Not long after, the curtain was lifted, and the waiter walked in first, holding a tray in his hand and spreading the dishes on the table. Shanbao's mind was behind him, and he had no intention of looking at the dishes, but stared at them.

The woman who came in looked sharply.

I saw this woman's black hair was tied up high, with a trembling pearl and jade hairpin stuck on it. Her neck was snow-white, she had light eyebrows and phoenix eyes and thin lips. She smiled before she said anything. Although she was not particularly beautiful, she was dressed in bright red and raised her head.

The way she held her chest out showed a different kind of spirit, as if even if the sky fell, she wouldn't be able to stop her. When people saw her, their worries would disappear and their hearts would be won over.

The woman first squatted towards Gao Qi and made a Wanfu gesture. When she glanced at Shan Bao, her eyes flashed brightly and she said with a smile: "Okay, my lord, this young master is so talented. Why don't you introduce him to the slave family!"

Shanbao was wearing a guard uniform and looked handsome and handsome. No wonder the woman was curious.

Gao Qi smiled slightly and said, "Don't look at your young age, but you are a third-class cavalry captain and a royal blue-ling bodyguard. My predecessor Li Ru's case of killing an official caused a storm in the city. Didn't you always want to meet that man?"

The 'strong man' who kills people at the pier and beats the drum, this is him!"

"Ah?" The woman held the handkerchief and covered her mouth fiercely. She raised her eyebrows and looked frightened. Then she smiled and said, "My dear Master Shanbao, you have brought trouble to my family. I have been thinking about it all this time."

The person who did such an earth-shattering thing must be a strong man with a beautiful beard and a height of seven feet. You..."

"What? Are you disappointed?" Shanbao interrupted, with a hint of displeasure on his face, but he was not angry in his heart, but felt a sense of familiarity. He always felt that this woman was somewhat similar to his good friend in later generations.

, couldn't help but want to tease her.

"My family is timid, please don't scare me. In fact, you can't blame your family. That's what the Mr. Gu'erci described in his mouth. You don't know that now your name has spread to many young and old girls."

My daughter-in-law is thinking about you in her heart - I will see you again tomorrow, and I will paint you anew, so that all the young ladies and young daughters-in-law will know that I am not only a hero, but also more handsome than Pan An.

You are a talented young man. When the time comes, when the wall is low enough not to block prying eyes, he will be a good boy to your family!"

The woman said with a smile, while pouring wine from a white porcelain pot with a thin neck.

Gao Qi burst into laughter: "Qing Jing is quite courageous. First he compared Shan Bao to Pan An, and now he compares him to Song Yu. Is this a curse for people to lose their ambitions in life?"

"The master is teasing me again," Qing Jing smiled and said with a trembling flower branch: "You know clearly that the slave family didn't mean that. Come on, if I make a mistake, I'd like to offer you a drink to Mr. Shanbao to make up for the sin."

As he spoke, he filled the bull's-eye-sized cup in front of him with wine, picked up the cup with his bare hands and said, "First, I apologize, and second, I wish you a smooth career, a rise to the third level, and a full drink, please do as you please."

, bowed from a distance, raised his neck and drank it, neither covering his mouth with a handkerchief nor showing off, his movements were bold and bold, quite like the style of an ancient chivalrous woman.

Shanbao was originally good at drinking, but since Fukang Anjia got drunk that day, he was a little afraid of this drink. However, seeing that Qing Jing was waiting for him with the bottom of the glass open, he didn't want to be looked down upon, so he held his nose and drank.

, just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard someone calling Qing Jing's name outside the door. He couldn't help but be startled. He saw the woman's face suddenly changed, her brows furrowed with a look of disgust, and she knelt down and said, "There are some trivial matters, please drink slowly, sir.

Come as soon as you leave!" After saying this, he left in a hurry without waiting for the two of them to say anything.

"Is this...?" Shanbao looked at Gao Qi in confusion, saw him curling his lips, and sighed:

"How do you say this... She was originally an official, but now she shows up and does this despicable business with a smiling face. She is nothing more than a beauty with a bad life! It's disappointing to say that, let's not talk about her. Come on, let's continue, you

When you say you're hungry, you make me hungry too."

Qingjing didn't appear again until after dinner, and Gao Qi didn't mention it again. Shan Bao became curious, so he returned home, first greeted Wu Mishi, and then forced Gao Qi to him.

He handed her a thousand taels of silver notes and told her: "When Liu Quan comes back, give him five hundred taels. If he wants to ask why, just ask him to come to me."

Mrs. Wu nodded and did not ask the reason or the origin of the banknote. Instead, she frowned and said, "Wenwen came here again a while ago... I saw that girl is really passionate about you. I want to

Why don't you go find Ying Lian? You have just become an official and have no backing in the court. It is not worth offending Mr. Feng for no reason... If you can't bear to lose face, I will go for you? "

Everything is really complicated! Shanbao's head was getting bigger and he sighed: "We'll talk about it later... By the way, Hong, where are Yindi and the others?" Hongxing was used to calling her aunt, so she was really not used to calling her aunt.

"I heard that Liu Yong returned to Beijing from Shanxi to report on his work. Zhao Dezhu was a good friend of Liu Yong during his lifetime. Hongxing and Liu Yong's wife were also familiar with each other. After you and Fubao left yesterday, the Liu family sent someone to post the post. Hongxing

The two of you left early this morning."

Liu Chongru is back? Shanbao was stunned and thought, should he go over and visit the future bachelor who had his house stolen? Then he thought, anyway, he and Liu Tongxun got along well, and they would meet one day in the future.

What a hasty visit.

The charcoal fire had been lighted long ago, and the room of Mrs. Wu was as warm as spring. She only wore a home-style plain robe, which was loosely worn and had a lazy charm. Shanbao accompanied her and chatted about home affairs, smelling the smell in the room.

After a while, I felt like I was sitting on pins and needles. I quickly said I was tired and hurried out of Wu Mi's room. I was blown by the cold wind and felt refreshed.

Looking at the sun, it was late in the afternoon and there was still some time before dinner. Shanbao suddenly remembered the portrait he had promised Fu Kang'an, so he went to the kitchen to find charcoal and went back to the house to spread paper for painting.

In these days of spending time with Fukang'an day and night, his figure seemed to be imprinted in Shanbao's mind. He didn't even have to bother to recall it. He just drew it in one stroke and over a cup of tea. Except for the fact that he didn't have a pencil, it was a little rough.

, but also lifelike.

After not painting for a few days, Shanbao simply recalled the faces of Fu Heng and Qianlong Fu Chang'an, and painted a picture for each of them. This time it took some time. By the time Fu Chang'an's portrait was ready, the sun had already set in the west.

Behind the wall, the room became dark.

There was nothing wrong with painting, my mind was clear, and all my mind was focused on the creation of characters. During this free time, chaotic thoughts poured into Shanbao's mind like a flood. Qianlong, Fu Heng, Gao Qi

, Fukang'an, Liu Tongxun, Liu Yong, Gao Heng, Feng Wenwen, Yinglian, Tanger... one by one, figures were spinning in his mind like a revolving lantern. He took the charcoal and smeared it on the paper at will, until Wu Mishi appeared.

He was called to dinner outside the door, and then he woke up from his deep thoughts.

"What are you writing? Can you still read it?" Mrs. Wu opened the door and came in, holding a lantern in her hand. She put it on the table and looked at the white paper under Shanbao. When she glanced at it, she saw a crooked word. Carefully,

I can identify it. It seems to be written in the song "Eye'er Mei". I can't see anything else clearly, but it is the last sentence: "...The orchid lanterns have just come on, the night fragrance has begun to linger, and I look alone at the dark window." It feels refreshing, and my pretty face heats up, and I spat.

After taking a sip, Shanbao hurriedly rushed to the middle of the room and stretched out his body. He said, "Come over quickly to eat, it will get cold in a while." Then he walked out of the room. He even forgot to take the lantern.

"Mom, please slow down, lantern, lantern..." Shanbao was surprised, wondering why he ran away after seeing my painting. Could it be that he thought the painting was not good? No way, he picked up the white paper on the table and

Looking at the lantern, I found that there was a poem written crookedly on the portrait of Fu Chang'an at the top, but it was sung by Tang'er when she was dancing solo under the moon that day. I couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook my head. Just as I was about to throw away the paper basket, I screamed.
