antique on the run

She is full of self-confidence, because Xia Chuanqingquan's paintings have always been praised by the general. The general has never seen the newly sent one, but Sakura has read it carefully many times. She clearly remembers the color of the flowers in that painting. Much brighter than the one in front of me.

Taking a step back, even if the general really likes the painting sent by Mrs. Akanishi in his own heart, the two painters must have their own merits when put together. She is now making a thorough comparison and giving the general a thorn in the side Opportunity, so I can teach Akanishi Xingzawa to restrain himself, don't think that he can really catch the general's weakness with a single oil painting.

The art of scheming, Sakura, who frequently wanders in the upper class, has not been in contact with it in recent years. With her clever mind and exquisite heart, she can snoop a little bit.Therefore, Sakura is sure that not only will she not offend the general by doing so, but it will make the general look at her more highly.

After all, apart from having beautiful faces, the group of Yingying and Yanyan sitting below are not capable of appreciating oil paintings with the general, not to mention the general's wife, who doesn't even have beauty. If she didn't have two sons, I'm afraid he has been rejected by the general long ago.

Sakura stared at the women below, with a faint smile on her lips.

She is in her prime, and she thinks her appearance is more outstanding than any of these women, and her talents and knowledge are beyond their reach. Although she is still dressed as a geisha and her face is covered with heavy makeup, she I firmly believe that in the near future, she will take off this attire, put on the gorgeous costume of a noble lady, and sit next to the general in another capacity.

Of course, she knew that she couldn't surpass the general's wife, but it was easy to overwhelm other concubines.

After all, from the present point of view, marrying the general is her best destination.

As for Xiachuan Qingquan...

Unfortunately, if Xia Chuanqingquan did not break with the family and was still the heir of the largest maritime merchant family in the Netherlands, then they might still be possible. It will never be possible to be on the candidate list of her husband.

Sakura is so realistic, she never denies that she is using Xia Chuan Qingquan, using his love for more benefits, but she doesn't think there is anything wrong with it, because Xia Chuan Qingquan is willing, and she didn't force him, he voluntarily She gave up everything, so who can blame her.

Under the protection of her family, Xia Chuanqingquan went smoothly from childhood to adulthood, and she didn't suffer much, but she did. She was sold by her parents to be a geisha. You are not allowed to eat at a beat, and you can’t get enough to eat every day in order to control your body shape and figure. After finally getting the praise of Mama-san, you are still looked down upon and excluded by other geisha...

Before she squeezed out the top card and became the new top card of Xiaoxi's family, she suffered all the hardships and honed a cold heart, so she never thought about love, what she wanted was to be able to really grasp love. In her hands, something that can bring her benefits.

Of course, if love can bring her what she wants, then there is nothing wrong with using it a little bit. After so many years, she has already learned how to look at men with affectionate eyes and how to make men feel that she is deeply in love. with him.

You see, isn't Xiachuan Qingquan a good example?

After Sakura finished speaking, she quietly waited for the general's response with an inevitable smile on her face.

But when her gaze fell on Akanishi-sama, Sakura's smile froze suddenly.

Strangely, after being pointed out by her, Master Akanishi was not only not nervous, but instead looked confident, with a smile on his lips.

Sakura paused for breath, and something seemed to flash in her mind, but before she could catch it, the general asked Akanishi-sama: "Akanishi-kun, where did your painting come from? Do you agree with what Sakura said? no?"

The general had never seen the painting of Sakura Shintoku, and based on his knowledge of oil painting, the brighter the color of oil painting, the better.But one thing Sakura guessed right, he really didn't want Akanishi Xingzawa to have any unreasonable thoughts because of his love for this oil painting.

Recently, Kyoto has just vacated the position of right soldier guard, and many people are tempted. Akanishi Xingzawa is no exception. He begged many people in private. If he can still get the support of the general now, then he is almost sure of winning.

The general doesn't mind if Akanishi Xingzawa takes the position of right soldier guard, after all, he is quite knowledgeable about current affairs and capable, but it is necessary to make things difficult for him, so that he can remember his favor even more, and he is determined Follow yourself, don't you?

"General Mingjian." Master Akanishi bowed deeply to the general, and then said to Sakura: "Miss Sakura's words are true, it seems that you really admire the painting of Natsukawa Qingquan?"

Sakura said: "Naturally. Mr. Xia Chuan has excellent painting skills and profound knowledge. I have collected a lot of his paintings, and all of them are top-grade."

Akanishi-sama nodded suddenly, but suddenly showed a puzzled expression, "Hey, but since Ms. Sakura knows Xia Chuan Qingquan so well, she shouldn't be unable to see it."

Before Sakura could react, he said to the general: "General, to tell you the truth, this painting was entrusted to a friend by a subject. After many twists and turns, I finally found a Westerner who was good at oil painting. And that person," he said. Glancing at Sakura lightly, he raised his voice a little, "My lord, that person...that person is Xiachuan Qingquan!"

The air seemed to freeze, and there was a sudden silence on the high platform.

Sakura took a breath, and the expression on her face instantly changed a hundred times. If it wasn't for the thick layer of white powder on her face, the paper-pale face underneath would probably reveal her thoughts at the moment.

How can it be!The person who painted this picture could be Xia Chuan Qingquan?

She told the general just now that the author of this painting was not as good as Xia Chuan Qingquan, but then Akanishi-sama said that the author of this painting was Xia Chuan Qingquan. Isn't this a slap in the face?

The report of the present world came so fast that people were so caught off guard.

The general caught a glimpse of the panicked cherry blossoms from the corner of his eye, and after a long silence, he raised his eyes and asked Akanishi-sama: "You mean, the author of this painting is Xia Chuan Qingquan?"

Master Chixi said confidently: "Exactly! General, my servant invited Xia Chuan Qingquan to come here today. He is waiting under the high platform at the moment. Do you want to invite him up?"

The general gently stroked the wine glass in his hand, "Then please come up."

So there was the scene that Saiwei saw when he first came up...

Sakura seemingly sincerely praised Sai Wei's painting skills and then ignored him. She swung her head and ran back to the general and knelt down. The clues in the painting made a big joke, which made the general and Master Akanishi laugh."

She figured it out, she had to bear this oolong all by herself, otherwise the general must have something against her in his heart.

The general was really dissatisfied with Sakura at first, thinking that she had lost his face, but now the beauty has already admitted her mistake first, and the quiet daughter's fragrance wafted over her body, intoxicating, so the dissatisfaction in my heart It gradually faded away.

"You, I still don't see enough." The general pulled her closer, and put his arms around her shoulders lightly, "But don't blame yourself, Akanishi-kun will not care about you if you think about it. In the future, the general will show you more , will naturally distinguish between good and bad.”

When the general opened his mouth, Lord Akanishi naturally said a bunch of good things, and Sakura was happy to find her a step down, staring at the general with a pair of apricot eyes gratefully and nostalgicly.

The general finally has nothing to worry about, but Xia Chuanqingquan who made her embarrassing...

In a place where no one can see, Sakura's eyes suddenly turned cold, she gritted her silver teeth, although reason told her that Xiachuan Qingquan could not be blamed for this incident, but she still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.If she wanted to exonerate herself and convince herself that she was not at fault, she had to find someone to complain and vent her anger.

Akanishi-sama and her have never met, so Akanishi-sama is not suitable, then... only Xia Chuanqingquan is the only one.

My dearest Qingquan-kun, how much benefit did Akanishi-sama give you, so that you could turn away from me and paint for Akanishi-sama?

Did you just feed the dog the words you promised to know everything and never keep a secret from her?

With cold eyes, she looked Xia Chuan Qingquan up and down, and when she saw the cat he was holding in his hand, she suddenly paused.

The kitten is only a fluffy ball the size of a palm. It doesn't seem to know what's going on here. It curls up and nestles in its owner's arms, closing its eyes and resting on its own.

Sakura suddenly remembered that Qingquan-kun's estrangement from her began when she met this cat.

This is probably... not a cat that can bring good luck.

The sound of the general's two stupid sons begging the general's wife for sweets came to his ears, and Sakura had a good idea in his heart.
