45. King Zhou came to the door
Three months passed in a flash, and King Zhou was finally lifted, but the first thing this prince did after the ban was lifted was to go to the outskirts of the city to paint some early spring pictures, Ning Xi couldn't help laughing when he knew it, and sighed, he was really a painting idiot. Ning Xi shook his head with a smile, continued to look at the account book in his hand, and when he finished the work in his hand and looked at the sky, Ning Xi called Shu Qing in, Ming Mei had gone home to get married, and now Shu Qing took Ming Mei's place.
"Is Master Hou back?"
"I'm back, but King Zhou is also coming over."
Ning Xi frowned, what did the king do this week, it seems that she can only eat by herself today, so she asked someone to send a few more dishes to the front yard.
I didn't want to be soon, the two of them actually passed the Evergreen Hall, and when they saw Ning Xi, King Zhou smiled and said, "I'll come over to eat, my cousin won't mind." β
Ning Xi saw King Zhou again many years later, King Zhou is quite handsome, with red lips and white teeth, if he is born as a daughter, he must be a big beauty, but his appearance is not like the emperor, I think he is like his biological mother.
"My cousin laughed, my cousin is a guest, I'm too late to be happy, how can I mind."
After speaking, he let the food be served, and after the two of them were seated, he sat down next to Shu Heng.
Before he had eaten two bites, King Zhou looked at Ning Xi and said without saying anything: "Cousin, I heard that there are a few pictures of ladies painted by famous families in your dowry, I don't know if you can lend it to your brother." β
Ning Xi chuckled and put down her chopsticks, no wonder King Zhou came to her, she had taken a fancy to her paintings, those ancient paintings were the dowry given by the British public when she got married, but she was not a person who knew how to paint, and those paintings were placed in the treasury by her.
"Why does my cousin like the picture of ladies, didn't he go to Beijing a few days ago and want to draw a picture of the spring scene?" Ning Xi teased.
King Zhou scratched his head embarrassedly: "Recently, I have been trying to draw a picture of a deputy lady hanging in the study, but I have not been inspired. β
Ning Xi pursed his lips and smiled, and had a good impression of this painterly cousin: "Then I'll ask the maid to go to the warehouse to get it." β
Hearing that Ning Xi actually put those paintings in the warehouse, King Zhou glanced at Ning Xi dissatisfied, Ning Xi shrugged his shoulders indifferently, anyway, she was just a layman, and for her, those paintings were probably more valuable decorations.
"Let me go with your maid, lest your maid be careless and spoil the treasures." King Zhou said that he was about to get up.
Ning Xi looked at King Zhou with wide eyes, she was in a hurry to get the painting before she had eaten two bites of this meal, she could be regarded as seeing King Zhou's obsession with painting. Ning Xi wanted to persuade King Zhou to go again after dinner, but was stopped by Shu Heng, this big light bulb caused him to come back so late for so long, and disturbed him and Ning Xi to eat, he had long wanted to throw King Zhou out, and now he naturally wanted King Zhou to leave.
Zhou Wangzhi didn't notice the thoughts of the two, and followed Erui out of the door with joy.
Not far from the Evergreen Hall, King Zhou suddenly stopped and stared blankly at the figure standing in the Huxin Pavilion not far away.
Blue white clouds, the sun is shining, the Yiren stand in the center of the lake, the spring breeze blows, blowing a pool of lake water and the corners of the Yiren's skirt, the green silk hangs down on the Yiren's face, and the Yiren's side looks pitiful.
King Zhou's heart jumped fiercely, and he hurriedly said to the little guy next to him: "Quickly prepare paper and pens for this king." β
The little guy knew his master's temperament, and paper and pen were all necessary things, so as soon as he heard his master's instructions, he immediately took it out and handed it to King Zhou.
Erui glanced at the woman in the pavilion, only felt pretentious, where was half a sense of beauty, remembered what Ning Xi told her, and wanted to ask King Zhou if she still needed to take the lady's picture, but King Zhou didn't seem to hear it, and didn't pay attention to her at all.
King Zhou's little servant hurriedly explained: "This sister, my master's temperament is like this, as long as he is inspired and picks up the paintbrush, the surrounding qiΔ can't enter his eyes and ears." β
Erui was a little helpless, and hesitated: "How long does King Zhou have to paint?" β
The little guy shook his head, and said in a vague manner: "That's not for sure, maybe it's only a quarter of an hour, maybe it will take a day." β
Erui was speechless, glanced at Ouyang Ling, who was still standing in the pavilion and pretending to be in a posture, feeling a little pitiful in her heart, estimating that the girl still thought that the person looking at her was Shu Heng, and now she couldn't tell how beautiful it was, maybe in order to attract the attention of the people behind her, she would stand like that for a day, and it would be tiring enough to think about it.
This time Erui really guessed correctly, Ouyang Ling can't go to the Evergreen Hall now, and she can't block Shu Heng when she goes to the front yard, so she finally had to choose the only way to return to the Evergreen Hall from the front yard, regardless of the coldness of early spring, she wore a thin shirt, hung down her hair, and only had a butterfly hairpin on her head.
Erui thought about it and decided that it would be better to inform Ning Xi about this matter, so as not to have any trouble with this young lady.
When Ning Xi and Shu Heng arrived, what they saw was a gentle woman standing in the pavilion quietly looking at the spring scene, but they didn't know that there was a talented man behind her who drew her into the paper This kind of scene that only appears in the script, Ning Xi couldn't help but hold her forehead, if the heroine was not Ouyang Ling, she would probably really feel beautiful.
Shu Heng glanced at King Zhou's paintings, his eyes were full of disgust, and he seemed to be quite dissatisfied with King Zhou's aesthetics, and Ning Xi's mood soared when he saw this.
Summoned Shu Qing and commanded a few words in her ear, Shu Qing's eyes lit up and he walked to the Huxin Pavilion.
"Miss Table." Shu Qing walked up to Ouyang Ling and shouted respectfully.
Ouyang Ling knew that Shu Qingyuan was the person next to Shu Heng, and her attitude towards her was relatively friendly: "Is there something wrong?" β
Shu Qing showed a sincere smile: "Madame asked me to tell Miss SΓΉ Cousin, it is rare that King Zhou has found inspiration for painting, and I also ask Miss Cousin to keep this posture until King Zhou has not finished his painting." β
The smile on Ouyang Ling's face froze, and she turned around to take a look, only to see Ning Xi and Shu Heng standing together, Ning Xi was watching a strange man painting with a shallow smile on her face, and Shu Heng looked at Ning Xi quietly, with no expression on her face, but she knew that Shu Heng's eyes must be full of tenderness, and he was reluctant to give her even a look.
Suddenly, Ouyang Ling clenched her hands, why, why was the person who got Shu Heng's favor Ning Xi, obviously she knew Shu Heng first, obviously they were a pair of childhood sweethearts, why could Ning Xi easily snatch this qiΔ, is it because Ning Xi is the county lord! If it weren't for what happened back then, how could she get to this point, she is obviously not the daughter of a petty official, she shouldn't be an orphan girl, whether it is Shu Heng or thousands of favors, it should belong to her.
Seeing Ouyang Ling's expression becoming hideous, Shu Qing's heart suddenly shuddered, this woman's face was really terrifying, she had to give Ning Xi a wake-up call first, so as not to suffer this woman's secret loss when she got it. But he said with a smile: "Eh, Miss Cousin, didn't you say that you can't move?" If it affects King Zhou's interest, what is good, when King Zhou blames him, Hou Ye can't afford it. β
Ouyang Ling glared at Shu Qing twice, she didn't know that Shu Qing was sarcastic for Ning Xi. Then he glared fiercely at Ning Xi in the distance, and then looked at Shu Heng with affection, and then turned around and left.
"Eh, King Zhou hasn't finished painting yet, Miss Biao, why did you leave? Miss Biao is dressed so beautifully, it's a pity not to let people draw it. Shu Qing shouted regretfully behind Ouyang Ling
Ouyang Ling turned around, her eyes were full of anger, and she wanted to teach this maid a lesson, but when she thought of the master behind Shu Qing, she was a little more hesitant, she was not afraid of Ning Xi, but she was afraid of Shu Heng.
Shu Qing saw Ouyang Ling's intentions, and jumped up in front of Ouyang Ling: "Does Miss Biao want to teach the slave maid a lesson?" Miss Table, don't forget, slaves and maids are martial arts. Then he walked away with brisk steps.
Ouyang Ling bit her lip tightly, even a minion dared to bully her, Ning Xi, you are really good! She will repay all the humiliations she has suffered today in the future.
Seeing Shu Qing running back happily, and then looking at the figure of the Huzhong Pavilion who was leaving angrily, Ning Xi laughed, it seems that Shu Qing has done a good job, and he is really the person who has been by Shu Heng's side.
Seeing this, Shu Heng shook his head, but his eyes were full of spoiling, as long as Ning Xi liked it in this life, he allowed her to make trouble casually.
Only King Zhou sighed on the side, lamenting that his lady picture was not completed, and asked Shu Heng who it was, seeing that King Zhou was interested in Ouyang Ling, Shu Heng's eyes flashed a trace of thought, and he changed the topic in a few words.
After King Zhou left, Ning Xi lay on the couch and touched his belly, he was in a good mood today, so he accidentally ate more.
After Shu Heng entered the house, he smiled when he saw this: "After eating so much, hurry up and go out, otherwise you won't be able to sleep well at night." β
Ning Xi got up slowly, and didn't forget to quip: "Ouyang Ling has been standing there for so long today, I'm afraid I'm tired a lot, you don't go to comfort and comfort." β
Shu Heng knocked Ning Xi's forehead: "What does she have to do with me, I only care about you little gluttonous cat now." β
After speaking, Ning Xi walked out of the courtyard, and Ning Xi had fun behind him for a long time.
