Xie Jinci carefully and prudently took out the bamboo rice paper in his sleeve, raised his hands high, and smiled sweetly: "Master Fu, please take a look!" ”

Fu Tinghan took the drawing, glanced at Shen Changfeng weakly, and opened it with shaking hands.

The handsome young man swept his eyes casually, and his peach blossom eyes widened.

As if he was too surprised, he choked on the cigarette in his mouth, coughed many times, and coughed out tears.

Xie Jinci went from being full of joy to worry, the look on his face changed and changed, and he said after consideration: "Is it ...... Am I not good at drawing? ”

Fu Tinghan clutched his throat and waved his hand repeatedly.

The little girl lowered her eyelashes in frustration, "What Fu Gongzi wants to say directly, I can stand it......"

"Neither nor not!"

Fu Tinghan's eyes were full of admiration, and he talked eloquently, "The style of the step shake is simple but beautiful, and it is made of gold-plated sterling silver, and the cost is not too high, even if it is an ordinary girl, it can afford it!" ”

Xie Jinci listened, the corners of his lips curled and curved, and the clear deer eyes suddenly burst into bright brilliance.

"Really? What Fu Gongzi means is that you can accept my drawing? ”

"Nature is ......"

Without waiting for Fu Tinghan to finish speaking, Shen Changfeng, who was sitting on the side watching the play, suddenly coughed lightly twice, causing Xie Jinci to glare at him inexplicably.

Fu Tinghan pinched his eyebrows, and his words turned very naturally, "Collect, naturally it is collected, but the price is ......"

"It's okay! After all, this is my first time painting, and I am already very satisfied to be recognized by Fu Gongzi! ”

Xie Jinci looked at him happily, his blackened fawn eyes were shining, "Fu Gongzi just give a fair price, anyway, we will have a long future!" ”

"Ahem, it's a long ...... to come."

With such a pair of clean and harmless eyes, Fu Tinghan always had a sense of guilt for doing something bad.

He secretly went to look at Shen Changfeng, and when he saw the other party staring at him with a smile, he sighed in his heart, trembling and raising three fingers.

Xie Jinci smiled brightly, "Three taels of silver?!" ”

She was so immersed in the joy of the recognition of the drawings that she ignored Fu Tinghan's subtle change in expression.

The young man in Tsing Yi who was sitting quietly on the side, his slender fingers tapped his knees three times very casually, and the warning in the peach blossom eyes was self-evident.

Fu Tinghan swallowed the "thirty taels of silver" that had reached his mouth with difficulty, covered his face and said sullenly: "Three coins of silver, no more ......"

Xie Jinci was stunned for a moment, and soon burst into a smile again, "Thank you Master Fu!" I will continue to work hard! ”

Last time, the little brother's drawings earned a hundred taels of silver, but her drawings were only worth three dollars, and the gap was so big, I felt a little sad in my heart.

But three coins of silver are also money, and it is better than nothing.

Now that there is a way to make money, as long as she practices more in the future, she can always draw a valuable drawing!

Carefully put away the three copper plates handed over by Fu Tinghan, the little girl's eyes were clear, and there was a determined light shining inside.

Shen Changfeng stood up at the right time, smoothed the wrinkles on his robe, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Xiao Ci'er for making a lot of money in his first business!" ”

Xie Jinci was in a good mood, too lazy to care about the ridicule in his words, snorted with his little face up, and walked out briskly.

Shen Changfeng followed slowly and methodically, but Fu Tinghan pulled his sleeves.

"Changfeng, this is also a serious business, isn't it good for us to talk like this?"

"It's not good."

Shen Changfeng smiled, "If she saves money from you, you don't have to open this Yunxuan anymore." ”

……

In the dead of night, the handsome young man leaned on the bed of the elm dragon pattern Arhat, smoking in a trance.

If Shen Changfeng really stopped providing him with drawings, Ying Yunxuan's business would face a miserable situation, and it would be a matter of time before he closed his doors.

Can...... Ah Jin's craftsmanship is also good!

Although the penmanship is immature, it has the possibility of infinite improvement, if it is all drawn by Ah Jin in the future, do you have to worry that Ying Yunxuan will not make money?

However, Shen Changfeng's side ......

That's it.

You can't have both, and you can't have both, and you can give up the fish and take the bear's paw.

A winter rain ushered in the 60th birthday of Mrs. Shen Fujiang.

On this day, the Shen Mansion Mansion is full of lights, the courtyard is like a city, and the people who come to congratulate the birthday are all people with heads and faces in Lin'an City.

The head of the house, Shen Teng, took his two sons-in-law to welcome the guests at the main entrance, and Shen Yi, the master of the second room, was busy leading the guests into the front hall to take their seats.

Shen Heng, the old man of the third room, died early, leaving only a daughter named Lingxi, who was raised by the old lady since she was a child.

The banquet of the big family is often a good time for the children to emerge and expand their communication, but the concubines and concubines can only wait in a corner of the hall, and they are not even qualified to meet guests.

Shen Changfeng was happy and relaxed, and slept until three o'clock in the sun, so that Xie Jinci hugged the longevity flower and walked to the front yard like a walk.

"Little brother, is it really okay if we go so late?"

A little girl of seven or eight years old, wearing a light pink jacket, with a scarlet hairband tied on her bud head, and her blackened fawn eyes are delicate and dusty, like a doll in a New Year's painting, cute and pleasing.

Shen Changfeng pinched her face, and the curvature of her red lips was shallow, "What is my sister panicking about?" Even if something happens, I'm the one who will be punished, and it's not my sister's turn. ”

He talked about the punishment in a joking tone, and Xie Jinci couldn't help but think of the whip marks that crisscrossed his back when he cleaned his wounds last time.

Her heart trembled, the little girl frowned, and said angrily: "Does the little brother like to be punished so much?" Hmph, next time, I won't buy you black chicken soup......"

"I don't need black chicken soup, I think that big fat goose is good, he was raised by his sister's monthly money to be fat and strong, and it is best to use it as a stewed soup."

"Don't make a big white idea! Little brother, what are you, what are you doing? ”

As she walked, there was a sudden lightness in her arms, and Xie Jinci watched in surprise as the young man took the heavy flower pot in her hand and subconsciously looked around.

It's strange, there's not even a personal shadow, who is this for the little brother?

The boy raised his eyebrows, "What kind of expression is this, little word?" I'm just distressed to see that you're struggling to hold it. ”

Xie Jinci believes that he is a ghost!

A touch of cunning flashed in her clear eyes, and she looked up at her little face and smiled sweetly: "If the little brother really feels sorry for me, he should tell me, what happened on the day Sister Xihan sent the tonic to Aunt Qin?" ”

"Tsk, my sister is really endless, pestering me to ask no less than five times, don't you give up?"

Shen Changfeng smiled with peach blossom eyes, and approached the little girl's ear:

"The truth is as you guessed, the eldest lady deliberately poisoned Aunt Qin, but she was unlucky to be caught by her father. Those open and secret fights in the backyard, don't happen today, don't happen tomorrow, maybe it will happen one day, women are naturally jealous, and they will do whatever it takes to compete for men's favor, isn't this all commonplace? ”

Xie Jinci listened with a serious face, and nodded with a sense of understanding, "In this way, it seems that there is some truth ......"

The young man laughed a few times and quietly quickened his pace.

After a long while, Xie Jinci realized that his thoughts had been deviated.

That incident obviously has something to do with the little brother! How could he dissociate himself from the relationship so for granted?!

"Little brother!"

The little girl was busy pulling the sleeves of the young man's clothes, looking up at her palm-sized face, and her round eyes full of curiosity were dark and moist.

The young man took her little hand and smiled warmly:

"Shhh, sister, let's say a few words, the corner in front of me is the ceremonial room, there are many people, and I am not afraid of falling into the mouth?"

The little girl pouted unwillingly.

I've been fooled by this guy again!

The ceremonial room is located in a wing room in the side hall.

The fan is wide open, there is a rosewood long case at the main entrance, the steward has picked a few literate clever little guys to station here, and the most etiquette is responsible for registering the gifts sent by the guests, and the rest are helping to carry and place the gifts.

Xie Jinci followed behind Shen Changfeng step by step, stepping through a moon cave door, and the ceremonial room was close to him.

The young man's footsteps paused slightly, suddenly lowered his head, and said softly: "Ask my sister to do me a favor, and I will see the opportunity to act later, and find a way to divert the attention of the little girl." ”

The people in front were noisy, all of them were stewards who had come to give gifts on behalf of the lord's family, and the joyful congratulatory messages could be heard everywhere.

Xie Jinci was concentrating on walking, occasionally peeking into a few auspicious words, and when he heard such a sentence, he didn't react for a while.

When he came back to his senses, the young man had already walked to the door of the gift room with the flower pot.

The little guy in the booklet glanced at him, "Yo, the fourth son is here." ”

Shen Changfeng smiled warmly, "May you be like a crane, and the wonderful pen will be more quintessence." The clouds and mountains are blocked, and the respect is a thousand years old. This is the longevity flower I planted for my grandmother, and I wish my grandmother a long life than Taishan pine. ”

The little guy said while registering: "I heard early in the morning that the fourth prince has done a good job in learning, no, even the birthday greetings are more literate than others." ”

His yin and yang strange tone caused the other little guys to look disdainful, staring disdainfully at the bright crimson longevity flower in the young man's hand, not caring at all about the many outsiders who came and went here.

Concubines can be bullied.

Xie Jinci was not angry in his heart, thinking of the little brother's entrustment just now, he suddenly had a plan.

She lowered her head and stepped up the stone steps, pretending to stumble to the side, and fell to the side with a groan.

Sure enough, everyone's attention shifted to her.

"Bah, why don't you get up quickly? Today is the old lady's birthday, how unlucky you fell at the door of the ceremonial room! ”

A little guy took a sip, and his face was very ugly.

Xie Jinci wrinkled his little face and said pitifully: "It hurts...... Can't stand up......"

Shen Changfeng glanced at the little girl with teary eyes covering her ankles, and the corners of her lips hooked invisibly, "I'm really sorry, I blame this servant girl for being too careless, and she can even fall down while walking." Please allow me to put the longevity flowers into the ceremonial room first, and then come out and carry her back. ”

The little guys had no intention of helping him move the flower pots, but when they heard that he was going to take the initiative to move them, they couldn't ask for it, so they waved their hands and urged him to get in and out quickly.

So Shen Changfeng entered the ceremonial room in a bright light, and Xie Jinci stayed on the stone steps outside the house to wait for him.

After a short time, the young man came out empty-handed, picked up the little girl on the ground, and left slowly.

The side hall is still full of people, very lively, the little guys are so busy that their feet don't touch the ground, and no one cares about them at all.

……

"Little brother, are we going back? You don't go to the front yard for a drink? ”

Walking to a place where there was no one, Xie Jinci no longer limped, returned to his normal walking posture, tilted his head and asked questions.

Shen Changfeng didn't answer the question: "Xiao Ci'er performed well just now, although he acted a little too much, but it was enough to fool those stupid people." ”

"Hmph, then you can tell me, where did I not act well?"

The little girl was very unconvinced.

The boy raised his eyebrows, "You broke your left foot, but you covered your right foot." ”

"So, then they didn't believe it?"

"That's why I call them stupid."

“……”

Xie Jinci choked and changed the topic with a shy face, "Little brother, you asked me to distract their attention, in fact, to enter the gift room alone, right?" ”

Shen Changfeng: "Hmm. ”

"Uh-huh? You go on to say, did you do something when you went in? ”

The little girl looked up with a small white face, and the fawn's eyes were full of curiosity.

Shen Changfeng chuckled, "Actually, I didn't do anything." I opened the south-facing window three inches, and by the way, I sprinkled something interesting on one of the old lady's birthday gifts......"
