Chapter 50: I... I'm most afraid of losing you
Yan Liben has lived in Chang'an for so many years, and he has been in this world for many years, but it is the first time he has met such a beautiful woman, even if it is a place where the beauty is like a cloud, he can't find such a beautiful woman, alas, when he first met this mysterious woman, he thought about whether he could get his hand, but now he has been taken by Lin Fan, how can this kid be so lucky, alas, he still died of this heart, and his friend's wife can't be bullied.
"Lord Yan, the ink is already ready, there is no need to grind it anymore."
Yan Liben came back to his senses at this time, looked up at Lin Fan in surprise, looked at his smug smile, he was really envious, jealous and hateful, he took a long breath, and when he looked at Xue Tao again, he was already very calm, and there were not so many chaotic thoughts in his heart.
"Let's get started."
Xue Tao described softly, Yan Liben didn't stare at her anymore, leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes and began to write, looking extremely serious.
After Xue Tao finished speaking, Xue Ying continued to add, they waited on the side after describing, Yan Liben painted seriously, and asked some questions from time to time.
This process lasted for most of the hour, and Yan Liben finally took a long breath and put down the hard pen: "The two of you come over to see if it is the same as the assassin himself."
Xue Tao glanced at it and nodded slightly, without speaking, Xue Ying was different, he saw the portrait and exclaimed: "Wow wow is so similar, looking at this face is like seeing the bastard himself, like, like it, like it, you are really amazing, you are really amazing, we can draw it just by describing it a little, Mrs. is amazing, my lord"
Yan Liben waved his hand, interrupting Xue Ying's flattery, the ink had not dried yet, and the painting could not be put away, Lin Fan took Yan Liben to the hall to eat something, and now he has painted a portrait of Wang Xuanqiong, and the rest is to paint a few more pictures, the task assigned by the emperor is half completed, and the remaining half can only be done by Yan Liben himself, even if it is copying, no one can paint his kind of portrait, he can only suffer himself, the capable work hard, who called him so capable.
When Yan Liben walked out of the threshold, Xue Tao raised his head slightly, and he wanted to stop talking, this scene fell in Lin Fan's eyes, he saw that Xue Tao seemed to have something to say, and hurriedly stepped forward and said softly: "If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter, Lord Yan is easy-going, don't be shocked, in the future, Lord Yan will also be a teacher in the academy, everyone will be familiar with it, Lord Yan and I have a good relationship, if you have anything to say, just say it boldly, don't be restrained."
"Me"
Xue Tao glanced at Lin Fan in confusion, no man had ever said a word to her so softly, and her heart had gradually set off greater ripples.
Xue Tao's heart was warm, and after Lin Fan said this, he became a little bolder, and said to Yan Liben slightly: "The adult's painting is amazing, the people's girl is really shocked, the people's girl has a request, I don't know if the adult can agree?"
Yan Liben said: "Any request, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree."
Xue Tao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The folk girl wants a portrait of her ancestors, can you draw one for the folk daughter, the folk girl will be a lot of money."
Yan Liben was stunned for a moment, he thought it was some other big request, it turned out that he was just painting a portrait, simple, this is his forte, so he patted his chest and agreed happily: "This thing is simple, as for fundraising, don't do it, let's talk about your mother's physiognomy and characteristics."
Lin Fan smiled approvingly: "Lord Yan is really open-minded, Lin admired the two stunned people, and ordered to go down, prepare a luncheon, and thank Lord Yan well today."
Yan Liben smiled and waved his hand: "Lin Hou doesn't need to be polite, the official just took advantage of the fact that the portrait was drying to draw an extra portrait, it's not a big deal, it doesn't have to be like this."
He suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty asked us to draw a portrait as soon as possible, we only painted one, how can we start eating and drinking, Your Majesty is still angry, if Your Majesty knows the blame, wouldn't we be able to eat and walk around?" Let's wait until this meal is over. ”
Lin Fan smiled and said, "It's still Lord Yan who thinks thoughtfully, okay, it's decided, let's not get drunk afterwards!"
"Good!"
After another half an hour, Yan Liben painted another portrait, which was a portrait of a mature beauty, although it could not be compared with Xue Tao, but it still did not lose its true colors, and her facial features were vivid.
Looking at this portrait, Yan Liben sighed lightly and said, "Sure enough, if there is a daughter, there must be a mother."
"Blue is better than blue, tsk"
Yan Liben handed the portrait to Xue Tao, turned to Xue Ying again, and asked suspiciously, "Are you really your father's biological son?"
Xue Ying scratched his head and smiled, "I look more like my father."
"No wonder"
Yan Liben muttered a word and put away Wang Xuanqiong's portrait, and left the Lin Mansion after saying goodbye to Lin Fan.
After sending Yan Liben away, Lin Fan returned to the back house, but saw Xue Tao standing in front of her mother's portrait in a daze, originally wanting to get tired of it with her and appreciate it more, but at this moment, seeing that her back was a little depressed, he gave up this idea and quietly left the back house.
In the afternoon, Lin Fan lay under the tree and closed his eyes to recuperate, the scene of Yashan still came to mind, thinking about Wang Xuanqiong's methods are still palpitating, if it weren't for Qin Yong, Cheng Huaimo, and Niu Zhongren being present, the consequences would not be the current situation.
This kind of person will be repaid, will he definitely be!
Lin Fan didn't dare to think about it anymore, if Wang Xuanqiong looked for revenge on him and Xue Tao and Xue Ying, then the means he used would definitely be beyond your imagination, to prevent this kind of cruel person, you can only not let him catch it, if he is caught, there will be no good result, this kind of person is far more difficult to deal with than Wang De.
Thinking of the terrifying possibility, Lin Fan jumped up from the chair, summoned the housekeeper and the general, and gave an order, and they immediately prepared according to Lin Fan's wishes.
The family will be divided into two batches, one group will be led by the housekeeper to Anyang to bring Lin Fan's parents to the house, including the food that the parents are more concerned about.
Another group went to Chang'an to pick up the eldest lady of the Lin family, Xiaoxue, and came back to live, and the two were stunned as coachmen, driving Lin Fan's carriage straight to Chang'an
His parents and sister couldn't understand Lin Fan's move, and when Lin Fan told them about the dangerous situation, they suddenly realized that they wouldn't leave if they wanted to let them go out now.
Xiaoxue was surprised that her brother suddenly had a wife, much more surprised than her parents, they were happy after being a little surprised, although the parents' orders were matchmakers, but this kind of ancient thing did not exist in the Lin family, and all the rules of the Lin family were gradually changing because of Lin Fan.
Xiao Xue looked left and right around Xue Tao, seeing that Xue Tao's face was a little hot, Xiao Xue glanced at it rudely, and pushed Lin Fan in surprise and said: "Brother, is my sister-in-law a person, why is she so beautiful, she is so beautiful that she doesn't look like a human anymore."
Lin Fan scolded with a smile: "How can there be a sister like you who actually says that her sister-in-law is not human."
Xiaoxue chewed her mouth and said, "I'm indirectly complimenting, okay."
Lin Fan didn't take care of this sister who is no longer small, after a few months of doing business and taking care of several industries of the Lin family, this former little girl has matured a lot now, and people still have to hone to grow.
Looking at the departing figure of her brother and sister-in-law, Xiaoxue sighed with emotion: "If I had a quarter of my sister-in-law's beauty, I would be content, alas, it's a pity that I don't have that life."
"But"
She tilted her head and thought about it, and suddenly said happily: "If they give birth to a daughter in the future, it will definitely be beautiful, hehe, then I, who is an aunt, also have a good face."
Lin Fan and Xue Tao walked leisurely among the groves in the garden, the two held hands and strolled leisurely, Xue Tao was not suitable for this kind of hand-holding behavior at first, after being cheekily pulled by Lin Fan a few times, he no longer shirked, let Lin Fan's big hand hold her small hand, feel the warmth of the other party's palm At the same time, Xue Tao's heart was happy, being held like this, she suddenly felt like a dandelion.
After drifting, the heart that had been adrift settled down after Lin Fan's intrusion, and at this moment the little hand was held in his hand, and that unprecedented sense of security arose, at that moment, she suddenly felt that the man in front of her was the one she wanted to entrust her life, and her heart also settled down at this moment.
She secretly glanced at Lin Fan, her eyes showed firmness, once she didn't pay attention to her body, her own everything, at this moment, because of the man in front of her, she decided to only guard for him for the rest of her life, keep the festival, she wants to use her life to wait for this chastity that only belongs to this man, you are the only one in this life.
"Are you scared?"
Lin Fan suddenly asked this, pulling Xue Tao back from her sweet fantasy, she looked at him in a daze, her face dazed.
Lin Fan looked at her and smiled slightly: "What I'm saying is that if Wang Xuanqiong comes to retaliate, will he be afraid?"
Xue Tao's gaze drifted forward, her expression was unwavering, she shook her head and said, "Don't be afraid."
Her eyes fell on Lin Fan's face again, and she looked at him affectionately and said, "As long as you are by my side, I am not afraid of anything, I am not afraid of him, I am not afraid of anyone, but I am most afraid of losing you."
Lin Fan's nose was sour, and he hugged Xue Tao tightly in his arms before letting go for a long time.
He looked at her affectionately, revealing his most serious side: "I will never leave you in this life, I promise you that I will not leave you, and I will always be by your side in this life, protect you, and love you."
Xue Tao lowered her head slightly, and the blush on her beautiful cheeks faded out, she didn't know why she said that just now, but she didn't expect so many scruples at that time, and said it smoothly, at this time, listening to Lin Fan's confession, she was unconsciously a little shy.
"Don't you want to?" Lin Fan saw Xue Tao's shyness, but he still asked like this on purpose.
"It's not."
Xue Tao raised her head anxiously, for fear that Lin Fan would misunderstand what she meant, and being so provoked by Lin Fan, she didn't care whether she restrained her emotions or not, she looked at Lin Fan worriedly: "Now that you have offended Wang Xuanqiong because of this incident, I am worried about your safety... You have to promise me, you must be good, you must ensure your safety, okay?" ”
"Don't worry."
Lin Fan gently took Xue Tao into his arms, gently stroked her hair, and said softly: "I'm going to have an accident, I ・・・・・・"
He smiled self-deprecatingly: "What kind of wind and waves have you never seen, will you be afraid of this little bump?" ”
With such a confident sentence, Xue Tao buried his head in his arms with confidence, closed his eyes and quietly listened to his heartbeat・・・・・・
Wang Xuanqiong's portrait was posted all over Chang'an, but the imperial court still couldn't find any trace of him, and he disappeared like evaporating from the world.
Of course, the imperial court will not think that Wang Xuanqiong has really evaporated from the world, he may still be hiding in a dark corner of Chang'an, or he may have fled from Chang'an.
Wang Xuanqiong can't be found, Li Lao naturally can't find out his details, and he can't punish his nine clans, so far... No one knows who this Wang Xuanqiong is, why he has such a big grudge with Li Boss, even Xue Tao and Xue Ying, who have been coerced, don't know who this person is, they don't know much, and even how powerful he is, they only know that they were kidnapped from Qiantang to Nanshao, and then after staying in Nanshao for seven years, they were sent to Chang'an, and began to assist him and dedicate themselves to his revenge plan.
The imperial court could not get useful news about Wang Xuanqiong from the Xue family sisters and brothers, so they could only continue to use the form of notices, hoping that Wang Xuanqiong's traces could be found through the people.
It's just that Wang Xuanqiong hid very secretly, and did not let the people find him, if the people found him, he would definitely report to the official, because the reward of the court is very attractive, a thousand times, which is enough for ordinary people to live for most of their lives, who would not make such a good money?
The wanted warrant was issued for a month without the slightest progress, but Boss Li did not give up, and Chang'an could not find any trace of Wang Xuanqiong, so he turned his target to various places.
This is bitter Yan Liben, Wang Xuanqiong's paintings can only be painted by him, and others can not copy his paintings, so this kind of credit can only be borne by him alone, now he can not go to the court, do not have to take office, directly close at home, immerse himself in painting, and send the portraits of Wang Xuanqiong painted one by one to the hands of the inner servants who came to pick up the paintings, and then promulgate it.
Yan Liben was immersed in painting, naturally he couldn't go to the Lin Academy to teach, thinking about the paintings he had made in the past month, he especially hoped that he would have a capable protégé, Rao was really like this, then he wouldn't be so hard.
Fortunately, Boss Li did not suppress Yan Liben so much, although he wanted to spread Wang Xuanqiong's portraits all over the place, he only handed over two or three portraits to the local subordinate officials, and did not post them all over the street, but only intercepted them at the entrance and exit of the city gate.
Boss Li originally wanted to expedite Lingnan Road for 800 miles, but thinking that even the Xue family brothers and sisters who were beside Wang Xuanqiong couldn't get the details of him, and let the government investigate it, he would definitely not be able to find out, so he had to give up this idea, and only hoped that after laying a net, he could subdue the thief to justice.
Boss Li's main focus was on Wang Xuanqiong, and the handling of officials who allowed assassins to easily enter Yashan because of lax control was not so heavy, but the relevant officials were dismissed, and a small official like the Chang'an County Order was to blame, he was dismissed, and he was no longer an official in this life, and he was not killed, and the Chang'an County Commander was very happy, and left Chang'an, a place of right and wrong, with a family, and went to find a new life in other places・・・・・・ (to be continued.) )
