Chapter Ninety-Seven: Someone Stands Out
Yi Yu recognized that the person sitting in the back was the little girl who had met her once yesterday at the bottom of the Lan Mansion, because the book "Clear Snow Sticker" made a deep impression on her, she was wearing the same black gray regular clothes as herself, and she was also a student of the academy.
It's not a big deal to knock over the cinnabar box in the painting competition, but the bad thing is that the box is upside down on the painting that will be halfway, and the picture of the landscape is pasted into a sticky red, and the incense pillar guarded by the master book in the distance is half gone.
Some people looked at it coldly, and then they quietly went to make their unfinished paintings, and more were gloating, and the scholar on standby quickly trotted over with a spare box of cinnabar, placed it in front of the little girl, and then ran away quickly.
Seeing that she had a new cinnabar, Yi Yu withdrew her hand that had already touched the edge of the box, turned around and continued to add details in the painting with a thin brush, and heard several people whispering from behind her:
"An An, are you alright? Don't be in a daze, hurry up and draw. ”
"Yes, An An, don't be in a daze, quickly clean up and redraw, do you want to get the worst?"
......
This little girl's popularity seems to be good, Yu Yu thought distractedly, at least it was better than she was at the beginning, this scene reminded her of some similar events a long time ago, and her popularity was indeed not good at the beginning.
"I, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me, hurry up and draw."
Hearing the pretending calm voice behind her, Yu Yu couldn't help but have a good impression of the little girl called "An An", she didn't think about taking the best and was not afraid of taking the worst in this painting competition, and it was completed in less than half a cup of tea, checked it again, and before the print, she couldn't help but turn her head and take a look, which made her frown secretly.
The drawing paper in front of her was replaced with a brand new and clean one, Jin Luan bit her lip and wanted to calm down, but her hand holding the pen was still shaking, and as soon as it fell on the paper, it drew a long ugly trace, as if she was laughing at her previous complacency, and she was handy with the topic, but when she was about to finish painting, she accidentally sprinkled cinnabar ink - and lost such a big face in front of "her".
She clenched her trembling hands, she didn't even dare to look up at the slender back in front of her, and what was even more ridiculous was that she couldn't remember what she had just painted at this time, looking at the incense candles burning in the distance, only more panicked, she had been in the Guozi Prison for a year, and what she had seen with her own eyes was very clear, if the five academies were rated as the worst, what would be waiting for her next, endless ridicule and teasing, the isolation of fellow residents, and the alienation of friends.
She received the malicious eyes around her one by one, and tried several times but couldn't sketch the shape she wanted, until there was a sweet taste in her mouth, and then she dragged a thick and long ink mark on the paper with her pen, and after stopping the pen, the last bit of struggle in her eyes disappeared, and the dampness gushed out of the corners of her eyes.
She let go of her fingers, and watched blankly as the brush rolled on the desk, and crawled away stupidly towards the corner of the desk with the ink star, she really wished that she could escape from here like this pen, but how did she escape, just like this pen, when she was about to crawl out of the case, she was held down by a palm stained with fine ink, picked it up, and handed it back to her.
"If I were you, it would be time to think about the family who came to see you, and the people you don't want to disappoint him. If you hold it, you can't draw it, and you have to draw it until the end of the competition. ”
The soft voice was slightly hoarse, the tone was cold and serious, Jin Lu'an reached out to take the pen in a daze, and then looked up, there was a slender back, she turned her head to look at the judgment seat, even if the figure was blurred, you can imagine how worried her grandfather's old face should be.
She twisted her thigh fiercely, and the person suddenly came to her senses, put away the paper in front of her with a "swish", wiped the ink on the side of the desk with her sleeve, spread a new layer of drawing paper, and the pen fell, no longer ugly traces.
Yes, if you really got the worst, the shameful thing is that she Jin Lu'an is one, and, also, wasn't that young lady like this at the beginning, in that calligraphy competition, she was splashed with ink, and she only had less than half a pillar of incense, but she won everyone, she still had half a pillar of incense, why was she willing to do this
Listening to the upstairs read two unknown names one after another, a boo and a noise, Yu Yu lowered her head and wiped her old student seal, after confirming that it was clean, she put it into the pouch she carried with her, and there was a delicate and lovely jade seal lying in the pouch at the triangular mouth, which was the "Jue" seal given to her by Li Tai, and she was reluctant to use it, and she had no occasion to use it, and she has not seen it red so far.
"It's so dangerous, An An, fortunately you're not the worst"
"It was really scary just now, how did you hit a good cinnabar?"
"That's right, why are you so careless, did you go back last night and stay up late to read, really, it won't be good if you work hard for a day..."
"I'm done painting, I'm sorry to make you worry, I, I'm also startled, it's just distracted."
Listening to the little girl's chatter and complaint behind her, as well as the slow answer, Yi Yu couldn't help laughing, packed up the pen and paper, and didn't notice that the first few little girls gradually quieted down, peeked at her one after another, pushed each other a few times, twisted and didn't dare to step forward, and finally a scratching his head was pushed out, and was about to talk to Yu Yu, but was preempted.
"Second Miss Lu."
Yi Yu is very uninterested in this title, especially the "two" in the middle, usually there are only two kinds of people who will call her like this, those who are looking for her business, and those who are ready to find her business.
She stood up and looked at the two people who were surrounded by a group of people under the peeps of everyone, needless to say the eye-catching Changsun Xi on the left, the woman next to her, who was two years older, looked good, but a bright golden hairpin on the top of her head looked tacky, but it was this golden hairpin that made the jade recognize the person.
"Miss Eldest Sun, Miss Chu." Looking at the expression of the golden hairpin girl, Yi Yu knew that she didn't recognize the wrong person, isn't this Chu Xiaosi, who participated in the design and stunned her and closed the small black room, and was almost suffocated to death by the stamina, thinking that she was Changsun Xian's follower at the beginning, but she was pushed out as a scapegoat after that incident, and her reputation was kicked off by Changsun Xian, and now she is mixed with Changsun Xi, it seems that she is not in the past two years, and she really missed a lot of good shows.
"Noble people forget things, it's hard for you to remember my old classmates." Chu Xiaosi had a kind smile on her face, as if Yi Yu had been very good to her.
Yi Yu's current identity, there is really no need to be polite with her, so he smiled noncommittally, bowed his head and washed the brush, Li Tai was afraid that she was about to come down, she had to leave quickly, so as not to be caught, remembering that he went to Meilou to greet Jin Qide in the morning, so after a while, Li Tai, who was sitting on the side, also pinched her fingers to play with the cover of his sleeve, and his heart was shocked.
"Tomorrow is the calligraphy competition, this is Miss Lu's forte, I wonder how you are prepared?" Changsun Xi asked.
"It's fine." She's bound to win, and there's no need to talk to irrelevant people.
"It seems that Miss Lu is confident," Changsun Xi interpreted the meaning of the jade by herself, turned her head and smiled at Chu Xiaosi, "This is difficult, I originally planned to ask for this calligraphy brand this year, who knew that Miss Lu would suddenly come back before the wedding, this time I took three woodcuts in advance, and I don't want to fight with Miss Lu, how do you say this should be?" ”
Listening to the surprised whispers of the people around her, Yiyu smiled secretly, what a big breath, three woodcuts, is she her personal special event when this five-academy art competition, and what does it mean that she doesn't want to compete with her, what is said, if she Lu Yiyu really takes the woodcut of the calligraphy competition this time, it will be regarded as her eldest grandson Xi Xiang.
"Hehe," Chu Xiaosi glanced at Yi Yu with a strange gaze, and took the words of Changsun Xi, "Xi'er, don't say that, you just worshipped Mr. Yu as a teacher, if you lose the art competition, won't you lose his old man's face." ”
The eldest grandson worshipped Yu Shinan as a teacher? This time, Yu Yu Ke was really surprised, looking at the increasingly dazzling beauty of Changsun Xi, he nodded and said, "I haven't heard of this yet, congratulations." ”
"Thank you," Changsun Xi didn't have the slightest smug expression, and said to Yi Yu in a very normal manner, "Mr. also said that he was quite impressed by Miss Lu's handwriting, and praised you for writing new words, juan and neat, especially with his sister Mrs. Zhou's good body, which is five points similar, which is rare." Oh, by the way, it is said that Mrs. Zhou was also present at your ceremony, I wonder if you have ever been instructed by her? ”
is a pun, which is another implication that the Ying body of the jade is an imitation of Yu Shinan's sister Mrs. Zhou, and is testing what Mrs. Zhou, who has not been added to her, has anything to do with her.
Yiyu made a movement in his hand, then washed the brush again, and at the same time stared at the turbid water in the bamboo tube, and chuckled, "Third Miss praise, my hand is just a streamlined Xiaokai, how dare I bear the name of the new word, Mrs. Zhou is from everyone, I also admire her, but it is a pity that Mrs. lives in a different place for a long time, and I can't have the fate to see her good body, otherwise I can discuss it with you." ”
"Oh?" Changsun Xi's eyes flashed with different colors, and he knew that the jade was difficult, but she lightly crossed out her words in two sentences, and it was still unexpected, and he was suspicious, and then said:
"Then I'm really curious, it is said that Miss Lu was born in the countryside when she was young, but this good hand is far better than ordinary people, who is Xi from, is it that among the countryside, there are also famous masters?"
"Poof", Chu Xiaosi laughed, then pretended to be embarrassed and covered her mouth, and blamed Changsun Xi for it, "As soon as you say it, the masters have become weirdos in the poor countryside." ”
The water in the bamboo tube has been stained with ink, and the jade has been stirred around twice, and when she heard the whispers around her, she didn't even bother to raise her eyes, but she could endure it, just because others could bear it-
"There are fish not in the deep river, there are rivers that are not high in the mountains, there are mountains that are not in the sky, and some people are outstanding in the world, why do you need to ask their teachers"
This voice is abrupt, but the words are correct and round, the pearl sentences are read, the reason is easy to analyze, and the surroundings are quiet, and the Yu Yu is interested in raising her head, looking at the round-faced little girl who is standing sideways in front of her, and the side is secretly angry.
"It's reasonable, but I'm not questioning, but I'm just curious, if Miss Lu is inconvenient to tell me, you don't have to answer me, and this young lady doesn't have to be too aggressive."
Jin Lu'an was hot-headed, so she was poured down by water, she was still young, and she didn't have the Tao of Sun Xi, a sentence made the eyes around her taste bad, or sarcastic or ridiculed, it was when her face was red and her ears were red, she heard a soft voice and laughed:
"Why hasn't Miss Changsun heard of it in the Guozijian for three years?"
Turning his head, he saw the ink painting-like young lady, a white jade hand, took a brush out of the bamboo tube, shook the water beads twice, and faced the eldest grandson Xi and others, raised her eyebrows, raised her chin lightly, and a pair of burning eyes were not without pride:
"Although I was born in the countryside, my eldest brother Lu Zhiyu studied four books, and when he was young, he was involved in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. You asked me who I was taught by, and I replied to you, I only have one brother, and I am better than others and worship famous teachers. ”
After finishing speaking, ignoring the stunned everyone, he looked up at the slender figure standing by the railing on the Mei Tower, took the book bag, and walked away.
Jin Lu'an and a few little girls watched Yi Yu go away with shiny eyes, and the red on their faces was no longer caused by embarrassment, but excitement. As everyone knows, Yu Yu walked out of the gate of the Junzi Building, looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he slipped along the river and trotted up, for fear that Li Tai, who had just stared at her "fiercely" upstairs, would come down to arrest people.
(I'm late, I'm sorry, I'll send you 500 words first, and I'll say it tomorrow, hehe)
