Chapter 355 is drawn
After eating a plate of pancakes, Xiao Jiang really couldn't fall asleep. His stomach made his back hot and his whole body felt uncomfortable. As soon as he lay down, he felt like he was going to explode, so he had to get up and continue painting.
Yingzi: "Madam is truly the most hardworking person I have ever met!"
Xiao Jiang accepted this unauthoritative exaggeration with a smile, endured the pain of food stuck in his throat, took out the painting that he had not put away yet and started his artistic creation again.
"Auntie, why do these two look like I've seen them somewhere before?"
Yingzi stuffed the last bit of the pastry into her mouth and stared at the painting with such intensity that she almost wanted to stick two bamboo sticks on her eyelids. She was so focused on the painting that she wanted to comment on every stroke. However, due to her lack of cultural literacy, she could only repeat, "Good, really good."
"look familiar?"
Jiang Shangxian hadn't seen an outsider for a long time. She quickly thought about the people she was familiar with in her mind, but still couldn't think of who this person looked like. However, after Yingzi said this, she felt that the portrait did seem familiar.
"Maybe I painted all night yesterday, so these pictures look very familiar to me." She couldn't believe that Xiao Jiang chose to give up and paint these pictures over and over again. She almost felt dizzy.
Yingzi pressed her forehead against his forehead and thought hard, then suddenly her eyes widened: "Auntie, look, cover your mouth. Doesn't it look like the sickly lady we saw in that temple last time? The maidservant beside her was scolding our guy!"
"Daxingshan Temple!"
After being reminded, Jiang Shangxian's memories began to return. She was afraid that she might be infected with some disease that day, so she kept a safe distance from the woman. She only glanced at her for a moment and said, "It seems that there is a bit of a resemblance. It's just that the person looks... this face..."
Grabbing a pen, he slightly modified his oval face into a thin, melon-seed face. Jiang Shangxian stood up suddenly and said, "It's her, it's her!"
Yingzi also stood up, holding up the painting and said happily: "Auntie, I knew that with your hard work, you would definitely be able to paint well. This painting is much better than the previous ones!"
"No, no."
Jiang Shangxian stared at the painting, something flashing through her mind. She tried hard to grasp it: "Yingzi, I think I've seen this person once before in Cui's mansion."
"Have you seen him? At Cui's house?"
"Yes, it was that day. I think she was called Madam Zhou..."
At this point, Jiang Shangxian's heart began to beat fast. He grabbed the painting from her hand and ran out: "Lao Fan, Lao Fan! Quick, send this portrait to the Dali Temple for Jiulang!"
Old Fan was happily killing fish when he stood up with his hands covered in dirt, looking dazed. "Portrait?"
Oh, this young man is really different. Miss Jiang looks so delicate and weak, but I didn't expect her to have such a good grasp of the feelings for the young man. She even gave him her portrait. Wow...
Jiang Shangxian had no idea this middle-aged man had such a split mind. He said anxiously, "Remember to tell him that this is the combination of the facial features he originally gave me. I once saw the woman in this portrait at Cui's residence. I heard the maidservant beside the lady say her name was Madam Zhou..."
"Madam Zhou?" Although he didn't know what the portrait meant, Old Fan was a little disappointed when he heard that it was not a portrait of Jiang Shangxian. The old bird of love could not do it today.
"Feng Ling, go to Cui Mansion..."
Jiang Shangxian blurted out that he wanted to have another guard go to Cui Mansion to tell Zhao Yue and the others as well. Then he remembered that Zhao Yue and Cui Shuhua were not in the mansion today. He pursed his lips and said, "When you return to the mansion, first check to see if Lianhuan is by Madam's side. If not, go find Qiaoxiang. If only Guizhi is there, then come back."
Huirong has been on a business trip for a long time, and Guizhi is too impulsive. Xiao Jiang is afraid that it will cause trouble if he tells her about this, so it is better to talk about it in the evening.
"Yes."
Not long after the two of them left, there was a knock on the Jiang family's door.
"Auntie Jiang!" Li Xueyan ran in like a gust of wind carrying the scent of roses, pulled up the Jiang Shangxian and was about to run out: "Hurry, let's go to the farm!"
"Etc., etc!"
Xiao Jiang pressed his heels firmly against the bricks on the ground: "I can't go today. I didn't sleep all night last night, and I need to get some sleep!"
Old Madam Xia rushed over to rescue her granddaughter's wrist: "Jiulang said that until the thief is caught, our family will not be able to leave the house."
"Nonsense, how long has it been going on? If we can't go out until we catch one, then if we can't catch one for a year, won't we be trapped in the house for a year?"
Li Xueyan is a person who can't stay idle at home. She either plays polo or visits other people's homes all day long. In short, it is rare for her to be alone at home.
"Aunt Jiang, you really won't go with me?"
She put her hands on her waist, raised her chin, and looked at people with a quirky look. "Haven't you always been talking about wanting to eat beef? There's a cow that accidentally fell to its death on our farm. I was just about to go watch them slaughter it. If you come with me, I'll give you half of the cow, how about that?"
"beef!"
Xiao Jiang was shamefully tempted. Which good person couldn't stand being locked up for so long, not to mention there was beef!
Beef! She is so greedy!
Don't mention beef with garlic leaves, beef with green onions, braised beef in soy sauce, boiled beef, garlic beef cubes, beef brisket stewed with potatoes, beef with coriander, stir-fried beef with green peppers, braised beef with green onions, cross-legged beef, spring water beef...
Just slice the beef and grill it over charcoal fire. The special aroma that belongs only to beef will make your mouth water just thinking about it.
"Grandma..." Xiao Jiang looked at her grandmother eagerly. She was really greedy. No greedy girl could stand such temptation.
Old Madam Xia was also tempted. Beef is something that one might not eat once a year, but isn’t it dangerous outside?
"Be good, Nian Nu. When you get married, we'll raise beef on the farm. It doesn't matter if one falls to death every now and then. We'll just bear with it for now."
Life is not easy. Xiao Jiang sighed: "Wu Niang, I won't go. You go by yourself."
"Oh, what are you afraid of? I brought a lot of guards with me today, so nothing will happen!" Cui Yi's guards are powerful, but their Jiangxia Prince's Mansion is a title fought for on the battlefield, and all the guards are good soldiers, so how bad can they be?
What's more, Li Xueyan herself is a martial artist, so she is not afraid if someone dares to jump out and do bad things.
The mentality of a warrior is very simple - whether it is a mule or a horse, just take it out for a walk!
She was just trying to persuade him when Old Fan came in hurriedly: "Miss Jiang, I didn't see Jiulang at the Dali Temple!"
"What's going on? Is he out investigating a case?" Xiao Jiang didn't expect her handsome son to be so busy. He had to work overtime at night and had to go out on field work during the day. She didn't know whether the subsidy from the Dali Temple was generous.
