Chapter 88 Temptation
This is actually a bit vicious!
As a famous prodigy in Chang'an City, if Wu Sansi's words were spread, it would be almost time to call him a little pervert, and the reputation of the prodigy would be over!
Shangguan Wan'er paused with the wine cup, and it was nothing unusual. Princess Taiping flew to Wu Sansi and was about to speak, but Zhang Changzong had already smiled and said, "Is that right? My mother was worried about growing up like this and she would not be able to find a wife in the future. Please come to Wu Gong Jiyan."
Wu Sansi paused a smile on his face and asked, "Although Liu Lang's new poem has not been completed, the poem is quite touching. I don't know where such a beautiful lady was seen? It can actually lead to Liu Lang's poetry. If he could find it, maybe Liu Lang would have the inspiration to write a complete poem?"
After asking this, even Wu showed an interesting look. Zhang Changzong said, "Thank you, Mr. Wu, reminded me, but the boy has forgotten where he saw it. Is he very beautiful... Now, he seems to have an ordinary appearance. At that time, he happened to have a special expression, which touched the boy. After getting these few broken poems, he went to think hard about the poems, but forgot to look at people."
Sure enough, she is still an unintentional child!
It was difficult for Wu Sansi to lead down because Wu had already pointed at Zhang Changzong and cursed: "Liu Lang's attitude is so good that he has a bit of a celebrity style, but not a bad person. In the end, he was busy writing poems and forgot to read the beauty, which made him a bit stupid."
Zhang Changzong protested in dissatisfaction: "Empress Dowager, you praised the boy for being smart a few days ago, why did you become stupid today?"
Wu asked back, "Can you be so stupid?"
Zhang Changzong replied: "The words are always smart and clever, and it is better to be praised than to be fooled."
Wu smiled slightly and said, "I think it's good to be stupid. If Liulang is not stupid, why would he be like a day after years, and never put down the papers every day, study hard and study hard, not thinking it's hard, but rather thinking it's happy?"
It turns out that's what it means.
Zhang Changzong smiled shyly and bowed, "Thank you for the praise of the Queen Mother. In fact, the boy is not as good as the Queen Mother praised. To be honest, the boy also wants to slack off. However, when he thought of having promised the Queen Mother and his master, he also wanted his mother, and uncles should study hard. If they can't do it... a man, how can he meet people in the future? Besides, reading is actually quite interesting. There are many things in life that boys can't understand, but compared with the words of the sages, it seems that the world has become simple and transparent! The sages are so powerful. They live their lives. The sages can understand some meanings, but some people can only be mediocre. Queen Mother, you said, why are there such a big difference between people? Why are there these differences?"
In the past two years, because of Master Wan'er's relationship, Zhang Changzong often walked in the palace and contacted Wu's family gradually became more and more. Putting aside prejudices, Wu's family is actually quite familiar with literature and history. Before he was confused by male lust, he was actually a woman with quite political talents and literary talent.
When Shangguan Wan'er taught Zhang Changzong, Wu sometimes became interested and would give Zhang Changzong a few words, which made Zhang Changzong look a lot more about her. Nowadays, sometimes she asked Zhang Changzong, and sometimes Zhang Changzong asked her about her. As long as it did not involve topics such as appearance, one old and one young could have a harmonious conversation.
Zhang Changzong's question raised Wu's interest, and he looked thoughtful. After a moment, he said: "I also want to know this. I think that for thousands of years, there are countless people who want to know the mystery, but no one can answer it accurately. Otherwise, there are more than just a few sages in this world? This is also the reason why talents appear precious is that there are always fewer wise people and more mediocre people."
"Boy is taught."
Zhang Changzong nodded. This question was actually used by Master Wan'er to guide him when he first became a disciple. Over the years, he has been thinking about this issue and wants to hear what others say if he has the opportunity.
Look, it’s so interesting between people. Master Wan’er and the future Empress have different views on the same question. Master Wan’er’s answer is more scholarly, with a sense of exploration; while Her Majesty’s statement is more biased towards the perspective of the superior.
From this question, Her Majesty the Queen saw that talent is rare, and those who are superior should cherish talents. There are completely different angles and answers from Shangguan Wan'er... As a teacher, Zhang Changzong really thinks this difference is very interesting.
Princess Taiping saw that the discussion had come to an end, raised her hand and patted Zhang Changzong on the head and said, "Today is a festival. My mother is busy all day long and has a rare leisure time. Don't bother my mother and say this. Not only will it disturb her mother's interest, but it will also make her tired. Let her relax today."
"What Your Highness said is that the boy is ignorant. The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, Xiu'er's sister plays the zither well. How can I let Xiu'er play the zither well?"
Zhang Changzong was so kind that he reciprocated his favor. Princess Taiping looked at him with praise, and then looked at his mother expectantly. Seeing Xue Chongxiu, who had been very quiet in front of her, Wu was quite surprised: "Siu'er can play the zither at such a young age?"
Princess Taiping said: "By mother, this child has a bit of talent in music and a quiet temperament. He has learned well at a young age."
Wu looked at Xue Chongxiu's eyes. In her impression, this child was taught well in terms of novel etiquette. If she asked her to answer generously, she could still be quiet and unrestrained. Such a temperament would be stable, but it was not outstanding enough. In her eyes, her impression of her was not as deep as that of Liulang... But such a child could be as good as that of the lively and naughty Liulang, which is a strange thing.
Wu's eyes were scrutinized and nodded, "It's good that everyone gathered in Qujiangchi today. It's rare for me to listen to Xiu'er's zither, I should follow my predecessors and enjoy the joy of family."
Princess Taiping hurriedly said, "Since my mother is interested, it is Xiu'er's blessing. However, she is still young and the zither in the palace is big, so she can't play it. Since my mother wants to hear it, my daughter will send people back to her house to pick up Xiu'er's zither."
"Xiao Zheng?"
"It was Shaolang who spoiled the child. Seeing that Xiu'er liked the rhythm, he sent a craftsman to see her hand shape and made a zither that fits the size, which made her mother laugh."
Wu smiled and nodded, saying nothing, but asked Princess Taiping to send someone back to pick up Xue Chongxiu's zither.
When talking about the prince-in-law Xue Shao, Zhang Changzong paid special attention to Wu's expression. However, she is worthy of being a person who has been through the storm and waves. Zhang Changzong, a little rookie, could not see her thoughts even though she was a human being for two lifetimes. She couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
