"Mom, I'll take Sister Xi to my place. You can take a walk and rest early." The eldest lady came over and asked the old lady.

"Okay." The old lady watched Zhu and Xu Xi go out, looked at the sky and sighed, patted Grandma Jin's hand and said, "Please help me go back to the house to rest."

The eldest lady took Xu Xi back and dismissed all the maids and women in the courtyard, leaving only Grandma Zhou.

She said to Xu Xi: "It's been a long time. I was in a daze at the time and didn't have a deep impression of her. It might be more difficult for us to recall and draw at the same time."

"It doesn't matter, take your time." Xu Xi smiled.

She would not draw based on the memories of the eldest lady and Aunt Zhou, but on the descriptions given by the system. Even if the drawn portraits were not exact images, they would still be eighty-nine percent similar.

Aunt Zhou was the main one, and the eldest lady would add a few words from time to time. The two of them recalled and described, and Xu Xi drew based on their descriptions.

"...Her face is a bit round, and her eyes are neither big nor small; her nose is also very average, not very straight, but not flat either, just average." This is the description of Grandma Zhou.

If she were to draw a person based on her description, Xu Xi would have no idea how to draw.

For example, Grandma Zhou and Grandma Li both have ordinary looks, but the reason why people can recognize them at a glance and not mistake them for each other is that they naturally have their differences and characteristics.

But according to Grandma Zhou's description, they might just look the same.

The systematic description is as follows: "The round face is similar to Mr. Xie's, but the forehead is slightly longer and the chin is not so round. The eyes are somewhat similar to Mrs. Chen's, but slightly thinner than hers, and there are a few holes in the corners of the eyes.

A wrinkle..."

Xu Xi reminded: "What they drew is a younger version of Wen Po. You can't rely on her current appearance. You can infer from her current appearance to when she was younger. When I draw the young Wen Po, I can then rely on your description."

Draw an elderly version.”

Based on the descriptions of Grandma Zhou and the First Lady, she ended up drawing an older version of Po Wen's portrait. Doesn't it arouse suspicion? So this matter really cannot be done overnight.

It never hurts to make a few more turns and put in a little more effort.

So after Grandma Zhou's stumbling and very vague descriptions, Madam Dafu's occasional confusion in the wrong direction, and systematic and precise corrections, before dark, Xu Xi finally drew a portrait of the young version of Po Wen.

"Yes, that's her, that's her." Grandma Zhou looked at the portrait Xu Xi handed her and exclaimed in surprise, "Let me tell you, that's what she looks like."

Xu Xi smiled bitterly.

What does "just look like this" mean? If we go by Grandma Zhou's description, the person she painted is definitely another person.

"Is this the Wen Po from fourteen years ago? As you get older, your appearance will change. For example, your figure will become slightly fatter, your eyelids will droop a bit, the corners of your mouth will turn down, and there will be some wrinkles at the corners of your eyes..." Xu Xi began to guide consciously

.

The eldest lady looked at Aunt Zhou: "Yes. That Wen Po is about the same age as Aunt Zhou. Aunt Zhou's appearance has changed somewhat from fourteen years ago."

Aunt Zhou touched her face and said nothing.

She feels that she is still very young and should not have changed much...right?

Xu Xi also looked at Aunt Zhou carefully, nodded and said: "Let's go into the house. With this as a background, I will soon be able to draw a portrait of Po Wen's current appearance."

"Is it too late?" the eldest lady hesitated.

"It's not too late. Soon." Xu Xi waved his hand.

The eldest lady then entered the house and asked Grandma Zhou to light a few lamps to illuminate the house brightly.

Xu Xi quickly drew the base and drew another portrait based on the portrait just now and the supplements given by the system. This portrait was of great importance, so she paid special attention. By the time she finished the painting, almost half an hour had passed. Zhou

Grandma took a nap, and Mrs. Zhu could hardly open her eyes.

"Okay." She handed the painting to the eldest lady, looked at the eldest lady who suddenly woke up, and reminded her, "I think it is impossible for that Wen Po to disappear out of thin air. She must have someone to rely on wherever she goes, so she will never miss a chance.

She went to a strange place for no reason. After all, she still had a family to take care of. If you want to check her out, aunt, you might as well check what relatives she has, and then take this portrait and go in the direction of where her relatives are to look for her.

Even if the name is changed, the appearance cannot be changed. It may be easier to find clues this way."

"Don't worry, I will dig deep into the ground to find her." The eldest lady said as if she was swearing.

After handing the portrait to the eldest lady and mentioning this, Xu Xi knew that she could no longer interfere in this matter. Otherwise, even if Wen Po was found, there would still be no conclusion to the matter because she was suspicious of her.

, then isn’t she working for free?

Whether we can find out or not, we can only leave it to chance.

She returned to Pinming Residence, washed up, and finished painting Mr. Kang's portrait in two or three strokes before going to bed.

Early the next morning, she went to say hello to the old lady. The old lady specially left her to have breakfast. She hesitated during breakfast, probably because she wanted to ask about the portrait. Xu Xi just pretended not to see it, and ate hard until she was full.

Pushing the bowl, he said: "Old madam, I'm going to the academy. I still have homework to do today."

The old lady had no choice but to let him go: "Go ahead and be careful on the road."

Xu Xi took a carriage to Beining County. As soon as he entered the academy, before he had time to say hello to the woman guarding the gate, Mr. Kang's maid whom he had met yesterday came up to her: "Miss Xu, my master sent a slave to ask for the painting from the girl.

"

Xu Xi: "..." Isn't this old man too impatient? Fortunately, she worked all night to finish the painting, otherwise she wouldn't be able to hand in the work today.

She took out the painting tube and handed it to the maid: "Excuse me, sister."

The maid thanked her and hurried away with the painting tube.

Xu Xi walked inside for a while, and when she approached the teaching building, she saw another woman walking over in a hurry. She looked closely and saw that it was the woman next to Mrs. Cui. Xu Xi immediately understood her purpose.

She originally planned to go to Mrs. Cui's place to give her a reply at noon, but she didn't expect Mrs. Cui to wait any longer.

Xu Xi quickly took the initiative to greet her, and without waiting for her mother-in-law to speak, she asked with a smile: "Mom, is Mrs. Cui already in the academy? I was worried that she hadn't arrived yet, and was planning to go find her at noon. Now she is

It would be great to be in the academy."

The mother-in-law was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face and she said: "That's a coincidence. My wife is also looking for a girl. If the girl has nothing else to do, please come with me to meet my wife."

"It's okay. It's still early before class." Xu Xi said, taking the initiative to turn around and go to the courtyard where Mrs. Cui was.
