Chapter 279 - 279: Anxious
However, he had obviously changed his direction today. He was basically walking in circles around the martial arts field.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the two of them were having a good time fighting, and the sword had no eyes, he might have been killed or hacked by mistake if he accidentally moved closer. He wished he could get closer and walk around Xiao Baoxin.
Even after taking a big detour, his eyes never left Xiao Baoxin.
The dark purple figure moved around the martial arts field. Its attacks were swift and fierce. Its posture was graceful, and its eyes were like knives, even sharper than knives. It forced Youmei to retreat step by step.
That aura, that look, that-ah?
Everything was so dazzling.
Xie Xian’s eyes almost turned into stars. Little fan boy, his eyes were almost glued to Xiao Baoxin. He felt proud in his heart. Such an outstanding and brilliant lady was his wife! It was his!
Xiao Baoxin saw that Youmei couldn’t take it anymore, so he put away his knife and practiced two sets of boxing. After sweating all over, he went back to his room to wash up.
“Shall we go?” Xiao Baoxin turned around and asked.
Xie Xian calculated the time. It had not even been an hour. He was a good young man who was strict with himself and did what he said.”Walk with me for another hour.”
11 H
Xiao Baoxin rolled his eyes at him, but in the end, he still obeyed him.
Xie Xian thought,”Even the way she rolls her eyes is so beautiful. There’s no one else.”
Xiao Baoxin was instantly pleased by Xie Xian’s inner thoughts. He gently and softly walked in circles with Xie Xian in the courtyard. When they had enough time, the two of them returned to their room. They washed up briefly and ate half a bowl of bean porridge to fill their stomachs. He wasn’t too full, so he had to pay his respects to the Grand Madame in a while. He usually had to leave breakfast at the Grand Madame’s place.
“Today, 1 will go with you to pay my respects to Grandmother.”
Xie Xian went up to Xiao Baoxin when she was dressing up and insisted on drawing her brows.”The ancients often talked about the joy of drawing eyebrows in the boudoir. Today, Qing Qing, let me enjoy it.”
Cai Wei gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. She was snatching this job and even wanted to make her maidservants die?!
He fell.
This was too much of a bully. The dowry maid from the Xiao family was probably the first person to lose her job because of the main family!
Through the bronze mirror, Xiao Baoxin saw Cai Wei’s aggrieved face and almost burst out laughing. However, it was rare for Xie Xian to have such an idea, so he did not want to dampen his enthusiasm. After all, he was the master and also wanted to save face. It was not good to directly reject him.
“Alright.”
Cai Wei responded and retreated to the side, preparing to watch a good show. She did not believe that her husband could do everything to the best of his abilities. This was not a good job that a man could do. What boudoir fun? Did they not have enough fun in their boudoir?!
As expected, Xie Xian confidently picked up the eyebrow pencil and drew Xiao Baoxin’s eyebrows, which originally only needed to be simply outlined, into a super-thick straight eyebrow.
It was only at this moment that Xiao Baoxin realized the importance of an eyebrow to her. It could completely destroy her beauty and turn her into a bandit who occupied the mountain.
He was most afraid of the sudden silence in the air.
Xie Xian and Xiao Baoxin looked at each other. He patted her hand comfortingly.
“Will I get beaten up?”
“You drew her so ugly?”
‘The so-called pleasure of the boudoir, how much pain must one endure before success…Who could say something to break the awkward atmosphere?’
‘My hand seems to be shaking a little…’
“This servant will go fetch water and help Furen to freshen up.”Without waiting for Xiao Baoxin to reply, Cai Wei lowered her head and walked out of the room.
Xie Xian praised her in his heart for having good eyes. She would be rewarded later. Luckily, Cai Wei broke the silence first. Little did he know that Cai Wei had no choice but to laugh on the spot. However, she really could not hold it in and could only take the initiative to come out and get a basin of water.
However, Youmei, who had worked hard to bring the tea in, did not greet her. When she saw Xiao Baoxin’s eyebrows, she was stunned. She did not realize that the corners of her mouth were almost reaching her ears.
“Master, Madam, please have some tea.”
Xie Xian looked at her sinisterly.” You may leave.””
“Yes.” Youmei walked out with a smile on her face.
Xiao Baoxin pinched Xie Xian’s arm and said,”Look at how you drew my eyebrows. Did you not do it on purpose?”lt was so embarrassing. He would never forget it even if he had Mei in his life.
This girl only remembered these embarrassing things. She had a good memory.
When it came to serious matters, he could not count on her anymore.
“Isn’t this my first time drawing eyebrows for someone? I will work hard to improve in the future and strive to draw the most beautiful eyebrows for Qingqing.”Xie Xian put down his eyebrow pencil as if he was holding a hot potato in his hand.
“This is completely different from painting…My paintings are still pretty good, but I didn’t expect them to be completely useless in my hands if I used a paintbrush.”
He was being modest. His paintings were not just for show. Even the Emperor Yu Heng praised him for his talent in painting and calligraphy and accepted two of his paintings. He was also the one who wrote the poem dedicated to Noble Consort Liu.
However, this eyebrow drawing was really detrimental to his reputation. It was simply unsightly.
Xiao Baoxin couldn’t bear to look into the mirror anymore. It was such a stroke that made those who saw it sad and those who heard it cry.
Fortunately, Cai Wei had returned quickly. After helping her wash up, her brush seemed to have been aided by the gods. She painted Xiao Baoxin with the popular peach blossom makeup, making his dignified, dignified, and elegant face as beautiful as a peach blossom, making him look noble and cold.
In order not to let Xie Xian snatch her job, Cai Wei also went all out.
“This…” Xie Xian hesitated slightly.
“Not good?” If Xie Xian had said no, Xiao Baoxin would have been able to confirm that his taste was different from ordinary people. How beautiful. She stared at the bronze mirror so hard that she could not take her eyes off it. Which young lady was so good-looking!?
“No, it’s too beautiful.” Xie Xian couldn’t go against his conscience and speak. It was just that when he left the residence, he would never let his wife put on such makeup. It was too ostentatious and too eye-catching.
Seeing that it was almost time, Xiao Baoxin changed his clothes and urged Xie Xian to go out. On the way to Yi An Hall, he received the stunning gazes of countless maids and old women.
These days, they were used to seeing Xiao Baoxin’s stunning beauty and thought that they were used to it. However, after changing her makeup, it was as if she had changed her face. They could not help but be stunned.
Xiao Baoxin practiced martial arts every day and woke up early, so she was always the first to pay her respects to Mother Xie.
However, when she arrived today, Madam Wang was already there. Sitting in her arms was a two-year-old young master. He was thin and weak, and his face was slightly yellow. His appearance was decent, and he had delicate features.
It must be Tiedan, the son of the Third Concubine Zhou.
Xiao Baoxin’s arrival clearly interrupted Madam Wang’s words. After Xie Xian and Xiao Baoxin greeted Mother Xie and Madam Wang in turn, Madam Wang was the first to speak. It could not be said that she was not anxious.
“.. I listened to my mother’s words and brought Tiedan back to my room to raise him. All the food, clothing, and food were given to my Di son. Today, he came to reply to his mother. He wanted her to make a decision on whether or not he should announce it in front of the ancestral tablets at home, and then choose a day to return to Xiapi to worship his ancestors and submit the clan certificate..”
