Almost all the people of the Great Xiao Dynasty, one of the places that they most yearn for is definitely their capital. Xu Changan has lived in the capital since he was a child, but the place he yearns most is Fengzhou, which he could only hear from his mother since he was a child. .
Perhaps because of the unsatisfactory life, the Yang family became more and more nostalgic for the days when she was in her boudoir. Since Xu Changan was a child, she often recited in her son's ears the events of her hometown, the delicious food there, and the parents and brothers who loved her at home.
From the moment the carriage drove into Fengzhou City, Xu Changan couldn't help but lift the curtain of the carriage. He was anxious to see what the place he had longed for for a long time was like.
"This young master, you are from the capital, how come you look like you have never seen the world, just like a countryman entering the city." Xiao Qingyan was amused by Xu Changan's appearance, what did he look like? He seems to be interested in everything that is new. Could it be that when he was in the Xu family, his father kept him in the mansion all day
"This is where my mother grew up. I have heard my mother say that Fengzhou has a pleasant climate all year round like spring, and there are a lot of wonderful foods. I am curious. Oh, by the way, I don't know my grandfather yet. The address of the home, but I know the names of my grandfather and several uncles, the Yang family is a big family here, we should be able to find out if we ask." When he was a child, Xu Changan would only be curious when he heard his mother talk about the family affairs. And yearning, but when he grew up and sensible, he only had questions in his head. My mother was from a good background, and she didn't look like a fool. Why did she never get along with her parents because of a Xu Yongnian.
Not only the Xu family, Xiao Qingyan had already inquired about the Yang family in Fengzhou a long time ago. The Yang family can be said to be a scholarly family, and their ancestors have produced many high-ranking officials in the imperial court, but in recent years, the Yang family has not produced any promising children, and now the highest position in the court is only a prefect.
"Is it because of your mother that you came home from this trip?" Apart from that, Xiao Qingyan couldn't think of any other reason. Chang'an's mother, Mrs. Yang, was buried in a small village by Xu Yongnian. Although it belongs to Xu Chang'an now, when Chang'an pays New Year's greetings, she will be able to take care of her tomb with all her heart
He married into the royal family himself, and naturally he couldn't interfere too much with his mother's death. He could only hope that his mother would be buried in his family's ancestral grave.
He didn't expect that he had not revealed it to him at all, but Xiao Qingyan could guess it by himself. Xu Changan didn't look at Xiao Qingyan's expression at this time, just nodded lightly.
Knowing that this must be the case, Xu Changan also gave him a positive answer, but Xiao Qingyan felt a little strange. He always felt that Changan's reaction just now seemed to be a little guilty.
As Xu Changan expected, his grandfather Yang's family had been in this Fengzhou city for a hundred years. Almost all the people in the city knew about the Yang family. They asked a few passersby at random, and they soon arrived at the door of Yang's house.
Yang Mansion is different from many high gate courtyards in Beijing. Its layout is more like Jiangnan Linyuan, and it is not comparable to high gates in Beijing. The entire Yang family occupies almost a dozen miles.
"How did your mother fall in love with your father back then?" Thinking of Xu Changan's preference for all kinds of scriptures, Xiao Qingyan had an absurd thought. Could it be that Mrs. Yang was brainwashed by the story of a young lady and a poor scholar
"This mother didn't tell me, but she was probably an innocent girl who didn't know the world and was deceived by a jackal in the name of a genius." In fact, Xu Changan also thought about why his mother would treat her like this later, probably because he thought The things that I got and used actually passed me by, and there is a gap in my heart that can't be erased.
The mother's family background is not bad, but after the father and mother got married happily, the mother's family broke their relationship directly, and it was only considered that there was no mother as a daughter. Can't accept it.
"Let's go." Xu Changan knew in his heart that if his grandfather's family had looked after his mother a little, Xu Yongnian would not have dared to be so blatant as a cheap mother, but he did not resent his grandfather's family in his heart.
My mother doesn't know who she is, how can she resent her parents? What's more, the grandfather's family had done their best in the past! They don't agree to be satisfied with their daughter's marriage at all, but they still marry her beautifully and give a lot of dowry. As for the daughter's marriage, how can they still manage it.
"Old man, we are the old friends of the third lady in the house, and we came to visit specially." The ranking of Yang's house is different from other houses. There is no distinction between men and women. Since childhood, everyone in the mansion called her Third Miss instead of Eldest Miss.
"You are... the child of the third young lady?" The old servant of the Yang family has been in the Yang family for decades. He was watching the Yang family grow up. Now, looking at Xu Changan's face that is very similar to his mother, Xu Changan's face is very similar to his mother. Changan also claimed to be from Beijing, and he thought so subconsciously.
Unexpectedly, he was recognized by an old servant at a glance. Xu Chang'an was not without differences, but he was more joyful!
An old slave in the mansion can remember what his mother looked like, so his grandfather and several uncles should still have some friendship with his mother!
"Little young master, come in, come in quickly! This old slave will take you to see the old man!"
From the moment he walked into the gate of the Yang family, after walking only a short distance, Xu Changan couldn't help but wonder? What kind of means did his father Xu Yongnian use back then to have the ability to make a young lady born in such a family fall in love with him and not marry him
He was accustomed to seeing wealthy and solemn wealthy and dignified families in the capital, but he liked the leisurely and elegant gardens in front of him even more.
Although they had already entered the gate of the Yang family, Xu Changan and Xiao Qingyan had to walk for a while before finally meeting Xu Changan's grandfather and several uncles. Compared with the calm and calmness of the two of them, the men on the opposite side were obviously much more flustered, and the expressions on everyone's faces were unpredictable, but it was not disgust, which made Xu Changan relax a little.
"Chang'an has seen grandfather, uncle..."
"Caomin Yang Yuande, Caomin... I have seen His Royal Highness King Xian." Xu Changan's grandfather's family was naturally not the arrival of his grandson, but the people who accompanied him. Although Fengzhou is far away from the capital, the Yang family still has a son who is currently the prefect, and he does not know everything about the affairs of the DPRK. The grandson will go home.
They didn't know how they knew Xiao Qingyan's identity. Xu Changan saw that they didn't pay any attention to him, but instead greeted Xiao Qingyan after he exited. Xiao Qingyan didn't come as a virtuous king now, so naturally he wouldn't be too embarrassed to maintain his identity in front of them, but he didn't have much enthusiasm for them, but just said in a light tone that it was unnecessary.
Da Xiao followed Tiandijun's parents and teachers. Xu Changan knew that even if his grandfather and uncle were elders, they were not qualified to ask Xiao Qingyan to give them the courtesy of their younger generation, and he himself did not want Xiao Qingyan to be small in front of others. There is no need to act in front of relatives who don't care much about the pampered and noble Tian Huang.
"Although this king is traveling by order, it is not a big fan. You don't have to be too polite, and this king doesn't want too many people to know about my journey with the princess." Humph! It is also said that it is a scholarly family, but it has no former residence at all. I know how to salute the prince, but what is the matter with the princess hanging aside? ! Xiao Qingyan said that there was no need to be more polite, but the expression and tone were completely different. He also deliberately mentioned the princess beside him. It was he who said so, and the Yang family on the opposite side reacted. Now the people standing in front of them are not It's just that their grandson and nephew are the virtuous princesses of the Great Xiao Dynasty.
Xu Changan stared at Xiao Qingyan next to him. Since he said to keep a low profile, why would he still be a princess, for fear that others would not know their identities
"It's Caomin's rudeness! But the prince and princess must have worked hard to come from afar, so let's take a rest first. Caomin will let the servants at home prepare the yard."
"Grandpa doesn't need to be too polite. In the future, you can just call me Qingyun." Thinking that this name finally came in handy, Xiao Qingyan didn't want the old man to call him a prince, they would have to stay here for a few days. Bar.
"Grassmen dare not!"
"Grandpa, you are an elder, so it's okay to call His Highness by name. You probably don't know my name yet. My name is Chang'an, and you can call me that way in the future." Still a little disappointed in his heart, Xu Changan saw him These lovers, but there is no sense of closeness in his heart, he thought that it might be because of his mother.
Although he understands that his mother's fate is his own choice, he still has some resentment towards his grandfather's family who really carelessly ignored his mother. Now that they meet, they don't seem to have any feelings for him. The feeling of disappointment in my heart could not be hidden.
He and Xiao Qingyan lived in a yard that seemed to be specially prepared for them. After all the servants left, Xu Changan removed his politeness and showed a slightly disappointed face.
"Don't be unhappy, your father is still unreliable, and you still expect a foreigner who can't help you?" Xiao Qingyan knew that his words might make him sad and make him sad, but this is a fact, and this is what he wants him to do Recognized facts.
"There are too many people in this world, and even family affection is a tool used to gain benefits. For them, there is nothing that should be paid." Did the Yang family ruin something good in the family back then? So it will end up in the end! The Yang family's family background is good, but if they ask a little bit after Yang's marriage, then Xu Yongnian would not dare to be unscrupulous towards Yang's and Chang'an.
"His Royal Highness. I seem to..." It was always too naive. I thought I would have my grandfather's family after leaving the palace, I thought I had arranged my mother's affairs, and I could still have relatives to rely on in Fengzhou. Now it seems that I am thinking too much!
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Xiao Qingyan believed that the Yang family would not and dare not refuse to agree to their request. As long as the matter of the Yang family was done, they could give the Yang family a little benefit at will.
Although the Yang family is a scholarly family, they have not been in high-ranking officials for several generations. As far as he knows, even the Yang family today can't be compared with twenty years ago. If the Yang family has no more successful people in the future, their good days will probably come to an end.
"His Royal Highness, in fact... I'm no different from my mother." Xu Changan was very clear about the weak side of his temperament. He even hated himself for being so cowardly. He was different from his mother. He was a man, so why should he think about relying on him? who? Without the grandfather's family and without Xiao Qingyan, we should live well!
