Chapter 371 Ancestral portraits (one more)

  Wait until Fu Fengcheng and the others who went to visit the Great Elder came back, Leng Sa and others got up and went back to the room to rest.

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

   Going back to the room to wash and change clothes, Leng Sa lay down on the bed lazily looking at Fu Fengcheng who came out of the bathroom, "How is the great elder?"

  Fu Fengcheng frowned slightly, “It’s not very good, I’m afraid it won’t last a few days.” Shen Chong said that if they come a few days later, they might not see the great elders. It’s not a lie.

  The old age is high and I have been sick since last year. It is not easy to survive until now.

  Walking over to the bed and sitting down, Fu Fengcheng stretched out his hand to pull Leng Sa up, touched her still wet hair and frowned. She turned around and took the towel she left on the bedside table casually, wrapped her hair and rubbed it gently.

  "Don't keep your hair wet, you will get headaches in the future." Fu Fengcheng exhorted.

   Leng Sa comfortably rested on his lap and said, "You still say me, you are not the same?" Fu Dashao is sometimes more rough than her. After washing his hair, he just rubs it with a towel twice without dripping water.

  Fu Fengcheng said, "My hair is short and dries quickly."

  Leng Sa opened his eyes and glanced at his hair, a little bit ready to move, "Then I will cut short hair too."

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

  Fu Fengcheng lowered his head and kissed the center of her eyebrows, "Madam’s long hair looks better."

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

  Fu Fengcheng said, "I'll wipe the hair for my wife." Looking at his serious look, Master Leng had to reluctantly, "Seeing you are so sincere, then... okay."

   Fu Fengcheng chuckled lightly, "Good."

   "..." Be good, your sister.

  The two chatted while wiping their hair, and Leng Sa talked about Chu Miao.

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

  He knew that his wife was very interested in Shenyou Island, but he didn't expect to really fall in love with the kid.

  Although Leng Sa usually likes children, but in Fu Fengcheng's opinion, the kind of fondness is no different from the fondness of beautiful and well-behaved kittens and puppies. I saw that she could reach out, touch, hug, and even kiss her, but it would be troublesome to raise her.

   Lengsa 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 the madam want to take her back to Yongcheng?"

Leng Sa was also taken aback. He touched the hair that was almost dry and sat up and looked at him, "Even if An Xia takes over the Shenyou Island, Chu Miao should inherit a lot of private property. Will it be troublesome? "

  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 does have a lot of property, but these Chu family’s previous Patriarchs worked out a proper plan with the Great Elder before he died."

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

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 in these years. In addition, the residents of the entire Shenyou Island will be exempt from taxation within one year of the official takeover. The Chu family is in Except for this mansion, all the properties of Shenyou Island are donated to the country. Overseas properties are managed by people from the Chu family. They will not take over until Chu Miao is 20 years old, but the cabinet will send someone to check the accounts every year. There are also Chu family history. Except for the things that Chu Miao used frequently, all the accumulated things are recorded in the book and then deposited in Anxia Bank. Only when Chu Miao is 18 years old can he take it out and dispose of it by himself."

   Leng Sa thought for a while and nodded, “This is not bad. It’s also possible to have an official check the accounts to prevent the people from getting rich in their pockets.”

  In fact, there are still a lot of omissions, but the Chu family clearly understands the principle of keeping big and small. That's good, if the Chu family really didn't miss anything, Anxia officials wouldn't be greedy for these things even for the sake of the country's dignity, but the people on the island would not be happy.

  The human heart is always greedy.

Fu Fengcheng said, "Actually, the Chu Family's appointment as Patriarch and Grand Elder meant that they wanted to sell all their properties and convert them into cash and deposit them in the bank. After all... Chu Miao was a girl, and she didn't seem to like doing business when she grew up. In the future, she wants to start a business, and if she has a lot of money, she can naturally start again."

   Leng Sa was a little surprised, "What about..."

Fu Fengcheng shook his head and said, "Such a large sum of cash is more troublesome than those industries. Those industries are abroad, and the Chu family will naturally choose people they trust to take charge. Even if the Chu family has any thoughts in life, someone from the cabinet will look at it. Wei Long-term cultivation is well-informed, and we will be notified of any major problems. It’s only a decade since Chu Miao became an adult, and nothing major will happen. Even if you want to sell it, you can wait for Chu Miao to be the master in the future."

  Lengzai thought for a while, it seems that this is the same reason. It is self-evident that the industry that is not cashed out by everyone in the overseas, and a large amount of wealth is more likely to attract people to take risks.

   "So the Chu family has already discussed it? Then we can go back as long as the handover is completed?" Leng Sa said.

  Fu Fengcheng said: "It stands to reason."

  They only need to hand over to the Chu family, and then take Chu Miao and the property of the Chu family back. Of course, some people will be left to handle the daily affairs of Shenyou Island, and soon An Xia will send people here.

  However, in view of the mining islands found near Shenyou Island, it is certainly not only the capital who will come, but each family will send people.

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

"Um."

  At night, the Chu Mansion held a banquet for everyone. Not many people were the fascinating figures in Azure Cloud City and the subordinates of the Chu family.

  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 he is very friendly and kind to them. The other faction is headed by Yuan Cheng, which obviously rejects them.

  Leng Sa found Chu Miao, who hugged her knees and curled up on the sofa in the corner of the banquet

This kind of banquet was originally an intrigue between adults. Even though Chu Miao is the real master of the Chu family, no one at her age thinks that she can talk to her on business matters, so the little girl retired one of her entourages. No one pays attention to people hiding in the corner.

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

  Chu Miao raised her head to look at her, her eyes a little red, "Sister Sa Sa."

   "What's wrong?" Leng Sa asked softly, touching 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 lightly sighed in his heart, and said softly, "The old man is very old, he is just tired and wants to rest."

  Chu Miao stretched out his hand to wipe away the teardrops that fell to the corner of his eyes, and said, “Sister Sa Sa, don’t lie to me, I know what death is. I saw it when my father died.”

   said coldly, "But they all hope you are alive. If you are unhappy, they will be worried."

  Chu Miao nodded, "I know, last year... the Great Elder told me last year, I'm 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 elder said, I can't stay on Shenyou Island alone, and Uncle Shen and Uncle Shen can't compete with the three elders. He also It's very hard, I don't want to hurt him anymore."

   Leng Sa lightly sighed, rubbed her soft hair and said, "Then go to Anxia with us, rest assured... we will protect you."

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

   Raised eyebrows coldly, and said with interest, "Okay."

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

  The attendants not far away immediately wanted to follow them when they were about to go out. Chu Miao turned around and said to them, “Don’t follow, I’m going to take Sister Sa Sa to play!”

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

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

   pulled Leng Sa into the door and waved back the servant who wanted to come forward to greet him, and the two of them went all the way into the study on the second floor.

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

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

  "Miao Miao would like to invite me to read a book?" After receiving the book in Chu Miao's hand, Leng Sa found that something was wrong, the weight of the book was wrong.

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

  Of course, Chu Miao didn’t want to invite her to read a book. Instead, he pulled out a picture from a few books in the box and handed it to Leng Sa, "Sister Sa Sa, look!"

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

  That is not a traditional painting method, but a hand-painted style that Leng Sa is more familiar with in his previous life.

  There are five beautiful girls painted on it. The painters are obviously very serious, and they draw everyone's expressions to life.

  There are beautiful women in red clothes with sabers around their waists, women in green shirts lazily playing with a little fox, and a blue-clothed girl with a cute smile sitting on the ground with her cheeks upright.

  Beside the girl in blue clothes stood two women in white clothes, but the colors of the white clothes are not exactly the same. The two women looked down at the blue-clothed girl with a colder expression, while the gentler smile was talking to the Tsing Yi woman on the other side.

  However, the imagination of the painters is obviously very limited. The clothes styles of the first three women are completely different, and you can tell at a glance that they are not a dynasty.

  The clothes of the next two women are the same as those of the girl in blue.

  Leng Sa stared at the painting in silence 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 paintings. The original painting is much larger than this and kept in the collection library. My father said that this painting was originally from An An Xia...No, it was given to our ancestors by the distinguished guests of the Dasheng Dynasty."

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

  The person on the portrait does not look like her. The face of the person on this portrait is painted 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 to the girl in blue in the painting and asked, "Who is she?"

Chu Miao shook his head in a daze, "I don't know, Dad said he doesn't know either. It may be a good friend of the ancestor, after all, it was a long, long time ago. But of course, the ancestor's friends are all good people. Ah."

  I’m afraid her father didn’t think so. After all, the clothes of the three women could tell at a glance that they weren’t from the same era at all.

   Leng Sa couldn’t help but chuckle, "So Miao Miao showed me this painting because..."

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

   Lengsa startled, after a long time, he said, "Does it look like?"

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