Chapter 246: Encounter
Because the snow was still dripping, there were still very few guests in the Tai Academy, and when Liang Cheng returned to Xizhai, there were still a few people sitting idly in the same room as before. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Among them, Liang Ji is naturally not included.
"Where is the second sister now?" Liang Cheng asked Nian Xiang beside her in a low voice.
As soon as Liang Ji stepped into Taixue, the people sent by Liang Cheng were already following behind Liang Ji and his party, and where Liang Ji was at this time, someone should have sent back the news a long time ago.
"The second lady is now enjoying the plum blossoms in the garden behind Xizhai, and the person next to her is the young lady of the Xie family who has just arrived."
Nian Xiang reported the news back to Liang Cheng one by one.
"Plum blossoms? She's not so interested. After a pause, Liang Cheng chuckled.
Liang Ji's mood must be really good now, after all, she has also entered the Tai Academy at this time, if she really came to meet Qi Yu, then her meeting with Qi Yu will only be a matter of time.
"Miss, shall we go to the back garden now?" Nian Xiang asked softly.
"Not yet, besides, if we follow too closely, it will attract her attention, so we should tell them to monitor the whereabouts of the second sister first." Liang Cheng pondered for a while, but still shook her head and said.
Although Liang Cheng really wants to follow Liang Ji every step of the way, the best thing to do now is to keep some distance from Liang Ji.
If Liang Ji found out that she was guessing that she would meet Qi Yu, then even if Liang Cheng guessed correctly, maybe in the end, it would be bad for them to be alert because of the scarelessness.
Liang Cheng didn't want Qi Yu and Liang Ji to run into each other this time.
The reason why she followed Liang Ji to Taixue to this celebration banquet today was just in case.
If her guesses are all right, then she must sabotage the meeting between Qi Yu and Liang Ji, and she must not let Liang Ji make any more trouble when the Zhendong General's Mansion is so chaotic.
What's more, Qi Yu is also the kind of existence that makes people extremely uncomfortable, if the two of them really get together at this time, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Liang family.
After all, with Liang Cheng's understanding of Qi Yu, he has always been ambitious for the throne, and Liang Ji is a person who can sacrifice even his family and relatives for his own interests.
If such two people meet together, Liang Cheng will never believe it if she doesn't make some noise, so it's okay if she guesses wrong today, but if she guesses correctly, she must not let Liang Ji and Qi Yu meet successfully planned.
But then again, how can she stop it?
Liang Cheng had set the goal early, but how to implement it was really a problem, except for sending people to monitor Liang Ji's whereabouts all the time, Liang Cheng had no other good way for the time being.
The heavy snow outside the house was still falling, and the visitors were coming one after another, although it was a little slow, but by the time the people in Xizhai had finished their lunch, there were actually quite a few people who arrived in Taixue.
And there was one person among them, but Liang Cheng was a little unexpected.
"Moke? How did you end up here? ”
Dressed in a crimson moon-white green bamboo robe, his long hair was crowned by a crown of purple and gold pearls, but he hadn't seen it for a while, and it was the young man who was growing his body that seemed to have raised a lot of length, and his face was full of green not long ago, and now it seems that there have been many changes.
Liang Cheng turned her head to look at the young man behind her a little unprepared, and finally found her voice after a while.
"I came with Miss Zhong, and this time I was also stained with her light, and I was able to catch a glimpse of the celebration banquet after the Tai Academy exam. It's you, why are you here? I remember that Jiang Gongzi didn't seem to take the Taixue exam this time. Liang Cheng retracted her gaze and said in a flat tone.
Jiang Chao is now Mr. Yi Yuan's protégé, and it is naturally inconvenient for him to take the big exam in Taixue.
After all, the big exam of Taixue is to select talents, or it can also be said to be a great opportunity for students to show their talents.
But whether it is the selection of talents or the emergence of talents, Jiang Chao is no longer needed now, so he is naturally no longer suitable to participate in the big exam, so as not to waste the great opportunity.
Therefore, before Liang Cheng decided to follow Liang Ji to Taixue to this celebration banquet, she had already thought about the possibility of whether Jiang Chao would also come to the banquet many times.
But it was because she had thought about this matter many times, and in the end, Liang Cheng felt that it was more likely that Jiang Chao, who did not participate in the big exam this time, would not come to the banquet, so she decided to come with Liang Ji.
Otherwise, if she would meet Jiang Chao here, Liang Cheng would not have been so caught off guard.
If she had known that this would be the case, then she might as well let her mother take action at the beginning, and find a reason to leave Liang Ji in the mansion and not be able to come to Taixue for the banquet, even if it would trouble her mother, it would be better than meeting Jiang Chao.
Liang Cheng was a little annoyed at this time, but no matter how annoyed she was, Liang Cheng didn't show it on her face.
"I'm here with my former classmates, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to come to this celebration this time."
Liang Ming's slightly stiff expression, Jiang Chao didn't care, he had already understood her wooden character thoroughly, so at this time, the beautiful peach blossom eyes were still cold, and there was no wave at all.
Looking at Jiang Chao who was so calm, Liang Cheng wanted to run away even more, but just when Liang Ming's words "farewell" had already reached his lips, Jiang Chao suddenly said: "Do you know what happened recently about Mr. Yi Yuan?" ”
Liang Cheng froze, "What happened to the second uncle recently?" ”
What else can happen to the second uncle recently? Now that the woman is no longer there and Shen Yunchong has already revealed the fox's tail, will there be any accidents for the second uncle?
Liang Cheng looked at Jiang Chao a little anxiously, but Jiang Chao only pursed his lips lightly before looking at Liang Cheng and said, "When I went to visit Mr. in the past few days, I found that Mr. is not in a very good condition. ”
"Not in good condition?" Liang Yuan hurriedly asked: "What is the specific bad, do you know what it is .........for?"
Liang Cheng was anxious and immediately wanted to ask Shen Yunlang about the situation, but at this time, someone happened to intervene and interrupted Liang Cheng's words stiffly, "Hey, isn't this the third sister and the second son of Jiang?" ”
Liang Ji? How did she get here?
Jiang Chao and Liang Cheng followed the voice, and saw that the person who spoke was indeed Liang Ji, who was standing not far from Liang Cheng and Jiang Chao at this time, looking at them with a smile.
"Miss Liang Er." Jiang Chao reacted first, turned around and saluted Liang Ji, Liang Cheng followed, and Liang Ji also returned the salute one by one.
In front of outsiders, Liang Ji has always been a down-and-out, gentle, and polite image, and naturally she will not lose her manners at this time, not only to Jiang Chao, but even Liang Cheng and Liang Ji are also good courtesy.
"If I'm not mistaken, Jiang Ergongzi didn't take the big exam this time, so why would he be here."
After Liang Cheng and Jiang Chao finished saluting each other, Liang Ji turned her head to Jiang Chao and asked with a smile, the question was exactly the same as Liang Ming's before.
But Jiang Chao's reaction was exactly the same as when he treated Liang Cheng before, and replied coldly and a little distantly: "It was invited by classmates, so I came to the banquet together." ”
"Oh, I see, but just now I seem to have heard you and the third sister talking about the second uncle, is there something going on on the second uncle's side?" Liang Jiao's coquettish face asked with some curiosity.
"It's nothing, it's just that I asked Jiang Gongzi about the recent situation of my second uncle."
At this time, Liang Ming didn't wait for Jiang Chao to speak, so she immediately took the lead in replying, and Jiang Chao was just silent after hearing Liang Ming's words, and didn't say anything more.
"In this way, how did Jiang Gongzi answer? I haven't seen my second uncle for a long time, and my second uncle has been fine lately, right? ”
Liang Ji looked at Liang Ming, and her smile became more and more soft and charming, as if she didn't notice the difference between Liang Cheng and Jiang Chao just now, and she didn't find that the two of them had hidden anything from her about the conversation just now.
But Liang Cheng knew her second sister too well, so after seeing Liang Ji's smile, she knew that the conversation with Jiang Chao just now was heard by Liang Ji.
As for how much she heard, it's hard to say.
But Liang Cheng didn't mind very much, anyway, Jiang Chao didn't say anything just now, even if Liang Ji listened to them all, it wouldn't be a big deal at all.
Liang Cheng thought about it, and said to Liang Ji: "I didn't say anything, Jiang Ergongzi just told me that the second uncle's spirit has been good recently, and everything else is fine, so I don't need to worry too much." ”
Liang Cheng didn't want Shen Yunlang's news to fall into Liang Ji's ears, she was afraid that Liang Ji would make some articles in it, not to mention that what Jiang Chao was going to talk about next was very likely to be bad news.
Therefore, Liang Cheng was deliberately perfunctory to Liang Ji at this time, and also hoped to perfunctory the past, but how could Liang Ji follow Liang Cheng's wishes?
Glancing at Liang Cheng and then at Jiang Chaohou, Liang Ji smiled and said, "Since the second uncle is fine, it's really good." Jiang Gongzi, it's rare that the two of us sisters can meet an acquaintance like Gongzi here, so it's better to sit down together and talk a few words. ”
Liang Ji looked at Jiang Chao with a coquettish smile, and her expression was really extremely gentle.
But when they fell in Liang Ming's eyes, she felt that it was a little too dazzling, Liang Ji wanted to muddy the waters, and didn't want her to have the opportunity to be alone with Jiang Chao.
But in this way, Liang Cheng couldn't ask Jiang Chao what happened to Shen Yunlang, this was not the result Liang Cheng wanted, but it was an extremely rare opportunity to stay with Liang Ji so closely.
After all, in this way, she can observe Liang Ji's movements more clearly.
"Thank you for the kindness of Miss Two, but I have already made an appointment with the other people in advance, so I have to miss the company first, and I ask Miss Second and Miss Third to forgive me."
But just when Liang Cheng was in a dilemma, Jiang Chao, who had been quiet, suddenly spoke up, not only indifferently but politely declined Liang Ji's invitation, and also got up to say goodbye.
At this time, it is the last bit of sunlight outside the house, and it is the warmest when it falls. The wind, blowing gently, blew the rustle of the leaves of the willows, and gently echoed in the ears, like the clear water of the tinkling dong.
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.
Concubine Meng is one of the four concubines of the first emperor, and the queen of the first emperor has only one in her life, and that is 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.
Li Guifei is a person who is authoritarian and domineering, and has great ambitions, and has always wanted to meddle in national affairs, and when the first emperor was critically ill, she conspired with the imperial doctor to falsely announce the edict, and deceived all the adult princes into the Guangming Palace, and poisoned them all.
In the end, Li Guifei and her father and brother also launched the Chengdemen Mutiny, wanting to establish his three-year-old son as the emperor, if it weren't for the fact that at the last moment, Concubine Meng risked her life to rescue the widow of Empress Yuan Houzhen - Emperor Wen and King Li, who were only eleven years old at the time, and King Li, so that the three princes had a reason to fight back, then it is estimated that Li Guifei's poisonous plan would have been successful.
It's just that after everything was settled, people suddenly discovered that Concubine Meng's eldest son and youngest son had all died in the conspiracy in Guangming Palace.
And these are also so profound and clear in Liang Cheng's previous life, on the eve of his father and mother being beheaded.
