The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 309 Finding Chen Wang

Qingyin was ready to call it a day only after finishing the last painting.

The other onlookers dispersed on their own accord when they saw that someone was looking for something with the young man.

Zhan Qingwen, holding the painting, was in no hurry to leave.

He watched Qingyin packing up her things happily, and glanced at Chen Wang next to Qingyin, guessing his relationship with Qingyin.

Qingyin took the initiative to explain: "This is the student who participated in the Autumn Examination with me, and he is my good friend—Chen Wang."

Chen Wang looked at Zhan Qingwen and smiled obediently.

Zhan Qingwen nodded and said that he felt that this young man was not like Young Master Xie, and it turned out that they were good friends.

After being reminded of this, Zhan Qingwen discovered more and more inconsistencies. For example, the fabric of Mr. Chen's clothes was not only much better than that of Mr. Xie, but the crown on his head was also the most expensive style in Huailin. And although he could not recognize the jade pendant hanging around his waist, it was a rare and good thing judging from its luster and quality. By making such a comparison, it can be seen that Mr. Chen has a noble background.

And Young Master Xie's clothes were made to look elegant by his master. The most common coarse cloth clothes among the common people looked both expensive and ethereal on Young Master Xie, truly a human shirt.

From this point of view, the reason why Young Master Xie set up a stall to sell paintings is self-evident.

Moreover, this young master stands tall, is able to let go, and is not ashamed of doing business. He is truly a golden fish in a pond, which can turn into a dragon when encountering wind and clouds.

Thinking of this, Zhan Qingwen regretted marrying his daughter off too early. It really hurt him to watch a little golden dragon unable to keep it in his hands.

Qingyin looked at the old man who suddenly looked regretful and hateful, and was curious about what he was thinking about and why he suddenly became so emotional.

As if knowing Qingyin's curiosity, Zhan Qingwen smiled and introduced himself to Qingyin earnestly: "Young Master Xie, I am the county magistrate of Huailin County, and I am also a person who loves painting and calligraphy. Young Master Xie is a talented person, and I also cherish talents. If you are short of money, I can help you."

Qingyin knew that Zhan Qingwen was optimistic about him and wanted to place a bet on him and give him money in advance.

Qingyin politely declined: "Thank you, County Magistrate Zhan, for your appreciation. However, the money I earned from selling the paintings is enough. Thank you, County Magistrate Zhan."

Knowing that Qingyin was rejecting him, County Magistrate Zhan was not angry. After all, with this young man's skills in painting and writing, he should be able to make a good living.

"Yes, with your ability, it is not difficult to make money. But do I have the guts to ask you to be my friend regardless of age difference?"

Zhan Qingwen said to Qingyin with a cheerful smile.

Qing Yin remained calm, with the corners of her lips slightly raised: "It is my honor."

"Good good."

After saying goodbye to Zhan Qingwen, I was on my way home.

Chen Wang looked at Qingyin quietly.

Looking at his good friend, who had made friends with a county magistrate who was respected by his father just by selling paintings, Chen Wang suddenly felt a little lost and inferior.

It seemed that apart from his background, he was incomparable to Ain in any way. Even the fact that he made friends with Ain was because of his thick skin that clung to him.

So will Ain be disappointed to become good friends with him?

On the way back, Chen Wang became much quieter and no longer talked as much as he usually did.

Qingyin knew it and didn't ask any more questions.

In the past few days, she also found that Chen Wang was more serious in his studies.

When I encounter a difficult problem while holding a book, I will seriously ask her what she means.

No longer as lazy as before, working for three days and resting for two days.

On the day when the results of the autumn examination were announced, the Chen family, who had been driven crazy because their young master had run away, finally followed the trail and found him. They happened to see the young master in the house, with the warm sunlight shining on him, reading a book seriously, with his eyes dazed.

No, is this still the little master in their family who doesn't like to study? !

Chen Xiaosheng rubbed his eyes and turned his head to look over.

The boy sitting on the stone bench, reading a book seriously, was a young man who looked exactly like their young master.

He was so surprised that he forgot that there was a young man next to him who was more handsome than his own young master.

Chen Wang: "Mr. Chen! Come here quickly, you are as stupid as a pig. I have been out for so many days and you just realized that I am missing."

With such a sharp tongue, it was confirmed that he was their family's sharp-tongued and arrogant young master.

Chen Xiaosheng ran over quickly, leaving the bodyguards who followed him standing there on standby.

"Oh, my little master, you went to take the exam without informing the mistress and master, and you just slipped away alone. The mistress and master were looking for you like crazy at home. If the maid who went out to buy things hadn't seen a face similar to yours and went to the direction of the ship, they might still be looking for you."

Chen Xiaosheng had a bitter face. He was the servant of the young master, and the young master had sneaked away without telling him. If his father had not been the steward who had worked in the Chen family for many years and had feelings for him, he would have been severely beaten.

Facing Chen Xiaosheng's fiery and resentful gaze, Chen Wang felt a little guilty and did not dare to look at Qingyin's eyes next to him.

Normally he always pretended to be a "good and obedient" young man in front of Qingyin, but when he saw the familiar person, he couldn't help but reveal his true face, and he lowered his head guiltily.

Worried that Ain's impression of him had hit rock bottom.

Qingyin had a calm smile on her lips as she watched quietly. She could tell that something was wrong with the young master's attitude on weekdays, but she never expected that he was so bold as to come to Huailin alone to take part in the autumn examination and actually run away from home.

No wonder the young master doesn’t have a servant around him, Qingyin thought and smiled.

Chen Xiaosheng also noticed the even more outstanding young master beside the young master.

What a good face indeed.

Her appearance is like the spring flowers and autumn moon, like a pure rose among the flowers in the sky, and like a rainbow after a heavy rain in the dry season. It is the winter sun and the summer flowers, warm and gorgeous, and even in the dark night it is the brightest star.

In front of such a young man, Chen Xiaosheng inevitably became nervous and paid attention to his image. He tried hard to smooth out the corners of his clothes that were wrinkled due to running so fast. It seemed that in front of such a young man, being untidy was an insult to him.

Based on the investigation, Chen Xiaosheng knew that this young man was the one that the young master had pestered to make friends with, and he was also the one who changed the young master and made him a better person. Chen Xiaosheng had a lot of good feelings towards him to begin with, and after seeing him in person, he liked him even more.

"Hello, young master." Chen Xiaosheng was so nervous that his tone became a little stumbling.

Qingyin smiled gently and nodded in response to Chen Xiaosheng.

Chen Wang also knew Chen Xiaosheng's nervousness. Looking at Chen Xiaosheng's embarrassing appearance, he felt inexplicably comforted for his own embarrassment these days.

He said to Qingyin and Chen Xiaosheng: "Ayin, this boy is my servant. He has been dumb since he was a child and doesn't know how to speak."

Qingyin said gently: "It's okay, I'm fine."
