Chapter 209: Affection
Feng Bailin thought that after killing the personal guards, he could prevent his humiliation from being leaked out, but it turned out that it was not, the person was dead, but the news also spread in the capital, and within a few days, almost everyone knew that he was attacked by an unidentified man in black on the street, and was put into a sack and crawled in embarrassment.
He has lived so long and has never lost such a face!
Just when Feng Bailin was annoyed and closed the door, the other person was very happy.
Lu Li is smiling every day, and occasionally comes to the restaurant to inspect, and he is also happy.
Feng Bailin's troubles spread all over the capital, did Lu Li know about it?
One afternoon, when Lu Li came to visit him in the restaurant, An Xiabai took the opportunity to ask the doubts in his heart.
"Madame, do you think so?" Lu Li didn't answer positively, but only asked An Xiabai rhetorically.
The person who was questioned didn't know what to say for a while: "If you want me to say something, I feel that there is, but I'm not sure about it, after all, he does have a special identity." ”
"It's me." Compared with her hesitation, Lu Li seemed very frank, "Do you remember the things he was beaten before, I sent people to do those things, the purpose is very simple, but I can't get used to seeing him always bullying people to pester his wife, if you want to blame this matter, you can only blame him for his own indiscretion." ”
Feng Bailin is certainly wrong, but he is a relative of the emperor after all, is it really worth it for Lu Li to take such a big risk for himself?
As if seeing An Xiabai's doubts, Lu Li turned his head and smiled at him: "Madam, I know you're worried about me, I didn't want to make things like this at the beginning, I just wanted to beat him up and teach him a lesson, but he was shameless himself, and he had to buy a murder to kill me." ”
"Buying a murderer?" An Xiabai suddenly remembered an incident that happened not long ago: "Husband, the person who came to the restaurant last time to ambush and wanted to attack you was the person who sealed Bailin?" ’
"Yes, during the interrogation in the cell, they all confessed, and they attacked me because of his huge bounty." Lu Li smiled coldly, "He dares to buy the murderer, it's not too much for me to beat him out of anger." ”
An Xiabai not only didn't think it was too much, but even felt that he didn't do it hard enough.
Just as the couple was discussing things, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Jia Jia stood outside the door, holding a picture scroll in her hand.
"Madam, the last time you asked me to draw the promotional image of the restaurant, I-"
Jia Jia's words stopped abruptly, just because An Xiabai and Lu Li's eyes turned to her, and she suddenly felt very embarrassed.
The husband and wife were whispering in the box, and she suddenly broke in, which seemed to be a little abrupt.
"I'm sorry ma'am," Jia Jia quickly apologized and tried to turn away, "I'll come back later." ”
The shyness on her face was undisguised, An Xiabai couldn't help but smile, and after glancing at Lu Li, she gently asked Jia Jia to come in: "I was just chatting with my husband just now, Miss Jia doesn't need to be outside, come in, I want to see your newly drawn promotional map." ”
Last time, after An Xiabai found out that Jia Jia was extraordinary in painting, she planned to use her advantages to help the restaurant publicize.
A bunch of people sat around the table and thought for a long time, and finally unanimously came up with a notice and asked Jia Jia to draw a poster to promote the reputation of the restaurant.
Jia Jia has no opinion on this, painting is her hobby, and if it can be useful, she is happy.
So soon after deciding to do it, she started to paint, and after thinking about it for a long time, she finally drew a promotional picture according to An Xiabai's idea.
"With the help of your paintings, the restaurant's popularity in the capital will definitely be able to reach a higher level!"
An Xiabai's praise made Jia Jia very embarrassed: "It's good to be useful." ”
"I didn't come up with the poster alone, I have to ask a professional to come and evaluate it!" An Xia Bai rushed downstairs and called Lu Liuer and the others into the box, and then spread out Jia Jia's picture scroll.
No one was surprised, even amazed, and the person who reacted the most strongly was Shen Ya, seeing the painting in Jia Jia's hand, he was amazed, and his eyes were full of amazement: "Miss Jia's Danqing works are better than those who claim to be masters of Chinese culture outside, if they can be put outside, I don't know how many people will be amazing." ”
The praise that came in one after another made Jia Jia feel uncomfortable: "It's just ugly." ”
"You don't have to be humble!" Ruqing, the most bold among a bunch of people, smiled, and gently rubbed her fingertips on the picture scroll, "Your paintings, even people like me who don't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting seem to be good, and they must be top-grade in the eyes of professionals. ”
Jia Jia's reaction to this was to smile embarrassedly.
Just as they were joking and talking to each other, An Xiabai noticed in a blink of an eye that someone was reacting very wrong.
Hua Qiqi is a personal soldier next to Lu Li, usually temperament is similar to Zhang Xiaodong, but also a rough person, I don't know anything about the cultural people of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, but now I don't know what's going on, not only is he looking at the painting in the box, but even his eyes are glued to it, as if he is glued to concentrate on it.
The serious emotion on his face gave the impression that he was not looking at a painting at all, but at a priceless treasure.
An Xiabai silently observed beside him for a while, and suddenly smiled as if he remembered something.
Her abnormality quickly caught the attention of everyone around her.
"What's wrong?" Lu Li was the first to ask.
"It's okay, it's just a funny thing," An Xiabai waved his hand again and again, trying to change the subject, and asked, "Where did you say just now?" ”
Lu Liu'er said shyly: "Speaking of the fact that I want to worship Miss Jia as a teacher." ”
She has always loved pen and ink Danqing, she has a talent in this area since she was a child, she was exiled and had no chance to study, but now that she has, she wants to try: "Miss Jia, are you willing to accept me?" ”
Everyone's eyes slowly turned to Jia Jia with Lu Liu'er's anxious question.
"I don't know much, and I'm even a novice in this area." Jia Jia paused, and added, "But since you want to worship me as a teacher, I will accept it, and I will definitely know everything about you in the future." ”
Lu Liu'er's eyes lit up slightly, and she brought the apprentice tea and knelt on the ground.
Lu Li, who watched the whole process on the side, expressed his gratification: "Since I like it, I must do my best to study in the future." ”
When the apprenticeship was over, An Xiabai couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Jia not only gained an apprentice today, but also gained someone's appreciation, which is really enviable." ”
An Xiabai's words, the first half of the sentence is easy to understand, but the second half of the sentence is incomprehensible.
Whose appreciation?
Puzzled eyes fell on her one after another, she smiled without panic, her eyes turned, and her gaze fell on Hua Qiqi.
"Since just now, I have seen Zhu Qi staring at Miss Jia's painting, I guess I really like it."
Hua Qiqi saw everyone looking at him, his cheeks were slightly red, and his expression was a little unnatural: "I really like Miss Jia's paintings, although I am a layman who can't understand elegance, but Miss Jia's paintings are really good-looking." ”
Unpretentious compliments move people the most.
Seeing his sincere and praising face, Jia Jia was deeply moved: "Since you like it, how about I draw a picture for you?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Hua Qiqi was frightened and waved his hand again and again: "This seems to be a little too precious." ”
I heard that the famous people's Danqing pen and ink can be sold for a lot of money in the market, Jia Jia's words are so good-looking, the price must be very expensive, and I have no money to buy it, isn't it taking advantage of other people's paintings for nothing?
Hua Qiqi has a feeling for Jia Jia, so he subconsciously wants to protect Jia Jia and doesn't want her to suffer.
As a result, the other party didn't want to appreciate his kindness, so he had to draw a picture to send him.
"I'm not a celebrity, painting is just boring and boring, you don't have to worry about it." Jia Jia said with a smile.
Since the other party has said it so bluntly, if he refuses again, it seems that he will be a little unreasonable, and he is even more suspected of being pretentious, Hua Qiqi thought about it carefully, and secretly gritted his teeth and chose to nod.
In the end, Jia Jia drew a picture of landscape ink and gave it to him.
In her eyes, the scroll is not worth a few dollars, and after it is handed over to Hua Qiqi, the other party regards it as a treasure, not only when he takes it, but also when he holds the painting, he is very careful.
Jia Jia was very moved by this.
Just when everyone in the restaurant was happy for Jia Jia's poster, Mo Simin, who was in the Mo family, was not idle, she hadn't had time to try the gadgets that the prince bought back to her as a gift for her last time, and now she is idle at home, so it's better to try it.
I thought those gadgets were boring, but after trying them, Mo Simin realized that she was wrong.
There are a few of them that are quite interesting.
Recalling the demeanor and action of the prince when he came over with a gift to make amends, Mo Simin pursed his lips and smiled, and finally chose to forgive.
She poked the gadget lightly and said softly, "Wait until the next time we meet, and I'll forgive you." ”
While she was having fun fiddling with small objects, a maid suddenly offered tea.
It happened that Mo Simin himself was also thirsty, so he drank it directly without defense.
After the cup of tea, she realized that something was wrong, why her head was a little dizzy.
She pressed her temples lightly, trying to open her eyes: "I'm a little uncomfortable......"
The maid serving tea was standing next to her, and she was shocked when she saw this, as if she was frightened: "Miss, you wait in the pavilion for a while, and the slave maid will go and invite the doctor immediately!" ”
The maid turned around and left.
The hurried steps raised a gust of wind, causing Mo Simin, who was already dizzy, to become more and more uncomfortable, and his shaking body was about to fall to the ground.
At the last moment, a pair of strong arms suddenly stretched out behind her to support her: "That's her, right?" ”
"That's right, take her!"
Mo Simin, who was in a blur, finally realized that her current abnormality was drugged and calculated, and she pulled out the soft whip on her waist and tried to struggle, but unfortunately it was too late, the other party was outnumbered and prepared, so she easily took her soft whip and threw it on the ground, and then picked up the unconscious person and took it away.
