Early in the morning, Qingshu went to the women's school to meet everyone, and then followed the students of the women's school to the dock.

Jin Cui waited at the dock early in the morning, and when she saw Qingshu, she gave her a square wooden box; "This is a gift from my girl."

Because of his opinion on Qingshu, Jin Cui had a cold face.

Qingshu took the box and found that it was quite heavy, and he didn't know what it contained: "Thank you, Sister Jingshu." ”

Jin Cui glanced at Qingshu and turned to leave.

The boat to the capital this time has two floors, the husband of Jinling Girls' School and the students live on the second floor, and the bottom floor lives with the officers and soldiers and the servants brought by the people.

This time, the government sent 50 sailors to escort them, and the person who led the team was surnamed Zhu, and it was a hundred households.

There are 28 students and gentlemen, but there are only 18 rooms on the second floor. Except for a few gentlemen, only Qingshu and Xie Xiaoxin had a private room.

Where others like to be dissatisfied, they don't dare to raise objections. There is no way, the first two were taken over by Qingshu and Xie Xiaoxin. Speak according to the results, and you have to hold back if you are not convinced.

Mother Chen followed Qingshu into the room and said with a smile: "This room is quite big. ”

When they came to Jinling before, they also took a boat, and the room of the boat was only about half the size. However, at that time, there were more rooms, and they directly asked for three, unlike now when they have to live in one room for three people.

There were beds on either side of the room, the small bed that could sleep one person, and a low table on each bed. Qingshu thinks it's very good, you can write and draw with tables and chairs.

Following Qu Gouxun's advice, in the past two years, Qingshu has not regarded painting as a pastime but as a specialty. For this reason, she also specially consulted the best gentleman for women to learn painting, and she benefited a lot in the past two years.

There is a futon in the room, but Qingshu is not used to using things that others have used. So, she brought a futon herself.

Chen's mother rolled up the unused futon and put it on the bed on the right. Then she fetched water to scrub the bed, the table and chairs.

Qingshu put everything in order before opening the box that Luo Jingshu gave her.

There are six calligraphy books in the box, namely Liu Gongquan's "Diamond Sutra", Yan Zhenqing's "Yan Qinli Tablet", "Yan Family Temple Tablet", Zhu Suiliang's "Huang Ting Jing", Mrs. Lan's "Family Letter" and Xie Dajia's "Subframe Post".

Shen'er was very surprised to see these calligraphy: "Girl, this Luo girl is so big!" ”

Although these calligraphy books are only copied, they are also very precious, and any one will be snatched up.

Qingshu smiled bitterly and said, "I once chatted with her and said that I hope to have the opportunity to read the calligraphy of those famous artists. Unexpectedly, Sister Jingshu took this matter to heart and collected so many notes. ”

"Girl, don't think about it so much."

Qingshu smiled bitterly, there is no point in thinking about it now, so I can only find a chance to return it in the future.

Xie Xiaoxin lived next to her, and she didn't find the inkstone when she was packing her things: "Qingshu, my inkstone accidentally fell to the ground and broke, how many do you have?" ”

Qingshu brought two inkstones and gave her the pink porcelain inkstones on the table.

Xie Xiaoxin took the inkstone and looked at the busy Chen's mother: "I knew that I also brought my mother with me." ”

Qing Shuwaner: "If there is one more person, you have to pay sixty taels of silver for the boat." ”

She can pay this boat fare by herself, but the school rules that she can only bring one person. It also depends on her young age, which is special care.

Qingshu sat next to Xie Xiaoxin and asked in a low voice; "Sister, who are the other two people who took the exam? Are they in the capital? ”

The Xie family's news is much better than her.

Xie Xiaoxin said with a smile: "You know both of them, one is Chu Yun and the other is Lu Qi. ”

Both of them were students in the first class of the previous class, and both of them were among the best in their grades, but it was a pity that they did not pass the Wenhuatang exam last year.

Speaking of which, there are not many people admitted to Wenhuatang Academy in Jinling Girls' School, and there are about seven or eight people every year. Last year, they hit a new low, and only five were admitted to the exam, and the most promising Chu Yun and Lu Qi both fell to Sun Shan.

"Oh, don't blame Zhao Lingling's family for being willing to give up the place, I see." After a pause, Qingshu asked, "No, I remember that Chu Yun is twelve years old this year." Didn't you say that Wenhuatang only accepts students between the ages of eight and twelve? ”

Xie Xiaoxin knew the meaning of Qingshu's words, and explained: "As long as you are under the age of twelve at the time of the exam, it is not a violation." Chu Yun won't be twelve until April next year,"

In his previous life, Chu Yun was admitted to Wenhuatang, but he didn't expect to be admitted for the second time.

Speaking of this, Xie Xiaoxin was a little worried, Chu Yun's grades were also in the top five in women's studies. She all failed on the list, so Xie Xiaoxin was also a little apprehensive: "Qingshu, you are still young, if you fail the list, you can take the test again." ”

Qingshu chuckled: "According to your operation, I can take the test three more times." ”

Xie Xiaoxin was stunned. Then I thought that Qingshu was only eight years old this year, and according to what she just said, even if she failed next year, she would indeed be able to take the exam three more times.

"But Sister Xin, I believe that I will definitely be able to be admitted next year."

Xie Xiaoxin smiled bitterly: "If there is no accident with our results, we will definitely be able to be admitted, but most of the most promising students in previous years have failed to make the list." ”

"I know they're sick. Even if it was better later, it was affected when I took the exam. It's not good, you can't even enter the exam room. But this kind of thing will never happen to me. ”

Xie Xiaoxin was a little puzzled: "Why are you so sure?" ”

"I'm not afraid of the cold!"

Xie Xiaoxin thought that Qingshu only wore a jacket in winter, and nodded slightly.

Because the waterway is very smooth, Qingshu also reads and practices calligraphy as much as he did at home.

You can't fire alone on the boat, so when it's time to eat, you go to the kitchen to get your own food. The lunch menu was hearty, with chestnut pork ribs, stir-fried coconut white and chicken soup with mushrooms.

After Qingshu finished eating, he said to Shen'er: "Let's go to the deck for a walk!" ”

As a result, as soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Xie Xiaoxin's maid walking out of the room in a panic.

Qingshu asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Hearing that Xie Xiaoxin vomited, Qingshu hurried over. Seeing her lying on the bed, Qingshu couldn't help frowning.

Xie Xiaoxin smiled bitterly: "I should be seasick." ”

"Then you hurry up and take a pill."

This body is too weak, and it only takes half a day to get seasick. When I arrived in the capital, how could I adapt to the cold weather of the capital with this physique.

Seeing Xie Xiaoxin say no, Qing Shu suddenly felt incredible: "Why didn't you even bring seasickness medicine?" ”

Seasickness medicine is a must-have, that is, Qingshu prides himself on being in good health. Although she thinks she won't get seasick, she is prepared to bring it.

Xie Xiaoxin smiled bitterly and did not speak. Her grandmother prepared various medicines such as seasickness medicine, bezoar antidote pills, safflower oil, etc., but they couldn't find the medicine box.

Qingshu knew that there was something inside when he saw it, and he didn't ask much about other people's family affairs: "Sister Shen'er, you went to get seasickness medicine." By the way, grab another box of mint cream. ”

Xie Xiaoxin said with some gratitude: "Qingshu, thank you!" ”

Qingshu smiled and said, "Sister Xin, there is no need to be so polite. ”
