Chang'an is good

The method given by Cui Jing is quite simple and clear.

He went back to General Chang's mansion with Chang Kuo, and in the study, he wrote four big characters with a pen——

"Just hang this four-character branch outside the gate of the mansion, and the relatives can retreat by themselves."

His tone was so serious that it seemed that it was not an ordinary picture, but a talisman that could be used to drive away evil spirits.

Chang Kuo picked up the lettering and took a closer look, only to see that there were four large characters written on it, "No marriage discussion".

"This..." Chang Kuo came back to his senses, and his eyes brightened: "Wow!"

The most high-end and trouble-free rejection often only needs to adopt the simplest and most direct method!

Chang Kuo immediately asked someone to paste this picture directly on the door of the mansion.

After Chang Suining left Zheng Guogong's mansion yesterday, he went to the farm with Chang Sui'an to check whether the autumn harvest was ready. When he returned home, he saw the four big characters on the door——

Chang Suian was taken aback for a moment, and then asked the servant who came up to meet him: "Whose idea is this?"

"Go back to Mr. Lang, it's the general's order."

Chang Sui'an also understood: "Oh, it really seems like something my dad can do."

"But this character doesn't look like Father's." Chang Suining stepped forward to take a serious look: "Father can't write such beautiful characters."

In other words, there are not many people in the Chang family, or even in the entire capital, who can write such strong and powerful characters.

Dad can't just invite some calligraphers to write for these four characters, right?
Chang Suining's doubts were quickly answered in the front hall.

She saw Cui Jing in official robes sitting in her living room drinking tea.

Looking at this appearance, it was obvious that he was pulled over just after the morning court.

"Sui Ning could see the words pasted outside?" Chang Kuo laughed and said, "This was just written by Governor Cui!"

Chang Suining looked at Cui Jing with some astonishment.

——Has he been coerced in any way?If you are threatened by Lao Chang, you might as well wink with her.

The young man didn't blink, just lowered his eyes and continued to drink tea.

Pian Changkuo said again: "Not only was the word written by Governor Cui Dadu, but the idea was also proposed by Governor Cui Dadu!"

Cui Jing: "..."

There is no need to mention it in such detail...

Inexplicably, it seemed that he had participated a lot in this matter, as if he was very keen on blocking her marriage proposal.

Cui Jing, who never likes to explain, felt that he had to explain at this time: "General Chang told me today that Icemen came to the door frequently recently, Mrs. Chang didn't intend to discuss marriage, the general couldn't bear to disturb—"

Chang Suining had already sat down in the chair, smiled knowingly, and said, "Thank you, Commander Cui, although this method is simple, it is very good."

simple?

Cui Jing looked at her.

Is this a compliment?

Chang Kuo said to him enthusiastically: "...If there is no urgent matter, I will stay here today and have lunch before leaving."

"Thank you, General, but this junior still has something to do." Cui Jing glanced at the hourglass, put down the tea cup and got up: "It's time to pass."

Is this going?
Seeing that he was busy and not at ease, Chang Suining naturally swallowed the polite invitation that came to his lips.

Chang Kuo sent someone to send Cui Jing out of the house.

After leaving the gate of Changfu, Yuan Xiang glanced back at the "talisman paper", and suddenly belatedly asked: "...Great Governor, why did you come here this time to write these words?"

Anyone can write these words, so why is it worth the trip by the governor himself?

Yuan Xiang felt a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Cui Jing stopped when he heard the words, and when he looked back, he suddenly felt that his actions were somewhat inexplicable.

Thinking back for a moment, I feel that I can no longer delve into the thoughts at that time, as if I have a feeling of being possessed by something...?
He was still in a state of bewilderment in his heart, and suddenly he heard his subordinate say suddenly: "Great Governor, this subordinate understands it!"

Cui Jing immediately looked at his subordinates.

"It's no wonder that you didn't like to make friends with people before. It's actually because you have deep affection in your bones. Once you regard someone as a friend, no matter how big or small it is, you have to do it yourself." Yuan Xiang sighed. Said: "Ms. Chang can make friends like you, I really envy others."

Cui Jing: "..."

Maybe that's it?
After all, he had no experience in making friends before.

"Let's go." Cui Jing jumped onto the horse's back.

Yuan Xiang quickly got on his horse and followed.

Looking at the heroic and tall back of his own chief governor and his always wise head, Yuan Xiang couldn't help shaking his head and sighing in his heart, he lacks love like a governor, it is really easy to get lost in these intimate relationships that he has never touched.

Chang Suining and Chang Sui'an finished their lunch at home and went out.

Today is the ten-day rest day of the Imperial College, Cui Lang proposed to hold a social banquet, and the location was chosen at the famous and elegant place in the city - the Listening Hall.

As its name suggests, this hall is famous for its music, and there are the best musicians in the city sitting in the hall.

All clubs in the capital have social banquets, and Chang Suining didn't like to make a fuss about it, but Cui Lang was willing to contribute money and efforts. As the head of a club, she only needed to show her face, and she could reap the benefits of winning people's hearts for nothing. There is no reason to be unhappy.

There are currently 18 members in Wuershe, all of whom were selected by Cui Lang's strict checks.

Anyone who entered the Imperial College either had a family background or had learned from others. Such a group of young people gathered together to have fun, and after a long time, it would not be just simple fun.

Chang Suining had only been to the farm yesterday, and she knew that before the grain was harvested, it needed to go through a lot of preparation and waiting such as loosening the soil, sowing, and watering.

Not a day is wasted from the germination of a seed until it is harvested.

The listening hall is set in the style of the south of the Yangtze River. In addition to the lobby and private rooms on the second floor for people to listen to music, there are four elegant courtyards in the backyard for gatherings of elegant literati.

Cui Lang booked one of the "bamboo courtyards" today.

Chang Suining got out of the carriage, and as soon as he entered the hall, he heard the sound of a pipa.

There were listeners shaking their heads and singing in the hall. Under the guidance of the staff, she and Chang Suian passed through the front hall and entered the backyard. The green bamboo curtain fell, and the sound of the pipa gradually faded away.

"Hey, Mrs. Chang?!"

Chang Suining was about to go to the "Bamboo Courtyard", when he suddenly heard a voice from the side.

She turned her head to look at the person who came, and raised her hand with a smile: "Tan Juren."

The young man in the blue shirt was surprised: "Miss Chang, do you still remember me?"

Chang Suining smiled and said: "Your Excellency is someone who agrees with Taibai, it's hard not to remember."

Tan Li couldn't help laughing: "Ms. Chang really has a good memory..."

Immediately he asked curiously: "I heard that Mrs. Chang formed a Juju society in the Imperial College, called Wuer Society?"

"Yes, today is just for the social banquet, Tan Juren, if you don't mind, you can drink tea and wine together in the bamboo courtyard."

Tan Li showed a look of extreme regret: "Thank you, Mrs. Chang, for the invitation, but Tan was also invited today..."

As he spoke, he heard footsteps, looked back, and said, "It's the Song Dynasty Juren's poetry meeting coming!"

Thinking that he didn't have a lot of money after he came to Beijing, he likes to eat, drink, and ice basins to reduce expenses. It is also an exercise that will end in the next year, and he and Song Xian, who are well-known for their talents, naturally know each other.

Among the literati who came along, the one surrounded by everyone was Song Xian.

When he saw Chang Sui Ning, the expression on his face that was originally smiling slightly with others withdrew.

"Song Juren, this is the lady of the Chang family who painted in the Dengtai Tower during the Dragon Boat Festival." Tan Li said, suddenly smiled: "The two of you are both studying in the Imperial College, so you must be familiar with each other, so I don't need to talk too much Introduced!"

"I'm not familiar with him." Song Xian corrected without looking sideways: "Also, Mrs. Chang is not a student studying in the Imperial College."

When he said the second half of the sentence, he seemed to have intentionally or unintentionally bit the word "lady".

After Tan Li was taken aback for a moment, he laughed again: "That's right, Mrs. Chang worshiped Qiao Jijiu as her teacher alone..."

Song Xian frowned almost imperceptibly.

"The poetry meeting is about to start, let's go." He didn't seem to want to stay here any longer, as if he didn't want to be with anyone.

Tan Li smiled and bid farewell to Chang Sui Ning, followed by Song Xian and the others.

"Ning Ning, who is that Song Juren?" Chang Suian frowned and said, "Why does it look a bit..."

"I don't like it very much." Chang Suining answered the words by himself.

Chang Suian nodded: "Yes!"

Jiantong took one more look at his lord.

It has to be said that only when it comes to matters related to girls, will Mr. Lang show extraordinary sensitivity.

"Your sister has a feud with him?" Chang Suian asked in a low voice as he walked.

"Yes, it's a fixed holiday."

Because before she became a teacher of Qiao Yang, she had never inquired carefully about the fact that this Song Juren also wanted to be a teacher of Qiao Yang but was rejected——

With this natural hostility, at the beginning, he used "the so-called apprenticeship, but the little girl willfully misbehaves" to balance his dignity and face.

Even though it was later discovered that she was not completely fooling around, this posture was too high, and after a long time, it would not be easy to get down.

This is human nature, let alone a literati with a clear and proud heart who cherishes face, she can completely understand it.

It is very difficult for the other party to step down from this high platform called prejudice.

"Then has he ever spoken rudely? Do you need me to teach him a lesson?" Chang Sui'an was eager to try.

Chang Suining: "No need, bro, keep this crap out of hand."

"Ning Ning!"

Qiao Yubai who came earlier waved to Chang Suining.

Standing beside him was Qiao Yumian, who was rarely willing to go out to relax. Hearing that Chang Suining had arrived, the girl smiled.

Chang Suining walked over quickly.

Although Chang Suian is not a member of the club, as the elder brother of the club owner, he has long been acquainted with Hu Huan and the others in the club, and gets along very well, except when he competes with Qiao Yubai for the title of elder brother.

Everyone greeted lively, and Chang Suining led Qiao Yumian to his seat.

Cui Lang ordered not to drink alcohol, and everyone just substituted tea for wine, or talked about interesting things in the Imperial College, or some strange things they heard, or some political affairs that didn't touch too much.

"I heard from my father that the sage was furious in the early court yesterday because the Ming Dynasty female history secretly found out that several officials wrote poems in private gatherings implying that the sage refused to return the power..."

"Those officials were all demoted! It seems that one of them is Luo Yushi who advocated the abolition of the emperor with the saint..."

Hearing this slightly embarrassing tone, Chang Suining didn't feel any difference - when Luo Yushi advocated the abolition of the emperor, it didn't mean that he really supported the enthronement of the Ming Dynasty, or that the position and interests of the present and the past have changed. In fact, only interests are stable and unchanged.

This is why those gentry bureaucrats are closely linked.

At the same time, it is also the reason why the empress of the Ming Dynasty confronted the gentry bureaucrats.

From this incident, it may be seen that the voices of dissatisfaction with the empress Ming's refusal to return power from all over the court are increasing as the prince grows up.

Today is a private poem allusion, what about tomorrow?

Relegating several civil servants will not calm down the matter.

When Chang Sui Ning was making judgments from the news he heard, he suddenly saw a member of the club running in: "... Cui Liulang and the people from the Xunmei Club are arguing!"

Just now the young servant came to spread the word with a pot, saying that he saw the elders of the Cui clan coming here, so Cui Lang went out to say a few words.

I just went out, I think I haven't seen anyone from the clan yet, so why did I start arguing with the people from Xunmei Club?

When Chang Suining and others arrived, they saw that Cui Lang was about to make a move.

"Damn! What's the big deal, I can tell it's a jar of pickled cucumbers. I'll smash you into pieces today, my lord!"

"Mr. Cui Liulang, calm down, a gentleman uses his mouth and doesn't move his hands..." The comrades around Cui Lang were pulling him - our reinforcements have not yet arrived, and now we are outnumbered by our actions!
The student on the opposite side who had been drinking sneered, "It's easy for you to form an association with a woman as the head. Why don't you let people talk about it?"

"And what is Wuershe, the tone is quite loud——"

It must be known that their Xunmei Society has always been recognized as the No. [-] society in the Imperial College, and a polo player on the opposite side dares to arrogantly call itself the No. [-] Society!
These grievances are not accumulated overnight.

Moreover, most of them in the Xunmei Club were from poor families, and they already had resentment towards those gentry who squeezed and oppressed them. At this time, facing Cui Lang, a worthless son of the Cui family, they all exploded with the help of alcohol.

"Even Brother Song has already said it, that Mrs. Chang's act of forming an association is clearly ruining the ethos of the Guozijian!"

Song Xian frowned upon hearing this.

He did say this, and he still dared to say it now, but when he said it through someone else's mouth, it was like he was gossiping behind his back and saying that women are bad.

But the woman came over at this time and heard these words in her ears.

Looking at each other, she didn't question or get annoyed——

Instead, someone pulled Cui Lang aside first, and then said to him: "Song Ju people are used to judging men and women in terms of superiority and inferiority, do you think that apart from the differences between men and women, you have nothing else to compare with me? "

Song Xian frowned.

The members around him also showed dissatisfaction.

What kind of arrogant talk is this?

Song Xian said: "I have always thought of you as a woman, so I gave you three points..."

Chang Suining looked at him: "You and I have never fought for anything, so how can we give in?"

Or is it that he has been competing with her in his heart because of his apprenticeship with Qiao, and because of the so-called woman, he "disdains" to compete with her?
Song Xianxiu's middle fingers tightened slightly, as if someone had seen through his extremely secret thoughts.

But at this time, the girl in sight said: "Compared to private speculation and discussion, today Song Juren dare to put aside the distinction between men and women, and compete with me in a dignified manner, to determine the real superiority?"

Is this a public afternoon call?

There was noise all around.

Sensing those gazes, Song Xian looked at Chang Suining: "What does Mrs. Chang want to compare with Song?"

Good night everyone~
(Yuan Xiang is worried today: It is said that the Huichun Pavilion has recently diagnosed a disease called love brain. His family's chief supervisor is probably not a proper friend brain, right?

Today is also the day when the governor is in charge of "friendship"_(:з"∠)_)
