Chapter 244: Oil-paper umbrella
On the premise of not wanting to oppress and exploit the people who have already suffered from natural disasters for many years; Under the premise that he didn't want to work hard all his life to manage the name of the Renjun Holy Emperor, but in the end it fell short, Emperor Wen really had no other good way than to turn a blind eye.

But under such a grim situation, the Shen family extended a helping hand to the Tai Academy and several other university halls, and under the leadership of the Shen family, several huge wealthy families assisted the Tai Academy, so that the ancient books and scrolls worth thousands of gold in the Tai Academy were all well preserved.
Therefore, the Shen family naturally became the nobles of Taixue, and it was natural to invite these wealthy families who lent a helping hand to Taixue to Taixue for a banquet.
These things are not a secret, so Zhong Qing naturally knows about it, and at this time, she jokingly teased Liang Cheng, but Liang Cheng was thinking about other things, so after smiling slightly, she didn't say anything.
If she didn't really know how to explain to her mother this time, she wouldn't have bothered Zhong Qing so much, but there are some things that should be buried in her heart forever and can't be said.
And the secret contact between Qi Yu and Liang Ji made Liang Cheng careless, so in the end, she could only trouble Zhong Qing.
Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing and their entourage successfully entered the Tai Academy, and went directly to Xizhai all the way, because it was only about noon, so there were not many visitors.
"It's still early at this time, and there aren't many people coming, but what about your second sister? Is she here? Zhong Qing looked around quietly, and after not finding Liang Ji's figure, he turned his head to Liang Cheng and asked.
"Not yet, she didn't leave before I left the house, I think she won't arrive until after us." As soon as Liang Ji was mentioned, Liang Cheng subconsciously cheered up 120,000 points.
Today, when Liang Cheng left the house, she specially asked if Liang Ji was still in the house, and until she was about to leave Dongzheng Street, Liang Ji had no sign of leaving.
Liang Cheng was a little surprised by this, but it may also be because the Xie family left late, after all, Liang Cheng didn't see Xie Qiyan or the Xie family's carriage, so I think that's the reason.
Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing found a place in Xizhai to sit down and rest for a while, at this time there were still few visitors, but everyone was familiar with each other, and even Liang Cheng was no longer the mysterious Liang family's golden branch that the dragon could not see, so after everyone greeted each other, they separated.
The guests at today's banquet are more or less related to the people on the list of this Taixue exam, whether it is for the children of the clan who are still studying in Taixue, or in order not to lose face in front of their teachers, everyone is naturally holding a shelf at this time.
Different from the usual banquets, even if they saw Liang Cheng appear in Xizhai, everyone tried their best not to come forward to talk too much, but they all put up a shelf in front of everyone.
But this also has the advantage, that is, Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing no longer have to struggle to find an inconspicuous place to stay, or let the maids and mothers-in-law surround themselves to be human walls, and they can also get a quiet time.
"I really can't imagine that there is such a benefit in Taixue." Zhong Qing personally poured a cup of tea for Liang Cheng and handed it to her, sighing at the unexpected tranquility, and said to Liang Cheng with some emotion.
"Yes, I used to think that there must be restraint everywhere in Chinese studies, but I didn't think that there were other benefits, such a quiet and peaceful, it's hard to see it in other places." Liang Cheng was also more or less surprised.
This is really a rare picture to see elsewhere, everyone is so reserved, it is really rare, after Liang Cheng looked around, he also paid attention to the direction of the gate again, for fear of missing when Liang Ji came in.
When she comes to the Tai Academy for a banquet, no matter where she wants to go later, this Xizhai has to come first, so Liang Cheng is not afraid that she will pass by Liang Ji or something, as long as she comes, then Liang Cheng will be the first to know.
"You don't have to be too nervous, anyway, as long as Miss Liang Er arrives in a while, the person who is guarding the front will definitely come to report first. Moreover, the study where His Royal Highness Qi Yu was at this time was not something that ordinary people could enter and exit at will, and it was not so simple for her to meet His Royal Highness Qi Yu. Zhong Qing also saw Liang Cheng's nervousness, so she said with relief.
"I know all this, but I just feel uneasy in my heart, maybe I'm too careful." What Zhong Qing said, Liang Cheng knew, but she just couldn't relax, and her spirit was always tense.
Liang Cheng sighed helplessly, Zhong Qing looked at it next to him and felt funny, so he smiled and said, "If you are so worried, then let's sit for a while and go to the attic in front, from where you can see the guests coming in from the entrance at a glance." ”
"It's good, but won't it be too troublesome for Sister Zhong." Liang Cheng looked at Zhong Qing with some embarrassment and said, it was already very troublesome for Zhong Qing this time, if she let Zhong Qing trouble again because of her uneasiness, it would be really a little uncomfortable.
"This little thing is not a problem, you, you just think too much." Zhong Qing smiled and nodded Liang Cheng's forehead, saying that she was used to worrying, and the relationship between the two was also very intimate.
Liang Cheng touched her forehead embarrassedly, knowing that this was Zhong Qing's intimacy, her heart suddenly warmed, and then the two of them sat in Xizhai for a while, and then got up and went to the front.
……
……
Today's weather is rare and very good, when Liang Cheng came out of the Zhendong General's Mansion, the sky was still very clear, and there was no intention of heavy snow at all, but after Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing walked out of Xizhai, the heavy snow suddenly fell from the sky.
Liang Cheng raised her head and looked at the falling snowflakes for a while, but Zhong Qing next to her was surprised: "It was fine just now, why did it suddenly snow, look like this, it's still heavy snow." ”
Nian Xiang and Mo'er hurriedly took out the big coat to drape Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing, and then opened the oil paper umbrella to block the snowflakes that fell on Liang Cheng and the others, Zhong Qing even said to Liang Cheng: "While the snow is not deep now, let's hurry over, otherwise it will be difficult to walk when the snow is deep for a while." ”
"Oh, okay, let's go." Liang Cheng, who was still in a trance, was told this by Zhong Qing, but she reacted immediately, and helped Nian Xiang to walk with Zhong Qing to a pavilion in front.
It is close to the entrance, and the terrain is extremely convenient for people to observe the visitors coming in and out, Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing went there to wait for Liang Ji's arrival, which is really the most suitable place.
The two of them hurriedly walked forward in the goose feather snow, and after a while, under the leadership of the attendants in the Tai Academy, the two soon arrived in front of the small building, and after collecting the oil umbrella and taking off the big coat, Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing pushed the door and entered.
"Huh?" Liang Cheng walked behind Zhong Qing, so before she could see what the scene was in the house, the first thing she heard was Zhong Qing's exclamation, which made Liang Cheng pause.
"What's wrong, Sister Zhong." Liang Cheng stood behind Zhong Qing and asked.
"Oh, it's okay, it's just that I really didn't expect this small building to be such a 'real person without showing up'." Zhong Qing turned her head and smiled at Liang Cheng, while leaning sideways to let her see the situation in the room clearly.
The sunlight had long been hidden in the thick clouds at this time, but the bright sky light still penetrated the screen window, reflecting all the furnishings in the room clearly, so that Liang Cheng was stunned for a while before reacting.
There is nothing in the first floor of this small building, on the snow-white four walls, there are only calligraphy and paintings, and these calligraphy and paintings that can make Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing stunned are really not small, they are all masterpieces of everyone in the Shuyue period.
This is not only in Xiyin, even if you look at the world, it is also an extremely precious treasure, but now there are so many of them all at once, and with the eyes of Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing, they will naturally not be mistaken.
It seems that Taixue has a very deep background, but there are so many treasures hanging in such an ordinary small building, but Taixue is so rich, so how can he still need the assistance of his mother?
The expression on Liang Cheng's face was a little inexplicable, and the waiter who had been staying by Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing's side was really a smart and intelligent person, and after seeing Liang Cheng's reaction at this time, he immediately explained: "Miss Liang San and Miss Zhong may not know yet, this small building is an unusual existence in Taixue, it is the place where the old dean donated the treasures that he has collected all his life, and no one else is allowed to approach it on weekdays." ”
"Oh, I see." After Zhong Qing heard this, the mood of surprise was gone, and so was Liang Cheng, the old dean was honest all his life, and his only hobby was these calligraphy and paintings.
At the beginning, even when the old dean was extremely difficult, he didn't touch a single penny of these calligraphy and paintings, and it is said that there are also collections and inheritances of the past generations of Tai Academy presidents, so at this time, he had heard the waiter say this, and Liang Cheng naturally knew what was going on.
As for such a special pavilion, why the two of them were able to make an exception to come in, it is naturally needless to say.
Don't talk about Liang Cheng, just talk about Zhong Qing, her relationship with Qi Ling was given by the concubine and her old man, and it was a sure thing, although the relationship between the two was delayed for a long time by the second princess Yang because of Zhong Shangshu's involvement in the Wenzhou case some time ago.
But later, because the suspicion of King Li was gone, Emperor Wen also began to slowly use Zhong Shangshu again, and the second princess Yang no longer had an excuse to shirk, especially after the deliberate or unintentional beating of the old man's concubine Meng, the second princess Yang had no choice but to start preparing for the family affair with the Zhong family again.
At this rate, Liang Cheng estimated that Zhong Qing and Qi Ling's family affair should be held in three months, and Emperor Wen fell ill again, and he was lingering on the sickbed.
If you don't hurry up and handle the family affairs of Zhong Qing and Qi Ling, then if you really encounter the death of Emperor Wen, and then the Xiyin Kingdom will be mourned, the whole country will not be allowed to do anything red and white in the past five years.
Therefore, in order not to disobey the wishes of Concubine Meng and her old man, the second princess, the Yang family and the Zhong Mansion, are now in full swing preparing for family affairs, hoping that they can handle family affairs smoothly before any changes occur.
Although the second prince Qi Cheng is already the most powerful candidate for the prince today, and Qi Jue's identity has long been noble, the more at this time, the more cautious the second princess Yang becomes. The more at this time, the more the second princess Yang didn't want to disobey Concubine Meng's wishes.
Moreover, Zhong Qing is the eldest daughter of the Zhong family, the official book, and this identity is also suitable for Qi Ling as his wife, at least the most suitable daughter-in-law who is on the cusp of the second prince's mansion.
Qi Ling and Zhong Qing's relationship is now very smooth, Zhong Qing's identity has naturally changed from what it used to be, and it is naturally not a strange thing to be able to enter this small building.
Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing asked the waiter a few more words about the history and stories of this small building, and then went to the second floor. The second floor of this small building is exactly the same as the first floor, except for the calligraphy and paintings worth thousands of gold, there is no other decoration.
Such a simple and valuable layout really makes Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing have to be careful every step here, after all, these paintings are not only priceless, but also their significance is even heavier than their value.
Therefore, Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing walked through the lobby on the second floor extremely carefully, and then arrived at the outside corridor, put down the purple bamboo curtain, burned the silver frost charcoal, and after a while, the corridor was slowly warmed.
"It's getting heavier and heavier." After Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing sat down on the verandah, Liang Cheng looked out frequently, but except for the snowflakes that were falling bigger and bigger, she didn't see anything anymore.
However, the snow is slippery at this time, and the carriage is indeed difficult to walk on the roadway, and if they come, they may have to wait until the snow turns a little lighter, otherwise it will easily frighten the horses, and then it will no longer be a trouble that can be solved in one or two sentences.
