Early the next morning, when Huai An yelled outside, Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan had already woken up.

After breakfast, Yang Jiming went to the Hanlin Academy to find Shang Jingyao, and Shang Jiayan dealt with last night's affairs in the Chenxiang Academy.

In the main room, Shang Jiayan sat on the main seat, and there were servant girls and servants standing on both sides.

Mother Gu brought Qi Yue in, and then stood beside Shang Jiayan.

As soon as Qiyue came in, she knelt down and shouted: "Young madam, I am wronged! Last night I saw the study light was on, so I sent a bowl of porridge in. If I have evil intentions, why don't I put medicine in the porridge?"

Shang Jiayan was silent, indeed, there was no medicine in the porridge.Huai'an had already reported to him this morning, and the doctor's inspection results showed that there was nothing unusual in the bowl of porridge.

Gu's mother said from the side: "Young madam, you must not soften your heart. In the middle of the night, a young man who had taken pregnancy medicine entered the study room privately and was alone with the third young master. This matter cannot be tolerated."

Qi Yue begged for mercy: "Young madam, I didn't mean it, I don't dare to do it again, please forgive me this time!"

Shang Jiayan glanced around the room, except for the closest people around him who stared fiercely at Qi Yue, everyone else held their breath and lowered their heads.

This is the first time he has punished a servant after marrying into the Hou's Mansion, and everyone in Chenxiangyuan is watching.If the punishment is heavy, everyone will feel that he is cruel to his servants.If the punishment is light, I'm afraid that other people will follow suit and not take him seriously.

"I can't keep you by my side anymore. I think you are the first offender. I will send someone to send you back to the Shang Mansion."

Hearing this, Qi Yue hurriedly kowtowed and begged: "No, Young Madam, please don't send me back, Madam will not spare me."

"What's wrong ma'am?"

Ms. Liu walked in with a look of curiosity and watching a show. Behind her was the boy in charge of guarding the gate, with a bitter face and did not dare to look up.

Mother Liu glanced at the battle in the room, first saluted Shang Jia, and then said: "The third young lady is reprimanding the servants, it seems that I came at the wrong time."

Shang Jiayan said in a flat tone: "The servant is ignorant, and he punished slightly, which made Liu's mother laugh."

"Don't dare, Da Furen sent me to send a message, please come to the main courtyard to speak with the Third Young Madam." Mama Liu's attitude was a bit more respectful than just now, the Third Young Madam was using this to warn her that he is not weak and can be bullied of.

Shang Jiayan nodded, "I see. The matter of spreading the word is only a little girl, and I troubled Mother Liu to come here herself."

"I'm also afraid that the people below will be ignorant and offend the third young lady."

Shang Jiayan said: "Mother Liu, let's go to the main courtyard now."

"Hey, okay, Third Young Madam, please."

Shang Jiayan got up and straightened his clothes, then went outside.Mother Gu gave Ziyu Zilan a wink, and the second waiter quickly followed.

When Mother Liu walked out of the yard, she looked back and saw that the boy kneeling on the ground was being dragged with his mouth covered.Mama Liu looked forward at Shang Jiayan, who was standing upright, and suddenly felt that the backyard of the Hou Mansion would only become more and more lively in the future.

In the main courtyard, besides the eldest lady and the eldest young lady, there is another lady.

After Shang Jiayan saw the ceremony, the eldest lady asked him to sit down.

Mrs. Wu Ninghou said with a loud smile: "The third young lady really looks beautiful."

The eldest lady said to Shang Jiayan: "This is my natal sister-in-law, Mrs. Wu Ninghou."

"I met Mrs. Jiang."

"Hey, the third young lady is being polite."

The eldest lady smiled and said: "Jiayan, I asked you to come here because I want you to help a staff officer talk about marriage with Zhongming."

Shang Jiayan saw the happy faces of the three of them, and he knew that the eldest lady must have found a marriage for Yang Zhongming, and the woman had already given her confidence.

"I don't know what I can do, please tell my mother."

"For Zhongming, I have chosen the Fourth Miss of Dingguo Duke's Mansion. My sister-in-law went to check on Mrs. Peng. There is a great possibility that this will happen."

"The lady of the Duke's Mansion must be virtuous and virtuous, and the mother's vision is not bad." Shang Jiayan lowered his eyes and complimented, and couldn't help worrying about Yang Zhongming and Jiang Yueran who had met once.

The eldest lady laughed, and said: "The Fourth Miss Peng is beautiful and intelligent, she is the daughter of Ding Guogong, and she is just right for Zhongming."

Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Eldest Young Madam repeatedly echoed.

The eldest lady said to Shang Jiayan: "Duke Dingguo's mansion sent someone to send an invitation card today, and the old lady in their mansion is about to celebrate her [-]th birthday. Your sister-in-law is pregnant, so I let her stay in the mansion. This time You accompany me to the banquet, and help me take care of the ladies who go with us."

"Yes."

Mrs. Wu Ninghou said with a smile: "The third young lady seems to be a safe person."

Shang Jiayan continued to talk with them, until the eldest and young lady couldn't sit still, and then they retreated together.

After leaving the main courtyard, Shang Jiayan sighed in his heart, as if he had expected a lot of troubles to come.

Wumuhou Mansion, Wuninghou Mansion, and Wu Yibo Mansion, the ancestors of the three families were all founding heroes and were hereditary marquises who were conferred together.Moreover, Wu Ninghou and Wu Yibo are still of the same clan.

However, Wu Yibo of the previous generation was demoted for corruption, and changed from a marquis to an earl.Since then, Wu Yibo's mansion has gradually declined, and at this time it is already in the declining aristocratic class.

It has been more than ten years since Wuninghou Mansion and Wu Yibo Mansion have cut off ties, and Wumuhou Mansion, which has an in-law relationship with Wuninghou Mansion, naturally does not have any contact with Wu Yibo Mansion.

Under such circumstances, it may not be easy for Yang Zhongming to marry the lady of Wu Yibo's mansion.

However, Dingguogong's mansion is a powerful and powerful family. Dingguogong is in charge of the military power of a hundred thousand navy in the southeast, and the eldest daughter of his family is still the present princess.

The eldest lady's intention is clearly to climb the high branch of Duke Dingguo's mansion.On the contrary, it is strange that Dingguo's mansion would agree to marry the daughter-in-law to the second son of Wumuhou's mansion.

On the other side, Yang Jiming came to the Imperial Academy.

Shang Jingyao invited him into the side hall for entertaining guests, and looked at Yang Jiming's embarrassed expression calmly.

"You came to look for me today because of that painting, right? If you really can't find that painting, forget it." Although it's a pity, Shang Jingyao doesn't want to embarrass his nephew and son-in-law even more.

"Second uncle, in fact, the painting has already been found."

"Really? What about painting?" Shang Jingyao asked in surprise.

"The painting is in the hands of Hu Xiaoyang."

"Hu Xiaoyang? Surname Hu?"

Yang Jiming nodded: "He is the son of Hu Haiyang."

Shang Jingyao was stunned for a while, and then smiled overjoyed and said, "I didn't expect Hu Xiandi's son to be alive."

"Second uncle, what's going on?"

"Hu Xiandi was a candidate for the last imperial examination. He was a late bloomer. You Shan Danqing was the one who gave me that painting. With his talent, it is not difficult to get a Jinshi. He entered the Hanlin Academy to help compile books."

Shang Jingyao let out a long sigh, and continued: "It's a pity that he disappeared before the exam. I sent people to search everywhere, but there was no trace of him. Later, I also sent people to search for him in his hometown, but found He never went back, and his wife is dead and his only son is missing."

Yang Jiming frowned slightly, thinking: According to the formula, Hu Haiyang has either been killed by someone because someone is jealous of his talent.Or it is to cling to a high branch, change your name and surname, change your appearance, abandon your wife and children, and start another family.

"Ji Ming, where is Hu Xiandi's child now?"

"He went to Beijing to find his father two years ago, and has stayed in the capital since then."

"Take me to see him!" Shang Jingyao said anxiously.

Yang Jiming pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
