Chapter 037: Portrait
In the flower room in the backyard of the Qinwang Mansion, Xiao Jingxuan trimmed a Yaohuang plant with scissors. The flowers in the room were fragrant. Although the area was not very large, they were well arranged and various precious flowers were planted.
The secret guard came to report and saw that Xiao Jingxuan was trimming the broken leaves in full consciousness, so he stood aside without disturbing him. Xiao Jingxuan cut off the last broken leaves and placed the scissors on the stone table beside him. The secret guard immediately picked up the clean towel on the side and handed it to him.
Xiao Jingxuan took it and wiped his hands. After finishing, he threw it back and poured it into his own tea and asked, "What's the matter?"
Usually he is thinking about something in the flower room. If there is nothing important, the secret guards will not come to disturb him.
While putting the towel on, the secret guard said, "Today, the cousin and Mr. Yang's daughter went to the Huayi Library and met Mr. Lin there. The two had a brief exchange."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingxuan raised his eyebrows with interest: "Oh? What did they say?"
"Miss Cousin fell in love with Liu Zhenzhi's last work "Midnight in the Mid-Autumn Festival", but was bought by Mr. Lin. Ms. Cousin wanted Mr. Lin to give it to her, but was rejected. Then Ms. Cousin said that the painting was a defensive product."
The secret guard briefly told the situation at that time. In fact, he did not dare to get close at that time, for fear of being discovered. He only watched the two interact from a distance, and then judged what they said based on their mouth shape.
Protective products?
When did the girl become interested in painting? And she can see that "Night of Mid-Autumn Festival" was copied?
Xiao Jingxuan asked: "Are you sure she said that?"
"My subordinates are sure, and Mr. Lin did not deny it at that time, but later Miss Yang came to find her cousin, and Mr. Lin left. By the way, the cousin does not seem to know Mr. Lin."
The secret guard felt strange. Before the cousin was sent to Puling Temple, there were rumors that she fell in love with Master Lin. Not only did she give him long life, but she also found out where he was. Then she intercepted all kinds of entanglements on the way and lost all her reputation.
But two years later, when she faced Mr. Lin again, she looked like a stranger. I don’t know if she deliberately pretended not to know her, or if she really forgot this part.
This girl doesn't know Lin Chenyao?
This shouldn't be the case.
After hearing the secret guard's words, Xiao Jingxuan held his chin with his right hand and focused somewhere. The slender five fingers of his left hand tapped the stone table one after another, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, he said, "You go to Puling Temple to check it out yourself. What happened to her in the past two years? How did she report the news that came here is untrue."
"That cousin's side..."
"I have my own arrangements."
The secret guard took the order and retreated. Xiao Jingxuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, narrowed his eyes and thought deeply.
When he was a child, he saw the original work of "Night of Mid-Autumn Festival" in the palace once. Later, he was awarded the top scholar in both civil and military disciplines by his father to Fu Shaode, the father of Fu Guanzhang. According to Fu Guanzhang, his father brought the painting together when he was sent to Zhejiang.
More than four years ago, Fu Shaode and his family were on a boat back to Beijing to report their duties, they met the pirate Hu Batian. Fu Shaode and his wife and their young daughter died under Hu Batian's sword. The eldest daughter Fu Yinghua was injured and fell into the sea. They were rescued by nearby fishermen, but some precious antiques of calligraphy and paintings were robbed by pirates.
Until ten days ago, Liu Zhenzhi's last work "Middle Autumn Night" suddenly appeared in the Painting Gallery. He went to see the painting, and the copying technique was very realistic. Even Fu Guanzhang and his sister did not see the authenticity. They wanted to buy the painting back through various relationships, but failed to get what they wanted. However, Fu Guanzhang followed this clue to find Hu Batian's whereabouts.
Chu Xinyu had never seen the original work of "Mid-Autumn Night". Why did she realize that the painting was copied at once? Why did she buy the copied painting?
There is also Lin Chenyao. He knew it was a copy painting, so why did he need to buy it himself? Could it be because of her?
Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Jingxuan's deep eyes flashed with a hint of gloom that was not easy to detect.
...
After a meal, Chu Xinyu had already thought of what gift to Princess Zhaoyang. In order to meet the situation, she decided to send bonsai flowers, not plant bonsai, but hand-woven and string them into a flower with many small beads, and then make them into a bonsai.
But she doesn't have so many beads, she has to buy them outside. As for the tricks, she chose Phalaenopsis, which is simple and easy to woven and skewer, and such varieties are extremely rare here.
When she was bathing in the clean room, she had already thought about the color of the beads, the size of the beads, what to use for branches, and what type of flower pots to use.
There were only three days, and she was afraid that there would not be enough time. After coming out of the clean room, she was wearing her long half-wet hair and quickly sat in front of the table. As soon as bamboo silk came in, she asked her to grind ink beside her, and she wrote all the materials she needed on paper.
After finishing, she continued to draw the bonsai flowers. She took out the tools she usually painted and drew them very carefully and seriously.
Just as I was painting, I couldn't help but think of the man who was indifferent but unfamiliar in the Painting Gallery today.
This man is quite mysterious and doesn't seem to want people to know his identity. Judging from his clothes and his aura that cannot be ignored, he is definitely not an ordinary person, but he just doesn't know who he is?
However, he gave himself a feeling that he had seen him, but he was not sure, because she hadn't thought about that face for many years, and now she remembered it a little blurred. Is he the same way he looks when he grew up?
Will he believe her words and believe that the painting was copied?
If he was really the person in his memory, he would definitely be able to see the authenticity of the painting, but he was just himself... he no longer looked like he remembered and had lost the qualification to recognize him.
Brother Xuanhui, I remember your name, but I can’t remember your appearance. Will you look like this now?
"Girl, who are you painting?"
Zhu Bo suddenly made a sound to interrupt her thoughts and suddenly came back to her senses. Chu Xinyu calmed down and found that he had changed the Phalaenopsis to a portrait of a person.
"Who is he? Why is he a little familiar?" Zhubo came over and asked jokingly: "Can you be the young man in the girl's dream?" When he was in Puling Temple, Zhubo and Lan Yi were so casual when they got along with her, like their own sisters, and returned to the Marquis' Mansion. This habit could not be changed for the time being.

I have been wondering if this story is not attractive, or is it difficult for you to accept my flashback style? Lan works hard every day and writes with great enthusiasm, but I see that the collection has not increased, mushrooms, Lan thin!
ps: On the 27th, it's time to start a new article. Lan hasn't opened a new article for a long time. At first, I didn't know what PK was. After understanding it, I was a little scared. I hope that my fellow players who are diving can dive up to get some breath on the 27th, 28th and 29th and leave a message to cheer up. Let Lan know that you are silently supporting. If the collection increases by more than 30, and more than 15 comments, Lan will add one more chapter.
Chapter completed!
