Chapter 4: Sisters

Qu Moran said that Shen Yunzhou likes ancient calligraphy and painting, especially the authentic works of Xiaoyaozi.

Xiaoyaozi's paintings have not been handed down much, Liu Yunxiang is worried, where did she get it in such a short period of time.

Qu Moran smiled, "I'm not in a hurry, I'll draw one for you." ”

"Huh?"

Qu Moran secretly took Liu Yunxiang to his courtyard, splashed a few strokes of ink in the study, and painted a landscape painting, the lines are extremely simple, but the meaning is very good.

"Can this fool him?"

Isn't it a fox, it must be very shrewd, it won't be so easy to deceive, right?

Qu Moran snickered: "I once used three of my own paintings of Xiaoyaozi's true works to coax him to become my person." ”

The corners of Liu Yunxiang's mouth twitched: "I once guessed that he was the kind of man who was unkind and unrighteous and forced you to be her concubine." ”

"The first time I saw him, it was when he was the first in his new department, when he was named the champion in the palace exam, riding a tall horse, and parading the streets with a big red flower on his chest. The eyes of the list were all smiling and excited, but he yawned and didn't seem to wake up. I noticed him at a glance, and he was so good-looking, I liked everything. Later, I tried to sneak into his house as a maid, but I could only serve in the outer courtyard, so I thought of a way. ”

Liu Yunxiang asked curiously: "What method?"

Remember the URL

"I poisoned him. ”

"Huh?"

"This poison will give him headaches and frequent nosebleeds, but ordinary doctors will only treat him according to the urgency. He didn't heal for a long time, and that's when I took the opportunity to meet him and offer my own recipe. He took my medicine and naturally got better quickly. He wanted to thank me and asked me what I wanted, and I said I wanted to be a big girl for him, and he agreed, and then I went to him to serve. He doesn't eat sex, he thinks about how to get promoted and make a fortune all day long, and then he buries his head in books, and his only hobby is collecting calligraphy and paintings. I seduced me many times, and when I used all kinds of tricks, he didn't even look at me much. After more than a year like this, I also lost patience, so I simply drew three calligraphy and paintings of Xiaoyaozi by myself, and told him bluntly that if you want to get these three paintings, you should marry me. He said that it is not okay to marry as a concubine, because I am not from a high background, but I can be accepted as a concubine, I don't care, anyway, I only covet his beauty. ”

"That's it?"

"yes. ”

"He didn't see that your painting was fake?"

Qu Moran smiled proudly, "Xiaoyaozi is my ancestor, although I haven't seen him, but my master often asks me to copy his paintings." The charm of the brushwork, the seven-seven-eighty-eight that I mastered, and the paintings that were painted were slightly old, and ordinary people couldn't see them. ”

"Why did your master ask you to copy your ancestor's paintings?"

"This is not because there are many brothers in the medicine valley, and the master can't afford to raise them, so he can only make money by selling fake paintings. ”

“……”

"Don't worry, we're all scrambled with people who have done bad things and still have money. ”

Qu Mo Ran hands and feet neatly, and he had already made the painting good, rolled it up and handed it to Liu Yunxiang.

"You said that you bought this painting from a master and spent 10,000 taels. ”

Liu Yunxiang was a little apprehensive in his heart, would he really not be discovered?

That is Shen Yunzhou, a young official to the criminal department, a character who makes Yan Du have a headache when he hears it.

However, there is no other way, Liu Yunxiang can only bite the bullet.

handed over the greeting post again, and it was already three days after seeing Shen Yunzhou.

Liu Yunxiang was too lazy to make a mistake, and directly unfolded the painting to Shen Yunzhou, clearly bribing him.

Shen Yunzhou looked at the painting, but stared at it motionlessly, and only praised it for a long time: "The painting is a good painting, it is a real work." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang breathed a sigh of relief first.

"Xiaoyaozi's landscape painting is such three strokes and two strokes, which seems perfunctory, but in fact it is full of meaning. ”

Liu Yunxiang glanced at it and thought to himself that this was not perfunctory, but really perfunctory. One more stroke, the ink dyeing probably feels like a waste of pen and ink.

Shen Yunzhou knocked on the table with his index finger, obviously measuring something, and then he closed his hand and looked up at Liu Yunxiang.

"The land can be sold to you, but what about the grain tax?"

Liu Yunxiang said: "Naturally, it is handed over in full. ”

Shen Yunzhou shook his head, "Add one more." ”

Liu Yunxiang sighed, "Whether this crop can grow well or not, whether it can be harvested or not, I am taking a huge risk, and I could not have made much money. ”

"I did the math carefully, and Madame still earned, although not much. ”

Liu Yunxiang was silent, "Half Cheng." ”

"It's not impossible. ”

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

"I want you Lingyun to open a medicine store here, collect medicinal materials locally, trade them locally, and form a medicine market. ”

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, "My lord is really scheming, let's prescribe a medicine store is small, what we really want to borrow from us Lingyun is a golden signboard." ”

After all, it is a signboard given by the Queen Mother, and its influence should not be underestimated.

Shen Yunzhou straightened his posture, "Madam, if this matter is done, Shen will thank you on behalf of the people." ”

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Okay, a word is a certainty, what about the title deed?"

"Sign it now. ”

But later, Liu Yunxiang thought about it, why Shen Yunzhou deliberately dragged her, in fact, he was testing her, and seeing that she was in a hurry to find him again and again, he increased his weight little by little.

If she really picks her son and quits, Shen Yunzhou is more anxious than her.

Sure enough, it's a cunning fox!

Before the beginning of spring, Liu Yunxiang had already hired people to start cultivating the land, and there were too many places to spend money at the moment, there was no salary, and she was in charge of two meals a day, but she was guaranteed to reclaim the land for her to plant her land.

When the seeds were about to be planted in the spring, the river was finally dug to soak the arid land with water before planting the seeds.

The days are getting warmer, and the seeds are sprouting and breaking through the ground.

This year, the geese returned to the city, and crops finally grew on the wasteland.

At this time, the medicine store also opened, because of the signboard of Lingyun, coupled with the good quality of the medicinal materials in the north, other medicine stores were afraid of being robbed of business by Lingyun, so they also opened medicine stores here.

Liu Yunxiang specially set aside a piece of land to grow medicinal materials, and the growth was also very good.

On this day in May, Liu Yunxiang came back from the suburbs, pushed the door into the courtyard, and first smelled the smoke and fire, which was also mixed with the aroma of barbecue. Looking at it again, there was a fire in the courtyard, and the whole robe was roasting on the fire, and Yan Du was sitting on the side, turning the grill with one hand and holding Xingyi with the other.

Xingyi hugged Yan Dui's neck, Yan Dui lowered her head and kissed the little girl's forehead from time to time, and the relationship between father and daughter was very good.

Liu Yunxiang stepped forward and asked, "Why did you come back?"

Yan Du glanced up at her, "I hunted a robe in the woods and wanted you to taste it. ”

Liu Yunxiang was slightly stunned, so he ran hundreds of miles with this robe, just to let their mother and daughter taste it?

At night, Yan Du and the beggar ate meat and drank wine, Liu Yunxiang sat with them for a while, and then took Xingyi to sleep. After coaxing the little girl to fall asleep, Liu Yunxiang came out of the house and saw that the beggar was already drunk, and Yan Du was drinking alone.

"I want to drink it too. Liu Yunxiang held a bowl and said.

Yan Du poured her a little, "This wine is strong, you drink less." ”

Liu Yunxiang took a sip, it was indeed very spicy, and then Yan Duan handed her a piece of meat, and she ate it with his hand.

"Is Shuoxi still cold?" she asked.

"It's not cold. ”

"Have you ever fought?"

"Nope. ”

He didn't talk much, Liu Yunxiang didn't have anything to say, and after drinking the rest of the wine, she got up and went back to the house.

But she couldn't sleep, tossed and turned, and then got up and sat on the Luohan bed, looking out of the window.

Under the moonlight, Yan Dusk sat on the steps, and had no intention of entering the house.

This sat and sat all night.

Lonely men and widows, he knows how to avoid suspicion.
