Chapter 197 Who doesn't have a guilty conscience?
"That's right. Sing it and listen. If you just give us a perfunctory answer without that line, not only will Mr. Liu not agree, but we won't agree either. We want justice for Mr. Liu!"
"Not bad, not bad, let's do it together!"
The guests followed suit and started to make noises.
Su Qianqian thought about it, drank the fruit wine in the brass cup, then knocked on the railing with the cup and sang a song.
"You said that all crows in the world are black..." Note ①
Su Qianqian pointed at Liu Zi's dark face. This sentence had already caused laughter from everyone upstairs and downstairs. The special tune made people quickly quiet down and stop listening.
"There are so many shameless toads on the ground!" This time, Su Qianqian pointed everywhere, causing everyone to laugh again.
"You said that even snow-white silver will be covered with dust..." Su Qianqian took out a piece of silver with a look of disgust.
"Who doesn't have a guilty conscience..."
Su Qianqian used silver to draw a circle towards everyone.
Prince Ping sat up at this time, his eyes were bright again, he picked up the copper chopsticks and knocked on the wine cup in rhythm with Su Qianqian.
"You said that all crows in the world are black.
The sparrows in the trees are chirping and chattering..."
Su Qianqian leaned over and pointed at the private room next to her, where someone was also looking at her Dahongpao.
There was another round of laughter, and Da Hong Pao also smiled brightly, not feeling embarrassed at all.
"You said that no matter how beautiful a flower is, it will eventually wither. Who can say with a clear conscience that he has no guilt..." Su Qianqian lifted Yan Huai's chin with silver, leaned closer intimately, then smiled and moved away.
"You've lost all your face, and you're still looking for help from someone else. You're so arrogant that you don't know how to advance or retreat. You're determined to go against the prosperous market, and you're completely defenseless when you lose..."
Su Qianqian emphasized those few words and finished singing. There was cheering from upstairs and downstairs.
Liu Zi was so angry that his face turned purple. Su Qianqian scolded him for no reason, saying that he looked like a crow and that he was arrogant and didn't know how to advance or retreat...
"Master Liu, please don't get angry with the young gentlemen. You should take care of your health. The private room is reserved for Master Liu... Girls, why don't you serve me?"
Lin Niang smiled sweetly to smooth things over, and signaled the girls to take Liu Zi and his guests to the private room upstairs.
Liu Zi glared at Su Qianqian hatefully, and was escorted upstairs by the crowd.
"What is your name, sir? I have never heard the tune you just sang before. It is both novel and interesting, and pleasant to the ear. Yan Huai, please teach me."
Yan Huai put down the zither, bowed to Su Qianqian, and said with an admiring look.
"This..." Su Qianqian was just about to lie to Yan Huai that this was a rural folk song that was not worthy of being sung in a high-class society, when she heard Da Hong Pao say through the door curtain, "Young Master, you have a refined taste and extraordinary talent. I am disrespectful and have come here to apologize."
[Bah, what's the use of apologizing!] There's a road to heaven but you didn't take it, so you broke in through the door to hell. I'm going to settle the score with you! 】
Su Qianqian gritted her teeth in her heart, but put on a humble smile on her face: "I don't deserve it, please come in, sir."
Dahongpao is indeed worthy of its name. Not only the cloak is bright red, but the robe inside is also bright red and embroidered with a magpie climbing a branch, just like a groom. Echoing the magpie is a silvery full moon.
"Full moon... bright moon..." Su Qianqian's face was flushed as she muttered to herself in a low voice.
Su Xing secretly complained at the side: her wife was very difficult to deal with when she was drunk. She thought it was just a glass of fruit wine, and she didn't expect Su Qianqian to drink it all in one gulp. It turned out that all the oaths made by drinkers could not be trusted, even her wife.
Su Xing walked over and supported Su Qianqian. Su Qianqian put down her wine cup and saluted: "My dear, what is your name? I will teach the young masters of Xijing to stay away from you in the future, so as not to harm you."
Prince Ping, however, did not move from his seat at all. He leaned his head on one hand and looked at Da Hongpao with a dark look in his eyes. The Chief Clerk Tao also did not stand up and drank tea with his eyes lowered.
"My name is Jiang Baipin. I am sorry for offending you. May I know what your address is? It will also teach me to be more careful of you in the future, so as not to ruin my reputation for some unknown reason."
Jiang Baipin teased Su Qianqian based on her words.
"Su Qian." Su Qianqian bowed and sat on the Arhat bed. If she didn't sit down, she was afraid she would not be able to stand steadily as the alcohol was taking effect.
Jiang Baipin lifted the corner of his robe and sat on the Luohan bed next to Su Qianqian. He looked up at the Prince of Ping across from him and said, "The envoys from Daliang are so happy to pay tribute that they don't even miss Shu. They even have the leisure to visit a brothel. They are really broad-minded."
[You're calling someone heartless and yet you're beating around the bush like that. You're not a good person either! 】
Su Qianqian rolled her eyes in her heart, felt a little dizzy and sat down, but when she saw the full moon on Jiang Baipin's robe, she suddenly had an idea.
Prince Ping on the opposite side had an unchanged expression. He leaned on the armrest of the Luohan bed, tapping lightly with his knuckles slightly bent. The "thump thump" sound was like the sound of horse hooves approaching, and it actually carried a bit of murderous intent.
"Daliang and Daqi want to establish friendly relations. It is also the duty of the envoys to understand the customs and habits of Daqi. How can we miss such a place that is appreciated by both the refined and the common? Mr. Jiang is narrow-minded."
Su Qianqian didn't want to listen to their bickering. Even though she felt a little dizzy, she still didn't forget the important things to do. She told the serving girl to get paper and pen.
"Mr. Su, do you think you want to write poetry or paint?"
Seeing the blush on Su Qianqian's face, Yan Huai knew that this young man was not good at drinking. After thinking about it, he approached Su Qianqian, stretched out his hand tentatively, and gently placed his slender white fingertips on Su Qianqian's temples, slowly pressing and kneading in circles.
Su Qianqian closed her eyes in comfort for a moment, and did not forget to answer: "Don't do those pretentious things, just play a little and have fun."
Comfortably enjoying the service of the beauty, after an unknown amount of time, Su Qianqian felt that it seemed unusually quiet. She slowly opened her eyes and was startled. She sobered up instantly.
Qin Hanzhang was actually sitting next to her, leisurely holding his tea and drinking it slowly with his eyes lowered.
"Hou...Brother-in-law, when did you come? Why didn't you tell me..." Su Qianqian winked at Su Xingkuang.
Su Xing: No one else dared to speak out, let alone me...
"My cousin is so in high spirits that he can actually find such a place. How can I explain this to your sister when I return home?"
Qin Hanzhang raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Qianqian with a smile. His words sounded light and casual, but everyone could tell that he said it with his back teeth gritted.
At this time, except for Su Qianqian, all the other men in the room were standing, and the women were kneeling. Yan Huai had been signaled not to stop before, so only now did he dare to let go and kneel on the ground trembling with fear.
The young Marquis Wuning returned to the capital a few months ago, and the entire Xijing city was deserted as people went outside the city to welcome him. Even the crown prince and princes came to greet him outside the city gate. The emperor might not have been recognized by some people, but everyone knew the newly-crowned Marquis Wuning Qin Hanzhang.
"Brother-in-law, I came here to communicate with the Daliang envoy, and secondly, I came here on the orders of my elder sister... to look for someone..."
Qin Hanzhang looked at Su Qianqian calmly, his face showing: Keep making up stories, let’s see what stories you can come up with!
Su Qianqian gritted her teeth and said, "That man's name is Jiang Fan, he's my cousin!"
As soon as Su Qianqian finished speaking, the room fell silent.
