My Daming New Empire

With complicated thoughts, he returned to the Yang Mansion.Now Yang Shiqi went to another courtyard with the prince, the Yang family lived in the capital, and he was the only male in the family.

There are grandmothers, mothers, sister-in-laws, nephews, and nieces.If he goes to sea, he is indeed a little worried.

When he returned home, he immediately attracted the attention of the old grandmother. "Dao'er, I didn't take a rest today, so why did I go home at this time.

In my hometown in Jiangxi, my father likes the smart Yang Ji, but my grandmother prefers the honest Yang Dao.

Yang Dao also knew that it was not easy for his grandmother, so he remarried twice to bring up his father, and treated his grandmother very filially.

In this family, the mother is an irrelevant person, and dare not have the slightest opinion of her own in her whole life.If he wants to go to sea, he must ask his grandmother's permission.

As long as the grandmother agrees, even the father dare not disobey the grandmother.

"Grandma..." Yang Dao held her arm, asked her to sit down, and squatted in front of her, hesitating to speak.

Hou raised Yang Dao since he was a child, so he didn't know that this appearance was just asking for something.She couldn't help laughing and said, "You little monkey, what can I ask Grandma?"

"His Highness Grandson issued an order to recruit soldiers from the navy to go to Dongzhou. Grandson wants to go, but grandma is reluctant."

Hou looked into Yang Dao's eyes, caressed his face with thin hands, and said with a leisurely sigh: "When your father was your age, he also left home to study in Wuchang. Grandma never dissuaded her, and even supported him. Pack your bags.

At the beginning, I was alone in the family, and I depended on your father for life, so I could let him leave home easily.Now that you have your parents and your sister-in-law, how can I stop you if you are with them.

A good man has ambitions in all directions, and for the continuation and development of the family, he should overcome obstacles.There is no reason to be greedy for comfort, stay at home, and spend time with a group of female relatives! "

Yang Dao rested his chin on his grandmother's knee as he did when he was a child, and said softly: "The grandson is not greedy for wealth and comfort, but he just doesn't want to part with his grandmother."

Hou is 74 this year, and in this era, he is definitely considered a celebrity.

However, because he experienced a lot of wind and rain when he was young, he didn't suffer any crimes, and he is still in good health and spirit.

Touching Yang Dao's face, she couldn't help but become emotional, her eyes turned red. "Dao'er, let's go with peace of mind. Grandma can still hold on and wait for your return in the capital."

Having said that, no one can guarantee that Yang Dao will be able to come back to see his grandmother when he goes out this time.

Yang Dao is not a heartless person, this parting of life and death is a great tragedy in the world, even though he hesitated a lot, he couldn't help but shed tears at this moment.

"Hurry up and put away your golden beans. Grandma is old and her eye sockets are shallow. You are a big man, so don't act like a child. You should think about how to tell Xie's family."

Although Yang's mother next to her was reluctant to let her son go out for three years, and had to go out again just after three months, she wiped her eyes and said, "I'll go and prepare a four-color gift for you, and you go to Xie's house to listen to their opinions." .”

After a while, Mother Yang carried two packs of snacks, one pack of tea, one pack of sugar, and a pack of meat sticks wrapped in red paper in a bamboo basket, and handed the bamboo basket to Yang Dao's hand.

Xie's house and Yang's house are on the same street, not far away. Yang Dao carried a bamboo basket and knocked on the door of Xie's house.

He is the uncle of the Xie family. Although he is not married yet, he is not considered an outsider.

The concierge welcomed him into the room with a smile, and said, "Master is not at home in the Imperial College, but the eldest son is studying hard at home."

Yang Dao handed him the bamboo basket and said with a smile: "I'm just here to look for my brother-in-law. Please pass some small gifts to my aunt."

The concierge smiled and carried the basket to the back house with a little maid, and ignored Yang Dao. Yang Dao went directly to the door of the East Wing and knocked on the open door.

Xie Zhenqi squatted on the ground and was sorting out a stack of manuscripts. When he saw someone Yang Dao, he smiled and said, "Why are you here at this time? Sigh... I don't need your help. Only I can distinguish these manuscripts. Your help is just more help." The busier you are. Sit casually, Bodhi, and bring a hot water bottle."

Yang Dao straightened up, thinking about Xie Zhenqi's bow to the end, and said softly: "Today, Dao wants to plead guilty to brother Zhenqi..."

The little maid came to the back house with the basket and handed the things to Ouyang Wan.

Ouyang Wan looked at these things, couldn't help laughing and said: "It's just a few yards away, and I came here as soon as I came, but there are so many vain gifts. Sister Feng, go and see what the eldest lady is doing..."

As soon as she was out of Ouyang Wan's sight, the little girl ran up quickly and came to the courtyard where the two young ladies lived. She saw the eldest lady teaching the second lady to practice calligraphy under the tree full of pagoda trees.

"Miss, uncle is here..."

The younger sister Xie Zhenyu breathed a sigh of relief as if amnesty, and said with a playful smile: "Sister, won't you go to the front yard to see that black charcoal head?"

Xie Zhenfang was ashamed of her position. She gave her a blank look and said, "It's only natural for me to go to see him. Don't try to rely on these two hundred words of yours."

Xie Zhenyu said coquettishly: "Sister..."

This sound was repeated thousands of times, making people's liver tremble, and the girls couldn't help laughing.

Mrs. Feng also entered the yard at this time, and said with a smile: "Miss, you go to the front yard to have a look. It's not late at night, Mr. Yang Qian is here at this time, I'm afraid there is something wrong."

Although a little shy, the joy of seeing Yang Dao still made her nod her head, lightly moved her footsteps, and walked towards the front yard, ignoring the jokes of her sister and the little girls.

In the East Wing, the smile on Xie Zhenqi's face froze, squatting on the ground with his head up, a little silly.

His head was a little silly after reading every day these days, and he didn't get out of the book for a while.But he is a very smart person, and he quickly realized that Yang Dao had something to discuss with him today.

Regarding Yang Dao's character, he still trusts him and will not do anything indecent.And he is quite satisfied with his sister, so he probably has no intention of regretting the marriage.

So what is the reason for apologizing today?

He quickly stood up from the ground, supported Yang Dao's arm and said, "Zhenglu, you came so suddenly, what happened?"

Yang Dao said sincerely: "It is Dao's blessing to be in-law with brother Zhenqi, but for the sake of the family, Dao doesn't want to spend a leisurely life in the capital, and wants to go to Dongzhou with the fleet."

After a trip to sea, Xie Zhenqi didn't believe any of the absurd rumors spread by the folks.

Although the sea is dangerous, the Ming Fleet has powerful ships and cannons, and now it has the ability to locate, so as long as it avoids the typhoon, there will be no major problems.

The key is the miasma in various places, but now Tai Hospital has also developed various drugs to treat miasma.

I went to West Continent, Europa, and Daming with nearly 10 people, and the number of deaths due to miasma is less than [-]. This is already a great improvement.

Although I don't think going to sea is necessarily dangerous, but Yang Dao and his sister have just got married, and the two families are still discussing the date of marriage, and if they leave, the marriage will be delayed.

My younger sister is already 17 years old, and after two or three years, she will be an old girl.

He looked a little unhappy, and asked: "You are the only son in the Yang family now, so you shouldn't have to go?"

Yang Daochang bowed his head and said: "This is Dao's initiative to apply."

Xie Zhenqi understood the current situation of the Yang family and the burden on Yang Dao. Although he supported Yang Dao intellectually, he couldn't accept it emotionally.

A weak voice came in from outside, asking softly, "When will you leave for Dongzhou?"

Yang Dao turned around and saw that the beauty he was thinking about was standing at the door. His heart moved, and he bowed and said, "I've seen... big sister."

He wanted to call Miss, but it was too unfamiliar to call her Zhenfang, but he thought it was frivolous, so he called her ranking in the family.

Xie Zhenfang squatted slightly towards him, made a lady's salute, and asked: "Since Zhenglu is a navy, it is an honor to be a pioneer of the court, why is he hesitant?"

Yang Dao looked at her little face, feeling so emotional that he couldn't speak.

Xie Zhenfang suddenly understood, blushed and lowered her head.But he quickly raised his head and asked, "When will you leave for Dongzhou?"
