Before Yang Ming left, he wanted to meet Yang Lihua. He heard that she had been at Daxingshan Temple during this period, chanting sutras and accumulating merit for his late mother.
In the temple, under the ancient green lantern Buddha, Yang Lihua was dressed in linen, kneeling on the futon and chanting:
"I would like to dedicate the merits of chanting this sutra to Dugu Jialuo to eliminate his karmic obstacles, increase his blessings and wisdom, and be reborn on a good path or the pure land of Buddha lands in the ten directions, so that he can escape suffering and gain happiness."
"I wish to dedicate this merit to eliminate my karma, increase my blessings and wisdom, practice diligently, complete this Sambhogakaya, and be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss."
"I hope that this merit will spread to all, and we and all sentient beings will achieve Buddhahood together..."
After knowing that Yang Ming was coming, Yang Lihua did not look back. She did not say any extra words, she just said:
"Kneel down and recite "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra" and "Medicine Master Glazed Light Tathagata's Original Vow Sutra" to your grandmother, and then you can go."
Yang Ming nodded, knelt on another futon, clasped his hands together, and recited Buddhist scriptures.
This is what the old Yang family is like. They can't memorize anything else, and they know each Buddhist scripture more thoroughly than the last.
When Yang Ming was young, he had been chanting sutras with Dugu Jialuo. He could memorize the "Maha Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra", "Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra", "Miaofa Lotus Sutra" and "Buddha's Forty-Two Chapters Sutra". .
Among the rewards Yang Jian gave to Yang Ming's concubine, there were dozens of volumes of Buddhist scriptures. Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying must be able to memorize them in the future. This is the basic skill for entering the old Yang family.
After leaving Daxingshan Temple, Yang Ming went to the palace to meet his parents.
He also asked his father, Yang Guang, to go to Jingzhou this time and was short of manpower. He wanted to bring Yang Qing, Yang He and the two concubines with him.
After hearing this, Yang Guang was very happy: "They are both your brothers. My son must be treated kindly. If there is an opportunity, you can report it to the Ministry of Personnel to find a real job for them. I will approve it."
After Dugu was newly mourned, Yang Guang could not make plans for his concubine children at this time, but these children would definitely have to be well settled in the future. In any case, they were still his flesh and blood, although not as good as Yang Zhao, Yang Ming and others.
Yang Ming's proposal was exactly what he wanted.
From Yang Ming's point of view, he needs trustworthy people around him, and brothers are undoubtedly the first choice. Secondly, Yang Qing and Yang He happen to be of the same clan and are not young anymore. They have read a lot of books and can share a lot of burdens for him.
After leaving the palace, Yang Ming met the children of concubines in the mansion next to Prince Jin's Mansion.
These people and their biological mothers were unable to enter the palace, and they could not live in Yang Zhao's Jin Palace, so they were temporarily settled next door to the palace.
Yang Qing is eighteen years old this year, and Yang He is seventeen years old, and they are not married yet. They have the same mother, whose surname is Feng, from Jiangnan.
After knowing Yang Ming's purpose, Feng was filled with gratitude and pulled Yang Qing and Yang He over to kneel down in front of Yang Ming.
Yang Ming hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "You can't help it, you two are my brothers, how can I bear this kneeling?"
Yang Qing and Yang He were also very grateful to Yang Ming. They both suffered from the fact that Dugujialuo paid too much attention to direct children, which led to several sons who did not dare to take their own children seriously. As a result, the status of the children of the old Yang family who were children of common children was low. Embarrassingly low.
Now that Yang Ming intends to let the two of them serve as officials in the General Manager's Mansion, they will undoubtedly have a chance to succeed, so they are naturally grateful to Yang Ming.
That night, Yang Ming was begged by Feng to stay for dinner.
Yang Ming sat in the main seat.
It was really difficult for Yang Ming to address the two concubines. Unlike Yang Zhao and Yang Jian, who could rank each other by seniority and call them eldest brother and second brother, these two people were not in the same seniority as him.
"From now on, younger brother, I will call my two older brothers Brother Qing and Brother He. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Feng hurriedly said: "It's OK, Sanlang can just call him by his first name."
"That's not the case," Yang Ming said with a smile, "The same father means the same roots. How could I not even recognize him as a brother?"
In the Sui Dynasty, concubines like Yang Qing and Yang He could not call their biological mother mother, but aunt or aunt. Like Yang Ming, they had to call Concubine Xiao mother.
After Feng's death, they were not qualified to take care of the funeral affairs, but Yang Zhao and Yang Ming
The direct descendants came out to do it.
This shows how miserable the concubine's status is, even her own mother cannot recognize her.
However, Yang Ming's family has a special situation. Because Yang Guang will be the emperor in the future, it is unlikely that his concubine will be crowned a prince, but it is still certain to be crowned a county prince.
Therefore, the status of Yang Qing and Yang He will not be low in the future. It is most appropriate to win them over as one of our own at this time.
After a drink, and with Yang Ming deliberately getting closer, the three of them had a very interesting chat.
After making an appointment to leave Beijing, Yang Ming told them to pack their bags soon and then left.
Jing'anfang,
Dugu Feng'er only drank a bowl of porridge in two days. No matter what the maids tried, she just refused to eat.
Everywhere in the house is neatly tidied, and Dugu Feng'er's residence is also quite tidy. This shows that these maids are capable and their service is considerate.
Yang Ming asked for two more bowls of hot soup. One bowl he used to sober up, and the other bowl was placed next to him.
When Dugu Feng'er saw Yang Ming, she felt like she was seeing her only relative. After coming over, she lay on Yang Ming's knees, staring at him without blinking and drinking up the hot soup.
Yang Ming licked the bowl like he drank from Sesame Lake in the advertisement, and Dugu Feng'er couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Then he brought another bowl to Dugu Feng'er, who didn't reach out to take it, but stuck out his tongue and licked it bit by bit.
The maids on the side were stunned.
They tried their best, but they couldn't get Dugu Feng'er to eat a mouthful of food. Who knew that since His Highness, she could finish a bowl of hot soup.
"Is there meat in the house?" Yang Ming asked.
The maid said, "Your Highness, we have all kinds of meat."
"Cook some and bring it over," Yang Ming said.
After a while, two bowls of hot mutton soup were served.
Yang Ming simply squatted down, grabbed the mutton with his hands, and fed it to Dugu Feng'er bit by bit, but the latter didn't reject him at all and bit into the meat with big mouthfuls.
Because he was afraid that she would hold on, Yang Ming did not dare to let her eat more, but went to finish the other bowl himself. However, Dugu Feng'er must have been very hungry during this period, and he was fighting for more food.
Yang Ming got rid of him all the way, and she dragged him all the way behind.
"Okay, okay, I've already eaten it all. Let's eat again tomorrow," Yang Ming smiled and raised the empty bowl in his hand to her. Only then did Dugu Feng'er give up.
So Yang Ming ordered the maids to take down the empty bowls, and then asked them to prepare hot water for bathing.
Dugu Feng'er didn't allow anyone to touch her, otherwise they would bite them. Yang Ming had no choice but to untie her clothes himself, then pick her up and put her gently into the bathtub.
Dugu Feng'er grabbed Yang Ming's wrist with one hand, as if she was afraid that he would leave. She let others clean her body, but her eyes always fell on Yang Ming's face, never moving away for a moment.
"My grandmother's name is Dugu Jialuo. She was very good to you, but she is gone now. In the future, you have to learn to speak and chant sutras for her to accumulate merit. Do you understand?"
When Dugu Feng'er heard the four words Dugu Jialuo, a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes. After a moment, she looked at Yang Ming again and nodded lightly.
After she finished bathing, Yang Ming hugged her and climbed onto the bed. It wasn't until Dugu Feng'er fell into a deep sleep that he let go of her arm.
"The guards will come over the day after tomorrow to send you away first. Wait for me at the official post in Shangluo County. Make preparations early."
The leading maid whispered in agreement.
Yang Ming saw the performance of this maid just now. She was very nice and patient. She always said some interesting words to make Feng'er happy.
"What's your name?" Yang Ming asked.
The maid timidly said: "My real name is Ah Qi, and the princess gave me the name Wenwan."
Her real name is Ah Qi. It can be basically assumed that she is the seventh eldest child in the family.
It's a bit of a trick for ordinary people to name their children, as long as they include numbers, for example
Li San must be ranked third. For example, Wang Sixi must be ranked fourth.
The old Yang family is no exception, and there is also the fifth eldest princess, Yang Awu.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "You have six sisters?"
Ah Qi nodded and said, "Your Highness is so powerful. I have six sisters and one brother."
Yes, your parents finally gave birth to a son.
Yang Ming smiled: "Take good care of her. As long as you serve her well, I will give you a big reward."
Ah Qi hurriedly knelt down and said, "I dare not ask for reward, but I want His Highness to be satisfied."
Yang Ming left with peace of mind.
Where to sleep tonight is a headache. When he returned to the palace, it was already midnight.
But Xu Jing said that neither of them slept, just waiting for him to come back.
It is easier said than done to protect both rain and dew.
Yang Yinjiang was the princess and slept in the same room as Yang Ming, so Yang Ming went to his dormitory first.
Yang Yinjiang, who looked tired, stood up quickly, changed Yang Ming's clothes in person, and asked the maid to prepare to wash Yang Ming.
"Call Chen Shuyi," Yang Ming said casually, and the maid went out.
Yang Yinjiang smiled and said, "What? Are you tired of me so quickly?"
"You guessed what I'm going to do?" Yang Ming said blankly.
Yang Yinjiang curled her lips: "Some people can't stop once they're exposed to fishy food, but you have to pay attention to your body."
Yang Ming nodded: "Don't worry."
Chen Shuying had already fallen asleep, but someone suddenly woke her up. She was sleepy-eyed and unkempt.
"What's wrong?" Chen Shuyi squinted her eyes and was lost in the lake road.
Seeing this, Yang Ming waved his hands helplessly, losing all interest.
"It's okay, let's go."
Chen Shuyi looked at Yang Yinjiang in confusion, who smiled and said: "His Royal Highness wants you to sleep with him, but you don't seem to be ready."
"Ah?" Chen Shuyi was stunned and looked at Yang Ming blankly. She was indeed not prepared in any way.
Although she had expected this day for a long time, she didn't expect it to happen so soon. You just got married, and you already have a concubine and a concubine. How can you still think of me?
Chen Shuyi thought for a while, then Nuonuo said, "Then I'll go back and clean up?"
Yang Ming took off his boots and went to bed: "Forget it, let's do it another day."
Yang Yinjiang quickly winked at Chen Shuyi, who understood and quietly retreated.
Just when Yang Ming was lost in thought, he felt a shiny arm stretching out from under the quilt.
He could already smell the familiar body fragrance.
But he was really sleepy,
You can do whatever you want, I'm too lazy to move...
