Shen Qiaoan and Ji Qingliu stood on either side of the front hall with their own paintings.

Old Madam Gu looked at Ji Qingliu for a while, and then at Shen Qiao'an. One of the two little ladies below is her own granddaughter, and the other is Shen Qiao'an, who has a graceful demeanor and a unique temperament.

For a moment, she didn't know who to call to come forward first.

Shen Qiaoan frowned, quietly waiting for Old Madam Gu to speak.

"Grandmother, the guests below are watching." Seeing that Old Madam Gu was hesitant to pay attention, Gu Congsheng lowered his voice and persuaded. If he talks about the public, he naturally hopes that his cousin Ji Qingliu will come forward to paint first. If it is selfish, he hopes that this Shen lady will step forward first and win a good reputation in front of the old lady and all the guests.

Gu Congsheng only thought of Shen Qiao'an in his mind, and his heart couldn't help but soften. With such a graceful beauty, how could he not be moved.

"Shen Niangzi, come forward." Old Madam Gu beckoned to Shen Qiaoan below and shouted softly.

The antechamber suddenly boiled at this moment, and soon fell silent again. What is the status of the Marquis of Jingshun in Yanjing? Everyone had different thoughts in their hearts, but Old Madam Gu's approach was very elevated to Shen Qiao'an.

She is a lonely and helpless orphan girl, how can He De be worthy of such courtesy as the Marquis of Jingshun's Mansion.

On the side, Ji Qingliu's body stiffened. Old Madam Gu's words were undoubtedly a slap in her face. Turning his head and stabbing Shen Qiao'an with an indifferent expression with hatred, Ji Qingliu quickly kept himself calm.

The nails were almost pinched into the flesh, and Ji Qingliu's heart was tumbling with monstrous anger. In this life, this Shen Qiaoan, she will definitely not let it go easily.

Shen Qiaoan stepped forward in a few steps, stopped at a distance from Old Madam Gu, and saluted. Without waiting for Old Madam Gu to speak, Shen Qiaoan took the lead in opening her painting.

A picture of the crane Chaoshou painted in thick ink appeared in front of everyone. On the rice paper, the crane raised its neck, as if it was singing and roaring. In the distance is a field planted with peach trees. The peach tree is painted with thick branches, which makes people know that the peach tree is some years old. At the bottom of the peach tree sat an elderly man in brocade clothes, with a few plates of peaches on the table in front of him, and several juniors in front of him were bowing their heads and saluting.

The whole painting is painted in ink, which is a little more stable than using colored paints.

Old Madam Gu leaned forward a few points, squinted slightly, and looked at the painting carefully.

The style of painting is calm and atmospheric, and there is no slightest setback in the flow of water at the place where the pen is placed, which is enough to see the length of the painter who made this painting. If it weren't for witnessing that this painting was drawn by Shen Qiao'an himself, I'm afraid everyone would think that this painting was made by a man.

As soon as the painting was unfolded, it attracted everyone's attention, and a few people in the back were too far away, and they took the initiative to come forward to take a closer look.

"Good, good! The painting is exquisite. The person who said this was a bachelor of the dynasty, and at this time, when he saw this picture of the crane dynasty, he applauded.

Seeing that Shen Qiaoan really had some real skills, the contempt in everyone's eyes was a little less when they looked at her.

"Grandmother, you've already seen Sister Shen's paintings, why don't you take a look at mine again?" Ji Qingliu's waist twisted slightly, and a few moved forward.

The look of surprise in Old Madam Gu's eyes faded, she glanced at Ji Qingliu with a smile, and responded, "Okay, Qingliu'er, let my grandmother see how much your painting skills have improved today?"

Shen Qiaoan does have some skills, although Mrs. Gu likes her in her heart, but this is her own granddaughter in front of her, and there is absolutely no reason to drop her face in front of outsiders.

Shen Qiaoan raised his chin slightly, his eyes blinked subconsciously, and a faint smile appeared on his little face.

Li Zhongxuan's gaze kept stopping at Shen Qiaoan, and there was a bit of cold light in his eyes, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking at this time. Seeing Shen Qiao'an smile suddenly, one of his hands moved itchyly.

"Grandmother, look, this evergreen picture was specially painted for you by Qingliu." Ji Qingliu couldn't wait to unfold the painting in his hand, so that his work could appear in front of everyone.

"Qingliu congratulates my grandmother for being like this painting, and she will be green for ten thousand years!"

Old Madam Gu stood up, and Gu Congsheng next to her hurriedly held Old Madam Gu's hand and respectfully led it down.

"Not bad. Your painting skills have improved a lot compared to back then, and now you are the real talent. Old Madam Gu stopped in front of the painting, looked at it carefully, and said.

There was a sudden heat on her face, and Old Madam Gu subconsciously raised her hand and touched it. She was old, and her face was not as smooth and white as that of a young woman, but as soon as she touched it, it was as hot as fire, and even a small raised particle was felt on her fingers.

Old Madam Gu didn't have time to think about it, and the next moment the sudden burning sensation on her face made her cry out in pain, "Ah! ”

The voice was sharp and hoarse, and it made everyone's hearts sink when they heard it. Ji Qingliu raised his eyes and saw that Old Madam Gu's face instantly developed many red rashes!

"Grandmother!" She screamed, wanting to reach out to support Old Madam Gu.

"Grandmother!" Old Madam Gu's body was about to fall down, but Gu Congsheng quickly helped her.

The change happened suddenly, and the entire front hall was instantly chaotic, and a group of people crowded to go to see the old lady.

Shen Qiaoan was no exception, she moved forward, with a somewhat anxious look on her face, and shouted, "Old Madam Gu?"

No one expected that Old Madam Gu would faint suddenly, Gu Congsheng hugged Old Madam Gu's body, and said to the others: "Go and ask for a doctor!"

"What's going on?" Ji Qiaohui kept her composure and stepped forward to preside over the overall situation. Now that Old Madam Gu fainted, the son-in-law of the Marquis of Jingshun was in a hurry to lose some sanity, so only she, the granddaughter, came out to preside over the overall situation.

Everyone watched Old Madam Gu faint with their own eyes, how could this happen.

Gu Congsheng put Mrs. Gu on the couch, and after about half a pillar of incense, the imperial doctor hurried over under the leadership of the Hou Mansion.

A lively birthday banquet was changed because of Old Madam Gu's fainting. The imperial doctor stretched out his hand to check the pulse of Old Madam Gu, but he put it down in a moment.

The imperial doctor's expression was solemn, he looked at the relatives in the middle a few times, and asked, "Old Madam Gu is allergic to peach blossoms, which of you has given her the smell of peach blossoms?"

"Nope............ My grandmother is allergic to peach blossoms, how dare we let her see peach blossoms, let alone smell them. Gu Congsheng said with a suffocation.

Because Old Madam Gu is allergic to peach blossoms, there is not a single shadow of peach blossoms in the entire Jingshun Marquis Mansion.

The imperial doctor raised his eyes and looked around, and was picked up by the painting that Ji Qingliu threw away in a hurry on the ground just now, and took a closer look.

But in an instant, the imperial doctor's expression changed, and he threw the painting in his hand to the ground violently, and said, "Which of you has painted with the paint that melted the peach blossoms!" The old lady is like this, but you know that you have made a big mistake! ”

"I ...... I didn't! Ji Qingliu staggered back a few steps, and the word panic was written on his whole face.

After saying that, his eyes swept a fierce glance at Shen Qiaoan on the side, and he almost gritted his teeth and said, "It's her!" It's Shen Qiaoan! I don't have it at all, why do you say that about me! ”

The others didn't believe it, the imperial doctor was holding the painting drawn by Ji Qingliu himself, and all of them saw it with their own eyes, and no one could take the opportunity to make some small movements.

The evidence is conclusive, but he still has to open his mouth to quibble, and even pull the irrelevant Shen Qiaoan. Everyone couldn't help but feel a little disdain for Ji Qingliu. The talented woman who was known for her talent turned out to be such a clumsy person.

Ji Qingliu's painting is proof.

Ji Qiaohui had a look on her face, and she couldn't wait to beat Ji Qingliu hard with her own hands. She likes to lose her temper on weekdays, and she just cares about Shen Qiaoan, she thinks that Ji Qingliu is still a young girl after all, but she didn't expect to make a big mistake today.

This is their grandmother! Ji Qiaohui trembled with anger, and asked in her heart, "How dare she do this!" ”

"It's Shen Qiao'an! Not me! Ji Qingliu shouted.

Then he walked towards Shen Qiaoan in a few steps, gritted his teeth and tried to reach out to pull her.

Li Zhongxuan saw that Ji Qingliu was already a little crazy, and stopped Ji Qingliu's hand before she reached out, her good-looking eyebrows and eyes furrowed slightly, "Miss Ji, there are many people, and pay attention to your own words and deeds." ”

Shen Qiaoan suddenly glanced at Ji Qingliu suspiciously, and said innocently: "Fourth sister, what is this going to do, everyone has seen you draw that painting with their own eyes, but now you want to slander me?"

Her voice was soft and glutinous, and everyone heard it, and they took pity on her even more.

Ji Qingliu's appearance of darting with his teeth and claws to quibble made everyone unhappy. They are all well-educated rich and noble families, and Ji Qingliu's behavior undoubtedly ruined his previous good reputation in Yanjing.

Ji Qiaohui stopped Ji Qingliu and said sternly: "Fourth sister, you hurry up and follow me first!" Could it be that you still want to lose the face of our Changning Marquis Mansion and Jingshun Marquis Mansion! ”

The Imperial Doctor had already prescribed an antidote to Old Madam Gu, and she only needed to sleep for a while before she could wake up.

Gu Congsheng's face was extremely pale, and he said to Ji Qiaohui: "Cousin, you take your cousin to the backyard first." Everything is waiting for grandmother to wake up and deal with it. ”

Ji Qingliu is the cousin of the Marquis of Jingshun's Mansion, if such a thing is done by someone else, Gu Congsheng can send people to the official mansion without saying a word.

But right now, what Ji Qingliu is doing is to ignore human ethics at best, and Gu Congsheng can't make such a decision.

Ji Qingliu was dragged away by Ji Qiaohui, and looked at Shen Qiaoan fiercely while looking back.

Shen Qiaoan didn't show emotion on his face, but he laughed in his heart. Looking at Ji Qingliu's appearance, where is there still a little bit of a noble girl's appearance.

Li Zhongxuan glanced down at Shen Qiaoan in front of him, and suddenly asked her in a low voice, "Why do you want to harm her like this?"

As soon as the words came out, Li Zhongxuan keenly noticed that the aura around Shen Qiao'an had dropped a little.

I don't know if it's because he saw through her plan, or because he's afraid he'll tell you about it.
