Chapter 32
The sunlight was not so strong in the afternoon, and Jiang Yiyue came to learn painting from Chen Qingqing as promised.
Chen Qingqing told Jiang Yiyue about the types of brushes yesterday. Today she has prepared more than a dozen kinds of pigments, all of which ordinary ladies cannot afford.
"Brother Zhongchang is so nice to his sister-in-law." Jiang Yiyue said with some quips, "These pigments alone are enough for ordinary people to eat and wear for the rest of their lives."
Chen Qingqing was stunned for a moment. Realizing that Jiang Yiyue had misunderstood, she smiled and looked at Yuchan.
Yuchan explained to the master: "The Marquis does value his wife, but these are all the wife's dowry."
Jiang Yiyue blushed awkwardly and hurriedly apologized to Chen Qingqing.
Chen Qingqing didn't take it seriously and began to teach Jiang Yiyue the names of various pigments. As she was teaching, Chen Qingqing suddenly realized that Jiang Yiyue was distracted, but she was still distracted at her.
Chen Qingqing couldn't help but touch her face. Could it be that the paint was stained with her face?
Her actions made Jiang Yiyue come back to her senses. Jiang Yiyue laughed and then said sincerely: "Sister-in-law is so beautiful. No wonder she can make Brother Zhongchang fall in love. Sister-in-law may not know that in recent years, the old lady has arranged many beauties for Brother Zhongchang, including fat and thin, but Brother Zhongchang didn't like any of them."
Chen Qingqing lowered her eyes and pretended to be ashamed, but she felt strange in her heart. Outsiders say that Li Zhi was very self-disciplined, but because of Li Zhi's offense to her, Chen Qingqing did not believe it. However, when Chen Qingqing married into the Marquis's Mansion, she found that Li Zhi did not even have a maid next to him. With Li Zhi's wealth and power, this is really surprising.
Chen Qingqing doesn't care whether Li Zhi has a concubine, but if Li Zhi can keep it up, or only take two or three concubines, then her mistress can save a lot of worries. Her father and two uncles have no concubines, but when Chen Qingqing was with her sisters, she heard about many open and secret struggles between wives and concubines.
"Don't mention him, do you remember the difference between the two colors just now?" Chen Qingqing asked seriously.
Jiang Yiyue smiled, looking like a well-behaved student.
Next, Jiang Yiyue did not mention Li Zhi again.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhi returned very early today. Before he could tell the maid in the yard, he suddenly picked up a curtain and scared the two girls.
At that time, Jiang Yiyue was grinding her cuffs, revealing her half-white wrist. When she saw Li Zhi, she quickly put down her sleeve.
Li Zhi did not notice her little movements, and the phoenix eyes were the first to turn to Chen Qingqing and joked: "It seems that the wife is addicted to being a female husband."
Chen Qingqing picked up the pigment that Jiang Yiyue had just ground and checked it, and replied casually: "I have to do my best to thank my sister Yiyue, so I will do my best."
Li Zhi smiled, walked to the two daughters and asked what they were doing.
Jiang Yiyue answered and then said goodbye: "Brother Zhongchang will talk to his sister-in-law, I'll leave first."
Li Zhi nodded.
Chen Qingqing didn't want to be alone with Li Zhi, so she had a sudden inspiration. She smiled and said to Li Zhi, "I heard that the Marquis can also paint? Why not let me and Sister Yiyue taste it?"
Jiang Yiyue stopped in surprise.
Li Zhi said humbly: "My ability is different from Zhongjing. It's okay if your sister-in-law sees it, but it's better not to be fooled by Yiyue's eyes."
Chen Qingqing curled her lips secretly. If Li Zhi's painting skills are so poor, she wouldn't want to be dirty.
Jiang Yiyue only heard a strong distinction between far and near from Li Zhi's words, which was close to Chen Qingqing and far to her.
The family scandals are not exposed. Li Zhi regards Chen Qingqing, who has been married to the family for a short time, but treats her, whom she has known for many years, as an outsider.
My heart was sad, and Jiang Yiyue said goodbye with tactfulness.
Chen Qingqing wanted to go and see her off, but Li Zhi held her hand and smiled and said, "Yiyue is her family, so you don't have to be polite."
If he doesn't give it, he won't give it. What does he do if he is frivolous?
Chen Qingqing stared at her eyes and struggled out, but Li Zhi didn't let go.
When Jiang Yiyue looked back before leaving the door, she saw the couple's flirting and loving scene.
She immediately withdrew her gaze.
It was the moment her figure disappeared that Li Zhi finally let go of Chen Qingqing.
Chen Qingqing first walked around the desk, then asked with a tense face: "Why did you come back so early today?"
Li Zhi glanced at the paint on the table and smiled and said, "If you want to see me paint, I will go back earlier."
Chen Qingqing hummed, and was about to instruct the maids to prepare the drawing paper, but she saw that she and Li Zhi were left in the study, and she didn't know when Yuchan and Yudie left.
Chen Qingqing:...
Li Zhi laid out the drawing paper himself, picked a few boxes of paint, and the things were ready. Li Zhi asked his little wife seriously: "How about you painting?"
Chen Qingqing was teasing him and frowned and said, "If you don't want to draw, just forget it." She didn't have to look at it.
Li Zhi had no choice but to say: "I am only good at characters. I know you don't want to see me, so you can sit by the window and just act like I don't exist."
This is quite sincere, and Chen Qingqing wanted to know Li Zhi's weight, so she hesitated for a moment and then sat down by the window. After sitting down, Chen Qingqing asked him out the window: "How long will it take to draw?"
Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "About two quarters of an hour."
Chen Qingqing can accept it for two quarters of an hour.
Next, the couple painted one by one and the other was painted, and the study was quiet.
The golden sunset shone in, Chen Qingqing was a little dazzling and asked Li Zhi: "Can I move to the side?"
Li Zhi said without raising his head, "Yes."
Chen Qingqing moved down and before she sat down again, she looked at Li Zhi. Seeing the man holding his pen and lowering his eyes, he looked focused, and he had a bit of a literary attitude. She rarely saw him a little like him.
I sat for a while and it was two quarters of an hour.
Li Zhi finally stopped writing and looked at Chen Qingqing and said, "Okay, for the sake of his husband's skills, I hope his wife will not be disgusted."
Chen Qingqing ignored his slickness and walked over curiously.
Li Zhi left his seat and gave the chair to her.
Chen Qingqing didn't need it, stand by and bow her head.
There was a painting paper on the table, and above it, there was a red-haired fox licking his claws!
So, Li Zhi spent two quarters of an hour drawing a fox on her?
The anger of being teased instantly swept across Chen Qingqing. She grabbed the painting paper and kneaded it, and smashed it hard at Li Zhi!
Li Zhi caught the paper ball, then quickly reached out and grabbed the little wife who was about to pass by.
Chen Qingqing was angry and was caught with her right hand. She raised her left hand and tried to snatch Li Zhi's hand.
Li Zhi grabbed her into his arms first.
The man had a strong arms and was so sleepy that Chen Qingqing could not move. Just as Shen Qingqing was about to scold him, Li Zhi suddenly lowered his head and murmured in her ear: "Miss Seven, in my heart, you are a beautiful and cunning little fox, and that painting is not a tease."
When he spoke, he brought out a warm breath, and the "little fox" also brought indescribable doting.
Chen Qingqing was lost for a moment, and her heart was filled with strange throbbing.
Li Zhi couldn't see her face, and there was no need to look at it, and continued: "Now you should know that I am a cold-blooded person. At that time, you were the niece of the queen, and I was the brother of the imperial concubine, and the emperor was in charge. How could I give up the thief who was close to me for the queen's niece? So I will never save you when I see you, and it is also necessary for you to hate me."
Chen Qingqing gritted her teeth.
He finally took the initiative to mention his first encounter in Koizumi Temple, but he just explained his behavior and had no intention of remorse.
"Since that's the case, why do you still expect me to be a loving couple with you?" Chen Qingqing asked sarcastically.
