Chapter 136: I Want to See You Again (3)

Right now, she lowered her head and walked on the corridor of General Yelu’s residence, her heart thumping loudly.

However, the young lady by her side appeared calm and composed.

This young lady wore a common dress and carried goods in her hands, pretending to be her maid. She followed her slowly and calmly.

She looked around discreetly with her round and big eyes, clearing memorizing the environment of the residence.

Sometimes, she even wormed her way into becoming friends with the maids, “Sister, the general’s residence is like a Temple in Heaven. It’s so beautiful that I’m dizzy just from looking at it. Hey, look. That fake mountain looks magnificent.”

That maid smiled and said, “You clearly haven’t seen the world before. That is the front yard. It’s the place where the general handles his business matters and the military strategic location. Don’t mention you, but even we can’t casually enter. If you barge in by accident, you will die. Don’t blame this sister for not warning you beforehand.”

Zhou Xiaoxiao affectionately pulled the maid’s hand and thanked her, even shoving a bag of osmanthus candy from Wangfu Teahouse into her sleeves. She also quickly mingled with that maid.

Under her influence, Lin Qiushui gradually recovered to her normal state.

She remembered Luo Tong’s promise that if this was successful, he’d make her his wife.

The late wife’s maiden family didn’t dare to offend those two noble people.

Thinking of this, she wasn’t scared anymore nor did her legs shake. She lifted her head and chest, bringing Zhou Xiaoxiao to young master Yelu’s yard.

Yelu Abao looked over the scroll that Lin Qiushui brought enthusiastically.

“This Gu Dajia is worthy of being Gu Dajia. What a pity that he only had this one scroll.”

He looked through the scroll when a white sheet of paper suddenly fell out.

“Eh? What is this?”

Yelu Abao caught the paper.

There was a sketch of a woman’s features.

She had exquisite features and looked realistic.

The artist used a reversed type of technique to sketch the eyelashes.

It seemed like it was slightly trembling under the sunlight.

A drop of translucent tear fell down her eyes and it looked like it was about to roll off the paper.

She had a tall nose bridge with slightly pursed lips.

She was a gorgeous and lovely woman that landed on paper.

“This…who drew this?” Yelu Abao was shocked and happy, tugging on Lin Qiushui’s sleeves.

Lin Qiushui took a look and carelessly said, “Young master, this work belongs to one of the nameless artists in the city. His surname is Wu. He has a strange personality and everyone calls him Strange Wu.”

“We received Gu Dajia’s admonitions scroll from him. It took me a lot of effort. He probably carelessly tucked this paper in. Lately, he had been talking about drawing some sort of ten beauties painting, so there were all sorts of paper like this in his house.”

“This…this person is in the city? Quickly invite him over.”

“This person is strange and never accepts any invitation. If young master likes his painting, after he finishes drawing, I can buy it for you. However, he draws very slowly and only finishes a painting after at least one to two years.”

“No, no. I should personally go visit him.”

Yelu Abao’s personal servant said with a difficult expression, “Young master, don’t forget that the lord has ordered for you to stay in the residence and prohibits you from leaving.”

“What do you know? Father is busy with business, so we can just sneak out. How could father find out?”

Lin Qiushui moved up closer and said, “This person lives in the Yanghua Alley. It’s only half an incense stick’s worth of time from here. If young master wants to know, the horse carriage is outside, so I can take you over.”
