Chapter 149 When did you become so useless?
Seeing the person in the portrait, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but curl his lips and a smile appeared on his face.
There is no doubt that the person in this portrait is the Ghost Doctor Liancheng.
She had dealt with Liancheng many times in her previous life, so she was particularly familiar with him, but Liancheng was older at that time.
He was a bohemian and unruly man. Years of frustration had left him with more wrinkles on his face and a rough skin. But even so, his tattered clothes could not hide his originally good-looking appearance.
However, although he was good-looking, he didn't look like a man in his forties at all at that time. He looked more like a hunchbacked old man.
Jinzhu couldn't help but ask, "What does Miss want this portrait for? Is this man's medical skills really that great?"
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "Of course it is very powerful."
Liancheng studied under the Lianshan family. He was an orphan when he was young. Due to his special physique, he was poisoned and taken to the mountains by the Lianshan family to live in seclusion.
Fortunately, he was lucky and had outstanding talent, so he caught the eye of the head of the Lianshan family. From then on, he inherited the medical and poison skills of the Lianshan family, and surpassed his master at a young age.
Later, the Lianshan family was wiped out for some reason, and Liancheng happened to be traveling and escaped the disaster.
Since then, the Lianshan family's superb medical and poison skills have been lost, leaving only Liancheng as the only one left.
Many of the medical skills Shen Shuyi knew were learned from Liancheng in her previous life. At that time, Liancheng refused to help Xiao Tingshan, so she could only learn by herself. As she learned more and spent more time, she turned a blind eye to Liancheng's difficulties.
Occasionally, when he was in a good mood, he would give her some advice.
After all, although her medical skills are not amazing, they are still acceptable.
"Grind the ink." Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice, his almond-shaped eyes shining with a strange light.
If Liancheng is found, my brother hopes to recover, and he will have the opportunity to stand up again and pick up his pen again.
When Shen Shuyi thought of this, his heart was filled with emotion.
Soon, Shen Shuyi rearranged the paper, carefully looked at Liancheng's portrait, and slowly started writing with his pen.
For an entire hour, Shen Shuyi maintained almost the same posture, focused and serious.
Jinzhu and Yuping stood by and no one dared to disturb them.
The room was quiet until Shen Shuyi felt a little sore in her wrist. After finishing a painting, she slowly stopped.
Jinzhu and Yuping leaned over and looked at the portrait and couldn't help but say, "This is..."
Shen Shuyi's eyes were deep, and he said slowly: "This is Liancheng ten years ago."
"Miss, how do you know that Mr. Liancheng looked like this ten years ago?" Jinzhu couldn't help asking.
Shen Shuyi was silent, she didn't know how to explain.
She has been gifted in painting since childhood. If she sees a person's current appearance, she can guess what he looked like when he was young and what he will look like when he is old based on his living habits and eating habits.
Regardless of the time period that was too far away, she could roughly guess it based on the outline of the human skeleton and living habits.
Liancheng ten years later was not difficult for her. After all, she had seen Liancheng's appearance several years later in her previous life, so there was always a suspicion of cheating.
"Miss, what will I look like in ten years?" Yuping asked in a gentle voice, with some curiosity.
Shen Shuyi's eyes were gentle, and he looked at her and said, "You will be more relaxed and plump than now. You will be a gentle and soft beauty, calm and unhurried. You are better than many young ladies from official families."
Unfortunately, she didn’t get to see Yuping’s future in her previous life.
Hearing this, Yu Ping's cheeks immediately turned red, with a bit of shyness. When Jin Zhu heard this, she couldn't help but asked quickly: "What about me, Miss?"
Shen Shuyi looked at Jinzhu with a smile and said, "You will be more beautiful, sharp-tongued, and clever."
Upon hearing this, Jin Zhu smiled and bowed to Shen Shuyi: "Then I'll take your good words, Miss~!"
Seeing the two of them laughing so hard that they couldn't stop, Shen Shuyi inexplicably felt like a demigod who set up a stall on the street to tell fortunes, but she was definitely not lying to them.
Jinzhu and Yuping are of two different types. Jinzhu's facial features are three-dimensional and bright, her face is as small as a palm, her brows are raised, and she has a sense of arrogance and sharpness.
Yuping is more gentle and soft, like a pink dough ball, graceful and calm, beautiful but not aggressive, but with her own plans in mind.
In this life, she will definitely protect them well.
Shen Shuyi's eyes were gentle, but his heart was extremely firm.
After taking a rest for a cup of tea, Shen Shuyi picked up his brush again and began to paint Liancheng ten years later.
Because I had seen his later behavior in my previous life, I painted faster than before.
"Miss, you're amazing. Although the people are obviously different, you can tell that both paintings are of Mr. Liancheng." Jinzhu couldn't help but admire as she hung the paintings to dry.
After being tired for half a day, Shen Shuyi collapsed on the couch and said softly, "Be careful, we will go to visit Mr. Liancheng tomorrow."
"Yes."
"Let Manao go to Guo's Wine Shop in the east of the city to see if he can buy some of their daughter's red wine and bamboo leaf green wine."
"Yes."
After giving the instructions, Shen Shuyi lowered his eyes and began to think.
The crickets in the incense box on the table nearby were still eating leaves tirelessly, jumping from time to time and making some noises.
Liancheng likes to drink Guo’s Bamboo Leaf Green the most. The Guo family is indeed famous for their wine. The price is not expensive, but the taste is excellent.
However, the quantity sold each day is limited. Each person can only buy two pots at a time. No more will be sold.
Liancheng stayed near the capital for many years, firstly because he had found the whereabouts of his daughter Lianqiao in the capital, and secondly because of this good wine.
Liancheng’s favorite drink is actually Bamboo Leaf Green, but ever since he lost Lian Qiao, he has to drink a pot of Nv’erhong from time to time.
Although he is always drinking, he rarely gets drunk.

The next day, early in the morning.
After breakfast, Shen Shuyi deliberately changed into an orange-pink skirt, which made her look better.
Yuping helped her comb her hair into a double bun and accessorized it with two gold hairpins, just the right amount, not too much or too little, making her look less cold and a little softer than usual.
After finding a reason to inform Qin Xuerong, Shen Shuyi left early.
At this moment, because of the Chai family affairs, Qin Xuerong's mood improved a little.
Nanny Wang made tea for her while she said, "Since the second young lady came back home, she has been running out of the mansion every few days. I don't know what she is busy with."
Qin Xuerong said in a deep voice: "You should have someone keep an eye on it. The most important thing is to send someone to Yunshuyuan to inquire about the news."
Nanny Wang quickly responded, "Yes, in fact, there are two of our people in the Second Miss's courtyard, but the Second Miss's personal maids are the maids she grew up with, and our people can't find out any information at all."
Qin Xuerong looked at Nanny Wang coldly and said quietly, "When did you become so useless?"
Facing Qin Xuerong's cold gaze, Nanny Wang quickly knelt down and said, "I admit my guilt. I will definitely go and find out more!"
Qin Xuerong slammed her palm on the table and said in a cold voice: "Since Shen Shuyi returned home, so many things have happened, but what are you doing? You didn't even hear a word!"
