Chapter 9: Unbelief
"Can you paint?" Chi Can stared at Qiao Zhao, his eyes were narrow and slightly curled, even if the slightest hint of mockery flowed from them, it was difficult to hide the brilliance of his face, "And then, do you have to paint one for me and let me go back to the business?"
Yang Houcheng stood behind Qiao Zhao and coughed lightly, reminding the little girl not to talk nonsense. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It really annoyed that fellow, he didn't care about men, women, old and young, and drove off the boat anyway, and the little girl would not be pitiful when the time came.
Zhu Yan reminded gently: "Anyone who has learned to paint can draw ducks, but this 'will' and 'will' are different-"
Qiao Zhao bent his lips: "Brother Zhu, I understand." ”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Chi Can again, her tone was calm but full of sincerity: "I will draw a picture of a duck play for Brother Chi, and I should thank Brother Chi for his help." ”
Chi Can was already upset, and Qiao Zhao's sincerity fell into his eyes, and he became arrogant who didn't know the height of the sky.
He stared at her tightly, not angry but smiling, but his tone was cold: "Okay, you can paint." ”
He paused, and then said, "If I can't pay the errand, you will disembark for me when the ship docks halfway!"
"Shixi-" Zhu Yan patted him gently, "Isn't this a little ......?"
Unreasonable?
Zhu Yan didn't say these four words in the end.
The three of them have been playing since they were children, and of course he understands his friend's temper.
The matter between the eldest princess and the concubine made Chi Can's temperament change a lot, but it was not so extreme at that time. As Ji Can gets older and his demeanor becomes more and more outstanding, there are more and more troubles.
He still clearly remembers that once Chi Can kindly saved a girl who was molested by a bully, and the girl wanted to go back to the house with Chi Can, but Chi Can refused, but he didn't expect that the girl hanged herself on the tree outside the door of the eldest princess's mansion the next day, and left a message that she was Chi Can's person and died as Chi Can's ghost.
Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, this matter instantly spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and later who remembered Chi Can saving people, they were all talking about whether he hooked someone else's girl, but he didn't admit it, so he caused the girl to find death.
Chi Can was only thirteen years old that year, and his words were terrifying, like a mountain that made the young man breathless, and his mother, Princess Changrong, picked up the whip and rewarded her son with a whip mark.
Since then, Ji Can's temperament has become more and more obedient.
To be honest, he was surprised that Li San asked his friend for help that day and was not refused.
Zhu Yan sighed lightly.
That's it, if Miss Li is really driven off the boat, it's a big deal that he will take care of it secretly, and he can't let the little girl really can't go home.
"Don't mix it up, she brought it on herself. Chi Can said coldly.
Women are like that, from three to eighty years old, greedy, vain, arrogant, without self-knowledge......
More than a dozen adjectives instantly crossed in Chi Can's heart, and he was extremely skillful.
Qiao Zhao blinked.
This person was not quite the same as she remembered.
At that time, he was obviously just thick-skinned, and he couldn't see that he was so mean and stingy.
"It turns out that Brother Chi doesn't want to repay his kindness. Qiao Zhao said.
Ji Can squinted, a little puzzled for a moment what she meant.
Zhu Yan was a bystander, and after a little thought, he understood it, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Yang Houcheng pulled Zhu Yan for a moment and asked in a low voice, "What kind of dumb riddle are you playing?"
Zhu Yan shook his head and said nothing.
Chi Can glanced at the two of them, and then at Qiao Zhao, who had a calm expression, and suddenly understood.
The little girl said that he had promised to take her back to Beijing, but she was at risk of being thrown off the ship out of repaying the favor by painting for him, so it can be seen that he did not ask her to repay.
So, this is actually a satire of his meanness, right?
Chi Can couldn't help glaring at the little girl fiercely.
Is this girl thirteen years old? Now she has such a twisted belly, and she has to ponder for a long time to say a word, and she will pay it back later!
Qiao Zhao was quite wronged, and looked at Chi Can with a pair of black and white eyes.
She's just telling the truth, why is she winning again?
Chi Can looked away and sneered: "It's too late to regret it now, I'm waiting for you to paint." ”
Qiao Zhao especially couldn't hear the word "master" now, so he suppressed the displeasure in his heart and said, "My grandfather has passed away a long time ago." ”
Chi Can was stunned, then furious, and stretched out his hand to point at Qiao Zhao: "You-"
"You" for a long time, seeing that her eyes were red, she couldn't hold back a word.
Zhu Yan and Yang Houcheng heard that Qiao Zhao intended to bury Chi Can, but they buried it skillfully, which made people unable to get angry, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Ji Chan became even more angry when he heard this.
Qiao Zhao's face has never been thin, but with a green face at the moment, it doesn't matter, and he asked calmly: "Is there anything like pen and ink paint on the ship?"
"Yes, I'll take you there. Zhu Yan was afraid that the atmosphere was too stiff, so he took the initiative to lead Qiao Zhao into the cabin room.
This passenger ship could have carried more than a dozen passengers, and the three of them had a lot of money, so they rented it and vacated a guest room for a study.
Qiao Zhao followed Zhu Yan into and glanced around, although the layout of the house was simple, there were a lot of bookcases, low couches and other things.
"You can use these pen, ink, paper, and inkstones as you like. Zhu Yan said as he led her inside, "It's just that these books don't flip around, otherwise they will make Shixi angry." ”
"Thank you, Brother Zhu, I know. Qiao Zhao thanked him for his blessings.
"Then I'll go out first. ”
The painter generally does not like to be disturbed by others, and besides, after all, there are differences between men and women, so it is not appropriate to be alone in a room.
Qiao Zhao bowed slightly: "Brother Zhu, please take care of yourself." ”
Seeing that the girl was already sitting in front of the bookcase, spreading out the rice paper, and gently lifting her hands to start grinding, Zhu Yan paused, and said softly: "Don't worry, Shixi has a hard mouth and a soft heart." ”
Qiao Zhao raised his head and looked at Zhu Yan, a little stunned, and then pulled the corners of his lips: "Thank you, Brother Zhu, I'm not worried." ”
Chi Can's hard mouth and soft heart are fake, but it is true that this Brother Zhu is very soft-hearted.
She has nothing to worry about, and when she repays the favors she owes to others, she shouldn't have any intersection with these three people in the future.
The girl's tone was too calm, her expression was too calm, Zhu Yan was a little embarrassed for a while, nodded at her, and went out with her feet raised.
Hearing the footsteps, Chi Can turned his head and said with a smile: "Why did you come out?"
Zhu Yan walked up to him, raised his hand and gently slapped him: "What are these words?"
Chi Can lowered his eyes and smiled, looking at the river.
The spring is beautiful, and the weeping willows on both sides of the river reflect the graceful posture on the water, just like the girl who dresses in the mirror shows her softness and grace, but the ripples brought by the boat destroy the quiet beauty.
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm afraid you'll get into trouble for no reason. The man with a face more beautiful than spring said slowly.
Zhu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled dumbly: "Shixi, you think too much." ”
The little girl who was straighter than the poplar passed through his mind, and the smile deepened.
That girl, I'm afraid I wish the two sides didn't owe each other.
The boat moved slowly, slanting westward.
Yang Houcheng looked at the cabin frequently.
"The little girl has been in there for most of the day, and she hasn't even come out for lunch. Shouldn't you be unable to draw, and you're afraid of being driven off the boat by Shixi, so you don't dare to come out?"
Ji Can and Zhu Yan glanced at each other.
It seems quite possible!
"I'll take a look. Zhu Yan said softly.
Ji Can stopped him and sneered, "I'll go." Let's see how long she's going to hide!"
The sound of subtle footsteps came, and when the three of them heard the sound, they saw Qiao Zhao coming over.
Chi Can's eyes moved down, and when he saw that her hands were empty, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "What about the painting?
