In the big room, Yang Yang was sitting upright, which was completely different from what he had done before. It seemed that this year's experience in the frontier had made Yang Yang understand some rules.
Gu Xiaotian entered the big room, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, eldest brother, I'm late, I'm sorry."
Yang Yang's father, Yang Wei, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, nephew, hurry up and take your seat." After saying that, he glanced at the people behind him and the rest of the Yang family's relatives sitting in the seats, "If you have nothing to do, leave first. Yang'er stays."
Yang Wei's words at home were naturally effective, and these relatives stood up and left without asking for any reason.
Gu Xiaotian sat down, looked at Yang Wei and said, "Uncle, my grandfather should have told you the general story?"
Without his relatives present, Yang Yang immediately collapsed, and even Yang Wei relaxed a bit, not looking like the same person as before.
Yang Yang put his feet on the table, hugged his head and said, "Don't worry, Brother Gu, if this old man doesn't agree, I will send people from the border to help you pacify the Peng family!"
Yang Wei was very happy to save his son's life.
But neither of them expected that Gu Xiaotian and Yang Yang were really good at it. When they returned to Kyoto a year later, they really looked like heroes.
Yang Wei patted Yang Yang's legs, looked at Gu Xiaotian and said, "My dear nephew, logically speaking, this is a matter between your Gu family and Peng family. Our Yang family can completely protect ourselves and not get involved."
Before Yang Wei finished speaking, Yang Yang suddenly stood up, slapped the table and said angrily: "Old man, if you don't want to help, then don't help. Are you still selling favors here?"
Yang Wei sighed. This Yang Yang was still too impulsive, but he was relieved. The entire Yang family didn't know how much mess they had to deal with behind the scenes.
Yang Wei comforted him: "I didn't say I wouldn't help, I'm just a good nephew. If this thing comes to pass, the mess behind it will be easy to deal with. If it doesn't come to pass, have you ever thought about the consequences?"
Gu Xiaotian has never thought about this. He just wanted to deal with Peng Wen at first. As for the survival of the Peng family, Gu Xiaotian has never thought about it carefully.
But since Hua Nianliang was discovered yesterday, Gu Xiaotian and Yang Yang have more or less understood Peng Wen's ambition. It is not just a simple personal grudge, but a confrontation between the major families in Kyoto.
One wrong step and it's an abyss.
As long as you take this step, there will be no turning back.
Gu Xiaotian said in a low tone: "If uncle is not willing to help, I will naturally not force him."
After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.
Yang Yang angrily pointed at Yang Wei's nose and cursed, mostly saying that Yang Wei was ruthless and unjust, and fell into the eyes of snobbery.
Gu Xiaotian walked to the door of the house, turned around and said, "Uncle, I only ask you to promise me one thing."
Yang Wei stood up and said, "My dear nephew, it doesn't matter if you say so."
"If the Gu family really loses this time, I hope the Yang family can accept the Gu family's servants and give them a home."
Gu Xiaotian walked out of the big room feeling a little disappointed, but he respected Yang Wei's choice.
Yang Wei also felt a little guilty. Over the years, the Peng family in the court had always targeted the Yang family to suppress the Yang family's influence in the court.
Fortunately, most of the Yang family are military generals. Even if they are severely suppressed, they can still stand firm in the court with force.
The Gu family is different. The two generations, Gu Le and Gu Feng, take care of the Yang family's business in the business world, and even take the initiative to hand over the entire city's business to the Yang family.
Yang Wei was also a person who missed love, so he asked Yang Yang to take more care of Gu Xiaotian. However, when it concerned the entire family, he still hesitated.
In this regard, he felt ashamed to have Yang Yang's spirit.
He is old and he doesn't dare to gamble anymore.
Yang Yang rushed out of the house angrily and caught up with Gu Xiaotian who had not gone far. He hooked his shoulders generously and said: "Brother Gu, this old man doesn't care about you, I don't care about you! If I, Yang Yang, were in this world, I can't live for a day without taking action when you are in trouble!"
Gu Xiaotian glanced at Yang Yang gratefully. Now this eldest brother is really the only one who still remembers him.
But he couldn't involve the Yang family. After all, Yang Yang was not the head of the Yang family and couldn't make decisions.
In addition, Yang Yang is the young master of the family.
If they really want to forcefully intervene, it would represent the attitude of the Yang family.
Gu Xiaotian squeezed out a smile and half-rejected: "Brother Yang, I will remember your kindness, but as for your identity, I'd better wait and see what happens. If I really encounter a hurdle that I can't get over, I will definitely Opened to you."
Yang Yang was stunned on the spot, watching Gu Xiaotian's figure getting further and further away.
After Gu Xiaotian completely walked out of Yang's house, Yang Yang reacted as if waking up from a dream. He immediately rushed back to the main room, pointed at Yang Wei's nose and said, "I want to be the head of the family now, do you agree or not?"
...
Two hours later, Hua Nianliang appeared at the end of the street as promised, and saw that Gu Xiaotian had been waiting here for a long time.
Hua Nianliang apologized: "Master, I'm late."
Gu Xiaotian waved his hand, "No problem, go back home."
The two of them returned to the ancient mansion together. Hua Nianliang had a wonderful two hours. He ate good food and bought expensive things. He was somewhat free and happy.
Gu Xiaotian was different. After eating in the Yang family, his face was as ugly as an eggplant beaten by frost.
Logically speaking, as Hua Nianliang is a servant, she has no right to interfere with her master's affairs. But after all, she had just entered the Gu Mansion, and she had never been a servant of a wealthy family before. These rules did not yet have a standard in her heart. Seeing Gu Xiaotian's face turned ugly, she asked with concern: "Master, what happened?" .
He still called him Master, but the question he asked was a bit over the line.
The young master waved his hand and stared at Hua Nianliang fiercely. Then he realized that he had gone too far, so he sighed and walked forward alone.
Hua Nianliang's intentions are good. If anything happens to the young master, she will inevitably be concerned. In addition, not long after entering the Gu family, there are differences between master and servant. He was also a disciple of Yihua Palace and had an inextricable relationship with Peng Wen. Naturally, Gu Xiaotian would not be too kind to her. After all, he wanted to nip things in the bud.
Back at Gu's house, Gu Xiaotian casually told Hua Nianliang to go about his own business, and then went straight to Gu Le's room alone.
Pushing open the door of Gu Le's room, Gu Le was sitting on the center seat, flipping through his account book. Seeing his little grandson's look of disappointment, he immediately stood up, poured tea and water, and asked, "What's the matter? His face is so ugly?"
Gu Xiaotian pulled out a chair and sat down, saying casually: "Grandpa, the Yang family probably won't help us."
Gu Le had actually been mentally prepared for this answer. There was a generation gap between him and Yang Wei, and he had watched Yang Wei step by step from the young head of the family to his current position as the head of the Yang family.
He and Yang Wei are naturally the elders giving advice to the younger ones, but he is not overbearing either. In the Gu family, Gu Le can naturally veto everyone's objections with one vote, because this is his own territory and he can have the final say. But the Yang family is different. After all, it involves an entire big family with dozens of people, so naturally they have no right to help others make decisions.
It's a matter of affection to help, and it's also a duty not to help.
Gu Le said with a smile: "If you don't want to help, then you won't. The Yang family made the right decision. If they really plan to help at all costs, I will be a little worried."
There are many twists and turns here. If the Yang family is really desperate to help, it is obviously optimistic. The Gu family alone is unlikely to severely damage the Peng family. If you help, you can get a share of it. soup.
But now, the Yang family chooses to sit back and watch, which proves that the Yang family is actually more optimistic about the Gu family and does not want others to criticize them.
Yang Wei's approach can be described as extremely high.
Tomorrow is the day when Peng Wen returns to Beijing, and undercurrents begin to surge throughout Kyoto.
Someone on the street began to spread the rumor, and it spread to thousands of households.
The storytellers in the teahouse all said metaphorically: "Kyoto is going to change."
In the evening, Yang Yang personally came to Gu's house and insisted that Gu Xiaotian go out for a drink with him. Gu Xiaotian wanted to make some adjustments and start the deployment tomorrow, but he couldn't resist Yang Yang's force and was dragged to the restaurant.
Naturally, Gu Xiaotian’s current personal bodyguard, Hua Nianliang, was accompanying him.
In the restaurant, Yang Yang apologized to Gu Xiaotian, "Brother Gu, the old man, the head of the Yang family, won't give it to me now, but don't worry, I've sent an order to the frontier, and I have three hundred people in Tianyang camp. The elite cavalry are rushing towards Kyoto at high speed.
, I wish you a helping hand! "
Tianyang Camp is an elite battalion commanded by Yang Yang on the frontier. There are many warriors in the camp who have made countless military exploits. Among them are many heroes from all walks of life, most of whom were personally selected by Yang Yang.
This has nothing to do with the power of the Yang family. Tianyang Camp only obeys the orders of Yang Yang, so it is considered Yang Yang's personal power.
Gu Xiaotian said gratefully: "Brother Yang, I will definitely keep this kindness in my heart."
Yang Yang patted Gu Xiaotian on the shoulder, "What difference do we have between you and me? Let's drink!"
While pushing cups and changing cups, the two of them drank to the point of drunkenness. In the end, it was Hua Nianliang, a weak woman, who carried the two of them back to their respective mansions.
The next day, a person who Gu Xiaotian never expected found the Gu family.
The visitor prepared two carriages as a generous gift. He lingered outside the gate of the Gu family like a lowly person for a long time, and finally knocked gently on the gate of the Gu family.
The young man from the Gu family opened the door and immediately said respectfully: "Master Peng, who are you looking for today?"
Peng Yihua, the head of the Peng family, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves, and immediately ordered two carriages to be pulled over. He pointed at the generous gift and said with a smile: "Come to see the ancient master. Please let me know. Peng is at the door." wait."
Naturally, the boy didn't ask any more questions, so he immediately turned around and informed Gu Le.
Gu Le listened to the report in the room and suddenly frowned. There were rumors throughout Kyoto that the Gu family and the Peng family were about to confront each other. How could Peng Yihua choose the day when Peng Wen returned to Beijing to give gifts?
However, he is the head of the Peng family after all, so naturally he cannot hang it out at the door, "Let him in."
