"Royal sister-in-law, you eat more, no, it's my little nephew who eats more." Jiang Linyin ate without forgetting to pick up some food for Xue Ningxi.
"How do you know if he is a nephew or a niece?" Jiang Linghe asked curiously.
"I'm just guessing. The first born in our Jiang family are both older brothers. Brother Huang, aren't you and me the same?" Jiang Liyin stopped eating and turned to look at Jiang Linghe for his answer.
Jiang Linghe nodded, "Yes. You are so clever!"
"I'll just take it as a compliment from you, Brother Huang!" Jiang Liyin said proudly and continued to indulge in the delicious food.
Jiang Liyin and the four of them were enjoying their meal happily, but the capital of Fengli and Duke Yang's Mansion were shrouded in dark clouds.
"Father, our Yang family's merits are still there. The new emperor ascends the throne and the government is not stable. He will not do anything to us." Yang Baili, the father of Yang Shili and Yang Fu, said to Yang Guogong and Yang Qianli in the study.
Yang Baili's martial arts skills are not first-class, and his talents are not outstanding, so his achievements are not as good as his father's. He is only a fifth-rank military officer. However, he has been the heir apparent since he was born. Now, as long as Yang Guogong abdicates, he can inherit the title of Yang Guogong hereditary.
The title of Yang Guogong can be hereditary for three generations. After the third generation, that is, the generation after Yang Shili, if it were not for the merits he earned, Yang Guogong would no longer exist.
However, after having Yang Shili, his position as the heir apparent became Yang Shili's.
Fortunately, Yang Shili had been able to strive for success since he was a child and showed extraordinary talent in literature. He was selected as the prince's companion since he was a child. Their family is all military officers, so it would be good to start from Yang Shili as a civil servant. After all, Feng Li has emphasized civility over military affairs since the late emperor.
The same is certainly true for Cintiq.
As for Yang Qianli, Yang Guogong's name is taken from "One Thousand Miles of Water". The original intention of choosing this name was to hope that he would become a person who writes unrestrained and free-spirited articles in the future. Unexpectedly, Yang Guogong joined the army, shed his blood on the battlefield, and made meritorious service. Then he returned to the capital and was knighted.
Duke Yang Guogong named his son Yang Baili, hoping that he would become one of the best talents in a hundred.
I named my grandson Yang Shili, which comes from "Looking around at the light of the mountains and the light of the water, and leaning against the railing for ten miles, the fragrance of wildflowers and lotuses" comes from. '
The names of the three people represent different meanings, but they also have the same meaning.
"Baili, do you know why you are only from the fifth rank?" Yang Guogong did not answer for a long time, and asked this question suddenly.
He was deep in thought and mourning the loss of his two grandchildren.
He was reflecting, did he really do something wrong?
"Why?" Yang Baili really wanted to know, and asked his father for an answer eagerly and a little funny.
"Because you don't have the courage to do big things." Yang Guogong said very straightforwardly. A person who aspires to be a high official will definitely not be able to become a high official.
"Perhaps, the good days of our Yang family have come to an end. Unexpectedly, I, Yang Qianli, could not even maintain the achievements of my generation." Yang Guogong sighed sadly.
He was approaching the age of hearing, and he had already looked down on the illusory things like Lord Fugui. Only now did he understand that the most important thing was for the family to be together neatly.
Unfortunately, he understood it too late.
"Father, what do you mean? You and I were not involved in the salt trafficking case. The merits of our Yang family will not be absent, father!" Before Yang Baili could understand what the courage to do great things is, he was struck by Yang Guogong's words. 'The good times are over' scared me.
He couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe that he was Yang Guogong's legitimate son the day before, but he would have nothing in the future?
He had already lost his son!
"Evil son! If it weren't for that evil son Yang Fu, the Yang family wouldn't be here today!" Yang Baili shouted, and his roar could be heard inside and outside the courtyard.
"Husband, my Fu'er! How do you think my Fu'er is doing?" Luo Shi couldn't care less about the boring rules about banning women from entering the study room now. All she could think about was what Yang Baili had just called 'Yang Fu' .
Luo Shi broke through the door directly, grabbed Yang Baili's arm and asked.
It was Yang Guogong and Yang Baili's father and son who made the decision to abandon the newborn Yang Fu.
Afterwards, they told Luo that their second child had died in infancy.
The public opinion is that only Yang Shili, the doctor who delivered the child, was all silenced.
Except for Yang Guogong and Yang Baili, no third person will know about this.
They thought that if a newborn child was abandoned outside, the child would surely have died long ago.
In fact, they were reluctant to let go at first, but they had no choice. This child was an ominous person and would bring them bad luck. The Yang family had finally achieved such feats, and they couldn't just die because of a child overnight.
Little did they know, the child miraculously survived and grew up.
And he met his brother Yang Shili who looked exactly like him.
Since then, the child has been secretly cultivating power and inquiring into everything about Yang Guogong's mansion. The name Luo Shi called out when he was in a coma planted the seeds of doubt in his heart.
Once, accidentally, he actually heard a conversation about his life experience.
"Baili, if that child is still alive, he should be as old as Shili." Yang Guogong and Yang Baili looked at Yang Shili not far away, and suddenly said this with emotion.
"Father, don't mention that evil son. He is an ominous person and will bring bad luck to our Yang family." Yang Baili didn't want to hear Yang Fu's existence, and his tone was very disgusting. He felt that mentioning Yang Fu was bad luck.
"I named him 'Fu' because I hope he will bring good luck to the Yang family. As a result..." Yang Fu could no longer hear the rest. He only knew that it turned out that he was also a child of this family and was the son of Yang Fu. Shili's younger brother, he can also enjoy the life of a noble son instead of the life of a beggar.
It turns out that he is an unknown person?
It turns out that he was abandoned.
After that day, he never imitated Yang Shili again, but decided to do something spectacular to make them regret their decision. He wanted to prove to them that he was not an unknown person.
Fengli's economy is prosperous. Although merchants do not have a high status as officials, the money earned by merchants can also lead a life as wealthy as an official's, or even more luxurious than an official's life.
He is indeed a good businessman. Within a few years, he has become the largest underground salt merchant in Fengli.
But there is always a risk when he does this. Officials all aim to make meritorious deeds by catching the viper.
He also learned to hide his identity very well.
Until he found out that his father, who was very happy with his achievements, was also checking him out, so he went to find Yang Guogong.
He told him who he was and how he knew his identity.
He warned Yang Guogong that if his son continued to investigate like this, he would not mind telling the world about the secrets of their Yang family.
