Song Qian wanted to take the painting back from Zhao Liuyin's hands, but he didn't want the other party to hold it tightly, so he didn't have the slightest intention of returning it to her.

Because he was afraid of ruining the painting during the competition, Song Qian could only withdraw his hand, but he still reminded Zhao Liuyin verbally: "Miss Zhao, the folk girl still has something to do, and she has been urging her for a long time. If nothing happens, the folk girl will leave with the painting."

The last sentence also deliberately accentuated the tone, reminding Zhao Liuyin to pay attention to proportion.

The other party really sensed Song Qian's meaning, and a little displeasure flashed in his eyes, and then handed the scroll to Hongyin.

Hongyin understood Zhao Liuyin's meaning, and under Song Qian's gaze, he rolled up the scroll roughly, and then stuffed it back into Song Qian's arms.

The action seems to say: what's the big deal, broken things can't be put on the table for fear of being seen by others.

Song Qian hurriedly checked the scroll, but fortunately it was not damaged, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

When Zhao Liuyin raised his eyes, he was thrown by Song Qian, with a little anger and warning, and he looked away with some weakness and continued to ask his question: "Song Niangzi, do you know Master Zi Sangchuan, a master of calligraphy and painting from the imperial capital? I think the technique of this painting is very similar to that of Master Shikurogawa, so I guess the master of this painting is also a famous person, right?"

Seeing that Zhao Liuyin's true purpose was revealed, after these few dealings, Song Qian knew her temperament, and didn't want to let her know about the things she had seen Master Zi Sangchuan, otherwise it would easily become trouble.

So she pretended not to know anything, shook her head and replied, "Who is this Miss Zhao talking about? Since you said that he is from the imperial capital, how can the people know each other if they have lived in this small town since childhood?"

Zhao Liuyin originally suspected that Song Qian said this to guard against himself and deliberately not let himself know. But after listening to her next words, it was very agreeable, and I felt that it was normal for Song Qian's identity not to know this.

The displeasure on her face dissipated somewhat.

Knowing Song Qian's strict mouth, if he didn't want to say anything, he would definitely not be able to ask. Zhao Liuyin can't do anything about her here, so she can only let people go.

Song Qian, who was finally able to get out, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bowed slightly and said, "The folk girl will retire first, and Miss Zhao will have a smooth journey." After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry, for fear that Zhao Liuyin would return and continue to let her stay.

Hongyin looked at Song Qian's back, pursed her lips and said, "Miss, Hongyin doesn't see that Song Qian doesn't take you seriously at all."

"Give her a few guts, she won't dare to do this, okay, don't waste time here, Master Zi Sangchuan must be here, let's go quickly." Zhao Liuyin was a little irritable with Hongyin's words, and after pushing her away from her, she got into the carriage alone.

Seeing this, the frightened coachman hurriedly trotted after him, and said flatteringly, "Miss, slow down."

It's a pity that Zhao Liuyin doesn't care about him at all.

It's not the first time that Hongyin has been treated like this, maybe it's commonplace, so he spat out and followed.

The carriage soon passed through the forest and came to the bamboo forest.

"Miss, the path in this bamboo forest is too narrow for the carriage to pass, so you have to come down and walk." The coachman stopped the carriage and cautiously lifted the curtain as he spoke.

Zhao Liuyin sighed helplessly, but finally accepted the reality and got out of the carriage with Hongyin's support.

Looking at the rugged dirt road full of stones, Zhao Liuyin was very dissatisfied and said, "Why is this place like this? Sure enough, it's a wild forest." She didn't understand why someone of Zi Sangchuan's status would come here.

Hongyin didn't dare to speak much, so she could only silently kick away the stones in front of Zhao Liuyin, afraid that she would accidentally stumble and blame herself.

If it weren't for the blessing of the Queen Mother's decree, she wouldn't have lowered her status and wasted time here. Zhao Liuyin thought so, and walked on the dirt road reluctantly.

Finally came to Zisangchuan's house, Zhao Liuyin pushed Hongyin forward and urged her: "Go knock on the door, don't waste time."

Hongyin could only walk forward quickly and knocked on the door.

The little scholar who was sweeping the floor in the yard was a little strange when he heard the knock on the door, why are there so many people visiting today?

He put down the broom, stepped forward and opened the door, poked his head out to look around, and when he saw Hongyin's figure, he asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"This little gentleman, we are here to visit Master Zisangchuan. Could you please inform us of the Master and let us meet him?" Hongyin glanced at Zhao Liuyin, who was not far away, and said the purpose of this trip.

Originally, the little scholar didn't want them to come in, but thinking of Song Qian's incident before, Zi Sangchuan opened the door to his teachings, beckoned to the two of them, and said, "Please two come in first, wait, I'll go and inform my husband, and I'll tell you if I have a letter."

Zhao Liuyin and Hongyin didn't expect to come in so easily, because it was rumored that Master Zi Sangchuan had an eccentric temper and didn't deal with people much on weekdays.

Could it be that I heard that they came to pray for the Queen Mother's blessing, and they deliberately wanted to please them before letting them in.

Thinking like this, Zhao Liuyin couldn't help but secretly feel proud, feeling that his identity was noble, thousands of times stronger than Song Qian. Look at the book

So he strode into the courtyard.

The little scholar couldn't help but scold when he saw this scene, it seems that this time he is not a good stubble, and it must be difficult to deal with.

So the pace under his feet quickened a lot, and he hurried to the backyard, and hurriedly found Zi Sangchuan who was drinking tea in a rocking chair.

"Do what? Didn't I tell you that you have to deal with everything calmly?" Zi Sangchuan put down the teacup and didn't realize what was about to happen in the slightest.

The little scholar still looked anxious, and said bluntly, "Sir, a lady has come and wants to see you."

"If you want to see me, why are you so flustered? Could it be that they are still from the Imperial Palace?" Zisang Chuan slowly got up as he spoke, followed the little scholar through the backyard to the front hall, and saw Zhao Liuyin who was waiting for tea.

When he saw her eyebrows clearly, Zi Sangchuan was taken aback. He looked at it carefully, and felt that this face was very familiar, as if he had seen it in the imperial capital before.

He remembered what he had just said, and sighed helplessly.

"This lady, are you looking for me?" There was no way, even if he didn't want to be involved with the people in the imperial capital anymore, he still stepped forward and asked.

Zhao Liuyin hurriedly got up and stepped forward with a smile: "Presumably you are Master Zisangchuan, right?" I hear your name on weekdays, but today I see that it is truly extraordinary."

Listening to the hypocritical praise, Zi Sangchuan was a little uncomfortable.

It seems that she is no different from those powerful people who come to admire her.

"The lady is serious, the old man has no ability, and he can't afford the name of a master. The old man looked at the lady a little familiar, but she came from the imperial capital?" Zi Sangchuan verified.

Zhao Liuyin misunderstood the meaning, thinking that Zi Sangchuan asked about his identity in order to please himself, but he thought that he was coming at the will of the Queen Mother and could not be too high-profile, so he said cryptically: "What the master said is right, the little girl is from the imperial capital, maybe we met it when you were still in the imperial capital."

The meaning of the words is faintly implicit.

Zi Sangchuan naturally heard it, but he still pretended to be stupid and said, "I see, that's really a coincidence. Miss Zhao came this time, could it be that she came to catch up with the old decay?" He said with a score.

Zhao Liuyin hurriedly denied it and said his purpose: "Master, the little girl came here this time to ask you for a painting. This painting is very important to the little girl, I wonder if you can agree to it?"

Sure enough, for this purpose, the little scholar slandered.

He looked at Zi Sangchuan and didn't know what he was going to do.

Zi Sangchuan looked like he had expected it early, looked at Zhao Liuyin's expectant appearance and replied, "This lady, I'm afraid that the old man can't agree to your request."

"Why is that, Master?"

Zhao Liuyin suddenly became anxious, she thought that she didn't find out her identity and made Zi Sangchuan mistakenly think that she was a rural village woman.

Zi Sangchuan explained: "Lady, it's not that I'm old and I have a high vision, it's that I have a rule. This year only

Make a painting and give it to one person, and today the old man has already sent out a painting, so I can't promise you. You can't let the old decay break the rules, right?"

When Zhao Liuyin heard this, the expression on his face suddenly became difficult to see.

After Zi Sangchuan said this, he turned around and left, not wanting to say anything more. The little scholar was very sensible, and hurriedly stopped Zhao Liuyin, who wanted to keep up and fight again.

Seeing that a little scholar dared to stop him, Zhao Liuyin suddenly became dissatisfied, but he could only swallow this breath when he thought that he was begging someone to do something.

"Lady, I'll send you out. My husband has said that he can't break the rules, so it's useless for you to wait here, so it's better to go back early. There are wild beasts in this forest at night, and it will not be good when something happens, don't you say?" As he spoke, the little scholar made a gesture to drive them out.

Zhao Liuyin and Hongyin reluctantly left the front hall, and after coming to the courtyard, Zhao Liuyin stopped and stuffed his bracelet into the little scholar's arms, wanting to prove his thoughts: "This little gentleman, may I ask if the person who sent the master's message is a lady?" He who came today."

The little scholar stuffed the bracelet back in fear: "What are you doing here? If the gentleman had found out, I would have gone away without eating." According to Zi Sangchuan's usual teachings, even if he was given a few guts, he would not dare to take the things of the guests.

Knowing that if he didn't say it, they would be entangled to the end, so the little scholar had no choice but to say, "It is indeed a lady who came here today, and my husband has indeed painted a picture for her."

"And how did this lady get her hands on the painting?"

Sure enough, Zhao Liuyin thought well, and today I saw that the painting in Song Qian's hand was indeed given by Zi Sangchuan, remembering that she had deceived herself, Zhao Liuyin was angry, and secretly vowed to make Song Qian look good.

But at the same time, she is also very strange, how could the identity of Song Qian's rural village woman make Zi Sangchuan willingly give her a painting?

After the little scholar knew that Zi Sangchuan was not here, he said with confidence: "Maybe that lady heard that my husband likes food, so she made a delicacy called bamboo tube barbecue outside, which attracted my husband, and my husband was coaxed into being happy, and he thought that he fell in love with her and sent her a painting."

Sure enough, he used means, and she thought well, Song Qian is a cunning person who can do anything for the end. In this way, Zhao Liuyin's dissatisfaction and hatred for her became even stronger.

The little scholar also felt that he was talking too much, so he urged the two of them and said, "This lady, you better leave quickly. Don't wait for my husband to come out, and then blame me, right? Don't embarrass me."

Zhao Liuyin had no reason to be here anymore, so he had to leave with Hongyin.

Sensing Zhao Liuyin's anger, Hongyin was afraid that she would be impulsive, so she comforted, "Miss, this Song Qian is too much, but don't be angry."
