Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Past of Injury
The two sat down in the restaurant, Wen Cheng ordered some side dishes and a pot of wine, then opened the conversation box and began to tell Han Ming about Liang Feng.
"Speaking of Liang Feng, I have to tell you about the Liang clan in Kyoto first, didn't I tell you last time that there are four major clans in Kyoto, this Liang clan is one of the four major clans, and Liang Feng's father is the current patriarch of the Liang clan, Liang Jian. This Liang Qian held the position of the chief in the court, and he had great power, and many people in the court had received his favor, and the Liang family was very powerful in the court, and in some places, it was even more powerful than my Wen family. ”
Hearing this, Han Ming interrupted Wen Cheng, "What you said should be some private matters of the imperial court, how do you know?"
Wen Cheng took a bite of food and said, "I still didn't overhear it from my father and second uncle. ”
Han Ming nodded, and said with a sense of understanding: "That's no wonder, you can continue." ”
Wen Cheng took a sip of wine and continued: "This Liang family used to be a businessman, and then the business became bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger, and finally became the richest man in Zhongchu. This person, as soon as he had money, he began to think about power, and it coincided with the new donation law at that time, so the patriarch of the Liang clan at that time spent a lot of money to donate a servant official to himself, and later this person was appreciated by the emperor, and this official became bigger and bigger, and later became a minister because of his support for the new emperor. The most prominent thing about this Liang family is that they have money, so at that time, they funded many people who were aspiring to be officials, and some of these people climbed up by their own efforts, so they returned to help the Liang family, so that their power became bigger and bigger, and they had a decisive voice in the court. ”
Han Ming sat on the table and listened quietly to Wen Cheng, who was drinking as he spoke, and when he drank to the back, his words became more and more confused.
"He Liang's family, although - although he is rich, but he is looked down upon by those families with background, a family that is in business, you say that even if they are officials in the imperial court, no matter how big they are, they are still copper, hiccup. At that, he hiccuped.
Wen Cheng took a bite of food and continued: "This Liang Feng is the second son of the Liang family, his eldest brother Liang Shi is the right middle general in the court, in charge of the Gyeonggi camp, his father hopes that he can also be as productive as his brother." But this Liang Feng, like everyone at the beginning, was also a wanderer. ”
Hearing this, Han Ming immediately stretched out his hand to interrupt him, "Eh, who is the same as you? I'm not the same as you, you can talk about yourself when you say it, don't drag me in." ”
Wen Cheng smiled and said to Han Ming: "Brother Han, don't be surprised, men, it's all the same, I understand." ”
"Who's like you? Forget it, you go on. Han Ming didn't want to talk to him here, urging him to continue.
"I remember that it was three years ago, when I had just completed the ceremony, and after the ceremony, a person named Chu Le took me to experience what it means to be a flower and wine, and the world is flashy, and the feeling at that time really made me have endless memories. As he spoke, Wen Cheng closed his eyes slightly and fell into memory.
Han Ming wasn't in the mood to listen to him reminisce about the past, so he patted the table.
Wen Cheng reacted immediately and continued to preach.
At that time, Liang Feng and this Chu Le were very good friends, and they often went in and out of Fengyue places together, until one day, they saw a woman in plain clothes and white clothes in the peach forest outside the city, and when they saw this woman, they were overwhelmed by this woman's temperament and began to pursue this woman at the same time. ”
"Is this woman's name Li'er?" Han Ming tried to ask.
"Oh, it seems that Brother Han knows. That's right, this woman's name is Lil. Liang Feng and Chu Le also made a bet to see who had the best means to chase this woman. Since then, the two have begun to pursue the woman frantically. ”
Liang Feng's family had money and gave this woman a lot of expensive jewelry, but he never thought that this woman would return all the jewelry. When Chu Le saw it, he went to play the piano outside the woman's courtyard every day, it was okay, he was still chanting poems beside the woman, thinking of using elegant methods to make this woman fall in love. I didn't expect it, haha, this ...... The woman directly poured a basin of cold water on him, hahaha. ”
Speaking of this, Wen Cheng finally couldn't help it, lying on the table, holding his stomach and laughing, pounding the table while laughing.
"Brother Han, you don't know, haha, when this Chu Le was splashed with water, I was standing next to him, haha It's still so funny when I think about it now. ”
Han Ming sat there, looking at him coldly and laughing, and he didn't make a sound, just to see how long he could laugh.
Not long after, Wen Chengcheng stopped laughing, apologized to Han Ming, and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Han, I really couldn't hold back. Okay, don't fight, I'll talk about it next. ”
Since then, Liang Feng and Chu Le have become more fond of this woman named Li'er. If it was Lil's beautiful temperament that attracted them at first, then what fascinated them later was Lier's temperament. They racked their brains and began to pursue Li'er, but each time to no avail, but under their unremitting pursuit, they became friends with Li'er, and the two often invited her out to play. Unexpectedly, after this back and forth, Lier fell in love with Liang Feng, who had a deeper personality, which was really unexpected to everyone at the time. ”
Later, Liang Feng also promised Li'er that he was going to marry her. never thought that Liang Feng's father thought that Li'er's identity was not worthy of him, and was ready to find Liang Feng a well-connected young lady, resolutely opposed their family affairs, and grounded Liang Feng and prevented him from going out. Eh, this Li'er is also pitiful, she lost her father at a young age, leaving her only a yard, she was raised by her mother since she was a child, and her mother was so angry that she had a serious illness, during the time when Li'er's mother was sick, Liang Feng was grounded by his father, and only Chu Le was always by Li'er's side at that time, taking care of her mother, which made Lier very moved. ”
Not long after that, Li'er married Chu Le, and on the day Li'er married Chu Le, Liang Feng didn't know that one of his servants who had followed him since he was a child told him, and when Liang Feng knew about it, he was so sad that he vomited blood and fainted. After that, he went on a hunger strike until his father let him out, when his father thought that Li'er was already married, and even if Liang Feng was let out, it would be fine. But it doesn't matter if you go, after you came back, you got seriously ill and almost lost your life. ”
Wen Cheng paused, drank a cup of tea, and continued: "Liang Feng went to find Li'er as soon as he left the house, but he didn't expect that Li'er had been completely disappointed in her, and scolded him in front of him for not keeping his promises, ruthless and unrighteous, and asked Liang Feng not to go to her again in the future, and from then on he would be cut off. After Liang Feng heard the news, he was like a different person from then on, with a gloomy personality, a cold face, and few words. Soon after this incident, there was a plague in the capital, Liang Feng at that time because of the gloomy mood, and excessive sadness, fell ill, at that time he was lying on the bed dying, and he was about to die, at that time the Liang family thought that he was infected with the plague, and Mrs. Liang also had a big quarrel with the head of the Liang family. But things are often unexpected, and after a while, Liang Feng's illness will naturally be cured. ”
Han Ming was puzzled, "Isn't he getting the plague?"
Wen Cheng waved his hand and said, "He is sick in his heart, what kind of plague." However, his heart disease will be cured, and it will have something to do with the plague. At that time, he did not have the plague, but there was a person who had the plague, this person was Chu Le, after Liang Feng heard the news, he immediately got up from the hospital bed and ran to Chu's house, he was not worried about Chu Le, but Li'er, he was afraid that Li'er would also be infected with the plague. Chu Le contracted the plague and died of illness not long after. Speaking of this, Wen Cheng's mood seemed very lost.
"He can be regarded as my good friend, when he died, Liang Feng and I were by my side, Chu Le was not angry because Liang Feng and he fought for Li'er, but before he died, he asked Liang Feng to take care of Li'er for him. I don't understand until now why Chu Le asked Liang Feng to take care of Li'er, he knew that after he died, the people in his family would drive Li'er out, for fear that Li'er would be bullied in the future, he loved Li'er, so he didn't want Li'er to be hurt, even if he knew that Liang Feng's heart for Li'er would not die. ”
Sure enough, not long after Chu Le's death, the people in his family drove Li'er out, and Liang Feng got the news at that time and brought a lot of people over, ready to teach the people of the Chu family a lesson, but Li'er pulled Liang Feng at that time, so that it didn't happen. Since then, Lil has returned to her own courtyard, and Lil's mother has died in the plague, leaving her alone to live alone, and this woman is also strong, and she lives well alone. Liang Feng also often went to help him, but every time he was rejected by Li'er, but he was never discouraged, maybe loving someone is like this, although she doesn't love herself, but it is enough to be able to accompany her. After Wen Cheng finished speaking, he sighed.
"Yes, I didn't expect this Liang Feng to have such a sad experience, and he can be regarded as a lover. After hearing this, Han Ming also sighed, he now also has a deeper understanding of Liang Feng.
"Hey, by the way, how did Brother Han know that Liang Feng liked Li'er, only a few people in the entire capital knew about it. Wen Cheng asked suspiciously.
Han Ming heard Wen Cheng ask him, and said very embarrassedly: "This--in fact, it stems from a misunderstanding, just now, I was going to go back, but I didn't think that I happened to get lost, I couldn't find how to go back, and I happened to see Liang Feng on the road, so I thought about going to Liang Feng to ask for directions, but I didn't expect to see Liang Feng sneaking around in front of a courtyard, I thought he was going to do something bad, so I wanted to investigate, and I found out about it." Don't tell Liang Feng about this. ”
"I didn't expect Brother Han to have this idea, Brother Han rest assured, I will keep this matter secret for you, and I will never let Liang Feng know. But then again, how was Brother Han doing in the mansion last night?"
"Well, it's okay, I drank well with those brothers of yours, they seem to be weak, but I didn't expect the amount of alcohol to be bad. ”
Wen Cheng laughed and said: "Brother Han, don't be deceived by their appearance, they, but they often drink everywhere in private, and if you drink with them, I'm afraid you will suffer." ”
Han Ming also smiled and didn't say anything.
