At night, the wind rose, his clothes were not dry, Liang Ping was wearing thin, and he had goosebumps on his body. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ He found some more wood and threw it into the fire to make sure he could dry his clothes, found a corner, covered it with some hay and went to sleep.
"It's been raining a lot lately. β
"Yes, since the day when people came from Guitang Village, this rain has rarely stopped. Counting the days, more than a few months have passed since that day, but Guitang Village has not sent anyone over, which is really strange. β
"They will never give up, in addition to Guitang Village, there are also a lot of large and small forces these days, ostensibly to congratulate and reminisce, but who is not chasing interests. β
"Well, this is also the reason why I let Yu Xin listen to every time I meet guests these days, at this time, I can't just let Yu Xin read and practice, he should have an understanding of the future situation. β
"What the lord said is very true. β
Lang Tieying listened, but did not feel relaxed, he leaned on the railing, sighed, blinked, turned his head, and his ears moved.
"Lao Liang, a distinguished guest is here. β
"Hmm, forgive Liang for being stupid, is it Guitang Village again?"
"No, an old friend. β
"Who?"
"Zhang Ying. β
Liang Ping gasped.
Today's Nanhui City Advocate Ying is sitting in the lobby of the Lang family, slowly sipping tea. His uninvited arrival this time startled the people of the Lang family, and they didn't dare to stop him, so they hurriedly invited him into the lobby. After hearing the news, Liang Ping and Lang Tieying also arrived as soon as possible, and at the same time did not forget to call Lang Yuxin, but did not let him show up, just let him stay in the back hall to listen. Liang Ping admired the judgment of the old man, and the old man said on the way to come that the other party came alone this time. He saw that Zhang Ying really came alone this time and did not bring any guards. And the strangest thing is that he didn't see his city lord wrenching. When the emperor opened the country, he had a decree: all subordinate officials must wear a wrench, wear a python suit, and a high crown to demonstrate solemnity. But the dynasty has continued to the present, and the Jade Emperor no longer pays attention to red tape, and only asks for a jade wrench. He was dressed very simply this time, wearing a beige tunic and only a bun on his head and a hosta.
Zhang Ying is a middle-aged man who looks very fair, there is nothing special, there is a scar on his left eyebrow, which was left by him when he was young. The thin body has an aura of its own, and when he looks at you, you will find a kind of arrogance in his eyes. Lang Tieying said that if Zhang Ying's methods could be more restrained and not so ruthless, then he would have been more than just a city lord! He maintained himself very well, in fact, he was not a few years younger than Lang Tieying.
"The dignified Nanhui City Lord actually came to the Humble House from Jian today, which really surprised Lang, and the City Lord Zhang was unharmed. β
"Haha, no one in this city knows me Zhang Ying! Why bother with those redundant things. β
"The city lord is really a free and easy person, you and I have been drinking tea at the city gate for a few months, I don't know what happened to me this time?"
"Hehe, as the saying goes, friends don't see each other for a day, with the friendship between you and me, let alone a few months?
"Thanks to the care of City Lord Zhang, the old body has relapsed not long ago, but as long as you don't think about those troubles and don't chase fame and fortune, your body will naturally recover, City Lord, do you say this is the truth?"
"Well, but people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, how can people in high positions like you and me stay out of the matter completely? And this time, on the one hand, I came to visit you, and I also want to bring you a message. β
"What news deserves to be notified by the city lord in person?"
"Speaking of this, we have to start with the young master of the Fang family. β
"But from there?"
"That's right, Fang Qi, the young master of the Fang family, and Ling Lang Yuxin can be said to be the same dragon and phoenix among people, calculating their age, and it is time to talk about marriage, so I became a matchmaker with him and married Xie Wenwan, a disciple of Lanxiang Mountain. Speaking of this Xie Wenwan, but the country is fragrant, and it is difficult to find it in the world, I wonder if Brother Lang has ever heard of it?"
"This... Shu Lang is really lonely and unheard, I usually enjoy being clean at home, and I really don't hear much about these rumors outside. β
Regarding Zhang Ying's question, Lang Tie Yingquan was perfunctory, but in the ears of Lang Yuxin behind the hall, it was as shocking as turning over the river and the sea, and he felt a heartache. The reason why he was shocked was that the girl Fang Qi was going to marry was called Xie Wenwan, and the reason why he was sad was that the girl he fell in love with was also called Xie Wenwan. There is no doubt that it was the same person.
Lang Yuxin felt that God was too cruel to him at this time, and the first woman he fell in love with in his life was snatched away like this. A few months ago, my father said to himself that he no longer required himself to study and practice at home every day, and that he could go in and out of Lang's house freely, learn more about the life in this city, and ask himself to accompany him every time he entertained guests, and learned the principles of how to behave in the world. Taking advantage of this month, he often called Lang Xuecheng to secretly go to the cliff together, waiting for the woman in white to appear again, the emperor did not live up, he could see the woman almost every time, and naturally followed those women back to find out where they lived.
That day, he saw that they walked all the way into Fang's house. Those were everyone on an equal footing with the Lang family, and he thought that they were all maids of the Fang family. Naturally, he also heard the person who was traveling with her call her name, Xie Wenwan. What a nice name.
After that day, when she came out alone, he stopped her on the road and confessed his heart to her. Looking at her blushing face, Lang Yuxin knew that she had succeeded. In the following months, the two often went in and out together, and Lang Yuxin also took advantage of the family's inattention to secretly take Xie Wenwan from the back door to talk to her heart. He once asked her identity in person, whether she was a descendant of the Fang family, and he remembered that she hesitated for a moment and nodded. After that, he promised to give her happiness and set her free. In his heart, he once thought that when he was crowned, he proposed to his father to go to the Fang family to propose marriage, and he wanted to marry that girl. He was carried away by love at that time, he didn't think much about it, he didn't expect that his younger brother also liked that girl, he didn't expect that the Fang family had been opposed to the Lang family everywhere for so many years, and he didn't expect that if the other party was the maid of the Fang family, how could he enter and leave the Fang family so casually. But now that he understood everything, his world was about to collapse at this moment, and no one knew that there was a young heart behind the lobby that seemed to bleed in pain.
Below, Lang Tieying and the others were still talking.
"That's about how it went. The wedding date of the two is set for the seventh day of the next month, such a happy event, and Brother Lang must go to the party when he arrives. β
Lang Tieying happily agreed. After Zhang Ying finished speaking, he didn't stay long. After sending Zhang Ying away, Lang Tieying and Liang Ping's faces were a little stiff, and the two of them had different thoughts in their hearts, but they were equally uneasy. Lang Tieying paced back and forth in the lobby.
"The Fang family married Lanxiangshan at this time, and Zhang Ying became a matchmaker in the middle, which is obviously biased towards the Fang family. A few days ago, the Qing Dock began to intrude on my Lang family's jade water transportation channel, and I also want to get a piece of the pie, how can it be good if it goes on like thisγγγγγγ Liang Ping listened and retreated silently, he knew that Lang Tieying didn't need others to talk about anything at this time, he wanted someone. Behind the hall, not only Lang Yuxin, in fact, from a very early age, Lang Xuecheng also overheard all the conversations.
Outside the courtyard, Liang Ping stood in front of a pool of water, his face was cloudy, in the past few months, somehow, he remembered a lot of things, and also regained some strength, but he didn't tell anyone.
"If the Lang family suffers soon, should I help, or should I continue to hide and find the next place to stay?"
