Xiao Cunyu will not interfere too much in the affairs of the Jiang family. It all depends on fate now.
When fate comes, she will say a few more words, but when fate is gone, she will not meddle in other people's affairs.
Old Jiang was silent for a while. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, Xiao Cunyu took people to various places to play.
Sometimes they go boating on the lake and catch ducks, and sometimes they run to the downtown area to watch the fun.
This old man rarely goes out, and his health is actually not as bad as others think. After being taken by Xiao Cunyu to see many strange toys played by young people, his mood was gone.
He still carries this painting with him, and he is not sure when Xiao Cunyu is going to tell him the truth.
And as far as he knew, the kid had to go to school tomorrow. Could he really let the old man wait for another ten days?
In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.
Xiao Cunyu finally calmed down and stood in front of a painting stall.
The stall had just been set up, and the stall owner was a scholar. He looked gentle and refined, and had a great temperament. He must have been busy studying that day, and only had some free time at this time to come out and earn some money to make a living.
"Did you draw this painting?" Xiao Cunyu went straight to the point, placed the painting in front of the scholar, and asked.
The scholar was stunned for a moment, opened the painting and took a look. When he saw the picture of a beauty on it, his pupils shrank and he immediately closed the painting.
"What's up?" the scholar said, then smiled again. "This painting... must have been done by someone else. The brushstrokes are somewhat similar to mine, but... it's not me."
He looked calm and didn't seem to be lying.
General Jiang also remembered that his son said that the painting was bought from a bookstore, and it was said that the person who consigned it was a very famous scholar.
"It's really not you, because someone else changed it, right?" Xiao Cunyu said in a light tone, "The painting above is of your childhood sweetheart, the little girl next door. Her surname is Mao, and her name is Mao Chun, is that correct?"
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Jiang's beard moved, and Jiang Hanyi stared.
Xiao Cunyu saw the painting yesterday, but only glanced at it. This morning, he told him the painting's origins...
After that, the grandparents and grandchildren had been following Xiao Cunyu. How come Xiao Qi knew who the girl in the painting was in just one day?!
Both the grandfather and grandson found it a bit mysterious, and Jiang Hanyi was even more confused, with his eyes wide open.
Sure enough, after Xiao Cunyu mentioned the scholar's name, he became a little discouraged. "You know me? Yes, I did draw this. Chun'er is my neighbor's little sister. The painting has been there for a few years... It was lost a long time ago."
Originally, he had kept these words at home, but they disappeared long ago.
"What's wrong with this painting?" Jiang Hanyi couldn't help but ask.
"What do you think?" Xiao Cunyu unfolded it again, allowing the scholar to see it clearly.
The scholar's name was An Jinsong. Looking at the figure in the painting, his eyes held a complex expression, one of surprise and nostalgia, yet also of fear and suspicion. However, he quickly concealed these feelings, transforming them into a calm expression. "I originally only finished half of this painting. The mountains, rocks, and trees were added later. I've also changed the expression. It seems, it seems a little more beautiful."
Xiao Cunyu saw that he was quite calm and sighed a little.
There is a ghost trapped in this painting.
It was hidden so deeply that she suppressed it with her own abilities. In the end, she only knew that the man was called Mao Chun, and was looking for a scholar. The ghost was integrated with the painting, and the reason was not clear. Xiao Cunyu couldn't separate the soul directly from the painting, so she came to ask the scholar.
She calculated the direction and time and met the scholar here.
