Bixuan has a fragrance of books. Chen Xi feels that she is quite similar to Xie Yuner, who also comes from a scholarly family, in this regard.

But Xie Yuner is very lucky. She was not a descendant of an official. Even if her grandfather and father were imprisoned for being punished, they did not involve the female family of the Xie family.

Bixuan's fate was much more miserable, and her family was in trouble, and even she herself was not spared.

Chen Xi didn't know who Bixuan's surname was, nor what her background was. She just felt that she had a melancholy temperament, which was her feelings about her life experience and her confusion about her future life.

As the easel was moved, the drawing paper was ready and everything was ready. Chen Xi carefully checked it and the paper was pressed from three layers of rice paper, with excellent quality and excellent Hui ink.

But the ink is easy to stain the sleeves. Yu Niang did not add fragrance to the red sleeves himself, but instead asked a maid to grind the ink for Chen Xi.

"Please find some water and blend these pigments." Chen Xi said to the maid.

The maid looked at Yu Niang with inquiring eyes. Yu Niang winked and scolded: "I'm really ignorant. Mr. Chen said, you just do what you said."

The maid was scolded and lowered her head and hurried out to prepare water. But she didn't know how to blend the paint at all. Chen Xi simply did it herself, and soon some basic colors of paint prepared were blended. Chen Xi also wanted to match the scene. The colors that she blended were necessary for portrait paintings, and the pink and green clothes on Bixuan's body were also pink.

Yu Niang didn't want to disturb her much, but she saw that Chen Xi was doing such a meticulous preparation, which was completely different from the painters she had invited before, so she couldn't help but want to see it.

On the other side, Bixuan has already stood up, tall and graceful, lowering her head slightly, losing her spirit and temperament. Chen Xi glanced at it and shook her head: "I may be slow to draw. Yu Niang, can I let Miss Bixuan sit at the window and look outside, and I will draw slowly?"

Yu Niang promised that the maid would move the chair to the window. Bixuan sat down and still seemed a little nervous. But when she looked out the window, her eyes fell to the vast Tingjiang River surface, she unconsciously showed a sad and melancholy temperament. This was exactly what Chen Xi was looking for.

When Chen Xi picked up the pen, he had to freeze the feeling of this moment on the drawing paper, but Yu Niang stared at him, making it difficult for him to write.

"Yu Niang, I wonder if I can wait next to you?" Chen Xi turned his head and asked.

Yu Niang gave Chen Xi a blank look. It seemed to be saying, "You guy is really troublesome." But she also knew that it would not affect Chen Xi's painting, so she had to stand up and go aside."

Only then did Chen Xi lift up the brush and present Bixuan's appearance and temperament on the drawing paper.

At most, ordinary painters can only draw the appearance of the characters. When painting with a brush, they can only outline the lines. They lack light and dark processing, and finally they can compare them with real people. It is not easy to be somewhat similar. However, Chen Xi's paintings are no longer simply pursuing "image", but to express the feelings and temperament of the characters. He writes a living person, not a lifeless painting.

Chen Xi painted very quickly, and in less than a stick of incense, the painting was basically completed.

At this time, Bixuan was still looking at the scenery outside the window, and her expression became much more natural, or because she climbed up to see the distance, she became broader and her inner confusion was also relieved.

"It's done." Chen Xi suddenly stood up and said.

Yu Niang, who was thinking about Chen Xi, was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help but get up and walk towards this side, saying, "Slow work and meticulous work. Is Mr. Chen so perfunctory, is it..."

Her words quickly stopped because she saw the vivid "Bixuan" on the paper.

That was the only beautiful painting she saw in her life.

The woman in the painting is exactly the same as Bixuan, with a seven-pointed side face, which is exactly the most beautiful angle to observe a woman. Her appearance is beautiful, and even the beauty's feelings are vividly displayed on the paper. Yu Niang even feels that this is carved according to the real person's model.

"Oh, this...is really rare to die."

Yu Niang obviously didn't expect Chen Xi's painter to be so amazing. She waved to Bixuan without raising her head and said, "Bixuan, come and take a look. It's so amazing."

Bixuan walked over and saw another self on the paper, as if she saw herself in a bronze mirror, and couldn't help but widen her eyes.

A beautiful jade woman sat in the window and looked into the distance. No matter the color of her skin, the color of her clothes, or the depiction of surrounding scenery, she looked at her with an incredible look and reached out to cover her cherry's mouth, and there was something crystal clear in her eyes.

"Yu Niang, is this really me?" Bixuan cried with joy.

Yu Niang sincerely exclaimed: "Isn't this you? Look at this... I don't know how to describe it. Mr. Chen's painter is indeed extraordinary. No wonder County Magistrate Ye sighed sadly after seeing the clouds and willows. His feelings cannot find the fairy aura floating outside the world in the painting."

Chen Xi looked embarrassed: "Yu Niang praised me. The following painting has been finished. Can you go back?"

"No, no hurry."

Yu Niang smiled and said, "Why should Mr. Chen leave in a hurry? I originally said that Mr. Chen must be rewarded, but I heard that Mr. Chen is the young owner of the Chamber of Commerce and the family is not short of money. Why not sit down and ask Bixuan to give you a glass of wine... Tea, as a reward, how about it?"

Chen Xi glanced at Bixuan, and thought that the woman was arrogant and could not help but shake her head: "I'm afraid I'll neglect Miss Bixuan."

A hint of blush appeared on Bixuan's face: "It should be the honor of the little woman."

As he said that, he walked inside, and said, "I will go change my clothes now..."

Yu Niang smiled so hard that she couldn't stop talking: "It's a pity that Mr. Chen is still young. If he were a few years older, he would probably be Bixuan who would recommend himself to the pillow tonight."

Bixuan walked to the screen and turned around and said softly: "Yu Niang, you are here to tease her again."

The shamefulness of his daughter's family made Chen Xi really feel that she seemed to be somewhat interested in him. But he quickly put away this idea. Xier's attitude towards Su Tong a few days ago is the best example. These people in the wild have various means to win over men.

In other words, what if she really wants to do with her?

He is only a ten-year-old child and is powerless. Even if he is a few years older, Bixuan is a woman of all ages and is not the same as him. If he devotes his feelings to him and stays together forever forever, it will only cause him to worry. It would be better to draw a clear boundary earlier and clearly distinguish them.

Yu Niang waited for the ink on the paper to dry out, took the drawing and went downstairs with the painting. Soon, the sound of a woman outside "twittering" and talking.

Although the girls here are all fair-going women when they are open to business and need to entertain people with their emotions, they are also young women after all. When they see interesting new things, they will inevitably find it fun.

When Bixuan walked out from behind the screen, she had already changed into a simple dress. This was what she was used to wearing in daily life. She came over and poured tea for Chenxi herself. Her technique was very unique. She should have learned some tea art. After brewing the tea, she would raise the tea cup and serve it in front of Chenxi: "Young Master, please taste the tea."

Chen Xi smiled faintly and took the tea to taste it. It was indeed the best fragrant tea. Although it was not a famous tea, the tea made from this method of brewing is also very fragrant.

Just as Shen Xi looked at Bixuan and made Bixuan feel at a loss, the door opened and Yu Niang walked over again. There was someone behind her, which was Xier that Chen Xi had seen before.

"Mr. Chen, Miss Xier has a ruthless request, I don't know..."

Just as Yu Niang was halfway through her words, Chen Xi waved her hand: "Yu Niang once said, I just need to draw a painting, Yu Niang can't speak without trust."

Yu Niang didn't expect Chen Xi to refuse so simply, so she was embarrassed to say it again if she had the rest.

Xier, however, wrinkled her nose slightly and shouted, "You are so rude."

Chen Xi shook his head: "I just don't paint. How can I be rude?"

Xier smiled coldly: "That day you said 'The needle behind the wasp tail is the most toxic woman'. When I didn't hear it, I was just a young man who could paint. I don't understand the world, are you afraid of not giving you a reward?"

Yu Niang blamed her with a stern face: "Xi'er, don't be rude to Mr. Chen."

Chen Xi was a little disappointed. He didn't expect that Xier not only had a sharp ear, but also held grudges. That **** was just a casual mutter, and the judgement was an objective fact.

The reason why Su Tong was beaten was largely because Xier pretended to be wronged and instigated him.

Chen Xi said seriously: "Miss Xier, this 'the 'the 'the hornet' is the most poisonous woman' has never heard of it. As for why Miss Xier insists on lying, I don't know why."

"You say it again!"

Xier was impatient. When she heard Chen Xi talking lies with her eyes open, she couldn't help it and wanted to go forward and "teach a lesson" Chen Xi. But when Yu Niang glared at her, Xier immediately became weak and quickly retreated to the back.

Yu Niang came over and said, "Young Master Chen refused to paint for Xier. That was because she was blessed and she didn't have such fate. I wouldn't force her."

Chen Xi smiled and said, "It's not impossible to let my daughter paint for Xier, it's just about salary..."

Xier's eyes lit up, and she thought that she could be like Bixuan, and she seemed to care about how much money she spent.

"How much money do you say?"

Chen Xi stretched out five fingers: "Fifty taels."

"Ah." Xier was shocked, "Fifty taels, why don't you rob it? You...you..."

As she said that, she quickly pulled Yu Niang's sleeve, which meant that Yu Niang went to "bargain".

Yu Niang asked with a smile: "Xi'er hasn't been here for a long time. She is arrogant and rarely comes out to accompany and socialize. She is not well-off. I wonder if the young master can collect less?"

Chen Xi shook his head and said, "Market price, pay for one hand, draw with the other hand, and I won't leave a single piece on the drawing paper."

Xier was angry and stared at Chen Xi as if she was going to kill someone.

But in the end, she looked at Yu Niang with a sad face and begged to look at her, meaning that she liked her very much and wanted Yu Niang to help her pay some money. However, Yu Niang shook her head firmly.

Xier gritted her teeth and said, "Fifty taels are fifty taels, but now there isn't. You...you draw it next time, I will prepare the money."

Not only did Chen Xi feel incredible, but even Yu Niang was a little surprised. Yu Niang asked, "Xi'er, where did you get fifty taels of silver?"

Xier snorted lightly, without even explaining, turned around and left.

Yu Niang shook her head helplessly and walked over to apologize: "Forgive me, Mr. Chen, Xier is always a childish temper and cannot be disciplined."

Chen Xi smiled and said, "From Yu Niang's meaning, I am also a childish temper and can't discipline me?"

Yu Niang was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Chen Xi was a real "child". She couldn't help but laugh.
