The voice was unfamiliar and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone followed the sound and found that the source of the sound was a middle-aged man with a gentle manner and elegant demeanor, who looked as gentle as jade.
This made everyone unsure whether it was this person speaking.
"You, what did you say?" Yang Meng glared at the other party.
Zhao Wenjing frowned and said angrily: "I said you are a slave!"
"You, who are you? Why do you dare to say such arrogant words!" Yang Meng was trembling with anger, "This is the Yang family mansion, how can you speak!?"
"I'm just telling the truth. You would rather bow to the barbarians than rise up to resist. What are you if you are not a slave?"
Zhao Wenjing sneered, turned around and greeted the old patriarch, "Old Yang, I'm sorry, I'm an outsider, I shouldn't say more, but this person is really disgusting, and I can't stand it."
Seeing his extraordinary bearing, the old patriarch didn't get angry. He returned the gift and asked about the other person's identity.
"Bingzhou Zhao Wenjing." Zhao Wenjing replied with a little pride.
Hearing the other party's name, the old patriarch was shocked and quickly confirmed: "Could it be the Zhao family of Taiyuan?"
Zhao Wenjing nodded slightly: "Exactly."
"It turns out that it was Mr. Zhao who was disrespectful and disrespectful in his presence. Mr. Zhao, a famous scholar, actually came to his humble residence. The Yang family is really in a state of glory. I hope you will be forgiven for being so negligent." The old patriarch became excited.
Yang Meng's expression suddenly changed.
The Zhao family in Taiyuan was a famous family in the world, and he had heard of Zhao Wenjing's name a long time ago.
This man became famous at a young age and was recognized as a child prodigy. He was designated as a second-rank official when he was designated as a Zhongzheng official. Later, he became an official and became one of the nine ministers. His official reputation was excellent, his reputation spread far and wide, and he was respected by scholars all over the world. , can be called a model for a while.
The Yang family is just a wealthy family in the county, and has not even touched the threshold of a noble family. It is at best a humble family. The existence of celebrities is too lofty for Yang Meng, and it is an existence that can only be admired.
Let's put it this way, if Zhao Wenjing said "slave" to him today, he will really be a slave from now on, right? People thousands of miles away will know his reputation.
"You bastard, what are you doing standing there, why don't you come over and apologize to Mr. Zhao?!" Seeing Yang Mengfa stunned, the old patriarch immediately scolded him with an unkind expression.
The old patriarch's anger was not all feigned.
If Zhao Wenjing does not retract his evaluation of Yang Meng, once this reputation spreads, everyone in the Yang family will know that there is a guy in the Yang family who is willing to be a slave of the barbarians, and the Yang family's reputation will be ruined.
The Li family is a noble family. If they don't mind looking ugly, they can even use this as an excuse to terminate the marriage between Li Qinghan and Yang Ning.
Yang Meng, who had an earthy face, quickly stepped forward and apologized to Zhao Wenjing in a formal manner in front of everyone:
"Just now, I was ignorant of Taishan. I was very offended. I hope Mr. Zhao will not remember the faults of villains."
Yang Meng was both frightened and aggrieved.
The fear was probably because he was afraid that Zhao Wenjing would use the topic to prevent him from getting off the stage, and the grievance was because it was clear that Zhao Wenjing was the one who scolded him first, but now he could only take the initiative to apologize.
Zhao Wenjing looked sideways at Yang Meng and said indifferently: "Nowadays, the world is in chaos and the people are in danger. Personal honor and disgrace are of no importance.
"However, it is a matter of great righteousness for passionate people to rise up against the barbarians and defend their homeland. You should never call such righteous deeds crazy, otherwise they are no different from being a wolf-hearted person."
He actually didn't save any face for Yang Meng.
Yang Meng couldn't refute, his face turned red from holding back, and he looked like he wanted to dig a hole in the ground.
It's a pity that he is not a mouse and cannot dig holes, so he has no choice but to accept education. He has to keep claiming that he is, and for a while he is disgraced and loses all face in front of everyone.
"Mr. Zhao is right."
The old patriarch laughed, not wanting his son to be too embarrassed, so he quickly changed the subject, "Forgive me for asking, why is Mr. Zhao here?"
Zhao Wenjing turned around and signaled to Yang Ning: "Yang Silang brought someone here."
The old patriarch was confused: "Does Mr. Zhao know Xiao Anzhi?"
Not only him, but Yang Zheng and Yang Meng were also puzzled: Zhao Wenjing, a famous person in the world, and Yang Ning, a local dandy, how could these two people be related?
Zhao Wenjing nodded solemnly: "Not only do we know each other, Yang Silang saved someone's life.
"I have been living in seclusion in Lianhua Village for a while and have never publicized my identity. Today, Hu Qi invaded. Yang Silang took action to save someone's life. Naturally, someone cannot tell the truth."
Hearing this, the old patriarch and others took a deep breath.
This friendship was extraordinary. The way Yang Zheng and others looked at Yang Ning changed again. They were filled with envy and jealousy, as if they wanted to take his place.
Yang Meng was heartbroken.
He had previously wanted to accuse Yang Ning of rushing to Lianhua Village and causing casualties among the family's private soldiers, but Zhao Wenjing was rescued by the other party in Lianhua Village. He couldn't still say that Yang Ning shouldn't have done this, right?
Before everyone could recover, Zhao Wenjing suddenly asked the old patriarch: "I wonder if Mr. Yang supports Yang Silang's rebellion against Hu?"
The old patriarch was slightly startled. This matter was of great importance and could not be decided easily. He didn't understand why Zhao Wenjing suddenly asked this.
Zhao Wenjing continued: "If Yang Silang finally gets into trouble, although I am not talented, I am willing to help him."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was moved. If Zhao Wenjing is willing to come forward, his reputation alone will attract many scholars to join him.
That is not a problem of a few scholars, it also means the family power behind those scholars!
Thinking of this, Yang Meng, Yang Tong and others looked at Yang Ning with even more annoyance: Why did this guy meet such a person? What a great luck!
"Mr. Zhao actually thinks so highly of my Shiro?" Yang Zheng said in disbelief.
Zhao Wen nodded: "Yang Silang is capable of both literary and military skills. He not only understands the general trend of the world, but also has a passionate heart. What's even more rare is that he has an upright character and is willing to take risks to rescue the villagers. Naturally, he admires him.
"There is no way to repay the kindness of saving lives. It is only natural that I should do something for Yang Silang."
Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled bitterly: "Besides, everyone knows that a certain person is from Taiyuan."
Everyone suddenly realized that Taiyuan in Bingzhou was now occupied by the puppet Han, and Zhao Wenjing lost his hometown. As long as he still had some blood, he must have the ambition to fight against Hu and want to revive his homeland.
The old patriarch stroked his beard: "I already understand what Mr. Zhao means. I admire Mr. Zhao for his great righteousness. However, the matter of resisting Hu is not a trivial matter and requires long-term planning.
"Since Mr. Zhao has arrived at my Yang family, I naturally want to show my kindness as a landlord. I also invite Mr. Zhao into the main hall to have a talk, have some tea, and have a good time after the banquet is prepared at home."
Of course Zhao Wenjing would not force the old patriarch to fight against Hu. If the Yang family was unwilling to raise an army, he, an outsider, could not force him no matter how famous he was. He immediately stopped talking about the matter and went into the lobby with the old patriarch.
Yang Ning suddenly took a step forward: "Grandpa, some of the villagers I brought back were blocked by my second uncle's people. I also asked my grandfather to give an order to let them all enter Wubao to take shelter temporarily."
These words made the old patriarch feel embarrassed in front of Zhao Wenjing. He pretended to be angry and said: "Don't talk nonsense. How can my Yang family block the villagers from the door? You bring them in and make proper arrangements."
Yang Ning raised his hand and said yes.
