Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 11 Drawing for the Maid Xiaodie

Zhen Rong breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhang Sui nod.

She was really worried that Zhang Sui would disagree.

This time, Zhen Rong didn't stay with Zhang Sui for long.

Urging Zhang Sui to finish his soup noodles, Zhen Rong took the bowl of soup and left.

In the dark night, a figure stood in the shadow of the courtyard wall, watching the scene quietly.

It was not until Zhen Rong left that the figure left as well. After walking through the corridors for a few times, he stopped at the door of a room, knocked on the door and said, "Madam, I'm Xiaohong. I've seen who the fifth lady went to meet."

A gentle female voice said, "Come in and talk."

The figure opened the door, went in, and then closed it.

I saw the lady kneeling in front of a desk next to the bed in the room, writing something with a brush on a bamboo slip.

Seeing the figure coming in, the lady stopped writing and asked with frowned eyebrows: "Who did the fifth young lady meet with? What did they do?"

The figure bowed and said, "Miss Fifth brought a bowl of soup noodles to the ancient well outside the residence of the troops."

"I met a man named Zhang Sui, who just joined our Zhen family."

“Nothing special.”

"Miss just asked Zhang Sui to finish his soup noodles."

"Also tell Zhang Sui that she can't go to see him for the next few days, and that she has aroused your suspicion, madam."

The lady laughed out of anger.

My little daughter is only six years old, but she is quite thoughtful.

They all knew that they had become suspicious.

But, after all, he is still just a six-year-old child.

Not well thought out.

Since I have become suspicious, how can I put off solving the problem until later?

However, the lady breathed a sigh of relief.

The man was in the mansion and his identity had been confirmed. He had not done anything excessive to his little daughter.

He has some sense.

Otherwise, today will be the day he dies!
After a brief pause, the lady said, "From now on, monitor Zhang Sui day and night to see what he does every day."

"Report to me at this time every day."

The figure said: "Yes!"

The figure retreated.

The lady watched the figure leave the room and close the door, a hint of curiosity flashing across her pretty face.

The results of today's tracking were somewhat unexpected.

Just joined the Zhen family?
There are still people who can paint?

Moreover, although the painting technique is not very high, it requires some thinking.

She also wanted to see what kind of person this man was.

But in the end, she didn't dwell on it.

Let’s wait and see after a few days of follow-up investigation.

Not everyone is qualified to meet someone in person.

The lady lowered her head, continued to mutter, and then wrote a series of numbers on the bamboo slips with a brush.

On the other side, Zhang Sui returned to his room.

Just as he was about to lie down, he saw the captain Zhen Hao get up and said, "Hey, Zhang Sui, you said during the day that you can draw."

Zhang Sui was about to lie down.

Seeing Captain Zhen Hao asking this, Zhang Sui said, "Yes, what's the matter?"

Zhen Hao scratched his face and said a little embarrassedly: "Well, I'm not as talented as you and I don't know so many words."

"If you're not here one day, I won't be able to listen to you reading that text."

Zhang Sui gave Zhen Hao a knowing smile and said, "Captain, you want me to draw a picture for you, right? Draw a beautiful portrait of a woman. Even if you can't read, you can still appreciate paintings."

Captain Zhen Hao laughed awkwardly when he saw that his little trick had been exposed, but still said with gritted teeth: "That's it."

"I've taken a fancy to a maid in the mansion, her name is Xiaodie." "If possible, I'll ask her to come over tomorrow."

"Help her draw."

"It would be best if I could draw her better."

"I can give you money."

After saying that, Zhen Hao got up from the bed, crawled under the bed, opened the wooden box, took out another roll of silk, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind. He handed it to Zhang Sui and said, "Here, it's three meters long."

"This is my annual salary."

"If you just work as a soldier, it will take you at least three years to get this salary."

“Nowadays, you can get so much just by painting a picture. Is it worth it?”

Zhang Sui chuckled.

This makes sense.

Moreover, this is a chaotic time.

Outside of the Zhen family, where else can you make so much money?
To be honest, this captain is still polite.

Otherwise, if he doesn't give me a cent and forces me to do it, shouldn't I help him draw?
After all, it's under their control.

It's easy for people to make things difficult for you.

Thinking of this, Zhang Sui took the cloth and put it on his bedside. He then handed the ten feet of silk that Captain Zhen Hao had given him when he was writing Liu Bei's article to Captain Zhen Hao and said, "Captain, you are too polite."

"You are my captain, and there are so many things we need to help each other."

"How dare I ask you for so much?"

"That's enough."

"Tell Xiaodie to come over tomorrow and I'll help her draw."

"Just, don't blame me if the painting isn't very good, Captain."

Captain Zhen Hao grinned, patted Zhang Sui on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay!"

"To be honest, I found you pleasing to the eye the first time I saw you."

The two chatted for a while before going to sleep.

Before going to bed, Zhang Sui touched the silk on the bedside, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

What a great way to make money!
With this silk, I can save a little in the next few years and won't have to go hungry.

Early the next morning, Zhang Sui and others were woken up to continue practicing martial arts.

Still doing horse stance.

Early in the morning, after finishing the first meal of the day, everyone found a place to rest for a while.

Captain Zhen Hao called over a chubby, seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman with pockmarks all over her face.

But he did not enter the courtyard where the troops were.

The woman named Xiaodie didn't dare to come in.

Captain Zhen Hao could only let her kneel down on the grass outside the arch.

Afterwards, Captain Zhen Hao personally built a desk with stones and wooden boards, and brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone to Zhang Sui, asking Zhang Sui to draw for Xiaodie.

Zhang Sui broke off a small piece of branch, found team leader Zhen Hao, and directed him to sharpen the branch into the shape of a pencil, then dipped it in ink and started painting.

Xiaodie knelt on the grass, watching Zhang Sui drawing while staring at her from time to time, her face flushed red.

The troops gathered inside the arch, looking at the scene, drooling with envy.

I don’t just envy Captain Zhen Hao for being able to call the maid Xiaodie to draw.

I was even more envious of Zhang Sui's ability to draw people.

The figure arranged by the madam stood in the distance, looking at the situation here. After a while, she left and found the madam, and told her what Zhang Sui, Captain Zhen Hao and others were doing.

Madam said, "Tell Xiaodie to get a portrait and send it to me in the evening."

The figure responded.

Zhang Sui was painting seriously when he saw another maid coming over and whispering something into Xiaodie's ear.

Xiaodie glanced at the maid in surprise.

Still, she nodded quickly.
