Chapter 224 Liang Ming
Chapter 224 Liang Ming
Lin Xiazhi withdrew his gaze. From a servant, he could see the Liang family's family style. It was really unpleasant. No wonder Ah Mo didn't like this family.
When following the servants of the Liang family who came to pick them up, Lin Xiazhi seemed to have heard the concierge say that the Lin family is just a mud leg in the country, who made money by eating a few foods, and was not on the stage.
It was Lin Xiazhi who heard the concierge's words with his sharp ears, and Cheng Fulang certainly couldn't hear him walking in front.
Lin Xiazhi felt a little strange, he had no contact with Liang's family at all, why this concierge gave him a feeling of rejection.
It has nothing to do with them how the Lin family made their fortune. Besides, he is now a member of the Cheng family. In the eyes of people in this era, he has little relationship with the Lin family. Obviously, what the concierge said is very interesting.
Continuing to walk in, Lin Xiazhi couldn't help complaining in his heart as the mansion was decorated with magnificent decorations that would blind the eyes.
"People who come from the countryside have never seen the world, and their eyes are straightened when they see big houses." A man dressed as a brother suddenly walked out from the corner, with a look of contempt on his face.
After Cheng Fulang and Lin Xiazhi heard this sentence, their faces darkened. The man just now obviously said it to Lin Xiazhi.
Judging by his attire, he should be Liang Ming, the unmarried younger brother of the Liang family. Lin Xiazhi thought he had no enmity with the Liang family, and today he followed Cheng Fulang to give the New Year's gift.
In the end, when he first entered Liang's house, he looked at the concierge's face, and then Liang Ming made irresponsible remarks after entering Liang's house. Liang's house was really interesting.
If the tiger doesn't show off its power, it really doesn't matter if Lin Xiazhi is a sick cat.
With a sneer, Lin Xiazhi pointed to the beams and decorations and said to Liang Ming: "Oh, it's true that the country people have never seen such a rich, beautiful, dignified, and royal house. It's just that the plain gold and silver are covered with ordinary mahogany. It doesn't feel too good. There seems to be some black spots on this red agate stone, which has dropped the value of the stone by several levels, I don't know..."
"you!"
"This is Mr. Liang, right? The clothes you are wearing are made of Shu brocade? But the pattern on it is a common pattern of Su brocade. I'm afraid it was not a fake product that was deceived by someone?" Lin Xiazhi looked at Liang Ming, thinking With a worried face, "The price of authentic Shu brocade is not low. If it is a fake, then you can't be sure. I'm afraid Mr. Liang was cheated, so you have to be careful."
Thanks to being with Cheng Fulang to tidy up the warehouse some time ago, Lin Xiazhi's vision was sharpened at once, and he found a lot of things to complain about in Liang Zhai and Liang Ming who suddenly appeared.
Cheng Fulang suppressed a smile and glanced at Lin Xiazhi appreciatively.
What he said just now was good. When two juniors confront each other, he will be said to be bullying the younger when he stands up. Lin Xiazhi will be fine if he handles it like this. It is time to teach Liang Ming, who can't talk but brains.
"I tell you--"
"Brother Ming, don't be unreasonable." A man dressed as a husband hurried over from behind, and grabbed Liang Ming who wanted to argue with Lin Xiazhi.
"Liang Fulang, is this how your Liang family treats people?" Cheng Fulang was inconvenient to Liang Ming, but it didn't matter to Liang Fulang.
"Cheng Fulang, I'm sorry, my husband and I spoiled this child, and we didn't think through our words." Liang Fulang's face was not very good-looking, and he didn't know whether it was because of his son's embarrassing behavior or because of Cheng Fulang's ruthless words.
Liang Fulang grabbed Liang Ming's wrist and said to him, "Apologize to Cheng Fulang and Cheng Shaofu!"
Liang Ming shook his head and was unwilling, while Liang Fulang was full of helplessness.
Seeing the stalemate in the scene, Lin Xiazhi felt a little embarrassed, so he took the initiative to speak to relieve it: "Liang Fulang, brother Ming is young, just teach him slowly in the future."
"You don't need to pretend to be kind!" Liang Ming glared at Lin Xiazhi, quickly shook off Liang Fulang's hand, and ran in another direction.
After this incident, Cheng Fulang and Lin Xiazhi were quite embarrassed in Liang's house, so they put down their annual ceremony and left.
On the way back, Lin Xiazhi suddenly remembered that this brother Ming seemed to be the one who glared at him with dissatisfied eyes at the wedding banquet between him and Cheng Wenliu.
Lin Xiazhi's heart was sour, probably another ignorant little brother who admired Cheng Wenliu.
There was a brother Huang before, who made jokes one after another, and now there is a brother Ming. I hope that Liang Fulang, who seems to be sensible, can control Liang Ming.
It's not easy to ask Cheng Fulang about Liang Ming. Lin Xiazhi quietly found Cheng Luanjing after returning to Cheng Zhai: "Brother Jing, do you have any impression of Brother Ming from the Liang family?"
Cheng Luanjing was thinking hard about the plot of the White Snake, when he suddenly heard Lin Xiazhi's question and didn't respond, he was stunned.
Cheng Luanjing calmed down after thinking for a while, frowned and said, "Brother, are you talking about the Liang family who decorated their home like a palace? I would occasionally walk around during the Chinese New Year. Ah, I don't like going to their place. I I'm not very familiar with their brother, but I vaguely remember that brother seems to be a bit overbearing."
"Then did he ever mean to your second brother?" Lin Xiazhi asked directly, too lazy to beat around the bush.
Cheng Luanjing said with some uncertainty: "Probably not. He has not seen my second brother more than five times in total. How could he have any thoughts about my second brother?"
"I hope so." Lin Xiazhi didn't express his guess about Liang Ming.
In case it is really like what Cheng Luanjing said, brother Ming has no idea about Cheng Wenliu, his behavior today is just due to his character of stepping on the high and flattering the low. alright.
"You don't go out very much recently, and several husbands are asking you, saying that Ah Ma married a son and husband does not have a son." Lin Xiazhi diverted the topic elsewhere.
Cheng Luanjing didn't continue to think about Liang Ming. He followed Lin Xiazhi's words and talked about his new script, saying that he is busy writing scripts now and wanted to write more before the year before. .
When Cheng Luanjing wrote the first storybook "Zhigeer", he had no experience. Every time he wrote a chapter, he wanted to ask someone to help him read it. One person has seen the entire manuscript.
Lin Xiazhi just wanted to change the topic for a chat. He learned that Cheng Luanjing's new storybook was written relatively smoothly, and it was estimated that the book would be finished and published in February next year. By the way, he encouraged him a few words, and then left Cheng Luanjing's small courtyard.
After returning from the Liang family, there was only the last family left in the Cheng family this year who hadn't given last year's gift, and that was their new in-laws this year: the Lin family.
Since the two families are in-laws, naturally they will not be like other families, only the husband-in-law will be present to give the New Year's gift. After the date is set, all the Cheng family will go there together.
Cheng Adie, Cheng Fulang, Cheng Luanjing, Cheng Wenliu, and Lin Xiazhi sat in a carriage, followed by two carriages, which were full of New Year's gifts, which were heavier than the return ceremony back then.
This was the first time Cheng Adie and Cheng Fulang came to Lin's family after they became in-laws, and they attached great importance to this visit.
Lin Xiazhi will follow them back to Liaotai County. This year will definitely not be able to catch up with the day when he returns to Mo’s house in the second year of junior high school. It is not good for the new brother to go back to Mo’s house according to the custom in the first year, so they will To give generous gifts to the Lin family years ago is considered an apology.
Li Xiu and Lin Huzi had learned about this from Lin Xiazhi a long time ago, so they also attached great importance to today, and started cleaning the house a few days ago.
When the day came, the kitchen had been preparing for food since dawn, and the smoke from the chimney had not been extinguished.
At about the same time, the Cheng family's carriage appeared on the road of Lin's family village. The servants who had been waiting outside saw them, and hurried into the house to call the master: "Fu Lang, the second young master and the others are back."
Li Xiu, who was sitting in the room teasing the children, stood up suddenly: "Go and tell Yu Sheng and the master and the young master."
After finishing speaking, Li Xiu looked around the main room, and after confirming that there was no problem, he quickly walked towards the gate.
Yang Yusheng, who was preparing meals in the kitchen, also came out of the kitchen and walked towards the gate after receiving the notice. Lin Huzi, Lin Chengzu, and Lin Chengzong who were busy in the backyard hurried over.
Except for the two little milk babies in the family who are not yet one year old, the rest of the Lin family immediately put down what they were doing and went to the gate to welcome their in-laws.
The carriage was stable, and Lin Xiazhi and Cheng Wenliu got off the carriage first.
Lin Xiazhi looked at his family members whom he hadn't seen for a while, and together with Cheng Wenliu, he called them with a smile on his face: "Daddy, Ahmo, Big Brother, Big Brother, Third Brother."
The Lin family also responded to them.
"Brother Xia, Wen Liu."
"Second brother, brother-in-law."
Cheng Adie and Cheng Fulang followed closely behind, Cheng Luanjing was last, and both stood at the door to exchange greetings.
"Everyone, get in the house quickly. It's very cold outside. There is a charcoal basin in the house to warm you up." Li Xiu, as the husband of the Lin family, invited everyone into the house.
This is not the first time the two families have met, they walked in after talking and laughing together.
Because there is a baby at home, Li Xiu burns silver charcoal in the house. This kind of charcoal has no smoke or unpleasant smell when burned, so it is very suitable for burning in the house.
It is expensive, almost four times that of ordinary charcoal, which means that the Lin family earns a lot of money every day. For the sake of the children, Li Xiucai is willing to use silver charcoal to keep warm every day.
"Every time I come to your house, I always feel very bright and warm. A chair like this sofa is very comfortable to sit on in winter." Cheng Fulang sat down in the Lin family's hall, drinking hot water and eating on the Lin family's table. Little snacks, said with a smile on his face.
"These things at home were made when Brother Xia was here. He likes to make these irrelevant things, and they are indeed quite useful." Li Xiu praised her child shyly.
"Ah, do you want to replace the chair at home with a sofa like this?" Lin Xiazhi leaned on the sofa, feeling that the skeleton that had been shaken loose in the carriage just now had finally rested, and felt so comfortable that he wanted to spread his whole body out. On the sofa.
There are too many things to do in Cheng's house recently, and he spends every day in the small study, and has not thought of the sofa.
In addition to sofas, cotton pillows and pillows can also be made.
