Yang Yanzong looked at her deeply.
Yan was very sharp-eared. She rushed out of the main hall at this moment. When she saw Yang Yanzong, she was overjoyed and cried and laughed: "Da Lang, Zong'er, you are back! Is what she said true?" She pointed at Su Ci and hurriedly asked: "What about now? Is everything okay now?"
Yang Yanzong let out a breath, and after a while, he slowed down his voice, said a few brief words to comfort his mother, and then asked her to go back and put her things in place.
The yard was in chaos, with old women and maids hurriedly carrying things and moving around, which made people feel irritated. There was the sound of horse hooves outside, so Yang Yanzong didn't stay in the backyard for long and turned around to leave.
He was standing at the gate talking to a few people who had dismounted. Su Ci didn't stay in the backyard for long. She leaned over to glance at his back. He looked dusty and was still wearing the same clothes he wore a few days ago. She thought for a moment, waved to Daming and asked him to prepare water for him to take a bath.
After Yang Yanzong finished his instructions, he turned back to the outer study. Daming was leading people carrying a large bucket into the right side room. He bowed and greeted them, explaining, "Madam asked me to prepare it."
Yang Yanzong lowered his eyelashes and said "hmm".
Daming and others left and closed the door.
The room was filled with the long-lost peace and tranquility, and also with the steaming hot air.
Yang Yanzong stood for a while, slowly unbuttoned his sleeves and took off his coat.
The moment the warm water soaked his body, the fatigue deep in his body seemed to have finally found a way out, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.
With her hands on the wall of the tub, she thought of the beautiful figure who had turned back suddenly after sensing something. In the sunlight, she looked a little surprised, as if she was a little surprised by his question. "Of course I know!" "I've always known."
He chuckled softly, not sure whether it was out of pain or pleasure, he just laughed softly.
After laughing, he restrained his expression, opened his eyes, and stared quietly at a certain point in the room with steam rising from his eyes.
Yang Yanzong did enjoy the thrill of pursuing his career, but he was ultimately a man of flesh and blood, not an iron man. After occasional high-intensity overdrafts and storms, he would also feel tired.
With his father's high hopes for him and his younger brother following his lead, this road has never been easy. Once he sets out on this journey, he can only move forward and cannot retreat.
The family and the large group of people behind him all weigh heavily on his shoulders.
It turned out that Azhao had an elder brother who was also his close soldier and confidant, but he died. He blocked a poisonous arrow for him during the battle in the southwest and fell to the ground and died on the spot. And there is Akang. Although he is cheerful all day long, he is actually a single-parent child who lost his father at a young age and was raised by his mother. He has a pair of elderly grandparents. His father was a chariot soldier under Yang Yanzong in his early years, and later died in battle. The captain of the pension team saw that his family was really difficult with the old and young, so he came back and entered their information in the registration booklet. Yang Yanzong tried his best to arrange for the people on the booklet, and Akang was also very hard-working. Later, he was selected into the reserve camp of the personal guards. Gradually, his family got better and was no longer poor.
Like Akang and Azhao, he has many people under his command, both young and middle-aged, who are the pillars of their families and cannot afford to fall. If they fall, the whole family will collapse.
All these weighed heavily on Yang Yanzong's shoulders.
He was pleased with his father's praise, expectations, and joy. His mother was not smart, but she was his biological mother after all, and he was willing to endure her nagging, anger, and complaints for years.
In their eyes, he is always concise but unshakable.
But he was not made of iron after all, and he would get tired sometimes, like now. The prison was cold and gloomy, and the old injury on his shoulder blade was aching slightly, and his body was a little hot.
As soon as he escaped from Yangdu, he heard about Yan's actions. Yang Yanzong really didn't want to blame his biological mother too much, but at that moment he had a splitting headache.
But even so, he still rode his horse for nearly a hundred miles back to Suiping.
He didn't expect that the first thing he heard when he stepped into the house was Su Ci's words, "It hasn't been easy for the eldest master these years. He's been working very hard. We can't help him, so let's not cause him trouble, okay?"
——After all these years, it was the first time he heard someone sympathize with his difficulties and hard work.
Others always thought he was indestructible.
At that moment, blood surged and Yang Yanzong suddenly had a feeling of being understood. This feeling was so wonderful and too difficult to describe, but it couldn't help but make him feel warm.
He chuckled, it turned out that someone knew how hard he worked. Wasn't it easy for him?
An indescribable comfort.
My heart seemed to be touched by something. It was a mixture of sweet, sour, bitter and bitter feelings. It was complex and hard to describe, but it was mixed with an indescribable sense of pleasure and comfort.
His hands, which were resting on the wall of the tub, fell into the warm water, splashing water. He wiped his face with his hands and chuckled twice.
…
After Yang Yanzong took a shower and had a late lunch, his fatigue faded a lot and his spirits improved.
He didn't need to go there in person in the early stages of the army reorganization, as the work that needed to be done had already been ordered. He was just lowering his head to adjust his cuffs when he heard hurried footsteps coming from the direction of the moon gate in the back house. They stopped in front of the gate, and then the unique footsteps of the hard-soled soap boots of the gatekeepers came quickly towards this side.
Ah Kang walked in and whispered, "Master, the master is back. Um, I heard he was arguing with the old lady."
Akang's words were very obscure and polite. In fact, Yang's father was not in good health and returned by car, about an hour later than Yang Yanzong. He had just entered the gate. As soon as he entered the gate, he rushed to the main courtyard, roaring and cursing so loud that people standing in the front and back houses and the moon gate could vaguely hear it.
Yang Chongying prided himself on being a respectable man. He was always unwilling to argue with Yan, and mostly just ignored her. But this time, he was really shocked by Yan's outrageous behavior. He pushed aside the guards who were supporting him and rushed into the room. He pointed at Yan's nose and roared, "Where's your brain? Tell me what's going on in your brain?! Ah!! You don't understand, so why don't you listen to your daughter-in-law?!"
"You've been told to stay here, where are you going to run to? Oh, if your whole family is in prison and you're the only one who runs away, you'll be very happy? You'll have a happy second half of your life, right?!"
There were boxes piled up in the hall. Yan Shi was pointed at by Yang Chongying and sprayed wildly. She sat on the boxes with her buttocks. She was so depressed that her face turned red: "...I, I am at a loss, am I not?"
It is absolutely bullshit and impossible to say that the whole family suffered and she was the only one who ran away, so she would be very lucky and live a happy life in the second half of her life.
But Yan was panicked at the time and didn't have time to think so much. She just wanted to avoid it.
She covered her face and cried, "You didn't tell me anything, how would I know? I was panicked, and this is..."
Yang Chongying was furious: "Isn't my daughter-in-law here? You have a pig brain and don't understand. Don't you listen to my daughter-in-law?!"
Yan had a stern face. In fact, it was because of Su Ci that she became rebellious. The more Ah Zheng talked about the Madam's orders, the angrier she felt. It had not been even a year since Su came into the family, and she had already climbed over her head? !
The more Su Ci told her not to go out, the more she insisted on going out.
Yan covered her face and cried twice, then glanced at her sons. The three brothers Yang Yanzong were all present, but the brothers Yang Yanxin and Yang Yanzhen looked at each other secretly, and they all thought that their mother had done something wrong this time, and it was time to let their father talk.
Yang Yanzong lowered his eyes and twirled the ring on his thumb, also rarely saying a word.
Yan Shi didn't get support from her son, so she covered her face and cried twice, but she saw that Yang Chongying was still angry, "You always find fault with this and that all day long, what else can you do besides this? You are so stupid, can't you just be quiet?!
She couldn't hold back her pride and was annoyed: "Isn't it because of last year that I was scared? You are not the one who suffers in the relationship, you are talking without any pain in your waist!"
Yang Chongying: "Suffering? How much suffering have you endured, and how much happiness have you enjoyed? You call servants all day long, have you ever thought about who provides for you?!"
Yan was furious: "My son, my son supports me! What's wrong? Is it not okay?!" She had lost all her face after being scolded for so long, and was afraid that the whole backyard had heard it. She hated Yang Chongying for not giving her any face. As the saying goes, teach your son in front of the hall and your wife behind. He not only did not teach her, but also exposed her in front of all the servants in the house. She felt resentful and her head got hot. She glared at him: "Aren't you also enjoying the blessing of your son? How come I can't have the same as the son I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy? You are smart, you are the smartest, you are not even as good as my son! And you still have the nerve to criticize me..."
The last sentence was too much. Everyone frowned. Yang Chongying immediately became furious and raised his hand to slap her. Yan screamed and covered her head.
Yang Yanzong stood up and stopped his father from waving his hand: "Dad, calm down."
Yang Chongying moved his hands, but found that his son had really grown up, full of vigor and vitality, and his hands did not move at all.
Yang Chongying and Yang Yanzong stared at each other for a long while before Yang Chongying came back to his senses. He was breathing heavily, but finally put his hand down. He glared at Yan fiercely and left in anger.
Yang Yanzong immediately glanced at his two younger brothers, and Yang Yanxin and Yang Yanzhen hurried over.
Looking back at his mother, Yan was embarrassed. Yang Yanzong took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Mother, apologize to father. Go, go now."
Expose others without exposing their shortcomings.
Yan was somewhat reluctant, but when Yang Yanzong frowned, she finally stood up and moved away step by step.
Yang Yanzong glanced at Yan's trusted maid, who understood and quickly followed him to persuade him softly.
Yang Yanzong stood there for a while before turning around and following.
…
After Yang Yanzong had finally dealt with the issues between his parents, he returned to the study in the front yard, opened the secret compartment, took out both the official seal and the private seal and put them away.
He didn't have much time, and he planned to go back to the cross-campus of Southeast University.
He wanted to find Su Ci.
But before he could find her, Su Ci came over first.
The quarrel in the backyard didn't last long. Su Ci didn't go there on purpose, but she was speechless after listening to the whole process. It really can't be blamed on Yang Chongying for the way Yan and Yang Chongying got along.
She clicked her tongue twice, and when she heard that Yang Yanzong had returned to his study, she strolled over from the East University courtyard and took a look outside the study door.
Yang Yanzong recognized her footsteps as soon as he heard them. Turning back, he saw her peeking at the door, her eyes moving around, cunning and lively.
He waved: "Come here."
Huh? This is not being angry.
Su Ci blinked her eyes, but she was best at taking advantage of the situation. She strolled in from the study door, stood by the desk with her hands behind her back, and stared at him.
Yang Yanzong pulled her to sit on his lap, and stroked her face with his calloused palm for a while, then said, "Pack up, we'll go together."
"Gaobian? The front line?" She already knew that Yang Yanzong had been appointed as a military advisor and would be going to the border immediately.
"Um."
Yang Yanzong responded hoarsely, he lowered his eyes and looked deeply at this extremely familiar and lively face that was only the size of his palm.
He thought that it was because of her difference that he noticed her and fell in love with her.
Yes, Yang Yanzong actually understood it in his heart, but he had never admitted it. He just liked her. This girl, who was always unexpected and whose every move touched his heart, gradually began to enter his heart without him knowing when.
Since she was so considerate of him, he was willing to take a step back.
The anger in his heart subsided. As long as he was willing to think about it, he could still figure it out. Yang Yanzong thought to himself, if she was docile in everything, like other women, he probably wouldn't have noticed her at the beginning.
Since she is so different, it seems to make sense that she has some differences in her views on marriage.
Well then, Yang Yanzong stroked her face gently. He was willing to take a step back. He thought of the young men under his command who were pursuing and winning the hearts of the girls they loved. If she did not change because of the lack of this step, then, he thought, it was not impossible for him to give it a try.
