Chapter 53 One word and twelve

"If you want to meet me, I can find an opportunity later and take you to meet me."

Gou Yue was not unreasonable, "If I were a man and wanted to be your brother, I would go too. Unfortunately, if I go, it will only cause trouble for you. If word spreads, people's tongues are sharper than knives."

He didn't expect that she would understand this not long after coming to Liangzhu. He was a little sad, "I just said you are my good friend, it's nothing."

"If I have a chance to meet you on the street, I'll go see you again." She lowered her head slightly.

"Hey, don't move!" Dan Qingshou shouted not far away.

"I'm very tired, can't I change my position?"

Gou Yue was angry, "No wonder the painter didn't do a good job in restoring the painting. People can paint just by looking at it. He insists on staying in the snow."

"Just bear with it," Ji Pu said.

She said she could do nothing and just accept it, "Where is your father? Who is he?"

"He died young."

"Hey, it seems officialdom is not easy."

He sneered.

Gou Yue listened and asked, "Am I wrong?"

Ji Pu suddenly asked, "Do you want to be happy?"

"How happy?"

"I'll tell you something fun, but you can't tell anyone."

"Not even A Yuan?"

"Ah."

"Then I won't listen." Gou Yue said.

Ji Pu was choked and said, "Good intentions are regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs."

"You didn't ask me to tell A Yuan, so it's obviously not a good thing."

"Indeed." He said, "It's my father who died long ago."

"How did he die, do you know?"

Gou Yue said, "How would I know?"

"It was also such a winter day. He was playing with friends in the plum forest and met two women. One woman was wearing a bright red cloak and had a very beautiful face. She smiled at my father and stole his soul. Later, he didn't know How did he find that woman, only to find out that she was a concubine of the prince who entered the capital. From then on, it was hard to let go of that woman. Unexpectedly, the prince found out and smeared poison on the woman's lips, calling her The woman poisoned him.”

Gou Yue didn't know that there was such a past event. Wen Yuan said that Master was a doctor from Zhao Wen Hall. He should be a scholar who wanted to have a good reputation, but he was so confused, "What happened next?"

"Poisoned to death." He said calmly.

Gou Yue burst out laughing, and she quickly apologized, "I'm really sorry, but this..."

"Isn't it funny?"

Gou Yue didn't know how to respond.

"After my father passed away, my grandfather took care of the house. I remember that he fell seriously ill when I was very young. He took care of everything in order for me to enter an official career. Fortunately, I was sent to my master's door and asked my senior brother to take care of me. Later, he took care of me. He was really ill. I went back from Luming Mountain to see him. He couldn't see an eye. In order to stop me from worrying, he pretended to be able to see. As a result, he bumped into the door frame and knocked out such a big bag. . I swore at that time that I would support the Ji family from now on and not ask my grandfather to work for me anymore."

Gou Yue felt sad in her heart, "You have done a good job. Yushitai is an official, and the official position is not low. Your father, at your age, does not have as high an official position as you."

"It's different," he said.

It's true that his father was a man who couldn't support his family, but he took every step by himself. Unlike him, if Shen Sang hadn't been standing behind him to win over people, he wouldn't have gone so smoothly and never fallen.

Both were silent.

Or he broke the silence between the two of them, "You ask my parents, is it because they saw the mother and daughter?"

Gou Yue's feet were numb from the cold, so she stamped her feet and said, "So what?"

Hearing her stubbornness, he sighed, "Why bother choking me?"

Gou Yue thought for a moment and said, "I won't even tell A Yuan about your affairs, your father's affairs..."

"It's all up to you." He said it but didn't care anymore.Gou Yue said, "Secrets need to be exchanged. Well, I'll tell you one too."

Ji Pu hurriedly asked, "What secret?"

"I have never told anyone, not even A Yuan knows."

She said in a deep voice, "I lied to you. I said that I was taken away by my adoptive parents in the hall. In fact, it was not true. I was taken away by a sect of escorts in the world. They are not my adoptive parents, but they treat me Very good, they can be considered my adoptive parents. They have a daughter who is my junior sister. I have always wanted to be like her, even in my dreams."

Ji Pu gradually retracted his outstretched hand, "Do you still remember your biological parents?"

She shook her head, "I can't remember at all. I don't even know what their names are. My master's surname is Tai. If the disciples in the sect have no father or mother, they can all take the master's surname, Tai. Only I, the master said, My surname is not allowed to be Tai."

Ji Pu's mind was shaken, and some things he couldn't understand rushed out of the water, but he couldn't fully figure it out yet, "Your master's surname is Tai?"

"This is our secret. If you tell it, I will kill you."

Ji Pu smiled and said, "Then I have to take care of my mouth. I have to shut it tightly at night when I sleep."

After a while, just an hour before Ji Pu and Gou Yue were about to freeze to death, Dan Qing finally finished the painting.

Gou Yue was about to get it when Dan Qing snatched it away.

"Come back tomorrow afternoon," he said.

Ji Pu was puzzled, "Why, I've already paid the money just now."

Dan Qingshou said, "I have to wake up to draw. It won't be until tomorrow afternoon. Remember to pick it up again tomorrow."

Gou Yue was about to say that there were so many nonsense things, but Ji Pu quickly covered her mouth, "Then I will come back tomorrow, sir. I'm going to trouble you today."

Then I saw Dan Qing's hand placing the painting among the other paintings.

Gou Yue smelled the strong smell of ink and covered her nose, "I'll wait for you outside the door."

Ji Puyuan came here to investigate the case, and now he was standing among these paintings, seizing the opportunity to look for clues.

I saw several old paintings and asked, "Which of them are the ancient paintings restored by Mr.?"

Danqingshou said, "It's just that there is no master. He has been following me for many years."

Ji Pu said, "Junior, can I step forward and take a look?"

Dan Qingshou did not stop, "Please do it."

There is a painting that seems to be of the scenery of the Imperial Court of Chu. Although Ji Pu has never been there, he heard in his early years that the Imperial Court of the Chu people looked like this. The lake in the distance should be the Moon Lake.

"This painting also has no owner?"

Dan Qingshou glanced at it and said, "No, that painting has an owner."

Ji Pu chuckled lightly, "I thought that if there was no owner, I would just buy it and go back. This painting suits my eyes."

Danqing came closer, touched the paper and said, "This painting has been soaked in water for a long time. It took me three months to take care of it. It will be time to take it back."

"Junior, I would like to ask more, who is the owner of this painting?"

Dan Qingshou glanced at him and said, "This painting is not cheap."

He understood clearly and took out 50 taels of silver notes from his sleeve, "One word is [-] taels, is that enough?"

"Enough," he said.

"Former Prime Minister, Wen Yin."

Ji Pu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"Why are you laughing? You don't believe me?"

Ji Pu said, "It's getting late, I should go."

He laughed because the painting was placed here, as if waiting for him to ask.

50 taels wasted.
