Chapter 7 Xie Shaoqing
Chu Liang is troubled by Chen Yanzhi's affairs these days, and often sits alone by the well with his head propped up by his hands. Chu Li, like his father, is used to hiding his thoughts in the bottom of his heart and not letting others see it. She often went to find Jiang Yingyue, hoping to see Chen Yanzhi in Zuiyue Tower, but she often waited for a long time, and when the song ended, she still didn't wait for Chen Yanzhi.
Jiang Yingyue was very surprised when she saw her behavior, thought about it for a while, and guessed most of it. At one point she couldn't stand it and couldn't help asking, "If you really want to see him so much, I can help you with a word, and he will definitely see you, unless he deliberately avoids you." ”
Chu Liang looked confused and said, "I don't know what's wrong, I want to see him but I don't dare to see him, my father is coming back soon." ”
Jiang Yingyue sighed helplessly and said, "You, you're just too stupid, in fact, he's not as good as you think." ”
Chu Liang didn't think about it and said, "I don't believe it." ”
Jiang Yingyue covered her forehead, walked a few laps, and said, "You! It's really not to hit Nanshan and not look back. ”
They were drinking tea and talking on the second floor of the Zuiyue Building, and Jiang Yingyue said to Chu Liang: "Come and take a look, it's dancing downstairs, don't stand stupidly." ”
Chu Liang leaned on the railing and looked down, a dancer with long sleeves fluttering, constantly turning in circles. The following spectators can't stop applauding and rewarding.
Chu Liang looked at it for a while, then turned around and said, "I think the dance is average, it's just that it looks good, and I'm dizzy when I turn in circles." ”
Jiang Yingyue couldn't help laughing: "You are really good at spoiling the scenery, she is a famous dancer here, how many rich people want to spend a lot of money for her." ”
Chu Liang asked, "Has anyone spent a lot of money for you?" ”
Jiang Yingyue said disapprerovingly: "Of course there is, by the way, do you see if the person below is Xie Shaoqing?" ”
Chu Liang followed Jiang Yingyue's gaze and said, "Yes." ”
Jiang Yingyue said: "I can always see Xie Shaoqing these days, I wonder if he has fallen in love with the girl in Zuiyue Tower, like him, we can't climb here." ”
Chu Liang was surprised and said, "Xie Shaoqing is the imperial prince?" ”
Jiang Yingyue snorted and laughed, "You only know now." ”
Chu Liang said sullenly: "I have met him twice, he didn't tell me, and you didn't tell me." ”
Jiang Yingyue smiled and patted the railing in front of her: "What were you busy with before, I don't know this." If Xie Shaoqing really likes the girl in Zuiyue Tower, according to the etiquette law, it is impossible for the girl to marry Xie Shaoqing, at most she will be a maid by Xie Shaoqing's side, and she has to hide her eyes and ears. ”
Chu Liang was indifferent after hearing this, her mood was very complicated, and she couldn't say it herself. Xie Shaoqing poured himself a drink, and although his eyes watched the dancers dance, his eyes looked in the direction of Chu Li.
Three days later, in the early morning, the smoke rose a little earlier than usual. Shanyan gave Chu Liang makeup, and Chu Li's hair was black and dense. After a while, Shanyan put down the comb and patted Chu Li's shoulder: "Miss is in a daze, it's all combed." ”
Chu Liang looked at himself in the mirror, stood up and said, "Let's go to my uncle's house early, so that we can come back early." ”
Shanyan took the painting with him, and after Chu Liang greeted Old Man Zhang, he went out.
Chu Li, Shanyan didn't go for half an hour to her uncle's house, and all kinds of shouting along the way attracted the two, and the two planned to buy something to go home after they came back.
The two of them came very early, and few guests from Chu Yaozuo's family came. A maid took Chu Liang and Shanyan to Madame's room.
Chu Yaozuo's home was very large, and there was silence along the way, and the servants were orderly.
Mrs. Li was waiting for her in the room, and Chu Lan was also there. Seeing her come in, Mrs. Li and Chu Lan both stood up. Chu Lan wore a water hibiscus skirt and looked very good. said to Chu Li: "Sister hasn't seen you for a long time. ”
I haven't seen her for a few years, and Chu Lan is very beautiful. Chu Liang still has a good impression of this sister. So facing Chu Lan, Mrs. Li said, "Aunt is good, sister is good." ”
Mrs. Li took Chu Li's hand and said, "Don't stand, sit down and talk, how have you been doing all these years." ”
Chu Liang said lightly: "It's a good life, my father asked me to bring a painting to my sister as a gift." After speaking, Shanyan handed the painting to the maid beside Mrs. Li.
Chu Lan sat next to Chu Liang and said, "The day before yesterday, my mother said that she would invite my sister to come over to catch up on the old days, but I forgot about it. ”
Shanyan scolded on the side: "You are really noble people who forget things." Mrs. Li gave Chu Lan a look, and Chu Lan stopped talking. Chu Liang smiled: "Aunt really has a heart. ”
There were several landscape paintings hanging in the room, and the three of them sat and talked again, Chu Liang didn't see Chu Yaozuo, so he asked, "Where is my uncle?" ”
Mrs. Li said, "Your uncle has something to do when he goes out, and he will come back in a while." ”
Chu Liang said: "There are still some trivial matters at home today, so I won't bother my uncle and aunt, and I will come to visit another day." "Get up and leave.
Mrs. Li said: "It's all here, why don't you eat lunch and leave." Chu Lan pulled Chu Li's sleeve and didn't let her go.
Mrs. Li smiled: "You see Lan'er also has a lot to say to you, Lan'er has never seen a foreigner, it is better for you to accompany her, and let someone do something at home." ”
Chu Liang smiled bitterly, and the mother and daughter persuaded her repeatedly, but Chu Liang was not easy to refuse, so she agreed.
Half an hour later, the guests came one after another. Chu Liang accompanied Chu Lan to greet all the ladies, compared to the clothes worn by these eldest ladies, Chu Liang can be regarded as very simple, not noticeable, everyone who comes is Chu Liang is a distant relative of Chu Lan's family temporarily.
At this time, a girl came outside, followed by several maids, who were very well-dressed.
Chu Lan kept greeting guests and greeting all kinds of noble ladies, but she didn't talk to Chu Liang much, Chu Lan looked to the side, and saw Xie Shaoqing standing next to the girl, smiling at Chu Li.
Chu Lan took the girl's hand: "I didn't expect Princess Ruyang to come to the cold house with a face." Princess Ruyang pulled Chu Lan to speak, and looked at Chu Liang at the same time, only feeling that Chu Liang was very familiar, she suddenly remembered and asked, "Have you been to Xiangguo Temple a few days ago and stayed in the lakeside pavilion for a while." ”
Chu Liang was distracted, she was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ruyang and said, "I went with my friends a few days ago, could it be that the princess also went." ”
After Chu Liang finished speaking, he looked at Ruyang carefully, Ruyang was very beautiful, and the people of the time praised her: when she was hateful, she seemed to be because of the wind, and when she smiled, she was like a lotus flower. She thought to herself: "No wonder they say that Princess Ruyang looks like a country and a city." ”
Ruyang turned to take Chu Li's hand and said, "No wonder I see that you are very familiar, my name is Xie Lizhen, Ruyang is my title, what is your name?" ”
Chu Liang is not very accustomed to being close to the living, but this princess is very familiar, and her enthusiasm is a little overwhelmed. Leaving Chu Lan aside, the princess sorted out the relationship between Chu Lan and Chu Lan in a few words.
Chu Lan followed behind them, the princess was very talkative, and she kept pestering Chu Lan to ask questions, but Chu Lan couldn't interject if she wanted to speak.
Ruyang brought a lot of things over, and Chu Lan ordered people to collect them one by one. Chu Lan saw that Ru Yang was talking to Chu Liang non-stop, and she was a little puzzled in her heart, and thought: "Looking at Chu Liang's reaction, they just met, why did the princess keep talking to Chu Liang, I have heard people say before that this princess doesn't talk to people very much, and she has only met once." ”
Xie Shaoqing originally wanted to talk to Chu Li, but now he couldn't interject, so he smiled helplessly. On the side, Chu Lan said to Xie Shaoqing: "I didn't expect Gongzi to come today." ”
Xie Shaoqing said with a smile: "How can you not come to the birthday of the daughter of Lord Zhongshu." Chen Guan asked me to bring a message, he may come over a little later today, today's Zhongshu adult's house is really lively. ”
