Chapter 863 Siblings

After the New Year, the imperial court was the first to write. There were many things that the imperial court had to figure out after the founding of the country, such as the supervision of the chamber of commerce and how the government agencies would come forward to ensure that the people would not be oppressed.

Each item requires a certain degree of control, and if it is not properly controlled, a chain reaction will occur.

While the court was busy, students from various states participating in the Spring Festival came to the capital one after another. Not many people from the Zhou family in Huizhou came. Obviously, the Zhou family knew how ferocious the Spring Festival was this year. More children of the Zhou family were studying hard at home to prepare for the start of the Royal Academy.

There are not many places available in each state. Except for places for special talents, everyone needs to take the exam.

The arrival of students in the capital also added to the conversation. When the People's Republic of China was first founded, it was important to become famous as early as possible. Today it is not whose poems are in the newspapers, but tomorrow it is who is debating with others and being commented on by so-and-so passing by.

When students were creating a topic in the capital, there were also rumors in the capital that students from the south would be eliminated this spring. It was also pointed out that the rankings in the north were relatively low in last year's national unified examination.

Such rumors have spread into the palace. Well, I can't say that. It should be Yang Xixuan's spies hidden in the crowd who immediately conveyed the news.

This resulted in a somewhat bad atmosphere between the officials from the north and the south in the court. Officials would naturally stick to each other based on their region. The fight between the north and the south was not just about fighting for words. Northern officials did not want southern officials to suppress them in the future.

When Yang Xixuan was in Jiaozhou, he didn't feel it clearly. Now that he has returned to the capital, many neglected problems have become more prominent.

Yang Xixuan will not get involved. He will take time out every day to teach the prince how to balance and control power.

Zi Heng will also attend the Spring Festival this year, and at the same time, after the Spring Festival is over, it will be Zi Heng’s wedding day.

The spring wedding has little impact on Zi Heng, and even if Zi Heng fails the exam, the wedding date will not be postponed.

Yang Xi doesn't worry about her eldest son Chunwei, she only focuses on decorating the wedding room.

The entire east side of Duke Ding's mansion was Ziheng's area. Yang Xi already knew from Mrs. Liu how much furniture was included in the dowry, so she didn't worry too much about the furniture in her son's yard, but instead built more warehouses for the young couple.

In recent years, Ziheng has spent money from the government. However, Ziheng has private property. Although his parents have not set up private property, Ziheng's property was given by Yang Xixuan, and Yang Xi also confiscated his son's private property.

Ziheng's own property has been very rich in recent years, so the couple's treasury is really indispensable.

On this day, Yang Xi was sorting out the family property. She planned to sort out some of the property that would be distributed to their brothers after Zi Heng got married. Once Zi Lu got married, she could divide the family property one by one. Some of it would be kept as expenses for the government, and some of it would be used as expenses for the government.

Wait until Yang Xi and his wife break up a hundred years later.

At noon, Yang Xi felt dizzy and dizzy. She wanted to take a nap and rest for a while, but there was a pair of siblings kneeling at the door of Duke Dingguo's mansion.

Zhou Zicheng frowned. After he and his wife had been to Jiaozhou, he had already noticed that his wife had some secrets. The couple were not as close as when they first got married. This time, his wife brought someone to the house directly. He was very dissatisfied.

No matter how ugly her husband's expression was, She Ling had never found a chance to come to the Duke's Mansion. This time she must find out the attitude of the Duke's Mansion.

The concierge has already come out to inquire. The street where the Dingguo Duke's Palace is located is near either the Duke or a high-ranking official. There are also several vacant foundations that are of the specifications of the palace and will be the residence of the future prince.

It can be said that the entire street is filled with top dignitaries, and officials without family roots will not easily come here.

Today, the two siblings were kneeling in the Duke Dingguo Mansion, attracting inquisitive glances from countless people.

The guard didn't move, and the boy guarding the door hurriedly came out, "Get up quickly, this is not a place where you can just kneel down."

The two siblings were dressed in rags with reed flowers leaking out. The elder sister hugged her younger brother tightly, while the two dirty children huddled together out of fear.

She Ling hurriedly stepped forward and announced her family name, "My husband-in-law is from the Zhou family in Huizhou. He came to Beijing to take the exam for the Spring Festival."

Due to the strict rules of the Duke's mansion, the young man was arrogant but had no eyes for others. After hearing this, the young man frowned and said, "The Zhou clan from Huizhou came to visit me a few days ago. Why don't you remember that there are two of them?"

Zhou Zicheng's face turned red when he heard this. He wanted to come to the Duke's Mansion to visit him, but unfortunately this time the clan leader led a team to the capital, and the clan leader did not let him follow him to visit.

She Ling softened her stiff smile and said: "My husband and I traveled south to study and came to Beijing late. Let's not talk about our husband and wife. We met two children unexpectedly. After asking, we found out that they were looking for the Duke's mansion. We will take two of them with us."

The child is here."

The boy seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "Bringing people to the Duke's Mansion without asking for explanation?"

Is this really a member of the Duke's clan and not an enemy?

Zhou Zizhen wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl in, and said hurriedly: "I'm not being strict anymore."

He wanted to ask, but his wife interrupted him every time.

The young man was a very smart man. He came to the capital and met a lot of people of all kinds. After gathering his nerves, he ignored the couple in front of him. He knelt down and asked the two siblings as kindly as possible, "Don't be afraid, the Duke's government will never bully you."

Man, the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion is even known as Lord Qingtian."

Between the two siblings, the younger brother had the bigger idea. He pulled away his older sister's hand because when he arrived at Dingguo Palace, the boy dared to tell the truth, "Our mother's name is Yunya, and she used to be the personal maid of Princess An.

"

The boy became serious when he heard this, "What proof do you have?"

The little boy pursed his lips and said, "Young man, you don't have anything to prove."

My mother had some jewelry when she married my father, but she had already pawned it.

The young man stood up and sent the news back to the house. He took his two children to the room where the gatekeeper was resting and waited. Before the young man could pay attention to Zhou Zicheng and his wife, Zhou Zicheng had already pulled his wife away.

Zhou Zifeng had a cold face and She Ling was also scared. She Ling did not dare to make a fuss and could only be dragged away obediently.

In the Duke's Mansion, Yang Xi came to the front yard in person after receiving the news.

When Yang Xi saw the two children, she personally wiped their faces with a handkerchief. She could also recall Yun Ya's appearance and carefully identify the two children's faces. The sister's face was similar to Yun Ya's, and the boy's eyes and nose were

Like, a son looks like his mother in five ways.

After Yang Xi recognized them clearly, she was not in a hurry to talk to the two children. She signaled for someone to take the two children to wash up and change into warm clothes. She also ordered them to be given medicine. Not only were the two children injured, but their cheeks and hands were covered with frostbite.

.

It was already an hour later when we saw the two children again. By this time, the two siblings had already eaten rice porridge to fill their bellies.

Yang Xi saw the two children kowtowing to her, and hurriedly picked up the two siblings, "You are also very lucky, how old are you that you dare to go to Beijing alone?"

She had thought a lot just now. Yun Ya would not let her child find the Duke's mansion alone while Yun Ya was still alive. It was obvious that Yun Ya had died.

The elder sister was cautious, but the younger brother dared to speak. They felt safe with Yang Xi. The younger brother knelt down again, "My mother starved to death."

After saying this, the siblings burst into tears and watched helplessly as their mother was locked up.

Yang Xi's eyes darkened with anger. She suppressed her anger and said, "I will make the decision for your mother."

When Zhou Yu returned home, he listened to the steward talk about today's events. When he found his wife, he saw her sitting by the window in a daze.
