Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 243
"Of course it's the person in the painting!" Su Jingchun answered calmly, looking at Shang Wu with a natural look.

Gu Sixiao just smiled, and didn't mean to be unhappy.

Shang Wu frowned, showing a puzzled expression.

Looking at this painting, it is clear that Su Jingchun has transformed himself into the painting.

But why is it not Gu Sixiao who is with him but another strange woman?
Looking at Gu Sixiao's expression, there is no sign of displeasure.Before, she directly rejected him because he had a wife in his family.

Puzzled, Shang Wu could only sigh in the end: "I often say that I am the confidant of the little lady, but now it seems that the confidant of the little lady is someone else—ashamed of others!"

After giving a salute, Shang Wu walked away sadly, but he didn't say a word about how the painting was.

Gu Sixiao took a few steps back and turned to look at Shang Wu's painting.

Shang Wu's painting was almost done before, but looking at it now, he has added a few more strokes. Among the red plums, there is a tail of clothes, light blue clothes, which looks like a man's figure.

And the lady among the red plums was looking at that figure.

Like Su Jingchun, Shang Wu also incorporated himself and Gu Sixiao into the painting.

But the artistic conception of the two people is completely different.

Su Jingchun was in the turbulent wind and waves, and hand in hand with his son, they weathered the wind and rain together.

But Shang Wu is the tenderness in the wind, the snow and the moon, the little love and fun that stay together for a long time in the rich and noble village.

This difference is not due to the level of painting skills, but the difference in life experience, experience and thinking between the two.

As soon as Shang Wu left, the competition was over, although no one said who would win and who would lose.

Those who watched the excitement were still pointing, saying which of the two had better painting skills.

But in fact, from the very beginning, the two have been separated.

The Zhike monk of Wenchan Temple came to see Su Jingchun, and begged to leave his seal, "Master Su, although the small temple is simple, I hope that the two calligraphy treasures will be preserved with green gauze, and I hope you can use the seal, so that good guests from all walks of life can see you. .”

Su Jingchun smiled, and directly refused, "Master, don't bother, I will have this wall repainted later, and there will never be a dirty mountain gate."

When he refused, the Zhike monk was really anxious, "Master Su, the small temple really wants to keep the master's calligraphy, and please ask the master..."

Gu Sixiao, however, understood when Su Jingchun said that she was going to repaint. Pulling Su Jingchun, she smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of people watching."

Holding her hand, Su Jingchun hesitated, "Aren't you afraid?"

"Not afraid." Even if someone saw this painting, so what if they knew that Su Jingchun drew Gu Sixiao?
Who would believe in such a thing as returning a soul from a dead body? !
"I like this painting very much!" She can see her real appearance.

"It's fine if you like it." Su Jingchun smiled, untied his purse, and really stepped forward to apply a seal under the painting.

Seeing this, the Zhike monk was overjoyed immediately, and specially invited Su Jingchun inside to serve tea.

Smiling and waving his hands, Su Jingchun didn't answer him, took Gu Sixiao's hand, turned around and left, no matter what others were staring at them.

The two civil and military battles spread throughout the capital in just a few hours.

"Many people in Beijing are talking about this right now! Really, why didn't you call me? I really want to see my brother-in-law showing off his power. I don't know how many people are envious of you!"

Rui'er was grinning, and called her brother-in-law to be that dear.

Gu Sixiao glanced at her reproachfully, and seeing Su Jingchun's triumphant look, couldn't help but also laughed.

Arrived in Beijing at the end of April, now it is September, early autumn, the weather is just right, neither cold nor hot.

When they left the capital, Yue Mudan still couldn't help crying.

Holding Gu Sixiao's hand, she repeatedly said that when the two of them got married, she would definitely rush to Jinan in person.

Rui'er counted with her fingers beside her, "Isn't it the end of this year? It's almost too soon, my sister and the others will leave in a few days, and we should start our journey! Why don't we follow together now..."

As she spoke, she was already running towards the carriage, and she had the intention of jumping into the carriage and following.

Yue Mudan laughed at being made such a fuss by her.

"Your sister said that it won't be in time. It will probably be next spring."

Looking at Gu Sixiao, she thought for a while, then frowned and said, "Why do you have to make a detour to Songjiang?"

"I want to take a look." Although Gu Sixiao was smiling, there was a look of sadness in his eyes, "After all, I grew up in Songjiang."

Holding Gu Sixiao's hand tightly, Yue Mudan said softly: "That's right, Hua'er, mother also really wants to go to Songjiang to see where you lived..."

Rui'er immediately became excited and pulled Gu Sixiao, her eyes lit up.

"There will be a chance in the future..." If Yue Mudan was allowed to go, Gu Sixiao just smiled lightly.

The girl has always been a beggar, if Yue Mudan went to see the ruined temple, wouldn't it make Yue Mudan cry to death?

Saying goodbye to her mother and Rui'er, Gu Sixiao turned around and got into the car, but before she got into the car, a person suddenly rushed out beside her, and fell to her knees with a plop.

Startled, Gu Sixiao took a closer look, only to realize that the person who suddenly fell to his knees was the Dongying Fan Master.

Su Jingchun, who had bid farewell to Mu Zihua, also turned around, looked at Yamada Jiro, frowned and said, "What are you going to do again? Didn't you leave Beijing with the Japanese mission? Why did you turn back?"

Yamada Jiro also looked very embarrassed at the moment, with ragged clothes, dusty face, and disheveled hair, and he seemed to have suffered a lot.

"I turned back on purpose, and asked the little lady to accept me as an apprentice."

Yamada Jiro's Chinese is not particularly good, so he just bit down on the word apprentice, and said repeatedly: "Appreciate, apprentice—the little lady accepts me as an apprentice."

Gu Sixiao frowned, looked at this Yamada Jiro, and for a moment didn't know how to refuse.

Ruier poked her head over to look, "Oh, you're the one who wants to snatch my sister to Japan?!"

When she asked such a question, Yue Mudan's expression became even uglier.

"This kind of Dongying person, why do you care about him?! Drive him away! Why don't you hurry up and drive him away!"

The servants on the side immediately responded, and the two of them held Yamada Jiro's arms and dragged him away.

"Let's go, let's go! Our little lady is something that Dongying people like you can think of..."

Su Jingchun also held Gu Sixiao's hand and helped her into the car, "Don't pay attention to that guy, he's not of my race, so his heart must be different. It's not a good thing to take him as a disciple."

Nodding, Gu Sixiao obediently got into the car.

Opening the curtain, I saw Yamada Jiro getting up from the ground and staring blankly at her carriage.

The carriage drove far away, and everyone in the Mu family had already returned to the house, and he was still watching.

Putting down the car curtain, Gu Sixiao couldn't help but whispered: "This person is a real fan master."

All craftsmen must have requirements for their skills, and only if they are not satisfied, they will go to a higher level.

It's just a pity that this is from Dongying, otherwise, it would be nothing to accept apprentices.

Thinking of this, Gu Sixiao couldn't help laughing.

The elder brother has not confiscated his apprentice yet, yet she still wants to confiscate him.

Wouldn't it be a joke to say this.

Running all the way, although the convoy was mighty and moving very slowly, I did not see Jiro Yamada along the way.

Gu Sixiao thought he must have given up, but she didn't expect to see someone on the third day.

Yamada Jiro was riding an ugly horse. It seemed that he hadn't eaten for an unknown period of time, and he was skinny and skinny.

Yamada Jiro just got off the horse, and the horse turned to the manger to the side to let go of its belly to eat grass, even though several horses nearby neighed at it together.

Climbing off the horse, Yamada Jiro seemed unable to even walk.

"Little lady, please accept me as a disciple..."

Kneeling on the ground, he still said the same thing.

Gu Sixiao was a little dazed, but Su Jingchun was unhappy. Although he didn't speak, Su Zhu stood up and walked out quickly.

After a while, he heard him scolding people loudly: "Why did you let this Dongying man come here? Anyone who has met is an acquaintance? Can you be unguarded?"

This time they brought too many things, the temporarily seconded staff, the guards from Prince Rui's mansion, although respectful to Su Jingchun, they didn't respect Su Zhu very much.

In just two words, there was already a quarrel outside.

Su Jingchun frowned and turned to look at Su Mei.

Su Mei went out immediately, and only said lightly: "Young master said, if you don't want to follow the road, just turn back to Beijing, we won't stay."

In a word, the guard who quarreled with Su Zhu immediately silenced, and only said: "The villain is not dissatisfied with the young master, it's just that the housekeeper is too domineering."

Su Zhu was so angry that he raised his eyebrows and wanted to curse, but Su Mei had already turned him around.

"Among these people, those who heard that there is a princess, don't be too domineering, and be careful to go back and spread small words."

"Fuck, what's the matter with the concubine's people? You can't even touch her, if I'm not afraid that our mother will make things difficult, I will..."

Stared at by Su Mei, Su Zhu closed his voice embarrassingly, but asked: "What about the Dongying man? Are you going to drive him away?"

Su Mei smiled and said in a low voice: "Look at what the little lady means..." Suddenly his eyes flashed, he turned around and looked around, his eyes showed a look of vigilance.

"There seems to be something wrong..."

When he said this, Su Zhu also noticed.

To stay overnight in the wilderness, they chose a place near the forest stream.When they were talking just now, they vaguely heard a bird call. Although it disappeared quickly, the bird call at night clearly meant that someone had broken in.

Looking at each other, Su Mei didn't move, but Su Zhu immediately walked back to Su Jingchun.

At this time, Su Jingchun had also stood up, stood holding his sword, and looked around vigilantly.

Before Su Zhu could speak, he had already nodded and said in a low voice: "Let everyone be vigilant, there must be someone breaking in."

"Perhaps, it's just a traveler who missed the destination?"

When Gu Sixiao said this, Su Jingchun immediately shook his head.

"Impossible. The bird just called and then it stopped. It was obviously killed by someone. If it was an ordinary night walker, it would never kill the calling bird immediately. From this point of view, I am afraid that the person who came was not good. .”

Hearing what Su Jingchun said, Gu Sixiao also became nervous, and Qiaoer behind her turned pale with fright.

Although Su Jingchun was protecting her, Gu Sixiao still looked around with anxiety.

"I, I will protect Master..." Yamada Jiro stammered.

But he was kicked to the ground by Su Jingchun, "Say, did you lure the thief over?!"
