"Young Master Liu, Miss Qiao." The man saluted and said, "The little one is ordered to take Miss Qiao to Lord Wang's shade." (Yin Bu, that's the interview now)

Liu Zhan nodded, then looked at Qiao Qixin and said, "Lord Wang is kind, don't be afraid. ”

"Okay." Qiao Qixin answered, and then followed the schoolboy to the inside of Dali Temple.

"You brought that little girl here?"

Behind him, Kun Bai stroked his beard and appeared behind Liu Zhan.

Liu Zhan had long been accustomed to Kun Bai's elusiveness, so he bent down and saluted, "Master." ”

"Qixin and her relatives died, I want to give her an errand so that she can be stable for the rest of her life, and it is also the favor of her Li Mansion."

"Matter? Don't owe any more. Kun Bai looked at Liu Zhan meaningfully.

——

"Miss Qiao, it's here."

The schoolboy led Georgette to a room.

There was nothing in the room, just a chair and a table with a brush and an ink table.

"What about the examiners?" Qiao Qixin turned around and asked.

"Lord Wang seems to have gone to buy food......," the schoolchild said embarrassedly, "Miss Qiao, can you sit down for a while?" ”

Hearing this, Qiao Qixin nodded and said, "Okay." ”

After the schoolchildren left, Qiao Qixin sat on the chair and looked at the paper and ink in front of her, thinking about trying it first.

She fetches water and begins to grind the ink, then uses a brush to slide it over the rice paper.

For a while, I was fascinated by the painting.

Time passed slowly, and a family portrait was presented on the paper.

"Yo, girl, are you done?"

Looking up, a pot-bellied man looked at Qiao Qixin with a smile.

His mouth was still shiny, and he was holding three sugar gourds in his hands.

"One?" Seeing Qiao Qixin staring at him, the man sent the sugar gourd to Qiao Qixin.

Qiao Qixin shook her head and refused.

The man hurriedly took the sugar gourd back - he was just polite.

If Qiao Qixin really took it, he would still be unhappy.

"Are you Lord Wang?" Georges asked.

"Huh? My surname is good, but I can't afford to be called an adult," the man laughed, "You can just call me Uncle Wang, just like the boy surnamed Liu." ”

Qiao Qixin nodded and said, "Uncle Wang." ”

"Miss Qiao, your painting skills, why don't you go to the palace, you want to come to this broken Dali Temple." Uncle Wang bit the sugar gourd and stepped forward to take a closer look at Qiao Qixin's painting.

Qiao Qixin didn't answer, and Uncle Wang didn't ask.

The painting depicts a man and two women, one of whom is still holding a doll in her hand, and the other is a woman who has nine images with Qiao Qixin herself.

He clapped his hands and said, "Okay, you have passed, from now on you will be the painter of our Dali Temple!" If you have something to look for Liu Zhan, your Uncle Wang and I will go first. ”

Uncle Wang nibbled on the sugar gourd, patted his buttocks and ran away.

Qiao Qixin cleaned up the table, and as soon as she went out, she ran into Liu Zhan who was coming in this direction.

"Uncle Wang told me, from now on you will be an official member of Dali Temple." Liu Zhan said.

Qiao Qixin nodded, "What do I need to do?" ”

Liu Zhan bowed slightly, "Follow me." ”

ground floor

Liu Zhan took Qiao Qixin to a clean cage.

In the cage, it was someone Qiao Qixin knew - Li Zhirou.

Liu Zhan brought a chair and table to Qiao Qixin, and said, "You can leave after you finish painting her." ”

Qiao Qixin glanced at Liu Zhan, "It's so simple? ”

Liu Zhan nodded.

The other cells were all men, and Liu Zhan was afraid that Qiao Qixin would not be able to suppress it and would be bullied by them.

After Liu Zhan left, Li Zhirou in the cage looked up at Qiao Qixin.

Qiao Qixin glanced at her calmly, and then lowered her head to trace her face on the paper.

"Why you?" Li Zhirou grabbed the railing.

Her dark circles are very medium, her eye sockets are very large, she has lost a lot of weight, and she has lost the brilliance of Miss Li Fuer.

Qiao Qixin said indifferently, "I'm a painter, it's just my time." ”

"It's all you, it's all because of you, otherwise I'm still a good young lady now!" Li Zhirou clutched the railing, her nails turning white from the exertion.

"Oh, then you can come out and kill me." Qiao Qixin said indifferently.

She looked up at Li Zhirou's face, then lowered her head and continued to add details.

"By the way, you'd better get your hair straightened, or you'll look like a female ghost in the painting." Qiao Qixin said calmly.

Li Zhirou's eyes widened, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You slut." ”

"There are too many sluts who scold me, how old are you." Qiao Qixin put the paper up and contrasted it with Li Zhirou's face.

"If you don't cut your hair, I'll just do it." Qiao Qixin lightly opened her mouth and threatened.

In the end, it is the former miss, Li Zhirou still cares about her appearance very much.

She tucked her hair behind her ears and reluctantly said, "Draw better." ”

Qiao Qixin said indifferently, "I will draw what you look like." ”

"You!" Li Zhirou said angrily, "You cheap embryo! How dare you speak to me like that! ”

"Li Zhirou, come out and beat me if you have a kind, don't hide in the cage." Qiao Qixin calmly put down the pen.

"You ......"

Li Zhirou was just about to lose her temper when she saw Qiao Qixin stand up, and then gradually approached her.

"You, what are you going to do?" Li Zhirou said worriedly.

Qiao Qixin looked at Li Zhirou indifferently, "Is my blood delicious?" ”

After that, Qiao Qixin turned around and left, leaving Li Zhirou alone in the cell.

——

After handing over the portrait to the person in charge, Qiao Qixin left Dali Temple.

Discipline was already loose in Dali Temple, so no one cared about Qiao Qixin leaving directly.

She wandered aimlessly through the streets, glancing past every stall.

I didn't buy anything, I just watched, and a few stall owners thought she was some kind of thief.

"Huh? Qixin, are you here? ”

Suddenly, someone shouted from behind.

Qiao Qixin subconsciously turned around, it turned out to be Jinyan.

"You came out of Dali Temple? What do you think? Are you okay? Jin Yan walked up to Qiao Qixin.

Qiao Qixin nodded, "It's okay." ”

"Okay, let's go, what do you want to eat? Sister pays! With that, Jinyan took Qiao Qixin's arm and walked towards the food street.

——

Dali Temple

Liu Zhan flipped through the booklet and yawned boredly.

The person sent to Jia's house to search for clues has not returned, and there has been no major case in the capital, so Liu Zhan is very idle now.

"Yo, nothing to do?" Kun Bai walked in through the door.

Liu Zhan hurriedly got up, "Master." ”

Kun Bai had a smile on his face, he put his hands behind his back, "I have seen that little girl's painting, it is very good, and she is talented in Dali Temple." ”

"What does Master mean?" Liu Zhan asked.

Kun Bai looked at Liu Zhan and asked rhetorically, "What do you say?" ”

Liu Zhan shook his head, "I don't know." ”

The master and apprentice looked at each other, and neither of them would speak first.

——

Jinyan took Qiao Qixin to the restaurant.

"Shopkeeper, come with a sweet and sour fish, and then a green bamboo spring." Jinyan looked at Qiao Qixin, "Do you have anything you want to eat?" ”

Qiao Qixin thought for a moment and said, "Is it okay to have a sugar gourd?" ”

"Sugar gourd? Where do you get sugar gourds in this restaurant? Jin Yan groped her chin, "Sister will take you to the street to buy it in a while, let's have another black rice?" ”

"Isn't it too much?" Qiao Qixin said.

"Not much, you've worked hard today." Jinyan patted Qiao Qixin's shoulder.

Georgette didn't know why.

It's going to be no one, so the dish is served quickly.

Jin Yan stuffed half of the fish into Qiao Qixin's bowl, "This sweet and sour fish is a signature, you must order it every time, you can taste it." ”

Qiao Qixin lowered her head and took a bite, and the sweet and sour taste spread on the tip of her tongue.

"How? Is it tasty? Jin Yan asked with concern.

"It's delicious." Qiao Qixin nodded.

"That's good." Jinyan smiled with satisfaction, and then sandwiched a piece of fish meat for herself.

"His black rice is also very delicious, it is steamed with zongzi leaves, and it is very fragrant." Jinyan recommended it as she tossed the black rice into Georgette's bowl.

Qiao Qixin stopped and said that she couldn't eat so much.

Jinyan stopped stuffing something into Georgette's bowl.

Qiao Qixin realized that Jinyan's expression was a little hesitant and wrong, and said, "Do you have anything to ask me?" ”

When Jin Yan heard this, she coughed embarrassedly and said, "That, Qixin, didn't you pass it?" ”

"What?" Qiao Qixin was puzzled.

"Oh, it's the official painter, have you been brushed off?" Jinyan Road.

Qiao Qixin was even more puzzled, "No." ”

Just kidding, can her painting skills still be brushed down? Who can brush it down?

"Huh? Then why did you come out at noon? Jin Yan was puzzled.

Qiao Qixin was also puzzled, "I came out when I finished my business, Liu Zhan told me so." ”

Jin Yan was dazed, "Really?" But what Liu Zhan told me at the beginning was that he was busy as a dog in Dali Temple? ”

"Huh? I don't know that. Qiao Qixin stuffed a mouthful of black rice into her mouth, chewed it and swallowed it, "I did pass, Liu Zhan asked me to paint a portrait of a prisoner, and told me that I could leave after painting." When I finished drawing, I left, and no one stopped me. ”

"That's right......" Jin Yan nodded thoughtfully, and then her eyes widened suddenly, "Oops! If I knew that this was the case, I wouldn't have dragged you down the restaurant! ”

Qiao Qixin, who was gnawing on the fish, looked up in confusion.

"This table is expensive! I thought you were out and about because you were in a bad mood because you were brushed off, and I was thinking about taking you to eat something good. Jin Yan had no choice but to support her forehead.

Unexpectedly, it was she who was self-inflicted.

Jinyan now regrets it very much.

Qiao Qixin didn't care, when she heard that Jinyan brought herself to eat to comfort herself, she hurriedly stuffed more into her mouth.

How can you waste Sister Jinyan's heart!

In the end, Jinyan, who was bleeding profusely, walked out of the hotel crying with her wallet in her hands.

Qiao Qixin, who was still hungry for the opening, tugged her arm and pointed to the sugar gourd on the side.

Jinyan: !

"Nope! Don't go! I don't have any money! Jin Yan struggled.

Qiao Qixin let go of her arm.

Then Jinyan fell to the ground.

The two looked at each other.

“…… Why did you let me go? Jinyan sat on the ground and condemned Qiao Qixin with her eyes.

Qiao Qixin, who had no conscience, said bluntly, "Aren't you going?" I let go. ”

Jinyan: You don't have a heart.

The two looked at each other, and finally Qiao Qixin, who knew that she was at a loss, surrendered.

She went to the sugar gourd stall and bought two strings of sugar gourds, and handed one string to Jinyan.

Jin Yan took the sugar gourd and took a bite hatefully.

Not as delicious as the sweet and sour carp just now!

Qiao Qixin returned to the Fusheng Inn and lay down on the bed for a nap.

After resting almost, Qiao Qixin went to Dali Temple again to see if there was a place where she was needed, but found that Liu didn't know where she went.

"Uncle Wang, do you know where Liu Zhan is? I didn't find him. Qiao Qixin grabbed Uncle Wang, who she only knew in Dali Temple, and asked.

Uncle Wang, who was gnawing on meat skewers, thought for a while, "He seems to have gone to Luocheng, it seems that there is a bad case, and important people have to preside over it in person." ”

Qiao Qixin nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Then Uncle Wang, what should I do these days?" ”

"Huh?" Uncle Wang was stunned for a moment, "What don't you have to do?" If you're willing, you can sweep the yard or something. ”

Qiao Qixin was also stunned, "Don't you need to paint portraits of other prisoners?" ”

Uncle Wang snorted and said, "That's Liu Zhan bluffing you, why do you need every prisoner to have a portrait?" ”
