Chapter 166: The End of the World
Whether it is everything related to politics and state affairs, or some things in the backyard that she shouldn't know, Liang Sixuan and Shen have reached a rare tacit understanding, and they both feel that Liang Cheng is still too young to get involved too early.

So there is no need to think about it, if she goes in at this time, then her father and mother will definitely break her up again, but tonight my father will wait for my mother on the bank of Nanlan River for a night, no matter how you look at it, Liang Cheng feels that what her father wants to say to her mother must be something very bad.
So how could she leave with confidence?
So Liang Cheng had no choice but to sit here closest to the golden flower window, and the maids and mothers-in-law in the courtyard by Nanlan Creek all looked like they didn't see anything, and even the piano and ink paintings guarding the door of the room also turned their heads to the other side with a tacit understanding, as if they hadn't found anything.
The courtyard suddenly fell silent, and for a moment, Liang Cheng could only hear the conversation in the house.
"Is the ancestor okay, and do you still feel tired lately?"
The first thing that catches the ear is Liang Sixuan's voice, his tone that has always been unhurried and unhurried, at this time, it will still make people unconsciously relax.
"Fortunately, although I still get tired easily, as long as I have a good rest, it is fine. Shen's voice was still cold, indifferent and without emotional fluctuations, she just asked Liang Sixuan calmly, "I heard that you waited for me all night?"
"Hmm. Liang Sixuan replied softly.
"What's the matter. Shen didn't beat around the bush, and asked straight to the point. If even Liang Cheng could know that Liang Sixuan would not wait for her all night for no reason, then Shen would be able to guess more clearly that what Liang Sixuan wanted to say to her was not a good thing.
Shen's eyes looked at Liang Sixuan indifferently, and Liang Sixuan paused before he spoke: "Wenzhou, have you received any news?"
Yes?
What the?
For a moment, not only Liang Ming, who was stretching her ears outside the window, was stunned, but even Shen was stunned for a while before turning her eyes to look at Liang Sixuan, and she asked, "What did you just say?" she didn't hear clearly.
Liang Sixuan raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect Shen to reply to him, and only after a pause did he ask again: "Now the news in Wenzhou, have you received anything? ā
The current situation in Wenzhou City is very bad, and under the situation of almost complete blockade and investigation, the Liang family's intelligence network in Wenzhou is also unable to spread any news, which makes the source of a huge disaster that is most likely to break out in Beijing now, but it is completely unknown to the Liang family, such a situation is not an ordinary passivity.
For this reason, Liang Sixuan was quite anxious, and his good-looking eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
But Shen Shi was different from him, her bright and peerless eyes flashed, and some emotions flashed under her eyes, but before Liang Sixuan noticed them, she turned her eyes away again and said lightly: "I don't have any news here." ā
The wrinkles in Liang Sixuan's eyebrows deepened again, but Shen continued: "But my mother sent back a few pieces of news. ā
"What is it?" Liang Sixuan's eyes lit up again.
"In the Wenzhou case of greedy ink for disaster relief, although there are indeed people involved in the case who have deep friendships with King Li, this does not mean anything. Shen paused when he said this, but finally added, "My mother said that King Li will definitely not have anything to do with the affairs of Wenzhou." ā
"Oh, why?" Liang Sixuan's brows, which had already been tightly furrowed, suddenly stretched out slowly after Shen's words.
"No, my mother just said that King Li grew up under the knees of the old man of the concubine, so he will never have anything to do with Wenzhou's greed for food and salary for disaster relief. ā
Shen said plainly, but Liang Sixuan reacted in general with Shen who was in front of Old Madam Shen at the time, he was stunned for a moment, and then he chuckled, and the worry that had just condensed in his eyebrows slowly dissipated.
"Looks like I'm a philistine. ā
This time the matter between King Li and Wenzhou, the reason why Liang Sixuan and the Shen family are the same as the preconceived ideas, thinking that as long as there are people close to King Li involved in this matter, it represents the reason why King Li is also related to this matter, but the existence of King Li is too special.
He not only has his own vast fiefdom, but also has more than 100,000 elite soldiers in the fiefdom, if he is really implicated in the affairs of Wenzhou, it is really a matter of touching the whole body, and its seriousness is naturally self-evident.
Otherwise, Liang Sixuan and Shen, no matter who they are, would not have made such a blind mistake.
Both of them fell silent, and for a while, as if suddenly there was nothing to say, the suffocating silence slowly spread, making Liang Cheng outside the window feel a little uncomfortable by this silence. She originally thought that her father was going to say something that made her mother angry, but who knew that it would be about Wenzhou, which made Liang Cheng completely surprised.
Presumably the same is true for my mother, otherwise there would not have been a short silence just now. Liang Cheng was now thinking nonsense outside the window, but the silence in the window was finally broken.
"You've been out all day today and haven't come back until now, you must be very tired, so I'll leave first. Liang Sixuan's voice sounded.
"Hmm. When Liang Cheng heard it, her mother just responded lightly.
The room was quiet again for a while, so quiet that Liang Cheng began to feel a headache, and there was movement in the room again, Liang Cheng heard that it was Liang Sixuan's footsteps that got up to come out, she hurriedly took the side and kept her eyes wide, looking at her with a look of ignorance, Liang Yong was about to walk to the side, wanting not to be caught by her father.
But at this moment, Liang Cheng heard Liang Sixuan, who had already walked to the door, and suddenly spoke again, "Why didn't you inform me first about going to the Shen Mansion today?"
Today, the Shen family took Liang Cheng and Liang Yong to the Shen Mansion to visit Mrs. Shen, and the Shen family sent someone to say it this morning, when Liang Sixuan was about to leave the mansion. At that time, Liang Sixuan was already going to the court, and he couldn't do anything except be stunned.
Shen's decision was almost arbitrary, and when Liang Sixuan said it, he added a faint blame to it, which made people feel that the other party should not do it.
But Liang Cheng outside the window almost yelled out there.
My mother wanted to tell you in advance, but where have you been these two days.........? Xiao Han can leave you by her side almost all the time because she is unwell, so what else does the mother have to say to you in advance?
The words were held in Liang Cheng's chest, and she wanted to shout them all, but in the end, she swallowed them all back.
These words, if you want to say them, they can only be said by her mother, and others are not qualified to talk more.
But at this time, the Shen family in the house didn't say a word, and Liang Sixuan stood quietly in front of the door for a long, long time, and in the end, what he waited for was just silence as usual.
With a sigh, I don't know who just said that shallow to the lips, and it was scattered in the air lightly, and the door "creaked", and Liang Sixuan left.
The cold and bright moonlight illuminated the courtyard by Nanlan Creek with a silver glow, but Liang Cheng held Liang Yong's little fat hand tightly, and when she stood under the long eaves and watched Liang Sixuan's back leaving, the emotions in her eyes couldn't be more complicated.
The two people who should be the closest people are getting farther and farther apart under the mutual hurt year after year. is obviously the person who should be closest to each other, but they have come to the end of the world today, and those times when they could turn back to each other have also been indifferent by the grievances accumulated year after year.
You can't go back to the beginning, right?
If Liang Cheng didn't have the memory of her previous life, then she might really think that her mother had long been dead to her father, but she just knew that even if her mother dragged her weak and sick body in the end, she was only willing to die with her father, rather than stealing her life and betraying her father.
Mother's behavior, although Liang Cheng still can't figure out what kind of emotions she has for her father, but it will never be dead wood and ashes.
And after tonight, Liang Cheng thought that her father was completely proud of her mother, and she began to waver a little.
If the father really didn't care about his mother at all, then there would not be the scene just now. When my father asked my mother when he was leaving, it didn't sound normal, but it didn't seem special.
But she really heard the other meanings in the words, and in addition to the slightest reproach, she heard some faint resentment in her father's words.
What is my father complaining about?
Is it because he is afraid that his grandmother will think that he will not accompany them to the Shen Mansion to visit her old man's house, and will feel that he is rude, so he will complain about his mother? This is impossible, not to mention the recent tension in the DPRK, whether it is the disaster in the northeast or the border tension in the southwest, everything is urgent, Liang Sixuan, as one of the right ministers of the three dukes, was unable to go to the Shen Mansion with the Shen family to visit the old lady Shen at this time, this is not incomprehensible.
What's more, from today to the end, my grandmother has never mentioned her father to her mother, her, or even Liang Yong, let alone blame her father?
But in this case, what is his father's resentment about? Could it be that his mother didn't inform him in advance that he was going to the Shen Mansion, so that his father felt that he was neglected by his mother?
Such an obvious problem, it's really unreasonable for Liang Cheng to be crooked.
And Liang Sixuan's performance just now also made Liang Cheng begin to feel that maybe his father was not completely unintentional towards his mother, nor did he completely put his mother behind Xiao Han's family, and only focused on Xiao Han's joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
Otherwise.........
Liang Cheng seemed to have grasped something important, but suddenly disappeared again, Liang Cheng frowned, clenched her hands a little impetuously, and wanted to clench it into a fist. But when she tried her best, she found that she was already holding something in her hand.
"Sister. Liang Yong's crisp childish voice sounded, Liang Cheng hurriedly relaxed the strength in her hand, and looked down at the little tiger.
I saw that those big eyes were flashing and flashing, and they were looking at her completely puzzled at this time, as if they couldn't understand what Liang Cheng had done here tonight to hold him and sit here all night.
Liang Yuan's face turned red, "Ahem, Yong'er, let's go in and say hello to my mother, I'll send you back to Que Qin Courtyard, okay?"
"Okay!" Originally, there were still some inexplicable villains, but now when he heard that Liang Cheng was going to send him back to Que Qin Courtyard in person, the little chubby face immediately became happy again, and took Liang Cheng's hand and was about to go into the room to greet the Shen family.
In the room, Shen was sitting in front of the golden silk nanmu sheep horn table at this time, eating tea with an indifferent expression, and he didn't look affected at all.
Today's long day has finally come to an end.
*****
*****
When the fish belly was white, the Zhendong General's Mansion began to be busy for a day, but today was as usual, before the Shen family got up, even if the mansion was busy, it was quiet, and only after there was movement on the bank of Nanlan Creek, there was a sound in the entire Liang Mansion.
Everything was as usual, even when Liang Cheng got up to freshen up and change her clothes, and then Xiao Yunxi arrived on the bank of Nanlan River to greet the Shen family, it was almost exactly the same as usual. But of course, in addition, the time when the Yang family, the Zhu family and others came to greet the Shen family was also exactly the same.
In the warm pavilion of the main house, Liang Cheng supervised Liang Yong to eat the bowl of yam porridge, and listened attentively to the movements in the lobby.
"Madam, you went to the Shen Mansion to visit Old Madam Shen yesterday, I don't know if her old man's body is still healthy?" Yang's gentle and concerned voice sounded outside.
"Sister Lao cares, and everything is fine with my mother. Shen replied lightly, the smile on his face was beautiful and majestic.
"That's a blessing. Yang still said with a smile, now that Han is gone, there is naturally no one on Yang's head to press her anymore, and she was the first to speak just now, exactly the same as the original Han family.
As for the Zhu family and the Xiao Han family, although they were looking at the Yang family with some cold eyes now, they didn't say much. Among them, Xiao Han's needless to say, she has been by Han's side for so many years, as long as she is not hopelessly stupid, after such a long time, some Shen Mansion should also be there.
What is really rare is the Zhu family, she now looks at the Yang family, who was still silent behind her, and when she turned over and climbed on her head, she didn't play as much as before, but kept watching coldly.
This can be said to be a huge change, which really made Liang Cheng a little sinky. However, there was a sudden silence in the lobby outside, and then Yang broke the silence and spoke again: "By the way, madam, in two days, it will be the Nanpu Incense Festival." ā
Nampo incense festival?
Liang Cheng in the warm pavilion was stunned, and then she was a little strange why Yang mentioned this.
In Jian'an, the Nanpu Incense Festival is just a small festival, but there is nothing to do, and there is only one special place about it, that is, it can give the nobles in Jian'an City another reason to hold a banquet or go out to play around. In addition, the Nanpu Incense Festival is nothing special about a festival, but the Yang family suddenly mentioned it, why is this?
Liang Cheng couldn't figure it out, but outside the Yang family had already continued: "I remember, this time it's our turn to do the Dongju banquet in the Liang Mansion, right?"
For a moment, Liang Cheng didn't understand what the Yang family was talking about, but the next moment, after hearing her mother's words, Liang Cheng knew what was going on, and only heard Shen Shi laugh lightly and said: "Yes, last year was a banquet held by Shang Shuling Yu's family, so this year should be our Liang family." ā
Last year, Shang Shu ordered the adult's family?
Liang Cheng was only slightly stunned, and she understood what Shen and Yang were talking about. This is also too much that has happened this year, since Liang Cheng was inexplicably reborn at the banquet of the second princess Yang, she has subconsciously forgotten everything before, and only the present and future events are what she has been thinking about.
Therefore, she even forgot the habit of the few wealthy families in Jian'an City, including the Liang family, taking turns to make Dongju banquets at the Nanpu Incense Festival every year, which is an important way for their Liang family and other clans who are also top gate lords to maintain the exchange of interests and good "feelings".
She forgot about such a big thing.
Liang Cheng frowned a little annoyed, but then put her mind outside again, since this banquet is so important, then the Yang family naturally knows about it. But knowing that you know, what is Yang trying to do when he mentions it now?
Liang Cheng was puzzled, but the Yang family in the outer room said leisurely: "Madam, there have been a lot of things happening in the house recently, sister, I can't bear to see Madame you work so hard." But this time, it was our Liang family's turn to hold the banquet of the Nanpu Incense Festival, which was too tiring for Mrs. My sister is not talented, and she volunteered to undertake the operation of this banquet, and wanted to reduce some of the burden for Mrs. with her meager efforts, and I hope that Mrs. will not dislike it. ā
Yang said something grandiose to Shen with a concerned face, but the expression on Shen's face did not fluctuate, and he was not angry at all by Yang's huge ambition.
It's just that the Shen family was indifferent, but some people were so angry that they almost dropped the hard-to-find Ruyao green jade bowl in their hands.
Can Yang be more shameless?
The Nanpu Incense Festival may not be too important, but the banquet held by the Liang family and the Yu family at the Nanpu Incense Festival is in Jian'an, and it is also one of the most important banquets in the year, and the important relationship is really self-evident.
And every year, no matter which door is the turn to hold a banquet, it is only the housewife who is responsible for it, if there is any special circumstance in the middle, such as the death of the housewife, it will be handed over to the old lady to be responsible, or even simply by the clan patriarch of that door to operate, anyway, no one dares to hand over the concubine under the master mother to hold the banquet.
In Xiyin, a land where the difference between the descendants is like a moat, no one dares to do this at all.
But what did Yang say just now? She actually said that she was willing to take on the operation of this banquet?
Liang Cheng was so angry that she suddenly wanted to laugh.
Her Yang family volunteered to take on the operation of this banquet, but at that time, the infamy will be borne by the mother, and the head of the Liang family is obviously fine, but since she let a concubine run this banquet, what does the Shen family mean?
Liang Cheng thought of this, and her teeth, which had already been clenched, suddenly loosened.
No, Yang is not such a stupid person, how could she think that with such a few words, she can let her mother hand over the banquet of this Nanpu Xiang Festival to her? The importance of this banquet, Yang is afraid that he also understands it very clearly.
Then Yang's intention to say this, I'm afraid it's not so simple.
Liang Cheng immediately pricked up her ears again, and concentrated on the movement outside again, only to hear Shen finally speak indifferently, "Sister Yang has a heart, but no one can really share this matter for me." ā
Shen looked at Yang with a calm face, but because of the difference between the position of the top and bottom, whenever Shen looked at Yang, he looked so condescending, even if Shen didn't deliberately have any emotions, but when Yang had to look up to look back at the past, the absolute gap in status and the huge contempt of power were still so clear that they were so clear that they were exposed.
"In previous years, every Nanpu Incense Festival banquet was personally organized and invited by several other ladies, if I was greedy this time, I really allowed Sister Yang to do it, even if I had to blame me for being tired, no one would come to the banquet again. Are you right, Sister Yang?"
The Shen family is the oldest here, and it stands to reason that it is not a big deal to be called "sister" by her, but the annoying thing is that the Shen family's beauty is also the one who overwhelms everyone in the Liang Mansion.
Even if the years have passed, whether it is when other people first entered the mansion, or today, when countless years have passed, the beauty and majesty of the Shen family are still standing in the center of the town's Dongda General's Mansion as in memory, and no one can shake it.
So whenever Shen smiled lightly and called the Yang family "sister", whether it was the Han family in the past or the Yang family now, there was only one emotion they felt from these two words, that is, condescending overlook.
That's also the disdain of the strong for the weak.
And these things were unacceptable to the Han family in the past, and the same is true for the Yang family today.
On the hair of Feitian Yun's sideburns, the sapphire-encrusted hairpin was tired of silk whiskers, and it was suddenly fluctuated, and Yang lowered her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking, until a long time later, she suddenly looked up at Shen again, and said with a smile: "What Madam said is that I didn't think it through." (To be continued.) )
