Chapter 687:-for-tat
Gao Moyan has been sitting on the seat of the female dependents of the western head, and there is a brocade screen of flowers and birds between the position where Wang Yuan is sitting. For what happened in the Agarwood Pavilion, he only heard his voice and did not see his person, which made Gao Moyan very depressed. From time to time, she left the table and poked her brain outside the screen, which caused the other official ladies and ladies on the table to frequently look sideways.
After the ladies and daughters talked to each other, when they learned that it was Wang Yuan's family, they whispered and felt sorry for Wang Yuan. Such a handsome young man married such an uneducated man. And she is so tall, her legs are so long, and her figure is so thin, I don't know how Wang Jiedu took a fancy to her, she is not round and jade at all, and she does not have the charm of a Tang woman at all.
Gao Moyan didn't care, she was sitting on pins and needles at the table, listening to these ladies and ladies discussing the style and color of clothes, the style of jewelry, whose new pollen and flowers were yellow, and whose eyebrows and flowers had come up with new tricks recently, Gao Moyan was not interested in these things, so it was crazy to listen.
Finally, an attendant hurriedly walked from the Agarwood Pavilion, came to the screen, and asked in a deep voice to the two tables of female banquets: "May I ask which one is the wife of Wang Yuan's envoy?" ”
Gao Moyan hurriedly jumped up, raised his white arms and shouted, "I, I, it's me." ”
The chamberlain frowned, and said in his heart: "How can the wife of the envoy of Wang Jiedu be so ignorant of the rules and shout. ”。 The ladies and ladies also covered their mouths and snickered.
"Please move to the pavilion, Your Majesty and the concubine are waiting to listen to the new song presented by Wang Jiedu and his wife." The chamberlain bowed.
"Uh-oh." Gao Moyan hurriedly left the table, and when he left the table, he didn't know whether he was intentional or panicked, and casually knocked over the wine cup and two plates, and the two noble ladies around him screamed and dodged, but they were already messed up by the wine and vegetable soup.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Your Majesty is waiting to summon me, and I'll compensate you for your clothes when I come back." Gao Moyan hurried away, leaving the two noble ladies trembling angrily.
Gao Moyan smiled like a flower on his face, and said in his heart: Let the two of you talk about me behind my back just now, and roll your eyes at me, so that you know how powerful this girl is. Anyway, no matter how expensive your dress is, it won't be my turn to pay compensation, so let's make a fool of yourself tonight.
Wang Yuan looked at Gao Moyan and hurriedly arrived, gave her a bright smile, and said in a deep voice: "I've seen Your Majesty and the concubine Niangniang." ”
Gao Moyan bowed to Xuanzong and the noble concubine, and Xuanzong smiled and said, "Wang Yuan, is this your wife?" I forgot to reward your wife and concubine this time. Then I will reward you now, and make your wife the second lady of the command. ”
Wang Yuan just wanted to stop it, but it was too late. I can't stop complaining in my heart, what's going on? This Gao Moyan is not his wife, but he has been named a second-grade wife, this is Li Xin'er's title. But now it is too late to explain anything, so many people are present, it is very troublesome to explain, and I can only return to His Majesty afterwards to explain the reason.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you for your subordinates." Wang Yuan said loudly.
Gao Moyan was stunned, and Wang Yuan said in a low voice: "Don't thank you yet?" ”
"But ......," Gao Moyan said.
"Don't do it, go back and thank you on your knees." Wang Yuan urged.
Gao Moyan was helpless, so he had to thank His Majesty and the concubine for their kindness again. Everyone could see that Wang Yuan's wife was a little stunned. Although she was born beautiful, she was too tall and too thin, so she was not a standard Tang beauty. Many officials have been satisfied in their hearts, although Wang Yuan is a prosperous official, so what? His wife is not as comfortable as his own wife, and he has a way to defeat him after all, and it is not a good thing to teach this kid to go alone.
Gao Moyan thanked him and peeked around, but when he saw more than a hundred pairs of eyes staring at him, he remembered that there were not only His Majesty the Tang Dynasty and the noble concubine Niangniang, but also so many high-ranking officials in the court, and he was suddenly a little at a loss. In particular, the gaze of a beautiful lady sitting in the second place on the left was unusually sharp, and there seemed to be a slight hostility in her eyes.
"Madam, today's concubine Niangniang, let's dedicate my new song to Niangniang. Do you want to drink tea to moisten your throat? You're going to sing later. Wang Yuan smiled.
Gao Moyan saw Wang Yuan's warm gaze, the panic in his heart calmed down a little, and he was about to speak, when he heard the beautiful lady with blazing eyes get up and smiled: "Wang Jiedu, of course, I want Mrs. Zun to moisten her throat, come, Mrs. Wang, drink some tea to moisten your throat." ”
Mrs. Qin Guo personally picked up the tea and stood up, left the table and came to Wang Yuan and Gao Moyan, and handed the tea to Gao Moyan with a smile.
"How dare you work Mrs. Guo, don't dare to be it, don't dare to be. Madam, this one is my Mrs. Qin of the Tang Dynasty. Wang Yuan said busily.
Gao Moyan opened his mouth and turned into an oh shape, looking at Wang Yuan and looking at Mrs. Qin Guo with a look of sudden realization. In his heart, he secretly praised Mrs. Qin Guo's beauty and noble temperament, no wonder Wang Yuan and this woman were mixed up, it turned out to be such a beautiful woman.
"I've seen Mrs. Qin Guo. Thank you very much. I don't have to drink the tea, and my throat doesn't need to be moistened. Gao Moyan didn't know where he got the courage, and suddenly became neither humble nor arrogant, and refused Mrs. Qin's tea.
Mrs. Qin Guo was a little surprised, but she immediately laughed, turned to Wang Yuan and said, "Wang Jiedu makes this lady very good, very discerning." ”
Wang Yuan was speechless about Gao Moyan's behavior, what kind of nerve was this, he actually refused the tea sent by Mrs. Qin Guo in front of so many people. So he stretched out his hand to take the tea and drank it all and said, "Thank you Mrs. Qin Guo for the tea, my wife doesn't need to moisten her throat, but I need it." ”
Mrs. Qin Guo took the empty cup, leaned into Wang Yuan's ear and whispered and gritted her teeth: "Where did this woman come from, why did she become your wife again." Don't you think I don't know what your lady looks like, when did you change your wife hide it? ”
Wang Yuan hurriedly whispered: "I'll tell you when I go back, hey, it's messed up." ”
Mrs. Qin Guo smiled and said, "Who rarely knows, love to say it or not." Your lady has a lot of temper, so she is so angry, don't make jokes. ”
Wang Yuan smiled bitterly and was speechless, Mrs. Qin Guo will also eat flying vinegar, every time there is an extra woman around her, Mrs. Qin Guo will be sarcastic about herself for a while, it seems that this is going to be vinegar again.
"If you give a song to the concubine, then it will be faster? Your Majesty, Niangniang, and everyone here are waiting to listen, but they are not here to see you flirting. A loud and gruff voice sounded, startling everyone present.
It was An Lushan who spoke, he did not hide the jealousy in his eyes, watching Mrs. Qin Guo take the initiative to leave the table to flirt with Wang Yuan, An Lushan was angry. If this Mrs. Qin Guo had half a good eye for herself, he would be better. But since I saw Mrs. Qin Guo to now, I have glanced at this beautiful Mrs. Guo many times, but the eyes of this Mrs. Guo are on Wang Yuan all the time. In her eyes, I'm afraid that I'm not even as good as a horse dung ball, which is the most hateful. Sure enough, the rumor that Mrs. Qin Guo had a leg with Wang Yuan was true, and in front of the court, it was not taboo in front of the concubine and His Majesty, and in front of the ministers. An Lushan couldn't bear it.
As soon as An Lushan's words came out, all the officials suddenly became excited, stretching their necks and staring at each other, waiting to see the reaction of Wang Yuan and Mrs. Qin Guo. An Lushan is really bold, saying that Wang Yuan and Mrs. Qin Guo flirted and scolded each other, wouldn't it be a public accusation that these two people had adultery.
Mrs. Qin's face changed, she frowned and looked at An Lushan coldly and said, "General An, what did you say?" ”
An Lushan smiled nonchalantly: "Madame didn't hear it, forget it, I won't repeat it again." Madame wanted to know, and turned back to ask the people. ”
Mrs. Qin Guo wanted to reprimand An Lushan angrily, but when she thought that today was a good day for the concubine, she didn't want to make a fuss. Leave with a puff of sleeves.
Wang Yuan said in a low voice: "Madame, look at me humiliating An Lushan." ”
Mrs. Qin Guo said in a low voice: "Today's occasion is not to be like him. ”
Wang Yuan smiled: "Don't worry, I have measure." ”
Mrs. Qin Guo sat down, and An Lushan smiled triumphantly. Wang Yuan smiled: "Is General An in a hurry?" His Majesty and the concubine didn't urge, but General An was more anxious than His Majesty and the concubine. The anxious ones are talking nonsense. ”
An Lushan laughed and said: "Your Majesty and Niangniang are cultivated people, I, An Lushan, am a rough person, I can't wait to say it, unlike people with cultivation who can hold back and not say it." Besides, I'm not talking nonsense, everyone has seen it, I really envy the king's envoys, and I have done the best in the world. After eating the bowl, the pot is still dominant. ”
The officials covered their mouths and snickered, this An Lushan guts is not ordinary fat, and he is still insinuating sarcasm. Mrs. Qin's face turned pale with anger, and Concubine Yang also frowned. On the contrary, Xuanzong seemed to be very interested and watched with a smile, and took this matter as fun. Xuanzong himself is a merry person, and he has also heard about the matter between Mrs. Qin Guo and Wang Yuan, but he doesn't care about it, and he can't say anything because he is afraid that the concubine will be embarrassed. But today, An Lushankou is unobstructed, but he said something for Xuanzong that he couldn't ask, Xuanzong is very similar to know the truth of this matter, and it is not a big deal to joke about this matter.
Wang Yuan still had a smile on his face, but his voice became cold: "I really didn't expect General An to be a curious person, who likes to talk about people behind his back and spy on other people's privacy?" ”
"I'm not interested in other people's privacy, there are some things that don't need to be spied on at all, the city is full of discussions, do I still need to pry?" An Lushan laughed.
Wang Yuan said: "Does General An also like to talk about your parents and elders at home?" ”
An Lushan was stunned for a moment and said: "Wang Jiedu envoy, what are you talking about?" Let's talk, how do we talk about the parents and elders in the family? That's not right for you. ”
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "General An also agrees that the matter of parents and elders can't be talked about, right?" ”
"Of course, that's unfilial." An Lushan Road.
Wang Yuan smiled: "But didn't General An do something unfilial just now?" ”
An Lushan frowned and said angrily: "What do you mean? Wang Yuan, don't be open-mouthed, I know that Your Majesty is good to you, and you can't talk nonsense here with pampering and spoiling. Your Majesty, did you hear that? Let's talk well, why did Wang Yuan start attacking me for not being filial. ”
Xuanzong looked at Wang Yuan and said, "Wang Yuan, don't talk nonsense. ”
Wang Yuan arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister didn't talk nonsense, General An showed his unfilial piety to his parents and elders in front of everyone, and I didn't wronged him." ”
Xuanzong frowned and said, "Nonsense, why did he say those words?" ”
An Lushan got up and shouted, "Wang Yuan, if you don't make it clear today, you won't be done." Your Majesty, this Wang Yuan is amazing, he is making up nonsense in public, is this to refer to the deer as a horse and wrongfully kill the minister? ”
Everyone was shocked, and it seemed that this matter was about to make a fuss. Speaking of which, this is Wang Yuan's mistake, An Lushan is insinuating and laughing, but Wang Yuan weaves lies to accuse An Lushan of being unfilial, which is much more serious. This Wang Yuan was dizzy, how could he lie and spread rumors in public.
Yang Guozhong even asked Wang Yuan to stop fooling around and not to get out of control. But seeing that Wang Yuan didn't seem to appreciate it at all, he said loudly: "Referring to the deer as a horse? General An also knows this allusion, General An is not the rough man you call himself. General An has to ask me to explain what he said, right? ”
"Of course, otherwise I didn't play tonight, and with His Majesty's guilt, An would also ask for an explanation." An Lushan shouted.
Wang Yuan smiled: "Then I'll give you an explanation." Did you just say that it is unfilial to talk about parents and elders? ”
"yes, do you need to ask?"
"Didn't you just do something like that? You make fun of the gossip of your parents and elders that are circulating outside, is this unfilial? Wang Yuan shouted.
"Are you dizzy, that's a matter between you and Mrs. Qin Guo, what does it have to do with my parents?" An Lushan shouted.
Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Sure enough, you are the wrong person." Just now, I seem to have heard you say that you want to treat the concubine Niangniang as a mother, and what son should say a few words for his mother, is that all deceiving everyone? ”
"How so? Those are my sincere words, if Your Majesty allows it, and the concubine Niangniang agrees, I can worship Niangniang as my mother in public. In fact, I have long regarded His Majesty as my father and my mother as my mother. An Lushan Tian said shamelessly.
Wang Yuan nodded and said, "I believe you are sincere, so may I ask, what is the relationship between Mrs. Qin and the noble concubine?" ”
"Yes...... Sister, do you still need to ask? ”
"Since you regard the concubine Niangniang as your mother, then who is the sister of the concubine Niangniang in your eyes? At least it's an aunt. No matter how bad it is, it's an elder. Did you just make fun of your aunt and elders? Am I wrong? Wang Yuan asked a series of questions.
"Oops!" An Lushan was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Wang Yuan to seize this point to set himself, and he really couldn't refute it for a while, so he could only stare dryly.
"The son of Mrs. Qin is my righteous son, that is to say, in terms of seniority, I am also your elder. You just used the gossip outside to talk about the matter between your aunt and the elders, isn't this a taboo, isn't it unfilial piety? Well? Your Majesty, Concubine Niangniang, colleagues, have I ever wronged General An? You've heard what he's saying, and the relationship between the characters is here, and I don't mean to wronged people in the slightest. Wang Yuan said lightly.
