The heroine is so cute, she quickly puts on her clothes and lies down

The courtyard where Xie Qillang lives is one of the best courtyards in the mansion.

This side courtyard alone is twice as big as all the courtyards in Xie Yue’s own house.

Of course, Xie Hanlin was only a minor official of the seventh rank. Even though he came from a noble place like Hanlin, he was still humble and inconspicuous in a place like Kyoto where all the big shots were.

The mansion can never be compared with Master Xie’s.

*

"Master Yue, the Seventh Young Master is back. Please come over."

Except for Qing Mo brought by Zhu Yue, all the servants in the courtyard are from the Imperial Teacher's Mansion.

Although he was respectful to this young master from a low-ranking branch who had only come to gather together, it was obvious that his respect was superficial.

Zhu Yue stood up and nodded.

"lead the way."

After walking through the long corridor, there are two halls and a pond, and finally we arrived at the Bamboo Garden where Xie Qi lived.

Yanzhu, who was beside Qingmo, stepped forward and greeted the aunt in charge of Zhuyuan.

"Aunt Lianyi, someone is coming."

Lianyi glanced at Zhu Yue, and there was more complexity in her eyes.

"The young master is painting. Young Master Yue, please follow me."

Zhu Yue didn't think much and just followed him forward.

However, when Qing Mo behind her wanted to step forward, he was stopped by Yan Zhu.

"The Seventh Young Master only said he wanted to see Young Master Yue. We can't get in."

Qing Mo soon discovered that Yan Zhu was right.

After Lianyi left, there were still six servants blocking the way outside the Bamboo Garden gate.

When he tried to go in, he found himself stopped.

Zhu Yue also found that this yard was very different from what she had expected.

The strictness of the defense is really not like that of a minister's son.

When she thought about the time she went to pay her respects to the Imperial Master, the Imperial Master's courtyard was not even in this state.

There was a strong servant every ten steps.

When she passed by, he looked her up and down with a fierce look.

My God, if this was really a five-year-old child, he would be scared and cry before he even walks in, and then would be carried out by these people.

Wait...it can't be that all the previous study partners are gone.

Before you actually meet the person, you're already giving him a warning.

Create psychological pressure?

I have to say this move is very clever.

"Master Yue, we are here. I will withdraw first. You are not allowed to enter the Seventh Young Master's room without permission."

This statement clearly meant that Zhu Yue had to wait here and was not allowed to go in until she got permission.

After she finished speaking, Lianyi, the well-behaved maid, left.

Zhu Yue didn't look around, just stood there with her eyes lowered and started waiting.

She tended to think it was a test.

The Xie family would not agree to let just anyone be Xie Qillang's study partner without investigation.

Xie Yue, the legitimate young master of the Xie family's side branch, is initially qualified.

They must have also investigated the character of this young master.

Only if he feels satisfied will he accept Xie Hanlin's kindness.

However, it was not enough for the Xie family to be satisfied with this candidate.

If you want to stay, the first person you have to deal with is Xie Qilang.

If Xie Qilang is not satisfied, she will be driven away like her previous study partner.

Zhu Yue knew that if she was really kicked out, the outcome would not be good.

It's simple, both Madam Xie and Hanlin Xie will be disappointed in her.

The original owner's wish failed directly.

After thinking for a while, time passed by unknowingly.

Before dark, Zhu Yue finally heard a childish and proud voice.

"Xie Yue, come in."

Zhu Yue pushed the door open and saw a spacious and magnificent layout with carved beams and painted buildings, and a magnificent appearance.

In front of the Zouzhi Hall, huge red pillars support the four corners of the pavilion, and the lifelike birds are very spectacular.

The floor was covered with a velvet carpet with a tortoise-back ruyi pattern, and the floor of the house was paved with white jade.

The whole room looked gorgeous and noisy.

From the details, Zhu Yue already had a general understanding of Xie Qi's character.

After actually meeting him in person, I discovered that he unexpectedly looked older than Zhu Yue's current age.

Logically speaking, both of them should be six years old now.

But Xie Yue looked like he was five or six years old, while Xie Qillang looked like he was eight or nine years old.

A head taller than Zhu Yue.

Seeing Xie Yue, he frowned.

"Why do you look so girly and so short? Don't you have enough to eat at home?"

Zhu Yue: “…”

Xie Qilang: "What's that expression on your face? That's impossible. Are you really not full?"

Zhu Yue coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Seventh Master, what is the matter with calling me here?"

Xie Qi pointed at the paintings on the table.

"What do you think of my painting?"

Zhu Yue took two steps forward before she could clearly see the painting on Xie Qilang's desk.

"It looks good. Is this a painting by the Seventh Young Master?"

This is an ink-and-wash landscape painting.

Although she is good at oil painting, she is also able to appreciate landscape paintings. Beauty is universal.

"Idiot." Xie Qilang looked at her with disdain.

“The one next to it is the one I drew.”

Only then did Zhu Yue notice that there was another painting next to the landscape scroll.

"Uh……"

That couldn't even be called a painting. In Zhu Yue's eyes, she couldn't draw like that when she first started practicing sketching.

It's obviously a child's scribble.

"Speak up, what do you think of my painting? Grandfather said that my talent in calligraphy and painting is unmatched. As long as I keep painting, how long do you think it will take for me to paint like the original?"

That's it? Unrivaled talent?

Could it be that Mr. Xie, the Emperor's Master, who looks so serious and upright, would abandon his conscience and speak nonsense just to make his grandson happy?

The little dwarf frowned in distress.

"I do not know."

Xie Qillang wanted to push the person out, but when he saw the other person's clean eyes, he hesitated slightly.

"It's boring. Go away."

Zhu Yue took one last look at the scroll on the desk.

"Wait, come back."

Xie Qillang regretted it again.

"Draw a picture for me."

In fact, he didn't quite believe what his grandfather said. Maybe he was just trying to coax him to let him stick to calligraphy and painting.

You can tell from this kid's hands that he has only been enlightened recently. Hands that hold a pen for a long time will have a thin layer of calluses. Every study partner who came before him has calluses on their hands.

Only this one is missing.

He must not have learned calligraphy or painting.

Zhu Yue didn't move and said, "I can't."

I seem to have forgotten how beginners draw.

This is not the case, so that is not the case.

Xie Qilang didn’t think too much about it.

He pushed the man to the desk and took away his paintings.

Put another layer of white paper on it.

"You come and try. You are not allowed to refuse. If you dare not listen to me, I will drive you away today."

Zhu Yue: "...Okay."

This is what you said yourself.

Once you have mastered sketching, it is not difficult to paint landscapes with a brush.

In addition, Xie Qi's intention was obviously to ask her to copy the landscape painting next to her.

It is not surprising that beginners usually start with copying.

Xie Qi thought Xie Yue was a beginner.

She changed the way she held the pen and used it incorrectly.

Not so standard.

As expected, Xie Qillang couldn't see anything.

I secretly laughed at this person for not even starting to learn.

I know nothing.

However, as Zhu Yue gradually moved his pen, Xie Qilang's expression changed.

When Zhu Yue put down her pen, she discovered...

"why are you crying?"
