Great Imperial Merchant
Chapter 015 Counterattack
He said this too much, Yang Zhongshan frowned, and shouted in a low voice: "Zhongyuan, why are you talking to Brother Kun!"
Yang Zhongyuan sneered and said: "Why, you have done so many things to your heart, can't you just scold me? Besides, only your family is human, and no one will care if my father and I die."
"That's not what I meant." Yang Zhongshan was a little embarrassed, but still retorted.
Seeing the two of them being gagged by him, Yang Zhongyuan felt somewhat relieved. He had already thought about what happened tonight, so he struck while the iron was hot and said directly: "I am willing to stay with you, Yang Zhongyuan." In the past few days, I have only two goals, if you all agree to me, then I will sign this contract without saying a word."
Yang Zhongshan felt a little uncomfortable when he heard him call his family "Your Yang family". Even if this is the concubine he has never liked to see, he grew up in front of his eyes.
It's a pity that the originally not deep family relationship has been thinned out by 15 years of ruthless years. Now that Yang Zhongyuan is returning home, they are speechless and just like strangers.
"Tell me." Yang Zhongshan pulled Kong Minhua to sit beside him, and tightly held his somewhat cold hand.
Both of them have cold palms, and they are naturally cold people. They don't have much affection for outsiders or even relatives, but they have feelings for each other, and they should become a family with them.
Yang Zhongyuan looked straight at him, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth: "My father's shop, I want to replace it with his deed of sale, after he leaves the Yang family with me, you have no right to control him any more. milliseconds."
Yang Zhongshan never expected that he didn't even want this family anymore.For the entire Yang family, he only thought about his father, and only his father.Was the decision he and the two fathers made back then really the right one?
But things have already happened, and his character will never allow him to look back. Yang Zhongshan's voice was very steady, and he agreed to the first thing: "Okay, Uncle Quan will go with you in the future, and I will explain clearly to my father that we will not be together in the future. I won't care about anything else."
After accomplishing the first thing, Yang Zhongyuan was quite happy in his heart. He clenched his fist tightly and said the second thing: "My shop, I want to exchange it for 1000 taels of silver bills, not less than a copper plate."
To be honest, with the prosperity of Jinlin Street, even if the location of a shop is not good, it can sell for thousands of silver. Yang Zhongyuan only needs 1000 taels, which is really not much.
After he finished speaking, Yang Zhongshan didn't answer right away.He fell into a long and long entanglement, and it seemed that this matter was more difficult than the first one.
Seeing that he was silent, Kong Minhua sighed, and said, "Zhongyuan, to tell you the truth, before his father passed away, the family business suffered a great setback. The two shops were all bought out at that time, and it took a long time to return them." After clearing the debts at that time, brother Kun really didn't lie to you this time, and the shop didn't return to the Yang family until this year."
Hearing what he said, Yang Zhongyuan's originally calm face finally cracked a crack, and his cheeks flushed from drinking slowly faded away, leaving only paleness.
He turned his head and asked his brother directly: "Brother, tell me, does dad know about this?"
Yang Zhongshan closed his eyes and nodded silently.
"Hahaha, he is really my good father," Yang Zhongyuan laughed suddenly, and he said sharply, "I was sent to the palace by him when I was ten years old. Do you know how many people in Los Angeles laughed at me along the way? Which one? It’s not because you can’t make it through that you sold the child to be used by the current people, what about me? Is the Yang family short of these few taels of silver?”
Under the persecution of his younger brother who was almost choked up, Yang Zhongshan finally opened his eyes. He felt that he could hardly breathe.
"We are sorry for you." In the end, when the words came to his lips, there was only this sentence left.
Yang Zhongyuan looked at him with a sneer, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly stretched out his hand to take off his coat, Yang Zhongshan and Kong Minhua looked at him in surprise, saw that he began to take off his long gown after taking off his coat, and finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Zhongyuan, you What is this for?"
Yang Zhongyuan glanced at his brother, but continued with his movements.
It was approaching hot summer now, and he was only wearing a long gown and a middle jacket. After taking off all the clothes, he just put on his trousers, facing his two elder brothers with his shirt off.
His eyes were very dark, and it was hard to see that he was distracted at the moment. Yang Zhongyuan turned around and exposed his back to Yang Zhongshan and Kong Minhua.
The moment he turned around, he heard them taking deep breaths.
He knew why they were so surprised, because on his back, there were several scars criss-crossing.
Yang Zhongyuan turned his back to them like this, letting the cold night wind blow his thin body: "I was 14 years old that year, and it wasn't long before I went to the imperial dining room. Generally, the little palace people in the imperial dining room only do laundry. work, and I do the same."
His voice was very calm and cold, as if he was not talking about what happened to him: "People in the palace can't be sick. They don't have medicine to take when they are sick. They have to suffer by themselves. One day I got sick. The wind and cold made me groggy all day long, and I accidentally knocked over the basin while washing vegetables at night, dirtying all the vegetables I was going to eat that day."
When he said this, he suddenly paused.Yang Zhongshan looked at the intertwined scars on his back with a complicated expression, feeling that he couldn't listen anymore.Even if he has already passed, he still feels uncomfortable when he hears such a thing.
What's more, it happened to his own brother, which made people feel more painful and guilty.
Yang Zhongyuan seemed to have stabilized his mood, and he continued: "If you make a mistake, you will be beaten. It was not the first time I was beaten, but it was the most ruthless. In front of the little palace man in the imperial dining room, his shirt was stripped off and he was whipped ten times, brother Kun, do you know how painful it is?"
His question was light and light, as natural as greeting him every morning.
Yang Zhongshan finally collapsed, he whispered: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I'm sorry."
Kong Minhua's eyes also turned red. There are some things they have been unwilling to face, just like the big daddy who has been eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha these years, like none of them talk about Yang Zhongyuan's name at home, which is a taboo in the Yang family.
Sometimes, when people make irreparable mistakes, they run away, ignore them, and become more indifferent.
Ever since Yang Zhongyuan came home, Yang Zhongshan had been reluctant to see him, because he was afraid in his heart. He was afraid of hearing Yang Zhongyuan tell him how he was betrayed by his father, afraid of hearing his hard life these years, and even more afraid of Yang Zhongyuan. Come back and ask him for everything that belongs to him.
Since Yang Zhongshan agreed with his father to do the matter at that time, there was no room for maneuver.So he firmly holds on to everything he owns, and doesn't want to share even half of it.
His thoughts were so contradictory, but Kong Minhua understood.The two have been cooperating very well, but until now, they really did not expect that Yang Zhongyuan would be so fierce.
Yang Zhongyuan turned his head back, and he slowly put on his clothes one by one, then stared closely at Yang Zhongshan's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Do you know what it's like to work when no one cares about you? I was injured, and only my roommate Xiaogong kindly helped me to apply medicine. I don’t know if the medicine is for skin injuries. Anyway, I started to go back to work on the third day. The wound on my back is always healed. It cracked again, and it took more than half a year to gradually heal."
Yang Zhongyuan put on his outer robe, cleaned himself neatly, sat down at the tea table again, and refilled himself a cup of tea: "You have also seen that the scar left on my body will never go away for the rest of my life."
In the past [-] years, except for the time when his father died, Yang Zhongshan has never been in such pain as he is today.
He didn't dare to look at Yang Zhongyuan, he just lowered his head and panted deeply.
Every word Yang Zhongyuan said just now was like a knife, slowly cutting through his internal organs, causing him to bleed, prolonging the pain and guilt.
Kong Minhua saw that his expression was wrong, so he kept on doing nothing, and said directly to Yang Zhongyuan: "Zhongyuan, we promise you that tomorrow 1000 taels and your father's contract will be sent to you, and I will give you instructions later." Man, clean up your bedroom in the inner house, and if you stay at home in the future, your brother and I will treat you well."
No matter how indifferent and ruthless he was, he would still feel uncomfortable hearing Yang Zhongyuan's series of words, let alone Yang Zhongshan.His decision was nothing more than to make Yang Zhongshan feel better in the future.
And Yang Zhongshan, after listening to Kong Minhua's words, also silently approved his decision.
Yang Zhongyuan took a sip of tea and suddenly laughed twice: "Haha, do you think I still want to stay here?"
Yang Zhongshan seemed to be distracted at this moment, he suddenly raised his head, and said seriously: "Zhongyuan, don't you even give me a chance to repent? Brother is really sad."
Yang Zhongyuan also looked back at him. He saw him in high spirits, his family happy, his luxurious mansion and tall buildings, and his strategizing.But these things, he and his father didn't get any of them. All they had was the pain of being sold by their family members, and the embarrassment of being sick and taking no medicine. In this family, their lives were worse than servants.
"Brother, I have seen too many palace people who died of illness without any medicine in the palace. I don't want my father. After suffering for so many years, until I come back, he has no life to enjoy the blessing."
Yang Zhongshan's pupils shrank suddenly, Yang Zhongyuan narrowed his eyes, and said another sentence: "When you are sharing family happiness and enjoying the glory and wealth, do you think of me and my father at all?"
Has he thought about it?It seems that I have thought about it, but it seems that I haven't.In those years, he and his father devoted themselves to earning money for the family. In the past few years, the business had problems, and they focused on bringing the Yang family back to prosperity.Later Kong Minhua got married to him, he had a loving husband, a lovely child, his business improved, prosperity and wealth were at hand, and he didn't have time to think about those things that he had long buried in his heart.When life is good, no one thinks about the difficult past.
Yang Zhongyuan saw his brother's eyes full of blankness and self-blame, he sneered and said: "My father and I will leave the Yang family tomorrow, and I will not eat half a bowl of rice from your Yang family in the future, brother, considering how poor I was Come on, allow me to go to the warehouse to pick a few things."
At this time, Yang Zhongshan didn't have much ability to distinguish. Yang Zhongyuan completely shattered his defenses with a series of actions. Although Yang Zhongyuan standing in front of him is already in his twenties, when he closes his eyes, he can think of the young man. At that time, he was scarred and had a hard time living in that place.
A person really can’t do bad things. After having the first thing, one after another, these stains slowly accumulate in his heart, making him unforgettable forever, causing his heart to be in pain and restlessness all the time.
"Okay, tomorrow I will take you there personally." Yang Zhongshan said, and said, "Zhongyuan, where are you going to take Uncle Quan to live when you leave home? You stay here, and let Brother Kun and I take good care of you."
Yang Zhongyuan shook his head resolutely. His voice was very weak, but he could be heard clearly by the two people present: "Living there is better than here. If I stay in this house for one more day, I can remember when I was a child, I begged my father not to let me go. The scene when he sent me away, it was so painful."
Yang Zhongshan swallowed all the persuasion he wanted to say, he paused, and finally sighed: "I will order my servants to pack up Uncle Quan's things later, so I can bring them to you tomorrow."
Yang Zhongyuan nodded, he stood where he was, and finally left a sentence: "Brother, I actually wanted to stay at home, but I came back on the first day, but I didn't even come in the door. I thought at the time, this is not me after all. s home."
He lightly dropped this sentence, and left the main hall without looking back.
Behind him, Yang Zhongshan finally broke down and choked up, even Kong Minhua couldn't speak a word.
What else can I say?They themselves forced their relatives to this point. If they were Yang Zhongyuan, they probably didn't want to stay here.
Yang Zhongyuan returned to the West Wing silently all the way, entered the room, and locked the door firmly.
After a while, he suddenly laughed softly: "Hahaha Yang Zhongshan, you have today too."
The room was very dark, and he couldn't even see his own hands clearly, but he knew how happy the expression on his face was.
Although he has always remembered those things in the palace, he doesn't always take them to heart. No matter who is young or old, there will be setbacks. He just has more than others, and the journey is difficult. Point, now that he has grown up like this, there is nothing wrong with his experience back then.
But he didn't want to let the people who didn't regard him as relatives continue to live comfortably.
To take revenge on a person is to make him feel guilty, and to reject all his thoughts when he wants to save himself.Let him not get what he wants in this life today, and wander in pain and entanglement in this life.
Yang Zhongyuan was sitting alone on the ground in this dark room, laughing softly.
Yang Zhongyuan sneered and said: "Why, you have done so many things to your heart, can't you just scold me? Besides, only your family is human, and no one will care if my father and I die."
"That's not what I meant." Yang Zhongshan was a little embarrassed, but still retorted.
