Although Ji Duo didn't understand why Ye Wenyan wanted to find Miss Yu Jiashu's friend, the master's orders must be unconditionally obeyed to them, so he didn't ask, turned around and left.

After she finished breakfast, Ah Li, the maid who went to the auspicious shop to buy snacks, came back and brought back a piece of news-

"When the slave maid was queuing up in the auspicious shop, she heard the two people in front of her talking, saying that there was a six-grade chief in the Criminal Department who had been dismissed and was going to move out of the capital in the next few days, but her wife was still out and owed the account and had not been settled! The other person asked if it was the eldest lady? She said no, she was a concubine of the Yu family, but she put on a shelf when she met people, and she liked people to call her Mrs. Yu. If you want to make money in the business, she will follow her heart and say two nice words to Mrs. Yu, and she can buy more as soon as she is happy. When it was the slave's turn to buy snacks, I heard the people of Jixiangpu say that the Yu family also owed the account in the shop, and they had to hurry back in the past two days. The slaves and maids together with the Yu family came to our house to make trouble, so I told the young lady. ”

Ye Wenyan was very happy to hear the news, "Do you know which family the two people who are talking about this are?" ”

"I know that one of them is the Liu family who opened Wanfu Building on Shuntian Street, and said that the debt should be the account owed to the Wanfu Building."

Ye Wenyan thought for a while before remembering that Wanfulou is a jewelry shop in the inner city, which is not the best, and generally serves the families of officials and families of five or six grades, at most four grades. She wrote down the incident, and when she was about to go out, she said to Mama Ji: "Mama will go to the Wanfu Building in a while and inquire about the Yu family's debts." If you can ask more, then ask who they owe money in addition to Wanfulou and Jixiangpu. ”

Mama Ji nodded: "The old slave will go now, and after inquiring, I will go to Shangshu Mansion to pick up Miss." ”

The group divided into several routes, Ji took the outer city, Ji Mama went to Shuntian Street, and Ye Wenyan went to Shangshu Mansion with the pendant and the prepared half-car of gifts.

The reconstruction of the inner city was very fast, the imperial court was not short of wages, and the craftsmen of the outer city all had a heart of feeling, and they were professional and hard-working. In just a few days, the main streets of the inner city have been repaired, and even more than half of the shops facing the street have been repaired.

Shangshu Mansion was not damaged much, but after a slight repair, it is no different from the previous year.

When she arrived, Jiang Feng had not yet returned, and Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Wanting were both at home. As soon as they heard that she was coming, the two of them were very excited, and Mrs. Jiang immediately ordered the cook to prepare the meal, saying that she would leave her after lunch.

Ye Wenyan pushed it a few times, but he couldn't push it, and it would be bad to refuse strongly, so he could only agree to stay, and then told Jiang Wanting Zhang Luo to move the things in the car out.

Jiang Wanting said to her: "What kind of gift do you give when you come to our house!" You've been here so many times before, and I've never seen you see you like this. It's going to stand up with this rule, right? Then I will go to your house in the future, and I will also bring courtesy, and we will all be polite. ”

She laughed when she heard it, "It's not valuable, Jixiang Shop's dim sum, don't you want to eat it?" ”

"Yes!" Jiang Wanting was very happy, "If you give this, then I will be happy to accept this gift." As for the rest, you'd better take it back as you like, we really don't need that. ”

Ye Wenyan shook his head, "It was Uncle Xie Jiang who helped our family in this matter of the Yu family, if there was no help from the Criminal Department, it would not be so easy to solve this matter satisfactorily, and it would be necessary to deal with the Yu family a few more times." I don't care, my eldest brother is worried, how can someone like him have ever experienced these pickled things. ”

Jiang Wanting was not in a good mood when she heard her mention her eldest brother, and she didn't mention gifts or not, and she didn't even have the heart to eat the dim sum sent in by the next person to Jixiangpu, so she just sat sullenly in the chair, not knowing what she was counting.

Mrs. Jiang sighed when she saw it, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only let Ye Wenyan drink tea and eat snacks.

However, Ye Wenyan took a long box from Shen'er's hand, and said to his wife: "This time, I came here and said that Uncle Xie Jiang was a foil, but I really didn't bring anything to Uncle Jiang." I brought a good thing to Aunt Lan, do you want to see it? ”

Mrs. Jiang's maiden name is Lan Meiyu, and Ye Wenyan has always called her Aunt Lan. At this time, I heard that there was a good thing, and I was immediately interested, and immediately asked, "What is it?" I look, of course I want to. ”

Ye Wenyan smiled and handed the box forward, "Aunt Lan opened it herself, although this thing is for Aunt Lan, but presumably the happiest person may be Uncle Jiang, so even if I give half of this gift to one person, no one can be offended." ”

The mystery of the gift had been fully mobilized, and Mrs. Jiang couldn't wait to open the box, only to see a picture scroll lying inside, which looked like silk silk, but it was much better than all the silk silk she had ever seen. Whether it is the thickness of the silk or the density of the silk weaving, it is many times finer, and even the materials used by the ladies in the palace are not as good as those used in this picture.

Mrs. Jiang was really shocked, "Is this silk?" How is this silk different from what you usually see? It looks like silk but not silk, like yarn and not yarn, so thin, but it can paint pictures. Is this a painting on it? What is the drawing? ”

"Aunt Lan will see when you open it."

Mrs. Jiang immediately took out the scroll, and the sullen Jiang Wanting was also attracted, and immediately stepped forward to help unfold it carefully.

The moment the picture scroll unfolded, both of them were stunned, and even the maid next to them couldn't help but poke their heads over, with a look of surprise.

Shen'er was curious, and also went up to take a look, and then looked at her young lady with round eyes, and the meaning was obvious: Miss, when did you draw it? Why haven't I seen you draw this?

Think about it again, no, I didn't hear that Miss Four can draw! Although she used to wipe the ashes in the eldest lady's house, after all, the fourth lady is the daughter of the eldest lady, so naturally she often comes and goes. For many years, I have never seen Miss Four draw, and I have never heard that Miss Four has asked a teacher to teach her how to paint. It can be said that in addition to martial arts, the fourth lady is not familiar with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

How did this suddenly come out in its entirety?

The painting is still Mrs. Jiang herself, if she remembers correctly, this is the dress and makeup on the night of the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, right?

This painting is too real, with the injection of spiritual power, not to mention the ancients, even future generations will sigh when they see it. The 3D stereoscopic effect, which is completely beyond the scope of the knowledge of the ancients, makes the people in the painting come to life as if they have come out.

Mrs. Jiang was already speechless in shock, Jiang Wanting slowed down faster, and asked Ye Wenyan with a frightened face: "Tell me about you, can't you all day and night?" Is this scary? ”

She was stunned, "What, what do you mean?" Is this painting scary? Saying that, he also leaned over, "It's not scary, it's Aunt Lan who painted it!" Look at these eyebrows, eyes and facial features, is it the same as a real person? It took me a few days of hard work to get it done. ”

Shen'er lowered her head silently, and said in her heart, Miss, you are not sorry for this, when did you ever paint? Why didn't I look at it?

Thinking about it again, such a bizarre picture scroll, I am afraid that only Yanhua Palace can drum it up. Well, eighty percent was given by Lord Dizun, so it was no different from her own efforts.

So the little girl cheered up again and nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, my young lady has been painting for a long time!" ”

Jiang Wanting twitched the corner of her mouth, "I don't care about your brother, if I'm not mistaken, it was the night before yesterday, right?" It's been a long time since this was painted? ”

Ye Wenyan patted her, "Don't be in a hurry to question it first, you listen to me give you quibbles." ”

"What for me?"

"Explain it to you." She wiped her sweat, "Actually, I painted it before, and I had an idea when I came back on Chinese New Year's Eve, and then I turned over or something, anyway, I tossed it intermittently until this morning, and I didn't officially finish it." I guarantee that this thing must be a product of the yang world, and you can rest assured that it will not be haunted, will not collide with evil spirits, and can ward off evil spirits. ”

"Pull it down! I haven't heard of using my mother's relatives to ward off evil spirits, you dare to say anything. Jiang Wanting laughed at herself, "I just think your painting is so strange, it's obviously a painting, but why does it look like a real person?" No, it's more real than a real person, and the moment I opened it, I almost thought that another mother came out of the painting. It's scary, what kind of painter does it take to paint such a true painting? Awen, is this really what you painted? ”

"Of course I painted it."

"How did I not know you could draw?"

"You didn't know I could dance the phoenix before!"

"That's what I'm talking about! Why do you have so many things that I don't know? How did we agree before? Be honest with each other and don't hide anything. Only I am honest with the co-author, but you are hiding it with me? ”

Ye Wen said that he couldn't say it well, so he forgot about this stubble, so he hurriedly comforted: "Don't be angry, and don't get angry with me because of this." I used to have these skills because my grandfather secretly asked Master to teach me behind everyone's back. Many times I crawled out of the bed in the middle of the night and followed the teacher to class, and my grandfather wouldn't let me tell anyone, what could I do? It's not that you don't know, when my grandfather was there, it was absolutely the same, and I didn't dare to quarrel with him. ”

As soon as she explained this, Jiang Wanting felt that she was right, and even felt that the old general was really far-sighted. is facing the persecution of Ye Wenyan and the Dafang family again and again against the Ye family, thanks to the old general who left the means to save his life for his most beloved granddaughter, otherwise this will be endless, and it is not certain whether he can get up or not.

So she also patted Ye Wenyan to express her understanding, and said happily: "This painting is best hung in my father's study, usually he works in the study, and my mother and I don't bother, but he must think of us!" I sent him a painting of my mother to show him, and I solved the pain of lovesickness. You draw one for me when you go back, and I'll hang mine in it. ”

Ye Wenyan nodded, "That's no problem. Looking at Mrs. Jiang again, she still stared at the portrait motionless.

After a long time, I heard Mrs. Jiang suddenly say: "I seem to be ...... such a painting." Seen. ”

Night Wen Yan was shocked!
