Ding Zhiqiu took Ke Naqi to Qingzhou City for seven or eight days. The www.biquge.info Qingzhou Street is still bustling and lively, and the two of them are dressed as merchants, and they have seen the sixteen city gates inside and outside the city in the endless flow of people.

As a result, as Konaqi received, all the gates in the city, large and small, were already being repaired. In particular, the four outer gates are not only being repaired, but also overhauled. The north city gate has strengthened the city wall, and the place where the underground passage of the city gate has sunk has been reinforced.

The city looked as calm as usual, but if you look closely, you can see that the number of officers and soldiers patrolling outside the city has increased, and people entering and leaving the city gates have begun to be interrogated. The defense of the entire Qingzhou City seems to be loose, but it has actually been strengthened, showing a state of looseness on the outside and tightness on the inside.

The two walked up to a restaurant with a window on the street, and through the window of the restaurant, a large mansion with blue bricks and gray tiles could be seen in the distance.

The food and drinks were put on the table, and the man withdrew. Ding Zhiqiu was dressed in a scarlet brocade robe, with thick and fluffy hair tied up, dressed as a Song person, and he looked a little handsome and noble. He glanced at the distant house outside the window and asked Ke Naqi: "All these days have passed, what is the movement in that house?" ”

But Naqi poured him wine and replied respectfully: "According to our eyeliner, since Jiang Gan came back, Jiang Li stayed in the room every day to study a piece of brocade. Haven't been out of the house these days. ”

Naqi continued: "She looked for an opportunity to get close to Jiang Li, but unfortunately she didn't know about brocade. It is only said that it is a slightly shabby brocade, which looks precious, and pinched gold wire, which is estimated to be some age. But she said that Jiang Li was very fascinated by that piece of tapestry, and studied it in her hands day and night. And Jiang Gan also seemed to be very interested in that section of brocade, and from time to time he would ask Jiang Li if he had seen it. ”

Seeing Ding Zhiqiu raised his eyebrows, Na Qi understood what he meant, "Sixth brother, doesn't he think that the brocade in Jiang Li's hand is the "Splendid Rivers and Mountains Map" we are looking for? ”

"It's possible." Ding Zhiqiu nodded lightly.

But Naqi scratched his head, "I inquired clearly, there are several master guards in the house, even a girl named Xiaoxiang next to her is a master, Jiang Li has to keep that piece of brocade as if it were a treasure, and it is almost impossible for our people to steal that piece of tapestry from it." ”

Ding Zhiqiu glanced at it and said: "It's useless for them to hold it in their hands for so long, but it's also very troublesome to open that picture, it's better to wait." ”

The two continued to drink. Glancing out the window, he saw the door of the house open, and a carriage came out of it. "Could it be Jiang Li who came out?" Ding Zhiqiu glanced at Ke Naqi, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

The day after Xiao Yu came, Jiang Gan came back with the remaining half of Gu Jin.

Jiang Gan only said that he had returned to Nanchen once. Qingzhou is not far from Nanchen, and Jiang Gan should go back to his hometown when he arrives in Qingzhou, and he does not doubt Jiang Gan's words.

As soon as Jiang Gan came back, he handed over the remaining half of the tattered brocade to Jiang Li. Jiang Gan hugged the brocade box and said to Jiang Li: "The brocade that was handed over to you last time is only half of it, and I also found the rest of the half for you." Although you have already graduated, do you want to try it again? ”

Jiang Gan opened the brocade box, Jiang Li saw the half of the ancient brocade inside, his eyes lit up instantly, he nodded busily, and took the brocade box from Jiang Gan's hands with both hands.

A big stone in Jiang Gan's heart finally fell to the ground, and he breathed a long sigh of relief. Jiang Gan still took Jiang Ju to read and play chess, and sometimes went to several workshops outside the city, and from time to time he also went to see how Jiang Li restored that section of the brocade.

Jiang Li was fascinated by this half of the antique brocade, and every day from the study to the wing where the loom was placed, he began to study and think without distinction between night and day.

Jiang Li originally thought that he had restored more than half of the strong brocade before, and this half should not be as difficult as before. Who knew that the brocade that Jiang Gan handed over to her this time was even more damaged, and the surface of the brocade had traces of fire, and she could restore the missing small part with the conversion of the color of the warp and weft surfaces, but there were many broken places, and even she couldn't find a clue at all.

After thinking about it for seven or eight days behind closed doors, she still had no clue, so she took Xiaoxiang out on this day, thinking that she might be able to find some inspiration and go around the workshop outside the city.

Jiang Li sat in the carriage and groaned, with Xiao Xiang sitting beside him, and it was Sixi who drove the car.

I don't know how long I walked, but I heard Sixi say outside the car that the city gate was being repaired in front of him, and the road out of the city was a little blocked, so he asked Jiang Li if he was waiting in place or finding a place to rest.

Jiang Li's mind was full of thinking about the half of the brocade, and she didn't even hear a word about what Sixi asked. Xiaoxiang had to ask again.

"Oh! Repair the city gates? Jiang Li woke up from deep thought, "Where are we?" ”

"North Gate." Xiaoxiang said.

When Jiang Li heard this, he lifted the curtain and got out of the car, "Let's take a look." ”

Sixi parked the car in place, Jiang Li took Xiaoxiang to the city gate to take a look, only to see that the city gate was excavating the sinking ground, and the excavated stones and soil accounted for most of the road out of the city.

Jiang Li looked at the notice, and saw that the scene was in full swing, so he was also relieved of the 100,000 taels of silver donated. The road continued to be blocked, and the carriage could not pass. Jiang Li didn't plan to go out of the city after thinking about it, so he asked Sixi to find someone to ask which bookstore was the largest nearby. Sixi asked a few people, came back and pulled the horse's head, and then returned to the city.

Xiaoxiang asked curiously, "What is the girl looking for a bookstore to do?" ”

"What else can I do, buy books." Jiang Li replied.

"So many books at home!" Xiao Xiang muttered.

"Actually, I want to go to the bookstore to find out if there is a map of Nanchen." Jiang Li's mind was still thinking about that piece of tapestry. At this time, she suddenly had a clue in her heart.

The scriptures are maps, and some of them draw plane maps, planes outlined with lines. And some of the scriptures are prints, the kind of landscape paintings. Thinking about it all the way, she remembered the "Splendid Rivers and Mountains" mentioned by her cousin Mei Zixuan, and the more she thought about it now, the more she felt that the picture in her hand was that picture.

Since "Splendid Rivers and Mountains" comes from Nanchen, the landscape painting on it should also be the landscape of Nanchen, so Jiang Li wanted to find Nanchen's land and ponder it carefully.

Sixi had just turned around in the carriage, and the person who had been questioned by Sixi was stopped again, "What did that person ask you just now?" ”

As soon as the man raised his head, he immediately trembled: "Zhou Gongzi-" Zhou Hong glared: "What about you, why don't you say it?" ”

The man came to his senses and replied, "The man asked me which bookstore was the biggest in the neighborhood." Zhou Hongyi said happily: "Originally, they went to the bookstore!" Oh yes, which bookstore did you answer? ”

"Isn't it the Qiu Shuang Zhai on East Street?" The man didn't finish speaking, and saw that Zhou Hong was actually rushing to the East Street.

The two people on the tall horse, Ding Zhiqiu and Ke Naqi, heard Zhou Hong's question just now clearly, the two glanced at each other, and also went to Qiushuangzhai.
