Painter

Zuo Qizhi was a very handsome middle-aged man, with a majestic and dignified face, dressed in a crow green brocade robe, and he carried his demeanor with every gesture.

When he said delivering medicine, he really just delivered medicine.They sent people to bring Mu Yueguan and Baiqian into the mansion, assigned a doctor with superb medical skills, three meals a day, tea and cakes, and silver charcoal for the stove, specially picked and delivered.Other than that, there is no other action.

Bai Qian was a little anxious by his frank and upright attitude, always worried that there were some deeper schemes hidden under the skin.On the other hand, he was also worried about the paintbrush that was taken away by Jingxi, and couldn't figure out what Jingxi was doing.The scene seen in the underground dark workshop is also shaking in his mind, and some clues are connected in series, but more problems are involved.

Bai Qian worked hard, not daring to relax.

Mu Yueguan came in from the outside, Bai Qian signaled her to close the door, and when she got closer, he lowered his voice and asked, "How about the big hole?"

"It's a big mess. Qu Miaoen heard that there were thieves wearing her tianluo brocade, so she came straight to Xingshi to ask the crime, and left the emperor in her own territory. Cousin Jingxi is usually not serious, and he will give away things if he sees something pleasing to the eye. Well, he himself doesn't know anyone who has won the Qinggang Dao. The Zuo family can't get away with it either, those two people have their candy jade pendants on them."

"Where's the Ming family?"

"Old man Ming said that the ghost mask must be worn by the dead in his family, but for some reason the two thieves and the people in the cave have it."

Bai Qian thought for a while: "You also follow Qu Miaoen to make trouble."

Mu Yueguan raised her face, pouted and said, "I'll go if you don't tell me! How can you let it go if you hurt yourself like this?"

Bai Qian wanted him to use this excuse, so he asked again: "What about the many people locked in the big hole?"

Mu Yueguan regretted: "I don't know what kind of magic they used, they all escaped."

Bai Qian earnestly begged Mu Yueguan: "Can you do me another favor? Find those people and see where they have been transferred."

Mu Yueguan lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes for a moment, but still blinked and lifted his eyelids to peek at Baiqian, and said coquettishly: "What did you say, I came here this time just for you. Don't say one thing, ten things are a hundred things." I will go too."

Her ending sounded coquettish, and before Bai Qian could finish it, a knock on the door interrupted the conversation.

Zuo Qizhi took official steps, sat down on the grand teacher's chair, calm and relaxed.

Bai Qian smiled and said: "I can't get up, Master Zuo please don't care about the impoliteness."

Zuo Qizhi gestured with his hand, and comforted him: "I was pleading on behalf of Nizi, but I hope that Mr. Ning is magnanimous. I am really sorry that the bastard caused the son to be seriously injured. I have already punished him to face the wall. In January, if you are dissatisfied, Young Master, I will let you deal with it!"

Bai Qian replied: "If it wasn't for Mr. Zuo, who would have known that Danying had hidden a big tunnel. Mr. Zuo deserves a reward."

Zuo Qizhi waved his hand, signaling the servant girl who was accompanying him to go out, poured a cup of tea by himself, looked at Mu Yueguan, and then at Bai Qian: "I don't know why Miss Mu and Young Master Ning are here at Danying? "

Mu Yueguan raised his eyebrows: "You can play, can't you?"

Zuo Qizhi looked at Bai Qian steadfastly, feeling slightly regretful: "So Zuo guessed wrong? Originally, I thought that if the young master's trip was exactly what Zuo was thinking, he would try his best to help the young master succeed. "

Bai Qian was a little dizzy from being surrounded by him, and always felt that there was something in these words.Sitting up with support, leaning against the bed rail, Bai Qian asked: "I can't guess what Mr. Zuo is thinking."

Zuo Qizhi pointed to the south, and said bluntly: "I always think that local materials are the most effective use, and Zemu should be managed by the Mu family at the foot of Qiaoze Mountain. Besides, if you search Huaiyuan, who else can paint it?" Can the skill of utensils be higher than that of Mr. Mu?"

Both Bai Qian and Mu Yueguan were shocked by these words, and they didn't quite believe what he said.Mu Yueguan questioned: "In this selection, your Zuo family also vowed to get Zemu!"

Zuo Qizhi shook his head: "The emperor wants to watch the excitement, who would dare to spoil his interest? You can rest assured, the old man is here to assure that the Zuo family will never be greedy for Zemu. When the young master's injury improves, there is no need to avoid suspicion. Just go and visit the palace!"

Bai Qian was skeptical at first, but when he was able to act, Zuo Qizhi really sent someone to take him to see the palace.

The palace was built outside the city, and Bai Qian looked around, except for "big" and "hua", he couldn't see anything new.Turning the wheelchair, he walked around the entire palace, and even carefully studied the emperor's bedroom.The people from the Zuo family really didn't stop him, allowing him to ponder over there.

It took Bai Qian two days to ask Wan Zhu to draw the floor plan of the palace.After carefully marking a lot of notes, he rolled up the brocade cloth and let Wan Zhu send it out.

That night Zuo Qizhi came again, and after Bai Qian drank the medicine, he asked: "Will the things that Young Master Ning intends be accomplished?"

Bai Qian quickly put down the medicine bowl, bowed his hands and saluted: "Half. I just don't know why Master Zuo wanted to help me?"

Zuo Qizhi said with a smile: "Since I don't fight for those Zemu, I might as well sell you my favor. However, the palace affairs will definitely arouse the emperor's anger, and Zuo still wants to ask the young master for a life-saving talisman!"

Bai Qian understood, nodded and said: "When the matter is settled, I will not forget Master Zuo's help."

Zuo Qizhi didn't bother, and nodded: "It's good that Mr. Ning won't forget."

On the second day, Zuo Qizhi came to see him off in person, and there was a lot of battle.Bai Qian didn't understand the human relationship in the officialdom, and he couldn't figure out what Zuo Qizhi was thinking.He only hoped that Zemu's matter would be successful, and then he would pay back his favor, and he would not owe him anything.

Bai Qian was in a hurry to get on the road, but Mu Yueguan never understood.After driving for two days, the carriage hurried away from Danying City.Then there was a sound, and in the blink of an eye, there was an extra person in the carriage.

Mu Yueguan almost screamed in fright, but Bai Qian sat up instantly.The blanket on his body also fell off, his face was thin and ugly, but his eyes stared at the other party with sparkle: "Is the thing with you!?"

Jingxi let out an "um", and handed over an extremely tightly wrapped bundle.Bai Qian couldn't wait to open it, and counted the contents inside.

Jingxi asked, "Is it enough?"

Bai Qian counted it several times, and carefully recalled the amount he purchased at that time, and replied: "Two pens are missing. But it's not a problem, this sum can withstand wear and tear."

Mu Yueguan came over curiously, and reached out to fiddle with the things on the table.Before the hand was close, there was a pain in the wrist and the back of the hand.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Two whipping sounds came out almost at the same time, Jing Xi quickly withdrew her hand, but Bai Qian froze in place, and said after a long while: "Sorry... I... had a reflex. I..."

The little girl has been pampered by others for more than ten years and has never suffered.This time, he came chasing Bai Qian after a long journey, was tied up, surrounded by people, and suffered a lot of grievances.Now he was actually beaten by Bai Qian, his eyes were red then, pointing at Bai Qian, then pointing at Jing Xi, he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Bai Qian hurriedly said: "This is my paintbrush, don't be angry, can I give you something good I draw?"

Mu Yueguan shook his fingers for a long time, then suddenly flung his sleeves and rushed out.Immediately there was a horse neighing outside, and Mu Yueguan rode the horse and ran away.

Bai Qian couldn't move, he was in such a hurry.However, Jingxi seemed to be okay, just focusing on wandering.Bai Qian could only ask Wan Zhu for help, and almost lamented: "Hurry up and go there. She is a child, and she has that kind of temper. She will definitely suffer by herself."

Wan Zhu looked at Jingxi hesitantly, and finally thought that his young lady was more important, so he chased her out.

Bai Qian ordered Pei Shan to go in the direction Mu Yueguan left.Jingxi said, "Mu Qingjian's hidden guards will follow, she is much safer than you."

Bai Qian sighed and said, "Even so, I'm still worried."

"Then you shouldn't hit her."

Bai Qian was startled, and explained with an expression: "I... I'm scared."

Jingxi was silent.

Bai Qian added: "When I was at Zuo's house, I couldn't sleep. I don't know if you took my things and ran away, or you should keep them for me first."

"custody."

Bai Qian smiled, with relief: "Well, I know now."

Jingxi pointed to the things on the desk: "What is this?"

Bai Qian hesitated for a moment, then raised his head to meet Jing Xi's eyes.Like his expression, it was always "nothing".There is no expression, no fluctuation in the eyes, no emotion.

It always looks like an ancient well, but also like a tree hole.Pour all your secrets into it and never worry about being known.

It was such an inexplicable state again.

Bai Qian pointed to his paintbrush, and explained one by one: "This is a g-pen, which works the same as a brush, except that the tip is hard. This is a pencil, with carbon inside the wooden case, for primer. There is also a mechanical pencil , 925 Shide Building, this is the most used. These are manuscript paper, a kind of...another recording tool. I can't tell you how to make it. I am now affiliated with the Mu family. Others include erasers, which are used to erase Pencil. Triangular ruler..."

"Try." Jingxi interrupted him suddenly.

Holding a facial pencil, Bai Qian stopped explaining: "Say, try drawing?"

"Um"

Bai Qian took a deep breath, pulled out a piece of manuscript paper, and spread it on the desk.The carriage shook, Bai Qian called out: "Pei Shan, stop first."

When the shaking stopped, Bai Qian looked around and fixed his eyes on the bronze stove in the corner.The flat and round heater has wide and thick handles, a light and thin top cover, and evenly distributed through-holes.Bai Qian changed a pencil and leaned over to draw.

No sense of powerlessness!There is no strange feeling, just like countless days and nights spent at the desk to catch up on drafts.The lines flow under the pen tip, making a small "rustling" sound, which is the most beautiful melody in the world.

Bai Qian almost burst into tears, sniffed, and continued to complete the painting of the teapot.Jingxi's breathing was also suppressed, slow and long, as if waiting for some miracle.

Bai Qian picked up the pen, and habitually pressed his thumb on the tip of the pen.However, nothing happened on the manuscript paper, and the fireplace was three-dimensional and lifelike, but it did not become real.

Bai Qian was startled, and then realized that he hadn't succeeded.

This is the biggest blow since coming to this world.When someone robbed the package, I thought I could get it back again.When I fail to paint, I think it's okay, it's just that the brush is not smooth.

Now I have the paintbrush, the tools are complete, the paper is not broken, and the ink is not spilled.But I still didn't draw it.

Bai Qian was still holding a pencil in his hand, and he didn't have the strength to lift it anymore.

The back of her hand felt hot, and Jing Xi's hand covered her.The palm is rough, with consistent heat.Like some unknown energy source.

Jingxi looked at Bai Qian and said, "Those, try them all."
