Chapter 183 Nanhuai Mansion (4)

Ban Xiyu was thinking with her head down, when she heard the sound of silence, she left and returned.He looked towards Ban Xiyu with a bit of confusion and bewilderment in his eyes.

Ban Xiyu looked down at the painting in his hand and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wen Jisheng only said: "Why don't you see for yourself."

Ban Xiyu took the landscape painting from him, and the black and white ink painting spread out, with green mountains on both sides, and only a big river flowing around the mountain in the middle.Below the hanging sun are soaring swan geese.Where the birds pass by, there is a five-character poem.

Ban Xiyu looked at the painting carefully, but did not find any clues about "evidence".

Wen Jisheng asked: "How, can you see anything?"

"I still don't see any problem." Ban Xiyu shook her head and said, "This painting is quite satisfactory, and the landscape in the brush is an unusual natural scene..."

Wen Jisheng pointed to the poem in the painting: "What about this poem? Is there a hidden mystery?" Although he can read a few words, he is not a scholar who has read a lot of poetry and books.

He couldn't see whether there was a hidden wit in the poem.

Ban Xiyu: "This poem is also very common. It is neither acrostic nor anagrams. It's just a sentence of emotion praising the great rivers and mountains." After she finished speaking, she herself felt strange:
This is the evidence that should be kept on purpose, and there should be no mistakes.Could it be that there was some other mistake in it, or did she not discover the more crucial details?

"In Ms. Liu's dowry, besides this landscape painting, is there another ancient painting beside it?" Ban Xiyu turned her head to look at Liu Ying: "Ms. Liu, can you come and recognize it?"

Carefully clutching her wound, Liu Ying leaned over to take a look, and said, "This is a good picture. My father told me that this is the only landscape painting I bought from Zhao's pawn shop, and there are no others."

As she spoke, she glanced at Ji Sheng, and said: "Since this elder brother has searched in the carriage, he should be very clear. If there are landscape paintings in that box of paintings, this is the only one."

Wen Jisheng also said: "The box for storing calligraphy and painting is placed in the carriage. It is well preserved and has not been soaked by rain. I have also carefully checked it. The only one that meets the requirements is indeed this painting."

Ban Xiyu: "Since this is the case, then we can only study this painting in detail."

After speaking, she put the painting away again.But when she stroked the back of the painting with both hands, she suddenly paused.She stopped and pressed the paper again, doubts arose in her heart:

Why does this painting paper seem to be thicker than ordinary scrolls?
Before she could figure it out, Liu Ying said: "I have also got the painting you want, so... can I trouble you two to do me a favor?"

Ban Xiyu handed the wrapped painting to Wen Jisheng: "If we can help, Miss Liu, you don't need to be polite, just speak up."

Liu Ying was also a little embarrassed: "It's up to now, to tell you the truth, I don't want to marry Mr. Wu anymore." She said:
"Let's not mention the wind and rain that hindered me, and I was injured because of it. Besides, Mr. Wu's family didn't really want to marry me. If I marry, how can I live a comfortable life?"

Speaking of this, Liu Ying smiled bleakly, and said: "After this experience, I also want to understand. It doesn't matter whether you are rich or honored, money and power are things outside of your body. If you don't bring it with you, you won't take it with you when you die.

"When I was lingering in the carriage, the only thing in my heart was to survive. But if the days to come are suffering, it would be better to die here."

After finishing speaking, Liu Ying suddenly smiled in relief: "So, I don't think it's better for me to marry far away from Beilanzhou. Therefore, I would like to ask the two of you to help me find the dowry in the carriage and send it back to Nanhuai Mansion together."

Hearing this, Ban Xiyu and Wen Jisheng looked at each other, and she smiled immediately: "It's good for you to think so, don't worry, not only your dowry, but even you, we will send it home intact .”
