Jiqiu led Aurora to inspect the art exhibition, and she carefully explained the story behind each painting to the girl.

"This painting is so beautiful, it makes me feel like I'm actually there."

Aurora looked at the oil painting of the forest in front of her. The texture of each leaf was depicted, as if she could hear the sound of nature in the next second.

"This is my favorite painting ever," Aurora murmured.

"I painted this picture in Florence, where there is a thick wood behind the estate."

Jiqiu said that she looked at the oil painting and found that Dantès was not far from her.

Jiqiu glanced at it out of the corner of her eye. Dantès was talking with the Baron Tanglar she had seen that morning.

"Let's go to another room to have a look." Jiqiu asked in a questioning tone, and she raised her hand to signal a direction.

"Ah, okay." Aurora withdrew her gaze and followed the young man's strength.

After the exhibition ended, almost every painting was reserved, and the women who came to visit the exhibition all became very interested in this young painter with a handsome face.

Before the Moran family left, Jiqiu handed a wrapped oil painting to Aurora.

"Oh my god, this is so precious!" Aurora waved her hand quickly, she knew the price of a young man's painting, "It shouldn't be in the hands of someone like me."

"But I think Miss Moran deserves this painting. It just so happens that this painting is one of the few paintings that has not found a buyer, and you are the only one who appreciates it."

Jiqiu took Aurora's hand and stuffed the oil painting "Forest" into her hand, "In my eyes, each painting is unique, regardless of any kind of high or low, they should have a suitable one. home."

Aurora bit her lip lightly, and looked at her father for help.

Moran shook his head slightly and said, "Aurora, this should be decided by you, and I have no right to interfere."

In the end, under Jiqiu's insistence, Aurora accepted the oil painting carefully. She looked at the young man seriously, "Next time I will give you a painting I made myself. I hope you don't dislike it. Be sure to accept it." Give me this thank you."

"Of course not. Every thoughtful painting should be treated with care." Jiqiu said softly.

Jiqiu watched the Moran family's carriage leave, and she sent away the last guest at the art exhibition.

"Simon?" Dantès looked at his son in a daze, and couldn't help recalling the details of his cub's relationship with that young lady just now, "Has he finally enlightened? '

"It's time for us to go home, Dad." Jiqiu turned his head and said to Dantès.

After stepping into the carriage, Jiqiu asked the guardian suspiciously, "I see you have been talking to a gentleman today, who is he?"

"It's just an insignificant person." Dantès said indifferently.

"I think he's dressed like a baron?"

Dantès clicked his tongue mockingly, "It's just an honorary knight, you just treat him as a high-ranking servant."

"Oh, by the way, didn't you say you want a good horse? I've already found it for you, two English horses, you can ride them differently."

"Wow!" Jiqiu's eyes lit up, and he arched his furry head against the man's hand, "Dad, you are so kind to me!"

"Are they in our stable now?"

"Of course, my dear son, you know that your father has always kept his promises." Dantès smiled and rubbed the young man's curly hair vigorously.

After returning home, Jiqiu ran to the stable immediately, and she saw the two tall horses, each of which was well-groomed, even more handsome than the Arabian horse used by Dantès.

She reached out and stroked the mane of the big horse, and she snorted disdainfully, "I want to conquer this fierce horse."

The groom looked at the young man's excited expression, and his temples began to twitch, "Oh, kind master Rosie, you just got home, why don't you make a decision after you recharge your energy for another day! The English horses take back."

"That's right." Jiqiu touched her forehead, and she suddenly asked curiously, "Where did Dad buy such a handsome horse? Did it come from England? This is the best horse I have ever seen in my life." .”

She thought of Elvis' strong horse Daniel, who was also a rare horse, just like these two horses.

"It was delivered this afternoon," replied the groom.

"Oh?" Jiqiu fished out five francs from his pocket and threw it to the groom, "tell me in detail."

The groom accepted the reward with a smile on his face, and quickly told what he knew, "These two horses originally belonged to Baron Danglars. The carriage he used to visit his master that day was the two horses. At a glance, he made Mr. Bertuccio get it no matter how much it cost."

"Interesting." Jiqiu gently puffed his palms twice, which greatly encouraged the groom.

"My cousin is the most capable groom in Paris. There is no carriage in the world that he cannot handle. Last month, he was hired by Baron Danglars, more precisely, Baroness Danglars!"

The groom said with a gossip look, and he looked around immediately, "He is already familiar with these two gray zebras, and the baroness regards these two fine horses as her face, and many ladies will ask her to borrow these two when they go out. a horse."

"Is it really so popular?" Jiqiu looked at the gray zebra on the left, she could see a hint of arrogance from the horse's face, "It seems to know that it is handsome..."

"Of course, as far as I know, there is a lady who borrowed these two horses from Baron Danglars before the owner bought them." The groom said.

"You mean to say that Baron Tanglar sold the two gray zebras without informing his wife?"

Jiqiu rubbed his chin and said, "What is Dantès' intention in buying these two horses?" '

"By the way, I remember that there are two Akhal Teke horses bought from Turkmenistan in the stable. Where are they?"

Jiqiu inspected the stables with his eyes, and found that two hard-earned horses were missing.

"Ten minutes before you came home, the master ordered someone to bring it to the market and prepare to sell it," said the groom.

Jiqiu straightened his mind, probably those two horses would end up in the hands of the baroness, "I see."

The next day, Dantès went out early in the morning.

Jiqiu was enjoying fried eggs and toast alone, "Forrest, where is my dad?"

"Mister said he was going hunting." The British bodyguard replied sternly.

"Then why did he take Ali away?" Jiqiu looked suspiciously at the only British person, and Ali, who was like a hill, disappeared.

"He didn't tell me. He just asked me to tell him that he wants to borrow your slave."

"Oh, I see." Jiqiu stuffed the last bite of bread into his mouth.

In the afternoon, Dantès rode home on an Arabian horse, and behind him Ali rode an Akhal Tekin and led a similar horse.

Ji Qiuxiang went back to normal, and when Dantès entered, he gave him a big hug, "Welcome home."

"Here, I brought back your slave in its entirety." Dantès hugged the young man back, and untied the coat covered with leaves, "I still have work to do, can I stay with you tonight?"

"Yeah." Jiqiu nodded her head lightly, and ran to call Jacob over.

When she left Dantès' office, she glanced at the dull black slave, "Come with me."

Ali followed with his head down, like a moving rock.

"What did Dad ask you to do?" Jiqiu came to the studio and asked Forrest to stand guard outside the door. "From the moment he came to you, tell me a complete story."

Ali nodded his head, "I prepared food for the young master's cat this morning as usual, but the master stopped me and asked me if I would harness the horse."

"I replied that I am very good at rough horses, not to mention harnessing horses, so he told me to obey his orders and prepare to harness the two Akhal-Tekes sold yesterday on the path in the woods."

"I don't know what happened, but I still followed the master's instructions. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the carriage he mentioned appeared on the path. The two horses had gone mad and were rampaging on the path. The carriage There was a young woman and a boy inside, already trembling with fright."

"Based on my past experience, I accurately locked the two horses and stopped the carriage."

"Do you know who the mother and child you rescued?" Jiqiu sat on the sofa, tapping the armrest of the sofa with his fingers.

"The woman's name is Heloise Villefort, and the boy is her son Édouard Villefort," replied Ali.

"So that's how it is." Jiqiu sighed softly, and she raised her hand, "Continue talking."

"The boy was frightened unconscious, and the master took out a bottle of potion from his pocket, and put two drops in his mouth, and he regained consciousness." Ali continued, "Mrs. Villefort told their story. Unfortunately, she originally borrowed two gray zebras from Baroness Danglars.

But the baroness said that the two horses were sold by her husband. In order not to break her promise, the baroness spent a lot of money to buy two Akhal Teke horses and let her drive them. "

"That's right, did Madame de Villefort say that she came to thank you?" Jiqiu asked.

"Yes, at this time next week, M. de Villefort will come to visit with him."

Jiqiu nodded, she noticed that Ali was not in high spirits, "You don't look very happy, are you hurt?"

"No, sir."

Jiqiu propped up his chin, and changed into a comfortable position, "You saved the lives of the mother and child, why can't I see a trace of joy on your face?"

Ali blinked his peasy eyes, and his tone revealed grievance, "Master, am I really ugly?"

"Huh?" Jiqiu's brain froze for a moment, and she quickly realized that Ali looked a bit like a famous basketball star in later generations. She scratched her head, "You are normal." Black looks, although not handsome, but not ugly."

"That child said I was ugly." Ali cried out aggrieved.

"Uh." Jiqiu took out a handkerchief and handed it to him, she didn't expect that there would be three Alis as old as her crying, "Okay, next time he comes, I will teach him a little lesson. "

'The genes carried by Villefort are really inferior, and the children they give birth to are crooked. '

She tried to pat Ali on the shoulder reassuringly, but found that she could only reach Ali's arm.

In the end, Jiqiu asked Grossi to hug Xiaojuzi, and Ali stopped crying.
