Xie Yanyan said to Xie Anfeng, "Dad, bring me the paper box from my backpack."
The backpack is in the carriage.
Chu Xiwang looked calm and said to the young man, "Take General Xie to get it."
The man already felt the pressure of the coming storm.
Not long after, Xie Anfeng brought a backpack from the cart. The young man asked, "Are you a general? Where do you work?"
The young man was disrespectful to Xie Yanyan, and Xie Anfeng was a little annoyed. He ignored the young man's questions.
When they arrived at the workshop, Xie Yanyan opened the backpack, took out a stack of white paper, put it on the table, and then took out a stack of rice paper and put it on the table.
Then he took out the ink from the 22nd century, one bottle of black, one bottle of gold, and one bottle of red.
Spread the white paper flat, allowing the young man to personally experience the toughness of the paper and the writing feel.
She spread the rice paper on the table. The paper was delicate and flexible, with a natural texture, noble and elegant.
Said to Chu Xiwang: "Brother Chu, try to write a few words."
Chu Xiwang took a wolf hair brush, dipped it in thick vermilion ink, held his breath, and wrote three big words with his knuckles turning white: Looking Northwest.
The handwriting is clear and smooth, and the fragrance of ink is fragrant. The paper and ink complement each other, the ink is bright and full of character.
However, Xie Yanyan saw that the handwriting was tilted slightly downward.
The young man's hands were shaking a little, and he pursed his lips without saying anything.
Xie Yanyan suddenly thought of Xin Qiji's "Bodhisattva Man·Written on the Wall of Jiangxi River Mouth" written hundreds of years later: Under Yugutai, the clear river water, how many pedestrians shed tears in the middle? Looking northwest to Chang'an, I feel sorry for the countless mountains.
His name is Chu Xiwang. Maybe there is some deep meaning behind the name his parents gave him.
However, his handwriting, like him, is somewhat complicated.
"Brother, your handwriting is so good! The brush is full of ink, and the strokes are iron-like and silver-like."
"It's the paper and ink that are good."
Xie Yanyan searched in the basket for a while and took out a close-up picture of a locust. This time she used special photographic paper and gave it to the young man, saying, "Look, this is better than the paper you made."
One can imagine how shocked Chu Xiwang was.
"You made it?"
“I know the technology.”
Chu Xiwang looked at it for a long time, and said to the young man in a flat tone: "This is paper!"
The young man knelt down and said in panic, "Miss, I don't know the real master."
"Then go and see Mount Tai." She didn't ask the young man to stand up, but added coldly, "I call him Brother Chu, and I really mean it."
After coming out of Sihai Pavilion, Chu Xiwang remained silent until Xie Yanyan got on the carriage. Then he asked, "When do we leave?"
"The day after tomorrow morning."
"good."
The carriage was given to Xie Yanyan by Yu Shanhe. It was not as big as the one given by Emperor Xuanwen, but it was very practical and enough for playing in Chang'an.
They arrived at the inn and stopped at the door. Before they got out of the car, someone politely asked Xie Anfeng, "Are you General Xie Anfeng?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm Xing'er, Madam Xiang's maid. May I ask if Third Miss Xie is here?"
Madam Xiang? Xie Anfeng was not able to react for a moment.
Xie Yanyan opened the car curtain and jumped out. It was indeed the girl with no martial arts skills beside Xie Xiangxiang.
"Looking for me?" Xie Xiangxiang came back? Xing'er and the black-faced maid weren't caught?
"Yes, thank you, Miss Third. Madam Xiang hasn't seen her family for a long time. She misses them very much and wants to catch up with Miss Third."
"Reminiscing? Where is she?"
"Fuhai Inn, my carriage is here, would you like to come with us?"
Xie Yanyan said: "No! If you want to see me, come here yourself."
"But it's not convenient for her to see people now." Xing'er looked embarrassed.
"Then I won't see you."
Only a fool would make Xie Yanyan fall into this obvious trap.
The girl saw Xie Yanyan turn around and leave, and she immediately became anxious: "Mrs. Xiang is having a hard time. As a sister, it's not too much for you to care about her, right?"
[Is this still a human being if you remain indifferent when hearing about your sister’s suffering?]
[The warlord tells him to trick her into coming over. What if she doesn’t take the bait?]
Governor He is looking for her?
Xie Yanyan stopped and turned to look at Xing'er: "I heard that Madam Xiang went to Jingshan County to provide disaster relief. She came back so soon?"
"We're back. We came back together."
[Did she know that Madam Xiang was burned to death? ]
Xie Yanyan: It must be a trick!
"Doesn't Prince Xi treat Madam Xiang well?"
Xing'er was speechless for a moment.
"I happened to be speaking to the Crown Prince, so I wrote a letter to him and asked him to write to Your Majesty, saying that Prince Xi secretly harbored the fugitive and made him his wife. Please punish Prince Xi according to the law."
"Ah, please don't, please don't tell His Majesty, in fact... it was this servant who made up nonsense, trying to force Miss Xie to visit Madam Xiang."
Xing'er was panicked. Why didn't this person follow the routine?
"Get lost!" He was too lazy to even pretend to be nice to her. Xie Xiangxiang was fine, so how could Xing'er be a loser?
Xing'er was scolded, gritted her teeth, and left in a panic.
Xie Anfeng asked: "Xie Xiangxiang wants to see you?"
"This girl wants to harm me. I just checked Mr. Chu's information network. She wants to trick me and harm me."
Mr. Chu didn't say anything, but Xing'er told her what was in her heart.
Xie Anfeng's face suddenly turned dark with anger: "I'll go and kill her."
"No need to get blood on your hands. Come on, go shopping with me to buy some things for Ah Sheng and Lord Li. When you come to Chang'an, you must bring some local specialties."
In fact, she wanted to track Xing Er's whereabouts.
Passing by Fu Hai Inn, Xing'er didn't go to Fu Hai Inn at all.
Xie Yanyan quickly scanned the area and indeed did not see Xie Xiangxiang.
Who knows who is waiting for her in Fuhai Inn!
Xing'er's carriage sped to an exquisite courtyard in the north of the city. There were two simple words "He's Residence" on the gate of the courtyard. Was it Governor He's villa?
Xing'er got off the carriage at the house and walked in tremblingly.
Governor He wiped the knife in his hand and asked, "Didn't you invite him?"
"No, no." Xing'er knelt on the ground. "I dare not say more, for fear that she will suspect. She and Madam Xiang don't seem to have a good relationship. When Madam Xiangyang called her, she just ignored him."
"Then there's no use for you?"
"General, sir, please let me go, ah"
***
Since Xie Yanyan left, Chu Xiwang has been sitting in the study of Sihai Pavilion and has not gone out. Manager Guo and others knelt outside the study, begging their master for forgiveness.
Qingshan was originally sent out by Chu Xiwang to do some work. When he came back, he heard about Xie Yanyan's visit to Sihai Pavilion.
Without saying a word, he killed the young man and Lao Cai first.
"Do you know how much effort the master went through to invite Miss Xie here?"
"Do you know who invented the priceless curved plow? Miss Xie! Do you think it was the prince who killed the locusts this time? It was Miss Xie! You didn't expect it, did you? She's a woman, but none of us can compare to her."
"Who gave you the courage to disobey the master?"
Qingshan's words made everyone feel ashamed and dissatisfied, and they cried, "We deserve to die."
"Damn it? Then die!"
After throwing him away, Qingshan went to Chu Xiwang's study and knocked on the door: "Master, I'm back."
It was quiet inside. Qingshan pushed the door open and went in. It was pitch dark inside, so he quickly turned on the light.
Chu Xiwang sat at the table, like a lifeless sculpture, with dark, deep eyes that were unfathomable and bone-chillingly cold.
