was taken aback by Lai's words.

The mysterious man denied: "It's not me, you recognized the wrong person, I'm just a passerby, where did you come out of nowhere?" ”

Lai smiled evilly and said, "I carry with you the jewels that can buy a city, but I am as bold as a mouse." ”

The mysterious man looked embarrassed, but Lai motioned for him to take a seat, and the mysterious man wiped the chair carefully before sitting down.

Lai confirmed the conjecture in his heart, pointed to the box of jewels and said: "It's enough to buy a city, but if you want to buy Liang Shangshu's life, it's still lighter." ”

"And how much do you want?" The mysterious man no longer denied it, stared at Lai and asked.

Lai said: "There are at least five boxes of such boxes." He stretched out the palm of his right hand.

"Let ...... go" The mysterious man was furious and shouted: "You scorpions can really sit on the ground and raise the price!" Full of nonsense! ”

The corners of Lai's mouth were crooked, and he said coldly: "If I can sit firmly in the first assassination, I will inevitably be higher than others in everything, and I will make a sensation for you, and we can rot to death in our stomachs if you do your secret." ”

The mysterious man was startled and said, "I, what secret do I have?" ”

Lai stopped talking.

The man in black on the side raised his hand and signaled that the mysterious man could leave.

The mysterious man knew that if he didn't return today, the scorpion would never strictly guard his identity.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Good! Five boxes! ”

Lai looked up at him at this time, his eyes were full of cold.

……

Two years later

Qingliu County - Liang Mansion

Tanabata Festival.

"Miss, I can't do it, if the master finds out, he will break my legs." The maid Shadow held the brush with a frightened expression.

Liang Zhen helped her to sit on the chair and comforted: "I won't be discovered, Daddy is going to sleep after reading a book, as long as you sit here and draw turtles and sparrows or something, Daddy won't enter the house." ”

The shadow frowned and said, "Miss, I, I can't draw!" ”

Liang Zhen straightened her spine, helped Ying'er adjust the posture of holding the pen, and said, "Well, then you draw small fish, draw small flowers or something." ”

Shadow muttered, "Little flower? The brush in his hand flew on the rice paper.

Liang Zhen patted her and said, "I'll come back early, the shadow depends on you here." ”

The shadow whispered softly and said weakly: "Miss, do you have to go tonight, can't you go out tomorrow?" ”

Liang Zhen tilted her head and said, "But tonight is Qixi Festival, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are going to meet at Queqiao, I want to go and see it too." ”

Ying'er felt astringent, because Miss was not from Mrs., so she never took Miss out shopping, and two years ago she moved her family to Qingliu County, Miss has no friends here, and it is difficult to go out. Today, too, the old man left a bunch of homework, and the young lady finally finished it in advance, so she wanted to pretend to be herself, so that the young lady could sneak out of the door.

Shadow shouldered the heavy responsibility, nodded and said, "Don't worry, miss, I will paint flowers here well, and I will never let the master find out." ”

Liang Zhen grinned, her little face was even more bright and moving, she stretched out her index finger and promised, "I will come back with delicious rock sugar gourds." ”

When the shadow heard this, her eyes lit up, and she quickly smiled and nodded.

Liang Zhen walked around the garden and walked to the corner, she rubbed her hands and wanted to climb over the wall, she loved to dance since she was a child, and it was not a problem to climb over a small wall. Liang Zhen jumped and climbed onto the wall, and before she could be happy, she was dazzled by the lantern.

She held on to the eaves of the wall with both hands and didn't dare to move, tilted her head, and saw the figure in the courtyard clearly.

Mrs. Liang.

Liang Zhen bit her lip and jumped down obediently.

Hongyue, who was beside Mrs. Liang, was holding a lantern in one hand and covering her mouth in shock with the other, she didn't expect that the usually well-behaved and docile young lady also had the good ability to climb over the wall with one hand.

Liang Zhen jumped down, tidied up the corners of her skirt, and saluted, "Mother." "There was not a hint of fear of being caught.

Mrs. Liang looked at her and remained silent.

Seeing this, Hongyue smiled awkwardly: "The moonlight is so good tonight, did Miss go to the yard to eat?" ”

Liang Zhen was surprised, looked up at her, and Hongyue shook her head at her.

Liang Zhen looked at her mother again, her face was calm, and she did not reveal the shortcomings in Hongyue's words.

Did anyone jump on the eaves of the wall to eat?

Obviously, he was just helping Liang Zhen find an explanation.

Liang Zhen understood, and said lightly: "Yes, the child will retreat first, and he will not disturb his mother." There was a hint of disappointment at the end of the conversation.

Hongyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if the old man knew that Miss went out privately, she would be angry again, although Mrs. didn't love Miss, but just now she secretly gave Miss down the steps, guessing in her heart, Hongyue wanted to help Mrs. leave.

Mrs. Liang looked at Liang Zhen, but said, "I haven't seen you wear this dress." ”

Liang Zhen and Hongyue were both slightly startled, Liang Zhen subconsciously lowered her head and couldn't help blushing.

This blue dress was given to her by her father on her birthday, and she was embroidered with beautiful roses, Liang Zhen was reluctant to wear it, and she wanted to go out secretly tonight......

Mrs. Liang looked at her appearance, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly: "It's very good-looking, just wear this dress and follow me to the poetry meeting." ”

"Huh? Me, me? Liang Zhen blinked and asked.

Mrs. Liang turned around with the support of the red moon and walked towards the main entrance.

Hongyue shouted at Liang Zhen, "Come on, Miss." ”

Liang Zhen was overjoyed, she didn't expect her mother to ...... She hurriedly followed with kicks.

Qingliu County belongs to Yuguo County, with beautiful scenery and mountains and rivers.

Two years ago, after Liang Renxu had a secret conversation with the emperor, he received the holy decree, left Jinjia City with his family and came to Qingliu County, and also pressed the hat of a seven-grade county official.

He governed the place well, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and they were hospitable and lively.

As soon as the big and small festivals arrive, the night market is lit up, the stalls are prosperous, and the restaurant also holds a poetry meeting at the right time, and the talents of Linxian County come one after another.

The sedan chair of the Liang Mansion stopped in front of the door of the Xingmanlou.

Liang Zhen opened the sedan curtain and saw the talented and beautiful women drinking and writing poetry on the second floor through the window.

She has rarely gone out in the past two years since she came to Qingliu County, and it is the first time she knows that Mrs. Liang has this hobby.

Mrs. Liang glanced at Liang Zhen, who was looking curiously, and looked at her jet-black hair and immature face.

Are you sixteen?

The similarities between her gestures made her heart ache faintly......

"Poetry will be boring, you go and walk around at will."

Liang Zhen turned her head when she heard this, but Mrs. Liang had already gotten off the sedan chair with the support of the red moon.

Liang Zhen could only say softly: "Mother......"

Mrs. Liang glanced at her lightly and said, "Go ahead, Hongyue will give Miss a few taels of money." ”

Hongyue took out her purse, Liang Zhen just wanted to wave her hand and say that she had it, Hongyue forced it into her palm, and said with a smile: "Miss is tired of playing, just come back, Mrs. has been waiting for you in Xingmanlou." ”

It turned out that her mother had already seen her careful thoughts, and Liang Zhen's heart warmed, and she said, "Yes, I will come back early." She took her purse and walked down the street with the crowd.

Mrs. Liang looked at Liang Zhen's back, in a faint daze.

Seeing this, Hongyue secretly sighed in her heart, she knew that Madame would often be like this, and Miss's birth was a thorn in Madame's heart, and she wanted to love and was afraid of pain.

Hongyue wanted to help his wife in.

Mrs. Liang only whispered: "Her mother was unparalleled at that time, and she is even more unqualified now." ”

"Madame......"
