Chapter 55 Life to see people, death to see corpses
Jiang Dai's reaction made Chen Muzhi's heart suddenly move.
Since entering this house, Jiang Dai has been faint and lazy, not at all like he wants to squeeze money out of himself. But as soon as Chen Muzhi mentioned the wonderful people of Yunshan, she immediately became enthusiastic and excited.
If it was just a simple fun approach, it wouldn't make her so excited.
Unless, this Yunshan wonderful person is very important to Jiang Dai.
Chen Muzhi knew that although the paintings of Yunshan Miaoren on the market were scarce, they had been circulating for twenty or thirty years, and Jiang Dai and Qin Yi were in love, and Yunshan Miaoren was definitely not a lover to Jiang Dai.
Perhaps...... Benefactor? Or a loved one?
No matter what, Chen Muzhi doesn't need to know so much, if he wants to open Jiang Dai's chatterbox, just start with Yunshan Miaoren.
Chen Muzhi rolled his eyes: "If you really want to sell these paintings for a sky-high price, it's not difficult to ......."
"I didn't plan to sell ......" Before he finished speaking, Jiang Dai immediately stopped, changed his words, and said, "Why isn't it difficult?" ”
"Ask someone to go to Shizi Lane, and say that Yunshan Miaoren has a picture of an eagle striking the sky, which painter can find this picture, and he is willing to buy it for a thousand taels."
Shizi Lane is a gathering place for art dealers, and if someone pays a huge sum of 1,000 taels to collect paintings, the value of this painter will definitely skyrocket.
Jiang Dai was puzzled, and said uncertainly: "But Yunshan Miaoren has never painted an eagle ......."
"Of course I haven't painted it!" Chen Muzhi said happily, "Otherwise, if you find one, you will have to really come up with a thousand taels." ”
Jiang Dai was dumbfounded, this method of speculating on the price of painting was really unheard of.
"This ...... Aren't you weak-hearted? ”
"What is the weakness of the heart? As I said, it's priceless for those who really like it. It's not that he lacks a standard, but he just lacks a chance to be known by everyone. His paintings are fully worthy of this market price. ”
Jiang Dai completely lifted the bead curtain at this time, sat down opposite Chen Muzhi, and picked up the teapot on the table to refill Chen Muzhi's water.
Not really asking her to drink, but an attitude.
"Mu Gongzi ......" Jiang Dai's face lowered slightly, and her eyes had already glanced over, with the kind she was already used to.
"How old are you?"
"Twenty days until the age of fourteen." Chen Muzhi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and met her gaze.
"You came to the Tired Rain Building, and you named me to find me, do you want me to give you a coming-of-age gift?" Jiang Dai is full of charm and picking beans, and even his voice is full of charm.
I'm dripping for a day, no wonder General Qin misses her. Chen Muzhi was stunned.
This woman's style is not exactly the taste of Qinglou. She was like a gentle family who was thrown into this place where she had to wear a mask.
Her "mask" is so beautiful, but it is also visible at a glance.
Even Chen Muzhi, who is "not yet fourteen years old", was attracted by this woman who was not outstanding in appearance.
Seeing Chen Muzhi looking at her blankly, Jiang Dai smiled slightly, and his soft and boneless little hand stretched out lightly......
The innate vigilance of those who practice martial arts made Chen Muzhi flash suddenly.
Looking down again, Jiang Dai's hand was actually reaching for his belt. Chen Muzhi's face flushed.
Jiang Dai didn't go any further. The charm on her face had been taken away for some time, and her hand was slowly retracted, supporting her cheeks.
"Wood Child...... Oh no, Wood Girl, what are you doing with me? ”
Her voice was soft, but Chen Muzhi was startled when she heard it.
"How do you know ......" As soon as he said it, Chen Muzhi knew that he was exposed, but instead lowered his head and smiled.
"Am I not pretending?" Chen Muzhi asked.
Jiang Dai looked at her, her thin eyes did not make people feel sharp, but there was some natural gentleness.
"Miss Mu was born heroic, like a handsome young man. But ......" She stroked her ear, her fingers drawing a graceful line along the earlobe and the earring, and the earrings swayed.
“…… You have pierced ears. ”
"Uh...... I see. ”
Chen Muzhi was mixed in the East China Sea Division, and no one could see her daughter's body, in the end, Jiang Dai knew people better than those big men.
Jiang Dai said with a smile: "To make a living in our business, knowing people is fundamental." You are still young, and you are a girl's family, but it is not convenient for you to elaborate on the reason. Which family's daughter are you, I don't ask, I don't think you're here to have fun, let's talk about it. ”
"I'm looking for General Qin Yinian."
The smile on Jiang Dai's face suddenly froze: "You're in the wrong place." I don't know anything Qin Yinian. ”
With that, she stood up and opened the door: "Send off." ”
The tone was extremely cold and non-negotiable.
This change really caught Chen Muzhi by surprise, and she also stood up, but she didn't plan to leave.
"Miss Jiang Dai, I have something very important to ......"
"Sending off!" Jiang Dai's voice became louder.
The little maid who had just come in with tea had already heard the voice: "Our girl said to send off guests, son, please come back." ”
"Get out!" Chen Muzhi suddenly reprimanded, his tone was cold, and the little maid was stunned on the spot for a while.
"One ingot of gold is enough to buy your girl a round of tea."
Although Chen Muzhi looked thin in men's clothes, his eyes were sharp and firm at the moment, and his body opened up an invisible aura, condensing the air around him.
There was a stalemate for a moment, and after all, Jiang Dai was deflated first. She waved her hand to the little maid and motioned for her to leave.
The little maid saw a lot of the girls' means of trying to get away with it, and only thought that this was another little mood, although she felt that this young man was a little strange and terrifying, but she didn't say much, and when she withdrew, she gently closed the door.
"Who the hell are you?" Jiang Dai looked at Chen Muzhi vigilantly.
"I don't want to tell you. However, I have met General Qin and now want to find out his whereabouts. ”
Seeing that Jiang Dai did not relax at all, Chen Muzhi said again: "General Qin carries a mandarin duck bag with him, which contains a strand of the girl's hair. Right? ”
Jiang Dai's body trembled, and his eyes immediately became gloomy.
"If you know him, you should know that he is dead......
"How so!" Chen Muzhi exclaimed.
Jiang Dai seemed unwilling to let Chen Muzhi see his sadness, so he turned around and turned his back to her.
"The command ship disappeared in the storm, all the officers and men on the ship were killed, only the second lady of the Guogong Mansion survived alone, and the news spread all over the capital, don't you know?"
Speaking of the back, she was choked up.
"It's not a war death, it's a disappearance. No, no, no...... It doesn't matter. Chen Muzhi shook his head, "But General Qin had already transferred to other warships before the incident with the command ship, don't you know?" ”
"Impossible!" Jiang Dai suddenly turned around and looked at Chen Muzhi with a pair of teary eyes, "It is impossible for him to leave Grandpa Guo, he told me that if anyone is unfavorable to Grandpa Guo, he will step on his corpse Qin Yinian." He couldn't live alone! ”
If you are not a person who has personally experienced the battlefield, you will not be able to understand such a heart-to-heart relationship between brothers.
Death for a confidant. This is exactly the life-and-death friendship between Chen Yu'an and his two lieutenants who have been born and died for many years.
Chen Muzhi's nose was sour, but he didn't shed tears.
"Miss Jiang Dai, tell me where General Qin lives."
"What's the use of telling you. If he comes back alive, it is impossible not to tell me. Jiang Dai's tears rolled down like pearls with broken threads.
Chen Muzhi stepped forward and took her hand: "Tell me all the clues you know about General Qin." I will look for him with all my might, to see a man in life and a corpse in death. ”
