Before Li Changtian could react, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the fan that was touching his chin.
With a sound of 'click', the wooden skeleton of the ink painting fan was broken by life.
Mr. Lu was startled, he took a few steps back and looked at the culprit.
Yan Shu held the broken ink painting fan with no expression on his face: "I'm sorry, I wanted to take a look at it, but I accidentally broke it."
Mr. Lu: "..."
Yan Shu took out the silver and handed it to Mr. Lu: "I will compensate you, if it is not enough, I will take it."
How could Mr. Lu dare to take it? He glanced at Li Changtian who didn't know why, then looked at Yan Shu, and said with a smile: "Mr. Don't be offended."
Yan Shu didn't say a word, and insisted on handing over the silver tael to Mr. Lu.
Mr. Lu had no choice but to accept the silver.
Li Changtian who was on the side suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, what you mean by broken sleeves is men and men, right? Are there so many men here who like men..."
Mr. Lu smiled and said: "This statement is wrong. Everyone in the world loves beautiful women, regardless of gender. For example, the white-clothed young man next to you is like a banished fairy, and he is really upside down..."
Li Changtian interrupted him coldly: "No matter how good-looking he is, it has nothing to do with you, right?"
Mr. Lu: "..."
Hey! What's the matter with you two!
Mr. Lu asked: "You two...don't come here to have fun, right?"
Yan Shu and Li Changtian: "..."
The two of them didn't know how Mr. Lu saw it, but now that they had seen it, Yan Shu stopped beating around the bush and asked straightforwardly: "Excuse me, is there a girl named Shi Huanian in this workshop?" ?”
Mr. Lu was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed: "It seems that the two young masters are really coming to Jinsefang for the first time."
"What do you mean?" Li Changtian asked.
"The poetic girl that this young man in white is talking about is a well-known figure in Baidi City..." Mr. Lu narrowed his eyes slightly, and curled his mouth, "She... is the owner of Jinsefang!"
Yan Shu was slightly taken aback.
He thought that the person he was looking for was just an ordinary girl, but he didn't know it was such a powerful person.
"Then how can we meet her?" Li Changtian asked.
Mr. Lu seemed to have heard something funny, and it took him a long time to hold back his smile, and said, "My lord, you can't see her, the owner of the shop hasn't seen her since seven years ago, since the two of you didn't come here to have fun Yes, then there is no need for me to guide the two of you, I will take my leave first."
After speaking, Mr. Lu smiled and left.
Li Changtian and Yan Shu looked at each other.
"This..." Li Changtian scratched his head, "What should I do?"
"Ask around." Yan Shu said.
"Okay, then let's ask separately, so that we can get more information." Li Changtian turned around and walked to the flower pavilion closest to him.
Unexpectedly, Yan Shu grabbed his arm.
"Ah?" Li Changtian turned his head and looked at Yan Shu in confusion.
Yan Shu didn't speak, just pulled him like this.
Li Changtian came to his senses, and said with a smile, "What? I'm afraid I'll go find a girl and be addicted to beauty, so I won't help you find clues? You should look at my pocket, look, it's empty, without a penny, how can I find it? girl?"
Yan Shu remained silent.
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you investigate the case!" Li Changtian patted his chest and said vowedly, "If I don't help you investigate, I'm a bastard, okay?"
Yan Shu: "... a turtle... a bastard... an egg?"
"Yes!" Li Changtian nodded, "Turtle bastard!"
Yan Shu looked into Li Changtian's eyes, and slowly let go of his arm: "We meet here at Haishi."
"... when?" Li Changtian asked.
Yan Shu: "..."
Li Changtian: "Anyway, the investigation is almost done, shall we meet here?"
Yan Shu nodded.
"Okay!" Li Changtian replied, he patted Yan Shu on the shoulder to let Yan Shu feel relieved, then got up and walked into the flower pavilion.
Yan Shu followed him with his eyes until his back disappeared into the attic, then he looked away.
Yan Shu didn't go straight into the attic like Li Changtian did. He walked slowly from the street of Jinsefang to the end of the street, silently remembering the carvings of the six attics, the number of floors, and the people who entered and exited the attics.
Finally, Yan Shu stopped in front of Qinglu Pavilion.
Master Lu's words echoed in Yan Shu's ears.
-
"Elegant and quiet, you can't drink alcohol, it's a place to sing drama and talk about rhythm."
"She, seven years ago, has not seen any visitors."
-
Yan Shu didn't hesitate any longer, and stepped into Qinglu Pavilion.
Once stepping into the attic, the sound of singing, dancing and laughter outside all disappeared.
Going further in, bypassing two Panlong vermilion lacquered wooden pillars and a wooden screen, you will be on the first floor of Qinglu Pavilion.
In the center of the Qinglu Pavilion on the first floor is a delicately carved stage.
The rest of the first floor was dark, except for the lanterns and candles on the stage, which illuminated that side alone.
There are actors singing on the stage, singing extremely sadly and desolately.
"Since ancient times, as the saying goes, don't lie to me, success or failure can happen in an instant!"
Yan Shu looked around, but saw that there were no audiences under the dimly lit stage, only the actor singing on the stage.
Yan Shu was startled, got up and took two steps outside, then suddenly stabilized his figure again.
He hesitated for a moment, then turned around resolutely, and stood under the stage, watching the play in the dark without saying a word.
"Oh! General!"
The drums were dense, the singing was sonorous, and the curtain finally came to an end.
The moment the actor stepped back, all the candles on the stage were suddenly extinguished.
The darkness immediately engulfed Yan Shu and the stage together.
