Luo Wenjia still want to argue, but the huperetes has pull him out the door. Luo Wenjia struggled climb up from the ground, but see the door of judgement hall has been closed, several huperetes waited at the door, don"t allowed him go near. He had pointed to the judgement hall and shouting: "I don"t believe! I don"t believe that there is no justice in the world! I don"t believe Nangong family can covering the sun with one hand! Since Yangzhou magistrate regardless our problem, I will tell it to Nanjing Puisne Judge. If the Puisne Judge also ignores me, I will go to capital to complain to the case!" After he finished speaking, he turn round to go, but unexpectedly he almost collided with a man, he looked up, the man is just Nangong Fang, clothes white as the snow, casual and elegant bearing.
Nangong Fang with a soft smile: "Xiucai Luo, don"t make me laugh, I, Nangong Fang, I has always been law-abiding, do you think I will fear of slander of others? But Xiucai Luo, you should be careful, make sure you won"t make trouble and be thrown into prison, if so you will disgrace your scholarly dignity, make the ancient saints and sages ashamed of you! "
Luo Wenjia turned away with a dismissive hum. Nangong Fang watched him walk away, the smile on the face gradually turned into a sneer. At this time, Fei Shiqing rushed out the door.
"Third childe, don"t have to worry about him!" Fei Shiqing smiled and said, "That ungrateful poor Xiucai has turned away by me."
"I"m afraid that is not enough." Nangong Fang said dismissively, "If he really took the written complaint go to capital, although he hasn"t any evidence, but if it spread to the ears of these s.h.i.tizens, but it also will caused a prestige loss of our Nangong family."
Fei Shiqing in a daze for a second, then said: "You are right, I must find a way to stop him."
Nangong Fang smile dismissively: "My Lord, you should sent someone to shadowing him, maybe he will violate the law and commit crimes."
Fei Shiqing feel strange, and asked: "Do third childe found him commit crimes?"
Nangong Fang smiled indifferent: "Perhaps not immediately, but I believe he will soon do it."
Fizz Qingxin with an air of quiet understanding and nodded: "Rest a.s.sured, third childe, I will send people shadowing him. Once we found his misconduct, we will immediately arrest him!"
"So the public security order is rely on you to maintain, My Lord!" Nangong Fang hand bow to him. Two people with an air of quiet understanding smiled at each other, they all see the commitment from each other"s eyes.
Walking in the streets of Yangzhou, Luo Wenjia find himself only has a little sliver ingots. This money not just inadequate to hire a carriage to Nanjing, but even go on foot, probably it still not enough to pay for accommodation and food. He is in a slightly awkward, a small shop on the street attract his attention. He went in and when he go out, he hold a banner proclaiming in his hands, it noted "Ghostwrite letter home or couplet, also can draw Water Ink Of Mountain & River, figure portrait".
Held up the banner, Luo Wenjia gradually feel emboldened in his heart. Although money is not enough, but with his good calligraphy and painting skills, while earn money whill go to provincial capital, it should not be a problem. But after he pick up the banner walk through five streets, his confidence began to shake. Although there are many people on the streets, but no one cast a glance at his beautifully banner, also no one asked him to write a couplet or paint.
When the sky gets dark, Luo Wenjia gradually feel depressed, he hopeless folded up banner, just wants tear it to pieces, but heared a softly voice: "Can you draw?"
"Yes! Of course!" Luo Wenjia while promised while turned, he found behind him she is a girl dressed in green, about 14 or 15 years old, look very cute. Luo Wenjia quickly unfurled banner and said: "Writing and painting are my specialty, I practice calligraphy from five years old, practice painting from seven years old, until now it has been more than ten years! Little girl, what do you want? Landscape of Ink painting or fine-style figures? Or is the flowers and insects?"
The little girl smiled gently: "It wasn"t me want you to draw, is my miss. She order me find a painter to painted a portrait of her today, because I just go out then meet you, so I ask you."
"Portrait? No problem, no problem!" Luo Wenjia said, "I can go to draw for her now!"
"However," the little girl said, "My miss have a condition."
"What condition?" Luo Wenjia asked.
"You must blindfold yourself, and you will not be allowed to peek, then I"ll take you there." The little girl said, "And no matter what happened, you can"t tell this thing to anyone, you have to swear."
Luo Wenjia in a daze for a second, this condition is the first time he heard it, but he on second thoughts, perhaps the miss is living in a wealthy and influential family, big family has strict rules, she does not want a strange man guessed his family background. Think of this, he nodded: "There is no problem, I swear, I won"t tell anyone!"
Luo Wenjia obediently let the little girl use a veil pulled over his eyes, let her holding onto a soft and comfortable carriage. After a time, the carriage stopped, and heared the little girl let out a whoop of joy: "We have arrived!"
The little girl holding Luo Wenjia out of the carriage, followed her through the corridor, finally stopped in a warm and fragrant room, the little girl said: "You can take down the veil."
Luo Wenjia take off veil, he found himself is in a young girl"s room, the room as warm as in spring, right in the middle there is a chair, a limply and idle beauty laying on it, her face like peach blossom, her eyes summon spirits, is an amazing beautiful girl. Luo Wenjia with a red face lower his head, dare not to look around.
When he paint the portrait for the Miss "Yi Yun", Luo Wenjia hear his heart like a deer in the bounce, if he isn"t in painting, he even dare not to look at the beautiful eyes of Miss Yi Yun.
After a long time, Luo Wenjia finally released a sigh, put down the pen and stand up. At the side the little girl looked at it, immediately surprised said: "Wow! That"s really wonderful! You really didn"t lie to me!"
"Xiao Cui! Let"s thank Luo childe!" Yi Yun said, than Xiao Cui immediately brought a package from the back room, handed it to the hands of Luo Wenjia. The package is heavy, Luo Wenjia is trying to open it and take a closer look, but Yi Yun hold his wrist: "Luo childe, please don"t open it on the spot."
Luo Wenjia clumsy nodded, but see Yi Yun with a soft smile: "Xiao Cui, send Luo childe back."
