Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and saw Ling Shuang standing beside him, his eyes wide open, full of surprise, and he couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Nine Views of Streams and Mountains, what is it?" ”

Ling Shuang obviously realized that she was out of shape, her voice softened, and she hurriedly said, "Master, slave maid...... The slave and maid were speechless, and the slave and maid looked at the painting...... This portrait is "Nine Views of Streams and Mountains", so ......! ”

"It's okay!" Chu Huan shook his head and leaned over the scroll, at this time the house was already lit with lights, under the lights, this scroll looked a little ancient, Chu Huan asked in a low voice, "Have you seen this painting?" ”

Ling Shuang said: "I've seen fakes before, this is Wu Sheng's "Nine Views of Streams and Mountains", if it's true, it's priceless!" ”

"Wu Sheng?" Chu Huan only felt that this name was very unfamiliar, and he couldn't figure out who it was for a while.

"Wu Sheng was a great painter during the Wu Dynasty and was known as the Saint of Painting." Ling Shuang explained: "He only makes one painting a year, but each painting is worth a thousand gold. There are only a few paintings that have been handed down, and it is hard to find money.

”

Chu Huan looked at this picture before, it was unremarkable, but at this time he heard that it was Wu Sheng's painting, and that person was so powerful, so this painting must be extraordinary, and asked: "Ling Shuang, why is this painting called like this?" ”

Ling Shuang glanced at Chu Huan and saw that Chu Huan was sincerely asking for advice, so he explained softly: "It is said that Wu Sheng once visited the mountains and rivers and liked the nine beautiful scenery very much, but these nine scenery were divided into nine places. Ling Shuang obviously studied the painting very much, stretched out his finger and pointed to the corner, "This is one of the scenes, this picture has a strange place, that is, at first glance, it is unremarkable, but if you cover up the other eight places, one scene at a time, it will be very amazing." ”

Chu Huan was very interested, put it on the table, summoned Ling Shuang to cover the other eight places, the two got together unconsciously, just because they admired the paintings, but they didn't notice that they were very close, with the help of Ling Shuang, the nine scenes were seen one by one, although Chu Huan didn't understand the paintings, but looking at each scene, it was really amazing, and couldn't help patting Ling Shuangxiang on the shoulder and said: "Ling Shuang, you are really amazing, if it weren't for you, I would have thought this was an ordinary painting, hahaha, interlaced like a mountain, with you next to me, I understand how to look at the painting." ”

He said a few words, there was a faint fragrance on the tip of his nose, and soon he felt that something was wrong, turned his head over, and saw that he had one hand on Ling Shuang's fragrant shoulder, and Ling Shuang was hanging his head, his snow-white cheeks were flushed, and he looked a little cramped and uneasy, Chu Huan came to his senses, was taken aback, and secretly scolded himself for getting a little carried away, hurriedly withdrew his hand, and said with some embarrassment: "Ling Shuang, I'm ...... That one...... Don't be surprised, I ...... unintentionally! "Today's people are different from future generations, there is a saying that men and women can't be receiving, although Ling Shuang was born in a Qinglou, but she is a clean girl's body, she touches her body inadvertently, she doesn't care, but for Ling Shuang, it is somewhat disrespectful.

Chu Huan naturally didn't have the idea of a master and a slave in his mind, his ideological inertia was that everyone respected each other, Ling Shuang was the first day he lived in, and he was suspected of using his hands and feet, which made Chu Huan really feel a little embarrassed in his heart.

Ling Shuang saw that Chu Huan looked embarrassed, he really did it unintentionally, for some reason, Ling Shuang was a little disappointed in his heart, but felt that Chu Huan had the heart to take his shoulder, which seemed to be better.

"Sir, you ...... Don't say that. Under the light, Ling Shuang's delicate face was flushed, and a pair of watery eyes seemed to be dripping: "You are Ling Shuang's savior, Ling Shuang...... Ling Shuang just wants to repay you well in the future, as long as the master does not dislike Ling Shuang, Ling Shuang is willing to follow the master all the time. ”

Chu Huan was startled, secretly thinking that if you had been following me, Qi Wang Yingren would have to fight with me, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This ...... That's not ......! ”

He was originally very bold, but at this time, under the lonely lamp, such a bright girl was in front of her, and there was a faint fragrance on her body, which made Chu Huan feel a little uncomfortable.

Ling Shuang's delicate body shook slightly, and her voice trembled a little, "Master is saying, Ling Shuang...... Ling Shuang can't stay with the master? Her face was still flushed, but now it was a little pale.

Seeing this, Chu Huan understood, and dared to love Ling Shuang, thinking that he would send her away, shook his head and said, "Ling Shuang, don't think about it, in fact, things are not what you think." After a pause, he sighed: "Ling Shuang, you don't have a burden, let alone think that I helped you, you have to repay it, this shouldn't be your burden." ”

Ling Shuangbei bit her heavy lip lightly, and pondered for a moment before saying, "Master, actually...... In fact, Ling Shuang didn't just want to repay your kindness, but ...... But......! He lowered his head, but did not dare to speak.

Chu Huan scratched his sideburns and said softly: "Ling Shuang, what do you say, in front of me, you don't have to scruple." ”

Ling Shuang didn't look up, but said in a very low voice, "Ling Shuang...... Ling Shuang doesn't just want to repay you, Ling Shuang stays by your side, it's also ...... Also because I like to stay with you......! By the end of her speech, her voice was as thin as an ant.

No matter how stupid Chu Huan was, from Ling Shuang's expression and tone, he naturally sensed something, and he was surprised: "This girl shouldn't have taken a fancy to me, right?" ”

He may be able to have feelings with many women, but in this world, only this woman is the most untouchable.

"Lingshuang, that ...... Don't get me wrong. Chu Huan frowned, "I was careless just now, and I didn't mean it." ”

Ling Shuang secretly glanced at Chu Huan, saw Chu Huan frowning, his heart sank, he bit his red lip, and finally asked softly, "Master, did Ling Shuang come here, did it make you very embarrassed?" She raised her head and looked at Chu Huan, her expression became very resolute: "If Ling Shuang causes trouble to the master here, then Ling Shuang will leave immediately." ”

Chu Huan knew that this woman was very resolute in her bones, and she was good at observing words and feelings, and if she had a slight discoloration, she would see the clues, and said with a wry smile: "Ling Shuang, you are here with me, I can't ask for it, how can you say that you are causing me trouble." ”

Ling Shuang blinked, in fact, she couldn't figure out Chu Huan's mind now, and asked softly, "That...... Does the old man like Ling Shuang to stay? ”

"Of course." Chu Huan nodded, but he felt that such an answer seemed to be a little inappropriate, and he was really a little confused for a while, he knew that there must be something wrong with Ling Shuang living in, but now it was true

Ling Shuang smiled, her eyes were like a crescent moon: "Master, don't worry, Ling Shuang knows what to do in the future, and she will never cause you trouble." As if he remembered something, he said, "Master, the slave will go and boil hot water for you, and you can wash it later." ”

Chu Huan hurriedly said: "No, no, I'll do it myself." Then he pointed to the painting and said, "Ling Shuang, do you say this painting is real or fake?" ”

Ling Shuang leaned forward, pondered for a moment, and then said: "The slave maid can't see it, but this kind of paper is really only available in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the slave maid has seen a few fakes before, and I don't know what the real thing looks like, but the lines of this painting are very smooth, and it is indeed a painting handed down from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, even if it is a fake, it is also a fake that began to be handed down in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the slave and maid feel that it should also be very valuable." After a pause, his eyes were like water, revealing a shrewd look: "But the slave feels that the person who really collects such a painting will not know the authenticity of it, if it is a fake, how can it be passed down from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to today?" ”

Chu Huan was surprised: "In this way, this "Nine Views of Streams and Mountains" may be genuine? ”

Ling Shuang nodded: "Although the slave maid can't be sure, there is a good chance that it is genuine." After a pause, he added: "If this painting is genuine, then it is worth a fortune!" ”

Chu Huan frowned, but his heart was also a little shocked, he was already a little sure that this painting was genuine at this time, after all, it was sent by Feng Yuanpo of Hexi Dao, and he was the governor, so he would not send a fake.

However, he is only the head of the household department, but Feng Yuanpo gave such a generous gift, and he was too generous, and he was still like this, so he couldn't imagine the gift to Hu Bufan.

Feng Yuanpo was working in the household department, of course, it couldn't be for no reason, Chu Huan knew that the ultimate goal of opening up the joint between him and the household department was nothing more than to successfully build the Northern Xinjiang Trade Field, so it seemed that the Northern Xinjiang Trade Field was quite important to Feng Yuanpo.

The room that Ling Shuang chose was not far from where Chu Huan lived, and Chu Huan didn't say much, as long as he didn't live in one room, it was easy to say anything.

Chu Huan also knew that Ling Shuang settled here, Yingren was only afraid that he would be worried about coming here day and night, as long as he had the opportunity, he would definitely come to the door, he guessed really well, two days after Ling Shuang moved in, at dusk that day, he returned to the house, but found that the door of the house was unusually open, and there were two Tsing Yi domestic servants guarding outside the door, looking at the clothes were domestic servants, but looking at the hands and feet, it was definitely hard stubble, Sun Desheng was next to the gate, still with a brocade cloth sticking to his beard, when he saw Chu Huan coming back, he greeted him with a smile and said in a low voice: "Lord Chu, His Royal Highness has just come over!" ”

Chu Huan hurriedly walked towards the main hall, and Sun Desheng whispered beside him: "Miss Mo is waiting, let's take a look at the movement first, don't disturb first!" ”

Chu Huan nodded and asked softly, "Mr. Sun, did Your Highness explain the ins and outs of the matter today?" He only felt that if he explained the situation to Ling Shuang earlier, he wouldn't have to be in a dilemma.

Sun Desheng hurriedly said: "This can't be done. The time is not yet ripe. His Royal Highness said that if he wanted Miss Mo to really like him, if his identity was revealed so quickly, he himself would not be able to judge whether Miss Mo really liked him in the future. ”

Chu Huan smiled bitterly: "In this way, His Highness wants to play true feelings?" ”

"It's not playing." Sun Desheng corrected: "His Royal Highness really likes Miss Mo, so he also hopes that Miss Mo really likes him, His Highness said, this is ...... It's called love! ”

He, a eunuch, seems to be quite energetic when he talks about this kind of thing between men and women.

Chu Huan stopped and said, "That's it, since Your Highness is inside, I won't bother for now, I'll eat here at night, and I'll go buy some food." ”

"No, you don't." Sun Desheng said: "Your Highness is going to the prince's mansion for a banquet, and His Royal Highness said that if you go with you in the evening, you don't have to work hard." ”

"To the Prince's Mansion?"

"Yes!" Sun Desheng nodded, the two of them were already close to the main hall, but they didn't dare to get too close, but they found that there was silence in the main hall, and there was no sound.

I don't know how long it took to see Yingren come out in a brocade dress, today in order to see Ling Shuang, Yingren obviously put a lot of thought into it, dressed up very handsome, handsome and elegant, but when he came out, his face was a little embarrassed, as soon as he went out, he saw Chu Huan, raised his eyebrows, showed a smile, and walked over quickly, Ling Shuang had already gone out to send it out, and when he saw Chu Huan, he immediately said: "Master, Xu Gongzi is looking for you!" ”

Chu Huan said secretly: "What came to me, it came to you." He smiled and said, "Master Xu!" ”

"Brother Chu, Brother Chu!" Yingren pretended to arch his hand, turned his head and arched his hand towards Ling Shuang, pretending to be a Si: "Girl, it's really disturbing, if there is any rudeness, please bear with me!" ”

Chu Huan said in his heart: "Could it be that in the house, you have already been rude to Ling Shuang?" ”

But seeing Ling Shuangyan, he smiled and said, "Young Master Xu is polite, you are the honored guest of the master, and you are the distinguished guest of our Chu Mansion, and you have ...... You have helped the little girl, and the little woman is grateful and remembered! ”

Yingren laughed and said: "Girl, I still have some connections in the capital, if you need anything in the future, just tell me, I will definitely help you get it." Hmm, Brother Chu and I are good friends, and I can't say that I will come to visit from time to time in the future, does the girl like jewelry? Or rouge gouache? Well, or I've got some great pastries over there, so I'll bring them to you next time. Well, this girl is dressed beautifully, next time I come over, I'll bring you some good clothes to ......! ”

He is a golden body, and he doesn't know how to express his love, he just feels that he can express his admiration by providing some material needs to the person he likes, and he is able to express his admiration, his heart-wrenching words, looking at Ling Shuang's eyes, but he feels very funny, lightly covering his red lips and laughing, that smile is beautiful, Yingren saw it, and thought that Ling Shuang had a good impression of himself, and he was still a little embarrassed when he went out before, but at this time he was already dancing: "Haha, it seems that the girl likes it, that's good, I will definitely do this well!" ”

Ling Shuang bowed and retreated into the house, Yingren approached Chu Huan and sighed softly: "Miss Ling Shuang is really strange, I was in the house just now, I asked some old words, but she couldn't say two words, now when I come out, she suddenly showed her heart, a woman's mind is really hard to guess, well, Chu Huan, do you see Miss Ling Shuang has a good impression of me?" ”

Chu Huan said with a smile: "There must be something!" ”

There must still be some good feelings, but Chu Huan is not sure if Ling Shuang has feelings for Yingren between men and women.

Yingren looked up at the sky, took Chu Huan's hand, and said, "It's not early, go over there with me first, don't let it be too ......!" Lowered his voice: "Don't let the prince's brother wait!" ”

Chu Huan said softly: "Your Highness will go to the Prince's Mansion, the minister...... It's not appropriate for the ministers to go together, right? ”

"Nothing out of place." Yingren said: "Sometimes he says something I don't understand, you go with me, I don't understand, you may be able to understand, let's go, don't delay any longer!" ”

Yingren was indeed full of trust in Chu Huan, sat in the same car, got into the carriage, and Yingren couldn't wait to ask: "Chu Huan, I heard that you beat someone in the household?" ”

Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Has this matter been spread?" ”

Yingren smiled and said, "Chu Huan, do you know who is the most well-informed in Beijing?" ”

Chu Huan shook his head.

"It's not a province under the door, it's not a province of books, it's not a province of books." Yingren said with a smile: "The most intelligent news is those eunuchs and palace maids in the Inner Servant Province, if there is something in any corner of the capital, it will not take long for it to spread in their mouths, Sun Desheng is the ears of this king, don't look at this king staying in the palace, things outside the palace, this king is clear." ”

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Your Highness is wise. ”

"Don't be wise." Yingren leaned over and said softly, "Chu Huan, didn't you say that we should keep our eyes on the dark and fight without fighting?" Why did you make trouble in the household department first, you not only beat Dou Yi, but also forced him away, isn't this making enemies for yourself? ”

Chu Huan smiled bitterly: "Your Highness thinks I want to do this? ”

"That'...... Then why do you do that, you don't want to? ”

"Your Highness, dare to ask, have you seen the military staff in the household before?" Chu Huan stared at Yingren and asked, "The Holy Lord is wise and wise, do you think it's just a whim to put me into the household department?" ”

Yingren scratched his head and said suspiciously, "I don't understand." ”

Chu Huan lowered his voice and said: "When a martial artist joins the company, the role is self-evident, that is, it is to be arbitrary. The Holy Wisdom transferred me to the household department, in fact, he wanted me to perform martial arts in the household department, so that I could make some trouble in the household department, otherwise there would be no need to arrange it like this. If I honestly run errands in the household department, within a month, I will definitely be transferred out of the household department and will no longer be reused! He smiled bitterly and said, "My toss in the household department is just to do it according to the will of the saint!" ”

"Yes...... Did your father make a secret decree to you? ”

Chu Huan shook his head and said: "Such a will, the Holy Lord will not go down, it will only let me understand it myself, if I can't comprehend it, I am not worthy of doing such an errand for the Holy Lord!" ”

Yingren frowned, puzzled: "Actually, this king is also very strange, you are a military general, you should be named a military attaché, but it is really unexpected to seal you to the household department." After thinking about it, he asked softly, "Why did my father do this?" Why did he want you to make a big fuss in the household? ”

Chu Huan shook his head and said: "The sacred heart is like the sea, this point, the ministers don't have to think about it, they can't think about it, as long as they do their best." ”

Yingren understood, and said: "This king is strange, you have just entered the household, it is impossible to be so impertinent, it turns out that you guessed what your father meant." Leaning on the carriage, he wondered, "It's just why did my father do this?" The household department is the place where I have money and grain in Daqin, and it is an important land, why does my father want you to set off a storm in the household department? Chu Huan, don't guess your father's thoughts. ”

"No, it won't." Chu Huan shook his head and smiled: "If you guess wrong, the minister has been driven out of the household now, and even his head has fallen to the ground." ”
