An Ying asked as he walked: "What is Mr. Qingluan you just talked about?"
Liang Su fanned the wind and said, "Do you really think you don't know? Isn't that your tea shop in front of you? Please give me a break."
An Ying saw that he had really arrived at his tea shop, so he said to Su Huangzhe: "Sir, my tea shop is ahead of you. If you don't mind, go and have a rest. It's the time when the sun is shining brightly."
Liang Su curled her lips, "That's right, it was so comfortable to be in the Duke's Mansion of Qi. You insisted on avoiding Qi Yan, causing us to walk on the street when the sun was at its worst. Look, there is no one on the street, not even a good man. You’re making six months’ worth of money. If you continue to show off like this, your title as the number one son in the capital will be gone.”
An Ying asked curiously: "Why is Mr. Su hiding from his fiancée? She's already engaged, so what's there to hide from?"
Liang Su was about to say something when Su Huangzhe waved over and was shocked again. "Don't listen to his nonsense. Didn't you say that you would have to find the original Cheng family painter again in the afternoon?"
The three of them entered the tea shop, An Ying quickly arranged a private seat, and An Tinggui also came up specially to salute.
Su Huangzhe did not refuse and said with a smile: "Dad An is good at teaching his daughter, and An Ying has done a good job in the Criminal Department."
An Tinggui was not good at words, so he rubbed his hands and went out. After a while, food and drinks were brought in. Liang Su said while eating: "Did your father bring all the dishes in your shop?" , we can’t finish it in three days and three nights.”
An Ying asked the waiter to stop immediately, then thought about it and asked, "Are those wind masters from last time still there?"
The waiter said: "This time has not come yet, at least half an hour will pass. They are too lazy, otherwise they would not be wind masters. What does the eldest lady want to do with them?"
An Ying said: "If they come, ask them to come up. I have something to ask."
After An Ying sat down, Liang Su was eating tea soup, "I have long heard that your tea soup is good, and I tasted it today and it is indeed good. Will your family not perform a drama?"
An Ying ordered tea for Master Su and said, "It's too hot here, and all the guests who come here want to take a rest. The show usually starts after dinner."
An Ying watched Mr. Su drink the tea soup and said, "I heard some things from a few wind masters before, and I still have some doubts about a few points, so I thought about calling him and asking again. Unfortunately, no one is here at this time."
An Ying took a bite of Chengsha Dumpling and said, "That Feng Master was just sitting on the sidelines at the Jiaofang Division. He said that a man had already married a wife. After he became prosperous in the capital, he married a noble girl. Now it's a mess. The wife came to the capital from her hometown and found her husband in Jiaofangsi."
Liang Su's eyes widened, and before he could swallow the snack, he said, "Isn't this the storybook written by Young Master Qingluan?"
"Let me tell you, Mr. Qingluan is the most popular script writer now, and some of his scripts have even been turned into dramas. The Duke of Qi just performed "Peach Red", and the content is similar to what you said. The story of the script is still there Before it was finished, the drama came out first."
"It turns out that this is still the case. This is actually a serialized story. My younger brother and younger sister have been scrambling to read the storybook these days." An Ying poured another cup of clove soup for Su Huangzhe, "The wind master thought at first that Hong Xiao was the only one My son, Mr. Cheng, was that man. But later, Mr. Su said that Mr. Cheng was from the Cheng family in Longxi, a loyal family, and he and Mrs. Cheng were childhood sweethearts. I think the Feng Master may have misunderstood."
Liang Su on the side quietly lowered his voice and said, "You, Mr. Su, and his fiancée are also childhood sweethearts. Hey, you are so shy."
Su Huangzhe took another sip of clove soup, thinking that An Jia's drinks would be good for his taste. Then he heard Liang Su whispering to An Ying mysteriously, and grabbed the fan and hit it.
Liang Su covered his head and said, "Mr. Su, please be gentle and don't be too stupid. I still have to take the Jinshi exam."
After resting for a while and eating something, the sun went down a bit.
The three of them went to find Cheng Mansion's painter without stopping. An Ying found the paint shop based on its address.
"Boss Chen? Chen Rulin?" An Ying walked into the shop and asked.
The middle-aged man standing behind the shop raised his head and looked at them, "I am, what do you want?"
An Ying took out the badge of the Criminal Department and said: "The Criminal Department is working. I have something to ask."
Chen Rulin stood up a little irritably, "Are you still finished investigating the case? Didn't you make it clear last time?"
An Ying patted the counter and said, "We are from the Ministry of Justice. It's our first time here today. Let's ask you about what happened in the Cheng Mansion before."
Chen Rulin said angrily: "What do you want to ask? Ask quickly, I still have business to do."
"Tell me about your past career as a painter in the Cheng Mansion?"
Chen Rulin then took a closer look at the people in front of him, and then at Su Huangzhe next to him. Although he didn't know his identity, he didn't seem to be easy to mess with. He walked out of the counter and asked: "You are from the Criminal Department? Why are you asking this?" "
Liang Su thought he didn't talk about the important point for a long time, so he said: "Why are you so verbose? Just answer the questions you ask. The government is handling the case."
An Ying knocked on the table and said: "If you don't believe it, we can go to the Penal Department Yamen and sit down and talk slowly."
Chen Rulin then smiled apologetically and said, "Recently, the officials don't come to ask questions all the time. I'm really tired of asking questions. Sit down, you guys sit down first. Come on, Ding Er, give some soup to the adults."
"Sir, I did work as a painter for Master Cheng for three years many years ago. I don't know what you want to ask?"
"Why did Mr. Cheng drive you away suddenly?"
Chen Rulin stared at the soup that was brought to him in a daze, and then sighed, "It's a long story. I heard that Mr. Cheng was secretly assassinated by Xizuo some time ago?"
"The case is under investigation. Just talk about your affairs in the Cheng Mansion. It seems that you have quite a lot to say."
Chen Rulin smiled and said, "How should I put it? Master Cheng is my noble person who settled in the capital. At that time, when I first arrived in the capital, I had no place to live, so I painted for people on the street. Master Cheng passed by and saw that I was good at painting, so he painted I am recruiting you to be a painter in the government."
"Besides me, there are three painters. When I first entered the mansion, I thought Master Cheng really loved painting."
An Ying asked, "Isn't it?"
Chen Rulin shook his head, "At least I don't think so. Mr. Cheng rarely comes over to paint with us, but his housekeeper often comes over with a concubine. In fact, it doesn't matter just a few of us. Cheng Mansion provides us with food, accommodation, and paper. A pen of paint, I am satisfied.”
"When it comes to Master Cheng driving us away, I was young and reckless at the time." Chen Rulin touched his right hand as he spoke, "I shouldn't have said it originally, but Master Cheng has already left, so I don't care. "
"Master Cheng asked a few of us to paint, but he didn't allow us to sign or leave our names." Chen Rulin lowered his head and smiled, "It's just a nobleman's method. It's a pity that I am young and ignorant."
"I am best at boundary painting. When I first entered the Cheng Mansion, I ambitiously started painting the Jinling Map. For three years, I devoted all my energy to this painting."
