Chapter 11 The Painter
Gu Qing pondered for a while and replied: "Yes."
The Fang family is not an ordinary family. If he denies it, Mr. Fang may not be able to investigate it, but Fang Wanqiu may not be able to do so. At Fang Wanqiu's age, when she is very curious, not to mention that women are always more curious than men, and it is a little more troublesome.
So Gu Qing simply admitted it himself. He did not answer immediately, but also expressed his attitude. He did not like this question very much.
Fang Wanqiu wanted to ask something more, but Old Fang interrupted her and said, "Wanqiu, Aqing is the guest I invited. Don't ask questions, it's impolite."
The old man has been through the world for a long time. Seeing Gu Qing pondering for a while before answering, he expected Gu Qing was not so willing to discuss this matter. Since he was unhappy, he would be hurt in the end.
He likes Gu Qing very much and doesn't want to be apart from him. Besides, the painting is really good, that's something to be happy about, which shows that Gu Qing has put his heart into it.
He called the servant to hold Gu Qing's words, and the three of them went to have a meal. Gu Qing and Fang Wanqiu sat opposite each other on the old man, and the girl Linghui's eyes occasionally flew over Gu Qing's body.
Gu Qing was calm and calm. Whenever the girl's eyes turned, she responded with a smile.
He knew that this would not dispel Fang Wanqiu's curiosity, so he might as well look at her openly. Anyway, this girl is quite pretty.
Mr. Fang saw all this.
He knew that his granddaughter was unusual and that the men next to him could rarely face her so calmly, but Fang Lao was not surprised that Gu Qing showed this. However, the painting was actually written by Gu Qing, and Fang Lao was even more confused about Gu Qing's origin.
Mr. Fang actually sent someone to touch Gu Qing's background, but he didn't get anything.
The experience of Gu Qing before living in that yard seemed to have no existence at all.
As for the original owner of the yard, even Mr. Fang couldn't find out.
If it were ten years ago, Fang Lao would have suspected that Gu Qing was the person arranged by the above, but now, although he is still very influential, he is no longer important to the overall situation.
The people above will not deliberately disturb him, as there is a tacit understanding.
The most important thing is that Mr. Fang, with his own experience, does not think that Gu Qing is approaching him with a purpose.
Wanqiu is not always there. Mr. Fang hopes to continue to be friends with Gu Qing because he is old and his resistance to loneliness is far less than when he was young.
The dishes were served quickly, with the main dish being fish, called roe roe, and five light and delicious side dishes.
Old Fang said: "As old, I can't help but eat lighter. I wonder if Ah Qingxi is used to this taste?"
Gu Qing smiled and said, "Just just have a good taste. I'll try this fish first. This must be a dish that you are proud of today."
Mr. Fang said: "How do you know?"
Gu Qing said: "I fish from time to time, you know that since you are not afraid that I will get tired of the taste, the dish is served, which means that this fish is really unusual."
Mr. Fang said: "It's a pity that you don't go on the official career."
When he was as old as Gu Qing, if he had Gu Qing's ability to observe, he would not have suffered so much.
"Then try it quickly." Old Fang said.
Gu Qing was not polite, so he picked a piece of crystal white and tender fish meat, which was the meat under the gills. It was clear and delicious at first glance. Of course, Gu Qing would not miss it.
After chewing the fish into the stomach, Gu Qing was slightly shocked. His physique actually produced a subtle promotion under the action of the fish.
If he eats such a fish for one or two months, he will soon be able to practice the second level of Hunyuan Tongzi's skills and possess the power of nine oxen and two tigers. This world is essentially the same as his previous world. It is very important to strengthen the body and eat it.
In the original world, there is a saying that "three points to practice, seven points to eat".
After seeing Gu Qingyu meat in his mouth, Fang Lao said proudly: "What, it's not bad."
Gu Qing said: "Very good."
Fang Wanqiu said: "Is it a good taste, or is there something else?"
Gu Qing glanced at her and replied with a smile: "Everything is pretty good."
He had a guess in his mind that Fang Wanqiu was not an ordinary daughter-in-law.
The girl's hands are not as delicate and smooth as her daughter's house. Her tiger's mouth has calluses. Although it is very light, the method of holding chopsticks is a bit unique, and it feels like she is holding a sword. Her figure is not as delicate as her daughter's house.
His seemingly slim figure contains the oppressive force similar to a wild beast. Although it is very light, Gu Qing is too keen, so he can feel it.
Fang Wanqiu had something in her words. She knew she had practiced martial arts?
Gu Qing did not feel the characteristics of a character like Gang Xiang from Mr. Fang. He felt that Mr. Fang had never practiced martial arts, unless Mr. Fang's martial arts skills were so high that even Gang Xiang could not imagine, he could return to nature and hide himself.
Gu Qing thinks this is unlikely.
And Fang Wanqiu is likely to be a practitioner, but does Mr. Fang know?
Fang Wanqiu didn't know that Gu Qing had a lot of analysis about her. After she asked, she ate with fish and the three of them almost stopped talking and enjoyed the food.
Whether it is fish or light side dishes, it is very suitable for your appetite.
Importantly, most of the fish and meat entered Gu Qing's mouth.
As the host, Mr. Fang was very happy, which shows that his reception this time was very good, and Gu Qing was quite satisfied.
When they were almost finished eating, Fang Wanqiu suddenly said, "Grandpa, can I ask Mr. Gu Qing to teach me how to draw?"
Mr. Fang then looked at Gu Qing and said, "A Qing, what do you think?"
He knew that his granddaughter was studious, and Gu Qing had such skills, so he was more than enough to teach Wanqiu. Moreover, he was a little selfish. Gu Qing taught Wanqiu to paint for a day or two, so that his granddaughter could spend more time with him.
Before Gu Qing could speak, Fang Wanqiu said, "I will give you five hundred taels of silver every time until I don't want to learn."
Gu Qing took back the words he refused. He didn't care about the five hundred taels of silver, but just rejected Fang Wanqiu. Judging from her attitude, she would definitely not end here.
Of course, five hundred taels each time is quite high to be honest.
Alas, the women he met in this life are so rich.
Seeing that Gu Qing did not refuse, Fang Wanqiu said, "Then it's settled. I'll come to your house to find you tomorrow afternoon."
Gu Qing keenly caught a message. Fang Wanqiu came to him instead of asking him to teach her how to draw in Fang's family. If she had something to communicate with her privately?
After Fang Wanqiu finished speaking, he said to Fang: "Grandpa, I'm going back to my room. You can talk to Mr. Gu Qing."
When Fang Wanqiu left, Old Fang shook his head and smiled, and said to Gu Qing: "Wanqiu is very good. If she hits you, don't worry about him. As for this money, you can just collect it. For our old Fang family, it is not a big deal, and it is even less worth mentioning to Wanqiu."
Gu Qing said: "Miss Wanqiu's money in her hands is not from Fang's hometown?"
Old Fang smiled slightly and said, "Her mother has some stocks in Wantong Money Bank, so Qian has only been a number to Wanqiu since she was a child."
Gu Qingxin said, "I'm afraid it's not just a little stock."
He said again: "Old Fang, aren't you afraid that I have any ideas in my mind when you tell me this?"
Old Fang said, "If this happens, I will find it interesting, because you have always given me the impression that you are not like a young man, as if you have no desires or desires. If I don't say it, you are afraid of being unwilling to collect the money and are not willing to teach Wanqiu to paint. You are quite afraid of trouble."
Gu Qing: "..."
He actually wanted to say that he had already agreed.
But Mr. Fang is willing to understand this way, Gu Qing is too lazy to explain.
The two chatted in the Fang family's garden for a while before saying goodbye.
When Gu Qing went back, Fang Wanqiu was writing on a note, with the words like silver hook and iron painting, which read:
Today I met a person who was suspected to be a "painter" living in the southern suburbs of Jiangcheng, now named "Gu Qing". Please verify his true identity when you receive it and reply as soon as possible.
Signature - Muying.
After writing, Fang Wanqiu put the note into a basin of water. There were strange patterns under the basin, and mysterious brilliance burst out.
After a while, the clear light gradually faded and a passage of text appeared in the water.
"It has been verified, top secret! Don't reply."
"The identity of the painter is not as secret as the top secret. He is not a painter? Who is it?" Fang Wanqiu was full of doubts, and her curiosity became even stronger. It was just the word "top secret", like a heavy stone pressing on her heart.
She knew the weight of these two words, and the people there would definitely not want her to continue investigating Gu Qing.
Fang Wanqiu tore the note, poured out the water in the basin and stored it again.
