Chapter 325: The Secret of Xi Shi's Painting
Chapter 325 After Qin Xi saw the edict, he immediately smiled bitterly, and casually threw the edict on the ground.
Xiao He hurriedly picked it up and said, "Your Majesty handed over this matter to Your Highness, it seems that it is your Highness's trust and recognition of Your Highness's ability, why is Your Highness still sighing?" Xiao He also changed his name after knowing Qin Xi's identity.
Qin Xi spread out and said, "Do you see that there is a mention of money in the edict?" ”
"Nope." Xiao He said.
"Why didn't you mention the money, didn't you just ask me to pay? This is slaughtering me as a fat sheep, what a good calculation! Qin Xi gritted his teeth and said.
Xiao He also reacted immediately, and wanted to laugh in his heart, but he could only endure it, if he laughed, he didn't know what this Highness could do.
Qin Xi stood up helplessly and said, "If I pay the money, I will pay the money, see how I earn this money back!" Don't blush Lao Tzu when the time comes. ”
"What's wrong?" Bailu walked in at this time.
"It's nothing, it's just that my dad put it on the table. How's it going, have you found a place to live? Qin Xi asked.
"I found it, it was a house of the Fan family, which was originally bought for a lot of money, but in the end, the Fan family said that it was compensated to me, saying that it was the time when I occupied the Qinxi Chamber of Commerce, and the money I earned was just worth the money of the house."
"By the way, the Fan family returned all the technical information, I checked it, and nothing was lost." Bailu said.
"That's okay, let's go down and prepare to move, starting tomorrow, the Qinxi Chamber of Commerce will reopen." Qin Xi said.
"Okay, Yin Ya and I will handle this matter personally." Bailu nodded and said. Soon after, Qin Xi came to the house in a carriage.
This house is really good, built next to a lake, the area is also very large, and it already has the prototype of a Jiangnan garden.
"Childe, Fan Lin's wife asks to see you." Yin Ya walked over and said. Qin Xi frowned, what did Fan Lin's wife do when she came to find her?
"Let her come." Qin Xi said and sat directly on the steps of the pavilion by the lake, leisurely basking in the sun and enjoying the lake view.
"See Gongzi Qin." After being brought in, he immediately saluted Qin Xi. Qin Xi said without looking back: "I heard that Mrs. Wen has not changed her surname since marrying into the Fan family, my Mrs. Wen should be right." Mrs. Wen said: "Gongzi Qin, my husband confessed before he passed away that there is something to give to Gongzi, and I came today to give such a thing to Gongzi Qin." ”
"Drop it, you can go if there's nothing to do." Qin Xi said. Mrs. Wen saluted, and then left without saying a word.
Qin Xi turned his head to look at the box, which seemed to contain a short sword, or maybe it was something.
Bai Muxue walked over at this time, picked it up after seeing the box on the ground, and asked, "What is this?" ”
"What Fan Lin asked his wife to give me before he died, I don't know what it is." Qin Xi said.
Bai Muxue opened it directly and said, "It seems to be a painting." Bai Muxue took out the painting, opened it, and exclaimed: "This is a portrait of Xi Shi!" ”
"Portrait of Shih Tzu?" Qin Xi looked over suspiciously. Bai Muxue turned the painting to Qin Xi and said, "Look, it says Grandmother Xi Shi is written on it. However, Qin Xi didn't hear Bai Muxue's words at all, but lost consciousness, sitting there motionless and looking at the woman in the painting.
In Qin Xi's eyes, the woman in the painting seemed to be alive, dancing in the painting, while dancing, she slowly walked out of the painting, walked in front of Qin Xi, and then writhed in Qin Xi's arms.
"There's something wrong with this painting!" Bai Muxue scolded and put the painting away suddenly. Qin Xi also regained consciousness suddenly, and suddenly his whole body was sweating, and he felt like he had done a lot on the bed.
Qin Xi's face suddenly turned red because he felt a little hot underneath. Bai Muxue looked at the painting in her hand and said, "What a powerful means, the painting method of this flower and all the pigments and colors can actually make people fall into an illusion." Bai Muxue sniffed it, frowned and said: "And there is a medicinal herb used in this painting, which can make people gradually addicted, which is really a powerful means." Qin Xi sat there paralyzed and asked, "Is it really so powerful?" Bai Muxue glanced at Qin Xi and said, "Just look at your current appearance, you can't keep this painting, I'll burn it." ”
"Wait." Qin Xi stopped Bai Muxue.
"What's wrong? Do you really think that the Xi Shi in this painting can come out! Bai Muxue said a little angrily.
"Where do you want to go?" Qin Xi said: "When Wen Qi was arrested and begged for mercy, he told me a secret, the secret of this painting. I think the real purpose of Fan Lin in giving me this painting was to tell me that secret, and to make me ugly just casually. ”
"What's the secret in this painting?" Bai Muxue asked. Qin Xi stood up and said, "Wait until I go and change my clothes first, and I'll show you when the time comes." Bai Muxue was as white as Qin Xi, and then took the painting back into the box and left.
Qin Xi's face was embarrassed, he didn't expect to be so embarrassed by a painting, it was a shame to be thrown home.
After changing his clothes, Qin Xi came to the hall, only to see that the women were already waiting here, I don't know if they were weak-hearted, Qin Xi felt that they were laughing at themselves when they looked at him.
Bai Muxue opened the painting, spread it on the table, then looked at Qin Xi and said, "Come on, what is the secret here, we are all curious." Qin Xi looked at Bai Muxue like this, if he didn't reveal the secret, he would probably make himself look good.
Qin Xi stretched out his hand to Bai Muxue and said, "Give me the dagger." Bai Muxue stretched out her hand and handed the white jade dagger to Qin Xi without the slightest hesitation.
Qin Xi took the dagger, took a deep breath, then lifted the corner of the painting and carefully cut the painting with the dagger.
When there is no paper, the paintings are all painted on canvas, and most of the canvases are thick sheets, and it is easier to separate them than paper.
Soon, under Qin Xi's manipulation, the painting was quickly separated, and pieces of medicinal residue fell out of it.
Bai Muxue picked it up and sniffed it, and said: "It turns out that there is not a problem with the paint, but that these medicinal materials are hidden in this painting, which have an antiseptic effect and a hallucinogenic effect, plus the beauty of Xi Shi in the painting, few men in the world can stop it." Qin Xi coughed awkwardly and said, "Look at this painting in my hand." As Qin Xi deducted the dregs from the above, a structural drawing appeared on the canvas.
"What is this? It seems to be a result diagram of a palace, no! It's a tomb! Bailu exclaimed.
"That's right, this is the structural diagram of the tomb of King Goujian of Yue!" Qin Xi said and put the painting on the table.
Qin Xi said: "Unexpectedly, after Fan Li abandoned politics and business, he also helped Gou Jian build the king's tomb. ”
"What's the use of this secret, do you want us to dig up the tomb of King Goujian of Yue, it's too lacking in virtue." Bailu said.
Qin Xi rolled up the painting and said: "It is said that there are countless gold and silver in the tomb of King Yue, as well as the peerless sword at that time, the Goujian sword, which will indeed make many people salivate. Fan Lin is afraid that I will not let go of the Fan family if I die, so I want to use this to save the Fan family again, after all, in his opinion, I am also a businessman. Qin Xi put away the two paintings and threw the painting of the tomb of King Goujian into the furnace, while the portrait of Xi Shi was put back in the box.
"You want to keep this Shih Tzu painting?" Bai Muxue frowned and asked.
"What do you think, this is the old grandmother of the Fan family after all." Qin Xi said to Yin Ya: "Tomorrow, ask the old man to send this painting back, and say that the demon in the painting has gone, so let's worship it with peace of mind." ”
