Hello Chang'an Chapter 122

Chapter 122: Very different temperaments

Who doesn't know that as the saint gets older, he misses his children more and more deeply...

Chang Suining took so much trouble to copy Princess Chongyue's handwriting and calligraphy and made it known to the public. Wasn't it really just for the saint to treat her differently?

A mere orphan girl, relying on many connections such as being saved by the former prince when she was young, has already received the favor of so many people, why is she still unwilling to be satisfied?

Seeing the girl's overly calm demeanor from beginning to end, Mingluo quietly tightened her fingers in her sleeves.

If you look closely, you can see that the other party is deliberately imitating more than just the eldest princess's handwriting...

"Would you like to come forward to see the painting, maid?" the maid at the side asked softly.

Mingluo's eyes were fixed on the girl's face: "No need, I can't see it clearly anymore."

After a moment, she withdrew her gaze, calmed down her mind, and then walked towards Cui Jing who was standing aside.

"Captain Cui."

Cui Jing turned her head when she heard the sound and nodded slightly: "History of women in the Ming Dynasty."

Seeing that he was not surprised at all, Mingluo knew that what he thought was right - even if she was wearing regular clothes and covering her face with a power fence, he would have recognized her a long time ago.

At least...he is indeed familiar with her, isn't he?

Over the years, he was either leading troops outside or busy with the affairs of the Xuance Mansion in the capital. He went in and out between Xuance's army and the palace every day. She was the only woman around him who he could exchange a few words with.

She had known a long time ago, and her aunt had also said that those ordinary girls kept in the boudoir could not catch his eye at all.

Only she was different. She had been taught by her aunt in the palace since she was a child. She was knowledgeable, visionary and even had the right to participate in politics. She was the only one who could stand alongside him.

So she was never anxious or had any other worries.

But since he returned to Beijing this time, the person who didn't appear suddenly suddenly appeared in front of him and suddenly appeared in everyone's sight...

Everything that man did was beyond her expectations. He seemed to be running rampant, but he really broke the original peace with this rampage - whether it was the matter of Jie's family tonight, or his sight that never deviated... that sight , now it really seems to be starting to deviate.

Especially...he had just heard the name of Princess Chongyue from Chang Suining, which was enough to distract him.

He and she are both insiders of the secrets in Dayun Temple.

Therefore, during the sacrifices one after another, she could feel that he also had respect for Princess Chongyue.

People who are so dazzling but die young, leaving no flaws behind and only leaving the world with a pity, are always easy to make people look up to, and he was no exception.

But the dead are already dead, no matter how special they are, they are no longer in this world.

But now, there is such a person openly imitating the handwriting of Princess Chongyue, and even not just the handwriting, trying to use the name of Princess Chongyue to gain a lot of attention and favor for himself -

This behavior is really as whimsical as a clown...

Mingluo suppressed the unacknowledged uneasiness in his heart, looked at the girl surrounded by everyone, and said with a half-smile: "It is easy to copy and imitate calligraphy and painting, but Mrs. Chang's temperament and behavior are completely different from those of the eldest princess. Different places.”

Cui Jing looked in the direction of Chang Suining: "You and I have no way of knowing the details of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess's temperament during her lifetime."

Mingluo's expression was slightly stagnant, and he turned to look at him, trying to sound casual and normal: "Admiral Cui seems to treat Mrs. Chang a little differently... Is it because of General Chang?"

Cui Jing: "Not much different."

It was clearly a denial, but Mingluo felt increasingly unable to relax.

He actually started lying.

He never bothered to lie.

In other words, he never realized that he was lying...

Doesn't such an abnormal reaction prove the difference in treating the other party?

Mingluo smiled as if he didn't care, and said without further words or questions, "It's getting late, it's time to return to the palace, so I'll take the first step."

Cui Jing nodded.

Ming Luo felt blessed, turned around and left with the maid.

As he was going downstairs, a tall, thin, middle-aged man with a beard walked quickly up to the second floor, accompanied by a restaurant waiter. The waiter said with excitement: "...although I am a villain, I don't understand. It's very elegant, but you can tell that the painting is extraordinary! Everyone who sees it will praise it... You will know it as soon as you see it!”

The maid beside Min Luo couldn't help but sigh: "Tomorrow, no one in the capital will know the name of Mrs. Chang."

"It's not just her talent. What's shown in her painting is not just her talent -" Mingluo stepped out of the Dengtai Building. Even the night breeze blowing against her face in the summer was hot. She raised her hand to take off her phoenix. Li Li, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "Today, Mrs. Jie has lost her own prestige for many years, but she came here specifically to bring glory to her."

She didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she got on the carriage and closed her eyes to rest, and the maid stopped talking.

In the building, Master Chu looked at the painting and hesitated to speak.

Sensing the old man's slightly sad mood just now, Chang Suining deliberately changed the subject and asked, "Taifu Yi, how similar is this painting to that of the eldest princess?"

Mrs. Chu straightened his beard and said softly: "Little girl, don't be complacent, 20% is the most."

Although this girl is very good, her students are the best!

"Twenty percent is a lot." Chang Kuo said, "Ning Ning is self-taught without a teacher!"

Chang Suining smiled.

The teacher said 20%, which is about 30% to 40%.

Of the remaining 60% of the difference, 30% is that she deliberately concealed it, and the other 30% is probably the real difference - human nature will change with the environment, and the calligraphy and painting are also reflections of the nature of the person.

In the three years since she left Dasheng and was alone in Beidi, she must have changed a bit.

Neither the teacher nor Lao Chang had the chance to see her again.

It's okay not to see you.

There is nothing visible about her like that.

Chang Sui Ning looked at the old people chatting and laughing in front of him with a smile.

It's good to see each other like this now.

"Isn't this Meng Dong's house!" Chang Kuo waved to the visitor with a smile, "I was just looking for you!"

He knew the owner of Dengtai Tower, or in other words, the Meng Dong family guarded Dengtai Tower, the first restaurant in the capital with a booming business, and he knew the powerful officials in the capital to some extent.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, it is normal for Chang Kuo to be familiar with him.

The Meng Dongjia stepped forward with a smile and bowed to everyone one by one.

Chang Suining looked at him.

The last time I met Meng Lie was fifteen years ago, and it was also such a sultry summer night.

But the atmosphere at that time was completely different. The lights were dim, and the other party's face looked like she was crying at the grave, and she refused to agree to her suggestion to leave.

She no longer forced herself, and made another cake, asking them to change the name of the restaurant and hold on to her life until she came back from Beidi.

Meng Lie kowtowed with tears in his eyes. When she left, he looked back for one last look, only to see the other person kneeling there and looking up at her, with runny nose and tears. It was so messy and funny.

The way it looks now is quite glamorous.

As she gets older, she becomes more calm and smooth. When she greets people by clasping hands, she seems to have a faint glow of a peerless profiteer - well, she really had a good eye back then.

As if aware of her gaze, Meng Lie turned around and smiled: "I think this is Mrs. Chang, right?"

Chang Sui Ning also smiled at him and nodded: "Exactly."

"Is this the picture of tigers roaming in the mountains and forests painted by Mrs. Chang?" Meng Lie went to look at the painting while he was talking, a look of surprise gradually appearing on his face.

After a moment, he said: "Meng has an unkind request, I don't know whether I should tell it or not -"

According to common sense, Chang Sui would rather reply, "Then don't say it." However, she already expected that what the other party was going to say was probably what she wanted to hear, so she nodded politely: "It doesn't matter if Meng Dongjia just says it."

"Ms. Chang, I wonder if this painting can be left in Meng's Dengtai Tower?"

Chang Sui Ning was about to nod, but Chang Kuo refused first: "Although I call you Lao Meng, you can't keep talking in your sleep!"

Meng Lie spread his hands: "I don't have to reach out to ask for nothing -"

Chang Kuo blew his beard: "This is not about money! Who is short of your three melons and two dates?"

He also wanted to take the painting back and hang it in the main hall!

Qiao Jijiu also nodded in agreement. He also wants to take the painting back and hang it in the study!

Master Chu also nodded.

He was worrying about how to ask for money without appearing to be too fond of taking advantage!

Meng Lie said with a smile: "General Chang, don't worry. After all, this painting was painted by Miss Chang. Do we still need to ask Miss Chang about her intentions?"

If he read correctly, this young lady was happy.

Sure enough, I heard Chang Suining say: "Dad, I think the Meng Dong family's proposal is very good - if this painting can be left in the Dengtai Tower for everyone to appreciate, it will be a good home for it."

Chang Kuo vaguely understood.

Qiao Jijiu looked at the painting and understood what Chang Sui Ning meant.

This painting that she used to prove her innocence tonight was left here, or even more meaningful.

"But I really like my teacher very much..." Qiao Jijiu made a show of reluctantly giving up her love.

Chang Suining: "Just draw another picture for the teacher later."

Qiao Jijiu then showed a satisfied smile.

Chang Sui An hurriedly said: "Ning Ning, we also lack a painting at home!"

Chang Suining: "When I look back, I will draw a bigger picture."

Taifu Chu looked at the painting and sighed and said "tsk, tsk" twice, but said nothing.

Chang Sui Ning was very eye-catching: "If the master likes it, when will the younger generation also draw a picture and send it to others?"

"This..." Mr. Chu wanted to say something polite but did not dare to take the risk. He trimmed his beard and said: "Tiger... looks too fierce. It will give me nightmares if I see one at night. I prefer bamboo, stone, and other quiet and nourishing things. ”

Chang Suining nodded knowingly.

"Brother... do you want to go over and sigh?" Wei Miaoqing couldn't bear the temptation.

Wei Shuyi laughed: "What are you thinking about? I didn't see that they are all for the elders -"

For the elders?

On the side, Yuan Xiang's mouth was faster than his brain, and he hurriedly lowered his voice and asked his governor: "Grand Governor, do you want to ask for one and go back to our Xuance Mansion?"

Cui Jing looked at him: "...?"

Didn't you hear what Wei Shuyi said?

Or do you think...he is the elder?

Under the gaze of his own governor, Yuan Xiang came to his senses, his tongue was tied, and he laughed dryly: "I'm just kidding! Hey!"

It's all because the Governor is spending time with General Chang every day, and General A Dian often talks about being a family...so much so that he subconsciously regards the Governor as Mrs. Chang's elder!

"Grandma..." Wei Miaoqing couldn't help but pull her grandma's hand.

Grandma is always the elder!

"Why are you anxious? There will always be opportunities in the future." Duan smiled and looked at her daughter beside her: "Why don't you blame Auntie Chang for being longer than Chang's wife?"

Wei Miaoqing's face turned red upon hearing this.

How could she have imagined that Mrs. Chang would be so popular after teaching Mrs. Jie a lesson?

Everyone heard that Mrs. Chang agreed to leave the painting in Dengtai Tower, and most of them were happy to see it happen.

"Such a masterpiece, more people should come and see it..."

"If I want to see the paintings someday, I can come over and take a look at them at any time."

"Wake up, how can we have so much money to climb Tailou?"

This hit-to-point statement made many cash-strapped literati suddenly feel a pain in their hearts.

At this moment, I saw the Meng Dong family bowing their hands and bowing to everyone, and said with a smile: "Meng is fortunate enough to have this painting in his possession, so he should appreciate it with you all. If you want to come and see the painting in the future, you can do it like today." , with a poem and a poem, he went into the building to sit down and enjoy the paintings - although Meng is not as generous as General Chang, he still has a pot of tea. "

Everyone was overjoyed and thanked him one after another.

Meng Lie turned around and whispered to his assistant to invite the best framer in the city.

The night was already deep, and it was finally time for the banquet to end.

Chang Suining saluted everyone and said with a smile, "I hope to see you all again in the future."

Everyone returned the favor one after another.

But at this time, not many of them took the words of reunion seriously.

When many people walked out of the Dengtai Tower, they looked back and felt that what they had experienced that day was like a dream.

The literati dispersed faster, and the female relatives fell behind because they had no intention of talking to Chang Sui Ning.

There is no need to express too much about the disdain and rejoicing of the female family members about Mrs. Jie. The rest is the praise and emotion for the painting.

So the girl in the painting is not just Mrs. Chang?

"Fortunately, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Yang Qi is blazing. Naturally, no evil things can get close to Sister Chang!" Yao Xia said happily.

Chang Suining somewhat agrees with this.

She herself is the biggest evil thing, and there is no other evil thing that can come close to her.

"Give this colorful rope to Sister Chang. It can ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters." Yao Xia took off the colorful rope from her wrist and tied it to Chang Suining's wrist.

Every Dragon Boat Festival, female relatives will weave colorful ropes and wear them to pray for Najib.

"Give mine to Mrs. Chang too!"

"And mine..."

It was hard to reject the kindness, so Chang Suining could only let them tie it for him.

"Mine is the one that looks good!" Wei Miaoqing snorted, then pushed forward and quickly tied his colorful rope around Chang Suining's wrist.

Chang Suining took a closer look. It was indeed beautiful, and there were a few colorful jade beads hanging on it.

She smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

Wei Miaoqing said disapprovingly: "It's just a rope, why thank you..."

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that she had never disliked Chang Sui Ning.

At first, I just felt unwilling to be robbed of the limelight and unconvinced how someone could be so beautiful.

Now...

She subconsciously looked at the girl in front of her and saw the girl smiling at her.

Wei Miaoqing's eyes flashed: "...!"

Damn it, now she still feels that Nuwa is unfair!

But...that's Nuwa's fault! It's not Chang Suining's fault!

However, Chang Sui Ning was still smiling at her and said, "It's not just a rope."

These colorful ropes all have the most friendly and beautiful wishes.

After seeing off the female relatives, Chang Suining heard that Chang Kuo and Meng Dong's family went to the backyard to talk, so he took Xi'er to wait outside Dengtai Tower.

The smell of fireworks still lingered in the night wind. Chang Sui Ning took a deep breath, as if he had returned to the aftermath of the battle between the two armies.

She also fought a battle tonight.

Although the battle was not big, fortunately we won.

But there was one thing she guessed wrong—

Chang Suining looked at the dimly lit street and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Surprise! Extremely urgent news! There are only 28 days in this month! ! Monthly tickets will be cleared in advance! ! So, have you voted monthly?
