The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 261 Guangyun Tower Owner Mei Qi Niang

Shen Yanxi did not answer immediately, but asked Jiang Suining, "Are you afraid of heights?"

After Jiang Suining shook her head, he put his arm around Jiang Suining and flew to the roof with her.

Jiang Suining subconsciously grabbed Shen Yanxi's arm, and this action made the curve of the latter's lips more obvious.

After standing firmly, Shen Yanxi took Jiang Suining's hand and took her to sit on the roof.

"You can open it now." Shen Yanxi held the thing in his hand in front of Jiang Suining.

Jiang Suining lifted the black cloth covering it and found that it was a thin wooden box with a handle. There were some tiny holes on the box, which seemed to be for ventilation. A light green light shone through them.

After taking a look at Shen Yanxi, Jiang Suining reached out and opened the lid of the box.

In an instant, countless fireflies flew out and surrounded it.

The light green light emitted by the fireflies and the moonlight echo each other, weaving a dreamy light and shadow.

After a brief moment of surprise, Jiang Suining couldn't help but smile as he looked at the fireflies flying around in front of him.

On Mid-Autumn Night in Beiyang Kingdom, there is actually a custom of releasing fireflies to pray.

It was once said that if you release fireflies under the moonlight of the Mid-Autumn Festival and make a wish to them, the scattered fireflies will carry your wishes to every corner, making it easier for the gods to know.

However, there were very few fireflies in and around the imperial city, and it was not easy to catch them, so gradually, this custom was abandoned by everyone.

Jiang Suining didn't know where Shen Yanxi got so many fireflies from. In fact, she never believed in the idea of ​​making wishes with fireflies. But at this moment, looking at the fireflies around her, she spoke to Shen Yanxi sincerely.

"I like it very much, Shen Yanxi, thank you."

Shen Yanxi's gaze remained on Jiang Suining's face, and when he heard this thank you, his heart felt like honey melting.

He carefully took out two wrapped mooncakes from his arms and handed one to Jiang Suining.

"Ningning, I want to watch the moon with you."

Jiang Suining's heart moved as he listened to the increasingly intimate address. He reached out to take the mooncake he had made and took a light bite.

"Okay, let's enjoy the moon together."

Fireflies were scattered everywhere and the moonlight was just right. The two sat side by side on the roof, eating moon cakes and admiring the full moon.

In the distant sky, fireworks exploded again, and with a bright full moon in the sky, everything seemed to be infinitely close to perfection.

The next day.

Jiang Suining arrived at Guangyun Tower by carriage at the agreed time.

After revealing her identity, someone immediately invited her in.

Guangyun Building has three floors in total.

The first and second floors are used to entertain guests, and the third floor is for collecting calligraphy and paintings, which are personally owned by the owner. Normally, guests are not allowed to enter easily.

Jiang Suining followed the shopkeeper all the way up to the third floor. As soon as he entered, he saw various calligraphy and paintings hanging on the four walls.

"Please wait a moment, Miss Jiang. The owner will be here soon. You can choose for yourself first to see if there is a painting you like." The shopkeeper bowed and said.

After Jiang Suining nodded in agreement, he walked down to the third floor, leaving Jiang Suining standing here alone.

Jiang Suining first looked around, then walked towards the painting closest to her and slowly admired it.

I have to say that the collection upstairs is indeed good. Although not every painting is from a famous artist, the few paintings Jiang Suining has seen are all top-notch works with sophisticated brushwork and both form and charm.

However, the next moment, Jiang Suining discovered Jing Tang's "Fisherman's Hidden Picture" among these paintings.

According to what Jingyue said before, this painting should have been picked up and resold by someone. It reappeared in Guangyun Tower. Could it be that the person who bought the painting before...

"I asked someone to buy this sentence back." A voice sounded behind me.

Jiang Suining turned his head and finally saw the mysterious owner of Guangyun Tower.

The other person was wearing a bright red dress and had a beautiful face. Although there was a one-inch scar at the left corner of her eye, it did not affect her beauty.

"Are you the owner of Guangyun Tower?"

Before, I only knew that the owner of Guangyun Tower was mysterious and never showed up easily, but I had never heard that she was a woman.

"Yes, my last name is Mei, Miss Jiang, you can call me Qi Niang."

Mei Qinnan curled her red lips and looked Jiang Suining up and down.

"I've heard that Miss Jiang is doing very well in business and is well-known in the Imperial City, but I've never had the chance to meet her. Today I finally get to meet her."

"Mutual." Jiang Suining said with a smile, and looked at Mei Qinnan carefully without making any expression.

The other person looked to be in her early twenties, with a slender figure and good looks, but her eyes were like an ancient well, reflecting the stars in the summer night, with ripples and a flickering light.

Mei Qinnan smiled leisurely, her eyes passed through Jiang Suining and looked at the "Fisherman's Hidden Picture" beside her.

"Although I bought this painting back at a high price, if Miss Jiang likes it, you can still take it."

"No need." Jiang Suining shook his head and said straight to the point, "In fact, rather than taking a painting from here, I would like to ask you a question, Qi Niang."

"what is the problem?"

"Why hold such a high-altitude competition?"

Mei Qiniang raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Jiang Suining and smiled, "I think many people have the same question as Miss Jiang, but you are the first one to come to me and ask."

"Maybe it's because no one else has the chance to see you."

She thought about it carefully and decided that although the competition at Guangyun Tower was famous, it was not really cost-effective.

There must be other reasons why this event continues year after year.

In her previous life, although she had heard of Guangyun Tower and this competition, she had never seen it with her own eyes. She only knew that the competition continued until her death.

She was very curious about what Mei Qinniang's purpose was in doing this.

The smile on Mei Qinniang's face faded a little, and her eyes shifted to the paintings around her.

"The reason... is that I'm rich enough, but I don't have much fun on weekdays, so I'm going to have a competition just to have some fun."

"Then why is it only during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and once a year? This time interval doesn't seem to be a good way to have fun." Jiang Suining didn't believe what Mei Qinnan said.

The latter raised an eyebrow, "There are other fun things in it on weekdays."

Jiang Suining looked at her, and after a moment shook his head, "Since Qi Niang doesn't want to say it, forget it. Just pretend I didn't ask. I'm sorry."

"Miss Jiang, your curiosity comes strongly but fades away quickly, but...are you planning to investigate secretly?" Mei Qinnan looked at Jiang Suining with interest.

The latter smiled and asked, "Whether this investigation is carried out or not, can Qi Niang believe it just based on my words?"

They looked at each other, and neither Mei Qinniang nor Jiang Suining spoke.

After a long while, Mei Qinniang suddenly laughed.

"If Miss Jiang really wants to know, it's not impossible, but you have to discuss business with me first."
