Chapter 196: The Golden Moon
The Shen family seemed to have great respect for this old general Tang Yi, and the piano and ink paintings next to him were confused by these few words, and they didn't know how their wife could be so humble to this old man. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But only Liang Yong, who was holding Liang Yong, who was also ignorant, stood behind Shen, but her heart couldn't be brighter. But even if Liang Cheng knew what the reason for this was, she was slightly shocked that her mother actually respected General Tang Yi so much.
You must know that there are many heroes who fought on the battlefield for the country and the people in Xiyin, but there are not many who can make her mother respect to such a degree, even if the old general Tang Yi was one of the people who followed her grandfather that year and took the current king of England into the tiger's den to snatch back the bones of the old prince, but it is not like this, right?
Liang Cheng was a little puzzled, but she didn't dare to get tired in the slightest, after Shen shouted "Mo Ke, Yong'er", she hurriedly led Liang Yong forward, and saluted the old general Tang Yi in a proper manner.
This time, the old general Tang Yi did not turn sideways, he smiled and helped Liang Cheng and Liang Yong, and then took out a piece of lotus purple spike silver flower and a piece of red gold pendant from his sleeve, handed it to Liang Cheng and Liang Yong, and said: "This was originally when I was preparing to enter the palace, if I saw the juniors when I went to meet the concubine, I wanted to give a meeting gift, but I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time, fortunately!" ”
"Thank you, old general." Needless to say, although Liang Yong didn't understand what the old man who was called "old general" by his mother was, he didn't dare to slack off just looking at his mother's attitude, and hurriedly followed Liang Cheng and saluted the old general Tang Yi to thank him.
"Good boy, good boy, you don't need so many courtesies, it seems that Mrs. Liang has taught you well, Old Man Liang should rest assured now."
Old General Tang Yi looked at the well-behaved and obedient Liang Cheng and Liang Yong in front of him, and sighed softly for some reason, and then suddenly laughed and said: "Okay, I just heard that Mrs. Liang is coming, so I came to see you, and now it's good to see you, then I must have been healthy, so I will rest assured and leave." ”
The old general Tang Yi didn't wait for Shen to say anything, he strode away in a hurry, and after a while, he disappeared in the eyes of Shen and Liang Cheng and his party.
"This old man, it's still like this, and it hasn't changed at all." Shen Shi looked at the figure that had disappeared, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile, his tone was full of respect and admiration.
"Mother, who is this old general?" And Liang Yong, who had never understood what was going on since the appearance of the old general Tang Yi and the time he left, ran to Shen's side, took her hand and asked.
"This is an elder you have to respect all the time, remember?" Shen gently touched Liang Yong's head, and then raised her eyes to look at Liang Yong, and the solemnity in her eyes made her nod hurriedly.
"Mother, I know." Liang Cheng naturally knew what Shen meant by this, although she still had some doubts that she had not solved, but this did not prevent her from treating the old general Tang Yi, who had been sticking to Yanmeng City, and had been born and died several times, even if the few sons and daughters under his knees were all sleeping under the West Sea, but the old general never took a step back.
Such an old man, how could Liang Cheng not know what her mother's words meant.
"Alright, let's go inside."
After Liang Cheng nodded heavily, Shen took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and then boarded the carriage again and drove towards the British King's Mansion. Although the King of England and the Princess of England are stationed in Yanmeng City all the year round, the British Prince's Mansion in Jian'an is actually no different from an empty house, but because of the old princess and the little prince of Tang, there is still no shortage of luxury and wealth in this British Prince's Mansion. It's just that compared with the Zhendong General's Mansion, there are still some things missing in this gorgeous and huge mansion, such as liveliness.
Now this is still the situation after the King and Princess Ying have returned to Beijing, if they are still in Yanmeng City, there are only the old princess and the little prince Tang here, and even before the little prince Tang has not returned to Beijing, then the British palace with only the old princess alone must be deserted?
Liang Cheng just thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt panicked in her heart, I really don't know how the King and Princess Ying could bear to let the old princess stay alone in this empty house for so many years?
At the moment, Liang Ming's perception of the King of England and the British Princess suddenly dropped several steps.
Point cui flowers, inlaid with golden moon, Qionglou Yuyu Xianren Terrace, in the Shen family and Liang Cheng's carriage and horse all the way through the British Palace, when they arrived at the second gate, Liang Cheng has seen many gorgeous buildings and beautiful scenery.
Emperor Wen is really a saint to the British king, some buildings have to be in the palace, Liang Cheng has also seen more than one place in this British palace, if this is placed in another family, then it is not a heavy matter to destroy the family.
Liang Cheng sighed in her heart, but there was no hindrance in her actions, leading Liang Yong to follow behind Shen, transfer to a soft sedan chair, and walk along the avenue all the way, until she came to a courtyard with carved beams and paintings before stopping, and the mothers-in-law of the British Prince's Mansion asked Shen and Liang Cheng to get off the sedan chair.
Where is this?
Liang Cheng thought that she would go directly to the main courtyard, but it was obvious that this was not the main courtyard lobby of the British Royal Mansion, because although the courtyard in front of Liang Cheng was also carved and painted, although the somewhat mottled walls also gave people a strange beauty, but this kind of decadent elegance could not appear in the main courtyard of the British Royal Mansion.
Liang Cheng was a little curious about why Princess Ying chose to entertain them here, but the question turned around twice in her mouth, and she finally swallowed it back, and her mother didn't say anything, so it was not her turn to express her opinion.
Liang Cheng quietly led the well-behaved Liang Yong, followed behind the Shen family, and walked all the way into the compound in front of him.
"Sister, what kind of tree is this?" Just when Liang Cheng was looking at the kapok trees a little distracted, Liang Yong gently pulled her hand and asked in a low voice.
"This is a kapok tree, we also have it in our house, you forgot." Liang Cheng, who came back to her senses, looked down at Liang Yong with a smile and explained to him.
"Oh, then since we also have it in our house, why are you still stunned, sister." Liang Yong tilted his head and looked at Liang Cheng more and more puzzled, but Liang Cheng was speechless by the sudden words of the little tiger.
She couldn't tell him, because she felt that looking at them at this time made her feel that there was even more loneliness in the British Palace, and the old princess who was alone in this empty city was even more bleak. And these emotions Liang Cheng can't say to this little tiger, he is afraid that he doesn't even know what loneliness and bleakness are.
"Wow, Yong'er, look, what is that?"
In the end, Liang Cheng still couldn't think of how to tell Liang Yong, so he could only use his tricks again, raising his hand and pointing to a pair of gray-eyed redbud sparrows sleeping on an acacia tree not far away, which attracted the attention of a certain little tiger and immediately diverted.
If it weren't for the scruples that this was in someone else's mansion, Liang Yong would have estimated that Liang Yong would have rushed away towards the pair of gray-eyed redbud sparrows, where could he stay by her side obediently!
Liang Cheng glanced at the little people around her funny, then looked up and looked ahead, only to see that while she was talking to Liang Yong, they had already passed through the corridor and arrived at the lobby, and there were two people standing there at this time to greet Shen and Liang Cheng and their party, it was Princess Ying and Tang Menglan.
"Mrs. Liang's arrival is really disappointing."
Princess Ying looks like a woman who is only in her thirties, just looking at her face, it seems that she is several years younger than Shen's, but Liang Cheng knows that most of the ladies are well-maintained, and just looking at Princess Ying's greasy skin, she knows that this is also a master who pays great attention to maintenance, so her actual age must be two years older, but I don't know if she is older than her mother.
Liang Cheng glanced at Princess Ying quietly, then looked up at the Shen family in front, at this angle between her and Yong'er, they could only see the side face of the mother, and at this time, the early morning sun gently reflected on the mother's face, reflecting a little golden light, which made the mother's beauty more and more imposing.
"The British princess is polite."
The two parties met and saluted each other, and Liang Cheng and Tang Menglan were not spared. In front of the Shen family and Princess Ying, even if the two of them looked at each other extremely unpleasantly, they didn't dare to show anything at this time, and they still greeted each other politely.
After the ceremony, the British princess also invited Shen into the house for tea, Liang Cheng led Liang Yong, and Tang Menglan walked into the house last, when Shen and Princess Ying couldn't see it, Liang Cheng and Tang Menglan were looking at the nose and nose, as if no one could see anyone.
But unlike the younger generation, the Shen family and the British princess are extremely harmonious, and after everyone sat down and chatted without a word, the Shen family and the British princess were as harmonious as old friends who had not seen each other for many years.
"Lanling, I went to Lanling once many years ago, and the wealth and prosperity of Lanling at that time really opened my eyes, and I still remember it."
"The princess is polite, if you want to talk about wealth and prosperity, you can't help but mention Yanmeng City. Since ancient times, maritime trade has been the most able to drive people's livelihood and economy, and if it weren't for His Royal Highness the King who has been guarding the peace of the West Sea, Xiyin's maritime trade would have been cut off long ago by the pirates, and there would be a prosperous maritime trade today. Not to mention the most prosperous Yanmeng City. ”
Shen and Princess Ying humbled each other, sentence after sentence, listening to Liang Cheng and Liang Yong next to them drowsy, and even Liang Cheng saw Tang Menglan, who was sitting opposite her, who had already yawned several times by turning his head to drink tea.
"Menglan."
Tang Menglan, who was yawning a lot, was almost frightened when she heard the British princess calling her, but obviously she was often doing this kind of thing, so she recovered very quickly, and after a little calm, Tang Menglan stood up with the same face and responded to the British princess very decently: "Mother, what's the matter." ”
"Miss Liang and the fourth son are coming to our house for the first time, and it's not interesting to sit here all the time, so it's better for you to take the third miss and the fourth son to other places in the house, remember not to be rude."
Princess Ying's sudden order not only made Tang Menglan stunned, but even Liang Cheng was a little unable to come back to her senses, she hurriedly looked in the direction of the Shen family, but all she could see was the smile of her mother looking at her.
She understood the meaning of this smile, so after Tang Menglan didn't dare to hesitate at all, Liang Cheng took Liang Yong, whose emotions had obviously become high, to get up, and bowed to the Shen family and Princess Ying together with Tang Menglan.
Liang Cheng and Tang Menglan silently exited the lobby, while Liang Yong happily asked Liang Cheng, "Sister, where are we going to play?" ”
This is really a question for Liang Cheng, but before she could answer anything, a sneer immediately came out from the side, which made the little tiger, who was still happy, immediately stiffen in place, and looked up at Liang Cheng with some anxiety on his handsome little face, whether he had embarrassed his mother and sister just now.
"Yong'er, where you want to play, we will go wherever we want, didn't you listen to the princess just now, let Miss Tang take us around, if she doesn't want to, we can go into the house immediately to return to the princess, and let her call another maid to show us the way." Anyway, this kind of trivial matter, my sister believes that even a maid must not be so ignorant of etiquette. ”
Even if Liang Cheng didn't look behind her, she could know that Tang Menglan's face must be stinky, because the anger was as if even the air was dyed with a layer of fiery red. However, Liang Yuan didn't care at all.
She leaned her head slightly to look at Liang Yong, gently pinched his little chubby face, and after seeing him cheerful again, Liang Cheng straightened up and turned her head to look at the angry Tang Menglan, and said coldly: "I don't know if Miss Tang is really in a hurry, if it's really inconvenient, we naturally can't force the host's family as guests." ”
"Convenient, of course it's convenient, how can there be anything inconvenient."
Tang Menglan looked at Liang Cheng's celadon white sick and weak face, but her bright eyes were full of anger, but just like Liang Cheng said, her mother had told her to treat them well, if she let Liang Cheng go back and sue her now.........
Tang Menglan's anger suddenly increased by a few points, but she didn't say a word and turned around and walked out, "Let's go, Miss Liang San and Liang Sigongzi, I'll take you to the mansion to 'have a good look'." (To be continued.) )
