Chapter 53: Careful Su Changan
After coming out of the study, he still went through the side door back to the carriage.
However, as soon as he walked out of the alley where the side door was, Su Changan saw that there were more people in front of the main entrance of the study, and the quotes in the crowd became particularly outrageous.
Looking carefully, Su Changan discovered that the poem being auctioned was the one he had helped Su Wan'er correct. However, rather than being a correction, it was more like a small mistake caused by his own embarrassment.
Wan'er wanted to write a poem about falling flowers, so she copied and thought from a book and wrote a line: "A flower and a leaf fade into the dusk, spring is over, the moon has faded and people are sad."
But when he saw Wan'er writing this poem, Su Chang'an laughed and scolded her, "You are so young, but you only know that the moon makes people sad. Don't learn those melancholy poems in the books."
Then Wan'er asked, "How would you write it, elder sister?"
After Su Changan thought about it for a while, he simply filled in the following sentence: "Rouge smile, dancer's sleeves, spring, please go, let's drink a big cup next year."
The result is a look.
The poem suddenly changed from sad to solemn, as if that was the case.
But if you take a closer look, the whole poem is a little bit ordinary.
Su Changan, feeling that he had failed in his attempt to show off in front of Su Wan'er, simply waved his hand and erased the words.
Then he wrote, "The flowers in the forest have faded in spring, too quickly. Helpless, cold rain in the morning and wind in the evening. Rouge tears, drunk with each other, when will they be heavy again? Since life is full of regrets, the water flows eastward."
But this is finished
Looking at Su Wan'er blinking her big eyes with a look of surprise.
Su Changan felt that there was no point in pretending in front of a child!
It’s not shameful!
After laughing at himself, he simply crossed out this poem by Li Yu.
Then he let Su Wan'er go have some snacks, and he crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the garbage basket on the side.
In fact, it is just a small episode that happens in daily life.
But now
Su Changan looked at the people reading over there, each of them reading the poem "The Flowers in the Forest Have Faded in Spring" written on the paper. They were all filled with emotion and he really didn't know what to say.
"Chunhong. It turns out that Chunhong can be used as a substitute for flowers. Wonderful! She is worthy of being Miss Chang'an."
"It's a good poem, although it has a lot of sadness and sorrow. Especially the 'Rouge tears, stay drunk'. The word 'tears' is exquisite, and the word 'drunk' does not mean intoxicated, but the heart is like being drunk."
"The handwriting of the previous poem is different, but the second half of the previous poem seems to be written by Miss Chang'an, but it has been erased. Although the previous poem is not as beautiful and sad as the second half, it is also very clever. Chunjun cuts it off and drinks a big cup next year. It is a bit sad, but it is somewhat far-fetched with the first half. It seems that something happened."
"It is a pity that life is long and the water is long. Miss Dong Chang'an's talent is not as good as ours."
"However, why was such a poem erased, and it seems to have been abandoned? It is incredible. Servants, do you know what happened? If there is really a funny little thing, this poem will be of great significance."
"Such poems are thrown away so casually. If there is no other reason, it is because Miss Chang'an doesn't like these poems. Such a work that can be sung by many people is thrown away so casually. I don't know what to say. Brother Wu, your poem about falling flowers was only praised by Xun Siye as 'good', but you treated it as a treasure."
"Let's not talk about this for now. The famous verses on those papers were all discarded like this. Is this the talent of Miss Chang'an? We regard them as rare, but she treats them as trash."
"No more words to say. Everyone, I offer five hundred taels. Is there anyone who offers higher than me?"
"Six hundred taels! You want to buy Miss Chang'an's masterpiece for only five hundred taels? What are you thinking?"
…
Listen to what the students over there are saying.
Su Changan didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, he decided not to think about it and just leave here quickly.
Otherwise, my face would turn red listening to these people talking like this.
But he had just reached the carriage.
Su Changan saw two men standing on one side of the carriage, talking to another Chixia Army soldier who was protecting them.
And saw Su Changan and others.
The two men came over immediately, especially the young man walking in front, who was particularly excited to see Su Changan, and came over at a trot.
Zhou Qianhong recognized the young man and immediately whispered in Su Changan's ear, "That man is the Eighth Prince's son Xia Zhixu. As for the scholar behind him, we only know his last name is Fang. He is a counselor in the Eighth Prince's mansion and has always been with the prince."
Hearing
I know you are very generous and magnanimous, so you allowed me to obtain Islam.
It's a good name.
But Su Changan looked at the prince, the eighth prince's family.
Thinking of the Eighth Prince's appearance on the first day she entered the Su Mansion, and thinking of how the Empress had complained about her Eighth Uncle more than once in the past,
While thinking this, Su Changan turned his head and looked at Zhou Qianhong: "Can I give you a beating?"
Zhou Qianhong was stunned and didn't understand what Su Changan meant.
Su Changan said, "It's exactly what it says. After the fight, he said he thought you were going to do something bad to me, so he attacked you first, and then he realized he hit you by mistake, so I came out to apologize."
Zhou Qianhong immediately shook her head upon hearing this: "No, this prince is very much loved by the Eighth Prince. If the Eighth Prince were to investigate further, who knows what he would do."
Su Changan felt regretful.
But I am also confused. Why is this prince here, and it seems like he is waiting for me.
Immediately, the prince came to Su Changan with great joy and bowed, saying, "Xia Zhixu, greetings to Miss Changan."
Su Changan responded: "You are too polite, my lord."
Xia Zhixu looked at Su Changan.
The last time he was standing on the second floor, looking at Su Changan's stunning beauty. The one glance and smile made him think about her day and night.
When I took a closer look today, I found that he, who usually made many people talk eloquently, suddenly didn't know what to say.
Just looking at Su Changan.
I think she is really beautiful and my cousin is really lucky.
A pair of eyes stared at Su Changan, as if they were intoxicated.
Su Changan looked at Xia Zhixu and turned to look at Zhou Qianhong.
Zhou Qianhong immediately understood and shook her head.
Su Zhaoxin was holding hands with Mao Mao, and when he saw Xia Zhixu glaring at his elder sister, he immediately became unhappy. He jumped in front of Su Changan, pointed at Xia Zhixu and cursed: "What are you looking at? Why are you staring at my sister with those rolling eyes? My sister is as beautiful as a fairy, but you don't look at her like that. If you look at me again, I will destroy you, believe it or not!!"
Talking.
I don’t know where Su Zhaoxin learned this from, but he picked up a stick nearby and glared at Xia Zhixu with a rude and unreasonable look on his face.
Hearing this, Xia Zhixu realized that he had lost control of himself because of her beauty. He quickly took a step back and bowed to Su Changan to apologize: "Zhixu lost control of himself. Please forgive me, Miss Changan."
After that, he bowed again and said, "Since we parted at the early winter poetry gathering that day, I have longed for Miss Chang'an's smile that was brighter than the stars. When I saw you today, I couldn't help myself. Please forgive me for my inappropriate behavior just now."
Su Changan was stunned for a moment. This person also participated in the early winter poetry gathering? No way.
Su Zhaoxin looked at Xia Zhixu carefully and asked, "You came to the early winter poetry gathering, too. Why don't I remember you? But I remember what all the men and women who were close to my elder sister looked like, but I haven't seen you before."
Hearing this, Xia Zhixu said with shame: "That day, I was in the outer hall and did not attend the poetry meeting."
Su Zhaoxin frowned: "Oh, you can't even get into the poetry gathering, that means you don't have any literary talent."
Then, Su Zhaoxin looked at Xia Zhixu with an even more unpleasant expression: "Then why are you talking so flowery?! If you don't have literary talent, don't try to imitate a scholar, okay? You should know your own limits."
Su Changan couldn't help but smile when he heard that. Looking at Su Zhaoxin, he felt that this brat was getting better and better at talking.
Zhou Qianhong on the side lowered her head helplessly, but did not intend to stop it.
Maomao kept looking at the corner of paper sticking out from Su Zhaoxin's arms, and then looked at Xia Zhixu with strange eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xia Zhixu was very ashamed as he looked at Su Zhaoxin as Su Changan became more and more famous.
As a result, the young master of the Su family also gained some fame, especially at the poetry gathering, where some people even said bluntly, "The young master of the Su family is small but has a sharp tongue and deserves a beating."
See you today.
It is true!!
Su Changan laughed enough and said, "My brother is ignorant, please don't blame me, Your Highness."
Xia Zhixu immediately shook his head: "No, no."
At this time, Mr. Fang finally came over and looked at Su Changan, the counselor whom the Eighth Prince had always dreamed of recruiting but had never succeeded. He bowed slightly and said, "Meet Miss Changan."
Su Changan returned the greeting gently.
Mr. Fang stopped talking and just stood aside.
At this time, Xia Zhixu took out the paper that he had carefully put away in his arms and said, "Because I heard that Miss Chang'an's calligraphy and painting were for sale here today, I came to take a look and buy some. I saw the Chixia Army carriage from afar, so I came to take a look out of curiosity. I didn't expect that it was really you, Miss Chang'an. I am really lucky."
"However, Miss Chang'an, please explain to me what this sentence means after the sky. I know that Xu Baisi is puzzled."
Su Zhaoxin stared at the paper and asked, "How much did you buy it for?"
Xia Zhixu replied: "Twenty-four taels."
When Su Changan saw that what Xia Zhixu was holding was the paper on which he had written the three words "Ying Shi Tian" and then wiped his hands and threw it away, he almost choked when he heard that it was bought for twenty-four taels.
And subconsciously looked at the cat.
Although Maomao didn't say anything, the look in his eyes made it seem like he was looking at Xia Zhixu as a 'sucker'.
Su Zhaoxin shook his head, seeming to want to say something but stopped talking. After looking at Su Changan, he immediately stopped talking.
Xia Zhixu looked at Su Changan and spoke again with an urgent look on his face: "Miss Changan, please explain what the words behind this should be heaven."
Su Changan looked at Xia Zhixu who had a sincere expression on his face. If it was someone else, they would just say it, it would be just a line of poetry.
But you are the son of the Eighth Prince, and it just so happens that the Eighth Prince has offended my "wife".
Love the one who loves you and loves everyone in his house; be gentle to those who are far away and yet they are close to you.
If you offend my wife, then goodbye.
I'm so petty!
So he said, "I just wrote it casually. I didn't think about what it was afterwards, so I threw it away at that time. The prince and others thought too much."
After that, Su Changan bowed to Xia Zhixu and said, "I have something else to do at home, so I'll take my leave now."
As he spoke, Su Changan walked towards the carriage.
The prince was somewhat unwilling and wanted to say something, but when he saw Su Changan got on the carriage directly without any room for maneuver, he immediately curled his lips and looked at Mr. Fang.
Mr. Fang smiled slightly and understood everything.
Su Zhaoxin did not get on the carriage, but pulled the clothes of Xia Zhixu who was stopped by the Chixia Army.
Xia Zhixu turned around.
Su Zhaoxin immediately said: "Do you want to know what happened next?"
