As soon as Zeng Rong heard that Ouyang Ji was coming, he hurriedly dropped the branch in his hand and happily followed the maid to the front, who knew that it was unfortunate that when Zeng Rong entered the hall, there were not only Ouyang Ji in the hall, but also two people she didn't want to see, Wang Chuchu and her sister Wang Di, and the three of them were arguing about the ornaments.

"Miss Ouyang, are you looking for me?" Zeng Rong took a deep breath, controlled his emotions, and then walked in front of Ouyang Ji.

"Ah Rong, I haven't seen you for two months, you seem to have grown taller, your face is much whiter, and you are much more beautiful." Ouyang Ji noticed Zeng Rong's changes at a glance and said with a smile.

Being praised so bluntly for his good looks, Zeng Rong was a little thin-skinned and couldn't hold back, and touched his face, "It may be that it is better to eat in the countryside than in the past few months, and there is no need to go out to do things." ”

"That's right, I must not have enough to eat in the countryside before, how can I have any good looks?" Xiaoqing interjected.

"You didn't have enough to eat in the countryside before?" Ouyang Ji asked, his face suddenly showing concern, and there was a slight suspicion in his tone.

She has never been in contact with the real poor, even if she goes back to her hometown to accompany her parents, she is only in her own yard, and the only contact she has come into contact with is a few people from her own family, but the people will not be hungry.

"Miss Ouyang is looking for me?" Zeng Rong didn't want to continue that topic, because she saw the kind of contemptuous gaze cast by the Wang sisters, not to mention how panicked she was, but she couldn't do anything.

"That's right, I want to embroider a few purses for my third brother, can you help me draw a few patterns, he said to be a little more unique, preferably animals, not cicadas and grasshoppers and grasshoppers before, change something else. By the way, he belongs to rabbits, and you can also help me draw two rabbits, don't worry, I will pay you. Ouyang Ji said.

In fact, she originally wanted to buy a few of these purses directly from Zeng Rong, but her brother was unwilling to use the same ones with others, so she came to Zeng Rong and wanted Zeng Rong to draw a few patterns and sell them to her, so that she would not rejoin with others.

"Can I? Your third brother is a scholar, and I'm afraid of being laughed at and generous. Zeng Rong shook his head.

"Don't worry, no, my third brother has seen the purse you made, and said that it is very interesting, vulgar and vulgar, lively and interesting, elegant and elegant, noble and clear, I can also draw a few strokes myself, but most of them are still lifes, such as flowers and plants, and these living things are really limited."

Zeng Rong heard that the other party's tone was so sincere, and was just about to agree, when Wang Yan on the side asked, "Sister Ouyang, do you mean that these patterns were drawn by her?" ”

"Yes, more than two months ago, I asked Miss Ah Rong to help me embroider a purse, which is a similar pattern, but there is no inscription. By the way, speaking of the title poem, Sister Ah Rong, did you add these poems yourself? Ouyang Ji asked.

"Yes, Ah Rong's class got an axe, which made Miss Ouyang smile." Zeng Rong generously recognized it.

Her original intention was to make a name for herself, and now that the opportunity has come to her, why not?

"Have you ever studied?" Wang Yan glanced Zeng Rong up and down, as if he didn't believe it.

"I didn't read it formally, but I learned a little bit from others." Afraid that his eyes would reveal his emotions, Zeng Rong said this with his head down.

It's just that her bowing head has become cowardly and respectful in the eyes of the other party, and there may be a trace of weakness, so Wang Di asked again: "Where does the words 'one cicada and one tea, one thought for a lifetime' come from?" ”

"Zen tea from Buddhism, the original text is a Zen world, a tea and a life, I have slightly modified it, but this Zen is not the other cicada, borrowed a sound." Zeng Rong replied.

"You go to Zen?" Ouyang Ji asked in surprise.

"Not really, but the academy where I lived before is next door to an ancient temple, which has been somewhat contaminated."

"It turns out that you have lived in the academy, and it is strange that as soon as I met, I thought that you were extraordinary, and sure enough, you had poetry and books in your belly, and even so, the inscription poems on the purse also bothered you." Ouyang Ji said with a smile.

Zeng Rong responded and agreed that the other party would pick up the goods the next day.

"Then you can draw me some too, I want a tiger." Wang Chuchu suddenly spoke.

"No, I haven't." Zeng Rong directly refused.

"You mean you can't paint what you've never seen, so can you paint everything you've seen?" Wang Yan was a little unhappy when he saw that Zeng Rong rejected her sister so simply, without even a title.

"It's not." Zeng Rong spit out two words.

Ouyang Ji saw Zeng Rong being so blunt, thinking that she didn't know the identities of these two people, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "Ah Rong, these two are the two daughters of the Zhenyuan Marquis Wang family. ”

"I've seen two Miss Wang." Zeng Rong curtsied.

No way, the situation is stronger than people.

It's just that this breath is not a matter in my heart, so after getting up, Zeng Rong said to Ouyang Ji: "Miss Ouyang, if there is nothing to do, I will go back to the workshop, you also know that we have our rules." ”

"Okay, you can go." Ouyang Ji also saw that Zeng Rong and the Wang sisters were not dealing with each other at this time, for fear that Zeng Rong would say something inappropriate.

"Third sister, look, look at her... Wang Chuchu saw that Zeng Rong didn't say a word, curtsy and turned to leave, pointing at her back angrily and pouting.

"Okay, it's just an uninformed countryman, what do you have to do with her?" Although Wang Yan was unhappy, he didn't want to let outsiders see the joke outside.

"No, you didn't see what she was like to Sister Ouyang?" Eight-year-old Wang Chuchu still doesn't know how to hide his joy and anger, but feels that he has been left out.

You must know that her aunt and mother have been crowned the queen by virtue of her son, and her father is the marquis of Yipin Town, and her status is much higher than that of the Ouyang family.

"Miss Chu Chu misunderstood, Ah Rong was also very reserved when he first saw me, and he didn't know the rules very well, but later learned that we were fellow villagers, so he became more comfortable." Ouyang Ji said something for Zeng Rong.

In fact, she was also quite puzzled by Zeng Rong's behavior, but she knew one thing that Zeng Rong would never afford to offend the Wang family.

Wang Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth, didn't say anything, and turned to Wang Chuchu, "Is there anything you want?" ”

Wang Chuchu pouted and said, "It's not rare." ”

"Miss Ouyang. Let's go first. After Wang Yan finished speaking, he led Wang Chuchu and walked out.

"Miss Wang..." Ouyang Ji was about to catch up and explain a few more sentences, but as soon as he saw the other party's gaze shooting at him, Ouyang Ji stopped his mouth and didn't take a step out.

Speaking of which, she has no friendship with the Wang sisters, but she has only met at several flower viewing parties, but because she is not in a circle, at most she is only a nodding friend, so she really speaks of it and has no weight in front of the Wang family.
