Chapter 44: Li Qingzhao's Invitation
After Zhang Shang left, Chu Nangong appeared under the pavilion out of thin air, as if he had never moved here. Chu Nangong was on crutches with both hands, his body was stiff as if he couldn't stand up straight, staring into the distance, as if sighing, as if muttering: "I'm still too young." ”
"Man will always become, and one day he will understand that he will find his own way from the endless stars." The moon god's eyes were indifferent, and his voice was flat.
"Heh, but the old man is a little anxious." Chu Nangong shook his head slightly and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Also, transforming heaven and earth and reproducing myths is such a magnificent and great cause." Perhaps this is the craziest decision in the old man's life, but it will also be the most regretless decision. ”
Chu Nangong said, his voice gradually ethereal, and then disappeared silently, like a phantom in a dream.
For a time, only the moon god was left sitting alone under the gazebo. Her purple jewel-like eyes were full of deep meaning, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned to reveal a faint smile, making people wonder what was going on in her heart.
After Zhang Shang left, he did not rush home, but wandered around the Chang'an Market.
Today's conversation with Chu Nangong made him unable to calm down for a long time. Although he can't say that he doesn't have a plan in the past, he is just thinking about how to get more faith points, and then exchange more things from the system to satisfy his personal desires.
He had never thought so far as he did today, or what he should do in the future. I didn't even notice that I was no longer an ordinary young man of the Zhang family, but an invincible existence with the strength to crush the world.
This world is really changeable!
Zhang Shang thought that he was excited for hundreds of faith points a few days ago, and worried about the future of the Zhang family, but now he already has more than one million faith points, which is enough to crush the terrifying strength of the entire world. This drastic change was like a dream, and even gave him a faint sense of unreality.
It's not that this young master's heart is not good, it's really a system that is too dick, and he can beat the world in minutes!
Zhang Shang himself didn't know whether to be excited or melancholy. After all, life without challenges is like a chocolate box that has already been seen through, and there is no surprise of getting chocolate with unknown taste next time.
Zhang Shang doesn't care about whether his feelings will be too pretending, or whether it will make people want to be beaten.
If he could, he couldn't help but want to shout: how lonely it is to be invincible!
"Young Master Zhang, Young Master Zhang." Just when Zhang Shang was thinking about it, a hurried shout came from afar, which made Zhang Shang stunned for a moment. He followed the prestige and happened to see Li Bo hurrying over.
Zhang Shang is still quite familiar with Li Bo. He smiled and stopped, looked at Li Bo who was sweating profusely, and teased: "Li Bo must owe money to others, or go to Baihua drunk and forget to bring money, otherwise how can he sweat profusely." ”
When Li Bo heard this, he glared at Zhang Shang angrily, and snorted: "You little guy, I haven't seen you for a few days, but your courage is getting bigger and bigger, and you dare to even make old jokes." ”
He pretended to be angry, but he didn't really get angry, but took out a delicate invitation from his arms, with a little hesitation and worry between his brows, and said in a low voice: "This is my young lady's invitation, please Zhang Gongzi must go to the scholarly garden for a banquet tonight." Miss's invitation has been delivered, and the old man will not bother the son if he still has important matters. ”
Zhang Shang took the invitation and looked at Li Bo who left in a hurry, and his sword eyebrows couldn't help frowning.
Invitations?
It's strange, Li Bo just seemed to have an unfinished meaning, and there was a little more worry between his eyebrows, could it be that Sister Qingzhao had encountered some trouble. And I have known Sister Qingzhao for more than ten years, when did she make such a formal invitation, strange, really strange.
Zhang Shang was puzzled, but he didn't have any ideas, so he could only dismiss his plan to go home first, thinking about waiting for Li Qingzhao to see Li Qingzhao at the dinner party before asking.
Scholarly Garden.
"Miss, the invitation has been delivered." Li Bo stood in front of Li Qingzhao and said respectfully.
Li Qingzhao's eyebrows frowned slightly, revealing a look of surprise. Her black and white eyes moved slightly, as if she was asking what was going on with Lieber. After all, from Chang'an to the Zhangjia Manor in the suburbs, even if it takes half an hour to ride a horse, Li Bo has just left, how could he rush back so quickly.
"Coincidentally, the old man just walked out not far away, and he happened to see Zhang Gongzi on the street." Lieber explained.
When Li Qingzhao heard this, he bowed his head slightly and stopped asking. Her eyes were a little lost, as if she was lost in thought, as if she was thinking about something.
Seeing her look, Li Bo hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Miss, Zhang Gongzi may have just been a joke back then, after all." ”
When he said this, he saw Li Qingzhao's slightly moving expression and slightly drooping eyes, and sighed: "Hey, forget it, the old man is old, and his brain is a little confused. I'm going to arrange a dinner party, and I won't disappoint the young lady and the son. ”
When Li Bo retreated, Li Qingzhao's eyes closed slightly, as if he was laughing at himself and sighing.
"Joking, maybe!"
That night, the sky was crisp.
It's March, and the weather is starting to get warmer. At the beginning of the month, the sky was full of stars, like a naughty child blinking his big eyes.
There are not many servants in the scholarly garden, and it seems a little quiet in the night. When Zhang Shang came to Xiaoyuan, Li Qingzhao's personal maid Xiaoyuan had been waiting for a long time.
The lights in front of the door were dim, Xiaoyuan looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and her body was still a little thin. She is wearing a delicate grass-green long skirt, and her delicate face is slightly powdered, although she cannot be compared with Li Qingzhao's peerless appearance, she is also a rare little beauty.
"Childe, Miss has been waiting for a long time." Xiaoyuan's attitude was cold, and she bowed slightly.
Zhang Shang felt the other party's cold attitude, blinked his eyes suspiciously, and felt more and more wrong in his heart. In the past, when I came by myself, even if the other party was not very enthusiastic, he was also smiling, how could he seem to owe her something today.
Just without waiting for Zhang Shang to ask, Xiaoyuan was already carrying a lantern and leading the way in front.
The two walked for a while, but they walked through the living room and dining room, and went straight into the boudoir of the ladies in the backyard, which made Zhang Shang feel a little incomprehensible. With his relationship with Li Qingzhao, it is naturally not that he has not been to this backyard. It's just that for the sake of Li Qingzhao's reputation on weekdays, there are many noble women in the scholarly garden who come to chat, and he doesn't come many times.
Before that, although Zhang Shang was surprised about the formality of the dinner, he didn't think too much about it. At this time, he walked straight to the backyard, and he realized that things were not simple.
Could it be that something happened?
Zhang Shang frowned slightly, and couldn't help but be a little more worried.
