As soon as Liu Yunxiang returned to the backyard, Murong Zhixi came in a hurry, asked her what was going on, and asked herself if she could help.

"When I need your help, I will definitely not be polite."

Murong Zhixi nodded quickly, "We don't need to be polite."

"The Chief Auxiliary Mansion hasn't caused trouble for you recently, right?" Liu Yunxiang pulled Murong Zhixi to the Luohan's bed. She is now big and feels uncomfortable sitting. She put a pillow behind her and asked her to lean on it.

"After I heard that you returned home, I sent away all the dowry maids and slaves my mother gave me, and my courtyard had changed a new person. My mother sent me a message and asked me to go home, but I didn't go back because I was unwell. Later, my father came to see me once and asked me if I was angry because they planned to marry my second sister to King Ying. I said yes, but my father didn't say anything, just asked me to raise her well and left."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while and said, "Let me say that, your father and your mother have different purposes. Your father is trying to win over the King of England, while your mother just wants your second sister to marry well. That means that your father and mother will have different attitudes in dealing with this matter. Your father cares more about whether your chess piece is useful. If it is useful, there is no need to add another extra one, and he also risk being indulged with you. Your mother, don't worry, she puts your second sister first, and it can be said that she has given up on you long ago. This is cruel, but you must be clear in your heart and know how to find a balance between here and keep your seat."

Murong Zhixi digested Liu Yunxiang's words for a while, and a sad expression appeared on her face, "I know what you said is right, but I..."

Liu Yunxiang took Murong Zhixi's hand and put it on her belly, "You are about to become a mother. You must be sober and strong enough to protect your children."

Born in the royal family, the British king has ambitions, which means there are many crises.

Moreover, Liu Yunxiang later recalled carefully that the King of Ying succeeded in seizing the throne and ascended the throne. She remembered that it seemed that he had always suffered from having no children. In middle age, he first got a daughter, and then he had a prince, with thin descendants.

If this is the case, Murong Zhixi's child in her belly will not be able to protect her.

Murong Zhixi stroked her belly and then focused her head, "Yun Xiang, you are right, I can't be afraid, I have to protect my child!"

"Well, what's the problem? Remember to discuss it with me."

"good!"

After seeing off Murong Zhixi, Liu Yunxiang called a friend named Chen Chong to her. Zhang Qi specifically mentioned Chen Chong to her, saying that he was good at abilities and could be reused.

"I have two things to tell you to do now."

Chen Chong nodded, "You said."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while and said, "The first thing is that I want you to find a shop, I want to open a study."

"ah?"

This Nanhonglou has become a pit, why do you have to open another shop? Chen Chong expressed his confusion without any concealment.

"Here I help me find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and I want to make Yaji."

"ah?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "You go and do it first."

Chen Chong is tall, strong, and silly. He doesn't look like a smart person, but since Zhang Qi recommends him, Liu Yunxiang has no doubts.

Chen Chong scratched his head and didn't ask much, "Okay, I'll do it now."

The next morning, Liu Yunxiang specially changed into a maid's clothes and asked Chen Chong to choose a well-fitting ready-to-wear from the shop.

Chen Chong changed into a robe and combed his hair, so his temperament was different at once.

"Boss, what are we doing?"

"You go with me somewhere."

When I arrived at Avon Pavilion, there were scholars gathering in front of the door and walking in line. There was a small door next to me. People who came here did not need to line up, so they got the sign and went in.

Liu Yunxiang came forward to inquire and found out that those who entered here were interested in buying calligraphy and paintings.

"My boss is planning to buy a few calligraphy and paintings, can you get the sign?" Liu Yunxiang said.

The one who issued the sign was a middle-aged man. He looked at Chen Chong and said, "I wonder which boss is this one?"

"Nanmozhai."

"Nan Mozhai?" The man thought for a while, "There is this study in the capital?"

"It's not just opened, it's just when the name and paintings are missing." Liu Yunxiang said, taking out a ingot of silver to put it on the man, "My boss is proud and wants to buy ten or eight."

The man looked at Chen Chong again and became lit up. He really looked like a rich man.

"Okay, you two can come in, Tianzi No. 3."

Liu Yunxiang took the sign, waved at Chen Chong, and then walked in. Entering from this small door was the stairs, from here to the second floor, there was a long corridor, and the wings were surrounded by wings.

A friend came forward and saw their sign, so he led them to Room No. 3, Tianzi.

The room is not big, with refreshments on the table and a terrace in front. You can see the Avon Lobby and the chimes playing on the front table.

There was also a mahogany card and ten envelopes on the table. According to the rules, when the drums were singing and selling, the drum sounded. During this period, it would mean that they would be bidding. The drum sounded again. Those who wanted to bid wrote the price change into the envelope and handed it to the people outside. Open the envelope on the spot. The higher the price would be.

The bidders did not show up and hid in these lattice-like private rooms, while the bidders gathered below to watch the fun.

Chen Chong glanced down and said, "There are so many people!"

Liu Yunxiang took a sip of tea, "It's better to have more people."

The music of chimes on the stage stopped and the singing and selling began. I started selling a few inkstones, brush washing, and wolf hair. I started to warm up the venue first. Liu Yunxiang did not bid.

When the next one was the only well-preserved painting by Zhang Jian, a painter of the previous dynasty, it is said that this Jianyi landscape painting was a very famous painter in the previous dynasty. However, because he drew a picture of "Lishan Tu", he painted the palace that the emperor had cultivated in Lishan at that time into the painting. The lights were bright and magnificent, some people said that his painting was an allusion to the emperor.

The emperor was furious and not only killed Zhang Jian, but also burned all his paintings. A generation of painting saints fell, with only a false name and no last works.

"This painting is the painting "Lishan Picture" painted by the painting saint Zhang Jian!" The person who hosted the bidding said excitedly.

There was an uproar below, and people asked Zhang Jian that he had burned all the words, why did he still have the world?

"This "Lishan Tu" was originally to be thrown into the stove, but the then cabinet master Li Zheng spent a lot of money to bribe the people inside and secretly transferred them for him. He kept it in his mansion until the previous dynasty was destroyed, and this painting was transferred to our Avon Xuan."

The people below were already surprised, but the man didn't think it was lively enough. There were traces of burning in two places.

"Let us see the original works!"

"Yes, no matter who buys it, just be kind and let's take a look."
