2387 I’m Here to Look for Someone

Gu Xiaowan nodded, indeed, practice makes perfect the more you do.

I didn't expect that a person who looked like a banished immortal would say such a thing.

Sure enough, it was all a lie to banish the immortal for not eating fireworks. When he started eating fireworks, ordinary people like them had nothing to eat.

Gu Xiaowan couldn't help but burst into laughter when she thought of this.

Anan smiled when she saw her: "Is there any problem, princess?"

Gu Xiaowan smiled and shook her head: "No problem, I just think that a person like Nan Gongzi, who is relegated to an immortal, would do such a pyrotechnic thing! Sure enough, all the fireworks in the world are fake. If you eat the fireworks in the world, you won't be able to do it. What happened to us!"

Anan's face suddenly froze, and he glanced at Gu Xiaowan in surprise, his eyes full of inquiry. The shock and inquiry in his eyes quickly disappeared like smoke and clouds. But it didn't escape Zuo's eyes.

She frowned, looking wary.

Gu Xiaowan didn't notice anything strange about Anan. After drinking three cups of tea, she looked up and looked around. I saw a bookcase on the wall behind Anan. There were some antiques and treasures on the bookcase. The others were books. Looking at the different degrees of old and new of those books, I could tell that their owner loved them very much. People of books.

There was a large desk by the window, with a pen stand, an inkstone, and the painting he seemed to be drawing on it.

The painting was not pressed down by anything. The wind blowing in from outside the window sill blew up the rice paper, and then another strong wind blew. The painting was blown down directly, and it was blown off the desk, fluttering. It happened to fall at Gu Xiaowan's feet.

It was a portrait painting.

With just a few strokes of black ink, one person's paintings come to life.

The slender figure is like a fresh lotus emerging from the dust, abandoned and independent. The long and smooth hair seems to be blown gently by the wind, flying fiercely in the wind. The only regret is that this woman's face is not painted. face.

Or maybe the painter hasn't figured out how to draw this woman's facial features to match such a fairy-like temperament.

Gu Xiaowan only glanced at it, then picked it up and handed it back to Anan: "The wind was strong, I accidentally blew it down!"

Anan's hands were not dirty, but he religiously took out the handkerchief and wiped it before taking it. Such a solemn look made Gu Xiaowan, who had just picked up the painting, a little embarrassed.

Anan stood up, put the painting directly back on the table, and then pressed it up and down with a paperweight. In this way, no matter how strong the wind was, it would not fall or break.

Seeing his cherished look, Gu Xiaowan, for some reason, pictured the figure of the faceless woman in her mind.

With just a few strokes, this person has already vividly painted the woman's unearthly temperament, like...

I have drawn it countless times.

Gu Xiaowan quickly put such emotions behind her. This was someone else's business. She really didn't have the habit of prying into other people's privacy.

After Anan finished pressing the painting, he closed the window slightly, then came back to the short table and sat down cross-legged.

He was very tall, and originally he would have been very cramped sitting on the futon. Unexpectedly, he just straightened his body, and his majestic appearance was unforgettable at first sight.

Shen Wenjun asked at this time: "May I ask where Mr. Nan is from? His accent doesn't sound like he's from the capital?"

Anan shook his head: "I am not from the capital, but from the frontier."

In recent years, the border has been tested by the small country of Nanling. Although the Qing Dynasty has prospered, there is no need to fear such a small country. However, they always come and harm innocent people, and some of those people have moved out of the border. , move to other places to make a living.

It seems that Mr. Nan is the same.

Shen Wenjun continued to ask: "Then Mr. Nan came to the capital..."

"Looking for someone!" Anan took a sip of tea and said quietly without thinking.

"Looking for someone?" Shen Wenjun and Gu Xiaoyi were a little stunned for a moment, and then they saw Shen Wenjun immediately said: "If Mr. Nan doesn't mind, I can help you. Although I am not talented, I have Shen's industry in the capital and various prefectures and counties. , Mr. Nan can draw the appearance of that person, I will send people to search everywhere, and I will definitely find the person you are looking for as soon as possible."

Even Gu Xiaowan nodded: "Yes, I also have some properties in my name. Mr. Nan can give us a portrait, and we will ask people to pay attention. There are many people, and it is easier to find than Mr. Nan alone!"

He saved the lives of Gu Xiaoyi and Shen Wenjun, so he should repay him. If he could help him find the person he was looking for, it would be a favor returned to him.

Anan looked at Gu Xiaowan, her eyes were as gentle as water, and then moved away. When she looked at Gu Xiaoyi and Shen Wenjun, her eyes were as calm as a pool of water. Although they were also gentle and watery, they were still a lot more indifferent. .

"No need." Anan shook his head and said, "Even I don't know what she looks like now."

Gu Xiaowan suddenly thought of the faceless portrait of a woman he saw just now. Could it be that that was the woman he was looking for? It’s just that I don’t even have a face, so how can I find it?

Gu Xiaoyi frowned: "You don't know what she looks like, so how can you find her? If you search aimlessly like this, you won't be able to find her!"

"Yes, it is indeed difficult to find." Anan smiled helplessly: "I have been looking for almost ten years! Finally I found some clues. I heard that she was in the capital, so I came here."

"Then have you found her?" Gu Xiaoyi asked hurriedly.

"Maybe I found it, maybe I didn't find it!" Anan's words were ambiguous, which made Gu Xiaoyi a little anxious: "That means I found it, or not?"

Didn't find it? Do you remember her characteristics? Maybe you can find it by relying on those characteristics! "

Shen Wenjun also said: "Yeah, maybe she has some special marks on her body, which would be easier to find. Otherwise, you can tell us if she has any marks, and we will help you look for it again."

Anan shook his head: "I have never seen her, and I don't even know whether she is beautiful or ugly. How can I know what the mark is?"

His words shocked not only Gu Xiaoyi and Shen Wenjun, but also Gu Xiaowan.

"Are you going to find someone you've never met before?" Gu Xiaowan asked doubtfully.
