Chapter 28 Chapter Two: The Great Harvest of Confinement

In the city, there has been a commotion in the government office for a long time, and the young Yiyang Jiu only thinks it is funny. He walked out of the dark government office and saw the sunlight outside, couldn't help but stretched his waist, stretched happily, and yelled "Mmm". But after stretching, seeing the person who came to pick him up, his whole mood couldn't help but gloomy again. Standing in front of the steps was a handsome young man in fine clothes, wearing a suitable crown, his hair combed straight, and a gentle and refined expression on his face. People who came and went in front of the government office, some of them knew him, bowed their hands to him politely, with a very respectful attitude.

Yi Yangjiu walked down the steps and reluctantly said to him, "Brother." This handsome man is Yi Yangjiu's eldest brother, Yi Yangqing, the eldest son of the family. He looked at Yiyang Jiu with a cold look in his eyes, but before the crowd coming and going, he still said gently: "Jiu brother, I'll pick you up." Meeting this eldest brother, Yiyangjiu is very different. In the eyes of the citizens of Acropolis, Yiyangqing is one of the most outstanding young people in this city. He always has contacts with nobles and monarchs. The outstanding talent most praised by the elders in the city.

Indeed, standing with this elder brother who is perfect in everything, Yi Yangjiu looks both unworthy and wretched. Walking on the road in the Acropolis, many elegantly dressed officials greeted Yi Yangqing one after another. As for Yiyang Jiu, the only ones who would call out to him with strange voices were those punks on the street. Yi Yangjiu silently followed behind Yi Yangqing, watching this handsome young man nodding his head gracefully with people coming and going, but he couldn't help but feel that it would be torture to live such a life. What's more, he is not ignorant of this elder brother's personality. Seeing his gentleness and elegance, he even shakes his head in his heart.

Sure enough, when he reached the less populated alleys, Yi Yangqing put away his gentle smile and looked at him coldly. "I don't know what you're thinking?" His voice was extremely cold, "For the sake of our family's reputation, can't you restrain yourself?" Yiyangjiu didn't argue with him, but just walked silently. "Our Yiyang family is also a prominent figure in the Acropolis. Look at what good things you did in the market? Even I will be disgraced by you." Yi Yangjiu sneered, and said, "What I do, I take responsibility for myself, not to mention that I never play the banner of my family, unlike some people..."

Yi Yang said coldly: "It's not like me, is it?" "I didn't say that, I didn't dare to say it, and I'm not qualified to say it." "You know this, that's the best." Yi Yangqing said in a low voice: "I don't care what daddy thinks, you are an illegitimate child, and you don't know where you came from. , never regarded you as my brother, you know?" Yi Yangjiu snorted disdainfully, but didn't answer. "All in all, you also know that Daddy wants us to treat you as brothers, so you and I will play this scene well, but don't make trouble for me for nothing, and delay my future by causing trouble outside, you know?" Speaking of this, His voice was even more gritted and deep, "If you dare to miss my business, I will never let you go, you know?"

At this time, the huge and extraordinary Yiyang family had arrived. Seeing the two of them coming back, the family members at the door bowed and shouted: "The young master is back." Yi Yangqing changed his face, and then showed a gentle smile again. "There is still Ninth Young Master." He smiled kindly: "Go and report to Master, saying that I brought Ninth Young Master back." With a smile, he gave Yi Yangjiu a glance, then walked slowly to his room, ignoring him. At this time, Yi Yangjiu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was sneered at by this big brother, he didn't feel angry, because he was already used to this kind of treatment, and every time he was bullied by his brothers at home, he didn't bother to reply. , just singing in my heart, praying that this unpleasant conversation would end soon.

Looking at the back of Yiyang Qingyuan, Yiyangjiu couldn't help but let out an "ahha" and happily turned several somersaults on the grass covered with the early spring sun. In the sky above and below, suddenly a family member with fast steps appeared. "Jiu Geer, Jiu Geer, hey." The family shouted loudly: "Master told you to go." Hearing such words, Yi Yang, who had been doing somersaults full of energy, was suddenly discouraged, and his whole body went limp. Because this time, it might not be as easy to solve as big brother Yi Yangqing. This magnificent Yiyang family is the descendant of Yangtongye and Baosi. The current owner, Yiyang Songbai, is the grandson of Yangtonye, ​​and Yiyangjiu and others are the fourth generation of this family.

Back then, after Yang Tongye rescued Bao Si outside the city of Hao Jing, the two left Hao Jing far away in order to avoid disaster, and came to Wei State to hide their names and change their surname to Yi Yang, living the ordinary life they both dreamed of. But Yang Tongye is not an ordinary person after all, he relied on his own plant ability to manage agriculture and business, and soon became one of the richest people in Weiguo. His descendants are also good at dancing, besides being good at making money, He also has close contacts with the royal family of the Wei State. Yang Tongye was just a wandering child in the mountains and forests, but passed down to future generations, but became the most admired family in the Wei State.

And the contemporary head of the Yiyang family is Yiyang Jiu's father, Yiyang Songbai. In good conscience, Yi Yangjiu is quite afraid of his father, not only because of his majesty, but also because of his father's kindness to him. As Yi Yangqing said, Yi Yang Jiu is indeed an illegitimate son. Back then, Yi Yang Songbai went to the far west to do business, and met a foreign woman with blue eyes and deep eyes there, and gave birth to Yi Yang with that woman. sheep nine. Later, Yiyang Songbai brought Yiyang Jiu, who was only two years old, home, and asked his family to raise him as a descendant of the Yiyang family.

However, Yiyang Songbai may be good at doing business, but he doesn't know anything about the child's growth. He only thinks that if he gives an order, his family will obey him, so as long as he continues to instruct his family to treat Yiyang Jiu well , and everyone will do so. But the members of the Yiyang family from top to bottom are hostile to this son with dark blue eyes, red hair, and looks very different from his family. Of course no one dares to do anything wrong in front of Yiyang pines and cypresses, but in private But he was very unfriendly to Yiyangjiu. Yi Yangjiu didn't care about this kind of treatment since he was very young.

His personality is extremely strong and stubborn, and he never wants to show weakness to others. Therefore, since he was a child, he didn't like to stay at home. He would rather hang out with the vagabonds in the city than live an empty life at home. Just because Yiyang Jiu never talked about his suffering, Yiyang Songbai had no way of knowing about it. He only knew that this son was very naughty, and the other children were all educated since childhood. Only this son made a big fuss at the sacrifice ceremony , burned the entire altar to ashes, and usually took it as a routine to go in and out of the government office. Therefore, the two father and son felt very headache when they saw each other. This time when his father summoned him, Yi Yangjiu knew it was going to be bad. Unexpectedly, this time my father didn't lose his temper, he just watched him sighing all the time. "Since the founding of your ancestors in my Yiyang family, there have never been any descendants like you in all generations. Your brothers have all behaved well. Why are you different from others?" Said: "Although the ancestor was born in a poor and humble background, he was also a law-abiding gentleman. Unlike you, who make troubles every day and regard Shangguan Ya as a routine." Yi Yangjiu smiled helplessly and wanted to say something, but felt that what his father said was not wrong. He is often caught in the government office, and it is true that he is not as knowledgeable as other brothers. "My expectations for you are very deep. When your mother passed away, I once asked me to take good care of you." Yiyang Songbai said quietly: "Although I am often busy with other things, I still care about you." , no less than other brothers..." Yi Yangjiu seldom heard his father say such affectionate words, he had a keen sense, knowing that what his father said at this moment was from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't help feeling a surge of heat in his chest. But in an instant, he suddenly wanted to express his grievances and feelings to his father. But... is it useful to speak out? Yiyang Songbai failed to understand the child's thoughts, the gentle affection seemed to be a flash of inspiration, he frowned, and then changed into a strict father's tone. "It's just that you've disappointed me too much. Your elder brother has been asking me to forgive you this time." His voice was a little dry, as if there was a trace of weariness, "He's been dating people in the palace recently, and you're messing around like this , has caused great damage to his reputation, and even with your elder brother's intercession, he still has to be punished this time." Yi Yangjiu sneered secretly in his heart, he knew that this was the most powerful thing about his elder brother Yi Yangqing, he knew that his father had a strong and stubborn personality, the more people interceded, the more severe his punishment would be. This time, this dear elder brother said many "good things" in front of his father. Thinking of the word "good words", Yi Yangjiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart again. Sighs are sighs, but there is still something to say in the scene. "My child knows that I made a mistake." He said in a low voice, "I also ask my father to punish me." Yiyang Songbai nodded. "You know you're wrong, that's fine, but I just don't know if you have the sincerity." He sat back on the chair, pondered for a while, and then said: "I really hope you have a heart of repentance, how about it, I want you to be locked up in the old study room in the back garden for half a month, and you are not allowed to leave the door of the old study room." Yi Yangjiu's eyes widened, feeling a little unbelievable. The old study in the back garden is a place where sundries have been piled up for decades. It is so dusty that no one even wants to go to it. And with his restlessness, locking him in a small room for half a month would kill him. Seeing his flickering expression, Yiyang Songbai said sharply: "What? Not satisfied?" He gave Yiyangjiu a look, "Then close it for three months." Yi Yangjiu hurriedly said, "It's fine for half a month, it's fine for half a month..." Yiyang Songbai looked at him meaningfully, walked over, and patted him on the shoulder affectionately, which is rare. "I imprison you this time because I hope you can reflect on yourself. This is also the last time I will punish you." After saying this, Yiyang Songbai was also stunned for a while, and then said: "If you want to commit another crime in the future, there is nothing I can do. In short, you can do it yourself." Yi Yangjiu looked at his father, knowing that this was the case and it was irreversible, so he nodded. Yi Yangjiu walked back to his room, didn't pack anything, and followed the old family to the back garden. The old family opened the old study, and a large cloud of dust fell on his head as soon as he opened the door. body, making him choke. Generally speaking, if you want Yiyangjiu to go to this room for confinement, the family members should send someone to clean it first, but because Yiyangjiu is not favored at home, the lazy family members will save this trouble. Seeing the old man choking and coughing in a panic, Yi Yangjiu couldn't help laughing. The old man glared at him, patted the dust, then stood aside, beckoning him to go in by himself. With a "bang", the door of the old study closed heavily, shutting out the sunshine and freedom. Hearing the door of the old family "squeaking" locked, Yi Yangjiu knew that he was destined to be locked up here for half a month, so he sighed and rested his arm on his head contentedly, and found a piece that was not too bad. Lying down on the dusty ground, he fell asleep soundly.
