Chapter 97: Scattered (2)

Rong Ying's eyes began to fog again, the kind of appearance hidden in the fog, even Liang Wei was scared. After all, it was on his territory, Liang Wei thought for a while and said, "You don't have to interfere in my business." My father is dying, and there are some things I have to do. ”

"If it's Yanzhou, I'll cede it to you, and you can go back" Rong Ying saw through Liang Wei's thoughts at a glance, but with a wave of his hand, he generously ceded such a fertile land as Yanzhou.

"You?" Liang Wei only thought that he had misheard.

"Do you want to go," Rong Ying asked, turning her face away.

"Yes, here I am, a bomb that will explode at any moment." Liang Wei can see Rong Ying's intentions, he must be weak-hearted, so he will take such a risk to find himself.

Rong Ying saw that Liang Wei began to follow his thoughts, so he nodded, "It's right for you to think so." ”

"Then you can write a paperwork," Liang Wei stretched out his hand and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I think you're crazy" As soon as Rong Ying heard Liang Wei say this, she knew that he would not leave so easily.

"You killed Ming and the other eight guards, this account, we have to settle it now, you either write down the paperwork, I take this paperwork, leave now, or you leave, what do I do, you don't have to interfere." Liang Wei knocked on the table, which was a sign of his impatience.

Rong Ying said: "I want to hear the third option. ”

"That woman as a bargaining chip, when you hand over Yanzhou to me, I will..."

"What woman?" Rong Ying denied it with some eagerness.

Liang Wei smiled, turned his head, and looked at Rong Ying coldly, "A woman, a woman with a slender posture and a smart woman who makes your heart move." ”

"I don't know who you're talking about, anyway, you're leaving now, you've already seen Jiang Yang's eyes. You don't really believe that you are the son of Lord Que. Rong Ying still denied it to the end.

"Your eldest brother's matter gave me a very good hint, Rong Ying looked at you, as if you didn't have the slightest weakness, but now, I hold your most fatal weakness." Liang Wei is still a smug picture.

Rong Ying smiled: "Do you know the founding emperor of our Great Sage? ”

"Why do you say this all of a sudden?" I don't know why I changed Liang Wei now.

"I just want to tell you about them. Empress Zhang, the founder of the country, most of the Holy Land was fought down by her or her subordinates, or even her fiancΓ©. In particular, the two hinterland city-states of Huzhou and Fuzhou were laid down by General Shen under Empress Zhang. Emperor Taizu is just a one, and the name of Empress Zhang's fiancΓ©'s younger brother has the final status. But he really loved Empress Zhang, and sacrificed himself several times, and finally moved her iron-like, so Empress Zhang was with him, thinking that the two could live for a lifetime. But only three years after the founding of the country, Queen Zhang was forced to jump back to the cliff, and there was no corpse, and now in the royal tomb, it is just an empty mound of clothes, and the empty is to satirize this relationship. ”

"When did you start to like storytelling?" Liang Wei knocked on the table impatiently.

"I'm telling you, a man's love is nothing in front of the world. And I can tell you with great certainty that I don't have any lovers. If you have to find a handle in your hand, then you go to the royal tomb and dig up my princess, and I will not stop you. ”

"And what about your son?"

"Then be careful, your son." Rong Ying's voice was not loud, and she looked like she was bound to win, but Liang Wei loosened her tone, "Then I..."

Rong Ying waited for a long time, and before he could say what he was going to say, he suddenly swallowed a mouthful of saliva a little nervously.

He won't...

"Since you can't meet my request, then, don't meddle in my affairs," said Liang Wei to send off the guest.

"She is now the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, you can't afford to mess with her."

Liang Wei raised his eyebrows in surprise, "So, there really is such a person"

"Anyway, let's talk" Rong Ying's words were full of threats, but he found that the more this happened, the more excited Liang Wei became, and the look in his eyes was almost uncontrollable.

"Well said, well said." With that, Liang Wei sent Rong Ying out of the door.

After closing the door, Liang Wei couldn't help but smile, "The two princes of this great saint are really, affectionate." ”

"Prince, everything is arranged" The guard "Bing" came in from the window, he was the one with the best martial arts and the most stable work among the secret guards brought by Liang Wei this time.

"Xu Xinyue, how are you inquiring?" Liang Wei asked.

"For example, there is no discrepancy in the news I received last time, and I live in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing. However, recently, the Empress Dowager is not in good health, and there seems to be a sign of death, and she is trying her best to match Xu Xinyue and Jiang Yang of the Jiang family to marry, and the two families are waiting for the state funeral, and then there will be the next move. ”

"She was originally the granddaughter-in-law of King Yu, and later became a candidate for the crown prince's side concubine, and now she is going to marry into the Jiang family, this woman is really not simple." Liang Wei thought back to the eldest lady with a hat he met in the West Market that day, and at that time he saw that the woman was the one who was going to marry Jiang Yang, and now that he thinks about it, it is the famous Xu Xinyue.

"Moreover, King Jin really cares about her, he has saved her life many times, and he has a big temper because he is jealous of his close relationship with the Jiang family."

Liang Wei was a little incredulous when he heard it: "You said Rong Ying? Lose one's temper? ”

"Yes, I quarreled with Xu Xinyue for a long time. After returning home, I also broke a lot of things," Bing reported truthfully according to what he and his subordinates had seen.

"Tantrums, Rong Ying lost his temper." Liang Wei was a little pensive, because Rong Ying is this person, he has the ability to hide his emotions very deeply, and the emotions he reveals are all the emotions he wants to show to people, and the rest, you can't see it anymore.

In this way, there is a big gap in the ability to thoroughly understand this person, because you have no way to find out where his heart is.

Just now, Liang Wei still had doubts in his heart, but hearing what Bing said, he seemed to have a fixed number.

He looked at Bing with a determined look in his eyes, "Then do it." ”

Xinyue, who had a good night's sleep, naturally didn't know what conspiracy had been achieved, she just slept with one arm pressed on one side, and slept a little numb. I opened my eyes dimly, and suddenly saw the clothes I had done last night and hung on the side of the bed, and smiled.

At first glance, I thought there was a man lying there, but when I looked closely, it turned out that he had put his clothes on the quilt, and his clothes bulged.

Feng'er walked in, and Xinyue was stretching her waist, reaching out to Feng'er and saying, "Fold this dress and put it in the cupboard." ”

"The girl has been doing it for a few days, and she only finished it last night, what are you doing in the cupboard?" Feng'er looked at the fine stitches on the robe and the black blue under the eyes of the new moon, which showed her intentions.

It's just that Xinyue still shook her head, "I just remembered to do it by accident, and the weather became warm after the Spring Festival, and I couldn't wear it when I gave it away."

"Yes" Seeing Xinyue's insistence, Feng'er put the clothes away.

Crescent Moon got up from the bed with her shoes on, moving her somewhat numb arms while tidying up the clothes on her body, and suddenly smelled a hint of coldness from the half-hidden door.

"Is it snowing?" Crescent Moon asked Fei'er, who had just entered the door, in surprise.

Fei'er put the water on the basin rack, rubbed her frozen red ears and nodded, "Yes, it's snowing so much, and it's silent, and it's only discovered by the minions who got up early to sweep the yard." ”

"Great," said Xinyue and was about to go outside, but was pulled by Fei'er, "Girl, you don't want to die, go outside in this single dress." ”

"I forgot," Crescent Moon was very happy to see the snow, and then turned around and got dressed as fast as she could.

The straps of the crescent moon coat were not fastened, so they ran out, the snow on the steps had been swept away, and there were indeed no footprints on either side of the road, and there was no ankle snow, it was hard to believe that it had fallen overnight, and the crescent moon looked up at the sky that was no longer gloomy, and said with some pity, "I'm afraid I won't see snow this year." ”

"Girl, Jinling may be the last snow, but there will be a lot of snow in the eastern capital every spring, and no matter how far away the Liang country is, even in April, it will snow." Fei'er draped her cloak over Crescent's shoulders, and Crescent reached out and held a handful of snow in her hand, slowly waiting for it to melt at her own body temperature.

Feng'er brought breakfast and saw that Xinyue was holding a large piece of snow in her hand, but she didn't stop it, but asked Cui'er to install a hand stove to prepare.

There was a tingling sensation in the snow in the palm of her hand, Xinyue looked at her palm and began to redden, and the snow melted faster and faster, who knows if she could see it, or a piece of snow was a little dazzling, Xinyue felt that her eyes were dark, and her body also lost her center of gravity a little, fortunately, she was dressed thick enough, and fell on the soft snow, she didn't feel a little pain on her body, but felt a burst of joy in her heart, which made her laugh from ear to ear.

After playing in the snow for a while, my heart was happy, Xinyue was really a little hungry, sitting behind the dinner table, because her hands were a little stiff, she could only warm up the stove first, and Feng'er was serving her porridge.

Xinyue raised her head and said to Feng'er, "Today, you can enter the palace with me alone, I guess that because of the national funeral, the dinner will not be too long, and the city gate in the northwest will not be closed until midnight, and we will go and come back on the same day, so we will not settle in the Hou Mansion." ”

"Yes, at the girl's command."

"Are all the congratulatory gifts I asked you to prepare?" Crescent Moon put down the stove in her hand, picked up the spoon on the side, and began to eat her breakfast in an orderly manner.

"Yes, everything is ready, the share of the Hou Mansion was sent early in the morning, and the three copies for the Queen Mother, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have all been loaded in the carriage."

"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, let the people, after we leave, just rest, if you have a home, you can also go home, today's night reward is three times the moon silver, the rest is twice the reward, and the other rewards are for you to let Mother Wang look at it."

"The guards?" Thinking of the events of that night, Feng'er asked with some anxiety.

"I don't have to talk to the guards today, this holy capital city, peaceful and prosperous, can anything else happen? Leave two guards on duty for the night, and let the rest rest. As he spoke, Xinyue finished drinking the porridge in his hand, and handed the bowl to Feng'er, "I'm serving a bowl." ”

"Girl, you..."

"I went to the palace banquet today, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat enough. It's better to eat more now, you ask Mama Wang to make me a small banquet noodles, I will eat it when I come back. ”

"Yes, isn't that the case every year? This year, Mama has been preparing early. ”

"Don't want chicken soup" Xinyue picked up a chopsticks and melon vegetables, put it in his mouth, every year in the past, Mama Wang had to boil a pot of thick chicken soup for Xinyue shabu to eat before dawn, "This year, change it to pork rib soup." ”

"Yes" Feng'er got up early to see that Mama Wang's chicken soup had already been stewed, which would tell her that she would be very disappointed, but Xinyue now not to mention chicken soup, even her favorite white chopped chicken is less eaten.

"Girl, can you wear that new skirt made this year today?" As she spoke, Fei'er took out the jacket from the closet, which was black and red, and the pink skirt underneath, and Xinyue looked at the embroidery of plum blossoms and climbing branches on it and shook her head, "Take that pale blue skirt, I think it's better to wear it." ”

"Yes" the pale cyan, the skirt painted with embroidered landscapes is also newly made, but at the palace banquet, it is inevitable that it is a little plain, the new moon stood in front of the bronze mirror, and also felt that this was the case, so he opened the box, took out two step shakes from it, and replaced the hosta on his head with a golden hairpin, and also wore a pink velvet hairpin, so that he could neutralize the simplicity of the clothes. She raised her head, revealing her slender neck, and put a snow-white collar around her neck, and finally under the button of the collar, a string of neck ornaments made of jade and coral, emerald and red, decorated with Jintian, also looked chic, and should be the festive day of Chinese New Year's Eve.

Sitting in the carriage, Xinyue looked at the tips of her shoes, because she was afraid that she would have to move around more today, so she changed into a pair of light embroidered shoes, and sat in the newly made carriage at this time, and carefully shook the tassels on the tips of her shoes.

Feng'er put away the crescent moon's cloak and bent down to arrange the tassels on the tips of her shoes, "Girl, be honest." ”

After hearing this, Crescent Moon nodded, "Is it almost there?" ”

"It's so fast when I just entered the city, and we didn't send a worship sticker, so it's really appropriate to go to the Hou Mansion like this?" Feng'er said with some concern.

The new moon lowered her eyebrows, "That's what you want, let's go"

"Yes" Feng'er lifted the curtain and watched the carriage go up to the Hou Mansion step by step.

It didn't take long for the carriage to stop, and Xinyue knew that the Marquis of Jiang's Changdu Marquis Mansion had arrived.

Because Marquis Jiang only has two sons, although they each have their own official residences, but the Marquis Mansion of Qamdo was given by the first emperor, and the place is very large, so the two brothers Jiang Zan and Jiang Yang did not have separate mansions, but lived in the east and west courtyards, and Marquis Jiang and Mrs. Zhuang lived in the middle courtyard.

Xinyue opened the curtain, looked at Feng'er who handed over the post, and saw that the little guy who received the post trotted to the back house.

After a while, the new moon saw the little girl come back, followed by a grandmother who was neat and tidy at a glance, who came to welcome the new moon.

Xinyue got out of the car, because she was not wearing a cloak, she was shivering with cold, and the grandmother immediately walked a few steps quickly and refused to stand in front of Xinyue, "Crescent Moon girl, why are you here on this cold day?" ”

Xinyue looked at the cloak handed over by Feng'er, and then turned her face to the grandmother and said, "The first time I saw Grandma, I also asked Grandma's name, where are you waiting?" ”

"Look at the old slave, the old slave is Mrs. Zhuang's dowry maid, the ladies in the house all call me Mama Lin, if the girl doesn't dislike it, just call me Mama Lin."

"I've seen Mama, it's like this, the little girl entered the palace to participate in the palace banquet, a pair of warm sleeves made for Mrs. Zhuang this year ago, this leather is still given to the little girl by the old lady, I am also returning to the original owner, and please accept it on behalf of Mama, the house should be very busy, and the little girl will not go in to disturb." Saying that, Xinyue saw that Mama Lin accepted the brocade box and was about to leave, and was immediately stopped by Mama Lin, "Girl, you are all at the door, how can there be any reason not to go in, Madame is already waiting for you in the hall?" Get on in. ”

Xinyue did not shirk and entered Jiangfu.

Although Xinyue has been to the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, this is the first time to come to the Hou Mansion of Changdu, looking around, there is the style of the imperial gift everywhere, and the warmth of the three generations of the Jiang family live, this is a very good Hou Mansion.

Entering the back house from the side door, more than a dozen steps away is the courtyard of Mrs. Zhuang, and when she arrived at the door, Mama Lin said, "Girl later"

Seeing Xinyue nodded, he took the box in his hand and entered the main house, and after a while, the old lady Zhuang personally greeted her, and Xinyue was flattered, "Why bother the old lady to come out in person." ”

"Knowing that you are outside the door, I can't help but not come to greet you, come, come in," he said, taking Crescent Moon's hand and entering the house.

Mrs. Zhuang's room, like an ordinary main house, is no different, the furnishings in the room have been cleaned because of the New Year, and the mat has been replaced with a new mat of Panzhi brocade cloth, and the crimson curtain has just been replaced, and there is no ash at all. The layout of the room, on the left is the bedroom, on the right is a bookcase, and there is a pair of ink treasures hanging on it.

Xinyue remembered that Mrs. Zhuang was a person who loved to write calligraphy, so it was a pair she had just written in the morning.

Mrs. Zhuang saw that Xinyue's hands were very cold, so she asked Mama Lin to get her a stove, Xinyue held the stove and smiled, "It's not the little girl's, because I think the skin that Mrs. gave to the little girl is too good, and I want to make a sleeve warmer for Mrs. Zhuang, but my hands and feet are slow, and I can do it last night. ”

Mrs. Zhuang opened the brocade box on the side, and saw that the warm sleeves in the box were very good, and the embedded brocade cloth was also embroidered with lotus flowers, which showed that she had put her mind into it, and when she sent the skins, it was only twenty-six or four days, and it had been done, and she really wanted it, "Why do you want to do it yourself, those skins, it is Yang'er who wants, you haven't seen his battle, you want to move a room of skins to you, I am also afraid that he will scare you like this, so I chose some good ones for you to send, if you like it, I'll send you another car after the New Year. ”

Xinyue listened, pursed her lips, this is really wealthy, this is a gift of skins, directly about the car, shook her head, "Madam, don't send it again, the skins on my Zhuangzi are also piled up a lot, and I didn't let them send them this year." And the lady gave me are all excellent skins, I really dare not bear it, this good skin, you take it yourself, send it to the little girl, the little girl will make knee pads, wrist gloves and then send it back to you. ”

"You don't have to be troublesome, okay, I won't send it, are you on your way to the palace banquet?"

Xinyue nodded, "Yes, the Queen Mother is unwell, the little girl wants to go into the palace in advance to see her, and after drinking this cup of tea at Madame's place, the little girl left." ”

"But you don't have to go too early today, the Queen Mother, I was a little sleepy a few days ago, you go now, if you don't see the Queen Mother, don't say it, it's easy to affect the Queen Mother's rest. After eating at home, come with me into the palace. ”

Hearing Mrs. Zhuang say this, Xinyue frowned, the Queen Mother's condition worsened, and she couldn't help but worry, but it was true that as Mrs. Zhuang said, it would not be good to disturb the Queen Mother's rest, "Since this is the case, then Xinyue is better than obeying her fate respectfully." ”

"You came just in time, the kitchen just said that I killed a sheep yesterday, and I will eat it in a stew pot today" Mrs. Zhuang saw last time that Xinyue is a woman who likes to eat and loves to eat, and if there is delicious food at home, she will be able to keep her.

Crescent Moon nodded, "The newly killed sheep are excellent for stew. ”

The pot with a charcoal fire and a slightly boiling pot is from the Liang country, where it is very cold and hot for most of the year, which is what they eat daily in winter.

"I know you like it, go, call the eldest lady, and then call the girl Ya to meet the new moon."

"Grace is that?" Xinyue remembered that Chen had only one daughter, who was already married.

"It's Feng'er's cousin, my parents didn't come back during their tenure, they lived in their grandparents' house, they came to the house yesterday as a guest, and now they are in your sister-in-law Chen's house."

This Ya'er, thinking that she is the niece of Jiang Yang's wife Zhang, Xinyue was really a little apprehensive when she heard it.

"Grandmother, Feng'er is here to greet you" No one announced, and a young man in a half-new riding and archery suit came in through the curtain outside.

Xinyue looked up and stood up, and saw that it was Jiang Yang's son Jiang Feng who came in.

"Feng'er is here, hurry up and come in, it's cold outside. Why is this still wearing a riding and archery suit? Dragged by your Lao Tzu to run a horse again? Don't let go of this Chinese New Year's Eve? "Old Madam Zhuang, you cherish this little grandson, as soon as you see him come in, you ask questions, and you even stood up and pulled him personally, looking at him very kindly.

"Oh, grandmother, my father said, this practice of riding and archery, you can't relax for a day. Today it was not my father who pulled me, but my grandson took the initiative to go, but Sun Er remembered his grandmother's teachings and came back after only two laps on the school field. "This young man is very good at talking, but he keeps looking at the new moon, and the new moon is a little hairy by him, thinking that he is only a ten-year-old boy, and the city government is still shallow, so he doesn't care about him in general.

"Well, just remember my grandmother's church. Come, this is Xu Hounu of Anxuanhou Mansion, Xinyue, this is Jiang Yang's eldest son Feng'er. Mrs. Zhuang introduced the two of them.

Jiang Feng restrained his hand, "I've seen Xu Hounu." ”

"The little young master doesn't have to be polite, the little girl has seen the little young master." As he spoke, the new moon also refused to bow.

After the two met the ceremony, Mrs. Zhuang was very happy and asked the two to sit down, "Feng'er, this is the Xu Hounu that grandmother told you before, you will see each other often in the future, and you must respect and love each other when you get along." ”
