When Fang Wencheng left, the Yang family was the most astonished. Yang Shenxing closed his eyes when he heard the news, "God's will."

"Father, what should we do?"

What else can I do?King Jing pursued him relentlessly, and the impeachments one after another made Yang Shenxing breathless even if he was recuperating from his illness. Even the emperor ordered Yang Shenxing to lead by example and stabilize the hearts of the people.

This means that if the matter is not calmed down, he will never have the opportunity to step into the threshold of the cabinet.

Thinking of this, Yang Shenxing said: "You go to Prince Duan's mansion, plead guilty to the prince on my behalf, and ask him to help. From now on, the Yang family will definitely repay you."

"Yes." Yang Posong replied, he was about to leave, but when he thought of Yang Yingxue, he still asked in embarrassment, "Father, that sister..."

When Yang Yingxue was mentioned, there was a brief silence in the room. Yang Shenxing's wrinkled face showed unbearable, and finally sighed, "Go and tell her, Jinyu and her... can only stay one."

"Father!" Yang Posong's heart was shocked when he heard this, he knelt down with a thud, and begged, "Father, don't! We are all younger sisters today, even if she is wrong, there is nothing wrong with it...Father!"

Yang Posong kowtowed vigorously.

Seeing this, Yang Shenxing raised his hand and asked him to get up, "Where are you thinking? I didn't let her die. Even Wen Cheng was able to leave their mother and child and escape from the capital. Why did my daughter die?"

With strong sarcasm in his eyes, he continued: "It's just that the Yang family is wandering on the cliff now, there can't be any more mistakes. She can't leave Beijing as a woman, so let her become a monk. From then on, the green lantern will accompany the ancient Buddha. Wait for Jinyu to grow up."

"Father...can't you stay at home?" Yang Posong said reluctantly, "The temple is too bitter."

"How much wind and rain do you think this house can withstand, maybe it will be gone anytime soon, let her go, if Jinyu has a future, she can come back."

But what if it doesn't pay off?

Knowing that Yang Shenxing's decision could not be changed, Yang Posong didn't dare to think about the answer, "My son knows."

In a blink of an eye, the new year arrived.

Today's weather is good, after two snowfalls, it is rare to clear up.

The empty Fangzhai had been taken back by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Yang family had to accept the help of King Duan to raise the 10 taels, and King Duan came to apologize today as a middleman.

"Lingling, don't you want to go take a look?" Shang Xiaowu took the book from Fang Jinling's hand and put it in a basket and asked.

Sitting on a small stool, Fang Jinling flipped through the books and manuscripts piled up in the whole study roughly and quickly, and replied without raising his head, "I am a young man who doesn't know much about the world, how can I casually get involved in business matters? "

Don't know the world?

Isn't this all forced by you?The twins looked at each other.

"Xiao Wu, isn't this called pretending to be stupid?"

"Xiaoshuang, I don't know if you ask me, but I think we used the word correctly."

Zijing on the side listened, pursing her lips and snickering, but in the blink of an eye she said worriedly: "His Royal Highness Duan is here, young master, will Madam be at a disadvantage?"

"It's because King Duan is also here, so the 10 yuan will be more, not less. Even if my mother is easy to talk to, my sisters who are so powerful will not agree." Fang Jinling said and handed another copy, "Seventh Sister , I will take this book to the northwest, and you put it in the basket over there."

"Oh, here?"

"Ah."

Taking advantage of the good weather today, Fang Jinling and Zijing sorted out the books brought over from Yunyang Houfu.Some of these are from his study, but more are from Fang Wencheng's collection in the Jingxin Hall.

Although Fang Wencheng's sage books are read like a dog, he has to say that his collection of books is indeed rich, which is quite a fortune. Before re-archiving and putting them away, Fang Jinling intends to let them air out to get rid of mold and mildew.

The time to leave Beijing was set after the Lantern Festival, so Fang Jinling had plenty of time to pick out useful books and take them to the north, especially books for the imperial examination.

But they didn't want to see the faces of the Yang family, and didn't bother to listen to the jokes over there, so the twins volunteered to accompany Fang Jinling to sort out the books.

"What kind of books are these? They look exactly the same." Xiao Wu flipped through them casually, as if she had read a heavenly book, "I always feel that I know all these words, but after they are lined up, I don't know who they are. Who is it?"

Zijing took the basket and said with a smile: "They are all for scientific examinations, the young master wants to study for the imperial examinations."

"Really?" Xiaoshuang's eyes widened in surprise, and she looked at Fang Jinling with admiration, "Lingling is really amazing, if grandpa knows that there is a descendant of the Shang family who can read, he must be so happy."

Although he didn't spend much time with his sisters, Fang Jinling also had a general understanding of how serious their civil and military biases were.If the sisters of the Shang family can be called kings in martial arts and marksmanship, then their reading knowledge is like bronze scum, at the stage where they will be blinded if they recognize all the characters and read a little bit.

In comparison, the amount of money that gets into the eyes of money can be regarded as a school rich five cars.

Thinking about it this way, Fang Jinling suddenly discovered a fatal problem.

If they are all scumbags and can't even pass the exam, then if he goes to the northwest, won't he not even have a decent teacher?Isn't it necessary to embark on the difficult road of self-taught?But the imperial examination is not something that can be learned by just reading books. There are such things as routines everywhere, and these days I can't find Gu Ge Du Niang to help.

Thinking of this, Fang Jinling felt like he was going to split apart.

"Sixth Sister, Seventh Sister, is there anyone in our family who is better educated and can reach the level of juren?"

"Yes." The two replied without thinking.

Fang Jinling was pleasantly surprised when he heard the words: "Yes? Is it one of the staff members of the grandfather?"

"It's the second brother-in-law. His knowledge is the best that my grandfather said. Didn't I say it before, our sisters are studying with the second brother-in-law, but we are not that kind of material, and we feel sleepy when we touch textbooks." Shang Xiao Frost answered.

"But isn't the second brother-in-law a white body?"

Shang Xiaowu replied: "That was after the emperor's amnesty, but before that it was still a crime."

This is amazing, Fang Jinling suddenly felt blessed, "Could it be that the second brother-in-law was exiled from Beijing to the northwest?"

Shang Xiaowu was surprised: "How do you know?"

Fang Jinling thought of Shang Xiyun's mention of the New Deal, and immediately understood. He asked, "Is the second brother-in-law's surname Gao?"

"Lingling is so smart. When we came to Beijing, the second sister specifically asked us not to mention it, but you and your aunt are not outsiders, so it shouldn't matter."

It turned out that it was really Gao Zixiu's only son. He heard that his life and death were uncertain, but he did not expect to become the son-in-law of the Xiling Houfu. What a coincidence.

Gao Zixiu is recognized as a great Confucian, famous all over the world, and more popular than Yang Shenxing. He was the leader who once advocated the New Deal. It's a pity that he failed to survive in the exile, which gave Yang Shenxing a chance to make his mark.

As the son of a great Confucianist, this second brother-in-law's knowledge is definitely not bad. Fang Jinling laughed when he thought of this, "I can't wait to see the second brother-in-law, so I ask him for advice."

"Ah, but I don't want to." Shang Xiaowu directly exposed the essence of a scumbag.

It was rare for Shang Xiaoshuang not to quarrel with her, but instead said understandingly: "Lingling, you don't have to work so hard, your health is not good yet, anyway, with us here, don't worry about fame." If you work so hard, how can they survive Ah, the Marquis of Xiling must be thinking about death.

But could Fang Jinling not work hard?

Fang Jinling thought of Liu Ke's wolf with a big tail. Although this person may not be able to do things at all, he thinks about it as soon as he thinks about it, but he is just right.

The noble concubine and King Jing did not give up. The fact that they planned to marry another princess to him must not have been discovered in the last few days. It turned out that Liu Ke did not fight until Shang Qingrong and Fang Wencheng reconciled and successfully took away all the family property, including Fang Jinling himself. In the name of the bird, come here to beg for favor.

why?

It's not because people didn't take him seriously before!

Of course, Fang Jinling has no right to complain, who made him a worthless young master now?If you change to a high-ranking court official, the treatment is two different things.

So, although he seems to have already got the ticket for Liu Ke's ship, which cabin he can sit on depends on his own ability.

"It's okay, I have a specialization in art. When I go to the northwest, I will distract the second brother-in-law's attention for my sisters. At that time, he will definitely not hold you to study hard anymore." Fang Jinling comforted.

The idea was good, the twins were instantly happy, and helped Fang Jinling carry the books to the yard outside, and spread them out to dry.

And Fang Jinling walked out of the house, looking at the rare sunny day, thinking about why Liu Ke hasn't moved yet because it's already a young age today, maybe he thinks this idea is too ridiculous, so he doesn't plan to adopt it?

It's right to think about it, normal people generally wouldn't do this, he was just making up nonsense to dismiss this person.

He only basked in the sun for a while, when he saw Zhang Kong running towards him, and said with a strange face, "Young master, a group of monks are coming to our street in a mighty way."

"Monk?" The twins were surprised.

"Yes, it is estimated that there are more than 200 people who came from the main street and said that they are doing rituals to pray for blessings."

Zijing asked: "Where did the monk come from?"

"Baoguo Temple." Changkong paused, and added another, "There is also Guanghua Temple."

"Hey, these two great temples have always been at odds with each other, why are they together, is there going to be a Dharma meeting?" Zijing asked doubtfully.

Chang Kong shook his head: "It doesn't look like it. There are no devout people behind him, and the monks don't give alms, but it looks like a big crowd. I guess some nobleman has lost his practice, and the line is detoured to our street. gone."

"If you can invite two Buddhist temples, where will the gods be enshrined?" Zijing asked curiously.

Changkong scratched: "This little one doesn't know either, or I'll go and find out."

The twins glanced at each other, and immediately put the book in their hands, Shang Xiaowu said excitedly: "Aren't they all coming this way, don't you know if you go and have a look?"

"That's right, Ling Ling, let's watch the fun together, and we'll pack up the books later." Shang Xiaoshuang grabbed him.

To be honest, sorting out the books was too boring for the two of them. The lice on their buttocks had already made them unable to sit still, but they promised their little cousin to help but were embarrassed to leave halfway. Now they had an excuse, so they immediately Jumping up, together with Fang Jinling, hurried to the gate.

"Hey, Miss Six, Miss Seven, the young master can't walk fast, please slow down." Seeing this, Zijing hurriedly shouted behind her, and then urged Chang Kong, "Follow quickly, and don't let the young master fall."

At this moment, Fang Jinling's mood was extremely complicated. From the first sentence that Chang Kong said, he knew that it was a masterpiece that was astonishing and wonderful.

Of course, the dog-headed strategist who came up with the idea, ah bah, the adviser is still himself.

As a good young man in the 21st century, Fang Jinling felt that he had no limits. He didn't expect that there were mountains beyond the mountains, and he ran into a shameless direction when he met Liu Ke who dragged the whole world down.

He can only bow down.

When the three of them arrived at the gate, the group of monks hadn't come yet, but it happened that Shang Qingrong sent King Duan and Yang's father and son out.

It seemed that the conversation was going well, and King Duan was smiling all over his face, "Madam Shang is very tolerant, she is really a hero among women, thank you for giving me such a thin face."

Shang Qingrong followed with a smile: "His Royal Highness Duan, you are being polite. Since Mr. Yang has returned the silver, he has shown enough sincerity, then the grievances between the Shang family and the Yang family will come to an end here."

"Thank you Madam for your tolerance, Yang is ashamed." Yang Shenxing bowed with Yang Posong.

Shang Qingrong didn't humbly step aside, but accepted the gift, "I hope Master Yang will act righteously, stand firmly, and have a prosperous official career."

This is quite ironic, Yang Shenxing frowned, but Duan Wang did not express his opinion, except for Qian Duojin, who was holding the box and grinning toothlessly, and the sisters of the Shang family, who were all smiling , looks like a door god, so it's not easy to mess with.

His head was lowered, so why bother to argue, he sighed softly: "Then I wish my wife a smooth journey north."

"Okay." Duan Wang clapped his hands and smiled.

Just as he was speaking, there was a burst of Amitabha's Sanskrit sound, accompanied by the rhythmic sound of wooden fish percussion from far to near, and everyone immediately looked over together.

At the end of the street, there were four figures of monks slowly turning around. They were dressed in cassocks, fiddled with Buddhist beads in their hands, lowered their eyes, and quickly recited scriptures. Monastery and the Great Monk of Guanghua Temple.

And behind them are the little monks in yellow patchwork clothes, one after another, one row after another, turning out from the corner, endlessly stretching the line, knocking on the wooden fish in a mighty way, following the big monk Chanting sutras, the voice of Buddha is vast, filling the whole street, and under the continuous falling paper money, the atmosphere is pitiful and mournful.

The mansions on both sides of the road opened their doors, and those who came out to watch the fun couldn't help but put away their smiles, lowered their heads, and waited silently for the team to pass by.

People who understand Buddhism have already heard that this recitation is mainly about rebirth.

King Duan also clasped his hands together and bowed to the great monk. Afterwards, he asked wonderingly, "Who is this?"

Yang Shenxing said: "It is so grand, it must be distinguished."

"But it doesn't seem to be very particular, why did you invite two temples." Duan Wang frowned, "I haven't heard of anyone who has died recently."

Suddenly the eunuch accompanying him pointed to a person in the team in surprise and said, "My lord, this seems to be the steward of His Royal Highness Seventh House."

Duan Wang was startled: "Old Seven?"

"Yes, the servant has seen it several times, and I am not mistaken."

What's going on with the good-looking Liu Ke?

King Duan couldn't figure it out even though he was thinking about it. Looking at the followers around him, no one came out to answer.So subconsciously looked at Monk Yang Shenxing and Qingrong again, the two rarely unified their expressions, they were all inexplicable, not to mention the seven sisters of the Shang family, who were still watching the fun with great interest.

As for the boy who was pulled out by force, King Duan didn't even look at him. In the end, he could only tell his side, "Go and ask, what's going on."

"Yes."

But before the entourage left, a steward ran out from the reverse team, bumped up to King Duan, bowed his hands and said, "Ah, His Royal Highness, Lord Yang, so you are here, and you are easy to find."

"It's just in time. I'm asking you, what is your Seventh Highness up to?" Duan Wang glanced at the retreating monk team again, feeling a little headache, "Can't we just stop for the New Year's Eve?"

The housekeeper sighed and said sadly: "His Royal Highness Duan misunderstood. His Royal Highness's concubine passed away unfortunately yesterday. His highness had a deep relationship with it and was deeply saddened. That's why he invited the masters to do a ritual ceremony to pray for the concubine's salvation."

Where there is a master, there must be a servant. Fang Jinling felt that this person was of great quality for saying this without changing his face. If he didn't know the inside story, he would have thought that Liu Ke had been married for many years and died of a loving wife.

Of course, as Liu Ke's older brother, Prince Duan was also dumbfounded: "Princess?"

"That's right, I have been with His Highness for several years and I just went like this. It's really... well, please also His Highness Duan Wang and Lord Yang, please do respect and see the princess off. The mourning hall has been set up, so you can go to express your condolences." The steward finished speaking. , sighed in a dignified manner, then looked at the members of the Shang family, cupped their hands and said, "If the madam, the young master and the young ladies are interested, please go too."

After a salute, he hurried to the next house.

It looks like that.

So here comes the question.

"When did Seventh get married?"

Duan Wang asked everyone's aspirations.
