Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 131 Unexpected Luck (7)

"Fantasy and big radish!" Huang Shimei frowned and said to herself:

"Damn Xu Qing, smelly Xu Qing! Red lacquer chamber pot!" The red lacquer is festive, but the chamber pot is painted with red paint, but it can only hold dirt, which means that a good face is wasted.

Huang Shimei is angry with Xu Qing.On the one hand, I blame Xu Qing for being perfunctory to her. The landscape painting he inscribed on Xu Qing was her favorite one, but Xu Qing hastily inscribed so many bad characters.

What makes Huang Shimei even more angry is that Xu Qing seems to be honest and loyal to Xun Xueer, but besides Xun Xueer, he actually has other women, and he got his maidservant Hey, and also To give a name, this maid is Xiaoyue.

Marrying Xu Qing, even if she was a concubine, Huang Shimei would bear it. She knew that Xu Qing's status was actually noble, and besides that, she really liked Xu Qing.But now, Huang Shimei doesn't even count her mistress, this is something she can't bear, she spreads her anger everywhere, and Xun Xueer doesn't let it go: "This Xun Xueer is indeed a peasant girl, even my own men can't control her!"

Huang Shimei remembered what Xun Xueer said that day, and felt that she had wronged Xun Xueer.

Xun Xueer said: "Shimei, you like Big Brother Xu, I knew it a long time ago, you want to marry him, I also know... As long as Brother Xu is willing, I agree, you can be a big wife..."

"I don't want to talk to you anymore..." Huang Shimei said sadly, and then broke a branch and tore off the leaves one by one:
"Ignore you, ignore you, ignore you, ignore you..."

Counting fallen leaves, counting fallen leaves, is this how the word counting falls?Huang Shimei stopped before tearing off all the branches and leaves in her hand, and threw the note aside.Flipping a coin may not make a good decision, but it will let you know what's on your mind.Huang Shimei was afraid, afraid that the last leaf counted would be "ignore".

There was nothing wrong with her hands, she stayed for a long time, a maid came over and said:
"Miss, here is a guest, from Chang'an..."

After hearing this, Huang Shimei immediately came back to her senses, her expression changed, and she seemed to be in charge of the family.Huang Shimei adjusted her appearance:

The hair is combed with double rings looking at the fairy bun, the golden hairpin is inserted upside down, and there is another golden jade hairpin with a bird holding a pearl, which is inserted obliquely in the black hair. The pearl trembles with the walking, which doubles the charm.Beside the ear, a delicate flower is combed in the hair.

The two small mountain eyebrows added to Huang Shimei's heroic spirit, and the two red crescent-shaped oblique red lines on the cheeks and temples made her a little more charming.

At this time, the weather is still hot, and Huang Shimei only wears a plain chest-length underskirt. Although the chest is full, it has nothing to do with exposure. It is still tightly wrapped, but the skirt is tied above the waist. The song skirt looks very elegant.There is another "half arm" on the outside of the skirt, which is something like short sleeves.

Under the skirt, on the snow-white ankles, is a pair of wooden clogs. The clogs are used barefoot in summer and are popular among folk women. As Li Bai's poem says: "The feet on the clogs are like frost, and the crow's head socks are not worn."

Going to meet guests, Huang Shimei changed into a pair of finely woven straw sandals.

"Shimei, how are you doing lately?" A handsome young man with a slightly more handsome face than a woman.Shaking a paper fan, he looked like he was full of poetry and books.

"Ouyang Zhendong?" Huang Shimei's face turned cold, she recognized Ouyang Zhendong, the aristocratic family, even two families that were not at odds, had to climb up to each other.She has met this Ouyang Zhendong a few times, he is a scholar, and his family is also considered the head of the state.It's just that according to Huang Shimei's personality, compared to Xu Qing's type of "capable of martial arts but not literary", she hates those who are capable of literary but not martial arts, and her attitude towards Ouyang Zhendong can be imagined.Huang Shimei said without enthusiasm: "What's the matter, Mr. Ouyang?"

"Haha, Shimei, you still haven't changed at all..." Ouyang Zhendong was not angry at all, he took out something from his bosom, and said, "Shimei, I know you are good at both civil and military, and I have a book for you Give it to you as a present..."

"Oh? Mr. Ouyang sending books?" Huang Shimei became interested. Books were indeed expensive in Tang Dynasty, but it would be too shabby to give them away.However, Huang Shimei became interested instead.

Seeing that Huang Shimei's face was finally no longer indifferent, Ouyang Zhendong became even more excited: "Not long ago, when I was traveling in Chang'an, I happened to meet a generation of Wen Zong in Chang'an giving a lecture, and I was fortunate enough to listen to it from afar..."

In fact, Ouyang Zhendong went to Chang'an to take the Jinshi exam, but unfortunately, he lost his name to Sun Shan, so it can only be said to be traveling.Huang Shimei nodded, and Ouyang Zhendong continued:
"That man is highly sought after by scholars and scholars in Chang'an. On a snowy day, some people study his poems and articles hard. He is respected as 'Xu Zi', but he is less than twenty years old..."

This is because Huang Shimei has become more interested. She doesn't like Wen Feichai, but Wen Zong's level is another situation, and the requirements for martial arts can also be lowered. Huang Shimei asked: "Could it be that this book was written by Xu Zi?"

"Well, that's right, Xu Zi's antiphonal rhyme has written all the talents in the world..."

Xie Lingyun said that there are ten dou in the world, he has one dou, Cao Zhi has eight dou, and the people in the world share one dou.Huang Shimei nodded, her expectations for the book were much higher:

"I have accepted Mr. Ouyang's gift. May I ask what you can do with the little girl?"

"I really want to ask for something, I'm ashamed to say..." Ouyang Zhendong showed embarrassment: "Shimei, you also know that I have read a lot of poetry and books, but I don't have any skills, and it takes a lot of time to send money at home. ..."

"Oh, you and I have been friends for a long time, Brother Ouyang, let's stay here for now, and you can order the servants for the board and lodging..." Huang Shimei finally showed a smile, and Ouyang Zhendong knew that there was nothing else to say, so he retreated wisely It's down, but I'm still a little surprised by Huang Shimei's faint smile.

Huang Shimei picked up the book and gently opened the first page, which was Wang Yue's poem written by Xu Qing.The majestic momentum of this song Wangyue immediately attracted Huang Shimei...

It is said that after Xu Qing left Chang'an, there was quite a commotion.The Beijing officials were released, and Wenzong went to be the governor. Isn't this demoted?Seeing that their "mentor" was demoted, the Chang'an scholars were heartbroken one by one...

Writing letters, running around, engaging in a big series... In the end, I got an unexpected answer. Xu Qing asked for orders to go to Hebei on his own initiative.

why?
To save the people of Hebei from fire and water!
I don't believe it, the good Chang'an is not waiting, the official of Qingyao is wrong, go to Hebei?

If you don't believe me, that's good... Don't you know what Xu Zi said, "I would rather be a centurion than a scholar"?I haven't read this before, and I said it was a student of Xu Zi!

In this way, Xu Qing's reputation became more turbulent.Just last time, when the censors of the court participated in Xu Qing's "disgraceful clothes", although Li Yuan issued an edict to punish Xu Qing, within three days, those censors were also impeached one by one!
The reason is that the scholars are unwilling. They don't believe that Mr. Xu, who "works day and night", "sleeps long and sleeps at night", and "serves the country and the people", will do such tyrannical things. He was impeached on the grounds of "popular outrage".

"Xu Zi" was also printed by the group of Xu Qing's students in Chang'an at their own expense. Unexpectedly, they originally printed the book with the idea of ​​losing money, but they didn't expect to make a lot of money in the end.

These things are far away in Chang'an, so Xu Qing in Hebei doesn't know about them.

In the Huang family's mansion, Huang Shimei just happened to find the sentence "I would rather be a centurion than a scholar", and couldn't help shouting: "Good, good poetry!" She didn't have the slightest awareness of being a lady.

Huang Shimei read it carefully. After half a day, she turned to the last page. She thought it was gone, but Huang Shimei saw a picture of "Xu Zizun" on the last page.

This painting is from everyone at a glance. It is vivid and lifelike. It is the picture of Xu Qing spitting on the altar when he gave a lecture someday.It's just that the picture is still rough because of the times and printing.

"Huh? Why is this somewhat similar to Brother Xu!?" Huang Shimei also has good painting skills, and she can see that the charm in the painting is very similar to Xu Qing. She was surprised by the comparison: less than 20 years old, Changan, Xu Zi... Could it be? , is it really Brother Xu?
Huang Shimei felt that Xu Qing was "Xu Zi", but she couldn't believe it rationally: "Brother Xu has such a literary talent, this..."

Muttering, Huang Shimei hurriedly found out the landscape painting that Xu Qing had inscribed, and looked at Xu Qing's stinky handwriting with disgust.Resisting her disgust, Huang Shimei read on:
"Mountains are mountains, water is water
Mountains are not mountains, water is not water

Mountains are mountains, waters are waters”

"The word is indeed ugly, but these three sentences are quite Zen-like. What do they mean? What does the tadpole in the middle of the two sentences mean..." Huang Shimei couldn't understand Xu Qing's meaning even though she was smart.

But now, Huang Shimei has almost confirmed that Xu Qing is "Xu Zi" in her heart, and she only has to confirm it face to face.

Huang Shimei shook her head, she was really embarrassed to find Xu Qing.The last time I made a face towards Xu Qing and Xun Xueer and lost my temper, I offended the two future "bosses".

Originally, Huang Shimei didn't have much sense of gains and losses, but after reading Xu Qing's book, she completely fell in love with Xu Qing.

The more deeply you love, the more you worry about gains and losses.

The current plan is to let the elders in the family come forward.But those old men in the Huang family didn't want to see Huang Shimei marry Xu Qing as a concubine, so how could they help her?
There is no way to go back and forth, the responsibility has returned to Xu Qing:
"Dead Xu Qing, bad Xu Qing, philandering radish! It's all your fault, it's all your fault! Never... never call you big brother again..."

In the small village of Governor Guantian, Xu Qing hugged left and right, lazily resting under the tree to cool off, his nose itched:
"Haha!"

"Haha!"

"Haha!"

Sneezed three times in a row.Xun Xue'er covered her mouth and smiled, and said with some deep meaning: "Brother Xu, there is a saying that 'one voice is disgusting, two voices are disgusting, and three voices are full of love'. It seems that a girl misses you..."

"Oh? Could it be him?" Xu Qing asked doubtfully, but he lowered his head and pressed it against Xun Xueer's stomach to listen carefully. Seeing this, Xiaoyue also bent down with Xu Qing and listened closely.

"Xiaoyue, what are you listening to?" Xu Qing asked.

"Me, I will learn from Xue'er..."

"I'll let you have one another day, no, just today?"
