Standing behind Xia Jiu'er, Xu Lu didn't see the change in Xia Jiu'er's face just now, but now that she heard Xia Jiu'er's compliment, she immediately responded with a smile: "I drew it, but I'm not very knowledgeable, so I can't stand Xia Jiu'er." This compliment from my sister."
Hearing Xu Lu's words, Xia Jiu'er immediately had a meaningful smile on her face, it seemed that her guess was really right.
Thinking about it, Xia Jiu'er stretched out her hand to touch the painting, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, Xu Lu immediately stopped nervously: "Don't!"
Xia Jiu'er paused, looked back at Xu Lu and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Lu's eyes flickered slightly, and she said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm just afraid that the ink will stain my sister's clothes." In fact, Xu Lu was afraid that Xia Jiu'er's subordinates would damage her painting.
Listening to Xu Lu calling her "Sister Xia", Xia Jiu'er felt like throwing up, she turned her head and said calmly, "I'm not afraid."
Xia Jiu'er stretched out her hand to touch the painting a few times, as if she was really admiring the painting, she withdrew her hand, Xia Jiu'er smiled lightly and said, "It's also because I don't read much, so I can't tell that other than I think it looks good. What is the way?"
Seeing that her painting was still intact, Xu Lu heaved a sigh of relief. Hearing Xia Jiuer's words, she despised Xia Jiuer from the bottom of her heart, but smiled indistinctly on her face, "Sister Xia's words are modest. gone."
Xia Jiu'er rolled her eyes in her heart, let's not talk about whether she is modest or not, but she knows about Xu Lu's hypocrisy.
We all grew up together, is it interesting for Xu Lu to say that
A girl surnamed Li came up next to her and said, "That's right, just now we were saying that Miss Xu's paintings are really beautiful."
Xia Jiu'er just smiled and said nothing, but put her hand under her nose and sniffed it vigorously by wiping her nose with a silk handkerchief. Sure enough, the ink carried a scent that she was very familiar with.
When she was a child, Chu Han always thought the smell of ink was unpleasant, and she didn't like to practice calligraphy, so Su Yan came up with a way to make people trip the powder into the ink, and Chu Han reluctantly accepted the smell of ink. And from then on, whenever Chu Han encountered ink that was not mixed with fragrance powder, he would wrinkle his nose and scream, and it was precisely because of this that the ink used by the master of Prince Jin's mansion was mixed with fragrance powder. It hasn't changed.
With the score in mind, Xia Jiu'er looked at the painting with some amusement.
Tsk tsk... This is fun, Xu Lu took the painting drawn by her elder brother Mu and said that it was drawn by her, bah! Shameless!
If she exposed Xu Lu in front of so many people, wouldn't it be more fun than pushing her into the lake
Thinking of this, Xia Jiu'er's eyes lit up immediately, and a very beautiful smile slowly opened at the corner of her mouth.
The girls around saw Xia Jiu'er smiling, and thought she was happy to hear that Miss Li praised Xu Lu's painting. In order to flatter Xia Jiu'er, everyone immediately praised Xu Lu's painting.
Xu Lu couldn't help feeling complacent when she heard everyone's praise, and subconsciously glanced at the man.
At this time, the man is also paying attention to the woman.
Originally, they had been aroused by the bursts of praise from the next door before, and wanted to go over to see what kind of paintings could make these talented girls in Beijing praise so much. Of course, some people wanted to I have had some contact with these women in the past.
After all, the defense between men and women is very strict, and there are very few opportunities for men and women to be together, and these young men and buddies usually read too many stories about talented men and beautiful women, so they naturally want to choose a wife they want. It just so happens that next door are some young girls with good status and talent, it would be great if they have a close eye, it's better than a blind marriage.
And at that time, Xia Jiuer came.
Although the girl Xia Jiu'er acted a little bit arrogantly in Beijing, her innocent and straightforward character is also very pleasing, so there is no lack of admirers. It just so happens that among these men, there are really two who love Xia Jiu'er Favorable.
But Xia Jiu'er interrupted the conversation when he came, so they couldn't rush forward. Now that someone is starting to talk about the painting again, no matter what kind of calculations they have in mind, they can't do it right now. Sanctimoniously, they passed by together under the guise of enjoying calligraphy and painting.
Seeing those men approaching, Xu Lu was suddenly excited, and even her back was much straighter than usual.
At this time, the other girls were also secretly moved, they all whispered to each other: "Look, they are here."
"Yes, please help me to see, my pearls are in a mess."
"Have you seen Mr. Pei? He looks more handsome than the rumors say."
"No, I heard from my brother that he hasn't married anyone yet..."
Listening to the whispers of the girls around, Xia Jiu'er also glanced curiously at these people who came over, they were all familiar, and she could also call them by name, but she didn't recognize a fair-looking man, Then I took another look, presumably this person is the Mr. Pei that these nympho talk about
Hmm... She looks like a human being, but she is not as good-looking as her elder brother Mu, so it is not worthy of these women to behave like this.
Xia Jiu'er withdrew her gaze and turned to Xu Lu. Seeing Xu Lu's excitement, Xia Jiu'er turned her eyes to the calligraphy and painting again, and a question popped up in her heart.
Could it be that Xu Lu also fell in love with this man, and wanted to show her face in front of Mr. Pei, so she used her brother Mu's painting to deceive people
The more she thought about it, the more Xia Jiu'er felt that this matter was extremely possible.
Just as he was thinking, Xia Jiu'er saw those men coming to him, and the leader of them was the young master of the Sun family. I want to join in the fun, I wonder if the girls will agree?"
The chattering girls suddenly quieted down, all of them were very dignified, bowing their heads slightly to show their observance, only Xia Jiu'er was still looking up among a bunch of men, chatting with acquaintances. Say hello.
"I heard from my elder brother Mu that you won the second place in Chunwei, you can." Xia Jiuer smiled at Zhao Jiuliang.
Xia Jiu'er and the Zhao family's daughter are a bit hypocritical, so they are also familiar with this Mr. Zhao.
Zhao Jiuliang said modestly: "It's okay for Miss Xia to say this normally, but in front of Brother Pei, she's a bit of a fool. Come on, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Pei Jinping."
With that said, Zhao Jiuliang specially introduced Pei Jinping to Xia Jiu'er.
For the flattery of others, Xia Jiu'er didn't feel a little bit flustered, what is the new champion or not... She has seen many champions, and nothing else, her brother Mu is still the champion of the previous year.
Therefore, Xia Jiu'er just nodded to Pei Jinping politely, and then looked away, as if she didn't see him.
Pei Jinping put away the folding fan in his hand, and looked at Xia Jiu'er with interest. Since he came to the capital, it was the first time he met a girl who dismissed him.
