Chapter Twenty-Four: The Painting of the Fourteenth Master

Only Guo Xiang was left in the room, still unhurriedly stretching out his chopsticks to pick up vegetables.

Someone always has to break the heavy atmosphere, Qian Xiaoqian decisively kicked over Xu Yougui's stool.

"Eh! What are you doing......? ”

"Why are you so careless? Hurry up, hurry up! Then he pretended to reach out to help, and said to Yinzhen while helping: "The fourth master is not surprised, we are all from a small place, and we have not seen much of the world." This is also the first time to see the royal family and nobles, and I am a little nervous. ”

As the emperor's elder brother, Yinzhen has never lacked the cultivation he should have. He knew that even if he was angry at the moment, it was not the time to deal with his own Fujin, and there were more important things to do.

So he followed Qian Xiaoqian's voice and looked over.

But he didn't answer, staring at him for a while, then frowning, as if remembering something.

"Have you seen it before? I always feel that this face is very familiar......" Yin Zhen walked up to him, pinched Qian Xiaoqian's chin and looked at it carefully.

Qian Xiaoqian didn't know it well, could it be that he still had an impression of the fate of the Geldan battlefield at the beginning? Can't you......

The longer Yinzhen observed, the more weak Qian Xiaoqian became. The pinched chin twisted uneasily, Yin Zhen frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Don't move!" ”

Guo Xiang saw that the situation was not good, his eyes rolled, and his heart was certain. got up suddenly, slammed the chopsticks in his hand to the ground, and pretended to be angry: "Yinzhen, you really have a new person and forget the old one...... Why, in the backyard, Nian Fujin, who looked like a fairy, entered the mansion, and when he turned his head, he fell in love with the white-faced little student of Lanzhi Yushu? ”

The yin and yang of these words were weird, and the thirteenth elder brother stared at his fourth sister-in-law with wide eyes. He suddenly felt that he had met his fourth sister-in-law on the first day. Because the image in his heart would never say such a thing, let alone such a public occasion.

It's a strange thing every day, and there are so many of them today!

Although Yin Zhen let go of his hand, he was not frightened by this sarcasm, and the smile on the corner of his mouth made people palpitate even more.

"In a hurry? Looks like I guessed right, we did. Let me guess, where have I seen it? Yin Zhen's eyes swept lightly over Qian Xiaoqian and Guo Xiang's faces, and he was satisfied to see that they were nervous and embarrassed by being caught. He said to Guo Xiang a little proudly: "Do you think I don't know anything about your deal with the fourteenth brother?" even pretended to go to exchange tokens with Nie Yuan. Is the person in the picture that's him? It's not good to look at. I thought that the fourteenth brother would rest assured that what kind of stunner would be on the tip......"

Fortunately, it wasn't because he remembered what happened on the grassland, it would be bad if he found out the secret.

But what does the painting in the Fourteen Hands refer to? Qian Xiaoqian looked at Guo Xiang and was very puzzled.

Guo Xiang was a little embarrassed.

It's not for the deliberate act just now, but the painting proposed by Yinzhen. She didn't expect to be debunked in front of the owner of the painting.

The thirteenth elder brother hammered his hand, exclaimed, pointed at Qian Xiaoqian and said, "I remembered!" There is indeed such a painting on the fourteenth brother's house, and the man in the painting is dressed very strangely, with long pants and short hexagrams, and no braids...... Like ...... Right...... Like a monk! When he got closer, he pulled Qian Xiaoqian to look left and right, and said with great interest: "It turned out to be you!" But it's not like a monk! This braid is not good..."Saying that, he was about to pull it, Qian Xiaoqian was startled, and hurriedly grabbed the braid to prevent him from moving. The Thirteenth Master didn't insist, and then said: "I asked him at the time if he was alive or dead, tell me!" How did you hook up with Brother Fourteen? He hid your portrait in his study, a forbidden place where even the ladies of his house were not allowed to set foot in! It seems to be a baby, isn't it? ”

After saying this, not only did the thirteenth elder brother look interested, but even Xu Yougui, Yu Ziyan and others, who acted as human flesh backgrounds from beginning to end, also looked at Qian Xiaoqian with gossip, and almost squatted on the side of the melon seeds to watch the play.

The topic character is completely confused by the second monk. In his impression, he had never seen the target person, the Fourteenth Elder Brother, at all. Even if the portrait was given by Guo Xiang, what is he going to do if he wants to come?

Lewdness?

Qian Xiaoqian's body shook, he felt that it was impossible......

There's only one reason for that, unless they've actually seen it.

"Wait, didn't you come here today for the grain seizure case in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?" Qian Xiaoqian suddenly felt that the direction of the topic was not quite right. If we don't move the topic back, there will inevitably be no unexpected changes. So he said to Xu Yougui: "Didn't Mr. Dai let you talk?" Why don't you talk about it soon? ”

Xu Yougui saw his boss squeezing his eyebrows, and hurriedly understood and helped change the topic. With a serious expression, he took out the letter from his arms and said, "Mr. Dai instructed the little one, this letter needs to be handed over to you by hand, and it must not be given to others halfway." Everything he wanted to say was in this letter. ”

Yinzhen nodded and took it to unfold. After reading through it, he added: "Dai Duo has always done things properly, and I already know the things. He turned to look at Guo Xiang again, but instructed Qian Xiaoqian and the others in his mouth: "This matter has been undertaken by the Ministry of Households, and it is inevitable that you will be found by someone who lives here." In the next few days, the thirteenth brother will arrange for you to live elsewhere, and I will send someone to contact you if there is something. ”

The words are reasonable, but no matter how they feel, they are isolating Qian Xiaoqian and others from Guo Xiang. Guo Xiang snorted coldly and shook his hand away. Qian Xiaoqian didn't want to disturb the fourth master's mansion too much, and followed the thirteenth elder brother to the arranged accommodation.

Only Yinzhen was left alone, staring at Qian Xiaoqian's back thoughtfully.

……

The breeze swept by, the silver-red window screen fluttered, and Linglong hurriedly reached out to hold the pen stand hanging in front of the table, for fear of being stained with ink.

This curtain was personally chosen by Concubine De Niangniang in the palace when the mansion was built. It is said that the master is too pure, and he wants some red and more festive, which just reflects the blessing of opening the house and building teeth.

The lord is very filial to Enie, whether he likes it or not, he will not save his mother's face. But if you really use it to make clothes, and it's too ostentatious, I really don't like it.

So he made a curtain and hung it in the study. It can deal with the forehead, and it is called "day and day, and I don't pay my mother's heart." You don't have to wear it on your body, you live like an auspicious doll in a New Year's painting.

Thinking like this, Linglong naturally feels baby.

So I checked it carefully and made sure that it was okay before I dared to turn around and pack up other things.

Seeing that the sun is in the west, the master is about to return home, and the table has not been wiped yet, so it is inevitable that he is a little anxious.

Girls like them were never allowed to enter the study. But her good little servant couldn't finish today's study cleaning due to illness, so she suppressed her fear and came to work. I just want to clean up before the master comes back and retire successfully.

But I didn't want to be too anxious and knocked over the end frame of the ink, and the ink strips fell straight into the painting jar.

Linglong panicked and hurriedly picked up the ink strips. However, the outside of the huge painting jar was still stained by ink strips even though there was only one scroll of paintings.

Suddenly, the world was spinning, and he was unsteady on his feet.

"How is that good...... I'm going to kill you...... Whining! ”

She cried earnestly, and the newly applied rouge on her little face rubbed against her sleeves. The Fourteenth Master, who didn't notice what he was most afraid of, walked into the study and stood in front of her.

Yinyu didn't even look at Linglong who was kneeling on the ground wiping her tears, but carefully picked up the painting, unfolded it, and saw that it only stained the outside and did not hurt the picture, so she was very relieved.

Then there was an extremely cold order: "Come on, drag it out, and hand it over to Fujin for disposal." I remember I said that women are not allowed in this study, and since some people should turn a deaf ear, they must be prepared to accept punishment. ”

From beginning to end, his eyes never left the painting, let alone gave Linglong the slightest chance to defend himself. In his opinion, if the painting is fine, he can spare her life, which is already tolerant.
