Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

Yang Zhengshan took a bucket and fetched a few buckets of spiritual spring water to water the spiritual plants, then went to pick some tea leaves and fried more than ten kilograms of tea leaves.

When he came out of the spiritual spring space, it was already evening.

He walked out of the study and went directly back to the main courtyard.

In the main hall of the main courtyard, Yu Qingyi was talking to Wang.

"Dad!"

Seeing Yang Zhengshan coming, Wang quickly stood up to greet him, with a big fat face full of smiles.

Wang has lost some weight in the past two years, but her body is still very wide, and her nobleness has also increased a bit.

A village woman has become a noble lady gorgeously.

"Well, what are you talking about?" Yang Zhengshan sat down and asked casually.

Wang smiled, "We are talking about the young lady of the Zhou family!"

"Zhou family? Elder Zhou?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

There are several Zhou families in Kyoto. The Ningguo Mansion is the Zhou family, Zhou Yunsong's family is also the Zhou family, and the family of Zhou Ruoyun, the former deputy minister of the cabinet, is also the Zhou family.

However, Zhou Ruoyun died two years ago. Now the chief minister of the cabinet is still Song Yuange, and the deputy minister is Zhou Yunsong. At the same time, Zhou Yunsong still serves as the Minister of Personnel.

The Zhou Ge Lao that Yang Zhengshan mentioned refers to Zhou Yunsong's family.

"Yes, it's Zhou Ge Lao's family!" Wang said.

"What happened to the young lady in their family?" Yang Zhengshan asked with some curiosity.

The young lady is the young lady of the Zhou family, referring to Zhou Yunsong's granddaughter.

Yang Zhengshan rarely pays attention to the affairs between these women in the backyard, but he is occasionally curious.

"Today, the Zhou family held a flower-viewing banquet. Many young men and young ladies in Kyoto attended, including the prince of the Duke of Xingguo and Princess Nanhua."

"The young lady of the Zhou family fell in love with the prince of the Duke of Xingguo and wanted to get acquainted with him in private. Unexpectedly, she was rejected by him and was seen by many people!"

"Haha, the Zhou family is in big trouble today!"

Wang smiled with a gloating look on her face.

The women in the backyards of the powerful and officials in Kyoto are also divided into circles. Some are friends, some are not, and many have grudges.

For example, the Yang family is closer to the Duke of Ningguo, the Marquis of Changping, the Marquis of Nanyang, the Marquis of Dongping and other nobles, and are more distant from the women of the civil servants.

Yu Qingyi also has a few close friends, such as the Lin family of the Marquis of Changping. This is a relative, and she and the Lin family often go out together.

Lu Baishu's wife, Li, is also a warrior. She has a similar temperament to Yu Qingyi and they are close.

Wang has a better relationship with Han from the Dongping Marquis's Mansion. Both of them are from farmers and often get together to gossip about the officials' wives in Kyoto.

The circle of women in the backyard is actually generally the same as the circle of men in the front yard. Yu Qingyi and Wang are also close to the families that Yang Zhengshan is close to.

Now the Yang family has been integrated into the noble circle of Kyoto. Whenever a family holds a banquet, they will send an invitation.

Yu Qingyi is okay. She usually doesn't join in the fun. But Wang likes to join in the fun. As long as someone sends an invitation, she will represent the Yang family.

"The prince of the Xingguo Mansion? I heard he is a good person?" Yang Zhengshan said.

"Well, he is very handsome, but a little bookish!" Wang said.

Xingguo Duke Qu Changkong has been guarding the southern border, but he came to Beijing at the end of last year and brought his grandson Qu Shaogong and granddaughter Qu Shaoshang with him.

At the beginning of the year, Qu Changkong returned to Southern Xinjiang, but left Qu Shaogong and Qu Shaoshang in Kyoto.

Needless to say, the purpose was to arrange a marriage.

The Xingguo Mansion had always been a small place. Qu Changkong had only two sons in his life. The eldest son died of illness more than ten years ago, and the second son had only one daughter, Qu Shaoshang.

When Emperor Chengping was in power, he was grateful for Qu Changkong's hard work in guarding Southern Xinjiang, so he canonized Qu Shaoshang as the Princess of Nanhua.

Now Qu Shaogong is nineteen years old, and Qu Shaoshang is fifteen years old, both of them are suitable for marriage.

Yang Zhengshan nodded. He had never met Qu Shaogong, but Qu Shaogong had a great reputation in Kyoto during this period, and was talked about by many people, so he had heard a few of them.

Wang secretly looked at Yang Zhengshan, and seeing that Yang Zhengshan looked calm, he hesitated for a while, but couldn't help saying: "Dad, Wanqing's marriage~~"

Yang Zhengshan felt embarrassed when he heard this.

Back then, he agreed to let Yang Wanqing decide her own marriage, but who knew that Wanqing had been married for three years and there was no movement at all.

Wang was the most anxious because she was worried about her own daughter. Yang Wanqing had not married yet, so Wang was probably the most anxious.

Wang probably blamed Yang Zhengshan, her father-in-law, in her heart.

The key is that Wan Ting is already fourteen years old this year, and it is time to get married. We can't wait for Wan Ting to get married while Wanqing, her elder sister, is still not married.

"Hehe, if Wanqing can't find someone she likes, you can help her find one."

Yang Zhengshan was also helpless. He didn't think so much at the time and thought it was okay to let Wanqing find one herself. Now, Wanqing doesn't care about this at all, which makes him very embarrassed and he doesn't know how to face Wang.

There is no way. She is my biological mother, and as a grandfather, we have to consider her mother's thoughts.

"There are so many young masters in Kyoto, take a look at who is suitable. By the way, there are many young talents in the martial arts hall. Well, I will take a look at them someday."

What else can Yang Zhengshan say? He can only help to look.

It is also difficult to find a good husband for the granddaughter. I don't know what kind of man Wanqing wants.

Now he can't help but urge her to get married.

Wang lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, father."

Humph, father-in-law is just talking but not doing anything. He has said it many times, but he still hasn't found a suitable husband for Wanqing.

Yu Qingyi, who was standing next to him, looked at Yang Zhengshan stroking his beard, with an embarrassed face and gloating in his eyes.

She knew Yang Zhengshan's embarrassment best, and it was not the first time that Wang mentioned this matter.

Yang Zhengshan felt that there was nothing wrong with free love, but he overlooked a problem, that is, free love is prone to older single men and women.

Parents' orders and matchmakers' words, regardless of whether it is a good marriage, at least you can get married, but free love, you may not get married in your lifetime.

As for the relationship between husband and wife, it's really hard to say.

Whether they are inseparable or they are in harmony, in fact, as long as they are stable, it is a good marriage.

Especially in such a feudal society, marriage cannot be forced too much.

Even the couples in the Yang family are not always happy.

As for Yang Mingcheng, who is so honest, can Wang still expect him to do something romantic?

Yang Mingzhi is devoted to official duties, and Li can't expect him to take care of the family in Fuzhou City.

Yang Chengye and Yu are in love, but Yang Chengmao is now a martial arts fanatic, and Xue can only follow him in everything.

There are also those who are married, Yunyan and Jiang He. If Yunyan had a stronger personality, Jiang He's life would not be so stable.

Yunxue and Liang Jinyan have a good relationship, but Liang Jinyan is not a good person now.

Yunqiao and Song Hao, now they are both guards around Zhou Lan. Others are brothers fighting tigers, but they are husband and wife soldiers in battle.

The biggest advantage of the Yang family is that there is no dirty thing in the backyard, everyone is healthy, and even if there are some small conflicts, it will not make people uncomfortable.

So the daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law of the Yang family are all living a good life.

The husbands that Yang Zhengshan found for Yunyan, Yunxue and Yunqiao were good men. They might not be rich, but as long as they were not too demanding, they could live happily.

With the ability of the Yang family, it was not difficult to find a husband for Yang Wanqing. However, because Yang Zhengshan agreed to let Yang Wanqing find one herself, the matter was stuck here, which made it difficult to handle.

After Wang left, Yang Zhengshan sighed, "Wanqing's marriage must be settled as soon as possible. If it goes on like this, Wang will blame me to death!"

"You, you shouldn't have let that girl do whatever she wanted!" Yu Qingyi said.

"She said she wanted to find one herself, but who knew she didn't!" Yang Zhengshan was also wronged.

It was all because of Wanqing. At that time, Yang Zhengshan thought that this girl would be very active in her marriage, but who knew that this girl was not active at all.

Seeing Yang Zhengshan's aggrieved look, Yu Qingyi couldn't help it anymore and burst out laughing.

"I've never seen the Marquis look so aggrieved! Hehehe~~"

Qingxia and Hongyun beside him also covered their mouths and laughed.

Yang Zhengshan snorted, "Tomorrow I will find a husband to marry Wanqing!"

...

The next morning.

Yang Zhengshan rode to the Martial Arts Pavilion early.

If you want to say where there are the most young talents in Kyoto, it must be the Imperial College and the Martial Arts Pavilion.

But the Imperial College is full of scholars, Yang Zhengshan doesn't like them, and the young talents in the Martial Arts Pavilion are all warriors, barely worthy of his attention.

When he came to the Martial Arts Pavilion, he happened to catch up with the morning exercises of the disciples of the Martial Arts Pavilion, more than a thousand people were practicing martial arts in the training ground.

Yang Zhengshan did not instruct his disciples today, but wandered among the disciples, looking left and right.

"Well, this one is good, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a heroic figure! What's his name?"

"This one is also good, and seems to be from the Haining Marquis's Mansion."

"This one, no, the family tradition of the Zhengyang Marquis's Mansion is not good, and the whole family is playboys, unreliable!"

The disciples of the martial arts pavilion felt that Master Wu Zheng was strange today. In the past, Master Wu Zheng would come over to instruct everyone, but why did Master Wu Zheng just stare at everyone today?

Just as Yang Zhengshan was observing the disciples, Jiang He came over and asked curiously, "What is the Marquis looking at?"

"I want to see who is a good match for my Wanqing!" Yang Zhengshan replied casually.

Jiang He was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed, "Dad is going to pick a husband for Wanqing?"

His voice was not small, and many disciples around heard it.

When the disciples heard this, their eyes lit up.

Master Wu Zheng is going to pick a husband for the girl in his family?

Here comes the opportunity!

"Ha~~"

A disciple's body trembled, and the long sword in his hand swung with extra force.

With a whoosh, another disciple holding a long sword flew past Yang Zhengshan like an arrow.

Another disciple directly blocked Yang Zhengshan not far away and waved a long spear.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Zhengshan and Jiang He were surrounded by swords and shadows. If someone who didn't know the situation saw this, they would think they were besieged by the disciples.

Yang Zhengshan glared at Jiang He, "Keep your voice down!"

Jiang He looked around with an embarrassed face and smiled awkwardly.

"Didn't Dad say that Wanqing should find a husband by herself?" He said in a low voice.

Yang Zhengshan was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned to walk towards the pavilion not far away. He felt that it was not enough to just look at people, but also to look at the files of these disciples.

Well, he just saw a few good candidates.

However, he didn't know that as soon as he left, a group of disciples began to discuss.

"Master Wu Zheng is looking for a husband for the girl in his family!"

"Really or not?"

"Of course it's true. Lord Master Bo just said it himself, and we all heard it!"

"Does Mr. Wu Zheng have any young ladies of the right age?"

"I know that there are two young ladies in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion who have reached the age of marriage. One is the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter. She is eighteen years old this year, but she has never said marriage. The other is the eldest daughter of the second eldest daughter. She is not yet married this year. "

"The eldest daughter of the eldest son should be Miss Wanqing. Come on, don't think about it!"

"Brother Lin, why is this?" A handsome young man asked curiously.

Lin Jungan waved the long sword in his hand, looked at the classmates around him, and said with a smile: "Miss Wanqing is eighteen years old this year, but she is already an acquired martial artist. How can you, a mediocre person, be worthy of her?"

"You will be a martial artist at the age of eighteen!" Everyone exclaimed.

"The youngest acquired martial artist in our acting martial arts pavilion seems to be Guo Ziqiao!"

"Guo Ziqiao only broke through to the acquired realm when he was nearly 20 years old. He is far behind Miss Wanqing!"

"This~~"

Everyone was silent for a while.

Then someone asked: "Whose son in Kyoto is worthy of Miss Wanqing!"

"It's difficult, it's difficult, it's difficult!" Lin Junqian sighed with regret: "In terms of martial arts talent, almost no one in Kyoto can compare with the young masters and ladies of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion!"

Although the Marquis of Jing'an has been keeping a low profile in Beijing in recent years, with Yang Chengye, Yang Chengmao and others rarely socializing in diplomacy, many people still know that the Yang family members are all talented warriors.

In other families, becoming a warrior at the age of fifteen would be a genius, but in the Yang family, becoming a warrior at the age of fifteen has become a common thing. It would be strange if someone has not become a warrior at the age of fifteen.

"That's not necessarily true. Martial arts talent can't compare, but others can still compare. The Marquis of Jing'an is not the top dignitary in Kyoto!" someone said.

Someone's eyes lit up in the crowd, yes, when it comes to martial arts talent, few people can match Miss Yang's, but when it comes to family background, there are many noble children here whose background is no worse than that of the Marquis of Jing'an.

Some people have already thought about it, and some are already ready to take action.

Neither Yang Zhengshan nor Jiang He expected that just an unintentional remark would cause a lot of excitement in the Yang family.

At this time, Yang Zhengshan was looking through the files of many disciples in the library of Yanwu Pavilion. He selected a few files that looked good and took them home.

"Come on, what do you think of these young men?"

Back at the mansion, Yang Zhengshan immediately found Yu Qingyi and placed a stack of files in front of Yu Qingyi.

"What is this?" Yu Qingyi picked up a file and opened it.

"The young talents in Yanwu Pavilion are all not yet married," Yang Zhengshan said.

Yu Qingyi looked at the file, "Li Feihe of the Marquis of Haining? This won't work. I heard that he is a bastard."

"A bastard is a bastard, as long as he is a good person!" Yang Zhengshan said.

"The concubine's status in the family is low. Wanqing will definitely be wronged if she marries him!" Yu Qingyi rolled her eyes at him.

Yang Zhengshan thought the same thing, "Then don't want him!"

We don't have to pay attention to family background, but we can't let our granddaughter suffer injustice after getting married.

"Disciples of Wuzhen Taoist Palace? Isn't marriage forbidden in Wuzhen Taoist Palace?" Yu Qingyi looked at another file and asked doubtfully.

Yang Zhengshan was startled, "Uh, I forgot!"

Yu Qingyi rolled her eyes at him again, "Guo Ziqiao, the second young master of Wu Dinghou Mansion, sir, Wu Dinghou is in Yunling Town. Do you want to marry Wanqing to Yunling Town?"

Another roll of the eyes was thrown at Yang Zhengshan, who was scratching his head.

It's not okay to marry far away. Once you get married, you won't be able to see her for several years, no, no, no.

"The Sangzhou Wang family is a scholarly family with too many rules. Wanqing's temperament will definitely not be able to stand it!" Yu Qingyi said.

Yang Zhengshan lowered his head with a look of despair.

Damn it, all of these looked good to him, but none of them seemed suitable.

His appearance, talent, and character are all very good, but the reasons given by Yu Qingyi are also right.

"It's so difficult!" Yang Zhengshan was depressed.

In the past, when the descendants of the Yang family got married, Yang Zhengshan didn't find it difficult, but now that his granddaughter wants to find a husband, Yang Zhengshan suddenly finds it difficult.

This is not appropriate, and that is not appropriate.
