Immortal Venerable Cubs Manual II [Quick Transmigration]

Yan Shisan led the way. They walked for about two quarters of an hour, and then saw that the road gradually widened, and a few stone houses could be seen not far away.

Yan Shisan whistled, and the four horses ran over.

He explained to Si Xingjian: "The horses here are not as good as before. There are only a few horses, and there is a donkey cart waiting in front."

This place is not as good as the capital city. There are very few people using carriages, and there are not many people riding horses. Only a few generals ride horses.And they occasionally go to the city to purchase so that they can't attract too much attention, so they use donkey carts.

Si Xingjian expressed his understanding.

He casually led a horse, "Let's go."

A group of them rode old horses and donkey carts slowly and leisurely, and arrived at Yuezhou City at noon.

Yuezhou is not a big city, with only three counties under its jurisdiction, which is mountainous and has a small population.

The Yuezhou City they are now in is actually the seat of the entire Yuezhou government, which is equivalent to the provincial capital city of later generations, but because it does not have a serious name like other places, this city has been called "Yuezhou" over time. city".

It can also be seen from this point that this place is not valued by the court.

After Si Xingjian entered the city gate, he put on the mask.The original owner had lived here for a few years, and besides Liang Shuying, other people knew this face. Now Si Xingjian has no plans to reminisce about the old days. It would be troublesome if someone recognized her.

They came to the largest restaurant in the city, no matter what, they should fill their stomachs first.

"Two private rooms." Si Xingjian said directly, and then led Zhao Zhao and the others upstairs.

Zhao Qing directly sat in the lobby with the rest of the guards.

Liang Zhaozhao had already discovered that the man named Zhao Man rode a horse and took a step ahead when he was approaching the gate of the city, and he didn't know where he went.

This is naturally Si Xingjian's order, and he asked Zhao Man to bring Ruyan to see him.

When he went upstairs, he went to a private room to wait for others, and asked Zhao Zhao and the others to go to another room for dinner.He only ordered two light side dishes, and ordered a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus honey wine to drink for himself.

The other private room was more lively, and Liang Zhaozhao and Si Anyue could chat for a while while waiting for the dishes to be served.

Si Anyue pushed open the window and watched the people coming and going downstairs, "I lived here for a while when I was a child, but now I don't have any memory of it."

Liang Zhaozhao said: "Ten years ago, Yuezhou City was not like this. There was no such restaurant at that time."

"Really? I don't even remember where I lived at that time." Si Anyue said with some regret.Those few years when she was a child were probably the most leisurely and comfortable time for her.

At that time, the adoptive mother Liang was still there, so she probably thought she was her biological daughter.She couldn't remember her father's attitude towards her at that time, probably because she wanted to be strict, but since she was still young, her father would have nothing to do.

Liang Zhaozhao also showed melancholy, she was precocious, and remembered a lot of things about three or four years old.

She remembered the figure of A-Niang threading needles and threads under the dim light—her clothes were all cut or resized by A-Niang herself.On her third birthday, A Niang used leftover thread to sew bright hair flowers for her to wear.

She also remembered how the eldest aunt of the Liang family bullied her and A Niang when they returned to the Liang family.Now that I think about it, the eldest aunt hated her, but it was because A Niang protected her that she was angered.

Later, Aunt Liang and Mrs. Wang who bullied their mother and daughter died. The girl didn't care, so she left.

After leaving the Liang Mansion, their life became more and more difficult...

Liang Zhaozhao is not the kind of person who dwells on the past. Just looking at his life today, he can't help but fantasize: If he could lend a helping hand at that time, even if he just lent them some money, A Niang would not have died young. If she passed away, maybe A Niang would have a chance to meet her biological daughter.

When she regained her composure, she heard Si Anyue say, "If you have free time, you can take me around the city." She smiled and replied, "Okay."

Those who go can not be remonstrated, and those who come can still be chased.

Her debt to A Niang, those irreparable regrets, can only be made up for by A Niang's own daughter.

Si Anyue turned around and took Liang Zhaozhao's hand, "Then tell me about the new things here?"

She could feel that Zhao Zhao seemed to be in a bad mood, but she didn't understand the reason, let alone how to persuade her, so she had to interrupt and talk about other things to let Zhao Zhao change her mood.

"What's new in this small place? I'm afraid the popular things came from the capital." Liang Zhaozhao was busy surviving before, but after following Liang Shuying, although he was not short of money, he was also busy studying to enrich himself, and he had no time at all. Hanging around, so Liang Zhaozhao didn't know about the things that his daughter's family cared about, such as the powder shop and jewelry patterns in Yuezhou.

Liang Zhaozhao didn't know what to talk about, so he changed the subject: "Do you remember your adoptive mother, Mrs. Liang? Do you want to meet her this time?"

Si Anyue was a little confused about how to answer, she wanted to see her very much at first, but now in front of Zhaozhao, if she answered "yes", would Zhaozhao feel that she was going to rob her of her mother?But she wanted to answer "No", because she was afraid that Zhaozhao would think she was ungrateful.

"It all depends on father's plan." Si Anyue replied ambiguously, secretly proud of her wit.

But she still couldn't help asking: "I don't know how Mrs. Liang has been doing these years?"

Liang Zhaozhao smiled lightly, "It's like drinking water, maybe my wife thinks it's good."

Si Anyue seemed to disapprove of her tone, and even had a hint of disdain, so she felt puzzled, "Why did Zhao Zhao say that?"

"I've only been with my wife for less than four years. It's not as long as you guys. Now that I'm not too young, it's hard for me to talk to my wife, so I don't know what kind of life my wife wants." Liang Zhaozhao said in a calm tone.

She was really puzzled.

If we talk about wealth, when Mrs. Liang followed Si Xingjian in the past, he must have had enough to eat and drink, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to share so much property after reconciling.After taking her with me, although I have to deal with a lot of gossip, but if I close the door and live my own life, what can others do?They are not short of money, so they don't have to go out to see people's faces.

Liang Zhaozhao felt that even if Liang Shuwen was entangled and coveted the property, the name would not be justified after all. At worst, he would sue the government with a pleading letter, and the matter would be settled with more money.Or go back to Heyang, which is the hometown of the Liang family. The clan is there. They spend some money, buy some land as clan land, or donate some money to the clan school. Those clan elders will not make too much face.

However, at that time, Liang Shuying refuted one by one, saying that Liang Zhaozhao was young and innocent, how could he know the difficulties of orphans and widowed mothers?What's more, she is a girl and the adopted daughter of the Liang family. She has no future except marrying into a good family. The members of the Liang family will not protect them.

Liang Shuying also said that Liang Shuwen is the only man in this branch, and his mother Wang's mother family is a big family, and the clan will value him more.

In Liang Shuying's eyes, it would be impossible to have no man in the family after all, so she had so many choices to marry Zhou Yong with so many pretense.

Although filial piety is emphasized nowadays, and he doesn't say anything about his parents' faults, Liang Zhaozhao still thinks that Liang Shuying's vision is not good-she wants to look good, and she wants money and money. Picture what?To show him lust?Or do you want him to have more children?

Even if Zhou Yong is powerful and able to protect the two of them, he still needs to consider—if Zhou Yong takes a fancy to their property and wants to kill them, wouldn't it be an easy task?

If they died in the backyard, who would avenge them?

Liang Zhaozhao sighed, and said to Si Anyue: "You should know that my wife is remarried, right? I don't think my wife married a human being, but she seems to be enjoying it."

"If you are free, go and see her. My wife mentioned you to me many times before, and she misses you."

Si Anyue twisted the veil with her fingers, and asked hesitantly, "You, do you blame me?"

"What's your fault?" Liang Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows.

Si Anyue didn't dare to look at her, "Blame me for stealing your mother, blame me for taking your identity...you are the daughter of my father's biological mother, and my birth mother's status is low, even..."

Even if it was a misunderstanding, Liang Zhaozhao didn't want to hear Si Anyue say anything wrong with her biological mother, so he interrupted: "How can you blame me? This has nothing to do with you."

"What's more..." Liang Zhaozhao looked at Si Anyue with joy in his eyes, "I followed my adoptive mother when I was young, and my adoptive mother treated me very well. I don't feel that I owe anything."

"Your adoptive mother?"

"Yes, would you like to come with me to pay homage to her?" Liang Zhaozhao seemed to make this proposal logically.

In fact, she had long wanted Si Anyue to pay her respects at Aniang's grave. After all, Sister Yue'er was born to Aniang, but she was afraid that it would be abrupt to mention it rashly. Now that the word has come to this point, it is a good time.

When Si Anyue received this invitation, she only thought that Zhaozhao sincerely accepted her sister, so she nodded, "Of course I am willing. If there is no such kind person, I'm afraid I will feel even more guilty."

"I just don't know, what happened in the first place? How could..."

At this time, Xiao Er happened to knock on the door and serve the food.

Liang Zhaozhao said: "It's a long story, and I don't know the details. For details, you should ask that person."

She pointed to the private room next door.

She doesn't want to bother thinking about lying, so let the person who hides everything think about how to explain it.

Looking at the very delicate and delicious food, the table was quickly filled. At first Liang Zhaozhao thought it was for several people, but later he realized that it was for her and Si Anyue.

Although Hibiscus and Cherry are also in this room, they are on a small table.

Liang Zhaozhao asked, "Just the two of us?"

Si Anyue: "It's more comfortable this way."

She doesn't like others to serve her food very much. She has hands and knows what she likes to eat best. Why does she need others to serve her food?

As for the four of them eating at the same table... For Hibiscus and Cherry, there is a difference between master and servant. If they eat at the same table, it would be too unruly, and in that case, everyone seemed uncomfortable.

Naturally, Liang Zhaozhao also understood this, but she was just a little surprised, did the father and daughter even have to divide the table?She thought that he only went to the next door to avoid the two of them for the time being.

"Don't you need to wait?" Seeing Si Anyue picking up the chopsticks, she asked hesitantly.

"Wait? Do you mean to wait for father?" Si Anyue felt that her question was strange. Seeing her nod, she continued, "You shouldn't need to. Father may have something to talk about. He's in another private room. He won't." Starve yourself."

Liang Zhaozhao looked at the dishes on the table. A cup of sour bamboo shoots and old duck soup almost made people drool. The fried golden lotus root clips also made people move their index fingers. The shredded yam was as beautiful as amber, and the crystal shrimp jelly was crystal clear. ... The most rare dish is braised beef tendon. It is not easy to eat beef nowadays, let alone the very small portion of beef tendon.

Four dishes and one soup are indeed too much for two 13-year-old girls.

"There are so many, the two of us eat, will it be a waste?"

Si Anyue said: "No, this kind of food should be regarded as a signature dish, right? Even if we can't finish it, there are mistresses or helpers who are willing to take away the leftovers."

This is the difference between the two concepts.

Because Si Anyue has never worried about money, in her opinion, as long as food is eaten in the stomach, it is not considered a waste, even if it is the money they spend, it is cheaper for others.

As for Liang Zhaozhao, he lived a hard life before, even if he is not short of money now, he will not pay for unnecessary expenses.

After hearing Si Anyue's words, Liang Zhaozhao realized that the two thought differently, so she just smiled.

Probably this is "if you are poor, you will be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world"?

It was just the two of them, and it was when they wanted to get close to each other, so they didn't pay attention to the rule of "eat, don't talk", and the two of them chatted while eating.

Si Anyue took a bite of the fragrant and crispy lotus root clip, and felt the sweetness on her lips and teeth. She couldn't help exclaiming softly: "The food here is too delicious!"

Although the food here is good, it is not as exaggerated as Si Anyue's performance.It's just because she used to eat very light food, but now that she suddenly eats this kind of fried food, doesn't she think it's delicious?

Seeing her reaction like this, Liang Zhaozhao couldn't help feeling a little funny. Looking at the cost of her clothes, she knew that her life should be very delicate. How could she eat less?

The food here can't compare to the bustling places in the capital, could it be that Yue'er is just doing this to save face, to praise her?

Liang Zhaozhao had such doubts, so he asked in a joking tone.

Si Anyue shook her head, and said very solemnly: "I'm not exaggerating, I really think it's delicious."

Her food is all delicate, but it is very bland.

Nowadays, thinness is regarded as beautiful for women. Women should be as quiet as virgins, weak and supportive, restrained and refined. Of course, it is even better if they have outstanding appearance.

Although in the upper class of the capital, people are ashamed to talk about a woman's appearance in public, and prefer to comment on which family is talented and which lady is virtuous, but it cannot be denied that people like beauty.

Except for Si Anyue's background, those standards seemed to be met, at least on the surface.Although she was only born in a merchant's family, she was brought up according to the standards of a noble daughter from an aristocratic family.

Little fairies like them use lotus dew plums and snow to make tea. How can they eat this kind of duck soup with oily flowers and strong taste?The lotus that comes out of the mud and is not stained is used to praise and describe the noble character. How can it sandwich the meat and fry it until golden?

You can’t eat food that is too greasy, because it will make you fat and acne; you should not eat too much meat, as it will make your body smell bad; you can’t eat food that is too strong...

Si Anyue felt that she ate almost all boiled vegetarian dishes at her home in the capital, and her life was worse than that of a monk.

Si Anyue roughly talked about some of the meals she used to eat before, and then said: "On the way to Yuezhou, maybe because I didn't bring a cook, I ate with my father, and the food gradually became more abundant... "

She gradually recalled the food she had eaten along the way. At first, it was relatively bland, but gradually it gained flavor.Take soup as an example: Tofu soup was the most common drink at the beginning, and then it was mostly bone soup or fish soup.A few days ago, before they reached Yuezhou City, they passed by a town, bought fresh mutton, and had a pot of mutton soup, but now...

Si Anyue looked at this cup of sour bamboo shoot and old duck soup, rolled up her sleeves and filled two bowls.She put one of the bowls in front of Zhao Zhao, and couldn't wait to taste it.

There are a few oily flowers floating on the clear duck soup, but the soup is not greasy at all, but it dilutes the deep-fried aroma of the lotus root in the mouth.

Her food was indeed gradually enriched along the way.

This change is not unintentional, but deliberately arranged.

Dad will pay attention to these?And why do you want to do this?

Si Anyue couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it.At present, she should concentrate on eating food, no matter what her father wants her to do, she doesn't want to treat herself badly.

And Liang Zhaozhao heard her roughly talk about the changes before and after, and a faint doubt arose in his heart: What happened to change his attitude towards Yue'er?

She always felt that all these unreasonable things seemed to be related to it.Otherwise, why would a person do inconsistent things?

Now is not a good time, if there is an opportunity in the future, I have to sort it out with Yueer carefully to find the opportunity.

The elegant room next door.

Ruyan pushed the door open and went in, and saw Si Xingjian sitting upright.

In front of him were only two dishes that were incompatible with this luxury restaurant, and a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus honey wine.His face, which was originally like a crown of jade, seemed to be a little red from drinking, and his light-colored clothes gave him a bookish look.

If an uninformed person sees this scene, he may unreasonably think of a wanderer living in another country, or a lonely scholar, and wish to have a drink with him and comfort him.

But Ruyan didn't dare to have other thoughts at all, she just took a look at Si Xingjian's face, she couldn't figure out whether he was in a good mood or a bad mood, so she simply knelt down and admitted her mistake.

"Master, I have neglected my duty this time and failed to complete the task well. Please punish me."

She is only fortunate that Liang Zhaozhao is safe and sound now, and her negligence has not caused irreparable losses.

Si Xingjian frowned lightly and said, "Get up."

At this time, Ruyan was definitely ordering and moving, she immediately stood up honestly, waiting for Si Xingjian's next order.

"Tell me about yesterday."

Ruyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, as long as she was willing to ask the reason behind it.She had already imagined what Si Xingjian would ask, so she was able to speak out now.

"Yesterday, Mrs. Liang took Ms. Liang to Dongshan Temple to offer incense. Aunt Mei from Zhou Yong's backyard accompanied her with a son and a daughter, and Aunt Wan accompanied her with a daughter. Because I have to keep my filial piety now, I didn't go with me, so I understand What happened at the time of arrival was learned from these people afterwards.”

She said this not to excuse herself, but to truthfully tell the source of the news.

"To show their sincerity, they went up the mountain on foot. Only Aunt Mei's son and Aunt Wan's daughter were still young and were carried by the mother-in-law. When they arrived at the temple, several female relatives felt exhausted and rested in the wing room, but Aunt Mei My son, whose nickname is Brother Yu, is making a fuss and wants to go out to play."

"Originally two wives took Brother Yu out for a walk, but one woman came back and reported that Brother Yu was lost. A group of people went to look for it. Later, Brother Yu was found. Miss Liang It's gone."

"Later, some monks discovered that Ms. Liang had fallen into the river in the back mountain, but no one was found, only the shoes by the river."

At that time, Zhao Man also followed, but outsiders were not allowed to enter the resting place of those female relatives, not to mention that Zhao Man was not an upright servant who accompanied them.

After something happened, Zhao Man took someone to look for it.

What happened afterwards, Ruyan didn't go into details, because she knew that Zhao Man was there, so she must have reported it to her master long ago.

She quietly raised her eyes, only to see Si Xingjian pouring a glass of wine with her usual expression.

She only sighed silently in her heart: the master is really becoming more and more unfathomable and elusive.

"On the surface, they said that Ms. Liang fell into the water because she was playful. In fact, Aunt Mei provided another excuse after returning home. Aunt Mei said that at that time, she was anxious to find Brother Yu and accidentally sprained her ankle. , but I heard someone said that I saw a three or four-year-old child catching birds in the bamboo forest in the back mountain, so I asked Ms. Liang to look for it."

"They met a villain in the bamboo forest. Miss Liang lured the villain away and ran away. That's why they fell into the water."

Ruyan heard some things from Zhao Man, and suspected that Liang Zhaozhao pretended to fall into the water and escaped on purpose.However, as a qualified subordinate, she should truthfully report what she knows. As for what guesses and conclusions she gets, that is the master's business.

Si Xingjian tapped the white porcelain wine glass with his slender fingers. After a while, he said, "What happened to the Zhou Mansion recently, is it related to Zhao Zhao? Especially it is not good for her."

Ruyan's heart trembled, and she almost suspected that he had sent someone else to investigate.

She hurriedly said: "Yes, Zhou Yong seems to be planning to send Ms. Liang...to the boss to be...as a concubine."

Now, she didn't need to look up to know that Si Xingjian was angry, after all, she could hear the sound of the wine glass being crushed.

Si Xingjian was really angry, what are those ugly old men who are married to their wives always coveting his daughter?The juicy cabbage in his house, can any pig be delusional?

He asked almost word for word: "Who is that man?" The killing intent in it couldn't be concealed at all.

It was the original owner's idea to use Si Anyue to have a relationship with the King of Qi. Although this approach may be suspected of selling a girl for glory, at least the original owner raised Si Anyue so much.Although Si Xingjian disagreed, he understood that such an approach was actually understandable in this era of "parental orders".

But Zhou Yong, why?Because of his big face?Does he have no sense of shame?

What's more, the original owner is dead, and now the person who controls this body is Si Xingjian, so naturally he can't do anything to him.but now……

Whether it's Zhou Yong, or the pig coveting his cabbage, he will not be soft-hearted.

Ru Yan said: "Zhou Yong only came up with this idea when he saw that Miss Liang was becoming more and more beautiful and approaching the age of marriage. In fact, he has not taken any specific actions. The person he wants to please most is naturally the head of the local military officer—— Commander Lee."

"But Commander Li's wife is a tigress, which is well known in the local area, so Commander Li may not have the courage to accept it."

"If it doesn't work, then..." Then find someone else.

Another wine glass shattered.

Si Xingjian shook his hand, and the broken cup fell to the ground, and a bloodstain was drawn on his palm.

"Li Chongshan?" Si Xingjian sneered, "He is almost forty years old! A bad old man, he is worthy?!"

For example, the corner of the mouthpiece twitched twice. For the first time, she knew that 34 years old was almost forty years old, and she could be called a bad old man.

Men, as long as they have money and power, from their teens to their [-]s, they all want to accept girls who are less than [-] years old.What's so strange about this?Even if some men don't do it, they take it for granted.

Ruyan thought slightly bitterly.

The reason why the master is so angry is because this little girl is his daughter.
