Chapter 296 Liang's Father
Originally, the purchase was handed over to the butler Dai Xing, who would definitely take care of it for Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng. However, Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng wanted to take the opportunity to accompany their teacher for a good stroll before school started, and also buy the items they would need for tomorrow's schooling.
The teachers and students walked around outside for a whole day, had dinner at a restaurant on Changle Street, and when they returned to Shigu Lane, night had already fallen.
As soon as Lu Tingfeng parked the carriage, the butler Dai Xing hurried forward and reported to Mr. Cai.
"Master, General Liang has been here for a long time."
Ye Changyan didn't react for a moment and wondered who this General Liang was.
Liang Jingcheng seemed to have a look of anticipation on his face, while Old Cai became serious. With the help of two disciples, he got off the carriage. It was rare to see Old Cai taking big steps towards his own yard.
Ye Changyan suddenly came to his senses. Could this General Liang be Liang Jingcheng's father?
Sure enough, when I entered the main hall, I saw a dignified middle-aged man standing with his hands behind his back, staring at the pot of spring orchids in bud on the tall wooden flower table.
However, an attendant beside the middle-aged man gave Ye Changyan a very strange feeling, but Ye Changyan couldn't tell exactly what was strange about it. If he had to find a word to describe it, it would be that he was a bit feminine.
"Daddy!"
Sure enough, this man was actually Liang Jingcheng's father. Liang Jingcheng stepped into the main hall and shouted to the middle-aged man who was standing in the middle of the hall, staring at Chunlan in a trance.
"Cheng'er, you're back?"
As soon as the middle-aged man turned around, Ye Changyan saw his face. He looked somewhat like Liang Jingcheng. Although he seemed to be over forty, he still looked heroic. Ye Changyan also felt that he seemed to exude the aura of a person who had been in a superior position for a long time, and an indescribable aura of kingship.
"General Liang."
"You're welcome, Mr. Cai."
Mr. Cai bowed respectfully to Liang Jingcheng's father, who just waved his hand indifferently.
Every move of Liang's father made Ye Changyan feel an invisible sense of oppression all over his body, forcing him to hold his breath.
"Uncle Liang."
Although Ye Changyan felt very uncomfortable with the invisible oppression emanating from the other party, he still politely and respectfully bowed to the other party.
"I heard that my son failed to keep the master's disciples close to him, so the master accepted a new disciple. Could it be you?"
Liang Jingcheng's father looked at Ye Changyan with eyes full of scrutiny. Ye Changyan was a little afraid to look him in the eye. He just nodded slightly and lowered his eyes unconsciously.
"Hahaha... you little brat, are you shy in front of this general? I heard that you are a great cook. You made Mr. Cai and my son so greedy that we stayed in that remote countryside of Wanshou County for a whole year!"
"Uncle, you are too kind. It is just some trivial skill."
"I heard that both of you brothers were admitted to the Imperial Academy. I originally took time out to come here today. First, I wanted to celebrate for you two, and second, I wanted to taste your cooking skills. But I never thought that I came at a bad time."
Liang Jingcheng looked calm on his face, but he was actually very excited. After hearing what his father said, he took over the conversation.
"Tomorrow is the first day for new students at the Imperial College. Chang Yan and I have both been admitted to the inner class. Today we are going to prepare some things for admission. If we had known that Daddy would come, we would definitely have returned earlier."
When Mr. Cai saw Liang Jingcheng's father smiled and nodded, he turned around and instructed Ye Changyan.
"Chang Yan, General Liang has been waiting here for a long time, he must be hungry. Go to the kitchen and prepare a few dishes to fill General Liang's stomach."
When Ye Changyan heard the master's instructions, he instantly felt relieved. He bowed respectfully and left.
Soon, four simple dishes and a soup were served on the table.
Mr. Cai also stepped out of the main hall and closed the door, leaving time and space to the father and son who had not seen each other for a long time.
After the hour of Xu, I heard the door of the main hall being opened.
Liang Jingcheng and his son walked out of the main hall. At this time in the past, Ye Changyan would have almost gone to bed, but today there were guests after all, and it was really impolite for him to go to bed so early.
Ye Changyan was playing chess quietly with Mr. Cai in the flower hall. When they heard the door being pushed open, they saw Mr. Cai get up and walk out of the flower hall. Ye Changyan also followed him out.
"Hahaha..., little kid, you really have some skills. You made a few simple dishes, but they were light and delicious, very much to my taste. It seems that I have to come at the right time next time. I must try those delicious dishes that Cheng'er mentioned to see if they are really as mouth-watering as Cheng'er said."
As soon as Liang Jingcheng's father finished speaking, his somewhat feminine follower brought out a wooden box from somewhere.
"There are two white bear skin cloaks in this box, one for you and one for Cheng'er. Congratulations on your admission to the Imperial College."
Liang Jingcheng stepped forward and took the wooden box from his father's follower, and then Liang Jingcheng's father turned and faced Mr. Cai.
"Mr. Cai, I'm sorry to bother you today. Goodbye!"
As he said this, he took a step and walked out of the yard.
Old Cai walked over to see them off, and Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng followed them to the gate of the courtyard. Soon, they saw Liang Jingcheng's father and his entourage disappear into the dark night.
"I didn't expect that you look so gentle, but your father looks so domineering and fierce."
Back in the yard, Ye Changyan whispered in Liang Jingcheng's ear.
Then I heard Mr. Cai, who was walking in front, clear his throat twice, and then he turned around and spoke to his two disciples.
"It's getting late. You two have to report to the Imperial College early tomorrow morning. Go back to your rooms and go to bed early."
Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng nodded to Mr. Cai, bowed to him, and went towards the bedroom.
Returning to his room, Ye Changyan picked up the white bear skin cloak he had just received from Liang Jingcheng, and looked at it carefully in the candlelight. It was so shiny and glossy. Ye Changyan was excited, thinking that this was a good thing.
In the previous life, buying and selling white bear fur was illegal. Unexpectedly, Liang Jingcheng's father was so generous that he actually gave himself, an outsider, a white bear fur cloak exactly the same as Liang Jingcheng. Ye Changyan kept reaching out to rub the bear fur, which felt so soft and smooth.
Ye Changyan lay on the bed, holding the white bear skin in his hands. He felt so warm that he soon fell into a sweet dream.
