I am a consultant in Kaifeng

Yang Silang went to Baiwei Study.

I also brought a pair of authentic paintings by Peng Laike, a painter who is said to be hard to find in the market today.

Spring to autumn.

The ginkgo tree in the backyard of Baiwei Study turned into a golden color in autumn.

Du Xiaoning held the fish food in his hand and stood by the Fengshui pool to feed the fish.

Yang Silang clasped his arms around his chest and said, "Ah Ning is too mean. I brought the original penglaike to see you, but you only care about feeding the fish."

Du Xiaoning threw the fish food in his hand into the feng shui pond, and two koi came over leisurely wagging their tails.

"Peng Laike disappeared a long time ago, where is the authentic work?"

Peng Laike was a very famous painter ten years ago. When he became famous, Du Xiaoning was still living a carefree life in later generations.

The reason why I heard about this person is because King Duan Zhao Qi admired Penglai Ke very much.

As we all know, Duan Wang has dabbled in all kinds of calligraphy and painting, especially calligraphy and painting.

Before Du Xiaoning was considered a foster daughter by Du Ruoyu, she had stayed with King Duan for a period of time, and she was familiar with the name Penglaike.

It is rumored that Penglaike's painting skills are superb, and the current emperor even thought of calling him into the court as an imperial painter.

But Peng Laike loves glory and wealth but loves freedom more. Even though the current emperor is full of sincerity, he still chooses freedom.

Since that face-to-face meeting, Penglaike has no new works.

As for Peng Laike, he disappeared from sight.

Even so, from time to time there are paintings of so-called Penglai Ke circulated among the people. Whether those paintings are true or false is mostly clear at a glance.There are also high-quality fakes. Wang Duan once collected two fakes that can be confused with the real ones.

Du Xiaoning knows how to draw and has a certain ability to appreciate paintings, but he is far behind Duan Wang.

So she didn't understand what Yang Silang would do if he really got the authentic penglaike's work and came to her.

Du Xiaoning threw all the fish food in his hand into the Fengshui pool, turned around and gave Yang Silang a glance.

"If the painting in your hand is really the original work of Peng Laike, then the person you should be looking for should be King Duan."

Yang Silang smiled meaningfully, and said in a dawdly way: "Prince Duan is a lover of painting, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it when he sees the painting in my hand."

He couldn't help saying that he wanted to pull Du Xiaoning's hand.

"A-Ning, come, let me show you."

Du Xiaoning avoided his hand in time and looked at him with clear eyes.

Yang Silang raised his eyebrows, "It's just a handshake, it's not a girl's house, why not?"

Du Xiaoning smiled, "I don't like being so close to people."

Yang Silang thought that it was not like this when you were with Zhan Zhao from Kaifeng Mansion.

However, people have close ties, Yang Silang is no closer to Zhan Zhao in Du Xiaoning's heart, and it's not uncommon for him.

Thinking about it this way, seeing Du Xiaoning put his hands behind his back again, he looked a little childish.

He couldn't help laughing, and said in a tone as if coaxing a child, "I'm not kidding you, come and have a look."

Du Xiaoning walked over.

Yang Silang unfolded the scroll, and it was a picture of bathing in fire.

The sky is boundless, and under the sky, the earth is ignited with raging fire.In the midst of the flames, a woman with a graceful figure danced among them. The corner of her skirt caught fire, but there was no panic.She was like a goddess born from the fire, with a relaxed and gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, her head raised slightly, and she rushed towards the flames with the corner of her skirt.

Du Xiaoning was slightly startled.

She can't tell the truth from the fake.

If it is a fake, the painter must be extremely talented.

Yang Silang looked at her expression, his face stained with a bit of complacency, "How? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Du Xiaoning: "Whether you lied to me or not, don't you know?"

Yang Silang choked when he heard the words.

To be honest, he wasn't quite sure whether it was genuine or a fake.

Yang Silang was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "I really don't know what to do."

Du Xiaoning: ""

The two stared at each other.

The golden ginkgo leaves fell from the branches, Du Xiaoning sighed suddenly, sat on the chair next to her, tapped the table with her white fingers, and said very clearly: "Tell me, this time I want to help you with Miss Li again. What are you doing there?"

If Du Xiaoning was playing charades with Yang Silang, Yang Silang would still be half-truthy with her for a long time.

But Yang Silang was inexplicably embarrassed by Du Xiaoning's familiar appearance.

In fact, what he said about brotherhood with Du Xiaoning was pure nonsense.

Everyone came out to play in Bianjing, laughing and joking and calling each other brothers and sisters was just a play on the occasion.A few months ago when he asked about the Xianlou, he even set up a trick to wait for Du Xiaoning to jump.

Although Du Xiaoning was smart and didn't jump into the trap he set up, but speaking of it, he was the one who calculated first.

He didn't expect that there would be a day when he would ask Du Xiaoning for help.

It's really human beings who count as gods.

Yang Silang tried his best, but he never thought that he would fall in love with that big girl in the Li family.

What's more, Li Zhen and Li Ping, siblings, had blind trust in Du Xiaoning and Kaifeng Mansion.A few days ago, the emperor said that he should also marry a wife. If there is really no one he likes, it is better to leave the lifelong affairs to the queen.The family that the empress has found for him must be good, not only can he be on good terms with him, but also help him.

Yang Silang was so frightened that he hurriedly said that he had a favorite family, and asked someone to talk about marriage when he got home.

He asked someone to go to Li's mansion to say goodbye, but Li Zhen sent a message that she would wholeheartedly accompany her younger brother to grow up, take over the family business, and never marry.

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

No, the fact that he failed to marry has already spread throughout Bianjing.

When I was in Yuqian the day before yesterday, I happened to meet Zhan Zhao.

Master Zhan didn't change his face when he saw him, and said casually: "Governor Yang seems to be proud of his love, and he is very popular no matter where he is, but in fact, he is clumsy."

Yang Silang frowned, and was about to retort.

But Zhan Zhao glanced at him again, "You want to marry Ms. Li, why don't you find Xiaoning? Ms. Li's younger brother, Xiao Pingzi, usually likes to play in Baiwei Study. He likes Xiao Ning very much. If you let Xiao Pingzi I like you as much as I like Xiao Ning, Miss Li may look at you more."

Mr. Zhan's words were obviously meant to be a bit of a joke.

But when Yang Silang heard it, he thought it was okay.

It just so happened that he got a painting a few days ago, which he said was made by Peng Laike.

It is said that the authentic works of Peng Laike are hard to come by, and he brought this painting to Du Xiaoning, which is enough to show his sincerity.

Thinking of the previous twists and turns, Yang Silang suddenly didn't feel embarrassed anymore.

My lady, my gentleman is good.

Li Zhen is a good girl, he likes it, and wants to marry her back to the mansion, it's only right and proper.

Thinking about it this way, Yang Silang suddenly felt calm.

He sat down on the chair opposite Du Xiaoning, took a sip of hot tea from the teacup, and explained clearly the reason for his visit very frankly.

"Ah Ning, I know that you have a grudge against me because you asked about the fairy tower. If I had known that Changqing had such thoughts, I would not have allowed her to set up a trap to harm Ren Minling. But people cannot be resurrected after death. In my heart No matter how annoyed and guilty she is, Ren Minling won't be able to come back. It is said that it is better to destroy a temple than tear up a marriage, and Zhener and I are a perfect match, so why don't you just take advantage of your adult beauty?"

Du Xiaoning laughed angrily at Yang Silang's cheekiness.

"Silang, you can't call out the girl's boudoir name at will. If you want to marry Miss Li, you can treat him with courtesy."

Yang Silang crossed his legs, "What does it matter? The words came out of my mouth and entered into your ears, and no third person knew."

Du Xiaoning sighed, not wanting to waste time with him, "I've seen the painting too, but I don't particularly like it. I'm afraid that you're so nice to me all of a sudden."

Yang Silang: ""

Yang Silang made fun of himself, sneered, "Excellent."

Du Xiaoning raised her hand and rubbed the center of her brows, thinking that it would be no good if she got involved with him, what would she do with that?

Yang Silang was not annoyed when he bumped into a soft nail in Baiwei Study with the unknown Penglaike painting.After he put the painting away, he walked a few steps, then turned his head and asked Du Xiaoning, "You just looked at it for a long time, why didn't you ask me what the painting is called?"

Du Xiaoning: "What name?"

Yang Silang smiled brightly, "I won't tell you."

Du Xiaoning:? ? ?

what the hell.

Yang Silang had already left with the painting in his arms.

After a while, she heard footsteps coming towards the backyard.

That was the sound of Zhan Zhao's footsteps.

In fact, people who practice martial arts mostly walk silently.The adults in Kaifeng Mansion are like this, and so is Zhan Zhao.But they both have amazing hearing, so no matter whether each other walks with sound or silently, as long as they are close, they can detect each other.

Only Gongsun Ce and Du Xiaoning, two masters of martial arts, were often startled by their silent appearance.

After Du Xiaoning was frightened by Zhan Zhao once, whenever Zhan Zhao went to find her, he would deliberately make some noises.

Zhan Zhao stopped by the Fengshui pool. He was tall and tall in royal blue.

Du Xiaoning raised his eyes and looked at the majestic Mr. Zhan, "Master Zhan, are you done with your work?"

"I'm done." With a slight smile on Zhan Zhao's handsome face, he walked towards Du Xiaoning, "The third son agreed to buy me a drink today."

Du Xiaoning smiled and said "Yes".

Zhan Zhao walked over, "What is Yang Silang doing here?"

Du Xiaoning raised his eyes and bent his phoenix eyes, "Master Zhan really doesn't know?"

Immediately, Zhan Zhao thought of the sarcasm about Yang Silang a few days ago, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Through Du Xiaoning's approach to Xiaopingzi, he just casually said that if Yang Silang hadn't already had this plan in mind, he would never have gone to Baiwei Study to find Du Xiaoning.

But there are some words that cannot be justified casually, and if they are justified, they will appear to be sophistry.

Therefore Master Zhan confessed his mistake to Du Xiaoning very wisely, "I'm to blame for this."

Du Xiaoning didn't mind this.

If Li Zhen really wanted to marry, and Yang Silang wanted to marry so much, it would be fine for her to be the go-between.

It's just that since Li Zhen has rejected Yang Silang's marriage proposal, she can't be too troublesome.

Du Xiaoning turned her head sideways, her phoenix eyes looked up and down at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao was a little confused by her look, "Third Young Master, why do you look at me like that?"

The third young master rested his chin on one hand and said with a smile, "Because Mr. Zhan is pretty."

The third young master in front of him had picturesque eyes, and was immersed in a smile, and his sudden words made Zhan Zhao's heart skip a beat.

Before Zhan Zhao could speak, Du Xiaoning asked again: "A prodigal like Yang Silang now has a place to live, and Mr. Zhan has already reached the age to talk about marriage. Why hasn't he married a wife?"
