Lao Hu is also very mysterious, and sometimes disappears for several days, or even ten days and a half.
Every time An Qing asked Yang Xuan, the answer he got was: tell him to do something.
But when Lao Hu comes back, it won't take long for news to come from outside.
The imperial army was defeated and the Yan army was victorious.
At that time, Anqing had speculation that Yang Xuan had a hidden power in his hands.
Coupled with the fact that Yang Xuan later produced the secret edict left by his father before his death, Anqing was sure that his father must have left behind some back-up plan.
And it is very likely that it is in Yang Xuan's hands.
She knew that there were some things that she couldn't get involved in, so she never asked any more questions.
She just needs to take care of the family, be a virtuous wife, and not cause trouble to Yang Xuan or distract him.
Now that Yang Xuan was acting like this suddenly, she was worried that something big was going to happen again.
…
After Lao Hu went to the study, Yang Xuan also left the study.
During dinner, both he and An Qing were a little absent-minded.
Lying in bed at night.
After all, Yang Xuan had no intention of hiding it from An Qing. She was also an insider about what happened back then.
"There's news about Junior Sister!" He spoke first.
"Little junior sister?"
"You mean...Miaojin?"
An Qing was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses.
This name had not appeared in her ears for more than ten years. It was normal for her to not react when she heard it suddenly.
Yang Xuan hummed softly.
"She... how is she now?" An Qing asked.
"I'm a monk!" Yang Xuan said truthfully.
"A monk?" Her reaction was very similar to Yang Xuan's.
Then Yang Xuan told An Qing what Lao Hu told him.
After hearing this, Anqing was silent for a long time.
"How about... you take her back!" An Qing said.
The situation back then was that only if Xu Miaojin got married or completely separated from Yang Xuan could both she and Yang Xuan survive.
Obviously, Xu Miaojin had her own pride and ideas. She didn't want to become a vassal of a certain prince, so she resolutely chose to run away from home and become a monk.
Now, more than ten years have passed, and no one can stop her and Yang Xuan anymore.
If Yang Xuan was willing to take Xu Miaojin back, she would have no objection.
She is now in her forties and has looked past many things.
"You really want someone to steal your man from you?" After hearing An Qing's words, Yang Xuan couldn't help but laugh and joke.
"I am already old, but she is still young." An Qing said slowly.
"What are you talking about? In my eyes, you have always been the same as before, nothing has changed." Yang Xuan said in a serious tone.
"You just know how to make me happy." An Qing lightly hit Yang Xuan.
"No matter what, I told the truth."
"If you don't believe me, just touch it!" To show that he was not telling lies, Yang Xuan took An Qing's hand and put it on his chest.
"No formality!" An Qing said angrily.
"I'm serious, just take her back."
"The fourth brother will not object, and the fourth sister-in-law will not say anything, but will support it."
"You have never cared about what the courtiers say, so what do you have to worry about?"
Hearing this, Yang Xuan let out a long sigh: "More than ten years have passed, how can it be the same now as it was back then!"
"Let me find time to go and see the situation first before we talk!"
"Just decide for yourself." An Qing also sighed.
More than ten years are enough to change a lot of things, and it can also change a person.
After all, even the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was already the third emperor.
"I don't want to think about it anymore, go to sleep!"
"Um!"
…
The next day, Yang Xuan asked the housekeeper to prepare some sacrifices and living supplies for him.
He is going to Zhongshan.
The junior sister was found, and he had to tell the teacher.
Moreover, during the Chinese New Year this year, he was still away fighting, so he did not go to pay homage to Zhu Biao, so he had to make up for it and talk to him about the situation of the Ming Dynasty.
In order to avoid Zhu Biao still thinking about it down there.
Yang Xuan found Huzi and asked him to go to the Yamen to ask for leave.
This time when I go to Zhongshan, I have to take Huzi and Lanxiang, as well as their son Xiaohu, to see Lanyu.
Several people set off early and arrived at Zhongshan before noon.
Seeing Lan Yu sunbathing outside the door, Yang Xuan quickly dismounted and walked over.
"Brother, why are you staying outside?"
"Of course I'm waiting for you." Hearing the voice, Lan Yu opened her eyes and saw Yang Xuan, showing a smile.
"I just decided to come here yesterday. How come you knew about it in advance?" Yang Xuan asked.
"Uncle Yang, my father has been sitting outside every day these days. He said you would definitely come." Lan Yu's son Lan Chun came over and explained.
Hearing this, Yang Xuan felt moved and sour in his heart.
"Father!"
"My father-in-law!"
"Grandpa!"
Huzi's family of three also got off the carriage and walked over.
"Oh, it's my grandson, come and let grandpa hug him!" At the moment she saw Xiaohu, Lan Yu's face turned into a chrysanthemum smile.
There is still the appearance of the famous Liang Guogong back then, just like a little old man who dotes on his grandson.
Yang Xuan did not disturb the grandfather and grandson, and directed Huzi and Lan Chun to move the supplies from the carriage down.
Everyone entered the courtyard, and Lan Yu's family members also came out.
The little tiger became a group favorite, and several elders teased him.
Lan Yu handed Xiaohu to her daughter and went to talk to Yang Xuan.
He is older than Lao Hu.
Already over sixty and almost seventy.
When he was young, he went to the battlefield and risked his life, leaving scars all over his body.
Now that I am older, those pains have also come to me.
I have to use a cane when walking, and my body is stooped.
Yang Xuan felt very uncomfortable when he saw this. No matter how heroic a person is, he cannot withstand time.
Just like Lao Zhu, he thought that the systems he set could be passed down for generations to come.
But as time goes by, changes have to happen.
"Brother, your body..."
"You are just old after all, just living on your last breath!"
"But my Lan Yu's life is worth it!"
Lan Yu looked at Yang Xuan and smiled.
"Tomorrow I will ask the imperial doctor to take a look at it for you." Yang Xuan said.
"Okay." Lan Yu did not refuse Yang Xuan's kindness.
He knew that he wouldn't live for a few more years, but he didn't want Yang Xuan to regret because he couldn't help.
"I see you brought quite a lot of sacrifices today!" Lan Yu changed the subject.
"Well, I still need to go see the teacher." Yang Xuan said.
"You have to go and see."
"In the blink of an eye, Xu Shuai has been gone for more than 20 years. Time flies so fast!"
Lan Yu sighed with emotion.
"Then let's not waste time. Come back and have a drink when you're done." Lan Yu added.
"Yes." Yang Xuan nodded, then took the sacrifice and headed towards Zhu Biao's mausoleum with Lan Yu.
