Chapter 143 Tears Flying
Chapter 143 Tears Flying
After leaving the main hall, Wang Jinyi breathed a long sigh of relief. This was basically how the assessment was conducted.
Now that I have a clear idea, there will be no problem. At the same time, I also understand that the clan leader is not testing me to make things difficult for me. The test questions are completely based on practical real-life situations and are all targeted.
The clan woman watched the girl jump and skip happily, and ran happily into the west room to practice calligraphy. She felt like she had a chance to get back at the defeat.
Wang Jinyi looked at the clan leader and his mother, chatting while he casually wrote a few words from the family motto in three different fonts.
Wang Jinyi was so surprised that she wanted to kowtow. Oh my God! Can anyone write so beautifully? When can I write like this? I don’t want this last place!
Why? Why can't my own words stand firm?
No wonder the comment left by the clan leader before he left was, "Don't be too bad, it's not too bad!" It's true, it's too bad, wuwuwu...
My heart is not crying, but bleeding! Who can understand me! Wang Jinyi almost gave up the idea of catching up with anyone.
There was a little man in my mind, lying on the ground crying bitterly, tears flying out more than three feet...
Wang Jinyi suddenly held up the clan lady's calligraphy and didn't say a word for a long time. His mother and the clan lady looked at Wang Jinyi's similar expression and smiled, then continued to talk about the clan's recently opened school.
As requested by the young lady, Qingyu gave Wumei 40 taels of silver, saying it was the travel expenses for the two of them. Qingyu insisted that the two of them put their fingerprints on the small note written by the young lady. Qingyu was extremely reluctant, so she put the money in a small cloth bag for the two of them. When she handed it to them, she looked at them several times, with her eyes flying around. She wanted to say a few more words, but Wumei had already dragged Fengjie out of the house to chase someone.
The Cao family's convoy going to the capital had left. As for how the two of them traveled and stayed overnight, Wang Jinyi had no idea.
Wang Jinyi now only knew that in front of the powerful writing skills of the Wang clan, she was nothing but a loser, but she was unwilling to accept that she was so bad that she was beyond their reach. Her heart was full of tears, and she gritted her teeth and wrote fiercely.
Wang Jinyi's head was full of the ancestral precepts written by the flying clan woman. He didn't feel tired at all. He just kept writing and time passed quickly.
According to the daily rules, Zhu Yu reminded the young lady:
"Miss, one hour is up."
Wang Jinyi didn't hear and just kept writing. Zhu Yu continued:
"Miss, it's time to rest."
Wang Jinyi ignored her, and the nurse whispered in her ear:
"Miss, you have written enough for today and can take a rest. There is still work for tomorrow. We can continue writing tomorrow. There is no rush!"
Before the wet nurse could finish her words, Wang Jinyi looked up at Zhu Yu and then at the wet nurse.
"Everyone, go down. I'll write for another half an hour. Don't call me!"
Zhu Yu and the wet nurse looked at each other. Knowing that the young lady was in a bad mood, they dared not say anything and served the young lady obediently. Zhu Yu slowly ground ink for the young lady while the wet nurse stood behind the young lady and fanned her obediently.
The room fell silent for a moment, and one could even hear the young lady's heavy breathing, expressing her unwillingness.
Qingyu went to see the young lady with today's account book, wanting to ask about the 40 taels of silver she spent, which was the net profit of Taisheng Rice Shop for a month! Qingyu felt so distressed that she wanted to ask the young lady why she had to give so much money to the two girls.
You don't even need a mortgage, you just give me the money without saying anything, I'm afraid the young lady has been cheated! Qingyu walked in with a lot of unhappiness, but she saw something strange today, the young lady was still practicing calligraphy.
While grinding the ink, Zhu Yu carefully placed his right index finger on his lips and whispered:
"Shh..."
Qingyu looked at the wet nurse again, who was fanning the young lady. She nodded slightly, then drooped her eyelids. She no longer looked away and continued to fan the young lady seriously without saying a word.
Qingyu gently put away the account books and IOUs in his hand, and stood obediently by the door waiting.
Qing'er pushed the door open and entered the room, breaking the silence of the west room.
"Miss, Madam said that she is looking for someone. If you want to make it convenient for you, please go to Madam's room and talk."
This is because her mother wanted to know about her and posted missing person notices everywhere, wanting to know the reason. In fact, since she started looking for her, Wang Jinyi had already thought about how to explain it to her family, but it was not possible now.
So without looking up, he continued:
"Qing'er, go tell mother that I'm learning calligraphy. I'll go see her in half an hour."
This way of answering was a habit developed in the previous life, and Wang Jinyi didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but Qing'er was stunned for a moment, and soon after she went back, the clan wife followed.
Wang Jinyi did not look up. The room was very quiet. The three servants knelt down and saluted the clan woman, and no one spoke.
The clan woman originally came to remind Wang Jinyi that "when parents call, you should not delay" and should abide by clan etiquette. However, after entering the house, the clan woman stared blankly at the little girl, who was writing page after page without raising her head. She was almost oblivious to herself.
The lady of the clan did not say anything. She found a chair and sat down by herself, looking at the little girl and writing on the table attentively.
The child is too small and not tall enough, so in order to reach the table, a small drum stool must be added to the big chair so that the child's two little arms can be lifted onto the table. However, the arms are not long enough, so the stool can only be pushed to the edge of the table. In this way, the child's two knees are tightly pressed against the wooden board on the side of the table.
The child's arms are very short, and the length of the brush handle exceeds her forearm, making her very inflexible when bending her wrist. The girl is naturally weak, and her arms naturally ache after hanging her wrist for too long, but the child is still stubborn and refuses to give up.
The clan wife nodded secretly in her heart, and recalled what the clan leader said before he left.
"…let her know her shortcomings. If she works hard, she will be a blessing to the Wang family. If she does not make progress, she will be just an ordinary person. You just need to teach her the clan rules. If this child is arrogant or false, you need to remind the Xunyang Wang family to keep a close eye on the child and not bring disaster to the Wang family…"
The lady's expression changed. She stood up and walked to Wang Jinyi's desk. She held Wang Jinyi's hand and took the brush away.
Wang Jinyi was about to get angry, her eyebrows raised, but when she saw it was the clan's wife, she immediately wilted.
"Master, you..."
"You can't practice calligraphy with emotion, and you can't think that you can improve just by writing more. You don't really understand the method of calligraphy. So I'll write a few character heads for you, and then you can copy them, and we'll discuss them tomorrow!"
Wang Jinyi was at a loss when an idol suddenly showed up to give her guidance. She was so overjoyed that she nodded her head like a rattle.
The clan woman gently stroked the girl's head with pity, walked to the same side as Wang Jinyi, spread out the paper, and took another pen...
