Chapter 387: Doing what you want

connection: close

Chu Huan was stunned and turned his head. He saw Ling Shuang standing beside him, his eyes wide open, full of surprise, and he couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What is "Nine Scenery Picture of the Streams and Mountains"?"

Ling Shuang obviously realized that she had lost her composure, and her voice softened, and hurriedly said, "Master, I... I have lost my words. I look at this painting... This painting is "Nine Scenerys in the Stream", so...!"

"It's okay!" Chu Huan shook his head and brought the scroll over. At this time, the lights had already been lit in the house. Under the lights, the scroll seemed a bit old. Chu Huan asked in a low voice: "Have you seen this painting?"

Ling Shuang said: "I have seen a fake before. This is Gu Kaizhi's "Nine Scenery Pictures of Streams and Mountains". If it is real, it will be priceless!"

"Gu Kaizhi?" Chu Huan only felt that the name was very familiar, and soon remembered that another painting by Gu Kaizhi was very famous, which was "The Goddess of Luo River". It turned out that this painting was actually from Gu Kaizhi.

Chu Huan looked at this picture before, and it was ordinary. At this time, he heard that it was Gu Kaizhi's painting, so he must be extraordinary. He asked, "Ling Shuang, why is this painting called this?"

Ling Shuang looked at Chu Huan and saw that Chu Huan was sincerely asking for advice. Then she explained softly: "It is said that Gu Kaizhi once visited the mountains and rivers and liked the nine beautiful scenery very much, but these nine scenery were divided into nine places. Gu Kai had an idea afterwards and integrated the nine scenery into the same painting, which became "Nine Scenery Pictures of Streams and Mountains". "Ling Shuang was obviously very knowledgeable about the paintings, stretching out his finger and pointing to the corner, "This is one of the scenes. There is a strange point in this picture, which is that it looks ordinary at first, but if you cover up the other eight places, you will be very stunning."

Chu Huan was very interested, so he placed it on the table and summoned Ling Shuang to cover the other eight places together. The two of them gathered together unknowingly, just because they were admiring the paintings, but they didn't notice that they were very close. With Ling Shuang's help, they could see the nine scenes one by one. Although Chu Huan was not familiar with the paintings, he was really amazing when he looked at each scene. He couldn't help but pat Ling Shuang's shoulder and said, "Ling Shuang, you are so amazing. If it weren't for you, I thought this was an ordinary painting. Hahaha, it was like a mountain, with you next to me, I knew how to read the paintings."

He said a few words, and there was a faint fragrance on his nose. He quickly felt something was wrong. He turned his head over and saw that he placed one hand on Ling Shuang's shoulders. Ling Shuang lowered his head, and his snow-white cheeks were flushed, looking a little uneasy. Chu Huan came over and was shocked, scolding himself for being a little lost. He hurriedly withdrew his hand and said a little embarrassedly: "Ling Shuang, I... that... don't be surprised, I did it unintentionally..." People today are different from the past. There is a saying that men and women cannot understand. Although Ling Shuang was born in a brothel, she was clean and clean. She touched her body inadvertently, and it didn't matter, but she was somewhat disrespectful to Ling Shuang.

Chu Huan naturally had no idea of ​​a master and slave in his mind. His inertia was that everyone respected each other. Ling Shuang was suspected of touching her when she moved in on the first day, which made Chu Huan feel a little embarrassed.

Ling Shuang saw Chu Huan's awkward expression and was really unintentional. For some reason, Ling Shuang felt a little disappointed. Instead, she felt that Chu Huan was willing to put her shoulders on her, which seemed to be better.

"Master, you... don't say that." Under the lights, Ling Shuang's delicate face was blushing, and her watery eyes seemed to drip out of water: "You are Ling Shuang's savior, Ling Shuang... Ling Shuang just wants to repay you well in the future. As long as the master does not dislike Ling Shuang, Ling Shuang is willing to stay by the master's side."

Chu Huan was startled and thought to myself that if you were following me all the time, King Yingren of Qi would have to fight with me. He quickly waved his hand and said, "This...this is not possible..."

He was extremely brave, but under the lonely lamp, such a watery girl was in front of him and her body was emitting a faint fragrance, which made Chu Huan feel a little uncomfortable.

Ling Shuang's delicate body shook slightly, and her voice trembled, "Master, are you saying, Ling Shuang... Ling Shuang can't stay with the Master?" Her face was still blushing, but she was already a little pale at this time.

Seeing this, Chu Huan understood. It turned out that Ling Shuang thought she would send her away. She shook her head and said, "Ling Shuang, don't think too much. In fact, things are not what you think." She paused and sighed, "Ling Shuang, don't have a burden, let alone think that I helped you. You have to repay me. This should not be a burden to you."

Ling Shuang bit her heavy lips lightly, pondered for a moment, then said, "Master, actually... Ling Shuang is not just trying to repay your kindness, but...but...!" She lowered her head but did not dare to speak.

Chu Huan scratched his temples and said softly: "Ling Shuang, you have to say whatever you want, in front of me, you don't have to worry about it."

Ling Shuang did not look up, but said in an extremely low voice: "Ling Shuang... Ling Shuang is not only trying to repay you, Ling Shuang stays by your side, but also... because she likes to stay by your side...!" At the end of her speech, her voice was as thin as a mosquito ant.

Even though Chu Huan was stupid, she naturally felt something from Ling Shuang's expression and tone, and was surprised: "Isn't this girl interested in me?"

He may be able to have feelings for many women, but in this world, this woman is the most untouchable.

"Ling Shuang, that... don't get me wrong." Chu Huan frowned, "I was careless just now, and it was definitely not intentional."

Ling Shuang secretly glanced at Chu Huan, and when she saw Chu Huan frowning, her heart sank, biting her red lips, and finally asked softly: "Master, does Ling Shuang come here to make you embarrassed?" She raised her head and looked at Chu Huan, her expression became very resolute: "If Ling Shuang causes trouble to the master here, then Ling Shuang will leave immediately."

Chu Huan knew that this woman was very strong and good at observing her expressions. If she had a little strange look, she would see the clues. She smiled bitterly: "Ling Shuang, you are with me, I can't ask for anything, so how could she say that she would cause me trouble?"

Ling Shuang blinked her eyes. In fact, she couldn't understand Chu Huan's thoughts now, and asked softly: "Then... does the master like Ling Shuang to stay?"

"Of course." Chu Huan nodded, but felt that such an answer seemed a little inappropriate. He was really confused for a moment. If he had known that Ling Shuang would have been in a position, it would have been a bit inappropriate. Now it is true.

Ling Shuang smiled sweetly, her eyes like crescent moons: "Master, don't worry, Ling Shuang knows how to do it in the future and will never cause trouble for you." He seemed to remember something and said, "Master, I will burn you hot water, you can wash it later."

Chu Huan hurriedly said, "No, no, I will do it myself." Then he pointed to the painting and said, "Ling Shuang, are this painting real or not?"

Ling Shuang leaned forward and pondered for a moment before saying, "I can't see it, but such paper was really only available in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. I saw a few fakes before, but I don't know what the authentic one looks like. However, the lines of this painting are very smooth, and it is indeed a painting passed down from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Even if it is a fake, it is also a fake that began to be passed down from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. I think it should be very expensive." After a pause, my eyes were like water, and there was a shrewd look: "But I think that people who really collect such paintings will not know whether it is true or false. If it is a fake, how could it be passed down from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to today?"

Chu Huan said in surprise: "In this way, is this "Nine Scenery Picture of the Streams and Mountains" possible? "

Ling Shuang nodded: "Although I can't be sure, I'm most likely the authentic ones." After a pause, he added: "If this painting is authentic, then it will be priceless!"

Chu Huan frowned, but was also a little shocked. He was already a little sure that the painting was a real work. After all, it was given by Feng Yuanpo of Hexi Road. He and the governor would not give him a fake.

However, he was just the head of the Ministry of Revenue, but Feng Yuanpo gave such a generous gift. He was too generous to take action. He was so kind to himself, so he could not imagine the gift he gave to Hu Bufan.

Of course, Feng Yuanpo's handling of the Ministry of Revenue is impossible for no reason. Chu Huan knew that his ultimate goal was to successfully build the Northern Xinjiang trade market. In this way, the Northern Xinjiang trade market was quite important for Feng Yuanpo.

The room Ling Shuang chose was not far from where Chu Huan lived, so Chu Huan didn't say much. As long as he didn't live in the same room, everything would be easy to say.

Chu Huan also knew that Ling Shuang was settled here, Ying Ren was afraid that he would come here day and night. As long as he had the chance, he would come over. He guessed that it was really good. Two days after Ling Shuang moved in, at dusk, he returned to the mansion, but he found that the mansion was open abnormally. There were two Qingyi servants guarding outside the door. They looked dressed as servants, but they were definitely tough. Sun Desheng was right next to the gate, and Jinyi was still sticking to his beard. When he saw Chu Huan come back, he smiled and greeted him in a low voice: "Mr. Chu, Your Highness has just come here!"

Chu Huan hurried to the main hall, and Sun Desheng whispered beside him: "Miss Mo is serving you, let's see the movement first, don't disturb you first!"

Chu Huan nodded and asked softly: "Mr. Sun, did Your Highness explain the whole story clearly today?" He only felt that he would not have to be in a dilemma when he explained the situation to Ling Shuang earlier.

Sun Desheng hurriedly said, "This is not true. The time is not yet ripe. Your Highness said that if the person who wants Miss Mo to truly like him, if he reveals his identity so quickly, he will not be able to judge whether Miss Mo really likes him in the future."

Chu Huan smiled bitterly and said, "In this way, does Your Highness want to have real feelings?"

"It's not a play." Sun Desheng corrected: "Your Highness really likes Miss Mo, so he also hopes that Miss Mo really likes him. Your Highness said, this... this is called love between the two people!"

He is a eunuch, and he seems to be very excited when talking about such men and women.

Chu Huan stopped and said, "Let's do this. Since Your Highness is inside, I won't bother you. I'll have dinner here tonight. I'll buy some food for you."

"No need." Sun Desheng said: "Your Highness is going to go to the Prince's Mansion for a banquet. Your Highness said that you will not have to work hard to let you go together tonight."

"Go to the Prince's Mansion?"

"Yes!" Sun Desheng nodded. The two of them were already close to the main hall and did not dare to get too close, but they found that there was silence inside the main hall and there was no sound.

I don’t know how long it took to see Yingren in a brocade dress. Today, in order to see Ling Shuang, Yingren obviously put some thoughts on her dress and dressed very handsomely and handsomely. However, when she came out, she looked a little embarrassed. As soon as she went out, she saw Chu Huan, her eyebrows raised and smiled. She quickly came over. Ling Shuang had already gone out to send her out. When she saw Chu Huan, she immediately said: "Master, Mr. Xu is here to find you!"

Chu Huan said in his heart: "What are you here to find me? You are here to find you." He bowed and smiled: "Young Master Xu!"

"Brother Chu, Brother Chu!" Yingren pretended to bow, turned around and bowed to Ling Shuang, pretending to be gentle: "Girl, I'm really disturbing. If there is any rudeness, please forgive me!"

Chu Huanxin said, "Can you be rude to Ling Shuang in the house?"

But Ling Shuang smiled sweetly and said, "Young Master Xu, you are the master's distinguished guest, you are the distinguished guest of our Chu Mansion. And you have... you have helped the little girl, and the little girl is grateful and remembered in her heart!"

Yingren laughed and said, "Miss, I still have some connections in the capital. If you have any needs in the future, just tell me, I will definitely get it for you. Well, Brother Chu and I are good friends, so I will say that I will come to visit you from time to time. Does the girl like jewelry? Or rouge? Well, otherwise I will have some good pastries on my side and bring you next time. Well, the girl looks good in this outfit. Next time I come, I will bring you a few good clothes...!"

He is a precious person and doesn't know how to express his love. He just feels that he can express his love by providing some material needs to the person he likes. He sees these heart-wrenching words in Ling Shuang's eyes, but he feels very funny. He covers his red lips and smiles. His smile is beautiful again. Yingren saw it in his eyes and thought that Ling Shuang has a good impression of him. He looked a little embarrassed when he went out, but at this time he is already dancing: "Haha, it seems that the girl likes it, so okay, I will do this well!"

Ling Shuang Yingying bowed and returned to the room. Yingren then approached Chu Huan and sighed softly: "Miss Ling Shuang is really strange. I was in the room just now and asked older things, but she couldn't say a few words. Now when I came out, she suddenly expressed her feelings. It's hard to guess what a woman is thinking. Well, Chu Huan, do you see, does Miss Ling Shuang have a good impression of me?"

Chu Huan smiled and said, "There must be some!"

He must have some good feelings, but Chu Huan was not sure whether Ling Shuang had a relationship with Yingren.

Yingren looked up at the sky, took Chu Huan's hand, and said, "It's getting late, go there with me first, don't let it go too much..." He lowered his voice: "Don't let the prince brother wait in a hurry!"

Chu Huan whispered: "Your Highness goes to the Crown Prince's Mansion, Xiao minister... Isn't it appropriate for Xiao minister to go with you?"

"There is nothing wrong." Yingren said: "Sometimes he says something I can't understand. You accompany me, I can't understand. You may be able to understand it. Let's go, don't delay any more!"

Yingren was indeed full of trust in Chu Huan. He sat in the same carriage and got on the carriage. Yingren couldn't wait to ask, "Chu Huan, I heard that you hit someone in the Ministry of Revenue?"

Chu Huan was stunned and said strangely: "Has this been spread?"

Yingren laughed and said, "Chu Huan, do you know who is the most well-informed in Beijing?"

Chu Huan shook his head.

"It's not the Ministry of Men's Secretariat, nor the Minister of Secretariat, nor the Minister of Secretariat." Yingren smiled and said, "The most informed are the eunuchs and palace maids in the Eunuchs and Eunuchs. Anything that matters in the capital will be spread from their mouths in a short time. Sun Desheng is my ear. Don't look at me staying in the palace, I know everything outside the palace."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Your Highness is wise."

"Don't be wise or not." Yingren came closer and whispered: "Chu Huan, didn't you say we should keep a low profile and fight without fighting? Why did you make trouble in the Ministry of Revenue first? Not only did you beat Dou Yi, but you also forced him away. Isn't this making an enemy for yourself?"

Chu Huan smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness thinks I want to do this?"

"Then... then you don't want to, why do you do that?"

"Your Highness, please ask, have you ever seen a military post resident in the Ministry of Revenue before?" Chu Huan stared at Yingren and asked, "The emperor is wise and wise. Do you think it's just a whim to put me, a military poster, into the Ministry of Revenue?"

Yingren scratched his head and said in confusion: "I don't understand."

Chu Huan lowered his voice and said seriously: "The role of a military man in civil service is self-evident, and he must be arbitrary. The wise ruler transferred me to the Ministry of Revenue. In fact, I wanted me to perform martial arts at the Ministry of Revenue and make me make a fuss at the Ministry of Revenue. Otherwise, there would be no need to make such arrangements. If I honestly handle the work at the Ministry of Revenue, within a month, I will definitely be transferred from the Ministry of Revenue and will no longer be reused!" He smiled bitterly: "My troubles at the Ministry of Revenue are just doing what the Emperor wants!"

"Is it... the father gave you a secret decree?"

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "The Lord will not give up such a will, but will only make me understand it myself. If I cannot understand it, I will not deserve to do such an errand for the Lord!"

Yingren frowned and said in confusion: "Actually, I am very surprised. You are a general and should be named as a military officer, but it is really unexpected to entrust you to the Ministry of Revenue." After thinking about it, he asked softly: "Why did the father do this? Why did he want you to fight in the Ministry of Revenue?"

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "The holy heart is like a sea. This is something that the ministers don't need to think about, nor can they think about. Just do your best to do your best."

Yingren understood and said, "I am surprised that when you first entered the Ministry of Revenue, you can't be so irresponsible. It turns out that you guessed what your father meant." He leaned against the carriage and wondered, "But why did the father do this? The Ministry of Revenue is the place where I am the Great Qin Dynasty's money and food, and it is a major place. Why did the father ask you to stir up storms in the Ministry of Revenue? Chu Huan, don't guess the father's thoughts wrong."

"No." Chu Huan shook his head and smiled: "If I guessed wrong, I have been kicked out of the Ministry of Revenue and even the head has fallen to the ground."
