Chapter Eighty-Eight: Praise (1st Update)
Xu Xi didn't realize it and continued to write his own words.
At the beginning, when she practiced calligraphy, she would look forward to the system's points broadcast after writing thirty words on this piece of paper, so she counted the words. But now that she has experienced the wonderful charm of calligraphy and her own words have improved a little bit, all her mind is on practicing calligraphy, and when she hears "Congratulations to the host, wisdom +3", she knows that she has written thirty words and sobered up from the state of selflessness.
As soon as she woke up, she found that the situation was wrong, why did the classmates in front of her and on both sides frequently look at her, and Xu Xue beside her had already stopped writing, sitting there with a somewhat uneasy look?
She was about to ask Xu Xue when she suddenly heard a voice behind her: "How long have you been practicing calligraphy?" ”
Xu Xi found that there were a few people standing behind him, in addition to Mrs. Xiao and her maid-in-law, several classmates were also there to probe their brains.
She quickly stood up and stood with her hands tied.
If it were someone else, maybe Mrs. Xiao wouldn't ask. Maybe others are like her, with a family background, or have the conditions to practice calligraphy and have a good teacher to teach.
Because she wants to cooperate with Xu Xi, although Mama Yun knows the rumors that the Hou Mansion is holding the wrong child, she does not know the details of Xu Xi, so she specially sent someone to investigate yesterday and found that Xu Xi turned out to be a talented daughter, and later her parents passed away one after another, she was taken back by her uncle and aunt to stay in the countryside for two years, and was only picked up by the Suiping Hou Mansion two days ago.
Calligraphy cannot be drawn on the ground with just branches, nor can it be written on a sand table, it must be practiced on paper. It is not a day's work to practice decent characters, and the cost of paper and ink is huge. With a family background like Xu Yongzeng and Xu Yongyi, it is impossible for Xu Xi to practice calligraphy at will, so Mrs. Xiao asked this question.
Xu Xi was thoughtful, and immediately understood that Mrs. Xiao had checked her, otherwise she would not have asked such a question.
She replied honestly: "When I was a child, I practiced literacy for a while, and I have practiced a little bit in the past two years. But the taste can be practiced, and I feel that it has been very beneficial in the recent past. ”
She deliberately blurred the concept of time so as not to reveal flaws.
"So, you haven't been practicing for a long time?" Mrs. Xiao asked.
"I guess so." Xu Xi was a little embarrassed.
"Then you're quite talented. If you practice well, you may not be able to make achievements in calligraphy. Mrs. Xiao said.
"Thank you Master for your encouragement." Xu Xi hurriedly saluted.
She was very happy to be complimented by Mrs. Xiao. The system had come back just now when she was practicing calligraphy, and told her that Mrs. Xiao's calligraphy teacher was none other than Master Mingcang's disciple, that is, Qin Zhe, the most famous calligraphy master who is still alive. In other words, Mrs. Xiao is the disciple grandson of Master Mingcang. Although Mrs. Xiao is young, her talent is excellent, and her calligraphy is also well-known throughout the Great Jin Dynasty.
Her talent can be affirmed by Mrs. Xiao, how can this make her unhappy?
"Sit down." Mrs. Xiao said, moving her steps forward.
Mrs. Xiao and other students are not good at probing their brains anymore, for fear that Mrs. Xiao will suddenly turn around when she walks on the stage and see that they are not serious about writing.
The woman in red who was sitting behind Xu Xi still stretched her neck to look, until Mrs. Xiao turned around and her eyes swept to her, and she sat down under He Yuqi's reminder.
After class, she clicked on Xu Xi's back: "Your words, show me again." ”
Xu Xue turned her head and looked at the woman in red dissatisfied. The woman in red felt Xu Xue's gaze and glanced back at her, her eyes were blank, as if she didn't understand why she was dissatisfied.
Seeing this, Xu Xi thought about it and handed over his words.
The woman in red took the paper, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Thank you." ”
Xu Xi was stunned and smiled at her: "You're welcome." ”
At this time, Zhang Lu and the woman in the goose yellow dress had already come over. The woman in the goose yellow dress smiled at Xu Xi and said gently: "My name is Mu Qinglian, and my sister Mu Qingqiang." You sit at the front and back tables, and hope that you will take care of them. ”
Xu Xi smiled: "Take care of each other." ”
She stood up and pulled Xu Xue out: "Let's go, let's go out for a walk." ”
There is only a two-quarter hour break at noon for everyone to eat snacks and rest. However, Xu Xi wanted to see if the academy had lunch for sale. It's okay to have a hot day now, but you can't just eat snacks when it's cold, and it would be great if you could have hot food to sell.
Walking outside, Xu Xue muttered, "Why is that person like this?" Can you still ask someone else to give up their position? Obviously, he was a little worried about Mu Qingqiang asking Zhang Lu to give up his position.
"A slap doesn't make a sound." Xu Xidao.
"Huh?" Xu Xue didn't understand.
"They obviously know each other, but they started to only look for Zhang Lu, not He Yuqi, why is this?" Xu Xi asked, "If you want to write a script, you have to observe life in normal times, and you can't just look at the surface of everything." ”
Xu Xue was thoughtful.
Xu Xi dragged Xu Xue to the dormitory, entered her dormitory, and saw that the handkerchief she put on the pillow was still there, and no one moved, and a few things were added to the other bed, Xu Xi nodded with satisfaction.
It seems that she is a good roommate.
She took out the snack box: "Hurry up and eat, class will be in a while." "The academy is a bit big, and it only rests for two quarters of an hour, and there is no going back and forth. It seems that in the future, I will only be able to find a place to eat snacks near the church house.
Anyway, the Xu family owes Xu Xi a lot, and Xu Xue didn't bother with these few pieces of dim sum, so she quickly finished eating with Xu Xi and went back to the church.
There is only one class in the afternoon, which is music. The master who taught music was a woman in her forties, surnamed Tao. She introduced various musical instruments and asked everyone to choose the one they wanted to learn the most.
Xu Xi thought about it and picked the guzheng.
Xu Xue picked the flute.
Although she said she liked it, Xu Xi felt that the reason she chose the flute was that it was the cheapest instrument. Ordinary bamboo flutes are just hundreds of dollars, which are much cheaper than dozens, hundreds, or even hundreds of taels of silver for a piece of guzheng, guqin, gonghou and other musical instruments.
On the carriage back to the capital, Xu Xi closed his eyes and said to the system: "You calculate, how many points I earned today." ”
The system happily agreed, calculated for a while, and reported the number to Xu Xi: "You earned fifty-eight points today." ”
"The light curtain is open, I'll see how many points I have." Xu Xidao.
The system displayed the light curtain in front of Xu Xi. It was still a lonely commodity, and at the very top of the light curtain, Xu Xi's total points were displayed: 86.
Xu Xi stared at this number for a long time, sighed deeply, and felt infinite sadness.
The system was worried that she would be discouraged, so she hurriedly poured chicken soup on her: "This is mainly because your early practice level is too low, sometimes 0 points, sometimes 1 point." And it doesn't take long for you to travel to this world, and you have less time to earn points. Now that I have entered the academy, I have entered the academy every day, and my skills have improved, and I can get my marks faster. ”
