【Extranet Gambling】3. Long stay in the academy
Early in the morning, Hua Qiangu was pulled up by Sheng Xiaomo to clean up and dress up, and his face was covered with white powder, and then rubbed red rouge. He put on new clothes, a beaded hairpin in his hair, a gold necklace around his neck, and a jade bracelet on his wrist. Hua Qiangu felt that she was very much like the landlord's wife, but as the landlord's wife, she couldn't even eat a steamed bun that she usually made for breakfast, and she was afraid that she would skip school halfway, so Sheng Xiaomo specially hired a sedan chair, and several strong men kept sending her to the gate of the academy.
Hua Qiangu wanted to cry without tears, and he was dying when he came out of the sedan chair.
The people around couldn't help but laugh privately when they saw her, saying that it was a rich lady, who was raised for nothing and fat, and she couldn't walk anymore.
Hua Qiangu looked up, and there were four brand-new big characters with gold paint on a black background - Changliu Academy.
Okay, let's read it, anyway, she went to school for a few days before, and her father also taught her a few words, although she didn't learn well, she didn't hate it.
The students around her ranged from six to thirty years old, but most of them were about her age. I heard that this academy used to be called Bodhi Academy, and an old Xiucai surnamed Qin was presiding over it, but later there were fewer and fewer students and it was about to go out of business. Not long ago, it got a huge amount of money, hired many powerful teachers and famous people to teach, and many dignitaries and nobles participated in the ribbon-cutting, and the publicity momentum was very huge.
She didn't know why her father attached so much importance to studying in the academy, she probably disliked her, and wanted her to meet a good family to marry in the academy soon. Most of the people who send their children here to study have this kind of thought.
There are about more than 100 newcomers who have entered the school, all of whom gather in the square for roll call, and will be divided into four classes of Meilan Zhuju through lottery.
Although the name of the academy has changed, the dean is still Qin Xiucai. He was a little older, and compared to the bunch of gentlemen sitting next to him, invited or uninvited, he looked very unimposing.
He first welcomed the new students, looked forward to the bright future of the college, and then began to introduce the teachers. In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, which are compulsory subjects, other teachers can choose to study the courses taught by other teachers.
"This is the old master Yan Wendao from the capital, and I will teach you easy learning in the future. This is Dongfang Yuqing, give you a ......"
"Calligraphy. Dongfang Yuqing answered, smiling gently and elegantly, and the audience gasped.
Hua Qiangu was so hungry that she didn't even have the strength to look up, and the sun in the morning was not too scorching, but it also made her forehead sweat frequently.
Next, the teachers all gave a brief introduction to themselves.
"My name is Agni, and I'm in charge of teaching you how to cook. There was a sound of surprise below.
"My name is Lei Yin, and I will teach you medicine and acupuncture in the future. There was another sound of surprise below.
"Clearstream, the lessons I teach are sake brewing and drinking. ”
This time, even Dean Qin couldn't help frowning his old face and asked quietly, "Do you want to teach this drinking?"
"It's natural, and the wine table is an important place to communicate with people. ”
"That's ......," Dean Qin stroked his beard.
"My name is Luo Eleven, and I'm welcome to join my small animal breeding association. ”
"Old Fu Luo Hedong, specializing in teaching demon and ghost hunting!" His voice was like thunder, and the students below were all stupid, this academy is really different, how can you teach everything!"
"Mo Bing, teach painting. "Breathe a sigh of relief below, there's finally a normal one.
At this time, a red-haired woman on the stage, who seemed to be an outsider, spoke: "You can call me Beihai, I haven't thought of anything to teach you for the time being, so I'll start a swimming lesson." Everyone was dumbfounded, there was actually a female husband, and there was more than one. As soon as she finished speaking, another woman spoke.
"My name is Kill Qianmo, about embroidery, cutting, makeup and maintenance, clothing matching, as long as it is related to beauty, you can come to me. ”
Beihai is already gorgeous, but compared to this woman, it is simply too far behind. Everyone below was boiling, and even the boys made up their minds to take his class.
Killing Qianmo had already glanced around the crowd a few times, but he didn't find his beloved little dot.
He wants to participate in the gambling game, but he refuses to show his ordinary appearance, in his opinion, ordinary is ugly, and he is so ugly that he has no characteristics! After bargaining with Dongfang Yuqing for a long time, he finally reached an agreement that he could appear with an appearance better than ordinary people, but he must be a woman in the first three months.
Killing Qianmo has always been simple, thinking that he thought he was a sister anyway, and he didn't have much hope for the gambling game, just to play, and to sabotage Dongfang Yuqing. You think, forget it if you lose to Bai Zihua, he is still convinced, if he loses to a tattered scholar, how can he be mixed. So even if he appears in women's clothes, he has to be the most beautiful of all people!
Next, more people introduce themselves, and they really teach everything. Martial arts, boxing, hidden weapons, vegetable planting, carving...... Not to mention the students below, even Dean Qin kept wiping his sweat, who did he invite a bunch of people to come!
Hua Qiangu was hungry and tired, and when she went out, Sheng Xiao silently stuffed her into a so-called "slimming suit", and the strap strangled her so much that she was about to lose her breath, she only felt dizzy, and the girl next to her kindly supported her.
"Are you alright?"
Hua Qiangu waved his hand, he couldn't even speak, his face turned the color of pig liver, and then he heard a cold voice from above.
"My name is Bai Zihua, and I will teach you what patience is. ”
It was as if a clear stream was pouring into her heart, bringing a little coolness, but listening to the above introduction, she already knew that she would not have a good life in the future. Originally, I thought that when I came to the academy, I would learn calligraphy and painting, and look at the four books and five classics, but I didn't expect it to be such a toss.
There were more than 30 teachers on it, and after everyone almost got to know each other, they began to draw lots to divide the class.
At this time, the people on the stage all pricked up their ears, because none of them had found where Hua Qiangu was until now, oh, of course, except for Dongfang Yuqing, who had been folding the fan and shaking it gently.
"Nanxiang. ”
The student whose name was called "in" stepped forward and drew lots and handed it over to Luo Eleven.
"Meban. When he heard his class number, he walked to the team of the class.
"Huoxi, Bamboo Class. ”
"Flowing fire, bamboo class. ”
"Like frost, Ramban. ”
......
As planned, Youruo, Huoxi, Wu Qingluo, Tangbao and most of the disciples of Changliu or other sects went to the bamboo class and Hua Qiangu together, unlike being a teacher, most of them have erased their memories.
Finally, I heard the familiar name sound: "Flower Thousand Bone." ”
Everyone on the stage couldn't help but hold their breath, the game that they had been waiting for for fifteen years was finally about to begin.
called twice, but there was no response from the audience, and Luo Eleven continued to call.
Hua Qiangu was shaky and half-asleep, and then he reacted and drew lots. She struggled to move her little thick legs, came out of the queue, and walked in front of Luo Eleven, who looked at her with her mouth half open and was stupid.
"Little bit!" The fan in Kill Qianmo's hand also fell to the ground and stood up from his seat. Squinted his eyes and looked left and right, although he was a little fat and a little deformed, but who was that little face who was Hua Qiangu.
He stumbled and almost fainted, but Mo Bingxian hurriedly supported him, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
There was a strange silence in the audience, and Hua Qiangu unconsciously drew out the lot and looked at it, Zhuban.
Breathe a sigh of relief, it's almost over, she's so hungry she can't hold on. Staggered towards the line, completely unaware that all the eyes on the stage were looking at her in pain.
The sun seemed to hide in the clouds without looking at it, a cool breeze blew, the nose was itchy, and the mouth grew with a thousand bones.
"Ahh
At the same time, there was a sound of cracking and tearing. She froze, her back seemed to be cold, and there was a big gap, and the slimming garment died gloriously, and her flesh scrambled to run out.
Suddenly, the whole body was relaxed, and Hua Qiangu took a deep breath, but his body had fallen down without obeying the call, and he fainted.
The audience was silent for three seconds before they reacted, and Luo Shiyi and Mo Bingxian rushed over as soon as possible.
But when he saw Kill Qianmo roll up his sleeves and scolded: "Damn Sheng Xiaomo, Lao Tzu fought with you!"
When Hua Qiangu woke up, she found that it was already dark and she was lying in her home.
"Daddy, I'm hungry!" she shouted as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Wait. ”
After a while, Sheng Xiaomo came in with a bowl of porridge from outside, and Hua Qiangu was pleasantly surprised to find a few grains of rice and two vegetable leaves inside, and drank them all with a bang.
"Daddy, I'm still hungry!"
"Hungry, hungry, hungry, every day I know that I am hungry! Tell you to study the first day of school, you actually threw me such a big ugliness in front of the whole academy!" Sheng Xiaomo couldn't help but reach out and poke her forehead.
Hua Qiangu cried and mourned, hugged his sleeve and wiped his mouth by the way, and raised his head to find that something was wrong.
"Daddy, what's wrong with your face?"
Sheng Xiaomo was not angry and hugged his chest and said, "Bang!"
I'm embarrassed to ask, it's not her who hurt her, kill Qianmo and carry her back, and it will be a punch when she enters the door.
Alas, yes, you can't use it anymore, it's not a matter of weight, it's that the volume can't be contained, you can only carry it back like a sandbag, and your face is green.
But can you blame him, this eating is also a sin, and not eating is also a sin.
I really didn't expect that he was dignified and respectful, even if the nanny was forgotten, he would actually fall into the field where he was beaten and had no reason to fight back, alas, alas......
The next day, I spent a thousand bones to go to the academy, so I was willing to go out after eating a steamed bun.
In the classroom, I watched the girl in the seat next to me eating baked cakes and swallowed my saliva.
"Are you either?" it was the girl who helped her yesterday, who was handsome and lovely.
Hua Qiangu unceremoniously took the baked cake and ate it.
"My name is Youruo, you fainted yesterday, are you okay now?"
"It's fine. Hua Qiangu shook his head, "I just haven't eaten enough, my father wants me to lose weight." ”
The petite and delicate girl in green clothes sitting in front of her also turned her head: "I still have some peach blossom cake left, can you eat it?"
Hua Qiangu thanked her again and again, almost burst into tears, it turned out that the academy was still quite good, and she was still worried that she would be bullied.
"My name is Sugar Baby, what's your name?"
"Flower Thousand Bone. ”
"You don't want to lose weight?"
"Yes, but I want to eat more. ”
"After that, I'll save a little bit of delicious food for you. ”
"I'll bring it to you too. You Ruo said with a smile, stretched out her hand to poke Hua Qiangu's face and poked it addictively, poking a pit.
Hua Qiangu nodded gratefully.
Within a few days, Hua Qiangu became acquainted with the people around her, it turned out that making friends was not as difficult as she imagined, and some of them laughed at her because she was fat, but found that Hua Qiangu was not angry no matter what, so she felt bored. Everyone's energy is basically focused on the teachers.
The classes are basically elective, Hua Qiangu herself chose the cooking class of Agni Fire and the painting class of Mo Bingxian, and then was pulled by Sugar Bao to report to Dongfang Yuqing, and was pulled by Youruo to report to Baizi painting, and finally killed Qianmo to come to the door and forced her to choose her own class, which made her second monk confused.
It was said that a lot of people came to participate in the gambling game with great interest, wanting to take the opportunity to insert a foot between Bai Zihua and her, in order to show how charming they were, and they could outperform the immortals who stayed for a long time. No longer pursue, just watch from the wall.
The most likely to win among the remaining people are Bai Zihua, Dongfang Yuqing, Kill Qianmo, and Mo Bingxian, but except for Killing Qianmo who circles around Hua Qiangu every day, taking her to visit the temple fair, taking her to fly a kite, and taking her down to the restaurant, the others have no movement.
Because it was agreed that it would take at least three months to tell Hua Qiangu that he was a man, he had lost the opportunity, so he tried his best to be good to her, wanting to win with long-term affection.
Hua Qiangu also found that there seemed to be a lot of people around him suddenly, and he was a little uncomfortable. But apart from eating, I don't really care about other things. Occasionally, she receives flower gifts or love letters from others, which she also thinks is a prank. What you eat will be left behind, and everything else will be thrown away.
So everyone got the hang of it, whoever got the delicious food, Hua Qiangu obediently followed whomever he wanted, and used food to lure him every day. Hua Qiangu felt a little strange, why were there always so many teachers and classmates who wanted to invite her to dinner?
On this day, after eating and drinking, Hua Qiangu, Tangbao and Youruo returned home together.
In order to avoid suspicion, ordinary people often invite the three of them together, and the eleventh is it.
However, after Youruo's observation, everyone else is desperately trying to give Hua Qiangu vegetables, and Luo Eleven is desperately trying to give sugar treasure vegetables.
"Qiangu, the teachers of the academy seem to like you very much. ”
Hua Qiangu nodded: "Maybe my father knows them, or he goes through the back door, so they can take care of me more." Hua Qiangu felt that this was the only reasonable explanation.
"By the way, what about your father, why didn't you see him today?" Youruo squirmed, every time she came, when she saw Sheng Xiaomo's lazy appearance, her heart beat loudly.
"Oh, maybe I went out to fight crickets, and I'll be back in a while. ”
"Where's your mother?"
Hua Qiangu scratched his head: "I don't know, he didn't bother to tell me in detail when I asked my father, so he said that he ran away with someone." ”
Youruo suddenly looked at her with pity: "It must be not easy for your father to raise you alone, I think he is still very young, why don't you look for another one." ”
"He's idle all day, and if he finds another one, he will probably have to run away with someone again!" Hua Qiangu still couldn't stop eating melon seeds when he was full.
You Ruo shouted in her heart, no, if it was her, she would definitely not run.
Tangbao asked, "Qiangu, do you have someone in mind?" My family sent me to the academy just to find a good family. "The family in Sugar Bao's mouth is naturally also dressed as an immortal. Except for Hua Qiangu and Sheng Xiaomo, the others have been in the lower realm for less than a year.
"Someone you like?"
"Yes, isn't it okay for Huo Xi and Wu Qingluo in our class? I heard that the family is also very satisfied, and it is estimated that they will get married after studying. ”
Hua Qiangu tilted her head and thought about it, there were only three people who were impressed by her, one was Dongfang Yuqing, who always liked to squint and smile at her, and her heart beat so fast when she held her hand and taught her to write. One is Mo Bing, who has excellent painting skills, and people look like an ink painting wherever they go. Hua Qiangu could often feel his gaze, and it fell on her from afar, slightly sad, giving her the illusion of melting. The other is the flowing fire in the class, everyone else brings her food, only he remembers to bring her a drink. Every time she choked after eating too much, he became a savior. And he is very good, his grades are very good, and he does the best in whatever he studies, which makes his stupid self admire.
"I've always been worried about the person I like. Hua Qiangu frowned.
"Worried about what?"
"I'm worried that I'll marry an idiot in the future. ”
"Huh?" both Sugar Treasure and Yuruo laughed.
"It's true, I've had a strange birthmark on my arm since I was born, it's a line of words!"
Hua Qiangu rolled up his sleeves and showed them both.
There are literally four words written on the arm.
- I, love, whiteness, idiocy.
Youruo and Tangbao were speechless for a moment: "You didn't write it yourself?"
"Of course not, it can't be washed off by any means. Every time I asked my dad what was going on, he would laugh and pound the table, praising who was talented, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. ”
"It's a bit weird!"
"yes, and it's amazing, am I really going to like an idiot in the future?"
Sugar Treasure laughed: "As long as you like it, it doesn't matter if you're an idiot or not!"
"That's right, Sugar Baby, are you interested in someone?"
Sugar Bao nodded his head without shyness, and announced loudly with a smile: "I like Master Luo! He actually knows that I don't like to eat meat and like to eat vegetable leaves! A few days ago, he also bought me sugar gourds and taught me paper-cutting!"
Youruo couldn't understand it at all, but Hua Qiangu nodded sympathetically: "As long as my future husband doesn't dislike me for being fat, he can treat my father well, and he doesn't stop me from eating, it doesn't matter if I'm an idiot." ”
