"Orchids grow in the deep valleys, and they will not be fragrant if they are not obeyed. A boat on the river and sea will not float if they are not taken by them. A gentleman does justice and does not stop because of ignorance."

Xie Ji was painting, looking at the Clivia growing beside a small stream in the distance. The flowers were in full bloom. Chen Xiang stood behind Xie Ji and said.

She also hopes that her husband will be a humble gentleman with a gentleman's ways, gentle and polite, talented but not arrogant, successful but not arrogant, and holding a high position but not forgetting to be humble.

Is her husband a gentleman? Yes, he adheres to the principles of a gentleman in front of her. However, she hopes that her husband's reputation can be improved and he can become a gentleman in the eyes of the world.

If Xie Ji knew what Chen Xiang was thinking, he might sigh, he couldn't do it.

After all, if an official is a gentleman and adheres to the principles of a gentleman, he will not live long unless he is an idle official who organizes documents.

Otherwise, it will basically be difficult.

Xie Ji looked at the Clivia in full bloom. His hands were busy, stroke by stroke, and he painted the Clivia vividly.

Xie Ji put down his pen and ink and looked at the painting in his hand. It looked very similar.

But they are so similar that I always feel like something is missing and it gives me a headache.

But being able to say such a thing was beyond his expectation.

"It seems like there's something missing?" Xie Ji murmured to himself, feeling that if he gave this painting to his father-in-law, he might be kicked out.

Although this painting looked similar, he would definitely not be able to see it. After all, he looked down on his half-hearted self, not to mention that he was biased against himself.

"What's missing is the spirit. The shape is similar but the spirit is different. Orchid grass is naturally aloof. When no one appreciates it, it enjoys its fragrance alone and is not disturbed by external things. It is free and calm."

"Lan? A gentleman is a gentleman. A gentleman has no disputes. He doesn't need to show himself to the world. His noble character is there. It will never change."

"Everything in the world is filthy. His pride is that he would rather die than surrender; his ambition is that he can compete with the sun and the moon; his character is that he can accept hundreds of rivers."

Chen Xiang looked at Xie Ji and said, she hopes her husband can be a gentleman praised by the world and serve the country and the people? Never lose the temperament of a gentleman at any time.

After hearing these words, Xie Ji smiled and said: "I am not a gentleman, and I am not worthy of the title of gentleman. If you want me to be a gentleman, then you will be disappointed."

He was not a gentleman to begin with, and he will never be a gentleman in the future. Let him be a gentleman, forget it!

"The husband is a gentleman, and in Xiang's eyes, the husband is a gentleman. The husband is upright and unyielding. Xiang has never seen her husband, as the world says, flatter and flatter others, and act majestic to others. Xiang only sees that her husband is upright.

, meticulous. It must be because the villain is jealous and distorts the truth. It is your husband's magnanimity not to care about the villain."

"A humble gentleman is humble enough to shepherd himself."

"If a husband does not call himself a gentleman, that is exactly the humility a gentleman should have."

"My husband strives to be anonymous, not deliberate, and not pretentious, but he is a gentleman. It is just like what I just said about a gentleman who does what is right and does not stop for unknown reasons. Therefore, my husband is the gentleman in Xiang's heart."

Xie Ji complained in his heart, he is really not a gentleman!

From now on, he will no longer be a gentleman, but a villain. Chen Xiang's expectations for himself must be too high.

He is just a traitor, a traitor despised by the world.

Could it be that a traitorous minister should be ugly with a crooked mouth and crooked face?

Couldn't he look upright? It turned out that he was used to being a prime minister, so he looked upright.

This is the prejudice of the world. Who says that traitorous officials cannot be upright?

"You are wrong. I am just a villain. I please the emperor, bully my subordinates, intimidate the people, and make the world suffer. I am not a villain. Who is a villain?"

Xie Ji said, "Gentleman, that's too flattering to him. I don't know why Chen Xiang thinks he is a gentleman."

"The husband is forced. He always lights up the lights brightly and reads at night. The name of a traitor must be framed by the villains in the government and the public. The husband is a gentleman. If you have something, you will have it. If you don't, you will have nothing. You will not tell others about this kind of character.

, how can you not be called a gentleman?"

Xie Ji:……

The original person was too lazy to pay attention to those voices, and he was a done deal and could not change his reputation. As for staying up late to read, it was because the original person was thinking about making plans instead of working for the country.

He is selfish rather than public-minded, so he can be misunderstood as a gentleman.

This is a huge injustice!

"I harm the people, form cliques for personal gain, and make people complain. Am I still a gentleman?"

Xie Ji can't let her misunderstand. It's better to explain this clearly. He is not a gentleman in the first place, so there is no need to seek fame and reputation.

"The virtue of a gentleman is not in his reputation, but in his actions. The ministers in the government and in the public sector talk too much and claim to be virtuous and serve the country and the people, but they are nothing more than talkative people. But the husband does not speak or argue for reputation.

The emphasis is on practical actions, isn’t this a gentleman?”

Chen Xiang refuted Xie Ji's point of view. She believed that those who talk openly are not gentlemen and are villains.

A gentleman should not do practical things and just show off his words. Everything he says is nonsense and has no practical effect.

Xie Ji was a little surprised that he could still say this, so he continued: "When did I do something good?"

Chen Xiang said with a smile: "My husband has made many people with no virtue and talent resign from office. What's more, my ambition is to bring peace to the world."

Then he walked up to Xie Ji's ear and said, "The world doesn't believe it, but I do."

Xie Ji was stunned, his face a little rosy.

He saw Chen Xiang's eyes full of expectation and couldn't bear to say that he was not a gentleman.

I can only accept the title of gentleman.

"Xian'er, thank you very much."

He is not a gentleman, there is no doubt about that, but he can still be a gentleman in front of her.

Xie Ji looked at Chen Xiang, his face a little red, thinking in his heart that he had never been in such close contact with a woman.

Chen Xiang saw that Xie Ji's face was a little abnormal and quickly took a step back.

I wondered if Xie Ji thought she was not serious enough to get so close to her.

She should be more careful in the future, not to get so close, and to be careful not to lose her etiquette.

Xie Ji coughed and retracted his little thoughts. Was she disgusted by his appearance? Otherwise, why would he retreat?

The two looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.

"Keep painting."

Xie Ji threw away the painting he had just drawn and took out another piece of paper to draw on to ease the embarrassment between the two.

Chen Xiang looked at Xie Ji and started drawing directly on the paper. This time he drew unusually fast.

Xie Ji painted orchids in a flamboyant way, admiring the flowers alone, showing a noble and aloof attitude.

After Xie Ji looked at it, he shook his head. This was a bit abnormal.

Chen Xiang watched Xie Ji keep drawing, and the waste paper on the ground was scattered all over the floor.

"It's done."

Xie Ji put down the pen and ink and picked up the painting. The sun set, and the orchids on the paper came to life under the rays of the setting sun.

When Chen Xiang saw it, he thought to himself, my husband is indeed a gentleman, and the orchid's aloof and arrogant demeanor has been painted out.

However, why is it a bit weird, and seems a bit arrogant.

No more restraint, only aloofness and looking down on others.

Orchid is aloof and arrogant. In fact, Xie Ji is a little arrogant and arrogant, which is why the painting looks like this.

"Come here, take this picture of Orchid in the Empty Valley and frame it."

Xie Ji looked at this orchid and was very pleased with himself. It was his original skill that was so good!

Although he is not as good at painting as the calligraphers, he is not too bad either.

This time, he put aside everything and imitated his original self-conceit, and then painted this painting.

This orchid is extremely aloof and devoid of any humility. I wonder what Chen An will think after seeing it.

But it took him a long time to paint it.

"Master, Master, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Suddenly, a crying sound came from a distance.

I saw a man wearing blue and yellow clothes running in with tears in his eyes.

When he saw Xie Ji, he suddenly sped up and rushed towards Xie Ji.

Xie Ji was frightened and took a step back. Fortunately, he stopped, knelt at Xie Ji's feet, hugged Xie Ji's feet and cried loudly.

"Get up and talk to me. We haven't seen each other for a few days. Is that okay?"

Xie Ji was angry. He had ruined the flowing water and the good atmosphere. Fortunately, he had finished painting the orchid, otherwise he wouldn't have the heart to paint.

"Master, I thought, I thought you didn't want to give up."

Liu Shui stood up slowly after listening to Xie Ji's words, but the tears in his eyes did not stop.

Chen Xiang stood aside, frowning a little, looking at Xie Ji, his eyes seemed to be asking, is this your good fortune?

Does this look decent?

So Chen Xiang coughed.

Only then did Liu Shui react. Looking at Chen Xiang with a cold expression, he felt a little surprised. How could they be together? It was so strange!

Look at a desk nearby. There are waste papers under the desk, orchids are painted on it, and the ink on the desk has not dried up.

There is an orchid in the distance, looking at the two of them, maybe the head of the family has figured it out.

Are you interested in things between men and women?

Looking at Madam, although her expression was as calm as ever, he saw a smile.

"I have met my wife. I wish that the master and my wife will grow old together and spend this life together."
