The Rich And Honorable Chang An

Chapter 62

Almost all the people in the Great Xiao Dynasty, one of the places they yearned for most was definitely their capital. Xu Changan lived in the capital since he was a child, but the place he yearned for the most was Fengzhou, which he could only hear about from his mother since he was a child. .

Perhaps because of the unsatisfactory life, Yang became more and more nostalgic for the days when she was in her boudoir.Ever since Xu Changan was young, she would often talk to her son about things in her hometown, the food and beauty there, and her parents and elder brothers who loved her dearly.

From the moment the carriage drove into Fengzhou City, Xu Changan couldn't help but lift the curtain of the carriage. He was eager to see what this place he had been yearning for for a long time looked like.

"Young master, you are from the capital city. Why do you look like a countryman who has never seen the world?" Xiao Qingyan was amused by Xu Changan's appearance. He seemed to find everything new and interested. Could it be that when he was in the Xu family, his father kept him in the mansion all day long?

"This is the place where my mother grew up. I have heard my mother say that Toyosu has a pleasant climate all year round, and there are many wonderful sights and delicacies. I am curious. Oh yes, I don't know my grandfather The address of the house, but I know the names of my grandfather and a few uncles, and the Yang family is a big family here, so we should be able to find out if we inquire about it.” When he was young, Xu Chang’an would only be curious when he heard his mother mention things about the family and longing, but after growing up and being sensible, he only has questions in his mind.My mother came from a good background, and she didn't look like a fool, why did she not get in touch with her natal family because of Xu Yongnian.

Not only the Xu family, but Xiao Qingyan had already found out about the Yang family in Fengzhou a long time ago.The Yang family can be said to be a scholarly family, and there have been many high-ranking officials in the ancestors, but in recent years, the Yang family has not produced any promising heirs, and now the highest position in the court is only a magistrate.

"Is it because of your mother's business that you came home this trip?" Xiao Qingyan couldn't think of any other reasons besides this.Chang'an's mother, Mrs. Yang, was buried in a small village by Xu Yongnian. Although it belongs to Xu Chang'an now, after Chang'an's New Year's greetings, even if he can go to her tomb with all his heart?

He himself married into the royal family, so it is naturally impossible for him to intervene too much in his mother's affairs, so he can only hope that his mother can be buried in her family's ancestral grave.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qingyan could guess it by herself without revealing it to him at all. Xu Changan didn't look at Xiao Qingyan's expression at this time, but just nodded slightly.

Knowing that this must be the case, Xu Chang'an also gave himself an affirmative answer, but Xiao Qingyan felt a little strange, he always felt that Chang'an's reaction just now seemed a little guilty.

Just as Xu Changan expected, his grandfather Yang's family had lived in this Fengzhou city for a hundred years, almost everyone in the city knew about the Yang family, so they asked a few passers-by on the street, and they soon arrived at the gate of Yang's residence.

Yang's Mansion is different from many high-end courtyards in central Beijing. Its layout is more like Jiangnan forest gardens, and the area is not comparable to that of high-rise families in central Beijing. The entire Yang family occupies an area of ​​more than ten miles.

"How did your mother fall in love with your father back then?" Thinking of Xu Changan's preference for all kinds of scripts, Xiao Qingyan had a ridiculous idea in his mind. Could it be that Yang was brainwashed by stories about rich ladies and poor scholars?

"This mother didn't tell me, but it's probably an innocent girl who doesn't know the world, and was deceived by a jackal who pretends to be a genius." In fact, Xu Changan also thought about why his mother treated her like that later, probably because The things I got and used actually passed by me, and there must be some gaps in my heart that are difficult to smooth out.

The mother's family background is not bad, but after the father and mother happily got married, the mother's natal family directly cut off their relationship, as if there is no mother as a daughter, the father who is relying on the mother's family to rise up is naturally I can't accept it.

"Let's go." Xu Chang'an knew in his heart that if his grandfather's family had taken care of his mother, Xu Yongnian would not have dared to be so blatantly demeaning to his mother, but he did not resent his grandfather's family in his heart.

How can the mother resent her parents if she doesn't know people well?What's more, my grandfather's family was already benevolent and righteous back then!They didn't agree to be satisfied with their daughter's marriage at all, but they still married her in a glorious way and gave her a huge dowry. As for what happens to their daughter after marriage, they can't control it.

"Old man, we are the old friends of the third lady in the house, and we came here specially to visit." The ranking of Yang's house is different from other houses, there is no distinction between men and women, Xu Chang'an's mother is the eldest daughter in the family, but there are two older brothers, Since she was a child, everyone in the manor has called her the third miss instead of the eldest miss.

"You are... Miss San's child?" The old servant of the Yang family has been in the Yang family for decades, watching Yang grow up, and now looking at Xu Changan's face that is very similar to his mother, Xu Changan also claimed to be from Beijing, so he subconsciously thought so.

Unexpectedly, he was recognized by an old servant at a glance. Xu Changan was not without differences, but he was more delighted!

An old slave in the mansion can remember his mother's appearance, so the grandfather and several uncles should still have some affection for his mother!

"Young master, come in, come in! This old slave will take you to see the old man!"

From the moment he walked into the gate of the Yang family, Xu Chang'an couldn't help but wondered after walking only a short distance?What kind of methods did his father, Xu Yongnian, use to make a young lady born in such a family fall in love with him and marry him?

He is used to seeing wealthy and dignified families everywhere in Beijing, but he likes the leisurely and elegant garden in front of him even more.

Although they had already entered the gate of the Yang family, Xu Changan and Xiao Qingyan walked for a long time before finally meeting Xu Changan's grandfather and several uncles.Compared to the calmness and composure of the two of them, the men on the opposite side were obviously much more flustered, and the expressions on everyone's faces were unpredictable, but Xu Changan felt a little relieved whether it was disgust or not.

"Chang'an met my grandfather, uncle..."

"Caomin Yang Yuande, Caomin...has met His Royal Highness Xian Wang." The panic of Xu Changan's grandfather's family was naturally not the arrival of his grandson, but the people accompanying him.Although Fengzhou is far away from the capital, the Yang family still has a son who is the current magistrate, and he will not be ignorant of the affairs of the court. In fact, since the fall of the Daxu family, they began to guess that maybe the only son in the family The grandson will come home.

They didn't know how they knew Xiao Qingyan's identity, Xu Changan saw that they didn't pay any attention to him, but greeted Xiao Qingyan first after he said it.Xiao Qingyan didn't come here as a virtuous king now, so naturally he wouldn't make it difficult for him to maintain his identity in front of them, but he didn't show much enthusiasm for them either, he just said in a light tone that it doesn't matter.

Da Xiao obeyed the rules of heaven, earth, king, relatives and teachers. Xu Changan knew that even though his grandfather and uncle were elders, they were not qualified to ask Xiao Qingyan to behave like a junior to them. Besides, he himself did not want Xiao Qingyan to be a child in front of others. There is no need for the pampered and pampered nobleman to act in front of relatives whom he doesn't care much about.

"Although this king is traveling this time according to the order, it is not done with great fanfare. You don't need to be too polite, and this king doesn't want too many people to know about my itinerary with the princess." Humph!He also said that it is a scholarly family, but there is no former residence at all. He knows how to salute the prince, but what's the matter with leaving the princess aside? !Xiao Qingyan said that there is no need to be too polite, but his expression and tone were completely different, and he specifically mentioned the princess next to him. It was exactly what he said that the Yang family on the opposite side realized that the people standing in front of them are not It's just that their grandson and nephew were still Princess Xian of the Great Xiao Dynasty.

Xu Changan stared at Xiao Qingyan who was next to him. Since he said he wanted to keep a low profile, why did he keep talking about the princesses, for fear that others would not know their identities?

"Caomin was rude! But the prince and concubine must have had a hard time coming from afar, so let's take a rest first. Caomin will ask the servants at home to prepare the yard."

"Grandpa, you don't need to be too polite. In the future, you can just call me Qingyun." Thinking that this name has finally come in handy, Xiao Qingyan didn't want the old man to call him a prince one by one. They still have to stay here for a few days Bar.

"The grassroots dare not!"

"Grandpa, you are an elder, so there is nothing wrong with calling Your Highness by name. I think you probably don't know my name yet. My name is Chang'an. You can call me that in the future." Xu Chang'an was still a little disappointed when he saw him These lovers, but he couldn't feel any kind of closeness in his heart. He thought it might be because of his mother.

Although he understands that his mother's fate is her own choice, but in the end, he still has some resentment towards his grandfather's family who really cruelly ignored his mother. When they meet now, they don't seem to have any affection for him. I couldn't hide the disappointment in my heart.

Living together with Xiao Qingyan in a yard specially prepared for them, after all the servants left, Xu Chang'an let go of his politeness and revealed a slightly disappointed face.

"Don't be unhappy, my father is still unreliable, and you still expect a mother-in-law who can't get through and ask you?" Xiao Qingyan knew that her words might make him sad and sad, but this is the truth, and this is what he wanted him to recognized facts.

"There are too many people in this world. Even family affection is a tool for gaining benefits. For them, there is nothing they should pay." Did the Yang family ruin something good in the family back then?That's why we will end up in the future!The Yang family has a good family background, but Xu Yongnian wouldn't dare to be unscrupulous towards Yang's and Chang'an if they intervened a little after Yang's marriage.

"Your Highness. I seem to..." It's always too naive.I thought I would have my grandfather's family after leaving the palace, I thought that my mother's affairs would be arranged, and I would have relatives I could rely on in Toyosu. Now it seems that I really thought too much!

"It's okay, it's okay." Xiao Qingyan believed that the Yang family would not and would not dare to refuse their request, as long as the Yang family's affairs were settled, they would give the Yang family some benefits at will.

Although the Yang family is a scholarly family, it has not been a high-ranking official for several generations. How long can they maintain their superficial glory with no one in the court?As far as he knew, even the Yang family today could not be compared with what it was 20 years ago. If the Yang family had no one in the official career in the future, their good life would probably come to an end.

"Your Highness, in fact... I am no different from my mother." Xu Chang'an is very clear about the weak side of his temperament. He even hates himself for being so cowardly. He is different from his mother. He is a man, so why should he think about it? On whom?Without my grandfather's family and without Xiao Qingyan, they should live well!
