All Heavens: From Joy of Life to The Great Feng Night Watchman

"Humph!"

Seeing his daughter's smiling face, Fan Jian's anger suddenly subsided by more than half.

"You still know how to come home! What are you carrying in your arms?"

Fan Ruoruo blinked her big eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering incessantly.

Fan Jian saw this and his heart melted; all his anger had long since dissipated.

Fan Sizhe quickly answered, "It's a gift from His Highness Prince Yong to my sister! He said he'd look at it when he gets home!"

Fan Ruoruo said sensibly, "Father and Aunt are both here, let's open it and take a look!"

Fan Jian nodded in satisfaction. Ruoruo was still as well-behaved and sensible as ever.

Who knows what kind of shady stuff that rascal Li Chang'an would send to his daughter!

Fan Jian summoned a servant and slowly unfurled the scroll.

As the calligraphy and paintings in the scroll appeared before everyone's eyes, everyone held their breath.

A magnificent traditional Chinese painting of flowers and birds, featuring two white geese and several lotus blossoms!

Right next to her was the poem "Ode to the Goose" that Li Chang'an had given to Fan Ruoruo at five o'clock!

Both paintings feature a poem on the left and a painting on the right, but this one is clearly much more exquisite than the one auctioned four years ago!

Liu Ruyu murmured, "Your Highness's paintings of flowers and birds are so lifelike, they're just like they're alive!"

Fan Jian stared at those few lines of slender gold calligraphy, unable to look away for a long time!

"Although His Highness Prince Yong is a bit of a rascal, he is indeed a genius who comes along only once in a millennium!"

"My Slender Gold style calligraphy has improved a lot in the past two or three years. It is slender but not lacking in flesh, and you can faintly see its free and unrestrained spirit!"

"With its powerful strokes and graceful, fluid lines, this calligraphy is unparalleled in the world!"

Fan Ruoruo looked at the two white geese, her face turning bright red.

The painting that was auctioned before only had one goose, but the one I gave myself has two...

The meaning of a pair of white geese is self-evident!

I really want to grow up quickly!

Fan Sizhe said, "In the past few years, the calligraphy and paintings that Your Highness has sold have either only been poems or only flowers and birds."

"This one is an exception! I wonder how much money it will fetch at auction!"

Fan Jian sneered, "Ignorant! This painting truly reflects His Highness's skill; those that have been sold have all toned down their brilliance."

"If this painting were sold, it would be worth at least 100,000 taels of gold!"

The whole family was shocked when they heard this!

"A painting and calligraphy worth one million taels of silver!" Fan Sizhe swallowed hard, then closed his eyes and began to do mental arithmetic.

Fan Jian sneered, "Silly boy, you need to do mental calculations for such a simple number? That's like your father's salary for ten thousand years! Humph!"

After the family had seen enough, Fan Ruoruo had the servant roll up the painting and then hugged it tightly to her arms.

Fan Ruoruo is petite, holding a painting that is almost as tall as herself, her small face filled with happiness and contentment.

Judging from this, Fan Ruoruo will be sleeping with the scroll tonight.

Fan Jian watched with bitterness in his heart, thinking, "My little cabbage..."

……

The Censorate.

The shadowy figure of the Sixth Bureau Chief, dressed in black, suddenly appeared in Chen Pingping's room.

Chen Pingping, who was exercising his arm muscles, looked surprised. "Shadow, is something urgent?"

Shadow said, "It's nothing, I just met someone in the city recently whose lightness skill must be excellent!"

Chen Pingping smiled and said, "Let me guess, it's Wang Qinian, the new son of Prince Yong."

Shadow said emotionlessly, "That's right, he was a notorious thief who had never failed, but he courted death by breaking into Prince Yong's mansion."

“Zhao Gao, who was close to Prince Yong, has already broken through to the ninth rank. Wang Qinian deserved to be arrested.”

Zhao Gao has been following Li Chang'an for almost ten years, and his publicly known cultivation level is the lower ninth rank.

Chen Pingping sighed deeply, "What a pity, I originally wanted to recruit him into the Supervisory Council."

"With Wang Qinian, we can form a powerful duo with Zong Zhui in the Supervisory Council! It's a waste of his talent that he followed Prince Yong!"

Shadow was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "The Prince Yong's mansion has good food and drink, and it's far away from the strife."

"If all I had to do was protect Prince Yong so he could eat, drink, and have fun, I'd join him too if I were Wang Qinian!"

Upon hearing Shadow's words, the weight Chen Pingping was holding suddenly fell to the ground!

"Shadow, you're not serious, are you?!"

Shadow said sullenly, "There are too many things in life that are beyond our control. How can everyone be as carefree as His Highness Prince Yong?"

Chen Pingping chuckled, "The Second Prince has been granted the title of Prince and will soon be involved in politics."

"Do you think His Majesty will allow Prince Yong to continue to live so freely?"

"Just wait and see!"

Chapter 33 The Ninth-Rank Lady Who Tames Her Husband! Teng Zijing's Ordeal!

Kyoto Nishi Market.

At the entrance of a rouge and spice shop that was doing brisk business.

Wang Qinian and an ordinary-looking young man were watching the young women coming and going.

The young man was Li Chang'an in disguise. He was too famous now to stroll around the streets in his true form for an extended period of time.

Li Chang'an's real purpose in strolling around the city with Wang Qinian and discovering usable talents was to go shopping.

Wang Qinian nervously rubbed his hands, looking very uneasy, because he had come to flirt with beautiful women.

The woman he had his eye on was Miss Gao, the female owner of the shop.

Too nervous, he tried to make conversation, "Young Master, look how well this shop's name is chosen, 'Gao Lao Zhuang'!"

Li Chang'an ignored him. Recently, the magazine "Stone Chronicles" started serializing Journey to the West, and it happened to be updated to the Gao Village.

This shop, which is trying to ride the wave of popularity, has a powerful background; it is an outer outpost of the Luo Wang organization.

The intelligence outpost was only responsible to the scribe who controlled the capital's intelligence network; the only other people who knew about it were Li Chang'an and Zhao Gao.

Li Chang'an had excellent hearing and had already heard the voices of Miss Gao and her maid inside.

"Miss, Mr. Wang from the Prince Yong's mansion is here again, wearing a flower in his hair. He's so handsome!"

Miss Gao's voice followed, "Don't let his dull appearance fool you, he's got a lot of ideas, and he's quite cunning!"

The maidservant looked envious, her voice low but unable to hide her excitement, "I've heard that Mr. Wang's annual salary is two thousand four hundred taels! That's enough to buy more than twenty houses in the capital!"

"With Miss's skills, she could easily manipulate him and make him infatuated!"

"Marrying Mr. Wang means I can read the latest chapters of 'The Story of the Stone' a few days earlier—there are so many advantages!"

The shopkeeper, Miss Gao, smiled and said nothing more.

As noon approached, Wang Qinian shamelessly walked into Gao Laozhuang's room.

"Hello, Miss Gao. I'm here to buy rouge again. There are many maids in the Wang family, so we use up the rouge quickly."

"I've also brought Miss the next update of 'The Story of the Stone'..."

Miss Gao's maid brought out a plate of pastries and placed it in front of Wang Qinian. "Mr. Wang, Miss Gao made these especially for you."

Wang Qinian was overjoyed. "Thank you for your trouble, Miss. I am deeply grateful."

"Wang has wandered for half his life, never meeting a good man, but fortunately he met Miss..."

Miss Gao from Gao Village is an outer member of the Luo Wang organization; she does not know who the ultimate leader of Luo Wang is.

Only the core members knew that their ultimate master was Li Chang'an.

This Miss Gao thought she had joined a gang that traded information.

Li Chang'an glanced at this Miss Gao and knew that she would one day become the formidable Lady Wang.

Because Miss Gao actually possesses a ninth-grade talent for controlling her husband!

How cruel!
