Chapter 58: The villain also has a childhood sweetheart?
The silence in the room lasted for a few breaths, and finally the burly man laughed awkwardly and spoke up to explain:
"Hahaha, Qin'er and I haven't been back to Beijing for three years. It's normal that my nephew Changtian didn't recognize me for a while."
"Haha! That's right, after all, girls change a lot when they grow up!"
Wei Xianzhi laughed along and winked at Wei Changtian crazily.
Wei Changtian was not vague either. He immediately understood what was going on and showed an extremely surprised expression. He blurted out to the woman, "Are you Qin'er?!"
The woman tilted her head slightly and glanced at Wei Changtian with her big peach blossom eyes: "Brother Changtian, did you just remember it?"
"No, Qin'er! You can't blame me for not recognizing you!"
Wei Changtian shouted without hesitation: "Why are you so good-looking now? Compared to when you left a few years ago, you are like a different person!"
"So I wasn't good-looking before?"
The woman still squinted her eyes, but she didn't look angry anymore.
Sure enough, it’s never wrong to praise a woman’s beauty.
Wei Changtian waved his hand quickly: "Of course it looked good before, but it's just better now."
"snort!"
The woman hummed and looked at Wei Changtian with emotion: "Brother Changtian, you are different now."
"Really? What's the difference?"
"You weren't so glib before."
"Hahaha, I'm not being glib. What I say is all from the heart."
Wei Changtian laughed guiltily, but the woman didn't say anything, just stared at him with her big eyes.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time. Just when Wei Changtian felt a little scared and almost thought that he had been exposed, the woman named Qin'er finally lowered her eyes and spat softly:
"I don't believe it..."
…
After a long separation, there is naturally a lot to talk about.
After that, Wei Xianzhi and the other two kept reminiscing about the past, and Wei Changtian could only sit there and listen, at most he would occasionally respond with a few nonsense words like "Yeah!", "I miss it so much!", "Of course I remember" and so on.
But after listening for a long time, he roughly figured out the identities of these two people.
The man's name is Liang Zhen and the woman's name is Liang Qin.
The Liang family was descended from a military family, and they were old friends of the Wei family, having been interacting with each other for several generations.
Because the two families were familiar with each other, and the former owner and Liang Qin were of similar age, the two gradually became friends.
It's not the kind of messing around that's meant by fooling around, but the kind of messing around that's meant by society.
Except for not being able to go to brothels together, the two of them basically colluded with each other and did all kinds of bad things. They were like the "male and female evil spirits" in the capital at that time.
It’s a pity that Liang Zhen was appointed as the general of Shuzhou three years ago, and took Liang Qin with him, and the male and female evil spirits were disbanded since then.
Border guards have to return to Beijing to report on their work once every three years, and this time the two of them came back for this reason.
"Brother Liang, when do you plan to see the emperor?"
Wei Xianzhi poured Liang Zhen a cup of tea and said with a smile, "If it doesn't work, talk to the emperor and transfer him back to the capital. There is no war to fight these days, and the most you can do in Shuzhou is to suppress bandits and kill monsters. What's the point?"
“Oh, I want to come back.
Liang Zhen sighed and said, "But there are no vacancies for real jobs in the capital right now. It would be better for me to stay in Shuzhou and be a mountain king. That's pretty good."
"Haha, if you want to be the king of your mountain, then be it. I won't persuade you."
Wei Xianzhi laughed twice, glanced at Liang Qin and then said, "But I can't let you delay Qin'er's important matter."
"Although Shuzhou is a wealthy place, most of the people there are landlords and wealthy businessmen, and there are few famous families. No, you should leave Qin'er in the capital this time. I will find her a suitable husband for you!"
"Oh, it would be great if she was willing to stay. This girl really likes Shuzhou now."
Liang Zhen continued to sigh, but his eyes were looking towards Wei Changtian: "As for the matter of getting married... there's no rush. We still have a month before we return to Shuzhou. By then, it may be settled."
"Hahaha, that's true!"
Wei Xianzhi clapped his hands and smiled, his meaning was self-evident.
The four of them chatted for a while and agreed to have dinner together at night. Then Liang Zhen and his daughter said goodbye and left.
Only then did Wei Changtian breathe a sigh of relief and finally talked to Wei Xianzhi about business.
"Dad, Xiao Feng has hooked up with the Liu family."
"What? Tell me in detail..."
“…”
In order to attract Wei Xianzhi's attention, Wei Changtian basically revealed all the information this time.
However, there is no mention that Yang Liushi is a fox demon.
As for how he conquered Yang Liushi and made him work for him...it was naturally because of his handsome appearance and amazing poetic talent.
After a conversation, Wei Xianzhi indeed took this matter very seriously, and immediately agreed to send someone from Xuan Jingsi, and even personally help Wei Changtian complete his plan to kill Xiao Feng.
As for the Liu family, since they don't know the other party's specific actions yet, all they can do for the time being is to be vigilant and prepare for a counterattack.
…
The dinner between the Wei and Liang families was held at the Wei Mansion.
Since Wei Changtian had sought out Wang Er to review some "relevant knowledge" in the afternoon, he was able to speak a few words during the meal, instead of being clueless as he was during the day.
The atmosphere was pleasant, the food was delicious, and Liang Zhen’s wife was very big...this was all he felt about the meal.
Apart from that, there was also the implicit intention of the two elders to bring the two together.
To be honest, Wei Changtian was not very interested in this.
Liang Qin is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful women among ordinary women, but if compared with the woman he has now... let alone Yang Liushi, even Lu Jingyao and Xu Qingwan can't compare to her.
What's more, she never appears in the novel at all.
After dinner, everyone moved to the main hall to drink tea and chat, talking about the "good memories" of the two families helping each other.
After listening for a while, Wei Changtian felt so sleepy that he kept pouring tea into his mouth.
Liang Qin, who was sitting next to him, hesitated for a while, and suddenly asked softly: "Brother Changtian, can you accompany me for a walk?"
"Oh, okay."
After all, they were childhood sweethearts, so Wei Changtian did not refuse.
The two men greeted each other and walked out of the room, strolling around the Wei Mansion side by side.
The night sky was not that dark. The moonlight and starlight shone white through the gaps in the leaves, which reminded Wei Changtian of a poem: The moon is brighter in the gaps of the phoenix tree.
Of course, he wasn't so crazy as to recite the poem to show off, he just walked slowly.
Liang Qin followed behind with her head down and no one knew what was going on in her mind.
The two walked like this for a while until they stopped by a small lake.
"Let's sit down for a while."
Liang Qin turned her head and asked, and when she saw Wei Changtian nod, she wiped the dew on a piece of bluestone with her long sleeves, and then sat down on it.
Wei Changtian first sat down beside them, but then felt uncomfortable, so he just lay down on the stone.
The lake behind her rippled slightly. Liang Qin looked at the man lying beside her but at a distance, and suddenly said, "Brother Changtian, my parents seem to want to marry me to you."
"Yeah, I see." Wei Changtian responded indifferently.
"So... do you want to marry me?"
Normally, if a woman asks a man this question, the subtext should be - Marry me soon!
But now Wei Changtian heard another meaning.
He was stunned for a moment, then asked directly: "Do you want to get married?"
“…”
Liang Qin didn't say anything, nor did she hesitate.
She just looked at Wei Changtian in the moonlight and shook her head gently.
