Chapter 12: Whose Idea?

Wang Xi's eyes flickered a few times, and he recalled the countermeasures he had thought of, there were no omissions, and it should be feasible.

He has read these books for many years, and in the future, he wants to become an official in the court and do a great career. Wouldn't it be a joke if even an illiterate woman couldn't cope with it?

Now that he has a countermeasure, he just suppressed the impatience in his heart and tried to adjust his facial expression to ease his face. His eyebrows were still wrinkled, and he waved his hand to Mama Li and the two girls, and said, "What are you doing here?" You don't need to be served here, come up with two cups of tea, and stand down. ”

Then he turned to Xia Yanqing, "...... Well...... Lady, let's go, sit down in the house and talk. "This lady is so difficult to exit.

Xia Yanqing didn't know Wang Xi's difficulty, she heard this "lady" and Wang Xi's slowed tone, and her heart chuckled. This Wang Xi's view of right and wrong is too easy to loosen, right? She just explained, Wang Xi can really change her opinion of her?

If so, how can the next night be prevaricated?

Wang Xi walked to the inner room first, Mama Li asked Xinshu and the two girls to serve tea, and she gave Xia Yanqing a look again and again, asking her to follow quickly.

Xia Yanqing scolded in his heart as he walked inside: Didn't you say that the scholars who were mixed with officialdom in ancient times were very smart and cunning? The intestines also make dozens of twists and turns more than ordinary people. How could Wang Xi accept her explanation so easily? You know, her explanation is not very sincere, but she is just a cover-up in desperation.

When she walked into the room, Wang Xi was already on the couch.

When he saw her come in, he beckoned her to sit down, and said no more.

waited for Xinshu to bring two cups of tea up, he waved his hand to send the two maids down, then pushed the tea cup on the kang table, and said to Xia Yanqing: "Since you and I have already visited the church, then we are husband and wife, so naturally we can't be separated." There are some things that the husband still has to explain to you. ”

Xia Yanqing looked at the tea cup pushed in front of him, and did not reach out to take it, so as not to have unnecessary physical contact.

Hearing Wang Xi's words, she raised her eyes and glanced at them, indicating that she was listening.

But I was thinking about what to do next. Although with the current appearance and figure of Xia Xiaoniang, it probably won't make Wang Xi have any charming thoughts.

But the ancients had the habit of the ancients, newlyweds, whether they have feelings or not, they all want to have a round house, which has nothing to do with feelings and appearance.

Wang Xi took out a small roll of paper from his sleeve pocket, rubbed it in his hand, and said: "Traditionally, the union of husband and wife is a beautiful talk, you and I are now husband and wife, but it is far from being compatible. ”

Oh? Wang Xi: This is ...... It turned out that I had other plans, so I could talk to her with a pleasant face.

Xia Yanqing had some understanding, looked at Wang Xi with hope, and waited for his next words.

Wang Xi saw Xia Yanqing's reaction, thinking that she was looking forward to a better life in the future, and then said: "You are my wife, I don't want to look down on you and treat you slowly." So, now is not the time for you and me to be husband and wife. I can give you time, wait for you to increase your knowledge and cultivation, and when you and I can go hand in hand, and then achieve a happy marriage, do you think it's good? ”

Xia Yanqing looked at Wang Xi without blinking, but he was overjoyed in his heart. This goods, this is fooling the little lady Xia who is full of longing for the future.

Increase your knowledge to the point where you can keep up with you? Hehe, that dare is good, in this life, the two of us can go our separate ways and not interfere with each other.

"Second master, I don't know to what extent the concubine's knowledge has been cultivated to be considered compatible with the second master?" Xia Yanqing asked, but his eyes glanced at the small roll of paper in Wang Xi's hand.

This thing is probably the unattainable goal of Xia Xiaoniang's life, right?

Sure enough, Wang Xi slowly unfolded the paper roll in his hand.

It was a small painting of a magpie Hanmei, nine inches wide and two feet long. Although the length is not large, the painting above is very exquisite, with a meticulous brush, drawing a few branches of cold plums, between which are two magpies.

The red plum blossoms on the scroll are sparse and unusual, and the buds and blooming plum petals are very realistic, and the color transitions are natural and bright. Faintly, you can almost see the veins and stamens of the petals.

The two magpies between the plum branches play with each other, and their painting is also delicate and subtle, showing the delicate and delicate painting of the two magpies.

On the left side of the small volume, a small poem is inscribed in Juan Xiu's small block letters. The inscription at the end: Xu's Qinghui, a certain year and a certain month, where do you feel something, and paint here.

Xia Yanqing looked at this small painting, and suddenly understood what Wang Xi and Xu Qinghui meant. As long as Xia Yanqing recognizes Wang Xi's foolishness, just this painting can ruin Xia Xiaoniang's life.

This painting is too exquisite, although it is very rigid and full of craftsmanship, but it is not a level that ordinary people can achieve by learning.

What happened to Little Lady Xia, she wasn't sure. But with her own qualifications, if she spends all her strength to learn, although she may not be able to reach this situation, but at that time, I am afraid that it will be a few years or more than ten years later, and the daylily will also be cold.

What a big pit this is, waiting for Little Lady Xia to jump down! If she is poor all her life, Xia Xiaoniang will not be able to learn this level, and what is waiting for Xia Xiaoniang must be old and frail, and she will be lonely for a lifetime, right?

Was this Xu Qinghui's idea, or did Wang Xi think about it? Hehe, the battle in the back house of a large family, sure enough, there is no blood for murder.

She widened her eyes with joy, and asked innocently: "What does the second master mean, as long as the concubine learns to draw, she can love and fly with the second master?" ”

Is there wood on the back?

Probably Wang Xi was also very uncomfortable when he heard this, he moved his sitting figure, and added: "There is also the handwriting next to it, and it is also necessary to read and learn characters." Although every woman is not required to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she must always learn one or two things, especially our Xia family and Wang family, in poetry, calligraphy and painting, they cannot be left behind. ”

Xia Yanqing nodded again and again: "Second master, don't worry, the concubine will work hard, and let people prepare paper and pen paints tomorrow." ”

As she spoke, she held out her hand as if to caress the scroll. But after looking at Wang Xi, he timidly retracted his hand and asked, "This painting is so beautiful, I don't know who painted it?" ”

Wang Xi didn't hide it from her, and said with a smile: "This is painted by Aunt Xu." Aunt Xu, no matter her background or her status in our family, is not as good as her mother. The Xia family is a scholarly family, and the husband believes that as long as the lady is willing to work hard, over time, she will definitely be as good as she paints. ”

Xia Yanqing was full of confidence, "The concubine is from a famous family, and she is a husband. The calligraphy and painting of the concubine's body must surpass that of Aunt Xu in order to be worthy of her husband. "You're a special mother, just wait for your main room to surpass Aunt Xu.

Wang Xi's heart was half relaxed, and he said gently: "You learned calligraphy and painting late, you don't have to force it to surpass Aunt Xu, as long as it is the same as the calligraphy and painting on this scroll, you will be satisfied with your husband." "What a warm and considerate look.

Xia Yanqing was moved, but refused to admit defeat: "You can't wronged the second master, the concubine must surpass Aunt Xu in order to be worthy of the identity of the second master's wife." The second master must believe in the concubine body, and wait for the concubine's attainments in calligraphy and painting to surpass Aunt Xu, and then make a veritable and beautiful couple with the second master. ”

Wang Xi approvingly: "The lady is really extraordinary, she is an ambitious woman. ”

Then, he said with some concern: "It's just that if we don't have a round house for a long time, and there is no husband and wife, will my father-in-law and mother-in-law have other ideas?" That's not good. ”

"Don't be afraid." Xia Yanqing waved his hand and said heroically, "This is a matter between our husband and wife." If we don't talk about it, how can others know? Husband, don't think about it too much, the concubine just wants to be a harmonious couple with her husband, so she naturally has the identity and talent worthy of her husband. ”

Wang Xi: "......" speaks, this action...... The original apology in his heart was dissipated without a trace with Xia Yanqing's actions and words.

Mama Li didn't understand what was going on at all, and it only took a while to make the second master and the second grandmother go from a very incongruous couple to a harmonious and respectful couple.

But the facts are the facts, and the reality is that the second master and the second grandmother only drank a cup of tea, and then washed and rested one after another.

On the second day, there was even a Yuanpa on the bed, and there were spots of blood on it, although it was not much, but it was enough to succeed.
