Chapter 35: Love You
Lian Niang looked at Xiao Juan carefully and quickly looked away. Then, she looked at Grandma Liu, who was busy.
She made a fist and braced herself.
“Ask away.”
She would do anything to keep her grandmother safe.
Yu Niaoniao pointed to the nearby street entrance and asked.
“Do many people pass through there every day?”
Lian Niang shook her head. “Not many. The only people who can pass that way are practically all the guys and helpers at a nearby liquor store.”
Yu Niaoniaosaid, “Other than the clerk and the helper, was there anyone else?”
Lian Niang recalled carefully. “A few young gentlen dressed as scholars would pass by there occasionally.”
Yu Niaoniao perked up and imdiately pressed on.
“Do you rember what they looked like?”
Lian Niang rubbed the corner of her clothes and said uneasily.
“I only caught a glimpse of them. From a distance, I couldn’t really see their faces, but from the way they were dressed, I’d say they ca from a wealthy family.”
Yu Niaoniao was disappointed.
At this mont, Xiao Juan spoke.
“Any distinguishing marks on them?”
Lian Niang didn’t dare et his gaze. She lowered her head and mumbled.
“They all look pretty young. As for the rest, I don’t know.”
At this mont, Grandma Liu walked over with a plate of pickled radishes.
Lian Niang quickly held her. “Grandma, slow down.”
Grandma Liu placed the pickled radish on the table.
When she was done, she did not leave but asked.
“Why are you asking about these things?”
“We went to that restaurant for a al previously and accidentally left our money bag there. We want to check who has been in and out of that restaurant recently. If we’re lucky, we might be able to find the money bag.”
Grandma Liu did not suspect anything and said.
“I see!”
You can ask about this. Although I can’t see with my eyes, my ears are very sharp.
“I heard the voices of those scholars as they passed the street door.”
Yu Niaoniao imdiately perked up and sat up straight.
They both stared at Granny Liu.
Grandma Liu spoke as she recalled.
“I rember they were discussing a fan. They said that the fan had Master Shangguan’s inscription and signature on it. It was especially rare. It was priceless outside. You couldn’t buy it even if you wanted to.”
Yu Qianqian asked, “Do you rember the specific inscription?”
Grandma Liu waved her hand. “How can I rember? I haven’t read any books. I don’t even understand those poems. How can I rember?”
Yu Niaoniao thanked Grandma Liu.
She turned to the man beside her and whispered a question.
“Do you know any calligraphers with the surna Shangguan?”
Shangguan was a rare surna, let alone a famous calligrapher.
A na imdiately appeared in Xiao Juan’s mind.
“Shangguan Jue.”
Yu Niaoniao looked confused. She had never heard of this person.
ng Xizhou took the initiative to explain, “Shangguan Jue is a very famous calligrapher in the Imperial Capital recently. It’s said that his calligraphy is hard to co by and is very popular. Many young students are proud to get his calligraphy.”
Yu Qianqian was very curious. “Is his calligraphy really that good?”
ng Xizhou said, “I rember that Duke Lang has Shangguan Jue’s calligraphy in his mansion. If you’re interested, you can go to Lang Jun Imperial Palace to admire it.”
Yu Wenxian looked at Xiao Juan with anticipation.
Xiao Qing rejected coldly, “I’m very busy and don’t have ti to receive you.”
Yu grabbed his sleeve and shook him gently. Her voice was so soft it could almost lt soone.
“Please, will you?”
“Don’t wheedle. This trick is useless against .”
Yu Qianqian placed her hands on her chest and squeezed two small hearts.
“Love you.”
Xiao Juan was speechless.
