This Mo Lan was painted more than ten years ago, and the silk surface has even turned slightly yellow.

Lansheng deep valley, elegant and fragrant, is one of the four gentlemen, often dotted among the mountains and rocks in the painting, but its body is small, and it is still rare to form a single picture today.

Perhaps because of this, the painting is not very large, not too wide, and only slightly longer than two feet long when framed.

Xiao Yu appreciated it again before putting it away. When she was halfway there, she casually swept the inscription mark above and stopped moving.

At the end of the inscription is a tick of Domolan.

Xiao Yu rolled up her cuffs, revealing the jade pendant left to her by her father on her wrist, the orchid engraved on it was handsome and beautiful, and its shape was completely inconsistent with the one in the inscription in the painting.

Is this a coincidence?

Xiao Yu couldn't help but think of Hua Yue's words. If anyone asks, they say it's a family heirloom...... This painting has only been painted for fifteen or sixteen years, but my father does not have the name of Stony Creek, and his handwriting is different.

So what does this mark mean?

Xiao Yu couldn't understand it, so he put away the scroll in a precious place, planning to ask Hua Yue about the origin of this painting when he went to Changle Villa next time.

A few days later, when Ling Yidao came to see the growth of corn in Niujiao Village, Ling Yan also came over.

Since the incident of Changle Villa last time, Xiao Yu felt that Ling Yan seemed to be closer to her than before, which made her a little flattered.

Ling Yan made a silent gesture to a few maids and entered the house lightly.

Xiao Yu was engrossed in the scroll of Melan in front of the window. Although her danqing skills have recently become proficient, it is still evident that her pen power is not strong compared to the original. After sketching the last orchid, she spread the two pictures on the table and compared them carefully.

Ling Yan leaned over and asked, "Ah Yu, what are you painting?" ”

Xiao Yu was coldly frightened by it, and it took a moment to come to his senses, and he couldn't help but say helplessly: "A painting of Molan." Miss Ling came with the general again today? ”

Then he instructed Xia Solstice to brew the newly made Jinrui tea.

Ling Yan approached the table, and Ying Ying smiled: "Ah Yu is so Yaxing, I'll appreciate it." ”

Xiao Yu moved aside slightly, making Ling Yan see more clearly, and said with some embarrassment: "It's not good." It's hard to get half a point from the original. ”

Ling Yanfang glanced at it and was attracted by the scroll, immediately picked it up and looked at it carefully, and then was extremely surprised, and blurted out at the moment, "Where did you get this Melantu?" ”

Like a treasure.

Xiao Yu was puzzled. How famous is this Stony Creek layman? Then he remembered Hua Yue's words, and said with a smile: "My parents left it, Miss Ling has seen this trace?" ”

Ling Yan nodded again and again: "Naturally, I have seen it." My fifth uncle, Ya Shixi Jushi, and the orchid on the inscription, are exactly the same as the emblem of the Lanling Xiao family. ”

Xiao Yu was stunned.

When I was a child, I heard my father say it. He was born in a side branch of a family, is it the famous Lanling Xiao family? However, he seems to have mentioned that this vein has been very distant from the branch and has long been defeated.

"Do you know where the painter is now?" Ling Yan asked.

"I also came across this picture by chance, and I don't know." Xiao Yu shook his head, and then asked, "Isn't your fifth uncle at home?" ”

Ling Yan was very disappointed and said, "He left home when he was fifteen years old and never went back. ”

Xiao Yu's heart jumped a few times, and he couldn't help but continue to ask, "Then what is his name?" What is the birthday? ”

Ling Yan was a little strange, but still replied, "Single name Yanyun." And this year Geng should have twenty-four. ”

Xiao Yu's heart jumped again, she lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, she still rolled up her cuffs and exposed her wrists: "Look at this jade ......"

Before she finished speaking, Ling Yan had already taken her hand and said in surprise, "How did this jade come from?" There is also the emblem of the Lanling Xiao clan on it! ”

Xiao Yu was in a somewhat complicated mood: "My father left it to me." ”

Several maids next to him looked at each other, all with shocked expressions on their faces. Ling Yan even grabbed Xiao Yu's hand and shook it excitedly: "Actually, you have the same surname as the fifth uncle, right?" ”

Xiao Yu nodded.

Ling Yan was so happy that she didn't know what to do, she pulled Xiao Yu and ran out, and said, "I only found out today that your original surname is Xiao, I haven't heard you talk about it before!" ”

The two maids hurriedly followed. "Girl, slow down! ”

Before the words fell, Xiao Yu almost tripped on the steps, and she asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Ling Yan smiled: "Of course, I told my brother to go." Maybe I'm cousins! There are some things I don't know very well, so I'll go to him and ask him about it first. ”

Ling Yi was looking at the tasseled corn seedlings in the field, and Ling Yan and Xiao Yu suddenly came to him, because they rushed over, their pretty faces were dizzy, and they were as delicate as peach blossoms.

The eyes are also extremely bright.

A strange feeling passed through Ling Yi's heart. smiled and asked, "So anxious to come, but what's the matter?" ”

Xiao Yucheng and Hao Jun smiled and scolded a few sergeants who were curious onlookers on the side: "Go, don't stay here, do your own thing!" ”

Then the two approached and listened.

Ling Yan couldn't wait to take Xiao Yu's hand, rolled up her sleeves and revealed half of her jade wrist: "Brother, what do you think this is?" ”

Xiao Yucheng couldn't help coughing lightly.

Ling Yi immediately said, "Yan'er, don't be so rude. ”

Realizing that this move was inappropriate, Ling Yan hurriedly let go of Xiao Yu's hand and said embarrassedly: "Ah Yu, don't be surprised, I'm overjoyed for a while." ”

"Nothing." Xiao Yu smiled, turned around and untied the jade plaque and put it in Ling Yan's hand.

"I didn't think of that." Ling Yan said in annoyance, and then handed the jade to Ling Yi like a treasure, "Brother, look at the emblem on this. ”

Xiao Yucheng thought of the orchid on the jade plaque, and was in a trance.

Ling Yi picked up the jade plate and took a closer look, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Isn't this the emblem of the Lanling Xiao family?" Second Miss Xiao, the jade is yours? ”

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "I think, my father may be a side branch of the Xiao family......"

The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the distant mountains are clear. The emerald green corn seedlings stand in small patches and stand out in the harvested fields.

Several people standing next to him all looked at Xiao Yu.

Ling Yi's maternal ancestor family is a branch of the Xiao family in Lanling, this is not a secret, Xiao Yucheng and Hao Jun also know, hearing this, thinking of Xiao Yu's surname, they all reacted quickly at the moment, but they didn't expect it to be the same Xiao family.

Hao Jun immediately blurted out: "So, the general and Ah Yu are actually relatives?" ”

Xiao Yu explained: "Since it is a side branch, the relationship is relatively distant, and it is just a relative, so it should not be a serious relative." ”

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Ling Yan was quite unimpressed: "I will see the outside world when I say this, and I am afraid that I will not be close if I move around more?" What's more, it is still unclear about the intimacy of this relationship. ”

Ling Yi smiled and nodded: "I am still using the clan emblem of the Lanling Xiao clan, I think the relationship will not be too distant, just go back and ask carefully." ”

Xiao Yu thought that maybe he could find his father's relatives, but he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad. In her heart, she actually hopes to be able to be reunited with her loved ones.

But if those relatives ask about their parents, how should they answer? (To be continued.) )

PS: Small Theater:

Xiao Yu (snickering): "It turns out that this piece of jade has such a background, I used to be afraid that I wouldn't be able to hold the thighs of the General's Mansion firmly, but now I don't have to worry about it anymore!" ”

Ling Yan: "Why is Sister Ayu's expression a little strange?" Don't be silly with joy, right? ”

Xiao Yu, Hua Yue, Ling Yi...... and others jointly declared: The role plays in the small theater are made by the comedy author's skirt cameo, which has nothing to do with our ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention to the audience.
