Chapter 170: Retrieving the Portrait

"Although the identity of the woman in this portrait is unknown, such a beautiful woman must be a legend."

Xie Cheng looked at Jiang Yin and said lightly.

But Jiang Yin's face did not show a strange expression, "There are no legends now, they are all women, and they are all equally pitiful." ”

Jiang Yin's tone was full of disappointment, and her fingers gently brushed the face of the person in the portrait, extremely gentle.

"Yin'er, since the painter didn't find it, it's useless to keep this painting with me, why don't I send this painting to you?"

Xie Cheng asked Jiang Yin tentatively, and he could see that Jiang Yin had a special feeling for this painting.

Jiang Yin nodded and looked at Xie Cheng embarrassedly.

"Xie Cheng, I'm really sorry, I'm bothering you again, I owe too much for your favor."

Xie Cheng rolled up the portrait and gently put it in Jiang Yin's hand.

"Yin'er, where do you speak, everyone is a friend, why bother to see outside?"

"Then I'm welcome, there is one more thing, I want you to help find the whereabouts of that painter, if he is hunted down, I don't know what happened now, if there is hope, I want to save him."

Jiang Yin's earnest expression made Xie Cheng unbearable to refuse.

"Yin'er, don't worry, if you can use my place, you can just speak, I will definitely help you with this."

When Jiang Yin heard these words, she was very moved, and the people who treated her with heart in Zhou Guo were the few people around her.

"Then I'll go back first, and I'll come back to you another day."

Jiang Yin said goodbye to Xie Cheng with the scroll, and walked outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

It wasn't until he left the mansion that Hua Yan looked around and made sure that there was no one before he stopped and looked at Jiang Yin.

"Yin'er, if the painter has really seen you, if he is coerced to paint another painting, I'm afraid the situation is not optimistic......"

Hua Yan's brows were furrowed, and the moment he saw the portrait, his heart was hanging.

That portrait is the scene painted by Jiang Yin on his fifteenth birthday, dressed up in the street.

"Let's go back first, we found this painting, and it's a blessing that it didn't fall into the hands of others. There are so many people in Jiang Guo, he may not be able to remember my appearance. Jiang Yin had no confidence.

Although she has a special status, she may not remember her face because of the passage of time.

Xue Yuexin sat in the study after returning home, the pen in her hand fluttering, she stopped from time to time to look at the painting in front of her, trying to paint the appearance of the woman in her memory.

The maid was grinding on the side, and she didn't dare to come out, for fear of interrupting her thoughts.

A few hours passed, and Xue Yuexin's painting finally came to fruition. She stopped the pen in her hand, took the painting in her hand, and studied it carefully for a long time.

"Although this painting is not the original, this appearance is still seven or eight points like, are you right?" Xue Yuexin looked at the maid beside him and asked.

The maid nodded, and said with a clear conscience: "Your Royal Highness Princess, your painting is really good, you already have a nine-point portrait, if it is put together with the original painting, ordinary people can't distinguish which one is the original painting." ”

Xue Yuexin turned her head to look at the maid and smiled with satisfaction, "Look at this little mouth, it can speak." You have people copy a few more of the paintings, and then give them them to find the person on the picture. ”

She handed the painting into the maid's hand, and a strange smile appeared on her face.

"I want to see what kind of sacredness it is, which can make Xie Cheng worry so far, and the portraits are all laid out!"

After a while, Xue Yuexin heard the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion wants to see you."

The guards knelt outside the door and reported to Xue Yuexin.

"Prime Minister's Mansion? Let him in! ”

Although Xue Yuexin had doubts in her heart, she could probably guess what the prime minister meant.

As soon as the old housekeeper saw Xue Yuexin, he immediately knelt down, "See Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

"Hurry up, butler, you don't have to make such a big gift."

Xue Yuexin helped the old housekeeper up with a smile on her face, which made the housekeeper flattered.

The old butler stooped and stood respectfully.

"Princess, our lord wants to invite you to be a guest tonight and have a homely meal, I wonder if the princess has time?"

"Since it was my uncle's invitation, then Xin'er naturally has time, please trouble the housekeeper to go back and tell my uncle, Xin'er will definitely be there tonight."

Xue Yuexin smiled and asked the maid to send the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion out of the mansion.

When night fell, Xue Yuexin arrived as promised, and when he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, he found that Xie Zhiheng had already prepared all the meals, and Xie Cheng was also present.

"Uncle, Xin'er is late, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting."

Xie Zhiheng pointed to the position next to him and motioned for Xue Yuexin to sit down, and Xie Cheng was also next to her.

"What are you talking about, silly boy, sit down."

"Brother Xie Cheng." Xue Yuexin shouted, and sat beside Xie Zhiheng by himself.

Due to his father's presence, Xie Cheng simply nodded, and didn't even reply, seeing that Xie Zhiheng was in a hurry.

Xie Zhiheng glared at Xie Cheng and gave him a look, but Xie Cheng didn't move.

"Cheng'er, the osmanthus crucian carp soup in front of you is newly made by the chef, hurry up and give Xin'er a bowl to taste."

Xie Cheng glanced at his father, his father's sharp eyes seemed to be able to scratch him, and he was very helpless.

Xie Cheng reluctantly picked up the bowl on the table and gave Xue Yuexin a small spoonful.

Xue Yuexin took it with a very good look, "Thank you Brother Cheng!" ”

Xue Yuexin picked up the small spoon and stirred it in the bowl, putting the small spoon into his mouth.

"Well, it's delicious, the fish is fresh and tastes great......"

She praised Xie Zhiheng from ear to ear.

Xue Yuexin knew what Xie Zhiheng meant, but Xie Cheng had never paid attention to her, and she was still a little uncomfortable in her heart.

But when I thought that Cheng had ideas about himself, I was much happier.

From ancient times to the present, it is the words of the parents who are the matchmaker, if it is to please the prime minister, then the matter between her and Xie Cheng must be simpler.

"Uncle, you eat this, this is delicious......"

Xue Yuexin kept serving Xie Zhiheng food on the table, and said a lot of good things to please him, so that Xie Zhiheng's laughter never stopped.

In Jiujiang Restaurant, Jiang Yin stood in place with the portrait, she looked at her previous portrait and was a little distracted, and the scene of the day was vivid.

Hua Yan stood aside, and didn't dare to go up to disturb her, only to see tears flashing in the corners of her eyes.

Waiting for Jiang Yin to come back to her senses, she took the portrait and walked in the direction of the candle, and Hua Yan stepped in front of Jiang Yin in one step, blocking her way.

"Yin'er, have you really thought about it?"

Jiang Yin nodded, and was just about to burn the portrait when he heard a "bang", which was the sound of something falling.

Zhao Yazhi stood outside the door and saw that Jiang Yin was about to burn something, but accidentally touched the flower stand, and she was ready to flee the scene quickly.
