Chapter 116 Conflict
After a long time, the Du family's servants withdrew a few curtains nearby and vacave the six seats nearby. They saw a young and beautiful strange woman in sacks in the seat, and the seats were stunned. One of them, a teenager in a red collar hub robe, shook off the folding fan in his hand and said softly, "24 Niang, this is yours. Friends?"
Yuanxiu recognized his voice. It was the person who just urged Pei 24 Niang outside the curtain. He only heard Pei 24 Niang glance at him, squeezed her lips and smiled and said, "This Taoist priest is a high foot under Xuan Hongyuanjun, the master of Qing Wang Guan."
"Forget view?" The teenager turned his head and thought about it, showing a sudden look, but strangely asked Pei 24 Niang, "When did you get along with Princess Yongshou?"
"Lu Jiu, do you care?" Pei 24 Niang curled the corners of her mouth and sat at the head of Yuan Xiu to introduce everyone for her. The six seats were not full. Today, they were all men and girls. According to their age and status, the first two were Cui Fengwu and Liu. They had been told by Pei 24 Niang. They were all indifferent and arched Yuan Xiu. With his hand, Yuanxiu answered the first salute, followed by a younger brother of Cui Fengwu, named Cui Fengcai. The girl sitting next to him in a primrose-colored spring shirt and a Luoyang brocade peony was the eleventh mother of the Wang family. Only then did she get past. Because of the small words, the posture of kneeling was very dignified, but the slightly raised chin revealed a trace of arrogance. Lu Jiu, who had talked to Pei 24 Niang before, was naturally Lu Jialangjun, named Jiaxing.
In addition, there is a girl, but she is Pei 23 Niang, the sister of Pei 24 Niang. The appearance of 23 Niang is quite similar to that of Pei 24 Niang. She wears a ginger-bottomed treasure flower pair of spring shirt, with a coral platform on her temples, and a fan with a snow silk face painted with orchid grass and ebony handle in her hand. The ebony is extremely black, Her face was covered with inch-long yellow tassels, which made her fingertips tender and slender. After listening to Pei Si Niang's words that she accidentally went to Qing Wangguan and met Yuan Xiu some time ago, she picked up the fan and half covered her face. She looked at Yuan Xiu doubtfully and didn't seem to believe it.
Yuanxiu didn't care either. She had seen that Pei 23 Niang had planned to open her mouth after Lu Jiaxing's inquiry, but she was quietly pulled by Pei 24 Niang under the cover of Guangxiu and immediately stopped. Obviously, she was so fast that she would not be able to step down on the spot.
"I heard that Qing Wangguan was the place where the previous emperor gave Xuanhong Yuanjun to practice alone. Unexpectedly, although Yuanjun did not go to Chang'an after becoming a monk, he accepted a disciple to attend the banquet on his behalf." When Pei 24 Niang explained the origin of the people, Prince Wang Eleven looked at Yuan Xiu a few times and said lightly.
Her arrogant attitude made Liu Zhebie, who was not far away, frown slightly. Yuan Xiu was a little unhappy, but then saved her current identity from forgetting an ordinary female crown. The prince came from a famous family. Looking at her dress and hairpin peony, they were extraordinary and numb to himself. The bun can sit with it, and it is no wonder that he will be dissatisfied.
Then I heard Pei 24 Niang reply fangs, "Listen to what Eleven Niang means, but are you very familiar with Xuanhong Yuanjun? I heard that when Yuanjun became a monk, Eleven Niang, you couldn't even walk!"
The prince frowned and was about to refute. Liu Zhebie suddenly said, "Two Mrs. Pei, do you know why Brother Pei hasn't arrived yet?"
"Oh, I just saw his carriage when I got off outside Furong Garden. Why hasn't he come up yet?" Hearing the words, both Pei 23 Niang and Pei 24 Niang raised their heads and looked around in surprise. The former said, "I thought he was taken away by the Du family Qilang!"
"My cousin and I entered the building with Du Qilang and didn't see Brother Pei." Liu Zhe didn't shake his head, and Cui Fengwu beside him also nodded slightly and said, "Has Brother Pei been dragged away by others?"
"This is impossible. Sixth brother has been thinking that he hasn't seen Du Sanlang for several years, and he hasn't met Du Qilang for more than a month. How can he follow others? What's more, Brother Six is the most loyal. Since he promised to come to Guanlan Tower today, he will never go back on his promise and get fat unless he is called. Pei's sisters both shook their heads.
Cui Fengwu said calmly, "The saint should be giving a banquet to the ministers in the palace at this moment. Besides, Brother Pei's work does not need to be summoned."
"Isn't Pei Zhuo's name spread to the palace last time, attracting the attention of the saint and calling him into the palace to be a son-in-law on today's Dragon Boat Festival?" When Lu Jiaxing heard this, he shook his fan and laughed and joked, "After all, we don't want to be the Lord. What's more, since the beginning of the year, Princess Pingjin did not keep her way. There was a nursery rhyme in Chang'an: I'd rather marry a poor woman than a son-in-law of the Li family. Now these golden branches and jade leaves are really avoided by everyone. There is a rumor in the palace that they want to give today. Dongping, Yuanxiu and Yunzhou chose their sons-in-law, but they didn't expect to summon Cui Nanxun to see him twice. Cui Nanxun spread the news that he was abduction and returned at night. It was clear that he didn't want Shangzhu and deliberately defile himself... Twenty-three and twenty-four Niang, your two brothers were miserable. At the beginning, Cui Dake was not because of his reputation. When it came to Princess Changyang's ears, did she have to be the emperor's son-in-law?
Lu Jiaxing said this in a joking tone, but there was no one to make fun of him, especially Pei Si Niang, who had always been articulate and had always been used to fighting with him. At this moment, instead of fighting back for his brother, he did not only shift his eyes and looked at him with a sympathetic look.
Cui Fengwu coughed and was about to change the topic when he heard a crisp and faint question: "This Lu Jiulang seems to be the mother of Princess Pingjin? Why do you still gloat when it comes to Princess Pingjin?
Everyone followed the sound, but saw the female crown, who claimed to be the real Taoist, sitting upright, with a smile on her lips, and looked at Lu Jiaxing.
Lu Jiaxing glanced at her and mocked gently, "Princess Pingjin's failure to keep women's morality is a direct rebuke in the saint's decree. Although she is the daughter of our aunt, she is not from the Lu family. Why does the little Taoist priest have any opinion?"
Hearing the thorns in his words, Yuan Xiu frowned slightly and said lightly, "Since Princess Pingjin's lost wife has been scolded by the imperial edict, demoted her title, and asked herself to live in the fief for a long time, how can she know that he can't be corrected? The so-called knowledge of mistakes can greatly improve. Lu Jiulang was born in a noble family and has always read sages' books. Now Chang'an doesn't talk much about this matter much. As the nephew of his mother's family, you are still angry and unforgettable, which inevitably makes people suspicious of the Lu family's anger.
Lu Jiaxing didn't expect that the female crown would really dare to refute himself. He was stunned before he reacting and said with a sneer, "How about my Fanyang Lu's temperament? When will it be your little female crown's turn to point? It's ridiculous!"
Pei 24 Niang frowned, and Liu Zhe said faintly, "Lu Jiulang's response is really out of honor!"
"Do you, Mr. Liu from Hedong, also come to laugh at my Lu family?" Lu Jiaxing looked at him disdainfully. The five surnames and seven views have been passed down for thousands of years. Although the difference between scholars and civilians is getting smaller and smaller, the innate sense of superiority of the Wang clan has always been engraved in the bones of most of the children of the family. Lu Jiaxing is one of such people. He can see Yuan Xiu For the sake of his youth and beauty and acquaintance with Pei 24 Niang, he accepted her to sit with him and maintain his demeanor, but it was impossible for him to accept Yuanxiu's accusations equally peacefully when he did not know Yuanxiu's real identity.
The more the road is, the more unforgettable it is - this sentence can be used to describe the psychology of some scholars today. Since the Spring and the Warring States Period and the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the difference between the scholars and civilians who reached the peak has always been so different, and because of the imperial examination of this dynasty, the status of scholars has been constantly affected. Impact, after the Wuzhou chaotic Tang Dynasty and Niu Li party struggle, the imperial examination passed the recommendation system and became the most glorious qualification. The pattern of top-grade and low-grade scholars was completely broken. While countless civilian children saw the opportunity to leap over the Dragon Gate, they were originally destined to live a life. My younger brother was sad about this, and because of this, a large number of people in the Wang clan became more and more disdainful of civilians.
For example, Lu Jiaxing.
The prince, who was also dissatisfied with Yuan Xiu's presence, smiled and exchanged a look with Pei 23 Niang, so that he planned to watch the bustle.
"What about me, Qinghe Cui?" However, what everyone didn't expect was that Cui Fengwu, who had always been elegant and gentle, suddenly said slowly.
Cui Feng, who had been silent, raised his hand, put down the golden bottle, and looked at his brother in surprise.
The atmosphere suddenly became deadlocked. The Liu clan is not as rich as the five surnames and seven Wang. For example, Fanyang Lu was a descendant of the State of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period and was famous in the world as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty. Among them, Lu Zhi, the ancestor of Xing, was one of the 28 great Confucians who deserved the Confucius Temple. He was the surname and accumulated hairpins of the generation, and many important ministers in this dynasty. The Liu family started from the end of the Qin Dynasty. Although it was also a long family, it was also a little gloomy when the forces of Han, Wei and Jin were the most prosperous.
As for Qinghe Cui and Fanyang Lu, they belong to one of the five surnames and seven families. They came from one of the princes of the State of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period. Wei ranked among the world's famous families. The so-called Wang Cui, Lu and Li Zheng are still ranked before the Lu family, and Lu Jiaxing is only an ordinary son in the Lu family. Cui Fengwu is the eldest son of the Qinghe Cui family, and the latter style. Yi and people were all above Lu Jiaxing. As soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Jiaxing couldn't help but be stunned.
But Cui Fengwu's doing so will undoubtedly provoke the contradiction between Cui Lu's two families. Cui Fengcai frowned secretly and quietly looked at the so-called true female crown.
