Chapter 146: Zhang Niangzi
The Liang family's house, which has always been like a pool of stagnant water, has recently had some chickens and dogs jumping, although the most ferocious thing is still in the northwest house, but to trace back to the source, this matter has to start with Liang Huai'an, who moved out and set up his own door.
Since Huai'an said goodbye to Zhou Niangzi, she went to her father-in-law's house to take Zhang Niangzi back to live, and she went out early and returned late every day, reporting everything, for a while.
At noon that day, Huai'an was taking a carriage to the Huanyuan Garden, but on the way, he encountered someone who came to mess around, attracting a bunch of people to take a look. Seeing the excitement is not a big deal, and being instigated by the person who touched the porcelain, he has to ask the owner sitting behind him to come out to comment, whether the coachman recklessly hit someone, or he took the wrong way.
Huai'an has always been benevolent, and he can't stand being picked up, so he was told to get out of the car, apologized to the man, lost the money, and asked someone to open the way.
The man was not a difficult person after all, and after taking two taels of silver, he really walked away, and swayed around the alley to drink. The coachman thanked Huai'an again and said a good word to Huai'an, and the two got into the carriage and got on the road again.
It's just that this car is no longer too peaceful, just now while everyone is chaotic, there is no one to guard the car, and one person has already gotten into the car, just waiting for Huai'an to go back.
When Huai'an was about to open the curtain and saw the red skirt, he understood that this was a scene, covered the curtain, and after going in and sat down, he let the coachman continue to drive.
The two people in the car were speechless, Huai'an moved his body and sat away from the woman, and the woman leaned over again, flattering, teary-eyed, and looked at Huai'an pitifully.
Huai'an sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Why do you have to come again?" We can't be together anymore. โ
"Brother Huai'an." The woman was even more pitiful, and cried softly.
Huai'an rubbed his eyes, which had already darkened due to insomnia, and said to the driver in front of him, "Drive the car to the eastern suburbs, I have something to do." โ
When the coachman got the order, he turned the cart and went to the eastern suburbs. The woman in the car was overjoyed, pounced on Huai'an, and said softly, "I know that Brother Huai'an is the most reluctant to me." โ
After arriving on the street in the eastern suburbs, Huai'an took the coachman away again, avoided people's eyes, and walked to her house with Zhou Ling'er.
"They watched closely, and they put their eyes and ears around me, you shouldn't have come again." When he arrived at home, Huai'an spoke.
Zhou Ling'er didn't care about this, hugged him early, and said to Huai'an, "Brother Huai'an, why does she take care of you so much, if you don't come to see me again, I'm going to die." โ
Huai An smoothed Zhou Ling'er's hair, thinking in his heart that he was a little frizzy, and said, "If you are really my own sister, I can see you every day and be good to you." They shouldn't have been greedy for this month's money, right? โ
"I don't want to be your own sister, I want to marry you, have a child with you, watch my children and grandchildren go around my knees, and live for a long time." Zhou Linger said stubbornly.
"Ling'er..." Huai'an hugged the man tighter.

At night, Huai'an slowly returned from the eastern suburbs, and entered the courtyard under the moonlight, and saw Zhang Niangzi moving a chair against the door, waiting for herself.
"I'm back." It was a question, and it was like a greeting word, Zhang Niangzi did not greet her as usual, just sat there, and did not move.
Huai'an dusted off his clothes, pulled up his cuffs again, walked over, and said with a smile, "I'm back, aren't you going to sleep yet?" It's been a busy day. โ
Zhang Niangzi didn't move, only glanced at Huai'an, then took her gaze back, and said with a calm face, "Then the eastern suburbs are also within the range of your busy today?" โ
Huai'an knew that the driver of the Zhang family would naturally tell Mrs. Zhang about it immediately, and on the way back, he had already thought of countermeasures, so he said softly, "It's just to go to see my cousin, and when he comes one day, you will know as soon as you ask." โ
Hearing this, Zhang Niangzi's face finally eased a little, and she bent her waist and tried to get up from the chair, Huai'an also breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went up to help.
Zhang Niangzi had already stood up, tilted her head in the direction of Huai'an, sniffed, seemed to be inadvertent, and asked, "Have you used Canaan incense in the garden recently?" โ
No matter which garden it is, in order to cater to elegant people, it has always been musk, how can it use Canaan, Huai'an didn't understand the meaning of Zhang Niangzi's question, so he replied, "No, it's still used..." Before he finished speaking, Huai An was a little relaxed, and suddenly came back urgently.
Although he was still holding Zhang Niangzi in his hand, Huai An put his nose together on his chest, remembering what incense had been used in that room, faint, but it should not be Canaan incense.
"With musk. How? Does the lady think it's better to use Canaan incense? Huai'an plans to fool this matter, seeing so many people every day, it is not uncommon to have some incense sticking to their bodies, and the most important thing is not to be confused.
Zhang Niangzi didn't expect Huai'an to say this, biting her lower lip, she didn't speak anymore, she walked to her room step by step with her stomach, and when she waited, she held her forehead and said to Huai'an, "You can sleep in the study tonight, it's always uncomfortable to sleep on this soft couch, and your eye circles are getting heavier and heavier." โ
didn't refuse, didn't reassure herself, Zhang Niangzi looked at Huai'an's departing back, covered her mouth, and didn't let herself make a whimpering sound, and when the back disappeared in the moonlight, Zhang Niangzi allowed herself to cry and walked to the bed.
After a burst of retching, Zhang Niangzi had stopped having morning sickness for a while, but at this time she couldn't help it, so she had to hold her belly and run to the corner of the room and vomit.
This scene happened to be seen by Linglong, who entered the door, and hurriedly came over to help her, and muttered again, "My young lady, alas, why did you start throwing up again." โ
Zhang Niangzi stretched out her hand, asked Linglong to hand over the towel, wiped her mouth, and said, "Go and add a quilt to the young master's study, don't freeze, it's going to catch a cold at this time, it's going to be fine." โ
Linglong was about to go out with the quilt, but was called back by Zhang Niangzi again, and said, "Take a new dirty dress to the study, replace the old one and throw it away, it's been worn for too long." โ
When Linglong came back, Mrs. Zhang was already lying on the bed resting, and it was a little difficult to turn over, so she reluctantly got up and asked, "Did the young master say something over there?" โ
"No, I've been falling there, I feel like I've fallen out of favor." Linglong was putting away the quilt on the soft couch, and changed it for herself, and suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile, "The young master also asked me if he had the scent of Garo on his body, and I felt strange. โ
Maybe it was innocently cold, Zhang Niangzi coughed, and was so frightened that Linglong hurried over to help her, stroked her back and said, "Don't worry about the young master, the young lady should take care of her body." โ
But this said, Mrs. Zhang was even more serious, and Linglong, who had always been intimate, had no idea, and said with some crying, "Young lady, you wait, I'll call the young master over." โ
"Don't go." Zhang Niangzi grabbed Linglong, leaned against the fence, and closed her eyes.
Early in the morning, when Huai'an left, Mrs. Zhang had not yet gotten up, and when she was waiting for the sun to rise, she reluctantly got up from the bed, came out for a walk, and had a morning meal, and it happened that Liang Tian came to visit.
Zhang Niangzi always felt that Liang Tian had changed a little since he was in bed at home for a month last time, he was more talkative and more mysterious than before, and then he returned to his hometown Tongcheng again, and this feeling became stronger and stronger.
In the Liang family, Mrs. Zhang had no other people to talk to, so she often brought some words to discuss with Liang Tian, and after getting a few feasible ideas, she was more willing to discuss with this person.
Seeing that people arrived in the courtyard, Mrs. Zhang stepped forward to continue, and asked people to make tea, bring some fruit bowls, and serve them well.
Liang Tian could stand it, and said to Mrs. Zhang with a smile, "Sister-in-law, is this something happening again?" "It's like a sister, and the concern comes naturally.
Mrs. Zhang sighed and said, "I can't hide it from you, it's not anything else, it's just that I have something I want to ask, and I'm afraid that if I say something that shouldn't be said, I will annoy you." โ
Liang Tian entered the room and sat down, untied his cloak, put it aside, took another sip of tea, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, it doesn't hurt to say anything, as long as I know, I must know everything." โ
Seeing that Liang Tian was so refreshing, Zhang Niangzi hesitated, this is really not easy to ask, accidentally uncovered someone's scar and offended the three girls, then the Liang family itself will have no one to say intimate words.
After squirming for a long time, Zhang Niangzi walked to Liang Tian's side with broken steps, and said with some flattery, "Third sister, if I say something that shouldn't be said in a while, you can forgive me this time, just treat it as an insignificant word, just don't hear it." โ
With such a twist, Liang Tian was more curious about what Mrs. Zhang was going to say, and the new daughter-in-law who had been staying in the house could still detect something.
Zhang Niangzi got closer to Liang Tian, leaned into her ear, and whispered, "Does the Liang family not allow men to take concubines?" โ
As soon as these words came out, Liang Tian probably guessed what Mrs. Zhang wanted to ask, so he replied, "It's not a written rule, as far as I know, it's because the old lady doesn't like it, don't you see that my father can only be raised outside." โ
Zhang Niangzi didn't think that Liang Tian would say it so simply, took a step back, and said a little apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to talk about the third uncle behind my back, it's just that I didn't understand many rules when I came." โ
"You might as well put your heart in your stomach, as long as the old lady is still there, people outside won't be able to make a name for themselves." Liang Tian comforted.
Zhang Niangzi didn't seem happy, lowered her head and said, "If I'm willing, there's no way?" Maybe I didn't think I would say such unproductive words, and I didn't dare to look at Liang Tian with my eyes.
"He gave you a look?" Liang Tian saw that something was wrong, and stepped forward again and said.
"No, it's just that I think if I give in and get this house back to what it used to be, then let her in, it's better to be just than sneaky." Zhang Niangzi still lowered her head, as if this embarrassing thing was done by herself.
