Chapter 270: Timely Rain
In front of Liang Sixuan and the Shen family, if Liang Cheng could help her, she really didn't have such confidence. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although she has experienced an incredible rebirth and has more memories of a life that others do not have, in front of her father and mother, Liang Cheng can't even afford to have a big mind.
Because no one knows better than her what kind of amazing characters her father and mother are.
No matter who it is, as long as you dare to play smart in front of them, you don't know how you really died.
And Liang Cheng would not make such a stupid mistake, so of course she didn't dare to think that her father and mother couldn't handle it, but she could solve it.
On the contrary, if even her father and mother are helpless, then she should be more cautious, and even hide as far as she can, not to explain that she protects herself, at least she has to not drag her father and mother back.
But now things beyond her memory are happening one by one, so much that Liang Cheng thinks that it is her memory that is wrong, not the change in this life.
In the winter months, the sky has always been dark early.
It's just the beginning of the day, but it's already nightfall outside, and the entire Zhendong General's Mansion is also brightly lit.
Xiao Yunyu is no exception, especially today when the Shen family just left, and there has been such a big change on Qi Yu's side, even if Liang Cheng is iron, now he feels a little relieved.
So today she let the kitchenette boil water early and prepared to take a bath and rest.
"Miss, the water has been boiled, and the ear room is ready, can you go over now?" Nian Xiang, who came from the ear room, asked Liang Cheng.
"Let's go now. ”
Liang Cheng nodded, and then instructed Nian Xiang to accompany Liang Yong, who was practicing calligraphy, here, and walked in the direction of the ear room, but at this time, Qingyu just opened the curtain from the outside and entered the house, and said to Liang Cheng as soon as she came in: "Miss, Miss Zhong is here." ”
Liang Cheng was stunned, "At this hour?"
Qingyu also replied with some doubts on her face: "Yes, I am in the flower hall in front of me now." ”
The relationship between Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing is good, this is no longer news in Jian'an, not to mention that it is still the Zhendong General's Mansion, so as long as Zhong Qing comes to visit now, if there is no other special instructions from Liang Cheng, the concierge will let Zhong Qing enter the mansion and wait first.
Therefore, after Liang Cheng was slightly stunned, she hurriedly sent Qingqian to the front to welcome Zhong Qing in.
"Mo Ke, I'm really embarrassed to bother me at this hour. ”
Stepping on the gorgeous lights everywhere, Zhong Qing, who was dressed in a bright red brocade skirt sprinkled with gold threads, walked into Xiao Yunxiao with a smile and joked at Liang Ming.
Sister Zhong said with a smile, if you want to come, it doesn't matter how late it is, it's just that it's the father and mother, Sister Zhong may have to ask for the guilt. Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing walked into the house side by side, and replied with a smile.
"You, you really don't lose at all. ”
The two of them talked and laughed and walked all the way to the main room, and as soon as Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing stepped into the house, they both changed their expressions at the same time.
"Sister Zhong, has something happened?" Liang Cheng asked in a deep voice.
"This morning, the concubine and her old man have agreed to His Royal Highness Qi Yu's petition to go to Shanhaiguan. The corners of Zhong Qing's eyes and eyebrows were already dyed with a faint cold color at this time, and her tone was very bad.
"I already know that. ”
"His Royal Highness Qi Xuan's petition was also accepted by the concubine and her old man. ”
"What?" Liang Cheng was so shocked that she almost got up from the kang, she looked at Zhong Qing in disbelief, and wanted to ask if she had just heard something wrong, but when Liang Cheng met Zhong Qing's eyes, she fell silent and didn't ask anything more.
"In the past two days, the matter of General Liang must have made the General Mansion of Dezhendong a little turbulent, so now the war on the front line must have been paid attention to by Mo Ke, and you must not know that two days ago, our army was defeated in the battle with Hou Shu, and Hou Shu actually killed 20,000 prisoners of war in my Xiyin. ”
If Zhong Qing's last sentence just made Liang Cheng a little unbelievable, then this sentence now has made Liang Cheng like five thunderbolts.
No wonder.........
No wonder, no wonder my grandfather, no matter how much his father and mother persuaded him, he was determined to put on his armor again and go to the front line in person.
No wonder the concubine and her old man changed their minds overnight and agreed to Qi Yu's petition to go to Shanhaiguan in person.
No wonder my father and mother have been so exhausted in the past two days, no wonder - it turns out that everything has a reason, it turns out that all this is because there is no escape, there is no escape.
Therefore, the grandfather had to retake the handsome seal at an advanced age, and the concubine and her old family had to put the feelings of cherishing their grandchildren behind the country first, so they chose to let Qi Ling, the royal lineage, go to the battlefield in person, just to boost the morale of the army.
Although Liang Cheng knew that the battle situation on the front line was not optimistic, what she didn't expect was that the situation had become so bad.
Xiyin's army, in front of the Houshu Gate Lords Alliance, who was basically of one heart and one mind, was defeated and retreated without even the strength of a battle, and now, even the shameful and humiliating thing of 20,000 prisoners of war being killed has happened.
Over the years, where has the Western Yin Xiong army, which was able to deter Houshu from surrendering with only tens of thousands of troops?
Over the years, where has the strong army of Xiyin, which was established by my grandfather with all his efforts and defended the stability of the Xiyin border for decades, gone?
Winter nights have always been cold.
But whether it is Liang Cheng or Zhong Qing, at this time, they all feel that no matter how cold the winter is, it turns out that it is just like this.
The crackling, slight sound of silver frost charcoal burning, in the overly silent room, seemed so clear, so clear that people had to wonder if they had heard it wrong.
But when the snow suddenly falling outside the window, and the slight sound of the cold wind blowing through the treetops, all seemed so clear in the middle of the night, people knew that they had not heard it wrong.
It's that the room is so quiet, so quiet that they can feel their sorrows.
This winter, it's really a little too cold!

*****
As soon as the news that Qi Ling and Qi Yu's petition to go to Shanhaiguan was approved by Concubine Meng, the entire Jian'an Ke was lively, and the second princess, Yang Shi, became the most worried person.
Originally, at the beginning, when Qi Ling had this idea, the second princess Yang was still a little determined, and she was sure that no matter how Qi Ling messed around, as long as Concubine Meng was there, it would be impossible for Qi Ling to make any big trouble.
But overnight, everything changed.
In front of Shanhaiguan, the retreat of Xiyin, the critical survival of Xiyin, in front of these, whether it is Qi Ling or the second princess Yang, everything has to retreat.
Therefore, even if the second princess Yang was a hundred unwilling to do anything about this matter, she couldn't say anything.
In the face of national issues, everyone's interests have to be put in the latter place, and it is impossible for the second princess Yang not to know this truth, so although it is unacceptable, the second princess Yang still can't say anything.
Then let alone bother with others at this time.
And Qi Yu may have taken advantage of this loophole, taking advantage of the fact that the second princess Yang had no time to pay attention to him, he actually followed behind Qi Ling and escaped from the grasp of the second princess Yang who could restrain him.
This is a great fortune for Qi Yu.
It can even be said that the continuous defeat of the front line is a huge disaster for Xiyin, but for Qi Yu, it is a timely rain.
This timely rain not only rescued him from the muddy predicament, but also gave him a wide stage that he had always dreamed of, so that he could play his strength without scruples from now on.
But this is a great luck for Qi Yu, but it is really bad news for Liang Yuan.
If the situation in Shanhaiguan can be better, Liang Cheng can comfort herself, and her grandfather will be fine.
But now the news of the defeat has come one after another, but the only reason for Liang Cheng to comfort herself is almost gone, Shanhaiguan is in such a bad state now, so my grandfather went to the front line, didn't he just go to the fire pit?
Knowing that there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, but her grandfather is still so indomitable, which makes Liang Cheng not even know how to vent her anger, in the face of her grandfather's mind, she seems to be blaspheming this mind for the country and the people no matter what she does.
Liang Cheng is really powerless.
Therefore, for the affairs of Qi Yu and these people, she suddenly felt that it didn't matter.
No matter what happens to Qi Yu in the end, is the result the same as in the previous life, since Qi Yu has built his own system and forces, Liang Cheng is not interested.
Since Zhong Qing's visit, Liang Ming, who was already very silent, has become more and more quiet.
often sits by the window for an afternoon, even Liang Yong is messing around with her, it is difficult to make Liang Cheng have any spirit, which inevitably makes De Qingyu and Nian Xiang worried.
"Miss, what's the matter?" Qingyu glanced at Liang Yuan, who was in a daze on the big kang near the window in the warm pavilion, turned her head and whispered to Nian Xiang beside her.
"I don't know, it probably has something to do with what Miss Zhong said last night. ”
When Zhong Qing came to visit last night, Qingzhu and Nian Xiang were both waiting on the side, and the two of them naturally knew exactly what Zhong Qing said to Liang Ming, so Qingzhu was a little puzzled: "But the matter of His Royal Highness Qi Ling and His Royal Highness Qi Yu shouldn't have much to do with our young lady." ”
Liang Cheng doesn't like Qi Yu as a person, Qingzhu and Nian Xiang couldn't be clearer.
Therefore, they naturally don't associate the reason for Liang Cheng's bad mood with Qi Yu, whether he goes to the battlefield or not, his own young lady should not worry about him.
"The news that Miss Zhong brought last night is not only this, isn't there also news from the front. Nian Xiang said in a low voice.
"News from the front?"
Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, and then her face slowly became a little bad, and then she didn't say anything more, just quietly lowered her head and continued to play the rope in her hand.
"Sister Qingzhu, Sister Nianxiang. But at this moment, a small voice suddenly sounded outside the door, and shouted in a voice that only the two people outside could hear.
"Lirui, why are you here?"
It turned out that the person who came was Liang Wu's eldest maid Lirui, and Qingzhu and Nian Xiang hurriedly got up to welcome them.
Although Liang Yuan's status in the mansion is no longer comparable to when the Han family was still there, but just looking at Liang Yuan's attitude towards Liang Wu and Liang Mao, the two of them will not slack off the Tailoring Academy.
And since Liang Cheng inadvertently extended a helping hand to Liang Mao last time, the people of the two courtyards have become closer and closer, and even the relationship between Qingjiao, Nianxiang and Lirui is also a lot more harmonious.
"Didn't I hear you say yesterday that the third master has been feeling a little unwell recently, why do you still have time to come over now?" Qingyu and Nian Xiang took Lirui's hand and walked to the side of the flower hall next to them, and asked a little strangely as they walked.
"The eldest lady sent me over to find the third miss. Lirui hurriedly replied.
"Is there something wrong with the eldest lady looking for the third lady?"
"It's the third master, didn't I mention to the two sisters yesterday that the third master was unwell, and today it seems that the condition is getting worse, but the lady is not there, and the master has not returned to the house, so the eldest lady ordered me to ask the third lady, can you let the third lady come forward and invite the doctor into the house. ”
Lirui looked at Qingyu and Nian Xiang with some apprehension and said, that somewhat cautious tone, as if she was afraid that they would refuse to speak for her.
"Why didn't you say it earlier, this is a big deal. ”
Qingyu took the lead and hurriedly stood up and walked outside, while Nian Xiang paused, patted Lirui's hand and comforted: "Lirui, you hurry back to avoid the eldest lady, just say that the doctor will come in a while, please don't worry about her." ”
After hurriedly speaking, Nian Xiang also hurriedly walked to the main house, at this time the Shen family was not in the mansion, but the Yang family was still not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the inner courtyard.
In addition to the fact that the Shen family had arranged the housekeeper in detail before leaving, in the inner courtyard of the Zhendong General's Mansion, except for the Shen family, the highest status was Liang Ming's concubine.
What's more, before Shen left, she had solemnly ordered to go down, and during her absence in the mansion, Liang Cheng had the right to decide things.
Although this is for the inner courtyard of the Zhendong General's Mansion, which has formed a stable and independent acting system, there is nothing for Liang Cheng to decide things at all.
But Shen can say this, but he has already given Liang Cheng the greatest right.
Therefore, at this time when Liang Sixuan and Shen were not there, Liang Wu wanted to invite the doctor into the house, so she could only come to Liang Yuan, or go to the front yard to find Jinghai as a steward.
