Chapter 291: Mutual Affection

"Second lady, Jiang Gongzi is here. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

But just when Liang Cheng was trying to pretend that nothing happened, and Liang Yong was quietly eating on the side, Shuangyue suddenly walked over and said to Yan with a smile.

And Shuangyue was just such a simple sentence, but Liang Cheng was so frightened that she almost squirted out all the ice bamboo shoots, lilies, and snow plum fragrant cream that she had just eaten.

"Jiang Gongzi, why did he come here from the Tired Lotus Pavilion?" Liang Cheng took the Songmeng handed by the fast-eyed Qingzhu next to him, and after trying to swallow the choked pastry with tea, he hurriedly asked Shuangyue.

"I commanded it. ”

But there was no need for Shuangyue to explain, Yan next to him answered Liang Ming's question with a smile.

"Did the second aunt call him? Liang Cheng said a little speechless and anxious.

"It's just that I often hear your second uncle often mention him, and you also know that your second uncle is stubborn and has a very high vision, if he doesn't look down on someone, then even if the other party is the prince of the dynasty, then your second uncle will only be outspoken. ”

As soon as Shen Yunlang was mentioned, the Yan family immediately looked helpless.

And once it comes to the place of dissatisfaction, it seems to be boundless, only to hear Yan continue to complain as if dissatisfied: "No, in recent times, your second uncle has been ordered by the concubine and her old man to compile a book and revise history with His Royal Highness the Second Prince, but whenever someone asks about His Royal Highness the Second Prince's knowledge, your second uncle only has one sentence 'Er'er', which is really annoying." ”

Shen Yunlang's outspokenness, that can be regarded as a household name in Jian'an, how could Liang Cheng not know.

And not to mention that she did know, she knew a little too well.

After all, even when that incident happened, even when he saw the desperate look of the second uncle, didn't the second uncle still not tell a lie?

Not only treats others, but even treats herself as such an "outspoken" person, except for her second uncle, Liang Cheng really hasn't seen a second one, whether it was before or now.

"But ah, even your second uncle, who is stubborn and has a high vision, has praised Zi Chao Ke, and has praised him in front of me more than once, such a good boy, I haven't seen him for a long time. And not only your second uncle, but even your mother also praised a lot when she talked about Zichao, such a good boy, since he came, how could I not see it often?"

Yan looked at Liang Cheng with a gentle smile.

But every word she said was something that Liang Cheng couldn't refute.

At this point, Liang Cheng suddenly felt the gentle smile of her second aunt. How scary it looks at this point.

Why is there so many women around her who are so powerful?

This will only make her seem more and more ordinary and inconspicuous.

Liang Cheng looked at her second aunt speechlessly, wanting to say something, but she couldn't find any good reason.

After a long time of babbling, he still couldn't say anything.

And when Liang Cheng was racking her brains to do something to change her second aunt's mind, Shuangyue over there had already welcomed Jiang Chao in.

"Jiang Chao said hello to his wife and Aunt Shen. ”

"Okay, okay, don't be polite, let's do it here. Here, naturally, Yan Shi spoke first, she smiled and asked Jiang Chao to get up, and then pointed to Liang Ming's side, and actually let him sit next to Liang Ming.

"Thank you, Mrs. Xie. But maybe Jiang Chao and Liang Cheng really had a very tacit understanding, just when he thanked Yan for his gift to sit down and walked to Liang Cheng who lowered his head, he actually stopped and sat down at a distance from Liang Ming.

And the Shen and Yan families, who saw this situation, looked at each other and smiled, as if nothing had happened.

"Just now, when I sent someone to summon you, what were you doing, and would it disturb you if you were called over so suddenly?" Yan asked with a smile at Jiang Chao, who was sitting with his back straight.

"No, before you sent someone to Xi Yutang, Master, Master and Master Shen were just appreciating the calligraphy of some famous masters, and when I heard that you sent someone to give me an order, Master also asked me to come as soon as possible, so I don't want you and Aunt Shen to wait for a long time." Although Jiang Chao's voice was still cold, the respect in his words was not at all.

"That's good. ”

The Shen and Yan clans were obviously satisfied with Jiang Chao's answer.

Therefore, Yan Shi smiled and continued: "Usually when you come to the mansion, most of them are when I am busy, and there are many slackness, so don't take it to heart. It's rare for Mingyue to bring Mo Ke and Yong'er over today, and I heard that you and Mo Ke were childhood friends who grew up together, so I will call the shots and let people call you over first, Zichao don't mind. ”

"My wife is serious. ”

Better looking than a woman, her long eyelashes like butterfly wings drooped, Jiang Chao got up and replied: "My wife is thinking about Jiang Chao, how can Jiang Chao mind." Besides, Mo Ke and I have indeed been seen for a long time. ”

The cold voice gently swept across the small pavilion, and slowly fell into Liang Cheng's ears.

But such a beautiful voice was like thunder to her at this time.

Sometimes she really feels a little ironic, why does something that she once loved like her life turn into something that she hates to the bone in the end?

It was as if at this moment, it was the words she had prayed for.

But when it finally came out of his mouth, when he could finally hear him confess their pitiful relationship in front of others, in front of her relatives, why did she have only feelings for him that she had to avoid?

"I haven't seen you for a long time, that's too, it's been an eventful time in Jian'an recently, and it's not easy for you to meet it. ”

But he didn't give Liang Yuan, who was still in shock, any time to react, Yan followed Jiang Chao's words and said: "Since you have met you rarely today, then Mo Ke will take you around the mansion, Mingyue and I just have something to say." ”

"Second uncle, don't worry, it's not the first time that Second Prince Jiang has come to the Shen Mansion........."

"Then thank you, my wife. ”

Liang Cheng wanted to strongly oppose her second aunt's proposal, but what she didn't expect was that Jiang Chao would agree so easily, which put her in a dilemma.

After all, anyway, compared with Jiang Chao, Liang Cheng is the host and he is the guest, after the second aunt ordered this, and he has agreed, then in front of her mother, Liang Cheng really has some refusal, but she really doesn't want to be alone with Jiang Chao, if she really leaves with him at this time, then for a long time, won't they have to stay together forever? And it's just the two of them?

Liang Cheng looked at Yan and then at Shen in embarrassment, but the former still had a gentle smile on his face, and the latter just ignored her, which had to make people very depressed.

"Sister, I'm going too. ”

What an endless road!

"Okay, Yong'er, then you can go with me, don't the second aunt and mother have something to discuss, so why do you stay here? Quickly, Yong'er, let's go." ”

No longer giving others a chance to react at all, Liang Cheng led Liang Yong and suddenly stood up, when Shen and Yan were still a little unresponsive, Liang Cheng had already led Liang Yong, who was still bouncing there, and had already walked far away.

"Then the son of the dynasty retired first. Compared with Liang Ming, who slipped away in a hurry and didn't say anything to Shen and Yan at all, Jiang Chao's figure of retreating at this time was too much and too much in Shen's eyes.

Liang Cheng may not have thought of it at all, her move not only made the Shen family, but also the Yan family's impression of Jiang Chao add a lot of points.

But then again, no matter how good the Shen and Yan clans had of Jiang Chao right now, she didn't have time to care about it at this time. Holding Liang Yong tightly, Liang Cheng hurried forward without looking back.

Although Liang Cheng's steps were very urgent, for the energetic Liang Yong, it was nothing at all, it was a piece of cake, so when Liang Cheng left in a hurry without looking back, Liang Yong thought that Liang Cheng was playing with him, and he was very happy, and he took Liang Cheng's hand all the way, walked to the gate of the Tired Lotus Pavilion together, and left here.

"Miss, let's go slower, shall we?" But Liang Yong had no doubts, but Nian Xiang next to him spoke.

"No, why do we have to go slower, the faster the better, I can't wait to grow two pairs of wings at this time. "In that case, maybe you can really get rid of people you don't want to see anymore.

"My good young lady, have you forgotten that there are maids and daughters-in-law sent by the second lady to serve you behind us. What would be good to them, Miss, if you left them like this?"

Nian Xiang didn't hold Liang Cheng's hand and stop her from moving forward, but the few words she said softly had already slowed down Liang Cheng's footsteps, and finally had to stop completely.

Yes, how could she forget, this is the Shen Mansion, how can she and Jiang Chao only have their own family around them, and if the second aunt doesn't send someone to follow her and Yong'er, then how can she rest assured that they will come out alone to wander around.

Don't say it, Liang Yongke is the son of the Zhendong General's Mansion.

Liang Cheng was very unwilling, but what could she do if she was unwilling, at this time she could only stop and wait for the maids and women behind to catch up.

also waited for Jiang Chao to come.

"I thought you would just leave with Liang Sigongzi like that. ”

And when Jiang Chao walked to Liang Cheng's side five steps away from him in a hurry, he suddenly said to her coldly,

"Don't worry, I'll do that if I can. ”

Liang Cheng didn't have to turn her head to look at the young man beside her, she could already imagine the iceberg face when he looked at her.

"I didn't say that. ”

But after a slight pause, Jiang Chao suddenly said something like this, which made Liang Cheng wrinkle slightly, looked at him puzzled, and said, "What do you mean?"

"I've never said anything I hope you would stay away from me. Jiang Chao also turned his head, looked at Liang Cheng with those naturally amorous peach blossom eyes, and said indifferently.

"Oh, is it?" and Liang Cheng actually raised her eyebrows, and looked back at him with some mockery.

Also, it seems that in her memory, he has never said a word to ask her to stay away from him, but he never says it, but always expresses it with actions.

It's like as long as there is a place for her, he will never appear if he can, and it seems that as long as someone mentions him and her childhood sweetheart, then he will definitely deny it indifferently.

The sentence "It's just a matter of childhood, and I have no impression for a long time" can fully make his meaning clear.

He didn't want anything to do with her.

For so many years, he has been implementing this goal from beginning to end, no matter how stupid and dull she is, it is impossible not to know, but the difference is that she didn't want to care about it "back then", and forced herself to ignore all this, ignoring the clear will he had already expressed, and still wishful thinking used her own feelings as a reason to insist.

But now, she didn't want to do that anymore, if he really just wanted to keep his distance from her, then she couldn't ask for it, and this time she would cooperate with him without reservation.

She only hopes that in this life, they can really get along with each other, and it is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes.

"Do you believe it?"

"Believe what. Liang Cheng was still immersed in his thoughts, but Jiang Chao threw out this sentence without a beginning or an end, which made Liang Cheng wrinkle her thin moon eyebrows again.

"Believe these words of your own, and I have not said anything, have you not placed all these things on me?"

"Yes, I put it on you without permission?"

Liang Cheng was suddenly laughed angrily, "Jiang Chao, don't say that the person who has always wanted to draw a line with me is not you." ”

The gentle wind, blowing the gentle petals, suddenly fell all over the sky, and it was the falling snow on the cold plum trees.

Between the branches of a peach tree that had long since withered, I don't know when there was a flower bud.

And it was so coincidental that Jiang Chao stopped under it at this time, and as soon as Liang Ming's words landed, Jiang Chao also just walked under the peach tree, paused, and remained motionless for a while.

At this time, Liang Cheng was standing behind him, and of course she couldn't see what Jiang Chao's expression was like at this time, but despite this, she was not curious at all.

What's more, at the same moment, she has more characters that need to be paid attention to.

"Yong'er, how many times have I told you, don't get close to those two white cranes again, otherwise what if you fall again after a while, you have taken my words as a deaf ear, right?"

Liang Cheng grabbed Liang Yong, who was about to run away secretly, and suddenly stopped him from approaching the two white cranes pecking feathers in the distance.

And the bottom of the heart, which was full of gloom just now, suddenly flowed through a trace of tenderness at this time, and they slowly and gently filled Liang Cheng's glass-like amber eyes.

Especially when looking at a certain little tiger who was forced to fail in his plan and was full of pity, the smile in Liang Cheng's eyes was almost overflowing, if it weren't for the fear of boosting the little tiger's arrogance, she would really have to laugh out loud.

"Yong'er didn't want to go over to tease Bai He, but just now, sister, you and Jiang Er...... Jiang Ergongzi is quarreling, so of course Yong'er has to avoid it quickly. The last word of Second Brother Jiang, Liang Yong finally swallowed it back.

Although the age gap between Liang Yong and Jiang Chao is a little big.

It is impossible to remember the infant days when Jiang Chao used to take care of him very much.

But until a few months ago, he was often asked by someone to call Jiang Chao the memory of Jiang's second brother, but Liang Yong would not forget it.

Although someone has completely distanced himself from Jiang Chao now, Liang Yong can't change his name here for a while.

After all, Liang Yong once wanted to please someone, but he kept obediently calling "Second Brother Jiang" for a long, long time.

And these things, in addition to Liang Yong still remembering, it is naturally impossible for someone to forget.

Liang Cheng looked at Liang Yong, who was making excuses everywhere, and her eyes were flying around, but the smile in her amber pupils suddenly froze, and the smile arc at the corner of her mouth suddenly froze there.

"Yong'er, we didn't quarrel. ”

But before Liang Cheng came back to her senses, Jiang Chao, who had been silent under the peach blossom tree, suddenly spoke.

The peach blossom eyes, which were extremely cold in the past, smiled at this time rarely, and showed a brilliant smile at Liang Yong, so shocked that Liang Yuan, who had just turned around, almost forgot to speak again.

"Yes, Yong'er, I didn't quarrel with Jiang Ergongzi just now, so you don't have to make any more excuses, if you are not allowed to pass, you are not allowed to pass, now the snow is so thick, what if you fall down for a while and catch a cold?"

Liang Cheng turned her gaze back from Jiang Chao's and looked at Liang Yong is scolding.

"Oh. And Liang Yong saw that this trip to the muddy water could not be mixed, so he was no longer dying, but after glancing at Liang Cheng with great grievances, and then at Jiang Chaohou, he stopped talking.

Seeing this, Liang Cheng hurriedly picked up the little tiger while the iron was hot, and prepared to leave here quickly, lest after a while, if the little tiger had any thoughts, he would have to tease the two white cranes, and then it would be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Liang Cheng didn't dare to delay, and pulled Liang Yong to the front, as for Jiang Chao, who had broken Liang Yong's careful thinking just now, Liang Cheng didn't care about it directly.

Although she should thank him, she thought that he probably wouldn't need this thanks, so there was no need to say it.

Liang Cheng led Liang Yong to the front alone.

And Jiang Chao slowly followed.

The group was naturally divided into two groups, but Liang Cheng didn't think it was strange about this, and Jiang Chao didn't think it was strange, so the others naturally didn't say anything.

After leaving the Tired Lotus Pavilion, Jiang Chao and Liang Cheng were originally walking down a little aimlessly, but after a while, even Liang Cheng began to wonder where they were going.

As a last resort, Liang Cheng had no choice but to hurriedly ask everyone to stop and turn her head to look at Jiang Chao.

"Second Master Jiang, do you know where this is?"

"Miss Liang San's question is strange, compared to you, I should be a guest. ”

I don't know if Liang Cheng offended Jiang Chao with something just now, she felt that the coldness in his eyes seemed to be more abundant at this time?

"Since Jiang Er Gongzi doesn't know either, then let's not go any further. ”

But no matter where she accidentally offended him again, Liang Cheng was not ready to take back that sentence, so now she also said directly: "The ancestral mansion covers a wide area, and there are three steps and one courtyard in the mansion, and the winding path of five steps and one scene is deep, if we continue to walk like this, it is very likely to get lost, so now it is better to let the family members in the mansion lead the way for us, I don't know what Jiang Ergongzi thinks?"

"It's all up to Miss Liang San's arrangement. Jiang Chao said indispensably.

"Well, that's it. ”

Jiang Chao's attitude was very cold, but Liang Cheng didn't want to delve into it, so she turned her head and instructed Qingjiao: "Qingjiao, you go and ask the maids and ladies in the back house now to see where this is." ”

"Yes. Qingzhu took the order, turned around and walked to the back of the team in person, and after a while, this neat little girl came back, Qingzhu reported to Liang Mingyu: "Miss, it turns out that this is already close to Mo Guque's back garden, but this is a small road, and few people go to Mo Guque from this road on weekdays, so Miss will feel strange." ”

"I see. Liang Cheng suddenly realized at this time.

It turned out that this was a small road leading to Mo Guque, no wonder she was not impressed, and she had never seen the scenery around her before.

It turns out that this is a remote path, so it's no wonder that Liang Cheng is not familiar with it, originally the Shen Mansion covers such a huge area, and she doesn't dare to say that she has seen all the formal garden courtyards, let alone these bluestone paths.

Liang Cheng subconsciously tightened Liang Yong's little hand, which was looking around curiously, and then instructed Qingyu: "Then you let a maid who knows the way come over and let her take us out." ”

Since I don't know the way, the most important thing now is to go back to the main road first.

Therefore, Liang Cheng instructed Qingqian to find someone who knew the way first.

After a while, under the leadership of the maid who knew Ruth in the Shen Mansion, Jiang Chao and Liang Cheng and his party quickly walked back to the main road in the mansion.

But since this is the main road, it is no longer the same as the direction of the trail.

From here to Mo Guque, it will take a long time.

"Sister, where are we going now?"

And as soon as Jiang Chao and Liang Cheng and his party walked out, Liang Yong looked at Liang Cheng in confusion and asked about the direction they were in.

"I don't know anymore, what about Yong'er, where do you want to go now?" To be honest, Liang Cheng really didn't know where to go now, and she just left the Tired Lotus Pavilion in such a hurry. It's just that I don't want her mother and second aunt to leave Yong'er behind.

But now, after going around in such a big circle and getting lost again, she really doesn't know where to go.

"Let's go back to the Tired Lotus Pavilion. ”

And just when Liang Cheng was a little hesitant, Jiang Chao suddenly spoke, Liang Cheng looked sideways in surprise, but saw the handsome side face of the young man in front of him, which looked so dazzling under the winter sun.

Jiang Chao's skin is excellent, this is something that Liang Cheng has known for a long time, but despite this, although she has been facing this face for more than ten years, but in this retrospective glance, she will still be heartbroken to the point of shock.

Love is long gone, but what about hate?

In people's hearts, no matter how deep the feelings are, they can be so tired that they can't love anymore, but what about hate? Hate can also wait until they are so tired that they don't have any more strength, and then the clouds and fog will disappear?

Liang Cheng wanted to know, just like she thought she had never hated him, but when the bone-eroding and terrifying feelings were finally discovered, she realized that she had never had a big time.

She has never been generous, and she has never been able to put the more lonely and lonely for more than ten years, just like that, and it is so simple when they have never happened.

A married couple for more than ten years, a wife who has existed in name only for more than ten years, and a "loving" couple who have been together for more than ten years.

If she never loved him from beginning to end, then maybe she wouldn't hate him like that anymore, but there was never an if, even if she was lucky enough to have a chance to start over again, but what had happened was still like the mark imprinted on the annual rings, no matter how many times it was turned over, no matter how much dust it was covered, it was always there.

It never went away.

Liang Cheng looked at Jiang Chao's side face and was distracted, and maybe she was a little too engrossed.

So when Jiang Chao also turned his head to look at her, she didn't notice it at all.

"What are you looking at?"

It wasn't until Jiang Chaoru's picturesque eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised to question Liang Cheng that she finally reacted with some surprise.

"No, I didn't see anything. ”

"Really?"

"Of course. Unable to stand Jiang Chao's slightly sarcastic smile, Liang Cheng immediately frowned at the moon.

"Okay, since that's the case, I don't know what Miss Liang San thinks?" and no longer arguing with Liang Ming, Jiang Chao's cold peach blossom eyes looked at Liang Cheng coldly, and asked indifferently.

But just now, Liang Cheng was wandering outside the world with a solid soul, how could she know what Jiang Chao asked her just now, and naturally she couldn't answer anything at this time.

"Yes, sister, Jiang Ergongzi said that he wanted to go back to the Tired Lotus Pavilion, do you think it's good?"

And on weekdays, Liang Cheng really didn't hurt Liang Yong in vain, just when Liang Cheng was a little unable to advance or retreat and was about to be embarrassed, the little tiger suddenly took her hand and said so.

"Go back to the Tired Lotus Pavilion, that's naturally good, presumably the things that my mother and my second aunt want to discuss, and it has already been discussed at this time, so it's just right for us to go back at this time." There was no need for others to say anything at all, Liang Cheng immediately followed Liang Yong's words and borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and mixed up all the things that had just been stunned, and took Liang Yong's hand and prepared to walk in the direction of the Tired Lotus Pavilion.

At this time, Jiang Chao didn't say anything more.

When she saw Liang Ming's sloppy posture, she didn't say anything more to stimulate her.

Jiang Chao just followed behind Liang Cheng and Liang Yong quietly, and quietly turned back in the direction of the Tired Lotus Pavilion, and along the way, he and Liang Cheng never talked again.

It seems that this is the most suitable mode for them to get along, anyway, no matter what the elders think, whether it is Liang Cheng or Jiang Chao, in fact, they already have their own ideas.

Among them, Liang Cheng knows herself best.

No matter why her mother had such a different mind, she has always insisted on her own ideas.

It is absolutely impossible for her to be with Jiang Chao.

No matter what this time, she will not marry into the Jiang family and be the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family.

Therefore, the next thing that needs to be considered urgently by her should be the change in her mother's attitude.

And judging from the performance of the mother and the second aunt when they were in the Tired Lotus Pavilion just now, it is impossible to say that there are factors such as the second aunt or even the second uncle.

Otherwise, how could the second aunt take the initiative to let her take Jiang Chao out of the garden just now?

Liang Cheng pretended to have something in her heart, and her pace naturally sped up a lot, and she took Liang Yong and walked back in the direction of the Tired Lotus Pavilion, and after a while, Jiang Chao and Liang Cheng and their party returned to the Tired Lotus Pavilion again.

But just when Liang Cheng stepped into the Tired Lotus Pavilion with a sigh of relief, the Shen family and the Yan family were gone, and the only one who was still in the pavilion told Liang Cheng a somewhat stunned fact.

"The old lady has just gotten up, and she has sent someone to summon the lady and them over, but just now, Miss you and the fourth master don't know where they are, so the lady ordered the slave to stay and inform you, so that as soon as the young lady comes back, please hurry up and take the fourth master and go over with the second son Jiang. ”

At this time, it is the sun's last bit of residual warmth, and it is 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 reign of Emperor Wen's youth, a great war broke out between Xiyin and Houshu, and it was this great battle that made Liang Hu, the general of Zhendong in Xiyin, begin to show his edge and amaze the world - Liang Hu led the only remaining 100,000 troops in Xiyin at that time to repel the wolf army of Houshu.
