Chapter 127: Attack (Ask for Pink Ticket)
、、、、、、、、、、 According to Liu Chang's previous temper, he thought that he would definitely be desperate, and maybe he would splash the cup of hot tea soup in front of him on Wu Xilian's face. But to her surprise, Liu Chang didn't, but said without changing his face: "Thank you Seventeen Niang for your concern, although she is still incapacitated, but Tsinghua She has been able to walk around on the ground, and I think she will be able to come to congratulate you on your big day." If I'm not mistaken, your future husband is the Cen family of the original mansion, right? Cen Juro had spent two years in Kyoto, and he was a good friend of mine, and we often drank and discussed poetry together, and maybe we would be together in the future. So you shouldn't be so rude to me, Seventeen Niang. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Chang's face showed a cold smile, Peony was very familiar with his smile, she knew that the words he was about to spit out must be very hurtful, not something that a woman like Wu Xilian could bear, she coughed lowly, and was about to use other topics to turn away, but Liu Chang didn't give anyone a chance, he looked at Wu Xilian and smiled very brightly: "You know, in Pingkangli, the wine there is very good, and it is always more fragrant than the wine in other places." He was so drunk that he couldn't get on the horse, and he had to stay there for a long time. ”
The light in Wu Xilian's eyes suddenly dimmed, and her lips, which were decorated with pomegranate makeup, trembled uncontrollably. What kind of place is Pinkangri? A place where prostitutes gather. As soon as she said that Cen Shilang was the same prodigal as Liu Chang and Pan Rong, he immediately proved it to everyone present that Cen Shilang, her future husband, was indeed that kind of person. But in fact, most of the noble brothers, scholars, and court officials in this capital don't go to Pingkangli? Many noble ladies can turn a blind eye and hear like Mrs. Bai, and they can be as fierce and difficult as Mrs. Qi, but she can't do either, let alone be as thick-faced and black-hearted as Liu Chang. So she was destined to be stabbed by Liu Chang.
She was silent for a moment, glaring at Liu Chang angrily, wanting to pour the cup of tea in her hand that was still boiling hot all over his face, but Madame Bai calmly pressed her hand. She saw Peony's silent and sympathetic expression, and she suddenly remembered that there was a difference between her and Peony. She is a noble-born woman with five surnames, her family has lasted for several years, and the men of the world will be more honored to marry her than to marry the princess and county lord, her identity and upbringing do not allow her to do this kind of shrew-like behavior, especially in front of the weak like Peony, who has always been pitiful and looks down on her. Wu Xilian slowly withdrew her trembling hand, a layer of ice-like look appeared on her face, she glanced at it, and refused to look at Liu Chang again, as if Liu Chang was a bunch of disgusting things.
Liu Chang didn't care, happily admired Wu Xilian's expression, and drank the tea soup in his hand with satisfaction. Regarding Wu Xilian's heart-piercing words, he used to care very much, just like when he saw the peony and heard the topic related to the He family, he couldn't help but remember that he had given a sick and dying daughter to rush over, and was sold as a commodity by his unproductive and greedy father. He was still very young at the time, so he couldn't control his anger and always wanted to vent it desperately, just to get a moment of raising his eyebrows.
But now it's different, since he made a marriage with Peony and with the lord of Qinghua County, he has heard more words that are ten times more difficult to listen to than this, so much so that he can't remember it anymore. When you listen to the vicious words a lot, you don't know two kinds of ends, one is to fight back angrily and be beaten again until you are numb and forgetful; The other is to remember deeply, but not have to show it, to fight back in another way, to find the opponent's weakness, and then to kill with one blow. He chose the latter, he found Wu Xilian's weakness, and with a single word and a smile, she was covered in bruises and unable to fight back.
Hehe, what a famous family girl, it's just like that, the noble and righteous Mrs. Bai, the noble and cold Wu Xilian, they don't dare to really vent the anger in their hearts. They didn't dare to spit on him like Peony, insult him loudly in the street, and dare not act recklessly like the county lord of Qinghua. They are good-looking, they are sanctimonious, and they are different from what they seem. False, this is the definition that Liu Chang gave them, he is also hypocritical, but he just has to be a hypocritical and ruthless person, so that he can get what he wants.
He obviously drank the salty tea soup just now, but he felt that what he drank was wine, lips and tongue, throat, stomach, a hot piece, he looked at Peony fiercely, she took everything from him, so one day, he must ask her to repay tenfold.
Peony looked at Liu Chang without flinching, she looked at his yin owl's eyes quietly, what was her expression at that time, but she thought, maybe she contained contempt and indifference, or maybe she didn't have any expression, because in addition to being afraid that he would hurt her by force, in fact, he was nothing to her, not even a worm on the peony flower leaves. But now she was not afraid that he would hurt her by force, so it was entirely possible that she had no expression at all.
Jiang Changyang half got up, handed a cup of tea soup to Peony, and said softly, "There is no salt." His tall body blocked Liu Chang's vision, and the smell of grass on his body blocked the strong scent of smoke coming from Liu Chang's body. Peony held the cup of tea, and with an illusion, Jiang Changyang was like a six-curved screen with a rosewood seat, thick and wide, blocking everything she didn't like outside.
Tea soup without salt. Everyone present heard and saw Jiang Changyang's actions. Peony doesn't like tea soup with salt, no one has heard of it before. But what does Jiang Changyang mean by handing her such a cup of tea soup with a difference? Is it his own preference? Or is it a peony that has recently been cultivated? Anyway, he was conveying his concern and comfort to Peony.
Liu Chang saw the move as a provocation. He lowered his eyes, and through the gap in his eyelashes, his gaze fell on Peony's hand and the lotus carved porcelain tea pot she was holding. Celadon is as beautiful as jade, and the hands are delicate. But the celadon is not his, and the plain hand is not his. They could all be held in the hands of another man. He took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Danniang, when did you like to drink this tea soup without salt?" We have been together for a year, day and night, and we have been very affectionate, I never knew you had such a quirk. When did you get this quirk? Could it be from Li Xun? You've become so fast. First me, then Li Xun, and now who is it? No wonder people say that a woman's heart is a needle under the sea. He refused to admit it, he hated her for changing her mind easily, and hated her ruthlessness and unrighteousness.
There was silence in the pavilion. Wu Xilian forgot her own pain, she looked at Peony in amazement, but she only saw an expression on Peony's face that could not be called an expression. Wu Xilian hurriedly looked at the others to see if the others were the same as her, and heard the same information from Liu Chang's words. Jiang Changyang was still concentrating on dividing the tea, and he couldn't see any special expression, Pan Rong was smiling bitterly, and Madame Bai's brows were tightly furrowed. And Aunt Feng and Shu'er already spewed anger in their eyes. So she set her sights on the peony again.
Peony picked up the cup of tea without salt and took a sip gently, and said lightly: "Since it is a quirk, it is not uncommon for you not to know." You didn't know it for a year, and you don't need to know it now. She didn't explain what Wu Xilian wanted to know, because Liu Chang was not worthy of asking questions or listening. Whether it's Li Xun or anyone else, none of them have anything to do with him.
Mrs. Bai said: "Shu, one day husband and wife are kind, and one day husband and wife are like the deep sea." You've already reconciled, you've got what you want, so why bother with it? Isn't it good to fit and disperse? What's the use of dwelling on these? ”
Among the people present, there were definitely many people that Liu Chang hated, and Mrs. Bai was one. She promised him to persuade Peony to change her mind on his behalf, but she went behind his back to unite with the eldest princess of Kangcheng and the lord of Qinghua to sell him cleanly. He has today, and Mrs. Bai can't get out of it. Therefore, he looked at Mrs. Bai lightly, and said in a flat voice: "Mrs. Bai is a very righteous heroine, female Zhuge who will not hesitate to stick a knife in her ribs for her friends, regardless of everything, so I have always respected you." ”
Pan Rong muttered on the side, put Pan Jing in Mrs. Bai's arms, sat down next to Mrs. Bai, patted the table gently, glared at Liu Chang and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, hey, I said Liu Shu, I said that you can't help but be lenient, how my wife loves it is a matter for the two of us, you can't care about it." He regretted it a little, he shouldn't have brought Liu Chang in the first place. He thought that he could make up for the irrational thing that Madame Bai had done about the peony before, but he still couldn't.
Liu Chang smiled slightly: "That's nature." He looked at Jiang Changyang, wanting to see what kind of counterattack or reaction Jiang Changyang would make to what he had just said. He Peony, do you think beauty is enough? Not enough, far from enough. Family, talent, power, money, all are indispensable, but appearance is secondary, in this world, such an identity, I am the only one who is willing to keep your identity as a wife. If you don't touch the south wall, you won't look back, will you turn back if you touch the south wall?
Jiang Changyang looked at him directly, with a kind smile and a firm and irrefutable tone: "Liu Sicheng, you are Pan Erlang's friend. Wu Niang is a friend of Madame Bai. Mr. and Mrs. Pan Erlang, and He Niang are my friends. You are all my guests, and I am willing to do my best to entertain each and every one of you, but if anyone dares to insult my friends, it is to insult me. ”
The expulsion of a guest who insulted the host was a matter of course. Everyone can understand this, although he pulled Pan Rong and his wife as foils, everyone can understand who he is referring to.
Liu Chang sneered, he really couldn't catch any flaws in Jiang Changyang's words. But he knew very well that Jiang Changyang and Peony definitely had something.
