When Gu Huaisheng looked at Yun Mo, the old man had already knocked on the door first, and then turned back and trot to Gu Huaisheng, bent over and gestured as a respectful invitation.

"My lords, please." Seeing that the two of them were not moving, the old man said.

Gu Huaisheng withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, nodded and was about to go up the steps, but Yun Mo stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Huh?" Gu Huaisheng looked over suspiciously.

Yun Mo said: "Hold on, my lord, wait for my subordinates to take a look..."

Before Yun Mo finished speaking, the gate of Chang's house creaked and someone pulled it open. The two turned their heads following the sound, and saw Chang Shuo stepping out of the threshold, holding his pendulum, and trotting out to greet him.

"Slave Chang Shuo to Master Gu, Master Mo please greet!" Chang Shuo rolled up his sleeves, ran to Gu Huaisheng in a few steps, and bowed on his knees.

Gu Huaisheng took a step back, Fang lowered his head to look at Chang Shuo, a smile appeared in his eyes with a twitch of his mouth.

"Eunuch Chang, long time no see!" Gu Huaisheng didn't cry out, and raised his brows meaningfully: "I miss you so much after seeing you for a long time, and I still think about where Eunuch Chang went to for high school, but I didn't expect to run away to this world Came to hide somewhere outside."

"Thank you, Mr. Gu." Gu Huaisheng refused to let him get up, and Chang Shuo knelt for a while and then got up by himself: "Once the emperor and the courtiers, let alone us slaves, are like the climbing vines. If the wall collapses, there will be no attachments." It is the best gift from God to be able to live in one corner."

Gu Huaisheng lowered his head and smiled slightly: "I think Eunuch Chang is having a good life these days. Thinking about it, he must have a new support. This wall-climbing vine is very tenacious. When one wall collapses, he knows how to climb the second wall." Survive between the cracks."

Chang Shuo's smile faltered, but then returned to normal: "It's been a long time since I saw you, Mr. Gu is still so funny."

"Clumsy mouth and tongue, how dare you pretend to be funny?" Gu Huaisheng straightened his waist, and then changed his tone: "I don't know why Eunuch Chang asked me to come here, why? It shouldn't be to reminisce about the old days, we didn't go there either. Friendship."

Hearing this, Chang Shuo also straightened his face, turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation: "It's very inconvenient here, please take a seat, Mr. Gu."

Gu Huaisheng glanced at him, raised his leg and was about to enter, but Yun Mo stretched out his arm to stop him.

"It's okay." Gu Huaisheng smiled, pressed down Yun Mo's arm, and walked in front: "Let's go."

Yun Mo squinted at Chang Shuo.

Seeing this, Chang Shuo smiled and stretched out his hand again: "Lord Mo, please."

Yun Mo ignored him, seeing that Gu Huaisheng had already stepped over the threshold, he strode up to follow.

The old man glanced at the two of them, walked to Chang Shuo's side in two steps, and was about to speak when Chang Shuo raised his hand and interrupted.

"This is a nobleman, don't be negligent, tell me to bring out my treasured tribute tea." After Chang Shuo finished speaking, he closed his lapel and entered the gate.

"Master Gu, please." Chang Shuo personally led the way, but instead of going to the living room, he led him into the inner courtyard.

Whoever entertains guests and does not go to the living room is led to the inner courtyard?

Yun Mo's already guarded nerves became even more tense, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword couldn't help but strengthened accordingly.

On the other hand, Gu Huaisheng had a calm demeanor, without any trace of nervousness. Seeing Yun Mo's movements, he stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, signaling him to relax.

Chang Shuo also saw the interaction between the two, but acted as if he hadn't seen it. He didn't explain a word from the beginning to the end, and soon led the two of them around to the innermost courtyard.

The courtyard is surrounded by high walls, and even in this season, the vines covering the walls are still lush.

Gu Huaisheng couldn't help laughing the moment he saw the vines.

It was Yun Mo, thinking of the conversation between Gu Huaisheng and Chang Shuo outside just now, and now looking at the vines covering the wall, he also clenched his fist to cover his mouth, and stopped the corners of his mouth from rising.

However, when they got closer, they frowned slightly when they smelled the bitter smell of medicine in the air.

"The nobleman living in this courtyard has been weak all year round, and he is suspended by medicine. The smell is a bit strong. Please forgive me, Mr. Gu." Chang Shuo explained with a smile when he turned his head and saw the reaction of the two.

"Oh?" Gu Huaisheng raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Since Eunuch Chang brought me here, I think this noble person should be an acquaintance?"

Chang Shuo just made a gesture of invitation, and didn't answer anything else.

Regarding this, Gu Huaisheng didn't mind it either, both left and right have come here, if it's a human or a ghost, you'll know when you go in and see it.

However, after entering, he walked all the way from the yard to the house, but he didn't see anyone.

Chang Shuo bowed his waist: "Master Gu, please wait for a moment, the slave will go and invite the nobleman out."

Gu Huaisheng and Yun Mo looked at each other, then nodded. After Chang Shuo left, the two wandered around and looked at each other. As soon as they turned around, Gu Huaisheng was attracted by a picture of Guanyin sitting on a lotus on the wall, and subconsciously walked over.

Yun Mo was about to turn around and go to the other side, but when he saw Gu Huaisheng's movements, he followed him.

"Is there something wrong with this picture of Guanyin sitting on a lotus?" Yun Mo looked carefully at the lotus plate where Guanyin was sitting, feeling a little inexplicable.

Gu Huaisheng didn't answer Yun Mo, but stretched out his hand to touch the lotus plate thoughtfully, but because of the occasion, he didn't go into it further, looked at it, and then withdrew his hand with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Let's talk later." Hearing the sound of wheels coming from outside the door, Gu Huaisheng whispered something to Yun Mo, and the two turned to face the door, and then saw Chang Shuo pushing one of them back.

The man was dressed in gray clothes and a bamboo hat. The black gauze almost covered his entire face. His hands were slender and pale on the armrests of the wooden wheelchair. His legs were covered with a blanket, but his feet, which were faintly visible from under the blanket, were different from ordinary people. However, this is enough to know that this person is disabled because his legs cannot move, but if he is expensive, his whole body is ordinary, but he can't see the slightest bit of nobility, but his whole body is full of death and gloom.

"Master Gu should have seen that painting, right?" As soon as he entered the door, the man raised his hand to signal Chang Shuo to stop, then straightened the blanket on his lap, and opened his mouth casually.

The voice is quite pleasant, the timbre is clear and clear, and it seems to be quite young, probably in the mid-thirties.

Gu Huaisheng looked at the other party calmly, and nodded when he heard the words: "The brushwork is refined, the ink is applied evenly, and the lines of the whole painting are clear and lifelike. It is really a rare masterpiece."

This is pure nonsense, Gu Huaisheng's mind was all on the lotus plate, and he didn't look at anything else carefully at all, but this didn't prevent him from opening his mouth on the spot.

"Hehe..." The man chuckled, his tone difficult to distinguish between joy and anger: "Then I don't know what advice Master Gu has for you?"

"Hey, Gu is just an ordinary person, how can he understand this?" Gu Huaisheng glanced at Chang Shuo: "It's okay for a layman to watch the excitement, but he doesn't dare to teach you, but I don't know why you ask, could it be... what is the mystery of this painting?" No?"

The man didn't answer the question until the servant brought hot tea, then he said slowly: "Grandpa Chang, this tribute tea was rewarded by the late Emperor when he was here, and he has always treasured it so that no one would give it to anyone. It's rare to ask Mr. Gu for his blessing today." I'm so lucky to have this chance." Passing the cup of tea to Chang Shuo, the man said, "Look, I've dragged Mr. Gu to talk so much nonsense that I forgot to ask you to sit down. Come on." Come on, don't stand, sit down and drink tea, let's chat slowly."

The topic suddenly jumped to tea for no reason, and I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd.

But Gu Huaisheng has nothing else, the most important thing is the patience to talk with others. Hearing this, he was not at all unhappy, so he smiled, then turned around and sat down on the side tea table. Holding a cup of tea, I was quite calm.

Yun Mo didn't take his seat, but stayed by Gu Huaisheng's side. He was also full of patience. He looked as if Gu Huaisheng was not in a hurry, but he never let go of his tense nerves, especially the weird person in front of him, even though he was disabled. , but he didn't dare to take it lightly. He had been vigilant since he entered the door and was always on guard.

The man waited for a long time, but Gu Huaisheng did not speak, so he suddenly laughed, his laughing shoulders trembled, like a psychopath.

"Master Gu is not curious, why am I laughing?" After laughing for a long time, Gu Huaisheng did not see any reaction, the man finally stopped and asked quietly.

"Laugh when you're happy, why are you curious?" Gu Huaisheng paused while drinking tea, and as he said this, he already had a faint guess in his heart. Because of this, he became more and more curious about the appearance of the man under the veil. , but he didn't show the slightest bit on his face, and he was as steady as an old dog.

"Lord Gu." After the two of them argued, Chang Shuo couldn't stand it any longer, and couldn't help but said, "This is Zhao Jiuye, the nobleman I mentioned earlier."

Surnamed Zhao...

This surname, Gu Huaisheng's eyes flashed keenly, Fang put down the teacup and looked up, but pretended to be confused with Linglong's thoughts, and bowed his hands: "So it's Zhao Jiuye, it's a pleasure to meet you."

As soon as he said this, Zhao Jiuye pulled hard on the armrest, and it took a long time for him to let go.

"Master Gu..." Zhao Jiuye took a deep breath, and when he spoke again, he could hear the gnashing of teeth through the veil, "Do you know that I'm so annoying?"

"I'm not real money, can I still be loved by everyone?" Gu Huaisheng laughed a little, but his eyes were full of light: "Some people like it, and others hate it, but Zhao Jiuye would say that, it seems, It's disgusting."

"Slick tone." Finally, Zhao Jiuye couldn't help but reprimanded him.

"To each other." Gu Huaisheng stood up and said, "You should be honest in exchange for the other's honesty. Zhao Jiuye himself covered his face with a veil, and his words were even more bewildering without any sincerity. So, how can we ask others to be honest?" Treating each other? I think, the two of you deliberately brought Gu here here, probably not just for the sake of casual talk, isn't it better if we have something to discuss? Eunuch Chang, what do you think?"

"You've seen that painting, so you don't have anything to ask?" Before Chang Shuo could answer, Zhao Jiuye took the conversation away: "In this case, then Zhao Mou came to ask, Mr. Gu probably didn't pay attention. Look, you might as well turn around and take a closer look to see what is so special about this painting."

Hearing this, Gu Huaisheng raised his eyebrows with a half-smile, and turned around to look at the painting as he said, but he just looked at it, without the slightest intention to speak first.

The more calm he was, the lower the air pressure of Zhao Jiuye, and finally he couldn't hold back and opened his mouth first: "Master Gu didn't realize that the lotus flower that Guanyin is sitting on looks familiar?"
