Imperial Exam Daily

The wedding of Li Cheng and the princess was scheduled for years ago.

With the addition of such happy events to the festivities of the Chinese New Year, the capital was very lively for a while.

Yang Ye brought back a few beautiful horses from Jiangnan, hurriedly made two clothes, just in time to attend Li Cheng's wedding.

In the first two days of the new year, he and Axi took a soft sedan chair to go to the son-in-law's mansion. On the way, you can see the grandeur of the wedding. The wedding of the emperor's younger sister is naturally grand, and the Li family also He is a businessman from the wealthy side, with extravagance and howling, he has to be admired.

The sedan chair stopped at the gate of the son-in-law's mansion, and the sedan chair from the son-in-law's mansion had just arrived, Dai Lin took the sedan chair and dragged Axi away, leaving only the two grown men looking at each other.

Both of them had big bellies, and the visitors did not dare to get too close to them, so they only saluted from a distance, Dai Lin simply dragged Axi to a secluded place with few people: "Zixiang, do you know that Uncle Xue has already Back to Beijing."

Ah Xi really doesn't know, Yang Ye is recuperating at home due to his injury, and he is busy with Li Cheng's marriage. said.

Seeing that Ah Xi suddenly fell silent, Dai Lin asked cautiously, "Do you want to see Uncle?"

Ah Xi’s eyes are slightly open, and it’s impossible to say that he doesn’t want to see him at all. Back then when he fell into the water and stuttered, his father gradually neglected him because of this. It's been ten years since he's been there, and now that he's married, his affection for the Xue family has long been very weak. If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have returned to Beijing for so long and never inquired about the Xue family.

But now that the person has come back, after all, father and son are together, so they should see each other, so that they can understand what happened back then.

He held Dai Lin's hand and said, "I'll go and discuss this matter with Ah Ye first."

Dai Lin nodded: "I just don't know if uncle will come to the banquet today."

The two went to look for Yang Ye together, and found the place where they met just now, but they heard that Yang Ye was called away by Li Cheng, and the prince was talking to his mother, the eldest princess. After the princess saluted, she took her servant and went to look for Yang Ye alone.

Some time ago, when the Prince Consort's Mansion was successfully built, he came here, but he was able to find his way and went to a quieter place.

At this time, the sedan chairs of the Song family and his son just stopped at the entrance of the mansion. The Song family and the Li family were closely related, and it was only natural for the nephew to get married, but Song Tingyou had a stinky face, and it was a kind of cabbage that he had carefully cultivated and grown up. Annoyed at being picked off by someone else.

Li Cheng was under his nose every day, and somehow got involved with the princess. When he found out that something was wrong, before he could counterattack, the emperor gave him a marriage, which caught him by surprise!

Song Miao had a big fight with him because of this matter, she would die for Li Cheng as a concubine, not to mention whether the princess could accommodate her concubine, Song Tingyou would never allow his daughter to be a concubine Li Cheng is not a royal family, how can the daughter of a dignified third-rank official be his concubine.

He disagreed, and Song Miao was making trouble at home right now.

He really regrets the matter of Li Cheng. If he had known that he would marry the princess, he would not have dared to stop him from going to the south of the Yangtze River with Yang Ye to treat the disaster. Not only would he not get to know the princess if he went there, but the disaster would be treated like a dragon, and he would be happy. Promotion and rewards are indispensable, and it was the best time to marry Miaomiao to him at that time.

Now it's nothing but a bamboo basket to fetch water, nothing left.

Song Yiyu entered the mansion and found a familiar figure, his heart was suffocated, he quickly left Song Tingyou behind and chased after him, seeing Axi entered a garden, he quickly stepped forward and called out: "Zixiang! "

Ah Xi turned around, when Dai Lin was chasing him, he saw Song Yiyu, he didn't want to talk to anyone and wanted to leave, but Song Yiyu walked in front of him and blocked the way.

"What does Mr. Song want to do?"

Song Yiyu, who hadn't seen Axi for several months, saw Axi's big belly, and was a little dazed for a moment: "The child, the child belongs to Yang Ye?"

"What does Mr. Song mean by this! If it's not my husband's, who else could it be?"

Song Yiyu breathed out: "I didn't mean to offend, Zixiang, I know it's you, why don't you admit it, and don't want to see me? You know I've been waiting for you all these years."

A Xi said coldly: "Young Master Song, don't say such outrageous words anymore, it's not suitable for you or me, don't ruin our respective reputations."

"Mr. Song, don't block my way."

"Zixiang, let's have a good talk!" Song Yiyu grabbed Axi's wrist: "I know you are blaming me for not stopping Dad from going to your house to withdraw from your marriage, and marrying Yang Ye because of this wants to anger me, so I don't care about it." I have been guilty for a long time.”

Ah Xi gasped, he felt that the person in front of him was hopeless, and when he hurriedly wanted to get rid of him, Song Yiyu let go first, looking straight behind him.

"Uncle Xue!"

Ah Xi suddenly turned around and faced the middle-aged man who came from the other end. He hadn't seen him for many years. He saw that the handsome man who was high-spirited in the past had grown a lot of wind and frost, but he didn't know that he was not the little man who only reached the man's waist. child.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to make a sound.

The fear in Xue Yinsheng's eyes flashed away. Looking at the younger brother in front of him, he felt in a daze that he was dreaming. If Song Yiyu hadn't come forward and called him uncle, he didn't know what would have happened. .

"Young Master Song."

"Uncle, you have returned to Beijing, take a quick look, Zixiang!"

Xue Yinsheng glanced at Axi, and Axi also looked at him directly. He felt guilty and worried, and his mood was unspeakably complicated. To protect the overall situation, he smiled and said to the surprised Song Yiyu: "Mr. Are you kidding me, Zixiang has been dead for many years."

Ah Xi's eyebrows frowned, he thought he couldn't pretend in front of Song Yiyu, but he didn't expect Xue Yinsheng to say these words, reunited after a long absence, he didn't expect Xue Yinsheng to burst into tears when he saw him again, but He never thought that he would say in front of him so calmly that he had passed away for many years.

"Uncle Xue! Take a closer look, he, he is clearly Zixiang!" Not only Axi was shocked, but even Song Yiyu was a little at a loss. In ten years, Axi grew from a child to an adult, and his appearance was so real. There will be many changes, but he can recognize it at a glance, how could Xue Yinsheng, who is his biological father, not recognize him.

"Mr. Song is really good at joking. Although this husband and Zixiang have some similarities in appearance, they are not the same person. Zixiang is the only parent of the old man. How can the old man admit his mistake?" Xue Yinsheng laughed loudly: "Still I don’t know which big family this husband belongs to.”

Ah Xi stabilized his body, and bowed to Xue Yinsheng: "My husband, General Secretary and Counselor Fulang, has seen Mr. Xue."

"It turned out to be the husband of the General Secretary and Councilor who was newly awarded by the emperor."

Axi nodded slightly and said: "My husband is inconvenient, so I will take my leave first."

Song Yiyu wanted to stop Ah Xi, but since Xue Yin was born, it was inconvenient for him to do something rude, so he could only watch Ah Xi walk away.

After leaving the garden, Axi walked outside the house, his face turned pale, and he suddenly covered his stomach.

"Fu Lang, what's wrong with you!"

Seeing this, the waiter quickly supported Ah Xi.

"Quick, go and call the master, my stomach hurts."

The waiter quickly helped Axi to sit on the porch next to him, too frightened to leave him half a step, and started yelling towards the door.

The people inside heard the movement, Yang Ye saw Axi's complexion in pain, his expression was frozen, and hurried up: "What's going on, Axi, what's wrong with you!"

Li Cheng said in shock: "I'm afraid it's about to give birth, take someone to the side room!"

Yang Ye picked her up by the waist, and said to Li Cheng: "I'm afraid the princess will be here soon, you should hurry up and greet her."

Wen Han also urged Li Cheng: "Hurry up, I'm here."

He hurriedly sent his servants to look for the imperial physician, and ordered Mrs. Wen to come.

Yang Ye hurriedly carried the sobbing Ah Xi into the side hall, he put his arms around Ah Xi's trembling shoulders: "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen."

Ah Xi was buried in Yang Ye's chest, his eyes were red with pain, and he couldn't speak at all.

The doctor soon came from the back door, along with two midwives, Ah Xi was lying on the bed with sweat on his forehead, and he was strangling Yang Ye's hand tightly.

Yang Ye couldn't feel the pain in his hand, so he was extremely flustered. He held Axi's hand and comforted him non-stop.

"Master Yang, you go out first. Fu Lang will be fine, and it's not convenient for us if you are inside."

He looked at Ah Xi who was in constant pain, and he couldn't let go, but Ah Xi took the initiative to let go and grabbed the quilt, stumbling and saying: "A Ye, you, you go out."

Yang Ye was dragged out. There were crowds of guests in the main hall, and the crackling of firecrackers couldn't stop, but he ignored it, his mind was filled with Axi's voice, and he walked back and forth at the door with his hands behind his back, feeling like The knife was twisted, watching the servants carrying hot water basins in and out one by one, wishing to follow in.

Dai Lin heard the sound and came, seeing the busy situation in the side room, and Yang Ye floating around the door like a cloud of cloud, he said urgently: "What's going on, it was fine just now, why is it about to give birth all of a sudden!"

"It's already time to give birth, and it's reasonable to give birth."

Yang Ye calmed down a little bit, and blamed himself for not following Ah Xi all the time just now, he suddenly looked at the servant who followed Ah Xi just now, and asked, "What's wrong when Fu Lang came over? Why did it hurt so badly?" ? It seems that the mood fluctuates greatly."

Seeing that Yang Ye has always been gentle, the little attendant was so frightened that he knelt down: "Just now in the garden where Fu Lang came over, Fu Lang met Mr. Song and Mr. Xue. Mr. Song insisted that Fu Lang's name is Xue Zixiang. Mr. Xue said a few words, and he was fine when he spoke, but for some reason, Huo Lang suddenly felt uncomfortable when he left the garden."

"Master Xue..." Yang Ye's expression changed.

Dai Lin was suddenly furious: "This Song Yiyu, I'll go find him! Even though Ah Xi is pregnant, but still disturbing his peace, what kind of heart is there!"

Yang Ye hurriedly asked the servant to hold Dai Lin back: "Don't be angry, Shi Zifei, if you have another good or bad, what should I do?"

Immediately, Dai Lin's eyes turned red again, and Ah Xi's cock made everyone outside tremble.

Seeing a stable woman coming out, Yang Ye quickly stopped him: "What's the matter? It's been almost half an hour!"

"Don't worry, my lord. It's Fulang's first delivery and he doesn't know how to use his strength. It will inevitably take a long time, but Fulang is in good health and will be fine."

Having said that, Yang Ye's heart was still throbbing with pain, and the longer the time dragged on, the more exhausted he became. He was afraid that Ah Xi would not be able to bear it, so when he was in a state of desperation, a baby's cry wiped out all the messy things. Both the pace and the beating of the heart stopped.

"It's born! It's born! Father and son are safe!"

Yang Ye rushed in.

There was a fishy smell in the room, and the people who had been in a panic just now became very peaceful, so Yang Ye went straight to the back room to see Axi.

Mrs. Wen wrapped the newborn baby in swaddling clothes, and when she saw Yang Ye rushing in, she hurriedly smiled and handed the baby over: "My lord, it is..."

Before he finished speaking, he watched Yang Ye pass her by, he didn't reach out to pick up the child at all, instead he sat down on the bedside first, and went to check on her husband.

She had delivered babies for most of her life, and it was the first time she saw a man who saw a child first after giving birth.

Yang Ye held Axi's hand in his arms, and looked at his wet face, the broken hair on his forehead was in strands, his lips were even paler, his face was as white as paper, and he kissed Axi distressedly. Hand: "It's great that you're fine."

Ah Xi was exhausted and weak. He looked down at Yang Ye and said softly, "Look at the child, don't you like him?"

Yang Ye came back to his senses: "Yes, yes! Child!"

Then the midwife smiled and carried the baby over again. Yang Ye carefully hugged the well-wrapped little thing, which was a soft ball. The baby was not very good-looking just after it was born, but the father looked at the baby as if it was getting bigger and bigger. I like it more and more.

"Master, Husband has given birth to a young master."

Yang Ye's face was full of smiles, he gently put the child next to Ah Xi, and let him have a look, Ah Xi's eyes were full of tenderness.

"Axi, you've spoiled me, I'll take a look at my little nephew too."

Dai Lin leaned over, and everyone in the room laughed happily.

Yang Ye said: "I didn't expect that the monk in the temple on the outskirts of Beijing was so accurate. He really is a boy."

Surprised that the quilt is cold and the pillow is cold, and the window is bright again.Knowing the heavy snow at night, I heard the sound of folding bamboo.

Yang Ye got up from the bed and moved the charcoal that was not very warm. Axi struggled to get up from the bed, seeing that the room was brighter than usual, and knew that the snow outside was getting heavier again.

"It's so cold at the moment, I don't know if it will chill the child. It's a pity that the child born in winter will suffer from the season."

Yang Ye returned to the bed and hugged Axi: "The wet nurse is taking good care of him, how could he be cold. It's better to be born in winter, boys need to be trained to be tougher."

Axi nestled in Yang Ye's arms: "The child has been born for four or five days, and you haven't named the child yet."

As soon as the words fell, Yang Ye heard the sound of the bamboo being crushed in the yard. He looked at the window for a while: "Just take the quilt and fold it."

Axi smiled lightly: "I thought you knew how to learn."

"Didn't you hear it under the quilt?"

He hugged Ah Xi and lay down under the blanket. Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve. There is a kid in the family, so we need to have a good time. The emperor will also send some new year gifts to the officials. The first year in Beijing is going well.

Ah Xi was warm, he leaned over and kissed him on the neck, Ah Xi suddenly held his hand and said: "I gained a lot of weight, now I have to eat less during Chinese New Year."

Yang Ye took the opportunity to touch Ah Xi's body a few times: "There's no such thing as fat, it's all right now, before it hurt to hug her."

"nonsense."

The two chatted for a while before falling asleep.

At the beginning of the year, Dai Lin's child was also born, a fat boy like Axi. As soon as Axi was out of confinement, he went to see someone, and the family had to serve a full moon wine for Xiaoqian, and there were many guests that day.

When she met Xue Yinsheng on the day of delivery, even her own biological father didn't recognize her, Ah Xi felt that there was no need to hide anymore, so she simply entertained guests with Yang Ye openly, saying that he was similar to Xue Zixiang in everything, Ah Xi They all laughed it off, neither explaining nor admitting it, just don't guess.

When the banquet was almost over, the villain came with two boxes of gifts: "It was from Mr. Xue's family. The servants of Xue's family came here and only delivered the congratulatory gifts, but they didn't say anything."

Yang Ye looked at the gift box and said to Ah Xi: "The delivery of this thing is a bit subtle, if it is because it was given by the Beijing officials, and our Yang family has no relationship with the Xue family, if it is because of you that it was given, but then He refused to admit that you are Xue Zixiang."

Ah Xi took a breath, these days he also thought about it, since Xue Yinsheng is so ruthless and doesn't care about father-son love at all, then just pretend that he doesn't have that father at all, and he has never done anything wrong to the Xue family However, the Xue family still avoided him, thinking about it, there was really nothing to worry about.

"Take it as a colleague of Aye's in the officialdom."

Yang Ye touched Axi's head: "I will find out the matter. Back then we had nothing to rely on in Beijing. In order to gain a firm foothold, we hid and hid, so we didn't dare to investigate the events back then easily. Now that we have stabilized , I will definitely not let you be wronged for no reason."

He went to Tan Shengchang's mansion with New Year's ceremony.

When he was in Jiangnan back then, he accidentally learned that Tan Shengchang was a disciple of General Ji, and that General Ji was Ah Xi's grandfather. Presumably Tan Shengchang knew a lot of things. If he wanted to understand what happened back then, he had no choice but to tell Ah Xi What happened in his home was straight to the point.

"Even if you don't come, I still have to go to Yang's house." Tan Shengchang met Axi at the full moon banquet. He was startled and terrified at the time, and tried a few words, but he didn't get a clear result. Feeling restless, I wanted to write a letter to the old general, but I was afraid that things would not be clarified, so Yang Ye came first.

Now that he knows that Ah Xi is really the grandson of the old general, he is very happy. In the dark, everything is fate.

Miss Ji fell in love with Xue Yinsheng, a literati, and was moved by his talent. She insisted on marrying him despite the old general's wishes, and almost broke up with the old general's father and daughter. After seeing the eldest lady for a few days, seeing that she didn't drink or eat, she was soft-hearted after all, and finally agreed to the marriage, and married her to Xue Yinsheng, who was just a low-level official at that time.

The husband and wife have been reconciled for a few years, but Xue Yinsheng also knew that his father-in-law did not like him during this period, so he instigated the young lady to go back to her natal family less, and the relationship between father and daughter was even worse. On the face of the little grandson, Xue Yinsheng was kinder to Xue Yinsheng, but the old general was sent to the east by the late emperor in less than two years, and after four years, Xue Yinsheng was no longer the little official he used to be when he returned to Beijing , He has become a fourth-rank official in one leap.

There was also a concubine in the family, and the eldest lady was already seriously ill, and within two years, the eldest lady left.

"The old general was very saddened by this matter. He not only regretted why he had to marry the eldest lady in a moment of softness, but also hated Xue Yinsheng for breaking his promise and breaking his promise when he married the eldest lady that he would not take concubines in his life. The old general felt sorry for Zixiang. He lost his biological mother at a young age, and wanted to take the child back to the General's Mansion, but it was someone else's son, and Xue Yin was born in the middle of the court at that time, and he was highly valued by the late emperor. It would be useless for him to bring Zixiang back to the General's Mansion .”

"I think Zixiang became famous when he was young, and he got married to the Song family. Xue Yinsheng will definitely value Zixiang and take good care of him. Xue Yinsheng really loves Zixiang. The border war is tight, and the general can't stay in Beijing for a long time. When he came back, he didn’t even have his little grandson. After the old general returned to Beijing, he found out that Zixiang had fallen into a pond and had a serious illness. After that, he became stuttering. Seeing that the situation was not right, the Song family divorced the marriage. Zixiang was hit hard Passed away seriously ill."

The old general was saddened by it, and knew that this series of blows was too heavy for a child, and he inquired from many sources. He heard that since the eldest son Xiang stammered, Xue Yinsheng treated him much worse than before. Hearing this, the old general was very angry. Furious, he rushed straight into Xue's house and gave Xue Yinsheng an old punch. Even his concubine's room did not escape, and put down his cruel words, if Xue Yinsheng dared to straighten his concubine's room, he would fight for Xue's family even if he tried his best. nice.

Xue Yinsheng was humiliated and complained to the imperial court. The late emperor actually leaned towards the Xue family, reprimanded and punished the old general, and cut off some of his powers. Therefore, Tan Shengchang could not continue to fight with the old general. , Conquering the Quartet for the late emperor was really chilling. Once he went to the border, he never returned to the capital except for the new emperor's ascension to the throne.

When Yang Ye heard Tan Shengchang talk about the past, he couldn't help but sigh, the Song family is not a good family, and neither is the Xue family.

Tan Shengchang said: "After the late emperor passed away, Emperor Ji Wen was the prince who had the least chance of succession. Xue Yinsheng suppressed Emperor Ji Wen because of the five princes he supported. He knew that he was no longer the emperor at the time. In order to show his sincerity to Emperor Ji Wen, he asked himself to leave the capital for two years. He was also afraid of what the old general said back then, that he did not dare to straighten the concubine's room."

Yang Ye was very puzzled: "But I really don't understand. Axi didn't die of illness, but was just kidnapped and sold. Why did he bring him back and make a show that Axi died of illness."

"I'm afraid only the Xue family knows this in their hearts." Tan Shengchang said: "As long as Zixiang is still alive, it will be a blessing in misfortune. I can rest assured that you will take care of him. I will investigate this matter carefully. At that time, I will give the old general an explanation."

Yang Ye nodded: "Then it's time to work."

"Hey, between you and me, why should you be polite?"

Yang Ye went back and told Axi what he knew. When he mentioned grandpa, Axi's expression changed slightly. For many years, only grandpa was worth caring about.

"The old general will come back sooner or later, and I will take you to see the old general." Yang Ye said, "Now we just need to find out why the Xue family is acting."

A few days later, Xing Huai and Xu Qiuhe left the capital with their children. The couple had been in the capital for more than half a year. Although the capital is good, their family is in Wenyang County. Xing Huai had worked in the bodyguard bureau for half a year. Open a dart bureau.

After sending Xinghuai's family away, the house became much quieter.

The holiday granted by the emperor to Yang Ye was not long anymore. Taking advantage of the few days left, Yang Ye arranged the things he had confessed years ago, and bought a mansion near the Forbidden City, and entered the courtyard three times. The generosity and pride can be regarded as fulfilling a concern of the whole family.

The author has something to say: The poem comes from Bai Juyi's "Night Snow"
