Chapter 257

Xie Ning immediately frowned, looked at Gu Qingyun with a dissatisfied expression, and while reaching out to take it into his arms, he couldn't help but complain.

Gu Qingyun smiled slightly, but her eyebrows were a little more coquettish than before, "When the strings are broken, it is unlucky." Moreover, I have seen blood on my hands again...... The maids at home are all waiting outside, and it is really inconvenient for me to make a noise. ā€

Xie Ning understood Gu Qingyun's concerns, but she was in Shudi, she had been on the battlefield repeatedly, her sword had no eyes, and she gradually became a doctor after a long time.

Seeing that there were still beads of blood oozing from the new wound on Gu Qingyun's hand, where could she still sit still, holding the clean handkerchief that she had just found in her arms, she pulled Gu Qingyun out of Lanyue Tower under the pretext of water escape.

The hospitality of the dignified Shangshu Mansion will naturally not let the two of them be left alone. It wasn't until he walked to the clean room that Xie Ning had the opportunity to separate the two little maids who were following him, "I'll go in with Miss Gu, and please wait outside." ā€

"Yes."

All the way from Lanyue Tower to the clean room by Xie Ning, Gu Qingyun couldn't help but ask the doubts in her heart until this time, "Sister Ning, what are you going to do?" ā€

"Bandage you," Xie Ning raised his eyes and smiled, and then regardless of whether the other party agreed or not, he couldn't help but pull her injured right hand over.

Xu was already aware of Xie Ning's stubbornness, Gu Qingyun had no intention of resisting, and even took the initiative to stretch out her hand a few inches, "Hmm." ā€

Seeing her cooperate like this, Xie Ning's strength loosened a little, and turned around and walked to the copper basin on the side. Bending over to pick up a pinch of water, he gently cleaned the wounds on the other party's hands.

"Hiss......" The injury was touched, and Gu Qingyun couldn't help but gasp.

It's no wonder that she reacted so much, after all, she is a pampered Miss Xiangfu, who has been held in the palm of her hand by the people around her since she urinated, but I am afraid that she has never been sick a few times, let alone injured.

Thinking of this, Shain's action of raising his hand to wipe it was a little lighter.

There was no ointment at the moment, so Xie Ning could only take water and treat it simply to ensure that Gu Qingyun's injuries were clean. Then he took out the veil that was on his body. Bandage Gu Qingyun.

"Okay," Shainin looked at the flat bandage covering the wound and clapped his hands, very satisfied.

Gu Qingyun lowered her head and smiled. Then he looked at Shainin. The voice said happily: "Thank you Sister Ning." ā€

Xie Ning waved his hand very boldly. He didn't care: "No need to be polite. As soon as he spoke, his eyes fell on Gu Qingyun's hand again, and his heart moved. He pulled down the sleeves of his shirt that he had rolled up to facilitate bandaging, "Sister Gu, when you sit down, just hide your hands in your sleeves like this." That way, no one else will be able to see that you have a wound on your hand. ā€

"Okay," Gu Qingyun really did as she said, and in front of Xie Ning, she clenched Qianqianyu's hand into a fist, slightly blocking the scar that crossed the knuckles, and covered it with her sleeve, and the injury was already not visible.

The problem was solved, and the two did not delay too much and returned to Lanyue Tower along the same road. Xie Ning remembered the matter of being traceless, and wanted to search for the other party's figure on the way, but who knew that the other party's concealment skill was too high, and there was interference from the servants around him, and for a while, Xie Ning was not able to agree.

Not being able to find no trace had made Xie Ning very frustrated, but when she returned to Lanyue Tower, she realized that what made her depressed was still to come.

"Mrs. Hui, the painting that the little woman just made has been completed."

Wei Qingcheng's voice came from the front, all the way from the outside of the building to the seat, although he could still hear a trace of panic in her voice, Xie Ning couldn't help but be a little surprised by her appearance at this time, which was very different from usual.

Surprised and surprised, it was also a good thing that Wei Chengcheng was able to overcome the cowardice in his heart. Although her actions at this time are very likely to be related to Xiao Yan. Shainin didn't take this matter to heart.

It wasn't until Mrs. Xiao saw the painting made by Wei Tingcheng and showed an undisguised look of appreciation on her face that Xie Ning suddenly felt a shock in her head, and her irrepressible worry surged up in an instant, weighing heavily on her heart.

"Miss Wei's painting style is very smart." Mrs. Xiao only praised her, but although she didn't say much, the slightly curled curvature of the corners of her mouth already showed her attitude at this time.

And the drawing paper in her hand was also held in the hands of the maidservants around her and passed it to everyone present one by one.

Because of the remote sitting, when the two maidservants walked to Xie Ning's table, it was already past the time of a pillar of incense. Although Fang had already faintly seen a little outline in front of him, Xie Ning still had a sense of surprise when he saw this painting with his own eyes.

I saw that the water waves were light, the green grass was green, the upper part was blank, and the sky was not visible, but the shape of clouds was reflected in the river. On the shore lay a bloated puppy, white and chubby, but he stared at his reflection in the river, as if he was hesitating to go down and play with the shadow.

Xie Ning didn't know what pen power was, and he couldn't tell the shade of color, but he just looked at the puppy on the paper in front of him, and his heart was very happy.

This painting is very consistent with the artistic conception of the piano music played by Gu Qingyun, but it is a pity that Gu Qingyun's piano tone was suddenly interrupted, otherwise these two people can really be called spiritual.

Xie Ning took the drawing paper, and after looking at it carefully, he handed it to Gu Qingyun beside him, and because he didn't want to expose the other party's injury, he thoughtfully held the paper in his hand.

"With lively colors and bold brushstrokes, Sister Wei's painting is indeed full of aura." Gu Qingyun also looked at it for a while, and after praising a few words, she nodded euphemistically to signal that Xie Ning had finished reading it.

At this time, the whole building had finished reading the paper painting of Wei Tingcheng, Xie Ning raised his head, and his eyes followed the two maidservants, but he saw that the painting turned back to Mrs. Xiao's hand.

And the beautiful woman sitting at the top of the table also smiled and said at this time: "This painting is a masterpiece in terms of artistic conception and composition. If no one comes forward to wait for all of you, I'm afraid that the lottery I prepared today will be taken by Miss Wei. ā€

As soon as she said this, no one in the building answered. Compared with the fight between you and me before the two of them stepped forward, the expressions of the women present at this time can be described as very calm. There was silence. Xie Ning thought about it for a while, and then guessed the reason why everyone hesitated.

Wei Tingcheng and Gu Qingyun painted and played, which can be described as a perfect match, not to mention the convenience of Gao Yiyan's mediocre before, but with the outstanding talents of these two people, although they lost a little, they were far better than ordinary people.

If you want to be more brilliant than these two people, I'm afraid that if you come forward, you will definitely be a famous talented woman.

Shainin's mind turned, and when he looked up again. Then he saw Wei Tingcheng, whose cheeks were slightly red, and bowed. Retreated from the open space in front of the table.

At this time, the building was still silent, quiet but also a little depressing. After Mrs. Xiao looked around for a week, she couldn't help but raise her hand and rub the corners of her forehead, and said helplessly: "I'm old." It's just not as good as you little girls. I've been talking about it for so long. I forgot to take out the lottery I prepared. ā€

Shainin raised his head when he heard the voice. But when she glanced at her, the maidservant standing beside her would turn around willingly, and it would not be long. He came back with a tray and showed what he had in his hand to everyone.

Hearing the exclamations around him, Xie Ning couldn't help but become curious, looking for the gap between the figures in front of him, and raised his eyes to take a closer look.

But behold, on the silver platter, there were two things side by side. One is the yellowed ancient books on the inner pages, and the other is a handful of jade-colored and white Ruyi.

"I'm just afraid that I can't figure out your little girl's mind, it was a good intention, but it caused resentment, so I prepared two kinds of color for you to choose. The Buddhist scriptures written by the monks of Jingshan, as well as the wishes given by my mother-in-law when I got married, I don't know if you have a favorite? ā€

Xie Ning didn't know how precious that Buddhist scripture was, but the Ruyi that could be compared to it had a special origin, and it was obviously something that Shangshu Mansion prepared for Xiao Yan's future wife.

It's good for Mrs. Xiao to give a choice in front of people like this, but if Wei Chengcheng really wins the lottery in the end, what will she choose?

Choosing Buddhist scriptures is to clearly tell the other party that he has no intention of doing this family business, and Wei Chengcheng will naturally not do this. But if Ruyi is chosen, won't Wei Tingcheng's thoughts be even more obvious to others? At that time, even if others want to stop it, they are afraid that they will be powerless.

In the midst of the lightning and fire, Xie Ning's head suddenly turned around, but she still had no clue about the solution to the dilemma in front of her, so she had to support the servant girl standing beside her, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, to inquire first, and then make plans.

"Allure," Xie Ning leaned over cautiously and asked softly, "Do you like the Buddhist scriptures written by this master?" ā€

She didn't ask very directly, but Wei Tingcheng listened, but he still couldn't help blushing, shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "I don't like it." ā€

Although he had expected her to answer like this, Xie Ning was still anxious at this time. Mo said that she has now made a marriage with Wei Qingyang, putting aside this relationship, just based on the friendship between Xie Ning and Wei Tingcheng, she doesn't want Wei Tingcheng to have anything to do with Xiao Yan.

It's just that now that she has made up her mind, and the Duke of Wei has never objected, Xie Ning is anxious and useless here, so she can only secretly pray that someone will come forward and overshadow Wei Tingcheng.

Perhaps it was Xie Ning's prayer that played a role, and it didn't take much effort to stand up a light blue figure during the banquet, and said crisply: "The grandmother of the family worships the Buddha all the year round, and the little girl intends to come forward to give it a try, maybe she can get this color, but it is unknown." ā€

Xie Ning took a closer look, only to find that this woman was Tang Xin, whom she had met on the day of the birthday banquet in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Realizing that there was hope in what he had just thought, Xie Ning was overjoyed, and turned his head to see Mrs. Xiao's reaction at this time, but he didn't notice the sudden darkening of Gu Qingyun's eyes beside him.

Before Mrs. Xiao could reply, there was some movement during the banquet. And the next moment he stood up, but it was also a very familiar face of Xie Ning.

"Madam, the little girl also wants to come forward and give it a try, and I ask Madame for permission."

Is Gao Yiyao also interested in Xiao Yan? It's just that if you want to win the lottery, there should always be an order.

Xie Ning was thinking about it in his heart, and Gao Yiyao's voice came to his ears again-"Miss Tang, I don't know if you are willing to come forward with me?" ā€

"Okay," Tang Xin didn't seem to expect her to mention yƬ like this, and the expression on her face was stunned for a moment, but after a while, the corners of her mouth also showed the corners of her mouth and smiled lightly: "Little girl is good at writing, let's make a picture." ā€

"I wonder what Miss Gao is good at?" But it was Mrs. Xiao who asked out loud.

Gao Yiyao is also a well-known talented woman in Beijing, Xie Ning has heard the evaluation of others, knowing that she likes calligraphy the most, and he can't help but look at her at the moment and want to know how she answers.

"Since Sister Tang wants to show her calligraphy, then I will make a painting, calligraphy and painting, and present it to Mrs. together, how about it?"

With such a stunning painting as Wei Tingcheng in front, Xie Ning really didn't expect that the other party would also choose the art of painting. After being slightly surprised, he watched the two talk intently for a few words, and then they separated from each other and buried their heads in the case.

The waiting process was extremely long, and at this time, many people in the building had already started chopsticks, even Mrs. Xiao was among them. Food is in front, Xie Ning will naturally not let go of this great opportunity, not to mention that the seat she is sitting on is hidden, and she is feasting at this time regardless of her image, but she is afraid that she will not be seen and attract criticism.

Xie Ning ate happily, but neither of the two around her did not lift a spoon. Wei Qingcheng had no intention of eating because he was worried about Caitou, but Gu Qingyun was unable to eat because of a hand injury.

In this regard, although Xie Ning was willing to help, he couldn't help but worry that he would be self-defeating and attract the attention of the maid behind him, so he had to dispel this idea depressedly.

As if sensing Xie Ning's entanglement, Gu Qingyun suddenly turned her head and said with a smile: "I have always eaten little, but now I am not hungry." ā€

"Hmm," Xie Ning nodded, but he had no doubt about the truth of Gu Qingyun's words. Just because most of the nobles in Beijing are like this, even at this time, they just take advantage of the gap at this time to pad their stomachs a little and stop at a shallow taste.

It stands to reason that when Gao Yiyao and Tang Xin were in front, it was rude for everyone to eat. But today's banquet specifications are not very formal, and Mrs. Xiao has not arranged for everyone to eat.

Xie Ning only thought that Mrs. Xiao was negligent for a while, but he didn't expect the other party to arrange it like this. It was done on purpose.

Xie Ning looked at Gao Yiyao and Tang Xin who were still painting and calligraphy with anticipation, but in his heart, he hoped that after the two of them combined their swords, they would be able to defeat the painting of Fang Cai Wei Chengcheng.

"Ahh

A low cry came from the front, and Xie Ning, who had been paying attention, immediately noticed that something was wrong, and looked closely, but saw that the inkstone placed on the carved wooden case was accidentally knocked over by Gao Yiyao, and the jet-black ink stained her sleeves and stained the tiled rice paper.

It happened suddenly, and many people have not yet reacted. And Tang Xin, who was standing not far from Gao Yiyan's side, was even more caught off guard, looking at the handwriting marks on the paper that had been blurred by the splash of ink, and could only hold the brush in his hand in a daze.

On the other hand, Gao Yiyao is calmer than her. Although he accidentally destroyed the calligraphy and painting on the case, he had a calm look on his face, and in the direction of Mrs. Xiao, Ying Ying said: "The little girl was careless for a while, please forgive Mrs. (To be continued.) )
