Chapter 63: Afternoon

"Big brother—big brother—" Shen Ji couldn't help but call out when he saw Lord Assassin Shi looking at the painting.

Shen Ye came back to his senses, looked at the second brother, and said indifferently: "This painting is good, it's good to keep it." ”

"The eldest brother doesn't ask how much silver the younger brother spent?" Shen Ji said with a smile while gently rolling up the painting.

Shen Ye had no choice but to ask, "How much money did the second brother spend to buy it?" ”

Shen Ji pretended to sigh, "Originally, it only cost ten taels of silver to buy it." I didn't expect a Cheng bite gold to come out in the middle of the road! It's just a tall and beautiful woman, Cheng bites gold-"

Shen Ye frowned slightly, and silently listened to the second brother's energetic narration.

The woman also liked the painting, and suggested that the highest price should be awarded, and I saw that her clothes were simple and plain, so I agreed to the bid. Sure enough, as I expected, within three rounds, the woman was shy, so the younger brother finally bought the painting for seventy taels of silver—" Shen Ji said with a little pride.

"Oh? And there are such interesting facts. Shen Ye chuckled, "Second brother, how do you know that the woman really wants to buy this painting?" ”

Shen Ji looked at the eldest brother puzzled, "Naturally, I like this painting so I bid with me-" Seeing the unpredictable smile on the eldest brother's face, his heart suddenly shuddered, and he asked hesitantly: "Isn't she with that Xiucai, and wants to pit my silver?" ”

Shen Ye said casually: "This situation cannot be ruled out. But it may also be that the woman saw that Liu Xiucai was downcast and wanted to help him earn more. ”

Shen Ji immediately threw the scroll he was holding on the table, and said unhappily: "I didn't expect to be cheated when I first came to Meizhou——"

Shen Ye saw that the second brother's expression was unswerving, and he had to comfort him: "The second brother also said that Liu Chengxu will become a big family in the future, and his paintings are indeed good, even if they are sold for a hundred taels." Why should you bother with these little things, and thus spoil your mood? ”

Shen Ji nodded when he heard this, knowing that the eldest brother was comforting himself, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, eldest brother, the younger brother is just a little unhappy in his heart, and he will wait a while." The woman looked good-looking, she should just want to help Liu Xiucai, but I just got up again, so I did a big deal, hey......"

Shen Ye's heart moved, and the ghost asked in a daze, "Do you know who that woman is?" ”

Shen Ji looked at the eldest brother suspiciously, he was not familiar with the life in Meizhou City, how did he know who the woman was, but he remembered, "When the younger brother was looking at the painting, he heard Liu Chengxu calling the woman...... Miss Xu. ”

Shen Ye's face sank when he heard this, and he slowly looked at the picture scroll on the table-

"Big brother knows that woman?" Shen Ji saw the change in his eldest brother's expression and immediately asked.

Shen Ye nodded and said in a deep voice, "I'll introduce you later." ”

Shen Ji suddenly stared at the eldest brother with interest, excited, "Could it be that Miss Xu is the eldest brother's sweetheart?" ”

You must know that the eldest brother will never talk about a woman with a surname in front of him, let alone introduce him to him!

Shen Ji looked at the excited gossip on the second brother's face expressionlessly, and said lightly: "Second brother, continue to eat!" I still have official business to deal with, so I won't talk with you. ”

Shen Ji saw that the eldest brother's expression was evasive, he avoided answering, and before he could ask a cliché, Lord Thorn Shi had already crossed his block, strode out of the door, and disappeared in a moment......

Shen Ji couldn't help laughing when he watched his eldest brother flee in the wilderness, and the unhappiness in Fang Cai's heart immediately disappeared. He picked up the scroll on the table, spun it around his fingertips, and walked out the door.

The little guy hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Young master, you haven't eaten yet1."

"Young Master Ben will take you down to the restaurant.1 Shen Ji said happily, threw the scroll behind him, and walked forward briskly.

The little guy hurriedly stepped forward to take the picture scroll thrown by the young master, and quickly chased after him with his head slightly lowered.

In the study, Lord Thorn continued to be busy in a pile of files.

Shen Yun had lunch, was leaning on the circle chair and resting with his eyes closed, and his ears kept ringing with the sound of "whoosh-" of the paper and books turning, and he couldn't fall asleep halfway, so he had to ask out loud: "Adults just had lunch, don't you take a nap?" I won't be able to finish reading this file for a while, so why should my lord be so anxious......"

Shen Ye listened to what Shen Yun said, and casually said "um", which was regarded as a response, and then continued to bury his head in the pages.

Shen Yun had no choice but to continue to endure the noise and take a nap on his own.

The afternoon sun poured into the room through the windows, shining on the piles of files that filled the room, and the disorganized bookcases were full of shadows......

Shen Ye's slender fingers quickly flipped through one after another water curtain paper that exuded the fragrance of ink, reflecting the sunlight and the texture was translucent. He stared at the bright and dark patterns and shadows under the paper in a daze, and his mind fluttered and he didn't know where to go......

Outside the window, a lark fluttered over the treetops, through the layers of branches and leaves, and let out a crisp and pleasant birdsong—

Lord Thorn came back to his senses abruptly, and looked out the window at the lush canopy of maple trees, where a small bird fluttered briskly from branch to branch......

"Ah Yun, go check on Liu Chengxu." Shen Ye suddenly put down the file in his hand and said loudly.

As soon as Shen Yun brewed a trace of sleepiness, he was shattered by the words of Lord Assassin Shi. Hearing what the lord said, his eyes were still closed, and he responded, "My subordinates have already investigated." Liu Chengxu is a down-and-out talent with no other background. ”

At the beginning, Young Master Li deliberately used Liu Xiucai's matter to stimulate adults, and he knew that adults were going to investigate the details, but it was only a matter of time. Anyway, he has been in a hurry lately, so he took the time to explore.

Shen Ye was slightly surprised, "You are more efficient now1

Shen Yun changed his sitting posture, and while continuing to brew sleep, he muttered in pieces: "Liu Chengxu, there is one in twenty this year, and he is from Liuzhou, and he has not yet married a wife." Guangming participated in the tribute in the fifteenth year of Guangming, but unfortunately fell behind. Later, he has been setting up a stall near the Chenghuang Temple in Xingyuan Mansion to sell paintings, and only sells one painting a day......"

Shen Ye listened silently, and when he saw him pause, he asked, "And then?" Why come to Meizhou? ”

Shen Yun almost fell asleep, and when he heard Lord Thorn Shi asking, he hurriedly continued: "Miss Xu met him by chance in Xingyuan Mansion, and she liked his painting skills very much, so she paid ten taels of silver every month to buy the patterns he painted. Later, Liu Xiucai's mother was seriously ill, so he rushed back to Liuzhou, and spent the night in Xu's mansion on the way, and Miss Xu gave him a bag of medicinal herbs......"

Lord Thorn Shi frowned, he actually spent the night in the Xu Mansion? She also gave medicinal herbs?

"When his mother's illness eased, Liu Xiucai took his mother to Meizhou City, rented a thatched house, and made a living by painting patterns for Xufu and selling paintings every day, and life was no longer too poor......

Shen Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and finally finished speaking, so he could squint for a while.

Shen Ye sat behind the desk, holding his forehead with his hand, looking at the mottled sun shadow on the bookcase, thoughtful......
