Chapter 28 Tighten the vest

  Guard Li came to the door to deliver the portrait, "Master Wen, the rest are here."

  Wen Jiuxiao put his hands behind his back, "Qingfeng, go and get the five hundred taels of silver note and give it to him."

  He doesn't care what price the portrait sells for, but the cost is enough, and he Wen San doesn't take advantage of anyone.

  Guard Li smiled dryly, and was about to say no, when he saw those starry eyes without a trace of emotion glance at him, and he didn't dare to move.

   After receiving the bank note handed over by Brother Qingfeng, Guanshi Li escaped out of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion as if fleeing, and only then did he dare to let out a sigh of relief.

  This Mr. Wen has a lot of authority, and he doesn't want to deal with him at all.

   "These paintings—" Qingfeng wanted to ask how to deal with these paintings, so his master said: "Burn it."

   "Burn?" It's a pity to burn, the painting is so similar, it's almost like a real person. And isn't everything burned for—the dead? Third Master, this—

  Qingfeng feels awkward no matter what he thinks.

   Is it possible to keep it if it is not burned? Immortal! He's not Fang Zicheng's kind, so he doesn't need to rely on portraits to impress the public.

  Qingfeng suddenly trembled, "Yes, the little ones will be burned right now, all of them will be burned." It was like expressing determination.

  Wen Jiuxiao nodded, looked at the list of sales, and frowned suddenly.

  Seven people, there are still seven portraits living outside.

  Changlong Bookstore still kept it a secret, if he knew which painter painted his portrait, he would definitely bring him into Dali Temple to entertain him.

  The owner of the bookstore cried and said: I really don't want to hide it, I really don't know!

  Wen Jiuxiao never allowed his portrait to be left outside. He visited every family and offered double the money to buy back the portrait.

  Those elders of Miss Qianjin know what their daughters have done, and the women in the boudoir hide the portraits of their cousins, this, this—

  There was the conservative one, whose face was as black as a pan on the spot, angry and ashamed, and ordered his daughter to return the portrait quickly, even unwilling to ask for money.

   How can this work? Wen Jiuxiao didn't bear the notoriety, so he put down the money and left.

   There are also those who are unwilling to admit it because of the daughter's reputation. Wen Jiuxiao took out the sales records of Changlong Bookstore, and the male owner of the house had to ask his wife to search in the daughter's room.

   It doesn’t matter if you search this, it’s cheating!

   Not only Wen Jiuxiao's portrait, but also Fang Zicheng and others' portraits were found. The face of the male owner of this house is so pretty.

  Some people think that Wen Jiuxiao has made a big fuss, it's just a portrait, how elegant is it? Didn't Mr. Ren Yichen and the others say nothing? He has a lot to do.

   But he glanced at it, and immediately stopped talking. This painting is indeed—a bit—

  Haha, isn’t it just that the neckline is opened a bit wider? In fact, it is still very good-looking, big man, what are you afraid of?

  But think about Wen Jiuxiao as the person involved—understand, understand, haha, no wonder Master Xiaowen’s face is extraordinarily cold.

  Because of hearing Jiuxiao's actions, the whole capital was discussing.

  Wen Chengyao took the opportunity to apply a wave of eye drops in front of Marquis Wu An.

  The other ladies and ladies who didn't see the portrait felt sorry for each other, and asked those who bought the portrait, but how could the description in words compare to what they saw with their own eyes? What exactly does it take to be called "extravagant"?

   Ladies blushed and felt even more itchy!

   "Brother Qingfeng, why are you here?" Cherry who opened the door was surprised.

   "Come to bring some ice to Ms. Yu." This is actually just an excuse, it is because the third master has been too tempered recently, and he can't stand it anymore!

  Cherry was very happy, "Great! Brother Qingfeng, come in."

  While leading him in, he babbled about how hard it is to buy ice.

  It's too hot, and those big families don't have enough ice, so where can ordinary people buy it? There is nothing to sell in the market, and there is no money to buy it.

   Make ice? Yu Zhi knows it, but where can I get saltpeter? A small amount is not enough, enough to freeze water into ice.

  Because Aunt Li brought the matchmaker to the door to make a fuss, and now all the eyes of Taohuali are still staring at her, she should keep a low profile and shoot the outcropping bird, this sentence is the truth.

  If it’s hot, let it be hot, at worst, at worst, she will go to Huguo Temple to escape the summer heat.

  I stayed there for one night a few days ago. After all, it is on the mountain, which is much cooler than the mountain.

   "Meet Miss Yu, please greet Miss Yu."

  Master's woman, Qingfeng naturally didn't dare to look at her too much, he only took a quick glance, and he also felt that Miss Yu seemed to be more attractive, with a slight smile on her face, he, a slave, felt happy.

  I hope Ms. Yu can make Sanye happy.

   "Brother Qingfeng, you are too polite. You have troubled the third master. Thank you for helping me survive later."

  The cold air rushing towards her face made Yu Zhi happy, and the leader even thought of delivering ice to her. What a good leader, it was worth her effort to solve the problem.

  Qingfeng smiled, "Wouldn't it be better for Miss Yu to thank the third master herself?"

  Yu Zhi paused, "Didn't the third master go with the driver to escape the summer heat? Are you back?" Isn't it more than a month to two months for Shengjia to go out of Beijing every time to escape the summer heat?

   How long has it been since you came back?

  Yu Zhi suddenly felt something was wrong.

  Qingfeng nodded, deliberately sighing.

  Yu Zhi was naturally understanding, "What's the matter, did something happen to the third master?"

"Third Master is in a bad mood." Qingfeng was also holding back hard, and began to pour out bitter water, "-there were rumors outside, and the Marquis in the mansion didn't understand, and even reprimanded Third Master. Third Master——Miss Yu , you don't know, the third master is suffering, and all the money from the private house has been pasted in."

  There is no separate family in the mansion, and the third master has no private property, and the salary is also handed over to the public. There is only a small amount every month, and there are still exchanges of favors. The emperor has rewards, but most of them are things, gold and silver are not available, and they were all generously given away by the third master.

   After so many years of hard work, I saved thousands of taels and posted them all.

  When Qingfeng talked about the portrait, Yu Zhi couldn't help shaking. Seeing Qingfeng looking over, he explained stiffly, "It's good to have ice in this room. It's cool, especially cool, haha."

   Touched her arm, she tentatively asked: "The painter—"

  Qingfeng was very angry, "The bookstore shielded him, and they were unwilling to say anything, and even said that they didn't know who the artist was. Hmph, even a fool would not believe that!"

   "That's right, it's just an excuse." Yu Zhi agreed, but said in his heart: I really didn't lie, Changlong Bookstore really doesn't know who the artist is?

   "--What kind of trash painter, if the little one is caught, the little one will definitely tear him into pieces and vent his anger on the third master."

  Yu Zhi—

   Silently touched her arm, she felt cold again.

   Be sure to wear a vest and never let the leader find out.

  The remaining three people can no longer draw, and as for Changlong Bookstore, she can no longer appear.

  As for the money lost——Yu Zhi couldn't take care of it anymore. She didn't dare to underestimate her immediate boss!

Close hand! Yu Zhi decisively decided to stop.

   "--When the third master comes back, please be kind and comfort me, make sure the third master is happy--"

  As soon as Qingfeng left, Yu Zhi rushed into the inner room and hid all the paintings she treasured. There were also some drawings, which were quickly set on fire, so as not to leave any hidden dangers.

   Thank you Still Sunny for sending Hehe flowers, thank you!
