Chapter 95: The Way of Concubine
For half a month, Lu Xiu had been taking a leave of absence claiming to be sick. Until today, he finally went to the court.
Liang Huan didn’t know how the Duke’s Mansion ended up after that day. After all, she was trapped in this small courtyard all day, almost isolated from the world.
If Lu Xiu didn't speak, she wouldn't know anything at all.
Forget about killing Gao Qian, if this continues, Gao Qian may not even remember that there is a person like her, and it will be impossible for him to enter the palace again.
Liang Huan had reason to believe that Lu Xiu did it on purpose, just to keep her in check and make her realize that there was no hope of regicide.
In order not to become blinded, Liang Huan would go to see the Grand Master every day. Today he would make some snacks, tomorrow he would make a pot of good tea, and the day after tomorrow he would make a nice soup...
She said that she would never marry in this life, but every time she did these things, she would feel a bit like a married woman, which brought back long-lasting memories.
"Liang Ji."
The maid put the candied fruits into the snack box.
The grand master was suffering from taking medicine, so she wanted to try pickling preserved fruits with medicinal materials.
Liang Wen picked up one and tasted it. She frowned and shook her head. She had to say that the taste was really strange.
However, once it was done, it could not be wasted, so she decided to send it to the Grand Master.
Because I often go to the Grand Master recently, I have become more and more familiar with the doctor. Not only do I learn medical skills from him, but I can also borrow a lot of books and bring back some small quantities of medicinal materials to make poison.
“Where is Qiuxi?”
Liang Huan took her maid to the Grand Master's Courtyard. She had been busy in the kitchen for a long time. At first, Qiu Xi helped, but when she turned around, she disappeared without a trace.
It’s all done and no one is around.
Liang Huan looked at the maid and was clueless. Thinking about it, she seemed to have been like this for a while.
Qiu Xi hurriedly caught up with her until she was almost at the door.
She lowered her head: "Liang Ji."
Liang Huan glanced at her and asked deliberately: "Gastrointestinal discomfort?"
Qiu Xi had a stern expression and answered vaguely.
Liang Huan laughed it off and turned around and entered the yard.
The grand master had taken medicine and was playing with several pots of orchids. He didn't even raise his eyelids when he saw her.
“What rare things did you bring today?”
Liang Huan smiled: "Try it."
After hearing this, the Grand Master immediately frowned and looked over: "Every time you bring something, it is only slightly better than that one."
As he spoke, he glanced at the medicine bowl that had not yet been removed on the table beside him, feeling disgusted with it.
Liang Huan just smiled and did not refute. No matter how delicious the food is, it will not taste good if you add those few medicinal ingredients.
She placed the small box containing candied fruits on the small table, and asked someone to take away the empty bowls and baskets.
"However, I do mean it."
Liang Huan smiled but did not answer. Lu Xiu brought her to see the Grand Master the next day, and his intention was not just out of etiquette.
She knew very well that if she wanted to be safe in the Lu family, nothing was more useful than a nod from the grand master.
Tai Shi loves orchids very much. He has various varieties, but his favorite is spring orchids.
“Look, I didn’t raise each of these flowers carefully, but not all of them can grow as I please.” The grand master put down the scissors in his hand, and a maid came to clean his hands.
Liang Huan didn't want to accept these words. The Lu family was a powerful person, but they didn't always have the same political views. Although she didn't have many contacts, she had heard a thing or two.
The Lu family is not a place for her to stay for a long time. As long as she can live well here, as for the other things, she does not want to participate, and it is not something she can participate in.
The person closely related to her in the Lu family is Lu Xiu, and the only person Lu Xiu can really rely on is the Grand Master.
The Grand Master asked people to move the orchids down, and then he sat down beside the table while Liang Huan cooked tea for him.
"It's been a while since you came to the mansion, are you still used to it?" The grand master took the cup and looked at her with a kind expression.
Liang Huan nodded: "Very good."
Why is it not considered good?
Liang Zhang is dead, Liang Cheng is in prison, and the female family members are living on the streets, no different from ordinary people. The so-called honor of the noble family has nothing to do with them. My sister has no Liang family to rely on, and the noble family is like a noble family. Hainan requires more calculation.
Among the entire Liang family, she must be the only one living the most comfortable life.
But this comfort was not enough to make her forget what she wanted to do.
The grand master finished his drink and Liang Huan added another glass.
"He is somewhat obsessed, but this obsession is neither good nor bad."
Liang Huan only looked down at the tea in the cup. This is Lu Xiu No doubt, but what does this obsession mean?
After sighing, he said again: "You have seen Miss Cao too, how about it?"
Liang Huan suddenly understood what he meant by what he said. Could it be that he didn't want Lu Xiu to get married? She couldn't help but frown, carefully recalling the time they spent together, and she didn't feel anything about him being jealous or domineering.
What's more, how can he not obey the emperor's golden rule of marriage?
Not to mention, no matter in the past life or in this life, they all want to get married. If it is superfluous, they are the ones.
Liang Huan raised his head and said very sincerely: "I've seen him twice, it's very good!"
The Grand Master was a little surprised.
Liang Huan was afraid that he would not believe it, so he added: "Gentle and generous, knowledgeable and polite, she is a well-deserved model of a lady. You can tell her at first sight -"
"But how did I hear that you are not on good terms with her? ?”
Before Liang Huan finished speaking, the Grand Master interrupted her.
"Grandpa, where did you start talking about this? We just met twice, how can there be any disharmony?"
The grand master looked at her and only said: "I am engaged to the Cao family to the Queen Mother. ”
There was no need to say this to her. By saying this, it was clear that she felt that she was not clear about her position.
Liang Huan put down the teapot in her hand and said sternly: "Miss Cao is the wife of Grand Sima, and I am just an order from the Lord to temporarily serve Grand Sima."
Concubine Ji It can be given away, bought and sold, and can be disposed of at will by the owner.
After Cao Luyun passed away, it was not impossible that he would want to sell her someday.
Liang Han has never forgotten his current status and situation.
At first, she would rather die than become Wang Su's concubine, but after some planning, she went round and round and ended up becoming Lu Xiu's concubine.
The Grand Master pondered for a while: "Xiang Cao's family has a good family tradition, and the girls he brings up may not be incompetent. He loves you so much, and you abide by your duty, you will not suffer losses in the future."
Liang Huan smiled, lowered his head and saluted: "Yes."
The grand master was sleepy, so Liang Huan decided to leave.
After leaving the Taishi's courtyard, Liang Huan walked in silence. In their eyes, she should be grateful for her life now.
In the past, I never understood why my family rejected all the people who came to propose marriage. Even though they were from the same mother, my sister could become Wen Houshi's wife, but she could only be a concubine. But now I understand, because her horoscope was used by others. It is regarded as ominous and one would never dare to use it to combine Geng Tie.
Looking back now, what Zhang said at the beginning was not unfounded. Perhaps in A Niang’s eyes, becoming Wang Su’s concubine was the best place that could be found for her...
< br>"Liang Ji?"
Seeing that she remained speechless, Qiu Xi asked in a low voice.
Liang Huan turned to look at her: "Find a good family for you and marry her."
Qiu Xi shook her head: "I am willing to stay with Liang Ji for the rest of my life."
Liang Huan smiled, who can stay with whom for the rest of his life?
