Chapter 22 Apprenticeship
Jin Xi is unrelenting to the old man, and must break the casserole to ask to the end.
Yingying said to Jin Xi: "Oh, Jin Xi, did you take the wrong medicine?" Maybe he's just an old man who can draw? β
Jin Xi said: "Where is it so simple for him to paint. "Intuition tells Jin Xi that this old man must not be a simple person, and it seems to be dΓ©jΓ vu.
The old man got up and packed up his paintbrush and sketchpad, and was about to get up and leave, Jin Xi had a plan: "Uncle, don't leave yet!" β
The old man said, "Oh, I said little girl, I'm just an ordinary bad old man!" Look at your appearance, which lady should be, right? Why do you keep chasing me? Oops! β
Jin Xi smiled and said: "Uncle, you misunderstood, I didn't want to pester you, I just wanted you to sit under the sun for a long time, you must be tired and hungry when you paint, why don't I take you to eat?" β
Only then did the old man stop walking: "Little girl, we don't know each other, as the saying goes, eating people has a short mouth, and taking people softly, you won't be the Hongmen banquet prepared for this old man for me, right?" The old man raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were full of wisdom.
Jin Xi wanted to dispel the old man's concerns: "Uncle, look at what you said, what is the matter?" I vouch for the personality of my Miss Su family, this is definitely just my voluntary invitation to dinner. β
The old man said, "Hey, since you have said so, little girl, then I might as well obey my fate with respect!" β
Yingying was puzzled, and she didn't understand Jin Xi's behavior: "Jin Xi, what are you doing this for?" He's a bad old man! β
Jin Xi said: "It's okay, you don't understand now, you'll understand when you eat later!" β
Jin Xi took the old man to the restaurant and ordered a roast chicken, a plate of oily meat, a sauced beef and two pig's trotters.
Yingying's eyes widened: "Oh my God, what are you going to do?" Has he eaten all of this? Yingying is too naΓ―ve, it turns out that the old man has this appetite at all.
Under the gaze of Yingying and Jinxi's widening eyes, the old man split the whole roast chicken in two, swallowed a chicken leg and spit out the bones in one bite, and then ate everything on the table at the speed of the wind.
The old man was very happy to eat and burped: "Hiccup! Thank you, little girl, for inviting me to dinner, I know I just said that you can't ask me to do anything with this, but I'm a man who has never been in vain, and if you need my help with anything, just ask! β
Jin Xi thought to herself: "It's okay now, in fact, I asked you from the beginning, but if you don't let you go, you won't help me easily." β
Jin Xi said to the old man: "Uncle, I only have one thing to ask for, I hope to learn from you, to say that in this city, only you can help me pass the exam of Guihuang Academy!" β
The old man drank the wine in the pot and picked his teeth unsatisfied: "Little girl, why are you so sure of me?" Surely I can teach you? I don't have much confidence in myself! β
Jin Xi smiled confidently: "Of course I have confidence, just because you are the big boss of the Ink Dyeing Pavilion - Qiu Xingyun!" β
Yingying was dumbfounded when she heard this: "What? He is Qiu Xingyun, the big boss of the Ink Dyeing Pavilion? How is this possible! Don't be kidding, okay? β
Jin Xi said: "Yingying, didn't you notice. The old man's method of writing is exactly the same as the painting we saw at the auction that day, and I specially asked Xiao Qianyu afterwards, Boss Qiu has always been low-key, uninhibited, and regards money as dung. β
The old man was silent and put down the wine jug: "Little girl, your eyesight is not bad, just with this, I accepted your apprentice, but I have never admitted that I am Boss Qiu, so you must not mention this matter in front of outsiders in the future." β
Jin Xi smiled and bowed to the old man: "A word is a certainty!" "But what shall I call you?" β
The old man smiled: "Haha, my biggest hobby besides painting is drinking, so you can call me a wine master!" β
Jin Xi hurriedly said: "The wine master is above, and he will be worshiped by the apprentice!" β
The wine master hurriedly went up to help her: "Oops, stinky girl!" Hurry up, you rich lady still kneel down for a bad old man like me, you are not afraid that others will find out that something is wrong! β
Jin Xi hurriedly got up, Yingying said: "Jin Xi, since the master has also found it, I have bought all the bits and pieces I want to buy, let's go back?" Jin Xi nodded, it was almost noon at this time.
Yingying led a few people back to the stable next to the passenger station and found the coachman.
The coachman had fallen asleep because he had seen a few people delayed.
Yingying called the coachman up, and the coachman saw that the eldest lady was leading a bad old man back, and was puzzled: "Miss, what are you?" β
Yingying said: "If you want to drive, you can drive honestly, and ask so much for what!" β
The coachman saw that Miss Yingying's face had changed, and hurriedly said, "Miss, don't be angry, let's go home!" β
In the carriage, Yingying asked Jin Xi: "Jin Xi, I just remembered when the coachman asked me just now, this time we will go back, and we can't reveal the identity of the wine master, this time we will go to the house, how should we introduce him?" β
Jin Xi said: "Hey, this is not easy? I've got my own way! β
Yingying said: "Then if you have a way, I will rest assured, I will not accompany you back first, I will go back to my house directly to sleep, although I have played and eaten in the past few days, but I am too tired!" β
Jin Xi said: "Okay, Yingying, don't worry, I'm fine." β
Finally arrived at the door of Jinxi's house, Jinxi and Hongyu got off the carriage with the wine master, Yingying said: "Okay, I won't go in, say hello to Mrs. Su on my behalf, and I will come to you to play next time there is a painting appreciation conference!" β
Jin Xi bowed and said, "Thank you Yingying, I'll take the wine master back first." β
Jin Xi took the wine master to the gate and knocked on the door knocker.
The next person Xiaoliu came to open the door: "Who?" It's coming soon! When I opened the door, my face immediately bloomed: "Oops! Miss Jinxi is back! "I happily reported to Mrs. Su.
Jin Xi returned to her room, and she said to the wine master at the door, "Master, go and change your clothes first, and I will take you to see the ancestor later." When Jin Xi was about to go to see the ancestor, the ancestor had already sent someone to find her: "Miss Jin Xi, the old lady said that you should go to the council room." β
