Chapter 481: Prosperous Yang family
The two of them helped Mr. Li and Old Man Yang return to their old house.
Yang Laoer felt very uncomfortable when he saw that his son, who had returned home in fine clothes, did not see him. He could only grit his teeth and follow them silently.
A few steps behind, Mrs. Zhou came to Yang Laosan and muttered: "I don't know what kind of luck the second child has had. It's so shameful that our children are all making great achievements. We have worked hard to cultivate them, but the results are not as good as the others." Fuck some of his cousins”
The more Zhou spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and she almost burst into tears.
Yang Laosan hurriedly comforted him: "Why are you in a hurry! Mr. Ming has already said that you need to play it slow, take your time, don't be in a hurry."
“I’m just worried that the rich and the noble will become Jinshi! Why don’t we also let the rich and the noble take a side course?” Zhou suggested.
Yang Laosan stopped him immediately, "Pull him down! Don't think that one thing is the same. The situation of Fugui is different from that of Laigui. With such a father, he can only rely on himself for everything. Didn't you hear Sizhuang say that he is in Fucheng?" Are you going to study while making money? If you come from a wealthy family and can endure hardships, you have already passed the exam! Now you have finally calmed down a little under Mr. Ming’s guidance, don’t let him make you angry anymore!”
After being reprimanded like this, Mr. Zhou immediately shut up.
The old house was busy all day because of the two Jinshis. People from all over the country who were related to each other came to the house with congratulatory gifts and tried their best to impress Yang Sizhuang and Yang Fugui.
Yang Fugui felt for the first time the earth-shaking changes his status had brought to him.
At night, all the guests finally left.
Yang An then came to the door and talked about the village school with Yang Sizhuang and Yang Fugui, "Today the children in the village saw you returning home, and they were all very excited to study. I mean, can you please take the time to teach the children?" In a class, tell them some big truths. Children like us, the mud-legged ones, won’t listen, but they will definitely remember what you elders say for the rest of their lives!”
These words amused everyone in the courtyard.
Yang Sizhuang readily agreed, "My mother-in-law also reminded me to go to the village to learn. In addition, my mother-in-law also prepared five thousand taels for the village. If there are villagers in the village who are having a hard time and need money, it can be used. The rest It would be great to use it to study in the village or buy some land as family property. "
Yang An's eyes widened when he heard that Jiang Ning's offer was five thousand taels, "This is too much!"
Yang Sizhuang shook his head, "Village Chief, if the Yang family wants to prosper, it is indispensable for money. These five thousand taels may seem like a lot, but in fact they are not much used in the village. Only when there are more promising people in the village can we, the Yang family, Really grow.”
Yang An felt excited after hearing this. He gritted his teeth and took the money. He thought about it and promised again and again that he would arrange the money well.
Old man Yang and Mrs. Li only felt that they were extra long-faced and their waists were straightened up a lot.
Wait until Yang An leaves.
Only then did Mrs. Li feel sorry for the money, "Your mother-in-law is very happy. Now that she is old, when she leaves in the future, you brothers will split up and you will need money everywhere. Five thousand taels can do a lot of things." Woolen cloth!"
Ms. Li is really worried that Jiang Ning will lose all the wealth that Dafang has finally saved. Yang Sizhuang laughed dumbly, "Grandma, just don't worry, our third brother is such a money-making master, five thousand taels is nothing to my grandma, and she also caught up with me and won the Jinshi, grandma I’m very happy. I really hope that the village will be able to get up and give me so much money. You can feel relieved.”
As he said that, he took another two thousand taels and gave them to Yang Laosan privately.
Yang Laosan was flattered and wanted nothing, but Yang Sizhuang insisted, "Uncle Third, it is you who have stayed with my grandpa and grandma all year round to fulfill your filial piety. My grandma said that you deserve this money. At the same time, my grandma Mom also said that Laigui has never suffered hardship since he was a child, and he still has some spirituality. Don’t push too hard. It is said that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. As long as our brothers are here, they will naturally not forget Laigui. "
After hearing Yang Sizhuang's words, Yang Laosan felt relieved, and all the little knots in his heart were gone.
Next, Rongshu Village held a flowing feast for three days. Yang Sizhuang showed up on the first day. After that, he was busy going to Mapo Academy, Longwang Temple and other places. Yang Fugui stayed in the village to entertain visitors from all walks of life and worked with the village chief to arrange the village. Small and medium-sized things.
Yang Laoer's face felt doubly bright when he saw his son's beauty.
When Yang Sizhuang and Yang Fugui were about to leave, Yang Laoer became anxious when he saw that Yang Fugui didn't mention him. He went to the old house in person and said to Yang Fugui with a sullen face: "I want to leave with you."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Li immediately changed her face and said, "I'm not dead yet! Where do you want to go? What do you want to do?"
Yang Laoer frowned aggrievedly, "Auntie, I only have a son like Fugui. If I don't follow him, who will I follow?"
"What about me and your father? You don't have to be filial anymore? The reason why we don't care about you is because we almost left the house. We didn't give anything, and we didn't have the shame to ask for your service. But these things about us The money you have given us for our old age has not fallen even once. What can you do to fulfill your filial piety?" Mrs. Li said this very rudely.
Yang Lao Er secretly glanced at Yang Lao San. Seeing that Yang Lao San didn't even look at him, he knew that Sanfang was not going to get involved. He gritted his teeth and knelt down to Mrs. Li with a plop, "Auntie, I beg you. I can’t take care of myself, so just let me go with Fugui!”
He knew very well that if he didn't follow his son this time, it would be difficult for him to seek refuge with his son again in the future, and he would have less and less say in his son's affairs.
Ms. Li refused to give in at all, and even asked people to call the village chief and village elders, insisting that the villagers give her justice, and tied Yang Laoer tightly with filial piety.
Yang Fugui had the support of the Li family, so he naturally did not need to be a villain. He just said to Yang Laoer calmly: "I am just a second-class scholar in a partial subject. It is impossible to stay in the capital. After I return to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and report, there is a high probability that It's meant to be released, but now I don't even know where to go. What are you doing with me? And I can only stay at my uncle's house in the capital, so where will you live?
Living in the capital is not easy. Money is needed everywhere. What can I do with my little money? Why do you insist on leaving me? Do you think I'm living too easy, or do you think I don't give enough money every year? "
The housekeeper of the old house in the east of the village immediately interjected, "The money that the rich young master sends back to the village every year is fifteen taels, plus clothes for all seasons, etc., it's quite a lot."
Upon hearing this, the villagers scolded Yang Laoer for being ignorant.
An old man stepped forward with a cane, pointed at Yang Lao Er's nose and lectured him, "Yang Dou! Being rich is enough to be filial. You can live comfortably in the village even if you don't do anything. You have to follow me no matter what you do." The child is dragging him down? My old man is the first to refuse! Your parents are still alive and well, so you can’t even think about running away!”
Under the pointing of the villagers, Yang Laoer turned pale and dared not say anything. (End of chapter)
