I am the leader of the capital

The breeze blows slowly over the tall pavilion with green tiles and vermilion eaves, the wind chimes jingling beside the window lattice, and slips away from the thin willow branches that just sprouted buds in March. Spring is warm and flowers are blooming. Everything is beautiful. Just right.

"Chichi, have you finished the painting? No wonder the Master and Madam gave you the nickname Chichi. If you want me to say that your name should be changed to Slowly, what is it called Xue Yunshang!"

A girl in a goose-yellow maid costume yelled. The girl has big watery eyes, thin eyebrows, a small mouth, and a few thin strands of hair hanging down from her ears, making her look a little mischievous.At this time, the little pink upper and lower lips were constantly opening and closing, and a clear voice poured out from between the lips, and the urging words were like a string of broken pearls, crisp and sweet.

It's just that it doesn't sound so good to the ears of another girl. Xue Chichi only felt that there were ten thousand flies buzzing around her head, and when she got behind her, she felt that the flies seemed to fly directly from her ears. Zhong got into his head and continued to "buzz".

"Ahhh... that's enough, Ning Xiaoxi, just shut up."

Wearing a long pink dress, the girl named Xue Chichi seemed to be unable to bear the nagging mouth of this little maid named Ning Xiaoxi any longer. Trembling, eyes wide open, staring at Ning Xiaoxi fiercely.

"Chichi, don't be in a hurry, even if you are in a hurry, you have to keep your voice down. If you let Madam know, she will probably scold you again. At that time, Madam will definitely say that you don't look like a girl. It is said that a woman without talent is a virtue, a woman must smile without showing her teeth, and a girl must be virtuous and gentle..."

Ning Xiaoxi couldn't stop talking, and at the same time stretched out her hand to wrench her fingers one by one, and tried her best to imitate the expression and movements of Chuxue Chichi's mother when she was scolding her.

The girl froze for a moment, put her hand on her forehead, thought about the mother who followed her to teach all day long, and then looked at the little maid who was gesticulating and chattering in front of her. After the dying struggle, he picked up the paintbrush that had just been thrown on the sandalwood table in dejection, and continued to draw slowly on the paper.

A crooked big phoenix has a large shape on the paper, but some details have not been clearly drawn, but Xue Chichi's big phoenix is ​​difficult to find its meaning even though its shape is seen, and it does not have the aura of the king of birds at all. , but it was very similar to Xue Chichi herself, like a defeated fighting cock caught in a downpour, with its scattered feathers sticking tightly to its body along with the rain.

"I can't do it, Xiaoxi, why don't you help me draw a little? Others are fine, I'm really not good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting, and female red embroidery!"

"Xiaoxi, my dear Xiaoxi, please, please take pity on me, save me, a poor beautiful girl!"

Seeing Ning Xiaoxi shrinking back and preparing to slip away, Xue Chichi made a big move directly:
"Xiaoxi, you are my personal servant girl. I promised her in the future. When I marry as a woman, you will be a dowry, and you will definitely be a servant of my uncle. Think about it, we will all be together in the future." What a relationship it is for a man to live in bed.'

As soon as Xuechi finished speaking, Ning Xiaoxi's face flushed with embarrassment, her hands were so nervous that she didn't know where to put them, and finally she grabbed a corner of her skirt as if grabbing a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said: " You... you... what did you say, how can you say such things casually, if your wife hears you, you will be punished again. "

"What are you afraid of? Isn't my mother not here? As the saying goes, what is the strongest relationship? We went to the window together, carried guns together, went whoring together, and shared the stolen goods together. This can be called the strongest four. Think about it, we studied together since we were young, and we learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting together, this is the same as going to school together, right?"

"We went hunting together last year? Do you remember? At that time, we were in the same team. I had a tiger-headed gun to make the tiger look powerful. This is considered to have carried the gun together, right? This is for the second iron."

"As for sharing the loot together, I won't talk about it. It's something we do often. It's for the three irons."

"The fourth iron has gone whoring together, although I haven't done it now, but when I get married, you will be my husband's housemaid than this iron."

Xue Chichi is like a cunning little fox, slowly seducing an innocent girl who doesn't know much about the world.

"Think about it, it's a great relationship for everyone in the world to be able to occupy one of the four irons, let alone we occupy all four irons? In this way, in terms of our relationship, it is trivial to help me draw a little picture." thing right?"

As soon as Xue Chichi finished speaking, a woman's cough came from the door of the study, making Xue Chichi tremble in fright.

"Oh, what kind of friendship, do you want to talk to me?"

With a creaking sound, the door was slowly pushed open, and a beautiful woman in her early forties stood outside the door. The woman gently lifted the golden lotus across the slightly raised threshold, and walked slowly into the study.

Xue Chichi's biological mother, who is also the head mother of the Xue family, was the princess of the Lingyuan Empire before she left the pavilion, and later married the eldest son of the Xue family, the top family in Fengge City, who is Xue Chichi's father, Xueman. Shan, when Xuemanshan ascended to the position of Patriarch, she should have become the mistress of the Xue family, one of the most honorable women in Fengge City.

Although Mrs. Xue is over forty years old, she looks like a young woman in her early thirties. Her skin is fair, she has the figure of a young woman but she has the charm of a young lady. Her facial features are small and delicate, similar to Xue Chichi. .

"I've seen Madam." Ning Xiaoxi bowed slightly to salute.

"Xiaoxi, how many times have I told you that you can just call me aunt when there are no outsiders, you don't need to be polite." Mrs. Xue said while holding Ning Xiaoxi's hand and patted it gently.

"Mother, why are you here? Just let the maids come and let you know if there's anything to do, and I'll rush over there. How dare I bother you to go there yourself."

Xue Chichi was a little embarrassing, and she didn't know how much her mother had heard of the conversation just now. Her mother often lived in the palace when she was young, and she attached great importance to women's etiquette and self-cultivation. The words he said were all asking for life in a man's bed, so it was probably another punishment.

"Hmph, if I don't come, wouldn't it be possible that I can't see you hiding here but want Xiaoxi to write for you?" Mrs. Xue frowned while letting go of Ning Xiaoxi's hand and walking towards the desk.

As soon as Xue Chichi heard her mother's words, she knew that she had only heard the last sentence, and she couldn't help but feel relieved, but when she saw her mother walking towards the big sandalwood desk, like an eagle pouncing on a lamb, she directly He lay down on the big desk, covered his paintings tightly with two big sleeves, drooped his willow eyebrows, turned his eyes upwards, and there was only one thought in his mind:
"It's over, I'm going to be trained again."

"Step aside."

Mrs. Xue glanced at the two adjacent paintings on the desk, and the corners of her mouth twitched inadvertently. In front of her eyes, two animals were displayed horizontally on expensive book paper. One was a big phoenix with its head held high, with gorgeous colors. , The strokes are smooth, the person who drew this painting has solid hands-on skills and a deep understanding of painting, endowing this big phoenix with noble bearing and making it lifelike.

No need to think about Mrs. Xue, she also knows that this is Ning Xiaoxi's work. Looking at the other animal next to it, it seems to be the same painting as Ning Xiaoxi's painting, but the thing painted is really difficult. Description, if there is not a picture of a phoenix flying on the side, the two are similar in size, Madam Xue would not recognize it as a phoenix even if she was killed.

"Hey."

Mrs. Xue became more and more uncomfortable as she watched, and she even choked speechlessly. Finally, she sighed deeply, feeling somewhat disheartened. When she thought of how she was a talented woman with a good reputation in the capital when she was young, with her beautiful With her good looks and good background, I don't know how many talented scholars are envious, and how many boudoir girls are jealous.

At that time, a group of little sisters would often get together to laugh at the young lady who was not good at working as a female worker, and couldn't understand calligraphy and painting. I can't imagine that Feng Shui has changed, and it's finally time for others to laugh at me. I don't know how many people are talking about the Xue family The yang energy of the generation is too strong, and no girl feels uncomfortable.

It’s fine if outsiders don’t know that the Xue family has a little princess, but everyone knows that the Xue family has a girl who is loved by the whole family, but they still say that the Xue family has too much yang energy and there is no girl. What kind of humiliation?

Looking at my daughter again, she has a good family background and a beautiful appearance, but this character is really unacceptable to me. Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, she is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the embroidery girl is not good at it, let alone girls He is elegant and reserved, virtuous and virtuous.

Like a young man all day long, following a group of her relatives and cousins, wandering around the world behind her cousins, always thinking of Xue Yunshang, the daughter of Fengge City's six beauties selected by Fengge City's romantic talents Also occupying one, Mrs. Xue had the urge to shed tears.

The tears she shed were not because of joy, but an unspeakable emotion, because among the six beauties of Fengge City, there was one named Water Fairy, another called Hemerocallis, and some called Baimei... and Xue Chichi was called Overlord Flower.

As the saying goes, if you think about it, Madam Xue lost the interest in continuing to teach Xue Chichi a lesson, and said coldly: "Draw it yourself, these few days the academies in Fengge City will organize The student is going to Qinglu Mountain for an outing. You must go there when the time comes. I don’t know where to find you a young man who is not afraid of you and you like. Alright, let's see for yourself about your marriage."

Mrs. Xue paused, and then said: "Go and see for yourself if you can meet a young man who is congenial to you. If someone can not dislike you and is willing to marry you, you can bring him back to me and your father." Look, as long as your family background is clean and you can live well, even if you are a beggar, your father and I will recognize each other, so let's directly settle the marriage."

Listening to her mother's unadorned ridicule, Xue Chichi's face was full of reluctance, she had a pink and tender face, but she had nothing to say, she could only lose her head, red without makeup Yan's small mouth was slightly pouted, and her face was full of displeasure, but she didn't have the shyness of an ordinary girl from a boudoir about marriage.

After a long time, the girl in pink raised her drooping head slightly, looked at Mrs. Xue pitifully, with the words "I am a poor and obedient baby" written all over her face, and whispered: "I don't want Can you not go?"

Mrs. Xue glared at her, and said bitterly: "If you were as harmless as your face, instead of all the married men in Fengge City who are scared when they hear your name, for fear of being caught by you, Even if you want to go, I won't let you go. Which parents are willing to let their daughter who is still in the boudoir go out to show her face? Isn't there no way, if you don't try, you probably won't be able to marry in your life. "

"What do you mean if you're afraid of being caught by me? I'm not a robber." Although Xue Chichi didn't dare to object loudly, she still dared to mutter in a low voice.

"Where do you think your reputation is better than robbers? Ordinary robbers are not as famous as you. Do you really not know or fake? Do you know what some people say to scare children?" Xue The madam was both angry and funny when she saw the baby girl she was pregnant with in October muttering dissatisfaction.
