"It's a big one."

A cheer rang out, and immediately after, a middle-aged man wearing a purple dark striped robe and a sable fur cloak walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, Qi Zhen, who was coaxing, hurriedly got up to greet him, and was about to speak, but was warned by the middle-aged man, Qi Zhen immediately smiled: "Why are you here at this time?" ”

Qi Jing saw that the person who came knew that it must be a nobleman, and he quickly stood up.

Qi Zhen welcomed the middle-aged man into the room and introduced Qi Jing: "This is Master Chu." ”

Qi Jing clenched his fists: "Master Chu." ”

Old Master Chu glanced at Qi Jing, and immediately looked away, as if he would have nailed eyes after one more look.

Qi Zhen smiled apologetically at Qi Jing, and followed behind Master Chu to introduce: "This is Qi Xie Yuan of Zhenting Mansion this year. ”

"A province must have a few points to learn." Master Chu sat down in a big way, knocked on the table, and was a little impatient: "It's a pity that there is no one with a good appearance." ”

The original smile on Qi Jing's face froze.

Qi Zhen was also a little embarrassed, but this old man Chu didn't realize it, and took a sip of tea: "Articles and poems can be learned, but appearance is natural, and if you look ugly, you will never become handsome." ”

Qi Jing already understood the identity of Master Chu at this moment, Chu is the surname of the country, and Master Chu can call a colt to treat him so respectfully, except for that one.

Based on this, Qi Jing couldn't send out any anger in his heart, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only hold back.

Qi Zhen should have known Master Chu's temperament, and he didn't dare to defend Qi Jing, so he could only glance at Qi Jing comfortingly.

At this moment, an extremely crisp and sweet voice came from inside the screen: "You are wrong. ”

"Oh?" In addition to being a face control, Master Chu is also a voice control. Hearing such a perfect voice, I couldn't help but be stupid: "What do you say? ”

The voice behind the screen came again: "Call me to say, appearance and talent are not the most important, friendship with people is the first priority, as long as the character is good, everything else is secondary, talent can be learned hard, beauty and ugliness can also be ignored." ”

The person behind the screen should have known that Master Chu was going to refute, so he smiled and continued: "The front is as beautiful as a good woman, and her talent is even more amazing, and the poems and songs are twisted by hand. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all connected. But such a person eventually brought disaster to the country and the people, killed the king and killed his father, and caused chaos in the world, because he alone did not know how many people were displaced. How many families are separated. And lo and behold. The higher the moral decay of the talent, the more likely it is to become a great evil. ”

Old Man Chu stopped talking.

But the people behind the screen didn't let him go: "At the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the first prime minister Cao Gong, looked as ugly as a ghost, but he was honest and honest. Evil as hatred, assist Emperor Taizu to quell the rebellion, peace in the world, this is the prosperity and stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty today, whether it is the words of the sage or many historical facts tell us that the first importance of friendship with people is morality, the second is learning, you can not look good, think about it, not to say that it is an adult, even a child also knows this reason, and you ...... He should also be a talented person, and he has read a lot of sage books, how can he still say such contemptuous words. ”

Sky......

Qi Zhen sweated like rain on his forehead, and even Qi Jing clenched his fists and pinched a handful of sweat.

Master Chu couldn't sit still, and stood up suddenly: "You woman doesn't know how to be polite, I just said a sentence or two, why are you so mean to me?" ”

Seeing that Master Chu was angry, Princess Changle behind the screen was also anxious: "Don't be angry, she has always been like this, she can't speak, and if you provoke her, please forgive her for the sake of her youth and ignorance." ”

While saying, Princess Changle also coaxed: "You also apologize, don't cause trouble." ”

"Alas!" The woman behind the screen sighed: "There are people in this world who can't listen to the truth. ”

"You!" Master Chu was furious and slapped the table heavily: "I don't know how to be polite, so rude......"

"You should say a few words." Hearing Princess Changle's words to dissuade the woman behind the screen, she said: "Don't be angry, she is this temper, she is young, you should treat her as a junior......"

Qi Zhen also hurriedly persuaded Master Chu: "What are you competing with a little lady." ”

Master Chu was calmer in the end, and when he sat down again, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "Hehe, I want to see what kind of little lady is so rude." ”

Qi Zhencai made a lot of effort to persuade Master Chu to stop, and the person behind the screen spoke again: "Originally, how did you really not **** things, but you looked down on my father-in-law like that, I have to argue with him as his daughter-in-law, I know that you are a nobleman, and you are extremely expensive if you think about it, but so what?" I can't let you belittle my husband like this because of your preciousness, no matter who you are or what your identity is, if I am afraid, if I dare not speak, it will be a failure to fulfill my duty. ”

"What a duty, what a smart little lady." It was when Qi Zhen and Princess Changle were anxious that they wanted to block the woman's mouth directly, and suddenly, Master Chu laughed: "Okay, okay, I was quite angry, but the sentence behind you made me look the other way, just forgive you this time." ”

"Thank you." When Qi Jing heard Master Chu's words, his heart was born like this, and he hurriedly came over to salute and thank him.

"You are so blessed." Master Chu glanced at Qi Jing and muttered: "It's about ugly people who have ugly blessings, and they actually find a little lady who doesn't dislike you and protects you like this." ”

Qi Jing didn't get angry, but smiled: "You're right, you're marrying a good lady." ”

Qi Jing smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were filled with sweet satisfaction, I don't know why, it turned out that Master Chu looked at him with a hateful face, but at this time, he felt that it was not so ugly that he couldn't look at it, but he could catch his eyes a little.

Master Chu smiled: "I want to see which little lady is so bold and smart." ”

Having said that, Master Chu didn't have to do anything, but he just joked.

Qi Zhen and Princess Changle both breathed a sigh of relief, and Qi Zhen smiled: "Mrs. Qi is my master, you also said that my paintings have improved, didn't you ask me the reason, the reason is that I made a breakthrough after reading Mrs. Qi's paintings." ”

"Oh?" Old Man Chu didn't expect it. exclaimed: "I really didn't expect that the little lady was not only unforgiving, but also a fine painting, I want to see your paintings." ”

Qi Zhen smiled and immediately asked someone to take the painting for Master Chu to see, and when the scroll was unfolded, Master Chu exclaimed: "This, this...... In terms of truth alone, the little lady can be called the first person in the past, and she is afraid that the work of painting saints is not as good, but when it comes to artistic conception, it is still worse, if you can improve it one step further. I'm afraid I can surpass the painting saint. I can leave my name in history. ”

"I also looked at Madame Qi's paintings." Princess Changle also smiled for a while: "It's like this, and it can be famous in history." ”

"Yes." Master Chu stroked his beard and nodded with a smile: "Mrs. Qi is very good at painting, dare to ask you if this painting also pays attention to the three major aspects as you said, and attaches great importance to proportional composition." ”

There was silence behind the screen for a moment. After a while, a voice came: "What you said is very true. Don't talk about it. Just the four words of proportional composition you mentioned, I also know that you must be extremely proficient in painting, and many painters in the Great Zhou Dynasty do not pay attention to these things. When painting, I do it a little casually, only talking about the artistic conception, but leaving behind the most basic things, and in the long run, I am afraid it will be difficult to progress. ”

Master Chu was even more happy when he heard it: "Mrs. Qi said to my heart, I also thought so, I still remember the legend of painting the holy shrimp, the shrimp body is a few sections, and a few horizontal lines have to be counted carefully, so that it is more expressive, and the wrinkles on the clothes of the characters are painted in great detail, but now these painters ...... Alas, more and more able to steal corners, so, I am afraid it is not a long-term way. ”

When he said this, Qi Zhen also agreed very much, and then interjected a sentence.

Master Chu said two more words, and a few questions were discussed behind the screen.

In this way, the three of them sat down and talked about painting through a screen, and the more they talked, the more they felt speculative, and they hated to see each other.

Master Chu chatted for a while, and someone outside said that there was something looking for him at home, so he reluctantly said goodbye and left.

As soon as he left, Qi Jing saw that it was not early, and he was about to say goodbye and leave, Qi Zhen left a few words, and saw that he had made up his mind to go, so he didn't stay anymore, only said that he had fun talking today, and he wanted to find time to invite Qi Jing and his wife to come over and talk.

Princess Changle was also very reluctant to Yun Yao, and asked someone to take a few good materials from the palace to give Yun Yao, and pulled Yun Yao to talk, asking Yun Yao to come to play when she had nothing to do, and said that she was always lonely at home alone, and it was rare to have someone who could speak, so Yun Yao must remember her.

Yun Yao also felt that Princess Changle was a good person, and she intended to make friends, so she agreed with a smile.

Princess Changle and Qi Zhen sent Yun Yao and Qi Jing to the second gate before returning.

Back in Princess Changle's house, Changle smiled first, and then patted his chest: "This Yun lady is really bold, dare to talk to my father like that, but it makes me worry and admire." ”

Qi Zhen also smiled: "Yun Niangzi is deeply affectionate to Qi Xie Yuan, she is so smart, I am afraid she can guess the identity of her father, but even if she knows that the Son of Heaven is in front of her, she is still fearless for her husband, which is really respectable." ”

Changle bowed his head and was speechless, and sighed after a long time: "It is also a deep relationship between husband and wife, Qi Jieyuan is also ******** good to Yun Niangzi, the two are in love, raise their eyebrows, Yun Niangzi naturally Qi Xie Yuan added more protection, not to mention that Yun Niangzi can be like this today, even if someone will be a cheap Yun Niangzi one day, Qi Jieyuan will also be able to protect him like a life." ”

Speaking of this, Princess Changle's eyes were a little red: "It's really envious." ”

Her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, but Qi Zhen was very close to her, and she heard it in her ears.

Qi Zhen looked at Princess Changle and thought that he had raised so many Kabuki and Maiko in the princess's mansion, and he was quite uncomfortable, but he was born amorous, and he couldn't treat someone wholeheartedly.

Qi Zhen had no choice but to cough dryly: "Individuals have their own way of living, and they can't be envious." ”

After saying this, he forced a laugh and said goodbye to Princess Changle.

After he left, Princess Changle sneered: "Sure enough, how could the amorous concubine change his mind?" ”

Qi Jing helped Yun Yao out of the princess's mansion, looked at her with tender eyes, and thanked her in his mouth.

Yun Yao pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "Thank you, we are husband and wife, where can I not defend you, just change, if someone says that I am not good, I am afraid that you will also protect me desperately." ”

"It's nature." Qi Jing smiled and helped Yunyao get into the car: "No matter what, I am still grateful to you in my heart." ”

Yun Yao stretched out her hand and pulled Qi Jing: "It's cold, you can also come up and warm up." ”

Seeing that the two people got into the car, the coachman drove the carriage away, and when the carriage went away, two people came out from the corner, one was Master Chu, who had just left, and the other was a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard.

Master Chu stood there fixedly, his eyes were almost straight, and he muttered to himself for a long time: "Its shape is also like a shock, graceful like a dragon." Rong Yao autumn chrysanthemum, Huamao spring pine. It seems to be like a light cloud covering the moon, and fluttering like the snow of the wind. (To be continued.) )
