A girl who is a criminal in the medical profession has a good fortune, and aristocratic families are

Everyone's jewelry fell in front of that painting.

This is not just to please Xu Xiangxiang.

Even if some people think that the other two paintings are better, they don't dare to go against Master Liu's reputation. The master's direct disciples all say that the paintings are good. If you say they are not as good as others, isn't this a self-deprecating look?

So, when Yunling followed the girls back to the hall, she saw a lot of gold and silver jewelry placed in front of her picture of winter plum blossoms. Xu Xiangxiang blinked at her again, with a proud look on his face.

Mrs. Mo smiled kindly on the side.

Xu Xiangxiang pointed to the painting full of jewelry and asked, knowingly: "Whose painting is this? The painting is really good. Although he didn't get it as a child since elementary school, he has his own character. I think this person must be smart and talented. You are so gifted, let me guess which girl it is from?"

She smiled and pointed at the county magistrate's daughter, "Miss Xue, is that you?"

Xue Zhen looked at his picture of winter plum blossoms that was submerged in a pile of paintings, his face flushed, and he said dejectedly, "No, I'm not good at painting."

Xu Xiangxiang followed her gaze and landed on the pile of paintings. He nodded and said, "Oh, your painting is also in that pile. Well, it is indeed an average painting."

She walked to others again, leaving Xue Zhen in embarrassment.

"Miss Luo, is that you?" Xu Xiangxiang asked again.

Luo Mengqiu bowed, bowed and said, "My little girl hasn't painted for a long time, and her painting skills are quite rusty now. She still needs more practice, so she can only be ranked next to the top one."

Xu Xiangxiang pointed to the old plum blossom painting, "Oh, you painted this?"

Luo Mengqiu's expression froze.

Not even second?

She just felt dizzy and her face turned a little pale, "Yes, it's another one."

Xu Xiangxiang said lightly "Oh" and said: "But there is no need to practice. I have a solid foundation in painting. I have learned it for many years at a glance. I guess you have some childlike skills."

Luo Mengqiu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Madam Hou, is this, is this a compliment to her?

Unfortunately, she was happy a little too early.

"It's just a little girl. This age is the time when you are smart and smart, but your paintings are too old-fashioned. Apart from your craftsmanship, you can't find any aura. It seems that you are not suitable for painting."

Xu Xiangxiang's next words directly hit her bottom, and she was so ashamed and angry that she was dying of shame.

Xu Xiangxiang didn't want to let her go just like that.

He said again as if he were an elder, "Miss Luo, you are still young, so you should have a broader vision. You should stare less at people and read more."

Luo Mengqiu's whole body was shaking.

She prides herself on being a scholar, and she is usually known as a talented person among ladies, but now she is being persuaded by Madam Hou to study more. This is more hurtful than saying that she is not good at painting.

She only felt that in her sixteen years of life, she had never been as embarrassed as she was today.

Tears were about to burst out, but her mother pulled her behind her so that she didn't look ugly in public.

"Thank you, madam, for your advice." The county magistrate's wife's face was dark.

Her husband-in-law is the county magistrate of Lake County. Although he is the second-in-command of the county government, in fact the county magistrate must listen to his opinions when dealing with the affairs of the county government.

Because the county magistrate of Dongrui Kingdom usually changes every three years, the longest term in one place does not exceed nine years, and the county magistrate does not need to be moved.

Therefore, the county magistrates in many places have stayed in one place their entire lives. That is to say, they are not as good as the county magistrates in name, but in fact they have greater power. In those remote corners, they are like earth emperors.

Mrs. Luo was usually someone who was flattered by others in the county. Seeing her daughter being humiliated like this made her feel really uncomfortable.

But it was Mrs. Hou who spoke, and the mother and daughter could only express their sorrow.

At this time, Xu Xiangxiang had already stood in front of Yunling and asked with a smile: "Is this painting yours?"

Yunling nodded, and the smile on Xu Xiangxiang's face could no longer be concealed, and she praised her for free: "You are a very good painter. Have you not learned much? Do you want to be my disciple?"

There was a gasp from the crowd.

The Liu family only has one direct disciple, Xu Xiangxiang. If Tang Yunling takes Madam Hou as his disciple, wouldn't she become the disciple of the Liu family?

A peasant girl who fell back into the dust, still has such an encounter?

Yunling's scalp went numb when she heard this.

She was really not interested in the art of painting. If she studied under Xu Xiangxiang and became the disciple of Mr. Liu, wouldn't she have to paint with a paintbrush every day?

Otherwise, how can we live up to the reputation of Master Liu?

This is a disgrace to the master.

Either way, she knows it.

But he couldn't refuse in public, so he had to compromise and said: "My little girl has little talent and little knowledge. Her current qualifications are not suitable for Madam's disciple. If Madam doesn't mind, let me be a registered disciple first? If you take the time to give me a few words of advice in your spare time, it is also mine." good fortune."

"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it. Registered disciples are also disciples, so it's settled. Let's do the apprenticeship ceremony another day!"

Xu Xiangxiang's face was full of joy. When he looked at Yunling, he looked proud and proud that "I have a daughter who has just grown up." This made everyone envious.

This girl from the Tang family is really lucky.

Mrs. Mo also pointed to the pile of jewelry and said to Yun Ling: "This is the bonus that the ladies gave to the leader. You have made a lot of money today."

She smiled again and opened the wooden box in Nanny Zhang's hand, and a Yingluo inlaid with pale pink tourmaline appeared in front of everyone.

"Come." Mrs. Mo smiled and waved to Yunling, and put it on her face with her own hands, "It looks good, it matches you very well."

Xu Xiangxiang also said: "My mother has such good taste, this is how a little girl should wear it."

These three people stood together, just like three generations of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law standing together. Many ladies have already understood.

It seems that I have to tell my master about this when I get home. Even if the Tang family doesn't flatter me, I can't offend him.

"Miss Tang is really both talented and beautiful."

Both masters praised it, and the ladies had no choice but to chime in and say a few words.

The goddesses looked at Tang Yunling with somewhat complicated expressions.

They understood such a clear preference.

However, they were still unconvinced.

Why? What can a painting represent?

Too much limelight is not a good thing, and Yun Ling doesn't want to make countless enemies as soon as she gets started, which will cause her trouble in the future.

Then she pointed at the pile of jewelry and said, "Yunling was a little embarrassed to get so many things at once. I can't just take them all and let all the sisters go away empty-handed. Why don't we continue to use these things as lottery prizes? Play something else?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the women became even more unhappy.

It's not enough for this man to have such a big limelight. He actually wants to continue to look for a sense of presence in front of the ladies?

Xue Zhen, in particular, asked rudely: "You are already the leader in painting today, do you still want to take the top spot in the remaining six categories?"

Where does the confidence come from?

Do you really think that these people are just for show?

Yunling smiled and shook her head, "It's true that music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and wine are elegant, but Yunling is a common person and prefers firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea."
