Chapter 67: My Heart Was Cruelly Kneaded: Am I Poisoned?
"Brothers, please look at the tiger's eyes. This look is simply... I shuddered. It is really a kingly posture, and the heroic spirit is unbearable!"
...
Most of the male guests are descendants of famous families and are good at painting. In addition, Xu Bai is a well-known painting master in this dynasty, and he has been missing for twenty years. In the past twenty years, there are very few original works of Xu Bai that are popular on the market. A picture of Xu Bai's tiger is hard to find, and there is no market for price.
Now they are watching a pretty little woman with their own eyes and drawing a "Tiger Roaring Mountain" in front of them, which is exactly the same as Xu Bai's original works. How can they not be excited?
Influenced by his mother, Zhao Lie also liked Xu Bai's paintings very much. He took his eyes away from the paintings and looked directly at Xia Qingyao, who was standing behind Princess Chen, dressed in an elegant manner and had a bright appearance.
Tsk, this person is the first female magistrate in this dynasty.
Zhao Lie put away his joking expression and bowed and said politely: "Person Xia Yuan, how did you learn Xu Bai's paintings to the point of being fake? As far as I know, Xia Yuan's teachings grew up in the Qingzhou Quarry, so there should be no conditions to get a priceless original work of Xu Bai to copy, right?
Zhao Lie asked everyone's questions.
Mrs. Chen also turned around and walked towards Xia Qingyao and asked anxiously: "Sadminister of the Xia Yuan?"
Xia Qingyao looked at Cheng inquiringly.
Seeing that Xia Qingyao was still so respectful to her at this time, Cheng felt more and more satisfied with her and nodded kindly.
Xia Qingyao then walked up to the front of the people and smiled slightly: "I grew up in the exile place of the quarry. I really can't afford to copy Xu Bai's original works. Besides, I have spent a lot of time learning medical skills. In addition, I don't have much time to copy except for workmanship."
This is true, but the people present gathered their eyes on Su Yurou.
Xia Qingyao couldn't afford Xu Bai's original works and had no time to copy them. However, Su Yurou, as the daughter of Zhenyuan Hou Mansion, could afford Xu Bai's original works and had no time to copy them.
Su Yurou was discomfortably seen, and her expression under the veil was distorted.
Zhao Lie asked: "Then how did you learn it?"
Xia Qingyao smiled and said, "Because my painting was taught by Mr. Xu Bai himself."
"What? Impossible!" Su Zhang shouted.
Su Yurou also said: "Mr. Xu Bai has been missing for twenty years..."
Xia Qingyao smiled, as if immersed in beautiful memories.
"When I was about four or five years old, I met an old man working in a quarry. He said that I looked clever and he was a good seedling who could learn to paint, and he insisted on teaching me to paint.
"I was already studying medicine at that time, and I still had endless work during the day. How could I learn how to paint? I didn't agree. He even pretended to cry and said that his painting was going to be lost.
"He just found an opportunity to cheat and taught me how to draw, and asked me to use the candy he had hidden secretly as a slap. Looking back now, I think he actually wanted to cheat me on eating candy."
Everyone:...
"I think it makes sense. He may really want to cheat on you." Zhao Lie blinked.
Mrs. Chen's eyes were a little distracted: "This... how could Mr. Xu be exiled in the Qingzhou Quarry?"
Xia Qingyao shook his head: "I don't know why he was guilty, and I have never known who he is. He forced me to learn. I don't like studying very much, so he cheated out a lot of sugar.
"But two years ago, the old man told me that his name was Xu Bai before he died, saying that his paintings were worth a lot of money outside and many people liked them, but I didn't believe them at the time."
Xia Qingyao looked at Su Yurou and Su Zhang, then looked at Mrs. Chen again, and said with a smile: "Now I believe Mr. Xu's words. Many people really like his paintings."
Xia Qingyao's eyes seemed to have starry sky falling into the sky, bright and gentle. When she lowered her eyes, it seemed as if a crystal flashed by, but she did not shed tears.
On the other side of the flower wall, Murong Zheng held his hands in his sleeves tightly, his long eyebrows frowned slightly, and a lot of emotions flashed in his phoenix eyes.
This was the first time he heard Xia Qingyao talk about the days when he was exiled in a quarry when he was a child.
Didn't that time be hard?
A child who works as a coolie in a place of exile, her candies are also very precious, right?
But now she recalled the time when she was "scaught" from candy, her eyes were filled with tenderness and nostalgia.
A child who grew up in suffering has not completely wiped out his mind by suffering, but has retained a pure land, treasured memories that may not be considered good for others.
Murong Zheng felt that his heart was rubbed hard, and a sour feeling suddenly came, making him pursed his lips and secretly wondered: Could it be that I was poisonous?
Mrs. Chen sighed faintly at this moment, and the female overlord-like figure had tears in her eyes at this moment.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Xu Bai had already gone there. I didn't expect that the twenty years he disappeared were exiled in Qingzhou Quarry..."
"Yes, Mr. Xu Bai is also too honest. Whenever he finds an opportunity to send a message, I believe there will be many people who are willing to do their best to help him leave the quarry." Zhao Lie also sighed.
Murong Zheng said, "Maybe, Mr. Xu Bai is tired of the sought after in the world and wants to live a simple life? Looking at the tiger drawn by Mr. Xu Bai, you can tell that his free and easy mind is definitely a yearning for a free and easy life."
Zhao Lie nodded and patted Murong Zheng on the shoulder: "You are right. It is also possible that Mr. Xu Bai has found the successor and may not necessarily be reluctant to leave the quarry."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on Xia Qingyao.
Xia Qingyao smiled and said, "I am not considered the successor. I have been learning painting for so many years and I have been fishing for three days and two days drying the net. I don't even know that the dirty old man who cheated candy was Mr. Xu Bai. Even before he died, he told me that he was Xu Bai. I have never known Mr. Xu Bai's status in the painting world. I don't know anything like this, so what kind of successor is?"
"The Xia Yuan judge not only has a skillful skill in rejuvenating his youth, but also has such a weak mind. Do you know what have you denied?" Zhao Lie asked bluntly.
"If you are the descendant of Xu Bai, your paintings are passed down from generation to generation, your reputation as a talented woman is endlessly sought after, and your use of gold and silver will be yours."
"I'm just a doctor." Xia Qingyao smiled faintly and retreated behind Princess Chen.
Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Xia Qingyao. Mrs. Chen's eyes were filled with appreciation.
"Some people are eager to show off their skills after learning the superficial knowledge, while others are indifferent to fame and fortune and act low-key, but are forced to show their true skills," Mrs. Chen sneered and looked at Su Yurou, "What happened today really disappointed Miss Su."
Su Yurou raised her eyes in shock, met Mrs. Chen's contemptuous gaze, and took a step back.
She never thought that Mrs. Chen would suddenly target her with a clear sword! They had no grudges, why did Mrs. Chen treat her like this?
Su Yurou looked at Su Zhang with tears in her eyes and asked for help: "Mother..."
Unexpectedly, at this moment, even God was facing Su Yurou. A strong wind blew, and the dark clouds in the sky rolled over, as if a heavy rain was coming.
