Chapter 39

Su Mingyue and Han Chengying went back to the street and searched everywhere, but they couldn't find any trace of Liang Guanjing and Lin Fangfei.

"I remembered a sentence: I searched for him thousands of times in the crowd, but when I looked back at dusk, that person was in a dimly lit place. Why did I look back and look back, but I couldn't find him everywhere?" Su Mingyue felt lost.

"I've thought about it, if you can't find Brother Liang, it's good for me to watch the lanterns and the moon with you." Han Chengying sighed.

"You can't find Brother Liang, and there are Sister Lin and Sister Su, but she is the only one in my heart." Su Mingyue raised her eyes and looked around, "I miss her in the day and miss her in the night, I always wish her well, thinking about her There is no way to please her. I always feel that I am not with her in her best days, but I am also glad that I can send her a little care and comfort when she is disheartened."

Seeing her gloomy expression, Han Chengying said, "You want to avoid the emperor because you already have a sweetheart? Tell me who it is, maybe I can help you elope."

"elopement?"

"That's right, I hate seeing a beauty but not being loved, and I am heartbroken."

Su Mingyue looked at Han Chengying's face in the light, and wanted to tell her everything for a moment, but she was still not sure about the consequences of telling her.

"Have you ever thought about how you would feel if your brother Liang fell in love with someone, but that person was not you?"

Han Chengying walked side by side with her. The people coming and going on the street, men and women, were mostly laughing and laughing, but she was a little frustrated in her chicness, and a little melancholy in her joy. If there was no Liang Guanjing in this world, what kind of person would she be? ?

"If she really falls in love with someone, even if that person is not me, that is great. If a person is born with only a family, a country and a world, then she is just a weapon of the country. What is the difference between the clay sculptures in the temple niches? Hero, this hero is not her, it can be someone else, but a person who knows, knows and loves, she is the one who really lived. I know that she hopes to save the common people and leave her name in history. In fact, she has already done it. , I still hope she lives like a human being."

"Of course she lives like a human being. She is the most wonderful person I have ever seen."

Han Chengying smiled, "Are you in love with her?"

"How can I not love?"

"Everyone will fall in love with her, me, and my emperor brother, we all fell in love with her at first sight."

Su Mingyue was still thinking about how to tell her, when suddenly a child threw a cannon beside them, which made her stagger in fright, and Han Chengying hurriedly supported her.

"She's just in love with someone," she said bravely.

"No, she doesn't love the emperor. In the past, she may have been attracted to King Yan, but what she loves is the feeling of fresh clothes and angry horses, and the feeling of holding a sword to the end of the world, which King Yan can promise her."

"I'm not talking about the emperor, I'm talking about the fact that she fell in love with a person and had a physical relationship with that person, which is the most recent thing."

Han Chengying was stunned.

"So you are here!" Someone in the crowd said loudly.

Han Chengying and Su Mingyue turned their heads together and saw Liang Guanjing and Lin Fangfei standing not far away. Both of them were wearing newly bought masks. The red lips under the masks were bright and delicious.

Liang Guanjing walked over, she tried to reach out her hand to pull Su Mingyue, but after thinking about it, she put it down again, Han Chengying saw all this, she looked at this, and then at that, and found that the eyes of the two were gluey, and her heart felt like Clear as a mirror.

Lin Fangfei was holding a little Mrs. Tang wrapped in embroidered brocade in her hand. She complained: "The weather is really cold to death, and Mrs. Tang is too cold."

"I know a nearby restaurant, I'll help you get some hot water." Han Chengying said naturally to pick up Tang Pozi from her hand, and then pulled Lin Fangfei away without looking back.

Only Liang Guanjing and Su Mingyue were left in the downtown area.

"She ignored me just now." Liang Guanjing said, "What did you tell her? Why are you with her, Huang... where is our young master?"

"We went to a restaurant, met the princess and the son-in-law, the emperor and his brother-in-law were talking about military affairs, and we ran out by ourselves."

Liang Guanjing felt incredible, and Su Mingyue took her hand, "Hurry up, the moonlight is alluring tonight, and Ah Yuan and I haven't breathed the fresh air outside for a long time."

"Are you cold?" Liang Guanjing saw that she was wearing little clothes, so he reached out and hugged her tightly.

Su Mingyue giggled: "With Ah Yuan in his arms, why do you feel cold?"

"Don't be silly, let's go and sit in a warm place." After Liang Guanjing finished speaking, he turned to a guard in the crowd and said, "It's important that you guard the young master carefully. I can do nothing here. Let's all go."

After the guards were sent away, the two of them wandered freely in the street.

"Ah Yuan's mask is so pretty, I want one too."

"I bought four in total, one for each person. Concubine Shu brought an embroidered bag, so she asked her to carry it with her. I'll ask you for it later. If you like it, I'll let you wear it first."

The two leaned together and walked forward, the cloaks couldn't cover much warmth, but the warmth from each other was refreshing, walked out of the brightly lit streets of the capital city, and passed through several alleys, feeling in the dark in seven Walking straight on the eight-turn road, Su Mingyue really hoped to keep walking like this, even if there were blood blisters on her feet, it wouldn't matter.

"I'll take you to a place." As she spoke, she came to a small lintel, reached out and knocked on the copper ring on it.

After a while, someone came to answer the door, and Liang Guanjing led Su Mingyue across the threshold and into the courtyard in a flash.The woman was 50 to [-] years old, her temples were slightly frosted, and she was so shocked to see Liang Guanjing that she couldn't speak.

"Ah Yuan...is that you, I am not dreaming!"

"It's me, touch it." Liang Guanjing led her hand to touch his face.

The woman touched Liang Guanjing, then pinched her arm. It hurt, and she realized that she was not dreaming.

Liang Guanjing turned around and introduced to Su Mingyue, "This is my wet nurse, you can call her Mother Yao. This is... you can just call her Miss Yu'er."

"It's cold outside, you two, go inside and talk."

The two of them walked through the small courtyard and entered the house. The brazier inside was warm and warm. Under the lamp, a pair of boys and girls in their teens were reading and writing. After half of the help, it was obvious that he heard someone knocking on the door and left it behind.

Yao's mother called the boys and girls, "Brother Lin, brother Xu, hurry up, come and kowtow."

"Impossible!" Liang Guanjing quickly helped the two of them up.

Yao Ma couldn't restrain her excitement, "Do you know who this is?"

Liang Guanjing shook her head, motioning her not to speak.

Yao Ma said happily, "This is your nurse."

The pair of boys and girls named Brother Huanlin and Brother Xu are still confused and confused.

"Is everything okay at home?" Liang Guanjing asked.

"Good! Good! The old lady sent someone to send some silver taels a few years ago, and asked me to buy some things for the house. No, I made new clothes for the children."

Liang Guanjing, "I heard that your husband-in-law disappeared last year, and your mother asked you to go to Liang's mansion, but you refused to go?"

"No, the old lady is good to me, I know it in my heart, but I can't let go of the children, besides you are not in the mansion anymore. I went to be a wet nurse back then to support the family, so I don't feel ashamed to stay in the Liang family."

Liang Guanjing knew that she had her own plans, so she didn't force her, she looked around, "You two children are raised really well, brother Xu is a girl, do you want her to read too?"

"Girls can read and read, which is considered a skill. It's better than doing some manual work. Even if you sit under the lamp all day long for embroidery, you will be blind at my age."

The two had a personal conversation, and Liang Guanjing said that it was too dark to go back to the palace, could he stay overnight.

Yao's mother readily agreed, "It's just my small house here, it's very simple, I'm afraid the girls won't get used to it."

"It's very good. When I am marching and fighting, there are days when the sky is on the ground, and the tiles on my head are all good. Besides, your place is not bad."

"Thanks to the old lady, I'm just a wet nurse. She has treated me so well that she has the money to buy this house in the capital. Come whenever you like, as long as you don't dislike it."

Liang Guanjing followed Yao's mother into the wing room on the second floor, "You two girls, wait a moment, I'll bring you a clean quilt."

After a while, Yao's mother made a bed and brought the brazier downstairs with her children.

"There are other braziers at home, this one is warmer, use it first."

Liang Guanjing said: "Mother Yao, I don't want to be polite to you. If there is trouble in the future, Miss Yu'er and I will come to you to hide."

"Ah Yuan was joking."

Liang Guanjing said seriously: "I'm not joking."

Yao's mother restrained her smile, and nodded solemnly, "Okay! It's a deal."

"It's getting late, you should go and rest too, Miss Mingyue and I are also tired."

"I'm going to fetch water for the two girls to wash up." Yao Ma got busy again like a spinning top.

Liang Guanjing responded calmly, without even saying a word of thanks.

The moon was shining in the west, and Su Mingyue looked out through the half-opened window. The tall buildings and pavilions in the imperial city in the distance were still brightly lit, but they became a small painting in the night.

"Mother Yao is a hard-working person. She was sold to this family in the early years to fill in the house of a lame man. Later, she went to Liang's mansion as a wet nurse to supplement the family income. At that time, the Liang's family had not yet entered Beijing, and they were running around all day long. She has always been by my side to take care of me. When I was ten years old, I also left home to join my brothers in the army. My mother wanted to keep her. She was worried about her lame husband at home, so she went back. It’s been like this for most of my life "Liang Guanjing sighed, "But if you and I are really in trouble in the future, this place can be used as a shelter, and she will protect you and me well. No one else knows about this house except for some old servants in Liang's residence."

After a pause, seeing that Su Mingyue was still looking at the bright moon outside the window, she lowered her voice, feeling a little embarrassed, "Isn't it very unpleasant to say something like this on a day like this? This house is not like drinking outside. The building listening to the music is so gorgeous."

Su Mingyue turned around and walked to her side, and snuggled into her arms, "This is probably the most touching confession I heard in Shangyuan night."
