Chapter 179: A Late Autumn Afternoon
"Yes. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
As soon as he heard that he was going to have dinner, Liang Yong, who was still "glaring" at Liang Cheng just now, ran to Liang Cheng with a smile on his face the next moment, and took her to the ear room to take her hand, and Liang Cheng also let him lead him.
After they wiped their hands, the two returned to the lobby and sat next to the Shen family, and the movements of the maids and daughters were also neat, and when Liang Cheng and Liang Yong sat down, the food had already been set on the table.
"Eat. Shen also knew that Liang Yong, the little glutton, couldn't wait, so he didn't say anything more, and went straight to dinner.
And after Shen moved the chopsticks first, Liang Cheng and Liang Yong began to move the chopsticks, among which Liang Cheng was okay, but a certain little tiger was a little breathtaking, and his movements when eating were also very gentle, but the speed was amazing, and it didn't take long for Liang Cheng to eat the dishes that he liked to eat almost nothing under his sweep, and Liang Cheng couldn't laugh or cry.
But when accompanying the Shen family to eat, the rule of eating without sleeping or sleeping is also to be observed, so this dinner is very quiet, but the atmosphere is very cheerful and relaxed.
During this period, Liang Cheng also secretly observed the Shen family several times, but she didn't find anything unusual at all, so she was really relieved, and the atmosphere in the room became more warm.
It's just that it wasn't until after dinner and loose food, when Liang Cheng led Liang Yong to salute Shen and leave, she found that her mother didn't seem to mention her father once tonight, even when they happened to meet Rong Mu in the garden, there was no exception.
Xiao Yunxi
"Where did my father stay tonight? Is it still Yuexiuwu?" As soon as Liang Cheng returned to Xiaoyunxi, he immediately asked Nian Xiang to send someone to inquire which courtyard Liang Sixuan went to tonight, and as soon as the person sent out came back, Liang Cheng couldn't wait to ask Nian Xiang.
"No, the master didn't go to Yuexiuwu, but went back to the Hanging Autumn Pavilion. Nian Xiang reported the news he had just gotten to Liang Yuan.
"Hanging Autumn Pavilion?" Liang Cheng paused, and then frowned slightly, although her father didn't go to Yuexiuwu, but it wasn't what she said, at least six of the ten days, her father rested at Xiao Han's place.
In the remaining four days, you have to count the time when you go to Lantai when the court is busy, you have to count the urgent matters that need to be dealt with in the Hanging Autumn Pavilion or discuss with the strategists, and you also have to count the time you go to other concubines in the palace, such as the time you go to the courtyards of the Yang family and the Zhu family...... Counting everything one by one, Liang Sixuan's reputation for Xiao Han's almost being the favorite of the special room is really well deserved.
What's more, recently, Liang Cheng knows that even if her father stays on the bank of Nanlan River, he is resting in the study or wing.
In the days when it seemed to outsiders to be nothing abnormal from the past, Liang Cheng was a little thrilled to find that the relationship between her father and her mother seemed to be getting more and more estranged.
Although her mother is not an ordinary woman, she is not the kind of person who must rely on the support of her husband, who is the head of the family, in order to survive in the inner court. But despite this, in Liang Yuan's opinion, she naturally doesn't want the relationship between her mother and father to be so estranged.
But Liang Ming's worries are worried, she didn't dare to say anything to Shen about this matter between her father and her mother, except for looking at her mother every time she was a little worried, she really didn't dare to say anything like a clam shell.
Although Shen is fond of Liang Cheng and Liang Yong, this does not mean that she does not have majesty in the hearts of Liang Cheng and Liang Yong, on the contrary, in the hearts of Liang Cheng and Liang Yong, the majesty of their mother's relatives is almost the same as that of Liang Sixuan, and their awe of Shen is no less than that of Liang Sixuan.
Therefore, in the matter between her father and her mother, Liang Cheng did not dare to talk about it at all. At least in front of the Shen family, she was silent.
And judging from Liang Sixuan's recent trend of going to Yuexiuwu more and more often, this afternoon, it is obvious that his father, who has a small dispute with his mother, is not looking for comfort in the gentle township of Yuexiuwu, but has gone to Hanging Autumn Pavilion, which has to make Liang Cheng strange.
Could it be that there is something urgent that my father needs to deal with?
Liang Cheng lowered her head and thought for a while, but suddenly felt a little funny, what can she do in the matter between her father and mother, it is useless to think about it here now, it is better to think about the "big trouble" that is coming soon.
Suddenly there was a faint pain in her temples, Liang Cheng just thought about it for a while, and she suddenly felt that her head seemed to hurt again, how could she be involved in such a troublesome thing?
Liang Cheng wanted to sigh, but she suddenly didn't even have the strength to sigh, so she could only turn around and ask Nian Xiang weakly: "Today, Miss Zhong sent someone to spread the word, saying that at what time will you meet by the Hanshui tomorrow?"
"It's not the time. Nian Xiang replied.
In fact, the night before the Nanpu Incense Festival, Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing made an appointment to go to Hanshui in advance to put lanterns, but Zhong Qing had something to do temporarily, so they didn't go that night, and today Zhong Qing sent someone to pass the word again, inviting Liang Cheng to go to Hanshui tomorrow for a gathering, and Liang Cheng naturally agreed.
Presumably Zhong Qing is also for the last time she missed the appointment, and Liang Cheng only wanted to get this, so she planned to go to bed early, saving herself too much and thinking too much, resulting in poor spirits tomorrow, and then it would be her turn to miss the appointment.
Immediately Liang Cheng also freshened up and bathed, and then went to bed early, although she did not sleep very well this night, but it was also considered to be rested, and the next morning, when she went to ask Shen for peace, her mother did not see that she was not in good spirits, which made Liang Cheng a little relieved.
Although now, whenever she falls asleep, some nightmares that she can't forget will still appear in her dreams, but she doesn't want to worry Shen no matter what.
At this time, seeing that her mother was not frowning, this was a good thing for Liang Cheng, so her mood was a lot better all of a sudden, and she continued until she finished lunch and accompanied Shen to eat, and Liang Cheng left the house after saluting Shen during Liang Yong's lunch break.
……
……
In the late autumn afternoon, the weather is warm, Liang Cheng sat in the carriage, looking out through the bamboo curtain of purple and purple flowers, only to see the pedestrians on the street hurrying, but at the end of the alley, you can still see the old man basking in the sun, they are in the rocking chair, comfortable slightly squinted eyes.
In the bustling streets, there is such a quiet afternoon scenery, which makes people's hearts warm.
"Miss, it's here. Just when Liang Cheng was looking out the window and was a little distracted, Nian Xiang's voice came from outside the carriage, and they had already arrived in Hanshui.
Liang Cheng pushed the car door, boarded the carriage with the support of Nian Xiang, and when she looked up, she saw that even if it was afternoon, the Hanshui was still very prosperous, and there were so many small vendors by the Hanshui that it was really dazzling.
And only in a place with a lot of people can so many small traders gather, which is really too prosperous by the Han River, where almost no matter whether it is a literati or a pawn, on the side of the Han River, it is their favorite place.
The smoke is vast, the lakes and mountains are beautiful, the beautiful scenery above the Han River is illuminated by the golden sun, and the quiet beauty under the cold moonlight at night is another kind of magnificence, even if Liang Cheng is already familiar with the edge of the Han River, but when this scenery falls into her eyes again, Liang Cheng still can't help but sigh in the bottom of her heart.
I really don't know if everything will not change, then in a few years, when people see this fairyland-like Han River, turned into a hell on earth with 100,000 corpses, what kind of feelings will people feel in their hearts?
"Moke!"
Liang Cheng was looking at Han Shui when she was distracted, but a crisp voice like a silver bell suddenly came, Liang Cheng turned her head to look, and saw that not far from her, there was a girl looking at her with a smile at this time.
"Sister Zhong. Liang Cheng also smiled, after she and Zhong Qing officially had a tooth order, they knew that Zhong Qing was two years older than her, so now she calls Zhong Qing "sister", and Zhong Qing directly calls Liang Cheng's small characters.
This is really rare for Liang Cheng, it was originally a great embarrassment for someone like her to accept a new person, not to mention Zhong Qing, a person who has been inextricably linked with Qi Yu?
But in the end, whether it was because of Zhong Qing's kindness and closeness to Liang Ming's efforts, or Liang Cheng's efforts to overcome his own defense line to get Zhong Qing closer, these were no longer so important to Liang Cheng or Zhong Qing.
Liang Cheng looked at the girl who was walking towards her in the sun, and said with a smile: "I thought that I would be the first to arrive before I even arrived at noon, but who knew that you arrived earlier than me." ”
Zhong Qingwan smiled, "It's not like this, it's just that at noon, I accompanied my mother to Shechun, and then I had lunch outside." ”
"I see. Between Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing talking and laughing, they walked to the bank of the Han River together, where there are a lot of people, but Liang Cheng and the two of them have guards to open the way, so they are not crowded, but the two can still talk and stroll all the way, just pacing slowly on the bank of the Han River.
"Moke, I'm really sorry for my missed appointment last time. When she happened to walk outside a small pavilion, Zhong Qing suddenly took the initiative to tell Liang Cheng about the last time she missed the appointment.
"It's nothing, but, Sister Zhong, is there something going on in the house?" Liang Cheng looked at Zhong Qing with some concern, in fact, what she wanted to ask just now was whether something happened to Zhong Shangshu.
But after the words came to her mouth, Liang Cheng finally swallowed it back, when the Zhong family was in some turmoil now, such a direct inquiry would not have any effect, but would make Zhong Qing's mood worse, and her worries about Zhong Shangshu would only intensify.
This is really very understanding for Liang Cheng, who has faced the withering of the family, so even if she is worried about Zhong Qing and the Zhong family at this time, the questions she asks are all after thinking twice.
After all, Zhong Qing at this time looks extremely bright on the surface, and it is no different from usual, but Liang Ming's gloom revealed inadvertently in her eyes can know that this Zhong Qing's heart must not be so calm as she seems on the surface, and the monstrous waves inside must be turbulent.
Liang Cheng didn't want to rub salt on Zhong Qing's wound anymore, so whenever she mentioned Zhong Shangshu and the Zhong family, or even about Zhong Qing and Qi Ling's family affairs, she was subconsciously careful and careful.
But Zhong Qing only smiled very shallowly, and then said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that my father was suddenly temporarily summoned into the palace by His Majesty that night, my mother was worried at the time, and I naturally couldn't leave, so I could only stay with my mother and wait for my father to come back." ”
Zhong Qing said this very easily, but Liang Cheng could imagine what kind of chaos the situation was in the Zhong Mansion at that time.
You must know that this is the most sensitive time, and as long as the huge case of fraud and corruption in Wenzhou is not resolved, the danger of Zhong Shangshu will not be solved, after all, by now, this matter is not only related to disaster relief, it has even been involved with King Li.
And this is something that has never happened at all in the previous life, and Liang Cheng doesn't dare to assert anything now.
It's just that King Li's identity is special, and Emperor Wen is very concerned about this matter at this time, and his attitude is also very strict, as if a bloody catastrophe may break out at any time. And in the center of this storm, the officials actually exist there.
How could Zhong Shangshu, the number one leader of the ministry, get rid of the slightest relationship at this time? There is no need to think about it, no matter what the final outcome is, the ministries will definitely be purged.
Zhong Shangshu's precariousness, now I am afraid that except for Zhong Qing and the Zhong family, no one can understand it more clearly than them, and at this time, it only takes a small holy decree to summon the palace to make the Zhong family restless.
When the Zhong family is chaotic and uneasy, it must not be understandable to outsiders.
Liang Cheng turned around, and when she looked at Zhong Qing's still smiling face, her heart suddenly became sour, but she was sad, but not only Zhong Qing, but more importantly, Liang Cheng remembered the previous life, when Liang Sixuan was raided and imprisoned, and a once glorious and prosperous wealthy family collapsed overnight, how could her mood be exactly the same as the current Zhong Qing?
Even if Liang Cheng was already the wife of the Jiang family at that time, there would be no danger of being implicated, but when those who once loved or hated were imprisoned and executed one by one, and the family was withering at a very fast speed, she herself didn't expect that she would be so desperate.
She once thought that the place that had sent her to the boundless hell would never have the slightest emotion again. (To be continued.) )
