Bi Xuan has a bookish scent, and Shen Xi feels that she is quite similar to Xie Yun'er, who is also from a scholarly family.

But Xie Yun'er is very lucky, she is not an official eunuch, even if her grandfather and father are imprisoned for their crimes, they are not involved in the Xie family's daughters.

Bi Xuan's fate was much more tragic, her family was in trouble, and even she herself was not spared.

Shen Xi didn't know who Bi Xuan's surname was, let alone her background, but she only felt that she had a melancholy temperament, which was a feeling for her life experience and confusion about her future life.

With easels moving, the paper is ready, and everything is ready to go. Shen Xi carefully checked that the paper was pressed with three layers of rice paper, which was of excellent quality and had excellent Hui ink.

But ink is easy to stain the sleeves, and Yu Niang did not add fragrance to the red sleeves herself, but asked a maid to study ink for Shen Xi.

"Trouble, find some water, and mix these paints too." Shen Xi said to the maid.

The maid looked at Yu Niang with an inquiring gaze, Yu Niang made a look, and scolded in her mouth: "It's really ignorant, what Shen Gongzi said, you just do it." ”

The maid lowered her head when she was scolded, and hurriedly went out to prepare water, but she didn't know how to mix the paints at all, Shen Xi simply did it herself, and soon prepared some basic color paints were blended, Shen Xi also asked for the scene, and the colors that were necessary for portrait painting were all the pink and green colors of Bi Xuan's clothes.

Yu Niang didn't want to bother more, but she couldn't help but want to see that Shen Xi's preparations were so meticulous, which was completely different from the way the painters she had invited before.

Over there, Bi Xuan was already standing, slim, slightly bowing her head, lacking a sense of brilliance and temperament. Shen Xi glanced at it and shook his head: "I may be slower to paint, Yu Niang, can you let Miss Bixuan sit at the window and look outside, and I will paint slowly?" ”

Jade Lady promised. asked the maid to move the chair to the window, and Bixuan sat down, still looking a little nervous. But when she looked out the window, her eyes fell on the ethereal and mighty Tingjiang River. Unconsciously exudes a sad and melancholy temperament, which is exactly the feeling that Shen Xi is looking for.

Shen Xi was about to freeze the feeling of this moment on the drawing paper, but Yu Niang stared at him deadly, making it difficult for him to put pen to paper for a while.

"Yu Niang, I don't know if I can wait next to you?" Shen Xi turned his head and asked.

Yu Niang glanced at Shen Xi. As if to say, you kid is so troublesome. But she also knew that she couldn't affect Shen Xi's painting, so she had to stand up and step aside.

At this time, Shen Xi picked up the brush and presented Bi Xuan's appearance and temperament on the drawing paper.

The average painter can only draw the face of the person at most, and paint with a brush, which can only outline the lines, lack the light and shade, and finally let people compare it with the real person. It's not easy to be a little similar. However, Shen Xi's paintings are no longer simply the pursuit of "image", but to express the feelings and temperament of the characters, and his paintings are living people, not a lifeless painting.

Shen Xi painted very quickly, and in less than a stick of incense, the painting was basically completed.

At this time, Bi Xuan was still looking at the scenery outside the window, and the look on her face became much more natural, or because she was climbing high and looking into the distance. Let her mood become broader, and the confusion in her heart has also been somewhat resolved.

"It's done." Shen Xi suddenly stood up and said.

Yu Niang, who was pondering Shen Xi's person, was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and couldn't help but get up and walk this way, and said, "Slow work makes careful work." Shen Gongzi is so perfunctory, is it ......?"

Her words quickly stopped, because she saw the vivid "Bi Xuan" on the paper.

It was the only beautiful painting she had ever seen in her life.

The woman in the painting is exactly the same as Bi Xuan, with a seven-point side face, which is just the most beautiful angle to observe a woman. The appearance is beautiful, and even the feelings of the beauty are on the paper. Yu Niang even felt that this was carved according to the mold of a real person.

"Oh, this ...... It's really rare for someone to die. ”

Yu Niang obviously didn't expect Shen Xi's painting work to be so superb, she beckoned to Bi Xuan without raising her head, and said, "Bi Xuan, come and have a look." It's a god. ”

Bi Xuan walked over, and when she saw another self on the paper, as if she was seeing herself in a bronze mirror, her eyes couldn't help but widen.

A beautiful jade figure sits at the window, looking into the distance, whether it is the color of the skin, the color of the clothes on the body, or the depiction of the surrounding scenery, it is no different from the actual scene. She looked at it with incredulity, then reached out to gently cover the cherry mouth, and there was something more sparkling in her eyes.

"Yu Niang, is this really me?" Bi Xuan cried with joy.

Yu Niang admired sincerely: "Isn't this you, look at this...... I don't even know how to describe it. Shen Gongzi's painting is really extraordinary, no wonder Ye Xianling sighed gloomily after seeing Yunliu, and his feelings were not to find the fairy breath floating outside the world in the painting. ”

Shen Xi's face was embarrassed: "Yu Niang praised it." After the painting is finished, can I go back? ”

"No hurry, no hurry."

Yu Niang smiled, "Why is Shen Gongzi in a hurry to leave? Originally, Shen Gongzi must be paid, but the slave family heard that Shen Gongzi is the young owner of the Chamber of Commerce, and the family is not short of money, so it is better to sit down and let Bixuan toast you with a glass of wine...... How about tea, as a reward? ”

Shen Xi glanced at Bi Xuan, expecting that this woman was arrogant, and couldn't help but shake her head: "I'm just afraid that I will snub Miss Bi Xuan." ”

A blush appeared on Bi Xuan's face: "It should be the honor of the little girl." ”

Saying that, he walked inside, and said as he walked, "The slave family is going to change clothes......"

Yu Niang smiled from ear to ear: "It's a pity that Shen Gongzi is still young, if he is a few years older, I'm afraid Bixuan will recommend herself tonight." ”

Over there, Bi Xuan walked to the screen and turned around and scolded lightly: "Yu Niang, you are here to make fun of people again." ”

The embarrassment of her daughter's family made Shen Xi really feel that she seemed to mean something to herself. But he hurriedly put away this idea, Xi'er's attitude towards Su Tong a few days ago is the best example, these people in the wind and moon will have all kinds of means to entrap men.

In other words, what if she really had an intention on herself?

He was only a ten-year-old child, and his heart was weak. Even if she is a few years older, this Bi Xuan is a dusty woman after all, and he is not a person all the way, if he is emotionally involved, his appearance will never end, it will only make him troubled, it is better to draw a clear line earlier, and it is better to distinguish clearly.

Yu Niang waited for the ink on the paper to dry, and took off the drawing paper. Take the painting and go downstairs. After a while, there was the sound of women outside "chattering".

Although when they are open to the public, the girls here are all dusty women and need to entertain people with their voices, but they are also women in their prime after all. It's fun to see something new and interesting.

When Bi Xuan came out from behind the screen again, she had already changed into a simple dress, which was what she was used to wearing on weekdays. She came over and poured tea for Shen Xi herself. Her technique is very unique, she should have learned some tea arts, and when the tea is brewed, she will raise the teacup and serve it to Shen Xi: "Son, please taste tea." ”

Shen Xi smiled faintly and took the tea to taste, it was indeed a good tea. Although it is not a well-known tea, the tea brewed by this brewing method is also very fragrant.

Just when Shen Xi looked at Bi Xuan, making Bi Xuan a little overwhelmed, the door opened, and Yu Niang came over again. There was a person behind him, who was Xi'er whom Shen Xi had seen before.

"Shen Gongzi, Miss Xi'er has a reluctant request, I don't know ......"

As soon as Yu Niang was halfway through her words, Shen Xi waved her hand: "Yu Niang once said, I only need to paint a painting, and Yu Niang can't be untrustworthy." ”

Yu Niang didn't expect Shen Xi to refuse so simply, and she was embarrassed to say the rest of the words.

However, Xi'er Qiong's nose wrinkled slightly, and she shouted: "You are so rude." ”

Shen Xi shook his head: "I just don't paint." Why is it rude? ”

Xi'er smiled coldly: "In that day, you said 'wasp tail back needle, the most poisonous woman's heart', when I didn't hear it?" It's just a young man who can paint. If you don't understand the world, are you afraid that you won't be paid? ”

Yu Niang reproached with a straight face: "Xi'er, don't be rude to Shen Gongzi." ”

Shen Xi was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect Xi'er to not only have a good ear, but also hold grudges. That **** is just a casual mutter, and what is judged is an objective fact.

The reason why Sutong was beaten. To a large extent, it was because Xi'er pretended to be aggrieved and instigated it.

Shen Xi Zhengse said: "Miss Xi'er, this 'wasp tail needle, the most poisonous woman's heart', I have never heard of it in Xia, as for why Miss Xi'er has to rely on what I said below, I don't know why." ”

"Say it again!"

Xi'er was an anxious person, and when she heard Shen Xi talking nonsense with her eyes open like this, she couldn't help it, so she wanted to step forward to "teach" Shen Xi. But being glared at by Yu Niang, Xi'er immediately weakened and hurriedly retreated to the back.

Yu Niang came over and said: "Shen Gongzi refuses to paint for Xi'er, that is because she is blessed, and she does not have such fate." The slave family will not force it. ”

Shen Xi said with a smile: "It's not impossible to let you paint for Miss Xi'er, it's just that the salary is ......."

Xi'er's eyes lit up, thinking that she could be like Bixuan, jumping on the paper, it seemed that she didn't care how much money she spent.

"Say, 'How much silver?'

Shen Xi stretched out five fingers: "Fifty taels." ”

"Ahh Xi'er was shocked, "Fifty taels, why don't you grab it?" You...... You ......"

Saying that, she hurriedly pulled Yu Niang's sleeve, meaning to let Yu Niang go over to "bargain".

Yu Niang asked with a smile: "Xi'er hasn't been here for a long time, she is arrogant on weekdays, she rarely comes out to accompany the wine and socialize, and she doesn't have enough money, I wonder if the son can collect less?" ”

Shen Xi shook his head and said: "The market price, pay with one hand, paint with the other, one less child, I will not leave a stroke on the drawing paper." ”

Xi'er was furious, glaring at Shen Xi as if she was about to kill.

But in the end, she looked at Yu Niang with a sad face and pleading, meaning that she liked it very much and wanted Yu Niang to help with some silver. Yu Niang shook her head resolutely.

Xi'er gritted her teeth and said, "Fifty taels is fifty taels, but not now, you ...... Next time you come back and draw it, I'll have the silver ready. ”

These words not only made Shen Xi feel incredible, but even Yu Niang was a little surprised, Yu Niang asked, "Xi'er, where did you get fifty taels of silver?" ”

Xi'er snorted lightly, didn't even explain, turned around and went out.

Yu Niang shook her head helplessly, and walked over with an apologetic face: "Shen Gongzi, forgive me, Xi'er is always a child's temper and can't be disciplined." ”

Shen Xi said with a smile: "Listening to Yu Niang's meaning, it is also a child's temper below, and there is no way to discipline it?" ”

Yu Niang was stunned, and then realized that Shen Xi was a real "child", and couldn't help but laugh dumbly for a while.
