Chapter 40
Li Qingyou was stunned at first, and then said with joy on his face, "Is there any news?"
Zhang Tieniu nodded. He had inquired with many people these days, and after getting a little bit of information, he hurriedly came to find her.
"What's going on?" She knew that there must be something behind the death of the old couple.
"Well, I'm a little thirsty and want a drink of water." Zhang Tieniu coughed, thinking sourly that Qingyou was unwilling to even call him Brother Tieniu.
Only then did Li Qingyou come back to her senses and hurriedly let him into the room. Then she poured tea for him and said, "Drink some water first and speak slowly."
Zhang Tieniu had thought of repairing the relationship, but when he saw the newly hung painting in the main room, he suddenly became angry and couldn't hold it back any longer. This painting must have been given by the poor scholar.
"Ahem, sister Qingyou, the flowers I gave you..." Why don't you wear them?
His paintings are all on the wall, but his flowers are so shameless?
Zhang Tieniu felt extremely sad.
"Flowers?" Li Qingyou said suspiciously, "I'm keeping them carefully. What happened to my parents?"
What are you doing with the flowers if you don’t wear them?
Zhang Tieniu didn't understand very much, but he didn't dare to say anything more, so he started talking about the old couple of the Li family, "I heard that it was the bandits from Qingfeng Mountain who did it. It seems that Uncle Li offended someone."
"Is that a vendetta?" Li Qingyou frowned and thought it was unlikely, "But the money was not lost. How can any bandit or robber not love money?"
Even if you just pick it up casually, you will definitely have to look through it.
"What if they didn't find it?" Zhang Tieniu also felt strange, but he was not at the scene when the incident occurred, but he only heard a few words from his colleagues occasionally.
Li Qingyou shook his head again, "There are no signs of being turned over in the house."
That's why it's strange.
"I feel that this matter is not simple. The county magistrate does not allow his subordinates to talk nonsense, and he cannot say anything about this case. Maybe there is some inside story." He also invited Shen Si to have a drink, and they
The two have a good relationship, so we found out such a little bit of information.
Li Qingyou stroked his chin and thought deeply. There was definitely something inside, but what kind of enemies could two ordinary people selling tofu have?
The case was complicated and confusing, and the county magistrate was secretive. Zhang Tieniu knew that it would be extremely difficult to find out, and solving crimes was not his specialty, so after thinking about it for a while, he stopped thinking about it.
I looked up at the paintings on the wall. The more I looked at them, the more awkward and uncomfortable they became.
"Sister Qingyou, you'd better put this painting away." Zhang Tieniu tentatively said: "We are just ordinary people, and it looks awkward to hang such a thing."
It's best to take it off and throw it into the pit to burn.
Li Qingyou raised his head suspiciously, "No, I think it's pretty good-looking. The ones hanging in Fuji Restaurant are not as good-looking as this one."
Feng Wenru is really talented. Even if she can't see the real artistic conception, she can still tell the difference between good and bad.
His painting style is very light, unlike those complicated paintings, which are gorgeous and flamboyant. His paintings only use a few simple strokes to outline a very ethereal artistic conception, giving people a clear and spiritual feeling.
"Wouldn't it be a waste if a rat knocks me out of this?" Zhang Tieniu said anxiously, "It's not as good as looking at the New Year pictures, which are lively."
Li Qingyou was amused, "Hang it on the wall, how can a mouse have that ability?"
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe he will become a spirit?" Zhang Tieniu was unwilling to accept it. It would be best if the rat was knocked tonight.
Li Qingyou didn't care, "How can there be so many spirits?"
He has quite a lot of ideas.
Unable to let Li Qingyou take down the painting, Zhang Tieniu was extremely depressed. He kept his head down and said nothing. After a while, he stood up and said goodbye, "There is something else in the yamen, so I'll leave first."
It is true that something happened in the yamen, and it is also true that he was upset when he looked at the painting, otherwise he would really not be willing to leave.
"I'll see you off." Li Qingyou also stood up and walked Zhang Tieniu to the gate. He suddenly stopped and said, "Sister Qingyou, I heard from the shopkeeper that the silk flowers will become out of fashion after a while."
So put it on quickly.
Li Qingyou was a little surprised by his obsession with silk flowers. In fact, she was not used to wearing flowers. As a modern person, she always felt that it was a bit silly to put a flower on her head. It would be better if it was a hairpin or something.
Besides, she is busy at home all day long. Who can she show the flowers to?
If it gets dirty again, it will be in vain.
But looking at Zhang Tieniu's eager eyes, Li Qingyou nodded cooperatively, "Okay, I'll wear it when I go out one day."
Zhang Tieniu's depressed mood suddenly brightened up, he showed his big white teeth and nodded vigorously, "Well, you must wear it."
Show it to him. Girl Qingyou will definitely look better wearing it.
Li Qingyou also smiled, "Okay."
After sending Zhang Tieniu away, Li Qingyou stood at the gate and looked out for a while. It was almost dark and her brother hadn't come back yet. She was a little worried and thought that she would have to restrain him until tomorrow.
It's really not easy for a little girl to run around all day long.
After a while, he thought of the old couple again, and Li Qingyou felt confused. She returned to the main room and looked at the paintings for a while, and then her mood gradually calmed down.
"I didn't expect a painting to have the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind." Li Qingyou said happily, then looked up, "But the painting is indeed quite good."
"What's good?" Adi suddenly said something from behind, startling Li Qingyou. She turned around and pointed at the painting on the wall. Unexpectedly, he frowned after taking a look at it.
"That sour scholar gave it to me?" Adi didn't hide the disdain in his tone. He looked at the painting carefully and his face became even more ugly. "Scholar people don't want to make progress. What's the point of talking about fame when they do all these weird tricks?"
Li Lu is really worthless."
Li Qingyou was stunned for a moment. This was the first time she saw Adi having such a strong backlash, "What's going on? You all don't like this painting?"
Obviously she thought the painting was pretty good.
Adi looked over.
"Zhang Tieniu doesn't seem to like it either." Li Qingyou remembered that he had been persuading her to take off the painting. She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she always felt as if his eyes were spitting fire when he looked at the painting.
Adi raised his little face slightly, and for the first time he felt that the silly big man was not so annoying.
"Is there anything wrong with this painting?" Li Qingyou asked puzzledly.
Adi pursed his lips and said nothing.
The flower in the painting is called lilac, also called Baijie flower, or Su Ke, also called Qing Ke, which symbolizes sorrow or complex. There is a poem that says: Since leaving Nanpu, I saw lilac knots.
And there is a bamboo forest in the distance. Bamboo is a gentleman. The sour scholar compares himself to a gentleman. He really has a big face.
This is clearly a love painting.
"The sour scholar is leaving?" Adi suddenly asked, otherwise why would the bamboo forest be so far away?
Li Qingyou was really surprised now, "How did you know?"
Adi pursed his lips and expressed his longing for me, "otherwise why would he give you the painting?"
