The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 78 Grandfather and grandson

"Okay, okay, it counts, it all counts! Stop crying now. Where is this all going? I am a patient. After coaxing the old man, I have to coax you, the young one. Is it easy for me? Hmm!" Ye Shangshu was disgusted! Said.

Lu Ziqin raised his hand and wiped his tears, and said, "Then you will be well as you grow old and don't get sick again. What did Dr. Hu say? What's wrong with your old age?"

Ye Shangshu sighed: "Alas! This is my old problem.

More than twenty years ago, the doctor said that I had been ill for a while. I have lived for more than twenty years, and I have already made money...

　　Okay, okay, I won’t say anything anymore. Don’t stare at me. Did your trip go well? Everything done? Have you met someone?

Lu Ziqin shook his head, "The things grandpa told me have been done. The things the emperor told me have not been done well. My grandson left a little late. The man had already left Shicheng. He only drew a portrait based on the neighbor's description and had already entered the palace to present it to the emperor. ”

Ye Shangshu asked disappointedly: "People have left? Do you know where to go?"

Lu Ziqin shook his head, "I don't know. It is said that this person settled in Shicheng a year ago. He rarely goes out and does not go out with the surrounding neighbors. Therefore, there is very little information."

Ye Shangshu asked: "What did the emperor say when he saw the painting?"

Lu Ziqin shook his head and replied: "The emperor didn't say anything. He glanced at the portrait and handed it to Eunuch Gao, and then asked his grandson to go back to the house to visit his grandfather."

Ye Shangshu fell into deep thought. After a while, he sighed slightly and murmured: "It's been sixteen years, how easy is it?"

Lu Ziqin frowned slightly and asked, "Grandpa, why did the emperor ask his grandson to find this person? Also, why didn't the emperor let Long Shadow Guard handle this matter?"

Ye Shangshu turned to look at Lu Ziqin and asked, "What do you think?"

Lu Ziqin met Ye Shangshu's gaze, "Could it be that the emperor doesn't believe in the Long Shadow Guard?"

Ye Shangshu glanced at Lu Ziqin and said, "I don't know whether the emperor believes in Longyingwei. The emperor allows you to handle this matter, which means that the emperor trusts you."

Lu Ziqin leaned towards Ye Shangshu and asked in a low voice: "Grandpa, who is this Wei Ruo?"

Ye Shangshu leaned against the bedside, as if he hadn't heard Lu Ziqin's question, and looked ahead in a daze.

Lu Ziqin raised his hand and waved it in front of Ye Shangshu’s eyes, “Grandpa!”

Ye Shangshu came back to his senses, turned to look at Lu Ziqin, and asked: "Ziqin, did you paint that person's appearance?"

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Well, it was painted by my grandson. What's wrong?"

Ye Shangshu straightened up and asked softly: "Do you still remember? Can you draw another one?"

Lu Ziqin nodded and said, "Yes, grandfather wants his grandson to draw another one?"

Ye Shangshu nodded, "You can draw it for me to see."

 “Now?” Lu Ziqin asked.

 “Well, let’s draw now.” Ye Shangshu urged.

“Grandpa, don’t worry, my grandson is going to paint now.” Lu Ziqin was about to get up.

Ye Shangshu grabbed Lu Ziqin’s sleeve and said, “Let someone bring me pen and ink, and I’ll draw here.”

Lu Ziqin met Ye Shangshu's gaze, nodded and said: "Okay, just paint here." After saying that, Lu Ziqin shouted: "Come here."

 Ru'an came in in response, leaned forward and said, "Old Master, what are your orders?"

Lu Ziqin ordered: "Send me pens, ink, paper and inkstones."

 Ru'an bowed and stepped back.

 After a while, Ru'an brought the things with his servant, ground the ink, spread the rice paper and quietly left.

Lu Ziqin walked to the table, pondered for a while, and picked up his brush to draw.
