Chapter 256
After entering the house and returning to the main courtyard, the family talked for a long time. After dinner, everyone dispersed.
After the noisy little guys left, Yang Zhengshan felt a little quiet.
"Wanting was very quiet before, why is she so noisy now?" Yang Zhengshan helped Yu Qingyi into the inner room.
"The little girl was probably shy before, but now she is familiar with it and she is lively!" Yu Qingyi giggled.
Yang Zhengshan helped Yu Qingyi sit on the Luohan bed and reached out to touch her bulging belly.
"This kid is coming out soon!"
"Yes, it will come out in two months!" Yu Qingyi's eyebrows were full of tenderness.
Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but feel itchy when he saw her like this.
"By the way, you haven't named your grandson yet!" Yu Qingyi said.
"Didn't you name Minghao?" Yang Zhengshan was surprised.
Yu Qingyi smiled and said, "He said this is his eldest son, and he will wait for you to come back to name him!"
Yang Zhengshan had a headache. Naming is a brain-twisting job, especially since the Yang family has so many grandchildren and the Yang family has so many peers. It is not easy to give a name that is not duplicated in the family.
Yang Zhengshan thought hard for a long time and said, "Chengyou!"
"Well, it's a good name!" Yu Qingyi smiled.
Yang Zhengshan sat next to her, and his big hands unconsciously went up.
"What are you doing!" Yu Qingyi slapped his restless hands away in shame and anger.
Yang Zhengshan coughed awkwardly. He went home and saw his wife. What else could he do?
"I'm still pregnant!"
Yu Qingyi looked at him helplessly, "Why don't you take Qingxia and Hongyun into the room!"
This Hongyun is not a horse, but a maid next to Yu Qingyi.
Qingxia and Hongyun are not young now. They are both twenty-two or twenty-three years old, and they are also old girls.
"Don't think too much, Master, I don't have the idea of taking a concubine!"
"They are not young anymore!" Yu Qingyi said softly.
Women are contradictory. Sometimes women are jealous, and sometimes they are too kind.
Yu Qingyi doesn't want Yang Zhengshan to take a concubine, but she also wants to give Qingxia and Hongyun a good home.
"They are not young anymore, so find someone to marry them! If the ones at home are not okay, the guards around me can also be good guys. When the time comes, just exchange their indentures for them!" Yang Zhengshan really didn't have the idea of taking a concubine. Although Qingxia and Hongyun were both good-looking, he never thought of taking them in.
It's not that he is loyal and not lustful, but he has his own principles and bottom line.
If you want a peaceful home, don't take a concubine.
He must abide by the house rules he set.
"Is this appropriate?" Yu Qingyi asked.
"What's inappropriate? As long as they are willing, and even if they get married, they can stay in the mansion to serve you!" Yang Zhengshan said indifferently, and his hand climbed up the mountain again involuntarily.
"You!" Yu Qingyi was helpless and embarrassed.
Yang Zhengshan smiled and whispered a few words in her ear.
Before he finished speaking, Yu Qingyi's cheeks were red.
"You old frivolous man!"
"We are an old couple, what is there to be shy about!"
Yang Zhengshan was really old and frivolous. He pulled Yu Qingyi to the bed.
The curtain was lowered, and the sound of rustling came from inside the curtain.
...
August 3rd.
Since early morning, there were dense crowds of people outside Anyuan City to attend the funeral.
White flags were like forests, and the sky was filled with wailing. Thousands of people in mourning went from Chengguanbao all the way to Shili Mountain in the east of the city to see him off.
The desolate sound of suona went straight to the sky, and the fluttering paper money covered the road.
Yang Zhengshan wore sackcloth and personally carried the coffin in front, and almost all the people in the city ran out.
The soldiers of the garrison camp were all from the military households of various garrisons. Each soldier had a family behind him, and each family had a wife, children and the elderly.
Needless to say, the pain of losing a loved one, Yang Zhengshan could not comfort this pain. All he could do was to send the heroic souls who died in battle on their last journey, distribute the pension in full to their families, and then try his best to seek some benefits for them to ensure that their families could live a stable life in the future.
The funeral lasted a whole day, until the sky was dark, Yang Zhengshan and the soldiers sent the families away one by one.
The next afternoon, a long team came from Jiacheng, with dozens of carriages, three hundred cows, and eight hundred sheep. These were the spoils of the garrison camp.
At the beginning of the expedition, Yang Zhengshan would distribute gold and silver to the soldiers, but as they conquered more and more tribes, Yang Zhengshan gave up the move of distributing money on the spot.
There was no way, gold and silver were also very heavy, twenty or thirty taels of silver were fine, but if each soldier was given hundreds of taels to carry on his body, it would affect their fighting.
So later, Yang Zhengshan handed all of them to Wang Sheng.
After Wang Sheng handed over the things, it was naturally not as much as the money on the spot. This was not because Wang Sheng was greedy for their money, but after the things were transported back to Jiacheng, the room for operation would be much smaller, and some rules still had to be followed.
However, even so, the garrison camp still got a lot of spoils.
There were 28,000 taels of silver in the dozens of taels of carriages. After the silver money came to Yang Zhengshan, Yang Zhengshan did not hesitate at all and directly distributed 20 taels to each soldier who went to the expedition as their reward. Finally, the remaining 5,000 taels went into the account room of the garrison officer's office.
Three hundred cows were distributed to the garrison for use as oxen for farming.
Eight hundred sheep, one for each family of the fallen soldiers, and the rest were killed and divided for meat.
After this distribution, the soldiers in the garrison camp all made a small fortune.
Each soldier had at least fifty taels of income, and the families of the fallen soldiers received nearly one hundred taels of silver and items.
These spoils belonged to the garrison office and the garrison camp, and were distributed by the shogunate of the lieutenant general. They were listed in the court and were considered legal income.
In addition to these legal incomes, Wang Bin did not forget Yang Zhengshan's share.
On the same day, the Yang family's horse farm received three hundred adult horses and five hundred foals, as well as two hundred cows and five hundred sheep, as well as more than a thousand pieces of fur, hundreds of martial arts skills, more than a hundred gems of various types, and a large box of precious medicinal materials, including two precious medicinal plants.
At that time, Yang Zhengshan was not surprised. He knew that Wang Bin would definitely not miss his share, but the two precious medicines surprised Yang Zhengshan.
Where did these precious medicines come from?
Yang Zhengshan thought about it and didn't think about where these precious medicines came from.
This is normal. Although they have conquered many tribes, they did not sort out the spoils because they were in a hurry. To be honest, he didn't know how much spoils they had harvested this time.
Since Wang Bin gave it to him, he would keep it.
"Dad, I will put these two precious medicines in the warehouse for you first!"
In the main hall of the Yang family, Yang Mingcheng put away the brocade box containing the precious medicines and said.
Yang Zhengshan looked at the two precious medicines, one was a hundred-year-old ginseng, and the other was a Baise flower.
Baise flower is an evergreen shrub plant that looks similar to a rose. It blooms once a year. At first, the flower has only four petals, but then it adds one petal every year. The color of each petal is different, so it is named Baise flower.
However, the Baise flower in front of me has only 24 petals, which means it has only grown for 21 years.
Well, there is only one flower. A Baise flower usually has four to six flowers.
The effect of Baise flower is to activate blood circulation, nourish the skin, and promote qi circulation.
It can activate blood circulation and relieve fatigue, which has a miraculous effect on martial artists in the body-building realm. It can enhance the circulation of qi and blood in the body and improve the efficiency of cultivation.
It is said that a hundred-year-old Baise flower can make people look young, but twenty years of it should not have such an effect.
As for qi circulation, the qi here refers to the vigorous qi. For acquired martial artists, the vigorous qi is the foundation. Baise flower can speed up the circulation of vigorous qi, allowing acquired martial artists to more clearly perceive the trajectory of the movement of vigorous qi and other situations, which helps acquired martial artists improve their control over vigorous qi.
Yang Zhengshan reached out and picked up the Baise flower, feeling a little regretful.
This Baise flower has lost its vitality, otherwise he could have transplanted it into the Lingquan space.
"Take the ginseng and make soup! I'll share it with everyone in the evening!"
It's just a hundred-year-old ginseng. What Yang Zhengshan lacks the least now is ginseng. Although none of his ginseng is a hundred-year-old ginseng, in terms of efficacy, the ginseng in the Lingquan space has what the hundred-year-old ginseng has, but the strength is not as good as the hundred-year-old ginseng.
Strength can be accumulated by quantity. He often takes out ginseng to make soup for the cook at home, so this hundred-year-old ginseng is the least rare for him.
Among the precious medicines, the hundred-year-old ginseng is also a panacea. It can strengthen the body, cure diseases and save people, calm the mind and settle the soul, etc. It has many effects, but precisely because ginseng has many effects, there is no effect that is particularly outstanding.
For example, the Baise flower has the effect of moving qi, and ginseng also has such an effect, but it is not obvious, and it cannot allow warriors to more clearly perceive the trajectory of the internal energy, which also makes this effect of ginseng a dispensable chicken rib.
Therefore, among the many precious medicines, the price of 100-year-old life is in the lower middle range, and in the north of Darong, 100-year-old ginseng is also the most common precious medicine.
Yang Mingcheng responded and left with ginseng in his arms. Yu Qingyi, who was standing beside him, looked at the Baise flower with some surprise, "This is the Baise flower! I didn't expect the legend to be true. The Baise flower really has many colors!"
Baise flowers are very rare. Not to mention ordinary people, even post-natal warriors have rarely seen them. They just heard some rumors from hearsay.
"Well, you keep it. Don't use it now. Use it after the baby is born!"
Yang Zhengshan handed the Baise flower to Yu Qingyi without any care.
This thing has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin, and it is most attractive to women.
Sure enough, Yu Qingyi's eyes lit up when she heard Yang Zhengshan say this.
"Give it to me!"
She looked at Yang Zhengshan in surprise.
"Of course, you are my wife, who else can I give it to if not you!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.
Yu Qingyi blinked, and the joy between her eyebrows was about to bubble.
But she thought about it and said, "Forget it. This thing has a miraculous effect on acquired warriors, but it doesn't work well for us. It's more suitable for Mingcheng and the others!"
No woman doesn't care about her appearance, but compared to beauty and skin care, the best effect of Baise Flower is to enhance the control of the acquired warriors' energy.
If we consider it from the perspective of maximizing benefits, it is undoubtedly the best to give it to Yang Mingcheng and his three brothers. Their cultivation is now most suitable for using Baise Flower.
Yang Zhengshan shook his head slightly and smiled, "You keep it, they can't use it!"
The effect of Baise Flower is very good, but the people of the Yang family are nourished by the spiritual spring water, so they don't need any precious medicine at all.
In fact, even if it is given to Yu Qingyi, it is meaningless. Although the spiritual spring water does not have the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin, it can make the body younger by strengthening the physique and improving the potential.
Just like Yang Zhengshan's full head of black hair now, it is because of the nourishment of the spiritual spring water.
Seeing that Yang Zhengshan insisted, Yu Qingyi did not refuse anymore and happily put away the Baise flower.
In any case, she still likes the Baise flower very much, and wants the effect of Baise flower for beauty and nourishing the skin. Since Yang Zhengshan is determined to give it to her, there is no need for her to keep refusing.
