Zhuang Liangzhen's ancestors are scholarly families, and there are a few ancestral treasures for several generations, which are not much left in the hands of his father.

And Liang Xiao was born in the Jiangling Liang clan, which is the century-old family that has gone through three dynasties and produced 3 queens, 1 first assistant, 2 pavilion elders, and 18 jinshi.

No one would have imagined that such a powerful Jiangzuo family would be inextricably linked with the banker.

Zhuang Liangzhen's great-grandfather was a well-known Hongxue Confucian in the previous dynasty, yes, he was a great Confucian, but he devoted himself to studying the unpopular horse road, and also accepted a female disciple - Lan Yanzhi, that is, Liangxiao's biological mother.

According to the generation, Zhuang Liangzhen should call Liangxiao "little uncle", but the difference between the two is only five years old, and she is used to calling her brother, so she will not do it.

The Liang clan of the three dynasties has not declined, but in times of crisis, it domesticated the war horse to deter the Huns, the war horse, not everyone can raise, anyone dares to raise, only the Liang clan raised, not only raised but also killed the Quartet, shocking the government and the opposition.

Since then, the Liang clan has re-emerged with unprecedented glory.

And the dealer fell into turmoil because of Lan Yanzhi's death.

For as long as she can remember, Zhuang Liangzhen and her father have moved frequently, most frequently twice a month, just to avoid the collectors who come to visit. I don't know how famous my great-grandfather was, and collectors didn't even let go of his torn socks.

The last time he moved to Shanggu, Liang Xiao was the commander of Shanggu Wei at that time, he was only fourteen years old, but he sat in a position that no one else would necessarily have when he was thirty years old, and strangely everyone seemed to like him. He lived a simple life, and he was very kind, calling his father Mr. Xiao Zhuang.

She was nine years old at the time, so lethargic that she slept next to her father's lap in a daze. In the haze, the father seemed to be talking to Liangxiao in a whisper. A noise woke her up, it was dark, there were no candles in the house, and she couldn't touch her father, she was so frightened that she kept shaking, and thought that Daddy had been caught by the bad guys.

Daddy, Daddy, she cried and found the door, the fighting stopped abruptly, and it was quiet for a moment before she came out of the shadows, it was the kind big brother during the day, with a pair of eyes that were more agile than a cat.

But he had a sword in his hand, and the end of the sword was still dripping blood.

Liang Xiao leaned over to look at her: "Ling Zunyou wants to leave in advance and entrust you to me, are you willing to be with me?" ”

She kept shivering, and she didn't know whether she was afraid or cold, she looked at him in a daze, and only after a while did she cry and threw herself into his arms.

"Good boy." He smiled with satisfaction.

……

Liangxiao is not quite the same as the impetuous prince of the world, he is in a quiet corner, calm and healthy, and his personality is also very easy-going, but Zhuang Liangzhen feels that he is like a little old man, and his biggest interest is to serve a bonsai pine that has been raised for five years.

But when he wrote, dipped in ink, and hovered with his pen, he looked good, and he looked like a high-spirited young man.

The cereals are abundant, melons in spring, ice cream in summer, crabs in autumn and honey cakes on the winter solstice, everything is delicious and about to fly. Liang Xiao has never shortened her snack.

Before the age of ten, he hugged her, wrapped his big hands around his small hands, and taught her to use the orthodox Yan Kai to copy Cao Cao's "Watching the Sea", and then the feelings were a little deeper.

At the age of twelve, there was an old woman from Gangneung, who spoke in a low voice, behaved as if she had measured it with a ruler, and gave her a grain of sand to guard the palace without asking her opinion

She asked Liangxiao what this is, why can't she deduct it?

Liang Xiaohui: When you grow up, you will naturally fall off.

At the age of fourteen, she felt that she was an adult, but the scorching red sand was still there, even fuller and more dazzling, like a glamorous kiss.

Everyone thought they were brothers and sisters, Zhuang Liangzhen had long been accustomed to it, and occasionally picked up the bronze mirror, which was indeed quite similar, similar eyes and the corners of the mouth, as if carved out of a mold. Even Liang Xiao pinched her little face curiously and looked at it.

But at that time, his liking for her should have been simply that he thought children were cute, when did he start to be different?

It should be the Flower Dynasty Festival. Liang Xiao took her to visit the Grange in the upper valley, just two people, and when they returned, the bridge was washed away by the tide and had to stay in the farmhouse. The weather that year was strange, there was goose feather snow at night, and the frozen people couldn't sleep, she smeared and burned the kang, but the house was full of smoke and miasma, Liang Xiao asked: Why don't you sleep? She cried coldly until he was carried into the bed. A girl of this age already knows how to defend men and women, but he is not in her defense, he is different.

Lying in his arms is the happiest thing in the world.

With the first time, there will be a second time, for example, he will suddenly hug her tightly as she eats snacks; Sometimes she plays in front of him, and if she provokes him somewhere, she will also be hugged; Of course, there are also times when she is naughty, jumping into his arms to be coquettish, frolicking with him, and he doesn't know what to do, so he can only put her on the tree. Knowing that he wouldn't ignore him, but she couldn't help but be afraid, she shouted, "Brother, let me down."

He stood under the tree and looked at her deeply.

At that time, he may have begun to see her as a girl.

After that, Shanggu popularized a kind of silver gauze skirt, extravagant but also irresistible, she was moved, asked Liangxiao for money to buy, but was refused, this is the first time he refused her request.

Because the price of this skirt is extremely incommensurate with his annual salary, it is an unreasonable expense.

The mind that has been haunting my heart for days has finally broken a hole.

She was sad: "You don't love me, Wu Qingyue and Lu gave her a cat's eye golden hairpin of 1,000 taels, you have money to buy bonsai pine for so much money, even the evil slaves who rewarded Jiangling are ten taels or twenty taels, only me, only I want to buy a skirt of one hundred taels, you are reluctant!" ”

The child's anger is childish and ridiculous, and he doesn't want to think about where the confidence is in saying these words. But at that time, she just felt that Liang Xiao should be good to herself, and Liang Xiao should be good to herself, just like a child feels that parents should pamper themselves unconditionally.

Liang Xiao couldn't cry or laugh: "That's different, if you go out in such a dress, what will others say about me?" ”

She ran away crying, and knocked over his beloved bonsai pine, which he had only raised for five years.

The consequences were extremely severe, and Liang Xiao punished her for standing under the porch, holding the broken bonsai pine face and thinking about it.

The girls who make mistakes in other people's families are copying scriptures in the Buddhist hall, quiet and delicate, but she has to think about it in front of everyone, Zhuang Liangzhen keeps crying.

Then there was another rain, which drenched her whole body, and the maidservant persuaded her to enter the house, but she gritted her teeth and remained silent until Liang Xiaoqing walked quickly with an umbrella: "Why don't you go into the house, is this with me?" ”

She pursed her lips and didn't speak.

"The clothes are all glued to the body, what it looks like."

She stiffened her neck and just didn't speak.

Liang Xiao hugged her into his arms: "The silver strip yarn is not suitable, shall we change it?" ”

"You are such a hypocrite!"

"I didn't say don't scold, scolding is not a good thing."

Her tears made a hot mark on her clammy cheeks: "Is it good to pretend to be cold?" What about the rich and powerful? Why are you hiding in Shanggu so that people don't know that you are the grandson of the Gangneung Liang clan? Everyone in your family can wear silver stripes, why can't I? Do you think it's great to climb up with strength? Wrong! Being rich and powerful is also part of strength, if I were you, I would rely on this big tree to stand at the top! Truly amazing people don't care about their backgrounds at all. ”

Liang Xiao threw the umbrella, covered her forehead with his hand to block the rain, and when she was almost accused, leaned over her lips, it turned out that mouth and mouth can still play this game? Her beautiful eyes were slightly palpated, and her whole person seemed to be thrown into the air by a huge wave, lost in the warm and sweet lips and teeth. He's so clean, even his saliva is fragrant.

The end was still unfinished, he gasped heavily, his forehead pressed hard against her shoulder, and then he raised his eyes, but he regained his calm.

He asked, "Do you still want it?" ”

She said she thought, tiptoeing to peck at his lips. Liang Xiao said: "I mean the skirt." ”

At the beginning of May, news suddenly came that someone had seen Zhuang Yizhou in Cangzhou, and Liangxiao did not hesitate to stop all the matters of Shangguwei and accompany her.

Arrived in Cangzhou only to find that this place was in drought last year, so far there is no harvest, the people are in turmoil, chaotic, people flee every day, and there are rogues haunted, the most dead and injured are women and children, many little girls are not even able to be ruined, fortunately Liangxiao will protect her very well, but whenever you encounter something bad, you will cover her eyes.

She had always naively thought that those women who died naked and miserable because of the value of their clothes, and there was indeed a reason for this, but the more disgusting reason Liang Xiao did not sue her.

After looking for half a month, when she was almost about to give up, a black paw covered her into a secluded alley, and the man who looked like a beggar in front of her was her father Zhuang Yizhou.

"Daddy!"

Father and daughter hugged each other and cried.

……

Liangxiao found the unconscious Zhuang Liangzhen in a dirty alley.

"Liangzhen."

Zhuang Liangzhen heard the call, and tried hard several times before opening his heavy eyelids, and a familiar face came into view, no matter how he tanned his fair skin, big and bright black eyes, and the upward arc of the corners of his mouth seemed to be a kind and patient smile...... Isn't that good?

Looking around, it was not the alley before he fainted, it seemed to be an ordinary farmhouse.

Her forehead was hot, and she was awake and blurry.

At that time, the water had been sold for a pot of one tael of gold, and if you wanted a bucket of water, you had to get at least two thousand taels of silver, and it had to be a currency exchange ticket number. Liangxiao bought a bucket and a half, soaked her in water, and then took it out, without even taking off her clothes, because the temperature of her body was enough to dry the underwear automatically.

When the heat finally faded a little, she was almost stunned.

"Brother, I saw Daddy......" She recounted the situation at the time, and every time she said a word, her throat hurt hotly, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect Cangzhou to be like this, and you will suffer with me......"

Liang Xiao was silent for a moment: "It has nothing to do with you." Think about it again, besides that jade pendant, does Ling Zun have any other hints? ”

No. She shook her head: "I told him that you were also there, but he covered my mouth and didn't let me speak, as if he was afraid of seeing people." ”
