Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 12 Zhen Mi: See who this mysterious person is
Neither Zhang Sui nor team leader Zhen Hao felt anything unusual.

Zhang Sui continued painting.

Captain Zhen Hao stood aside, admiring the paintings of Zhang Sui and Xiaodie.

It took nearly two hours before Zhang Sui finally finished painting Xiaodie.

He nodded with satisfaction.

They are 80% similar.

If this is painted, the effect will be better.

But now it's obviously not.

Zhang Sui blew the ink carefully while saying to Xiaodie and team leader Zhen Hao, "It's done."

Captain Zhen Hao exclaimed in amazement: "Not bad! This is the first time I've seen someone draw something so similar!"

Xiaodie also stood up and walked over.

Looking at her own portrait on the paper, Xiaodie blushed.

Growing up, she had never thought that there was a maid like her who specialized in painting.

However, she quickly came to her senses and said to Captain Zhen Hao and Zhang Sui: "I want to keep this portrait. I wonder if I can--"

Captain Zhen Hao hurriedly looked at Zhang Sui.

Zhang continued to blow the ink and smiled, "No problem. Give me an hour and a half this time, and I will copy this portrait."

Xiaodie smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you then."

Pointing behind her, Xiaodie said, "I've been here for a long time."

"Well, I'll go and get busy first. When you're done, bring the portrait to find me there."

Captain Zhen Hao nodded and said, "Okay."

Only then did Xiaodie leave slowly.

Captain Zhen Hao watched Xiaodie leave reluctantly.

Zhang Sui joked, "Captain likes this Miss Xiaodie?"

Captain Zhen Hao didn't hesitate and nodded, "I can't say I like you."

"It can only be said to be one-sided admiration!"

"We are all rough men who can't read a single word."

"My head is always hanging on my waist, and I could lose my life at any time."

"So, I don't even dare to think about starting a family."

Look inside the arch behind you.

The troops who had come to watch the fun had already left.

These troops need to practice martial arts and maintain their strength, so they dare not be as leisurely as him and Zhang Sui.

Captain Zhen Hao said with a gloomy expression: "Take them for example. Do you know why they were so anxious after hearing what you wrote, but no one ever thought of looking for the maid in the mansion?"

"Except that I feel unworthy of the maids in the mansion."

"The other is that I'm afraid I might lose my life at any time."

"In these troubled times, if a woman gets married and has a child, and her man dies, it's like the sky is falling."

Zhang Sui's originally joking expression turned silent at this moment.

indeed.

Now is the end of the Han Dynasty.

According to historical records, during the reign of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this land had a population of over 5600 million.

After this period at the end of the Han Dynasty, when the final three parts were returned to the Jin Dynasty, there were only less than 800 million people left!
Cao Cao also wrote in his poem: "Bone bones are exposed in the wild, and no rooster crows for a thousand miles."

Throughout the late Han Dynasty, various large-scale wars resulted in the deaths of a large number of people.

As for Cao Cao, this beast, he allowed his generals to commit several massacres!
It is so difficult for ordinary people to survive in this chaotic world.

Even so, two thousand years later, there are still countless keyboard warriors talking about this: if they could travel through time, they would be willing to help Cao Cao unify the country.

But they never thought that after traveling through time, most people can only be Cao Cao's two-legged sheep!
Zhang Sui patted the captain Zhen Hao on the shoulder and said, "How should I put it? When life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest. When there are flowers to be picked, you should pick them immediately, and don't wait until there are no flowers left to pluck."

Captain Zhen Hao perked up instantly, pointing at the portrait and saying, "This, write this down, write it next to the portrait!"

Captain Zhen Hao exclaimed: "Zhang Sui, you are really a talent. Not only can you write articles, but you can also draw!"

Zhang Sui groaned.

The sad feeling that had just been created was instantly dispelled.

Zhang Sui did not hesitate and directly wrote these words in the empty space next to the portrait.

After finishing writing, Zhang Sui took out a blank piece of paper and began to copy the portrait.

It took less than half an hour to finish copying.

Captain Zhen Hao took the portrait and hid it inside.

He can treasure this portrait of Xiaodie for the rest of his life.

Whenever you feel lonely in the future, you can take it out and look at it carefully.

After hiding the portrait, Captain Zhen Hao took Zhang Sui out of the courtyard and went to the courtyard in front to look for Xiaodie.

Although Zhang Sui has been in Zhen Mansion for several days.

However, it was the first time that Zhang Sui left the courtyard of his troops!

These days, he has been practicing martial arts in the courtyard of his troops.

After leaving, he discovered that the Zhen Mansion was not only luxurious from the outside, but also extremely grand inside.

Corridors everywhere.

Flowers, plants and trees everywhere.

There were maids everywhere, all fully dressed, young and pretty, like delicate flowers. Zhang Sui couldn't help but think of the women among the refugees who had just crossed over.

Whether old women or young girls, they were all dirty and skinny.

Zhang Sui sighed secretly.

If a woman from two thousand years later also traveled through time like me, becoming a maid in the Zhen family would probably be the limit.

These maids are all busy with their own things.

Only when Zhang Sui and team leader Zhen Hao came over did some eyes look over.

However, there is no emotional color in it.

Captains Zhen Hao and Zhang Sui quickly found Xiaodie and gave her the finished portrait.

Zhang Sui and captain Zhen Hao then left.

The two of them had not gone far when the maids all gathered around and surrounded Xiaodie.

Looking at the portrait in Xiaodie's hand, the maids cried out in delight.

"Xiaodie, your portrait? Someone actually painted your portrait!"

“What a beautiful painting!”

“Who drew this?”

"Draw me one too!"

Xiaodie couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

Looking at the portrait, Xiaodie said with a look of pride and shyness: "The captain asked the soldier named Zhang Sui to draw it. That Zhang Sui looked very thin, but I didn't expect that he had such a talent."

The maids became more and more amazed.

I didn't expect that such a genius could emerge from that group of rough guys.

Just as the maids were chatting and chatting, a figure walked over.

Someone said "The Second Young Miss is here", and the maids' faces suddenly changed. They lowered their heads and dispersed, returning to their posts to get busy.

Xiaodie's face also turned a little pale.

However, she didn't leave.

She has someone to rely on in her heart.

Because the portrait in my hand was what the lady wanted.

The second lady Zhen Mi came over.

Xiaodie hurriedly bowed and said, "Second Miss!"

There was no sign of anger on Zhen Mi's cold and pretty face.

Her eyes swept over the paper in Xiaodie's hand.

He reached out and took the paper from Xiaodie.

Xiaodie said hurriedly: "This is what the Madam wanted, and she asked me to deliver it."

Zhen Mi ignored Xiaodie and just looked at the portrait carefully.

Although she is a woman.

However, as the second daughter of the Zhen family, she studied hard since she was young.

When my father was alive, he teased her, saying that as a woman, she had no talent but virtue, so why should she study? She always retorted.

She had always believed that women should study harder, especially if they were born into a prestigious family like the Zhen family.

The reason is simple.

A lady from a wealthy family like her will only marry into a wealthy family of equal status in the future.

If you want to live in a big family without studying, you will have no talent, be unable to distinguish right from wrong, and what's the point of having an air of being raised well since childhood?

Just like the bamboo, it has a pointed mouth, thick skin and a hollow belly.

Once an emergency occurs and you need to make a decision, if you don’t read, you can only cry and wait for others to rescue you.

But in an emergency, human nature is selfish and everyone is thinking about protecting themselves. Who would care about you, a woman?
There is a great possibility that you will be regarded as a burden and abandoned, and the outcome can be imagined.

Therefore, studying is also a way to plan a way of life for the future.

The same is true.

After my father and elder brother passed away one after another, the Zhen family could only rely on my mother to support them.

In the beginning, my mother cried every day.

Fortunately, she read a lot of books, suppressed her sadness, took emergency action, and overcame the difficulty with her mother.

Even her mother often said that she was much better than her second brother, but it was a pity that she was a girl. Otherwise, with her, the Zhen family would have a bright future.

However, even though she studied hard and read so many books, Zhen Mi had never seen the style of the painting on this paper.

Also, what are the words written next to the painting?
She can't even recognize a few words!
Moreover, writing has always been done vertically, from right to left since ancient times.

But the words on this portrait are written horizontally!
Also, this character is neither small seal script nor official script.

In fact, it was not any kind of writing she had ever seen.

But it also looks a bit like official script.

It's not just random writing.

Zhen Mi suddenly thought of the painting on her younger sister Zhen Rong's palm-leaf fan.

Both of them are of the same style.

Xiaodie said, is this what mother wants?
That means mother has already found out who the other person is?
Handing the portrait back to Xiaodie, Zhen Mi said, "You go!"

I will ask my mother in the evening to find out who this mysterious man who is seducing me is.
