Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

"Dad!"

The first person to see Yang Zhengshan was Yang Yunxue. She bowed to Yang Zhengshan with a smile on her face.

"Daughter-in-law kowtows to Dad!"

When Li saw Yang Zhengshan, she also kowtowed three times.

The three little guys behind also kowtowed.

Yang Zhengshan first glanced at Yu Qingyi, and when he saw Yu Qingyi standing next to the carriage and smiling at him, he was completely relieved.

"Get up quickly!"

He first called Li up, then stepped forward and touched Chengmao's little head.

"Do you miss grandpa?"

"Yes!" Yang Chengmao raised his head and smiled.

Yang Chengxian and Yang Wanting were not familiar with Yang Zhengshan, but Yang Chengmao was very familiar with Yang Zhengshan. After all, Yang Zhengshan often took him to play in the past. Although he was still young at that time, he still had many memories.

Yang Zhengshan smiled kindly and talked to the three little guys.

Although Yang Chengxian was unfamiliar with Yang Zhengshan, he was not afraid. Instead, he liked to be close to Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Wanting was too young and seemed a little shy. She grabbed Li's clothes and dared not look up.

"Okay, let's go in and talk!" Yu Qingyi came over and interrupted the chat between the grandfather and grandson.

Li let out a long breath, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

She was very nervous to come back this time, after all, they had been away from home for more than three years.

She was afraid that Yang Zhengshan would not be close to the child, that Yu Qingyi would be dissatisfied with him, and that the family would feel unfamiliar with them.

But now it seems that her worries are unnecessary.

The family returned to the main courtyard, and Yang Mingcheng immediately asked the kitchen to prepare meals.

Wang was still in confinement, so it was not easy for her to come out at this time. Liang came over with the help of the maid.

Yang Minghao was still in Shaling Fort and would not come back today.

The family sat together to eat, and Yang Chengye sat next to Yang Chengmao, picking up dishes for Yang Chengmao from time to time.

Yang Chengye is now eight years old, and his temperament has become more and more stable. He looks like a little adult, but he is still a child after all. Finally seeing Yang Chengmao again, Yang Chengye is full of joy.

The other children in the family are very unfamiliar with Yang Chengmao, but Yang Chengye is different. In the past, Yang Chengmao always followed Yang Chengye's ass. Wherever Yang Chengye went, Yang Chengmao followed.

"Brother, I'm full!"

However, sometimes, special care can become a burden.

Yang Chengmao looked at the full bowl of food with a tangled face.

"You eat so little?" Yang Chengye looked at his younger brother in confusion.

Although he picked up a lot of food for his younger brother, it should not be enough.

"I really can't eat anymore!" Yang Chengmao pursed his lips.

Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw this, and at the same time felt that he owed Yang Chengmao a little.

The funny thing is that Yang Chengye actually picked up food for Yang Chengmao with his own appetite. Although Yang Chengmao is only eight years old this year, he looks like a calf and looks like a teenager, tall and big.

The reason for this is that, first, it is because of heredity. Yang Mingcheng is tall and strong, and Wang is broad and fat. Yang Chengye is naturally taller than other children of the same age.

Second, because Yang Zhengshan takes special care of him, the things in the Lingquan space have always been close to Yang Chengye's food and drink. With the nourishment of the Lingquan water, Yang Chengye's body is naturally much stronger.

In comparison, Yang Chengmao has not been in the Yang family for the past two years. Yang Zhengshan has no way to cook for him. Without the nourishment of the Lingquan water, Yang Chengmao's body is far worse than Yang Chengye.

So Yang Zhengshan feels that he owes Yang Chengmao something.

"Chengye, your brother is still young and can't eat so much!" Yang Zhengshan said.

"Oh!" Yang Chengye was a little regretful, but then he looked at Yang Chengxian next to him, picked up a large piece of fish and put it in Yang Chengxian's bowl, "Third brother, eat more!"

Yang Chengxian raised his head and smiled at him innocently, then buried his head in eating.

This kid has some potential to be a good eater.

Can eat!

Yang Zhengshan watched this scene with a smile.

But Yu Qingyi's eyes were a little dull, they were all good children, but it was a pity that her stomach was not good enough and she had never been pregnant.

After a warm dinner, Yu Qingyi asked Nanny Lin and Nanny Song to help Li clean up the yard, and everyone else dispersed.

"Everything is going well!"

When the two returned to the bedroom, Yang Zhengshan asked.

Just now, the children were all there, so he didn't ask too much. Now that there were only the couple left, he didn't have any scruples.

Yu Qingyi took out the letter that the Marquis's Mansion asked her to bring and handed it to Yang Zhengshan with a solemn look.

"This is from the Marquis!"

Yang Zhengshan was slightly surprised. Why did Liang Chu write to him?

He took the letter and opened it. Yu Qingyi said, "The Marquis's Mansion seems to have taken a fancy to Yun Xue and intends to let the third son of Liang marry Yun Xue!"

Yang Zhengshan paused while opening the letter. "Did they say it clearly?"

"No, it's just that after the birthday banquet, the Marquis's wife brought the third son of Liang to meet us!" Yu Qingyi said.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly, then opened the letter and read it.

After reading the contents in his mind, his brows twisted into a ball.

Liang Chu really wanted to marry into the Yang family.

But why?

What is there in the Yang family that Liang Chu values?

Or it should be why Liang Chu values ​​Yang Zhengshan so much?

With the current status and position of the Yang family, it is naturally not a good match with the Changping Marquis' Mansion.

If the two families marry, it would be Yang's marrying up.

And there should be many young ladies from official families in Chongshan Town who are more suitable for the third son of Liang!

"Is there anything wrong with the third son of Liang?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Yu Qingyi shook her head, "No, although the third son of Liang looks a little weak, I can see that he has practiced martial arts and is already a martial artist!"

"No problem, but he chose our Yang family, which is strange!" Yang Zhengshan was very puzzled.

He couldn't think of the reason why Liang Chu chose the Yang family.

If Liang Chu valued him, there would be no need for the two families to get married.

Is it because of the Ningguo Mansion?

That's not right!

Although Zhou Lan is Yang Zhengshan's thigh, Yang Zhengshan can't control Zhou Lan, let alone the Ningguo Mansion.

Besides, the relationship between the Changping Marquis Mansion and the Ningguo Mansion is not bad, so there is no need to go around so many bends to get in touch with the Ningguo Mansion.

Yang Zhengshan really couldn't figure it out for a while, so he could only say: "Check it first!"

In fact, he didn't want Yang Yunxue to marry to the Changping Marquis Mansion in his heart.

Because the difference in family background would make Yang Yunxue feel insecure.

If it was an ordinary family, Yang Zhengshan could still support Yang Yunxue if she was wronged.

But if it was the Marquis of Changping Mansion, Yang Zhengshan could not support Yang Yunxue at all.

After a daughter gets married, her parents' family is her confidence.

However, in front of the Marquis of Changping Mansion, the Yang family really has no confidence at all.

So Yang Zhengshan would rather Yang Yunxue marry a lower-class mansion than marry a higher-class mansion.

At most, marrying a lower-class mansion would be like Yang Yunyan and Jiang He, and the Yang family would live with them.

But marrying a higher-class mansion!

That would really be like a daughter who is married off, like water spilled out.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Yang Zhengshan reached out and took Yu Qingyi into his arms, "My wife, it's time to go to bed!"

"..."

Yu Qingyi rolled her eyes at him.

"Can't you be more serious!"

"What's so serious about being serious with your own wife? Is it appropriate to be serious?" Yang Zhengshan half-hugged and half-carried Yu Qingyi to the kang.

The kang is great.

It is wide and solid. It won't creak when you rock it. It won't feel cramped when you change positions. You can play however you want.

...

No words were spoken that night.

The next day, Yang Zhengshan came to the garrison hall refreshed.

"Call Ding Qiu over!"

As soon as he sat down in the study, Yang Zhengshan asked Han Fei to call Ding Qiu.

A moment later, Ding Qiu came to the study.

"Master!"

"Well, there are two things you need to do!"

Yang Zhengshan spread out the paper and wrote while saying, "The first thing is to check the Changping Marquis Mansion and the third son of Liang. Go to Kyoto to check if there is anything in the court recently that is related to the Changping Marquis Mansion. Go to Chongshan Pass to check the reputation, character, ability, physical condition, etc. of the third son of Liang. Try to check it as carefully as possible!"

The reason why the Changping Marquis Mansion chose to marry the Yang family may not be because of the Yang family. It may also be that the Changping Marquis Mansion encountered some problems, so it is necessary to investigate the situation of the Changping Marquis Mansion in Kyoto.

Although Yang Zhengshan was reluctant to let Yang Yunxue marry into the Changping Marquis's Mansion, this did not prevent him from understanding the situation of the Third Young Master Liang first.

If the Third Young Master Liang was a good choice, Yang Zhengshan might change his mind.

"Then I will lead the team to Kyoto myself?" Ding Qiu said.

Yang Zhengshan pondered for a moment and said, "Let Wu Zheng lead the team to Kyoto!"

Wu Zheng is one of the Yang family guards. He used to be a disciple of the Tianqing Sword School. He is 35 years old this year. He is steady and mature in doing things. Yang Zhengshan is more assured to use him.

In the past two years, with Zhu Shanghe's guidance, the Yang family guards have made great progress in collecting intelligence and monitoring targets. Although they are not as good as the secret guards under Wei Cen, they can already complete some not-too-difficult tasks.

Yang Zhengshan wrote two letters, "This letter is to Mr. Liu, the Right Censor of the Censorate. Ask Wu Zheng to bring back Mr. Liu's reply when he returns!"

"Please arrange for someone to go to Jianningwei to deliver this letter to General Zhou, and also bring back General Zhou's reply."

If you want to understand Changping Marquis Mansion, you can't rely on the Yang family alone.

The Yang family is still too low-level, and it is impossible to have a comprehensive understanding of Kyoto and the court, so he has to find two people who can really contact the court to understand the situation.

And Liu Yuanfu and Zhou Lan are undoubtedly the most suitable candidates.

Ding Qiu took the letter and then discussed with Wu Zheng. The two of them took five guards to Kyoto and Chongshan Pass respectively.

Although the number of people was a little less, they were just going to inquire about the news, so there was no need to bring too many people.

Kyoto is far away, even if you gallop, it will take half a month to run back and forth.

In comparison, going to Chongshan Pass is much faster, and there should be results in three to five days.

Although Yang Zhengshan wanted to find out why the Changping Marquis' Mansion wanted to marry into the Yang family, he was not so anxious that he could not wait even three or five days.
