Texue dealt with chores every day, and Lin Xi occasionally listened to it and felt that he needed to lie down and rest for a few hours.
Really untouchable.
——
Lu Yan came to visit the Duke's Mansion and brought five paintings that he had finished in a hurry.
Lin Xi was taking a nap at the time. After He Chirang learned about it, he took the initiative to lead him to his yard.
He Chirang unfolded the paintings one by one and lowered his head to observe. Although his painting skills could not be compared with those of famous artists, they were pretty good.
It's just that the content of the painting is not elegant, and I don't know why I painted it.
He Chirang: "I painted so many pictures in two days. Is this because I stayed up late?"
Lu Yan coughed slightly, his voice a little weak: "Since it is what Miss Lin wants, I will do it no matter what. I am very happy to be able to help a little."
"Your body is the most important thing. Don't do this next time." He Chirang sighed, thought for a while and asked again, "She is too difficult for you."
A shy smile appeared on Lu Yan's face.
"No, in fact, Miss Lin cares about me very much. She even said that day that if I left her, she would shoot me to death with an arrow."
"Shoot her to death? How could she talk like this?" He Chirang was a little dizzy, so he turned around and went to find his sister to talk properly.
Although he was shocked, when he thought about it carefully, it seemed like something Maomao could say.
Lu Yan quickly stopped the person and said, "Brother He, she was just joking. If you go to her, Miss Lin will think that I deliberately complained. I didn't mean that."
He Chirang sighed: "I know you are not, and you don't have to be too accommodating to her. You yourself are also very precious."
Lu Yan lowered his gaze: "But I don't think she did anything wrong. And she definitely won't shoot me to death, she will just say a few words to me at most."
He Chirang: "..."
How can you do this? You won't have to be bullied by Maomao every day in the future.
—
Lin Xi woke up and heard that Lu Yan was in his brother's yard, so he went there.
Now that the painting was done, she could just ask someone to pick it up, so there was no need to deliver it in person.
Before she could ask, her brother spoke first.
"Maomao, you need to restrain your temper from now on. Lu Yan has a good temper, so you two should get along well with each other."
Lin Xi looked at the person next to him and asked with his eyes: What did you say again?
Lu Yan smiled back: "To let people know that we have a good relationship."
Lin Xi rolled his eyes. Did you make a mistake? Others don't act like it, but you don't act like it.
You can even become a pillar in the Nanqu troupe!
Forget it, for the sake of these paintings, I'll just jounin. Putting aside everything else, at least these paintings are well done.
Not only does this guy have a good-looking face, he can also be used.
She is much more tolerant towards useful people.
Lin Xi had someone send Lu Yan away, and also gave him many medicinal materials and supplements. There are too many of these things in the Duke's Mansion, and the emperor gave many precious medicinal materials.
She didn't care much about how long Lu Yan could live, but it was best if he could survive these three years.
Lin Xi put away the scroll he sent and then thought about the painting sent by the Queen Mother.
She found it and hung it in her brother's study just right.
When Lin Xi was hanging the painting, He Chirang happened to be out of the house to meet a scholar from his hometown.
When he came back in the evening, he was stunned when he saw the paintings on the wall.
After standing in front of the painting and looking at it for half an hour, he sent someone from his house to call Lin Xi.
He Chirang asked with a surprised look on his face: "Is this the Orchid and Bamboo Picture by the painter Gu Buxing?"
Lin Xi: "The Queen Mother said that this person painted it. Brother, you are really awesome, you can tell from this."
He Chirang: "It's not that I know him, I have Gu Buxing's signature."
Lin Xi: "..."
He Chirang's voice was excited: "The calligraphy treasure of the Painting Saint is hard to come by, and it is even more precious. How can it be hung here like this?"
Wouldn't it be a pity if it got damaged.
Lin Xi didn't take it seriously and said: "The Queen Mother said that the emperor wanted this painting but she didn't give it to me, but she gave it to me. Brother, if you want something, no matter what it is, I can help you get it."
He Chirang carefully removed the painting, carefully wrapped it in oilcloth and sealed it for storage.
Hanging such a precious scroll every day will definitely affect the ink marks.
It is stored in the Duke's Mansion. I am lucky enough to occasionally borrow it and appreciate it.
My little sister can coax a monkey from a tree down if she wants to.
He Chirang was not surprised that she could win the favor of the Queen Mother.
It had only been less than half a year since she arrived in the capital, and everyone in the Duke's mansion still focused on her.
When Maomao was young and ignorant, she was just ruthless.
When I grow up a little, I know that it is better to win by outsmarting me, so I stop fighting and have all kinds of weird ideas.
Later, after learning martial arts, the two were combined...to become what they are now.
A carrier pigeon flew in the day before yesterday, and the Duke will arrive in the next two days.
I don’t know what the situation will be like then.
He Chirang thought for a moment and said in a very soft voice: "If you want to help brother achieve his wish, you must ensure that you are safe. No matter what, you must have a bottom line when doing things for others."
Lin Xi: "Of course."
Seeing her straightforward answer, He Chirang didn't quite believe it.
He looked at Shan Wu next to him, who was Maomao's closest guard.
"There is a bottom line." After a pause, Shan Wu added, "In the eighteenth level of hell."
You can't treat yourself like a mute every time this person looks over. Although it's hard to say it, you still have to say a word or two occasionally, otherwise it's not very polite.
But he's not very good at lying, especially to his own people.
"Actually, it's sending others to hell."
He Chirang: "..."
Shan Wu: "But Miss is a good person, that's for sure."
Finally made it clear.
Lin Xi looked away. In fact, you can always remain silent.
Those unnecessary expressions and politeness can be completely discarded.
As soon as he came out of his brother's yard, Lin Xi turned around and asked, "Why did you follow me here?"
Shan Wu: "On the day of the palace banquet, Su Yangyang will go. She is not in a good situation recently. She probably wants to help King Xin win the favor of the Holy Emperor."
He is a serious person, and he came here because of serious things.
The eldest lady asked him to send someone to keep an eye on Su Yangyang and King Xin. He didn't need to follow them all the time, but he must report any big moves.
Lin Xi: "You don't have to come and tell me now. You can tell me tomorrow."
She knew that Shan Wu had just returned home, so she came here.
He probably hasn't even had a sip of water or eaten yet.
During her stay at Baiyun Temple, she asked Shan Wu to visit Lu Yan.
When Lu Yan talked about this, she sighed strangely that her bodyguard could keep an eye on her without eating or sleeping.
I have to keep an eye on him even when I go to the toilet...it's just unbelievable.
When Lin Xi asked about it later, Shan Wu said that he had brought ten steamed buns and could continue to follow him for a few days.
At that time, Shan Wu's family encountered great changes. My sister Zhenyeol was killed by a bully, my mother cried blindly, and my two brothers were seriously injured.
There was no way to complain, and the whole family was almost burned to death.
He didn't know how many nobles he had knelt on, and how many times he had been scolded and beaten.
Kneeling before the British prince for the last time.
Finally, the evildoers are rewarded.
The brothers later joined the army, and he also developed martial arts.
He accepts death and will repay the great kindness of the father-in-law throughout his life.
Shan Wu: "As long as it is the eldest lady's order, that is the first priority."
"..."
What can Lin Xi do? It's good if your subordinates are honest.
Starting from tomorrow, she will write two more copybooks, which will surely make her progress faster.
Maybe if things get bad in the future, she can go out on the street to write letters and write couplets for a fee.
Although she wants to make any kind of money, this money... actually doesn't need to be made.
The author has something to say:
Lu Yan: Have you given up on green tea?
Shan Wu: Miss, I cry to death, even though the bottom line is the eighteenth level of hell, I still want to be a good person!
