Chapter 162: Little Clouds in the Afternoon
Even if Xu Zhao didn't release water to Liang Yong, and the homework assigned was very rigorous, but for Liang Yong, it was still very simple, so Liang Yong's time to play recently was not ordinary. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liang Cheng didn't need to think too much, she could predict that after their grandfather returned, the little tiger would have a long period of adaptation.
Looking at Liang Yong's little head, which was wilted immediately, Liang Cheng rubbed his soft hair funny, and just wanted to comfort Liang Yong for a while, but suddenly an announcement came from outside the door: "Madam is here." ”
"Mother?" Liang Cheng hurriedly asked Qingyu to help her get up.
"Lie down for me. ”
But a gentle indifferent word immediately made Liang Cheng sit on the kang obediently and did not move, only Liang Yong jumped off the kang and respectfully saluted Shen, and then immediately ran over and hugged Shen, "Mother, you also come to see my sister." ”
"Hmm. Shen gently touched Liang Yong's chubby face, but when he looked up at Liang Yong, he frowned slightly, "Why don't you rest well, and go to the window to sit again." Although the curtains are covered, there will still be wind blowing in, have you forgotten the doctor's instructions, don't you get cold again?"
"Mother, I feel bored. In the face of Shen's coldness, Liang Cheng was not afraid at all. After Shen led Liang Yong to the kang and sat down, Liang Cheng was even more tired of Shen's arms.
And although Shen had a cold face, when he saw Liang Cheng pestering her, Shen not only didn't get angry, but also reached out and took the stone blue moonlight cloak that was resting aside and put it on Liang Cheng, "I can't do this if I feel bored, I won't be here by the window next time, you know?"
"Got it, mother. Although she was a little sorry for the scarcity of sunlight on the big kang near the window, Liang Cheng nodded obediently, and drilled into Shen's arms again.
If he hadn't been sick, he wouldn't have had such an opportunity to be coquettish in his mother's arms.
Liang Cheng happily snickered in Shen's arms, and Shen gently pulled Liang Cheng's black hair like a cloud, because she was recuperating at home, Liang Cheng naturally didn't make up, her long hair was draped casually, so she let Shen comb it for her, "Have you drunk the medicine?"
"Not yet. If it hadn't been for Shen mentioning it, Liang Cheng would have forgotten the medicinal soup that was still on the side, "Mother, Yong'er suddenly came just now, so I forgot it for a while, I'll drink it now." ”
Without waiting for Shen's reprimand, Liang Cheng hurriedly asked Qingyu to bring the medicine over, raised his head and drank it. For Liang Yuan, who grew up in a medicine jar since she was a child, this bit of suffering is really nothing. But just after Liang Cheng finished drinking the medicine, she saw Shen hand over the box of preserved fruits that Qingzhu had always kept in the tray.
"Mother. Liang Cheng looked at Shen Shi a little stunned.
"That medicine is too bitter. Shen's tone was still indifferent, and his words were concise, but Liang Cheng's eyes instantly turned red.
"Cry for what. ”
"No, no, it's just really too bitter. Liang Cheng took the preserved fruit handed by Shen, picked one up and swallowed it, and immediately threw herself into Shen's arms and didn't come out, she really didn't expect that what she had been hoping for would come true, and there would really be such a day, her mother could make her coquettish and bitter after she drank the medicine.
In her memory, such a scene that seemed to only appear in dreams forever had now come true, how could Liang Cheng not be touched?
Liang Cheng couldn't get out of Shen's arms, and Shen's face was indifferent, but with Liang Cheng, Liang Yong, who could still sit obediently next to him, grinned, and simply plunged into Shen's arms and quarreled with Liang Ming.
In the small clouds in the afternoon, bursts of laughter gently floated far away, so far.
……
……
"By the way, what about the second sister, how is the situation of the second sister?"
The Shen family was in charge of Liang's family, and there was not much time to relax, so after staying with Liang Cheng in Xiaoyunyu for a while, he was invited back to Nanlan Creek by the housekeepers one by one. When leaving, Liang Yong, who had been sticking to Liang Cheng, was also caught practicing calligraphy and reading, so now Liang Cheng is ready to lie down and sleep for a while.
But when Liang Cheng returned to the inner room and lay flat on the tourmaline cloud foot jujube bed, she suddenly asked Nian Xiang about Liang Ji.
After returning to the Zhendong General's Mansion from the Qingguo Mansion, Liang Cheng was in a coma for several days, and after she woke up, she told Shen that she was in the ice cellar and that she had seen Yin'an's affairs with her own eyes.
Although Liang Cheng already knew that Yin'an was frozen to death in the ice cellar at that time, she still told Shen about it.
At that time, Shen's pupils narrowed sharply after listening, but he never asked Liang Cheng a word, do you see clearly? After Liang Cheng finished speaking, Shen only told her, "Don't tell your father about this." ”
yes, don't tell your father.
What would have happened if Liang had told her father about Yin'an splashing water in the ice cellar?
The worst result is probably to listen to the words of Liang Ji, who is also a "victim" this time, and believe that she was also betrayed by a wolf-hearted maidservant, and then like Liang Cheng, she was a bitter master who was murdered by Yin'an, but even sat with Yin'an's relatives of the Zhu family, who were thousands of miles away. And the best result is that after the father convicted Yin of the crime of murdering the master's family, he severely punished Liang Ji for the crime of lax discipline.
But other than that, what else will my father do? I won't do anything, even thinking about how bold Yin'an is just a little maid, how bold she must be, how much grudge she has to have with Liang Cheng, so that she is not afraid of the relationship between relatives, friends and family members being imprisoned and executed, and insists on murdering her?
Father is afraid that there is no possibility that he will even think of Liang Ji, and if she dares to mention to her father that Yin'an was basically on Liang Ji's order, and poured the basin of hot water on her, then her father would be the first to reprimand her for planting her siblings in vain, and her heart can be punished, right?
's father has long been too partial to Liang Ji, and if she and Liang Ji's positions are reversed today, what will the result be?
Just thinking about it makes me feel cold.
Maybe his father wouldn't believe Liang Ji's words like that, but he definitely wouldn't think that Liang Ji wanted to frame her, at most he just thought that Liang Ji was wrong. Father, he will never think about Liang Ji in any bad direction, in his heart, among his three daughters, the most like him is not Liang Yao, the eldest daughter, nor Liang Cheng, the concubine, he feels that the daughter who is most like him is Liang Ji.
Liang Cheng knew these very well a long time ago.
So when her mother told her like that, telling her not to tell her father about Yin'an, she nodded without any hesitation. Seeing her like this, her mother was still a little surprised.
Presumably her mother thought that she was still the child who would cry bitterly because of her father's partiality for Liang Ji.
But in fact, she was not a long time ago.
She was no longer the child, who would only stand behind her father and weep bitterly, but only hoped to get his attention. A long time ago, she already knew that in her father's heart, Liang Ji was his most beloved daughter.
But even so, Liang Cheng has nothing to complain about Liang Sixuan, as her father, he is good to her. Even if she can't compare to Liang Ji, she doesn't doubt that her father cares about her, otherwise in the Qingguo Mansion that night, her father would not have come so timely, and after seeing her in a coma, he would not have been so angry.
Although some of it was for her and some for Liang Ji, Liang Cheng didn't want to think about it anymore.
It's just that now she has been recuperating in Xiaoyun for so long, and her health is almost better, and at this time, she finally asked about Liang Ji's situation for the first time.
"That day in the ice cellar, the second miss was in a better condition than the second miss, but the second miss was not splashed with water by anyone, and when she was rescued, she was just a little colder, just drink a bowl of warm ginger soup, which is like miss, she has been sick in bed for so long. ”
Liang Cheng asked Nian Xiang, but the person who answered was Qingxiang, she said extremely angrily, especially when she talked about "being splashed with water", Qingxiang became more and more indignant.
"Oh, it seems that the second sister is very good. ”
Unlike Qingyu's anger, Liang Cheng was very calm, and since Liang Cheng was carried back to the Zhendong General's Mansion from the Qingguo Mansion, the Shen family did not allow anyone to visit on the grounds that illness would be contagious. Therefore, whether it is Liang Ji or Liang Yao, they have not been able to come to Xiaoyunyao to visit during the period when Liang Cheng is recuperating, so Liang Cheng only knows Liang Ji's condition now.
"Miss, why do you still care about Second Miss, let's not mention her. Qingzhu said angrily.
Liang Cheng chuckled, "Silly girl, as long as I am in the Liang Mansion for a day, how can I not meet the second sister? ”
Qingyu was stunned, but she was still very angry, but what Liang Cheng said was also the truth, so after the corners of her mouth sobbed for a long time, she still didn't say anything, so she could only sulk by herself, Liang Cheng saw her like this, so she had to smile and comfort a few words, and then she was really ready to rest.
Seeing this, Qingyu and Nian Xiang didn't say more, and after putting down the curtain, the two retreated to the outer room, and the room was silent for a while, only the sound of gentle breathing remained.
This time, Liang Cheng and Liang Ji were locked in the ice cellar of the Qingguo Mansion, which was just a recurrence of an old disease, and the people who clearly knew the reason for this were not more than a palm, and this result was also agreed by the Shen family.
Therefore, Zhou Feiwei was suddenly married far away, and after the Qingguo Mansion also found a reason to perfunctory a few words to the outside world, Mrs. Zhou sent Zhou Feiwei away as quickly as possible, and when Liang Fei was almost well, Zhou Feiwei had already been away from Beijing for a long time.
As for why Mrs. Zhou of Qingguo Gong once strictly interrogated Zhou Feiwei for why she did this, she just cried and said, but she just wanted to teach Liang Cheng a lesson, but she definitely didn't buy Yin'an, let her splash water and put Liang Ji in the ice cellar together, which Shen told her very casually one day.
In this regard, Liang Cheng did not react, compared to Zhong Qing's long sigh, Liang Cheng was relatively much more indifferent.
"Miss Tuesday's marriage this time can be described as very cold, it is said that the dowry is thin, and the number of people accompanying her is less than 100 people. ”
Today, Zhong Qing came to visit Liang Cheng in the Zhendong General's Mansion early in the morning, and Liang Cheng was also warmly entertained, at this time, the two were eating tea and chatting in Xiaoyunyu, which inadvertently talked about Zhou Feiwei, Zhong Qing shook his head and sighed, while Liang Cheng lowered his eyes and was silent.
Seeing this, Zhong Qing knew that Liang Cheng didn't want to talk about it, so after she sighed again, she stopped the topic.
That night in the Qingguo Mansion, Zhong Qing was personally present, about Zhou Feiwei, Zhong Qing also knew that she was self-inflicted, if she didn't have the intention of harming others, and finally didn't personally push Liang Cheng out of the ice cellar, then why is it today's result?
It's just that......
Zhong Qing looked at Zhou Feiwei, but she couldn't help but think of herself at the beginning, did she also hurt others and herself like this at that time?
The sigh came out involuntarily, but Zhong Qing would not affect the mood of others because of this, she looked at Liang Cheng, and suddenly remembered one more thing, and couldn't help but smile and asked: "By the way, there is a question that I have always wanted to ask you." ”
"What's the problem? Sister Zhong, excuse me. Zhong Qing's sudden question made Liang Cheng look up at her in surprise.
"That night in the ice cellar of the Qingguo Mansion, Prince Chu Gu personally carried you out and handed you over to me, presumably even if I don't need to say more, you yourself would have known about it a long time ago, right?" Zhong Qing looked at Liang Cheng with a smile in her eyes.
"Uh-" Liang Cheng was choked for the first time, yes, she did know it a long time ago, unlike her mother, when Zhong Qing commanded her mother-in-law to carry her back to the Concubine Embroidery Pavilion, Zhong Qing briefly told the Shen family about the Remnant Yang Xiaolou and the aftermath, which made the Shen family think that Zhong Qing was Liang Cheng's savior.
But in fact, it was because of Chu Gu's gesture, and Zhong Qing didn't know if it was correct to say that Chu Gu personally carried Liang Cheng out of the ice cellar with a soaked body, so in the end, Zhong Qing was silent, and the people Chu Gu and the people he sent to inform him from the Remnant Yang Xiaolou were only the people she sent out to follow Liang Cheng earlier.
Therefore, the Shen family did not know about the part about Chu Gude.
However, Liang Cheng knew as early as when she was trapped in the ice cellar that the person who would rescue her could almost only be Chu Gu.
Although she never thought that she would be like Liang Ji back then, by showing kindness to Chu Gu at the end of the Han Dynasty, she would be able to ask for him, but even if she only knew him by herself, she could know what kind of person he was who would take revenge and repay his kindness, so how could he turn a blind eye to her and not save him?
To put it mildly, she's still his savior!
Liang Cheng also expected this, so she dared to take a risk, and the result was very satisfactory.
When Yin An came to the ice cellar, Chu Gu, who had been following her and Zhou Feiwei from the Remnant Yang Xiaolou, must have seen them all clearly. For Liang Ji, presumably his perception will change greatly again.
Thinking of this, the corners of Liang Yuan's mouth couldn't help but bend, revealing a smile like a summer flower, which made Zhong Qing look slightly stunned before he smiled: "It seems that Sister Liang, you have a good relationship with that Chu Gu Gongzi." ”
"Huh?" Liang Cheng's reaction was slow for a while, and then she quickly shook her head and denied it: "No, Sister Zhong, you misunderstood, I and Chu Gu Gongzi are just a few sides, really, don't misunderstand......"
"What did I misunderstand?" Zhong Qing choked Liang Cheng again with a light sentence.
"I'm just saying that you have a good relationship with Chu Gu Gongzi, what's wrong with this?" Zhong Qing looked at Liang Ming's little face that was gradually suffocating, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was really about to break through. This feeling of 30 years in the east of the river and 30 years in the west of the river, the feeling of feng shui taking turns is really not bad.
Zhong Qing looked at Liang Cheng with a smile, but Liang Cheng felt that her whole body was about to burn, and she finally knew what Zhong Qing felt when she had been teasing her a few times before.
"Ahem!"
However, Liang Cheng finally reluctantly calmed down, and after she coughed, she hurriedly changed the topic and said, "How is Zhong Shangshu lately?"
Zhong Qing paused, and then shook his head with a slightly bad face, "That's it, there's nothing good or bad, it's just that things are getting more and more serious, and my father is also very tired these days." ”
Liang Cheng sighed: "It's too coincidental this time, everything happened together." ”
Yes, it's really a coincidence, first in Wenzhou, a huge case of corruption and fraud was exposed, and the culprit pointed directly at the officials. Later, he received an anonymous memo in the court, saying that officials of the Ministry of Officials had accepted bribes without permission and bought and sold official titles......... One by one, it seems that they are all heading towards the ministry, and Zhong Shangshu, the head of the ministry, can be seen how anxious he has been recently.
It is said that two days ago, even Emperor Wen, who had not yet gone to court, had personally summoned Zhong Shangshu and scolded Zhong Shangshu for being bloody.
"My father has been so anxious for the past two days that he can't even eat. But the matter in Wenzhou is getting bigger and bigger the more you investigate, and now even His Royal Highness King Li seems to be involved, and my father is almost in a hurry. ”
Liang Cheng's expression was still very calm, but it changed in an instant.
Who is King Li, that is Emperor Wen's siblings, especially when the two were still young and experienced the upheaval together, the relationship between Emperor Wen and King Li is also more different from the royal brothers of previous dynasties, it is too good to be extraordinary, and the power that Emperor Wen issued to King Li is also unique.
In the history of Xiyin, it is the only one in Xiyin to enjoy such a large fief like King Li, and to be able to raise and train more than 100,000 private soldiers.
But this is the only King Li, and now Zhong Qing said that Wenzhou's huge case of greedy ink involved him? Liang Cheng is not surprised now, if this matter is really related to King Li, then the nature of this matter can change immediately.
"Sister Zhong, where did you know about the news related to His Royal Highness King Li?"
Looking at Liang Ming's solemn expression, Zhong Qing was not surprised, she also knew the importance of this place, but Zhong Qing was silent for a while before she whispered to Liang Ming: "I heard it from His Royal Highness Qi Xuan. ”
"His Royal Highness Qi Ling, it doesn't seem that there is any basis for that. "Since it was said from Qi Ling's mouth, he must have heard it from the second prince or the second prince's concubine Yang, otherwise anyone else should not be able to get anything about King Li.
But the more this is the case, the more tricky it will be, no wonder Zhong Qing is so worried when she talks about it, this matter is indeed very difficult to do.
If it is confirmed that King Li also has a role in the Wenzhou corruption case, then Zhong Shangshu's black gauze hat may not be able to be saved. Moreover, with the anger of Emperor Wen that can be seen by Liang Cheng, I am afraid that it will not only be Zhong Shangshu who will suffer at that time, but even the entire officials will be washed in blood.
Otherwise, how should Emperor Wen's anger be calmed?
With Emperor Wen's most important name, he will not do anything to protect King Li, and there will be no shortage of people who will bury King Li.
Thinking of this, Liang Yuan's face became a little more solemn, she remembered that in her previous life, King Li didn't have this one, after Emperor Wen died, King Li took the holy decree written by Emperor Wen in advance, and swaggered back to his fiefdom with Concubine Meng, sitting on 100,000 elite soldiers.
Even if Jian'an was troubled in the future, and how many battles and battles were in Emperor Xiyin, King Li was not involved to the sporadic extent, and even until that cold winter night, as far as Liang Cheng knew, King Li was still alive and well on his fiefdom, how could he be involved in some Wenzhou corruption and fraud case?
Liang Yuan's head began to hurt again.
Seeing this, Zhong Qing hurriedly asked, "Sister Liang, are you okay?"
Liang Cheng smiled reluctantly, "It's okay, it's just some old problems, it's not a big deal." It's Sister Zhong, you don't have to worry too much, presumably this matter is clarified, and it may not necessarily be related to His Royal Highness King Li. ”
Before that, if there was anything important, then now there was nothing, except for King Li, it was really easy to say anything.
Zhong Qing sighed lightly, "I hope so." Now in addition, she really doesn't know what to say, she has been busy just to prepare for her family affairs, but now that the Wenzhou incident comes out, the atmosphere at home is a little different.
And if King Li's matter comes true in the end, then the father will definitely follow the accident, and then whether she and Qi Ling can still get married is a matter of two words, no wonder the mother has been speeding up the preparations for her family affairs recently, while the second princess Yang has gradually slowed down.
"Sister Zhong, didn't His Royal Highness Qi Ling say anything?"
"Huh?"
Zhong Qing, who was almost immersed in his own thoughts, was almost jumped up in surprise by Liang Cheng's sudden words, and Liang Cheng looked at Zhong Qing's surprised look, but smiled suddenly, "It seems that my vision is not wrong." (To be continued.) )
