Volume 1, Chapter 24
Yang Rong really didn't expect that Yang Cong would actually get to know several generals. However, martial arts positions are really useless these days, especially martial arts positions without real power, which are basically just decorations.
Alas, this kid may think he will challenge Chen Longxi after getting to know a few generals.
He did not rush to question Yang Cong, but instead greeted Yu Dayou and others. He politely talked to the three of them, and then ordered his servants to take them down to arrange their residence and ask them to rest. Until the three of them's backs disappeared outside the gate, he slowly pulled his face down and said seriously: "Cong'er, I heard that you beat Chen Wenjie and Mr. Chen's follower."
This sounds a little wrong. Why don’t you ask if someone’s escort hits your grandson?
Yang Cong replied carefully: "This, grandpa, it was Chen Wenjie who asked his follower to knock on his grandson and then he fought back."
Yang Rong couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "Cong'er, even if they do it first, you should ask grandpa first. You may not know the power of the Chen family in Longxi. Alas, enemies should be resolved rather than formed!"
This was said, as if he had done something wrong, Yang Cong was a little unresolved: "Grandpa, I know that the Chen family in Longxi is a wealthy family of maritime merchants, but they cannot be lawless. I did not offend Chen Wenjie. He ran to Hui'an for no reason and inexplicably someone hit me with a stick. Can't I fight back?"
Yang Rong shook his head and sighed: "This matter was negligent. When Chen Wenjie came to propose marriage, I should have thought of these things. Originally, this matter was not difficult to solve, but if you follow others, it will be difficult to deal with."
Just kidding, this matter is not difficult to solve, what can you do?
Yang Cong couldn't help but say curiously: "Grandpa, how to resolve Chen Wenjie's case? He clearly wants to bully his grandson and force the Zhang family."
Yang Rong continued to sigh: "Isn't he angry because our Yang family proposed marriage to the Zhang family? You also know that the Zhang family was not very happy at the beginning. Now, Lord Zhang Yue and Zhang have been promoted to the right assistant censor of the Censorate. Our Yang family cannot afford to support the Zhang family. We can find someone to talk to Chen Wenjie and explain to our Yang family that our Yang family has given up on this marriage. Isn't this matter resolved?"
This sounds reasonable. As long as the Yang family gives up, Chen Wenjie doesn't need to use the Yang family to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys. However, his purpose is not the chicken of the Yang family, but the monkey of the Zhang family.
Yang Cong thought about it and asked carefully: "Grandpa, will our Yang family give up the proposal and the Zhang family marry their Chen family?"
Yang Rong shook his head and said, "Of course this is impossible. Even if our Yang family gives up, the Zhang family will not choose the Longxi Chen family. The Yang family is a scholarly family that has been passed down for more than a hundred years. How could it be infected with a wealthy maritime business family like the Longxi Chen family and bring shame to ancestors."
Then it will be together, Yang Cong said with the flow: "Grandpa, grandson, think that if the Chen family in Longxi cannot achieve their goal, they will not let our Yang family go. Think about it, if our Yang family quits, the Zhang family will still refuse to marry them. They are angry and embarrassed, and they should kill the chicken to warn the monkey? And who is the most suitable to be this chicken at this time? It seems that before this, our Yang family is the only one who proposes marriage to the Zhang family. Anyway, he has beaten me, and then kills us as chickens. This is also very likely, right?"
When Yang Rong heard this, he frowned.
Yes, even if the Yang family surrenders, the Zhang family will not agree to marry the Chen family. Chen Wenjie hastily couldn't find a partner, so he will still take action against the Yang family!
It seems that this matter is really impossible to be good. He thought about it and then asked, "Cong'er, I heard that you went to the capital for this matter and met Lord Xu of the government office. What does Lord Xu think about this matter and what did he say?"
Is that right? When facing jackals, tigers and leopards like Longxi Chen, you are still lucky. You will definitely be eaten by others and have nothing to hide from your grandfather. Yang Cong immediately explained what Xu Jie said about "Soldiers come to block the water and soil."
After listening to Yang Cong's introduction carefully, no strange looks appeared on his face, but his eyes at Yang Cong were obviously surprised. This grandson seemed to have suddenly grown up and became sensible. He could understand such complicated strategies so thoroughly.
He never thought that he could do the Chen family in Longxi. This trick might be the best way right now.
He thought about it, then nodded slowly and said, "This is the only way to do this for the sake of the present. It's still early. Grandpa has something to do, so you go down and rest first."
When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This was the first time he finally got over. He quickly got up and retreated respectfully.
Next, Yang Rong was going to hold a birthday party and had no time to pay attention to Yang Cong. Yang Cong finally got free.
In fact, there is nothing to do at all for this birthday celebration. Most people just give a gift, then have a meal, and get a gift. As for Yang Cong, he doesn't have to pay the gift, because his grandfather has already served it on behalf of the Yang family, and he has basically only the only food left.
However, eating was the most troublesome thing for Yang Cong, because the chefs and mothers in the Yang family's other courtyard were taken to help with the birthday party. There was no food in the other courtyard. If you want to eat, you had to go out to have a banquet.
He really didn't want to go out and be pointed at by others as a topic of chatting, but after spending a long time in the courtyard, he had to go out because the lunch time was up.
He could only take Yu Dayou, Deng Cheng and Tang Kekuan out of the villa and dodge to walk towards the nearest pergola.
Fortunately, not only the gentry from Hui'an, but also the Quanzhou Prefecture, but also the nearby prefectures. The Yang family's neighboring courtyards were basically the children of the gentry from other prefectures. There were basically no one who knew him, so he was less embarrassed.
This day is not Zhang Shen’s birthday, so there is no need to be a regular schedule. Those who come to celebrate the birthday do not need to be so reserved. When it comes to dinner, they will pick up a few familiar friends, find a table to sit down, and wait for the food to be served.
Seeing that there were all the children of gentry whom Yang Cong was surrounded by unknown people, he felt much more relaxed. He casually found a table and asked Yu Dayou and others to sit down, and then started chatting with them all over the world.
Unexpectedly, before the banquet began, a scream suddenly came from behind him: "Brother Cong, I have found you."
Damn, who is this? I want to make myself ugly, right?
Yang Cong subconsciously raised his hand to cover his face and turned to take a look.
It turned out to be Wang Rui!
This guy can be said to have been cheated by him. Originally, his family cursed Chen Wenjie, but he was forced to bite Chen Wenjie back. Now, Chen Wenjie probably has the intention to kill him, so he can only hold his "thigh" tightly to resist the Chen family's revenge.
When Yang Cong saw that it was Wang Rui, he breathed a sigh of relief. This guy must have come to curry favor with him. If he had the courage to sarcastically sarcasticly, he would not dare to sarcastically.
He directly patted the empty seat next to him and said kindly: "Come on, Bo Feng, there is still an empty seat here. Sit down quickly and the food will be served later."
When Wang Rui heard this, he ran over happily, bowed and gestured to Yu Dayou and others, then sat down and said curiously: "Brother Cong, when did you come? I have been looking for you for a long time, but I haven't found anyone."
This guy, if you can't find someone, you won't go to the Yang family's villa to ask? Obviously, he is lying, but Yang Cong did not expose him, but instead pretended to be curious and said, "Have you been here long ago? Did that boy Chen Wenjie get those two followers out?"
When Wang Rui heard this, he said awkwardly: "I came here yesterday afternoon. As for Chen Wenjie's two close friends, he found the county magistrate, and we have to let people go."
As expected, the two of them followed him didn't think about anything. They let him go after they let him go. Yang Cong nodded, and then started chatting with Yu Dayou and others.
Wang Rui sat aside awkwardly. Seeing that Yang Cong and others didn't pay much attention to him, he couldn't help but take the initiative to raise the topic and said, "Brother Cong, have you heard that the Chen family in Fuzhou has sent people here. They seem to be interested in marrying the Zhang family. If you want to talk about these two families, it's really a match."
A good match?
What the hell?
