Dawei Fanghua

Chapter 19 Schadenfreude

Wang Xuanji also glanced out the window casually, but she didn't find anything special.The Qiyun Pagoda of White Horse Temple is vaguely visible. Although it is very famous, people in Luoyang have long been accustomed to it and don't find it very interesting.

At this time, Qin Liang spoke, but his voice was not loud. Wang Xuanji listened hard to hear it.

He told Chaoyun: "These inner walls in Luoyang block the view and make people feel very unopened. I thought it would be better to live in a place with an attic, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that. There are always higher houses. Block."

Chaoyun's voice said: "It's not high enough here."

Wang Xuanji thought about what Qin Liang said for a moment, and wondered in her heart: Is he using things to express his ambitions and lamenting that the current official status is too low?

While she was thinking, she looked for an opportunity to observe Qin Liang, and saw that his expression was calm, but secretly a little gloomy.Suddenly I felt that my guess should make sense: he was probably an ambitious person.

Wang Xuanji wanted to look at him for a while, but she was afraid that it would be too obvious and make things too embarrassing.Today she asked Chao Yun to take her out. It was already embarrassing to peek at others like this, and she must not let him see it.

Wang Xuanji was a little angry and thought to herself: He doesn't even know that I exist, and has never even heard of my name. Why should I take the initiative to provoke him with such a shameless face?Like I wanted to get to know him.

However, Qin Liang's appearance is indeed very good, mainly because of his dressing image, which is pleasing to Wang Xuanji.Small crown, black cuffed deep robe, this kind of dress is neither seasonal nor fashionable, and looks very retro.But Wang Xuanji was particularly dissatisfied with the fashionable clothes of some scholars now, so she thought Qin Liang had a good temperament.

Recently, some scholars will wear a semi-shoulder-revealing shirt with two straps hanging on the shoulders, which looks very enchanting.Wang Xuanji was very disgusted when she saw such dressing. Fortunately, Qin Liang was not that kind of person.

Her father, Wang Ling, was also someone who wanted to follow Shi Xin. Originally, his father had been leading troops outside all year round and had little understanding of the Three Mysteries of the scholars in Yecheng, Luoyang. However, when naming her, he had to use the word " The word "Xuan".

Wang Xuanji herself doesn't like Xuanyuan's studies, mainly because she hates those people who wear semi-transparent shirts and most of them like Xuanyuan's pure talk.

At this time Chaoyun's voice said: "Qin Jun's poem, I have shown it to others. It seems that the poem is not finished?"

Wang Xuanji glanced at the sound and suddenly became angry because the two men and women were looking at each other. Do they have to stare at each other?Wang Xuanji didn't know why she was so angry. Anyway, she just couldn't stand their demeanor.

But she was a little gloating and thought to herself: It's just a poem. Can't you see that it's only half of it?Then you have the nerve to say that you met Qin Liang because you admired his articles?You can't even understand poetry, how can you understand an article that is full of allusions?I think you are not admiring the talent of the article, but just being thick-skinned and trying to take advantage of others.

In contrast, Wang Xuanji found that she could fully understand Qin Liang's article, and she immediately felt that her taste was better than Chaoyun's, and she felt a little better.

As expected, Wang Xuanji noticed from the corner of her eye that Qin Liang's expression changed slightly.He is a person with very stable emotional expression, so even subtle changes can be detected.

Wang Xuanji suddenly felt funny: Chaoyun, you said it yourself, now you have been seen through.But there is no way, how much ink is in the belly will be revealed sooner or later.

Qin Liang then smiled slightly and said: "Liang is very talented and has little knowledge. Originally, he read mostly scriptures and is not very good at poetry. It was only because Girl Chao Yun's sword dance that night was so amazing that I was so excited that I wrote such a poem. A few okay verses. Even if you ask me to add more later, I'm afraid it will only be a continuation of the story. It's only half a poem, I hope the girl won't dislike it."

How humble.

Chao Yun shook his head slightly and just said thank you.Sure enough, Qin Liang quickly brought the topic to the article "Requesting Lu Gongzhi to Dispute the Boundary". After talking about it for a few sentences, he knew what was interesting and stopped talking about it.

After a while, Qin Liang changed the topic and said: "Wang Gongyuan (Wang Guang) and Mrs. Bai get along well."

When Wang Xuanji heard that Qin Liang finally asked about the Wang family, she listened more intently.

Chaoyun said: "I'm not sure. I don't know the people in the prince's house very well. Why did Mr. Qin say that?"

Qin Liang said calmly: "On the afternoon of the second day after the incident, Wang Gongyuan came to the General's Mansion to complain. If Wang Gongyuan and Mrs. Bai weren't on good terms, why would he sue the General's Mansion for such a matter?"

Chaoyun said: "Mrs. Bai is indeed very kind to me."

At this moment, Qin Liang turned his head, and his eyes suddenly turned here.Wang Xuanji didn't pay attention, her heart thumped, and she quickly looked away, pretending to be nonchalant.But there was already a "dong dong dong" sound in her heart. The sound was so loud that she was afraid that people next door could hear it.My face immediately became hot. There was no mirror here, but I didn't know if my face was already blushing.

Wang Xuanji glanced at the wine bottle on the table, immediately picked it up, poured a large glass, and poured it into her mouth.She had never drank before, but after drinking it all at once, she felt the taste was so unpleasant that she almost vomited it out.Suddenly her behavior and mood became flustered, and she didn't dare to look over there anymore.

After a while, there was a sound on the wooden ladder, and other guests came up.Chao Yun picked up the curtain hat beside the cushion and put it on his head.

Qin Liang's voice said at the right moment: "I'll say goodbye here today. See you later."

Chaoyun said: "I will definitely come to visit you someday."

Qin Liang said: "We are always welcome in Humble House."

The two got up and went down to the attic one after another.Wang Xuanji took a long breath, stood up and stood in front of the window, looking down to observe them getting into the carriage.Unexpectedly, Qin Liang turned around again and glanced at the attic.Wang Xuanji moved, moved her body, and hurriedly dodged behind the wall.

By the time Wang Xuanji went downstairs and walked out of the gatehouse of the theater, Qin Liang's carriage had already left.Wang Xuanji's car was still on the side of the road, and the driver was leaning against the wall not far away boredly.Wang Xuanji stepped forward and opened the tail curtain, and she saw Chao Yun sitting inside.

Chao Yun smiled and said, "He noticed the girl as soon as he came up."

"Really?" Wang Xuanji stepped onto the carriage and put her hand gently on her cheek. "It's the first time I drank. It tasted really bad." She paused for a moment and then asked, "You didn't talk about me after you walked out of the attic?"

Chao Yun shook his head and said, "Isn't the girl not allowed to speak? She can't be duplicitous, can she?"

Wang Xuanji also shook her head and glanced at Chao Yun helplessly.

Chao Yun stopped smiling, suddenly became like an elder, and his tone became a little more serious, "Mrs. Bai treats me well. I always feel that my wife definitely doesn't want you to associate with Qin Liang."

Wang Xuanji frowned and said, "I told you, it's not what you think."

Chao Yun sighed and said, "That's good. It's just this time. I really can't take you to see him again."

Wang Xuanji curled her red lips and said: "Who cares? This man is very ordinary and seems to be a bit poor. I am only interested in his articles and poems. His literary talent is indeed outstanding."

Wang Xuanji did not blame Chaoyun, because Chaoyun was not wrong.If Wang Xuanji had contact with Qin Liang, her mother Bai would of course object. She knew her mother's thoughts too well.

In Bai's heart, although Wang Xuanji was the daughter of a concubine and her mother's family background was not good, she was the daughter of Tinghou of Yicheng and General Zhengdong, and her surname was Wang.In addition, Bai felt that her daughter's rare beauty could completely make up for her mother's humble background.Therefore, the Bai family's arrangement was that Wang Xuanji must marry a prince of the royal family. Even if she was unlucky, she must be a child of a noble family, with a wide range of land and mansions, and a family background that has been an official for generations.

With a slightly humble image like Qin Liang, Bai was not willing to kill him, so there was no room for negotiation and compromise.

Wang Xuanji said angrily: "Then I'll go back."

Chaoyun said: "I came out with the girl, so I have to send you back." Then he called the driver to drive the carriage, and they rode together.

The two sat facing each other in silence for a while.After a while, Wang Xuanji said a little disappointedly: "I thought you could dance the sword today, and I happened to be lucky enough to watch it."

Chaoyun immediately responded: "Now that Mrs. Bai is so distinguished, there are so many singing girls and dancers in the house, so it is not convenient for me to teach them in person. I can't repay you. In the future, I can come to the house to teach singing and dancing. If you want to see my sword dance, there are plenty of opportunities."

Wang Xuanji nodded lightly. She raised her hand, and the lining sleeves slid back naturally from her smooth hands. Her white fingertips were exposed. She reached over and gently opened a corner of the curtain, staring blankly outside.

In fact, almost nothing can be seen outside, only the wall.As Qin Liang said, these inner walls in Luoyang block the view and make people feel very unopened.
