Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 519: Repay the life-saving favor with your own body?
Yang Zhengshan hurried to Yang Wanqing's courtyard. Several little girls in the courtyard were chattering about this. When they saw him coming, they quickly stood up and greeted him.

"Greetings to the Marquis!"

"Ok!"

Yang Zhengshan smiled and nodded. His eyes first fell on Yang Wanqing. Seeing that she was really not injured, he looked at the others.

He knew Liang Qiuyue and Lu Ningke. Although he had only met them a few times, he had quite a few impressions of them.

It was the first time he met Qu Shaoshang. The little girl looked petite and cute, with a pair of bright big eyes that were very lively.

"Grandpa, this is Princess Nanhua!" Yang Wanqing introduced.

Qu Shaoshang bowed and said, "Shaoshang greets Grandpa Yang!"

"It turns out to be Princess Nanhua. I'm glad you're all okay!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

Although he had no friendship with the Duke of Xingguo, Yang Zhengshan naturally had to greet the guest with a smile.

"Today's incident happened suddenly, so Shao Shang had no choice but to come and bother Grandpa Yang. Please forgive me, Grandpa Yang!" Qu Shao Shang said politely.

Yang Zhengshan chatted with her casually for a few words, then told Yang Wanqing to treat her well and left.

It wouldn't be appropriate for him to stay here when a group of little girls were talking together.

About an hour later, Ding Qiu returned from Cangyuan Lake.

In the study, Ding Qiu reported to Yang Zhengshan: "The people from Shangwu Temple have already gone there. Apart from a dozen people injured at Cangyuan Lake, there are not many traces left!"

"The identity of the assassin has not been found out?" Yang Zhengshan asked in surprise.

Ding Qiu shook his head. "No, the assassin only left some arrows, nothing else. Several people died at that time, and their bodies were taken away by the assassin!"

Yang Zhengshan seemed to be thinking about something.

Assassinating Qu Shaogong is no small matter.

Qu Shaogong is the eldest son of Duke Xingguo, and also the only grandson of Duke Xingguo Qu Changkong. If Qu Shaogong dies, the Duke Xingguo's Mansion will probably be extinct.

As for who would assassinate Qu Shaogong, it’s really hard to say.

The Xingguo Duke's Mansion has been guarding Southern Xinjiang for six generations. About two hundred years ago, the Xingguo Duke's Mansion has been in charge of Southern Xinjiang Town. Up to now, the Xingguo Duke has been passed down for six generations.

The main enemy that Nanjiang Town faces is the Jinlong Dynasty, and the Xingguo Mansion and the Jinlong Dynasty also have a feud. It is not impossible that the Jinlong Dynasty sent someone to assassinate Qu Shaogong.

As for other possibilities, Yang Zhengshan couldn't think of them for a while.

However, it is better to investigate this matter, after all, Yang Wanqing is involved.

"Let Wu Zheng check and see if he can find some clues!" Yang Zhengshan ordered.

"Yes!" Ding Qiu replied.

……

Towards evening, Qu Shaogong arrived at the Yang family.

In the front hall, Yang Zhengshan personally received Qu Shaogong.

It's not that Qu Shaogong needs him to come out in person to receive him. In fact, Yang Mingcheng and Yang Chengye can receive him. It's just because Yang Zhengshan wanted to know about the assassination in Cangyuan Lake, so he came out in person.

"Qu Shaogong, grandson of Duke Xingguo, pays his respects to Marquis Jing'an!" Qu Shaogong bowed and said.

Yang Zhengshan said with a smile: "No need to be polite, please take a seat!"

The two men sat down, tea was served, and Yang Zhengshan looked at Qu Shaogong.

The eldest son of the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion looks good. Although he is a little thin, he has a strong temperament and is not the kind of person who is timid.

Yang Zhengshan was looking at Qu Shaogong, and Qu Shaogong was also secretly looking at Yang Zhengshan.

He didn't know much about Yang Zhengshan. After all, he had been in Southern Xinjiang all the time and had only been in Kyoto for half a year. Although he had heard that there was an upstart Jing'an Marquis Mansion in Kyoto, this was his first time dealing with the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.

"Have you found out the identities of those assassins?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Qu Shaogong put down the tea bowl and said seriously: "No, but I think it should be sent by the Jinlong Dynasty."

"Oh! Is the Jinlong Dynasty so bold?" Yang Zhengshan was a little surprised.

Qu Shaogong said: "Marquis Jing'an may not know that my grandfather had a great grudge against the royal family of the Jinlong Dynasty. Thirty years ago, the Jinlong Dynasty attacked Nanjiang Town, and my grandfather fought a great battle with them, and even beheaded the prince of the Jinlong Dynasty!"

"More than ten years ago, the Jinlong Dynasty intended to assassinate my grandfather, but my grandfather set a trap, resulting in a congenital warrior from the Jinlong royal family being left in Nanhua City."

"Since then, the Jinlong royal family has become increasingly weak, and the Jinlong Dynasty has become increasingly chaotic."

"After the old king passed away, the new king inherited the throne, but his hatred for my grandfather became even stronger. In the past two years, I have been assassinated many times by people from the Jinlong Dynasty. Grandfather had no choice but to send me to Kyoto!"

Yang Zhengshan suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Duke Xingguo left his grandchildren in Kyoto years ago. It turned out to be because of the assassination by the Jinlong Dynasty.

"In that case, the Jinlong Dynasty is really abominable!"

Qu Shaogong smiled gently and said, "The Jinlong Dynasty is indeed abominable. They actually dared to commit murder near Kyoto. However, this time they also angered His Majesty. His Majesty has ordered the Secret Guards and Shangwu Temple to thoroughly investigate the assassins of the Jinlong Dynasty."

"This time, it's all thanks to Miss Wanqing. If it weren't for her help, I would have lost my life in Cangyuan Lake!"

As he said this, he stood up and bowed to Yang Zhengshan to express his gratitude, "I will remember your life-saving grace in my heart. If I have any mission in the future, I will definitely not refuse!"

Yang Zhengshan smiled and waved his hand, "It's just a small favor, there's no need to do this. Duke Xingguo has been guarding the southern border for the court and protecting the country's stability. He has made great contributions. Wanqing has only done what she should do. It's nothing!"

Qu Shaogong took out a gift list, handed it to Yang Zhengshan, and said, "How can I forget your life-saving grace? However, I don't know how to thank you at the moment, so I can only prepare a small thank-you gift to express my gratitude. Please don't refuse, Marquis Jing'an!"

Yang Zhengshan was stunned.

Thank you!

This was something he didn't expect.

However, he still took the gift list and looked at the items on it, his eyes flashing slightly.

"In that case, I will accept it on behalf of Wanqing!"

Wanqing did help after all, so she can refuse anything else but accept this thank-you gift.

Seeing that Yang Zhengshan accepted the gift list, Qu Shaogong felt a little relieved.

Afterwards, Yang Zhengshan asked someone to bring Qu Shaoshang and send the brother and sister away.

Looking at Qu Shaogong's departing back, Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard, thoughtfully.

This Qu Shaogong is a nice young man, but it's a pity that he comes from the Mansion of Duke Xingguo, otherwise it would be possible to consider whether he is suitable for Yang Wanqing.

The Duke of Xingguo's Mansion is far away in Nanjiang Town. If Yang Wanqing were to marry there, it would be too far away.

Previously, Yang Zhengshan chose Guo Ziqiao from the Wuding Marquis Mansion, but Yu Qingyi felt that it was too far away, let alone the Xingguo Duke Mansion.

The Marquis of Wuding's Mansion might be able to return to the capital in a few years, but the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion will be stationed in Nanjiang Town forever. If I marry there, I may not see them many times in my life.

Moreover, the Xingguo Mansion was facing a lot of troubles, and the Jinlong Dynasty would definitely not let it go, and maybe this young palace lady Qu would die one day. Yang Zhengshan shook his head with some regret, turned around and walked back to the front yard, looking at the thank-you gifts all over the yard, he searched inside and found a white jade box.

The reason why he helped Yang Wanqing accept the thank-you gift was because it contained a precious medicine that he needed.

Fireworks red lotus.

No, it’s not what he needs, but what Xue Qiaoer needs.

In the past three years, he had exchanged the Hundred Herbs Brew for many precious medicines, and even had three Golden Jade Camellias. However, he had never found the Flame Red Lotus.

I didn't expect Qu Shaogong to deliver it today.

When the jade box was opened, a fiery red lotus pod was placed inside.

Yang Zhengshan's mouth curled up slightly. The Flame Red Lotus is full of treasures. The lotus root is a rare and delicious ingredient. The lotus leaves can also be used as medicine. Although they are not precious medicines, they are also rare medicinal materials. Even the petals have the effect of nourishing the meridians.

Of course, the most important thing is the lotus seeds in the lotus pod, which have the effect of penetrating the meridians. They have similar effects to the three yellow plums, and both help to condense the innate true qi and break through the innate bottleneck.

What Xue Qiaoer needs is the lotus seed. I don’t know whether Xue Qiaoer has found the Flame Red Lotus. They have been in the Jinlong Dynasty for three years and have not returned yet.

Putting away the Flame Red Lotus, Yang Zhengshan instructed Lu Shou: "Send these things to Wanqing's yard!"

Since it is a thank-you gift to Yang Wanqing, it should naturally be given to Yang Wanqing. As a grandfather, he is benefiting from his granddaughter today.

Back in the study, Yang Zhengshan took out the lotus pod of the Flame Red Lotus, which had a total of eighteen lotus seeds on it.

With a thought, he entered the Lingquan space.

There are eighteen lotus seeds, six of which are left for Xue Qiaoer.

The remaining twelve can be planted in the pond within the Lingquan space.

However, there are now some lotus leaves floating in the pond in the space. Twelve unknown lotus flowers are distributed around the spiritual spring, and each of them has three lotus leaves, as crystal clear as jade, and looks extremely pleasing to the eye.

It’s just that this unknown lotus grows too slowly. After six years, it has only grown three lotus leaves, and the largest lotus leaf is only the size of a palm.

It grows so slowly even when soaking in the spiritual spring water. I don’t know what kind of treasure this is.

Yang Zhengshan had already gotten used to these unknown lotuses. He just took a look at them and ignored them, instead planting the seeds of the Flame Red Lotus.

However, this flaming red lotus grows in hot springs. I don’t know if it can grow in this spiritual spring.

Yang Zhengshan felt that it was not a big problem. The Bingxin Fruit grew in the cold snowy land, but it still grew well in the Lingquan space.

The Lingquan Space has the ability to allow plants to ignore their growth environment. No matter whether they are spiritual plants or precious medicines, they can thrive in the Lingquan Space no matter what kind of growth environment they need.

……

The assassination of Qu Shaogong caused quite a stir in Kyoto. After all, there were many children of Kyoto's powerful people with Qu Shaogong at that time.

Moreover, many children of powerful and wealthy people were affected by this at that time, and five or six were injured. Although none of them died, they suffered an unexpected disaster.

For several days, Qu Shaogong ran around to many powerful families to apologize.

Although many people were angry about this, no one blamed Qu Shaogong for it. The key point was that blaming him was useless. The Duke of Xingguo's Mansion was not an ordinary powerful family. Although it was not in Kyoto, no one in Kyoto could look down on it.

After the Secret Guards and Shangwu Temple arrested the assassins from the Jinlong Dynasty, the matter was over.

It’s just that Qu Shaoshang has been coming to Jing’an Marquis’ Mansion to look for Yang Wanqing recently. Naturally, Yang Zhengshan won’t pay attention to his younger daughters’ interactions as he is still worried about Yang Wanqing’s marriage.

No one knew who had spread the news that he was choosing a husband for Yang Wanqing. Recently, many people had invited matchmakers to come to the Yang family to inquire about the news.

In just a few days, the threshold of the Yang family was almost trampled down, making Yu Qingyi and Wang exhausted.

"Hey, this is the last time. If it continues like this, I won't be able to practice properly!"

In the back hall of the main courtyard, Yu Qingyi felt a little upset.

She has been looking for an opportunity to break through to the innate realm for some time, but now, a group of people come to propose marriage every day, forcing her to deal with them and unable to concentrate on her practice.

Yang Zhengshan was also speechless, "Didn't you ask Wanqing what she meant?"

"This damn girl, when I asked her she just said, "Let me take a look first," and then there was no further news!" Yu Qingyi was also completely at a loss as to what to do with Yang Wanqing.

The silly girl was obviously worried, but she always made excuses.

The couple looked at each other and let out a silent sigh at the same time.

This is probably the only thing in the world that can make them both feel helpless.

It’s funny to think about it. A congenital warrior, a half-step congenital warrior, is so troubled by his granddaughter’s marriage. Who would believe it if I told others about it?

"Forget it, forget it, let nature take its course. Let that girl do whatever she wants. Anyway, your husband has said before that she can make her own decision before she turns 20, and I will decide for her after she turns 20! There are only about two years left."

Yang Zhengshan decided to give up. This matter is not something you can do the same as you want.

"Then I won't care about it anymore?" Yu Qingyi hesitated.

"Let the eldest brother's wife take care of it. You should practice well first!" Yang Zhengshan said.

The granddaughter's marriage is important, but the daughter-in-law's cultivation is also important. Now is the critical period for Yu Qingyi to break through to the innate realm, and it cannot be delayed because of other things.

……

Originally, Yang Zhengshan had planned to ignore Yang Wanqing's marriage, but later he found that something was wrong.

At the beginning, it was only Qu Shaoshang who often came to the Yang family to find Yang Wanqing. However, since some time ago, Qu Shaogong also started to frequently go to the Yang family, and often took Qu Shaoshang and Yang Wanqing out to play.

That day, Yang Zhengshan was preparing to go out to the Martial Arts Pavilion when he happened to see Qu Shaogong and Qu Shaoshang taking Yang Wanqing out again.

Yang Zhengshan stood behind the gate, watching the three people leave talking and laughing, stroking his beard and muttering, "Is this kid going to kidnap my granddaughter?"

To repay the life-saving grace with one's own body?
"Xingguogong Mansion?"

He was a little hesitant. Although he felt that Qu Shaogong was not bad, he felt a little dissatisfied if Wanqing really married him.

"We won't be going to the Martial Arts Pavilion today. You guys should just rest at home!"

Yang Zhengshan said this to a few of his close followers, and then quietly followed Yang Wanqing, Qu Shaogong and the other two. He wanted to see if Yang Wanqing was interested in Qu Shaogong.

After the three of them went out, they went to Zhengyang Street, the most prosperous street in Kyoto, and started visiting shops.

Yang Zhengshan followed behind them and watched them talking and laughing. The more he watched, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Damn, this kid really has evil intentions.

The look in Qu Shaogong's eyes when he looked at Yang Wanqing was full of tenderness and affection, and it was almost as if "I love you" was written on his face.

There was something wrong with the way Yang Wanqing looked at Qu Shaogong. Although it was not so obvious, the smile with curved eyebrows could not be concealed.

When the two of them stood together, Qu Shaoshang was like a light bulb, very bright but easily ignored.
