Portrait of a young lady?
Qin Xiangxiang was suddenly filled with curiosity.
But when Counselor Chen spoke to Zhu Sanlang, Zhu Sanlang raised his eyes and looked at her.
Qin Xiangxiang showed a sweet smile to Zhu Sanlang, and then watched Zhu Sanlang striding towards her: "Madam Qin, we, Counselor Chen, have invited you."
The side hall is filled with portraits of young ladies. I don’t know where Zhu Sanlang found the painter. Each portrait is... very similar.
Chen Ze sat at the top and motioned for Qin Xiangxiang to come closer to the portrait: "Ms. Qin is a member of the capital and the eldest daughter of Qin Yushi. She must have had friendships with these young ladies to some extent. .Today, Chen has a heartless request, and he wants to ask Mrs. Qin to hold his eyes."
Qin Xiangxiang was still confused as to why Counselor Chen had found so many portraits of young ladies.
But when Chen Ze said this, she looked a little embarrassed: "I really can't help you here..." The most she knew was Cui Qingqing, well, and Qin Wanwan.
Chen Ze didn't seem to hear what she said, and only asked Zhu Sanlang to display a portrait in front of Qin Xiangxiang: "This is Lady Cui, the daughter of Cui Jiancheng's family in the Imperial Academy. Lady Qin must have seen it before."
Isn’t Mrs. Cui, the daughter of Cui Jiancheng’s family, Liao Pingshi’s cousin Cui Qingqing?
Qin Xiangxiang's eyes widened as he looked at the overly plump little lady in the portrait. Except for the hairpins on her head that were exactly the same as Cui Qingqing's, there was nothing else in common with her.
This painter loved plump young ladies, so he painted all the young ladies in the capital to look plump.
But she couldn't lie. Not only had she met Cui Qingqing, but she had also quarreled with Cui Qingqing.
She heard Chen Ze ask again: "What does Madam Qin think of Madam Cui?"
Qin Xiangxiang suppressed his worries and thought about it for a moment and said: "Ms. Cui... is very beautiful and has a straightforward temperament. She is willing to go to the trouble of relatives." Although Cui Qingqing did not think highly of the daughter of the Qin family. High, but just because she doesn't want her cousin to be seduced by bad women and is willing to scold them, she is still worthy of praise.
Chen Ze nodded, and Counselor Zhu, who had arrived late, was surprised: "I didn't expect Madam Qin to speak so highly of Madam Cui."
Yao Erlang looked at Cui Qingqing's portrait blankly and said hesitantly: "This is Lady Cui? It doesn't look like her at all..."
And Mrs. Qin’s evaluation of Mrs. Cui... Mrs. Qin almost made Mrs. Cui angry to death that day...
But Yao Erlang didn't dare to say.
Chen Zedao: "Madam Qin's evaluation of Madam Cui coincides with our thoughts. Then Madam Cui should be ranked first."
Qin Xiangxiang then asked hesitantly: "Counsellor Chen, I would like to ask, what are you going to do?"
Chen Ze smiled cordially: "Oh, I forgot to tell Mrs. Qin. We are here to help the young master choose a young lady who is suitable for him."
The young master is Mu Ting, and they are looking after the young lady for Mu Ting.
Chen Ze stared at Qin Xiangxiang calmly.
Qin Xiangxiang was indeed a little surprised, choosing a suitable young lady for Mu Ting? Mu Ting is so pitiful, just as pitiful as her, he doesn't even have the right to choose his future partner.
But Mu Ting and her were different. She could only choose some crooked melons, cracked dates, and sickly seedlings, but Mu Ting's starting point was a little lady like Cui Qingqing.
Cui Qingqing originally cared about Song Mingjie, but now Song Mingjie is dead. What if she didn't like Mu Ting, but was pushed out by her family members... Yeah, it's exciting just thinking about it!
Qin Xiangxiang smiled insincerely: "I see. That's very good. Madam Cui and Mr. Mu are very suitable for each other."
Chen Ze looked away calmly. Qin Xiangxiang's reaction was indeed beyond his expectation.
Qin Xiangxiang was very excited: "What about the other ladies? I'm happy to help Mu Langjun with his advice. Although I haven't seen them, I can go and inquire."
Yao Erlang said hurriedly: "Madam Qin, last time you competed in Tiansheng Tower, it was Madam Luo who made fun of your relationship with Wenyue Langjun." He remembered it firmly. Mrs. Luo Sanniang was born with a good temperament, but that day in Tiansheng Tower, she wanted to stir up trouble.
"It turns out to be her. But it doesn't matter, I didn't take this matter to heart. Half of the young ladies in this capital admire Mr. Wenyue Lang."
Chen Ze added another sentence: "Including Mrs. Qin?"
"I, of course, admire Wenyue Langjun. After all, because of Wenyue Langjun, the restaurant I run has become very prosperous." Qin Xiangxiang said calmly and generously.
She could swear that Chen Ze seemed to have ill intentions towards her. Of course he wasn't interested in her. She is very self-aware of her appearance. It should be because of her father's relationship that he treats her like this. But because of Mu Ting's relationship, she had to give her some face.
Or perhaps, he wanted to use this to explore her relationship with Nangong Wenyue.
Qin Xiang thought about it and smiled at Chen Ze again.
The swelling on her face had just gone away, and her face was pale and tight. Now she smiled timidly, which made Chen Ze think that he was thinking too much.
Perhaps Mrs. Qin is just a puppet to Nangong Wenyue.
The little lady whose family suddenly suffered a drastic change was left alone and alone in the capital to make a living. It was only reasonable to seek refuge with some people.
Chen Ze stopped asking Qin Xiangxiang.
Qin Xiangxiang also relaxed and was looking at the portraits of other young ladies with interest when Mu Ting came back.
The Mu Ting of today was different from the Mu Ting who ran away with her last night. On the contrary, he had a similar temperament to that day when she was kidnapped by Ma Sizhi and saw him sitting in a carriage on the road.
The jade crown holds the hair that looks like it has been polished, the sideburns must have been trimmed, and the beard seems to have been shaved. He was also wearing a modified Hu suit with dark patterns on a blue ground and colored with broken branches and flowers, tied with a black belt, which made him look even more muscular. Under his feet was a pair of black boots with snow-white soles, which showed the advantage of his long legs. Mu Ting looked more and more handsome. In fact, Mu Ting's facial features were pretty good. The reason why he wasn't outstanding before and looked a little sloppy was because he didn't clean up his appearance. Sure enough, a man depends on his clothes, and a horse depends on its saddle!
Yao Erlang whispered in Qin Xiangxiang's ear: "Young master went shopping for clothes today. The Hu clothes you are wearing now should be newly bought. The size and color are just right, and the young master looks handsome and handsome."
Qin Xiangxiang's mind wandered for a moment.
She recalled that last night Mu Ting held her in his arms and they walked through the tall and short newly built dilapidated walls in the capital. How could she not realize that he had a pretty good figure? Bah, bah, bah, she is a young lady who has not yet left the court, how could she have such bad thoughts? She is really not a human being!
"Ms. Qin?" In the blink of an eye, Mu Ting had already walked up to her.
Qin Xiangxiang came back to his senses instantly and smiled timidly at Mu Ting: "Mu Langjun, you are back."
Mu Ting looked at the clothes she was wearing and saw her rolled up sleeves and her skirt that she was trying to pull up. A look of guilt appeared on his face: "Sorry, I'm not good at buying clothes."
He was telling the truth. This was his first time buying clothes for the young lady.
Qin Xiangxiang smiled and said, "It's okay. The material of the dress is very good. I will try my best to grow taller and fatter to be worthy of it."
She was telling the truth. Although the dress Mu Ting bought was large in size, the material was made of fine silk. If she really can't grow taller or gain weight in the future, it won't be too late to cut her hair again.
Yao Erlang was thinking to himself, Mrs. Qin is really good at talking.
The talkative Mrs. Qin smiled and asked Mu Ting in a low voice: "When will Mr. Mu see you?"
