This is exactly what I want.

Picking up the pen he had thrown aside, he looked at the woman painted by Shen Qiuhe who had not painted her face yet, turned his hand slightly, and then clicked a few strokes.

Looking at the finished painting, Qiao Gu nodded with satisfaction, picked up the ink and blew on it, "Send it to our Lord Shen."

He changed hands and gave it to the rosary.

Rosary and Nianxiang looked at each other at the same time, but neither of them said anything. Instead, they shook their heads, chuckled, and walked out.

Shen Qiuhe had just changed out of his long gown, and the person below said that the rosary girl had come to deliver something.

Ask Wang Si to bring it in and take a look. Isn’t this the paper kite that he just finished painting?

If you look closely, you will see that the faceless woman now has facial features, and she looks like Mrs. Zheng.

Shen Qiuhe threw the kite on the ground and stepped on it a few times, then waved his hand for Wang Si to take it down and burn it quickly, "I knew that woman was full of bad intentions."

If outsiders saw this, what would they think of the Duke's Mansion?

Even though he was complaining and waiting for Wang Si to come back, Shen Qiuhe still asked someone to bring him a new paper kite.

The paper kite that ruined Qiao's heart should always be painted and returned to others.

Wang Si was waiting beside him, seeing how seriously Shen Qiuhe painted and how slow he was when he started writing. Wang Si was thinking that maybe Shen Qiuhe wasn't so serious when he took the scientific examination.

"Master, we still have official duties." Seeing the sun getting higher and higher, Wang Si couldn't help but remind him.

These fun things in the boudoir are not as important as official matters.

"Shut up, I know what I know." Shen Qiuhe replied impatiently, but the pen that landed on the kite was still steady and there was nothing wrong.

Wang Si shook his head helplessly beside him. If the master was not in a hurry, he could only wait.

I even hope that if something urgent happens in the East Palace, Shen Qiuhe can go to the East Palace to do something.

It's just that Wang Si's wish was not realized. When Shen Qiuhe finished the painting, there was no news from the East Palace.

Shen Qiuhe stretched out his arms and looked at the lifelike parrot above. He nodded with satisfaction and then asked Wang Si to hang the kite out to dry the ink.

I looked up and saw that the sun had already passed over from the south. It was already past noon. "Why didn't you remind me when it was time for lunch?"

Then he complained.

It's rare that Qiao Guxin didn't go out, so it happened to be lunch time with Qiao Guxin.

"It was a small mistake." Wang Si didn't even think about it, he just admitted his mistake.

Right or left, even if you admit your mistake, you won't lose a piece of meat. If you argue with Shen Qiuhe, you will probably be scolded.

Qiao Guxin took a short break at noon, and then went to his small warehouse. Looking at the dowry in the room, he always felt full of security.

At least, I don’t have to worry about food and clothing.

Because the gift list was too long, it was almost dusk after Qiao Guxin checked the gift list again.

When I came out of the small warehouse, I didn't see the noon relief, I just felt the cool breeze. If Nianxiang hadn't had the foresight to take Qiao Guxin's cloak when he came out, if it was blown by the wind now, I would probably have to fight it anyway. A bunch of sneezes.

"Why don't you know that your master loves money so much?" On the way back, Rosary joked with a smile.

A child from an aristocratic family will always make people laugh if he loves money so much.

Qiao Guxin smiled and shook his head, "Everyone is a cannibal. There is nothing free in this world. Money is naturally indispensable."

It is said that those who do not care about money have nothing to worry about. If they are hungry, who has the energy to worry about the country and the people?

If he says he doesn't value money, then someone will help him value it.

Hearing what Qiao Guxin said, Rosary glanced sideways and said, "Master, you can't say this."

Wouldn't it mean that all the imperial officials in the capital were being mocked?

Especially civil servants, most of them look down on such vulgar things. Even Qiao Wenqing certainly doesn't take money too seriously.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Guxin's eyes narrowed with laughter, "So, I was wrong."

The three masters and servants chatted while walking.

"Brother and sister." Unexpectedly, someone next to me suddenly shouted.

Qiao Guxin looked back and saw that it was Mrs. Zheng. She was now wearing servant's clothes and holding a long broom in her hand. She saw that there was a lot of dirt piled next to her. It looked like she was really there.

Do work.

Mrs. Zheng felt uncomfortable being looked at by Qiao Guxin, so she lowered her head and tugged on her clothes, "Chongyuan, Chongyuan is not in the house. I usually do nothing. The people below said there is no one to serve here, so I came over to do something.

Live to the best of your ability.”

After hearing what Zheng said, Nianxiang whispered a few words into Qiao Guxin's ear.

The small courtyard behind Zheng's family is where the two maids are placed. They were given by Liang Di. Everyone in their hearts felt that these two were going to be aunts in the future. But they haven't entered the house yet.

It was too early to arrange the waiters.

It was clear who would clean the courtyard of the Duke's mansion. This courtyard was not taken care of, but it was true. Mrs. Zheng had never been deceived.

Seeing that Qiao Guxin was silent, Ms. Zheng became more and more uneasy. Her hand holding the broom tightened, "I, did I do something wrong again?"

After saying that, he quickly added, "I also see that there are no guests at home. Don't worry, my brothers and sisters, I will definitely not dress up like this when someone comes to the house."

He would never embarrass the Duke's government, nor would he sincerely let outsiders look like he was targeting his sister-in-law.

Qiao Guxin looked away, "Sister-in-law misunderstood. My sister-in-law dressed like this really shocked me. It's just that she is free to wear what she wears. How can I say anything?"

Then he blessed his body and said, "Sister-in-law, let's get busy first."

Then he led his people back.

Nianxiang walked out for a few steps, then looked back and said, "Master."

Qiao Guxin shook her head gently, "Let her go."

She gets on the pole and makes a fool of herself, what do others care about her?

Qiao Guxin returned to his own courtyard, just like a normal person, eating and drinking as he should.

The next day, Qiao Guxin went outside again, just walking around aimlessly.

When she came back, Qiao Guxin happened to run into Mrs. Zheng again. She was not cleaning the yard today. There was a kitchen maid in the main room who was not feeling well and took leave, so she came to take her place.

I was about to go back to wash my face at noon when I bumped into Qiao Guxin.

"Girl, is this really Mrs. Dafang?" Nianxiang looked back frequently in disbelief.

Look at Mrs. Zheng's face, which is covered in ash, and her clothes are stained a lot. You can tell at a glance that she is indeed working in the kitchen.

Now she regards herself as a mobile girl in the Duke's mansion, working wherever there is need.

"After committing such a big crime, it's natural that you have to spend a lot of money if you want to turn around." Qiao Guxin said nonchalantly.

No one punished her, she had to do it herself.

This person just came in, and the person below sent a message to Rosary. When he opened the message, Rosary's face suddenly changed, "Master, you see, this person is indeed harboring evil intentions!"

Yesterday, the man was tough and didn't ask anything. Today, he tried every means to pry open the other person's mouth.

Qiao Guxin glanced at it with a smile on her face, "Wouldn't this make it more interesting?"

"But Master." Rosary was about to say something else, but was interrupted by Qiao Guxin, "You should be busy these two days."

After finishing speaking, he waved to Nianxiang and whispered a few instructions.

Once the stage is set up, one party starts singing and another party takes the stage. This is the most lively scene.

After Qiao Guxin returned to the house, she first removed the red cloth covering the gods and Buddhas. She actually invited the gods and Buddhas to drive Shen Qiuhe out. She was not sincere at the time, but now she is really sincere. Pray to God and everything will come true.

If it really happened, she would be willing to fast and chant Buddha's name for a year.

After three bows and nine prostrations, Qiao Guxin silently recited the Buddha's name several times before getting up.

He opened his eyes and was about to go back and drink some tea, but he didn't expect Shen Qiuhe to be sitting on the chair behind him, which made Qiao Gu's heart tremble.

"I thought you invited the gods and Buddhas to see me, but I didn't expect you to be so pious." Shen Qiuhe couldn't help but sigh. When Qiao Guxin kowtowed just now, it was so real that his knees As soon as it touched the ground, it felt like the ground shook a few times.

Qiao Guxin lowered his head and patted the soil on his body. When he knelt down devoutly, he definitely couldn't put a thick futon underneath, but it was really painful. After patting, he moved to a chair aside and sat down, "Shen Sir, have you been very busy lately?"

Why does it feel like Shen Qiuhe appears out of nowhere?

Shen Qiuhe held the tea cup and gently plucked the tea leaves on it, "I haven't heard the county master call me that for a long time. I thought the county master was a reformed person."

"That really disappoints Mr. Shen." Qiao Gu replied with a smile.

Shen Qiuhe pursed his lips and chuckled, "Okay, don't be angry, I've already drawn the kite."

After finishing speaking, he immediately stood up and said, "I came back later today because I had a discussion with His Highness the Prince. When I am free at the end of the month, I will take two days off and take you out. You don't know that there is a Prince Edward in the western suburbs. Your Highness’s private courtyard is a perfect place for flying kites.”

Shen Qiuhe is in charge of Dali Temple. It doesn't mean that he will definitely be free when he is sleeping. If there is something urgent, he will still be busy, so he needs to make arrangements in advance.

The garden of the East Palace is naturally hidden and safe, so there is no need to think too much about other things.

Qiao Guxin originally lowered her head and rubbed her knees. After hearing these words, she suddenly raised her head and said twice, "Master Shen is worthy of being a close minister of the Crown Prince."

Even His Royal Highness the Prince of the Private Garden is willing to lend it. I am afraid that not many of the Prince's brothers or princes in the court can have such a great reputation.

"Donggong has always been generous." Shen Qiuhe hugged his fists toward the east.

Qiao Guxin then looked away again, but ignored the remark. She tried to stop the pain in her legs and stepped on the ground a few times, "It's not that I've finished drawing the kite surface. Let me take a look now. If the drawing doesn't look like it, just It can be said that Mr. Shen is not sincere."

After hearing what Qiao Guxin said, Shen Qiuhe immediately asked the subordinates to bring in the kite that had been dried.

When I was waiting for the kite to be delivered to Qiao Guxin, just looking at this painting, it was better than Qiao Guxin. Every stroke of the painting was done carefully and with charm.

Especially the parrot's eyes, which seem to have thousands of thoughts in them.

Even at that moment of meeting, Qiao Guxin thought of the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind.

The painting is static, but to the human eye it is moving. I have to say that Shen Qiuhe can still be considered a master.
