The eldest lady has never seen the Kang Fuzi painted by Xu Xi, so there is no way to know if Xu Xi's painting is like him. The stakes are very high, and she naturally wants to confirm it. Thinking about it, it is best to draw Mama Zhou.

This is her confidant, even if Mama Zhou is unwilling in her heart, she will not have any objections for the sake of her master. And she's old, so it doesn't matter if the portrait is seen. As long as she told Xu Xi to give it to Mama Zhou after the painting was finished, Mama Zhou would not have any ideas if she wanted to come.

Xu Xi saw that the eldest lady was distracted, and knew that things were promising, and he had been waiting for her to speak. At this time, although it was not Wen Po who was drawn, but Mama Zhou, Xu Xi was also very happy.

Things didn't go off track and still went in the direction she had hoped.

"Naturally, no problem." Xu Xi said, "I paint very quickly, almost half an hour." After dinner, you asked Mama Zhou to come to Pinmingju to find me. ”

"Okay." Seeing that there was hope for the matter to be resolved, the whole person was different from before, her eyes were bright, and her mental state was much better.

She stood up: "I'll call someone to pass the food." She looked at the old lady, "Mother, why don't I eat with Sister Xi at your place?" ”

She didn't want to go back to the big room to eat.

Facing Zhao Jingli's face, listening to him affectionately call himself "mother", thinking that this child she carefully raised may be born to the Wei family, the Wei family exchanged him for his own child, sought to seize the position of the son of the world, and let her child live abroad and suffered a lot, she was like a knife, so uncomfortable that she couldn't eat, and she didn't know what kind of attitude to treat Zhao Jingli.

The old lady didn't think about it at first, and when the eldest lady proposed to let Xu Xi paint a portrait of Mama Zhou, she still felt strange.

She knows the Zhu family, the Zhu family has always been stable and considerate, and she will not let Xu Xi, who has been tired in the academy for a day, paint a portrait of a subordinate because of the curiosity in her heart.

Now seeing that Zhu's whole person is much more energetic, the old lady has a flash of inspiration, and then she understands what her daughter-in-law thinks.

Her eyes lit up suddenly.

"Okay, you eat with me, it's too late for me to be happy. When people are old, although they like to be quiet, sometimes they are too quiet, and they miss the excitement. She laughed.

Seeing this, the eldest lady also knew that the old lady understood her intentions.

The old lady's worries, she understood best. But the old lady still supported her in figuring out who her real child was, and the eldest lady was very grateful.

"Thank you, Mother." She thanked her and hurried out to order the food.

Xu Xi stood up: "Then I'll go back and wash my face and change my clothes." ”

The old lady smiled and bowed her head, and her attitude became more and more intimate: "Go ahead." ”

After a while, Xu Xi returned to Rongxi Hall, and the meal was delivered.

The old lady looked at Xu Xi's meal and said to her: "Our ancestors and grandchildren eat alone, why don't we eat together in the future, it will be more lively." ”

Her share is naturally more than Xu Xi's, and it is one or two grades. She is an old man, her appetite is so small, she can't eat so much. I often ask people to send dishes that I don't like very much to the big room, the second room, and the third room, and whoever performs well will be rewarded to whomever they want. However, the vast majority of them are for large houses. But Rao is like this, there are still many dishes left, and those who don't use chopsticks much are rewarded to the people in the courtyard to eat.

Instead of wasting it, it is better to let this capable granddaughter eat, and at the same time sell the eldest daughter-in-law.

From the fact that Zhu shook her face, she could see that Zhu loved Xu Xizhen as his own child. She is good to Xu Xi, and her eldest daughter-in-law will definitely be happy.

Sure enough, when she heard this, the eldest lady became happy and said to Xu Xi: "Yes, if you accompany your grandmother to dinner, it can be regarded as filial piety for us." ”

Xu Xi was naturally not willing to accompany the old lady to dinner. Her dishes also have four dishes and one soup, both meat and vegetarian, and you can order them according to your taste, as long as they don't exceed that degree. Eat freely alone, eat slowly and quickly, no one cares, you can eat as much as you want.

can accompany the old lady to eat, not to mention the rules, and have to take care of the old lady everywhere, which is tiring.

But the two said so, what else could she do? Naturally, the smile should be "good", and you have to stand up and give the old lady a salute, thanking her for her favor.

The eldest lady stood and gave the old lady two chopsticks and dishes, and she did not sit down to eat until the old lady repeatedly told her to sit.

The old lady said to Xu Xi: "Look, that's why I don't let them eat with me." Eat at the same table with me, your aunt is tired and panicked, not only to take care of me, but also to take care of a large family. Usually she is tired enough, if she can't even eat raw, how can her body and bones be good? That's how I came here, so I can understand your aunt very well, and I don't want to be an annoying old lady. ”

"Thank you for being kind to me." The eldest lady smiled softly in her eyebrows, "You're not an annoying old lady, you couldn't be better." ”

Although the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also have contradictions, in general, the Zhu family is still very grateful to the old lady.

Probably only Zhao Yuanxun is such a biological son, except for their big house and the fact that the house is full of outsiders, the old lady is really good to her, and she can be regarded as sympathetic and truly loved.

In addition, even if the old lady doesn't like the second and third rooms, she has never been as good as the old ladies of other families to have two daughters-in-law. For the Wei family and the Su family, even if she doesn't like it, she tries not to see it out of sight and be pure in her heart, and not to be embarrassed by it.

From this point of view, Zhu really thinks that his mother-in-law is a very good person.

The old lady is not such a rigid person who pays attention to the rules, and occasionally says a few words during the meal, and the atmosphere is not uncomfortable, and the three of them have eaten happily.

After eating, Xu Xi directly asked Qingfeng to bring the things to Rongxi Hall and draw a portrait of Mama Zhou who was sitting there.

The eldest lady and Mama Jin accompanied the old lady around the courtyard twice, and then sat behind Xu Xi and watched her draw.

In order to exercise himself, Xu Xi once ran to the street to paint portraits of people in his previous life, and his hand speed is okay. She now only needs to prove to the two that the portrait she drew is very similar to the real person, and she does not need to pay attention to the use of lines, and she just needs to use sketching as much as possible.

She wanted to find out about her life experience as soon as possible, so as not to make the Wei family a demon all day long and annoying.

Therefore, it was just a cup of tea, and she painted the portrait of Mama Zhou.

The old lady and the eldest lady were watching from behind, and when Xu Xi just drew his eyes, the two of them were already amazed, just to not disturb Xu Xi, and tried to endure it. When Xu Xi drew his nose and mouth, although some of the shadowed parts had not yet been drawn, the two finally couldn't help but sigh vigorously: "It's too similar, it's too similar." ”
