Fang Zhongjin followed the direction pointed by Lu'er, and finally found the mansion on Qingquan Street. The house is fully renovated, and there are three caring and simple servants waiting for him in the house.

Although all this seems incredible, if it comes from the hand of Lu'er, it will make sense.

It's just that I didn't expect that the housekeeper in the house saw that Fang Zhongjin had recognized him. The first thing I asked after I made up my mind was: "Since the master is back, I don't know when the young lady will come back?"

Fang Zhongjin was shocked when he heard this. He hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Miss isn't here, and how long has she been gone?"

The housekeeper Zhang Arui was taken aback by Fang Zhongjin's expression. He said, "Soon after the young lady bought us, she said that there was something important to deal with. Let's wait here for the return of the old man with peace of mind. The lives of our family of three were saved by the young lady. Naturally, I want to know the kindness of the retribution, so I have been looking forward to it day and night for the past four or five months, just waiting for the old man to return as soon as possible. ”

His daughter-in-law, Zhang's family, also added: "Yes, sir, we were all bankers. I had never done the work of a servant before I was in trouble, but fortunately, the young lady did not dislike it. Just let us do our part with peace of mind.

In the past few months, we have never dared to forget Miss's entrustment, and we dare not stop sprinkling and sweeping every day. Now the bedding and sheets in the old man's room have been replaced with the latest and cleanest. Wait a minute, let Xiaoyingzi take the master back to the house to rest. ”

Fang Zhongjin saw that they were talking a lot excitedly, obviously extremely happy about their return. Lu'er's physiognomy is far superior to herself, and she can rest assured that she can hand over this Qingquan Street mansion to this family of three to take care of, so she naturally has great trust in their character.

This family of three did not live up to Lu'er, and they really cleaned up here obediently for four or five months, just waiting for their return.

Fang Zhongjin sighed and asked, "Didn't Miss say that she was going to do something big?"

The three members of the Zhang family, you look at me, I look at you, all of them are at a loss. The Zhang family hurriedly asked their daughter Xiaoyingzi: "You are the closest to Miss, has she told you? ”

How old is Xiao Yingzi, her heart is nervous, and her round face is flushed with urgency. She was about to cry and said, "I...... I really don't know...... I never thought to ask, and Mademoiselle never said it. ”

This family of three knew that they didn't understand the rules of a big family, and they began to be timid. They were worried that when the young lady went out, they should have asked. It's just that the three of them didn't expect it, so they couldn't answer the master's words.

The three members of the Zhang family blamed themselves and were worried that they would be punished by the master. It was Zhang Arui who spoke first and said, "Master, don't blame Xiaoyingzi. It was the slave who didn't ask Miss. Master, let's punish the minions!"

Fang Zhongjin sighed and said, "I didn't mean to blame you. Is there a study in this house? Take me to see it. ”

When the three members of the Zhang family heard that the old man was no longer angry, they were all overjoyed. Zhang Arui didn't dare to let his youngest daughter serve the master anymore. They don't know what the temper of this new master is, and whether he will be like the rumored old man who will scold people at every turn. So Zhang Arui took the initiative to take Fang Zhongjin to the study to have a look.

In fact, Fang Zhongjin calculated according to the time and day, and guessed that Lu'er probably hadn't been in this mansion for a few days. It's just that he still has a glimmer of hope that maybe Lu'er will leave some clues in the study.

Fang Zhongjin followed Zhang Arui all the way to turn left and right, and finally came to the study in a moment. The layout of this study is the same as that fashionable in the capital. Outside the house, there are several pots of Junzi Orchid and Wenzhu. Push open the door, and the furnishings inside are bright and open. A large rhubarb desk is placed by the window. The four treasures of the study room on the table are readily available, and Fang Zhongjin knows at a glance that they are all good goods.

As the Zhang family said, the table was cleaned. Shoushan stone paperweight, Huanghuali pen holder, and purple gold copper incense burner are all placed in the right place.

On the side of the desk is a multi-treasure shelf, where some jade Guanyin, amethyst geodes, three-color horses, etc. are playing.

There are several paintings and calligraphy of the people of the time hanging on the wall, and it seems that they also have a certain foundation.

Anyone who sees such a study will think that this is the house of a well-educated Confucian. It seems that this girl Lu'er really took great pains for herself.

And Fang Zhongjin turned his eyes, and suddenly saw a picture of a lady hanging in the room. This lady is depicted as a fairy-like beauty flying across the waves. There is no painter on the painting, and there is a sentence "Lingbo Fairy Dust Socks" on the side, which is the name of the painting.

And what really surprised Fang Zhongjin was the woman depicted in the painting, none other than Lu'er!

To be precise, it is a deer dressed up. This painting is lifelike, showing the bright charm of the deer undoubtedly.

It's just that I have seen such a deer twice. As far as he knows, although Lu'er is skillful, he is not good at Danqing. But I don't know who painted this painting?

Fang Zhongjin was stunned for a long time at the painting, gathering the bits and pieces of clues after he came back, but he still couldn't figure it out.

Zhang Arui was only stupid when he looked at the painting, and said jokingly: "This painting is indeed very good." Even a coarse person like me, who can't read big characters, can see that the room full of calligraphy and painting is the best. If you look closely, the fairy lady in this painting still looks a little like my young lady. ”

Fang Zhongjin turned around and asked, "Do you know where this painting came from?"

Zhang Arui was stunned for a long time before he said: "Master is really tormented, I was born in a farming, where do I know what to paint? I don't know which person's work this is?"

He was secretly resentful in his heart, and he shouldn't have interjected indiscriminately. The old man probably thought that he also knew these elegant things, so he came to teach himself.

Zhang Arui even secretly decided that he would also pay attention to calligraphy and painting from now on, and perhaps the housekeepers of large families really need to understand these ways.

What Zhang Arui thought in his heart was honestly displayed on his face. Fang Zhongjin knew that he couldn't ask why, so he waved him back to rest.

Zhang Arui bowed as if relieved, and then exited the study.

Fang Zhongjin knew that he was finally the only one now, so he observed it carefully in the study.

The first thing he looked at was the painting. After carefully looking at it for a long time, there is nothing abrupt except that the lady in the painting is the same as the deer.

He flipped through the books on the shelves one by one, and they were all ordinary books that could be bought on the market. Although there are no rare books, fortunately, they have everything.

Fang Zhongjin turned his gaze back to the painting. The "deer" on the painting still has low eyes and smiles, and the slender jade fingers seem to point ahead.

Fang Zhongjin's heart moved, there may be something mysterious in the direction of the woman in this painting. In the mood to give it a try, he looked at the paperweight on the table in the direction the portrait pointed.

Sure enough, I saw a thin paper slip pressed under the paperweight, which read:

Sure enough, you found out so quickly!
