Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

Yang Zhengshan hurriedly came to Yang Wanqing's small courtyard. Several little girls in the courtyard were chattering. When they saw him coming, they quickly stood up to greet him.

"Greetings to the Marquis!"

"Um!"

Yang Zhengshan smiled and nodded. His eyes fell on Yang Wanqing first. Seeing that she was really not injured, he then looked at the others.

He knew both Liang Qiuyue and Lu Ningke. Although he had only met them a few times, he had many impressions.

It was his first time meeting Qu Shaoshang. The little girl looked petite and cute, with a pair of big bright eyes that were very smart.

"Grandpa, this is Princess Nanhua!" Yang Wanqing introduced.

Qu Shaoshang bowed and said, "Shao Shang pays homage to Grandpa Yang!"

"It turns out to be Princess Nanhua. Just hope everything is fine!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

Although he had no friendship with Duke Xingguo, Yang Zhengshan naturally welcomed the visitor with a smile.

"Today something happened unexpectedly. Shao Shang has no choice but to come and disturb Grandpa Yang. Please forgive me!" Qu Shaoshang said politely.

Yang Zhengshan casually chatted with her for a few words, told Yang Wanqing to entertain her well, and left.

A group of little girls were talking together, and it wasn't appropriate for him to stay here.

About an hour later, Ding Qiu returned from Cangyuan Lake.

In the study, Ding Qiu reported to Yang Zhengshan: "The people from Shangwu Temple have passed by. Apart from a dozen people injured on the Cangyuan Lake side, they didn't leave many traces!"

"The identity of the assassin was not found?" Yang Zhengshan asked in surprise.

Ding Qiu shook his head, "No, the assassin only left some arrows, and nothing else. Several people died at that time, and the bodies were taken away by the assassin!"

Yang Zhengshan was thoughtful.

Assassinating Qu Shaogong is no small matter.

Qu Shaogong is the eldest son of Duke Xingguo, and he is also the only grandson of Duke Xingguo Qu Changkong. If Qu Shaogong dies, Duke Xingguo's family will probably be extinct.

As for who will assassinate Qu Shaogong, it's really hard to say.

Xingguo Gongfu has guarded Nanjiang for six generations. About two hundred years ago, Xingguo Gongfu has been in charge of Nanjiang Town, and now Xingguo Gongfu has been in charge of Nanjiang for six generations.

The main enemy that Nanjiang Town faces is the Jinlong Dynasty, and the Xingguo Palace and the Jinlong Dynasty also have a feud. It is not impossible to say that the Jinlong Dynasty sent people to assassinate Qu Shaogong.

As for other possibilities, Yang Zhengshan could not think of them for a while.

However, it would be better to investigate this matter. After all, Yang Wanqing is involved.

"Ask Wu Zheng to check and see if he can find any clues!" Yang Zhengshan ordered.

"Yes!" Ding Qiu responded.

…

Towards evening, Qu Shaogong came to the Yang family.

In the front hall, Yang Zhengshan personally received Qu Shaogong.

It's not that Qu Shaogong needs him to come forward to receive him in person. In fact, it's okay to let Yang Mingcheng and Yang Chengye receive him. It's just because Yang Zhengshan wanted to know more about the Cangyuan Lake assassination, so he came forward in person.

"Qu Shaogong, the grandson of Duke Xingguo, pays homage to Marquis Jing'an!" Qu Shaogong bowed and bowed.

Yang Zhengshan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite, please sit down!"

The two sat down and tea was served. Yang Zhengshan looked at Qu Shaogong.

The eldest son of Duke Xingguo's palace looks pretty good. Although he is a little thin, he has a tough temperament and is not a submissive person.

Yang Zhengshan was sizing up Qu Shaogong, and Qu Shaogong was also sizing up Yang Zhengshan secretly.

He didn't know much about Yang Zhengshan. After all, he had always been in southern Xinjiang and had only been in Kyoto for half a year. Although he had long heard about the upstart Jing'an Hou Mansion in Kyoto, this was his first time meeting with the Jing'an Hou Mansion. deal with.

"Have the identities of those assassins been found out?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Qu Shaogong put down the tea bowl and said seriously: "No, but I think it should be sent by the Jinlong Dynasty."

"Oh! The Jinlong Dynasty is so bold?" Yang Zhengshan was slightly surprised.

Qu Shaogong said: "Jing'an Marquis may not know that my grandfather had a great feud with the royal family of the Jinlong Dynasty. Thirty years ago, the Jinlong Dynasty invaded Nanjiang Town, and my grandfather fought a big battle with them, and also fought against them. Kill the former crown prince of the Jinlong Dynasty!"

"More than ten years ago, the Jinlong Dynasty attempted to assassinate my grandfather, but my grandfather set a trap. As a result, an innate warrior from the Jinlong royal family was left behind in Nanhua City."

"Since then, the Jinlong royal family has become increasingly weak, and the Jinlong dynasty has become increasingly chaotic."

"After the old king passed away, the new king inherited the throne, but his hatred for my grandfather became even stronger. In the past two years, I have been assassinated many times by the Jinlong Dynasty. My grandfather had no choice but to send me to Kyoto!"

Yang Zhengshan suddenly realized that no wonder Duke Xingguo left his grandchildren in Kyoto years ago. It turned out to be because of the assassination by the Jinlong Dynasty.

"So, this Jinlong Dynasty is really abominable!"

Qu Shaogong smiled warmly and said: "The Jinlong Dynasty is indeed hateful. They actually dared to commit crimes near Kyoto, but this time they also angered His Majesty. Your Majesty has ordered the Secret Military Guards and Shangwu Temple to thoroughly investigate the assassins of the Jinlong Dynasty. ”

"Thanks to Miss Wanqing this time, if she hadn't acted righteously, I would have risked my life in Cangyuan Lake!"

After saying that, he stood up and bowed to Yang Zhengshan to express his gratitude, "This junior will remember the life-saving grace in his heart. If he is asked to do anything in the future, he will definitely not refuse!"

Yang Zhengshan smiled and waved his hand, "It's just a small effort, there is no need for this. Duke Xingguo guards the southern border for the court, protects the stability of the country, and the hard work is great. Wanqing just did a little bit of what he should do, it doesn't count!"

Qu Shaogong took out a gift list, handed it to Yang Zhengshan, and said: "How can I forget the grace of saving my life, but for the moment, I don't know how to thank you, so I can only prepare a small thank you gift to express my gratitude. Please don't refuse it, Marquis Jing'an!"

Yang Zhengshan was stunned.

Thank you gift!

This was something he didn't expect.

However, he still took the gift list, looking at the things on the gift list, his eyes flashed slightly.

"In this case, then I will accept it for Wanqing!"

Wanqing helped after all, and other things can be given up, but this thank you gift can still be accepted.

Seeing Yang Zhengshan accept the gift list, Qu Shaogong felt a little relieved.

Then, Yang Zhengshan asked someone to bring Qu Shaoshang to send the brother and sister away.

Looking at Qu Shaogong's back as he left, Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and thought about it.

This Qu Shaogong is a good young man, but it's a pity that he came from the Xingguo Mansion, otherwise he could consider whether he and Yang Wanqing are suitable.

The Duke of Xingguo's Mansion is far away in Nanjiang Town. If Yang Wanqing marries there, it will be too far.

Before, Yang Zhengshan chose Guo Ziqiao from the Marquis of Wuding Mansion, but Yu Qingyi thought it was too far, not to mention the Duke of Xingguo Mansion.

The Marquis of Wuding Mansion may be able to return to Beijing in a few years, but the Duke of Xingguo Mansion will be stationed in Nanjiang Town forever. If she marries there, she may not see them for a long time in her life.

Moreover, the Duke of Xingguo Mansion is facing a lot of troubles. The Jinlong Dynasty will definitely not give up. Maybe one day this Qu Shaogong will die.

Yang Zhengshan shook his head with some regret, turned around and walked back to the front yard. Looking at the thank-you gifts all over the yard, he searched inside and found a white jade box.

The reason why he helped Yang Wanqing accept this thank-you gift was because there was a precious medicine in this thank-you gift that he needed.

Firework Red Lotus.

No, it was not what he needed, but what Xue Qiaoer needed.

In the past three years, he has exchanged a lot of precious medicines with Baicao Niang, and even has three golden and jade camellias, but he has never found this flame red lotus.

Unexpectedly, Qu Shaogong actually sent it today.

Opening the jade box, there is a ball of fiery red lotus pods in the box.

Yang Zhengshan's mouth curled up slightly, the flame red lotus is full of treasures, lotus roots are rare and delicious ingredients, lotus leaves can also be used as medicine, although not precious medicine, but also rare medicinal materials, even the petals have the effect of nourishing the meridians.

Of course, the most important thing is the lotus seeds in the lotus pod, which have the effect of connecting the meridians, and have similar effects to Sanhuangli, both of which help to condense the innate true qi and break through the innate bottleneck.

What Xue Qiaoer needs is this lotus seed, and I don’t know if Xue Qiaoer has found this flame red lotus. They have been in the Jinlong Dynasty for three years and have not returned yet.

Putting away the Flame Red Lotus, Yang Zhengshan told Lu Shou: "Send these things to Wanqing's yard!"

Since it is a thank-you gift for Yang Wanqing, it should be given to Yang Wanqing. As a grandfather, he is benefiting from his granddaughter today.

Back in the study, Yang Zhengshan took out the lotus pod of the Flame Red Lotus, which had a total of 18 lotus seeds.

With a thought, he entered the Lingquan space.

Of the 18 lotus seeds, six were left for Xue Qiaoer to prepare.

The remaining 12 can be planted in the pond in the Lingquan space.

But now there are some lotus leaves floating in the pond in the space. Twelve unknown lotuses are distributed around the Lingquan, each with three lotus leaves, as crystal clear as jade, and look very pleasing.

It's just that this unknown lotus grows too slowly. In six years, it has only grown three lotus leaves, and the largest lotus leaf is only the size of a palm.

It grows so slowly even in the Lingquan water, and I don't know what kind of treasure it is.

Yang Zhengshan had already gotten used to these unknown lotuses. He just glanced at them and ignored them, and instead planted the lotus seeds of the Flame Red Lotus.

However, this Flame Red Lotus grows in hot springs, and I wonder if it can grow in this spiritual spring.

Yang Zhengshan thought it was not a big problem. The Ice Heart Fruit grew in the cold snowfield, but it still grew well in the spiritual spring space.

The spiritual spring space has the ability to allow plants to ignore the growth environment. Whether it is a spiritual plant or a precious medicine, no matter what kind of growth environment it needs, it can thrive in the spiritual spring space.

…

The assassination of Qu Shaogong caused quite a stir in Kyoto. After all, there were many children of Kyoto dignitaries with Qu Shaogong at that time.

And at that time, many children of dignitaries were affected by this, and there were five or six injured. Although none of them died, they suffered an unprovoked disaster.

For several days, Qu Shaogong ran between many dignitaries to apologize.

Although many people were angry about this, no one blamed Qu Shaogong for it. The key point was that it was useless to blame him. The Xingguo Mansion was not an ordinary noble. Although it was not in Kyoto, no one in Kyoto could despise it.

After the Secret Martial Guard and the Shangwu Temple arrested the assassins of the Jinlong Dynasty, the matter was over.

However, Qu Shaoshang often came to the Jing'an Marquis Mansion to find Yang Wanqing recently. Yang Zhengshan naturally did not pay attention to the socializing between his little daughters. He was still worried about Yang Wanqing's marriage.

I don't know who spread the news that he was choosing a son-in-law for Yang Wanqing. Recently, many people invited matchmakers to the Yang family to inquire about the news.

In just a few days, the threshold of the Yang family was almost trampled flat, making Yu Qingyi and Wang exhausted.

"Hey, which family is this? If this goes on, I can't practice well!"

In the back hall of the main courtyard, Yu Qingyi felt a little upset.

She has been looking for an opportunity to break through to the innate realm during this period, but now it is good. A group of people come to ask for marriage every day, which makes her have to deal with it, and she can't concentrate on practicing.

Yang Zhengshan was also speechless, "You didn't ask Wanqing what she meant?"

"This damn girl, if you ask her, she will tell me to take a look first, and then there will be nothing more to say!" Yu Qingyi was also helpless by Yang Wanqing.

The dead girl is obviously worried, but she always makes excuses.

The couple looked at each other, and then let out a silent sigh at the same time.

This was probably the only thing in the world that could make the two of them feel helpless.

It's funny to think about it. An innate warrior, a half-step innate warrior, is actually so embarrassed by his granddaughter's marriage. Who would believe it.

"That's all, that's all, let nature take its course. That girl can do whatever she wants. Anyway, my husband has said before that she can make her own decisions before she is twenty. After that, I will decide for her! There are only two years left. time."

Yang Zhengshan decided to give up. This matter is really not something you can do whatever you want.

"Then I don't care about you anymore?" Yu Qingyi hesitated.

"Let the boss and his wife take care of it. You can practice well first!" Yang Zhengshan said.

The granddaughter's marriage is important, but the daughter-in-law's cultivation is also important. Now is the critical period for Yu Qingyi to break through to the innate realm, and he cannot delay it because of other things.

…

Originally, Yang Zhengshan had planned to ignore Yang Wanqing's marriage, but later he discovered that something was wrong.

At first, it was just Qu Shaoshang who often came to Yang's house to look for Yang Wanqing. However, at some point, Qu Shaogong also started to go to Yang's house frequently, and often took Qu Shaoshang and Yang Wanqing out to play.

On this day, Yang Zhengshan was preparing to go out to perform at the martial arts pavilion. He happened to see Qu Shaogong and Qu Shaoshang taking Yang Wanqing out again.

Yang Zhengshan stood behind the door of the mansion, watching the three people leaving chatting and laughing, stroking his beard and murmuring: "This kid won't abduct my granddaughter!"

A life-saving grace, promised with one's own body?

"Xingguo Duke's Mansion?"

He was a little hesitant. Although he felt that Qu Shaogong was pretty good, he felt a little dissatisfied if Wanqing really wanted to marry him.

"I won't go to the martial arts pavilion today. You can rest at home!"

Yang Zhengshan said to the few followers around him, and then quietly followed Yang Wanqing and Qu Shaogong. He wanted to see if Yang Wanqing was interested in Qu Shaogong.

After the three of them went out, they went to Zhengyang Street, the busiest street in Kyoto, and then started browsing the shops.

Yang Zhengshan followed them and looked at them smiling and laughing. The more he looked at Yang Zhengshan, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Damn it, this kid really has evil intentions.

The way Qu Shaogong looked at Yang Wanqing was full of tenderness and sweetness, and it almost said that I am happy with you on my face.

And the way Yang Wanqing looked at Qu Shaogong was wrong. Although it wasn't that obvious, the crooked smile on her eyebrows couldn't be concealed.

When the two of them stood together, Qu Shaoshang was like a light bulb, bright but easy to ignore.
