Hello Chang’an

Chapter 114 Self-Evidence

 For a time, everyone who saw the painting had thoughts on their faces and discernment in their hearts.

Perhaps it just so happens that today Chang Suining is wearing a green skirt, and the girl in the painting is also in a green skirt, which makes it easier for people to associate the same place. Moreover, the two are indeed somewhat similar, so it is as if the person in front of you is the one in the painting.

What is more worthy of deep thought, or that does not require deep thought at all, is the red beans on the painting...

If this painting is indeed a gift from Mrs. Chang to Na Zhou Ding, it cannot be explained simply by the word "relief"...

How can you be innocent when you personally put red beans into paintings and give them to each other?

Listening to the murmurs of discussion, Hu Huan subconsciously said: "But... red beans are not only used to symbolize the relationship between men and women. Not to mention the distance, Wang Wei used red beans as a poem to express his sadness of farewell and longing for each other. , isn’t it given to my friend Li Guinian?”

"That's true, but that's because both Wang Wei and Li Guinian are men, so there is no need to explain more." Xi Zhiyuan looked at the girl in the whirlpool and said, "But Madam Chang is a woman. They are different and cannot be generalized.”

Hu Huan asked anxiously: "What should we do?"

You can't just watch Mrs. Chang being bullied like this!

In his opinion, regardless of whether Mrs. Chang had any feelings for the man named Zhou before, it was all in the past and had never hindered anyone. Furthermore, Mrs. Chang was the one who was almost killed, and now she was about to have to pay compensation. Going on a famous festival...this is bullying!

Hu Huan knelt down and hurriedly pushed the drunk Cui Lang who was lying on the small table and fell asleep: "Cui Liulangjun, wake up quickly!"

Cui Lang couldn't open his eyes at all. He waved his hands and muttered vaguely: "If you drink any more, you will get drunk. I can't embarrass myself in front of my elder brother..."

Hu Huan sighed anxiously: "Why is Mr. Cui Liulang so drunk at this critical moment?"

Yipot, who was sitting on his knees and serving his husband, also sighed: "Hu Langjun, you don't have to worry about this. After all, even if my husband is not drunk, he can't be of much help."

With Lang Jun's words, he might even cause more trouble.

Hu Huan: "..."

It seems so.

"Don't be anxious yet." Xi Zhiyuan still looked at the girl's figure and said, "No one person can say whether this is true or not. Mrs. Chang has not spoken yet."

Cui Jing, who had been standing beside Chang Kuo and was responsible for stabilizing Chang Kuo, turned his head slightly, looked across the crowd, and looked calmly at the young man who had come all the way from Dongluo Kingdom.

"The painting is already here...Does Mrs. Chang still want to renounce her relationship with my nephew?" The man raised his hand to wipe away his tears.

"Did I give this painting to Zhou Ding?" Chang Sui Ning asked Xi'er.

Xi'er immediately shook his head: "Of course not! The girl only wanted to help him, so the gift was naturally only a couple of silver coins!"

The girl had no other thoughts about Zhou Ding. The only one who had delusions from beginning to end was himself!

And it's not out of any pure and holy love between men and women, it's just that he wants to climb the girl's high tree!

It’s really unlucky to say that you’re already dead, and yet you’re here to ask for status!

Xi'er reiterated: "This painting was definitely not given to Zhou Ding by the girl!"

"You..." The man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You master and servant are singing together here... and you want to get away with it?"

This is to treat people as fools!

Wei Shuyi made a careful distinction.

It shouldn't be a chorus. He looked at Madam Chang as if she was really unsure - her mind was probably really bad.

The man holding the painting then cried: "...I took this painting today to find the whereabouts of my nephew, but who knew he had committed such a serious crime, and I dare not excuse him... But everything I said is true, and this painting is also true. The Chang family is so powerful, how can I bear the charge of slandering the honor of the Chang family’s wife? If I want to survive today, I’m afraid I can only ask you to speak justice for me. Talk!”

Faced with the man's desperate "help", everyone around had different reactions.

"enough!"

At the same moment, two voices overlapped.

Chang Kuo looked at the person who said the same thing at the same time as him -

The literati were all surprised to see that the person who stood up to speak was Tai Fu Chu, who is now the Minister of Rites.

"I don't know who's in the eyes of her apprenticeship banquet today?" The gray-haired Taifu Chu stepped forward, his thin figure still upright: "If you want to make trouble at the poetry meeting, use the poetry meeting The way to do it is to destroy it in a dignified manner! It’s nothing new and inferior, and it’s extremely annoying!”

"Who she associates with in private is her business. It is not the turn of unrelated people to be judged in front of others!" Taifu Chu glanced at the people around him, and his voice was old but still loud and clear: "One is a murderer. The person who was almost killed, harmed someone’s life before he did it, and now comes to ruin someone’s reputation. What kind of **** does this mean he climbed out of? "

He is not a nosy person, but he really can't stand it anymore!

Lao Qiao and the others are from the same family as this little girl. To avoid being found out about the inappropriateness of his words, it is not appropriate to say more for the time being, but he is not afraid!

It would be best if someone would impeach him for his slip of the tongue in the morning court tomorrow. It would be best if the position of the Minister of Rites is lost!

Thinking like this, Taifu Chu simply pointed at the man and cursed: "The sinister and ugly look on his face is disgusting, and his body is full of the smell of old wine. How can a scholar here act pitiful?"

"..." The man opened his mouth in confusion.

This rotten old man who looks respectable...why is he still attacking him?

It was quiet for a while.

"Brother Jin, hurry up..." The young man named Tan behind the ice basin stabbed his companion beside him.

The companion was puzzled: "What?"

"Write poetry!" The young man surnamed Tan said in a low voice: "It is a rare opportunity for Taifu Chu to come up with such wonderful words. Such poetry that expresses one's ambitions immediately is what Brother Jin is good at. If he produces a good work, he will be popular..."

The companion suddenly realized.

right!

I immediately rushed to find pen and paper.

Looking at the old man who was complaining for him, Chang Sui Ning was in a daze.

Although the teacher is old and often resentful, he is still her teacher and can be regarded as a teacher to everyone in the world.

During this interval, she asked Xi'er in a low voice: "Where should this painting be?"

There were many people and no chance to elaborate. Xi'er could only speak briefly and concisely, and replied in a voice that could not be lowered: "In the coffin."

"?" Chang Suining: "...is it far?"

Xi'er: "In Bingzhou..."

Chang Suining glanced at Cui Jing subconsciously.

Cui Jing was in charge of the post of governor of Bingzhou, the capital was the Shangdu, and Bingzhou, known as the northern capital, was thousands of miles away from the capital.

If someone were to trace why this painting appeared here, collect clues, and find witnesses, even if everything goes well, it would take ten days at least.

Ten days is too long, and the truth after ten days will no longer have much meaning, and no one will even listen to it.

And the fact that the painting that was supposed to be in Bingzhou appears here is enough to show that this plot against her has been set up for a long time, but it just happened to hit the good opportunity today - since it is a plot, ten days are enough for the rumors to develop to their full extent. Unbearable level.

So, it's too late.

Xi'er had obviously thought of this as well, feeling anxious in her heart: "Girl..."

She naturally knew all about the origin and ownership of the painting, but her words could not be used as evidence. She did not dare to speak nonsense before the girl spoke.

Chang Sui Ning, who had made up his mind, looked at Master Chu.

"What the Master said is true." She said: "The so-called innocence of a woman's reputation should not be left to others to judge. There is no standard for judgment. Even the existence of the word reputation is absurd and decadent."

Mrs. Xie frowned and sneered silently.

What shameless and arrogant words.

Shouldn't it be left to others to judge?

So can she shut up the whole world?

In the sight, the girl looked calm, and she said in a surprising way: "If Zhou Ding and I once had a so-called love between a man and a woman, there is nothing that cannot be admitted."

She regards honor as nothing, and has never thought of erasing or denying everything that belongs to Ah Li.

"But if you don't, you don't. There's no way I can accept this false reputation."

Ah Li's act of helping out was out of goodwill. Even though the boudoir girl didn't know people well and was deceived by others, she was indeed confused, but this was by no means the reason why Zhou Ding asked her to kill her -

She shouldn't be known as having an affair with a murderer after she was killed. This was a great humiliation for Ah Li.

There was no way she would let Ah Li expose herself to such a fictitious stigma, not even for a moment.

Chang Sui Ning stood in the middle of the second floor surrounded by people and looked around at the people in front of him. So she couldn't wait for ten days.

She wanted to completely cut off all possibilities of this stigma tonight, here, at this time, in front of everyone.

so-

"I didn't give this painting to Zhou Ding." She glanced at the picture of a girl with red beans and denied, "It's not from me either."

The painting in the other person's hand is real, but the words are false.

The person behind the scenes had been planning for a long time by using half-truths and half-falsehoods, knowing that she could not find any evidence to prove that her words were lies, so they decided that she would be unable to defend herself at this time.

Since she couldn't prove that the fake one was fake at this time, she would simply turn the real one into a fake one.

So she denied it again: "I never painted this painting."

Xi'er's breath was choked.

Although there is no need to be rigid in dealing with these villains with ulterior motives, but...is this feasible for the girl?

Will anyone believe it?

Will it be more troublesome if it is revealed that the girl lied?

Xi'er was so nervous that she was about to cry, but she didn't dare to show it—could the girl's head be up and down now?

wrong…

sack!

Xi'er suddenly thought of the sack that day.

Yes, a girl must do things for a reason!

Xi'er, who devoutly followed the "Sack Truth" in her heart, slowly calmed down.

Chang Suining's denial clearly reached the ears of everyone around him.

The man said excitedly: "Mrs. Chang really refuses to admit it...but Mrs. Chang's name is on it! It's written clearly!"

Chang Suining said calmly: "I said no, so it's no."

"Since Mrs. Chang said it's not the case, then it must not be the case." Mrs. Xie, who had been watching quietly, spoke up.

Chang Suining looked at her.

Wei Miaoqing also looked over, her eyes inexplicably wary—could Mrs. Jie be able to say such kind words to save someone from trouble? There shouldn't be any "buts" later, right?

Mrs. Jie said softly: "But empty words are always unfounded."

Wei Miaoqing gritted her teeth: "...!"

Just say it!

Mrs. Xie looked at Chang Suining with a fair and solemn expression: "After all, this painting is in front of everyone at this time. If Mrs. Chang wants to prove the truth of her words, she still needs to provide convincing evidence. ”

Chang Suining asked for advice: "In Mrs. Jie's opinion, what should the juniors do to prove themselves?"

"The most convincing method is for Madam Chang to paint a painting on the spot -" Mrs. Jie smiled slightly and looked at the people in the building: "There are many well-educated people here today, and there are also many who are proficient in calligraphy and painting. Madam Chang only needs to Make another painting and let the scholars identify it. If the two paintings are really not by the same person, the words of the famous scholars will naturally prove that Mrs. Chang is innocent, and no one will dare to question the nonsense. "

After a brief thought, many people nodded in agreement.

"This is a good idea..."

"Ms. Chang only needs to paint. Even if her paintings are similar, we will definitely be able to tell the difference!" someone assured.

"That's right... everyone's writing skills are different. Even if you are a skilled copyist, you can still see flaws in the subtleties."

Those subtle differences may easily deceive ordinary people, but among them there are calligraphy and painting masters who are famous in Dasheng, and there is also the great master Chu -

They have absolute confidence that they will not be confused by such works of boudoir girls.

Looking at the pair of eyes that were particularly enthusiastic because of her warm hospitality, Chang Sui Ning couldn't help but feel lucky that she was "fake" in the first place.

After everyone agreed, Mrs. Xie was very satisfied and looked at Chang Sui Ning again.

Not painting?

That means having a guilty conscience and not asking for it.

painting?

If it is deliberately painted in a bad way, it will never be possible to convince the public.

As for deliberately changing the writing style?

Mrs. Xie sneered in her heart.

If you look at this picture of a girl named Hong Bean, you can see that the other party is mediocre in talent and has no ability to hide things from others.

So what if everyone here is a guest at her apprenticeship banquet?

It is impossible for so many people to lie at the same time.

No one would risk lying to ruin their own reputation just for the sake of a mere little lady's reputation.

She wanted to see how arrogant and ignorant this little girl could be, and how long she could force herself to remain calm -

Amid everyone's echoes, she asked at the right time: "I wonder what Madam Chang wants?"

Chang Suining nodded: "This method is very good."

Mrs. Xie raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded.

Then she would wait and see.

Seeing his sister nodding, Chang Sui Anli said: "Come here, prepare paper and pen!"

If others don’t believe his sister, he certainly does!

The young man tried his best to hold back his energy, so he personally carried the book case over and placed it in the center of the second floor with a bang.

Yao Xia quickly stepped forward: "Sister Chang, let me grind it for you!"

"Let me lay the paper for Mrs. Chang!"

The girls gathered around.

Wei Miaoqing took a step forward and then pulled her foot back suddenly - strange, why did she want to step forward too!

Mrs. Xie looked at the group of girls and sneered in her heart again.

There was quite a crowd.

Today's lesson should help them grow together.

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, the girl in the green skirt took up her pen.

Due to the atmosphere, Yuanxiang wanted to bite his fingernails nervously.

But his own governor never gave him a chance to continue to be nervous.

Cui Jing, who finally let go of Chang Kuo, tilted her head slightly, lowered her eyes and whispered something to Yuan Xiang.

Yuan Xiang was slightly surprised.
