Shen Jiamu didn't have a clear thought, he just asked Xu Qingsheng to pay attention to anything unusual in her world, it was best to share the situation in that world with him, and it would be safer for the two to analyze together, Xu Qingsheng also felt that Shen Jiamu's analysis could prevent missing clues, and she promised to do her best and hide it without concealment.

In the next few days, Xu Qingsheng finally had time to use these eight hours to accumulate sketches.

Shen Jiamu also made some attempts, such as at five o'clock in the morning, he would stand near the mansion in a place that was inaccessible and could not be covered by the camera, Xu Qingsheng's initial foothold when he crossed was still in the mansion, but he would immediately "teleport" to Shen Jiamu's side.

The law of crossing is based on the mansion, if Shen Jiamu is in the mansion, Qingsheng will directly travel to him, but Shen Jiamu is not in the mansion, Qingsheng will go to the mansion Shen Jiamu's bedroom first and teleport accordingly.

After a few days of crossing, Xu Qingsheng seems to be gradually getting used to this kind of life.

One day she also gossiped: "Doesn't Officer Shen have to go to the Special Bureau to sit on duty?" ”

"Generally not, unless it is necessary to go to the bureau, and thanks to this, it won't take long for your identity to be revealed, my country has designated the crossing incident as a special secret incident, and people like you must be controlled, although, no one can stop you from crossing back to your world at three o'clock in the afternoon, but you don't have to think about free movement during the eight hours you are here."

Losing freedom is a terrible thing, and Xu Qingsheng also feels that he is very lucky.

On February 14, the opening ceremony of the Valentine's Day art exhibition was scheduled for 5 p.m., which was also fortunate because it would not be delayed by the crossing.

Xu Qingsheng actually does not have the ability to open an exhibition on her own, she is a little sister of several host painters today, the reason why the exhibition is set on Valentine's Day is because their teacher happens to be on Valentine's Day's birthday, the teacher has passed away, and the students are scheduled to hold a ceremony today in order to commemorate.

The senior brothers took care of Qingsheng very much, and specially asked her to give a speech, and the senior brother also recommended to the invited guests: "Qingsheng can be said to be the teacher's closed disciple, when Qingsheng was only eleven years old, he was praised by the teacher for his high talent, you don't see that she is still young now, to talk about figure painting, it is difficult for us to reach her level, although she only got three years of guidance from the teacher, but the teacher even said that our little sister will be able to create a unique style of painting in the future." ”

Qingsheng was praised and blushed a little, she was actually very unsuitable for this kind of occasion and entertainment.

Finding an opportunity, she avoided the VIPs and industry masters and gossiped with Mo Bu and Jona.

"Qingsheng, you really surprised me, Elder Qi is actually your senior brother, and he appreciates you so much, why haven't I heard you say it before?"

"Qingsheng's grandfather and Ding Lao are friends, Qingsheng's grandfather is just because he doesn't want fame and fortune, so he is not as famous as Ding Lao, but Ding Lao appreciates Qingsheng very much, Qi Lao is a student of Ding Lao, can you not appreciate Qingsheng?" Mo Bu smiled: "She, she doesn't like to show off, and she lives too modestly." ”

"I can only make a living by serializing comics now, and I don't have anything to show off." Xu Qingsheng said: "We are not majoring in painting, so there is nothing to say about these things, I am not as good as Nana, at least you are now in the right major." ”

"If you want to, are you afraid that you won't be able to say the right thing?" Qiao Na pushed Qingsheng as she spoke: "Look, it seems that Qi Lao is going to introduce someone to you again, you can go quickly, this is a rare and good opportunity." ”

"We also go upstairs to admire and appreciate the paintings, or we don't just eat and drink here, it seems that there is no artistic temperament at all." Mo Bu put down his wine glass.

Qingsheng glanced at him: "You drink?" ”

"Don't dare to drink, it's coke." Mo Bei chuckled: "I'm here to cheer, and if I drink, I'll smash the scene." ”

He watched Qingsheng walk in the direction of Qi Lao, and then looked down at Qiao Na's arm, frowning slightly: "I just found out that this chain in your hand ......"

"I saw that Qingsheng had one, so I went to buy one that was exactly the same."

"She doesn't often carry it."

"I turned it out of her drawer one day, and I went back to Lu Ziyou to get married, I made an appointment with Qingsheng to go together, I went to pick her up, and saw that she was dressed too casually, so I dressed her again, I saw this bracelet, although it is not a limited edition of flowing gold, but this series is also very popular, although the price is not cheap...... I was so excited to read the actual version at the time that I also bought one. ”

Mo Bu didn't speak again.

Xu Qingsheng's bracelet was a birthday gift he gave her, Qingsheng refused to accept it at first, or heard him say that he bought it on Taobao, it was not too expensive, so he was forced to accept it by him with both hard and soft methods, why did he give Qingsheng such a bracelet? That's because at a class reunion, a female classmate sneered and said that Qingsheng had a string of worthless "broken stones" in his hands, he listened to the flatulence, and Xu Qingsheng didn't understand the woman's ridicule, and he didn't want to lose his temper on the spot to embarrass Qingsheng.

Later, I bought such a bracelet.

But Qingsheng didn't bring it much, he asked the reason, and she really said that she didn't like metal jewelry.

Mo Bu didn't know if Qingsheng had told Jona about the origin of the bracelet, and whether Joanna would think about anything else.

This matter had to be pressed first.

Above the second floor is the formal exhibition hall, and now there are many people looking at the paintings, Mo Bu stood in front of a painting, which is an ancient style lady painting, entitled Xiaoxiang Concubine of the Red Mansion, this painting is Mo Bu once watched Qing Sheng complete, as an old friend who came to hold people's heads, he planned to buy this painting.

Don't give a slight signal, and a service staff will come over immediately.

The paintings are not clearly priced, and the service staff needs to quote them.

"The angle of this portrait of Daiyu is unique, and the painter's brushwork is also wonderful, which is worth starting." Another man, after listening to the offer, even said.

"We inquired first." Jona hurriedly interjected.

"Two gentlemen, the exhibition is entrusted with an auction house, if the two gentlemen are interested in bidding, please move to the VIP reception room over there later." The service staff hastened to mediate.

"Then let's bid." Qiao Na said: "Although Daiyu is sentimental, I like Daiyu the most among the twelve hairpins in Jinling, not to mention that this is still painted by Qingsheng himself, you take a picture, even if it is a Valentine's Day gift for me." ”

"Sentimental?" The man smiled, "The reason why this portrait is unique is precisely because it depicts Daiyu's joy." ”

Mo Bu could not see the joy of the characters in the paintings, and he asked, "What do you say?" ”

"Although the figure in this portrait is not smiling, his eyes are shining and there is no sadness."

"If you have tears in your eyes, it can also be reflected in the brightness in your eyes." Jona was not convinced.

"Oh, so you can't tell the difference between tears and pleasure."

"Everyone has their own understanding of the painting, who can tell the difference between right and wrong?" Jona was a little angry: "Mobe, let's bid." ”

Mo Bu ignored it and continued to ask: "You really think that Daiyu on this portrait is happy in her heart, and I want to hear more of your opinions." ”

"The flower on the painting is begonia, and the title is Concubine Xiaoxiang of the Red Mansion, and the alias of Concubine Daiyu Xiaoxiang was drawn up on the day of the Begonia Poetry Society, so the situation in the painting is the Day of the Begonia Society, and the people who participated in the Poetry Society on that day were very interested, especially Daiyu."

"Taught." Mo Bei smiled: "I believe that the painter also prefers that her paintings can be stored by people who really appreciate them." ”

He retreated, and Jona was a little frustrated, but she didn't lose her temper again, and after a while, she smiled and said, "Then choose another one and give it to me." ”

"You don't like figure paintings, why do you have to make Qingsheng's paintings as Valentine's Day gifts? I've got your gift ready, I'll give it to you later. ”

"Didn't you say that you came to cheer for Qingsheng?"

Mo Bei took out his mobile phone and flipped out the circle of friends that Qiao Na had just posted: "You started showing off just now, you want a painting of Qingsheng to continue to show off, right?" ”

"I'm also here to help Qingsheng promote ......"

"Do you have Qingsheng's consent? And you just claimed to be Qingsheng's college classmate, looking for Qi Lao and them to add WeChat friends, I am very disgusted by this behavior. ”

"But the nature of my job, after all, it's good to know some well-known people."

"It's not that I don't understand your thoughts, but I think I should tell you directly, I will never add a friend's WeChat without permission, I don't like this kind of behavior, and I won't show off other people's achievements, I don't want to force you to change, but I will be unhappy with your way of behavior."

"I change it, I change it, can't I change it?" Jona smiled and tightened her grip on Mobe's arm.

This exhibition lasts for a week, Qingsheng does not have to go to the exhibition every day, she does not have a very optimistic attitude towards the economic benefits brought by the exhibition, the real environment is that the commercial value of the painting is directly linked to the fame of the painter, she does not have the idea of hyping fame, of course, she does not know the essentials, she just hopes that she can persevere in this hobby, maybe in the future she can open a painting shop, dedicated to painting the characters in her heart.

But to Xu Qing's business expectations, the income of the art exhibition exceeded her estimates.

She also understands that this depends on the support of her senior brothers, and although she can't help it, she has no choice but to appreciate it now.

She immediately transferred the full amount of 20,000 yuan to Xu Zhiran, and then sent him a message: Mr. Xu, I have paid off the debt in full, please confirm.

It didn't take long for the voice to dial, and Qingsheng hesitated with his mobile phone, but still answered.

"Qingsheng, are you still in Shenjiang now?"

"Mr. Xu, this matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with the end of our debt relationship, right?"

"I'm your dad after all!"

"Understood, I will continue to pay you alimony."

"Qingsheng! I made it clear back then, I can afford your tuition and living expenses, but you didn't ask me for money at that time, it was not for yourself, but for your mother...... I don't want to have anything to do with your mom anymore, and now that you've paid it back, I don't think it's going to have anything to do with your mom when we get back to work. ”

Qingsheng suddenly wanted to laugh, but she felt that her face was cold, and her muscle expression seemed to be temporarily out of order.

"Mr. Xu, you have a new family and a new life, since you are in a hurry to break up with me and my mother, is it necessary for us to resume contact? I have only a maintenance obligation between me and you, which I will remember to fulfill, and I ask you to reply to my message clearly and admit that the money I owe you has been paid in full. ”

She hung up the phone, lost the phone, and some cold memories suddenly popped up, uncontrollably rampage through her mind.

It was when she had just graduated from high school, her mother was hospitalized for a heart attack, and her condition was extremely critical and needed immediate surgery, but she had spent all her savings because of an accident, and Qingsheng really couldn't afford her mother's surgery, so she could only ask her father for help, at that time, she was at least willing to call Mr. Xu Dad.

Mr. Xu told her coldly: "I am willing to bear your tuition and living expenses, but your mother's affairs have long been irrelevant to me, isn't she running a flower garden?" Sell the flower bed, and the medical expenses should be enough. ”

It's a mother's flower garden, and how can you sell real estate so quickly?

Xu Qingsheng begged: "Even if I borrow money, you lend me the money first, I will write an IOU, and I promise to pay it off with interest." ”

"No, I can't watch your mother drag you down."

"She is my family, a relative, how can she be a drag on me?"

"Qingsheng, you have to be considerate of me, your mother is so annoying, I don't want to have anything to do with her anymore."

That summer was a season of despair for Xu Qingsheng.

Later, Mo Bei ran to find Xu Zhiran, I don't know how to persuade Xu Zhiran to agree to borrow, Xu Zhiran didn't even want to contact her again, the money was transferred by Mo Be, and asked her to write an IOU and hand it to Mo Be, there is an additional clause on the IOU - Xu Qingsheng promised for her biological mother Ji Fujun that she would not continue to pester Mr. Xu Zhiran under any pretext in the future.

Only Mo Bu accompanied her to stand in the empty corridor outside the operating room and waited, at that time Qingsheng didn't know if all her efforts would be in vain, the operation fee was raised, but her mother was still uncertain.

Thankfully, it turned out to be good.
