Chapter 45: Voices Beyond the Strings
Qiu Xi was startled and hurriedly looked over, "If the lady doesn't think the slave is stupid, she will continue to follow the lady." ”
Liang Wan turned her face sideways, facing the clear eyes of the autumn sunset.
Needless to say, Qiuxi's loyalty, but the more so, the more you have to plan. The palace is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, so there is no need to bring her with you.
Seeing Liang Wan smiling suddenly, Qiu Xi became nervous, put down the books in her hand and walked over, "Why did the lady say this in a dignified manner?" ”
Liang Wan looked at her nervously, and only said, "If I get married one day, I have to find you a good family first!" ”
Qiu Xi squatted down with apricot eyes, leaned on the edge of the bed and asked in a low voice, "Is the lady really with that Zhou Taibao?" ”
Liang Wan lay on the bed without any image, shaking her head with a smile.
In this life, she will not get married!
Qiu Xi was confused by her laughter, and just stared blankly, the three ladies are really different, in the past, they were gentle and smart, elegant and delicate, but now, wanton, moody and casual, it is not bad, and even more beautiful, but there is a lack of purity-
"What do you think?"
Qiu Xi came back to his senses, shook his head silently, and suddenly remembered one thing, and stopped talking.
Liang Wan sat up and sent the little maidservant away, and then said, "Say whatever you want." ”
"Lady, Wang Su's matter has passed, and it is not easy to turn the crisis into safety, why don't you take advantage of this stall to choose a family affair and leave here as soon as possible, lest they have other ideas one day!"
"You know they're going to have other ideas, too?" Liang Wan's red lips were lightly raised, and a smile overflowed the corners of her eyes.
Qiu Xi couldn't laugh at it, "The fourth lady has a bad reputation, the marriage is ruined, and the head of the family has lost a backer, you don't want to think about how much they hold grudges in their hearts, the eldest lady is now chanting behind closed doors, if you don't plan for yourself, who can you count on?" The slave was still wondering if the eldest lady would-"
Sister?
Liang Wan lowered her eyes and just wanted to laugh, she used to be as stupid as Qiu Xi.
Qiu Xi continued, "The head of the family can tolerate the lady is really desperate now, so he temporarily pins his hope on you, but once the lady can't benefit him, what will he do to you?" Just in case, the lady should plan early! ”
Liang Wan looked at Qiuxi, how could she not know that Liang Cheng hated her to the bone?
But, things have to be done one by one!
Liang Wan returned home for a few days, but she was not peaceful, Liang Jiao would come over from time to time to make a fuss, occasionally in a hurry, and would cry and scold a few words.
Liang Wan knew that she had nowhere to vent her anger in her heart. Although Liang Cheng did not hesitate to admonish a few words, Liang Jiao still went his own way, and Zhang's heart was resentful, and he turned a blind eye.
After breakfast, Liang Wan lay down on the desk and wrote.
According to Qiuxi, Cui Hao came here in the past few days when she disappeared, but was driven away by Liang Cheng.
"Lady, come and see."
Liang Zhang's marriage was approaching, and Qiuxi picked a few items from the small treasury as congratulatory gifts according to Liang Wan's request.
Liang Wan responded.
As soon as the words fell, I heard a burst of smashing outside, and before the pen in Liang Wan's hand was put down, a little maid hurriedly ran in.
Qiu Xi looked out the window, "It's the fourth lady again?" ”
The little maid glanced at Liang Wan and nodded, "The fourth lady said that the smell of lilacs in the lady's yard is too strong, and she can't sleep well at night." ”
Liang Wan lowered her eyes and smiled, silent.
"The former said that the camphor tree in the yard was too high to block her light, and it was only cleaned up yesterday, and now the flowers are too fragrant, these days, tossing back and forth, when is it a head-" The little maid was aggrieved.
Liang Wan got up, "Okay, she didn't tell you to dig or guard in front of you, you just went back to the house to rest." ”
Qiuxi sent the maidservant away, but when she turned around, she saw Liang Wan sitting in front of the piano case, playing and singing at the same time, covering up the noise in the courtyard.
But he stopped halfway through the song.
"Why didn't the lady play?"
Qiu Xi was listening attentively, and suddenly broke off and was still unfinished.
Liang Wan shook her head, "It's not a good song, so naturally I don't want to play it." ”
Qiu Xi was puzzled, "This song is lingering and compassionate, and the words, phoenix, phoenix, why is it not good?" ”
Liang Wan's gaze swept lightly over the window and stopped on Qiu Xi's face, "Do you know what story this song tells?" ”
Qiu Xi shook her head.
Liang Wan said, "This is about a Xiaolang who likes the lady of a big family, so he played this song to express his heart, and the two have the same affection, but they are opposed by their family and cannot become a family."
But later, the lady ran with Xiaolang at night, selling wine for a living, and after marriage, the two had a difficult life, but their relationship gradually deepened. ”
Qiu Xi frowned, "The lady in this story behaved inappropriately, and the ending was still good!" ”
Liang Wan smiled, "Yes, if she is afraid of her family's obstruction, she doesn't run at night, but she doesn't have this marriage, and this courage is also admirable." In this way, I'll play you the first "Meng Jiangnu", right? ”
"I know this story, it's a thousand miles to find a husband, poor Meng Jiangnu has traveled thousands of miles to find it, but Lang Jun has died under the Great Wall," Qiu Xi shook her head, "The slave still likes the one that ended well just now." ”
Liang Wan sighed, "Do you think that conscription is easy to serve?" Working day and night, being beaten and scolded by guards, not having enough food and clothing, not to mention a sickness, even a good person can't stand it for a few days-"
After she finished speaking, she shook her head, "In a few days, it should be a good day for my brother to marry the lady of the imperial family, I don't play this piano first, let's hurry up and prepare the bride's congratulatory gift." ”
Speaking of this, Qiu Xi pointed to the items on the table and said, "This is all from the past." ”
Liang Wan stepped forward and picked up a pair of white jade bracelets and looked at them, feeling warm and greasy.
"Hmph, didn't my sister disdain socializing in the past? Why is it so delicate now? ”
A sneer suddenly sounded, and the shadow that had been standing outside the window for a long time finally stepped in.
Liang Jiao didn't care, but when her eyes touched the large and small boxes on the table, she was still taken aback, she didn't expect Liang Wan to have so many treasures and jewelry.
Liang Wan put down the bracelet casually and sat down nearby, "These dead things can please the living, but they are also their creation, besides, maybe I will leave the house one day, and it is too cumbersome to carry too much." ”
She smiled lightly on her lips, "In this worldly sleekness, how can I compare to you?" I'm a clumsy talker, and I really need to learn from you how to please the people around me in just a few words. When you get married in the future, you will always have to get along with your aunt! ”
When it comes to getting married, Liang Jiao thinks of Wang Tingyue, and hatred overflows in her heart, although Wang Tingyue is not liked by Wang Su and has a low official position, but in the end, he is the Xiaolang of Sikong Mansion, plus the help of Liang Mansion in the future, he is not afraid that his career will not improve.
But right now, not only is Wang Tingyue in the army and hopeless in marriage, but he has also lost his life for no reason! On the other hand, she Liang Wan, who climbed to Lu Xiu before, and now she is mixed with Zhou Yun again, the more Liang Jiao thinks about it, the more angry she becomes.
"What do you have to be proud of, with your current reputation, no matter who you go to, you are just a concubine!"
Liang Wan slowly poured herself a cup of tea and raised her eyes to look at her, "You're right, but unfortunately no one wants you to be a concubine now." ”
"You-" Liang Jiao was about to have a seizure in a hurry, and a little maid ran in coldly.
"Three ladies - someone is in the palace, the head of the house asked you to go to the front hall!"
