"How can this be reasonable, the unscrupulous guy with a bad heart, the third sister risked her life that day, and protected him regardless of his name, hmph, I will chase him and scold him for a bloody dog."

In the back house of the Fei Mansion, Fei Xiaoyu ran to the door angrily as soon as she lifted her skirt, but was stopped by Hongying.

Fei Xiaoyu scolded with wide eyes: "Get out of the way, you still have to protect Xu Jin's negative man at this time." ”

Hongying frowned and said, "Fifth girl, do you have to make trouble until everyone in the mansion knows about it, and the whole city knows about you to be satisfied?" ”

Fei Xiaoyu gradually calmed down when she heard this, although this little pepper has a bad temper, she is not an idiot, if this matter spreads, the third sister's face will be really humiliated, and there is no need to ask for a name. But it was extremely unwilling to let her let go of Xu Jin's "negative man" like this, if Xu Jin stood in front of her at this time, she promised to pounce on it and bite a few bites.

"Damn!" Fei Xiaoyu stomped his feet stupidly and said, "No, I have to come to Xu Jin in person to ask for an explanation." ”

Fei Jixiang, who was comforting Fei Ruyi, couldn't help frowning and said, "Fifth sister, don't make any more trouble at this time." ”

Fei Xiaoyu walked to the side of the bed, looked at her sister who was lying on the bed and weeping, she was distressed and regretful, she knew that she should not instigate the third sister in the first place.

At this time, Xu Jinzheng, the "negative man", walked out of the gate of Fei Mansion with Xie Xiaowan, looking a little absent-minded, and almost stepped into the air when he went down the steps, but fortunately, the second cow behind him helped him in time, otherwise it would be too big.

"Xianggong, are you uncomfortable?" Xie Xiaowan saw that Xu Jin's spirit didn't seem to be very good, so she couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Xu Jin smiled reluctantly: "No, let's go, do you have fun today?" ”

Xie Xiaowan said sullenly: "Sister Ruyi doesn't know if she is angry with me, everyone only played for a while and she left, and then I couldn't see anyone in her room, and I said that Sister Ruyi was suddenly sick and it was inconvenient to meet guests." ”

"Probably...... It's really sick, the young lady of the big family is weak. Xu Jin said a little weakly.

Xie Xiaowan sighed and said, "Xianggong, Sister Ruyi is so pitiful, she has no father or mother, she is frail and sick, and her stepmother still forces her to marry." ”

Xu Jinjian's eyebrows couldn't help frowning and said, "It's impossible, Miss Fei San is still in the period of filial piety." ”

"Set the family affairs first, and then get married after the filial piety period, I heard...... Ruyi's sister's stepmother is very greedy. ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart: "These are all what Miss Fei San told you?" ”

Xie Xiaowan shook her head and said, "That's not it, how could Sister Ruyi tell me this, it was Xiaoyu's Yahuan watching chess and Xiaoyue chatting about it." ”

Xiao Yue next to her couldn't help but talk: "Master, it is indeed about watching chess, I heard that the stepmother of the Ruyi girl also said that the dowry for marrying the third girl should not be less than 10,000 taels, tsk, 10,000 taels, she really dared to ask for it, the prince only spent 3,000 taels of silver to buy a dowry for his wife." ”

Xu Jin's heart sank slightly, Fei Ruyi's stepmother Zhao had seen it once when he went to visit the patient last time, and he was extremely unhappy with this person in his heart, but he didn't expect that he was still such a greedy person, if Fei Ruyi's marriage was handled by her, I am afraid it would be unreliable.

Xu Jin returned to his residence in Xishi, and read the "Sacred Oracle Guangxun" absentmindedly in the study for a while, but he really couldn't see it in his head, so he opened the drawer, took out a pencil sharpened from charcoal, and spread out a piece of rice paper to outline it......

The sky was imperceptibly darkened, and Xu Jin was still unaware, engrossed in his desk painting, and the charcoal made a rustling sound on the rice paper.

At this time, Xiaoyue walked into the study with an oil lamp, and Xie Xiaowan followed lightly.

"Sir, it's time for dinner!" Xiao Yue screamed, but Xu Jin didn't react, still writing and drawing.

Xiao Yue was about to call again, Xie Xiaowan hurriedly stopped, the two of them approached the case curiously with oil lamps to take a look, Xiao Yue's eyes widened, and she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, so she didn't exclaim.

Xu Jinzheng was engrossed in painting, and did not notice the arrival of the two girls, Xie Xiaowan looked at it for a moment, motioned to Xiaoyue to put down the oil lamp, and then the two cautiously exited the study and closed the door.

Leaving the study, Yahuan Xiaoyue's face was red, and she said honestly: "Madam, the old man seems to have painted a Ruyi girl!" ”

Xie Xiaowan nodded, and Xiaoyue said angrily: "Madam, you're not angry at all? ”

Xie Xiaowan said with a smile: "I begged the minister to draw it for the three girls of the Fei family before, what is there to be angry about." ”

"Huh? Madame, you actually asked the master to paint other women...... Draw that! Xiao Yue looked at Xie Xiaowan with strange eyes.

Xie Xiaowan said suspiciously: "It's just a portrait, what is this?" ”

Xiao Yue blushed and said, "But...... The Ruyi girl painted by the old man doesn't wear clothes, that's too ...... It's so nasty! ”

Xie Xiaowan suddenly snapped, blushing and spitting: "Xiaoyue, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, Xianggong's kind of painting is called Su ...... Sketching, yes, is a sketch, which is to draw the general body shape first and then draw the clothes, so that it is not without clothes. ”

It turned out that Xu Jin only completed the head and face part and body posture of the picturesque portrait of Fei Ruyi, and the body part only had a slender outline, which looked as if he was not wearing clothes, but Fei Ruyi's pretty face was painted so realistically and expressively, so Xiaoyue thought that Xu Jin was painting a spring (palace) picture for Fei Ruyi.

After listening to Xie Xiaowan's explanation, Xiaoyue couldn't help but stick out her tongue with a red face: "Madam, the way the master sketches is too embarrassing, here...... It's also painted here! After speaking, he compared it to his chest.

"Xianggong said, sketching is realism, what is there to paint!" Xie Xiaowan said with a blushing face.

"yes, why don't I think Miss Ruyi has a ...... there? It's not that exaggerated, it's probably not as big as mine! ”

"What did the dead girl say, you have nothing left to stare at where else!" Xie Xiaowan was both ashamed and angry, and raised her hand to fight.

Xiao Yue covered her mouth and ran away with a smile, she got along for more than a month, and the two are now very familiar with each other, plus Xie Xiaowan, the main mother, really has no shelf, and the age difference between the two is not big, and they get along very well, because of this, Xiao Yue dares to joke with Xie Xiaowan, if she is still in Xingwangfu, she will not dare to do this if she is given ten guts.

The lights in Xu Jin's study were on until late at night, and this was the case for several nights in a row......

On June 30, the Xinjiang River had already receded, but the sky was raining lightly, and the raindrops were splashing on the bluestone slabs of the streets.

A long convoy drove out of Fei Fu to the south of the city, and the bells of the carriages rang out in bursts of Qingyue.

There is a bow boat moored on the wharf in the south of the city, Fei Fu's convoy stopped at the wharf, and the ladies of the house got on the boat one after another, Fei Hong and Fei Cai, and Fei Maoxian's brothers stood on the wharf and said goodbye to the Shangrao County gentry who came to see them off.

"Miss, let's go in, the man didn't come!" Yahuan entered the painting and helped her girl to say lightly.

Fei Ruyi stood on the side of the ship on the first floor, wearing a robe, his originally slender figure was even thinner, his expression was haggard, and his eyes were dim and dull.

On the dock, the Fei brothers were dealing with the classmates and gentry who saw them off, and their eyes looked at the city gate from time to time, and the person who should have come had not yet come.

Fei Maoxian glanced back at the building boat, and saw that the third sister was going up the second floor along the escalator and entering the cabin, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

At this time, a young man wearing a child's straight jacket finally appeared at the gate of the city, holding an oil-paper umbrella, still so calm and calm, but he looked tired, with two dark circles under his eyes, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Xu Jin's sloppy appearance, and hurriedly greeted him, Fei Maozhong whispered dissatisfiedly: "Ziqian, why are you only here now, the third sister has gone on the boat, I really want to scold you bastard, do you know how many tears the third sister shed that day?" The third sister can't even want her life and honor for you, and you treat her like this! ”

Xu Jin showed a look of apology in his eyes, stuffed a scroll of paintings wrapped in oiled paper into Fei Maozhong's arms, and said in a hoarse voice: "Trouble the people to give this to the three Fei girls!" After speaking, he turned around and went to Fei Hongxing in the distance.

The Fei brothers looked at each other suspiciously.

The boat left the dock and sailed along the Xinjiang River in the direction of Leadshan County, Xu Jin stood in the rain with an oil-paper umbrella, watching the boat disappear into the river, and then turned around and returned to the city.

In the room on the second floor of the building, Fei Ruyi sat in front of the window, looking at the rain-dripping river outside in a daze, and the two younger sisters sat silently aside.

"How can this be reasonable, Xu Jin didn't even come to see him off, such a ruthless person, third sister, what do you still think of him!" Fei Xiaoyu said angrily.

Fei Jixiang glanced at Fei Xiaoyu, knowing that the third sister was reading, but he still mentioned that person's name.

At this moment, the door curtain was lifted, the Fei brothers walked in, and the maids hurriedly saluted.

Fei Maoxian glanced at the third sister who was sitting by the window in a daze, and sighed secretly: "You all go out!" ”

When all the maids heard this, they all retreated, and Fei Xiaoyu said suspiciously: "Big brother and second brother, what are you doing mysteriously?" ”

Fei Maozhong handed over a scroll wrapped in oiled paper and said, "Xu Jin is here, let me bring this to you." ”

Fei Xiaoyu said angrily: "Cut, I don't want that negative man's thing, throw it away!" ”

"Open it and take a look!" Fei Jixiang took the layer of oiled paper and tore off the outer layer of oil paper and slowly unfolded the scroll.

Although Fei Xiaoyu said that she wanted to throw it away, she couldn't help but get closer to watch it at this time.

"Ahh This...... Isn't this me? Fei Xiaoyu covered her mouth and exclaimed.

The Fei brothers also took a look, and were immediately stunned by the beautiful girl in the painting, only to see that the painting on the paper was Fei Xiaoyu, delicate and cute, as if the real person was in the painting, this kind of painting has never been seen, this kind of painting is amazing!

"This ...... It's the third sister, it's so beautiful! Fei Jixiang opened the one below, and suddenly exclaimed again.

Fei Ruyi, who was sitting by the window indifferently, instantly seemed to come to life, walked quickly to Fei Jixiang's side to take a look, and suddenly the whole person was stupid.

But I saw that the girl in the painting was wearing a pleated embroidered Luo skirt, hairpin and butterfly bun, with a pretty face that should be disgusted and happy, her eyebrows were like distant mountains and daisies, her eyes were like autumn water, leaning on the railing like a fairy.

The Fei brothers were stunned, Fei Xiaoyu took his portrait and compared it with Fei Ruyi, and immediately pouted and said: "Looking at it this way, the third sister's picture is much better than mine, damn it, Xu Jin is biased!" ”

Of course, Fei Jixiang also has one, but it is obviously not as attentive as Fei Ruyi's painting, which looks like only six or seven points, and there is no background.

Fei Jixiang smiled and said: "Xu Jin painted the third sister vividly, and painted me and the fifth sister as if it was only seven or eight points, it seems that Xu Gongzi remembers the appearance of the third sister firmly." ”

Fei Ruyi's pretty face was already covered with red glow, and she held her portrait shyly and happily, even she didn't believe that she was so beautiful in the painting.

He ...... How can you even draw this place so carefully! Fei Ruyi saw the curve of his bulging chest in the painting, and couldn't help but take a sip.

Fei Maoxian exclaimed: "I didn't expect Ziqian to have such superb painting skills, and this kind of painting method has never been seen or heard of, I am afraid that I will create a genre in the future!" ”

Fei Maozhong said with a smile: "When Ziqian came to the dock just now, I was a little afraid to recognize it, my eyes were bloodshot, my eyes were black, I guess I haven't rested well in the past few days, just to give you a portrait." ”

"Hehe, he still has a little conscience, third sister, now he's happy!" Fei Xiaoyu said with a smile.

Fei Ruyi blushed and carefully rolled up the painting, and his mood at the moment was indeed as light as the wind outside.
