The sisters of the Qi family were very happy to hear that Qi Xuan was selected by the school to participate in the county's calligraphy competition.

Qi Huang also heard about this, and was half jealous.

If it was anything else, she still wanted to compete with Qi Xuan, but calligraphy, she could only sigh.

and Qi Hui secretly kept cursing Qi Xuan for throwing a big face back in the county, and it was better not to even have an encouragement award.

This time, the school selected three students to participate in the county calligraphy competition, which was led by the principal himself.

Saturday, early in the morning.

Qi Xuan handed over all the books he borrowed last time to Qi Yang and Qi Sha, and asked the two of them to go to the library to return them.

They didn't charge half a penny for borrowing books, and they also applied for reading cards.

They can't be ignorant, they don't return the book after taking it, although Qi Xuan hasn't finished reading it, but borrowing and returning it is the norm.

So Qi Xuan asked Qi Yang Qi Sha to return the book.

After lunch, Qi Xuan went to school to meet with two other classmates.

Seeing that everyone arrived, the principal talked about the rules of this competition, which belonged to the calligraphy competition for primary and secondary school students, and the comparison between primary school students and primary school students, and the comparison between middle school students and middle school students.

After saying this, the principal said some rules and regulations, which are nothing more than to follow the team closely, not to go out alone, and to talk to the principal about everything.

After explaining this, the headmaster set off with the three of them.

Of the three students, two were male students, and only one was Qi Xuan.

The other two male students are both older than Qi Xuan, both of them are Qi Yang's class, and they can be said to be Qi Yang's classmates.

After the principal's introduction, Qi Xuan learned that the one with a flat head was called Li Hong, and the boy with slightly longer hair was called Feng Sheng.

"Qi Xuan, who taught you calligraphy with a brush? I learned it from my grandfather since I was a child. Li Hong approached Qi Xuan.

Because the principal said that Qi Xuan's handwriting was quite good, he was a little unconvinced, you must know that he had been practicing calligraphy since he was four years old.

He heard Qi Yang say that Qi Xuan hadn't learned much calligraphy at all, just imagine a person who has no one to teach and doesn't practice calligraphy at home, how can he write well with a brush?

"Qi Xuan, do you know what his grandfather did, that's why he wrote a good brush?" Feng Sheng asked with a grin.

He didn't look down on Qi Xuan, his family told him since he was a child, and he couldn't look down on others casually outside, because he wouldn't know how much others would achieve in the future.

"What for?" Qi Xuan asked.

"His grandfather, he wrote elegiac essays for people, so he practiced a good hand. ”

"Hmph, you seem to be very tall, Qi Xuan, do you know what Feng Sheng's family does?" Li Hong was not convinced, but also revealed Feng Sheng's family history.

"My family is a fortune teller, and most of the people in the village have their names. Without waiting for Li Hong to reveal the answer, Feng Sheng revealed the answer himself.

I see, one is to write an elegy for someone at home, and the other is to tell fortunes, these people all need writing skills, no wonder these two people were selected to participate in the competition together!

"Qi Xuan, who did you learn to write from?" Li Hong asked again unconvinced.

"Aren't you my sister's classmates?" didn't my sister tell you?" Qi Xuan asked rhetorically.

"Your sister said you didn't learn. ”

"I didn't learn from anyone else, I copied the calligraphy at home. Qi Xuan had already thought of his words.

In fact, her handwriting was not necessarily good in the Song Dynasty, it may be similar to what ordinary readers wrote, at most it was written more prescriptions.

But who made no one in this world write a brush?

Li Hong: "......"

Feng Sheng: "......"

The two of them thought to themselves, if you didn't learn from others, would the principal and teacher be blind?

But this is never something to say in front of the principal.

It was already afternoon when I arrived in the county by boat, and the principal took the three of them into a school and arranged them in the school's dormitory.

Obviously, the headmaster had already greeted people, so this is why this is so appropriate.

"Thank you, old fellow!"

The principal greets a teacher of the same age as the school.

"No thanks, who are the two of us! I admire you, you have been teaching on the island for so many years!"

"In fact, the conditions on the island are not bad, and now the teaching buildings have been renovated, they are all two-story buildings, and our dormitories are much better than before. ”

The principal talked about the conditions of the school now, in fact, Xiaoyang Island is still a relatively wealthy island, and the conditions are good compared to other islands.

"But it's hard, look at your wife, she could have had a stable job in the county.

In order to reunite with you, I can only quit my job and become a housewife.

If your son had gone to school in the county, he wouldn't have just been admitted to a third-rate university. You've given too much!" the teacher sighed.

Qi Xuan listened to the conversation between the two at the door and also had some understanding of the principal.

The current teaching system is somewhat similar to her time, but it is different.

For example, in the Song Dynasty, there was a local government school administrative system, and in addition to private schools, there were also public schools, and private schools were run by prestigious families, and public schools were divided into county schools and state schools, which were somewhat similar to today's teaching system of elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools.

As for the gentlemen, they are recruited by their respective county schools and state schools. In addition, the school has special school fields, and the income from these lands is used for the daily expenses of the school.

Therefore, during the Song Dynasty, the local government rarely worried about the cost of teaching, and it was only later that the Song Dynasty was dragged down by the war, and the study and politics were interrupted many times.

In the evening, dinner was served in the school cafeteria.

After eating, the principal took the three of them to an empty classroom, where pens, ink, and paper were ready.

"I'm going to the competition tomorrow, the three of you will practice at night, and I'll give you some guidance at the end. Don't be nervous tomorrow, it's best to have a ranking, don't be discouraged if you don't have a ranking, as long as the competition shows the style of our Xiaoyangdao Central Primary School. The headmaster finally cheered the three of them up.

"Got the headmaster!"

Feng Sheng and Li Hong spoke in unison, only Qi Xuan was already writing.

In addition to writing calligraphy in the art class of the school, she has not used a brush to write in general, and her words should also be selected for the art class.

It's okay to just write a little casually, but if you want to win a prize, you still have to practice more.

Qi Xuan doesn't underestimate the people in this world, otherwise how were those so-called aircraft cannons made?

Modern medicine, in their time, said that which part of the body was not good to change it, it was simply a fantasy, but now that medical skills have actually done it, Qi Xuan feels that this world is simply amazing.

Picking up the pen, she began to write, and she wrote in thin gold fonts.

I have to say that Song Huizong was a failed emperor as an emperor, but he was recognized in his attainments in calligraphy and painting.

The thin gold body also caused quite a stir in the literary world at that time, attracting many people to imitate it.
