Hu Xianxian hadn't thought of this before, and when he heard the shopkeeper say this, he muttered in his heart: Yes, why do you want to paint my face?

Cheng Haofeng was not in a hurry when he saw her face turn from sunny to cloudy, and said with a meaningful smile to the shopkeeper: "The two of us are husband and wife, and this painting is only to save the eldest son of Lu, and there is no other intention, no need to think about it." ”

The shopkeeper heard it in a fog, but seeing that they didn't want to say more, he didn't want to ask again, and when the guy took the money and came out, he sent them out.

When the two walked to a secluded alley, Hu Xianxian couldn't hold back the sulking in his heart, pouted and stomped his feet, "How can you ......?"

"Can't you claim to outsiders that we're husband and wife?" He spoke to her in a rare teasing tone.

"I don't mean that, it's the picture you painted......" Seeing his eyebrows with affection, her anger had already subsided, and her tone softened.

He took her hand, "It's noon after such a delay, let's find a place to have lunch first, and I'll tell you more about it while we eat." ”

She knew that he was now running out of spiritual power and had no food for fireworks, so she obeyed his arrangement to find a restaurant for lunch first. The two sat down in a quiet and elegant room in the corner of the upstairs, Hu Xianxian ordered a lot of dishes, which he used to eat or not, but now she thought that he could try his best to eat them.

When he sat down safely, tasted tea and waited for the food to be served, he said to Hu Xianxian at this time that he knew both Prince Lu and Ah Pian.

This Lu eldest son, Lu Kaizun, is the eldest son of Lu Huanbang, and he is an unruly gentleman, but at the same time he is a bold and righteous temperament. Lu Kaizun's style of acting is different from his father's old and ruthless, the emperor was able to sincerely recruit Zheng Tianba and Ye Guanying and others, and Lu Kaizun also had the credit of persuading Lu Huanbang.

"I can't imagine that there are still these twists and turns back then, I really don't know anything about it."

Hu Xianxian said, and snorted lightly, "These court matters have nothing to do with me, what I want to ask is not these, you are not allowed to open the topic." ”

He said in a deep voice: "I didn't say that these court things have anything to do with you, I just want you to know that everything must look at the yin and yang, not just the side you see and hear."

He sighed lightly and looked at her with some concern, "If I'm gone, I wonder if anyone else is worried about you?" ”

Her nose was a little sour, and it happened that when the wine and food were served, she gave him a piece of steamed mutton in a bowl to hide her sad feeling.

Seeing him chewing slowly, she smiled and said, "I just don't want to use my brain, you don't want to avoid the drudgery of bothering and laboring, I want you to figure out everything you do." ”

"Well, the drudgery that can't be escaped......"

He didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he casually followed her. He then talked about the origin of Ah Pian, who turned out to be the incarnation of a white thrush.

Ah Pian has been cultivating in the mountains for thousands of years, and the opportunity for her to get cultivation is also related to Cai Que. Cai Que is the blood of Luan Feng, and when he encountered an accident, his mother entrusted Ah Pian to send the Cai Que who was still an egg to Qingqiu Country.

"Rainbow magpie? You're talking about my magpie? ”

"Yes, Caique's mother is Princess Jinluan, but her father is a mortal. Cai Que also has several sisters serving in the Heavenly Court, but Cai Que suffered a change that year, and the spiritual root was damaged, so he was unable to turn into a luan. ”

Hu Xianxian shook his hand in front of Cheng Haofeng's eyes, "You're not kidding me?" ”

"I naturally want to make these origins clear to you seriously, what are you teasing for? Didn't you notice that I was painting a colorful phoenix instead of a colorful magpie? ”

"I thought you were just trying to make it look better......"

"Everything in the world is inextricably linked, and some peculiar coincidences are not just coincidences."

Seeing Hu Xianxian nodding seriously, he continued to tell about Ah Pian. A Pian was meritorious in escorting Caique, and Princess Jinluan taught her the method of cultivation in order to repay her kindness, and she became the thrush king of the thrush family from an ordinary white thrush.

This Lu Kaizun likes strange birds and beasts like most of the gentlemen, and his favorite is the white thrush, but how can a boy like him take care of the thrush well? Countless white thrushes died at his hands.

Hu Xianxian understood, "Ah Pian is here to avenge her people?" She was afraid that killing Lu Kaizun directly would violate the rules of heaven, so she incarnated as an adult to cause Lu Kaizun to spend money and mess with his mind, and finally died by himself. ”

"Exactly, Ah Pian is a demon after all, and she can't kill mortals. My painting can warn Lu Kaizun and deter Ah Pian. ”

There is Cheng Haofeng's unique inscription on the painting, Lu Kaizun has dealt with him, and he recognizes that the inscription is Cheng Haofeng's inscription. He should have seen the painting and remembered that Cheng Haofeng was reminding him, and he would naturally gradually notice that Ah Pian was different from mortals.

The painting has the image of a colorful magpie turning into a phoenix again, and after seeing it, Ah Pian understood that the painter knew her origin and purpose, and deterred her from doing anything else.

Hu Xianxian said that she hoped they could understand the deep meaning of his paintings, and said that if neither of them would stop, she would come forward directly. With that, she leaned down on the table and chuckled under her breath.

Cheng Haofeng was a little puzzled, "What are you snickering at?" ”

"I'm laughing at you, didn't you see the shopkeeper? In his heart, you are a flattering villain who does not hesitate to sell his wife's beauty for the sake of money and to please the noble son. ”

"He has nothing to do with me, whatever he thinks."

When they were talking and laughing, there was a commotion outside the door, and Hu Xianxian's eyes froze. These guests who just came were Che Chuang, the owners of Hongzhen Kee Restaurant, Ah Ban, Gan Ruju, Ma Zhutou, and two other people they didn't know.

Hu Xianxian didn't have any psychology about these trivial matters at this time, but there was a faint feeling of uneasiness in her heart, so she concentrated on what they were going to do together.

Cheng Haofeng saw that Hu Xianxian's expression was different, so he followed her gaze and looked out, although he lost his aura, he was still more deaf and clear-sighted, and he immediately understood Hu Xianxian's doubts.

After those people sat down in the private room diagonally opposite, Hu Xianxian was engrossed in observing their every move with his spiritual power.

Che Chuang occupied Hongbin Building at a low price back then, and after Hu Yonggang bought Hongbin Building back, he should hate the Hu family, right, how could he be so intimate and familiar with Ah Ban?

Although Ah Ban is not the real owner of Hongbin Building, but now he is taking care of all affairs, how can he not avoid suspicion and drink and have fun with his business rivals?

Ma Zhutou has been removed from his post since the prefect of Che was transferred, but he is used to shouting, and everyone still calls him "head catcher". He is more and more unrestrained in his misdeeds, and now he has become the leader of the gangsters in the North Gate area.

The other two people who didn't know each other knew knew from their verbal conversation that the fat and sturdy man was the head of the guard team guarding the north gate of the Xiang army, the head of the Gou team. Another little black and thin old man, they all called him "Brother Ma", and he called himself "Ma Ran".

They talked about a lot of things, and one of them was to let the black and thin old man drive Ma Shuo out of Yizhuang.
