After Yang Ming came in, the first thing he looked at was Yang.
This woman is very good-looking, and she has the aura of a monastic in her body. To put it bluntly, she is a person who does not live in the world.
People who have been practicing for a long time have this tune. Mortals call it immortal energy. In fact, they usually move less and worry less, so that their body movements and facial expressions tend to be single. This is when you are full and have nothing to do. She would not be like this after being hungry for a few days.
"I have met Your Highness," Yang stood up to receive the blessing.
Yang Ming didn't know this woman's maiden name, but she now gave herself a Buddhist name, Yang Miaozhi.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "We are on our own, so there is no need to be polite. How should we discuss seniority?"
"Your Highness should be my cousin," Yang Miaozhi said with a smile.
Yang Jian is Yang Xiong's clan father, that is to say, Yang Jian is the ancestral brother of Yang Xiong's father, so Yang Xiong and Yang Guang are from the same generation, and Yang Miaozhi and Yang Ming are also from the same generation.
In the Sui Dynasty, women who had not yet left the palace also called themselves concubines, called concubines Weiming, that is, they were not yet married.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "In my aunt's place, just call me family."
Yang Miaozhi smiled and nodded. She had a good impression of Yang Ming, because he also knew who did it to Dong Ducheng of Wuhua. Moreover, her uncle Yang Xiong and father Yang Da were both very close to the prince, and Yan Xiaotang is her niece.
After Li Jiancheng first greeted Yang Lihua and Yang Miaozhi, he looked at Yuan Tiangang politely:
"Mr. Yuan, we meet again."
Yuan Tiangang has been secretly looking at Yang Ming since he came in. Hearing Jiancheng's greeting, he quickly smiled and said:
"Hello, sir."
Young Master, this is not a casual name. Only the son of a high official can be called Young Master. In some dynasties, only the sons of prime ministers can be called this way. Until the Song Dynasty, the sons of wealthy noble families, or young men with a little knowledge, could also be called this way. It was regarded as a good name. Lowering the status of a young master.
In the Sui Dynasty, only the son of a duke was considered a prince.
Yang Ming sat down next to Yang Lihua and glanced at the plate of fried beans next to him.
Your family really loves to eat this. If you eat too much of this stuff, you will develop gallstones.
"Auntie, don't eat fried beans all the time. Just satisfy your craving once in a while," Yang Ming said with a smile.
Yang Lihua nodded and asked the maid to take the fried beans very obediently, which surprised Yang Ming.
As people get older, do they all listen to advice like this?
At this time, Yang Ming had the opportunity to look at Yuan Tiangang:
"I heard that my husband is good at fortune-telling and fortune-telling. Gute came to meet me. It seems that you have also done fortune-telling for my cousin, right?"
Yang laughed in advance and said: "After we met, my husband said that I was born with a very precious life, but unfortunately I was destined to be hit by a evil star. My numerology has changed. I should become a wife as soon as possible to avoid being pursued by the evil star."
Is it so mysterious? Yang Ming joked: "I heard that my cousin and Wu Hua's son, uh..."
Yang Miaozhi was not shy at all and said bluntly: "I have been promised to marry the warrior scholar Xun. Has the prince seen him in Luoyang?"
Yang Ming shook his head: "I have seen Wuhua, but I have never seen Shitong."
"He is in the guest room in the front yard now," Yang Miaozhi was hinting to Yang Ming, "Let's meet him. After all, he will be your relative in the future. I still hope you will take care of him."
Who is Yang Ming? How could he not understand the meaning of the other party's words? He was surprised:
"Since my cousin has already promised to marry, she is one of our own, why is she in the front yard?"
"I don't see any outsiders here," Yang Lihua said with a smile, "But he's not considered an outsider now, let him come in."
The maid then went down to call someone.
At this time, Yang Lihua turned to look at Yang Ming and said, "This Mr. Yuan has also been shown to Warrior Xun. What do you think?"
What else can I say? He was supposed to be the queen's father, but he met an evil star, so he must not be able to do it now. Am I the evil star?
Yang Ming smiled and said: "To be favored by my cousin must be of extremely high character. Because women are noble, a noble girl must be born in the family."
Yang Lihua was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at Yang Miaozhi and Yuan Tiangang who were also stunned.
"I asked you to guess, just to play with you. Did you really guess it right?" Yang Lihua looked incredulous.
Yang Ming pretended to be stupid and said: "Is it difficult to guess? What is the origin of warrior Xun? Isn't it good luck to marry my Sui clan? Aren't his children the children of my cousin? They are naturally noble."
"Then how did you guess that it was a noble daughter, not a noble son?" Yang Lihua said in surprise.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "My cousin is a nobleman, and warriors are rich because of their daughters. It is difficult for a son to inherit wealth, so he can only be a girl."
"Not bad in general," Yuan Tiangang sighed: "I didn't expect that the prince is also good at physiognomy."
"Haha." Yang Lihua said with a smile: "I am a good nephew who has often been to the Secretary's Province since he was a child. He has a wide range of interests and extraordinary knowledge. Jiancheng has benefited a lot."
Li Jiancheng hurriedly said: "It is indeed true. In my heart, the prince is no different from heaven and man."
At this time, the warrior Yu was brought in.
Yang Ming's attention was instantly attracted to this person. Oh my God, no wonder Yang Miaozhi is willing to marry. Yang Ming has only seen this appearance and temperament in Pei Ju.
"It's really extraordinary for a businessman to have such magnanimity," Yang Ming praised.
Yang Miaozhi was instantly overjoyed: "The prince praised you, but you still don't want to thank me."
The warrior Xun said politely: "I, the warrior Xun, have met the prince."
Yang Ming smiled and nodded, motioning for the other party to sit down.
This man is tall and has a good temperament, which makes people look very pleasing to the eye. Wu Zetian probably inherited his father's appearance, otherwise Li Zhi would not dare to take such a big risk and sleep with his father's woman.
"Existing official position?" Yang Ming asked.
The warrior Xun replied: "Return to your highness and serve as Jin Cao in Wannian County."
At this time, Yang's eyes looked towards Yang Ming.
Warrior Xun was able to go to Wannian County because Yang Xiong also served as Jing Zhaoyin. With the strength of Yang Xiong and Yang Da, they could have made better arrangements. However, Warrior Xun's background was really poor. He was in the timber business. .
Yamen at all levels in the imperial city were watched by many children of aristocratic families. If you let a businessman in, it would cause public outrage, and Yang Xiong did not want to provoke criticism.
But if it was arranged by Yang Ming, no one would dare to say anything.
Yang Ming remained silent, just smiled and nodded. He could see Yang's intention, but I won't take the initiative to help if you don't ask me, otherwise my help will be too worthless.
"Shitong has been familiar with classics since he was a child, and he is knowledgeable." Seeing that Yang Ming didn't speak, Yang Miaozhi had to take the initiative and said:
"The Wu family made great efforts to build the Eastern Capital. My uncle originally wanted to give Shi Xun a title, but at that time Chu Gong Yang Su strongly opposed it and used Shi Xun's family background as an excuse, so that the matter could not be accomplished."
Family status? Where did he come from?
Yang Ming nodded: "Gongren used to be in charge of the staff, didn't you mention it to him?"
Yang Gongren is Yang Miaozhi's cousin. Yang Ming deliberately mentioned the Ministry of Personnel to hint to the other party that he should not think about honors and just find a better official position.
Yang Miaozhi said: "I am the daughter of a clan, and marrying someone without honors is not considered a match. My cousin Gongren has no control over the honors."
"I can't control it," Yang Ming said with a smile.
Yang Miaozhi hurriedly said: "The prince is humbled. You have the power to supervise the country. If you request your majesty to grant a title or honor, your majesty will not reject it."
"Just help me," Yang Lihua also advised: "We can't let her marry a commoner, right?"
Yang Ming had a look of confusion on his face: "In the current expedition ahead, many soldiers have died in other places, and they can't even get a shadow of the family. At this juncture, it is not appropriate to give the Lordship to someone outside the army. It is really unjustifiable. When the soldiers in front come back, You’ll get emotional.”
Yang Lihua knew that what Yang Ming said made sense. At this time, if you want to be awarded a lordship, you should also be granted a title among the army. Those who have made no contribution will be given honors. When the soldiers on the front line return with their merits, it is impossible not to get emotional.
At that time, the military would be very powerful, and the emperor and prince would have to take care of other people's emotions. Maybe granting honors to the warrior Yu would be a disaster.
In front of outsiders, Yang Lihua couldn't say it clearly, so she gave Yang Miaozhi a don't worry look.
Yang Miaozhi sighed inwardly and stopped forcing it.
Yang Ming saw this and motioned for Jiancheng and Yuan Tiangang to go out first. After they left, he continued:
"Liaodong used troops, Shandong civil uprising, and deposed the ambassador Zhang Xutuo. He worked hard and made great achievements. There is no honorary title yet. Although the clan can consider it at its discretion, now is not the time. If you want to be awarded the honorary title, you must make contributions."
Yang Miaozhi was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "Shitong doesn't know how to lead the army, how can he contribute?"
Yang Lihua was scheming and knew that the next answer would be best if she said it for Yang Ming, so she said:
"There is nothing better than to contribute money and effort. The expeditionary army and logistics are safe for the time being, but Zhang Xutuo in Shandong is currently stretched thin. People who know the righteousness like Yang Xuangan have lent 300,000 dan of food, and the Dugu family has also secretly helped. Only when the country shares its worries with the king can it enjoy honor in the world. Scholars should understand this truth from now on, and then the glory of their descendants should not be a problem."
The warrior Xun understood the meaning immediately, stood up quickly and said: "My family has a small amount of money, and I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty."
That's right, Yang Ming smiled and nodded.
Yang Miaozhi curled her lips. I am a member of the clan. Do I have to spend money to seek a title for my future husband?
She had no idea how valuable the future lord would be. Yang Guang would not grant him the title unless he had great merit, and the same was true for Yang Ming.
Yang Jian was given the title of Lord, which was a helpless move. Do you think he wanted to be granted the title?
The lord of the Sui Dynasty who was occupying the toilet and did not give up was gone to the sea. After this group of people died, it was uncertain whether the descendants could inherit it.
Anyway, it’s just one point. You have no merit and are of no use to the emperor. Do you want to eat the treasury for free? no way!
Yang Miaozhi didn't have much money, and Yang Da didn't have a son, but the warrior Xun was really rich, because their family also supplied the wood for Jinyang Palace, and they made a lot of money.
Of course, in the Sui Dynasty, businessmen made money with small profits, which were far incomparable with the rich and powerful families. Moreover, they had no social status and looked at people's faces everywhere. The warrior Yu and his family also wanted to use Yang Da to stand up and sing. Achieve class crossing.
Just like Yun Dingxing's daughter became Yang Yong's concubine and completely turned over.
Once a businessman becomes big and strong, he will want to enter the system. That is the ultimate goal.
