This traveler only wants to choose the lowest difficulty

Chapter 309 Yang Zhi
Went through several bends with Yang Shi and came to the door of Yang Mansion, Wang Dong felt his eyes were a little dizzy.

The reason why he is confused is because this Yang Mansion is really too big, the courtyard is surrounded by alleys and alleys are connected to alleys. If it were not for Mrs. Yang’s guidance, he would have no idea what is the boundary between this so-called mansion and other surrounding buildings. .

In the end, Wang Dong felt that he had gone through five stages and cut six generals before he finally stood in a hanging flower gate. According to Yang, this is just a place close to the inner courtyard of the Yang Mansion, far away from the real core of the Yang Mansion, that is, Yang Shidao and others. There are still several doors away from the family's residence.

At this time, Wang Dong also understood that in Yang's eyes, these several gates are obviously the realm of several heavens.

After waiting for about [-] minutes, they finally entered the Hanging Flower Gate. Mrs. Yang greeted a woman, then sat down on the kang with a smile, and started chatting with her about household chores.

After listening for a long time, Wang Dong realized that the person sitting on the kang and talking to Yang family was not from the blood of the Yang family at all, but just an older servant of the Yang family. With deep social skills and not daring to offend at all, Wang Dong can see clearly that the Yang family's ostentation is not a fake.How could the real rich families in ancient times be so easy to make progress?Even such a servant woman has enough capital to take Qiao in front of a married concubine like Yang's.The two were warm on the surface, but they talked warily for a while, then a little servant girl ran in and made a blessing to the maid, and then asked Mrs. Yang to greet her and said with a smile: .Inside, the third aunt asked Grandma Wang to talk. "

Hearing this, the maid's smile became warmer, but she obviously still had a sense of proportion. From her smile, Wang Dong could see that the third aunt was probably a person in the Yang family who could talk, but her status was not that high.

When Yang Shi heard the words, she got up and said goodbye to the servant woman, and led Wang Dong to walk towards the Chuihua Gate. Wang Dong asked in a low voice, "Who is this person?"

Mrs. Yang quietly explained to him: "It's the daughter of my third grandpa. She was married to the governor of Jingzhou, the warrior Xun, and now she's a widow in Chang'an. Her name is Yang Zhi. When you see him later, call her third aunt."

Hearing this, Wang Dong couldn't help lifting his spirits. After listening to Yang's description, this person should be Wu Zetian's mother, that's right. According to historical records, after the warrior Xun died last year, Yang was excluded from the Wu family. The two daughters returned to live in Chang'an's hometown together, and he and Wu Zetian should both be in this mansion at this time.

Yang's name was not mentioned in the history. In ancient times, women's names were not very important, especially after marriage, it is normal for women to have no names. For example, Wang Hui's mother, Yang, must be at home. There is also a name, but this name is not used by anyone at all. After getting married, Wang Dong calls him Yang Shi. If someone is not familiar with her, she will call her Grandma Wang or Mrs. Wang, and it is almost impossible to call her by her first name. Therefore, Wang Dongdao doesn't really know what Yang's real name is now. In the same situation, it is only mentioned in history that Wu Zetian's mother was named Mrs. Rongguo, and there is no record of her name. Only then did Wang Dong know that his original name was Yang Zhi.

Generally speaking, the closer you are to the center of power, the greater the probability of getting the task, but thinking about it, Wu Zetian has not yet stepped onto the stage of history at all, she is just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, and the contact with him is fine. The possibility of triggering and affecting Wang Dong's fate during the Zhenguan period is still very small, so Wang Dong thinks this is probably just an ordinary visit to relatives.

Mrs. Yang pulled Wang Dong and the little maid to walk quickly towards the inner courtyard, passed through several hanging flower doors and dazzled Wang Dong with the sceneries, and finally the two came to a small village that looked a bit simple. In front of the courtyard, an aunt in her 50s who was not particularly gorgeous but had an extraordinary bearing was already standing at the gate of the courtyard waiting.

Wang Dong saw that there were only two maidservants in her, both of whom were wearing very simple clothes. Although this might be due to her self-esteem as a widow, Wang Dong could see Yang Zhi's life at a glance from the various layouts around her. The conditions are not very good, and it can even be said that they are poorer than the servant of the Yang family who was in charge of the Yang family who talked enthusiastically with people before.After all, Yang Zhi was just a widow who had to come back from her husband's house to live in her mother's house. She probably didn't get much money from the Wu family every month. She could only live on the extra money and grain allocated to him by the Yang family. Women also go back to their natal family to eat their meals, which is not very polite even among nobles in ancient times.It's no wonder that when Yang Zhi met Yang Shi, there was silent sadness in his eyes.

The two called each other sister and sister from a distance, and then Yang took two quick steps to grab Breed's hand and introduced them casually.

"This is my son Wanghui."

Yang Zhi looked Wang Dong's body up and down with his eyes, and then couldn't help laughing, "He's really a good man."

In terms of seniority between Yang Zhi and Yang Shi, Yang Zhi is twice as long as Yang Shi, and Yang Shi should be of the same generation as Wu Zetian, but because the family is too big, the age difference between the two is actually only one or two years old. They played together since childhood The older one gradually lost contact with each other after they got married. It was more than ten years after they met again at this time. Both of them had experienced the pain of marriage and bereavement, and the edges and corners had already been smoothed by the years. When sisters get together, there are naturally endless things to talk about.

When Mrs. Yang returned to the Yang family in Chang'an before, the first person she looked for was Yang Zhi. The two of them were already very close. Mrs. Yang was a married woman as a concubine before, so it is okay to go home and visit relatives , but being able to live next to the Yang family largely relied on Yang Zhi's ability to speak in the Yang family.

After Yang Zhi praised Wang Dong, he enthusiastically asked the maids and servants to go in and prepare quickly, and then led the two of them into the house. When they entered the house, the simple furnishings in the house once again proved that Wang Dong did not care about Yang Zhi's economic conditions. It’s a good guess, but even so, Yang Zhi’s servants still brought a rather generous plate of melons and fruits, and let a few people have tea and talk. After talking for a while, Yang Zhi suddenly laughed and said: “I’ve already told the Fuzhong Okay, let the incense hall in the mansion open later, and you take your family to pay homage to the ancestors."

Hearing that Wang Dong didn't feel very well yet, but seeing the incomparably joyful look in Yang's eyes, he couldn't help but thank Yang Zhi:.Sister, this is too much work for you. "

"It's all a family." Yang Zhi laughed.

Yang quickly asked Wang Dong to stand up, and said, "You quickly pay respects to Third Aunt Grandma."

Wang Dong was stunned to hear Yang's solemn words to him: "It is extremely rare for people from outside the house to pay homage to their ancestors in the incense hall of Yang's mansion. Your third aunt is here. , but made great efforts.”

Speaking of this, Wang Dong realized that families like Yang's family took their ancestral relationship very seriously, just like Wang Dong, who actually has no blood relationship with the Yang family, wanted to go to their temple to worship Paying homage is a very difficult thing, Wang Long couldn't help complaining in his heart, what kind of logic is this, is he afraid that he will snatch away the ancestors of their Yang family?
But looking at Yang's excited expression, Wang Dong also knew that the weight of this matter in his heart can be imagined, Yang Zhi must have said a lot of good things in it, and he still had to respond politely to his kindness.

So he quickly got up and bowed to Yang Zhi according to Zhao Yangshi's request. Yang Zhi nodded with a smile, and only let him sit down after Wang Dong bowed three times.
