Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

On New Year's Day, Yang Zhengshan sent a red envelope to everyone in his family.

Needless to say, Yang Mingcheng and others, their red envelopes were all prepared by Yang Zhengshan with a lot of thought.

Yang Zhengshan asked the craftsmen of the government office to make a long spear for Yang Mingcheng, Yang Minghao, Yang Yunxue, Lin Zhan, and Wang Yunqiao respectively. The material used for making them was fine iron bought by Yang Zhengshan's second master Tolu.

The cost of each spear is more than fifty taels of silver. Although it is not a magic weapon, it is much better than the standard weapons in the army.

Such a spear is nothing to Yang Mingcheng and Yang Minghao, but it is a rare gift to Yang Yunxue, Lin Zhan and Wang Yunqiao.

Although they are young, they have been practicing guns for several years. They used wooden guns before. Now they finally have an iron gun of their own. Naturally, the three of them are extremely surprised.

"Thank you, daddy!"

"Thank you, Master!"

The three of them hugged their spears and thanked them.

Yang Zhengshan looked at them and said with a loving smile: "Practice well and don't let me live up to my expectations of you."

A daughter and two apprentices, these three people were the ones Yang Zhengshan carefully cultivated.

Although they are not warriors yet, their potential and talents will far exceed those of the three Yang Mingcheng brothers.

Every bowl of spiritual spring water they drink will become part of their foundation. When they reach age and truly embark on the path of cultivation, they will surely soar into the sky and become a blockbuster.

Counting their ages, Yang Yunxue is already fourteen years old this year, and Lin Zhan and Wang Yunqiao are also thirteen years old. In two years at most, they will be able to become warriors.

"Yes, this disciple will definitely live up to Master's expectations!" Lin Zhan said solemnly.

He and Wang Yunqiao were most grateful to Yang Zhengshan. The more they experienced and saw, the deeper their gratitude to Yang Zhengshan became.

Nowadays, the Yang family has many servants, and many of these servants, like them, have lost their relatives and had to be sold into slavery. Compared with these servants, they are undoubtedly lucky.

But compared with the servants who were sold to other places, the servants of the Yang family were also lucky.

The Yang family does not have so many rules, and they will not torture their servants. As long as they do things seriously, the Yang family will not treat them harshly.

Moreover, the Yang family also taught them reading and martial arts. Such treatment was definitely not what servants deserved.

"Wu Hai!" Yang Zhengshan called.

"Here you are!" Wu Hai quickly walked in from the door.

Yang Zhengshan handed him the two bamboo baskets beside him and said: "Give them to the people below, one to each person, for good luck!"

He is still very generous, and will send red envelopes to the servants in the mansion during the New Year and holidays.

The money in it is not much, an ordinary servant only has twenty cents, but for people like Wu Hai and Ding Qiu, Yang Zhengshan will give them twenty taels of silver.

As for those nannies, personal servants and maids, Yang Zhengshan doesn't need to worry about them. Masters like Yang Mingcheng will have their own red envelopes.

Wu Hai retreated, but the matter of giving out red envelopes was not over yet. The family members had finished giving out red envelopes, but there were still others coming to pay New Year greetings.

First, Song Dashan came with his whole family to pay Yang Zhengshan New Year greetings, and then came Yang Mingzhen and other Yang family children. Yang Zhengshan was not stingy and gave them all a large red envelope.

In fact, the red envelopes Yang Zhengshan handed out this year were quite small. Last year in Yinghebao, all the children in Tunbao came to pay him New Year greetings. He gave out hundreds of small red envelopes worth two cents each.

After the red envelopes were distributed, everyone dispersed happily. Yang Zhengshan walked back to the bedroom with a smile and took out another wooden box.

He came to the west room and saw Yu Qingyi in a daze.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I miss my disciples!" Yu Qingyi came back to his senses and said a little embarrassedly.

She also has an apprentice, and she has three apprentices. The eldest is seventeen years old and has just become a warrior. The youngest is only six years old and is an orphan she picked up two years ago.

"When things outside are over, you can go back and see them!"

Yang Zhengshan knew that she was homesick. This was normal. Can a person miss home alone in a strange environment during the Chinese New Year?

"When will it end?" Yu Qingyi looked at Yang Zhengshan expectantly.

Although she didn't know what Yang Zhengshan was talking about now, it didn't stop her from eagerly hoping that this matter would end soon.

Yang Zhengshan thought for a while, "It could be two to three months at the earliest, or one year at the earliest!"

The secret military guards have figured out the general situation of the smuggling case. The only problem is that they have not yet found any clues about Prince Qing's Mansion.

The dual-sword warrior they were targeting before has left Anyuan City. If this dual-sword warrior is really connected to Prince Qing's Mansion, they should be able to gain something soon.

If there is still no evidence related to Prince Qing's Mansion, Lu Hua and Miwuwei will not be able to linger on this for too long.

Yang Zhengshan estimated that Lu Hua couldn't wait for a year, let alone a year, maybe half a year.

After all, Lu Hua is the admiral of the Secret Military Guard Zhenbei Division, and the Zhenbei Division is responsible not only for Chongshan Town, but also for the entire northern part of Darong.

Lu Hua has been stalling in Chongshan Town for a long time, and it is impossible to keep stalling like this.

"This is for you!" Yang Zhengshan handed the box in his hand to Yu Qingyi.

"For me?" Yu Qingyi was startled, then his eyes showed joy, "Can I open it?"

"Of course!" Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Yu Qingyi opened the box, and inside was a ruby ​​gilded hairpin. The bright ruby ​​inlaid on the gilded hairpin looked particularly dazzling.

Looking at the ruby ​​on it, Yu Qingyi was first overjoyed, and then said in a low voice: "Sir, this is too expensive."

She is also a woman, how could she not know the value of this gilded hairpin?

This small gilded hairpin is probably worth hundreds of taels of silver.

"I give it to you, just take it!" Yang Zhengshan touched his nose and said.

This ruby ​​gilded hairpin was originally the dowry he saved for Yang Yunxue, but now?

He could only say sorry to his cheap daughter.

Dad will slowly save up the dowry for you in the future, and now Dad will use your dowry to find you a stepmother!

If Yang Yunxue knew what he was thinking, she might call him a scumbag father.

But it's a pity that Yang Yunxue didn't know.

"Thank you, sir!" Yu Qingyi lowered his head, and his cheeks turned red again.

Seeing her blushing face, Yang Zhengshan's heart couldn't help but beat a few times.

"I'll put it on you!"

He didn't allow Yu Qingyi to refuse, and directly took the gilded hairpin in the box, and then took off the silver hairpin on Yu Qingyi's head.

But he seemed to have forgotten one problem.

That is, he didn't know how to comb his hair.

As soon as the silver hairpin was taken off, the black hair fell down like a waterfall.

Yang Zhengshan tried to tie up his hair in a hurry, but it became more and more messy.

The hands that had practiced the Thousand Machine Hands were like ten carrots that were out of control.

His clumsy appearance made Yu Qingyi laugh.

The crisp laughter echoed in the room, but Yang Zhengshan was stunned.

It was the first time he saw Yu Qingyi so bright and beautiful. Before the blush faded, the bright smile climbed up again. Just like a blooming rose, it was so beautiful that people wanted to touch it.

Yang Zhengshan really touched it, and his hand let go of the soft hair and fell on the rosy cheek.

The laughter stopped abruptly, and Yu Qingyi's cheeks were hot.

The atmosphere in the room became ambiguous.

Yang Zhengshan could hear his heart beating, and the beast in his heart seemed to break out of the cage.

But at this moment, Wu Hai's voice rang out from outside the door.

"Master, Miss Yu Lu wants to see you!"

The manic beast was suppressed in an instant, and the ambiguous atmosphere was broken. Yu Qingyi jumped up like a frightened deer and fled into the bedroom with disheveled hair.

Yang Zhengshan held the gilded hairpin stiffly, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

Meow, I'm very angry!

The atmosphere was set off here, but it was interrupted.

Yang Zhengshan walked into the main room with a gloomy face. Wu Hai stood outside the main room door, with a low-browed and pleasing look, and not far away Miss Yu Lu was standing quietly with her maid and the old woman.

Today, Yu Lu was wearing a light blue jacket and light makeup. She was not as gorgeous as before, but had a bit more girlish beauty.

It was as if she had changed into a different person. Yang Zhengshan could not associate the Yu Lu in front of him with the half-covered and seductive dancer before.

Looking at Yu Lu, Yang Zhengshan frowned slightly.

"Come in!"

Yu Lu walked into the hall and bowed.

"I greet the master!"

The voice was still soft, but the emotion in the tone seemed a little cold.

Yang Zhengshan sat in the main seat and looked her up and down.

Suddenly, he found that this girl did not seem to be as weak as he imagined, which changed his previous impression of her.

My concubine!

Yang Zhengshan continued to frown.

"I don't mean to take you as my concubine!" Yang Zhengshan said.

Yu Lu raised her head, revealing her white neck, "Master, I have entered the door of the Yang family!"

"Haha, where the door of the Yang family is is not determined by this courtyard, but by me."

Yang Zhengshan chuckled, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

Feeling his gaze, Yu Lu trembled slightly, and suddenly she seemed to feel as if she was seen through, as if all the clothes on her body disappeared, and she stood naked in front of Yang Zhengshan.

The mood that was still calm just now became panic at this time.

"I, no, I wish you a happy new year!" She knelt on the ground and bowed.

That's right, she is just a slave. Sha Pingchuan said she was a goddaughter, but in fact he held her indenture in his hand.

Sha Pingchuan gave the person to Yang Zhengshan, but did not give Yang Zhengshan a indenture.

It is still uncertain whether this person belongs to Yang Zhengshan or Sha Pingchuan.

Yang Zhengshan stared at her, and then his eyes moved to the two women and two maids behind her.

During this period of time, they lived here, and every move of theirs could not escape Yang Zhengshan's eyes.

Yu Lu was very honest and had never left Xiuchun Garden, but the two women around her seemed a little dishonest and often found excuses to wander around the yard.

"You two women are a little ignorant, I will let someone teach you for two days!"

Yang Zhengshan had not planned to deal with these two women, but now that they had bumped into him, there was no need to keep them.

As for Sha Pingchuan, they were just two ignorant women, could Sha Pingchuan still turn against him for this?
