Chapter 161: Interrogation
Mama Lin understood, and immediately thanked Gu Yanning again and again, and praised him for his superb painting skills: "The eye is on the spot, and the son is talented." ”
Gu Yanning snorted lightly and said lazily: "You can be regarded as finding the right person, not to mention in the capital...... That is, looking at the Great Zhou, if you talk about the skill of painting Xiao Xiang, I call it the second, and no one dares to call it the first ......"
He took a cup of tea smugly, and Mama Lin smiled and complimented him a few words.
The two of them came and went, and Jin Nian gradually calmed down.
She asked Gu Yanning, "Fifth Brother Gu often walks around, but in which mansion has he ever seen, or in your mansion, have you ever seen Mama Lin's sister or a similar person?" ”
Gu Yanning was extremely comfortable to be flattered, and when he heard this, he really thought carefully for a moment, and replied: "...... Sister Nian asked the right person, my eyes as a painter, I can't forget it! ”
He took a sip of tea, Jin Nian's heart rose to his throat, and he pinched his palms and waited for him to continue.
Gu Yanning put down the teacup and said leisurely: "I only remember the appearance of the beauty, as for the mother-in-law...... She looks so hateful, how can I remember her? He looked at Mama Lin and said, "Of course, Mama Lin is quite pleasing to the eye." ”
Jin Nian was annoyed and a little crying and laughing, if she asked again, I was afraid that Gu Yanning would still be able to pull out a bunch of nonsense.
She set her eyes on the sand spring standing aside.
Sha Quan was also blushing at this time and didn't laugh. Seeing Jin Nian looking at him, he coughed lightly a few times before he said, "I know the mother-in-law in all the courtyards of our house, and I haven't seen anyone similar to this." Other Places,...... I've traveled north and south with the young master for a few years, but I've never met anyone like that......"
That means that the mother-in-law is not someone sent by Gu Yanyi......
At least not yet!
For no reason, Jin Nian secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The corner of his eye swept the hourglass on the side of the coffee table, and most of the fine sand had fallen, and noon had passed.
She instructed Mama Lin to put away the portrait: "...... It's been a long time since we've been out today, and it's time for us to go home. ”
Mama Lin nodded, and reached out to roll the painting on the table from the bottom up.
In the sloping ground, a slender hand suddenly stretched out.
Gu Yanyi stopped Mama Lin from collecting the painting, and picked up the portrait casually.
The portrait was sandwiched between his knobred fingers, floating in mid-air, slipping or cracking at any moment.
Jin Nian's heart hung high, for fear that the portrait would be accepted by Gu Yanyi. After the portrait was completed, he never said a word from beginning to end, even when Gu Yanning didn't cover his mouth, he just stood quietly aside, and even had nothing to do with himself and watched coldly.
Who knew that when the portrait was about to arrive, he acted like this again, Jin Nian's originally relaxed heart suddenly became vigilant again, and his gaze at Gu Yanyi was unconsciously stained with a layer of anger.
Gu Yanyi avoided her gaze and said softly, "There are some things that I want to talk to you about alone." ”
His gaze swept around the people in the tea room, indifferent but irresistible.
The meaning is obvious.
Gu Yanning raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jin Nian, with a smile on his face, he got up and walked straight out of the tea room.
Shaquan followed closely behind.
Du Juan and Mama Lin didn't move, standing beside Jin Nian on the left and right, waiting for her instructions.
Jin Nian looked at Gu Yanyi, he was looking at the portrait on the portrait, his head was slightly lowered, his long eyelashes were slightly raised, and he was standing motionless.
She couldn't see the look on his face, but the knuckles of the fingers he pinched the portrait were distinct and powerful!
Jin Nian knew that he couldn't take back the portrait from him at all!
Mama Lin and Du Juan stared at her with all four eyes. 58 reading
Jin Nian withdrew her gaze from Gu Yanyi, and waved her head to signal Mama Lin and the two to wait for her outside. Sideways and whispered to the cuckoo: "Let Mama Gong carefully move in the room, as long as there is any movement inside, tell her to break into the door immediately." ”
The cuckoo nodded when she heard this, but Mama Lin saw that she wanted to stay, but she didn't approve of it.
Jin Nian shook her head, she knew what Mama Lin was worried about.
But she knows a little bit of Gu Yanyi's temperament. In his previous life, although they were both engaged, when the two met alone, he never had Meng Lang's behavior, at most he gently stroked her head.
Now, there are crowds of people outside the teahouse, and Jin Nian believes that he will not make any trespassing, not to mention that Mama Gong also has kung fu, which has another layer of protection.
Seeing that Jin Nian insisted, Mama Lin had no choice but to follow Du Juan out of the door.
Gu Yanyi had already sat down at the coffee table, and took a sip of tea with a blank face, the tea was cold, and his mouth was slightly jerky, just like his mood at the moment.
He has learned martial arts since he was a child, and his ear is sharper than others. It's been more than a year, and she still hasn't let down her guard against herself after all, although the two have experienced life and death together.
In the midst of his troubled thoughts, Jin Nian sat down opposite him and asked, "I don't know what the fourth brother commands?" ”
Her face sank like water, and her black and white eyes stared at him, as if she didn't want to miss any of his expressions.
Gu Yanyi sighed in her heart, no matter how bad she treated herself, she couldn't bear to criticize her for half a point after all.
Laughing at herself, Gu Yanyi casually picked up the silver charcoal beside her and put it into the tea stove, and a small spark immediately picked up in the furnace: "The one on the portrait is really Mama Lin's sister?" ”
Jin Nian frowned slightly, isn't it obvious?
Before she could answer, she was afraid that it would just be a casual question before he got to the point, and if she was silent, she would inevitably seem deliberate again, and it would be self-defeating.
Thinking like this, Jin Nian said coldly "um" as an answer.
Gu Yanyi nodded, and said, "What year was it lost?" ”
Jin Nian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that what Gu Yanyi wanted to talk to her about was about that mother-in-law! With her understanding of Gu Yanyi, he would never spend his energy on those insignificant personnel.
She also thought that Gu Yanyi was polite to her when she talked about the portrait, so as to ease the unhappy atmosphere between the two!
Now, since he asked, could it be that he found something suspicious?
Jin Nian's heart skipped a beat, and his mind quickly recalled everything that happened in the Shicai Tearoom, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it......
She felt a little at ease.
But Gu Yanyi is cautious, so he has to end this topic quickly!
Jin Nian lowered his eyes and replied impatiently: "Yonghe was separated in the fourteenth year, sixteen years ago. This is the tone she had with Mama Lin before.
After speaking, he said, "Is Fourth Brother Gu finished?" When you're done, return the portrait to me. ”
She hoped that her indifferent attitude would make Gu Yanyi stop there.
Gu Yanyi suddenly spread the portrait on the coffee table: "Sixteen years ago...... It turns out that the sixth sister has never seen that mother-in-law! ”
Jin Nian felt that his tone was very strange, and was about to ask him again if he wanted to return the portrait, but saw Gu Yanyi beckoning to her: "Come here." ”
Do?
Jin Nian sat still.
Gu Yanyi sighed, turned the portrait upside down to Jin Nian, and got up and walked to her side.
Jin Nian didn't know why, and looked at the portrait.
"Since the sixth sister doesn't know her...... Gu Yanyi knocked on the portrait with her hand, and said with a straight face, "Why are you more concerned than Mama Lin?" Do you know what that woman looks like better than Mama Lin? Tell me, who is that woman? ”
