Chapter 017: Out of place
"Study?" Xie Zhan asked, turning his eyes to look at Fu Xuan. Is she going to ask him to buy books?
"My third cousin opened a new one, and it will open the day after tomorrow. If you could be there...... I think it's going to be a bit more lively. Fu Xuan returned.
Oh, that's the purpose.
This is to ask him to prop up the façade.
Xie Zhan laughed softly, not knowing whether to laugh at her for the "pure" purpose of this visit, or to laugh at herself for thinking too much.
"Can you make two more pictures, or write two more words?" Fu Xuan asked inch by inch.
Two?
As the first person in Daliang Fenghua, who doesn't know Xie Changheng's words? As soon as she opened her mouth, she asked him for two calligraphy and paintings.
"You're going to sell it?" Xie Zhan asked jokingly.
Fu Xuan's eyes lit up, "Can you still sell it?" ”
Xie Zhan: "......"
"I was going to just make a hanging painting, but you reminded me." Fu Xuan said with some longing.
Looking at each other, Xie Zhan was stunned.
Alerted her? It's really ...... When his calligraphy and painting are the way to make a fortune?
How could she forget, she was already fond of money, and I heard that Xie Yuan moved tens of thousands of baht to Fufu, maybe the study was still opened with Xie Yuan's money.
Thinking of Xie Yuan, under the flying flowers of the apricot tree, the scene of the two talking and laughing and being intimate resurfaced in front of him, Xie Zhan's mood suddenly disappeared, and he clenched his fingers hard.
"What do you exchange for?" He asked.
There is nothing in the world to give what she wants, Fu Xuan knows that Xie Zhan will not give it to her for nothing, and she has no intention of asking for it in vain.
She suggested with some expectation: "I am not very good at poetry, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but I can play the piano, wine, dance, and flowers." Why don't you do two dances? The most popular dance in Jingzhou, I danced very well, and my brothers used to praise it. ”
Xie Zhan breathed and laughed angrily again.
Listening to music and dancing has always been the preference of people on the Fengyue field, she can't do it, when he is a free guest who is addicted to fun, when she is a girl who sells art in the land of fireworks?
Brothers often boast? That's how often they jump. This posture ...... Writhing in front of them?
His deep eyes narrowed, and he examined the person in front of him.
The style of doing things, interests and hobbies are all incompatible with the style of the Xie family.
He also thought that it would be best to convince his parents that he would not marry again and save trouble. But how can she convince people that she can set rules when she acts so recklessly? How can you manage this huge and complex Xie clan?
Xie Zhan felt irritable again, and he didn't want to talk about it anymore, he crossed Fu Xuan and was about to walk inside, and spit out a cold "No need." ”
"And what do you want?"
Fu Xuan eagerly grabbed his wide sleeve again.
Xie Zhan said lightly: "I don't want anything from you, my calligraphy and paintings are never given away." ”
Fu Xuan asked rhetorically: "But didn't you give me one before?" ”
"I didn't give it away. Although I made the painting, I don't know who gave it to me. Xie Zhan replied honestly.
The eyes of the person in front of him were cold, his expression was indifferent, like the pine covered by the clouds and mountains at the end of his robe, tall and straight, but standing proudly on the peak of the cliff, not tasting the fireworks of the world, and not touching by ordinary people, let alone the wood that no one relied on.
Yes, that's the real him.
How can you please her and send her a beautiful painting?
Suddenly, Fu Xuan's hand holding Xie Zhan's sleeve was instantly withdrawn, and it seemed that he had just reacted, and what he had just grabbed was a burning flame.
She returned to the distance from him across the mountain and the sea, a polite smirk on her face.
"In that case, then the pawn will be returned to the original owner, and the painting, I will send someone to send it back to Gongzi Xie as soon as possible. I bothered Gongzi Xie today, I'm sorry, I'm leaving. ”
**
Fu Xuan has always been decisive and does what she says.
Within a stick of incense, Xie Zhan received the 'Danting Spring Rhyme' he made, which should have been sent by her to send someone over as soon as she returned to her home.
In the study.
Xie Zhan stared at the picture scroll on the desk where someone had added an extra brocade box, and the folding fan with the residual fragrance, and didn't know what to do with it for a while.
This month, at first, he was not used to not having a folding fan in his hand, his body was controlled by instinct, and when he reached out but grabbed the air, he always remembered that Qiao Xiaoran, and a strange look flashed several times in his heart, but in the end he was still used to it.
Now, she is returning it to him, but in his heart, strangely, there is no trace of joy that has been lost and regained.
Not so for this painting.
Thinking of the scene before she left, my mind became more and more irritable-
After she finished saying goodbye, she turned around and left, walked a few steps and stopped, turned to him and said: "Xie Shaoqing probably doesn't know, my brother Qian was innocently murdered, and his future was ruined, and now he can regain his confidence, how hard-won it is, and how precious it is for us to help our family." ”
“…… I invite you, not only to borrow your fame, but also to show you his present hopeful life. Not everyone who has been devastated by evil can return to normal life. ”
“…… You have solved countless cases, and the black and white reversals that have passed through your hands have been counted, and there are many things in your heart? I'm afraid you feel that you are just going with the flow, or you are helpless, so what did you do for the sake of the people of this big beam? ”
Thinking of this, Xie Zhan pinched his eyebrows and laughed at himself.
yes, what the hell did he do?
Shi Qing waited on the side for a long time, and saw that his son-in-law had been staring at the scroll, shaking his head for a while and chuckling for a while, and finally couldn't hold back his words, and asked, "Childe, do you want to hang it up, or do you treasure it with the box?" ”
"Treasure it?" Xie Zhan asked word by word.
"Didn't the lady-to-be do it?" Shi Qinghui.
When he listened back to Fengyuan, the Fu girl was about to leave from the corner, and the Fu family sent this thing after a while. It wasn't the expectant lady who sent it to the family, who else could it be?
Shi Qing's words stimulated Xie Zhan somehow, his face changed, and he reached out and pressed the lid that was lifted with a "snap".
"Thrown."
"Thrown, thrown?" Shi Qing was so surprised that his tongue knotted, "Do you really want to throw it?" ”
Xie Zhan squinted at him, "What?" I dispose of my own things, and I have to look at your face? ”
Shi Qingqing said bluntly: "If the prospective lady knows that you don't cherish it so much, she should be disappointed if she says to throw it away!" ”
As soon as he heard the word "disappointed", Xie Zhan's heart shrank.
Yes, the look that flashed in those eyes contained these two words - disappointment.
**
April 17.
At noon, the sky is still clear, and in the afternoon, the drizzle will come unexpectedly, and there is a great tendency to intensify.
After leaving duty, Xie Zhan went back to Tingfeng Garden, changed into his official uniform, and ordered Shi Qing to get a new painting, and then went to Leping Lane.
Leping Lane and Wuyi Lane are separated by two streets, counting the closing hours of regular shops, at this time, "Moxi Study" should be open for a long time.
Unexpectedly, Xie Zhan will get off the carriage and see a crowd of people in front of the study. As the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he is very familiar with this scene, and these onlookers are all watching the excitement.
Shi Qing held the umbrella for him, heard the noise inside, and glanced sideways at his son-in-law.
Xie Zhan's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Go in and have a look." ”
