Hello Chang'an Chapter 121

Chapter 121: Imitation

"Everyone knows about Mrs. Chang's behavior these days!" Xie's every word seemed to be squeezed out through clenched teeth: "I am in charge of a junior in the district who behaves inappropriately and hurts women's morals. , Who else do you need instructions from?"

The servant woman's face turned pale.

Madam, is this...recognizing it? !

The gazes of those female relatives once again caused a huge change, causing the figure of the servant woman who had long been accustomed to being respected and treated with courtesy to be shaky for a moment.

Mrs. Jie trembled and closed her eyes.

It's not that she doesn't know the consequences of admitting this matter, but the situation is now decided, and the other party is holding on to it step by step. In order to prevent the matter from spreading further... she can only grit her teeth and admit it all.

But the position she has held over the years and the endless unwillingness in her heart make it impossible for her to lower her head and admit her mistake.

When she opened her eyes again, she looked at the girl who was sitting leisurely in the chair, and no longer concealed the cold disgust in her eyes: "You must know whether the painting today is real or fake, even if it is just a secret as you said. Giving aid is also an act of misconduct that crosses the line!”

"You are rebellious and have repeatedly hurt others. You have no womanly manners and do not follow women's morals. This is obvious to all!"

"It is offensive to use a woman as a woman to feast on the nobles, to please the public, and to be offensive..."

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, a tea cup flew straight towards Jie's face and hit her on the forehead, interrupting her voice and making the servant girl scream.

"Who is out there talking nonsense and slandering Mrs. Chang?" A drunken scold rang out: "You are just talking nonsense about sesame seeds and millet...Now that women have become saints, why don't you go to the Manna Hall to discipline us female saints!"

Everyone was suddenly startled.

Cui Lang staggered over and pointed at Jie with one hand on his hips and the other: "Looking at the person's appearance, he speaks in a high-sounding way... In the end, he just dares to chase people and bully the little girl! What kind of skill is that!"

Yigu's expression trembled, it was over, he...shouldn't he forcefully slap cold water on him to wake him up?

Xie's forehead was smashed and the skin was broken, and tea leaves were hung in front of his face. He was shaking with anger and asked aggressively: "Who dares to be so shameless!"

The boy in pink clothes drunkenly pointed at his nose: "I, Cui Lang! The sixth of the lineage descendants of Cui family in Qinghe!"

"Cui Er is my father. If you are dissatisfied, go to him to ask for an explanation!"

Compared to his pedantic tone and not taking others seriously, his father was not afraid of anyone!

Cui Lang's body swayed even more, so he simply sat down, turned around and hugged the legs of the young man beside him, raised his head and laughed "Hey", grinning his big white teeth in a drunken look: "Eldest brother...I Isn't it a good idea to bring trouble to the east?”

Yipot looked terrified, fearing that the eldest husband would kick his own husband out of Dengtai Tower!

Cui Jing did not kick anyone, but said calmly to everyone who looked over: "My brother is drunk and makes everyone laugh."

Seeing that the young man didn't show any apology to her, and only mentioned drunkenness, not even the word "disobedient", Xie's face was ashen, but she couldn't say anything to accuse him.

She can ignore ordinary noble families, but the Cui family is different...

"What if this tea cup flies out of my hand, what will happen to Mrs. Jie?" Chang Sui Ning asked quietly: "If I and other girls do this, I am afraid that Mrs. Jie will be demoted to the 18th level of **** for eternity. Isn't it necessary to be born again?”

Yao Xia: "That's right, the so-called rules and education are only used to restrain and bully weak women. Is this the way Mrs. Jie is to be a teacher?"

Jie's lips trembled, and when she was about to say more, she was cut off by the girl sitting in the chair: "Mrs. Let's talk about it. Although it reveals absurd self-righteousness, at least I respect you for being aboveboard—”

"Now that the villain's behavior has been exposed, it seems superfluous to even use it to show respect."

The vague feeling of looking down on the girl's body and tone made Xie's eyes red with anger, "Who do you think you are and how dare you talk to me like this!"

"I never thought who I was, it was Mrs. Jie who took me too seriously." Chang Suining looked at the woman who had lost her composure and said, "Just because what I do is contrary to you, you regard me as someone A savage beast, as if my existence has challenged your authority—"

"You may not know who Zhou Ding is, how he died, and what his relationship with me is, and you may not care at all. You just want to use the tried-and-tested knife of Mingjie to get rid of me quickly. This is The sword that took advantage of the right time, place and people should be useful, but you didn't expect that something unexpected happened this time. "

And the reason why he 'didn't expect it' is just like the tiger in the painting. He has lived in the secluded forest for a long time, and a leaf has blinded his eyesight. Over time, he only has self-righteous arrogance.

In her impression, Mr. Xie was not a very smart person.

But in the past, although he was not very smart, he was very good at seeking survival, and he knew how to support the superior and suppress the inferior. He was cautious all the way in the palace.

Xie's family is very lucky. It is rare for him to have the status and prestige he has today despite his humble background.

But unfortunately, not everyone gets smarter as they live. If people get used to being sought after, they will slowly forget how they lived before they were no longer sought after.

Once you get used to acting only according to your likes and dislikes, you will lose that caution.

And after tonight, she will need to pay the price for her arrogance.

"You..." Veins were bulging and pulsating on Jie's forehead. She suddenly raised her finger and pointed at Chang Suining, but found that she could no longer formulate a strong rebuttal.

The majestic oppression she tried her best to release could not shake the girl in the chair at all.

"Today is my private banquet here. Madam Xie came here uninvited. Since the table is full, I have made an exception by allowing Madam in. It can be regarded as respecting Madam and her reputation as a teacher of women. But what Madam has done is not worthy of it." As a female teacher, I don't know how to be a guest at all, so I can only take back this three points of respect.”

Chang Suining looked at Mrs. Xie and said, "Mrs. Xie can leave on her own now."

Jie Shi's extended fingers trembled.

This is expelling her!

There was a buzz in her head, and she felt dizzy for a while. She was swayed and was supported by the maid.

Seeing those driving away glances, the red-faced maid gritted her teeth, supported her wife, and turned to leave.

Mingluo raised his eyes and looked at the master and servant who left in embarrassment.

"Ning Ning... why did you let them go like this? It would be too easy for them!" Chang Sui'an asked her sister in a low voice.

Chang Suining handed the tea cup to Xi'er, stood up and said, "What she committed has not been explicitly written into the law, and she has a royal decree. Without the approval of a saint, it is a trivial matter for all yamen. She can't be held accountable.”

Changsui An is full of dissatisfaction.

Yao Xia also felt it was unfair, but still comforted Chang Suining: "Sister Chang, calm down. Although the law cannot punish her, what happened today is obvious to all, and justice is in the hearts of the people!"

Chang Suining looked at the eyes of everyone who also felt unfair.

Today's matter has developed to this point, and it is no longer a trivial matter -

Therefore, accordingly, justice will not only exist in the human heart.

Expelling Jie Shi from here does not mean that the matter has been revealed.

Mingluo looked away from the direction where Jie's master and servant left, and then looked at the girl who was quickly surrounded by people.

To disgrace him, expel him in public, and break what he cares about most... This is the greatest humiliation for Jie Shi.

And the words of this wife of the Chang family just now, every word of which punishes Jie's face without mentioning her face, are also creating public opinion - these women and men of letters cannot withstand the incitement of these words.

This Xie family is very unlucky today.

And the luck will only get worse after that.

Chang Suining's ears were noisy at this time.

"This Mrs. Jie really lives up to her reputation and actually resorts to such despicable means!"

Wang held the girl's hand with lingering fear: "I have been feeling a little uneasy these past two days. I should have been here. This time, I have turned the bad luck into good luck. I have to go to the temple to pay my respects when I go back..."

Qiao Yumian had already blushed in anger before, but now she said thankfully: "Fortunately, that painting is fake, otherwise wouldn't she have succeeded?"

"Ms. Chang has been wronged."

There were mixed sounds of comfort, dissatisfaction, emotion, and thankfulness.

"That girl...come here!" Amidst the noise, an old voice suddenly sounded, which was very alarming.

Chang Suining looked around and saw Mrs. Chu standing by the desk, waving to her. Chang Suining knew something about it and walked over.

Mrs. Chu then looked at the painting attentively.

The old servant beside him sighed helplessly - at first he asked the master to get up and look at the paintings, but the master refused. The Taifu was sleeping while others were looking at the paintings. When everyone else went to listen to the excitement, the Taifu kept staring at the paintings. What should he do if he became more and more rebellious as he got older.

"Let's go...Chu Shangshu is going to comment on Mrs. Chang's paintings!"

A group of literati followed.

Feeling the crowd surging in front of her, Qiao Yumian subconsciously took a step back even though she was supported by the female servant. As she stepped back, she stepped on something, and a scream rang out, shocking her and quickly lifting her feet away.

"Who stepped on my foot!" Cui Lang, who was lying on the ground hugging his elder brother, complained with his eyes closed.

Qiao Yumian heard his voice and was inexplicably relieved - it was Cui Liulang, it's okay.

Cui Jing picked up the man who had been refusing to let go for a long time and threw him into a pot: "Take it back to the house to sober up."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Yipot responded repeatedly.

The literati who gathered around to wait for Master Chu to comment on the painting were asked a question first.

"What is the Five Elements in your painting?"

Taifu Chu pointed at the painting and asked the girl who was coming.

"Yes, the master has good eyesight."

After hearing this conversation, everyone hurriedly looked at the painting again.

Sure enough, I quickly saw the Five Elements hidden in it -

"The mountains are green and the trees are green, and if you see a fierce tiger, you will definitely light a fire..."

"There is a stream, and the five black elements are water. The girl in this painting is dressed in ink... The whole mountain and forest can be seen as dark and ink-colored, so it must be able to overcome this fire!"

"It turns out that the answer Mrs. Chang just said was already in the painting, and that's what she meant!"

The answer is that the tiger cannot hurt the girl in the painting!

After everyone was stunned, they looked at the painting again and had a new understanding.

There is a profound meaning in this painting...

Madam Chang painted this tiger tonight. Does it also have the implication that the tiger is said to be fiercer than the tiger?

And these tiger eyes are even more sarcastic.

Someone said with emotion: "Water is used to overcome fire in Mrs. Chang's paintings... What happened tonight is that the evil has not been suppressed, so it is appropriate."

Some people whispered: "If the girl in the painting is Chang Niangzi, then the troublemaker is the evil tiger...Who does the ape on the tree refer to?"

The person who asked the question made eye contact with the person being asked for a moment.

-The monkeys are them!

"Monkeys are gold, and they can also overcome the wood that makes fire." Chang Sui Ning's voice sounded, and he looked at everyone with a smile: "I would like to thank you all for witnessing justice for me today."

There was laughter everywhere.

This monkey is not annoying at all, at least he is a good monkey!

"If you think about it, we are included in the painting!"

"It's an honor for me..."

The banter continued, and the atmosphere was harmonious and joyful.

"Before, the young student Shang Jueqiao said it was no different from a joke to accept Mrs. Chang as his disciple...but now I know that I am narrow-minded! Mrs. Chang's talents are unmatched by others, and we feel ashamed!"

"The sacrificial wine really has a keen eye."

Listening to these compliments, the smile on Qiao Jijiu's face was unpredictable.

Should he say it or not, he, like everyone else, just realized that he had accepted such a decent student...

Qiao Jijiu looked over with relief, and saw the girl smiling without humility and saying, "I said I won't insult the teacher's name."

More than just humiliation!

Master Chu sighed and looked at Qiao Jijiu: "This is obviously because he has reached a higher level."

Qiao Jijiu disagreed: "What the Master said...this is my own daughter. What does the family say about being high and low?"

I'm afraid the Taifu is jealous that he has accepted a good student who wants to take advantage of him!

At this moment, Taifu Chu looked at Chang Sui Ning: "Who did you, a girl, learn painting from before?"

Looking into those old eyes, Chang Sui Ning knew that the teacher had indeed seen the clues.

She used to be good at two kinds of handwriting. She could switch between them easily and almost no one would notice the flaws. Therefore, she was also good at hiding her own style. When she painted this painting, she tried her best to hide it-

But she could hide it from everyone except her teacher.

Since she began to study calligraphy and painting intensively, she received personal guidance from her teacher. The teacher knew her secrets and even personally taught her how to better hide her original handwriting.

In other words, this bowl of rice was served to her by the teacher. She changed the bowl to serve the rice and added something else to the rice, but the teacher could still smell a trace of the smell.

"There is no serious teacher." She took out the words she had prepared when painting: "But I once accidentally copied the calligraphy of Her Royal Highness Princess Chongyue -"

She had already told Duan Zhenyi this lie, and Wei Shuyi also knew it. Now that mother and son were present, she had no choice but to think of another excuse.

Calligraphy and painting are connected. She knows the calligraphy of "Chongyue", so it makes sense that the painting is "similar" to it.

After hearing this answer, Taifu Chu looked at the girl in front of him and came back to his senses after a moment.

Right…

This can only be the explanation.

Otherwise, is there any other possibility?

After brushing away the feeling of loss that he couldn't explain clearly, Mrs. Chu returned his sight to the painting: "I said how could there be a similar feeling? It turns out that you, a girl, have learned the calligraphy of my student. ”

Although he was the prince's tutor, all the princes and princesses in the palace had been taught by him when they were young, so when he called Chong Yue his student in public, people would not think too much.

After hearing this, there were emotional discussions everywhere.

Who here has never heard of Princess Chongyue, who was twin brother and sister to the former Crown Prince, married to Beidi in exchange for three years of peace in Dasheng, and then committed suicide before the war out of righteousness?

Looking at Chang Suining again, Cui Jing's eyes seemed to have changed slightly.

After the veil was lifted, Mingluo's eyes were full of irony and coolness.

really.

She had already seen the scriptures from Dayun Temple before, and this person clearly had the intention of imitating others.

Sure enough, today was the opportunity to say it out in front of others.

But is she just trying to get the attention of these people?
