Sir, why is your painting style so normal?

Chapter 77

The north wind was blowing loudly, and snowflakes were floating in the sky.

A snowflake fell on the white paper. Chen Shouxing's hand holding the writing brush paused slightly, put the brush on the pen holder, and blew the snowflake off the paper.

He started to pack his things and was about to leave when a female voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Mr. Chen." A woman dressed as a maid said, "My master wants to write a letter. Please come with me."

Chen Shouxing put the stack of copied papers on the table into the bookcase, and said flatly, "No, I have to go home."

The woman was not angry after hearing this, she held out three fingers and said, "Three hundred coins."

Chen Shouxing suddenly raised his head, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said breathlessly, "Please turn left, go straight, and then go right."

The woman stamped her feet and said, "The young master is going to take the imperial examination next year. Sir, as a favor to He Xiang, you can come with me and write a letter, so that I can have an explanation with the master."

Chen Shouxing: "..."

I mean, why didn't Mrs. Qi find an actor? What would she do with a rough guy like him who didn't know the slightest bit of elegance and was "dirty"? It turned out that she was afraid that getting too close to the actor would spread rumors and influence Young Master Qi.

Writing letters for others, Chen Shouxing has been to many houses in the county to write letters for illiterate wives, Mrs. Qi is one of them.

Mrs. Qi can understand some words, but cannot write, which is a characteristic of many ladies in the house.

Speaking of Mrs. Qi, she is also a strange person. She lost her husband in the early years, blocked all the people with malicious intentions by herself, propped up the huge Qi mansion, and brought up her son. surface.

And he happened to have a handsome face, which didn't catch her eye. She wasn't the only one who was attracted by his appearance. But in the past, almost all the people she met were brainless, and a very small number of smart ones were also attracted by it. Being distracted by his pretentiously rude and rustic behavior, it is a pity to sigh that such a good face, why give it to such a rough person, bad luck!

Mrs. Qi is not easy to deal with, he pretends to be rude, even if he picks his nose in front of her, although this person also dislikes him, he still doesn't give up on him, and directly throws money at him to make him not speak, don't do anything, just write quietly .

If there is no daughter-in-law, he would be willing to earn this money, after all, it is just to be watched and not to lose a piece of meat.

But when he refused, Mrs. Qi didn't care, she didn't force others, she just used the excuse of writing letters from time to time to invite him over (look at his face).

Miss He Xiang talked about this.

Chen Shouxing couldn't refuse, it was too offensive, so he left the wooden tables and stools of the stall, and walked with her to the Qi Mansion.

Mrs. Qi was only in her early thirties, and when she saw that the big maid had invited people over, she had a smile on her face, but she was just a little hobby, she was tired of seeing the people around her, and now the theater troupe couldn't invite them often, Otherwise, those old things in the clan would have to make irresponsible remarks again.

Chen Shouxing moved his mouth and was about to speak.

Mrs. Qi said immediately, "No, no, no, no. As soon as Mr. spoke, his temperament changed and his appearance lost three points."

Chen Shouxing: "..."

Mrs. Qi held her face with her right hand and said, "Sir, please sit down."

Chen Shouxing lowered his head and said, "Mrs. Qi, I... I'm here to write a letter." I'm not here to betray my superficial appearance.

Mrs. Qi's hand holding the pastry paused for a moment, and the smart man immediately understood what he meant. She raised her eyes and glanced at He Xiang.

Hexiang immediately knew what she meant and went out to call for the Four Treasures of the Study.

Mrs. Qi said casually, "Write to my son, as usual, Mr. will watch and write."

After saying that, she stared at his face while eating the pastry.

Chen Shouxing nodded, raised his sleeves to rub the ink, and then picked up the pen to start writing the letter.

Mrs. Qi took a sip of her tea, her gaze swept over his profile, which was sharp like a knife, with a high nose and thin lips.

Sure enough, when this man is quiet, he is a very handsome gentleman, especially when he is grinding ink and writing with a bookish spirit on his body, he is the most amazing!
Chen Shouxing put down the last touch, put down the brush, opened his lips and read to her, "Mrs. Qi, if there is nothing to change, I have to go back and wash my son's diapers."

Mrs. Qi's ears tingled slightly as she listened to the magnetic and pleasant voice. Just as she was drifting away, she was hit by the words "wash diapers" and instantly lost her interest.

Why did this person have such a long mouth, and he was just saying disappointing things? She shook her head and didn't want to keep anyone anymore. She waved her hands and said, "He Xiang, go and see off Mr."

As soon as Chen Shouxing stepped out of the room, he ran into someone within a few steps.

He Xiang stopped, leaned over slightly and saluted, "Young Master."

Chen Shouxing had come back to the Qi Mansion so many times, and this was the first time he had seen Qi Ziyang, the young master of the Qi Mansion.

Qi Ziyang was only twelve or thirteen years old. He was wearing a scholar's robe and his childish look remained on his face. He glanced at him briefly, nodded to He Xiang, and left with the boy.

……

Chen Shouxing didn't take this look seriously until ten days later, a boy appeared in front of his letter writing booth and invited him to a private room in Ruyi Building.

Chen Shouxing had just stepped into the private room, and he hadn't even had a sip of tea yet.

The boy on the opposite side looked proud, threw a tael of silver at him directly, and said, "Take this silver and get out, and you are not allowed to see my mother again!"

Chen Shouxing: "..."

This money-loving temperament is worthy of being a mother and son, but the money is less than Mrs. Qi's.

That's right!The person who smashed the money was Mrs. Qi's only son, Qi Ziyang.

Qi Ziyang had known before that his mother always asked a gentleman named Chen to write letters. He had the impression that the letter writer was an old man with a beard, so he was naturally not at ease.

Damn it!Who told me how come this man has such a face?

Young Master Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Why? Too little!"

Chen Shouxing: "..."

Compared to his mother who smashed the theater troupe at every turn, tens of hundreds of taels of silver, it seems a bit, no!It was much less, but his mother gave him a few taels of silver a month!
Qi Ziyang pretended to say, "My young master told you, you are worth such a price!"

Chen Shouxing coughed and said, "Master Qi, I think you misunderstood."

Qi Ziyang had done this a lot, and felt that this person was just like the people before him, unwilling to give up his mother's money tree. He glared and said harshly, "What a misunderstanding. I advise you not to toast and eat as a penalty, otherwise I’m going to find someone to blow up your stall so that you can’t stay in the county town any longer!”

The corner of Chen Shouxing's mouth twitched, he raised his forehead and said, "You really misunderstood, I really have nothing to do with your mother..."

When Qi Ziyang heard that this man still mentioned his mother, his whole body exploded, "Of course my mother has nothing to do with you, she just likes to look at people's faces a little bit, don't try to get close to me because of your good looks Mother, play her crooked idea!"

Chen Shouxing: "..."

Why is this child so stubborn and doesn't listen to anyone else's words?

Chen Shouxing was silent and said, "I have a daughter-in-law and a son, and I plan to send my son to school next year. I won't think of provoking... My wife is also very kind to me for doing such stupid things. I owe my literacy to her, so it's really Master Qi, you misunderstood!"
