After waiting in the concierge for a while, a man about the same age as his father came in. When he saw Che Mingde, he immediately smiled and said, "My dear nephew, Mingde, I received a letter from your father half a month ago saying that you are coming."
"You are Uncle Qing'an, my nephew is so polite." Che Mingde immediately saluted the visitor.
When giving the gift, Che Mingde was a little surprised because this was Liang Changmao's eldest son.
In fact, Liang Changmao is not very old either. He just turned fifty last year, and his fiftieth birthday was held in the capital after he returned to the capital to take over as Taiwei. Although his father could not come over, he still sent congratulatory gifts, and Che Mingde also agreed. I heard that during the birthday banquet of Lieutenant Liang, His Majesty not only attended the event in person, but also asked the Ninth Prince, who was only thirteen years old, to worship Liang Changmao as his teacher on the spot, giving him enough honor. Now in the entire Jingguo, Liang Changmao is already the most powerful person in the court. The leader, even because of this birthday banquet, it was reported that His Majesty was dissatisfied with the Crown Prince and was very partial to the young and intelligent Ninth Prince, so it was very likely that he would change to the East Palace.
In fact, after this year, the situation in the capital has indeed changed somewhat. Although the court is still very harmonious, underneath it has become the princelings and the nine princes.
For Che Mingde, his father has long been labeled as Liang Changmao. Even in the north, it is difficult not to be considered as someone on Liang Taiwei's side. Che Mingde doesn't know whether this situation is good or bad. However, in the decades since Jingguo was founded, it would have been extremely difficult to rise to prominence without a backer. Che Mingde sometimes wondered whether it was right for him to follow his father into an official career. Perhaps he would choose to be an outsider like his teacher.
"Father went to Wolong Mountain in Suzhou with the Ninth Prince. He won't be back for a few days. Before leaving, he repeatedly told him to entertain you well." Liang Qing'an said with a smile.
"I don't dare. How dare my nephew be so favored by Lord Taiwei?" Che Mingde said flattered.
"Aren't we all one family?" Liang Qingan said with a smile.
To say that Liang Changmao is very optimistic about him, Che Mingde thinks this is reasonable, but this person is the same, which makes Che Mingde a little strange. After all, he and his father do have a good relationship, but they are not so in love with each other. This made Che Mingde feel that he should pay more attention.
Follow him to a separate small courtyard, which is self-contained and full of flowers. As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the faint fragrance of flowers, and there are lights in the small courtyard. It seems that it has been prepared and waiting for him to come. .
"Young Master." A young man who looked to be in his twenties also ran over with a smile on his face.
Liang Qing'an also followed: "Father told me that you don't need any bodyguards to protect you. Sending someone to protect you would be a hindrance, so I won't find one for you. But you always need an errand boy. This is Liang Duofu, this is Liang Fu." My youngest son is a clever man, so if you have anything to do, just ask him."
"Mr. Mingde, since my father came back with the master, I have often heard him mention you and say that you are a young and talented person. It is indeed the case today." Liang Duofu was indeed very clever, and he greeted him with compliments.
Che Mingde also saw some similarities between him and Liang Fu, but his clever appearance was very different from Liang Fu's honesty.
"By the way, I almost forgot, Mingde, did you have dinner?" Liang Qing'an asked.
"I have already used it. I came all the way today. It is also my first time for my nephew to come to the capital, so he had an early meal before going out to find a place." Che Mingde replied with a smile.
Liang Qing'an wanted to say something more, but at this time another middle-aged man who was somewhat similar to Liang Duofu came over and whispered a few words into Liang Qing'an's ear.
After hearing this, Liang Qing'an frowned slightly, but soon relaxed and said: "Mingde, you have worked hard all the way. Go to bed early today. If you need anything, just ask Duofu."
"Okay." Che Mingde agreed with a smile.
Liang Duofu also followed: "Master Mingde, please rest inside first. I have asked the maid to boil water for you. Take a bath first, and then have a comfortable sleep."
Che Mingde listened to his words and walked into the house, while on the other side, Liang Qingan's face became even more ugly after walking out of the courtyard.
He asked the middle-aged man next to him: "Tian Fu, did you really see that Zhou Xiaoyi sneaking in?"
"Young Master, if I hadn't seen him with my own eyes, how could I have dared to report it?" the middle-aged man said.
"I'm so angry with this unfilial daughter. Zhou Guangwu openly slandered his father in the court last month. Now this girl is hanging out with his son. Do you want the face of the Taiwei Mansion to be spread?" Liang Qing'an was furious. road.
"Young Master, Miss Yun..."
"She dared to cause trouble when my father was not in the house. I really thought I didn't dare to teach her a lesson." Liang Qing'an said and his steps became faster.
When I arrived at my daughter's courtyard, before I even walked in, I heard the commotion inside, with men and women laughing wildly.
"Catch her." Liang Qingan ordered.
Liang Tianfu knew that the eldest son had asked him to catch Wangfeng's broken color screen, but Liang Tianfu was not young after all. As soon as he passed by, the little girl had already escaped into the house.
Liang Qing'an ignored her and rushed in. He heard the little girl shouting right inside: "Miss, your father is here."
Liang Qing'an walked into the room. There were more than twenty men and women here. The youngest was fourteen or fifteen years old and the oldest was in his early twenties. They were all young ladies from various families in the capital. His daughter Liang Baiyun was sitting in the middle. The host, at this time, was holding a large glass of wine.
Seeing his father coming over, Liang Baiyun didn't panic at all. He put down his wine glass and asked with a smile on his face: "Dad, why are you here?"
Liang Qing'an did not look at him, but stared at a young man in his twenties not far away, and asked: "Mr. Zhou, you are not welcome here."
Zhou Xiaoyi stood up with a smile, saluted Liang Qing'an and said, "Mr. Liang, I don't know why you want to drive people away? And only me?"
Zhou Xiaoyi's bold rhetorical question immediately made many young ladies around him unable to help but want to watch the show.
Liang Qing'an also felt that he was a little reckless at this time. His father always said that he could not hold his breath and was not a person who did big things. Now he was really stunned.
Seeing that his father seemed a little unable to get off the stage, Liang Baiyun took the initiative to come to the rescue and said: "Dad, please go out. We are all young people making friends through literature. You are already old, what are you doing here? And in your own home, don't you
