"Sister-in-law, is eldest brother here? Sister, I have something to ask him."
"He! He has just entered the palace, are you in a hurry?"
"No, there's no rush."
"Then sit here and chat with me. It's been a long time since you went to Huimin Pharmacy."
Zhu Jingjing was quite reluctant, unable to resist the kindness, so she reluctantly agreed.
"Yes! I don't want to stay at that shabby pharmacy for a moment longer. It will waste our relationship for nothing."
Seeing that Zhu Jingjing was resentful, Chang asked curiously.
"What's wrong, someone over there has offended you? That's not possible! Who dares to be so short-sighted? Or is there some other reason?"
When Mrs. Chang asked, Zhu Jingjing's grievances seemed to have not been held back at this moment, and she poured them out to Mrs. Chang.
"That's it, sister-in-law, it's too bullying for you to judge me."
"Yi Hou is a very nice person! The hero was born thanks to Yi Hou's help. The prince often talks about Yi Hou's kindness. Is there any misunderstanding?"
"I brought the painting over, please take a look. Is it bullying?"
When I opened the painting, I didn't see Zheng Xiong's portrait, but I noticed the big cross first.
Mrs. Chang shook her head helplessly and looked at Zheng Xiong's portrait.
Chang had met Zheng Xiong several times and had some understanding of his appearance.
The portraits painted by Zhu Jingjing appear to be very tall, but their expressions are humble.
To be honest, from a third party's perspective, this expression is not suitable or appropriate based on the inherent impression.
It seems that it was vilified with some grudges.
"The doctor is selfless, has a virtuous heart, and is humble and courteous. Your picture is indeed a bit too much."
What! Mrs. Chang actually spoke to Zheng Xiong, not to mention how aggrieved Zhu Jingjing was.
"That's it! You don't know him, you don't understand him, and you were deceived by him. This is his true face."
Seeing that Mrs. Chang was indifferent, Zhu Jingjing said eagerly.
"A few days ago, when he saw me coming, he showed no respect and his salute was rather perfunctory."
"I asked him for advice on painting, and guess what he drew, a chicken pecking at rice. No one could draw it better than him."
"He also said it would be valuable if left at home for a hundred years, so he gave it to me."
"I don't believe it, so he wrote a poem. The poem is very good, and it has a chicken pecking at the rice. Isn't this contempt for me? What is it?"
"He is a cunning and insidious person. You can't be fooled by his appearance."
Yes, everything you said is right. Chang was unfazed and nodded perfunctorily in agreement.
"The chicken pecking at the rice is really perfunctory. Maybe the doctor is not good at drawing Taoism."
"Poetry, it seems that you agree with it, so don't argue with him."
its not right! Why do my elbows always turn outwards?
Zhu Jingjing explained hard.
"Sister-in-law, believe me, he is really such a person."
"I believe you. Don't be too entangled in this matter. Go back and have a sleep and it will be over. There is no need to take it seriously."
Seeing Chang's indifferent expression, looking like a peacemaker, Zhu Jingjing had nothing to say.
"Wait for me. I'll bring you the picture of a chicken pecking at rice. You can read it later."
Zhu Jingjing left in a hurry and returned to the palace.
When Zhu Biao came back, he happened to meet Zhu Jingjing coming over with a painting.
He was so furious that he almost staggered Zhu Biao.
"My daughter's family looks like this, how unbecoming it is!"
With no time to explain, Zhu Jingjing was eager to prove Zheng Xiong's true identity.
"Brother, you're here at the right time. Please give me some advice and see Zheng Xiong's true face."
"What! Are you crazy? I don't know what the doctor is like, so stop fooling around."
In front of Zhu Jingjing who was eager to prove, Zhu Biao's words were of no use and he was pulled directly in front of Chang.
After understanding the cause and effect of the incident, Zhu Biao looked at the two paintings with a critical eye.
Zhu Jingjing's paintings clearly contained some emotion. In Zhu Biao's opinion, it would not be unusual for Lao Zhu to be beheaded if he painted like this, so he didn't care.
The picture of a chicken pecking at rice is a bit interesting. Although it only needs hands, the poem is excellent.
Zhu Biao focused his eyes on the poems and savored them carefully.
"This poem is good. Yihou's poems are as good as ever. They should be excellent works."
"This poem, together with the original work of the Marquis Yi, will be worth a hundred gold a hundred years later. In my opinion, a thousand gold is not impossible. If you want it, don't give it to me!"
After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Jingjing with some hope, and Mrs. Chang also nodded.
Zhu Jingjing almost collapsed.
What! Tell the truth, but no one believes it!
"Ignore you. I'll go find my father and mother. They will definitely be able to bring justice to me, huh."
However, when they first heard that Zhu Jingjing had been wronged, Lao Zhu and Queen Ma were a little angry.
But when I heard it was Zheng Xiong, it was okay.
You can do whatever you want, and Zheng Xiong is very responsible. He does not form cliques for personal gain, and he has the ability to make money. He is diligent and has no complaints.
It doesn't matter if you go out of your way.
Lao Zhu had also known about this for a long time. Zheng Xiong was indeed not very respectful, but Zhu Jingjing decided to let it go according to Zhu Jingjing's desire to punish the crime.
"Well, that's a bit outrageous. How about we ask him to come over and apologize to you?"
Zhu Jingjing was so angry when she saw Lao Zhu also protecting Zheng Xiong and trying to make big things into trivial matters.
He simply used his ultimate move.
"Father, Emperor, Mother, it's okay for me to feel a little wronged. It's just based on my observation."
"There are so many painters painting portraits every day. It is really useless. It is ridiculous to support such a group of people with the people's wealth. I hope my father will tell you."
Zhu Jingjing is not the first, nor the last.
Someone has long impeached Zheng Xiong for what he did.
But the money was earned by Zheng Xiong, and it was earned openly and openly. It was not about people's wealth and favors. At most, it was robbing the rich and giving to the poor.
I am still staring at this piece of fat! Where can I tolerate other people's bad deeds?
It would be better not to say anything if Zhu Jingjing said it.
I saw Lao Zhu taking out a document from an official document and handing it to Zhu Jingjing.
"It's still somewhat useful. Look at this document. This is what happened today."
Having said this, Lao Zhu still had an indifferent expression. Zhu Jingjing took the document blankly and started reading it.
Today, someone came to the government office to report a case. There was a woman in Xicheng who was climbed over the wall and her innocence was ruined.
The government office received the report and based on the wronged woman's description, the appearance of the criminal was drawn.
After confirmation, the most similar pair was found and arrested immediately.
In less than an hour, the criminal's hiding place was found and he was captured.
It is understood that it was the doctor who conducted the assessment at the pharmacy. According to the artist's drawings, the similarity is close to 80%.
"You can also see that although it is one selected from many portraits, the role of the painter is also highlighted in it."
"Just looking at this function alone, it will be much easier to track down criminals in the future."
"My Ming Dynasty needs a lot of people in all directions of Kyushu. We are also preparing to declare it to the world and let all the chief ministers follow suit. Please stop making trouble."
