Chapter 24: The Great Shock

All the guests have expired, but the brocade is nowhere to be seen.

Mrs. Su asked Hongyu: "Hongyu, why hasn't your young lady come yet?" Let so many people wait for her, what kind of system will it become? Mrs. Su looked very angry.

Hongyu and Zhao Yunlan glanced at each other, and said to the old ancestor: "Back to the old ancestor, Miss Jinxi went to the toilet.....

Old Madam Su was so angry that she stomped on her crutches, but because outsiders were not angry, she could only sigh: "Oh, this brocade, why do you always make mistakes at critical times!" ”

Just when Ruby was complacent, thinking that her plan had succeeded.

Jin Xi and Liu Yu'e arrived, and Jin Xi said: "Jin Xi has seen the old ancestor!" Sorry for being late! ”

The old ancestor said, "I'm waiting for you alone, sit down quickly!" When the banquet is over, I will ask the teacher again. ”

Jin Xi bowed: "Yes." ”

Hongyu looked at Jin Xi, her face turned blue and white for a while, because, Jin Xi was obviously wearing a red dress just now, but it would turn purple.

Zhao Yulan asked Hongyu in a whisper: "What's going on!" Didn't you say she was wearing a red dress? Hongyu said, "I did give her a red dress just now!" ”

Jin Xi returned to his seat, and the old ancestor announced: "Today, our Su Mansion is fortunate to have two Guihuang Academy admission examiners, and I announce that the banquet will start now!" ”

One after another, delicious delicacies were served to the table, and Hongyu asked Jinxi in a low voice: "Miss, where is your red dress?" ”

Jin Xi pretended to be confused: "Oh, I accidentally got dirty when I went to the toilet just now, so I went to my mother and got a purple one, Hongyu, what do you think?" ”

Ruby said, "Oh, it's pretty good. Then he walked away with a deflated face.

Jin Ruo and Zhao Yunlan were also wondering about it, Zhao Yunlan said: "This Jin Xi is not wearing red clothes, what is the matter with this red jade?" ”

Jin Ruo said: "Heh, I know that this red jade is unreliable, I don't know why you always believe her." ”

Zhao Yunlan said: "Not necessarily, it's just that this plan has failed." ”

Just when the two of them were worried, Su Jinxuan said to Zhao Yunlan: "Mother, it's okay, I've already agreed with Jinxi, let her bring a not-so-beautiful painting this time, we're in control." Su Jinxuan looked proud.

Zhao Yunlan said: "Oh, you stupid girl, how could Jin Xi listen to you?" ”

Jin Xuan said: "Mother, don't worry, I have already found someone to inquire before, and the wine master is so angry with Jin Xi every day that he doesn't want to teach her, because she is too stupid, even if the painting is completed, it is estimated that it will not be much better." Jin Xuan's eyes were dripping, and she said smartly.

The banquet was almost over, and Mrs. Su felt that the time was ripe: "Okay, everyone should have had a good time, and then we will ask our Miss Su family to prepare their own works and give them to Lord Shangguan and Lord Leng Moling to taste one by one." ”

Mrs. Su said again: "Okay, ladies and gentlemen, please stand up according to your age and prepare to come up one by one to display your works!" ”

Jin Ruo was the first to come up and ordered someone to unfold his work: "Hello two examiners! I am the eldest lady of the Su family: Su Jinruo "Jinruo has actually had a secret affection for him since the last time I saw Shen in the lawsuit, and this time I see me again, it is inevitable that I will be shy; But she still remained reserved, saying, "I painted this painting with my own hands, and I named it "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix". ”

The lawsuit Si Shen and Leng Moling stepped forward to check Su Jinruo's paintings.

The birds in the painting are all delicate-eyed, flying towards the huge fire phoenix in the air, surrounding the phoenix in the middle. It's like the courtiers of the Manchu dynasty submitting to the king of a hundred birds.

Leng Moling said: "Miss Jinruo is not only beautiful, but also very good at painting, is it really a talent and appearance?" ”

Jin Ruo's face flushed: "Young Master Leng said that he laughed, what is the matter?" Then he turned his head to look at his favorite lawsuit, Shen, hoping to get some affirmation from him.

But Shen just looked at the painting expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Although this painting looks good at first glance, it is ......."

Jin Ruo's face seemed to change from a sunny day to a cloudy day as quickly: "Lord Shangguan, what is wrong with this painting, can you just say?" The little woman humbly listened to the teachings of the adults. ”

Shen said unhurriedly: "Although this painting looks good at first glance, because the colors are too bright and eye-catching, it makes people's eyes uncomfortable after looking at it for a long time." ”

Jinruo gritted her teeth, held back her tears, and picked at the corners of her clothes with her nails.

Shangguan Si Shen continued as if he didn't see it at all: "This painting is not only like this, but there is also a fatal problem, that is, the phoenix on the painting has no aura. This painting technique can only be said to be a cat and a tiger, digging deeper, obviously a divine bird, but painting a sense of mortality. ”

Then he straightened his sleeves: "However, if what you say is an entrance exam, it must be more than enough, you can rest assured." ”

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Leng Moling said: "Brother Shangguan, don't be so strict, people just want to take the entrance exam, why should you be so serious?" ”

Shangguan's face did not change: "What is this?" As the eldest lady of the Su family, she can't accept this accusation, how can she afford the responsibility of the entire Su family in the future? ”

Jin Ruo said: "What Lord Shangguan taught me is that the little girl must remember it in her heart!" Then he stepped down in disgrace.

Zhao Yunlan looked at Jin Ruo and sighed, and it was hard to say anything.

Jin Xuan said on the side: "Sister, it's okay, you wait for a while to see how Su Jinxuan makes a fool of herself!" ”

Jinruo sat there silently.

In order to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere, Mrs. Su said: "This Lord Shangguan is really good eyesight, and he can see the problems in the little girl's painting at a glance." Then I will invite Su Jinxi, the second lady of the Su family, to show her paintings! ”

Jin Xi bowed to the old ancestor: "Old ancestor, I have something to ask for." ”

The old ancestor said, "Oh? What is it? ”

Jin Xi said: "Can my painting wait until the end to be displayed?" ”

The old ancestor frowned and said, "Oh? Why is that? "I thought, "What kind of tricks is this girl doing again?" I haven't settled the account with her just now! ”

Jin Xi said: "Ancestor, you will know the reason for this in a while, but it is inconvenient for me to say it now." ”

The old ancestor said: "Okay, it's up to you, but if your performance disappoints me this time, I won't forgive you!" ”

Jin Xi said: "If you are disappointed at that time, you will be punished by your ancestors." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yunlan and Jin Ruo began to feel uneasy, and Zhao Yunlan thought to herself: "What is this girl doing again?" Didn't Jin Xuan just say that she would not disappoint me? ”

Jin Ruo was apprehensive and quietly began to watch the other sisters show their paintings.
