Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

Time entered May.

The Marquis' Mansion was decorated with lights and was full of joy.

On the fifth day of May, Yang Chengye got married. As the eldest grandson of the Marquis' Mansion, Yang Chengye's wedding was naturally the most important thing for the Marquis' Mansion.

In late April, the Yu family's carriages had already arrived at Chongshan Pass to prepare for the upcoming wedding.

On the first day of May, Dongping Marquis Yu Yuanzan, his eldest son Yu Mingzhou, and his eldest grandson Yu Zicheng arrived at Chongshan Pass.

After Emperor Yanping ascended the throne, the next month he made the Crown Princess Yu the empress. At the same time, Yu Yuanzan was granted the title of Dongping Marquis, with an annual salary of 3,000 stones, which was given to three generations. He was appointed as Ronglu Doctor and the Deputy Governor of the Front Military Governor's Office.

What is called soaring to the sky? This is soaring to the sky.

From an unknown thousand households, he became the Deputy Governor of the Front Military Governor's Office and was named Dongping Marquis.

Yang Zhengshan had fought on the battlefield for more than ten years, but he was only the Marquis of Jing'an and the deputy governor of the Central Military Governor's Office. Yu Yuanzan had the same title and official position as Yang Zhengshan just because he had a good daughter.

Thinking about it, Yang Zhengshan felt wronged.

Of course, Yu Yuanzan and Yang Zhengshan were still incomparable. Yu Yuanzan's official position was just a sinecure, and the court did not expect him to do anything practical, while Yang Zhengshan was the general of Chongshan Town with real power.

The south gate of Chongshan Pass.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the slowly approaching team with his eyes slightly narrowed.

This team was a bit simple, with only twelve carriages, two of which were for people to ride, and the rest were carriages for pulling goods.

However, the guards consisted of more than 300 people, and they all looked elite.

This team seemed a bit contradictory. Two extremely ordinary carriages were not worthy of the Dongping Marquis's Mansion at all, and the 300 elite soldiers guarding the Dongping Marquis's Mansion filled up the face.

In fact, considering the background of the Yu family, it is normal that the team is simple. After all, the Yu family was only a thousand households before, and it was only more than half a year since they were granted the title of Marquis of Dongping.

Apart from the rewards from Emperor Yanping and the Queen, the Yu family has almost no background to speak of.

As for the guards, they should have been specially arranged by the Queen.

When the team came closer, Yang Zhengshan saw Yu Yuanzan, who was gray-haired and dressed simply.

"Brother Yu!" Yang Zhengshan hurried forward and greeted him with a fist.

Yu Yuanzan was in good health. Although he was already sixty years old, he looked very agile and jumped off the horse directly.

"Lord Yang!" Yu Yuanzan returned the greeting with a fist.

Yang Zhengshan laughed, "Brother Yu, you are being so distant with me now. We are a family from now on, so we can't be estranged!"

Yu Yuanzan looked at Yang Zhengshan, who had black hair and beard, ruddy face and sturdy body, and smiled on his weathered face, "Brother Yang is right, we are a family from now on!"

The Yu family is willing to accept the marriage with the Yang family.

Before knowing the Yang family, Yu Yuanzan actually did not approve of his granddaughter marrying into a marquisate. As the saying goes, once you enter a marquisate, it is like entering a deep sea. He knows his granddaughter.

His granddaughter is not a lady from a noble family. She has been running wild in the countryside since she was a child. She has never learned any rules. Letting her marry into a noble family with strict rules may be harmful to her.

But after knowing the Yang family, he felt that the Yang family was a good match.

The Yang family, like the Yu family, came from the lower class. In fact, the Yang family was not as good as the Yu family before. The Yang family was just a farmer, while the Yu family was at least a thousand households.

The two families both came from the lower class and were both granted the title of Marquis. They had many things in common.

However, Yu Yuanzan felt guilty in front of Yang Zhengshan. Yang Zhengshan was granted the title of Marquis of Jing'an based on his real military exploits, while he was granted the title of Marquis because of his daughter.

As a warrior and a military officer, he felt ashamed when facing a battlefield warrior like Yang Zhengshan.

"Brother Yu, please!" Yang Zhengshan laughed and welcomed Yu Yuanzan into the city.

Yang Zhengshan was very welcoming to Yu Yuanzan's arrival, so he specially prepared a banquet to welcome him.

At the banquet, Yang Zhengshan and Yu Yuanzan talked about many state and family affairs.

Through chatting, Yang Zhengshan had some understanding of the character of the Marquis of Dongping.

How to describe the Marquis of Dongping?

Very simple!

Very strong-willed.

He had neither the arrogance of a poor boy who had suddenly become rich nor the idea of ​​using his power to suppress others. Instead, he was a little restrained when facing Yang Zhengshan.

The Yu family's education is also good. Although it seems that they have violated some rules, it is actually a manifestation of simplicity.

For example, Yu Mingzhou, his temperament is similar to Yang Mingcheng, and he is so simple that it makes people headache.

Yu Zicheng is straightforward, not as simple as his father.

Knowing the temperament of everyone in the Yu family, Yang Zhengshan is more satisfied with the marriage of the Yu family.

At the banquet, Yang Mingcheng and Yu Mingzhou, the two in-laws, are like-minded. The two iron fools soon became brothers and even drank with each other.

"Brother Yu, this is Baicao Niang, the top Baicao Niang. My father is reluctant to take it out on weekdays. You are lucky today. Come on, drink a few more cups!"

Yang Mingcheng held the wine jar and poured Yu Mingzhou one cup after another.

Then, Yu Mingzhou got drunk and got under the table.

Yang Mingcheng was a little dumbfounded.

He looked up at Yang Zhengshan, who glared at him fiercely.

"You fool!"

"Well, I didn't expect Brother Yu to be so intoxicated!" Yang Mingcheng said foolishly.

Yang Zhengshan really wanted to strangle this fool to death.

Although the alcohol content of Baicao Niang is not high, this top-grade Baicao Niang was carefully brewed by him, and many special herbs were added to it, which is the easiest to get drunk.

And Yu Mingzhou's cultivation level is not high, so he can only drink a pound of this high-quality Baicao Niang at most.

As for Yang Mingcheng, haha, he can drink it as water.

The two were drinking together, and it was obvious that Yang Mingcheng was bullying him.

"Brother Yu, you don't know etiquette, brother Yu, don't blame me!" What else could Yang Zhengshan say but to apologize to Yu Yuanzan.

Yu Yuanzan smiled and said, "Brother Yang is very good at teaching his children. I really envy Yu!"

Compared with the Yang brothers, his son is undoubtedly much worse.

Even though Yang Mingcheng is a naive person, Yang Mingcheng has a high level of cultivation.

Not to mention the calm Yang Minghao sitting next to him.

In the past, Yang Minghao's temperament was a little out of control, and he was always out of shape. But now that Yang Minghao is a father of three children and is still a general in the army, his temperament has become much calmer, and he also has a sense of power. , people cannot ignore it.

Just looking at his appearance, Yang Minghao is more powerful than Yang Mingzhi. The reason for this is that Yang Minghao is stronger and has a powerful aura. And Yang Mingzhi is a little thinner. Although his cultivation is one level higher than Yang Minghao, he is not as powerful as Yang Minghao.

Among the three brothers of the Yang family, Yang Minghao is actually the most similar to Yang Zhengshan.

No matter in terms of body shape, appearance, or the majestic aura, Yang Minghao looked very much like Yang Zhengshan.

This is actually Yang Minghao deliberately imitating Yang Zhengshan.

I am so powerful that I naturally become a role model for my children.

Yang Mingcheng is definitely not someone who can be imitated, and Yang Mingzhi's body shape and appearance follow his mother's. Only Yang Minghao looks like Yang Zhengshan and has always been with Yang Zhengshan. Even if he doesn't deliberately imitate, he will unconsciously do so. Learn from Yang Zhengshan.

Regardless of whether he was Yang Mingcheng or Yang Minghao, Yu Yuanzan was extremely envious.

The foundation of the Yu family is shallow, and his own achievements are limited, resulting in the descendants of the Yu family not having any great achievements.

Compared with the Yang family, the Yu family is not even a little bit worse.

"Shibo, let me help Brother Yu go down to rest first!" Yang Minghao stood up and said.

"Then it's troublesome for Sanlang!" Yu Yuanzan said: "Zicheng, go take care of your father!"

"Yes!" Yu Zicheng responded quickly.

After the banquet, everyone in the Yu family did not live in the Hou Mansion, but in the courtyard that the Yu family purchased in the city.

Yang Zhengshan personally sent Yu Yuanzan back to the Yu family's yard.

In the following days, everyone in the Yang family was busy with Yang Chengye's marriage. Even Yang Zhengshan had to put aside his official duties and get busy getting married to Yang Chengye first.

Fortunately, the Yang family has held many happy events in recent years. Yang Yunxue got married, Wang Yunqiao got married, and Lin Zhan got married. The servants have long been familiar with organizing happy events, and they are all familiar with all the rules and etiquette.

Coupled with Yu Qingyi and Wang's management, what Yang Zhengshan really needs to do is actually entertain Yu Yuanzan.

Both of them are grandfathers, so Yang Zhengshan must entertain Yu Yuanzan in person.

The time soon came to the fifth day of May.

Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi got up early. After breakfast, Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi came to the front hall and looked at Yang Chengye, who was dressed in a happy dress.

My grandson is getting married, and maybe I can have a great-grandchild next year.

For a moment, Yang Zhengshan suddenly felt that he was old!

In the past, the house was full of children and grandchildren, but in the future, I am afraid that the house will be full of great-grandchildren!

Thinking of a group of little kids surrounding him and calling him grandpa, Yang Zhengshan always felt a little uncomfortable.

Counting his age, he is only fifty-two years old now.

If calculated based on his age in his previous life, he was actually only forty-two.

A forty-year-old man is like a flower, but my flower is a bit senior.

Seeing that Yang Mingcheng and Wang were still talking to Yang Chengye, Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but interrupt: "Okay, it's time to set off, don't miss the right time!"

"Grandpa, grandma, I'll go first!" Yang Chengye said.

"Yeah! Go ahead!" Yang Zhengshan nodded.

Yang Chengye walked out of the Hou Mansion amidst the sound of blowing and beating, and then, surrounded by a group of servants, he rode towards the Yu family's yard.

Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi were sitting in the main hall, waiting for Yang Chengye to marry their granddaughter-in-law.

Mrs. Wang couldn't sit still, and ran out to look in the direction of the door from time to time.

"Oh, why aren't you here yet?"

"Sister-in-law, don't be anxious, the time has not come yet!" Ms. Li said with a smile.

Mrs. Liang also laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, this is her first time being a mother-in-law, so she is a little inexperienced!"

"Do you have experience?" Mrs. Wang glared at Ms. Liang angrily.

Liang chuckled and said, "I have no experience, but I have been learning from my mother. When Chengyou grows up, I will learn it!"

"Yes, we have to learn from mother!" Mrs. Li helped and asked Yu Qingyi in a flattering manner: "Mother, are you right?"

"No matter what, you are about to become a mother-in-law, so you can't be steady!" Yu Qingyi scolded unceremoniously.

However, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Liang were not afraid of his scolding at all. They were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at any time, but they didn't have many rules on weekdays and they were always talking and laughing.

And Yu Qingyi wasn't really scolding them, he was just pretending to be a mother-in-law.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Liang discussed how to be a good mother-in-law.

Wang would interrupt from time to time, and look out the door anxiously from time to time.

Yang Zhengshan ignored their gossip and just sat on the main seat, drinking tea leisurely.

This should be the most leisurely time for him during this period, and it will also be the last time he can take a break for a long time in the future.

Today, Yang Zhengshan put aside all those annoying things and just became a grandfather waiting for his grandson and granddaughter-in-law to come to the wedding.

The wedding procession left for an hour and a half and returned with music and drums.

The bride's dowry was not much, only 64 loads of dowry, most of which were ordinary things, but there were also many valuable jewelry and land and four shops.

The land was in the county town around Kyoto, and the shop was in Kyoto.

Obviously, this should be prepared by the Queen for the bride.

With the help of the Queen, the dowry of the Yu family did not seem shabby.

The wedding went smoothly. Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi sat in the main seats, and Yang Mingcheng and Wang sat on both sides of them to witness the wedding.
