Liang Jian had no expression. This man's hostility was unabashedly revealed from the moment he saw him. In this case, he did not need to give him a smile to please him.
"Aren't you two going to invite us in?" Liang Jian interjected. The man frowned and was about to speak, but the woman hurriedly pulled him and then smiled: "Look, when you are excited, you even forget your etiquette. Come on,
Eleven, take them in."
Eleven? What a strange name. Liang Jian looked up and saw that the young man who was standing on the left side of the door came over and led Liang Jian and the two inside.
Liang Jian followed him. The military smell on his body reminded him of Xiao Wu. He was also a soldier, and his name was also named with numbers.
Is it all a coincidence? Or is there any relationship between them?
Walking into the high-walled gate of Red Gate, Liang Jian felt as if he had traveled through time and was transported to another era in an instant. Inside, with pavilions, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and winding verandahs, he felt like he had arrived at the Duke of Rong's Mansion in the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions".
Liang Jian has seen some things about the world, but when he walked in here, he was still shocked. Such a house could not be afforded by ordinary wealthy people. Looking at Eleven leading them away, Liang Jian
In my mind, I had to speculate a little more about the Tang family.
Except for a few women walking in a hurry, no one else was seen in the yard in front. Eleven led them through two doors, and then Liang Jian saw people. There were not many people. After Liang Jian and the others came in,
, many people looked towards Liang Jian, but no one came over, they just watched from a distance. Eleven did not stop, and continued to lead them around these people, walked inside, and then
After walking through a veranda and passing through an arch, I saw a lake. The area of the lake was not small. On one side of the lake, there were many rockeries, and there was a pavilion on the top of the rockery. Liang Jian thought, standing on it, the scenery should not be rough.
Just as they were thinking about it, Shi Yi led them around to the back of the rockery and walked up the rockery.
I didn't see it when I was down there, but when I came up, I saw two people sitting in the pavilion. Seeing Shiyi coming up with Li Yuanli and Liang Jian, the two people who were talking immediately stopped.
One of these two people has white hair and is wearing a dark blue long coat. He is very thin but has bright eyes. The other person is dressed more casually, with a white linen shirt on his body and a pair of loose trousers on his neck.
There is a long bodhi tree hanging inside, and a jade pendant with the image of Guanyin hanging from the bottom. The jade pendant is very big, about the same size as Tang Li’s fist at home.
"Hey, my younger siblings are here!" The man stood up. After turning his eyes on Li Yuanli, he immediately moved to Liang Jianjian. He looked up and down, stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "You must be Liang Jian?"
When shaking hands with him, Liang Jian saw that three of the five fingers on his right hand had large gold rings, and his thumb had a jade ring.
Letting go of her hand, Li Yuanli introduced him: "This is your father's biological brother, that is, your uncle."
Liang Jian nodded without shouting. Li Yuanli didn't say anything either, and then looked at the gray-haired old man who was sitting motionless. Liang Jian knew who he was without Li Yuanli's introduction.
Just as Li Yuanli was about to introduce her, the old man waved to Liang Jian and said, "Come on, come here."
Liang Jian hesitated for a moment, then took two steps forward and stood in front of him. The old man raised his eyes, squinted slightly and looked at him for a while, then said: "It looks very much like Ning Guo when he was young!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and asked Li Yuanli: "Have you had a paternity test done?"
Li Yuanli's face was a little red, and she seemed to want to argue something, but the old man blocked her words when she spoke: "Let Ning Yi go and make arrangements later, it will be more convenient."
From the moment they got off the bus, the hostility of the Tang family had begun to show up in front of Liang Jian without concealment. For the sake of Li Yuanli, Liang Jian endured it all the way, but this does not mean that Liang Jian
Liang Jian can just let them knead him! When he heard about the paternity test, Liang Jian decided not to endure it anymore. He snorted and said, "Do I agree to do this paternity test?"
Liang Jian's words made Old Tang's eldest brother Tang Ningyi and the old man stunned for a moment. The old man frowned and showed an unhappy expression on his face. Tang Ning's expression was playful, with an attitude of not being afraid of trouble when watching a show.
"If you want to enter our Tang family, you must take a paternity test!" The old man said firmly and without any doubt.
Liang Jian glanced at Tang Ningyi and then at Li Yuanli, who was not daring to speak and had an ugly face next to him. He laughed and said, "When did I say I wanted to enter your Tang family? Which of your ears heard it?"
of?"
When the old man heard this, he was very angry. He looked at Li Yuanli and said to Liang Jian: "Since you don't want to enter the Tang family, what are you doing here?"
"Didn't you ask me to come?" Liang Jian said.
He didn't see that behind him, Li Yuanli's face was a little pale. When Tangning saw Li Yuanli's face, she smiled slightly. The old man also looked at Li Yuanli: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Li Yuanli stood there, feeling uneasy, with her head lowered, not daring to look at anyone. Liang Jian noticed something was wrong. What Li Yuanli told him at the beginning was that the old man was ill and there was not much time left. These might be excuses. Look again
Although this old man is thin, he has a rosy complexion and piercing eyes. He looks very angry even when quarreling, and he does not look like he is seriously ill or dying.
But it is obvious that Li Yuanli has been kind to him and his family for so many years since Nishang was born. Even if she has been abnormal recently, it is certain that she has deceived him in this matter, but in the end it is herself
Mother, Liang Jian still couldn't bear her being questioned here and being wronged like this. So he turned around, picked her up and left.
When the old man saw Liang Jian like this, he shouted to Eleven: "Stop them two."
When Liang Jian saw this posture, he turned to the old man and said, "What do you want to do?"
The old man said with a cold face: "Come when you want, and leave when you want? What do you think my Tang family is?"
"Then what do you want?" Liang Jian asked.
"Now that you are here, whether you want to enter the Tang family or not, the paternity test has been decided. If you have the blood of the Tang family, then even if you are useless, the descendants of my Tang family cannot be left outside. They will always have to
Recognize your ancestors and return to your clan." The old man said. As soon as he said these words, Tang Ningyi's expression changed, and so did Li Yuanli's. They both looked at the old man in surprise.
Tangning took a step forward, lowered her head and shouted softly: "Dad, didn't you mean..."
As soon as he started talking, the old man raised his hand to stop him: "Go and call Tang Yi."
Tang Ningyi's expression changed again. But he seemed to be very afraid of his father, so even though he was reluctant, he still went. After he left, Liang Jian said to the old man: "I said, I don't want to enter your Tang family.
My surname is Liang, and I will never change it in this life."
Mr. Tang stared at him and said: "As long as the descendants of my Tang family are alive, they can only be named Tang!"
The old man's words were already very threatening. Liang Jian immediately became vigilant. He didn't want to do a paternity test, but in this Tang Mansion, it was not easy to leave.
Just when Liang Jian was thinking about what to do, a girl's voice suddenly came up from under the rockery: "Grandpa, grandpa..."
Liang Jian heard this voice, which sounded familiar.
As soon as the old man heard this voice, the expression on his face immediately softened a lot. After a while, a girl in a white dress walked up. When she passed by, Liang Jian took one look and was stunned.
The girl walked up to the old man, took his hand and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, didn't you say you wanted to play chess with me today? I couldn't find anyone all morning. If I hadn't met Tang Ning down there just now, I wouldn't have been able to find him.
It’s your turn! You don’t mean what you say!”
The girl called the old man "grandpa" and called Tang Ningyi by her first name. Such strange names did not attract Liang Jian's attention. Liang Jian stared at the girl's face and was extremely shocked.
She is...Mongmeng?
Liang Jian shouted, turned around, looked at him, and exclaimed: "Liang Jian, why are you here?" But after the words fell, she blinked at Liang Jian.
Liang Jian was slightly startled, and his mind started to spin quickly. Both the two people at the door before and Tang Ning just now knew that he was Liang Jian. If Mengmeng was from this family, they would know that he would come today.
Not surprising. But why did she pretend to be surprised?
The old man was surprised when he heard Mengmeng calling out Liang Jian's name and asked, "Do you know him?"
Mengmeng nodded: "Yes, grandpa, you don't know, he is still a great benefactor to Mengmeng!"
"Oh, really?" The old man said as he glanced at Liang Jian, the distrust in his eyes was clearly evident, and he asked Mengmeng again: "What's going on? Let me tell you, grandpa!"
"It's a long story. If you don't play chess with me today, I decided not to tell you." Mengmeng said coquettishly.
"Then grandpa will play chess with you in the afternoon, can you tell grandpa?" the old man coaxed. Liang Jian looked at the warm grandfather-grandson relationship between the two of them, and suddenly felt some strange emotions in his heart.
When Liang Jian was very young, his grandparents in the Liang family passed away one after another, so he could not find this kind of tender scene in his memory. When he was a child, he often envied those children who were picked up and dropped off by their grandparents when they went to and from school. However,
The Liang family's parents loved him very much. Although he was envious, it was just envy.
While Liang Jian was lost in thought, Mengmeng suddenly asked the old man: "Grandpa, why is Liang Jian here?"
"Oh, he is a distant nephew of your second aunt, and he came here to play with you." The old man replied. When Liang Jian heard this, his mind suddenly lit up, and he said: "Sorry, I remembered that I have something else to do.
, I’ll take my leave first.”
After saying that, he was about to leave. When he turned around, Eleven was still blocking him. Mengmeng helped him in time: "Eleven, I'm leaving, why are you stopping me?"
Eleven looked at the old man, who hesitated and nodded. Liang Jian walked away. After taking two steps, he found that Liyuan didn't follow him. Liang Jian turned around and shouted to Li Yuanli: "Aunt, won't you go back with me?"
Li Yuanli was stunned for a few seconds before she realized that Liang Jian was calling her. She immediately nodded and said, "I'm leaving too." After that, she followed him.
