Qing'er stepped forward and knocked on the door of the courtyard, the dilapidated door was full of colors, and the copper-plated knocker was polished to a bright finish.

"Is anyone there?" Qing'er asked loudly.

There was a gurgling sound from inside, and then someone opened the door inside, "Who?" ”

Shen Yuan stood behind Qing'er, looking at the people who came to open the door.

Shen Yuan tilted his head slightly and was stunned for a moment, but quickly smiled and said, "What a coincidence, Painter Jiang." ”

Jiang Qiyu was dressed in a white-washed royal blue cloth robe, with wide sleeves tied tightly with a belt, and long hair tied into a ponytail, which was a little more casual and energetic than when he was in the Ruyi Pavilion.

Shen Yuan saw that Jiang Qiyu didn't speak for a long time, so he pointed to his face and smiled innocently, "I'm Shen Yuan, Jiang painter." ”

"Bang!"

The courtyard door was closed, and Shen Yuan was a little flustered, could it be that Jiang Qiyu discovered that he had stolen the horse map?

"Second Miss, what now?" Qing'er asked.

Shen Yuan was also a little apprehensive in her heart, and asked her what to do? She doesn't know what to do!

Judging from Jiang Qiyu's dress just now, Jiang Qiyu is likely to live here.

If she knew so, she wouldn't have come here herself!

Shen Yuan hesitated for a long time, and was about to come back another day, when the door was reopened.

Jiang Qiyu had already put down his tight sleeves, his long hair was meticulously tied up, and he had a cold face as if he was in the palace, "Come in." ”

Shen Yuan and Qing'er looked at each other for a moment, and then followed Jiang Qiyu into the courtyard.

There was a pond in the small courtyard, and a few bundles of bamboo were placed on the side of the pond, Shen Yuan glanced at Jiang Qiyu's hands covered with small wounds, thinking that these wounds were caused by cutting bamboo.

Shen Yuan walked over and saw that the pond was soaked in bundled bamboo, and there were still a lot of bamboo and paper drying on the courtyard wall, which was the first time Shen Yuan had seen these.

Jiang Qiyu took Shen Yuan and Qing'er into the house, poured them two glasses of boiled water, and said with a straight face, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Shen Yuan happened to be thirsty, so he took a cup and took a sip. The crude cups are a little prickly, and they are not worth mentioning at all compared to those white jade porcelain cups in the Qin Palace, but they are washed very cleanly and carefully.

Jiang Qiyu was a little surprised when he saw that Shen Yuan took water to drink without a mustard.

After all, in his impression, none of these powerful young ladies are pampered.

At first, because Shen Yuan was personally received by Gu Xingzhi, he still had a good impression of Shen Yuan, but after being kicked indiscriminately by Wei Yan, Jiang Qiyu's good impression of Shen Yuan was gone.

"I'm not here for you." Shen Yuan put down the cup, looked at him and said, "I'm here to buy Chengxintang paper, I know you must have it at home." ”

For some reason, Jiang Qiyu's face sank leisurely, and his brows were tightly locked, "Don't sell it." ”

Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows, took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels from his sleeve, and said, "One thousand taels and one piece." ”

Who knew that Jiang Qiyu was even more angry, and his gaze at Shen Yuan showed a little disgust, he began to drive people away with a black face, "If you don't sell it, you won't sell it, even if you give 10,000 taels, I won't sell it to you!" ”

Don't sell it to me?

Why is this guy so cautious? The kick of the prince made him remember it until now!

Shen Yuan pursed her lips and met Jiang Qiyu's gaze, as if there was a battle of sparks flying invisibly, Qing'er felt the tense atmosphere around her, and couldn't help but drink water to suppress her shock.

In the end, it was Shen Yuan who was defeated first, after all, she had to get the Chengxintang paper before she dared to raise the bar with Jiang Qiyu.

"Since Painter Jiang is not doing business today, then I will come back another day, Qing'er, let's go." Shen Yuan snorted lightly, and could only leave with Qing'er unconvinced.

Jiang Qiyu watched Shen Yuan and Qing'er walk out of the courtyard, and his angry eyes gradually calmed down, and indescribable emotions were brewing in them.

"Ahem......" Suddenly there was a coughing sound in the inner room, and then a weak voice was heard, "Yu'er, was there a guest at home just now?" ”

"Mother, you heard it wrong, you sleep for a while, I'll help you get the medicine."

Shen Yuan returned to the Qin Wangfu with a stomach full of anger, locked himself in the house after closing the door, and Qing'er was in a hurry outside, "Second Miss, don't come and lock the house alone." ”

Every time Shen Yuan can't control his emotions, he likes to lock himself in the house, and he won't take the initiative to come out until his emotions calm down.

"Sister Qing'er, I just want to be alone and quiet."

Qing'er sighed, the words she said today were already blocked, and she ran into a wall with Jiang Qiyu later. The second lady is in a bad mood, and it is natural that she is in a bad mood.

I hope the prince will come back soon.

When night fell, Shen Yuan looked out the window again, this was the first time Wei Yan had not returned so late. After all, Shen Yuan was still a little worried and uneasy, and simply left the room.

"Second Miss, you're finally out." Qing'er lived next door to Shen Yuan, and as soon as Shen Yuan opened the door, she heard it.

Shen Yuan nodded with interest, and then sat down at the small round table under the apricot blossom tree, Qing'er lit a lantern and came over, "Second Miss, you haven't used dinner, what do you want to eat?" ”

Shen Yuan was lying on the table, half of his face was hidden in the crook of his arm, he didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to wait here for Wei Yan to come back.

I have suffered enough grievances today, and it is all my own problem, I can't complain about others, Shen Yuan doesn't even have the strength to smirk now.

Qing'er saw that Shen Yuan insisted, so she had to go back and get a cloak and put it on Shen Yuan, and then silently accompanied her.

If only the eldest lady and the young master were still there......

Finally, when Shen Yuan was about to fall asleep on the table, there was a faint commotion in the house, Qing'er's eyes lit up, and she said, "It should be that the prince is back." ”

Shen Yuan finally got a little energetic, took the lantern on the table and ran out.

"Second Miss, run slower, don't fall!" Qing'er shouted worriedly from behind.

Shen Yuan held the lamp pole in his hand and ran all the way to the gate of the mansion, but he didn't think that the guard of honor had already been lined up at the gate of the mansion. The maidservant and the little maid stood on both sides conscientiously with the spirit of twelve points, and even Concubine Xu was wearing formal clothes and drawing makeup to stand aside to greet them.

Concubine Xu also saw Shen Yuan, and said to Mama Wang beside her: "Go and pull Shen Yuan over, stare at her for a while, don't let her mess around and break the rules." ”

As soon as Concubine Xu's words fell, she saw Wei Yan, who had returned from outside, enter the mansion, and she couldn't take care of Shen Yuan for a while, so she led people to salute in a uniform manner: "Welcome the prince back to the house, the prince Jin'an, the princess of Danyang Jin'an." ”

Shen Yuan raised her eyes and looked at the people who walked into the mansion, not only her son, but also a smiling princess Xiliang.

Shen Yuan looked up at the sky without a single star, yesterday she watched the sky at night, knowing that everything would be bad today, but she didn't expect to be so unsmooth!
