Chapter 95
Lu Jian's heart was relieved, and after walking two steps, he suddenly saw a faint figure among the flowers, and when he looked closely, it was Ning Ning.She was sitting among the flowers, with a low table in front of her, and a large rice paper was spread on the table.The girl picked up a brush, dipped it in Danqing, contemplated for a while looking at the flowers and plants in the garden, added one or two strokes on the paper, thought for a while, and added two more strokes.

Lu Jian walked quietly behind her and looked down. On the paper, there were a few clusters of pearl orchids roughly drawn, with a few brushstrokes, showing the elegance and charm; on the left side, a peony was painted, which was rendered in a subtle way, complementing the orchid.

Lu Jian looked at it comfortably and praised "Yes".Ning Ning didn't expect him to come, she was startled, the nib of the pen trembled slightly, and a few smudges fell on the rice paper.

Lu Jian shouted: "It's too bad." Ning Ning got up in a hurry, turned her back to block the painting, her cheeks were pale and rosy, and there was a bit of annoyance in her eyes.Lu Jian scratched his head and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for disturbing your drawing."

Ning Ning stared at him and said angrily, "Why don't you lie down properly, but come out to wander around?" Lu Jian smiled unconsciously, and said, "I'm a big man, how can I always lie on the bed?" Ning Ning Glaring at him, he said, "You are a man and a patient, go back to your room."

But all men, no matter how old or young, wise or foolish, will inevitably be shameless when facing a beautiful woman.Although Lu Jianren was honest, he was unavoidably vulgar. Not only did he not go back to his room, but he sat on a rock and said with a smile, "I'll just sit for a while to get some air."

Ning Ning looked at him, a little helpless, sighed, and was about to pack up the painting utensils when Lu Jian suddenly said, "Why don't you draw?" Ning Ning glanced at him and thought, "How can I keep painting when you look at him like this? What?" But Lu Jian said, "This painting is very beautiful. It would be a pity if it is not finished. Oh, it's all my fault. I was surprised and spoiled your good painting."

Seeing his guilty face, Ning Ning couldn't bear it, and said: "You are not good, but this painting is not dirty." Spreading out the rice paper, swiping a brush to stain a little bit of ink, it turned into a bluebottle, slender The waist is light and the wings are light, and the torn paper is about to fly; the other three points of dirty ink are connected and outlined, and it is described as a big butterfly flying through the flowers, chic and lovely.

Ning Ning finished ticking off the unfinished flowers and plants one by one, and asked, "Tell me, what's the name of this painting?" Lu Jian thought for a while and said, "Just call it 'Butterfly Playing Flowers Picture', okay?" Ning Ning Hearing that his cheeks became hot, he thought to himself: "Look at you, you are honest, but you are not honest when you choose a name." Even though I thought so, I still wrote the name in the book according to what Lu Jian said.

Lu Jian looked at the painting full of praise.Ning Ning heard it funny, and said, "You just say it's good, what's so good about it?" Lu Jian was tongue-tied, and said for a while, "It just looks good, but as for the good thing, I'm a rough person, but I can't tell."

Ning Ning smiled slightly, and said: "What a rough man, with just these two words, he can push it cleanly. Well, there is something unreasonable in this painting, can you see it?" Lu Jian spoke again. Dazed, he scratched his head and said, "I'm a rough person..."

Ning Ning said with a smile: "These two flowers have different flowering periods. The peony blooms in late spring, but the pearl orchid grows in summer. I drew them together, which is really a big nonsense. You just say that the painting is good, you are really a fool One..." Glancing at Lu Jian, his eyes narrowed a bit.

Lu Jian blushed, coughed twice, and said in dissatisfaction: "No matter what, it's good-looking. Someone once said that your robbery lies in your eyes, so you can draw well." Ning Ning wondered, "Who is it? "Lu Jian said: "Sister Xianbi, she is a master of the Ministry of Earth."

Ning Ning snorted softly, and said coldly, "You know a lot of girls." Lu Jian couldn't prevent her from saying such a sentence, but was puzzled when she heard Ning Ning sigh, and said, "I can draw a little It’s not good, sometimes, I think very well in my heart, but I always draw something wrong, alas, I am far behind the great painters of all ages.”

In Lu Jian's mind, the only thoughts about paintings were "good-looking" and "bad-looking", but he didn't know anything about "good eyes but low hands".Ning Ning stared at the painting, fascinated. Unexpectedly, the peony was so beautiful and lifelike that it attracted a bee, buzzing around the flower, but she didn't know what to say.

Lu Jian said with a smile, "I said yes, but you still don't admit it, now even Feng'er has been recruited." Ning Ning listened to him repeatedly saying yes, at first she didn't care, but after hearing too much, she felt a little complacent.But seeing Lu Jian coughing twice again with a dejected look, she couldn't help but said, "The medical book says, 'Walk widely in the courtyard', let me walk with you." She helped Lu Jian up and walked along the path among the flowers.

Lu Jian couldn't help but ask, "Miss Ning, where is this?" Ning Ning said, "It's the garden of a friend of the master." Lu Jian said, "Where's Mr. Shen?" Ning Ning said, "They're going to find out about Ning Bukong's whereabouts." I can see that the master is very worried about this matter." Lu Jian snorted, and said: "No wonder, Ning Bukong is not only cunning, but also vicious, and now Sha Tianhuan is helping him, just like a tiger giving birth Wings. When you see Mr. Shen, you must tell him to be careful."

Ning Ning pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "For some reason, I always feel that the name Ning Bukong is familiar to me, I seem to have heard it somewhere." Lu Jian smiled, then sighed softly, stopped walking, looked at A clump of ursium trance.Ning Ning asked strangely, "What's wrong with you?" Lu Jian's eyes were in a daze, "I don't know what happened to Ah Qing?"

Ning Ning felt sore, and suddenly said: "Don't worry, girl Ah Qing is rewarded for being a good person, she will be fine." Lu Jian blushed, held her hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Miss Ning, your auspicious words , I will remember all my life..."

Ning Ning silently withdrew her hand.Lu Jianfang felt rude and said nothing.After a while, Ning Ning asked again: "You said that Ning Bukong was your robber, so why did you become a robber?" Lu Jian told the story and asked, "What about you?" Ning Ning said: " I am an orphan. When the master took me in, I was very young and knew nothing. Later, the master asked me to practice "Book of the Black Sky", and I practiced it. It is not as twisted as you said."

Lu Jian sighed: "Mr. Shen is fine with other things, this slave-making thing is too abominable." Ning Ning said calmly: "It's okay if you get used to it." Enter the garden.Ning Ning was afraid that people would gossip, so she hurriedly let go of Lu Jian's elbow.

Xue Er yelled from a distance: "Ning'er, look what we brought for you?" She came up with a painting scroll in her hand.Ning Ning took a look at it, and said pleasantly: "Wen Tong's "Snow Bamboo Picture", where did you get it?" Xue Er said: "The master bought it from a poor man, and it cost 200 taels of silver."

Ning Ning nodded slightly, fascinated by the snow bamboo in the painting, she couldn't help but draw with her fingers.Lu Jian asked curiously: "Who is this Wentong?" Ning Ning said: "He is a famous bamboo painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, and he is still related to Su Dongpo. However, it is extremely powerful. Wen Tong’s ink bamboos, Wang Wei’s landscapes, Wu Daozi’s characters, Song Huizong’s flowers and birds, and Zhao Mengfu’s horses are all my favorites.”

Lu Jian frowned and said, "Is the Song Huizong you are talking about a fool?" Ning Ning said, "What does that matter? He is not good at being an emperor, but his paintings are very good." Lu Jian said angrily: " That doesn't work, since he is a foolish king, it doesn't matter if he doesn't learn his paintings."

Everyone faced each other, and suddenly burst into laughter.Lu Jian was very dissatisfied, and said, "What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?" Ning Ning looked at him and smiled slightly, thinking that this person is young, but his mind is really pedantic.Suddenly remembered something again, and asked: "Xue Er, didn't you go to find out the whereabouts of Ning Bukong? Why did you come back?" Lu Jian listened attentively, and Mo Yi said: "The master found out about him and said it was 'Bing' Your god speed', catch up and let us pick you up."

Ning Ning wondered, "What do you pick me up for?" Looking at Lu Jian in a blink of an eye, "What about him?" Mo Yi said, "Master said, if he's not dead, he might as well go together." Lu Jianxi said: "That's the last It's better!" Ning Ning knew that he was concerned about Yao Qing's life and death, and she would not miss any clues, so she couldn't help feeling sad.

The four of them left the garden and hired a carriage to drive south. Ning Ning asked, "Going south?" Mo Yi nodded and said, "Yes, the Ning is also chasing someone." Lu Jian said pleasantly: "Chasing People, could it be..." Mo Yi said, "Don't be happy, the master is just guessing."

Ning Ning contemplated the painting of black bamboo in her hand, as if her mind was wandering, oblivious to these words.However, Lu Jian was full of hope, and his mood followed the bumps of the carriage, up and down, sad and happy.He was still seriously ill, so exhausted, he coughed unknowingly, his lungs were affected, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Ning Ning was taken aback, quickly rolled up the ink bamboo, and said: "Mo Yi, Xue Er, find a place to rest." Mo Yi opened the curtain and took a look, and said: "There is a teahouse in front." Calling the coachman Stop in front of the tea house.

The four of them got out of the car and entered the club. Ning Ning ordered some boiling hot tea for Lu Jian to drink, and ordered some soft snacks.Lu Jian ate two pieces of milk cakes and drank a few mouthfuls of hot tea. He felt much better in his heart, and smiled at Ning Ning.Ning Ning looked at him with a worried look on her brow.

Suddenly hearing the sound of horseshoes, they stopped outside the club, and the tea guests in the club began to discuss quietly.Lu Jian looked around in a blink of an eye, and Ye Fan waved a folding fan and floated in. Six of the eight attendants behind him were tied, their hands and feet were bound, and they looked tired.Lu Jian didn't see Gu Zhen, and he was slightly happy: "Could it be that he was smart and alert, and escaped a catastrophe?"
