Wang Xuanji also glanced out the window casually, but she didn't find anything special. The Qiyun Pagoda of White Horse Temple was vaguely visible. Although it was famous, people in Luoyang had long been accustomed to it and didn't think it was of much interest.
At this time, Qin Liang spoke, but his voice was not loud. Wang Xuanji listened hard to hear it roughly.
He told Chaoyun: "These inner walls in Luoyang block the view and make people feel very unopened. I thought it would be better to live in a place with an attic, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that. There are always higher houses.
Block."
Chaoyun's voice said: "It's not high enough here."
Wang Xuanji thought about what Qin Liang said for a moment, and thought to herself: Is he using things to express his ambitions, and lamenting that the current official status is too low?
While she was thinking, she looked at Qin Liang for an opportunity, and saw that his expression was calm, but secretly a little depressed. She suddenly felt that her guess should be reasonable: he was probably an ambitious person.
Wang Xuanji wanted to look at him for a while, but she was afraid that it would be too obvious and make things too embarrassing. Today she asked Chao Yun to take her out. It was already very embarrassing to peek at others like this. She must not let him see it.
come out.
Wang Xuanji was a little angry and thought to herself: He doesn't even know that I exist, and he hasn't even heard of my name. Why should I take the initiative to provoke him with a shameless face? It's like I really want to get to know him.
However, Qin Liang's appearance is indeed very good. The main reason is that his dressing image is of a kind that Wang Xuanji likes. He has a small crown and a black cuffed deep robe. This kind of dress is neither seasonal nor fashionable, and looks very retro.
But Wang Xuanji was particularly dissatisfied with the fashionable clothes of some scholars nowadays, so she thought Qin Liang had a good temperament.
Recently, some scholars will wear a large shirt with half exposed shoulders, with two straps hanging on the shoulders, which looks very enchanting. Wang Xuanji was very disgusted when she saw such clothes. Fortunately, Qin Liang is not that kind of person.
Her father, Wang Ling, was also someone who wanted to follow Shi Xin. Originally, his father had been leading troops outside all year round and had little understanding of the Three Mysteries of the scholars in Yecheng, Luoyang. However, when naming her, he had to use the word "
The word "Xuan".
Wang Xuanji herself doesn't like Xuanyuan's studies, mainly because she hates those who wear semi-transparent shirts, and most of them like Xuanyuan's pure talk.
At this time Chaoyun's voice said: "Qin Jun's poem, I have shown it to others. It seems that the poem is not finished?"
Wang Xuanji glanced at the sound and suddenly became angry because the two men and women were looking at each other. Do they have to stare at each other? Wang Xuanji didn't know why she was so angry. Anyway, she just couldn't understand their expressions.
But she was a little gloating, and thought to herself: It's just a poem, and you can't see that it's only half of it? How dare you say that you got to know Qin Liang because you admire his articles? You can't even understand the poem, how can you understand it?
An article that uses allusions? I think you are not admiring the talent of the article, but you are just thick-skinned and trying to take advantage of others.
In contrast, Wang Xuanji could fully understand Qin Liang's article, and she immediately felt that her taste was better than Chaoyun's, and she felt a little better.
As expected, Wang Xuanji noticed from the corner of her eye that Qin Liang's expression changed slightly. He was a person with very stable emotions, so even subtle changes could be noticed.
Wang Xuanji suddenly felt funny: Chaoyun, you said it yourself, now you have been seen through. But there is no way, how much ink is in your belly will be exposed sooner or later.
Qin Liang then smiled slightly and said: "Liang has little talent and little knowledge. He originally read mostly scriptures and was not very good at poetry. It was only because Girl Chao Yun's sword dance that night was so amazing that he was so excited that he wrote such a poem.
A few good verses. Even if you ask me to add more later, I'm afraid it will only end at the end of the story. It's only half a poem. I hope the girl won't dislike it."
How humble.
Chao Yun shook his head slightly and just said thank you. As expected, Qin Liang quickly brought the topic to the "Book of Invitation to Lu Gongzhi to Dispute the Boundary". After talking for a few words, he knew what was interesting and stopped talking.
After a while, Qin Liang changed the subject and said: "Wang Gongyuan (Wang Guang) and Mrs. Bai get along well."
When Wang Xuanji heard that Qin Liang finally asked about the Wang family, she listened more intently.
Chao Yun said: "I'm not sure. I don't know the people in the prince's house very well. Why did Mr. Qin say that?"
Qin Liang said calmly: "On the afternoon of the second day after the incident, Wang Gongyuan came to the General's Mansion to complain. If Wang Gongyuan and Mrs. Bai weren't on good terms, why would he sue the General's Mansion for such a matter?"
Chaoyun said: "Mrs. Bai is indeed very kind to me."
At this moment, Qin Liang turned his head and his eyes suddenly turned here. Wang Xuanji didn't pay attention, her heart thumped, and she quickly looked away, pretending to be nonchalant.
But there was already a "dong dong dong" sound in her heart. The sound was so loud that she was afraid that people next door could hear it. Her face immediately became hot. There was no mirror here, but she didn't know if her face was already blushing.
Wang Xuanji glanced at the wine bottle on the table, immediately picked it up, poured a large glass, and poured it into her mouth. She had never drank alcohol before, and when she drank it, she felt the taste was so unpleasant that she almost vomited it out. Her behavior suddenly changed
My mood became so flustered that I didn't dare to look over there anymore.
After a while, there was a sound on the wooden ladder, and other guests came up. Chao Yun picked up the curtain hat beside the cushion and put it on his head.
Qin Liang's voice said at the right time: "I'll say goodbye here today, see you later."
Chaoyun said: "I will definitely come to visit you someday."
Qin Liang said: "We are always welcome in Humble House."
The two stood up and went down to the attic one after another. Wang Xuanji took a deep breath, stood up and stood in front of the window, looking down to observe them getting on the carriage. Unexpectedly, Qin Liang turned back again and glanced towards the attic. Wang Xuanji moved away.
, the figure moved, and hurriedly dodged behind the wall.
When Wang Xuanji went downstairs and walked out of the gatehouse of the theater, Qin Liang's carriage had already left. Wang Xuanji's car was still on the side of the road, and the driver was leaning on the wall not far away boredly. Wang Xuanji stepped forward and opened the tail curtain.
Sure enough, I saw Chaoyun sitting inside.
Chao Yun smiled and said, "He noticed the girl as soon as he came up."
"Really?" Wang Xuanji stepped onto the carriage and put her hand gently on her cheek. "It's the first time I drank. It tasted really bad." She paused for a moment and then asked, "Did you not talk about me after you walked out of the attic?"
Chao Yun shook his head and said, "Isn't the girl not allowed to speak? You can't be duplicitous, right?"
Wang Xuanji also shook her head and glanced at Chao Yun helplessly.
Chao Yun stopped smiling, suddenly became like an elder, and his tone became a little more serious, "Mrs. Bai treats me well. I always feel that my wife definitely doesn't want you to associate with Qin Liang."
Wang Xuanji frowned and said, "I told you, it's not what you think."
Chao Yun sighed and said, "That's good. This is the only time. I really can't take you to see him again."
Wang Xuanji curled her red lips and said: "Who cares? This man is very ordinary, he seems to be a bit poor. I am only interested in his articles and poems. His literary talent is indeed outstanding."
Wang Xuanji did not blame Chaoyun, because Chaoyun was not wrong. If Wang Xuanji had contact with Qin Liang, her mother Bai would of course object. She knew her mother's thoughts very well.
In Bai's mind, although Wang Xuanji was the daughter of a concubine and her mother's family background was not good, she was the daughter of Tinghou of Yicheng and General Zhengdong, and her surname was Wang. In addition, Bai felt that her daughter's beauty was rare,
It can completely make up for the weakness of her mother's humble background. Therefore, the Bai family's arrangement is that Wang Xuanji must marry a prince of the royal family. Even if it is not good, she must be a son of a noble family, with good land and mansions, and a family that has been an official for generations.
With a slightly humble image like Qin Liang, Bai was not willing to kill him, so there was no room for negotiation and compromise.
Wang Xuanji said angrily: "Then I'll go back."
Chaoyun said: "I came out with the girl, so I have to send you back." Then he called the driver to drive the carriage, and the two of them rode together.
The two sat facing each other in silence for a while. After a while, Wang Xuanji said a little disappointedly: "I thought you could dance with the sword today, and I happened to be lucky enough to watch it."
Chaoyun immediately responded: "Now that Madam Bai is so distinguished, there are so many singing girls and dancers in the house, so it is not convenient for me to teach them personally. I can't repay you. In the future, I can come to the house to teach singing and dancing. If you want to see my sword dance, there are plenty of opportunities for you."
Wang Xuanji nodded lightly, she raised her hand, and the lining sleeves slid back naturally from her smooth hands, revealing her white fingertips. She reached over and gently opened a corner of the curtain, staring blankly outside.
In fact, almost nothing can be seen outside, only walls. As Qin Liang said, these inner walls in Luoyang block the view and make people feel very unopened.
