Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 290: Chapter 281: The Shadow of a Person’s Name, the Reflection of a Tree

“Haha, we’re family; no need for thanks!”

Yang Zhenshan patted his shoulder and said with a smile, “You should start preparing to go back. In a few days, you’ll be returning to Anning County!”

The month of December was fast approaching, and it was about time for Yang Mingcheng to pay a visit back home.

This year, there had been fewer affairs to handle, and Yang Zhenshan planned to have Yang Mingcheng, Yang Mingzhi, and Jiang He go back together.

As for himself, he’d rather not return.

He didn’t feel a strong sense of belonging to Yang Family Village, and although it was always on his mind, it wasn’t really his true hometown.

Besides, if he went back, it would probably cause quite a stir, inevitably leading to endless social engagements.

The last thing he enjoyed was such interactions, so it would be better not to go back.

“Alright, I’ll have my family start preparing in the next couple of days!” said Luo Wenhua.

He wasn’t going to return alone but would bring his wife and children along. Since they were going to stay for a while, they definitely needed to make comprehensive preparations.

In the following days, Yang Zhenshan was still busy with matters within the government office. However, there wasn’t much to do at the Guardian Department now, so he enjoyed some rare leisure time.

On ordinary days, he would just stay at home, play with his wife and kids, leading a rather comfortable life.

Of course, he did not neglect important matters. The Tenglong Guard was planning a big campaign next year, and there was still much to prepare before the year’s end.

But these were things he could delegate with instructions, without having to handle them personally.

While Yang Zhenshan enjoyed his downtime, deep in the Changqing Mountain, atop a towering peak, a few people were discussing him.

In the Da Rong Dynasty, the court had different approaches to dealing with Jianghu forces. The court was usually gentle towards those sects willing to cooperate and allow their disciples to join the army.
