Jiang Lian picked up the glass ball again, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Thoughtful, these four words, it's over." It turned out that the days were dull, and he was looking for some fun with Brother Wu, and he also had the heart to match the girl in the building with him to form a good relationship, so that's it. ”

Before Xiao Yizheng could say anything, the bookworm Wu patted the table and said, "Who are you treating me for?" I think you're just scheming! ”

Jiang Lian sighed lightly and got up, bowed deeply to the bookworm Wu, and said sincerely: "Jiang solemnly pleads to Brother Wu here, but he will be punished. ”

"Is that true?" The bookworm Wu raised his head slightly and asked with a little doubt, but his face was completely angry.

Looking at his appearance, Xiao Yizheng sighed slightly in his heart, knowing that these two people would soon laugh at each other.

"Seriously." Jiang Lian's slightly curved eyes were full of kindness.

Bookworm Wu Yi raised his head: "I want to appreciate the authentic works of the painting Shengyan Rongkai." ”

Jiang Lian seemed to have guessed his thoughts, his face did not change, and he nodded without hesitation: "Okay." ”

On the contrary, the bookworm Wu didn't seem to expect him to be so happy and slightly stunned, and then laughed: "Not bad, this bet, I didn't lose, that slap is worth it." ”

Xiao Yizheng ignored his heartless laughter, stared at Jiang Lian and said, "Can you ask, where did Brother Jiang's collection of paintings come from?" If we are lucky, can we share the rewards? ”

Jiang Lian looked back at Xiao Yizheng with a smile, and said unhurriedly: "Naturally, you can." Speaking of which, the painting is also considered an ancestral heirloom. I just don't know how many days the sixth master and his family will stay here? If you don't dislike it, you can stay in Jiang's mansion for a while. ”

Hearing this, Qingxi frowned slightly, raised his eyes and glanced at him, his gaze inquiring.

Xiao Yizheng replied with a smile: "Don't hide it from Brother Jiang, I'm in a hurry, but this masterpiece of painting saints really can't be missed." In this way, I will be disturbed. ”

"Okay, refreshed." Jiang Lian nodded lightly, turned his eyes to look at Qingxi, and Wen Yan asked, "Madame, do you have any opinions?" ”

Qingxi's eyes were bright, and she replied softly: "My husband already has an opinion." ”

"That's very good." Bookworm Wu clapped his hands and said, "Brother Jiang's mansion is not far from here, I think I'll leave now." He made no secret of his impatience.

However, no one objected to this.

After the bookworm Wu made such a proposal, he realized it and said, "However, is Brother Jiang preparing to watch the sunrise on the East Mountain tomorrow?" Thinking of this, he asked Xiao Yizheng again: "Does the sixth master also want to take his family to Dongshan?" ”

Xiao Yizheng and Jiang Lian shook their heads at the same time.

One said, "There is no such plan." ”

One said: "The mood has come, and the sunrise has been watched." ”

Bookworm Wu sighed: "It turns out that I'm not the only one who is impatient. ”

When he said this, everyone laughed heartily.

Everyone said goodbye to the abbot and got into three carriages and went to Jiangfu.

Xiao Yizheng took Qingxi and Xiao Yiran into the same carriage.

On the way, Qingxi lowered his voice and asked, "Why did you agree to go to Jiangfu?" Not just for that painting. ”

Xiao Yizheng smiled slightly: "Those who know me, Ah Heng also." ”

Qingxi didn't have a leisurely mood, and looked at him seriously.

Xiao Yizheng's complexion was very relaxed, and he said slowly: "Have you noticed that he deliberately revealed his identity?" ”

Before Qingxi could answer, Xiao Yiran blinked his eyes, dragged his cheeks and asked, "How did the sixth brother see it?" ”

Xiao Yizheng pointed to the vacant position beside him, Xiao Yiran sat down with understanding and approached him.

Only then did he speak: "We only met Mr. Na Jiang today, and Brother Wu has known him for a long time, but Brother Wu said that he never knew that Jiang Lian had a kung fu foundation. Do you think that with his such careful style, if he had not been willing, he would have taken my porcelain pot so easily? ”

Xiao Yiran thought about the situation at that time and nodded.

"Xiao Qi, remember, when looking at people and things, you must not only look at the overall situation, but also focus on those small details."

"Well, I made a note of it."

Xiao Yizheng bowed his head with satisfaction and asked, "Then tell me, what else is there on Mr. Jiang that has caught your attention?" ”

"Hmm...

Xiao Yiran curled his mouth and muttered: "He looks too weak, like a woman." ”

Xiao Yizheng and Qingxi looked at each other and smiled, and encouraged: "What else?" ”

"And ...... And those two glass balls. Xiao Yiran's eyes suddenly lit up a little: "The sixth brother said that the object was very valuable, so I took two more looks." Sixth brother, Uncle Xianghuang is a good glass thing. When I was in the palace, I didn't go out of my mother's palace, so whenever I went out, whether it was a palace banquet or a visit to my father's place, I would pay extra attention to everything. I remember very clearly that the congratulatory gift presented by Emperor Xiang at the birthday banquet of my father the year before last was the glass ball. Because it was very beautiful, I went to my father to take a second look, but it was very similar to what Mr. Jiang had in his hand today. ”t.

After listening to his words, Xiao Yizheng's eyebrows frowned slightly.

He paid attention to the glass ball, purely because it was not an ordinary thing, and the people did have it, and he did think that the prince of Xiang was good for this thing, but that was all. But the king of Xiang had offered this thing to his father, and he didn't know about it. When his father was born the year before last, he was traveling in Shu. Xiao Qi's words made him ponder.

Of course, it can't be judged that this Jiang Lian has dealings with the powerful people in Beijing, after all, this is not any conclusive evidence. What's more, there are many coincidences in the world. However, he didn't need any reason, he was sure that Jiang Lian was by no means an ordinary businessman.

When he was silent, Qingxi opened his mouth and asked, "Xiao Qi, are you sure?" ”

Xiao Yiran nodded heavily with great certainty.

"When Xiao Qi said this, I remembered something. The prince of the Hunan palace accepted a concubine when I returned to Beijing to participate in the blessing meeting last year, and it is said that the princess was dissatisfied, and the palace was not peaceful for those days. And the side concubine of Xinna is a person from Shandong, and it is said that the prince went out of Beijing to meet and brought back here. ”

Qingxi looked at Xiao Yizheng and laughed: "It turns out that you also know a lot about the inner courtyard of these deep mansions?" The prince of Xiang Wang just went out to run errands and brought back the side concubine, what about you? ”

Xiao Yizheng cleared his throat and immediately explained: "Because the prince did not go to Baoding Mountain to participate in the blessing meeting that day, Uncle Yu told me a lot. ”

Yes, let Prince Yu carry a pot with a lot of mouths first.

He gave Qingxi a look as he spoke, meaning that the seventh brother was still there, and it was not good to talk about these things.

Qingxi smiled slightly and then slowly became solemn: "There is also the matter of Yan Rongkai's true works, I also have doubts." I grew up in Sujiang, you should know that there are many literati and artists in the Jiangnan area, and there are many people who collect famous masterpieces. My grandfather and father are also good hands, and they are also masters of painting and calligraphy. But I've never heard of a painting that has been published, and it's always been passed down from generation to generation. ”

Xiao Yizheng nodded: "Not bad." So when he threw out this bait, I was even more curious about what his purpose was. ”

Xiao Yiran asked puzzledly: "So he said that he had the real painting of the saint is actually fake?" ”

Xiao Yizheng was noncommittal. "It's hard to say, whether it's true or not, you have to see and judge for yourself. The so-called, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger. He looked at Xiao Yiran, then at Qingxi and said, "Are you afraid?" ”

Qingxi raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Do you think I will be afraid?" ”

Xiao Yiran straightened his small chest, and said very arrogantly: "I'm not afraid." ”

Xiao Yizheng took Qingxi into his arms, took Xiao Yiran's little hand, and said loudly: "Don't worry." In this whole world, as long as I am here, no one will hurt you; If anyone hurts you, I will pay you back a hundredfold. He subconsciously lowered his head and kissed Qingxi on the top of his head, and secretly said that he would return the hardships she had suffered.

"I won't let people hurt my sixth brother and six sisters-in-law." Xiao Yiran clenched his small fists and followed.

Xiao Yizheng and Qingxi both smiled happily.

"Xiao Qi, few people dare to touch your sixth brother, I still have this confidence in your sixth brother." Xiao Yizheng touched his swollen red cheeks.

It didn't take long for the carriage to stop.

Jiangfu is indeed not far from Changlong Temple.

Rao is so, it is dark at this moment.

After everyone got out of the carriage, they were a little surprised.

Jiang Lian was sitting on such a large property, and everyone thought that his mansion should be as magnificent as the style of the 10,000 yuan building in the city. However, the three-entry courtyard in front of him is not as vast as imagined, and there is no carved railing

The exquisite sense of wealth and wealth of the painting building is an inconspicuous private house.

The people who served in the house were also wrong, and they were busy lighting the lamps.

After Jiang Lian led everyone into the door, he arranged their respective accommodations tonight.

It was not the first time for the bookworm Wu to visit, and he took the initiative to make some introductions: "This should be the house he bought two years ago. I really didn't know that he had that 10,000 yuan building, I looked at his idle appearance on weekdays, and thought that his ancestors were rich. ”

While speaking, Jiang Lian had already neatly arranged his accommodation, "The cold house is not big, and it is just me and three domestic servants on weekdays." However, when you come to your door, you must take good care of it. ”

"Brother Jiang is polite, it's us who bother, just get together for one night." Xiao Yizheng said.

The bookworm Wu hurriedly asked, "So, when will you enjoy the paintings?" ”

Jiang Lian said with a smile: "Brother Wu, don't worry, it's late today, and everyone is also very tired. Early tomorrow morning, the sun is bright and refreshing, so as to live up to the famous paintings. ”

"Makes sense, makes sense." Bookworm Wu was immediately convinced.

Xiao Yizheng privately instructed Zhao Xin and Xiao Shengzi to take turns guarding at night, and specially advised: "Don't sleep to death tonight, pay more attention." ”

Qingxi walked around the mansion accompanied by Moon Shadow, looked at it, and when he turned around to return to the house, Jiang Lian walked over, followed by a maid, holding a tray, and on the tray was a porcelain bowl and a porcelain plate.

The corners of Jiang Lian's mouth were raised, his smile was gentle, and the red mole between his eyebrows was a little charming in the moonlight.

He got straight to the point and said, "If you don't guess wrong, Madame should be taking medicine." ”

Qingxi was slightly shocked in his heart. How did he find out?
