Zhou Xuan returned to the bedroom in the inner courtyard, and after a while, cumin came, cumin had already changed back into a little maid's skirt, and looked at Zhou Xuan worriedly, afraid that he would not be able to bear the pain of Miss Qin's upcoming trip to Shouzhou, and asked cautiously: "Zhou Gongzi, what do you say should I do now?" ”

Zhou Xuan asked: "Cumin, would you rather stay in Jiangzhou or go to Shouzhou?" ”

Cumin said: "Of course cumin is willing to stay in Jiangzhou, where she is used to living, who wants to go to Shouzhou, but if Miss wants to go, cumin still has to go with her." ”

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "I will find a way to let cumin stay in Jiangzhou, and of course, your young lady will also stay." ”

Cumin happily asked, "What is the best way for my uncle?" ”

Zhou Xuan pondered for a while and said: "I want to try your young lady first, if she has no affection for me at all, to be honest, then I don't have so much confidence in leaving her, if she still has a little affection for me, then it will be, because her cousin is not worthy of her - hey, cumin, why do you look at me like this?" ”

"Uncle, you don't want to be bad to my young lady, are you?"

"What do you mean, what do you mean?"

"For example, sneaking into my lady's room at night—"

"Wow!" Zhou Xuan jumped up: "Why do you think so, am I such a despicable person?" ”

Cumin was startled, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, you be quiet, don't let others hear, Uncle doesn't know, since my uncle lived in the inner courtyard, my young lady has to tie the door tightly every night before going to bed, and she has to move a big chair against the door, don't you say this is to prevent my aunt?" ”

Zhou Xuan couldn't cry or laugh, but thinking about Miss Qin's defense of him, it was not wrong for the eldest lady to live in the inner courtyard of a strange man, unless this eldest lady was very **** and eager to be insulted.

Zhou Xuan raised his head and chanted poetry: "No one believes in Gaojie, who will show his heart?" It seems that my noble character has not been understood by Miss Qin. ”

Cumin's eyes lit up: "Uncle is chanting poetry again, in fact, Miss likes Uncle Chanting poetry very much, last time you chanted 'when is the bright moon', my young lady copied it on paper, wait for cumin to tell Miss the two lines of poetry that my uncle just chanted - "

"Don't," Zhou Xuan hurriedly shouted, "I didn't write these two poems, they were poems by King Luo Bin in the Tang Dynasty, I just borrowed them to express my feelings of not being understood." I thought: "It's so hanging, it's almost exposed, it's not easy to copy this article." ”

Cumin let out an "oh" and asked, "My uncle just said that he wanted to try my young lady, how to try it?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "You go and tell Miss Qin that she is about to marry Shouzhou, and I want to draw a portrait of her as a souvenir, so let's go." ”

Cumin went in a hurry, and came back in a blink of an eye, her speed was really fast, and she said happily: "My young lady agreed, and asked when to paint?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Right now, go to the small study." ”

Zhou Xuan first went to the small study to do some preparations, grinding ink and laying paper, selecting pens and colors, and then waiting for Qin Que to arrive.

A vermilion lantern illuminated the night outside the door, Qin Que came in, she obviously retouched, her hair was combed into an elegant flower crown bun, the hairpin was swaying with golden steps, the moth eyebrows were lightly swept, faintly emerald colored, Yao nose and cherry lips, bright and moving, wearing a thin flower gauze coat, dragging a long skirt of shark silk on the floor, more beautiful than when she married Zhou Xuan that day.

Zhou Xuan looked straight and said in his heart: "If such a beautiful wife is snatched by that bullshit cousin, I will kill me with a piece of tofu." ”

Qin Que saw Zhou Xuan's eyes staring at her, his face was slightly red, he lowered his head, raised it again, and said, "Zhou Gongzi, you are not allowed to paint me like you painted cumin that day." ”

Zhou Xuan knew what she meant, and hurriedly said, "No, no, I'll draw the clothes first and then you." ”

Qin Que let out an "ah", and his face turned even redder.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I mean I'm going to draw a dress to cover your body, ah-"

Zhou Xuan himself shouted "ah", and the more he talked, the more ambiguous he became.

"I'm sorry, Miss Qin, I'm a little excited, I'm incoherent, I don't mean the slightest blasphemy towards you, I'm a piece of you-"

"Alright, let's stop talking about it, let's start drawing."

Miss Qin hurriedly interrupted Zhou Xuan's words, for fear that he would say shameful words such as "admiration" and "infatuation".

Zhou Xuan asked Miss Qin to pose like this, with her left hand on her waist and her right hand holding the corner of her skirt, as if she was going to step proudly.

Qin Que said: "Do you have to pose this way, can I sit upright and paint?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Miss Qin is tall, she can't show your beauty when she sits, and I don't like to paint dull portraits. ”

Qin Que was silent, Zhou Xuan's untraceable praise made her quite useful, no girl doesn't like to hear others praise her beauty, unless she is extremely disgusted with this person, obviously, Zhou Xuan is not so a failure, Miss Qin does not hate him.

The cumin had already found a black carbon head and sharpened it, and Zhou Xuan began to outline it.

Su Suzhen also came over, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law Zhou painted a portrait of Sister Qi'er, and the sewing needle is about to open her eyes again." ”

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "Sister sewing needle came just in time, wait for me to finish painting, please cut a set for Miss Qin according to the style of this dress." ”

Zhou Xuan began to paint with all his might, at this time he could enjoy Qin Que intently, the process of painting is a process of accumulation of feelings, he doesn't know what Qin Que feels, anyway, Zhou Xuan is more and more painting, the more he thinks Miss Qin is beautiful, the facial features are so delicate that there is no trace of flaw, Lin Qingxia sometimes presents a single eyelid, Qin Que will not; Lin Qingxia's eyebrows sometimes appear thick, but Qin Que will not, and that kind of quiet and solemn temperament is more like a hibiscus and green lotus, which makes people love and dare not deceive-

If Zhou Xuan's desire to marry Miss Qin was out of a man's face in the past, now he feels that he likes Miss Qin more and more.

Zhou Xuan gave Qin Que a set of elegant women's clothes with retro tendencies, the upper body is a tight waist short suit with a cheongsam standing collar, the buttons are obliquely to the right flank, the sleeves cover three inches below the elbows, the cuffs are flared, and the lower body is a six-piece pleated skirt that reaches the ankle, elegant and wide, because the right hand holds the corner of the skirt, so the outline of the left waist and hips is stretched, and a right calf is exposed, stepping on black high-heeled leather boots, the color of the short shirt and long skirt are all made of Guizhou wax-dyed fine broken blue and white, green silk piping, which looks deep and quiet and beautiful.

Cumin stood behind Zhou Xuan and kept smacking her tongue: "Tsk, my uncle painted it so well, Miss is so beautiful, Miss doesn't usually show the beauty, my uncle has drawn it." ”

The needle was a little pantothenic acid in her heart, she could see how attentive Zhou Xuan was, and she used painting to send affection.

This painting was painted for an hour and a half, of course, it didn't let Miss Qin stand for that long, and after the general form was outlined, let her sit opposite, because Zhou Xuan said that he wanted to depict the facial features in detail.

Although the painting took a long time, Qin Que didn't feel it for long, she was a little flustered under Zhou Xuan's gaze, and she could feel the heat of that gaze when she lowered her eyebrows.

Finally, Zhou Xuan said with relief: "It's done." ”

Cumin couldn't wait to cry out: "Miss, Miss, come and see, my uncle has drawn so well." ”

Qin Que walked over to take a look, a full-body portrait more than a foot high was lifelike, the coloring was elegant, the posture was vivid, the kind of waist pinching short dress highlighted her tall figure and graceful waist, the bell sleeves and wrists were exposed, and a white calf was exposed under the flowing long skirt, the whole portrait was both dignified and charming.

Qin Quefang's heart trembled, her face turned red to the back of her ears in an instant, and she said, "Eyes, the eyes are not quite right." ”

The Qin Que in the painting has charming eyes and affectionate veins.

Before Zhou Xuan could explain, cumin defended Zhou Xuan, the little girl's memory was really good, and said: "Miss, this is what my uncle said last time that art comes from life and is higher than life, my aunt painted like this to make Miss look better, uncle, is cumin right?" ”

"Yes, that's right!" Zhou Xuan smiled.

Miss Qin glanced at the portrait again, and whispered, "Thank you, Master Zhou, it's getting late, I'll go back to the room first." "I didn't wait for cumin, and walked away.

Cumin was still chattering excitedly, and Su Suzhen took the portrait of Qin Que and said that tomorrow I would go to the silk shop to find clothes with similar patterns, the style is easy to make, and the clothes are difficult to find.
