Liang Gong and An Lang talked about each other's family backgrounds, and they have some things in common, they are both poor children whose families fell early. As he spoke, he gradually walked side by head, and the distinction between up and down and inside and outside gradually disappeared between talking and laughing.

This is Lianggong's ability, no matter whether he is poor or noble, as long as he wants to make friends, his words and deeds can go to the hearts of people. In the early years, it was with this scheming that he and Yan Letou went around helping people collect accounts, either coercing and luring, or playing ruthlessly, watching people put down dishes, and there was never anything that could not be recovered.

Although An Lang has achieved fame in the examination, he has been working behind closed doors all these years, and he is not very proficient in social entertainment, but the kung fu of this tea and dinner has introduced Lianggong as his confidant in the old years.

The two of them talked about the sky and the sea, and gradually said that when they came back to the house, An Lang's smiling face lowered under the dense yin, and there was a bit of an unbearable weight, "In fact, you and I are almost the same regardless of family background and learning, but Piaoyin is degenerate, I am slightly better than your luck, and I have a relative of my uncle." When he helped me, I didn't know how to repay him. ”

Liang Gong lifted the fallen branches and leaves, and glanced at him, "I have been in the mansion for nearly a year, and I know a little bit about the master's personality." It is said that businessmen are very profitable, but he is an exception for the old man, and he is a righteous person. He is willing to promise the eldest girl to you, which shows his heart for you, as long as you can sing harmoniously with the eldest girl in the future and have a happy family, you will repay him. ”

"Naturally, nature is the ...... it should be"

An Lang muttered and raised his head, just in time to see a girl coming from the far shore of the green pond, with a basket box in her hand, wearing a silver-red gown and a green skirt. Although the appearance is not clear, the graceful appearance has long been embedded in the heart.

He stared ahead and cut his arm, "In your opinion, how are you big girls?" ”

Liang Gong was puzzled, but he was afraid that he would be a pedantic scholar and taboo that there was a man in front of Miaozhen, so he joked cautiously, "The appearance of the eldest girl, not to mention the distance, is who can reach Jiaxing Mansion?" Nature is rare. But I haven't seen a few girls, and when it comes to women, I really don't understand. It's really vain for you to ask me, it's better to ask the second aunt. ”

"What does he know?" An Lang smiled and sighed, "Those rich families of theirs, when it comes to marriage, they only know that they are right. It is said that making friends pays attention to "mountains and rivers", but they don't know that marrying a wife also needs to be compatible. Think about it, what's the fun of asking you to talk to a woman who doesn't match your heart for years? ”

Speaking of this section, the girl on the other side had approached, and it turned out to be Baichi. When she saw the two of them, her eyes dodged slightly, her face was full of peach blossoms, and she bowed to An Langfu, "Uncle An is good." ”

An Lang looked at her slightly. Liang Gong peeked from afar, and suddenly understood a little in his heart, and asked with a smile: "Uncle An has seen a lot, have you ever seen a young lady who is more beautiful than our eldest girl?" ”

"Huh?" An Lang smiled and said, "The appearance of my eldest sister is indeed difficult to find in the world. But God has always been fair, and if she is given the appearance of the world, she will inevitably take away one thing from her. ”

"I don't know what you're referring to?"

An Lang just smiled and shook his head. Liang Gong thought that he was talking about the root of her deep illness, although he was curious, it was not easy to inquire deeply.

I didn't want to be at peace but said, "If a woman just has a beautiful shell, what is the difference between it and the beauty painted on the painting?" ”

Liang Gong didn't say a word, just smiled at him.

It seems that men and men are not necessarily from the same country, they are as lustful as the big officials in the past, but they are just shocked, and they can give up a thousand handfuls of silver for an unlikely opportunity; There are also people like An Lang who love women more and have a heart.

As for himself, he has not yet been able to settle down, let alone build a sheltered home for women. He almost cut off his fantasies about women, and judged himself to be unqualified.

So he thought justly of Miaozhen's beautiful face, with two opal-like eyes embedded in it forever, rolling around nimblely, lit with rippling waves—

The fairies in the sky don't know the warmth and coldness of the world, even if there is an occasional sigh between the red lips, it is just a little sorrow born out of nothing.

"My girl, what are you sighing again?"

Miaozhen raised her face to look at Hua Xin standing outside the window, and couldn't answer, so she asked, "You say, why is my cousin so good with Lianggong?" ”

Hua Xinhe put the tea tray on the windowsill and tilted his head to ponder, "Uncle An is no better than a son-in-law like the second aunt, only six. At the age of seven, the family business was difficult, and he was also the master who suffered a lot. Lianggong is also from a poor family. Both of them have read books, so they naturally have something to say. What's the matter, the girls are not happy that they want to be good? ”

"They shouldn't be good." Miao Zhen hung one arm outside the window, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration and understood that something was wrong - the two of them should not be good, they should be beaten to the point of bleeding, as often said in the story, she should be a dispute between men.

They couldn't fight, could it be that she wasn't beautiful enough?

She hurriedly walked to the mirror and bent down to take a photo, complaining and walking back to the couch, "When my cousin came, I just got up from the bed, and you see that the hair is also unkempt......"

As he was talking, he saw Bai Chi approaching the courtyard gate with medicine, but he was a flawless jasper and a fair lady. She didn't know what she was thinking, her eyes were smiling, her face was flushed, and she was so cold that she was ashamed of herself.

She shouted through the window: "Bai Chi, is the medicine decoction back?" ”

Bai Chi came around the corridor from the entrance of the east wing, "It's fried, you didn't take a nap?" ”

"I can't sleep, my cousin just came to talk."

Bai Chi was about to blurt out An Lang's words, but remembering her mother's words, he glanced at Dongxiang, lowered his voice, and laughed indifferently, "Oh, it's rare for Uncle An to come to us for a visit." I went in, and my mother must have woken up. ”

As soon as he turned around, he heard Hua Xin sneer, "You came from the garden, didn't you meet Uncle An?" ”

Bai Chi stiffened and turned his head with a smile, "I bumped into it, I didn't say hello from afar, Uncle An tomorrow, don't blame me for being rude." ”

Miaozhen saw that the two of them were about to fight again, so she dragged Hua Xin and turned her head consciously, "He is with Lianggong, and you also bumped into Lianggong?" ”

"I bumped into each other, the two of them were talking and laughing, and it was even more difficult for me to come forward and disturb them."

When Miao Zhen heard that the two of them had become friends, she was even more frightened, and sat on the couch with her buttocks, only staring at the courtyard door, with a resentment for no reason.

Compared with the sun shadow facing west, she heard a "squeak" outside, waking up Miaozhen, who was waiting for drowsy, she hurriedly sat up from the couch, and sure enough, she saw the few Xiangfei bamboos at the gate of the courtyard shaking.

She hurriedly ran to the bottom of the corridor and shouted "Liang Gong", seeing Liang Gong walking from the bamboo to the courtyard gate, she had nothing to say, and looked at him through the empty yard, "Have you ordered the car outside?" I'm going out with my wife and aunt. ”

Liang Gong stood in the opposite corridor and nodded, "When I just came back, I ordered a sedan chair to be prepared." ”

I don't know where she didn't deal with it, and suddenly jumped up, "Who told you wanted a sedan chair?" You are not troublesome, go to Zhou's house today, Zhou's house is far away, so naturally you will go to the car! ”

Lianggong didn't know where Zhou's home was this week, but she knew that she had always been afraid of the bumpy carriage when she went out, and she had always only taken a sedan chair when she got closer, so she only ordered a soft sedan chair, not wanting to offend her again.

He was instinctively impatient, but in an instant he remembered An Lang's words that she was a beautiful "empty shell", and defended her in his heart. Where is she empty? Those eyes and face were clearly full of unknown emotions, like resentment but not resentment, like anger and not resentment, which made people laugh.

The empty courtyard in the middle was not really empty, the invisible wind swirled, dotted with green moss marks, and the sunlight was also full, softening a cold hard heart.

He raised his lazy voice and reluctantly turned to go out, "Okay, my eldest lady, I'll go and tell them to change carriages and horses." ”

Miao Zhen also turned his head into the house, and only stepped into the threshold with one foot and smiled. I don't know what I'm happy about, in short, today is unsatisfactory, but his reluctant compromise is satisfactory.

That Zhou's family was a distant relative who didn't have much contact, and because they lived in Jiashan County, they didn't move around much. It was Mrs. Hu who went to Jiaxing and intended to publicize her daughter's marriage with the Huang family in Suzhou, so she deliberately dragged Mrs. Zeng to visit.

I have visited my old relatives and friends in these days, and all those who have been related to my relatives have gone all over. Mrs. Zeng accompanies her with smiling faces every day, but she is actually impatient. didn't dare to show it, so he had to pull his two daughters with him.

Bai Chi wanted to serve Mother Lin's decoction, and he was not allowed to wait for Miao Zhen to go out, so he stayed to watch the house, so he had to go out with a girl.

Speaking on the ground, Miao Zhen stepped on the horse stool, smiling and slanting at Lianggong, as if holding back something bad. In fact, if it's bad, it's not bad, but I just want to toss him in private, I'm afraid that the girls will have more gossip and gossip, and I can't tell the reason, so I opened those extra mouths and only asked Huaxin to follow. Hua Xin is not afraid, this girl is devoted to her, so confused.

Before he walked to Jiashan for a while, Miaozhen lifted the curtain, "You can't drive at all, and your bones are going to be scattered!" ”

Even if she had to find fault and scold people, she couldn't hold back when she was only half an hour younger. He pulled the reins and glanced back at her, "You can't blame me, this road is potholed, don't believe you see for yourself." ”

Miao Zhen bent down to look down, he took advantage of this gap, deliberately framed the car through a pothole, and slammed it, almost turning Miao Zhen upside down. He held on again, "Look, I said it's not easy to walk." Sit down. ”

Miaozhen pushed him back into the curtain with his backhand and sat in front of the flower letter for a while. Hua Xin was stunned and said, "He has a point. ”

Miao Zhen glanced at her, and slammed the curtain again, "You deliberately turned me upside down!" ”

Still glancing at her, he turned his face back and laughed silently, "Little ones don't dare." ”

"Don't dare, you're clearly laughing!" Miao Zhen stretched her neck to his shoulder, and looked at him with a crooked face, he had a straight face, and she smashed her fist on his shoulder, "You dare to mess with me!" ”

Instead, her hand was shaken painfully, but Liang Gong didn't feel the pain, squinted his eyes and smiled, "Even if you are small, you don't dare to grow a leopard." ”

Miao Zhen glared at his shoulder, looking for clues in his face. But he had a thousand sails outside his side face, but he had the same smile, and she only found his dull and unwavering eyes in the changing sea.
