Being a Lady of an Influential Family: 373, ancestral portrait (one more)

When Fu Fengcheng and the others returned from visiting the Great Elder, Leng Sa and the others got up and went back to their room to rest.

They live in a small building at the back, just a few steps away.

After returning to the room to wash up and change clothes, Leng Sa lay lazily on the bed and looked at Fu Fengcheng who came out of the bathroom, "How is the elder?"

Fu Fengcheng frowned slightly and said, "Not very good, I'm afraid it won't last for a few days." Shen Chong said that if they came a few days later, it was not a lie that they might not see the Great Elder.

I am old and have been ill since last year. It is not easy to survive until now.

Walking to the bed and sitting down, Fu Fengcheng reached out and pulled Leng Sa up, touched her still wet hair and frowned. She turned around and took the towel she had thrown on the bedside table, wrapping her hair and gently rubbing it.

"Don't keep your hair wet, you will have a headache in the future." Fu Fengcheng urged.

Leng Sa rested comfortably on his lap and said, "You still say me, you're not the same?" Master Fu is sometimes rougher than her. After washing his head, he rubbed his head with a towel twice without dripping water, and it was done. .

Fu Fengcheng said, "I have short hair and dry fast."

Leng Sa opened his eyes and glanced at his hair, feeling a little anxious, "Then I'll cut my hair short too."

"No." Master Fu categorically refused, squinting his eyes coldly, and said unhappily, "No?"

Fu Fengcheng lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "Madam's long hair looks better."

Leng Sa said: "It's very troublesome." Master Leng had short hair in his previous life. Except for the ones she couldn't win and the ones she couldn't fight, who would dare to say that she was not good-looking?

Fu Fengcheng said, "I'll wipe my wife's hair." Seeing his serious face, Master Leng could only reluctantly say, "Seeing that you are so sincere, then... well."

Fu Fengcheng chuckled lightly, "Be good."

"..." Be good to your sister.

The two chatted while wiping their hair, talking about Chu Miao coldly.

Fu Fengcheng was a little surprised, "Madam likes that child?"

He knew that Madam was very interested in Shenyou Island, but he didn't expect to really get along with the child.

Although Leng Sa is usually fond of children, in Fu Fengcheng's opinion, that kind of love is no different from loving pretty, well-behaved kittens and puppies. I just saw that I could reach out and touch, hug, or even kiss, but if I really want her to support her, I'm afraid it will be troublesome.

Leng Sa nodded and said, "I like it very much. This little girl will look like a stunning little beauty in the future, and she is also smart and cute."

Fu Fengcheng frowned and thought for a while, "Does Madam want to bring her back to Yongcheng?"

Leng Sa was also stunned, touched his hair that was almost dry, sat up and looked at him, "Even if Shenyou Island is taken over by An Xia, Chu Miao should inherit a lot of private property, right? Trouble?"

The main issue is money. If the Fu family wants Chu Miao's custody, others will inevitably wonder if the Fu family covets Chu Miao's property.

Fu Fengcheng shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal, the Chu family has a lot of property, but the previous head of the Chu family made a proper plan with the first elder before he died."

Leng Sa was a little curious, "How did you plan?"

Fu Fengcheng said, "The Chu family will take half of the gold accumulated over the years and distribute it to all those who have worked for the Chu family over the years. In addition, the residents of the entire Shenyou Island will be exempt from tax within one year of the official taking over. Except for this mansion, the Chu family's property on Shenyou Island is donated to the country. The overseas property is taken care of by the Chu family, who will not take over until Chu Miao is 20 years old, but the cabinet will send people to check the accounts every year. The things that the Chu family has accumulated over the past dynasties, except for Chu Miao's own frequently used things, are all recorded in the book and deposited in the Anxia Bank.

Leng Sa thought about it for a while and nodded: "This is not bad. Having an official account check can also prevent the people below from enriching their own pockets."

In fact, there are still many omissions, but the Chu family clearly understands the principle of keeping the big and letting go of the small. That's fine, if the Chu family really didn't leak at all, Anxia officials wouldn't be greedy for these things even for the sake of the country's dignity, but the people on God Bless Island would not be happy.

The human heart is always greedy.

Fu Fengcheng said, "Actually, when the Chu family became the head of the family and the first elder, he wanted to sell all the properties and exchange them for cash and deposit them in the bank. After all... Chu Miao is a girl, and when she grew up, she didn't necessarily like to work from Business. Even if she wants to start a business in the future, she will naturally be able to start all over again if she has a lot of money.”

Leng Sa was a little surprised, "Then why..."

Fu Fengcheng shook his head and said, "Such a large amount of cash is more troublesome than those industries. Those industries are overseas, and the Chu family will naturally choose people they trust to take charge. Even if the Chu family has any thoughts in life, there will be people sent by the cabinet to watch. Yes. Changxiu is well-informed and will inform us if there are any major problems. It's only ten years since Chu Miao became an adult, and nothing major will happen. Even if it is to be sold, it can be waited for Chu Miao to be the master in the future. "

Leng Sa thinks about it, and it seems that this is the same reason. It is self-evident that the industry that everyone is staring at overseas is not easy to cash, and a large amount of huge wealth is more likely to attract people to take risks.

"So the Chu family has already negotiated? Then we can go back as long as we hand over?" Leng Sa said.

Fu Fengcheng said: "It is reasonable to say so."

They only need to hand over to the Chu family, and then bring Chu Miao and the Chu family's property back. Of course, some people will be left to deal with the daily affairs of Shenyou Island, and soon Anxia will send people here.

However, in view of the mining island found near Shenyou Island, the people who come here will definitely not be the only ones from the capital. They should all send people.

Leng Sa is satisfied, "I hope everything goes well, let's go back soon."

"Hmm."

In the evening, the Chu Mansion held a banquet for everyone. Not many people were all the prominent figures in Azure Cloud City and the subordinates of the Chu family~IndoMTL.com~Get cash] Follow vx public.Public number【 Book Friends Base Camp~IndoMTL.com~ You can also get cash!

Leng Sa can clearly feel that these people seem to be divided into two factions. One faction, led by Shen Chong, supports the return of Shenyou Island to Anxia, ​​so they are friendly and kind to them. The other faction, headed by Yuan Cheng, obviously rejected them.

Leng Sa found Chu Miao hugging her knees huddled on the sofa in the corner of the banquet

This kind of banquet was originally an intrigue and conspiracy between adults. Even if Chu Miao was the real master of the Chu family, no one would think that she could talk to her about anything serious at her age, so the little girl was sent back to her side. The entourage hides in the corner alone and no one cares.

"Why are you here alone?" Leng Sa walked to her side and sat down, asking with a smile.

Chu Miao looked up at her, her eyes were a little red, "Sister Sa Sa."

"What's wrong?" Leng Sa asked softly while rubbing her little head.

Chu Miao glanced at the lively banquet not far away, and whispered, "The Great Elder...the Great Elder is going to die."

Leng Sa sighed in her heart and said softly, "Elder is very old, he is just tired and wants to rest."

Chu Miao stretched out her hand and wiped away the tears that rolled from the corner of her eyes, "Sister Sa Sa don't have to lie to me, I know what death is. I saw it when my father died."

Leng Sa said, "But they all want you to live well. If you are not happy, they will be worried."

Chu Miao nodded, "I know, last year...the Great Elder told me last year, I was just a little sad."

"Do you want to go to Anxia?" Leng Sa asked.

Chu Miao thought for a while before saying, "I want to stay at home, but... I will go to Anxia. The first elder said, I can't stay on God's Blessed Island alone, Uncle Shen and Uncle Shen can't compete with the third elder. He is also working very hard, and I don't want to implicate him anymore."

Leng Sa sighed lightly, rubbed her soft hair and said, "Then go to Anxia with us at ease, don't worry...we will protect you."

Chu Miao blinked and said, "Sister Sa Sa, I will take you to a place."

Leng Sa raised her eyebrows and said with great interest, "Okay."

Chu Miao stood up, took Leng Sa's hand and ran outside, "Follow me."

The attendants not far away wanted to follow them when they saw that they were going out. Chu Miao turned around and said to them, "Don't follow me, I want to take Sister Sa Sa to play!"

Several attendants looked at Leng Sa and felt that there was nothing to worry about, so they nodded respectfully and returned to their original positions.

Chu Miao dragged Leng Sa through the garden and ran all the way to the small building in the middle of the mansion, "Sister Sa Sa, this is where I live."

pulling Leng Sa into the door, waving away the servants who wanted to come forward to greet them, and the two of them entered the study room on the second floor all the way.

Leng Sa is a little curious about what Chu Miao wants to show her. This study should be used by Chu Miao's father and grandfather during his lifetime, and it is quite large. All three walls are neatly filled with various books from floor to ceiling, like a small library.

"Sister Sa Sa, come here." Chu Miao ran behind the desk, climbed directly onto the chair, stood on the chair and took out a thick hardcover book from the book wall behind him.

"Miaomiao wants me to read a book?" Leng Sa took the book from Chu Miao's hand and realized that it was wrong. The weight of the book was wrong.

Leng Sa put the book on the table and opened it. Sure enough, it was not a heavy book, but a box disguised as a book. In other words, the shell of a set of books.

Of course, Chu Miao didn't want to invite her to read a book, but pulled out a picture from several books in the box and handed it to Leng Sa, "Sister Sa Sa, look!"

It was a painting that was slightly smaller than the book. Leng Sa took it over and looked at it but couldn't help but tremble slightly.

That's not a traditional painting method, but a hand-painted style more familiar to Leng Sa's previous life.

There are five beautiful girls painted on it, and the people who painted them are obviously very serious, and they have drawn everyone's demeanor to life.

There is a beautiful woman in a red coat with a saber around her waist, a woman in a blue coat lazily fiddling with a little fox, and a blue-clothed girl with a cute smile and sitting on the ground with her cheeks on her back.

Besides the girl in blue stood two women in white, but if you look closely, the colors of the whites are not exactly the same. One of the two women looked down at the blue-clothed girl with a colder expression, while the one with a gentler smile was talking to the green-clothed woman on the other side.

However, the imagination of the painter is obviously very limited. The clothes of the first three women are completely different styles. It can be seen at a glance that they are not from the same dynasty.

The two women in the back were dressed the same as the girl in blue.

Leng Sa stared at the painting silently for a long time before asking, "Who painted this...?"

Chu Miao said, "This is my mother's painting, but ... she also painted according to the previous painting. The original painting is much larger than this, and is stored in the collection library. My father said that this painting was originally a painting. The one is from Anxia... No, it was given to our ancestors by the distinguished guests of the Great Sheng Dynasty."

Leng Sa was a little puzzled, "Then why did you show it to me?"

The person in the portrait does not look like her. The person in this portrait is drawn according to her previous life.

Chu Miao said, "Dad said that the people in this painting are very powerful and very good people. This... is the ancestor of our Chu family." Chu Miao pointed to the woman in red in the painting.

Leng Sa raised her eyebrows slightly, pointed at the girl in blue in the painting and asked, "Who is she?"

Chu Miao shook his head somewhat bewilderedly, "I don't know, and my father said he didn't know either. Maybe it was a good friend of the old ancestor, after all, it was a long, long time ago. But, of course, the friends of the old ancestor all He's a good guy."

Her father probably didn't think so, after all, the three women's clothes could tell at a glance that they were not from the same era at all.

Leng Sa couldn't help but chuckle, "That's why Miaomiao showed me this painting because..."

Chu Miao said, "Because I think... elder sister Sa Sa is very similar to this elder sister." Chu Miao pointed to Leng Sa in the portrait accurately.

Leng Sa was stunned for a while, then said, "Like it?"

Chu Miao nodded and said, "It doesn't look like it, but it feels very similar."
