Chapter 23 I Forgive You
During the Tang Dynasty, it was popular to eat separately from the table, especially on relatively important occasions.
However, most of the aggregation in the family eat around the large dining table, which makes it look intimate and joyful.
The small restaurant in Shangguan Tingzhi's courtyard is also decorated like this.
In order to increase the intimacy between Luo Ziling and Shangguan Qingzhi, Shangguan Tingzhi and Zheng naturally asked them to sit together. The dining table was not big, and they could only sit at most six people. Shangguan Tingzhi and Zheng also deliberately occupied a relatively large position, but Luo Ziling and Shangguan Qingzhi almost sat next to each other.
Luo Ziling was quite embarrassed, but Shangguan Qingzhi was generous.
The supper was very rich and the host was very enthusiastic.
However, Luo Ziling remembered the lesson he learned at noon and didn't drink much wine.
Those with alcohol base like beer also need to get drunk, the key is the amount.
Shangguan Qingzhi took the initiative to raise her glass to toast Luo Ziling: "I forgive you!"
"It's really just an accidental collision!" Luo Ziling was still a little embarrassed.
He could tell the meaning of Shangguan Tingzhi and Zheng.
They were not telling jokes, but they wanted to match him and Shangguan Qingzhi very seriously.
When we met on the first day, we just met Shangguan Tingzhi. He wanted him to be the son-in-law of the Shangguan family. Luo Ziling felt that after he came to the Tang Dynasty, he encountered all the ridiculous things. Is the attitude of ancient people toward marriage too silly?
"If you don't fight, you won't know each other!" Zheng said in a pun: "If Qingzhi hadn't come to see you sober up, you might not have known each other today."
"I didn't hit her, she almost hit me!" Luo Ziling pointed at Shangguan Qingzhi and laughed, "Fortunately she is not a martial arts master, otherwise I would have been beaten."
Shangguan Qingzhi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She glared at Luo Ziling angrily, "I thought you were a little thief who broke into the mansion and stole!"
"Hey, don't bother with each other," Shangguan Tingzhi asked Shangguan Tingzhi, "Little sister, do you think Ziling is very knowledgeable now?"
"It's just that I have read a few more books than others." Shangguan Qingzhi rolled his eyes at his brother, "And he is older than me. When I reach his age, I may have the same knowledge as him!"
After hearing this, Luo Ziling smiled without saying a word.
Don’t say it, Shangguan Qingzhi is a very cute girl.
She looks beautiful, has a good figure, and the youthful aura emits from her body is so attractive.
Luo Ziling subconsciously compared her with Helan Minyue.
If you evaluate two people from the perspective of a mature man, Luo Ziling will definitely fall in love with women like Shangguan Qingzhi.
But if you look at a young woman in her early twenties, you must be the slim figure and the pretty and naughty Helan Minyue is even more charming.
Just like fish and bear's paw - how great would it be if a man could have both fish and bear's paw?
There was something better in ancient times than in modern times, that is, it could legally own many women. The higher the status, the more women a man could have.
A man with a high status and outstanding status, and a richer woman who is qualified to have.
Although you can only have one wife, you can also have a concubine.
The Tang Dynasty was very open, and the love between men and women was the same. In addition to wives and concubines, there were lovers - this is how those historical celebrities played.
Of course, if you want to be romantic and happy in ancient times, you need a certain status. Only with status can those outstanding women fall into your arms.
When thinking about things related to women, Luo Ziling felt that his scumbag nature had been completely exposed.
After drinking and eating, Luo Ziling was about to say goodbye.
"After you are closed, ordinary people cannot go out, otherwise they will be caught by Jinwu Guards." Shangguan Tingzhi said with a smile: "The guest room is ready, so stay in the mansion for one night, and I will go back tomorrow morning!"
Shangguan Tingzhi has arranged an evening activity. The couple teased the child and gave Luo Ziling more opportunities to contact with Shangguan Qingzhi. Tomorrow, his son Shangguan Kun'er could ask Luo Ziling for advice.
Shangguan Kun'er went to school in the Imperial College. After Shangguan Tingzhi returned to his place, he realized that he would not come back tonight.
I will be off school after noon tomorrow. One day and a half holiday, Shangguan Tingzhi wants Luo Ziling to meet with his son.
His father Shangguan Yi may also come back tomorrow. He is planning to introduce Luo Ziling to his father and let his father appreciate Luo Ziling's talent.
But Luo Ziling stubbornly wanted to go back and asked Shangguan Tingzhi to send a car to see him off.
The Jinwu Guards generally dare not stop the carriages of Shangguan’s house, let alone search them.
The curfew policy mainly targets ordinary people. When high-ranking officials and nobles go out at night, they will still be unobstructed. Haven’t you seen that the gates of the mansions of many high-ranking officials and nobles open directly to the streets, rather than facing the small streets and alleys in the yard like other families.
"Master Sun will definitely go back to the inn today. We need to discuss some things. I am afraid that I will miss Master Sun's affairs, so I still have to go back. Please ask Brother Gong Bi to send me a message!" No matter how Shangguan Tingzhi and his wife tried to keep him, Luo Ziling insisted on going back.
After hearing Luo Ziling say this, Shangguan Tingzhi finally stopped insisting and was about to send a carriage to take him back.
"Since you have an appointment with Master Sun and want to discuss important matters, I dare not keep you. If you mislead your affairs, it is mine." Shangguan Tingzhi said regretfully: "Then I will stay in the mansion for a day or two next time."
"Sure!" Luo Ziling did not refuse.
It is also a pity that Luo Ziling is leaving.
After contacting Luo Ziling directly, she had changed her views on this young talented man.
Luo Ziling's talent was better than she thought. She read the poem he wrote carefully, and she really liked the more she read it.
"There are few people who love to live and enjoy life, and they are willing to love their daughter and smile," she said so much to her heart.
Originally, she thought that tonight she would put aside the girl's reserve, take the initiative to discuss something with Luo Ziling, and ask him more advice, but she didn't expect that Luo Ziling would leave stubbornly.
Very disappointed!
When she sent Luo Ziling out, she said a regretful thing softly: "I originally wanted to ask Mr. Luo for advice, so I can only leave it to the next time I meet."
"I'm really sorry, let's go another day," Luo Ziling felt a little embarrassed as soon as he said that.
In later generations, I read too many jokes on the Internet, and the words "The next day" have special meanings.
"See you in the future, I hope you will have the opportunity to listen to Mr. Luo's teachings more!" Shangguan Qingzhi bowed to Luo Ziling Yingying and stepped back two steps to stand still.
Shangguan Qingzhi's words made Luo Ziling feel evil again. He couldn't help but smile awkwardly, then jumped into the carriage and said goodbye to Shangguan Tingzhi and his wife who were sent out.
After Luo Ziling left, Shangguan Tingzhi asked her: "How about Mr. Luo?"
"No?" Seeing his brother's playful look on his face, Shangguan Qingzhi replied angrily: "Did you bring him back on purpose?"
"Well, I deliberately got him drunk and brought him back." Shangguan Tingzhi did not deny it, and said with emotion: "Qingzhi, brother has been worried about your lifelong event!"
Shangguan Qingzhi's face turned red and she spat at Shangguan Tingzhi hatefully, "I don't care about my business! Humph!"
Seeing Shangguan Qingzhi's appearance, Shangguan Tingzhi laughed heartlessly.
