Chapter 23 Preparing for the Exam
Jin Xi and Hongyu came to the council hall first, and the old ancestor was already waiting there.
The ancestor saw Jin Xi and said: "Jin Xi, you should benefit a lot from going to the painting party in the past two days, right?" It's really hard for you to work so hard. ”
Jin Xi said: "If I go back to my ancestors, I have indeed gained a lot in the past two days and seen a lot of famous works. ”
The old ancestor said: "It's good to have a harvest, oh, this is the tea I just ordered someone to make, drink it quickly, you must be thirsty along the way." ”
Jin Xi said: "Thank you, ancestor. ”
The old ancestor said, "I heard that you brought someone back this time?" Where is this man now? ”
Jin Xi said: "Oh, this time I went to the auction and happened to meet the wine master, and he is very good at painting, so I specially invited him to come to my house to be my painting master and teach me to paint." And it is said that in two days, Shen and Leng Moling will come to the lawsuit? ”
The old ancestor said: "Well, that's right, there are still three or four days left, and I wanted to invite you to invite a teacher from the academy to teach you how to paint, but now, since you have found Mr. Painting, then I am relieved." ”
Hongyu came to report at this time: "Old lady, Miss Jinxi, the wine master is waiting outside the door." ”
The old ancestor said, "Let him in!" ”
Mr. Wine entered the main hall dressed in a burlap robe, and the only thing that remained unchanged was his wine gourd and paintbrush bag. But even so, this dress still couldn't hide the immortal wind bones on his body.
"I've seen Mrs. Su, who is old and talented, and I came to guide Miss Su Jiajinxi to paint."
The old ancestor looked at the wine master: "Although the old gentleman is not good-looking, I can feel that you are a serious and responsible gentleman, dare to ask the honorable name?" ”
The wine master smiled and possessed: "The old man has no name for a long time, but people give him the nickname 'Old Drunkard', Mrs. Su, please feel free." ”
The ancestor said: "Haha, you can see that you are a free and easy person, Mr. Wine." You go down first, start Ming'er, and the little girl's exam preparation will be handed over to you. ”
The wine master said: "The old man will help you. ”
The old ancestor turned his head to Jin Xi and said, "Okay, Xi'er, you can go down too, and rest early." Starting tomorrow, it's time to use up the preparation exams. ”
Jin Xi said, "Yes." Then he left the council chamber with the master of the sommelier.
Hongyu took advantage of the time between the three of them to talk and went to report to the eldest lady again, and she stuffed a note into the hand of the eldest lady's maid: "Hurry up and take it to the eldest lady!" ”
Zhao Yunlan opened the note and looked at it: "Su Jinxi invited a master to help, and the entrance exam is in hand." Then he took the note and went to find Su Jinruo and Su Jinxuan, who were practicing painting in the back garden.
Zhao Yunlan handed the note to Su Jinruo and said, "Jinruo, look." ”
Su Jinruo looked at the note and sneered: "Hmph, that's it?" Didn't we hire the best gentleman in town? ”
Su Jinxuan also added fuel and vinegar next to her: "That's right, I can't invite any good people to her." ”
The two sisters chatted with each other, and Zhao Yunlan thought, "No, I have to find a way......
From the next day, Jin Xi began to officially practice painting with Mr. Jiu, but it was all in the study, so except for Hongyu, who occasionally brought tea and water and delivered food. No one knows how far Jin Xi has practiced.
I just heard people say that every time I walked under the window of Miss Jinxi's study, I could always hear the wine master reprimanding Miss Jinxi: "Oops! You're stupid! Why can't you teach it! ”
And every time someone asked, Jin Xi said, "Oh, I haven't learned it yet!" I'm so stupid! The wine master is also very helpless. ”
Of course, these news reached the ears of the eldest lady Zhao Yunlan, and even Su Jinruo and Su Jinxuan thought that they could sit back and relax, so they neglected to practice, and just took the opportunity to practice painting all day long to have fun.
Soon, a week passed, and finally it was time to taste the talents.
In the evening, Shen and Leng Moling, both of whom came to Su's house.
Old Madam Su came out to greet the two: "Thank you Lord Shangguan and Lord Leng for taking time out of their busy schedules to participate in the tasting!" ”
Lord Shangguan said: "Where, Mrs. Su is too polite, and we are just raising our hands." ”
Lord Leng also said: "That's it, Old Madam Su is polite." ”
The old lady said, "Well, let's go, then?" Two adults, please! ”
The two said in unison: "Please!" ”
And Jin Xi was dressing up in his bedroom, Hongyu took out the big red dress prepared in advance and said, "Miss, today is the big day of the tasting party, this red is the most suitable, you can wear it quickly!" The red jade slave smiled and picked up the clothes. The rest of your clothes will inevitably be a little dirty after a long time, so I ordered someone to wash them. ”
Jin Xi frowned and thought: "Heh, what kind of tricks is this red jade doing, knowing that today is the old man's death day, but he specially prepared red clothes for me." It must be another bad idea that Zhao Yunlan's poisonous woman came up with. I'd like to see what else you can do? ”
Jin Xi smiled and took the red clothes: "Hongyu, you are really thoughtful, if I don't have you by my side, what can I do?" Jin Xi said as she put on her red clothes.
Hongyu thought that her plan had succeeded, and secretly rejoiced: "Where did Miss Jinxi say?" It's obviously Hongyu who follows you so blessed. ”
The two walked towards the main hall and living room, and Jin Xi suddenly squatted down and pretended to have a stomachache: "Oops, Hongyu, my stomach hurts!" If you want to go to the toilet, why don't you go first, I'll be there in a moment. ”
But Ruby said, "How can this be done?" You're not here, what's the matter with me going by myself? Why don't I go to the latrine and wait for you? ”
Just when Jin Xi couldn't think of a way to break the red jade, Liu Yu'e came over: "Xi'er, what's wrong with you?" ”
Hongyu said, "Miss said she had a stomachache. ”
When Liu Yu'e heard it, she understood: "Oh, that's right, Xi'er, I'll accompany you." Hongyu, you go to the living room and talk to the old lady first, and we'll be there shortly. ”
Liu Yu'e hurriedly walked to the corner of the backyard with Jin Xi: "Why are you wearing red clothes today?" Don't you know what day it is? ”
Jin Xi said: "Mother! I don't know, this is what Ruby picked for me! She also said that I took the rest of my clothes and washed them! ”
Liu Yu'e said: "How is this good? ”
Just when the two of them were anxious and helpless, Hongyu had already arrived at the living room and was standing next to the eldest lady, and the eldest lady asked, "How is it?" Is it still going well? ”
Hongyu secretly rejoiced: "It's going well!" Miss Jinxi, she is already wearing red clothes, and she will come over soon! ”
The eldest lady snickered: "Hehe, this girl is finished today!" ”
