Chapter 416: Acting as a Substitute
Liang Xiao felt pity for Liang Xiao, because Liang Xiao not only did not dislike his biological mother's humble background, but also took care of him in every way when he was in the Deren Palace, Liang Gu knew that Liang Xiao really loved him, so when he knew those rumors, when he knew that the outside world had slandered Liang Xiao, he was angry, he was hateful, he was full of hatred, he didn't believe in Mingge, he felt that someone must be making trouble behind his back, he thought that those rumors that were fueling the flames must be planned by someone behind his back, so he was furious, He wants to become stronger, and only when he becomes strong can he ensure that the gentle and weak Liang Xiao can live in peace and worry.
Liang Xiao's ominous has almost become an open secret in the circle of Liang nobles, the father is merciful, and the father can naturally protect Liang Xiao when he is still alive, but once the father is gone, the ominous person can be infinitely amplified in this superstitious world, and the result of infinite amplification is very terrible, Liang Xiao may even be burned to death by the demon of the country, once it reaches that situation, natural disasters and man-made disasters and vicious events may be blamed on Liang Xiao's ominousness, what to do at that time, if there is no power, How can he guarantee that he will live in peace and security?
So he has to be strong, so that the fifth brother will not become a demon.
"Ahh Liang Xiao suddenly spoke softly, he didn't speak often, so he felt a little jerky when he spoke, but he spoke very softly, which made people's hearts feel very comfortable.
Liang Gu came back from the gloom and looked down at his hand, the ointment had been applied many times, and it hurt him so he spoke. Liang took out gauze from the medicine box and bandaged his injured hand. Finally, a knot was expertly tied.
Liang Xiao was a little embarrassed, this was his reaction every time he was injured, obviously he was injured. He looked like he was sorry for someone, with a guilty expression.
Liang Gu couldn't look at it, and frowned a little sullenly.
Liang Xiao felt that he was not in a good mood, but he wanted to talk to him again, so he opened his mouth and asked with a smile:
"So, aren't you going back to King An's Mansion tonight?"
"An empty mansion, and I don't have a group of wives and concubines like the crown prince and the second brother. If you are alone, it makes no difference whether you go back or not. Liang said casually.
Liang Xiao's expression darkened when he heard this. seems to be very worried about his brother's marriage. The seventh brother had a girl he liked very much before, but that girl was too bad, with a bad character and a bad style, and deceived the seventh brother, he and his father hated that woman very much. The father also gave a white silk to the woman for this reason. Although the seventh brother didn't say anything after that, he always felt that the seventh brother seemed to have been hit very seriously by that woman, and since then, his father wanted to choose a concubine for him, but he refused all of them.
This is not over, until the age when the seventh brother is indispensable for marriage, his father forced him to find two wives, but one of them died unexpectedly before he passed the door, and the other died violently in less than a month.
At that time, there were very bad rumors. Those people said that the seventh brother was because he was often with him and was tainted with an ominous atmosphere. That's why Liang Duli is still rumored to have a two-room wife, and now Liang Duli is still rumored to have a wife, and those families are unwilling to marry their daughters, so until now, Liang Gu is still alone, and there is no wife room so far.
Although the Seventh Emperor Brother said that he didn't like those women at all, and not having a wife room was just a way to save trouble, but deep down Liang Xiao still felt a little sorry for him, and always felt that it was because he brought him bad luck, so he would be single from the two-room wife room so far.
But Ah Gu didn't like to hear him say this, Ah Gu couldn't listen to others say that he was an ominous person, so he deliberately didn't talk about the topic here, so as not to make him angry, after thinking about it, he came up with another topic, and he said with a smile:
"In the blink of an eye, Ah Wei has grown up, he used to be such a small one, he has a straight face, in the blink of an eye, he also has a girl, and he is about to get married, hehe, I can still remember what he looked like when he was bullied by the second brother when he was young, the second brother put the caterpillar into his clothes, he waved his fist at the second brother, and the second brother picked him up, but when he turned around, the second brother was blocked by Amin and Ah Tian in the thatched house and beaten, and the three of them beat the father and the eighth uncle, and the three of them all knelt at the door of Penglai Hall for two hours." He laughed out loud.
Liang Gu listened to him remember the old things of his youth, and remembered the embarrassment of the second brother after being beaten by the two brothers who recalled it, and he couldn't hold back for a while, and he burst out laughing.
Liang Xiao was very happy when he saw him smiling, and said with some excitement:
"It's been a long time since we've had dinner together like today, I remember the last time it was when Brother Prince's wedding, since Brother Prince's wedding, we have less and less time to get together, except for the early dynasty when you can meet, but I can't go to court."
"It's not a child, and it's not at Narurenden." Liang Xiao drooped his eyelids and said lightly.
Liang Xiao felt that he suddenly became not very happy, and he didn't seem to like the topic, he was a little embarrassed, and smiled wryly.
Liang Gu sensed his embarrassment, and he didn't want to embarrass him, so after a pause, he said:
"By the way, how about teaching at Ruwen Academy?"
"Although the number of classes taught is not much, there are indeed a few outstanding students in this group of students, and one of the new students enrolled this year is very smart, obedient and smart and very studious, but it is a pity that his temperament is not suitable for being an official."
"What is suitable or not, people can change, no one is born with the same, whether it is suitable or not is acquired."
"That kid is a little difficult, unsociable, too shy, and too honest, and the most important thing is that he is not interested in this."
"Yes." Liang was not very keen on this topic, and responded lightly.
Liang Xiao saw that he didn't like this topic very much, so he shut up and didn't continue, and after a while, he said:
"By the way, today Zhiluo came secretly again, I said her. She still looked disapproving, she said that she would come back tomorrow, this girl is spoiled. It's getting more and more unpleasant. ”
Liang Gu frowned: "She went out of the palace without permission again?" This girl is too restless, and she is about to talk about marriage, why is she still like an ignorant child, becoming more and more willful! ”
"I have heard that my father is interested in making peace with Kosi and wants to marry a princess to Kosi. There are not many princesses in the palace, and even fewer have reached marriageable age. Zhiluo counts as one. Liang Xiao wanted to speak and stopped, the customs and customs of the Kosi country and the Yueliang country were completely different, and the road was far away. If Zhiluo is really with the pro-Kexi Kingdom, I am afraid that he will not want to come back again in this life, he has watched Zhiluo grow up, and it is possible for Zhiluo to go to the matter of kissing. His heart was full of reluctance.
Liang so disagreed: "The princess in the royal family." It is also their duty to be kind, since they have enjoyed the treatment of the princess, they have to assume the mission of the princess, all for Yue Liangguo. ”
This is too businesslike, it sounds a little cruel, after all, it is the younger sister they grew up watching, Liang Xiao's heart is a little unbearable.
"Can Zhiluo return to the palace safely after that?" Liang asked suddenly.
Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment before replying, "I personally sent her back." On the way, she said that she was going to see the sixth aunt, so I sent her to the Jing'an Palace. Speaking of which. When I went to visit the sixth aunt, the sixth aunt also pulled me to ask me if there were any young upstarts in Liangdu who were both talented and good-looking, as if they wanted to choose a son-in-law for the lord of Lingrou County in their house. ”
"Ling Rou is not too young, it's time to choose a son-in-law." Liang was not interested in this topic and said lightly.
Liang Xiao nodded, and when he saw that he was lazy, he didn't mention it again.
Two men sat quietly, one reclining in an armchair contemplating the moonlight outside the window, and the other sitting upright across from him looking at his side face.
Outside the window, autumn is as cool as water......
Jing'an Palace.
After eating wine with a few colleagues, Zhu Pei'an, the king of Jing'an, returned home, staggered towards the main house, and only when he stepped into the courtyard door did he see a quiet and gentle shadow reflected in the window of the house, as if he was flipping a book and reading, with a slender neck and soft lines, which made his heart flutter and rise up a lot of beautiful emotions.
The maid opened the curtain, Zhu Pei'an entered the room with a smile, walked into the east room, and saw the eldest princess Jingyang wearing homely clothes sitting on the soft couch and concentrating on reading a blue booklet, and there were about ten copies of the same blue book on the kang table in front of him.
Zhu Pei'an approached with a smile and called, "Qi'er." ”
The eldest princess Liang Qi seemed to have only discovered that he was back at this time, and when she heard this, she quickly stood up and said with a smile: "The prince is back." He told the maid to fetch water and wring a towel to wipe her husband's face, and asked someone to bring the warm decanting soup from the kitchen.
Zhu Pei'an saw that she was busy, he was very happy, and he didn't stop him, sat down on the soft couch, picked up the booklet on the kang table casually, and flipped through it.
Zhu Pei'an was very surprised, and opened the other booklets, and the dozen or so booklets piled up on the kang table turned out to be this kind of roster, he understood, these booklets are actually the rosters used for blind dates, and the official matchmaker bound the profile and portrait of the marriageable man into a book and sent it to the house where there is a marriageable woman at home, and then asked the man's family to send someone to see each other after screening.
Thinking of Zhu Muyue, the lord of Lingrou County who has reached the marriageable age in his house, Zhu Muyue's attitude towards Liang Qi's stepmother is so bad, but Liang Qi treats her as his own, and now he has to take such trouble to manage Zhu Muyue's marriage, Zhu Pei'an's heart is warm and moved, seeing that Liang Qi personally came over with a sobering soup, he took it with a smile, and drank it all in one breath in her smiling eyes, and her stomach seemed to be ironed smooth and comfortable.
"Where did you get so many rosters?" Knowing the source of the roster, Zhu Pei'an still deliberately asked, which started the conversation between the husband and wife.
Liang Qi glanced at the roster on the kang table with a smile, and said with great interest:
"I asked the official mediator to send it, and these are all rosters of talented young talents in Liangdu City."
"That's too much." Zhu Pei'an said with a smile.
Liang Qi didn't notice the atmosphere in his tone, she was immersed in the deep joy and pleasure of this matter, and she said to him excitedly:
"Not much, not much, marriage is the biggest thing in a girl's life, and it's not too much to pick and choose. That child has no father or mother since she was a child, and she has suffered a lot, if she doesn't pick a good son-in-law who knows cold and hot and hurts, then she is too pitiful. Speaking of this, she became sad again, took a deep breath, and continued, "That's why I asked the official media to send more brochures, how many brochures to send as many brochures, I want to personally check for the child, the child's husband must be a person who knows how to love her, can give her the best life, so that she will not be lacking in her life, I can rest assured that there is such a person by the child's side, I must personally choose this candidate." ”
When she said it before, Zhu Pei'an nodded again and again, he drank some wine, so his brain was not very clear, but he heard the latter words clearly, and he gradually understood what Liang Qi meant, these rosters were not prepared for the county lord of Lingrou at all, obviously, these books are for another person, a person who has suffered a lot since he was a child, and this person is ......
The sobering soup that he had just drunk in one breath was blocked in his stomach again, and Zhu Pei'an suddenly had a feeling of plummeting from heaven to hell, and the previous expectations were too different from the current reality, which made Zhu Pei'an, who had wasted a lot of feelings, feel very annoyed, but he couldn't vent this anger, let alone show excessive entanglement or other emotions about this matter in front of her, he lowered his eyes and tried to adjust the anger that rushed straight to the mortar like a volcano about to erupt, calmed down for a while, and raised his head to look at her, Pi asked with a smile:
"Are you choosing a husband for that girl?"
His attitude was a little strange, but Liang Qi didn't think much about it, he had always been very supportive of finding that child Zhu Pei'an, and she said with great interest:
"Naturally, it was selected for Chan'er, Chan'er is in that kind of family, and she has reached this age, and she has not yet prepared a suitable marriage for her, it must be that the family does not treat her as their own child. But it's okay, that kind of family can't find any good family for that child, I still have to worry about this, find a good child for that child, it's better to be closer, so that the child can stay by my side for a long time. ”
Zhu Pei'an looked at her eyebrows fluttering, his face was slightly gloomy, but Liang Qi was immersed in cheerful joy at the moment, and he didn't notice his expression. (To be continued.) )
