Chu Huan was taken aback, then turned his head away, and saw Ling Shuang standing beside her, her eyes wide open, full of surprise, she couldn't help but asked in doubt, "What is "Nine Views of Streams and Mountains"?"

Ling Shuang obviously realized that she had lost her composure, and her voice softened, and hurriedly said: "Master, servant girl... this servant girl made a slip of the tongue, servant girl looked at this painting... this portrait is "Nine Views of Streams and Mountains", so...!"

"It's okay!" Chu Huan shook his head, and brought the scroll closer. At this time, the room was already lit, and under the lights, the scroll looked a little old. Chu Huan asked in a low voice, "Have you seen this painting?"

Ling Shuang said: "I've seen fakes before. This is Gu Kaizhi's "Nine Views of Streams and Mountains". If it is real, it will be priceless!"

"Gu Kaizhi?" Chu Huan only felt that the name was very familiar, and soon remembered that another painting by Gu Kaizhi was very famous, which was "The Picture of the Goddess of Luo".

Chu Huan looked at this picture before, and it was unremarkable, but now he heard that it was Gu Kaizhi's painting, so it must be extraordinary, and asked: "Ling Shuang, why is this painting called so?"

Ling Shuang glanced at Chu Huan, saw that Chu Huan was sincerely asking for advice, and then explained softly: "It is said that Gu Kaizhi once visited the mountains and rivers and liked the nine beautiful scenery very much, but these nine scenery are divided into nine places. , actually integrated nine scenes into the same painting, and it became "Nine Views of Rivers and Mountains." Ling Shuang obviously had a lot of research on the painting, and stretched out her finger, pointing to the corner, "This is one of the scenes. There is a strange thing about this picture, that is, at first glance, it looks ordinary, but if you cover up the other eight places and look at each scene one by one, it will be amazing."

Chu Huan was very interested, put it on the table, and summoned Ling Shuang to cover the other eight places together. The two of them got together unconsciously, just because they were admiring the painting, but they didn't realize that they were very close. With the help of Ling Shuang, You can see the nine scenes one by one. Although Chu Huan didn't understand the paintings, he was really amazing when he saw each scene. He couldn't help but patted Ling Shuangxiang on the shoulder and said, "Ling Shuang, you are really amazing. If it weren't for you, I would love you!" I thought it was an ordinary painting, hahaha, the lines are like a mountain, with you by my side, I know how to look at the painting."

He said a few words, smelled a faint fragrance from the tip of his nose, and soon felt that something was wrong, turned his head, and saw that he had one hand on Ling Shuang's fragrant shoulder, and Ling Shuang was hanging his head, on his snow-white cheeks. Flushed and a little embarrassed, Chu Huan came to his senses and was taken aback. He cursed himself for being a little carried away, hurriedly withdrew his hand, and said in embarrassment: "Ling Shuang, I...that... don't take offense, I'm Inadvertently...!" People today are different from the past, there is a saying that men and women can't give and receive clearly, although Ling Shuang was born in a brothel, she has a clean girl's body, and she doesn't care if she touches her body inadvertently , but somewhat disrespected Ling Shuang.

Naturally, Chu Huan didn't have any thoughts of master and servant in his mind. His habit of thinking was originally that everyone respected each other. It was Ling Shuang's first day to live in, and he suspected of doing things himself, which made Chu Huan I was really embarrassed in my heart.

Seeing Chu Huan's embarrassing expression, Ling Shuang really did it unintentionally. For some reason, Ling Shuang felt a little disappointed in her heart. On the contrary, she felt that Chu Huan deliberately put her shoulders on her shoulders, which seemed to be better.

"Master, you...don't say that." Under the lights, Ling Shuang's delicate face was flushed, and her watery eyes seemed to drip water: "You are Ling Shuang's lifesaver, Ling Shuang... …Ling Shuang only wants to repay you well in the future, as long as Master does not dislike Ling Shuang, Ling Shuang is willing to stay by Master's side forever."

Chu Huan was taken aback, and thought to himself that if you were always by my side, Qi Wang Yingren would definitely fight with me, so he quickly waved his hands and said, "This... this can't be done...!"

He was very courageous, but at this moment under the solitary lamp, such a watery young girl was in front of him, and she exuded a faint fragrance, which made Chu Huan feel a little uncomfortable.

Ling Shuang's tender body trembled slightly, and her voice trembled, "The master said, Ling Shuang... Ling Shuang can't stay with the master?" Her face was still flushed just now, but now she was a little pale.

Seeing this, Chu Huan understood, dare Ling Shuang thought he would send her away, shook his head and said: "Ling Shuang, don't think too much, in fact, things are not what you think." After a pause, he sighed: " Ling Shuang, don't be burdened, and don't think that if I help you, you have to repay, this shouldn't be your burden."

Ling Shuang bit her heavy lips lightly with her white teeth, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Master, actually...in fact, Ling Shuang doesn't just want to repay your kindness, but... but...!" She lowered her head, but dared not speak.

Chu Huan scratched his temples, and said softly, "Ling Shuang, what do you say, in front of me, don't be shy."

Ling Shuang didn't raise her head, but said in a very low voice: "Ling Shuang... Ling Shuang not only wants to repay you, Ling Shuang stays by your side, but also... also because she likes to stay by your side...!" She said In the end, the voice was as thin as a mosquito.

No matter how stupid Chu Huan was, she naturally sensed something from Ling Shuang's expression and tone, and was surprised in her heart: "Is this girl interested in me?"

He may be able to have feelings for many women, but in this world, only this woman is the most untouchable.

"Ling Shuang, that...don't misunderstand." Chu Huan frowned, "I was careless just now, it was definitely not on purpose."

Ling Shuang took a sneak peek at Chu Huan, seeing Chu Huan frowning, her heart sank, she bit her red lips, and finally asked softly, "Master, did Ling Shuang come here to make things difficult for you?" She raised her head, looked at Looking at Chu Huan, his expression became very decisive: "If Ling Shuang is here to cause trouble for the master, then Ling Shuang will leave immediately."

Chu Huan knew that this woman was very resolute in her bones, and she was good at observing words and emotions. If she had a slight difference in color, she would spot the clues, and smiled bitterly: "Ling Shuang, you are here with me. I wish for it. How can you say that?" Give me trouble."

Ling Shuang blinked her eyes. In fact, she couldn't figure out what Chu Huan was thinking, so she asked softly, "Then...does the master like Ling Shuang to stay?"

"Of course." Chu Huan nodded, but felt that such an answer seemed a bit inappropriate. For a moment, he was a little confused. He knew that something was wrong with Ling Shuang's living here, but now it really is.

Ling Shuang smiled sweetly, her eyes were like crescent moons: "Master, don't worry, Ling Shuang will know how to do it in the future, and will never cause you any trouble." As if thinking of something, he said: "Master, this servant is going to boil hot water for you , you can wash it later."

Chu Huan hurriedly said: "No, no, I will do it myself." Then he pointed to the painting and said, "Ling Shuang, do you think this painting is real or not?"

Ling Shuang moved forward, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Your servant can't tell, but this kind of paper is really only from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. I have seen fakes a few times before, and I don't know what the real one looks like, but this paper The lines of the painting are very smooth, and it is indeed a painting handed down from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, even if it is a fake, it is also a fake that has been handed down from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and this servant girl thinks it should be very valuable." After a pause, his eyes were like water, revealing A look of shrewdness: "However, I feel that those who really collect such paintings will not know the authenticity. If it is a fake, how can it be passed down from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to today?"

Chu Huan was surprised: "So, this "Nine Views of Streams and Mountains" may be genuine?"

Ling Shuang nodded: "Although I can't be sure, there is a good chance that it is genuine." After a pause, he added: "If this painting is genuine, then it will be priceless!"

Chu Huan frowned, but he was a little shocked in his heart. At this moment, he was somewhat sure that the painting was genuine. After all, it was sent by Feng Yuanpo of Hexi Road. As a governor, he would not send a fake.

However, he was only the head of the household department, and Feng Yuanpo gave such a generous gift, which was too generous. If he treated him like this, then he couldn't even imagine a gift for Hu Bufan.

Of course, it is impossible for Feng Yuanpo to manage the household department for no reason. Chu Huan knows that his ultimate goal is to open up joints with the household department. For Yuan Po, that is quite important.

The room Ling Shuang chose was not far from where Chu Huan lived, so Chu Huan didn't say much, as long as he didn't live in the same room, he could say anything.

Chu Huan also knew that Ling Shuang settled here, and Yingren was afraid that he would be thinking about coming here day and night. Whenever he had the opportunity, he would definitely come over. He guessed really well. At dusk, when I returned to the mansion, I found that the gate of the mansion was open uncharacteristically. There were two domestic servants in Tsing Yi guarding the door. They looked like domestic servants, but their hands and feet were definitely stubborn. Sun Desheng was right next to the gate. Jin Yi, with his beard sticking to his face, saw Chu Huan coming back, and greeted him with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Lord Chu, Your Highness just came over!"

Chu Huan hurried to the main hall, and Sun Desheng whispered beside him: "Miss Mo is waiting, let's check the movement first, don't disturb!"

Chu Huan nodded, and asked softly: "Mr. Sun, did your Highness explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly today?" He only felt that if he explained the situation to Ling Shuang earlier, he would not have to be in a dilemma.

Sun Desheng hurriedly said: "This is impossible. The time is not yet ripe. His Highness said that if Miss Mo really likes him, if he reveals his identity so quickly, he will not be able to judge whether Miss Mo really likes him in the future."

Chu Huan smiled wryly: "So, Your Highness wants to play with true feelings?"

"It's not for fun." Sun Desheng corrected: "Your Highness really likes Ms. Mo, so he also hopes that Ms. Mo really likes him. His Highness said, this... this is called mutual love!"

As an eunuch, he seemed to be very energetic when talking about this kind of men and women.

Chu Huan stopped and said, "Well, since His Highness is inside, I won't bother you. I'll have dinner here tonight, and I'll go buy some food."

"No need." Sun Desheng said: "Your Highness is going to the Prince's Mansion for a banquet, His Highness said, let you go together at night, so you don't have to work hard."

"To the Prince's Mansion?"

"Yes!" Sun Desheng nodded. The two of them were already approaching the main hall when they were talking, and they didn't dare to get too close, but they found that the main hall was silent and there was no sound.

I don't know how long it took before I saw Yingren come out in brocade clothes. Today, to see Ling Shuang, Yingren obviously put a lot of effort into dressing up very handsomely and handsomely, but when he came out, his face On the other hand, he was a little embarrassed. As soon as he went out, he saw Chu Huan, raised his brows, showed a smile, and walked over quickly. Ling Shuang had already gone out to send it out. Seeing Chu Huan, he immediately said: "Master, Master Xu is here to find you!"

Chu Huan thought to himself: "Why are you looking for me?" She cupped her hands and said with a smile, "Young Master Xu!"

"Brother Chu!" Yingren cupped his hands pretendingly, turned his head and cupped his hands at Ling Shuang, pretending to be gentle: "Girl, I'm really sorry to bother you, if there is any impoliteness, please forgive me!"

Chu Huan said heartily: "Could it be that you have been rude to Ling Shuang in the room?"

But Ling Shuang smiled sweetly and said: "Young Master Xu, you are being polite. You are the master's distinguished guest, that is, the distinguished guest of our Chu family, and you have...you helped the little girl. The little girl is grateful, and I will remember it in my heart!"

Ying Ren laughed and said: "Girl, I still have some contacts in the capital. If you need anything in the future, just tell me, and I will definitely get it for you. Well, Brother Chu and I are good friends, and we will come here often in the future Visiting lady, do you like jewelry? Or rouge and gouache? Well, otherwise, I have some good pastries over there, and I’ll bring them to you next time. Well, the girl’s clothes look good, next time I come here, I’ll give them to you Bring some good clothes here...!"

He is a man of gold, and he doesn't know how to express his love. He just thinks that by providing some material needs for the person he likes, he can express his love. His heartfelt words can be seen in Ling Shuang's eyes , but felt it was very funny, she lightly covered her red lips and smiled, and that smile was so beautiful, Yingren saw it in her eyes, and thought that Ling Shuang had a good impression of her, and when she went out before, she looked a little embarrassed, but now Already dancing: "Haha, it seems that the girl likes it, well, I will definitely take care of this matter!"

Ling Shuang gave a salute and went back into the room. Yingren then moved closer to Chu Huan and sighed softly: "Miss Ling Shuang is really strange. Just now I was in the room and asked some old questions, but she couldn't say a few words. Now When I came out, she suddenly expressed her feelings, women's thoughts are really hard to guess, um, Chu Huan, do you think Miss Ling Shuang has a good impression of me?"

Chu Huan smiled and said, "There must be!"

There must be some good feelings, but Chu Huan is not sure whether Ling Shuang has a male-female affection for Yingren.

Yingren looked up at Tianse, took Chu Huan's hand, and said: "Tianse is getting late, go there with me first, don't let the wife...!" Lowered his voice: "Don't make the prince wait in a hurry !"

Chu Huan said softly: "Your Highness, go to the Prince's Mansion, my minister...isn't it appropriate for me to go together?"

"There's nothing inappropriate." Yingren said: "Sometimes he says something that I don't understand, you go with me, I don't understand, maybe you can understand, let's go, don't delay any longer!"

Yingren was indeed full of trust in Chu Huan. He sat in the same carriage and got into the carriage. Yingren couldn't wait to ask, "Chu Huan, I heard that you beat someone in the household department?"

Chu Huan was taken aback, and wondered, "Has this matter already spread?"

Yingren laughed and said, "Chu Huan, do you know who in Beijing has the best news?"

Chu Huan shook his head.

"It's not Menxia Province, it's not Zhongshu Province, and it's not Shangshu Province." Ying Ren said with a smile: "The best news is the eunuchs and maids of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If there is something wrong in any corner of Beijing, it won't take long. According to their mouths, Sun Desheng is my king's ears, even though I'm staying in the palace, this king is very clear about things outside the palace."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Your Highness is wise."

"Don't be wise." Yingren approached and said softly: "Chu Huan, didn't you say that we should hide our strengths and bide our time, and fight without fighting? Why did you make trouble in the household department first? Not only did you beat Dou Yi , and forced him away, isn't this making enemies for yourself?"

Chu Huan smiled wryly, "Your Highness thinks I want this?"

"Then...then you don't want to, why do you want to do that?"

"Your Highness, dare to ask, have you ever seen a military officer in the household department before?" Chu Huan stared at Ying Ren and asked, "The Holy One is wise and wise. Do you think it's just a whim to put me in the household department as a warrior?"

Yingren scratched his head and said in doubt, "I don't understand."

Chu Huan lowered his voice, and said solemnly: "Warrior's entry into the civil service is self-evident, and it is to be arbitrary. The wise emperor transferred me to the household department. In fact, he wanted me to perform martial arts in the household department. There is a lot of trouble at the household department, otherwise there is no need for such an arrangement. If I honestly work in the household department, within a month, I will be transferred out of the household department and will no longer be reused!" With a wry smile: "I am in the household department. The tossing and tossing of the Ministry is just doing according to the wishes of the Holy One!"

"Yes... is it the emperor's secret decree to you?"

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "The Holy Majesty will not issue such a decree. It will only be understood by myself. If I cannot comprehend it, I am not worthy of doing such an errand for the Holy Majesty!"

Ying Ren frowned, and said puzzledly: "Actually, this king is also very strange. You are a military general, and you should be named a military officer, but you are sealed into the Ministry of Household Affairs. It is really unexpected." After thinking for a while, he asked softly. : "Why did the father do this? Why did he want you to go to war in the Ministry of Households?"

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "The sacred heart is like the sea. As a minister, you don't have to think about it, and you can't think about it. You just need to do your job with all your heart."

Yingren understood, and said: "I'm surprised, you just entered the household department, it's impossible for you to be so careless, so you guessed the meaning of the father." Leaning on the carriage, he wondered: "It's just why the father wants Do you want to do this? The Ministry of Households is where my Daqin money and food are, and it is an important place. Why did my father let you make waves in the household department? Chu Huan, don't guess what your father is thinking."

"No." Chu Huan shook his head and said with a smile, "If I guess wrong, I have already been expelled from the household department, and my head has even fallen to the ground."
