Chapter 42: Shangguan Qingzhi's Request

When I quickly walked to the gate, I saw Shangguan Tingzhi and Shangguan Qingzhi standing at the door.

Shangguan Tingzhi was dressed in a shirt, and Shangguan Qingzhi was wearing a small hat in Hu, looking very handsome, which made Luo Ziling unable to help but take a few more glances.

As a result, Shangguan Qingzhi rolled his eyes.

"Brother Gongbi," Luo Ziling saluted Shangguan Tingzhi, and laughed again: "I just moved here and you chased after me. You are so agile!"

"Congratulations to Ziling, I found my companion." Shangguan Tingzhi laughed and congratulated, "I was idle today. Qingzhi said I wanted to find you, no, Qingzhi and I were idle and wanted to come to you for a drink. Unexpectedly, when I went to the inn where you were staying, I was told that you had just moved out. After asking where you lived, we rushed over to congratulate you."

Shangguan Tingzhi said, instructing his followers to bring the gifts.

Shangguan Tingzhi and Shangguan Qingzhi came over and actually brought gifts. Luo Ziling was a little surprised.

The gifts given by Shangguan Tingzhi were several calligraphy and paintings, including his own, and his father Shangguan Yi.

Luo Ziling knew the value of these gifts.

It was a very glorious thing to hang the calligraphy and paintings of the prime minister of the dynasty in front of the hall.

It's not that easy for ordinary people to get.

Luo Ziling did not entertain Shangguan Tingzhi and Shangguan Qingzhi in the outer hall, but led them directly to his yard.

Before leading Shangguan Tingzhi and Shangguan Qingzhi into the courtyard where he lived, Luo Ziling asked someone to hang several calligraphy and paintings given by Shangguan Tingzhi in the main hall.

Shangguan Tingzhi gave him three calligraphy and paintings, one of which was a poem written by Shangguan Yi himself.

Flowers light butterflies mess with immortal apricots,

Ye Mi Ying Tings the Emperor's daughter Mang.

Spring is coming in Feiyun Pavilion,

The night is in the bright moon building.

This poem is quite good, and Luo Ziling has seen it in later generations.

Shangguan Yi's calligraphy is also very good, with square regular script, showing its style.

There is also a picture of peony and two characters.

What surprised Luo Ziling was that the Peony Picture was actually the work of Shangguan Qingzhi.

"I hang all the works of your family in the main hall," Luo Ziling said to Shangguan Tingzhi and Shangguan Qingzhi with a smile: "Your father and you are both talented and experienced. When I see your calligraphy and paintings, I can only admire you."

"How dare you praise Zi Ling like this?" Shangguan Tingzhi smiled and modestly, "Compared with you, Qingzhi and I are not worth mentioning at all. I will ask you more questions in the future."

Luo Ziling said he didn't dare.

Luo Ziling praised her for her good paintings, and Shangguan Qingzhi was quite proud.

Today she and Shangguan Tingzhi went to Luo Ziling's inn to look for it, but learned that Luo Ziling had moved.

They guessed that Luo Ziling had found his companion and had a new residence, so they went home and took calligraphy and paintings to congratulate him.

Shangguan Qingzhi brought this peony picture he liked the most and gave it to Luo Ziling.

After receiving Luo Ziling's praise and hanging her paintings in the main hall, she looked very happy.

However, she didn't want to show her happiness, so she held back her smile with her little face, making people feel weird when she looked at her.

Because there was a servant, Luo Ziling did not joke with Shangguan Qingzhi.

After hanging up the calligraphy and paintings, Luo Ziling welcomed the brother and sister to his yard.

Hearing the movement, Xiaoyun quickly came out to greet him.

After asking Shangguan Tingzhi and Shangguan Qingzhi to sit down, Xiaoyun brought tea and then retreated obediently to Luo Ziling and waited for instructions.

After Luo Ziling introduced it proudly, he asked Shangguan Qingzhi with a smile: "Miss Qingzhi, your outfit is really good to see, making me ashamed!"

I asked Xiaoyun again: "Xiaoyun, is his outfit better than me?"

Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment and said reluctantly: "It looks as good as the young master."

In fact, he wanted to say that Luo Ziling was more beautiful, but he knew that saying this would make Shangguan Qingzhi unhappy, so he said something against his will.

No one is as handsome as his own young master, which is Xiaoyun's very firm point.

After this brief separation, Luo Ziling became more handsome and more masculine than before. Whenever he had eye contact, Xiaoyun's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.

Xiaoyun is already seventeen, and she doesn't understand the matter between men and women. She feels danger from Shangguan Qingzhi's eyes, so she has an instinctive hostility towards this beautiful woman in men's clothing.

Luo Ziling actually said such words to her in person. Shangguan Qingzhi, who deliberately pretended to be reserved, suddenly turned red. She glared at Luo Ziling hatefully and said unhappy again: "Young Master Luo likes to joke with others so much?"

"It's not just a joke, it's a sincere praise!" Luo Ziling smiled at Shangguan Qingzhi, and then said to Shangguan Tingzhi: "Brother Gongbi, do you think so?"

"Qingzhi looks good in nature, and I really feel ashamed of her appearance in men's clothing." Shangguan Tingzhi of course praised his sister for her beauty. He likes to see Shangguan Qingzhi and Luo Ziling flirting.

This shows that the two of them have a good impression of each other, and quarrels with each other are just manifestations of happy enemies.

Luo Ziling pointed to the main hall in the courtyard where he lived, saying that he had fewer calligraphy and paintings here, and hoped that Shangguan Qingzhi and Shangguan Tingzhi could give him another one or two gifts. Shangguan Tingzhi agreed readily, saying that Luo Ziling would not dislike him, and he would definitely give it to him.

Shangguan Qingzhi looked disgusted and said that she had no time to paint.

Even if there are calligraphy and paintings, I don’t want to send Luo Ziling to you anymore. Who knows how he will deal with it?

After saying a few jokes, Shangguan Tingzhi also officially explained his purpose.

Yesterday, after his father Shangguan Yi came back, he told his father about the situation related to Luo Ziling.

After hearing what Shangguan Tingzhi said, Shangguan Yi was also a little surprised.

"My father wants to see you and see with his own eyes the handsome young man." Shangguan Tingzhi looked at Shangguan Qingzhi with a narrow face with a pink face, and said in a punctuation: "If my father also praised you, that would be a great thing!"

"I will definitely come to visit you later...your father!" Luo Ziling suddenly didn't know what he called Shangguan Yi.

During the Tang Dynasty, there was no habit of calling officials "adults", and the old man seemed to be disrespectful to him, so he had a headache.

"I understand that my father is at home, I wonder if you are free, Ziling?" Shangguan Tingzhi did not make any polite mistakes and directly sent an invitation.

"Brother Gong Bi invited me to see your father. Even if I don't have time, I will definitely become available!" Luo Ziling did not refuse and accepted it readily.

Shangguan Qingzhi sat down and said nothing. After hearing the two men talked about this, she finally spoke.

"Young Master Luo, can you ask for a poem?" She made a request very seriously.

"What are you doing?" Luo Ziling suddenly felt alert.

He doesn't want to do such despicable things again.
