Ji Zhongda stayed in the Gu Mansion for more than two months, so he had a clear understanding of the situation in the mansion.

The painting is indeed hanging in Master Gu's study, and Gu Mengbai's daughter Gu Yuexin also likes this painting very much, and goes to her father's room every day to copy and watch it.

Steward Wang praised Ji Sheng, and often mentioned in front of his wife that he was diligent, his accounts were clear, and the treasury was well organized.

Mrs. Gu was very happy when she heard this, so she often looked for opportunities to reward him. That Miss Gu also has nothing to do, and often runs to the account room, and sometimes asks the girl to quietly deliver food boxes to Ji Sheng.

Of course, Ji Sheng understands Miss's intentions, but there is a huge disparity in the family, and even if he has this love, he can only silently save it in his stomach, and he dare not have such delusions.

On this day, Ji Sheng went to the master's study to deliver the accounts, and saw Miss Gu copying the picture of the goddess on her father's bookcase.

He looked up and saw that the goddess hanging on the wall was as brilliant as ever, but now it was hanging on the wall of someone else's house, and he just said a few words silently in his heart: Sister fairy, if you endure it for a few more days, I will save you out.

After he finished chattering, he saw Miss Gu looking at him with a smile, so he blushed, lowered his head and said, "Miss is so Yaxing, painting beauties by the window here." ”

Gu Yuexin put the pen in her hand on the pen stand and said, "Brother Ji, please come and see my paintings, how similar is it?" ”

Ji Zhongda looked over and saw that the young lady's penmanship was very skilled, thinking that she had learned it since she was a child; It's just that the color is a little dull, the lines are not very flexible, and the portraits painted are like New Year's pictures sold on the street; Then he pointed her out a lot.

The young lady was very pleased, her face was full of blush, and she was beaming, and quietly looked at the Xiucai with her eyes: this person was a little thin, but her face was full and shiny, her slender eyes were full of gentleness, her thin lips were angular and angular, and her fingers were slender and white, not the face of being trapped in an alley for a long time.

The young lady saw it in her eyes and was happy in her heart, and she stroked her hair shyly.

Ji Sheng returned to the room at night and secretly wondered what to do, it was not a way to stay here all the time, so he had to change the painting and leave quietly.

A few days later, Gu Mengbai went to the outskirts of Beijing for a banquet and was not at home for three days.

Ji Sheng took advantage of this opportunity, and quietly went to Master Gu's study at night to replace the prepared fake goddess picture.

After he hid the painting in his room, he went to the king's housekeeper to quit his job.

Steward Wang was a little surprised, why did he quit his job after doing a good job?

Repeatedly kept him to stay.

Helplessly, Ji Sheng had to go, and Steward Wang said that I should ask Mrs. before you make a decision, Ji Zhongda said: Okay, you go and ask.

Unexpectedly, Steward Wang hadn't come back yet, but Miss Gu came, she asked Ji Sheng Why do you have to leave, is it because the Gu Mansion has treated you badly?

Ji Sheng said that Xiaosheng had his parents in the hall and couldn't stay any longer.

The young lady turned red in the eye, and said angrily: "Since this is the case, then why did you come in the first place?" ”

Ji Zhongda knew her intentions, but he was very helpless in his heart, and only said: "My parents told me to go home, but Xiaosheng didn't dare to disobey." ”

The young lady flicked her sleeves and went back to the boudoir crying.

Ji Sheng put the painting on his back on his back and quietly left through the back door on the second day.

He didn't dare to stop all the way, and returned to his house without stopping.

Closed the door and took out the painting, and kept saying to the goddess: "Sister Fairy, I have wronged you, Xiaosheng is not talented, I will take good care of you in the future." ”

Qixia couldn't help but feel pity when she saw Ji Sheng's traits inside, and she said to Qi'er: "We're here, it's really hard for him." ”

The finch nodded, flapping its wings and flying to catch insects.
