"The girl in the dream you mentioned is very similar to an old friend I know, but..." Lin Chenyao suddenly didn't say anything, and someone knocked on the window outside.

"Master, there is something urgent." It was a strange voice.

Lin Chenyao nodded slightly to Chu Xinyu, and jumped out of the window.

Chu Xinyu ran to the window and looked at the two black shadows and disappeared into the night in an instant. She remembered that she had not tested whether he had heard what she and Lan Yi said, but for a short time after talking to him, it seemed that he was only concerned about the girl in his dream.

Originally, she used these words to swear by King Qin, but she didn't expect that the same words could deceive Lin Chenyao. Now he is full of curiosity about himself. As long as he is interested in him, she will have a way to make him suspicious of Xu Zhilan.

In fact, the greatest contribution to everything today is Guifei Qi. If she had not been aggressive, she would have no excuse to compete with Xu Zhilan openly. At the same time, she was also glad that she did not teach her the charcoal painting technique at the beginning.

Therefore, people cannot spread their trump cards all, so that they can see through them at a glance. They have to keep some mystery or one or two secrets and give themselves a way out.

Because he didn't sleep well at night, Chu Xinyu got up the next day, yawned and washed his face before he woke up.

After having breakfast, she asked Zhu Bo to take out a box containing luminous jade from the secret wall in the study. When Lan Yi heard this, she knew that she really planned to take it to respect the old lady. Last night, she thought she was joking and hurriedly said, "Girl, this was something you have to get back after working hard. If you gave it to the old lady, you may not leave it to you in the future."

What a good meaning is a pair of jade geese. The geese are auspicious birds, and it also represents the loyalty of the couple. How many people want to ask for it but can't get it.

Zhu Bo also nodded in agreement with Lan Yi's words. Although the old lady's attitude towards the girl has changed a lot, it has not been so good that everything is considered for her.

"Don't worry, it's me who belongs to me, and I can't even rob it." Chu Xinyu did not take back the luminous jade because of their dissuasion.

Lan Yi and Zhubo heard that she had no choice but to let Zhubo take the brocade box with her.

Their master and servant came to Anshan Hall. As soon as they stepped into the front yard, Yuqin came up with a smile, and said with a smile: "Miss Fifth, the old lady got up early this morning and was waiting for you to come."

Chu Xinyu nodded his head lightly and smiled at Yuqin.

Yuqin smiled very kindly, led her in person, and opened the curtain to let her in.

In the room, Chu Jiapeng and Chu Jiating and others were there, while the old lady Chu was sitting on the Luohan couch, in good spirits and was full of glamour. When she saw Chu Xinyu coming in, she immediately called her over.

Chu Xinyu saluted with a blessing in front of him.

Old Mrs. Chu asked her to come forward, sat beside her, holding her smile and said, "I heard about the banquet yesterday. You have brought honor to our Marquis' Mansion."

Last night, she learned that Chu Xinyu won the best award. She was surprised and happy. She thought that the third or sixth girl would win glory from the Marquis's mansion. She only hoped that the fifth girl would not make a fool of herself, but she did not expect that she was so powerful that even the second girl of the Fu family, known as the painting fairy, was her defeated general.

But it's right. If she didn't have that strength, how could she have such an accurate analysis when she told her about the court? She just didn't expect that she would hide herself so deeply. She used to think she was really nothing, but she was better than her having a beautiful face. If she didn't excel in the future, she could find a young man with a good family background to marry.

Now there is no need to worry about this. She will be the wife of the Marquis of Beiping in the future. She will be the in-laws of Duke Rong’s mansion. That is what many people dream of! Their Zhongyi Marquis Mansion has finally made it through.

Chu Xinyu smiled and said, "I am not my credit alone. The gift I gave to Princess Zhaoyang has added a lot of points to me. This is the result of the handmade beads made by the maid of Xiaozhuyuan. Because of this, Princess Zhaoyang has also helped me a lot."

Old Mrs. Chu naturally heard about her being knocked into the water and almost lost her virginity by Tong Zhen. During this process, Princess Zhaoyang must have helped a lot, so she said to Madam Sun: "Give each maid who builds the courtyard will receive ten taels of silver."

The maid from Xiaozhuyuan was filled with joy when she heard this, and secretly felt that she had followed the right master. The girl had rewarded them last night, but the girl remembered them again in front of the old lady and gave them a double reward.

The maids in other courtyards were both jealous and envious, but who told their master that he was not good enough and did not get the reward.

Yang Lianxin said, "Grandma, my fifth cousin's paintings are really great, but they are so vivid. I don't know where she learned her painting skills. I am willing to teach others. I also want to learn them."

Old Mrs. Chu asked: "It's really vivid?"

Yang Lianxin nodded, "Yes, it's true, if you don't believe me, ask my third cousin and my sixth cousin."

Chu Xinyu looked at Yang Lianxin. What did she mean when she asked her to learn painting from her? Do you want her grandmother to force her to teach her?

Chu Jiating smiled and said, "It's useless that we say it's useless. It's not that the fifth sister draws a picture, which is the most ironclad evidence."

After her mother's guidance last night, she felt much calmer. When facing Chu Xinyu, she no longer thought about how powerful she was, but was thinking about waiting for Chu Xinyu's identity to be exposed one day.

Qin's mother asked a question last night whether Chu Xinyu was fake, because the Chu Xinyu they met before was really a fool and had nothing to do. Even if she found a nanny to come back to teach them etiquette and righteousness, the nanny was bought by Yuan, so she didn't need to do her best to teach Chu Xinyu.

Chu Xinyu was what they watched as she grew up. No one knew better than them. Even if she suddenly became a child prodigy, it would be impossible for her to learn so many things in just two years.

After this speculation, they recalled Chu Xinyu's attitude towards them after her return and her every move, and the more they felt that she was fake.

So, she won't be angry anymore. As long as she finds out the evidence of her fake, maybe the King of Qin will look at him differently.

"Yes, grandmother, please let my cousin draw a painting for you." Yang Lianxin encouraged her.

Chu Jiayun walked over, took Chu Xinyu's hand and shook, "Fifth sister, I want to see it too. I haven't been to the Baihua Banquet. I can't witness your winnings with my own eyes. Just let us enjoy our eyes here."

The three of them sang and reconciled, and saw the look of expectation on the old lady Chu, Chu Xinyu had to agree.

Madam Sun rushed someone to put on a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Unexpectedly, Yang Lianxin said that it was not necessary. My fifth cousin had her own unique tools, otherwise it would not work.

Chu Xinyu originally wanted to draw a picture with ordinary pen, ink and paper, but when he saw this, he had to let Zhu Bo go back and bring the tools.

Zhu Bo was very reluctant. She now had no good feelings for this cousin and felt that what she had raised would be unhappy and would not want to do so, but she still ran back and brought the tools.

Chu Xinyu glanced at the old lady Chu and began to paint. Everyone stood behind her and looked at her. Seeing that her hands seemed to be magical, she drew the old lady sitting on the old man's bed in a cup of tea, so realistic that even a trace of wrinkles were exactly the same.

When Old Mrs. Chu saw the portrait, her eyes lit up.

Too similar!

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she really couldn't believe it. It was drawn by hand, not copied from the past.

Madam Sun also came over to see it. She looked at the paintings and the old lady, and then praised: "It's very similar, so similar! Even Shen Yun was drawn, and I have lived for most of my life. No one has painted paintings for me. Now it's a treasure of the old lady."

In the portrait, the old lady Chu is sitting on the arhat couch, with a screen of pine and cranes hanging by a lifetime. There are tall places on both sides, and two pots of peony flowers are placed on them. Madam Sun is standing next to her, and Madam Sun is also there in the painting.

There are tables and chairs in the painting, even carpets, incense burners and pastries.

In such a short time, even the headdresses on their heads were not missed. Not to mention the painter's work, just talking about this thought is extremely clever.

Madam Sun praised this and said the old lady was very fond of her.

She looked at Chu Xinyu with a kind look, "I really didn't expect you to have such a skill. We have misjudged you. Who did you learn painting from? The painting teacher we invited from is not of this level?"

"It was my grandson who learned from a master when he was in Puling Temple. Her grandson learned everything she learned." Chu Xinyu still answered the emperor's answer. No matter who asked her, she would answer in a unified way.

Old Mrs. Chu said, "The other party is really a master. He can teach you so well in a short time. If he has the chance, he will also teach the girls in the mansion, such a good skill."

When Yang Lianxin and Chu Jiayun heard it, their eyes lit up, especially Yang Lianxin. When she thought of her boasting about giving away the precious girl's jade bone fans yesterday, she felt scared. Chu Xinyu said that the materials were hard to find, and even if there were materials, it would take at least three months to make one. If she could learn this painting technique, or she could make a deal with them.

Chu Xinyu showed this skill yesterday, which many ladies liked and wanted to learn, but Chu Xinyu said that this skill is unique and would not be passed on without a master's consent. If she finds that master, she can ask.

If Chu Xinyu invites the master to teach them and learns skills from the master, she can secretly teach them the skills, then she will not have to slap them with Jade Bone.

Chu Jiating also wants to learn, but she is not as happy as Yang Lianxin and Chu Jiayun. Chu Jiapeng likes it and likes it, but it doesn’t matter whether she learns or not. If she does, she doesn’t want to learn, she doesn’t want to force her.

Chu Xinyu lowered her eyes and said to the old lady Chu: "Grandma, I'm sorry, she has gone on a tour. I guess she won't come back to the capital in the past few years."

When the old lady Chu heard this, she did not make things difficult for her, "So let's talk about it when she comes to Jinjing."

Yang Lianxin and Chu Jiayun were disappointed.

Chu Jiating glanced at Chu Xinyu, her eyes flashed suddenly, and she suddenly remembered something, and said, "Grandmother, when the fifth sister came back yesterday, she told me that she could get so many rewards this time, and it was all due to her mother who asked her to go to the Duke of Wei's Mansion and met Princess Zhaoyang and others, so she had the opportunity to attend this Hundred Flowers Banquet. She said that in order to repay her mother's love for her, she decided to give the rewarded luminous jade to her mother."

Chu Jiating said what she said was just like Chu Xinyu really said.

Chu Xinyu and Chu Jiapeng were both stunned.

Chu Jiapeng could see that Chu Xinyu didn't like Chu Jiating. Although her relationship with her was not as good as her, she was already very alienated from her. Moreover, the day before yesterday, the eldest uncle's family was completely destroyed by Chu Xinyu's design. Today, it is impossible to say that he would give her the reward.

When Yang Lianxin heard Chu Jiating say that she was anxious. She also liked the luminous jade very much and wanted to take it out, but she knew that she would definitely not be able to come. If Chu Xinyu gave it to the old lady Chu, she would instigate her mother to ask her grandmother to come over. She believed that as long as her mother spoke, she would not refuse to give it to her.

Chu Xinyu looked at Chu Jiating, no wonder she won the prize. She obviously liked it very much, but she didn't like Yang Lianxin. She couldn't wait to ask her to come and see it. It turned out that she was paying attention.

"Wow, is it really? What kind of prize is it? Do you really want to give it to your mother?" Chu Jiayun said happily and curiously.

Chu Jiating said: "It's a pair of jade geese, luminous jade, very beautiful."

Chu Jiayun said with envy, "I have never seen Night Light Jade, Night Pearl, or something, Sister Five, take out Yun'er and take a look."

What a pair of legitimate sisters, they sang and combined, forcing her to take out the night light jade. Their sisters had a very beautiful idea. They thought that if she said this in front of Old Lady Chu, she would hand over the night light jade with both hands?

Before she could speak, Yang Lianxin took the lead and said in surprise: "I thought it was..."

After saying only a few words, Chu Xinyu knew that he was another person who wanted to make the idea of ​​luminous jade.

She quickly interrupted Yang Lianxin's words and smiled: "I originally wanted to give the luminous jade to my grandmother. It was my sister who said that my mother was the greatest contribution to attending the banquet. But I thought that my mother was now being confined by her grandmother. They all thought that I asked for trouble yesterday and asked her to be punished, so I was afraid that my mother would get angry because of this."

"I thought about it last night, and I still gave the luminous jade to my grandmother. My mother made my grandmother angry because of something wrong. In order to make her grandmother angry, she would definitely give the luminous jade to her grandmother. Anyway, they were all given to her grandmother, so I don't have to worry about it. I just went around and gave it to my grandmother."

She knew that someone would covet this luminous jade, so she decided to take it out and respect Old Lady Chu, which is why she did not give jewelry.

There are many jewelry for Mrs. Chu, and she is of a certain age. It is not suitable to wear such gorgeous headdresses. Even if you want them, you will give them to others. Instead of doing this, it is better to give them luminous jade. This will not only help her to be filial to Mrs. Chu, but also to reject these people's covetousness.

Chu Jiating didn't expect Chu Xinyu to fall in front of her grandmother. She said this, not telling her grandmother clearly that she only has her mother, but no grandmother?

But she remembered what her mother said to her and couldn't be angry about anything. Moreover, she was originally making a fool of herself and Chu Xinyutt's fool of herself. If she exposes it, no one will get any benefits, and it will only make her grandmother think that they have no sisterhood.

Chu Xinyu was too lazy to care about her expression and reached out to Zhubo.

Zhu Bo gritted his teeth secretly, and reluctantly presented the luminous jade that Chu Xinxin had finally won back. She knew that it would be useless no matter how reluctant she was, she was just a little maid and had no right to make a decision.

Besides, the old lady treats the girl differently now and starts to love her. If the luminous jade falls into the eldest lady's hands, it will definitely not be able to get it back. If it is in the old lady's hands, she might be able to serve as a dowry for the girl in the future.

After thinking about it this way, she felt that she felt less uncomfortable in handing over the night light jade.

Chu Xinyu took the brocade box and handed it to the old lady Chu with both hands.

Old Mrs. Chu was very happy and felt very comforted by Chu Xinyu's filial piety. If other granddaughters got it, they might not have given it to her. She lived for most of her life, and Ye Mingzhu had only seen him two or three times, and Ye Guangyu was the first time she saw him.

After taking the brocade box, Old Mrs. Chu opened it and looked at it. It was daytime now, and she couldn't tell whether it was light, but she looked very clear. She turned the luminous jade over and looked at it, and suddenly her eyes condensed. What is this?

Chu Jiapeng just now looked very reluctant when she saw Zhubo giving him the night-toned jade. She thought that the prize was originally won by Chu Xinyu for his hard work and given it to her grandmother. She might not return to Chu Xinyu's hands in the future. This has a very good meaning for Yuyan. The girls want to get it when they see it. When she sees the greed in Yang Lianxin's eyes, she will naturally find a way to get it.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Grandmother, I heard that this luminous jade was asked by the Princess of Chu to give it to the best prize winner of painting today as the token of the consular. The fifth sister gave you the token of the consular of the Marquis of Beiping. What if the Marquis of Beiping pursued it, wouldn't it mean that our Marquis's mansion was even greedy for the consular ceremony?"
