Chapter 25: Impressive
Divination with copper coins, the princes present are not unseen. It's just that it's unheard of for a woman to be proficient in this thaumaturgy. Which of the fortune tellers you usually see is not a long beard whisker and a fairy wind bone?
Everyone only saw Mo Liang throw the copper coins in his hand, glanced at them, and threw them again, and went back and forth like this three times before slowly taking the copper coins back, and then throwing these copper coins back to Chu Tingchuan. Chu Tingchuan saw that she actually threw the copper plate back, and the corners of his lips hooked up a beautiful arc, and teased, "Xiao Liang'er is polite to me?" But just a few copper plates, you just keep it. ”
Mo Liang didn't bother to pay attention to his words, she stood with her hands behind her back, and her eyes couldn't see any emotion, she couldn't tell if she was confident or had other ideas. A woman's eyes are so deep and obscure, but it's rare. I only heard Mo Liang say very slowly, "It's covered with grass, but I don't know if it's or isn't?" ”
Everyone was stunned, looking at each other, trying to get some answer from the eyes of others. They never guessed what kind of grass and debris was inside, they all thought it was protection. Chu Tingchuan glanced at Chu Xuhua on the side, but when he saw Chu Xuhua bowing slightly towards him, his eyes had already told him that Mo Liang was not wrong at all. Chu Tingchuan had slightly curved picturesque eyebrows.
"But I didn't think that Miss Mo was actually a master! That's right. The prince who came up with the question couldn't help but applaud, and his eyes were full of appreciation for Mo Liang. When everyone heard this, they were all surprised, they didn't expect Mo Liang to guess it like this, and they were very surprised in their hearts, only to hear someone have the courage to ask, "Dare to ask Miss Mo how to know what is in it?" ”
"The hexagram is just a show. Shang Xun and Xia Gen, Xun is wood, Gen is soil, it is said that this thing was born in the soil and belongs to wood. And the fortune of the hexagram, its things from the south, I just scattered the place, is nothing more than the back flower garden, in addition to the gorgeous flowers, there is only the branches and leaves of grass, and I heard that the Tao is 'not as good as the fragrance, but independent of heaven and earth, but it is in line with it', it is not difficult to think, what is in this cover? ”
Maybe he was a little drunk, otherwise how could Mo Liang talk so much? On weekdays, what annoys her the most is to say a few more words, but today she made an exception. Chu Tingchuan also stared at her with interest, as if he was looking at some rare treasure. thought that she usually refused to let others go thousands of miles away and didn't let others take a step beyond the thunder pool.
"Good! I lost convinced! "That prince is also a bold person, very different from the thirteen princes, without saying a word, he rewarded Mo Liang with two night pearls. Mo Liang also accepted the night pearl unceremoniously, and it was rare that she didn't forget to bow to the prince, "Agreed." "It's a good thing.
Everyone is amazed that this woman is not only sharp in her teeth, but also proficient in "Zhou Yi" hexagram, in this way, it is not difficult to explain, although she is mediocre, Chu Tingchuan is very fond of her and indulges her. If such a woman wants to find one from the world, I am afraid that it will be impossible to find it. It's no different from a treasure.
Chu Qingning didn't expect Mo Liang to be full of knowledge, and narrowed his eyes slightly, with hatred in his eyes that others couldn't detect. Chu Changge, who had been watching the play on the side, wanted to say that he had thought to Mo Liang that this woman had sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and her momentum was not weak. Now he is even more impressed by Mo Liang, he didn't expect a woman to be so smart, and then he bent the corners of his lips slightly, not knowing what he meant.
On this birthday, Chu Qingning did not bargain for anything, but made the people next to Chu Tingchuan out of the limelight, and even the brilliance of his protagonist was overpowered. Therefore, he naturally has resentment in his heart, but he cannot show it. Chu Changge was in trouble in the East Palace, and the queen issued a decree to recall him, and left the table in a hurry.
Chu Tingchuan and Chu Xuhua drank a few glasses of sake again, and also said goodbye to Chu Qingning. Everyone looked at Mo Liang, they were all amazed behind their backs, they had some discernment, and they understood that after all, they couldn't judge people by their appearance, and they envied and hated Chu Tingchuan for being such a talented and beautiful woman, not that they got such a knowledgeable woman.
For a while, the princes who were laughing at Chu Tingchuan for choosing a mediocre-looking concubine were now indignant with envy and jealousy behind their backs, why did they let Chu Tingchuan get this concubine. It's just that where do they know, Chu Tingchuan doesn't know how to stalk him, so that Mo Liang agrees to come to the banquet.
According to Mo Liang's outrageous behavior, if he were to be another prince, he would have already ordered someone to pull him out and correct the Fa on the spot, where could he find out what extraordinary knowledge Mo Liang would have? The main way is that Chu Tingchuan's endurance is much stronger than that of other princes, and Mo Liang is not completely obedient to Chu Tingchuan. If you know that Mo Liang is so difficult to handle, maybe it won't be envy.
finally sent Mo Liang, the "Big Buddha", back to the room, but Chu Tingchuan didn't bother her anymore as agreed. However, Chu Tingchuan didn't have time to bother her. Chu Xuhua came back with him, and he knew that Chu Xuhua should have something to say to him.
"Today's events are something that you and I didn't expect, Seventh Brother." Chu Tingchuan's eyes were filled with layers of ripples, and he could see clearly, it was a smile. Chu Xuhua was not too surprised, and his tone was still an indifferent response, "Yes." This person was unexpected, unlike the other women. Brother ...... Emperor"
Chu Xuhua stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking, Chu Tingchuan turned his face slightly to look at him, and then he said slowly, "This person should not be assigned by others." Chu Xuhua, who has always adhered to the principle of "prevention before it happens", said this sentence for the first time, which made Chu Tingchuan really uncomfortable, but he still asked back with a smile, "Why did the seventh brother say this?" ”
"I don't have much contact with her, but I know that this person will not want to be controlled by others, and this is one of them." Chu Xuhua put his hands behind his back and said slowly. Thinking of encountering such filthy things today, Mo Liang's reactions, behaviors, and even words and deeds, how could he be willing to be controlled by others? Let's not mention whether she deliberately pretended to let him Chu Xuhua see it.
"Second?" Chu Tingchuan looked interested and waited for Chu Xuhua's next words. Chu Xuhua didn't care about his playful expression, and continued, "This person dares to be outspoken to Chu Qingning, if this Chu Qingning is very narrow-minded, he will definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate, judging from Chu Qingning's behavior of finding fault everywhere, she is not sent by Chu Qingning, this is the second." ”
"Could it be that there is a third brother in the seventh brother?" Chu Tingchuan raised his eyebrows lightly, and continued to ask questions with interest, Chu Xuhua nodded indifferently, and continued, "If this person is really proficient in "Zhou Yi", I will not be so overkill, it is better to stay by my side, so this is the third." ”
Although this sentence sounds a bit biased towards Mo Liang, Chu Tingchuan knows that for these things, Chu Xuhua will never favor anyone because of his personal desires. Moreover, what Chu Xuhua said is reasonable, and he Chu Tingchuan has the same idea as him, so what kind of person this Mo Liang is still needs to be verified.
"Although this is the case, please be more careful. Whether it is a friend or foe is not yet known, and it must not be taken lightly. Chu Xuhua still likes to worry like that, but Chu Tingchuan doesn't feel the slightest trouble. He smiled back lightly and raised his hand, but it was rare to rub Chu Xuhua's soft hair, "Got it." ”
Chu Xuhua also has a rare slightly curved and picturesque eyebrows, and the corners of his lips are hooked with a faint but graceful arc. It's so indifferent, like a proud plum in the ice and snow, but when she laughs like this, it's so handsome, and it's incomprehensible. Perhaps, only Chu Tingchuan can see him with such an expression, such a look?
As soon as Mo Liang returned to the room, Wei Zi began to take care of him. While there was still some wine, Mo Liang stuffed one of the two night pearls in his hand to Wei Zi. Wei Zi was so frightened that he hurriedly refused to accept it, "Miss, this thing is so valuable, Wei Zi really can't accept it, can't accept it!" ”
"Take it." Mo Liang's eyes were clear and cold, which invisibly gave people a deterrent effect. Wei Zi was stunned, but he could only accept it carefully, and then said slowly, "Everything in Wei Zi's net worth belongs to Miss, even if Miss rewards Wei Zi, it is useless." As he spoke, he smiled bitterly.
I don't know if it's drunk, but the original cold and emotionless heart is covered by the low concentration of water and wine. Mo Liang's tone didn't change much, but he said something different from usual, "Then take it as your dowry." In the future, you will always find a good person to marry. "She's leaving anyway, and she doesn't need any maidservants to serve her.
Wei Zi only said these words if she was because she had drunk some wine and was not strong enough to drink. Although after Miss's serious illness, her temperament became too indifferent, she didn't like words, and even became estranged from life, Wei Zi felt that Miss was still Miss and had never changed much. It's just that the face is cold, and the heart is still hot.
Mo Liang took a sip of hot tea, and returned to normal, with a cold and desolate look, deliberately alienated from others. For Mo Liang, the heart is cold, if you learn what kind of chivalrous and soft intestines, then what is there to talk about living? Her coldness to anyone is her own line of defense, and if it weren't for her survival, she wouldn't have survived to this day.
She is cold, but she doesn't want to be a caged bird anymore, being watched, suspicious, and suspected every day. All she wants is a free life, where everything is in her own hands, not anyone else. finally lived again, she would not let go of such an opportunity, and she was controlled by others. The bitter tea in her hand was drunk by her.
