Chapter 114 Whisper
After leaving the Lieutenant General's Mansion, Yang Zhengshan took Yang Chengxu to the garrison officer's office and had a chat with Zhao Yuan.
A few days later, the three transfer documents were delivered to Yinghe Fort.
Yang Mingwu was actually granted the rank of Qian Hu and served as the defense officer of Tianhe Fort.
Yang Mingzhi was promoted to the position of Zhenfu of the Weisi Yamen, and was in charge of the Zhenfu Division.
Yang Chengxu was promoted to deputy captain of the Ningzhou City Garrison Office.
On the day he received the transfer document, Yang Zhengshan held a banquet in the government office to celebrate with Yang Mingwu and the other two.
The next morning, Yang Zhengshan sent the three people away.
It wasn't just the three of them who left. Each of them took three or four people with them.
In this way, more than a dozen official positions under Yang Zhengshan were suddenly vacant. Although most of them were small flags and general flags, they were enough to accommodate the upcoming descendants of the Yang family.
Yang Mingwu and Yang Mingzhi are gone, and Yang Zhengshan also needs to make adjustments.
Yang Chengze was promoted to deputy captain, Lu Wenchun was appointed as pacifier, centurion Ren Sheng was appointed as the defense officer of Linguan Fort, and Yang Minghao was appointed as a trial centurion to take over the infantry previously held by Ren Sheng.
That’s right, Yang Zhengshan took the opportunity to find official positions for Lu Wenchun and Yang Minghao.
Although Lu Wenchun is not a warrior, he is well-educated and can serve as a pacifier.
However, Yang Minghao was already a martial artist at the level of refining strength, so there was no problem in arranging a trial centurion position for him.
Of course, these arrangements must be approved by Zhou Lan.
In early October, after the autumn harvest, more than a dozen members of the Yang family came to Yinghe Fort.
Also coming with them was Mr. Liang Sanye and his family of three.
In the government office's study, Yang Zhengshan, Mr. Liang Sanye and Liang Xiu were sitting at the tea table.
Liang Xiu has grown a lot taller over the past year, but his mature look still makes Yang Zhengshan feel very interesting.
"The shop in Ningzhou City has been bought. You can go there anytime."
Yang Zhengshan took out a land deed and handed it to Mr. Liang Sanye.
The title deed does not belong to him, but to Mr. Liang San. Of course, the money to buy the shop was also paid by Mr. Liang San.
Mr. Liang San took the deed, took a look at it, and then handed it to Liang Xiu. Liang Xiu looked at it carefully for a long time before putting it away.
This father and son pair is really interesting.
The adults don't act like adults and don't have any opinions of their own.
The child is not like a child and does things in a very methodical manner.
"Thank you for your help, uncle!" Liang Xiu raised his little face and said very seriously.
Seeing him like this, Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but reach out and pinch his face, "Little guy, you should be more lively at your age!"
It's really unreasonable for him to be so mature at such a young age.
It’s also the fault of Mr. Liang San, the unreliable father. If Mr. Liang San was more reliable, Liang Xiu wouldn’t have to pretend to be an adult.
Liang Xiu couldn't help but blush when Yang Zhengshan pinched his face.
However, Mr. Liang San, who was standing next to him, said in a very tactless manner: "This child has been like this since he was young. He is so rigid and I don't know who he took after."
After hearing this, Liang Xiu glared at Mr. Liang San with dissatisfaction.
Yang Zhengshan stroked his long beard, chuckled, and stopped teasing Liang Xiu. Instead, he talked to Mr. Liang San about the situation in Ningzhou City.
……
In the backyard room.
Liang Lin sat on the pit, holding Liang's hand, looking her up and down. Seeing that her cheeks were rosy, her eyes were bright, and there was no sign of grievance on her face, she couldn't help but feel relieved.
Before marriage, obey your father; after marriage, obey your husband.
Once you get married, you become the daughter-in-law of your husband's family, and everything should be centered around your husband's family.
Many women do not have an easy life in their husband's family after getting married.
The daughter-in-law of an ordinary family has to obey the orders of her parents-in-law, cook, wash clothes, do housework, etc. These are all reasonable requirements, but some families will find ways to torture their daughters-in-law, treating them like animals and beating and scolding them if they don't do their job.
In wealthy families, the mother-in-law will set rules for her daughter-in-law. For example, you have to serve your parents-in-law when they are eating, and you have to cook whatever they want to eat yourself, etc.
In short, you should be filial to your parents-in-law and listen to them. Whatever they do is right. If you dare to refute or resist them, you are unfilial.
Liang Lin had seen many daughters-in-law from wealthy families being wronged when she was at the Liang family in Jing'an. Later, when her family moved to Anning County, she saw many daughters-in-law from ordinary families being tortured beyond recognition.
So ever since Liang married into the Yang family, she has been worried.
He was afraid that his daughter would be wronged or bullied in the Yang family.
"Your father-in-law is not making things difficult for you, is he?" Although Liang Lin did not realize that her daughter was being wronged, she still wanted to ask in person.
"Ah! Why is my father-in-law making things difficult for me?" Liang was a little confused.
However, she soon understood her mother's worries and said with a smile, "Father-in-law is busy with government affairs all day long and rarely cares about the affairs of the inner house."
"Mom, don't worry, I'm living well here!"
Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Liang Lin's smile became even more intense.
"Hey, I'm really afraid that you will be wronged in the Yang family. When I arranged for you to marry, I thought that you wouldn't have to serve your mother-in-law after you married into the Yang family, and your life would be easier. In addition, the Yang family has a good family tradition and a good reputation outside."
"But as your father-in-law's position becomes more and more powerful, your father and I are becoming more and more uncertain!"
"I'm afraid they will despise your background, and that they will say you have no rules..."
Liang Lin was also a nagging woman, especially after seeing her daughter, she couldn't stop talking.
Liang listened quietly, and when Liang Lin paused, she interrupted and said, "Mom, no one in the family dislikes me. My father-in-law, my eldest sister-in-law, and my second sister-in-law are all very good to me!"
"What about Minghao?" Liang Lin asked.
Liang's cheeks flushed and she said shyly, "My husband is very good to me, too." Seeing her like this, Liang Lin was completely relieved.
Harmony between husband and wife is the most important thing. Even if the parents-in-law are not good, even if there are many conflicts between the sisters-in-law, as long as the husband is sincere to his wife, life will not be too difficult.
Seeing her daughter like this, it is obvious that the young couple has a good relationship.
"Mom, my father-in-law said that a man in the Yang family can take a concubine only if he is childless at the age of 30!" In order to reassure her mother, Liang brought out the family rules set by Yang Zhengshan.
Liang Lin blinked when she heard this, and looked at her without blinking.
"Really?"
"Well, this is the family rule set by my father-in-law. If anyone dares to take a concubine or keep a mistress, my father-in-law will break his legs!" Liang said proudly.
Just based on this family rule, Yang Zhengshan's image in Liang's heart instantly became taller.
Liang Lin was delighted. This family rule guaranteed her daughter's identity and status in the Yang family to the greatest extent. How could she not be happy?
"Then you have to work harder and add a child to the Yang family next year."
Liang lowered her head with blushing cheeks.
After all, she is still a young wife.
But Liang Lin was different. She already had two children, so she was naturally not as shy as Liang.
So Liang Lin began to pass on his experience to Liang.
How to have a baby easily?
What to eat to conceive a boy.
He even mentioned some indescribable postures, which made Liang blush so much that blood seemed to drip out of her face.
If Yang Zhengshan were here, he might be able to have a good discussion with Liang Lin about certain postures.
Uh, just verbal communication.
No, this kind of communication should not happen.
After all, Yang Zhengshan is still a decent person and would not do anything too tasteless.
The mother and daughter were whispering in the room, Yang Zhengshan and Mr. Liang Sanye were talking about the situation in Ningzhou City in the study, and on the other side, Yang Mingcheng and Lu Wenchun were arranging accommodation for a dozen or so Yang family members.
After arriving at Yinghe Fort, these dozen or so Yang family members seemed particularly excited and their hearts were full of anticipation.
Who among the young people in Yangjia Village doesn't want to follow Yang Zhengshan? Not to mention anything else, just look at the dozen or so people who followed Yang Zhengshan at the beginning. Now they are either deputy captains or centurions, and even Yang Mingwu has become a captain.
In the past, they envied Yang Mingwu, Yang Chengze and others. Now that it was their turn, he was naturally full of excitement and anticipation.
"These rooms will be your residence from now on. The beddings in the rooms are all newly bought, and there are clothes in the closets. You can use them as you like!"
"As for meals, I'll have someone bring them to you in the next two days. Once you're familiar with the situation in the fort, you'll have to cook for yourselves!"
"There are many rules in the garrison. You should not enter some places without permission, especially government offices, warehouses, and beacons, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble!"
Yang Mingcheng took them to see the house and explained everything in detail.
"Brother Mingcheng, when can we meet Uncle Zhengshan?" A tall and thin young man couldn't help but interrupt.
This young man is called Yang Mingzhen, he is 25 years old this year, two years younger than Yang Mingwu.
Among the dozen or so Yang family members, he is the oldest.
"Mr. Liang San is here. My father will definitely entertain him today. I guess he won't be able to see you until tomorrow!" Yang Mingcheng said.
"Oh, Brother Mingcheng, can you take us around the garrison?" Yang Mingzhen looked at Yang Mingcheng expectantly.
Yang Zhengshan doesn't have time to see them for the time being, so they won't feel any dissatisfaction in their hearts.
Mr. Liang Sanye is different from them. Mr. Liang Sanye and Yang Zhengshan are relatives. When the relatives come, Yang Zhengshan naturally has to entertain them well.
And they are just Yang Zhengshan's juniors, so it doesn't matter if I meet them later.
Besides, aren’t Yang Mingcheng and Lu Wenchun here?
It's not a disrespect to them.
"can!"
Afterwards, Yang Mingcheng took them on a tour around Yinghe Fort.
In fact, there is nothing good to see in Yinghebao. Whether in scale or prosperity, Yinghebao cannot compare with Anning County.
The only feature is that there are many soldiers in Yinghe Fort.
What they liked to watch most were the soldiers, especially the cavalry, their eyes were full of envy.
"Brother, can we be cavalrymen?" Yang Mingzhen asked.
Yang Mingcheng shook his head and said honestly: "I don't know about this. Where you will be assigned in the future depends on my father's arrangement!"
"But if you want to ride a horse, you can come to me. I have a horse farm at home with many war horses!"
They are all friends who have grown up together. Yang Mingcheng is very happy to see them and wants to take them out for some fun.
However, Yang Mingcheng thought too much.
The next day, Yang Zhengshan took some time to meet these younger generations from the same clan, and then threw them to Yang Qinwu.
Although these people had trained with him before, the training at that time was somewhat makeshift.
Now if they want to join the army and become officers, they must first learn some military skills.
For example, how to read beacons, how to listen to whistles, and the gestures and flags used by scouts to communicate with each other, and riding horses are also basics, they must learn them, as well as military formations and actual combat formations, etc.
In addition to these, they also have to learn to read and write.
Now all the officers under Yang Zhengshan are literate, and Yang Zhengshan has made literacy one of the basic requirements for officer selection.
They still have a lot to learn, and Yang Zhengshan cannot assign them positions right away.
However, training them is much easier than training ordinary soldiers. After all, their foundation is much better.
