Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

"Master, there are more than 300 people in our training camp now!" Wang Yunqiao said with resentment.

She felt that Master always underestimated their women's training camp. Although their women's training camp was not as good as the Fifth Army Camp, these sisters were also very powerful, much more powerful than those ordinary soldiers.

"Three hundred people? Why have there been so many more people?" Yang Zhengshan was slightly surprised.

"Well, many sisters wanted to return to the training camp after getting married and having children. I didn't accept them all, I just chose some with better qualifications!" Wang Yunqiao looked complacent.

After getting married and having children, I want to go back to training camp!

Yang Zhengshan showed a look of surprise.

Getting married and having children means that they have accomplished a major life event, and it also means that they have their own confidence. It is not incomprehensible for them to want to return to the training camp.

It seems that the Women's Army can still be formed, but it is much more troublesome for women to serve as soldiers than for men. That is to say, in Tenglongwei, there will be fewer rumors in this regard.

"Let's see, the women's training camp can recruit people, but it can't exceed 500 people. As for the war horses, you can go to Zhou Ren later and ask him to allocate 300 war horses to you!" Yang Zhengshan thought it would be good to have a women's training camp. Maybe many powerful female warriors will emerge from here in the future.

As for the war horses, today's Tenglong Guard has no shortage of war horses. Three hundred war horses are just a trivial matter.

"Thank you, Master. I know that Master is the most reasonable!" Wang Yunqiao beamed when he saw that he agreed.

"Okay, stop flattering and go quickly, otherwise you will regret it later as your teacher." Yang Zhengshan said angrily.

Maybe because he grew up, Wang Yunqiao became more and more relaxed around Yang Zhengshan, and even dared to joke with Yang Zhengshan.

"Disciple obeys the order! Disciple resigns!"

Wang Yunqiao chuckled, bowed and exited the study.

Yang Zhengshan looked at her back and shook his head slightly, "I can't bear to accept it anymore. The children have grown up!"

Now his body is fifty years old. Although he doesn't want to admit it, the fact is right in front of him and he can't admit it.

Especially the children around him are growing up one by one, which makes him feel that he is no longer young.

Well, youth has nothing to do with him long ago, but he always has a pure childishness and a drive to defy old age in his heart.

Then he took care of some official duties at the yamen. Feeling that time was almost up, he got up and went home.

The Yang family seemed particularly lively today, servants were busy coming and going, and more than a dozen people, old and young, gathered in the main courtyard.

When Yang Zhengshan came to the main courtyard, everyone was talking and laughing.

"What are you talking about? I can hear your laughter from so far away!"

Yang Zhengshan stepped into the main room, looked at the room full of people, and smiled.

His eyes moved and finally landed on a slender figure.

"Master!"

Lin Zhan stepped forward, knelt in front of Yang Zhengshan and kowtowed three times, "The disciple is back!"

Yang Zhengshan stretched out his hand to help him up and looked him up and down.

It has been four years. Lin Zhan has been traveling with Liu Zhe for four years, and he just returned to Tenglongwei today.

"Yes, I have grown taller and taller. Well, I have also matured!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile on his face.

"How's it going? How have you been living outside these past few years?"

Yang Zhengshan sat next to Yu Qingyi, and Yu Qingyi handed him a bowl of tea.

Lin Zhan stood nearby and said, "Fortunately, the teacher took me to many places, and the journey was smooth!"

For four years, Lin Zhan followed Liu Zhe almost throughout Da Rong. They went to the desolate northwest, to the prosperous and beautiful south of the Yangtze River, and to the rugged southwest. Finally, they returned to Kyoto and stayed in Kyoto. For more than half a year.

To say that it was smooth, it was not smooth at all. They also experienced many hardships. The worst one was that Liu Zhe even broke a leg and spent nearly a year recuperating in a small mountain village.

In fact, he had written letters to his family in the past few years, but the children who went out always reported good news but not bad news. Yang Zhengshan could see the child's mood from the letters, but he did not understand what happened.

But at this time, Yang Zhengshan saw the mature Lin Zhan and understood that Lin Zhan must have suffered a lot during this trip.

In this regard, Yang Zhengshan did not feel distressed or couldn't bear it.

The young eagle will eventually grow up, spread its wings and fly to find its own sky.

If you want to grow, how can you not pay a price?

Yang Zhengshan did not ask Lin Zhan in detail about his experiences in the past few years. In fact, before Lin Zhan came back, Liu Zhe sent him a letter. Although the letter did not explain what Lin Zhan had experienced specifically, Liu Zhe praised Lin Zhan. The showoff was enough to reassure Yang Zhengshan.

"What were you talking about just now?" Yang Zhengshan turned his head and looked at Yu Qingyi.

Yu Qingyi smiled and said: "We are talking about Lin Zhan's marriage!"

"Marriage!" Yang Zhengshan nodded, "It's really time to get married!"

He turned to look at Lin Zhan, "Do you have a woman you like?"

Lin Zhan's face suddenly turned red and hot, "Master, no."

Although this kid has matured a lot, he is actually still a simple young man.

Yang Zhengshan blinked, "Your teacher didn't take you to Hualou in Jiangnan!"

"No, no!" Lin Zhan became even more shy and waved his hands repeatedly.

"You shameless old man, what are you talking about!" Yu Qingyi slapped Yang Zhengshan in dissatisfaction.

Yang Zhengshan coughed lightly, "Don't all literati like to have fun? I thought Liu Zhe would take him to experience it!"

If Liu Zhe were here, he would definitely criticize Yang Zhengshankou.

I am a gentleman, how can I mislead others!

Lin Zhan was shy and embarrassed.

In fact, it's not like Liu Zhe didn't take him there. It's true that literati like to have fun, but some literati just like to talk to Qing Guan'er about poetry and songs, or listen to ditties and watch dances. This is an elegant thing. If it's a real gun. It would be tacky to mount a fight with real swordsmen.

Liu Zhe took Lin Zhan there, but did not allow Lin Zhan to miss the flowers. Its reputation is to temper the mind.

Every time he went there, Lin Zhan was full of complaints.

He was a young and energetic young man, and he could only watch but not eat. It was really uncomfortable to hold back.

"Dad, where is the Flower House? Can I go?"

At this moment, a clear child's voice sounded, causing the originally joyful atmosphere to stagnate.

Yang Zhengshan's face froze.

Yu Qingyi glared at Yang Zhengshan fiercely, still not satisfied, and slapped Yang Zhengshan on the shoulder.

"Ming Zhao, be good, that place is not a good place, we won't go there!" Yu Qingyi pulled Xiao Ming Zhao over and said.

Yang Zhengshan took a deep breath, the madam was cruel, the beating hurt him.

"Ahem, that place is really not good, children can't go there!"

"You can't go even when you grow up!" Yu Qingyi said.

"Well, I won't go when I grow up!" Yang Zhengshan nodded in agreement, but he couldn't teach the children bad things.

Ming Zhao was not very interested in Hualou. He just heard about Hualou and felt a little strange. When his parents said this, he stopped being curious and turned to look at Lin Zhan.

"Senior Brother Lin, Dad asked you to enlighten me, when will you enlighten me!"

"I know a lot of words now."

Ming Zhao said with some expectation.

The little guy is five years old this year. It is the stage when he is curious about everything and he likes to learn things the most.

The Yang family has a very upright family tradition. There is nothing messy at home. Instead, there are two schools, one for boys and one for girls. Xiao Mingzhao usually runs there to play when he has nothing to do.

That's right, even if he was playing, he didn't know what he was being taught, he just thought it was fun.

And Yang Zhengshan was not in a hurry to teach him martial arts and reading. He felt that it was better for the child to have a complete childhood.

In fact, the children of the Yang family start their enlightenment at the age of six and start practicing martial arts at the age of eight. However, everyone in the family practices martial arts, and sometimes the children will follow suit when they see it, so the time limit is not very strict.

When you are not in school, you can study if you want and play if you want to play. After entering school, you can leave it to the teacher to discipline you.

"Senior brother, can I start enlightening you from tomorrow?" Lin Zhan said as he felt the shyness and embarrassment in his heart and touched Ming Zhao's head.

"Okay, dad, I will start enlightenment with my senior brother tomorrow!" Xiao Mingzhao said with joy on his face.

Yang Zhengshan asked, "Will it affect your studies?"

Lin Zhan came back this year to take part in next year's provincial examination. There will be a general examination after the provincial examination, so he must concentrate on his studies.

"Master, it doesn't matter, it's just enlightenment, and I have always wanted to enlighten my junior brother!" Lin Zhan said.

When he left, Yang Zhengshan asked him to enlighten Ming Zhao. At that time, Yang Zhengshan only talked about it, but he always cared about it.

Yang Zhengshan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, if you want to teach him, teach him. If he affects you, just let him go to school!"

The Yang family's school is the best school in Tenglongwei. Basically, all the official children of Tenglongwei study in the Yang family's school.

It is said to be a Yang family school, but in fact it is more like a school run by the Yang family.

"Okay, Master!" Lin Zhan responded very respectfully.

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and smiled, then said: "Then what do you think about your marriage?"

Lin Zhan has indeed reached the age to get married. Wang Yunqiao is the same age as him and now has two children, but Lin Zhan has not yet gotten married.

Lin Zhan lowered his head and said, "It all depends on Master and Mistress!"

Once a teacher, always a father.

He has long regarded Yang Zhengshan as his father and the Yang family as his home.

When it comes to marriage, one must pay attention to the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, and it is most appropriate for Yang Zhengshan to make the decision for him.

Yang Zhengshan looked at Yu Qingyi next to him and asked, "Whose girl do you think is suitable?"

"Lin Zhan is a scholar. I think it would be more appropriate to find him an official girl. Our Tenglongwei official girl is either already engaged or is still young."

"I heard that the eldest daughter of Mr. Zheng's family is virtuous and virtuous, but I don't know if she is engaged!"

Yu Qingyi said pointedly.

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and fell into deep thought.

There are many things to consider when it comes to marriage, especially since Lin Zhan will take part in the imperial examination in the future and will inevitably embark on the path of civil service, so he must find a good wife for him.

It would be best to provide him with some help for his future official career.

This is not because Yu Qingyi is too snobbish, but because every official family has this consideration.

The Master Zheng Yu Qingyi refers to is Zheng Xiao. Zheng Xiao has a bright future. Now he is only in his thirties and is already the Salt Inspector of Liaodong. When his term is over, he will definitely be promoted and find a job as the Inspector of the Capital. Shi's position is still very easy.

If Lin Zhan had such a father-in-law, he would avoid many detours in the officialdom in the future.

The most important thing is that Zheng Xiao can teach Lin Zhan some unspoken rules in officialdom. In this regard, neither Yang Zhengshan nor Liu Zhe is actually as good as Zheng Xiao.

Yang Zhengshan needs no further explanation. He is a military officer, and he has been on a smooth road. He does not know much about the intrigues in the officialdom.

He always likes to use knives, rather than trying to plot with a group of people.

With his temper, there is no big problem in the army, but among the civil officials, his methods seem a bit cruel and unsuitable for civil officials.

Liu Zhe does not know much about these things. Liu Zhe's character is too pure. Liu Yuanfu saw this clearly and was unwilling to let him serve as an official.

Lin Zhan is very smart, and he has been stable since he was a child. He has his own ideas and is very measured in doing things. It can be said that he is very suitable for the officialdom, but he is a rookie after all, and needs a teacher to familiarize him with the rules of the officialdom.

Yang Zhengshan pondered for a moment, "Let me ask someone to inquire about the situation of the eldest lady of the Zheng family!"

This matter cannot be asked directly to Zheng Xiao, and you must first secretly understand the situation of others.

Is he married? Is his character the same as the rumors? What is his appearance? His physical condition.

All these must be found out in advance. If you ask Zheng Xiao directly, it would be fine if it is suitable. If it is not suitable, it will affect the friendship between the two parties.

"Okay, let Qingxia go to Liao'an Prefecture!" Yu Qingyi nodded in agreement.

"Well! That's it for now. As for the rest, we'll talk about it when there is news!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

After the matter was agreed, everyone started chatting again. Xiao Mingzhao sat next to Lin Zhan and asked questions non-stop. This kid is now full of curiosity about everything. He often heard Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi mention Lin Zhan before, but he had never seen him. When Lin Zhan left, he was still too young to remember anything, so it was not wrong to say that he met Lin Zhan for the first time.
