CHAPTER XXII

Li Wanmu was helped back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info was still crying after getting into the carriage, Li Wanhan tried her best to make her laugh, and the best way to comfort her was to divert her attention. Li Wanmu was quickly attracted by Li Wanhan, and forgot her sadness for a short time. Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and Lin Xiuru already knew about it when she went home. After Li Wanmu saw Lin Xiuru, she finally calmed down and cried again, and her motherly words turned into howling and crying. Lin Xiuru did not condemn her, and stood at the door to pick her up for the first time.

"Come, mother will carry you down." Lin Xiuru stretched out her hand, Li Wanmu took her hand and threw herself into her arms. Lin Xiuru gently touched her shoulder, "Let's talk about it when we go in." Li Wanhan quietly followed behind as a wallflower.

At night, Lin Xiuru stayed in Guizi Lianzhou for the first time, Li Wanying and Li Wanhan were lying on the windowsill looking at Li Wanmu's brightly lit window, Li Wanying asked in a low voice: "Eldest sister will be fine." Li Wanhan spread her hair and looked worried, "Probably not." In fact, in the end, Li Qingxu also praised the eldest sister. But the eldest sister may not have heard. ”

"Egret Academy is terrifying." Li Wanying stuck out her tongue.

The candle flame flickered, and Li Wanmu sat meekly on the edge of the bed, her eyes moist and slightly red. Lin Xiuru said: "Do you still want to cry?" Li Wanmu shook her head and said embarrassedly: "Don't cry." "Can you tell my mother why she is crying?" Whether he cried because he was reprimanded by Mr. Li, or cried because he didn't play the piano well. She pinned her daughter's hair, Li Wanmu lowered her head and thought for a while, and spit out two words: "Grievance." I just think ......" Li Wanmu looked blank, "Am I really bad?" Is it really because of my dad that everyone praises me? As he spoke, his eyes turned red again.

Lin Xiuru knows Li Wanmu's pride and confidence in her talent. Li Qingxu pinched the root very accurately, and in the few words that seemed to be angry, every word was a blow to Li Wanmu's self-esteem, and he wanted to frustrate Li Wanmu's pride from the root. Lin Xiuru was thoughtful, did Li Qingxu want to teach Mu'er.

No one polishes a piece of jade for no reason.

"Do you want your mother to affirm you?" Lin Xiuru asked calmly: "If my mother's approval makes you feel at ease." Mother can proudly tell you that you are my most outstanding daughter. Mother, father, your grandfather, and grandfather give you resources that others can't enjoy. But you make all these things your own. You have studied poetry and books with Confucianism, learned piano music with Mrs. Xu, and learned from the most famous embroidery girl in the world. Later, when they left, did you return what you learned? ”

"Nope! I'm very serious about learning. Li Wanmu couldn't help but argue.

"So what do you care?"

"But Mr. Li is a qin immortal. He said, he said......"

"He said you played badly. Is there a mistake? Mr. Li is the most famous piano master in the world, and the people who make a living from his piano skills are like ants in his eyes. Mrs. Xu is his apprentice, and you are his apprentice's apprentice. Your ancestor scolded you, is it wrong? ”

Li Wan was like an empowerment, and muttered: "Yes, although I play the piano not badly, in Mr. Li's eyes, in his realm." I'm just a babbling kid, and I'm just getting started with my piano skills. She wiped away her tears and rekindled her fighting spirit: "Mother, I understand." Don't worry about me. I will definitely be admitted to Egret Academy and do my best to worship Mr. Li. Let him impress me. ”

"That's good." Lin Xiuru still looked at her gently, and said, "Mr. Li is a proud person, and the court has been rejected to hire him as a royal musician. His disciples have accepted two apprentices so far, all by fate. Therefore, the facilitation of this matter can only rely on your efforts, and your father and mother cannot give you any useful help. ”

"I know I'm going to do it myself."

The next day, Li Wanhan saw that Li Wanmu had regained her previous spirit, and couldn't help but sigh at the magic of maternal love.

The last of the five subjects was calligraphy and painting, and the invigilators of the first four subjects came. The results of the top five subjects will be announced before the selection so that students can measure and grasp them. Li Wanmu still paints and walks, and the "Cicada in Autumn" is my tune. Dip the ink and paint a painting of "Spring Breeze Pushing the Boat into the West Pond". Confidently handed, when facing Li Qingxu, he was humble and polite, and smiled skillfully.

Li Wanhan has already received the red scroll for Li Wanmu, and the red scroll of Egret Academy is the transcript. After the invigilator announces the results, Li Wanmu will hand in the red paper, and someone will record the results next to her. Li Wanhan pressed her chest, fluttering and jumping, Li Wanhan felt nervous that the teacher announced the results one by one.

Nearly 300 students took the exam today, and it took 10 days for the five subjects to be announced one by one. The Egret Academy is not afraid of trouble and insists on such an inefficient announcement.

"Li Wanhan."

"Here."

The female red invigilator asked her with a smile: "How do you think you did in the exam?" Kind and gentle, while taking the small scroll the size of a palm, Li Wanhan tiptoed to look at it. It feels like a palm-sized small holy decree, silk embroidery, the art totem of Li characters embroidered on the back, and the name of Li Wanmu and a poem that I don't know what are engraved on both sides of the scroll. Li Wanmu said truthfully: "It may not be good." Time was so tight that I didn't even have time to embroider the last one. The invigilator nodded: "I have to work hard in the future, Li Wanhan, and the female red department won the top class." ”

Li Wanmu was overjoyed to take the silk shaft, but did not unfold it. See the inscription underneath the scroll: Hold on to preconceptions. Li Wanhan danced for a long time, and Li Wanmu finally knew to give Li Wanhan a look. What does that mean? Is everyone the same? Li Wanhan pointed to the lettering and looked left and right. Li Wanmu said lightly: "It's my evaluation." ”

The transcript of the Book of Poetry looks like a movable type printing board, and the back is the appearance of the book cover, engraved with the Book of Poetry, and the front is densely engraved with what Li Wanhan didn't see clearly, only heard the most critical two words. "Shangjia."

The ceremonial transcript is particularly long like the Little Golden Man Award, which is not carved according to Li Wanhan's appearance, but looks more like wholesale production. Only the lettering at the bottom is different, and Li Wanmu is still a beautiful "upper armor".

During the piano music, Li Wanhan mustered up the courage to stand in front of Li Qingxu, who was holding something like a sandalwood bookmark in his hand, and the back was decorated with a piano pattern. Li Qingxu's voice was slow, "You are the first person to get a nail in my hands." It turned out that Lin Wanyi last year should have been this achievement, but she was originally my apprentice, and she was still playing the wrong tone in public. Therefore, he was given a lower armor as a punishment. It's good that you're standing here today. deserves the honor of being the first one. Ignoring Li Wanmu's stunned eyes, he solemnly handed the wooden card in his hand to her.

Li Wanmu panicked to pick it up. When I touched a pair of slightly cool hands, they were as white as jade bones and distinct, and they were not as beautiful as men. She held the wooden card excitedly, and couldn't say a word for a while, so she had to kneel down and kowtow. It's all in plain sight.

The teacher of the calligraphy and painting department is the most interesting, because it is the test on the spot, and the results are released on the same day, and the time to prepare is really limited. Every year is different, and this year is to review the results on the spot. The disciples took out a batch of small notes, and the upper left corner was painted with a white crane, a large piece of white space, and the back was pressed against the table and could not be seen. "Li Wanmu." The invigilator of the calligraphy and painting exam looked at the delicate little girl in front of him with a smile, "Four top students, the little girl is very good." ”

"Mr. Miaozan." Li Wanmu let out a sweet smile.

"Spring Breeze Pushes the Boat into Xitang"...... This way of painting, has the girl ever learned from Mr. Tsuruya? ”

"No, I didn't. I participated in the women's red exam and had the opportunity to see "Cicada in Autumn", and I think it is extremely beautiful. I painted that feeling into the painting. ”

"I see." The invigilator took up the pen and wrote down the word 'Shangjia'. Hand it to Li Wanmu.

Five on the top!

Li Wanmu took the report card of the brilliant record to the Academy of Commerce to register the results, and after a series of responsible checks, Li Wanmu came out with the five freshly baked 'upper armor' on the red roll, and each upper armor was stamped with the red clay seal of the White Egret Academy. The red roll was immediately cherished and circulated by everyone.

Li Zhizhen was surprisingly happy, and celebrated the success at a banquet in Guizi Lianzhou that night. and said that from tomorrow onwards, he would feast guests for three days and three nights, Li Wanmu and Li Wanhan looked at each other, which was too high-profile. But no one dared to stop it, and in the end, Lin Xiuru said: "What's the hurry, it's not too late to celebrate the banquet after the supplementary exam." ”

Li Wanhan was particularly interested in Li Wanmu's ingenious report cards. Every little thing is very liked, the design is particularly thoughtful, even the calligraphy and painting notes that look very casual, and the details have Li Wanmu's personal logo, which can be both anti-counterfeiting and chic. Perhaps, if she doesn't go to Egret Academy, she can also take the test.

Anyway, the predecessor Li Wanhan has not taken the test.

The more I think about it, the more feasible it becomes. On the contrary, it is troublesome not to test how to explain to Lin Xiuru and Li Zhizhen.
