The Moon Over Tang Dynasty

Chapter 122 Secretly advises the charming girl to identify opportunities

Changsun Xiang stood at the door of the hall, almost unable to believe his eyes: that light blue tall back was indeed Shangguan's sister, but the person standing next to her, talking and laughing with her, was not that hateful one. Who else could Cudi be? We haven’t seen her for half a year, and this fox girl looks even more elegant. She wears a light pink single silk blouse and a long blue lotus leaf skirt. It’s not an unusual outfit, but the ink lotus flowers on the skirt are extremely elegant and vivid. , which seemed to make that charming face a bit more beautiful.

Thinking of her sarcastic words that day, the queen's helpless expression when she mentioned her, and her shamelessness in wanting to sit with him at the same table this time, Zhang Sunxiang felt a burning anger in his chest, and he raised his legs to He went over to teach her a few words, but Ms. Liu next to her grabbed her and shook her head slightly.

Changsun Xiang was startled for a moment, and then suddenly realized that he was in the eldest princess's courtyard. With his own seniority, he could not be too rude to the Kudi she invited, so he could only suppress his anger. But I heard Zheng Lengniang on the other side say with great interest, "Sister, is this Aunt Kudi who is with Sister Guan?"

Zheng Wanniang said lightly "Hmm", Zheng Lengniang clicked her tongue twice and lowered her voice, "She really has a good face, and the skirt is really elegant and tight."

Changsun Xiang couldn't hold it in any longer and snorted coldly, "How can I be a foxy girl without good looks?" Before she finished speaking, she felt someone tugging at her sleeve. When she looked back, it was her aunt Shiliu. Mother, she couldn't help but frown and said coldly, "I have my own sense of discretion!"

Yang Sixiniang's face turned slightly pale, and she quickly let go of her hand. However, she saw Mrs. Liu turning her head and smiling comfortingly at her, and her face became a little better.

Mrs. Cui on the side laughed in a low voice, "Auntie is very friendly with people. Just now I talked for a long time, and she was sitting alone at the table here glumly. In the blink of an eye, she was having such a good conversation with Liluo. ”

Changsun Xiang couldn't help frowning more tightly, and walked over with a cold face. Shangguan Liluo turned around and took a step forward, smiling, "Xiang'er, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, why have you grown so much? I almost didn't recognize you. Come." Shangguan Liluo had taught Changsun Xiang poetry for more than a year. This affectionate name fell into Changsun Xiang's ears. She couldn't help but feel relaxed, and took Shangguan Liluo's hand, "Sister Shangguan, You haven’t seen me for a long time!”

They were all acquaintances and greeted each other with smiles. Women who were familiar with Zheng Lengniang and Liu also came over to meet each other. The hall was filled with the sounds of coquettishly smiling sisters.

Liuli calmly took two steps back, but saw that among the people who came, except Yang Liuniang, who was nodding to her, a beautiful girl next to Zheng Wanniang also looked at her with a smile. Her eyes were full of curiosity, and she immediately guessed Reaching her identity, he smiled and nodded to her. The bright eyes suddenly narrowed with a smile, and a small dimple appeared in the left corner of the mouth.

Chang Sun Xiang on the other side was a little impatient. He didn't care that Shangguan Liluo was looking for Zheng Lengniang to tease her, so he pulled Shangguan Liluo to the side, frowned and whispered, "Sister Shangguan, why are you talking to that shameless vixen?" Did you mention something?"

Shangguan Liluo raised his eyebrows in surprise, shook his head and said, "Where do you start talking about this? I think that although this Kudis has such a good reputation, he is also smart and decent in his words and actions, and he is not a frivolous person."

Chang Sunxiang sneered, "She's not frivolous. She's not frivolous enough to say that she wants to be the chief, and she doesn't care about her status! Sister Cui didn't let her sit, and she was depressed for a long time!"

Shangguan Liluo couldn't help but laugh out loud, and looked back at Ms. Cui, who was socializing with others, "Did she really say that? Could it be that everyone in this room just now was deaf?" ?”

Changsun Xiang was startled and couldn't answer the words. Shangguan Liluo smiled and changed the topic, "Speaking of which, today I saw with my own eyes the maid given by the eldest princess. Her appearance is very similar to that of Qiniang from the Lu family. ”

Chang Sun Xiang had naturally heard of this, so he turned around to look for it. Shangguan Liluo sighed, "Don't look at it. He must have been taken away long ago. Otherwise, how could he be decent?"

Changsun Xiang nodded and said, "Exactly! It's too unseemly for a step-in-law to use a maid who is so similar to the first lady!"

Shangguan Liluo laughed dumbly and patted the back of Changsun Xiang's hand, "Xiang'er, you are 13 years old this year, but you have to think more about it when you encounter problems."

Changsun Xiang was stunned. She was used to being pampered by everyone. It was rare for someone to talk to her like this. Seeing Shangguan Liluo turn around and leave, and seemed to turn around and smile at the Kudi family, she couldn't help but feel more depressed. When she walked to Mrs. Liu, she was about to say something, but she heard another sound of joking from the door. She looked up and saw a few unfamiliar figures walking in. Mrs. Cui, who was joking with Ms. Liu, hurriedly turned around and greeted them. "Cen Niang, Yu Niang, and Eight Niangs, you came too late, you deserve to be punished!" Changsun Xiang couldn't help but ask Mrs. Liu, "Who are those people?"

Mrs. Liu glanced at it for a few times, then turned to Changsun Xiang and said, "They are the daughter and daughter-in-law of Captain Xima Peipei. I remember she is a branch of the Bolingcui family. There is also a sister who seems to be hers and is associated with our family." It’s not too much.” He frowned and muttered to himself, “His family is quite complete this year.”

Changsun Xiang thought for a long time, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "It turned out that the Pei family who wanted to take the Kudi family as a concubine like cousin Ruzhuo did, is it from his family?"

Mrs. Liu suddenly understood and couldn't help laughing, "That's it!" Seeing Mrs. Cui move Cui Cenniang and Pei Baniang among the three people to the second seat, and Cui Yuniang was placed at the head of the next seat next to them, His heart became brighter, and he glanced at Liuli who was standing aside, with a mocking smile in his eyes.

 I heard Mrs. Cui slightly raising her voice and laughing, "It's getting late now. The eldest princess will be here soon. Everyone, please take a seat."

After a burst of commotion, everyone sat down according to the seats they had arranged. As soon as they calmed down, they heard a voice laughing, "Since we said goodbye at the flower party, Aunt Kudi seems to be a completely different person now, which is really gratifying. "Congratulations." The sound was not loud, but everyone heard it clearly in the silence. Looking around, the speaker was Cui Yuniang, who was sitting at the second seat at the east end. Liuli was only two feet away, looking like she was smiling all over her face, but the ridicule in her words was more obvious than the smile.

Cui Cenniang couldn't help but be startled. She didn't expect that the girl didn't listen to what she said on the way here. She turned around and saw a slight smile on Ba Niang's face, and she couldn't help but sigh. Just as he was about to speak, Liuli smiled and replied, "It's only been two years, and Liuli is naturally still the same Liuli as before. Yu Niang looks different. Maybe the way Yu Niang looks at Liuli is not the same as before."

Cui Yuniang suddenly choked, and the Eighth Lady on the side covered her mouth and smiled, "This is quite reasonable. If I had known that I would call you sister-in-law now, how could she have dared to punish you to paint so unforgivingly?"

Sitting on the second table with the three people was the daughter of Pei Xuan, the eldest son of Pei Ju, another prime minister of Xijuan Pei. Seeing that she was arranged to sit with the Kudi family, she was a little unhappy, and she had heard a little about what happened back then. , also smiled and said, "It's hard to say how lucky you are in life. Who would have expected such a bizarre funeral?"

Liuli looked at the smiling faces in the room, and those malicious smiles from the flower fighting party seemed to reappear in front of her eyes. A trace of anger arose spontaneously, and she nodded and smiled lightly, "Indeed, when you are alive, no matter what family you are born in, The surname and the family into which you marry are just two words of fate, which are unpredictable and nothing to say. "

Her slightly cold voice flowed in the room. Many people were stunned, savoring the meaning of her words. They felt indescribably uncomfortable in their hearts, but for a moment they didn't know how to respond.

Cui Cenniang hurriedly smiled and said, "Auntie's words are somewhat Zen-like. She said that all the events in the future are indeed just causes and conditions, but they are not something we can see through."

Cui Yuniang had come back to her senses at this time and sneered, "The so-called fate, I remember the sage once said that fate in life is like a flower blooming and falling, falling on the ground like dirt, or falling on the mat like brocade, naturally it is not unusual. The strange thing is that the thing that was originally in the mud came to the table again for some reason. Unfortunately, the beauty has not become the beauty, and the mud has not become the mud, but I don’t know what it is.”

Suddenly there was a sound of snickering in the hall, Liuli also laughed, and said in a manly voice, "Nature is still mud. If we look forward, which flower does not grow from the mud? If we look at it later, it will fall into the mud. After a few days, the maid shakes off the flowers and turns them into soil. After all, what difference does it make if the flowers accidentally fall on the table and feel complacent that they are no longer soil? Very interesting."

Cui Yuniang's face suddenly looked a little ugly. She wanted to retort, but she was at a loss for words. Liuli still said unhurriedly, "Liuli has little knowledge. He only heard one sentence but he never forgot it - all things in this world are just dust returning to dust." , Earth returns to earth, flowers are like this, people are like this, and everything in the world is like this.”

At this time, we were not far away from the Six Dynasties, and talking about Xuanyan was still an elegant thing. Although this sentence was simple, it was quite clever. The hall suddenly became quiet. Shangguan Liluo, who was sitting on the second seat in the west, sighed. "This is a profound statement. I wonder who said it?"

Liuli vaguely remembered that Catholicism seemed to be called Nestorianism at this time, so he smiled and said, "He is a Huren mage from Nestorianism, but I don't know his name."

Zheng Lengniang, who was sitting opposite Liuli, had been listening with a smile, and nodded at this time, "Although the words are simple, they are worth savoring. Six words seem to be more thorough than hundreds of mysterious words, which makes people pause. I felt like I was thinking about this relic and realized what I had learned."

Cui Yuniang's face became darker and darker, and she said coldly, "I think it's just a common saying that the barbarians say casually. What's the deep meaning?"

Cui Cenniang glanced at her sister and said with a smile, "What a common saying. You are a common person, so naturally you can't understand the deep meaning."

Cui Yuniang wanted to say more, but she saw that her sister's eyes were already stern. She also knew in her heart that Shangguan Liluo and Zheng Lengniang were both talented and well-known, and their family popularity was not even half worse than hers. She was afraid that they would take them with them. , but it didn't go well, so she had no choice but to endure her anger and turned to Liuli and smiled, "Three days apart, we should treat each other with admiration. It turns out that Aunt Kudi not only has a chance, but also has wisdom."

Liuli just smiled and bowed, "Thank you, Lady Yu."

Cui Yuniang suddenly felt like she was being punched in the air. She was about to say something more, but the gentle voice of the maid came from the back hall, "The eldest princess of Linhai has arrived!"
