Chapter 119: Appreciating Beauty
Today's Xie Qingyu is wearing a camel gray dark pattern engraved silk cloud pattern Shu brocade chicken heart collar narrow sleeve top, a light purple pinch tooth water grass pattern lotus leaf skirt, wearing a plain white crane pattern Bixia Russell face Hangzhou silk,
The three thousand green silks are all combed into a very complex Uighur bun, and the whole person looks beautiful and vulgar, which is extremely moving.
Xie Qingyu heard Nangong Chengyu ask about his Jingyi exam, so he came back to his senses and said.
"Playing cards is already in the bag."
"How is the calligraphy?" Nangong Chengyu actually knew yesterday that Xie Qingyu won the first place in the Jingyi exam, and now he asked it, just to hear Xie Qingyu's thoughts.
"These few days of light rumors have been practicing day and night, and they are already a little stronger than before." Xie Qingyu also walked towards the desk at this moment.
Raising his hand to pick up the brush, he planned to write with Nangong Chengyu and let him guide him to see if he still had any shortcomings.
Thinking like this, I picked up the pen and wrote, and for a while, Xie Qingyu did not pause, almost all the words were made in one stroke, and it was very coherent.
Nangong Chengyu also stood up at this moment, put down the book casually, and stood beside Xie Qingyu.
He also wanted to see how far Xie Qingyu would progress in three days.
After a while, Xie Qingyu finally finished writing.
Nangong Chengyu immediately picked it up and took a look, and the secret saying in his heart was that he had really made great progress, and it was much better than when he came to practice calligraphy on the first day.
"It seems that this book is of great use to you, but it is not easy to pass the test at this level now, the pen is quite soft, the arc of the peak and tail is too long, and the shape is insufficient."
Nangong Chengyu looked at Xie Qingyu's calligraphy and directly said the disadvantages of Xie Qingyu.
Xie Qingyu actually felt that his handwriting was also good at this moment, but Nangong Chengyu did say these questions well, and when the time came, the examiner would definitely rate all the reference ladies according to this writing.
It seems that he still hasn't practiced enough, Xie Qingyu secretly swore that he would practice harder after going back this time.
"I saw that there are some problems with your posture of holding the pen just now, you can write it again and I'll take a look." Nangong Chengyu saw Xie Qingyu's expression of secret determination, and he also felt very funny for a while, his eyes were full of smiles, but his face was serious.
Xie Qingyu completely trusts Nangong Chengyu's words at this moment, as far as Nangong Chengyu's calligraphy on that day is concerned, it is not an exaggeration to be called a contemporary person.
So Xie Qingyu picked up the pen again, ready to listen to what Nangong Chengyu said next.
"Keep writing." Nangong Chengyu said coldly.
Xie Qingyu had to continue the following text that he had just written, and then continued to write.
It's just that all of a sudden, a pair of slightly cool big hands suddenly attached to his hands.
Xie Qingyu looked sideways and found that Nangong Chengyu was already standing behind him at this moment, and when he turned around, he could just see Nangong Chengyu's side face, which was extremely cold and hard, and it looked very soft at this moment.
Xie Qingyu only felt that her heartbeat had missed half a beat, it was not that she had not been in contact with Nangong Chengyu before, but the environment between the water and clouds was too dim, and now in the study in broad daylight, she could see it very clearly.
Even Nangong Chengyu's breathing, she could hear it clearly at this moment.
"Concentrate." At this moment, Nangong Chengyu didn't raise his eyes to look at Xie Qingyu, but he saw Xie Qingyu looking at him in a daze, although his words were short, but the smile in his eyes was something that even he didn't notice.
Xie Qingyu came back to his senses at this time, and immediately turned his head and looked at the words in his hand.
It's just that the warmth from her hand has been reminding her that Nangong Chengyu is holding her hand.
"You used to hold the pen too tightly, I think it has something to do with the font you learned before."
"Nowadays, the practice of cursive is about being spontaneous, free and easy, and it is natural to relax when holding the pen."
Nangong Chengyu kept saying that when Xie Qingyu was writing calligraphy, there were still problems, but Xie Qingyu at the moment couldn't listen to anything, she had never been so close to other men before, if she wasn't shy, it would be false.
Immediately after that, Xie Qingyu felt that his right hand was also relaxed with Nangong Chengyu's hand movements.
The words written are also a little more chic than before, and the essence of cursive is vividly reflected.
Nangong Chengyu saw that Xie Qingyu's handwriting was much more perfect at this moment, and immediately lowered his head and said.
"How, can you learn?"
Nangong Chengyu happened to see the red xia on Xie Qingyu's pretty face at this time, and he didn't expect that Xie Qingyu, who is quite calm on weekdays, actually had such a cute side, this scene is really rare.
Nangong Chengyu couldn't help but take a few more looks.
"I think I can practice on my own." Xie Qingyu had already woken up from her beauty at this moment, and tried her best not to be overwhelmed by Nangong Chengyu.
When Nangong Chengyu heard this, the corners of his lips moved slightly, and he immediately let go of Xie Qingyu's hand, and the whole person took a step back, and walked back to the position where Fang Cai was sitting, but the ridicule in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
Xie Qingyu felt Nangong Chengyu's departure at this time, and then picked up the pen and wrote, she tried to hold the pen as relaxed as possible, and the strength of the pen was also a little smaller.
After writing it down like this, Xie Qingyu found that it was indeed a little different from before.
"Does the prince have any other books to borrow this time?"
After practicing for a while, Xie Qingyu put down his pen and shifted his gaze to the bookshelf behind Nangong Chengyu.
Last time, if Zixuan hadn't told her that those calligraphy books were all unique books, and they were all masterpieces, she would have thought that there was nothing special about these desks, but when she looked at it today, Xie Qingyu only felt that other expensive books there were beckoning to her.
If Nangong Chengyu has an introductory book in cursive, there must also be other advanced books to improve his calligraphy strength.
"Looks like you're here for my book today." Nangong Chengyu listened to Xie Qingyu's words, and knew what she wanted.
It seems that his books are more attractive than his own.
Nangong Chengyu immediately got up and walked to the bookshelf, and carefully found a calligraphy suitable for Xie Qingyu to practice cursive.
After a while.
"These are the right ones for you right now."
Nangong Chengyu directly put a few copies in front of Xie Qingyu.
Xie Qingyu was still a little embarrassed that Nangong Chengyu had seen through her inner thoughts, but when she saw the calligraphy that Nangong Chengyu took out, her eyes lit up directly.
Immediately put aside the embarrassment in Fang Cai's heart, and was very happy to pick up the notebook and read it carefully.
These notebooks are different from the previous ones, and they are very detailed about how to write each record, including what, nib, hook tail and so on.
Xie Qingyu immediately practiced again according to what was said in the notebook.
Before you know it, the night is dark.
"Your Royal Highness, then I will say goodbye today, and I will come back in three days."
Xie Qingyu wrote, writing that it was really late when she looked outside, after all, she was still a girl who had not left the cabinet, and she accidentally fell asleep last time she was sleepy, but this time she really should go.
"Practice diligently." Hearing this, Nangong Chengyu only raised his head and glanced at Xie Qingyu lightly, and then said.
Xie Qingyu took the advanced version of the notebook given to him by Nangong Chengyu and walked out of the door of the study.
Immediately, a small servant led her to the door of the Yongning Courtyard.
As soon as she left, the door of the Yongning Courtyard was tightly closed.
Xie Qingyu walked back to the inn with brisk steps all the way.
"Why, it's your friend who gave you a new book again."
Qin Zixuan went to Xie Qingyu's room today, but she didn't see Xie Qingyu's figure.
When I came down for dinner, I happened to see Xie Qingyu preparing to enter the door, so Qin Zixuan hid directly to the side of the door, ready to make fun of Xie Qingyu.
Qin Zixuan rushed out directly from the side, and snatched the copybook that was originally in Xie Qingyu's hand.
"Come and show me."
"This time, the calligraphy is even better than that day!"
"Where did you find this friend of yours, how about asking him to lend me two copies too?"
Seeing this, Xie Qingyu remembered for a while the scene when Nangong Chengyu held his hand and taught himself to write this afternoon, and his pretty face flushed slightly for a while.
"Zixuan, don't make trouble, this calligraphy is precious." Xie Qingyu stretched out his hand and wanted to get back the notebook that was still in his hand.
"Okay, I'll give it back to you, and I know you're nervous."
Qin Zixuan looked at Xie Qingyu's appearance of concern about the copy, and she also knew a little in her heart.
What Xie Qingyu said in his mouth must not be an ordinary friend, and then put the notebook back into Xie Qingyu's hand.
"Go back to the room and change your clothes, you've got a card, let's celebrate!"
Qin Zixuan seemed to have thought of something again, so she pushed Xie Qingyu and walked towards the room.
After the two had another friction, Xie Qingyu and Qin Zixuan both changed into men's clothes.
Xie Qingyu is wearing a stone blue satin brocade robe today, with a beautiful blue lychee pattern belt tied around his waist, and a pair of dark and bright peach blossom eyes.
And Qin Zixuan also changed into an ochre-colored plain silk dress, with a crow-blue lychee pattern gold ribbon tied around her waist, a pair of beautiful Danfeng eyes from time to time exuding a hint of banter, three thousand green silk has already been tied, and she also wears the jade crown worn by the man, which is really free and easy.
Xie Qingyu was originally a little surprised that Qin Zixuan made this suggestion, after all, she would only wear men's clothes when she went out to run errands, but she didn't expect that Qin Zixuan was already used to it.
The action of changing clothes is faster than her, and even takes the initiative to help her crown her hair.
"Where are we going today?" Xie Qingyu waited until he was pulled out of the examination hall by Qin Zixuan before he reacted, and then asked.
"You'll know when you get there."
Hearing this, Qin Zixuan just turned his head to look at Xie Qingyu and smiled meaningfully.
Then the two of them walked forward again.
I have to say that the night view of Gusu City is also very moving, the whole street is brightly lit, not as dark as Xie Qingyu imagined before, she thought that the night of the ancients was always boring, so when she was at Xie's house, she went to bed early every time.
Gusu City was originally known as a water city, and at this moment both sides of the strait are full of all kinds of lanterns, and there are many hawkers on the shore who are selling.
The sound of running water is very comfortable on this night, and the faint sound of cicadas not far away adds a sense of peace to Gusu.
Xie Qingyu secretly said in his heart that it is no wonder that the ancients liked Jiangnan the most, how could such a picturesque Jiangnan not be loved.
"Here we are."
At this time, Qin Zixuan poked Xie Qingyu's arm with her elbow, and motioned sideways for her to look up.
Xie Qingyu only came back from his thoughts at this time, and as soon as he looked up, Xie Qingyu was stunned.
I saw that what caught Xie Qingyu's eyes at this moment was.
