Great Imperial Merchant

Yang Zhongshan fell silent, and his face turned cold, obviously not very happy.

Kong Minhua's words hit Yang Zhongshan's mind, and his tone softened: "Zhongshan, the family was in a difficult situation back then. When your father asked you to deal with things, his life and death were uncertain. We worked so hard to make the situation better, but he came back again. I can't count the things my father promised me to do."

Yang Zhongshan agrees with him, but the matter is not that simple: "This matter is not up to me alone, the clan..."

Kong Minhua took his hand and squeezed it gently, and said softly: "Zhongshan, your brother has been away from home for so many years, and you have seen how he is now. It's not good at all. If he voluntarily gives up on this matter... then it's okay. People will stop chewing their tongues."

This is really a good idea. No matter what happened that year, Yang Zhongyuan has not been home for more than ten years. All the affairs of the Yang family have been handled by Yang Zhongshan and Kong Minhua. If Yang Zhongyuan voluntarily gave up, no one in the family would dare to talk nonsense .

Thinking of this, Yang Zhongshan couldn't help but took the initiative to hold Kong Minhua's hand, and his voice was a little warmer: "Minhua, besides Dad, you are the only one in this world who thinks about me. If you are like this, what more can you ask for."

Hearing his words, Kong Minhua couldn't help putting a little smile on his usually expressionless face. He got up and stood behind Yang Zhongshan, and stretched out his hands to help him massage his shoulders: "We are destined partners, the closest family , I naturally plan everything for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Zhongshan raised his head and looked into his eyes, full of emotion for a moment.

After the black shadow left, Yang Zhongyuan didn't continue to sleep. His elder brother Kun guarded him like this, presumably because things were complicated.

Although he has always been worried about his father's safety, but this day he is particularly frightened. He is very afraid that his father will leave him with his father, and he is also afraid that his elder brother or eldest father will do something bad to his father. Spent.

Because he didn't sleep well, Yang Zhongtian didn't wake up until the sun was high the next day. Yang Zhongyuan lay on the bed for a long time and didn't get up. He remembered many things in the palace these years, and slowly began to recall those people at home.

Suddenly, Yang Zhongyuan's eyes lit up, and he sat up abruptly, desperately thinking about the man's name.

What is the most well-informed place in the palace?That must be the royal dining room.Every morning, lunch and evening meals are distributed to each palace from here. This master likes spicy food, but that master prefers light food. There are all kinds of news. These news will be gathered together every day and reported to him at night.

In this palace, no matter which manager it is, they are not easy to mess with.Yang Zhongyuan has been in the imperial dining room for so many years, and his eyeliner is all over the Yong'an Palace. It can't be done simply by relying on the friendship between Lao Nian and Emperor Ruijia.

Although he left the palace, what is the difference between the deep house compound and the palace?The person Yang Zhongyuan remembered just now is the head of the Yang family's kitchen.

Yang Zhongyuan squinted his eyes, and rubbed his thumb against the pulp of his ring finger involuntarily. This was his usual posture when thinking.

When he left home that year, the big boss seemed to be in his thirties, but now he must have reached the age of knowing his destiny.Moreover, Yang Zhongyuan remembered that he had a very close relationship with his own father, who had known him since he first came to work in the Yang family when he was young.

What's his name, Uncle Zhong or Uncle Peng?Yang Zhongyuan thought about it for a long time, but he didn't know what his name was, but he recalled his appearance by seven or eight points, so he shouldn't be mistaken.

He didn't sleep well yesterday, and he didn't have time to eat in the morning. Yang Zhongyuan felt empty in his stomach at the moment. He looked at the sky outside and saw that it was almost noon, so he hurriedly got up to wash, and then cleaned yesterday's dirty clothes After drying in the yard, he quickly walked to the kitchen.

Speaking of which, the Yang family has a small population. Apart from the two old masters in the back house, there are only two masters and two young masters left, of course Yang Zhongyuan is not included.

The two masters don't like luxury, but advocate frugality the most, so the meals in the kitchen are getting better and better these years, and there are no such complicated and lonely fresh foods, and the rest are just home-cooked dishes that are the best at cooking.

When Yang Zhongyuan arrived, there were not many people left in the kitchen. It was past meal time, and the cooks who had been busy all morning went back to rest in order to be full of energy for the evening work.

It was a very coincidental day, the big master happened to have something to do, and he was instructing the young apprentice behind him to arrange the materials for the evening. As soon as Yang Zhongyuan entered the kitchen door, he heard the little apprentice call the big master "Uncle Zhong".

There was a faint smile on his lips. Before when he was free, he looked in the mirror and found that he looked like his father the most.

"Master, is there any food left?" He even lowered his voice a bit, trying to maximize the similarity between himself and his father.

Zhao Zhong was talking with his back to Yang Zhongyuan, and when he heard his voice, he turned around involuntarily, but was stunned for a while.

"Quan Xu..." Yang Zhongyuan was very nervous, but he relaxed after hearing him murmur.

He clenched his fists involuntarily, maintained a vague smile and continued to look at Zhao Zhong silently for a long time before slowly changing his expression: "Are you... Uncle Zhong?"

Zhao Zhong seemed a little excited, he didn't come yesterday, so he didn't know what happened, and today he was only told by his apprentice to prepare an extra meal.In his opinion, Yang Zhongyuan used to be the young master of the family. Now that he is back, he should be the young master of the family. He can't live in the west wing and eat dinner.

So Yang Zhongyuan suddenly appeared in front of him, which he never expected.

In an instant, Zhao Zhong's eyes turned red. He looked at the grown-up young man carefully, and his hands trembled: "Young master, you are back."

Seeing him like this, Yang Zhongyuan also felt a little sad. When he was a child, this loyal uncle took great care of him and his father. He hadn't seen him for more than ten years. The old man who stood here was already gray at the temples, and there were deep marks on the corners of his eyes. Yang Zhongyuan felt a little bit Unspeakable emotions, he whispered: "Uncle Zhong, I'm back, are you okay? That's great, you're still at home."

Zhao Zhong nodded hurriedly. He wanted to reach out and touch the top of Yang Zhongyuan's head, but found that the short child was already as tall as him, and the sourness in his heart seemed to be overflowing. Thousands of words came out of his mouth, but only one word "good" .

After these few words, Yang Zhongyuan has calmed down, his voice is still very low, and the smile on his face has recovered: "Uncle Zhong, my father..."

Zhao Zhong was immersed in sadness, but when he heard Yang Zhongyuan mention Zhou Quanxu suddenly, although he was still sad, he came to his senses. He turned his head and beckoned his apprentice to leave the kitchen, and then carefully took Yang Zhongyuan to the remote and narrow storage room next to him. inside.

Seeing his behavior, Yang Zhongyuan felt a little clear in his heart, and when Zhao Zhong closed the door, he hurriedly asked: "Uncle Zhong, tell me quickly, does my father also..."

His voice was trembling, and his eyes were red, but he still opened his eyes and tried to look at Zhao Zhong, looking very strong.

At this time, even if Yang Zhongyuan wanted to act, he couldn't continue acting.From his return to the present, he has not been able to find any news about his father. He is so anxious that he is completely destroyed.

"Young master, no...Young master, don't worry, Quan Xu...Old master Quan, he is doing well."

Yang Zhongyuan took a deep breath, he forced himself to calm down, and forced a smile on his face: "Really...? Then my elder brother, why didn't you let me see him? Because of this, I was so worried that I didn't sleep all night yesterday. I feel so bad, I'm afraid that my father will..."

When Zhao Zhong saw him like this, his heart was full of sadness and reluctance. This child is not afraid of anything, but now he has become like this.

The old man was too cruel back then.

He sighed and said, "Master, I've been in the kitchen all these years, and I don't know much about the main house, but Mrs. Quan is indeed in good condition. He also came out during the Qingming Festival. I watched He has lost some weight and his complexion is not very good, but he is still there."

Yang Zhongyuan lowered his eyes. His father has always been in good health, but after hearing Zhao Zhong's words, he seems to be sick again now. According to the virtues of his two "brothers", he must not care about his father's illness, no. , he has to hurry up and take his father out of here.

"Uncle Zhong, don't be so obsessed with others. You are my father's best friend and my elder. You see, I am still the young master of my family. You can call me Zhongyuan. No one has called me like this for many years." me."

"Hey, Zhongyuan, if Quanxu sees you like this, he will be very happy."

Yang Zhongyuan gave a "hmm", raised his head and asked again: "Uncle Zhong, I am very anxious because I can't see my father now, what can you do?"

Zhao Zhong's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head to think.Although he is not as good as Yang who usually stays with the old men, he knows a little bit about the big and small things in the family. The two old men are a bit mean and mean, but in his heart, Yang Zhongyuan and Zhou Quanxu are the most important. It is necessary to help.

He thought for a while, and seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "Zhongyuan, the two masters will go out to discuss business the day after tomorrow, and they won't be back at noon. You come to the kitchen earlier, and I will help you into the back house. Your father lives in the old house." In the Buddhist hall, do you know the way?"

He recognized it, but if the house changed, it would be difficult for him to find it.

Zhao Zhong also suddenly realized this, and hurriedly added: "The location of the courtyard of the back house has not changed, if you remember, it is still in the same place."

Yang Zhongyuan finally felt relieved. With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he bowed deeply to Zhao Zhong: "Uncle Zhong, thank you. Zhongyuan will definitely repay this kindness in the future."

Zhao Zhong hurriedly helped him up, and muttered: "You child, what are you seeing, I am also worried about your father. It is the best that you can go in and see it with your own eyes, and it will also make him get better soon."

Yang Zhongyuan looked at him fixedly, and said seriously: "He will get better when I come back."
