Chapter 5: farewell

"Yaji is ahead of schedule?" Liang Feng asked with raised eyebrows, leaning on the table.

A Liang replied: "Reporting to the master, it should be early. I went around the courtyard several times today, and I heard that Wang Zhongzheng doesn't like being restrained, so I changed the elegant collection to tomorrow, just outside the city. In the Sushui Pavilion next to Mount Wei."

Upon receiving the order, A Liang did not dare to neglect, and immediately organized a few people to listen to the news. Don't say, the method said by the master really works, but I just spent a little money to get the news from the servants in charge of the carriages and horses. Several families agreed that they would go to Sushui Pavilion in the future. There are also a few well-informed people who bluntly said that nobles do not like the constraints of mansions, and want to hold an elegant gathering on the mountainside to evaluate the children of various families.

This was several days earlier than the original owner's memory, and Li Lang deliberately blocked the news, even if he insisted on participating in the elegant gathering, I am afraid it would be too late. Liang Feng thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Is that water-extracting pavilion close to the official road?"

"Weishan is on the west side of the official road, not far away." A Liang, who was most familiar with the road, replied immediately.

"That's good." Liang Feng said, "Pack up and keep quiet. After Li Lang goes out tomorrow, we'll hit the road and head home."

Lu Zhu blinked in surprise: "Lang Jun, do you want to participate in the elegant gathering? Your body... "

"Who said I wanted to participate?" With a chuckle, Liang Feng propped up his body slightly, "It's barely, let's say goodbye."

Early the next morning, Liang Shu watched her son leave the Li residence. For today, the Li family has exhausted their energy, not only carefully prepared clothes and crowns for Li Lang, but also prepared a famous qin incense burner for him, a clever book boy. Let Li Lang, who had only five or six points of appearance, also have seven or eight points of bearing. As long as there is no big mistake in the correct answer, you should have a good chance of winning a top grade.

It's a pity I can't go with it myself. The frame had already left the Li residence, and Liang Shu was sitting in the room, unable to feel at ease for a long time. Seeing the sun gradually rise from the east, her emotions became more and more nervous. Wang Zhongzheng should be here soon, right? That is the direct descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan. I have seen such a talented and handsome son. Can he catch his eye

It was at the time of anxiety in her heart when Jianjia suddenly walked in and said in a panic, "Mother, Liang Langjun is here to say goodbye!"

"What?!" Liang Shu stood up suddenly, "Why did you choose at this time? Has the servant revealed the rumor?"

"No!" Jianjia hurriedly retorted, "If he knew about Yaji, why would he choose this time? It's probably just a coincidence."

Hearing this, Liang Shu calmed down a little. Indeed, when is this all, even if we rush to Sushui Pavilion now, it is estimated that we will not be able to catch up with Yaji. This is a big deal, how can people be late. Her face softened a bit, Liang Shu sat back on the main seat again, calmed herself, and said, "Let him come in first."

Jianjia got the order and turned to go out. After a while, Liang Feng slowly walked into the door with the help of green bamboo. Seeing the appearance of the person coming, Liang Shu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. I saw that man's face was pale and haggard. He was dressed in white and plain, and it was a bit awkward to hang on his body. It didn't look like he was going to an elegant gathering at all. Instead, it's more of a casual outfit for a long journey.

However, Liang Shu would not show such thoughts on her face. Instead, she frowned slightly and said angrily: "Feng'er, you haven't recovered yet, so why did you get out of bed? When something happens, let your aunt take care of it."

With the help of the green bamboo, Liang Feng came to stand in the hall, and bowed slightly to the beautiful woman: "Auntie, I have been thinking about it for a long time these two days. Since I can't participate in the elegant gathering, it is better to leave as soon as possible, so as to avoid only to cause grief."

Liang Shu choked, this is really hard to refute. According to the original plan, the elegant gathering should be held the day after tomorrow. It is not difficult to understand if you want to leave early, out of sight and out of mind. But it's so coincidental! After a pause, Liang Shu sighed faintly: "It's not that your aunt doesn't understand what you're thinking. It's just a spur of the moment.

Liang Feng gave a miserable laugh: "To be honest with my aunt, I was afraid that this wreckage could not hold up, so I wanted to rush back as soon as possible. Rong'er is still waiting at home, and I have to meet him."

These words were extremely inauspicious, but Liang Shu's eyes lit up. That's right, if Liang Feng hurried home and bumped all the way, he might die. In addition, since he is leaving now, naturally he will not know about Yaji's advance. The calculation that deliberately concealed the matter was also wiped out. It's not a good thing to kill two birds with one stone!

Pretending to hesitate for a moment, Liang Shu sighed sullenly: "It's all because of your aunt's carelessness that made you seriously ill. Anyway, I'll send you out of the city. It's a long way to go, you must take care of your health. In a few days, I'll let Lang'er visit you again."

As long as the servants can watch Liang Feng and bypass the Sushui Pavilion along the way, Yaji's affairs will not be revealed. Liang Shu's abacus jingled and said with a pretentious gesture.

"Thank you aunt." Liang Feng was also polite and thanked him.

After two more polite words, seeing that the sick young man was on the verge of collapse, Liang Shucai personally sent him out of the door, and sent two henchmen to follow him out of the county town.

After arranging everything, she breathed a sigh of relief when she looked at the ox cart that went far away. This time, nothing is lost.

The Liang family's bullock cart is not luxurious, it only has a soft couch on one side, and even the incense burner is not lit. However, what is placed on the small table at the moment is not tea and cakes, but a bronze mirror powder box. Lvzhu looked at the man leaning leisurely on the couch, and anxiously urged: "Langjun, it only takes half an hour to leave the city. If you want to participate in the elegant gathering, you must change your clothes. This white coat is too crude, I will go get that one. How about the begonia-colored ice-patterned silk robe?"

Men have to wear powder and flowers, and wear colorful clothes. What kind of world is this? Liang Feng resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said comfortably, "No need to apply powder, just trim and trim the eyebrows, and make the eyebrows slightly raised."

This respectful face is still a bit feminine, and a sword eyebrow can bring out some energy.

Lvzhu was stunned, her husband always liked Fu Fen hairpins, why did he suddenly change his hobby? She asked dumbly, "Where's the robe..."

"Looking for a dark robe, it's better to have no pattern and keep it simple." Although Liang Feng was not familiar with the aesthetics of this time, the "female wants to be pretty with three points of filial piety, and the man wants to be pretty with soap" has remained unchanged for thousands of years. common sense is quite clear. He has become so ill, and no matter how much he dresses up, it's no use, it's better to focus on the key points.

It was obvious that the princes of the Sima family were about to beat their heads into dog heads, and that Wang Zhongzheng pretended to turn the talent-sweeping ceremony into a poetry club. What Wei Jin demeanor, what outstanding. To put it bluntly, it is coercion. Even if he is not very familiar with history, has he watched few pretending jokes for thousands of years? Coupled with this beautiful face that is never mixed with water, and don't wear special clothes, isn't it blinding the Li family's heavy vigilance

Liang Feng raised his eyebrows and said to the little maid who was still dumbfounded, "What are you still doing? Hurry up and find it."

The bullock cart squeaked out of the city gate and headed for the official road. The two servants of the Li residence breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they walked a few more miles, they would bypass the trail to Weishan Mountain. By then, the task assigned by the mistress would be completed, and they would be able to return home. However, I was just a little slack in my heart when a startled voice suddenly came from the car: "Lang Jun, look! There are a lot of cars and horses parked over there!"

The servant of the Li family immediately raised his mind and hurriedly said: "Maybe it is a noble traveler from some family, we'd better avoid it..."

"Which one?" Lvzhu said reluctantly, "How can I see that there are several slaves? Ah, isn't that the frame of Li's house?"

The servant immediately panicked and was trying to find an excuse to prevaricate when a faint voice came from the car: "Since the third brother is also here, go around and say goodbye to him."

"Liang Langjun, this, this is not necessary..." The face of the servants of the Li family changed, and he wanted to say something.

When the bamboo curtain of the ox cart was lifted, Green Bamboo had stuck his head out and said angrily, "You dare not listen to what my lord says? What are you! Ah Liang, go over there!"

After all, there are different masters and subordinates, and the Liang family has three cars and ten people, even if the two slaves wanted to stop them, they couldn't stop them at the moment. The bullock cart turned and headed steadily down to the foot of the Weishan Mountain. It is said that it is a mountain, but Weishan is actually not high, especially in a place surrounded by mountains like Shangdang, it is even more unremarkable. Fortunately, there are tree shades and streams, which can be considered quiet and elegant. The Sushui Pavilion is built on the mountainside, winding more than 100 steps and stretching upwards, making the small pavilion a bit of a winding path.

At the foot of the mountain, a lot of frames have been parked, most of which are light cars and simple frames, and a few are more luxurious, but only three or five servants are guarding the side. Seeing the arrival of a new ox cart, a neatly dressed official came over, stopped the cart, and said politely: "Wang Zhong is holding an elegant gathering on the mountain, please come back on another day."

His voice fell behind, and the ox cart was eerily silent for a moment. When the little official was about to repeat it, a slightly hoarse voice suddenly came from the car: "Yaji is ahead of schedule?"

Although the voice was not clear, it was deep and gentle, quite touching, not to mention the surprise and loss in the speaker's voice. The little official suddenly felt some pity in his heart. Could it be that some Langjun didn't receive the news, it was long overdue? However, with the task at hand, he did not dare to slack off, and said again: "The elegant collection has already begun, please stay behind."

This was seeing off the guests, but the bullock cart still didn't mean to turn around and go away. On the contrary, the bamboo curtain was lifted, and a young maid came down from the inside, and placed the footstool beside the cart briskly. The clerk was about to say something, but saw a bird-like blue cloud pattern treading on clouds stretched out from the carriage and gently landed on the footstool.

"Zhe Liangfeng in Xiachen County, come to visit Zhongzheng. Please introduce me."

With a word stuck in his throat, the clerk stared blankly at the young man who stepped out of the ox cart, unable to speak any longer.
