The Moon Over Tang Dynasty

Chapter 125: Such a chance encounter

Seeing the maid go in to report the letter, she smiled and opened the curtain when she came out: "Madam, please come in!"

Liuli looked at the swaying gauze curtain, frowned slightly, and said in a loud voice, "Eldest Princess, Liuli wants to see you!"

 “Come in!” The eldest princess’s voice sounded unexpectedly. Liuli was startled, then composed herself and walked in. But he saw the eldest princess sitting on the banquet, leaning on a table. There were some calligraphy, paintings and silk scrolls piled on the table in front of her. The person next to her, bowing her head and serving with a smile, was Mrs. Cui.

Seeing Liuli coming in, the eldest princess smiled faintly, "The first thing I looked at was your painting. It's really interesting. Although it's ink, it seems to have color, but I don't know how you painted it?"

Liuli didn't feel relaxed in her heart. Instead, she became more and more confused. She could only smile and said, "It's nothing. I just need to pay more attention to the difference between dry and moist ink when painting."

The eldest princess smiled and said, "Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. I wonder if you can draw one for me to see?" She pointed to the east side of the hall and said, "pens, inks, paper and inkstones have been prepared for you there."

Liuli took a look and saw a high desk over there, with papers and ink neatly arranged on it. She knew she couldn't shirk it, so she nodded in agreement, turned to Cuizhu and said, "Come here. Help me sharpen my ink."

The eldest princess did not argue and pointed two maids to lay the paper. Liuli stood in front of the desk, picked up the pen and concentrated for a moment, then dipped in ink and started writing. The ink lotus she painted is actually closer to the Yuan Dynasty's meticulous ink painting of flowers and birds. It is delicate and elegant, but it takes some effort to paint seriously. At this time, she can't ask for meticulous work. She just uses the brush to quickly outline and blend the colors, and it only takes a moment. , a lotus flower has appeared on the paper.

The eldest princess had already walked to Liuli, took the Xuanzhou paper in her hand, nodded and said, "I see, you can draw another one." Liuli had to draw another one, and then the eldest princess was satisfied and smiled. He said, "What a great writing skill!"

Ms. Cui suddenly said, "Oh, why is the aunt's skirt stained with ink?"

Liuli lowered her head and took a look. Sure enough, the side of her skirt that was close to the two maids laying the paper was stained with ink stains. She heard Ms. Cui calling again, "Hurry and get a new monofilament." Bi Luoqun, come here!" She said hurriedly, "No need to bother!"

Mrs. Cui said with a smile, "It's just a skirt. Why are you so polite, ma'am? I'll wash this dress and give it to you." The eldest princess also said, "Exactly, it turned out that I asked you to draw lotus flowers before dyeing them." A skirt, a blue skirt, but it’s not worth anything.”

Liuli smiled slightly, reached out and took off the heavy green silk lotus leaf skirt, spread it on the desk, and without thinking, she picked up the pen and drew it. After a while, the ink stain turned into a group of large and small butterflies. This falling ink butterfly was originally her favorite pen and ink game. The butterflies are of different sizes, but the thickness of the brush strokes match each other. Looking at each one, she feels that they are about to fly and are extremely vivid. After the ink is dry, tie the skirt to the outside of the plain gauze petticoat. Her skirt originally had several ink lotus flowers in the lower left corner, but now there is a butterfly on the right side, which adds a bit of uniqueness.

The eldest princess and Ms. Cui looked at each other. Ms. Cui nodded and said with a smile, "It turns out that the lotus on this skirt is also painted! If I exchanged the blue skirt for the aunt's skirt, it would seem like I was deliberately greedy for the aunt's good things. go."

Liuli smiled and said, "If Atui likes it, I can help you draw ten or eight of them. But since today is the hibiscus banquet, we have to adapt to the occasion. My whole body, that is, this skirt has some relationship with hibiscus, but now it has nothing to do with hibiscus." It’s not easy to replace.”

The eldest princess smiled and waved her hand, "At Cui, you are a petty person. You want to favor the good things of my aunt, but you don't tell me directly. It's fine. You go to entertain the guests. I have a few more words to ask my aunt."

Ms. Cui said sorry to Liuli, smiled and exited the door. The eldest princess said, "I met Yu Nu before I went to the central hall today. How come you are so thin in less than a month?"

Liuli smiled respectfully and said, "To the eldest princess, Yu Nu and Xue Nu have made arrangements personally as promised, so I'm afraid of treating them badly. Now they live in the best courtyard in the mansion except the upper room. Everyone They have assigned two maids to serve, and there is only one less person than me. The food and clothing expenses are all lower than mine. On weekdays, besides going out with me, I don’t have to do anything else. Speaking of which, Xue Nu. It's more plump, and A Cui also knows about Yu Nu, but he was ill half a month ago, and although he has recovered now, there are still some traces of it. "

The eldest princess said calmly, "Since she is sick, why did you take her everywhere to visit these days? Although this person is not worth anything, it can last a long time if you take good care of her. Besides, if people see you ordering her around like this Man, wouldn’t it also damage the Pei family’s reputation?”

Liuli smiled and nodded, "Liuli has learned a lesson."

The eldest princess was slightly surprised. She thought for a while and then said, "You also know that it is difficult to keep a promise and have an heir. You should think more about spreading the branches and leaves for him. The person I selected for you is appropriate, and the body contract is also I've given it to you, are you still worried? I heard that I haven't even touched her in these days - if this woman is too jealous, it won't be a good thing!" As he spoke, his tone became increasingly serious.

Liuli smiled even more modestly, "The eldest princess has taught you the right lesson. Liuli will give you good advice when she gets back and keep the promise." At this time, it would not be offensive to say soft words, so she was stupid to talk back!

The eldest princess had prepared a long speech, but she couldn't say a word. Her eyes were slightly cold, but her smile was still warm, and she chatted with Liuli for a long time. Liuli was always a "good" character, but she just felt that The cheeks gradually became sour from the smile. With great difficulty, the eldest princess glanced outside and said, "You are a well-behaved person. I'm relieved. I won't stay with you much today. You can go ahead." Suddenly she smiled again and said, "I haven't seen you sisters for many days." Now, it’s time for her to send you off—Coral!”

In response, Coral quickly walked out of the back room, walked to Liuli's side, bowed slightly and said, "Sister," and came up to hold one of Liuli's arms. Liuli could only smile and excused herself to the princess, taking a step away from her without leaving any trace.

 Coming out of the small courtyard, along the winding bluestone path is the way to Pinfang Garden. Coral took a step forward, took Liuli's arm affectionately, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen my sister for a long time. Coral really misses her a lot." Liuli almost shuddered, and finally could bear it, but when she saw Coral's One of the two maids led the way with a smile, and the other followed Cuizhu. Liuli vaguely recognized the two that were given by "Uncle" Coral. She couldn't help but glanced at Coral and smiled and said, "Your maid really needs it." , I am actually more familiar with the roads in this house than you." Coral eyebrows moved slightly, but a cheerful smile immediately appeared on her face, "Sister, I was joking."

Liuli looked at the unforced smile in her eyes, her heart trembled slightly, and she wanted to pull her hand away, but Coral's whole body seemed to be firmly stuck to her arm.

Liuli couldn't help but frowned, and looked around. She saw that one side of the path was a peach forest with lush foliage, only covered by green leaves, and the other side was a five-six-foot-wide waterway made of bluestone, with clear and shallow water. , the sound of water is clearer and clearer. Just as he was looking for a way to escape, a man suddenly muttered vaguely from the corner ahead, "Where on earth are you?"

Liuli was startled and felt that the voice seemed somewhat familiar. She suddenly stopped and heard a woman's voice laughing, "My wife is right in front. She just wants to inquire about something, and she will definitely not delay her husband's time." !”

The male voice became more and more vague, "Why do I feel like I've been going around for half a day?" Amidst the sound of footsteps, a maid in yellow led an unsteady man in green around the corner. It was Pei Yan! But the originally fair face was covered with redness, and there was only a daze between his usually serious brows.

Liuli's heart suddenly brightened as she looked at this face that was obviously a little delirious.

When the maid saw Liuli, her eyes lit up. She turned around and smiled at Pei Yan, "Mr. Sir, please look, my wife is right there!" As she said that, she was about to pull him forward, but Pei Yan subconsciously shook her off. Hand, squinting his eyes, he seemed to recognize Liuli, nodded, and staggered over, "Are you looking for me? Why are you looking for me? What do you want to ask me?"

Coral's eyebrows were completely relaxed, she turned her head and smiled at Liuli, "Sister is really capable. She came to my husband's elder's house as a guest, and she even made a private appointment with her old lover!" As she spoke, she held Liuli's arm tightly with her fingers. They were clasped together, their eyes flashing with light.

Liuli also had a smile on her face, "Coral, I'm offended."

Coral was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a sharp pain came from her feet. She couldn't help but scream, staggered back several steps, and sat down on the ground.

Liuli lowered her head and looked at the pair of sparrow-head shoes on her feet. These shoes were made of hardwood. She put them on with great difficulty, but she didn't expect them to be put to such a use! She turned her head and shouted to Cuizhu, who was already stunned, "What are you still doing? Go and stop Pei Erlang! Someone is trying to harm him!"

Cuizhu woke up with a start, stuffed the bundle in her hand into Liuli's arms, rushed forward and stopped in front of Pei Yan, "Lang Jun! Go back quickly!"

Color Xuexue cried out in pain and couldn't get up for a while. The expressions of her two maids changed slightly, and they ran towards Liuli one after the other. Liuli did not hesitate, lifted up her skirt, rushed to the roadside in one step, jumped into the clear stream that was only more than a foot high, waded over in a few steps, and climbed up to the stone bank on the other side using her hands and feet.

　　The people here were all stunned for a moment. They never expected that she would not run into the peach grove on the roadside, but would instead do such an unbelievable behavior. She dived into the water and climbed up the bank again. She was rude and embarrassing and indescribable. But she saw Liuli clinging to a branch on the other side of the bank with her hands, pulling it down as hard as she could, breaking it off and holding it in her hand. She turned around and sneered, "Which of you is not afraid of being slapped in the face by me? You might as well come over and try." try!"

Pei Yan rubbed his eyes, laughed, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go there!"

Cuizhu couldn't help but lose consciousness and grabbed Pei Yan's arm tightly, "Lang Jun, you can't go!"

Pei Yan was a little impatient, so he pulled Cuizhu's hand with all his strength, and finally pulled away, pushing her aside. As soon as he took a step forward, Cuizhu jumped forward and hugged his feet tightly. During the entanglement, Cuizhu's clothes and hair were all scattered in the blink of an eye, and she was even more embarrassed than Liuli, whose skirt was half wet on the other side of the waterway.

Color's two maids looked at each other and nodded. They each suddenly screamed and screamed. They helped Coral and ran to the Pinxiang Garden. Almost in the blink of an eye, the sound of footsteps was heard, and someone shouted loudly, "Zilong, Zilong!" Seven or eight young men were seen running over panting. The first one was Pei Ruzhuo. .
