Chapter 32: Accidental Collision
Just after the hour, at the beginning of the hour, some pale lower quarter moon was still hanging in the air, in the west wing room in the west courtyard of the Liang house, there was a sound of rustling, followed by a sound of pulling shoes and scraping the ground, dingΒ·Β·Β· DingΒ·Β·Β· Sparks were rising from the flint, and in an instant the whole room was lit up by the tiny light of the fire.
Liang Tian was wearing a tulle coat, on the soft collapse, supporting his entire body with his elbows, looking at the bright moon outside the window, and holding the bright moon with his hand, in vain he found the shadow on the back of his hand, and withdrew his hand timidly.
In recent years, because of being in Huan Garden, Liang Tian has always cleaned up the teapots in the garden when he was in the middle of the day, although he has changed places, the habit has been formed, and it is difficult to change it. In the Liang Mansion of Nuoda, there is no sound, and there is a high wall to block it, and the insects and birds in the mountains seem to be far away in the sky. The wax torch in the room was shining, and in the near distance, it was no weaker than the moonlight in the distance.
As the crescent moon in the sky slowly faded, the house began to become clearer, and finally there was a sound of footsteps falling in the courtyard, Liang Tian went to the east kitchen to get a basin of hot water and went back to the room to wash, and the mother-in-law who lit the fire said behind him, "Third girl, the young master Huai'an in the big room today is going down the mountain, and I have promised to take a ride, I will steam some egg custard for you, and I will send it to your house later." β
"Then there will be Lao Wang's mother."
The woman smiled innocently, "Where, my unfortunate son is often taken care of by the third girl in the garden, so I should thank you well." "Kindness for a reason is better than for no reason, which makes Liang Tian feel down-to-earth.
When Liang Tian came out of the house again, he had changed into a bright green cardigan skirt, his hair was combed into the current fashionable hairstyle, and his makeup was also carefully decorated, which was a little more colorful than when he was in the garden.
"Third girl, there's a message from the concierge that you can leave at any time."
"Got it." Liang Tian said, then went out of the yard, and when he arrived at the gate, a food box was handed over from the gatehouse, "The old lady gave it in the room, and the three girls can use it when they go out." β
Liang Tian took the food box, thinking that this was really a hurry, and in order to order tea, he rushed to send people outside. Out of the gate, Liang Huai'an in the big room was already waiting by the carriage.
Dressed in white clothes to really look like a humble son, some people are born like this, they were raised by a group of people, and no one can get rid of the silt in the Liang family's pond, but they just set aside a clean piece of land to raise a clean son.
In this Liang family, if you really want to pick a nasty person, it is the only person like the son of heaven, although Liang Tian thought so in his heart, he had to smile on his face, and said softly, "Let Brother Huai'an wait." β
"No, this carriage is also a seat for one person, two people also sit, and someone on the road can talk for a while."
The stables of the Liang family are set up in the garden on the side, most of them are for the nobles who come and go, and the Liang family uses less of them, especially when there are many people in April, the man who manages the horse is even more to watch people get off the plate, and he will inevitably be rejected if he goes to use the carriage, and the treatment of this eldest prince is really different.
Huai'an saw Liang Tian in a daze, so he reached out to hold her, and then suddenly thought of something, so he retracted his hand and said curtly, "Sister Tian, please first." β
Liang Tian didn't refuse, went straight to the carriage, and sat on the side.
"Where is Sister Tian going, I'll send you over first."
"Then please ask Brother Huai'an to send it to the edge of the Ma family's house in the north of the city."
Huai'an's face was obviously shocked, but in the end, it was a gentle son, and he returned to normal in a moment, and said to the coachman in front of him with a little hoarseness, "Go to Ma's house in the north of the city first." The coachman listened to the order, and the carriage went faster.
It's just a few words of gossip, but Liang Tian feels that this time is like water with sand, and it can't flow.
After half a ring, he finally arrived near the Ma family's house, and Liang Tian couldn't wait to get out of the car, originally to hide from people, but in Huai'an's eyes, it became an eager meeting.
Liang Tian did not go to the Ma family's house, but went around to Mingyi's house behind the Ma family's house, and was about to knock on the door, but he heard a noise inside, and he was curious, so he put down his hand and listened with his ear.
"What the hell do you have to say to make you believe me!" A slightly crying female voice must be Mingyi.
The other male voice should be Gao Jin's voice, a slightly high-pitched voice, which is the tone of the usual literati, "Shameless!" Do you know what people out there say about me? The concubines all floated to the surface. β
Mingyi was still crying, she didn't expect Gao Jin to say such ugly words, "That's my uncle who went to find him, he was the one who did these things for the Ma family, why don't you believe me." I haven't seen him once in the past few years, why do you want to listen to those people outside chewing on the root of their tongues. β
"Hmph, chew the root of your tongue! If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do. There was another crackling sound of things shattering, and then the footsteps getting closer and closer, presumably going out. Liang Tian had to find a corner to hide, and saw that the man went out and didn't come back before returning to the door.
After a long time, the sobbing sound in the courtyard became smaller and smaller, and Liang Tian straightened his clothes and walked to knock on the door. The one who came to open the door was the mother-in-law who had seen her before, and her eyes were also full of tears, seeing that it was Liang Tian, her eyes were a little evasive, afraid that people would see the embarrassment in this house, so she turned her head and shouted easily, "Girl, it's Miss Liang who is here." β
After a sniffing sound came from the room, the words came out, "Please come in." Liang Tian followed his mother-in-law in, and there was no surprise that he was in a mess. Two of the three people in the room were red-eyed, but this scholar who didn't beat or scold hurt people, but he was a curse.
Mingyi, who is usually always refreshing, had messy hair and red eyes at this time, so she was not embarrassed, and said with a reluctant smile, "Let you see the joke, please sit down." β
Liang Tian was relieved but didn't know where to start, not to mention that the degree of interaction between the two was far from being able to persuade the husband and wife to quarrel, it was just his own wishful thinking, shook his head, found a stool and sat down, stared blankly, and didn't speak.
Mingyi was a little embarrassed, called Mother Lin to clean up the broken porcelain on the ground, and said to Liang Tian, "I asked you to come over to visit the door, but I let you see this look, and I hope Miss Liang will be considerate, I can't go with you to see Pinyuan today." β
"It's not in the way, you made me feel pity when I saw it like this, but I didn't know what to say, so that you would be sad when you heard it. No matter what people say about you, I only believe you as I know you. β
Ming Yi was already a little better, but when she heard this, she felt aggrieved, and her tears were even better, a few years of life is not as good as the trust of a stranger.
There was silence again... After a long time, there was a knock on the door, Ming Yi wiped the tears on her face and asked Mother Lin to open the door. The person who came was the shopkeeper Xiao, and the guess in his heart when he saw this scene was also eight or nine, and he still said respectfully, "The master asked me to come and see the girl, Gao Gongzi should have been angry yesterday, but the master was also forced at that time, and there was really no more suitable person." β
"Uncle Xiao, I didn't blame the uncle, it was a great favor for him to redeem the house for me. I'm just thinking that I'm not worthy, what kind of person I am, he should know best, but he doesn't want to understand, just because I've fed the dog all these years with my sincerity. β
"Girl, don't be angry, the master said that the Ma family's room is still for you, and you can go back at any time if you want to go back."
"Uncle Xiao, thank you uncle for me, he went back to his brother earlier, how can he come back to hinder his eyes." Ming Yi got up, gave the contract of yesterday's shop to Uncle Xiao, and said, "This shop should stay with the uncle first, in the end, it is unreasonable, just think that I gave Mingxin's shop in advance." β
"Girl..." Shopkeeper Xiao was a little embarrassed, and he had to take it after some excuses, and then ask the master to make a decision again, and took out a brocade bag from his pocket and gave it to Mingyi. "This is a little bit of the master's heart, if there is anything that needs to be added at home, I will add some, and I will take this contract back first."
