Wu Yizong stood at the foot of the wall, annoyed.
Today was the opening day of the Duke An Le Residence, Princess An Le and her husband sent out invitations, inviting guests and friends to celebrate the moving in.
Wu Yizong was also invited, but because it was still early, the banquet had not started yet, so Wu Yizong, Wu Youji and a few other brothers from the same sect were strolling and chatting, admiring the beautiful scenery of the Princess An Le Residence and chatting about some things. Unexpectedly, when they were at the foot of the high wall, a pillar of water suddenly fell from the sky.
Wu Yizong's head was splashed by the water, the sky was clear for miles, why would there be a sudden rain? Just as Wu Yizong was feeling strange, he suddenly felt that the stream of water was a little warm. Wu Yizong hurriedly looked up and saw a stream of water flowing down the wall in a rainbow-like arc. It turned out that someone was standing on the wall and peeing. Wu Yizong was furious.
Yang Fan's residence, because the wall was a slope, the outside of the wall was twelve feet high, but the inside of the wall was only two feet lower than the top of the wall. Yang Nianzu and his sister were playing hide and seek, but after searching for a while and not being able to find his sister, he suddenly felt the urge to pee and went to the wall to pee.
The child was mischievous, seeing that the top of the wall was not high, he played around and shot the water out of the wall. Who would have thought that Wu Yizong and a few other brothers were walking side by side, and when they reached the bottom of the wall, they were splashed by him.
Yang Nianzu heard angry curses and quickly leaned on the top of the wall to look down. He saw a skinny old man with a long beard blowing his beard and glaring, constantly wiping his face and waving his hands, looking very comical, he couldn't help but laugh. Wu Yizong was even angrier, he pointed at him and scolded, "You little beast, you still dare to laugh, ben wang will twist your head!"
Yang Nianzu had never seen such a fierce person before, after being scolded and threatened, his little mouth flattened and he started to cry.
At this time, A 'Nu happened to rush over with Yang Ji in her arms. Yang Ji was still young and could not run around, so he followed behind his older brother like a shadow. But whenever he saw his older brother playing on the ridge, he would be extremely envious. He would always jump and run, signaling his mother to carry him over to watch.
Ah Nu couldn't dissuade him, so she would always carry him and chase behind Nianzu or Si Rong, while Yang Ji watched his brother and sister hide, he was even happier than the two of them playing. At this time, hearing the scolding, A 'Nu quickly carried Yang Ji and walked over. When she saw a skinny and withered old man standing outside the wall, scolding Yang Nianzu to the point of tears, A' Nu's pretty face immediately sank.
The Yang family's women were all protective, moreover, one was an old and one was a child, of an old and a young, so their ages were really disproportionate. How could such an old man be so serious with such a young child? A 'Nu stretched out her hand to pull Yang Nianzu over, wiped his tears, and coaxed, "Nianzu, be good, don't cry, what happened?"
Yingly, Yang, "Yang Yang Yang Yang Yang Yance Yang, Yang Long of the Yang Shen Yang," Yang of Yang, Yi Niang and Yang, Nan, Yang, Yang Yang Yang,
"Nianzu, don't cry, you're a boy, how can you protect your sister and brother if you're so timid? Listen to Niang, if anyone dares to bully you, use the martial arts Niang taught you and give him a good slap."
Ah Nu turned around and said to Yang Nianzu, "Nianzu, don't cry. You're a boy. How can you protect your sister and brother if you're so timid? Listen to me. If anyone dares to bully you, use the martial arts I taught you and slap him hard."
Wu Yizong was about to go crazy from anger and angrily shouted: "Woman, you are so unreasonable. Ask your little beast what exactly did he do!" Wu Yizong was so angry that his beard was trembling and there were still a few drops of water hanging on it.
When A Nu saw his disheveled appearance, she had already guessed what was going on. She was annoyed that he was so old yet he was still arguing with an ignorant child, and his words were so harsh, so she pretended not to know and took the opportunity to mock him. Yang Ji didn't know how to speak, so when he saw his mother's anger, he glared at Wu Yizong angrily and waved his fist at him.
Wu Youyi frowned, if it was any other matter, the Wu family would not allow anyone to insult them, but Wu Yizong was just unlucky today. That child was only a few years old, why would he bother?
Wu Youyi frowned. If it was any other matter, the Wu Clan's members wouldn't be humiliated. However, Wu Yizong was truly unlucky today. That child was only a few years old, so how could he be calculative? The higher one's status, the more self-restraint one must have. His behavior was no different from the vulgar commoners in the market. The higher one's status, the more self-restraint one must have. His behavior was no different from the vulgar commoners in the market.
Wu Youyi advised, "Yizong, this little urchin doesn't understand. Why bother with him? Quickly go wash your face."
Wu Yizong flew into a rage, "This Prince will not bother with a little child, but is that woman also a child? The little one did something wrong, and the big one doesn't know the rules. How can this old man let it go? Today, I want to clarify everything. Who is this family? "
Wu Yizong didn't know that next to Princess An Le's residence was the residence of his old enemy, Yang Fan. But he knew that to be adjacent to the Princess An Le's residence, it must not be an ordinary family, so he asked about this family's identity.
Their quarrel attracted many guests who were strolling in the garden and admiring the Princess' new residence. Seeing Wu Yizong's expression, the Chang 'an prefectural magistrate, Liu Xiantian, held back his laughter and said, "Your Highness, this is the residence of the loyal general, Yang Fan."
Once Wu Yizong heard the name Yang Fan, old and new hatred rose in his heart, and he became even more unforgiving. Ah Nu was also not a person to be trifled with. Hearing him call her a little beast and even scold Yang Fan, she was instantly enraged. She poked her son on the ground and said to Yang Nianzu, "Nianzu, look after Little Brother!"
Finishing, Ah Nu rolled up her sleeves and was about to jump down to settle the score with the old man. Once Little Yang Ji landed, he stumbled and grabbed his brother's clothes, and stretched out his chubby little hand to help him wipe his tears. Yang Nianzu was afraid that his brother would fall, so he quickly held him in his arms. At this time, Yang Fan flew over and hurriedly said, "Ah Nu, what happened?"
Just as Ah Nu was about to jump down the wall, hearing Yang Fan's voice, she stopped and angrily said, "Listen, the crazy old man next door is speaking rudely, his curses are really unpleasant."
Yang Fan looked over the wall and couldn't help laughing, "Aiyo, Great General Wu, Prince Consort Wu, Magistrate Liu, how are you? What a good day it is today, why are all of you here?"
He was a general of the Thousand Horsemen Battalion, subordinate to the Yulin Guards. Wu Youyi was his official official, so he had to greet him first, followed by Princess Taiping's Prince Consort Wu Youji. Wu Youji's wife was currently on this side of the wall, unexpectedly this Prince Consort Wu appeared next door. As for the King of Hanoi, Wu Yizong, the two were old enemies, so Yang Fan directly ignored him.
Once Wu Yizong heard that Yang Fan deliberately ignored him, he became even angrier and shouted in a stern voice, "Yang Fan, you taught your son well! He actually stood on top of the wall and peed on this Prince's head and face, what do you say about this! "
As soon as Wu Yizong's voice fell, a burst of snickering came from behind him. Wu Yizong angrily turned around and saw many guests gathered there after hearing the news, each with a curious expression, but he didn't know who was laughing just now.
Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Yang Fan also wanted to laugh, but he quickly restrained himself and called his son over, asking, "Nianzu, did you really pee on top of the wall?"
Yang Nianzu also knew that he was in trouble, so he lowered his head and stammered, "Yes! But … when this child peed, I didn't know there was someone on the other side of the wall. "
Yang Fan said, "Whether there is someone or not, what you did is wrong. That is someone else's house, not our own. Look, you even peed on someone else's head, this is wrong. In the future, you must not make this kind of mistake again, come, quickly apologize to this old uncle! "
"Oh!"
Yang Nianzu obediently stepped forward, bowed deeply to Wu Yizong under the wall, and said in a childish voice, "This child was rude and offended old uncle, I apologize to you here, please forgive me."
Wu Youyi laughed and quickly smoothed things over, "Alright, alright, which child is not naughty? In fact, the King of Hanoi didn't want to argue, but your son is naughty, and your Madam Ru is also a bit protective, so when the words collided, the King of Hanoi was furious."
Yang Fan glared at A 'Nu and reprimanded, "Outrageous! It is clearly our child who did something wrong, can't it be over if he apologizes to someone? How can you be so biased, isn't this teaching the child bad? "
A 'Nu said angrily, "This servant didn't want to be protective, but this person is so old, and his mouth is still dirty, disrespectful."
Yang Fan said, "So what, our child did something wrong first, can't we let others say it? Because others speak rudely, you speak rudely, then what is the difference between you and others? Quickly take the child back, I will settle the score with you tonight! "
After being scolded by the man, A 'Nu pouted, picked up Yang Ji, and left.
Wu Yizong listened to him scolding his wife, no matter how he listened, he felt that it was not right, and couldn't help but angrily say, "What, do you want to just apologize and be done with it? Your son dares to ride on this Prince's head and take a dump. You, Yang Fan, are too arrogant. I won't let this matter go. "
Wu Youji frowned, whispering, "Yizong, what do you want to do, don't make a fool of yourself."
"Don't worry about it, who is making a fool of? Who is making a fool of? "
Wu Yizong had long wanted to find trouble with Yang Fan, and now that he was finally in the right, he naturally wouldn't let it go so easily. Yang Fan picked up Yang Nianzu and gracefully leaped down the wall. His movements were extremely nimble. If it wasn't for the current situation, perhaps many of the onlookers would have cried out in praise.
Wu Yizong knew that his fists and feet were very strong, so he took two steps back in shock. He said in a threatening manner, "You ….. What do you want to do?"
Yang Fan sincerely said, "My son really did something wrong. Your Highness is an extremely high official, so it is natural for you to be angry after being insulted like this. If you do something wrong, then you have to take responsibility. This Yang has already had my son apologize, and since Your Highness feels that it is not enough, then this Yang will hand my son over to Your Highness. If you want to hit or scold him, it's up to you. "
Wu Yizong was stunned. He never thought that Yang Fan would do this to him. Such a small child, he ….. How could he hit him? How could he punish him? Yang Fan put down the child and cupped his hands towards him before turning to leave. Yang Nianzu was afraid and quickly grabbed his clothes, pitifully saying, "Father!"
Yang Fan turned around and solemnly said to him, "What does father usually teach you? Tell me, peeing on this uncle's head, is it your fault?"
Yang Nianzu timidly said, "Yes!"
"As a man, it is your fault, so you have to take responsibility! Right now, father is handing you over to this uncle to deal with. Are you afraid? "
Yang Nianzu said, "This child is not afraid!"
Yang Fan smiled and said, "Un, that's a good boy. You're not allowed to cry!"
Yang Nianzu flattened his small mouth and nodded, "Un!"
Yang Fan happily patted his son's tender shoulder and swaggered away.
Yang Nianzu was a bit scared, but he worked hard to follow his father's requirements, to be a responsible man. Yang Nianzu clenched his small fists and pursed his lips as he stood there firmly. His small body was like a little white rabbit standing in front of a big bad wolf.
He had a three-piece hairstyle, with one on his forehead and one on his left and right, making him look very cute. He was wearing a short jacket embroidered with flowers, birds, and beasts, and a pair of flared trousers. He also had a pair of tiger-head shoes on his feet. The solemn expression on his face made him look like a great hero who would rather die than submit.
Wu Yizong looked at Yang Fan's back and then turned to look at Yang Nianzu. He couldn't help being dumbfounded. He was a dignified royal prince, and he was already fifty-four years old. What could he say or do to such a young child?
The child's father had already left. Not to mention saying a single harsh word to this child, he would be despised to death by others if he said a single word. In fact, the way the people around him looked at him was already not right.
The people attending today's banquet were all members of the Wu family or people who were close to the Wu family, but even these people looked at him with a trace of disdain. The women were even more unreserved. Wu Yizong was an old man and a dignified prince, yet he was making things difficult for such a cute child. The women who were overflowing with motherly instincts already used undisguised tones to vent their dissatisfaction at him.
Wu Yizong was slightly at a loss. "How did things become like this? I originally wanted to make things difficult for Yang Fan. How did it become someone else making things difficult for me?"
Yang Fan didn't leap back to the Yang residence. Instead, he walked out of Princess An Le's main doors. Once he was out of the main doors, he turned in the direction of his own residence. Just as he was about to reach the entrance of the residence, he saw an ox cart coming his way. The cart moved slowly and stopped beside him. An old face poked out from the cart and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Erlang."
That face was abnormally old, and his hair was white. Yang Fan was stunned for a moment before he recognized the person in the cart as Du Jingting. Du Jingting was in his early fifties, but he had taken good care of himself and had always been elegant and graceful. Yang Fan hadn't expected that after not seeing him for such a short period of time, he would become like this. Although his son had courted death himself, Yang Fan still felt some guilt when he saw this haggard old man.
After Du Jingting said "Erlang", he shrank back, obviously inviting him to get on the cart. Yang Fan stepped onto the cart and entered the carriage. Du Jingting silently gestured for Yang Fan to take a seat, and Yang Fan sat down on one of the stools. Du Jingting said in a hoarse voice, "Sect Master Yang, this old man wants to deal with Zhang Changzong."
Yang Fan wasn't the least bit surprised by his straightforwardness and what he said. He nodded calmly and said, "Zhang Changzong is also our enemy."
Du Jingting said, "It is precisely because of this that this old man has informed you that this old man will soon be making a move against him!"
Yang Fan frowned and said, "You want to deal with him, and so do I. It's not just you and me. In fact, both the Wu and Li families want to move against him. If this was easy to do, the Second Zhang would have collapsed long ago. Right now, the Second Zhang's imperial favor is flourishing, and we can't be too hasty. If we don't kill the snake, it will instead raise their vigilance. "
Du Jingting said with a sigh, "From what Erlang means, you can't give this old man any help?"
Yang Fan shook his head apologetically and said, "I'm sorry! I can't! My every move doesn't represent me alone. I don't think that now is the time to attack Zhang Changzong. "
Du Jingting nodded and laughed bitterly. He slowly closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, saying quietly, "The Wu and Li families also have the same intentions. In reality, this old man also knows that now is not the best time to deal with them, but this old man can't help it! "
Du Jingting slowly opened his eyes and looked at Yang Fan with a pained expression. He said, "Zhang Changzong is leisurely and carefree in the palace while my son is slowly rotting in his coffin. I often dream of him. In my dreams, he would ask me tearfully why I haven't avenged him …"
As Du Jingting spoke, his old tears flowed down. Yang Fan was unmoved and calmly asked in response, "So you are willing to risk the future of the Du Family?"
Du Jingting shook his head and said, "No! Even if all of my sons died in his hands, I wouldn't let my entire family die with him. I'll be very careful when I make my move! "
Yang Fan suddenly asked, "Before Mister Du came, did you entertain guests?"
Du Jingting was dazed. He thought that Yang Fan already knew of his whereabouts. In reality, even though Xian Zong was powerful, he would not stare at everyone's whereabouts for no reason. Yang Fan asked this because he smelled the faint scent of alcohol. Du Jingting nodded and said, "Duke Wei is this old man's good friend of many years. Today, this old man invited him to tour the Qu Chi. Because he came to congratulate Prince Consort Wu on his move, he came back early."
The one that Du Jingting called Duke Wei was naturally Wei Yuanzhong. Wei Yuanzhong was the assistant minister of the Phoenix Pavilion and the Luan Tai Administrator of the Phoenix Pavilion. However, he had originally been the Vice Minister of the Imperial Censor of the Austere Palace and had been the Minister of Austere Palace for decades. Most of the Imperial Censors of the Imperial Censor Palace were under his tutelage.
Hearing this, Yang Fan already understood what Du Jingting planned to do. He was silent for a moment and then slowly said, "If you do not keep this matter secret and fall into the hands of the second Zhang, this Yang will do his best to help you out."
Du Jingting said sensitively, "Sect Master Yang means that this old man will definitely fail?"
Yang Fan did not answer. He cupped his hands at Du Jingting and turned to leave the ox cart. Du Jingting was silent for a moment and then lifted his boot to lightly kick the carriage board. The ox cart continued to move towards Princess Anle's residence.
When Yang Fan returned to the residence, Xiao Man just happened to come out from behind the screen wall to welcome him. Yang Sirong and A 'Nu followed behind her. A' Nu was still carrying little Yang Ji in her arms. When she saw Yang Fan return alone, Xiao Man's beautiful face couldn't help but turn pale. "Langjun, where is Nianzu?"
Yang Fan smiled and said, "Nianzu, perhaps he will be back in a while."
Yang Ji was lying in his mother's arms and biting his finger. When he saw his father walking over, he immediately opened his mouth and stretched out both hands towards him. Most of his body was stretched out. Yang Fan took him from A 'Nu's arms and carried him with one arm. He strode towards the rear residence. Xiao Man stamped her feet and complained, "Langjun, how can you be so assured to leave the child with others?"
Before Xiao Man could finish her words, a clear cough was heard in front of the residence, "Uh … cough!"
Xiao Man and A 'Nu heard the sound and turned their heads. They saw the eldest young master of the Yang family holding a porcelain bowl in his left hand and a soup spoon in his right hand. He was dipping maltose into the porcelain bowl and eating it all over his mouth and face. Wu Youyi and Wu Youji stood on either side of him with smiles on their faces. One was holding a bamboo horse while the other was holding a windmill.
Wu Youyi smiled from ear to ear and said, "Lady Yang, quickly take your precious son back!"
