"Ma'am, there's some truth to that." Liu Chengyan was very kind and relieved.

Chang Le immediately said excitedly: "That's it, I know that Lord Liu Zhai is a good person." ”

"Since Mrs. Taishou is Mrs. Taishou and reconciled with Taishou, it seems that there is no shortage of money now. So these four or six points, is it going to be reversed? ”

Chang Le's face darkened, and he silently took back the words that Shicai praised him: "Lord Liu Zhai, although I am a lady of Taishou, I am not as good as a concubine." Although the rumors are all false, the fact that I was bullied by my concubine and locked up in the cold yard is real. Although I've been doing better in the past two days, it's hard to say whether I'll be so miserable that I won't have anything to eat in the future. So, I have to work hard to earn money and support myself! ”

"Don't you all say that Mrs. Taishou is Taishou's life-saving benefactor?" Liu Chengyan continued to ask questions curiously.

Chang Le smashed the table in anger, and the tea spilled out.

"Yes! So when I met such a favorite, was it miserable for me to take revenge? Lord, do you still have the heart to part with me? ”

After that, Chang Le had already fallen on the table and turned into a poor little cute pet again.

Liu Chengyan's eyes narrowed slightly. The fan in his hand was swirled around by slender fingers and finally pressed against the table.

"Then Liu gave up his life to accompany his wife."

"Lord, how else do you say that you are a good person?" Chang Le's hands made a big arc, and finally slammed it under his chin, his chin rested on his fist, and his face was full of worship, "Really, I will definitely teach the master all what I have learned in my life." ”

"Liu thanked Mrs. first." Liu Chengyan clenched his fists and thanked him in return.

"You're welcome. Here are a few of the pictures I just drew this morning, and you look at them for sale. Chang Le said and took out a booklet in his arms, and took out the white jade ring in his arms, "How much is this worth?" ”

Being followed by Wuze, it is impossible for her to have the opportunity to go to the pawnshop, and it is a good way to let Liu Chengyan run this trip.

Liu Chengyan's gaze stayed on the white jade ring for a moment, and then moved to Chang Le, frowning slightly: "If it is, it will be three or four hundred taels." This ring was given to you by Taishou? ”

"It's not." Chang Le frowned and looked back and forth with his ring, a little suspicious of Liu Chengyan's eyes, "I heard that this is worth five hundred taels, why is it so much less when I come to you?" ”

"The pawnshop will naturally charge at a low price, if you get five hundred taels, it will naturally be less than five hundred taels." Liu Chengyan patiently explained, but he was faintly worried, thinking that her mind was still too simple, and he couldn't help but delve into it, "This is not for you, where did you come from?" ”

"Why do you ask this, do you know this ring? Or do you know the owner of this ring? Chang Le guessed to the end, his eyes widening at him.

If Liu Chengyan has something to do with that little San'er Hua clan, please take Dao Lei and chop her to death.

Liu Chengyan closed his eyes and slammed a fan on her forehead: "Liu is worried that you will be framed." Recently, the pawnshop in Jinshi was robbed, and a batch of gold, silver and jewelry were lost, and the thief has not been arrested. You somehow got a valuable ring, and it is inevitable that it will be used by someone with a heart. Or was the jewel stolen by the lady? ”

Chang Le was suddenly scrutinized by his gaze, and said dissatisfiedly: "Do you think I'm so kind, like someone who did such a thing?" ”

"Madame's words and deeds are not ordinary, if she does such a thing, Liu will not have the slightest suspicion." Liu Chengyan couldn't deny it, unfolded the fan, and shook it twice elegantly.

"Then you are an accomplice of thieves, and the stolen goods will be handed over to you to sell." Chang Le put the ring on the table, "Remember to sell me a high price." ”

Liu Chengyan stretched out his hand to take it, and looked at it twice, it was an ordinary luxury, although he felt uneasy, he still put it in his sleeve: "Liu tried his best." ”

"Sell it, and I'll have a few hundred taels of silver. I see that Lord Liuzhai is well-informed, I wonder if Lord Liuzhai knows the land price in Jiangnan? Chang Le always felt that the answer given by Shili was unreliable.

"Gangnam-gun?" Liu Chengyan repeated with some surprise, seeing her nodding, he closed the fan and knocked on his palm, "The land price in Jiangnan County also depends on the location, the cheaper ones are a few hundred taels, the more expensive ones are tens of thousands of taels, and where the writers live, the real estate is even more valuable, and it is difficult to buy it." ”

Chang Le didn't seem to hear it, and said directly: "Then if I buy a land or a house in a slightly central location in the city, and I can stay in a small house for two people, how much will it cost?" ”

Liu Chengyan frowned slightly with some embarrassment, his eyes rolled, and he roughly estimated: "Two or three thousand taels." The high land prices in Jiangnan County were famous for the Dashi Dynasty, and many of the literary officials in other places spent most of their life savings to get a mansion there. Madam, this is also trying to squeeze through? ”

Chang Le was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect Shili to say less. The writer and official spend half of her life's savings, so it is rare for her to earn a house after working hard for a lifetime.

But think about it, she doesn't want to buy a big house, it's enough to have a small yard, and there is still a head.

"Yes, there is this idea. Looks like I'll have to get a few more rings. Chang Le wanted to rob and steal a little, "It seems that the goal of 1,500 taels is too low." ”

"Jiangnan County is rich in products, and living there is a lot of money on weekdays, and Mrs. has to work hard." Liu Chengyan smiled and encouraged.

Chang Le had a headache, waved his hand and said, "Don't mention this yet, I'll teach you to draw first." ”

As soon as the windows in the room opened, the light from outside poured in, spilling over the long paintings.

Liu Chengyan put away the pen and ink, put on the bluestone pen holder, and put a row of charcoal on the shelf. Then spread the paper and press it on the corners of the paper with a green ink jade ruyi ruler. There is also a bluestone jar in the corner of the table.

Everything is ready, just waiting for Chang Le to begin.

Chang Le got up and went to the table, took out a handkerchief from his arms and put it next to the drawing paper, and opened the bluestone jar with his hand.

Inside is a jar of resin-blended varnish.

This jar was clearly meant to protect the charcoal paintings.

Raising her eyes to meet Liu Chengyan's calm gaze, she suddenly felt complicated, and there was a little more banter in her eyes. Putting the lid back on the jar, she reached out and grabbed a charcoal pen, played with it in her hand, and looked at Liu Chengyan with a wry smile.

"Master Zhai, tell me as soon as you want to learn, why are you secretly learning by yourself?"

No wonder this Liu Chengyan is easy to talk about everything, it turns out that he has long coveted her skills. is also secretly mixing protective liquid behind the scenes, presumably charcoal painting has also been learned.

What makes people even more angry is that he can let himself beg him to learn without knowing anything!

Her face was silently lost.

Liu Chengyan was calm, took the charcoal from her hand, blinked and smiled: "Last time, I had time to speak, this time, didn't Mrs. bring it up first?" I don't know if Liu's own protective grease can be adjusted? ”

Those eyes, not just the sea of stars? There is also an indescribable black place. The light emitted is not only dazzling, but also sharp.

Chang Le knew that he couldn't talk about him, but he was extremely curious about him: "Lord Liu Zhai is really just a scholar? ”

Aren't all scholars nerds?

Where did a delicate heart come from with so many eyes?

Liu Chengyan looked at himself and asked rhetorically, "Isn't it like it?" ”

"Not like that!" Chang Le gritted his teeth.

Now she can only admit it, eat a trench and grow wise, and next time she speaks, she will have to think about it.

Before she could do that, she had to get something important back!

"Give me the ring I just gave you."

Liu Chengyan was confused, took out the ring from her sleeve, and before she could put it in her outstretched hand, she snatched it away, and quickly stuffed it into her arms as if she was afraid of being snatched away.

At the end, she glanced at Liu Chengyan uneasily.

If such a valuable thing were handed over to him, I don't know what the hell he would do.

"It's better not to bother the fasting master, I'll do it myself."

"It's fine. Madame, when did this professor begin? Liu Chengyan knew what she meant, shook his head helplessly and smiled, and reminded unhurriedly, "Madam ran out, I'm afraid there is a time limit." If you delay your efforts, you won't be able to do it. ”

Chang Le licked his lips, crossed his hands on his hips, and tried to find a way to get back to the city: "You all said that I taught you, do you want to change your mouth and call me Master?" ”

"Naturally. In this case, if Liu invites someone to come, let's do this apprenticeship completely? Liu Chengyan asked Chang Le's opinion very sincerely.

Chang Le was so angry that his teeth itched.

He knew that he didn't have much time, and he made this kind of request, obviously deliberately scolding her. He shouldn't have been deceived by his appearance.

"I'll talk about it next time, let's start quickly!"

Liu Chengyan said respectfully: "Obey." ”

……

Chang Le walked out of Pure Water Alley, and after walking a few streets and alleys with his memory, he got lost.

was standing on the street in a daze, and a group of people came out of the jade shop in front of him.

Take a closer look, it's not ten miles. She was followed by Wu Ze and four other guards.

"It's been an hour." Wuze's tone was full of oppression.

Shili panicked like a little white rabbit trapped by a hunter: "Madame said that she came here to see jewelry." ”

"You're finally here?"

As soon as the voice came out, several people turned their heads at the same time to see that it was the Taishou lady they had been looking for.

Shili jumped up in surprise, rushed up in a few steps and hugged Chang Le's arm, and glared at Wuze with confidence: "I just said that Madame is here, didn't lie to you?" ”

"Ma'am." Wu Ze clasped his fists and saluted Chang Le, "Didn't Madame promise her subordinates to wait in the restaurant?" ”

"I don't know how long I'm going to wait for you in the restaurant, so I'll keep Shili and come over first." Chang Le shrugged his shoulders and said, "I didn't expect to wait until it was dark." Let's go, let's go back. ”

"Yes." Wuze was speechless, so he could only follow obediently.

Shili was not happy, glanced at the people who were a few steps behind, and said angrily: "Madam, you left me in the restaurant today, and caused me to run a few streets to find it." Jewelry, do you like it? ”

She deliberately took people to a place a few streets away from Baguizhai, just hoping to meet Chang Le, who had finished his errands.

Fortunately, she ran into it, otherwise she would have been tortured by Wuze.

When the time comes, whether she will confess or not, she herself does not know.

After all, it was Chang Le who didn't want her first.

Chang Le glanced at her, knowing that she was asking about the ring, and rubbed her head with a smile: "No." ”

"No? Madam, my leg is broken, don't you think about it? Shili had tears in his eyes, biting his lip, and clutching Chang Le's arm tightly. I felt that my legs were weak, and I was about to collapse to the ground.

When she met this kind of lady, she really wanted to defect.
