Chapter 182 It’s not worth hurting others or yourself

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 In the Spring and Autumn Period, "poetry for feasts" and "poetry for throwing pots" were popular. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, the form of duet poetry had developed, which was manifested in couplets of poetry recited during the banquet, which was called "improvised singing".

In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, when poems about feasts became popular among literati, Shi Chong of the Western Jin Dynasty pioneered the poem-fighting rule of "number of wines in golden valleys". In the Jiangling area, it was popular to set up banquets near the water and compose poems in the way of "winding water drinking glasses".

, Dou Shi.

For example, on the Shangsi Festival in the ninth year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, more than 40 people including Wang Xizhi, Xie An, Sun Chuo and others held the "Orchid Pavilion Meeting" in Shanyin.

Some poetry clubs also have calligraphy and painting displays, word puzzles and the like.

In short, it is a social activity for literati. As long as they are talented and courageous, all men, women and children can participate.

Lou Qingyi naturally knew that Zi Ling was comforting her. The purpose of participating in this poetry meeting was to relax her mind, so she also prepared some works for this purpose.

"Have you ever brought your calligraphy and painting with you?" Lou Qingyi asked casually with her eyes closed.

"Don't worry, young lady, my servant put it on the carriage with my own hands, right here..."

Zi Ling's voice suddenly stopped here, followed by a scream: "Oh, miss, the scroll is missing!"



A crescent moon loomed from the clouds, and the entire Jiangling City was bathed in a milky white silver glow.

Chen Chang and Xiao Yuer, the master and servant, were sitting on small bamboo chairs in the courtyard chatting.

The girl held her chin in her hands, her wrists as bright as jade, and her shining eyes seemed to be deeper than the night sky: "Uncle, do you think there are really gods in the sky?"

Chen Chang said lazily: "In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Jiao was said to have received a copy of "The Art of Peace" taught by the gods himself, which could summon wind and rain and scatter beans to form soldiers. Everywhere he went, he spread talisman water, which could cure all kinds of diseases.<

/p>

In a short period of time, hundreds of thousands of believers gathered under his command, and they began to rebel. The slogan was "Heaven is dead, Huang Tian shall stand." Everyone wore a yellow scarf and was called the Yellow Turban Army.

When the battle started, everyone had talismans on their bodies and chanted words in their mouths. They were really brave. But did they win?"

Xiao Yu'er shook her head. She had been studying with the young lady since she was a child and had learned a lot, so she naturally knew this allusion.

"Isn't this the case? So there is no such thing as a fairy tale."

Chen Chang took a cup of tea from Xiao Yu'er's hand. The faint fragrance of tea was refreshing. He smacked it gently with his lips and looked at the tea cup thoughtfully, admiring the exquisite and precious art.

"Perhaps what the old immortal gave Zhang Jiao was a fake "Taiping Yashu", or maybe the old immortal was a fake." Xiao Yu'er added.

"Pfft..." Chen Chang was shocked by Xiao Yu'er's strange brain circuit. This little girl is really naive. There is no such thing as an old fairy. This was simply made up by Zhang Jiao.

Similar things like the book collection in the belly of a fish created by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang play on people's hearts.

Ever since they got married that day, and after being amazed by Zhuangzi, Chen Chang has basically lived in seclusion.

Maybe he can help Lou Qingyi change the current situation, and he has the ability.

But on the other hand, he was a businessman before. Businessmen pursue profit. Before considering doing anything, the first thing that comes to mind is profit.

Even if you travel to this time and space, even if you don't want to get involved in those business affairs, the thinking pattern developed over decades may not be changed in a short time.

After getting to know her in the past few days, he felt that Lou Qingyi was a pretty good woman apart from being a bit aloof.

God arranged for him to be reborn and travel through time, and also gave him such a marriage by accident. He should cherish it even more.

However, as a once very successful businessman, he knew that this was just a cooperation and he could not put too much real feelings into it.

It’s not worth it to hurt others and yourself!

On this night in the sixth year of Dading in Xiliang, Chen Chang raised his head slightly and looked at the vast night sky. The moonlight passed through the gaps between the trees and cast the shadows of some broken leaves on his face.

For a time, I had so many thoughts...

Xiao Yu'er on the side also turned his gaze over. The man in front of him had an angular face that looked particularly resolute, and his eyes were solemn. His eyes were like void, so dark that they were bottomless.

For a moment, she felt that her mind was completely captured by these eyes. She wanted to look into them and see what was in them.

"Your young lady likes poetry, calligraphy and painting very much?" Chen Chang suddenly asked.

"Oh...yes, yes, the lady has been smart since she was a child, can write poems and draw, and is well-read. She has become very famous even before she is a minor..."

Because they have become familiar with each other, Xiao Yuer gradually talks more now, and sometimes she even has to talk to Chen Chang even when he doesn't take the initiative to ask.

One-year agreement, this is what she said when renewing the contract again in the wedding room.

Chen Chang didn't know what Lou Qingyi thought of this marriage scam.

But for him, this is just a job. For modern people who have just traveled to ancient times, it is still a well-paying job.

If everything develops on this track, he will be able to accumulate a considerable amount of wealth, which will then be used for Sichuan-funded tolls.

It was because of this plan that he actually agreed to her proposal. Afterwards, he wanted to slap himself again. After all, he still had a businessman's mentality.

The paper kite was found, and the rope didn't look like it was hung up. It was probably a prank played by someone. Chen Chang didn't take it seriously. After all, everything was done well.

It is always inevitable that someone will arouse the jealousy of others. This is human nature.

An unusual thing happened just now. An old family member hurried back and whispered something to Xiao Yu'er. Xiao Yu'er looked nervous for a moment, and then took out a painting tube from the study room.

.

Chen Chang was familiar with such a painting tube. The painting he finished in a hurry that day was also placed in such a painting tube.

He was still worried at that time, but he finally felt relieved when he saw the red silk thread tied to the painting tube in Xiao Yu'er's hand.

"I couldn't find the painting tube that the young lady brought, so I took another pair from home." After the family left, Xiao Yu'er explained to Chen Chang.

"Oh." Chen Chang nodded. Lou Qingyi is a very meticulous person. Such a thing will definitely not happen to her. It is most likely an accident.

"I don't want to know why the lady sent someone back to get the painting?" Xiao Yu'er seemed to be even more curious about Chen Chang's indifferent attitude.

"Isn't the problem already solved?"

"Well, it's solved. But Sister Ziling clearly took the young lady's painting before going out. Because of this, Sister Ziling cried for a while..."

Chen Chang smiled faintly. It seemed that things were similar to what he had guessed. Ziling was Lou Qingyi's personal maid. She did things neatly and would not make such a low-level mistake as forgetting to take the lady's picture scroll.

Then the only explanation may be that the scroll was lost on the way.
