Chapter 166: Two in Three Years, Three in Five Years

And after he left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Yang Zhengshan didn't need to say anything about this matter, as they had already prepared themselves mentally.

Yu Qingyi has lived in the Yang family for such a long time, and Yang Zhengshan has been having dinner with Yu Qingyi alone recently. How could they not guess what Yang Zhengshan is thinking?

Speaking of which, they also felt uncomfortable with Yu Qingyi, who had no name or status.

Now, Yang Zhengshan wants to marry Yu Qingyi. Yu Qingyi has a status, and there are rules for how they should get along with Yu Qingyi in the future.

A stepmother is also a mother, and they should also respectfully call her mother.

When I see Yu Qingyi again next time, we may not be too close, but it won’t be as awkward as before.

……

In the west room, Yu Qingyi was sitting on the Luohan bed, nervously clutching her handkerchief.

Seeing Yang Zhengshan walk in, Yu Qingyi immediately stood up nervously.

"Do they agree?"

Yang Zhengshan laughed, "Do they dare to disagree?"

He is not the head of the family for nothing.

Although Yang Zhengshan just asked everyone if they had any opinions, he was actually just informing everyone.

With filial piety being the most important thing, would Yang Mingcheng and Yang Minghao dare to say no?

"Don't worry, they will accept you!" Yang Zhengshan stepped forward and held Yu Qingyi's hand.

The three sons and two daughters of the Yang family are not the kind of people with vicious minds. Even Yang Mingzhi, the most scheming one, has no bad intentions towards his family members.

This is also what Yang Zhengshan is most satisfied with.

Yu Qingyi is also a kind woman, and Yang Zhengshan believes that they will become a real family.

"Yeah!" Yu Qingyi responded and leaned lightly against Yang Zhengshan.

This was the first time she had done such an intimate thing to Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan couldn't help feeling distracted when he smelled the fragrance emanating from her.

In order to avoid turning into a beast, Yang Zhengshan had to break this warmth.

"Would you like to send a letter back first?"

"Is it okay?" Yu Qingyi raised her head, her pretty face slightly flushed.

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said, "Of course, just write it and I'll have someone deliver it tomorrow!"

Yu Qingyi stood up and walked to the desk and spread out the paper. Yang Zhengshan personally ground the ink for her.

In the flickering candlelight, Yang Zhengshan quietly looked at her face which was always blushing.

……

The next day, Yang Zhengshan hired two escorts to deliver Yu Qingyi's letter out of Anyuan City.

For such matters, it is natural to notify the other party in advance so that they can prepare in advance.

After sending the letter, Yang Zhengshan started to make arrangements to propose marriage.

Wang went to find the best matchmaker in the city. Originally, the matchmaker was unwilling to go to the Tianqing Sword Sect because the Tianqing Sword Sect was located a hundred miles south of Anyuan City, close to Yuanhe County.

The matchmaker's business scope is limited to Anyuan City. Asking her to travel hundreds of miles to propose marriage to a martial arts sect sounds a bit unreliable.

That’s a martial arts sect!

Ordinary people have always kept their distance from martial artists, and even if they meet them on the road, they will avoid them from afar.

Heroes use force to break the law. Many martial artists in the martial arts world are proud of their martial arts skills and treat ordinary people harshly, and even bully them.

Therefore, in the minds of ordinary people, martial artists are similar to street thugs, and are even more terrifying than street thugs.

The business that a matchmaker is most reluctant to take is dealing with martial artists, not to mention having to travel hundreds of miles away.

However, when Wang took out a silver ingot weighing ten taels, the matchmaker took the job with a smile.

When she heard that this was a proposal for the garrison commander, the matchmaker smiled so sweetly that it seemed as if she wanted to worship Wang as a bodhisattva.

Wang had taken care of the matchmaking matter, while Yang Zhengshan was preparing the wedding ceremony.

He wanted to marry Yu Qingyi in a grand ceremony, so the selection ceremony could not be shabby.

More than thirty kinds of gifts were prepared, but Yang Zhengshan still felt unsatisfied.

In the warehouse, Yang Zhengshan looked at the prepared gifts and frowned slightly.

A gift worth nearly a thousand taels of silver was already considered valuable, but Yang Zhengshan felt that there was still a valuable gift missing.

The gifts in front of me are all ordinary things. Although they are valuable, they are not amazing enough.

"Wu Hai, what kind of gift do you think the Tianqing Sword Sect would like?" Yang Zhengshan couldn't think of anything that could impress the four elders of the Tianqing Sword Sect.

Yu Qingyi said that her four uncles were all old-fashioned.

If Yang Zhengshan wants them to willingly marry Yu Qingyi, he has to put in some effort.

Not only are all kinds of etiquette necessary, they must also be eye-catching.

"Master, I don't know much about the martial arts sects, but the things that warriors like most are nothing more than those, magical skills, magic weapons, and precious medicines!" Wu Hai said.

"..."

Yang Zhengshan looked at him speechlessly, "Your master likes these too!"

To be called a magical skill or secret technique, it must at least be a skill at the innate realm.

His gilded flying fish spear is not a magical weapon, it can only be regarded as a good spear. The gilded flying fish spear is the standard weapon of the court. The same goes for the gold-backed flying fish knife, the gold-inlaid flying fish sword, etc. These are all used by the court to reward meritorious officials.

Therefore, the Gilded Flying Fish Spear is considered a valuable item, but it is definitely not a magical weapon.

As for precious medicines, they are even more rare. In the whole Chongshan Town, only Chongshanguan Treasure Medicine Pavilion has precious medicines, and there are only a few of them. They are regarded as the treasures of the town shop and have not been sold for several years. Wu Hai is a little too fond of his master. These three things are things that Yang Zhengshan can't get.

Wu Hai smiled awkwardly. He even felt that what he said had touched Yang Zhengshan's heart.

"How about adding a few more horses?"

Yang Zhengshan's eyes lit up. This was a good idea.

Although the new horse farm has not been built yet, the Yang family still has a lot of good horses. They were all brought by Yang Zhengshan when he came to Anyuan City and have been raised in the Yang family's backyard.

There are not many of them, only ten. They are raised with great care by Yang Zhengshan, and their treatment is only slightly worse than Hong Yun's.

The key is that these ten horses are not very old.

It is young, has a good foundation, and is nourished by the spiritual spring water. Although it is not as good as some thousand-mile BMWs, it is also a rare and high-quality horse.

"Add four more horses!"

"Hey, I feel so sorry for your master!"

Yang Zhengshan was a little conflicted.

If these four carefully bred horses were sold, they would fetch at least a thousand taels of silver.

Yang Zhengshan felt sad to see it being given away like this.

However, it is worth spending some money to marry a wife.

What's more, he also wanted to win over the Tianqing Sword Sect and make the disciples of the Tianqing Sword Sect work for him.

"That's it! You get ready and we'll set off the day after tomorrow." Yang Zhengshan said.

"Yes!"

Wu Hai responded.

Yang Zhengshan turned and walked out of the warehouse, just in time to run into Yang Mingcheng.

"Is something wrong?"

"Dad, Mingzhi has sent a letter!" Yang Mingcheng handed a letter to Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Mingzhi often wrote letters to his family while in Songzhouwei, especially during the Chinese New Year, when he would send people to bring back a lot of things.

Yang Zhengshan opened the letter and began to read.

The letter contained a lot of content. First, it expressed concern and longing for Yang Zhengshan, and then talked about the situation of Jianning Wei.

Last year, Zhou Lan focused his main energy on the training of soldiers within Jianning Guard and the cleaning up of officials under the General's Office. This year, Zhou Lan focused on the training of soldiers in Tunbu and the development of Tunbu.

Zhou Lan is a very pragmatic person. Military training has always been her main goal. With the help of Yang Zhengshan, she also has a complete set of rules for military training.

As for the development of garrisons, she had the example of Yinghebao, as well as the help of Yang Mingwu, Yang Mingzhi, Yang Chengze and others. In addition, Yang Zhengshan had always told her the importance of improving the living standards of military households.

So this year she plans to renovate all the garrisons under her jurisdiction in the same way as Yinghe Fort.

This point is exactly what Yang Zhengshan thought.

Finally, Yang Mingzhi told Yang Zhengshan another good news.

Li is pregnant again!
It is said that Li just gave birth to Chengxian last year, and she is pregnant again this year. It seems like she will have two children in three years and three children in five years.

Yang Zhengshan counted on his fingers. Including Jiang Ning and Jiang Miao, he already had six grandchildren and great-grandchildren. If he added one more, there would be seven Calabash Brothers in total.

But don't forget, there is Liang at home who is ready for battle. If there are no other problems, Liang should be pregnant this year.

Well, there is also the Wang family. The eldest son and his wife seem to have not had a baby for three years.

Thinking of holding a baby, Yang Zhengshan's eyes suddenly lit up.

If they get married this year, will he and Yu Qingyi be able to have a baby next year?
This is my biological son!

He should be considered as his biological son. Although the body is not his original body, he does the work and he found his wife himself.

Can we also have two children in three years, or three children in five years?

Thinking of the children, Yang Zhengshan's heart became even hotter.

In his previous life, he had never thought about having children, and even thought that children were a hassle.

But now he really wants a child, well, a son.

However, if you want to have a child, you must first marry a wife.

"Well, tell Mingzhi about what's going on at home!" Yang Zhengshan handed the letter to Yang Mingcheng and said casually.

He wanted to marry a stepmother for Yang Mingzhi, so he had to tell Yang Mingzhi.

"Ok!"

……

Tianqing Mountain, Tianqing Sword Sect.

The sword school is located on the southern slope of Tianqing Mountain, surrounded by undulating mountains. In early spring, wisps of green bloom and expand among the mountains, giving the entire forest new vitality.

The Tianqing Sword Sect is neither majestic nor luxurious. From a distance, it looks like an ordinary village.

In front of the village stands a two-meter-high gatehouse with the four large characters "Tianqing Sword Sect" inscribed on it. Leading into the sword sect along the meter-wide road, there is a gentle staircase made of bluestone that extends from the mountain to the middle of the mountain.

On both sides of the bluestone steps are very ordinary courtyards, until halfway up the mountain there is a wide hillside and a few slightly taller brick houses.

There are some buildings such as stables and warehouses around the hill.

At this time, the four elders of the Tianqing Sword Sect were gathered in the main hall.

The first elder is Su Kun, the second elder is Cao De, the third elder is Xue Linfu, and the fourth elder is Hua Jinqiu.

There were more than ten disciples in the previous generation of Tianqing Sword Sect, among whom Yu Qingyi’s master was the eldest senior brother, and these four elders were all Yu Qingyi’s master’s younger brothers and sisters.

The rest either died, left the Tianqing Sword Sect, or were unable to become elders due to insufficient cultivation.
