "Madam, the Yang family is making a big fuss now. You can give the Zheng family food......"

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Zheng threw a bowl of bird's nest on her face and cursed angrily: "Get out! You, a little slave, dare to blame me."

The maid covered her face and ran out. Mrs. Zheng was extremely upset.

Yang Jishan's wife Yue, entrusted by her husband, hurried into the home of the main house to meet Mrs. Zheng, and apologize for her son's affairs. More importantly, she wanted to get back two months of monthly money.

As soon as she walked into the inner courtyard, she heard someone crying behind the rockery, and there seemed to be someone admonishing him.

"Sister Ziyang, this is the temper of your wife, don't be sad."

"I kindly advised her not to do stupid things. She didn't listen and actually threw bird's nest on my face. I... I..." The little maid was extremely aggrieved, sobbing and crying. The latest chapter of the Holy Church.

It is a woman's nature to care about family matters, which is very popular in Yue. Her biggest hobby is to ask parents and family matters. She knows that Zi Yang is Mrs. Zheng's personal maid. When she heard that Mrs. Zheng was doing stupid things, Yue's curiosity was suddenly aroused, so she quietly approached and hid behind and eavesdropped.

"Madam is in a bad mood recently, so don't mess with her, hey! Madam is really... too much towards her parents' home, not only giving her treasures, but also giving her food."

"Not only give food, but also money! I gave the Zheng family 30,000 shi of rice the year before yesterday, and another 50,000 shi of rice last year. This year I have to give another 10,000 shi of grain. How expensive the grain price is now! If the Yang family knows about it, it will be a big fuss."

Behind the rockery, Yue covered her mouth. Mrs. Zheng was so bold that she gave the Yang family's money and grain that had been hung tens of thousands of stones and tens of thousands of yuan to the Zheng family. Thinking that she refused to give her dozens of money from her family, Yue suddenly felt angry. She had no intention of finding Mrs. Zheng again, sneaked out of the yard and ran home.

In the room, Yang Jishan and his brother Yang Renxing were discussing countermeasures. The specific plan proposed by Yang Yuanqing for him was equality of legitimate and illegitimate children. This not only required Yang Wei to lead the younger generation to fight for it, but also required them to play their roles. But what should we do? Yang Jishan was confused. He didn't sleep all night last night, but he could never think of a good entry point.

Yang Renxing is Yang Su's sixth son and the youngest son. He has a very good relationship with Yang Jishan. He also has a concubine son Yang Wanshi, who has been named Yingyanglang General and went to Liaodong to fight.

Although Yang Renxing was not very interested in Yang Yuanqing, he was very keen on equality of legitimate and illegitimate. Equality of legitimate and illegitimate means that he would get three times more money and grain every year, which is an temptation for any common house that is difficult to refuse.

The two discussed for a while but couldn't come up with a practical solution. At this time, Yang Jishan's wife, Yue, hurried into the yard.

"Jishan, I have something to tell you!"

Yue ran into the room with an excited look on her face. Seeing that Yang Renxing was there, she felt a little embarrassed, "So Yang Renxing is there too!"

Seeing that the couple had something to say, Yang Renxing stood up and said goodbye. When Yang Ren walked, Yang Jishan asked, "Look at your excited look, what's the matter?"

Yue hurried forward and said a few words to her husband. Yang Jishan was shocked, "How are you saying it seriously?"

"I was overheard what her personal maid said, and I shouldn't be wrong."

Yang Jishan took a breath and used the Yang family's money and grain to subsidize his parents' family. He Ruoyun's mother didn't dare to do this back then. Her sister-in-law was too brave and was simply too much, and Yang Jishan became angry.

He thought about it again. This matter was extraordinary. He wanted to tell Yang Yuanqing and listen to his opinions. Thinking of this, Yang Jishan repeatedly told his wife that he must not tell this matter. If he told it, it would affect Wei'er's future, the family's money and food, and the life of his precious grandson. In short, he had to use the most serious consequences to calm his wife before he could control her mouth.

Half an hour later, Yang Jishan appeared in Yang Yuanqing's study and told Yang Yuanqing the news he received. Although Yang Jishan was full of righteous indignation, Yang Yuanqing was not surprised at all. The Zheng family was Mrs. Zheng's backer. In order to win over her parents' family, it was not surprising that Mrs. Zheng used the power in her hands to provide some benefits to her parents' family.

A famous painting, tens of thousands of stones of grain and tens of thousands of dollars, is not much for the huge wealth of the Yang family. However, the timing of this incident happened to be uneasy. Once this matter was revealed, it is probably impossible for his father Yang Xuangan to be the head of the family. If it is not supported by the family and family wealth, what would Yang Xuangan rebel?

Thinking of this, Yang Yuanqing turned around in front of the window and said to Yang Jishan: "Uncle Fourth, don't be anxious about this matter. Wait until the 10,000 stone of grain happens before taking action!"

Yang Jishan said goodbye and left. Yang Yuanqing sat on the table, quietly pondering about the matter. At this time, the voice of his wife Pei Minqiu came from outside the study door, "Husband, everyone is getting in the car, I'll wait for you."

"I get it, come here!"

Yang Yuanqing packed up his desk a little, then stood up and walked out.

Several carriages were parked in the outer courtyard, and all 120 personal guards and entourages were on their horses. This is Yang Yuanqing's family planning to stay in the manor for a few days. A house in their manor has been renovated at the end of last year.

"Sorry! Sorry! It's late."

Yang Yuanqing got into the first carriage with a smile. The carriage was very spacious, and his two wives and several children were in the carriage.
