Chapter 50: Mother

Yuan Jiaoxi glanced at everyone and said, "This time it's still a picture of a lady, let's start writing." ”

With that, he took out a jug of wine and tasted it freely.

The sisters-in-law began to buzz and whisper again.

Zhang Qi, who was standing in the corner, unfolded the rice paper and thought about how to put pen to paper.

When it comes to painting, she is excellent, but what really makes her stand out is her embroidery. Combining embroidery and painting, she had practiced for a long time in her previous life. As soon as I started in this life, I felt a surge of inspiration.

Because of this, the paintings she embroidered could shock the emperor, Xiao Mo, Zhang Xuan and others.

Looking at the blank rice paper, Zhang Qi was thinking about how to attract Yuan Jiaoxi's attention.

β€”β€”He is one of the rare celebrities in today's world, who is willful and uninhibited, and has his own style. If he can value himself as much as Zhang Xuan and is willing to help, then he dares to ignore anyone, protect her generously, and generously cross the Zhang family to help her find a place she wants.

It's just that this kind of sister-in-law has long been accustomed to the world, and the woman's methods are much more knowledgeable, so it is not easy to impress him and get his attention again.

In Zhang Qi's search, the hours passed little by little. Until the end of a class, Zhang Qi's rice paper was still blank, naturally, and Yuan Jiaoxi did not look at her.

It wasn't just her who was blank on the rice paper, Yuan Jiaoxi glanced at everyone, and confessed carelessly, "Take it back and draw it." With that, Shi Shiran walked out of the school.

In the blink of an eye, both classes were over.

When Zhang Qi returned to the room, she was still thinking about it over and over again. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was worth doing. But what to do, she didn't have any bottom in her heart.

As far back as she can remember, she never had any dealings with real celebrities. In her previous life, a woman like her who aimed to be a "prostitute" could not understand the heart of a real celebrity. They live in a glitz, learn makeup, do charm, and think about how to keep men and how to find opportunities to keep heirs. As for the noble people of the spiritual level of the celebrities, where can they know?

As for what happened after leaving Zhang's mansion, Zhang Qi searched for the entire memory, and there was not much left. It seems that subconsciously she sealed the relevant memories, leaving only the purest girlish things.

Biting his lip and thinking about it, Zhang Qi still had nothing to do.

I don't know how long later, a maidservant's voice came from outside, "Aunt Qi is here?" Xuan Xiaolang called you. ”

What the? Zhang Xuan calling her again?

Zhang Qi was stunned and walked out in Ah Lu's crisp response.

Standing outside, it was really Zhang Xuan's personal servant.

Zhang Qi replied and said, "Wait a minute." After going back to the room and tidying up her hair and clothes, Zhang Qi followed the maid and walked out.

The maid took her straight into Zhang Xiao's courtyard.

The closer she got to the courtyard, the more nervous Zhang Qi became. She had her head bowed and her steps stiff.

At this moment, the maidservant stepped into the courtyard.

After walking for a while, she turned her head and said, "Xiaolang is waiting inside, let's go in." ”

"Yes."

Zhang Qi lowered her head and stepped into the hall.

In the hall, Zhang Xuan was holding a book in his hand and was sitting under Zhang Xiao's head and talking to her. Looking at his son, Zhang Xiao's eyebrows and eyes were kind, and Zhang Xuan was also smiling. In the right corner, Zhang Jin lowered his head and played with his handkerchief sullenly, Zhang Xiao occasionally called a few words, and she didn't seem to hear it.

Seeing Zhang Qi coming in, Zhang Xuan stood up, and he called gently: "Ah Qi, come and see your mother." ”

There was closeness in his tone, this was to help Zhang Qi get closer to his mother.

Zhang Qi hurriedly took two steps forward, Ying Ying was blessed, and called crisply: "Ah Qi has seen her mother." ”

As soon as the word mother came out, Zhang Jin, who was sitting in the corner, raised his head and glared at her, and let out a cold snort.

After Zhang Qi called, his eyes were flattering and cautious, and he looked at Zhang Xiao nervously, with a look of cringe in his eyes that he longed to be close but did not dare.

When he met her eyes, Zhang Xiao's face sank. She didn't respond to Zhang Qi's call, but turned to Zhang Xuan and said with a smile: "My son, you are also tired today, go back to the room to rest." ”

This is to support the opening of the Xuan.

Zhang Xuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Mother, the child is not tired. ”

He looked at Zhang Xiao and said sincerely: "Mother, Ah Qi is really smart, the child has spoken to her a few times, and she has some feelings. At that time, her mother helped her find a good son-in-law, and with Ah Qi's intelligence, she might be a foil. ”

As soon as his voice fell, Zhang Jin shouted on the side: "Ninth brother, what nonsense are you talking about?" What is my mother's status, how could she ask for the help of an illegitimate daughter? The more she thought about it, the more ridiculous it became, and she couldn't help but laugh.

Zhang Xiao's face is also not good. She glared at Zhang Xuan and said angrily: "Ah Jin's words are reasonable, Xuan'er, although you are a husband, there are some things that your sister can't figure out." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xuan looked depressed. He looked at Zhang Qi ashamedly.

Zhang Qi took his expression into his eyes and secretly screamed that it was not good: when Zhang Xiao saw his expression, most of them would think that today's incident was instigated by himself!

Sure enough, Zhang Xiao's eyes were even more gloomy.

Zhang Qi sighed secretly, Zhang Xuan's move was really self-defeating. She lowered her head, looked at Zhang Xiao's Yingying, turned to Zhang Jin, and said vividly: "Sister's words are wrong. Ah Qi has heard that it is the family of the three-rank doctor, and there are also concubines in charge. Although Ah Qi is from a humble background, she is willing to work hard, and she may not have a bright future. ”

It was the first time she had said a word in a straight way.

Zhang Xiao was stunned, Zhang Jin didn't expect her to dare to refute, and he was even more stunned.

In the silence, Zhang Qi bit her lip and said seriously: "What's more, Ah Qi also has some talents, if she can marry an official from a poor family, maybe she can be a helper." "Of course, the most important thing is that if the Xiao family is willing to support her and push her, she can have this creation.

Zhang Xiao stared at her. When Zhang Jinhua laughed, she said disdainfully: "Ah Qi's ambition is not small." ”

Zhang Qi knelt down, kowtowed respectfully to her, and said seriously: "Ah Qi knows some things, and the most important thing for my sister-in-law is to marry a husband with a comparable background, and then get his respect, and then I can talk about other things." ”

In this speech, she was talking about herself on the surface, but in fact she was talking about Zhang Jin. She wanted to tell Zhang Xiao through these words that she was a person who knew the rules, and she was never willing to instigate Zhang Jin to do that kind of thing that she taught and received privately.

Zhang Qi thought, in front of Zhang Xiao, there was a rare opportunity to speak. This time, he didn't get Zhang Xiao's liking, and he was the worst, so he had to get rid of Zhang Jin and Xiao Mo.

Speaking of this, she was afraid that Zhang Xiao would be disgusted with herself, and even thought of things that Zhang Jin hadn't thought about, so she took out the handkerchief embroidery from her arms again, and said respectfully: "This is embroidered by Ah Qi and her maid Ah Lu, and I want to dedicate it to my mother." ”

Her embroidery painting is the same as the most popular embroidery painting in Jiankang today, and it is more exquisite. If Zhang Xiao sees it, he will definitely be surprised, and some of her hole cards will be completely exposed, which is not what Zhang Qi wants now.

But she expected that Zhang Xiao would definitely not come to pick up her handkerchief.
