There is a clear water channel outside the palace wall. Qin Liang drove out of Dongye Gate and opened the corner of the car curtain, and the white scales of the water surface came into view. At this time, the sun was slightly to the southwest, and the sunlight could not reach him. eyes, but the water surface of the canal formed undulating waves in the wind, which reflected the dazzling white light.
Sometimes he would be inexplicably attracted to some details of life. At this time, he observed the water in the canal for a while, until the carriage drove away and the water surface disappeared from sight. The dynamic arc-shaped scenery seemed to have an elegant and beautiful posture of its own.
The sound of the wooden wheels turning, mixed with various noises, enveloped the carriage. As long as the road surface was a little uneven, the carriage would make noises everywhere. It was another boring waiting time, as boring as the sounds in the ears. Qin Liang I thought of Empress Pan again. She was indeed famous, but if she was just a graceful figure with a graceful waist, Qin Liang probably wouldn't have had any inappropriate thoughts that day.
The large group of people arrived near Yong'anli and headed back towards the General's Mansion. But Qin Liang's carriage continued to go south and soon arrived outside the inner wall of Yongheli.
Not long after entering Yongheli, the carriage stopped outside an ordinary mansion. Wu Xin knocked on the door and said a few words, and Qin Liang rode the carriage into the yard.
This is where Mrs. Bai lives, and it is also the villa of Yang Huiyu's family.
Qin Liang came here. Although it was not convenient, the distance was very close.
Yang Hu is still in mourning, and I heard that he has been closing the door to thank guests; but if Qin Liang comes to visit, he should be received, but Qin Liang has never been an uninterested person. When he met Yang Huiyu in the Yangjia Villa, he There's probably nothing wrong with that. There is.
He hadn't seen Yang Huiyu for a long time, and Qin Liang wanted to find a chance to meet him.
The reason was that there was a ready-made gift. Yang Huiyu kindly presented game meat in the morning. Qin Liang didn't see her, so he passed by and wanted to say thank you.
At this time, Mrs. Bai had come out of the house to greet her. The person who opened the door just now was a maid. Compared with last time, there were more people in the yard. But it was just right. Just ask the maid to invite Yang Huiyu later.
"General, it's really brilliant that the Commander-in-Chief has the time to come to this humble residence." Mrs. Bai said politely.
It was originally a very polite phrase, but when it came out of her little mouth, something felt wrong.
Qin Liang glanced at the charming and fair-skinned Mr. Bai, and couldn't help but think of the vixen Mrs. Bai had scolded. He met the Queen Mother Guo at the door of Shangshu Province, but because he couldn't make any noise, he couldn't enjoy it to the fullest. At this time, he saw the charming Mrs. He didn't pay attention to the beautiful woman's state of mind, and suddenly had some evil thoughts. Qin Liang avoided his eyes and returned the courtesy: "Nice to meet you, Madam."
After a few words of greeting, Mrs. Bai still invited Qin Liang to the hall on the north platform, which was exactly the place where she stayed last time. She probably had no choice. If she still wanted to maintain the surface etiquette, in this mansion, she could only This place is suitable for receiving a general.
Qin Liang knelt down at the banquet and asked first: "The venison and pheasants that Mrs. Sheep sent to your Majesty were obtained by the Bai family?"
Mrs. Bai's expression was a little complicated, and she glanced at Qin Liang: "The person who sent the prey is my cousin, but since I have given it to Mrs. Sheep, it is her business to whom she wants to give it to."
Qin Liang nodded slightly and deliberately ignored Yang Huiyu, "It should be what Uncle Yang meant. Uncle
He is indeed a noble person. But I appreciate that he didn't give it away to anyone else." Because Yang Huiyu was born in a noble family, he was more concerned about being anonymous.
Mrs. Bai really had no doubts, but there was a hint of self-mockery in her beautiful eyes: "The general sent so many silk cloths last time. If I give you a gift in return, I won't be able to get rid of any game."
Qin Liang said casually: "It's just a chat, Madam, don't worry about it."
Mrs. Bai said again in a tone that was difficult to distinguish between yin and yang: "I know it's a reward. In the eyes of a person with such a noble status as the general, isn't that the kind of person I am?"
Qin Liang frowned and looked at Mrs. Bai. His inexplicable emotions were suddenly aroused by her again! It was not anger, but mixed emotions.
Last time Mrs. Bai asked whether his health was failing, Qin Liang was annoyed, but it was probably just a stress reaction, and he was not actually very angry in his heart.
Things that can make him angry are mostly when his self-esteem is trampled on by others, when his strength is looked down upon, etc. For example, Mrs. Bai used to go to Lejin to ask Qin Liang to stay away from Wang Xuanji.
Probably because of Qin Liang's background and experiences in his previous life, he has been under pressure to survive for a long time, so he has a relatively large need for such things to gain a foothold in the world, so he cares about it. Whether attacking him will work, he
I don't seem to care much about it.
Therefore, Mrs. Bai said that he couldn't do it last time, and he didn't hold a grudge after that. Later, he sent a box of silk cloth as a relief.
But Mrs. Bai just said it was a reward. Qin Liang suddenly realized that it seemed to make sense?
Mrs. Bai should have emphasized that Wang Ling had never touched her, but Qin Liang didn't care at all. The key point was that Mrs. Bai lost her son, which was somewhat different from Qin Liang's.
relation.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Mrs. Bai looked at Qin Liang with some confusion, and muttered: "The general has a high and powerful position, deposed the emperor, conquered the south and the north, and was powerful throughout the country. It seems that he does not dare to do anything, but he seems to be afraid of everything.
Being cautious and fearful, what is the general afraid of?"
Qin Liang didn't like to expose his state of mind in front of others, especially to people who were not close to him. He suddenly felt unhappy and even felt annoyed again!
Mrs. Bai's mentality didn't seem to be very good, and she suddenly said: "Maybe the general just dislikes me and looks down on me! But I also want to thank the general. You just dislike me in your heart, but you didn't hurt anyone with your words. Otherwise, I said you deliberately seduced me.
The general's words have been spread out. Even if the general does something to me, no one will believe me if I say it. What is the general afraid of?"
He could still speak politely just now, but soon he became like this again. Qin Liang said: "What do you mean? I'm afraid you will tell anyone?"
She was resisting desperately last time, but it wasn't like she was giving in half-heartedly.
Qin Liang looked calmly into Mrs. Bai's eyes. She thought for a while and probably remembered what happened at that time. Sure enough, she first moved her eyes away and looked elsewhere.
Qin Liang took a deep breath and suppressed the chaotic emotions in his heart, thinking that several years had passed since the Sima family incident. Mrs. Bai was first kidnapped by Wang Ling and then driven out by the Wang family. She was no longer considered a trophy.
Thinking of this, he calmed down and said: "There are always ups and downs in life. I had good intentions and just wanted to help my wife. However, I did not do it thoughtfully and failed to take into account my wife's feelings."
"Jun..." Mrs. Bai looked at Qin Liang again, but hesitated to speak.
Confused.
Qin Liang was silent for a while and said: "I would like to ask Mrs. Sheep to send a few words to my uncle to convey my gratitude. Madam, can you send someone to ask for Mrs. Sheep?"
...The maid in the other courtyard used to be someone close to Yang Huiyu. Therefore, the maid easily met Yang Huiyu and said that the general had arrived in the other courtyard and wanted to see his wife.
Yang Huiyu was very surprised, and hurriedly packed up for a while, then hurriedly left the mansion and went to a nearby courtyard.
Walking into the door, he first met Mrs. Bai. After greeting him for a few words, Yang Huiyu asked carefully: "Why did the general come to Mrs. Bai's place?"
Mrs. Bai hurriedly said: "Didn't I live in the Wang family's mansion for a long time before? When I was in the Wang family, I had already known the general. He said that Uncle Yang was in mourning and would not see guests, so he asked Mrs. Yang to send venison. I passed by here today.
I just want to see Madam and say thank you."
Then Mrs. Bai said softly: "The general also said that Uncle Yang is a noble man."
Yang Huiyu observed Mrs. Bai's expression, but she still seemed unaware. Qin Liang was indeed a very reliable person, and he even explained it to Mrs. Bai specifically!
Yang Huiyu said: "Mrs. Bai's kindness is difficult to refuse, but my brother and sister-in-law don't eat meat, so I have to give it to others."
Mrs. Bai said: "It doesn't matter, it's not a valuable thing. If you don't eat it quickly, it will go bad."
Yang Huiyu asked: "Where is the general?"
Mrs. Bai turned her head and gestured to the hall to the north, "Waiting for you in the hall, madam."
Yang Huiyu said: "Please take me to see the general."
Mrs. Bai thought for a while and said, "The general said he has something to bring to Uncle Yang. I will go to the kitchen to make tea first."
Yang Huiyu walked up to the platform and saw Qin Liang coming out to greet him. She was heartbroken
She was so happy that she almost didn't dare to look at Qin Liang for a moment, in case she lost her composure in the eyes of the guards and maids. She immediately bowed and said, "I pay my respects to the general."
Qin Liang returned the greeting and said, "Mrs. Sheep, please come and be fine."
Yang Huiyu then remembered that this was his own courtyard, and immediately said: "General, please come and take a seat in the hall."
The two walked into the hall. Although the door was open, the scene inside could hardly be seen clearly from the outside, and it was difficult to hear the voices. Yang Huiyu then said angrily and coldly: "Even if I don't go, Zi Ning won't."
Come?"
After blurting out this sentence, she remembered that it was a familiar and easy-to-understand poem. The meaning of the whole poem was not to complain, and she immediately felt a little embarrassed.
Qin Liang said: "My uncle is in mourning. I went to visit the Yang family residence and asked to see Mrs. Yang. Isn't it good? So I never had a chance to meet. Mrs. Yang came to the General's Mansion this morning. Unfortunately, I went to the palace early in the morning.
, after hearing about it, I thought hard and came up with this way to say thank you.”
Yang Huiyu said: "I'm not here to see the general! It's just to visit Mrs. Wang."
Qin Liang nodded and said: "That's it."
Yang Huiyu thought he was laughing, but when she looked up, she saw that Qin Liang was not laughing at her. Seeing his look, Yang Huiyu suddenly lost her temper.
For a moment, she also felt that she seemed to be easily angry in recent years, and then she sighed quietly.
Qin Liang put his hand on her forearm, and Yang Huiyu didn't resist. He took a half step forward and gently hugged her. She quietly smelled Qin Liang's breath, but immediately felt something strange, and hurriedly said
"Mrs. Bai went to make tea. I don't know when she will come in." Qin Liang then let her go and invited her to the banquet.
