38.038 Two more in one
Liang Xiao pushed the door and stepped in, there was a moment of unreality, golden red everywhere, the bride had removed her makeup, revealing her true face, no longer like the dull Fu Doll, but a fresh person with delicate and transparent skin, cherry lips are more sultry than the glamorous lipstick, green silk is like a waterfall, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance, which is her breath.
Liang Xiao felt a little dry mouth, walked up and sat down next to her, Chunlu and Mu Tao bowed and said auspicious words before retreating outside the door.
The only thing left in the warm and pleasant space was the young man and woman sitting side by side in the tent of a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren, Liang Xiao squeezed her slightly cool palm, she seemed quite calm, it would have been perfect if his teeth hadn't chattered when he tried to pull her hand.
Zhuang Liangzhen's eyelashes drooped, and he watched him play with his fingertips, and the two were silent.
Liang Xiao woke up for a while, patted the back of her hand, and got up to take a shower and change clothes.
Until he finished washing, even his hair was dry, and that Mama Ni didn't rush in with anyone, not to mention that the old lady sent a message to separate her from Liangxiao.
Zhuang Liangzhen's calm expression suddenly cracked, and he turned his eyes to look at Liangxiao who was slowly sipping sobering tea at the table opposite.
Liang Xiao noticed that she was looking over, and the corners of his mouth raised.
"Mama Ni is your person?" She finally spoke.
Liang Xiao shook his head: "No." β
"You threaten her?"
"How can this be called a threat? As the saying goes, I'd rather tear down ten temples than break a marriage, if she can't keep her mouth shut, then I'll do something to her, no matter how bad it is, it's always bad to tear down the temple and not worship God and Buddha, right? He laughs.
This is also a last resort, if you can't be together, then what's the point of getting married?
His temperament is not yet good to use casually, and he is at the point of kicking it away when he runs out.
After drinking for a while, the base of the dragon and phoenix double candles on the case had been piled with a thin layer of wax tears. Liang Xiao raised her eyes to look at her, she didn't seem to be tired, she kept sitting on the edge of the bed with her face down, and she didn't have the slightest panic or resentment or reluctance because she had to face him at any time and have sex with him, in fact, she showed a completely strange quiet.
This is the path she is going to take, and since she has decided, no matter what happens in the process, she will not be able to retreat, this is a desperate bravery.
Zhuang Liangzhen looked at the man who came to him indifferently, he closed the tent, paused, and pressed her.
β¦β¦
The red candles in Shende Garden shone high all night, and there were bright red happy words everywhere, just looking at it could be regarded as joyful, but the faces of the old lady and the second lady of Liang did not show half of the joy.
The old lady changed her clothes and fell asleep as usual, but the lights in the second lady's room were on until the second half of the night.
A new day has come again, and no matter how faint the light shines through the red silk tulle all over the house, it has become warm, and the sleeping side face of Zhuang Liangzhen in the tent is lined with this warm color like a newly opened hibiscus.
She snorted evenly, her eyelids had a faint shadow of tiredness, and she was motionless in the crook of his arm.
Liang Xiao kept looking at her until she slowly opened it, her black eyes were as transparent as glass, and as indifferent as glass.
She got up and changed her clothes and combed her hair, and treated him as before, as she had since she left Upper Valley, not the past in Upper Valley.
Liang Xiao looked at her back and said, "Is there anything you particularly want to eat?" I have to eat more breakfast, I am very tired to worship my ancestors, and then I have to see my aunt, and the road from the ancestral hall to Yuehua Hall is not close. β
His little wife replied softly, "It's fine as usual." β
The two were speechless for a while, one was silent, and the other let the maid dress up and put on makeup.
The solemn and boring ancestor worship ceremony is not mentioned, but it is said that the people who are waiting for each other and have different thoughts in the Yuehua Hall are in strict formation.
Before Zhuang Liangzhen appeared, her image in the hearts of many people was tantamount to a blue-faced and fanged monster, or even more hateful than that.
But the bride who walked in was not at all as hateful as she imagined, so that everyone was stunned, except for Mrs. Liang.
The old lady was stunned not because of Zhuang Liangzhen's beauty, but as if she saw another woman, and she followed her eldest son into Yuehuatang so gently and gently.
It's so much like that.
The ritual of seeing your aunt is very simple, but you have to keep serving tea and saluting, which is like letting the man's family recognize their faces one by one. The elders naturally want to give gifts and red seals after drinking tea, and the ordinary generations do not have to be so grand, Zhuang Liangzhen is the most "big" in this generation, as a sister-in-law, she wants to give gifts to her sister-in-law and uncles, and the sister-in-law will give her a handkerchief purse.
The uncles are even simpler, and they give each other the four treasures of the study room and make a familiar face.
Liang Jun was not there, and Liang Tingwan handed it to the second sister-in-law, which was an expensive and ordinary style, which was equivalent to the big road goods in the jewelry pavilion, which showed how lacking the other party's mind was.
Of course, this gift is not Liangjun's "heart", but Liang's second lady. In fact, Liangjun prepared a red sandalwood pen holder for Zhuang Liangzhen, although it was also given casually, but it was more elegant than the road goods. However, in the eyes of Mrs. Liang, Zhuang Liangzhen was not worthy of elegance, so she changed it privately.
But Zhuang Liangzhen didn't see the slightest embarrassment on his face, and he still ordered someone to present a fish-shaped enamel pen holder, which was also ingenious, and Liangchi was mountain-shaped, impartial.
The atmosphere was heavy, and there was no joy in meeting the newlyweds, and the elders in the hall all had straight faces, just because of the obstruction of Liangxiao's face, in fact, it was already very face-giving, no matter what, everyone still acted according to the rules, and even the second lady of Liang did not go too far.
But Liang Yunshi, that is, Wu Qingyue's mother, hooked the corners of her lips, of course, she couldn't let Liang Xiao get off the stage on such a day, so she had to do something about the reward.
After drinking Zhuang Liang's cherished tea, Liang Yunshi praised the bride without any new ideas, signaling the people around her to give gifts, the first tray is placed in a set of gold inlaid jade heads, the flower shape of the hosta is ingenious, carved into the shape of scallops, it looks quite beautiful.
But as the second tray was presented, the expressions of everyone in the hall immediately became intriguing.
It was a small bundle of silk.
Isn't the silk all sent by the horse, there are small horses and big horses, but what does it mean to bundle a small handful like this? Liang Yunshi smiled arrogantly: "This is the former Queen Mother's reward, it is really good to use it to make a handkerchief, this silk only produces one horse a year, and I hope that the new nephew will not be too little." β
The wording is reasonable and there is nothing wrong with that.
But the Lu Gongfu is a family of poetry and books, and it has only begun to practice martial arts in the past two generations, so the people present quickly realized the deep meaning.
The head surface carved into the shape of a "shell", coupled with the bundle of silk, is not a capital "cheap"!
This is really a silent but loud scolding.
But people can't make mistakes, not to mention that the bundle of silk is still given by the Queen Mother, and it is only a horse that has been named for a year, so it is good to have this bunch.
Liangxiao's expression was slightly cold, Wu Qingyue didn't dare to look at him, and shrank behind her mother with a flat mouth.
So the whole house, including Mrs. Liang's second wife, looked at Zhuang Liangzhen curiously, looking forward to her reaction, of course, she may not react, maybe she will accept it beautifully, that is the thunderous person.
Zhuang Liangzhen did accept it with a smile, and rushed in front of Liangxiao to face Mu Tao and said, "Why don't you hurry up and present the handkerchief I embroidered myself." He turned his eyes down and said respectfully to Liang Yunshi, "Although these two handkerchiefs are not precious things, they are embroidered by Liangzhen himself (just find someone to do it), one side is to copy the "Early Spring Laughing Picture" of today's saint, and the other side is to copy the queen's "Insect Knowledge", and please aunt don't want to laugh. β
The crowd's eyes widened to see the two veils.
And Mu Tao and Chunlu also cooperated to shake the veil, and it was really a masterpiece widely circulated by the emperor and queen.
But coincidentally, one of the two pictures was taken, for example, the first one is a spring flower waving in the wind; The second is two worms lying under the flowers.
A capitalized word "stupid" appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and this scolding was much more straightforward than Liangyun's poems, but it was also shocking.
At that time, Liang Yunshi was shocked!
One is the emperor's masterpiece, and the other is the queen's...... Her lips trembled for a long time, and she couldn't say a word, so she didn't stand up and hit this little girl who didn't know the height of the sky.
Everyone closed their eyes and coughed lightly to divert their attention, not saying whether they were or not.
The old lady glared at Liang Yunshi fiercely, nonsense!
Regardless of the occasion!
But this little girl is also a ruthless character. Being slapped in the face in public can still stand up, and the words and deeds are not worse than the ladies of the family, the temperament that a person reveals from his bones is not imitated no matter how he imitates it, and the old lady of the age still has the level of looking at people, but he still doesn't like Zhuang Liangzhen.
is such a tricky girl, she actually slapped her beloved daughter's face in public.
Her daughter is naughty to bully, but others are vicious when they bully his daughter.
The corners of the old lady's mouth flashed a sneer, and she sat leisurely on the top as if she was watching coldly.
Only Liangxiao looked at Zhuang Liangzhen with a smile in his eyes, both doting and helpless.
After the ceremony, everyone had a bottom about each other, Lu Guogong said a few very official words in a deep voice, telling the juniors to unite and love, respect and help each other, and then led a group of men to retire. The ladies followed.
Mrs. Liang's second eyebrows smiled and accompanied the old lady, whether it was Liangyun's poetry scolding Zhuang Liangzhen for being cheap, or Zhuang Liangzhen's stupidity in returning Liangyun's poetry, it was all pleasant.
In her opinion, that sister-in-law's annoying Cheng dΓΉ is second only to Zhuang Liangzhen.
But her daughter was full of curiosity, and kept peeking at Zhuang Liangzhen's back, in fact, it was not only her who kept peeking at Zhuang Liangzhen among the young men and women present.
It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful!
Several young sons and brothers in the clan were still very sympathetic to Liangxiao at the beginning, but now that they think about it carefully, they can't help but envy it.
Liang Xiao already has a hereditary title, and now he has the emperor's blue eyes to serve in the three major camps in Kyoto, and the noble daughter of the high family is just the icing on the cake for him, at most to help him get to the top a few years earlier, but who dares to deny the ability of such a person, even if he does not have a strong wife, it is a matter of time before he gets ahead.
Although the young people present may not have the courage to marry a civilian woman, they can't help but feel a slight ripple in their hearts when they peek at the back of the second sister-in-law, which is also human nature.
In the first half month of the wedding, the surroundings looked peaceful, and the so-called peace was that no one came to trouble Zhuang Liangzhen. And Zhuang Liangzhen also took this opportunity to take care of Yuqing's body, this pony seems to be very healthy, but after all, because the mare left too early, fell into a dark disease, and because of the lack of essential nutrients in the mare's milk, this dark disease is not obvious when he is a child, and it will be exposed when he grows up, such as affecting the running speed and even the development of bone joints.
And although Mrs. Lianger knew that there was a foal in Zhuang Liangzhen's dowry, the foal was no different from a piece of gold to her, and she didn't care too much about it for a while.
It's a good taste of good food.
At first, he was quite patient, except for the wedding night, he never touched her, and at most hinted at her. Her response was mediocre, and her behavior was in line with the rules, no one could see anything unusual, she would only feel that the young couple was friendly and respectful to each other, which was simply in response to the sentence of respecting each other and raising eyebrows.
Zhuang Liangzhen is not stupid, she knows her purpose, and she doesn't waste time arguing or resenting with Liangxiao, which will take up too much time and not have plenty of time, on the contrary, she just needs to close her eyes and lie down calmly for a while before going to bed, and then take a bath after he has fun, and life will go on as usual.
After being together more times, she gradually found some ways to protect herself from making herself uncomfortable.
So when he touched her, she had enough perseverance to endure it, and she never snorted, and he didn't touch her, and she curled up quietly inside, sleeping peacefully. The two spent more time together, and then they found that it was difficult to have more than ten conversations a day.
Usually he asks her answer, or she asks him to answer. If he answered, she would be so clever that she would draw inferences at once, and she would not ask again; On the contrary, she will not ask again, but find a way to solve the problem.
Liangxiao treats her well, and there is always her favorite food on the dinner table, and she will also let the small kitchen add his love, she doesn't seem to be aggressive, and she doesn't make trouble immediately, and even sits in the room to do some needlework obediently, and the small long house has a simple population, and she hardly needs much entertainment.
But Liangxiao's eyes when he looked at her became colder and colder day by day.
This coldness finally broke out half a month after the wedding, and he seemed to be in a good mood that night, holding her hand and asking her if she wanted to go out? It's so boring to be bored in the house all the time, and he wants to take her out to play while Xiu Mu is in the same way.
When Zhuang Liangzhen heard this, he slowly plucked the sweet incense sticks in the incense burner, and said softly: "It's good to go green, but it's still next month, I want to take care of Yuqing this month." β
Although he was disappointed, he also understood, looking at the clean little face, and because the temperature of the warm pavilion was suitable, she only wore a thin spring shirt, which was really thin, only about two layers, so that the eyes of people who were used to the heavy winter couldn't help but be hot.
He tentatively pinched her sleeve, and her back only stiffened slightly, and then became calm again, and then skillfully turned off the lights, and lay down silently with her eyes closed.
It was indeed what he wanted to do, but was responded to in this way...... Liang Xiao turned from stunned to angry, and it took a long time to find his breath, his face was so angry that his face turned pale, he swept away a cup with a wave of his sleeves, and walked away. Startled, a group of maids outside looked at each other, Mu Tao rushed in, taking the opportunity of cleaning up the ground to keep observing left and right, and Chunlu didn't dare to breathe.
The moment he stepped out of Shende Garden angrily, he was faced with a gust of cold wind, blowing the whole person like falling into an ice cave.
Why did he leave? This is his home, and she is his wife!
Zhuang Liangzhen didn't expect the other party to come back, probably so surprised that he forgot to hide his expression for a while.
The subordinate was even more startled by his "roll", and the wolf retreated, and his panting was much thicker, and he pursed his lips and stared at the small figure sitting under the lamp.
"You can't be angry with me, there's something you can sit down and discuss." She looked at him calmly, her gaze moving with him, and finally looked up at him.
β¦β¦
Half an hour later, Liang Xiao opened the door with a sigh, straightened his brocade robe, and strode out with residual anger and sorrow on his face. He sat in the cold study for a long time, but his heart was full of her, and he couldn't help but tell Dongzhu to go over and take a look, and heard that she was in good health, and even had dinner, and the hanging heart was settled, but his eyes were red.
She grew up knowing that no matter what kind of blow she encountered, she had to take care of her body first.
She cherishes herself.
It was good, but he was swept into the darkness by a pain that he didn't know what to do.
That night, he fell asleep unconsciously, and his dreams were full of what she was when she was nine years old, and she followed him step by step.
β¦β¦
The matter of Xiao Changfang's "newlywed Yan'er" came to an end for the time being, but it was said that Liangjun returned to his home, had a small gathering with relatives and friends, and then devoted himself to the affairs of the Governor's Mansion, and he was determined to make some achievements in Kyoto.
On this day, when I was finally free, Liang Tingwan passed by his study, which was the kind of very deliberate passing, and he asked with a smile: "What do you want to do when you come to me?" β
"Look at what you said, can't you come to see your brother if you're fine?" Liang Ting said coquettishly, and then twisted to tell the truth, "That day, the second sister-in-law returned the gift and gave you a fish-shaped pen holder, I just looked at it and liked it very much, can you give it to me to play?" β
It turned out to be for this, and he thought it was a big deal. Liang Jun's eyes turned to the pen holder that was lonely on the desk and seemed to be redundant, and handed it to Liang Tingwan casually: "Take it and play." β
This sentence is equivalent to giving it to her.
But whatever he gave in this way, he never wanted to return it.
Liang Ting smiled, thanked the fifth brother one after another, and walked away happily with the pen holder.
Liangjun turned his eyes to look at the case, without the fish-shaped pen holder, it seemed to be a lot cleaner, but there was a kind of loss that was difficult for him to understand at this time.
It's been so long, and he really hasn't seen the sauerkraut fish butterfly again.
At that age, he was almost as tall as his chin, and he may have been engaged a long time ago, even if he didn't get married, he was already waiting to be sold.
If it's the latter...... He thought about it carefully, can he sell it at a price, in fact, he can try it. He still believes in his own self-control, and no matter how beautiful a woman is, it's just like seeing too many beautiful women, just like the beautiful scenery, living in it all day long, such as his Tingquan Tower, isn't it also boring.
It's better to get that little butterfly back first, maybe he will get tired of it in two or three years, and then he will reckon marrying a wife and having children, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.
As long as the little butterfly is well-behaved and settled, he is happy to take care of her for the rest of his life, I wonder if she still remembers him?
For this reason, he began to inquire about her traces intentionally or unintentionally, starting with the girls in each room who appeared that day, but although there were many cousins, there were few amazing beauty, and they were raised in the deep boudoir, and it was difficult to even see each other.
So, he gradually put the matter down again, and he didn't think it was love at first sight, and even felt that it was ridiculous to use the words love at first sight to describe it, it was just the instinct to see beautiful little things and want to take them for himself.
When he finally diverted his attention, he met her again in the Lotus Place, and it was precisely because he saw her maid that he deduced that the girl with the hood was her.
Today's dress is obviously not as grand as when I went to Lu Gongfu, but it is also very cute, the apricot coat is embroidered with a spring flower, and the pink blue Liuxian skirt is clean and gentle, it can be seen that she has not been treated harshly by her mother at home.
Liangjun's heart couldn't help but tremble, handed the reins to the entourage beside him, and chased after him alone, chasing and calming down, what was he doing?
As I said earlier, Zhuang Liangzhen does not like flowers like ordinary girls, and the main purpose of her coming to Weirui Fang is to dig up a bunch of butterfly wing grass to try out new drugs to nourish Yuqing's body.
Nowadays, most of the butterfly wing grass on the market is artificially bred and has very poor medicinal properties, but there is a wild one near Weiruifang.
When it comes to prescriptions, except for Chunlu and Mu Tao, she never fakes the hands of others.
It's a pity that she only dug a basket after digging for a long time, and she is not familiar with Kyoto, and others are not familiar with wild butterfly wing grass, so it is really difficult to explore for a while.
"What do you want this for? There are a lot of trellishes in front. β
Zhuang Liangzhen raised her eyes to look at the young man who spoke, thinking that it was a nearby businessman, but her appearance and clothes were not like ordinary businessmen, but there was no malice in the other party's eyes, and she had two maids by her side, so she said: "Most of the flowers in the shed are artificially cultivated, but I need this kind of wild one, where is there still one near here?" β
Sure enough, it was the sound of sauerkraut fish and butterflies, Liangjun couldn't help laughing, leaned over and looked at the grass in her hand: "I have a lot of this." β
The natural garden of Tingquanlou is full of weeds, but it is very wild to be repaired, and it is a big deal to pull out all that piece to her.
These words really aroused the interest of the three little girls, and even through the light veil of the hood, he could feel her eyes light up.
Although Zhuang Liangzhen had doubts, since this person took the initiative to talk and took the initiative to explain that he had this thing, it was to be sold, so he politely asked: "Then please make a price, I will ask for such a basket is enough." β
Liangjun pursed his lips and smiled: "The price is easy to say, but I don't know how to send it to the girl's house?" β
