Chapter 376-379 (2/2)

A girl in yellow caht shi+fted to Li shi+nian, asking with a smile: ”We all know Xiaxoin is an expert in literature, painting and poetry, but I do not knohat Miss shi+nian is good at? They all say that Jiangnan produce many talents, I wonder if Miss shi+nian can let us see the talent of Jiangnan woetic look on her face ”Sister, sorry, I do not have any talent”

The woman in yellow did not believe her ”Little sister shi+nian is too ht moon of Tiandu, you are both talented and beautiful——how can you have no talent? Are you deliberately hiding your talent, worry that it will make us sisters feel ashamed?”

”It httalent?”

”Little sister shi+nian, you don't have to be polite with us——let us learn fro that your brother Li Muyang casually drew attracted a wisp of spring breeze and spring flowers to bloom”

Li shi+nian knew that, no matter what these people say or how pleasant their words were to the ear, they were secretly hoping to see her make a fool of herself

If she did not show thehter of a servant will be looked down upon even h Tiandu: The daughter of a servant beca and could not show any talent

Li shi+nian took out a folded paper from her sleeves, looked at the woman in yellow and said, ”There is a cart driver in my family who draws pretty well If older sister do not ether?”

Chapter 378: Winter plum blosso's head and upper body was leaning forward, like he was about to get up,But his lower body was unable to move an inch, like so Xinhai was holding a cup in one hand, and the other fir's wrist

The hall and the main hall were not far apart, if theraised their voice, it can be clearly heard by people over at this side

For the sauards quarreled loudly with each other, thecan also hear them So, most of the time, the several people in this s tea and did not speak

Li Muyang intended to keep a low profile Even if no one greeted him when he came in, he did not care toopeace and quiet by hiirl came in to serve them tea, it was enjoyable and comfortable

Unexpectedly just as he sat down, and before he had a sip of the fragrant tea, he heard that in the courtyard outside sos difficult for his Little sister Li shi+nian

At the beginning he wanted to endure, he knew he etting more and more out of line, and that sister Li shi+nian had even pulled out her dagger, Li Muyang could not sit still any within hiainst the is that humiliated and attacked his sister Li shi+nian with flames

Yes, he kneell that, at this tiun to take over his body

But he had no objection at all, it hat he wanted to do in his heart

”The ht does a cart driver has to speak?” Ning Xinhai calmly took a sip of tea, before he continued with a sed out and struck with a wooden stick thirty ti hissed He felt there was no way of controlling the destructive power of his body He knew all the reasons to not go out, he knew all the dangers, but, if someone dared to bully his little sister, then heXinhai showed no intention of releasing his grip on Li Muyang's wrist On the contrary, he wasapplying force, in order to resist the struggle of Li Muyang ”It's better if you don't go, if you go out, Miss shi+nian would becoet of criticism even more——If even a cart driver dares to be so undisciplined and disrespectful, hoould those people stand you? At that time you'll be killed”

”Besides, there is Miss at Miss shi+nian's side, will she let Miss shi+nian get hurt? Do you not believe in our Miss or do you not believe in Miss shi+nian——sit down and drink tea, it will be fine”

”Let go ofwas in no mood to hear what other people have to say, he only wanted to rush out there and protect his sister fro the other person to take the dagger to stab her, if the that Cui Yu of the Cui faine the consequences

”Don't struggle, it's no use fighting back” Ning Xinhai wore a calh

hand?”

”——” Li Muyang was calculating in his et rid of him But, then his identity may possibly be exposed———

As the two people were refusing to budge, Cui Yu had left, and Song Tao invited Li shi+nian into the building

When the dust settled and the co's wrist He thoughtfully looked at hihed, ”How loyal Miss shi+nian is not wrong about you——Drink tea”

——————-

In the hearts of everyone, there was currently ten thousand 'grassacross their hearts [TN note: Grass mud horse sounds like the word fuck yourin Still water dew Although it was not said what kind of status was required to be able to attend this gathering, but of those that were present in this gathering, which one was not froround?

Everyone knew that the few people frofamily had the reputation 'Imperial Library', and received the love from the people of the world and scholars

If the common people felt that he was biased towards the elites and royal fa people's road to fa fa of the world's principles, obviously would not do such a thing that went against public will

Moreover, the few ordinary people all possessed outstanding talent, and had a little fame in Tiandu, and were valued and accepted as an advisor for the second Prince Chu Jiang——In order words, they were hidden a the elite class, so had the opportunity to enter the s the sters in the entire West Wind Kingdo the 'masterpiece' of a cart driver?

The fact that Third young hter Li shi+nian over to participate in the scholar gathering had alreadyfa family some face, everyone stifled their dissatisfaction and did not say anythingeveryone that her cart driver draws very well, and invited everyone over to ad——

”Is this wo ladies cannot easily explode, or they would have hurled all kinds of abuse at her already

The cart driver of the daughter of a servant, what status does he have?

The status of a servant's daughter was low enough, the cart driver of a servant's daughter——What words can describe this person's status?

The wohter of an i was an expert in poetry, skilled in calligraphy and painting, and had read an abundant of books, and was given the title 'Literature lady'

But because her appearance was inferior to Cui Xiaoxin and the other three women, she had been unable to receive the beautiful title of 'Bright moon of the Imperial capital'

She was inferior to Lu Qiji, Cui Xiaoxin and the Song fa Chenxi, because these wo as the moon in the sky, and were all talented and froround Even if she was bitter about losing to such opponents, she wouldn't say any malicious words in public After all, that would only offend the families of the three women and their crazy adrapes are sour when she can't eat thehter of a servant also surpassed her, and was praised as 'the fourth bright moon' of Tiandu, it was a direct slap in the face for Chen Wenting

She had repeatedly said in a joking tone at the gatherings: 'Aren't there too s are beco moons to shi+ne on the earth?”

It was not only Chen Wenting who had this thought, the young ladies ere ignored and neglected were also displeased with Li shi+nian Chen Wenting was only one of the representative figures

”Miss shi+nian, are you joking with us?” The s aloud

If Li shi+nian was serious, this was an insult to the a cart driver to insult the that you do not need to do anything and a cart driver in your family can be compared to us?”

”Really confident Most likely that if Miss Li waves her hand, there won't be anythe earth?”

”shi+nian——” Cui Xiaoxin interrupted, she understood the 's words, and knew that in such a hierarchical place, the actions of Li shi+nian would be regarded as huirls

Li shi+nian looked at Chen Wenting, then at the unfriendly expression on the other girls' face, before she said hesitantly, ”I a is really good The 'Winter plu he drew this ive to Sister Xiaoxin——”

Cui Xiaoxin nodded, s? Li Mu can paint?”

”It is Li Mu” Li shi+nian answered

”Oh, Li Mu has this ability?” Song Tao smiled ”Then we should show some appreciation to his talent” ”

Worried that Chen Wenting and other people would be dissatisfied, Song Tao actively tried to explain, ”Li Mu indeed is the cart driver of Miss shi+nian, but also Xiaoxin's saviour——Xiaoxin, isn't he?”

”It is so” Cui Xiaoxin nodded She looked around, herwith a faint smile as she continued, ”I respect Mister Li Mu”

When Cui Xiaoxin stood up for cart driver Li Mu like that, the others did not have ive face to Cui Xiaoxin——First they had to give face to the Song faive face to Cui Xiaoxin In life, there are always all sorts of rules to be followed

While enjoying their privileges, they also had to be aware of the roup of people that are ed than they were

Cui Xiaoxin turned to Li shi+nian, saying in a coift from Li Mu, why don't you let me see it earlier?”

Li shi+nian knew that Cui Xiaoxin was deliberately easing the relationshi+p between the two sides, so she would not offend the pa ladies of Tiandu ”Sister Xiaoxin, this is not a gift froood, so I took it to give to you——We just walked into the s I didn't have ti, Li shi+nian passed the painting scroll over ”Sister Xiaoxin, you are an expert in painting, see if its good enough for everyone?”

Cui Xiaoxin sood, then it is certainly very good——”

But worried that Li shi+nian spoke too confidently about the painting and Li Mu's painting was not good enough, which would lead to Li shi+nian becoet of ridicule, she then added: ”However, Mister Li Mu is responsible for the safety of shi+nian, he must not have much time to draw and rest It is understandable if his skills are a little flawed”

Chen Wenting snorted, thein Cui Xiaoxin's words was clear–it was to shut theirscroll that Li shi+nian handed over, also did not invite others to look at it together She went straight over to the s of the s and spread out the scroll on a table

Strange things soon followed, as the scroll was slowly unfoldeded, a faint plu the roo into everyone's heart and refreshes the mind

Chapter 379: A piece of white paper!

”Do you srance of plum blosso? I noticed that there were two plu——”

”It's a fragrance e, did that cart driver add plum blossom essence to the ink——”

In the process of the scroll being unfolded, all sorts of guessing and questioning voices could be heard from time to time

Obviously, no one believed that a cart driver could draw a painting of this standard

They didn't want to believe it either

When Cui Xiaoxin had coazed at the 'Winter plu on the table in silent

Utter silence

A deathly silence

After a long while, everyone burst into laughter

”So funny, I' frohest standard——”

”Haha, good painting, the best painting, never seen before, and will never see again——”

It was no wonder that the others broke into laughter

Because on the scroll, there was nothing

No plum blossom, no snowflakes

Empty and clean, white and pure, it looked like a piece of white paper

A paper that had nothing on it can be called 'extraordinary painting skills'?

”How could this be?” Li shi+nian said, a bewildered look on her face, dashed over to touch the paper and said, ”I clearly saw a painting, how co scroll?”

”Miss shi+nian really is funny” Chen Wenting said in a , we do not have the ability to appreciate it I heard that your brother Li Muyang has entered the tenth realger a courtyard of peach blossoms to bloom——Has your cart driver also reached the tenth real, and with one stroke of his paintbrush can lances with the girls next to her, pretending to be surprised, ”The snow destroyed the city, the snow this year is more ferocious than that in previous years——Is this caused by Miss shi+nian's cart driver? If that is the case, the matter must be kept secret Otherwise, those people that are snowed in would definitely curse hi” Li shi+nian said in an embarrassed tone ”I didn'tone I'm really sorry”

Cui Xiaoxin rolled up the scroll, held Li shi+nian's hand and uttered in a co painting scroll in a hurry Since this painting is for me, then I will cherish this——but, send me the one left in your house too”

”Sister Xiaoxin, I'll send someone to your residence later” Li shi+nian looked at Cui Xiaoxin in the eye, thinking that could she be suspecting so it over, if his paintings are really good, then perhaps I should evaluate it properly” Cui Xiaoxin looked at Li shi+nian, a pensive expression in her bright and beautiful eyes

”Certainly” Li shi+nian readily agreed As long as Cui Xiaoxin illing to talk with her brother, no matter what identity her brother has at that time, he will be very happy to see her

”Miss shi+nian reallysaid with a smile

”However, since we are all sisters, it doesn'tmaster has invited you to co things unnecessarily coirl in a red dress said aloud

”I know, I really had high expectations for the cart driver——if this hed at by the entire Tiandu——” said a green-dressed girl holding a golden handwarmer

”I'etically——

Song Tao ran his finger along a puddle of water stains on the table, his brows knitted together thoughtfully

Seeing Cui Xiaoxin put the piece of white paper away, he said with a sain?”

Cui Xiaoxin cast a puzzled look at Song Tao, ”Third elder brother, it's just a blank piece of paper, what is there to see?”

”Maybe we're wrong, I need to evaluate it again” Song Tao explained

”Third elder brother, you're joking, right? Even if you want to praise a cart driver, you do not need to take your reputation as a joke——” a youngTao was a well-known scholar in Tiandu, skillful in the four arts, zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, and was an expert in painting He had great potential of beco, his reputation would be har stock

”There's no har Tao was very insistent

Cui Xiaoxin chuckled, ”Third elder brother, if you're really that interested in Li Mu, he is in the hall——Why not invite him over and tell him to draw another 'Winter pluain in front of everyone? Wouldn't that be better? That can make him famous, and prove to the world that Third elder brother is broad-minded and does not restrict talent We can also test his painting skills, put an end to everyone's suspicions and jealousy What do you think Third elder brother?”

Song Tao laughed ”Good idea Servants, please ask Miss shi+nian's cart driver Mister Li Mu to coe, but no one spoke out about rong with the introduction

Soon, disguised as cart driver, Li Muyang was brought into the s by the servants

Wax-yellow coure, and his eyes filled with blood veins; he looked like he had not had a good sleep for days

Dressed in the grey cart driver uniform of the Lu family residence, he kept his head low to avoid any eye contact Because his robe was too wide, it seeust of wind can sweep this sickly man away

The West wind pays particular attention to beauty and personal i to attract people's affection and to get proa county for ten years, made remarkable achievements and was deeply loved by the civilians However, every time there was an evaluation for promotion, his name was not on the list

Later so a promotion The City Lord bluntly said it was because he was too ugly, usted, and he was al hiood deeds for the people

Later, this Kou Zhong indeed served as a county Lord his whole life until he was old

This cart driver clearly did not irls were extremely disappointed with the cart driver who had stirred the e also felt frustrated A cart driver that she usually wouldn't lay her eyes on had unexpectedly turned the gathering to this state What a waste of tireeted her first

Then he bowed at Cui Xiaoxin and Song Tao the two acquaintances, as for the people around he gave a slight bow of his head in greeting

Song Tao looked at Li Muyang, and said with a sood at painting, and took your 'Winter plu for us to appreciate, but the painting scroll was empty when it was unfolded We all feel extremely disappointed Why don't you create another one in front of everybody, with the winter plum and snow scene in front of you as the subjects?”

Li Muyang looked at Li shi+nian, waiting for the order of his Miss

Li shi+nian nodded ”I embarrassed myself in front of everyone just now I depend on your perforhtly bit her thin lips and smiled, ”Li Mu, don't let reed, ”I won't”

”Servants, bring brush and ink” Song Tao shouted

When the servants had prepared and grinded the ink, Li Muyang rolled up his sleeves and walked up to the table

Cui Xiaoxin had all along been paying close attention to Li Muyang's ar's arm ax yellow, similar to the skin of his face and there was not a trace of scar when he unfolded his palh

There was always an inexplicable feeling that this person is the person she aiting for, but the fact very clearly told her that this person was not that person——

Li Muyang dipped the brush into the ink, and then pressed on the white paper in one heavy stroke

Everyone was initially surprised, then overjoyed

A youngster as good at painting explained to the girl next to hi is the composition The composition shows the overall view of the painter, but is also the root and bone of a painting If the bones are crooked, then what's the point of the other parts of the painting being well drawn? Of course, if the first stroke is ruined, then the painting won't be good”

”This painting is ruined, it's not pleasant to the eye” A hed ”A cart driver, after all, is a cart driver, the way he put the brush to the paper was like swinging out a horsewhip Barbaric and rough Does such a person understands the way of painting? What a disgrace”

Even Song Tao's expression was slightly stiff, a hint of regret flickering in his eyes

”Could it be that he really is just a cart driver? I a my mind on this person”

Only Li shi+nian stood behind Li Muyang, her hands balled into fists, placing all her attention on her brother as painting seriously

It looked as if she was cheering on her cart driver, and still firmly believed him even when the world did not believe that her cart driver can paint

ItMiss look at Li shi+nian with increasing contempt in their eyes She sees a cart driver as a precious person?

Only Li shi+nian knew that she was itching to go up to her idiot brother and bite him to death

”Idiot, you idiot——just draw a few strokes, why are you putting so nored the comments of the outsiders and the insults directed at hi her teeth, after leaving a heavy brush stroke in the upper left corner, he indifferently began to draw in the lower right corner

As the paper was filled with black ink, the sneer on the spectators' face, one after another, solidified into frost

It was as if the temperature in the room was colder than the outside
