Chapter fifty-seven, asking for a monthly pass
(In the new year, I wish you all a safe and healthy family, everything goes well, and all your dreams come true! I also wish my book will be better than the previous one, hehe. Please order for the first time and give me a monthly ticket~)
Xu Xi didn't know what happened after she left the main courtyard. She was standing in a room in the Guanqi courtyard.
The Guanqi Courtyard is the guest courtyard. Not far from the hanging flower gate, it is a courtyard with lush vegetation and beautiful environment. The area is smaller than the old lady's courtyard, but it is larger than the Xu family's house in the county.
There are seven or eight rooms in the house, with lush vegetation and pleasant scenery.
"The eldest lady originally tidied up the girl's room in the second room, and all the things for the girl are there. The girl is resting here temporarily, so let's use the things in the guest room first. Don't worry, girl, this set of bedding for the girl is all
It's new, no one has used it," Tortoiseshell said. She didn't know yet that the old lady had ordered Pinming House to be cleaned up.
"Thank you very much, Miss Tortoiseshell."
Tortoiseshell told the steward of the guest courtyard, the nanny, and returned to the main courtyard.
Even if there are no guests living in the guest house, it is still cleaned and it is relatively clean. Aunt Yuan, Qing Feng and others will tidy it up a little before it can be occupied.
Xu Xi entered the room, took a look, and told Qing Feng: "Go and ask the eldest lady if I can get some ink and rice paper for calligraphy practice. If so, you can get it back. I want to practice calligraphy."
After working hard all morning, it was only noon now. Xu Xi didn't want to pay attention to the messy people and things in the Hou Mansion. When she had time, she planned to practice calligraphy.
Today she received a set of the Four Treasures of the Study given by Zhao Yuanxun, but the paper and ink inside were very expensive. There were only two ink sticks and only a small stack of paper. Xu Xi was reluctant to use good ink and good paper to practice calligraphy, so
Then I asked Qingfeng to ask.
The Hou family has a great business, and it is not impossible to have ordinary ink and paper.
Qing Feng took the order and left, and soon came back, followed by two third-class maids, both holding many things in their arms.
"Girl, I got my things back. The eldest lady also picked two more sets of the Four Treasures of the Study for the girl. She said that the set given by the Marquis was more expensive, and it would be a pity if it accidentally broke. There are a lot of these things in the house, and it would be a waste to leave them for nothing.
, I picked two sets for the girl to use. If necessary, you can pick more. Tomorrow the girl will go to the academy. Take one set to the academy and keep one set at home. This is convenient and you don’t have to carry it back and forth.
.”
Naturally, Xu Xi would not refuse: "Thank you so much, madam."
She had already asked Yi Cui and the others to clean up the vases and ornaments placed on the table in her room. At this time, she nodded at the table: "Place the things one by one."
Qing Feng is obviously literate, and she also knows what people who practice calligraphy need. Not only did she get some extra ink and paper, but she also got a piece of wool felt, which she spread on the table as a base to prevent ink.
After staining the tabletop, the paper will become softer, the writing will be better, and the paper will not move easily.
Instructing the maid to lay out the things one by one, Qing Feng handed a book in her hand to Xu Xi: "The eldest lady was very happy when she heard that the girl wanted to practice calligraphy, so she specially found a copybook and gave it to the girl.
"
Xu Xi took it and flipped through it, and was very satisfied with the copybook. Although she didn't know who the writer was, she liked the vigorous and powerful handwriting on the copybook.
In her time and space, she liked Liu Gongquan even more than Yan Zhenqing. She was a strong-willed person and could not be as harmonious as the latter.
"System, if I write according to this copybook, if the words I write are close to the words on the copybook, can I get two points for each word?" she asked in her mind.
Probably she finally entered the Suiping Marquis Mansion according to the original plot. Although she was carried away by Mrs. Wei as soon as she entered the door, she did not return to the second house according to the original plot. But her original "non-violent and non-cooperative" behavior was left behind by the system.
A deep shadow has been cast. Now I just move to the guest house instead of directly breaking up with the Hou Mansion and leaving. The system will be in trouble.
At this time, it became very easy to talk: "Yes. If the host can write the words seven points like the ones on the copybook, it will get three points; if it can write the words ten points like the ones on the copybook, it will get four points; if it can write the words exactly like the ones on the copybook, it will get four points;
If you write better than what is written on the copybook, you will get five points."
Xu Xi was immediately happy.
The original owner did not have a copybook, and her calligraphy skills were not much better than Xu Xue's. After Xu Xi came over, she tried her best to integrate with the original owner's skills in her memory, and practiced according to the words in the book copied by Xu Yongzeng, and her points went from "0" to "0".
It became "1". Xu Yongzeng's handwriting was average, so no matter how hard she tried, she could not rise from "1" to "2".
Now that she has a good copybook and a clear goal for upgrading, she is even more motivated to earn points.
To be honest, on the surface she was disgusted with the Agile Pill, but deep down she still coveted it. After taking the Agility Pill, she was equivalent to having a certain level of martial arts. Those maids and women just wanted to fight
It's not easy to get to her. Even if there is no helper, she is not afraid.
She asked the system: "If I can reach the level of the best calligraphy master of this era, how many points can I earn for one word?"
"Host, wait a moment." After the system said this, there was no sound.
Xu Xi was startled and touched his chin, suddenly having a guess in his mind.
On the other end, the maids had already arranged everything. Seeing that Xu Xi was in a daze, Qing Feng quickly reminded her: "Girl, it's done."
Xu Xi finally came back to his senses and saw that everything was neatly placed on the table, and nodded with satisfaction.
She smiled and said to the two maids who were helping deliver things: "I have a lot of work today, and I should have invited the two sisters to tea. But I just came back, and I haven't received the monthly salary yet. I will ask Qingfeng to treat the two sisters later.
Have tea.”
Qing Feng was very surprised. Just now she saw Xu Xi talking to Mrs. Wei like that, which made Mrs. Wei very angry. She thought that this girl was really a country girl who didn't understand any rules.
But now it seems that he knows the rules, isn't he? This sentence is very appropriate.
The two maids waved their hands quickly and said a few polite words with a smile. When Qing Feng sent them out, they even praised Qing Feng: "The fifth girl is such a good person." Although this was meant to please Qing Feng, it was also
I have a very good impression of Xu Xi.
Qing Feng returned to the guest house thoughtfully, and saw Xu Xi standing in front of the table, practicing calligraphy stroke by stroke, with an extremely serious attitude. Looking at the words she wrote again, they were only different from the words on the copybook.
They were three-thirds similar, but in the eyes of ordinary people, they were considered pretty good. Qing Feng was surprised again.
This fifth girl really doesn't look like someone who grew up in a city or village. Not only is she literate, but she can also write so well.
But then she wanted to pat herself on the head.
Xu Xi can be admitted to a women's academy. Even if it is a county-level academy, she must have a certain degree of talent. She really had a different idea.
"Congratulations to the host, the wisdom value is 1."
