Chapter 63: Clever Words Set Up a Situation

Ma Xiuying said in surprise: "Sister Ning Luo is extraordinary, the calligraphy and paintings on this wall are all copied by one person. ”

When Li Ningluo heard this, he was also a little surprised and asked: "This person's pen is strong and powerful, and he has a domineering spirit, I don't know who wrote it." ”

Ma Xiuying said with a smile: "I didn't expect my sister to be quite accomplished in calligraphy and painting, so my sister might as well guess who the calligraphy and painting on the wall are from." ”

Li Ningluo didn't know what Chu Ma Xiuying meant by saying this, but seeing Ma Xiuying's demeanor, he knew that the calligraphy and paintings on the wall might be related to Ma Xiuying, so Ma Xiuying had such a look.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Liuyan said with a smile: "Then the little sister will dare to guess." ”

Ma Xiuying bowed her head and said: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you guess wrong, it's just a pastime for our sisters, if you can't guess, you can't guess, what's the matter." ”

Li Ningluo also said: "Since my sister has orders, then my little sister will not shirk, just guess." Wu Guogong is eloquent and strategic, this calligraphy and painting are vertical and horizontal, and it is bound to swallow the world, it is not our Wu Guogong's book. ”

Ma Xiuying smiled and said: "Although Wu Guogong has been learning from the past few years, he is very attentive to pen and ink, where can he have good calligraphy." ”

Li Ningluo was stunned for a moment, originally thought that Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang was a masterpiece in the world, and there were few heroes who admired the past and present, and he would definitely not hang the pen and ink works of a few literati and ink writers of the previous dynasty in his bedroom. Then it is very likely to be a weekday study. ”

Seeing Ma Xiuying denying this statement now, he was naturally a little surprised in his heart, Li Ningluo pondered for a moment, and felt that the paper was slightly old, but it was still a thing of the world, not a thing of the previous dynasty. Even if the person who wrote these hanging scrolls is not Zhu Yuanzhang himself, he should be a person in the world.

"Could it be that Liu Bowen is the military division in the army, I heard that Liu Bowen is a talented man, a rare talent in the world, and a national warrior is unparalleled, it is the handwriting of Liu Junshi." Li Ningluo guessed again.

Ma Xiuying already shook her head and said: "Liu Junshi is so talented, how can he squander it between pen and ink, and Liu Bowen is plain by nature, cherishes ink like gold, and rarely gives people ink treasures, even if Wu Guogong asks for it himself, I am afraid he may not be able to get his wish." ”

When Li Ningluo heard this, he was not surprised in his heart, when he was in Hanyang, he only heard that Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang in Yingtian City were literary and ink affairs, and they were leading the army, and the rest of Yingtian's generals were all outstanding in battle, but there were few who were coarse and literate. What's more, as a general leading the troops, how can he take out the free dance and ink. Those generals who led troops to fight are probably powerless.

Thinking of this, Li Ningluo decided not to speculate anymore, so he opened his mouth and said: "Although I have been following my father-in-law for a short time, I have also experienced a few times in serving pen and ink. Therefore, I can't write such good words, sister, sister really can't guess it, sister might as well make it clear. ”

Ma Xiuying smiled and said: "Sister admitted defeat so quickly, then my sister will tell you that these calligraphy and paintings are all written by Marshal Xu Da, these are all begged by General Xu Da from Wu Guogong back then, and he can't put it down, no matter where he moves, he takes it with him." ”

As soon as Ma Xiuying's words came out, not only Li Ningluo was surprised, but even Chu Liuyan on the side was shocked.

Chu Liuyan knew that Xu Da was quite literate and artistic, and he was really a Confucian general with both civil and military skills, but he never knew that Xu Da had written these calligraphy and paintings for Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu. looked at Ma Xiuying with great concern and made a deferential look.

Ma Xiuying explained with a smile: "Actually, these are all old things about Chen Sesame and Rotten Grain, and I also heard it from Wu Guogong." Wu Guogong said to me that the best brother he had when he was young was Marshal Xu Da, but Xu Da was a talent, but he was proficient in writing and ink, which made Wu Guogong, the eldest brother, very faceless, and then Wu Guogong simply found a private school teacher to teach himself to write these calligraphy and paintings, and after practicing for more than half a year, Wu Guogong felt that his words should be written well. I wrote a few pictures and took them to the house of the Xu Da brothers to show off, I didn't expect Xu Da to smile, and he didn't reply, and he also wrote a few according to the appearance, Wu Guogong took a look at the calligraphy and paintings of the Xu Da brothers, and they were very smart, and they were more flexible than the dull ones they learned to write, and Wu Guogong knew that he couldn't compete with Marshal Xu Da in this one, and he could only remedy it from other places. Since then, Wu Guogong has carefully framed these calligraphy and paintings, taking them as a reference, trying to seek his own strengths, and not be confused by the strengths of others. ”

Ma Xiuying's slightly spoken narrative was quite fascinating, and Li Ningluo and Chu Liuyan listened calmly, and did not say anything to disturb each other halfway.

"I don't know what Wu Guogong said about seeking his own strengths and not being confused by other people's strengths, but what Sister Xiuying said today, I haven't heard Wu Guogong and Marshal Xu Da mention it, it's really surprising." Chu Liuyan said with a slight smile.

Ma Xiuying wanted to talk, but Li Ningluo, who heard it on the side, laughed and said: "I didn't expect Wu Guogong to be so competitive when he was young, and I didn't see it these days with Wu Guogong, I only felt that Wu Guogong had a resolute temperament, calm as a mountain, and was not an ordinary person who was brave in vain." ”

Ma Xiuying heard Li Ningluo's words, so she responded: "Wu Guogong is not a person with a small amount of energy, and Xu Da is not a thing in the pool. At present, I heard that Chen Youliang, the king of Han, raised troops to attack, although there were many soldiers in Yingtian. At present, the person who can help Wu Guogong to lead the army to resist the enemy is none other than General Xu Da. What does Li Ningluo's sister think. ”

Li Ningluo was stunned, but when accepting Zhang Dingbian's order, he also heard Zhang Dingbian say that the most taboo in Yingtian's army was Xu Da, and this time she was sent to lurk by Wu Guogong's side, just to ask her to find an opportunity, so that Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da turned against each other. If this is done, Han King Chen Youliang will be able to break it himself.

Therefore, although he was stunned in his heart, he blurted out in his mouth: "What my sister said is very true, the most difficult thing to deal with in the Ying Tianjun is Xu Da." ”

As soon as the words came out, Li Ningluo regretted that he was a deep lady, how could he know this. If Ma Xiuying and Chu Liuyan ask how they found out, I'm afraid it won't be easy to prevaricate, and they will inevitably show some horses' feet, and if they say too much, they will be wrong, so it's better not to open their mouths more.

Thinking of this, Li Ningluo already felt that there was no point in staying in the house. Since there is no possibility of hiding Xu Biyi in Ma Xiuying's residence, the only way to continue the search is to send someone to Wu Guogong's mansion at the moment.

Thinking like this, Li Ningluo naturally wanted to go. However, although he had such thoughts in his heart, he was also afraid that he would leave too quickly, which would arouse the suspicion of Ma Xiuying and Chu Liuyan.

Originally, I wanted to come to Wu Guogong's wives and concubines were all mediocre and incompetent people, but after listening to Ma Xiuying's words, they should not be underestimated, this person seems to want to explore his true identity intentionally or unintentionally, which is unguardable, and he is really a figure that cannot be ignored.

A chill suddenly rose in Li Ningluo's heart, and now it seems that it is not easy to achieve General Zhang's goal this time, and it can be achieved overnight. Wu Guogong's wife, who seems to be from a village aunt and has no knowledge, is now facing the front, but she is quite outstanding, and she is by no means an ordinary woman.

Li Ningluo had a lot of thoughts fluttering in his heart, and he forgot to gossip with Ma Xiuying and Chu Liuyan for a while.

Chu Liuyan saw that Li Ningluo was extraordinary today, and after he opened an embroidered stool as soon as he made a move, it was already a vague move, and Li Ningluo was by no means an ordinary person. There must be an amazing art industry, but observing Li Ningluo's actions, it seems that he is deliberately concealing his skills and is unwilling to show it, which is really surprising.

With such doubts hidden deep in his heart, Chu Liuyan was particularly concerned about Li Ningluo's every move. Li Ningluo, who was listening now, suddenly blurted out and said, The most difficult thing to deal with in the Ying Heavenly Army is Marshal Xu Da's words.

Seeing that Li Ningluo did not hesitate after saying this, he seemed to know the whole thing and was extremely familiar with it. Chu Liuyan was unconsciously surprised in his heart, the most famous person who could fight among the soldiers and horses of Ying Tian was Chang Yuchun, the general of Chang Sheng, and although the rest of the generals also enjoyed great fame, they were still slightly inferior to Chang Yuchun.

As for Xu Da's foresight, he often broke the enemy's opportunities first, so he was not known for his military exploits, but he was deeply frightened by the people who were enemies with him. For ordinary people, since she is not prestigious, Li Ningluo is just a deep lady who does not step out of the door and does not go out of the second door, why does she look like she knows very well, this is too contrary to common sense.

Chu Liuyan's heart moved slightly, and he turned his eyes to look at Ma Xiuying, but he didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, he saw Ma Xiuying also cast an extremely ambiguous look, and as soon as his eyes met, he saw Ma Xiuying bowing slightly, Chu Liuyan understood that Ma Xiuying must have also noticed the small flaws between Li Ningluo's words.

However, just based on such words, it was inferred that Li Ningluo had bad intentions and persecuted Xu Biyi, which was naturally difficult to convince the public. Therefore, Chu Liuyan did not bring up the matter, but just pretended to watch the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and did not hear Li Ningluo's words.

After looking at it, Chu Liuyan raised his head and said to Li Ningluo and Ma Xiuying: "My sister's vision is really powerful, and I am also Marshal Xu Da, who is also a brother and sister, and I often go to his tent to play, and I have also seen Marshal Xu."

I've written a lot of fonts.,I just think it's good.,But I can't be like a girl.,Can say what's good.。 ”

Li Ningluo listened to Chu Liuyan say this, and Chu Liuyan didn't hear his words, and he was a little relieved in his heart, so he said to Chu Liuyan and Ma Xiuying slightly remedyly: "Actually, it's nothing, my little sister has been strict since she was a child, and her parents are very fond of her, and she is regarded as a pearl in her hand, so when she was very young, she found a famous local teacher Shuo Ru, and set up a museum at home to teach me to read and write words. can only show off one or two in front of people, and if you meet an expert, you will still only laugh at the Fang family. ”

Ma Xiuying smiled, moved her lotus steps lightly, walked in front of Li Ningluo, and said very sincerely: "Sister Li is really too modest, just with Sister Li's ability, don't say it's me and other sisters, even Wu Guogong, who is a scholar of literature, wants to let you go headlong, and now I think about it, it's really wrong sister." The girl is erudite and talented, has a good face, and is so gentle and humble, and empathetic. It's really pitiful to me, let alone a hero like Wu Guogong, how can I not fall in love with my sister. My sister is really a little wrong to blame my sister. ”

As he spoke, he grabbed Li Ningluo's arm, pulled Li Ningluo away from the hanging scroll on the wall, and pulled her to the edge of the bed and asked her to sit down.

Ma Xiuying's intentions for this move are twofold, one is to deliberately envelop it, so that Li Ningluo does not doubt that he has him, and the other is that after the calligraphy and painting that Li Ningluo is standing on, it happens to be where the organ is, Ma Xiuying is afraid that Li Ningluo will get up for a while, so she reaches out to touch the hanging scroll on the wall. If Li Ningluo is allowed to see through the tricks, it will be very bad for Xu Biyi's safety.

Li Ningluo saw that Ma Xiuying treated herself so earnestly, and her previous-for-tat attitude outside the house was really judgmental, but it was her own pretentiousness that really deceived Ma Xiuying's ears and eyes, and Ma Xiuying had no doubts in her heart, so she was so attentive.

The heart is wide, and the words are naturally more casual.

Li Ningluo knelt down and said to Ma Xiuying: "My sister treats me like this, but my sister slandered my sister with words, my sister really doesn't know what to do, and I ask my sister to forgive me." ”

As soon as Ma Xiuying heard Li Ningluo's words, she naturally understood that the situation she had just set up had not been penetrated by Li Ningluo, so she smiled and said: "Sister doesn't have to be polite, my sister is so young, some unintentional mistakes are inevitable, and I have never remembered it, sister." As he spoke, he was about to help Li Ningluo up.

Chu Liuyan naturally understood the meaning of Ma Xiuying's actions, so he persuaded on the side: "Why is Sister Li so polite, Liuyan also dares to guarantee that Sister Ma is not a person who holds grudges, although the words spoken by her sister outside the house are hurtful and loyal, and they are offensive, but Sister Ma is broad-minded and will not mind this." Sister Li doesn't need to be like this, as long as she sincerely changes, why bother to stick to her deeds. ”

Li Ningluo was originally a play, and when he heard Ma Xiuying and Chu Liuyan persuade each other, he thought that the two of them didn't pay attention to what they just said, so he also stood up with a boat, bowed to Ma Xiuying and said: "Since my sister is so generous, if my sister doesn't appreciate it, how can I get close to my sisters, my sister will make a salute here, which can be regarded as matching my sister, and I will still be a good sister in the future." Ma Xiuying smiled coldly in her heart: "You are a woman as poisonous as a snake and scorpion, who wants to be a good sister with you." I can't wait to cut you with a thousand knives and feed the pigs. ”

Although there was resentment in her heart, Ma Xiuying's face was a group of amiable words: "My sister is serious, just like my sister said, my sister and I will have no worries in the future, and we will be a pair of sisters and serve Wu Guogong together." ”

Hearing Ma Xiuying say this, Li Ningluo pretended to be excited, took Ma Xiuying's hand and said, "My sister agreed, my sister is the elder, please take care of my sister more in the future." My sister is also arrogant and respectful of my sister. ”

Although Ma Xiuying was disgusted in her heart, she also had a false entertainment with the snake on the surface.

As soon as the door curtain was opened, Cui'er walked in with a tray, and when Ma Xiuying saw it, she took Li Ningluo's hand and said, "Cui'er is back, my sister will follow me to the half-immortal table to rest for a while, how about a cup of tea." ”

Li Ningluojiao smiled and responded: "My sister is the eldest here, so naturally my sister has the final say, and my sister obeys her fate." ”

Ma Xiuying smiled slightly, turned her head to Chu Liuyan and said, "Miss Chu, what do you think?" ”

Chu Liuyan bowed and said to Ma Xiuying: "Liuyan is just an uninvited guest, since he is so loved by the master and given good tea, it is already a thousand joys." The guest is as he pleases, and it is up to Mrs. Ma to decide. ”

Ma Xiuying listened to the two Gu had no objection, so she instructed Cui'er, who was standing on a plate: "Cui'er, you go and clean up the table, put the tea set on the table, and I will taste a product of Biluochun with my two sisters." ”

Cui'er didn't dare to slack off, so she agreed, walked to the edge of the table of the Eight Immortals, set the tea set, poured three cups of tea, and then moved out three embroidered stools under the table, and then turned back to Ma Xiuying and said: "Master, the slave and maid have done what you ordered, so please ask the master to move forward and appreciate Biluochun." ”

Ma Xiuying got up, took Chu Liuyan and Li Ningluo's hands, and moved to the front of the Eight Immortals Table with a light move, and humbled each other, Li Ningluo and Chu Liuyan respected Ma Xiuying and let her be the middle seat, Chu Liuyan and Li Ningluo sat side by side side on the left and right.

After the three people who were waiting for Cui'er sat down, Cui'er brought three cups of tea to the three of them, and Li Ningluo picked up the cup and said to Ma Xiuying: "Sister, I have offended a lot today, this cup of tea is my sister's apology to my sister, and I also invite my sister to drink this cup." ”

"My sister is really polite." Ma Xiuying did not doubt him, took the teacup in Li Ningluo's hand, stretched out her mouth and took a sip slightly, and suddenly said: "How is this tea a little different from the past, it seems to be a little ......different." ”

Before she finished speaking, Ma Xiuying felt dizzy and threw herself on the table, and the tea in her hand was poured onto the table of the Eight Immortals, and she was suddenly in a mess.

Cui'er didn't expect such a change, and she was so frightened that the teapot in her hand fell to the ground for a while, and was shattered.

I only heard the sound of "Z", and the tea suddenly turned to the flames, tumbling non-stop.

"Tea is poisonous." Chu Liuyan drank all over, and as soon as he turned his hand, he caught Ma Xiuying's pulse.

Cui'er staggered out and shouted, "Help, come quickly, someone is trying to murder Mrs. Ma." ”

Up and down the house, there was a mess all of a sudden.
