Chapter 303: Late Winter

Mrs. Zhu was in the boudoir, and before marrying Zhu Shilang, Zhu Shilang was just a seven-grade petty official, so Mrs. Zhu was originally just the daughter of an ordinary official's family. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

If it weren't for the fact that Zhu Shilang took advantage of his great luck again and again to rise to the top, then she would not have had the opportunity to contact a noble lady like Liang Ji.

It seems that when she went to see the Shen family just now, if Zhu Shilang hadn't given her a death order in advance, she would have to go to the Shen family to say goodbye, and then take the opportunity to pull Liang Ji away, then Mrs. Zhu would most likely never get close to the Shen family.

After all, a person like the Shen family, even if Mrs. Zhu has been immersed in this circle for many years, she is still a person who does not dare to approach rashly, and just now, that was Mrs. Zhu's first time.

For the first time, they were so close to this kind of person who could easily control their family's life.

But Mrs. Zhu's heart palpitations caused by this have not yet calmed down, but she was then questioned by Liang Ji.

But at this time, how could Mrs. Zhu stand such a question, so she was choked and speechless.

But Liang Ji wouldn't let her go like this, "How much silver has my uncle embezzled in the Ministry of Industry in the past two years, I don't think I need to say that you also know, if it weren't for His Highness's mercy to take out money to help him fill this hole, then presumably at this time, my uncle of the Ministry of Industry Squire has already been beheaded in prison, and you and your children must have been reduced to slavery, right?" ”

Liang Ji said something that was not light or serious, every time she said a word, Mrs. Zhu's face was a little different, but Liang Ji didn't want to stop at all at this time.

"If that's the case, then I don't need to say anything more, 'aunt' you can also know what your ending will be, right? How miserable is the fate of the official slave, do you still need someone to tell you in detail? ”

Liang Ji looked at Mrs. Zhu with a sneer.

But Mrs. Zhu's face was already pale at this time, and there was no blood at all.

"Second Miss, our lord is loyal to His Royal Highness Qi Yu and you, and he doesn't dare to be rebellious at all, please believe in our lord!" Mrs. Zhu was in a mess in the end, and could only say to Liang Ji close to pleading.

"Loyal?" But the smile on Liang Ji's face suddenly became even colder, "If this letter hadn't been delivered to me, then I might still believe what you said, but at this time, you still have the face to say such things?" 'Auntie', I really admire you. ”

The jade notes in Liang Ji's hand, under the warm orange light at this time, made Mrs. Dezhu almost heartbroken.

She didn't expect this letter that her master asked her to hand over tonight.

Could it have become their own talisman?

Mrs. Zhu's mood at this time is really complicated to the extreme.

But what's even more tragic is that she still doesn't dare to have any dissatisfaction with the initiator.

Because the lives of their whole family, just like the girl in front of them who is as hard as Qi Yu said, the lives of their whole family are now in the hands of Qi Yu, because of Zhu Shilang's handle, so as long as Qi Yu says a word, then the lives of all the people in their whole clan, whether they live or die, it depends on his mood.

In the face of Qi Yu, who has such a power of life and death in his hands, how dare Mrs. Zhu confront Liang Ji, whom he loves?

What's more, what Liang Ji said at this time hit Mrs. Zhu's key point, making her dare not speak, but at this time, Yin An suddenly came from a distance, and leaned into Liang Ji's ear and whispered a few words, Liang Ji frowned suddenly.

"How can it be so fast?"

"I don't know, the people who were sent to follow before came back to report, saying that they had been stopped by the people of the British Prince's Mansion halfway through, saying that the front was a forbidden area, and idlers could not trespass, so I don't know where the eldest lady and the third lady went with the third and fourth masters, who they met, or what plans they had." Yin An whispered to Liang Ji.

"Hmph, two days ago, I still looked incompatible with the little overlord of the Tang family, but now in the blink of an eye, it is unimpeded in the British Palace? My third sister is really a good means. ”

Liang Ji

Her face gradually became ugly, compared to just now, it was even colder, and Mrs. Zhu was both surprised and frightened, I don't know who could make Liang Ji angry like this, but I was afraid that it would affect myself and my master.

Therefore, at this time, Mrs. Zhu could only try her best to clamp her tail, wishing that she could be invisible and not be noticed by Liang Ji.

"Auntie."

But this is obviously impossible, Mrs. Zhu, who was panicking, only heard Liang Ji suddenly say to her: "You go back and tell my uncle, if you let me know next time, and he asks His Highness to give him benefits in my name, then let him wait for himself to suffer the capital crime of embezzlement of public salaries." Next time, he won't be so lucky, and what niece will help him find such a big backer. ”

Liang Ji looked at Mrs. Zhu, and after saying this with a sneer, she turned around and left.

And when only Mrs. Zhu and her henchmen were left by this small pool, she finally collapsed to the ground.

"Madame, ma'am, are you alright, ma'am........."

The squirming whisper sounded behind Liang Ji and his party, but no matter how panicked and overwhelmed the whisper was, it couldn't make Liang Ji look back softly.

On the contrary, Yin An, who was beside her at this time, said a little uneasily: "Miss, do you want to send someone to take a look at the back, if Mrs. Uncle makes a mistake at this time, you can't explain it to Mrs. Miss." ”

But Liang Ji snorted coldly and said with a smile: "What could be wrong with her?" It's just that I'm too small, I haven't seen any big scenes, my 'uncle' is also confused, and in the officialdom, he has climbed all the way from a seventh-grade petty official to a fourth-grade senior official, but he is so unclear about family affairs, and he has reached this position, so he didn't hurry up and try to divorce this woman who was not helpful to him, and chose a person who was the right person for him now, so as to help him cross the watershed and go to the next level. He also didn't want to think about it, how big is the difference between the fourth grade and the fourth grade? ”

In Xiyin, Cong Sipin is a waiter, and Zheng Sipin is Shangshu.

The difference between the ranks of this half-grade is like a moat here, one is the deputy of the chief, and the other is the chief of the other.

Moreover, this adjutant is in the six departments, but each department can appoint several names.

But there are also big and small rights.

The various battles among the adjutants are not inferior to any of the other court battles.

How difficult it is to survive here, even a boudoir woman like Liang Ji knows, not to mention how cruel it is, but Zhu Shilang would rather be so hard in the Ministry of Industry and several other squires who are also adjutants to fight each other.

Even at the expense of embezzling a huge amount of public salary to bribe his boss, he did not think that he would try to divorce his original partner, so as to marry a widow from the door of the noble family, or marry the daughter of the divorced family, so that with the assistance of the wife's family, he could cross the watershed in one go, and from then on he really embarked on the road of prosperity, and he could also be officially included in the high-ranking officials and nobles.

And to talk about such a simple path to nobility, Zhu Shilang couldn't think of it, then Liang Ji would never believe it, after all, he was also a capable person.

But he is such a capable person, but he didn't take the simple and safe road, but chose such the most difficult and rugged road, why is the reason for this, Liang Ji really doesn't understand.

But she doesn't want to understand it, after all, there is such a "stupid person" with obvious shortcomings to do things for her, it is better than a person who has no weaknesses and is cunning and abnormal, right?

And for Qi Yu, the little cheap that her "uncle" was greedy for was harmless at all, and he specially wrote about it in the letter, I'm afraid he was just worried that she wouldn't be able to control her uncle.

But now that she has this handle, won't she be more handy in the future?

Thinking of this, the big stone that was still blocked in my heart suddenly put it down,

Pieces of goose-feather-like snow are falling, and at this time, in Liang Ji's eyes, it is also a beautiful scenery that can be enjoyed.

The snow is already getting heavier and heavier at this time, and the time is not early, so everyone in the British King's Mansion began to say goodbye gradually, including Shen and Liang Cheng and their party.

However, because the King of England, Liang Sixuan, and Fu Xiang still had political affairs to discuss, when the Shen family left, there was no Liang Sixuan, so Liang Xian and Liang Yi naturally did.

Both of them had to stay in the British King's Mansion and wait for Liang Sixuan, and only after he finished discussing with the British King could they accompany Liang Sixuan back to the house.

In this way, when Liang Cheng and the others went back, they were no different from when they came.

And there is no need to go all the way with Liang Xian and Liang Yi, this is the happiest thing for Liang Cheng and Liang Yong.

However, in this, Liang Cheng felt that Liang Xian and Liang Yi were difficult to deal with, and it was too tiring to get along with them.

But as for Liang Yong, it is simply like a rabbit dodging an eagle, and for their two eldest brother and second brother, Liang Yong's fear doesn't know why, it seems that he was born like this.

For this reason, Liang Cheng has started to have a headache recently.

If it is understandable to say that it is okay to hate a person, but it is not good to be afraid of a person, especially when this mood also appears on Liang Yong, it is even worse.

Liang Yongnai is the only son-in-law of the Liang family in the Zhendong General's Mansion, and he is also the son of the Liang family's generation.

And the other party turned out to be Liang Xian and Liang Yi?

Liang Cheng now has a headache when she thinks about this matter, but she doesn't have a good solution to this matter at this time. After all, Liang Yong is still a child, for a child who has just turned six years old this year, it is difficult for Liang Yong to grasp what he wants to do.

Therefore, Liang Cheng has a tricky feeling now, and there is no way to start at all.

I looked at the little person next to me who was so happy that I heard that I didn't have to go back with Liang Xian and Liang Yi, and Liang Cheng really didn't know whether to be angry or laugh for a while.

"Yong'er, sit down, be careful if you fall for a while, you will hurt." Pulling down the little tiger who was dancing in the carriage, Liang Cheng reached out and rubbed her eyebrows and said to Liang Yong.

"No, sister, Yong'er won't wrestle."

But Liang Yong was really happy at this time, after all, when he heard that Shen asked Lianqin to go to the front and say to Liang Sixuan, Liang Xian and others that he was leaving, and let them go to the second gate to meet, he was really worried for a while.

But who knows, in the end, it won't be used again? My father has something to continue to consult with His Royal Highness, so let them go home first?

This huge contrast in mood, even if a little tiger doesn't want to be so happy, it's very difficult.

Therefore, Liang Yong at this time was really extremely happy, even if he was pulled to his side by Liang Cheng and could no longer dance, he still smiled and bent his eyes.

Those big eyes that sparkle like crystals on a normal day.

At this time, when it fell into Liang Cheng's eyes, it was as dazzling as a pair of stars in the night.

It seems that Yong'er is really happy! Liang Cheng, who was still a little depressed, suddenly seemed to be infected by the joy in Liang Yong's eyes at this time, and her mood suddenly became cheerful, she looked at Liang Yong, and suddenly smiled: "Yong'er, naturally you are so happy, then I must wait for a while to return to the house, when you want to make up for the homework you missed today, it is definitely not a difficult thing, right?" ”

A delicate and handsome little face suddenly froze like a stone carving, and the speed of change was so fast that it directly made Liang Cheng laugh out loud.

"Sister!"

Just inside the first brocade feather silk tassel durian silk cart behind Shen's carriage, the laughter like silver bells and the crisp children's voices suddenly spread far away, as far as the Shen family, who was taking a nap in front, gradually bent a touch of moon fox on his lips, and he was so amazed that he forgot to speak for a while.

And some people were laughing and laughing along the way, while some people were cold-faced, but anyway, at the end of the day, Shen and Liang Cheng and his party finally returned to the Zhendong General's Mansion.

"You're all tired this night, so go back to the hospital to rest now."

"Yes, Mother." And as soon as everyone boarded the carriage, Shen immediately gave such an order, and without waiting for Liang Wan and Liang Ji to speak, they turned around and left, but Liang Cheng and Liang Yong were naturally exceptions.

After Shen turned to leave, she took Liang Yongye and trotted and followed, until the moment before Shen took the soft sedan chair, Liang Cheng and the others also squeezed into another Cheng at the same time, and directly followed their mother to the bank of Nanlan River.

"What are you two doing at such a late hour?" On the bank of Nanlan Creek, Shen looked at the two little tails behind him helplessly.

"Mother, we are here to serve you to rest." Liang Cheng and Liang Yong replied in unison.

"I'm glad you have this heart, but no." Shen Shi didn't eat this at all, and looked at the two people in front of him, one big and one small, and he was a little unsure of what the hell these two eccentrics were going to do again.

"Oh, mother, let's go, let's go, serve my parents, this is the responsibility of children, mother, don't be polite to us."

Liang Cheng's body has been weak since she was a child, and the strength in her hands is not great at all.

Liang Yong is only six years old this year, and he is still a child at all, if the Shen family wants to get rid of them, it will be an easy thing.

But it was precisely because of Liang Yong's weakness and Liang Yong's still a child, so even if the Shen family didn't want to pay attention to these two little troublemakers, he didn't try to get rid of them at all.

On the contrary, she was a little speechless and let the two of them pull her into the house, and then began to order the maids and mothers-in-law to boil water and make the bed, just when the Shen family and the piano did not have time to react, Liang Cheng and Liang Yong actually took all the matters of Shen's grooming and changing clothes, and under their orders, they actually completed it in less than half an hour.

And by the time the Shen family had finished grooming and sat on the soft blue stone and silver in the inner room, Liang Cheng and Liang Yong were arguing endlessly to wipe her hair, and the red lips had already bent into the most beautiful laughing arc.

"Sister, it's obviously my turn to wipe my mother's hair, how can you cheat?"

"That's not to learn from you, didn't you just take up a lot of my time?"

"No, you lied to me!" And in the middle of the night, it has been cold for a long time on the bank of Nanlan Creek, but it is rare to be lively, and the sound of bickering like silver bells also makes the coldest winter night in this winter seem to be noisy and warm.

On the peach tree not far from the plum blossoms outside the courtyard, I don't know when, small buds have already bloomed.

It turns out that spring is not far off.

*****

*****

Plum blossoms begin to wither in late winter and early spring, but peach blossoms begin to bloom in early spring and late winter, and the color of the petals has never disappeared in the banks of Nanlan Creek. Because whether it was in the past, or now in the courtyard that is mostly a little cold, the gardeners will take good care of every flower and tree, so that they do not miss a little.

Therefore, when the season of flowers is about to bloom, and the plum blossoms are about to come to an end, there is still a scene of flourishing flowers on the banks of Nanlan Creek.

"Even if my mother is not there, the florists have taken care of Wumenghe and Daye Taoxue so well, so when my mother comes back from the Shen Mansion, she will definitely be very happy."

"That's nature, these flowers are the work of Madame, who dares to pay attention to it?"

In the courtyard on the bank of Nanlan Creek, Mother Liu accompanied Liang Cheng to stand in front of the rows of flowerbeds that were very elegantly laid and said with a smile.

"Yes, my mother likes them so much that I once ate their vinegar."

Some of the previous scars, Liang Cheng began to be light at this time, she was very emotional, but Liu's mother didn't dare to take it, so she quickly changed the topic and smiled: "The old lady has finally recovered from her illness, this is simply God's mercy, this time the old lady Shen suddenly fell ill, but most of Jian'an was shaken, and now it's okay, it's really good." ”

"Who's to say it isn't."

Liang Cheng also smiled, but she knew that her grandmother's illness might not only shake this half of Jian'an, right?

It's just that there are some words, everyone knows in their hearts, and there is no need to spread out everything, so Liang Cheng also followed Liu's mother's words and went down, "It's also a shame that my grandmother's illness is finally cured, otherwise if there is no mother in this house to control, then it will really be panicked, didn't I hear a few days ago that the second sister had a quarrel with the mother-in-law guarding the door at the second gate?" ”

Mother Liu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said knowingly: "What the third miss said is that I don't know what the mother-in-law at the second gate withheld what Mrs. Zhu sent to Aunt Zhu, so that the second miss could make a fuss like that." ”

"Alas, it's also my mother's absence, and I can't do anything, if my mother is in the house at this time, how dare the mother-in-law who guards the door disobey the master like this?" Liang Cheng seemed to look at Liu's mother with emotion and asked, "I don't know how Liu's mother dealt with those gatekeepers?" ”

At this time, the wind blew gently, and the rustle of the leaves of the willows gently echoed in the ears, like a clear stream of tinkling dongdong.

And the peach trees in the middle of summer, now the peach blossoms have long withered, at this time only the dry branches remain, swaying slightly in the orange sun and wind, and it is also in this street full of dry peach trees, a peach tree that is already very old, and life is about to come to an end, the peach tree is full of fog and flowers, as if the peach blossoms are colorful.

……

……

During the juvenile reign of Emperor Wen, a great war broke out between Xiyin and Houshu, and it was this great war that made Liang Hu, the general of Zhendong in Xiyin, begin to show his edge and amaze the world - Liang Hu led the only 100,000 troops left in Xiyin at that time, repelled the wolf army of Houshu, and invaded Shu nearly thousands of miles away, forcing Houshu to take the initiative to negotiate peace.

At that time, although Xiyin was like a rainbow at that time, but in fact, the national strength was extremely weak, and it was really a fantasy to take advantage of this to annex Houshu. Emperor Wen knew this very well, so this war between the two countries provoked by Hou Shu first, and finally ended with Hou Shu's initiative to negotiate peace. After many unequal treaties were signed in Houshu and a prince was sent to Xiyin as a proton, the war was completely quelled.

As for the lord of Dongyu County...... Chu Gu's mother, that is, at that time, arrived with Proton.

At that time, Concubine Meng was one of the four concubines of the first emperor, and the queen of the first emperor had only one in her life, and that was Empress Yuan Houzhen. After Empress Zhen's red face and early death, the first emperor did not establish a new one, and took charge of the power of the six palaces, but in the end, she was the favorite concubine of Emperor Cheng, Li Guifei.
