Chapter 321: Ah!! Spring! [Thank you all for your support! Bowing again!]

~15 min read 2,997 words

"Father? Mother? What's wrong with this?"

Liang Dalang, Liang Jing, hurriedly cupped his hands, looked at Marquis Liang suspiciously, and then glanced at Wu Daniangzi.

Marquis Liang suppressed his anger and squeezed out a smile at Liang Jing, saying:

"Jing'er, nothing! You've only been home for two days since returning from Old Gan's command, how are you resting?"

"Thank you for your concern, father. Back home, I sleep very peacefully."

Marquis Liang nodded.

Wu Daniangzi on the side didn't speak. Who told her that the sons she gave birth to didn't have any success in their studies?

Originally, she still had hopes for Liang Han, but he ended up giving her such a pile of things!

Thinking of this, Wu Daniangzi's hand holding the posts clenched even tighter.

Marquis Liang glanced at Wu Daniangzi's expression, waved his hand, and said: "Go, rest well."

Liang Dalang looked at Marquis Liang and said:

"Father, you have always been on good terms with Marquis Gu. Can you visit the Gu family? The son wants to be transferred to serve under Xu Hou."

Marquis Liang glanced at his wife again and said: "About this, let father think about it."

"Thank you, mother, father."

"The son withdraws."

Liang Dalang lifted the cotton curtain and left the hall.

The hall was quiet for a while,

Marquis Liang broke the silence: "Madam, look at this..."

Wu Daniangzi pulled the deformed posts from Marquis Liang's hand, crumpled them into a ball, took a deep breath to control her emotions, and said:

"Dalang and Gu family's Yu Ge'er were of the same year, and they have feelings!"

"Before, when Xu Hou was in the Tianwu Army, did I not tell Dalang to let him go, or did Yu Ge'er not tell him?"

"The Xu family left a position for him, and the descendants of my Sun family sister's maiden family were pushed back, but what was the result?"

"Now that he sees that it's not easy to work under the Gan family, he understands? What was he doing earlier!"

Marquis Liang nodded awkwardly.

Wu Daniangzi stood up, took the posts from under Marquis Liang's hand, and said: "I'm going to settle the score with Liang Liu Lang."

As she spoke, she left the hall, and the personal Mama hurriedly followed.

After Wu Daniangzi left the courtyard, she stopped and said: "Send someone to the gatehouse to ask if the guild leader for renting ox and horse carts has come to visit."

The personal Mama hurriedly pointed to a little maid.

Arriving near the courtyard where Liang Han was, the young servant Diaoche saw Wu Daniangzi's figure, bowed, cupped his hands, and said loudly:

"Greetings, Da Niangzi! Da Niangzi, Happy Spring!"

Wu Daniangzi couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him, while the Da Niangzi's personal Mama gave him a look of annoyance. Diaoche was the Mama's own nephew.

But hearing the words "Happy Spring",

This Mama let out a "hiss".

"Da Niangzi!"

Hearing the Mama's soft cry, Wu Daniangzi stopped and looked over with a frown.

"Just now, this kid's greeting reminded this servant."

"Before, Jing Ge'er's wife took Wan Chunge to participate in the poetry gathering of civil official families, and I heard from the little maid who followed..."

Looking at Wu Daniangzi, whose brows were furrowed even tighter, the Mama said:

"Because Wan Chunge is good-looking, she was humiliated by the Yu family's Yanran young lady."

Wu Daniangzi rubbed her eyebrows and cursed: "This little fox spirit!"

After speaking, she continued to enter Liang Han's study with a straight face.

"Moonlight, lantern mountains fill the Imperial Capital..."

Seeing Wu Daniangzi enter, Liang Han put away the poetry collection in his hand, stood up, and bowed: "Mother, you are here!"

Wu Daniangzi looked around the study, walked to the base of the wooden frame holding the high sword, and pulled out a miscellaneous book from underneath with one hand.

She straightened several pieces of somewhat crooked beautiful jade on the desk,

Finally, she scanned Liang Han, who was lowering his head, from top to bottom, ignored him, and sat directly in the position Liang Han had been sitting in.

Before long, the little maid who went to the gatehouse came to report: "Da Niangzi, a guild leader did come to visit our family."

Wu Daniangzi picked up the posts and said: "Tell me, what's going on!"

Liang Han looked at the posts on the table and swallowed: "Mother, this is..."

Wu Daniangzi picked up the posts and said: "Feiyun Terrace, Qiyun Tower, tsk tsk tsk, and Yunchao Pavilion!"

"You've become amazing, Liang Han, furious for a beauty! Kneel down!!"

Liang Han knelt on the ground with practiced movements. Fortunately, there was a floor heating system, so it wasn't cold.

"Is this how you study? Do you think this is any good reputation?"

Liang Han lowered his head, with a look of pride in his eyes, but still said:

"Mother, I... I... Bianjing knows that this business of renting ox and horse carts has a relationship with our family."

"How can we not give the Yu family some color to see after they humiliated us like this?"

Wu Daniangzi laughed out of anger and said: "Good! But how did I hear that before, the Yu family's second young lady had some friction with Wan Chunge from your sister-in-law's maiden family?"

Liang Han asked suspiciously: "Did she?"

Wu Daniangzi slapped the table: "Still pretending in front of your old mother?"

Liang Han: "Mother, I..."

As he spoke, Liang Han glanced at Wu Daniangzi's personal Mama.

Wu Daniangzi: "When I was younger than you, Jin Hammer was already following me. What are you winking at!?"

Hearing the words "Jin Hammer", the Mama raised her chin with great satisfaction.

Liang Han sighed and said:

"Mother! When that Tian Xinglao came, Diaoche asked him carefully!"

"The first one to take action was little brother Qingyun! That's why the son took action."

Wu Daniangzi was stunned and said: "Hiss? Jing Ge'er's little servant?"

Liang Han nodded and said:

"Mother, you know that the son took the Fifth Young Master to Ruan before, and you even hit me!"

"Fang Niang, who was in the ox cart at that time, was there, and she was the one accompanying the Fifth Young Master."

"After the son learned of this, he taught the Yu family a lesson."

"If Jing Ge'er knows about this, won't he treat me as a very good brother?"

"After all, Big Brother's errand hasn't been settled yet... If I have a good relationship with Jing Ge'er, it'll be easier to talk, won't it!"

The "Big Brother" in Liang Han's words was not the eldest illegitimate son Liang Jing, but the heir to the Yongchang Hou, Liang Xu, who was the eldest legitimate son in terms of clan etiquette.

Hearing this, Wu Daniangzi's expression softened a lot, and she said:

"Is it really for your big brother?"

Seeing Liang Han nod, Wu Daniangzi said:

"Don't kneel anymore, get up first."

Afterwards, she had a look of contemplation in her eyes:

"Could it be that Jing Ge'er just couldn't stand the style of the Yu family's servants?"

Liang Han said hesitantly:

"Ah? Is that so? Then didn't I do it for nothing?"

Wu Daniangzi continued:

"In the future, think less about these twists and turns. Studying well is the right path!"

"Look at the sons of the Gu family, and the Xu family, the Qi family, and then look at you!"

Wu Daniangzi pointed hatefully at Liang Han's head as she spoke.

"The son will keep mother's teachings in mind."

"I will definitely ask Big Brother Yu and Jing Ge'er for advice."

"That's more like it! Don't worry, I'll talk to your father about it."

"Thank you, mother!"

In Liang Han's pained eyes, Mama Jin Hammer took away the posts on the table and followed Wu Daniangzi, who had calmed down, out of the study.

After sending his mother out of the courtyard and watching her disappear into the corridor,

Liang Han exhaled. Fortunately, his brain turned fast, otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have escaped a family punishment.

Turning around to return to the courtyard, he caught sight of a little maid poking her head out from the side door on the other side.

Liang Han straightened his expression and beckoned to the little maid.

Diaoche on the side was about to speak, but was glared back by Liang Han.

The little maid walked to Liang Han and bowed: "Six Young Master, Happy Spring."

Liang Han's attitude was amiable: "Why did you come over?"

"The young lady knows that you blocked the second son of the Yu family, and said that she was born humble and had nothing to offer, so she embroidered this forehead band for you overnight."

After the maid finished speaking, she was about to hand the thing wrapped in silk to Diaoche.

Diaoche looked at the thing held out in front of him and didn't reach out.

The little maid held it up and was stunned there.

This pause also allowed Diaoche to see clearly the several red dots on the little maid's fingertips, which seemed to be pricked by embroidery needles?

Liang Han smiled and said: "Take it!"

Diaoche then reached out to take it and glanced at the little maid.

"Then, this servant will withdraw."

As she spoke, the little maid walked away quickly.

Liang Han smiled, snatched the thing from Diaoche's hand, and walked into the courtyard while laughing and looking at it, his mind flashing with that fleeting glimpse of Wan Chunge when they first met.

Wan Chunge's looks could rank in the top five or six in Liang Han's heart, roughly comparable to the masked Yun Niang and Fang Niang.

There was no comparison further ahead, because not to mention anything else, the temperament cultivated by those who were raised with gold and jade was incomparable to others.

Every year on the first day of the New Year when entering the palace, although that Feiyan young lady hadn't fully grown up yet, she was ranked first in the hearts of the noble youths of Bianjing.

But later, the Chai family young lady came to the capital, and she was slightly older.

As for who was first, there was some debate.

Returning to the room, Liang Han was about to tie the forehead band to his forehead when the sound of Diaoche came from outside the door: "Mama Jin, you're here again. Ouch!"

Perhaps she got a flick on the head.

Liang Han hurriedly hid the forehead band.

Mama Jin entered the study, bowed, and said: "Han Ge'er, Da Niangzi said that we will go out of the city to explore spring in a few days, and asked you to choose the color and material for the clothes."

"Oh, oh! Okay!"

Mama Jin left.

Liang Han looked at the forehead band in his hand, thought of Wan Chunge's appearance, and smiled slightly at the corners of his mouth, as if he had some plans.

After the Lantern Festival, it was sunny for many days, and the weather was getting warmer.

Jiying Lane,

Sheng family.

Behind the table in the academy,

Master Zhuang, who had been attending classes for ten consecutive days, put down his crossed legs, put away his folding fan with a snap, tapped the table, and said:

"Tomorrow I have something to do, so we will take a day off as usual! Dismissed!"

Xu Zaijing and the others hurriedly stood up to bow and bid farewell.

Master Zhuang hummed a few times and went out of the academy leisurely.

The maids and young servants began to hand over water and tidy up.

Changfeng took a tea cup from the maid Ke'er and took a sip, saying:

"Ye Ge'er, Jing Ge'er, tomorrow is a day off, shall we go to Yujin Garden outside the South Gate to explore spring?"

Qi Heng stood up and handed the book in his hand to Buwei, saying:

"Feng Ge'er, you're late. We've already decided yesterday that we'll go to the Yangzhong Garden near the Jinshui River outside the city to explore spring on our day off!"

Changfeng looked at Xu Zaijing and the others, and saw that they were all nodding in approval. He sighed helplessly:

"That's too far, father definitely won't let us go."

Everyone went home after school.

Xingguo Lane,

Qi Heng and Gu Tingye returned home.

On the way, Qi Heng was sitting in the carriage when it suddenly stopped. Buwei, who was beside Qi Heng, lifted the carriage curtain to look outside and said:

"Young Master, it's the sons of the fourth and fifth branches of the Gu family talking to the second young master of the Gu family."

Qi Heng nodded, politely leaned to the window,

Saw the sons of the fourth and fifth branches of the Gu family riding over, nodded, and asked: "Where are you all going?"

Gu Tingyang and Gu Tingbing looked at each other, smiled, and cupped their hands: "Going to Pan Lou for fun, would Heng Ge'er like to join us?"

Qi Heng: "Thank you all for your kindness. There is still homework, so I won't accompany you."

The two groups missed each other.

The sky gradually darkened,

Qiyun Tower next to Pan Lou.

Rong Xian walked back with a wine glass and said:

"Beside... beside, the Jing Ge'er of the Chai family! And my neighbor, are... are drinking with their family's manager!"

"Xian Ge'er has wide social connections!"

"The Chai family, they have money!"

Rong Xian nodded and said: "That's..."

Rong Xian, who was somewhat drunk, didn't know what he was thinking of,

Looked at the female musician in his arms somewhat hesitantly, kissed the female musician hard, and said with determination: "Last time!"

After speaking, his hand slid into the female musician's clothes,

And was patted by the female musician coquettishly. Rong Xian and his fox friends on the side laughed.

At this time, Gu Tingbing and Gu Tingyang, holding wine glasses, walked over.

"Xian Ge'er, long time no see, a toast to you!"

"Tomorrow our family, the Qi family, and the Xu family's sons are going to Yangzhong Garden west of the city to explore spring, would you like to join us?"

Rong Xian looked at them constantly peeking at the female musician in his arms, and raised his wine glass without speaking, feeling somewhat unhappy.

Gu Tingbing looked at Rong Xian's appearance and said with a smile:

"Xian Ge'er, please! What's the name of the little quail in your arms?"

"She looks really good!"

Rong Xian sneered and spilled the wine in his glass on the ground.

Gu Tingyang: "Rong Xian, you! What do you mean?"

Rong Xian: "That's what I mean!"

Gu Tingbing widened his eyes, and the wine glass in his hand was thrown at Rong Xian.

"You bird-brained broken household, you don't know how to appreciate kindness, you city..."

The female musicians very skillfully hid outside the door.

Clatter, bang, bang.

A fight broke out in the private room.

"My family has been a military noble for generations, assisting in the founding of the country, and you, a mud-tiler, are jumping with me?"

Clatter, clatter, clatter.

In the next private room, Chai Jin, who heard the movement, brought people over,

Shouting "Xian Ge'er, you're drunk!", "Stop fighting! You'll have to pay!", and only then pulled the two groups apart.

Both groups were still cursing.

Chai Jin casually threw down a silver note as compensation for the building, and then let the Rong family's servants take Rong Xian away.

Downstairs,

The Rong family's servants had just helped Rong Xian into the carriage,

Chai Jin was also preparing to leave.

Suddenly, a sound of vomiting came from the Rong family carriage. Rong Xian had vomited all over the carriage.

Looking at their young master who had dry-heaved a few times, the Rong family servants hurriedly went to find a rental carriage.

Chai Jin shook his head and said: "Let your young master vomit clean, sit in my carriage!"

Chai family,

Chai Zhengzheng looked at the cloak supported by Miss Yun Mu and nodded with satisfaction.

She waved her hand and said: "Fuyi, put it away!"

A young maid on the side walked over.

Miss Yun Mu looked at Fuyi, who walked to the side, came to Chai Zhengzheng's side, and said: "Young lady, haven't you decided where to explore spring tomorrow?"

Chai Zhengzheng pouted and said: "I don't know, if I don't know, I won't go out!"

"It would be great if Sister Anmei wasn't engaged, I could just send her a post directly!"

Miss Yun Mu nodded.

At this time, a maid in the courtyard came to the door and said:

"Young lady, the young master said he is going to Yangzhong Garden to explore spring tomorrow."

Chai Zhengzheng sat back on the bed somewhat angrily and patted the quilt:

"So far! Brother is just wandering around blindly!"

"Hmph!"

The next day,

Early morning,

Huixue Courtyard,

Ningxiang walked hurriedly into Rong Feiyan's bedroom and said softly:

"Young lady? Young lady?"

"Hmm? Is it time?"

"It's drizzling outside, maybe we can't go today!"

Rong Feiyan in the quilt sat up at once, lifted the quilt, dragged her slippers, and came to the window.

"Young lady! Put on some clothes!"

The window was opened. Rong Feiyan looked at the wet courtyard outside and sighed heavily with disappointment.

"I hope brother was talking nonsense when he was drunk!"

"He might not go out today!"

Ningxiang hurriedly closed the window and looked at Rong Feiyan angrily: "Young lady, put on some clothes! What if you catch a cold!"

At this time, Rong Xian's voice came from outside the courtyard:

"Sister, get ready quickly!"

"It's raining in the morning, it will be sunny all day!"

In the room, someone's eyes lit up. She jumped back onto the bed happily, drilled into the quilt,

"Hiss, hiss, it's still warm in the quilt!"
