When I found out I had become the [Most Beautiful Woman], [Most Respected Woman], [Number One Talented Woman], and [Most Beautiful and Virtuous Empress] of the Great Xia Dynasty...
Su Chang...
Chapter 839: Queen: Well, I also think the Queen is not that good
His eyes were the shape of copper coins, but drool was flowing from the corners of his mouth.
If other people saw this scene, they would definitely think that Maomao was a money-grubber.
But Su Changan looked at the cat and asked without thinking, "What's in the Red Mansion gift pack?"
Su Changan looked confused, because according to common sense, the cat should not be interested in this gift package at all, unless there was something in it that the cat cared about.
Although this girl likes money, she never uses Su Changan to make money, otherwise there would be so many poems in that small bag, even if many of them were just fragments of sentences written casually, any one of them would be priceless now.
What kind of poison was in the gift package that could make this girl so interested that she was drooling and even came to find Su Changan?
"!" Maomao didn't expect Su Changan to see through her immediately. She turned away and didn't dare to look at Su Changan: "Nothing..."
Su Changan smiled helplessly and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the first couplet.
While Aleya was looking at the cat, she thought the little girl was quite interesting.
But she couldn't help but frown, because she came here just for the gift package.
She had already come up with the second line in the sentence just now. If no one could come up with a better one within an hour, it would be hers.
And it was when I was strolling outside that I heard there was a Red Mansion gift package here, so I came in. There was too much free time while waiting, so I went upstairs.
Maomao saw that Su Changan had started to think, so he spoke up, "Someone added the line 'a gust of wind, thunder and rain', and the shopkeeper said that there are still two quarters of an hour left. If there is no better second line, this thing will belong to the person who came up with it."
Su Changan looked at the first line of the couplet, 'Three lights: sun, moon and stars'.
This first couplet is used as a difficult question to test people. I have to say that the shopkeeper is very knowledgeable.
And a gust of wind, thunder and rain can indeed be used as the second half of the couplet.
While thinking about it, Su Changan picked up the pen beside him and prepared to start writing.
Aleya looked at Zhong and said okay.
As I just said, very few people can come up with the right first line of this couplet, so the big gift package is basically a sure thing.
But now it seems that this girl can come up with the second line of the couplet?
Zhong Shuoxing naturally noticed the princess's gaze, but did not look up. Instead, he lowered his head to look at the pen in Su Changan's hand, waiting to see what the girl would write.
Three lights: sun, moon and stars.
This first couplet looks very simple at first glance. It is not a hidden word couplet, nor a borrowed meaning couplet, nor a random couplet. But its difficulty lies in the "three" in front. The number governs the three related things that follow, and they must be fixed nouns.
It's difficult
There is nothing wrong with a gust of wind and thunder, but after all, when compared with the sun, moon and stars, there is something missing.
It is difficult for those who can see the mystery to figure it out, and even if those who cannot see it can figure it out, it is obvious that it is wrong at a glance, and the owner of the study will not recognize it.
So I am very confident when I say that I can do this.
But can this girl answer it now?
Su Changan did not write immediately, but looked at the cat: "The money is mine, and the things are yours!"
This was a very confusing statement, but knowing who Maomao was, he naturally understood it immediately and nodded seriously.
Su Changan naturally began to write.
While Su Changan was writing, Aleya and Zhong Shuoxing came over to take a look.
only
Seeing what Su Changan wrote, the two looked at each other.
Among them, Aleya looked at Su Changan and said, "What can I say? His handwriting is ugly just like mine, and his reading must be very bad. But I am from Mobei, so it doesn't matter if I read almost as well as the Xia people. But you are a Xia person, so why is it like this?"
Poor talent, not only can't understand the meaning of the poem written by the Queen of Daxia, but the handwriting is also so ugly.
Why.
Aleya looked at Su Changan and felt inexplicably sympathetic.
But I felt relieved, because the way the words were written made it hard to come up with the second line of the couplet at a glance.
Zhong Shuoxing smiled and shook his head, then went to look at the second couplet written by Su Changan. However, as soon as he looked over, his expression was stunned. He looked up at Su Changan with some surprise.
The four kinds of poetry are Feng, Ya and Song, Guofeng, Da Ya, Xiao Ya and Song.
After Su Changan finished writing, he handed the paper to Maomao. Maomao had a look of joy on his face, swallowed his saliva, turned around and ran downstairs.
Seeing Maomao so excited, Su Changan was afraid that she would fall.
At this time, Zhong Shuoxing praised: "You are so knowledgeable, young lady! This couplet is more appropriate than "a gust of wind, thunder and rain."
Aleya on the side didn't understand what was so good about it, but she could tell that this girl wrote better than Zhong Shuoxing!
He immediately looked at Zhong and said okay.
Zhong Shuoxing looked up at the princess and smiled helplessly: "This girl's second line is indeed much better than what I wrote."
Aleya's eyes suddenly widened, and without saying a word, she picked up the pen and handed it to Zhong, saying, "Okay, the meaning is very simple, let me think about it!"
Zhong Shuoxing smiled bitterly.
However, when Su Changan saw the actions of these two people, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "The gust of wind and thunder and rain came from the hands of this gentleman?"
Zhong Shuoxing heard this and said to Su Changan: "I am not very knowledgeable. Miss Nan Wenya of this family can just call me by my name. And I cannot bear the words sir."
After Su Changan heard the fist, he said, "Liu Xinghe."
Zhong Shuoxing immediately said, "Miss Liu has a sharp mind, and I admire her. These four poems seem simple and easy to recite, but if you really think about it, you will never think that they can be used to match this couplet."
This is true. It only took me a short moment to think of the second line, which is really amazing, especially since the first line is so difficult.
Su Changan smiled ashamedly, then looked at Aleya and said, "Miss Nan really wants this Red Mansion gift package."
Zhong Shuoxing smiled and said, "The eldest lady really likes the Dream of the Red Chamber written by the Queen, and she likes to collect all kinds of books related to the Dream of the Red Chamber."
At this point, Zhong Shuoxing paused and said, "It's called surrounding area, right?"
Su Changan nodded: "It's called peripherals, and there are a lot of them related to the Red Mansion."
As he spoke, Su Changan couldn't help but say, "I wonder what's included in the gift package in this store."
In fact, this is what Su Changan is curious about, because Maomao actually hates Red Mansion, but to be precise, Maomao doesn't care about Red Mansion at all.
So what could interest her in the gift package? Could it be poison?
When Aleya heard Su Changan's words, she turned her head and looked at Zhong and said OK. Her eyes were stern, and the meaning was very simple: that's my big gift package!
Zhong Shuoxing was helpless again, looked at Su Changan and asked: "Miss Liu also likes the Red Mansion?"
Su Changan nodded: "Yeah, I like it very much."
Because I liked it, I watched it many times in my previous life.
When Aleya heard this, she looked at Su Changan and immediately asked, "Which character in the book do you like?"
Su Changan said: "You like them all?"
Aleya looked at Su Changan strangely, then said, "I like Shi Xiangyun."
But then he frowned: "But the Queen is too cruel. How can she write people so pitiful? The other girls are the same, and the most important one is Wang Xifeng. It's painful to think about it."
Zhong Shuoxing wanted to speak when he heard this.
But Aleya looked at Su Changan and said, "Is it true?"
Su Changan looked at Aleya and nodded: "That's right!"
Zhong Shuoxing said, "Miss, be careful with your words."
Aleya didn't care: "Isn't it said that many people in the capital are talking about the Red Mansion, saying that the Queen has a cruel heart and so on, I don't think there is anything to be cautious about."
After saying that, he looked at Su Changan and said, "Right. After reading this, even someone like me who doesn't cry easily shed tears. How could there be such a cruel person?"
Su Changan looked at Aleya and nodded: "That's right! It's so cruel. I actually cried after reading it."
On the one hand, Li Xinsheng and Luo Zhufeng didn't say anything from beginning to end, but at that moment, they looked at each other and nodded and talked about their queen, and they didn't know how to evaluate her.
Su Changan looked at Aleya with anger on his face, but actually felt a little helpless.
Aleya knew that Su Changan liked the Dream of the Red Chamber, especially that his views were the same as hers, so she naturally felt closer to him, so she continued, "But I heard that the queen was a very good person. If she was such a good person, how could she write such a tear-jerking book?"
Su Changan thought for a moment and said, "I don't know."
Although he was helpless, he still wanted to speak up and persuade them.
But at this time, someone stood up and said loudly, "I understand what you mean. Your Majesty wants us to practice with the sword and watch the tide, with the swords fired one layer after another." Is this the sword move that the Empress hides in her poems? '
Hearing this, Su Changan looked at the man and said, "You know nothing. When did I ever mean this?"
Aleya looked at this man and said, "Hiding his martial arts in poetry is indeed remarkable, but he wrote about the girls in the Red Mansion so miserably. Just for this reason, he is not a good person no matter how you look at it!"
Li Xinsheng and Luo Zhufeng looked at the girl named Nan Wenya and felt worried for her. It would be fine if these words were said in private, but the Queen was right here and you were saying them in front of her!
Su Changan looked at Aleya and nodded, then said, "I actually think so too. Which good man can write about girls so miserably?"
Aleya looked at Su Changan and liked him more and more. She even moved closer to Su Changan: "Yeah, you think so too!"
Then, he looked at Zhong and said, "I knew there would be people who would think the same as me!"
Zhong Shuoxing was helpless: "Miss, be careful with your words."
Aleya rolled her eyes and said OK, then turned to look at Su Changan: "You don't know, I also met someone who likes Dream of the Red Chamber yesterday, but when we talked, I told him about how the Queen wrote Dream of the Red Chamber, and he was unhappy, and we almost had a fight. But it's obvious that she wrote it too tragically, and the heart was too cruel. But someone in the inn said that they had seen the Queen, and that she was beautiful, kind, and very kind."
Su Changan said: "It's true that she is beautiful, but it's hard to say anything else."
Hearing this, Aleya and Zhong Shuoxing looked at Su Changan.
Aleya asked curiously, "Have you seen it?"
Su Changan nodded: "Yes, I have seen it."
Look in the mirror every day and you've seen it.
Aleya immediately asked, "Many people say that she looks like Lin Daiyu, is that true?"
Su Changan was silent for a moment and then said, "After all, she is one of the top ten in the world, and she is at the same level as the Great Commander Yan, the Sword Saint, and the Great Priest of Mobei. How could she be like Lin Daiyu?"
Aleya nodded: "That's true, but I heard that the queen vomits blood from time to time."
Su Changan thought for a moment and said, "Maybe vomiting has become a habit. Can't he not vomit a few times?"
It was the first time that Aleya heard such a statement. After thinking about it carefully, she smiled and said, "Yes! Didn't she write about Lin Daiyu vomiting blood many times? She deserved it!"
Su Changan looked at Aleya and didn't know how to respond.
But Aleya immediately said, "However, I am quite curious about what kind of person could have written A Dream of Red Mansions, and not only was his writing so brilliant, but he also came up with so many interesting things."
After saying that, Aleya immediately said, "But if I have the chance to meet her, I will definitely ask her first, what kind of person is it to write such a cruel book."
Su Changan looked at Aleya: "I heard that the second lady of the Su family, Su Linhan, asked him..."
Aleya looked at Su Changan: "Any answer?"
Su Changan said: "He asked in return, whether it looks good or not."
Aleya was stunned for a moment, then slapped the table and stood up: "Is she a human?"
This slamming of the table naturally made everyone look at her.
Among them, Ru Sui Leng asked, "Does the girl have any insights?"
Aleya immediately said, "Yes, but I have some insights into the Queen, not poetry."
When everyone heard this, they wanted to ask what her feeling was, but when they saw the girl sitting down, they naturally did not dare to ask further.
After all, although it seems that we are listening to Senior Ru Suileng’s explanation and everyone’s communication today, some people will still keep things to themselves, which is easy to understand.
But some people looked at Aleya with envy, envy that she also had some insights.
Aleya looked at Su Changan and said, "She is not a human being when she says that!"
At the same time, Li Xinsheng and Luo Zhufeng lowered their heads and began to think about what the Queen was doing.
Su Changan looked at the girl Nan Wenya, nodded and said, "I agree with you."
Although he was scolding himself, in his previous life, when Su Changan was looking at the Red Mansion, he actually greeted Gao E, Cheng Weiyuan and others.
Because what Mr. Cao wrote before was not that bitter, but writing the sequel really goes against Mr. Cao's wishes.
Therefore, Su Changan felt very empathetic towards Nan Wenya at the moment, but he didn't really like her and couldn't relate to this kind of emotion.
On the other hand, Zhong Shuoxing was looking at Her Royal Highness the Princess and wanted to take Her Royal Highness the Princess away.
If they continued talking about this, they would not be able to stay in Jizhou City any longer. After all, from what they had experienced these days, Zhong Shuoxing could see that the Queen was very popular among the people, and was even tending to be deified.
But just when Aleja was about to say something.
The cat came back, looking excited, holding a big box in his arms.
Su Changan stared at the box in shock: "You got it now?"
Maomao nodded: "The shopkeeper liked the second line very much and gave it to me directly."
While speaking, Maomao put the box on the table. After opening the box, in addition to books, there were also small portraits of Lin Daiyu and others, and two small boxes.
Maomao picked up the two small boxes with an excited look on his face, covered the boxes, and then looked at Su Changan: "Here you go, I don't want the others."
Then he sat on the stool and looked at the two boxes happily.
One of the two boxes was labeled "Lengxiang Pills" and the other was labeled "Meihua Dianshe Pills".
Su Changan looked at the names on the two boxes. The fact that the cat was like this clearly showed that there were really these things inside.
When was this peripheral released? How come I didn’t know about it!
But doubt is doubt. Su Changan retracted his gaze, looked at the big gift bag in front of him, and then looked up at Aleya: "If you don't mind, you can take it."
Aleya was stunned: "Send it to me?"
Su Changan nodded.
Aleya asked again: "Don't you like the Red Mansion too? And this sister seems to like it too."
Su Changan smiled and said, "I have all these things, and this child doesn't like the Red Mansion very much. Moreover, these things should have belonged to you, Miss Wen Ya, from the beginning. We took them away from you, but the things in these two boxes cannot be given to you."
Aleya glanced at the two boxes, sniffed them, and roughly guessed what was in the two boxes. She didn't care.
What’s important are these small statues and the like, but when she looked up at Su Changan, Aleyya seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Finally, he said directly: "We are all from the martial arts world. I won't be hypocritical with you. I am older than you, so I call you sister. You call me sister. You gave me this thing, you earned it, and I owe you a favor! I have some small power, which will definitely be of help to you!"
Su Changan smiled. He didn't think about it. It was just a matter of convenience. Besides, he could ask others to help him with something. So he smiled and said, "Okay!"
Aleya smiled and thought of something, so she said: "If I can see the queen in the future, I will definitely..."
Zhong Shuoxing heard what Aleya said, and immediately stood up and said to Su Changan: "Thank you for the gift, young lady. We have something else to do, so we'll take our leave first."
As he spoke, he looked at Su Changan helplessly.
And after saying this, he wanted to pull Alia away.
Su Changan naturally understood what she meant. The main thing was that this girl, Nan Wenya, was so outspoken that anyone would be afraid of her.
If Aleya didn't want to, Zhong Shuoxing couldn't pull her away. However, seeing that Aleya was about to say something, Zhong Shuoxing seemed to sense something. He frowned and looked at Su Changan: "Sister Xinghe, remember my name. I owe you a favor!"
After saying that, he reached out and pinched Su Changan's face, then picked up the big box.
Before leaving, Zhong Shuoxing bowed to Su Changan again and whispered, "Please forgive me, I really have to leave, the mouth can cause trouble."
Su Changan smiled and nodded, then stood up and returned the greeting. He didn't care about these things. "It's fate that we meet. But it doesn't matter to me. But I still have to be careful in front of others."
Zhong Shuoxing bowed to Su Changan again.
After the two left, Su Changan thought of this girl Nan Wenya and couldn't help but smile, then he looked at Maomao.
I found that Maomao had taken out a booklet and a pen.
Su Changan directly put his hand on the book, looked at Maomao and said, "I helped you get this thing, and you treat me like this?"
Maomao looked at Su Changan and said, "Even if I don't tell him, His Majesty will definitely know. So why don't I tell him? I can get a reward."
After that, he added: "If you give me money, I'll give you half."
How to say it
Su Changan was speechless again after what Mao Mao said, but after thinking for a while he said: "Three to seven, I'll take seven and you take three"
