Because she knew that once she reported to the court that Yang Yunfan was still alive and had returned to the Yang family, the court would definitely give Yang Yunfan an official title in consideration of its debt to the Yang family.
Although it is a good thing to become an official and become a noble, in this case Yang Yunfan will definitely be sent to the border to guard the border like Yang Zongbao;
Because the Yang family is a family of warriors, the position awarded by the imperial court must be military attache. Military attachés generally cannot stay at home in the capital for a long time. And Yang Yunfan can't go to the border to guard the border now, because he has more important things to do.
Taijun She dipped the brush in her hand into some ink and said while writing: "I have already thought about this matter. After the memorial is presented and the official decree is issued, Fan'er can only receive the title and not the official position." Not only will this not affect his ability to venture into Brahma Sky Forest and Taiyi Tower, but it will also make it easier for him to do things in the world after he has a title."
"My mother thinks carefully, but my daughter-in-law thinks simply," Hua Jieyu on the side said with relief when Taijun She said this.
"Old lady, old lady..." Suddenly, the housekeeper Yang Hong's hurried shout came from outside the house. Both of them were startled and looked outside the house quickly.
I saw Yang Hong running into the yard out of breath, panting heavily, saluting Mrs. She and saying: "Old Mrs. She, good news, good news, news from the north, the fourth son Yanzhao came from the north He escaped back, and he seems to have brought a princess from the Liao Kingdom with him. He has arrived at Yanmen Pass a few days ago, and he will probably be home in the next few days."
After hearing Yang Hong's narration, Taijun She was startled at first, and then overjoyed. With tears in her eyes, she said to Hua Jieyu: "Yan Zhao is back, Yan Zhao is back, it's really God's blessing and ancestor's blessing." After saying that, he put down his hand. with a dragon-headed crutch, clasped his hands, and said to the sky.
Hua Jieyu on the side also had red eyes with excitement. After the excitement, she felt a sense of disappointment. Her brother-in-law was back, but her husband would never come back. She shook her head and smiled sadly, trying to calm down the emotions in her heart.
Yang Hong on the side said happily: "Congratulations to the old lady, these days are a double blessing. Young Master Yunfan is back, and the Fourth Young Master is also back. God bless my Yang family."
Taijun She regained her composure after being excited, and said to Yang Hong with a smile: "Old housekeeper, send someone to prepare. Yanzhao will return to Bianjing in a few days, and you will go and greet him first.
"Also, tomorrow I want to pay homage to my ancestors and thank them for their kindness. You go and buy some things...";
Yang Hong agreed repeatedly, walked out the door with a relaxed and happy pace, called a few servants, and went to buy things.
Taijun She and Hua Jieyu returned to the house. After Taijun She calmed down, she smiled and said to Hua Jieyu, "It seems that I have to write another memorial."
The return of relatives one after another made this old man in his sixties very happy.
Hua Jieyu also smiled and said: "I said it must be a happy event when I heard the magpie calling on the tree this morning. Sure enough, it turned out that Yan Zhao was back. I will tell the other sisters about the news and let them know. I'm very happy." After saying this, Taijun She walked to the backyard without waiting for a reply.
After a while, the entire Tianbo Mansion was enveloped in a joyful atmosphere.
On the road to Bianjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty, Yang Yunfan, Chen Zishan, Yang Hong, the old housekeeper of the Yang family, and several servants of the Yang family were walking and chatting.
A few days ago, Taijun She asked Yang Hong to go to Bianjing to welcome Yang Yanzhao who had returned from the north. Chen Zishan insisted on following him after hearing about it.
These days, the old housekeeper Yang Hong has become more familiar with Chen Zishan, so he readily agreed.
Chen Zishan took Yang Yunfan with him again. Yang Yunfan wanted to continue to lock himself in the room to study the art of war. After hearing the news that his fourth uncle had returned from the North, he was also very excited;
Coupled with Chen Zishan's repeated nudges, he insisted on coming together, so he smiled and agreed to come together;
He knew that his senior brother, who loved fun and could not tolerate loneliness, was bored after spending so many days in the Yang Mansion, so he just came out to relax.
Yang Yunfan and Chen Zishan had never officially visited Bianjing City. Along the way, they listened to the explanations given by the old butler Yang Hong, and their hearts were filled with excitement and yearning. They imagined the grand scene of the most prosperous capital city in the world.
Everyone came to the Jinshuimen Long Street in Bianjing. Before entering the city, the first thing they saw was the moat about 120 feet wide, covered with weeping willows, and the winding and uneven moat like a swimming dragon. Irregularly built walls in the outer city;
Chen Zishan thinks this city wall is strange and incomprehensible. Many people don't like it because it is not smooth and beautiful enough.
But after Yang Yunfan saw this city wall, he couldn't help but admire the builder of this city wall, Taizu Emperor Zhao Kuangyin.
Everyone only looked at the city wall from an admiring perspective, feeling that it was not smooth and beautiful enough. But in Yang Yunfan's opinion, the military value of this city wall was the fundamental reason for its construction.
When Zhao Kuangyin, Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, built it, he must have considered that if the capital was attacked by the enemy one day, the uneven and irregular walls would be able to greatly buffer the fierce attack.
Inside this city wall is the true Bianjing City. The number of people exceeds that of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, ten times. It is a paradise on earth with a population of one million, and Daliang City has been famous for thousands of years.
Everyone walked through the outer city with a circumference of 48 miles and 232 steps, and entered the inner city with a circumference of 20 miles. What appeared in front of everyone was an incomparable long street that was rare in ancient and modern times. This long street was straight and wide, about seven meters long. Eight miles, about two hundred paces wide, goes straight to the Xuande Gate of the imperial city.
The wide long street was divided into five passages, the central one was reserved for the emperor's exclusive use, and the waterways on both sides were built with huge stones.
The shore is covered with peach, plum, pear, apricot and other fruit trees, and the ditch is filled with patches of lotus. Every year during the flower season, the breeze blows, and the fragrance accompanies millions of residents along the way.
A row of red railings on the shore is a sign. It demarcates the two carriage roads on the left and right, which are called "Imperial Corridors". Both sides of the Royal Corridor are lined with various residential buildings and government offices as well as thousands of shops.
As everyone walked along with the crowd, the first thing that appeared in front of them was the Longjin Bridge at the Zhuque Gate in the inner city. This is the first section of the three sections of Royal Street.
There are many businesses here, but the quality of the goods is not too high. It is considered a civilian consumption area. The main business is fresh fruits, pens, ink and paper.
Going further inside is the royal building "Wangjie Pavilion". This pavilion was a must-visit place for emperors when visiting the Royal Street. From a high altitude, you can see from a distance, dozens of shops and hundreds of thousands of majestic homes.
Along the way, you will reach the second section of the fascinating three-section Royal Street - Zhouqiao. Zhou Bridge, also known as "Tianhan Bridge", is the most spectacular among the thirteen bridges on the Bianhe River.
Looking down from the bridge, the surging Bian River water flowing under the bridge is very spectacular.
