Chapter 8 The Liang Family
Ma Pinyuan knew that Wang San was going to ask, and he didn't think it was strange, but it was himself who was the son of a big tea household, but he was in contact with an unfavored little daughter of the Liang family.
Even if the Liang family wants more tea than any shop in Baidi City, no tea household has taken the initiative to make friends with the Liang family, after all, the tea in Baidi City relies on the big merchants who come and go to open the market outside.
"This has to start from last year, but I said don't tell my father, I'm afraid he won't be happy."
"Hmm."
"One afternoon in late autumn last year, I was teasing the cat at home, and my cousin sent someone to call me here immediately, saying that the brother-in-law of the Gao family was in trouble, I knew that this brother-in-law has always been high-spirited, and he didn't want to bow his head or suffer any losses when he provoked anyone, I didn't want to go, let him learn a lesson, and I was afraid that my cousin would be bullied, so I went."
"And then?"
"By the time I arrived, my cousin was already thanking Liang Tian for her kindness, saying that she helped my brother-in-law solve it, although I don't know what happened, but I also owe a favor."
"Your sister owes a favor, why should you care."
Ma Pinyuan was a little shocked, other cousins don't have to say what the relationship is, but cousin Yi was raised in her own family as a sister since she was a child, and the third brother didn't know about this relationship.
Seeing that Ma Pinyuan didn't continue, Wang San continued to ask, "Later, wouldn't it be nice for you to send some tea?" ”
"I sent it, but she didn't accept it, she said that she was just doing it with her hands, and she didn't take it to heart, just said that I called her more and let her earn more pocket money."
"What about asking someone to ask you for tea, listening to your words was after the Xia family came this year, and your relationship has not yet reached the point where she can come to explore your family's secrets."
Ma Pinyuan knew that the third brother had always been keen, and he hadn't figured out the strangeness of this matter, but he was hit by an outsider and couldn't help but be defeated.
"After that, there were indeed a lot of contacts, but she never came to me privately, but she went to her cousin's house many times, and she usually didn't ask for anything, so I didn't understand why she asked someone to come to me at that time."
"In that case, then you can just get along normally, and leave the rest to me."
Ma Pinyuan thought about it, so he didn't take it to heart, and then learned everything that happened when Xia Zhongda came to Wang San, but Wang San didn't make any comments, and when the two were chatting, it was getting late inadvertently, so they went back.
The terrain of Baidi City is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, the southeast is located gently and extends in all directions and there are waterways to communicate with the outside, while the northwest is a lofty mountain, often to climb over the mountains and walk, so the northwest is sparsely populated, except for some tea households who have to gain a foothold here, fewer people are willing to come here to walk around.
But the Liang family from other towns didn't think so, since they got a foothold in this white city, they couldn't wait to buy a house in the northwest mountains, some of the dilapidated portals thought that this land was a chicken rib, and when they saw someone bidding, they sold it and went to the city to replace the shop.
In the end, the Liang family gathered the fragmented land on the northwest mountain and built a more and more elegant mountain teahouse, and not far from the teahouse is the Liang family's base camp.
The pear blossoms in the mountains have always bloomed later, although it is April, the pear blossoms in the Liang house are still in full bloom, the occasional mountain breeze blows the pear blossoms dance, the old man sitting on the Taishi chair under the pear blossom tree is enjoying it with his eyes closed, and it is not someone else who is standing aside and bowing slightly, it is Liang Xian, the head of the Liang family.
After a long time, the old man opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, there were still some pear blossoms in his hair, and his clothes were clean, and he couldn't help frowning, "What's the matter today, you don't make your own decisions about everything now, so big that you can't hold back and think of the old man?" ”
Liang Xian hadn't spoken yet, until he was taught a lesson by the old man, but when he thought of Liang Tian's incident a few days ago, he had to lower his head again, although he didn't participate in that incident, he didn't stop the third brother from doing it at all, and when he came back, he was scolded by the old man with a slap on his head and face.
"No, it's Xia Zhongda who came, according to the spies, Ma Bin didn't see him, it was Ma Pin's foresight, and he was very unhappy, the shopkeeper Xiao of the Ma family was following Xia Zhongda to drink tea in one of our teahouses, so I came to ask my father what to do."
The old man didn't reply to Liang Xian's words, following the direction of the old man's field of vision, only the distant mountain surrounded by mist was still not clear to see, and after a long time, he asked casually, "What did Liang Tian say over there?" ”
Liang Xian didn't understand when the old man was so interested in Liang Tian, Liang Tian, as the most inconspicuous youngest daughter of the third brother's family, had always been classified as an existence outside the Liang family.
Later, this little girl actually ran back to complain to the old lady about herself, saying that she couldn't use her name to find Ma Pinyuan or something, a little girl sacrificed her false favors, and what face did she have to stop it, and she didn't call Ma Pinyuan, she blamed her for not being enthusiastic.
"She is still the same as usual, but this afternoon, someone said that she asked the cook to prepare some southern pastries and send them to the small proprietor of Bihua Pavilion, saying that she was grateful."
Old Man Liang was a little shocked at first, but then maintained his demeanor just now, and after a long time, he said, "Go and do it." ”
Liang Xian wanted to say something more, but when he thought about the old man's temper, he also retreated, when did it start, the old man became slow to do everything, and he became incomprehensible, maybe it was after he retired, maybe it was the previous defeat, he obviously preferred the father who was kind to him before.
Suddenly I felt ridiculous, people in their forties, according to the words of the scholar, they were already not confused, and when they should be able to be called famous, they always followed their father's ass and obeyed the dispatch, although they were in front of a beautiful Liang family, but who didn't point behind their backs. Sometimes I hope that this backer will disappear as soon as possible, and sometimes I am afraid.
After Liang Xian came out of the old lady's courtyard, he didn't care about his son Liang Huai'an's slightly uneasy greetings on the side, so he went straight out of the door and went straight to Lilac Garden.
