Chapter 251: Red Rose
Has Wei Shivan frowned slightly so many times?
But he really couldn't understand why Burling did it.
"And why do you have to say it's a confrontation," Bai Ling thought for a moment, "and it's okay to talk about it." ”
Wei XIV looked at Bai Ling.
She wants to expose Aunt Shen's identity on the spot, and she still does it on the other party's territory, this kind of conversation can't be regarded as a conversation.
However, what Bai Ling had already decided, he was not going to say anything more.
Bai Ling said softly, "And I have a feeling. ”
"Hmm."
"This old lady may already be waiting for me."
A few people continued to walk along the route of the previous time, with the previous experience, this time Bai Lingduo prepared a fisherman's straw hat, and walked directly inside, and really did not attract any more favors from the upstairs girl along the way.
When he was about to reach his destination, Bai Ling suddenly looked at Fourteen, "Fourteen doesn't need to go into the house with me for a while, just watch in the dark." ”
"You want to go in alone?"
"Hmm." Bai Ling nodded, "If you are here, it will be a threat to her, and I will go alone, which can make people let their guard down." ”
Wei XIV was reluctant to do this, because in such a narrow realm, his protection of Bai Ling would also be difficult.
For the last time, Wei XIV asked, "We already know her identity, is there any need for such an adventure?" ”
"Yes." Bai Ling said softly, "I want to know who is behind her."
After so many days, without knowing her identity completely, but not knowing anything about the people behind her, Bai Ling had a faint guess that she was just picking up the puzzle pieces that others had deliberately dropped.
"Fourteenth master, don't worry, I'll accompany Bai Siyao!" Ah Li volunteered.
Wei Shixi lightly touched a Hidden Blade placed on his wrist on both sides, and he had made all preparations before coming.
"Okay." He replied softly.
The dirty alley of the flower lane still smelled as rancid as ever, and Bai Ling and Ah Li walked to the door of Aunt Shen's house and gently slammed on the door.
"Aunt Shen!" Ah Li banged on the door loudly, "It's me!" Ah Li! We're coming! ”
An old voice belonging to the old man sounded hoarsely, "Please come in"
Ah Li walked in front, pushed open the door, walked in like last time and sat down next to the coffee table in the middle of the room, Bai Ling also sat down next to Ah Li, and Old Lady Shen was opposite the two of them, with a gentle smile on her face.
There was already a small wooden box on the coffee table, and Ah Li reached out to open it, but was tickled by the wood in Mrs. Shen's hand.
Ah Li's hand was painful, and he quickly retracted his hand.
"Aunt Shen, what are you doing, isn't there a rose snuffbox in this box?"
"Yes." Old Lady Shen replied slowly.
"Then you won't let me touch it?"
Old Lady Shen looked at Bai Ling with a smile, "Earlier, the girl said that she wanted to order twelve red rose snuff bottles, and I have been in a hurry these days, so I made a rough one first, so that the girl can see if the style likes it first."
Bai Ling smiled, "Aunt Shen can see that I am a girl." ”
"Ahh Mrs. Shen paused for a moment, only to realize that she was talking about "girl" and not "childe", but she immediately shook her head, "Hey, what kind of place is this, it's good to come in by pretending to be a man, I understand." ”
Bai Ling asked seriously, "What do I don't look like?" ”
"It's like I don't know, the old body is also seventy or eighty people, things don't rest in front of my eyes, I can't see clearly at all," Mrs. Shen also smiled, her voice was so slow that it seemed to bite out the words one by one, "As soon as you enter the house, I look at my figure, and I feel like a girl." ”
"Aunt Shen's eyes," Bai Ling's gaze also looked at the small wooden box on the coffee table, "Then let's take a look at this snuff bottle?" ”
Mrs. Shen nodded, and her two dry hands slowly placed on both sides of the wooden box, "Then, please leave and go out first." ”
"What?"
"Appreciating pots is about mood." The smile on Mrs. Shen's face gradually faded, and was replaced by a certain kind of stubbornness that belonged to the craftsman, "One person looks, two people watch, a group of people look, what they see, and what they feel in their hearts are all different."
"Yes"
"Ah Li," Bai Ling interrupted Ah Li's words, Ah Li wanted to say something more, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Bai Ling's smiling eyes, "Go out, I'll call you in a while, Aunt Shen is a snuff bottle expert, listen to her right." ”
"Then I'll just stand outside, and call me if there's something."
"Hmm."
Only Mrs. Shen and Bai Ling were left in the room, and the light of the candle flame flickered between the two, making their faces look a little flickering.
"Si Yao is very bold." The old man said suddenly.
Bai Ling laughed, "Aunt Shen is even bolder. ”
"Oh?"
Bai Ling looked at the old man in front of him, "When did you know my identity?" ”
The old man smiled, "No need to say that you can't afford it. Why don't we look at the pot first? ”
"Okay."
The old man's ten fingers slowly opened the wooden box, and there was a transparent glass bottle about three fingers wide inside, she slowly pushed the wooden box in front of Bai Ling, and then handed her a magnifying glass wrapped in copper wire.
Bai Ling held the glass bottle in her hand, and through the magnifying glass, she could see every detail inside the pot.
The old man's drawings are powerful.
The red roses in her pen are reminiscent of clusters of flames, this kind of brushstrokes that exude vigorous vitality, in this world of advocating restraint and forbearance, it is extremely rare for the painters here to paint landscapes, flowers and birds, ladies, and gentlemen, all of which reveal a kind of elegance and moderation, even if the roses are in the painting, they are mostly white roses.
It is probably because the red rose is too bewitching, which is disliked by literati and ink writers.
But Bai Ling did like the old man's green leaves and red flowers, and because of this, she didn't believe that the old man who could paint this kind of work would be an uncommunicable bastard.
"Are you satisfied?" The old man looked at Bai Ling, who had been silent for a long time, and asked softly.
"Satisfied." Bai Ling replied, "I like the angle from which Aunt Shen looks at the flowers, each flower blooms happily, not pretentious, not cowardly. ”
The old man was visibly stunned for a moment, and then laughed with a complicated expression.
Bai Ling raised his eyes and looked at the old man, "I also saw a rose shop in the palace, and the flowers there are also blooming very well, but it's a pity that the person who raises flowers is a poisonous woman, Aunt Shen should know who I'm talking about." ”
"That's why Si Yao came to me today, right?"
"Hmm." Bai Ling nodded, "But Aunt Shen, don't worry, I'm coming to you to talk to me, because I already know everything." ”
The old man's expression stiffened slightly, and she gritted her teeth gently, "Then what are you doing here?" ”
"I just don't get it." Bai Ling said softly, "Lord Shen is high-spirited, Mrs. Shen is gentle and tenacious, they handed over their only little daughter to you, why did she grow into a human demon here with you?" ”。
