Walking out of Jane's Mansion, Qingshu was still dizzy.

When I got home, Qingshu still didn't understand: "Why would Mr. Qu instruct me in painting?" ”

Fu Ran explained with a smile: "It was Jian Shu who felt that you had a talent for painting, so he asked him to guide you." ”

Qing Shu asked a little puzzled, "But didn't Mr. Jian say that my paintings have no aura?" ”

Without the aura, the craftsmanship is too heavy, and it is destined to not go far. Hearing so many people commenting on her paintings, Qingshu took this as a hobby before painting.

Fu Ran said with a smile: "As long as you learn from Mr. Qu seriously, there is no problem with the painter." ”

"Really?"

Throughout the ages, there have been a few great painters. Therefore, Qingshu does not have this luxury. Being able to become a painter is also extremely powerful.

Fu Ran looked at her like this and said with a smile: "Naturally, it's true." Although Mr. Qu's painting is not as good as before, his painting skills are very high and his knowledge is also very wide. As long as you learn from her seriously, it shouldn't be difficult to become a painter. ”

Qing Shu hesitated and said, "The exam is coming up in the spring, will learning painting with Mr. Qu affect the exam now?" ”

Fu Ranguaner: "You can't even do the topic that Qu Yuanyuan can't do, and if Jinling Girls' School doesn't accept you, that's their loss." ”

After a pause, Fu Ran said again; "You should learn from Mr. Qu. If you study well, you will be able to integrate well into your classmates when you enter a women's school in the future. ”

This female student often holds poetry parties or something, and if she doesn't want to be excluded, she will definitely go to participate. It's not good to compose poetry, but if there are others who are good at it, others can tolerate it. But if you don't know anything, you will definitely be despised. Even if others don't despise it, Qingshu will feel inferior when he comes out of this environment.

Qing Shu thought of the contemptuous eyes of the five girls of the Wang family, and Qing Shu felt uncomfortable. So this opportunity, she will take advantage of it.

"Teacher, Mr. Jane is so nice."

Fu Ran smiled: "She also has selfish intentions. There is also competition between female schools, Jinling Women's School has lagged behind Kyoto Women's School in recent years, and Jian Shu and they all want to break back a game with a sigh of relief. If you have achieved a little success in painting, you will have more confidence in the future. ”

Qingshu couldn't help but sigh: "Where there are people, there are disputes." ”

Fu Ran scolded with a smile: "What do you always feel? I don't know, I thought you were a little old lady! ”

This kid is good anywhere, but he is too old to become. Sometimes in the face of her, Fu Ran always feels that she is dealing with her peers.

From this day on, Qingshu followed Fu Ran to class in the morning, and went to Jianfu in the afternoon to learn painting with Qu Gouxun.

Under Qu Gouxun's guidance, although Qingshu's painting skills did not improve as quickly as Fu Ran expected, he also benefited a lot. However, Qingshu was thinking about the exam and didn't dare to spend too much time on it.

Qu Gouxun and Jian Shu said: "It's a pity, if this kid can concentrate on learning to paint, maybe he will be able to achieve great success in the future." ”

Jian Shu smiled and said, "This kid's ideal is Cowenhuatang. If you concentrate on learning painting, I am afraid it will be difficult to be admitted to Wenhua Hall. Moreover, this child lacks aura, and the probability of becoming a great painter is very small. ”

And this is also the reason why she asked Qu Gouxun to guide Qingshu, instead of accepting apprentices.

Qu Gouxun smiled and asked, "Then you say, can this kid be admitted to Wenhua Hall?" ”

"You probably don't know yet, do you? This kid is very good at arithmetic, and she can do all the questions that Yuanyuan can't do. ”

Qu Yuanyuan is a female student in the first class of Xuanji, and her arithmetic is not bad.

Qu Gouxun was really surprised: "So powerful? ”

Jian Shu said with a smile: "The Four Books and the Five Classics are all memorized backwards. I heard Fu Ran say that she also read a lot of books, including agricultural books and history books, as well as miscellaneous books such as travelogues and dramas. ”

She is a teacher and she encourages her students to read more. As long as it's not about love, this book or a chungong diagram like this, you can read other books. Read more books to broaden your knowledge.

Qu Gouxun smiled: "No wonder you are so attentive to her, I see." ”

"It's good that you know, but don't leak it out for me!"

Qu Gouxun smiled slightly: "When do you think I interfered in the affairs of your school?" ”

Hoping that the son will become a dragon and the daughter will become a phoenix, many people want to enroll their daughters into Jinling Women's School. If you can't get in, you want to go through the back door, Jian Shu is the deputy head of Jinling Girls' School. Many people couldn't find Jian Shu, so they found Qu Gouxun. However, Qu Gouxun refused.

If Qing Shu knew that Jian Shu had high hopes for her, there would be no sense of urgency.

Two carriages were speeding down the road, and no one passing by could help but stop and look. I don't know whose family is buying so many things.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

Laixi was cooking a fire in the house when he heard a knock on the door and shouted, "Who ......?"

The outsider responded: "I am the steward of the Qi Mansion, and I am sent something on the orders of my wife." ”

Hearing that it was Mrs. Qi who sent something, Laixi hurriedly went out to open the door. Looking at the two big carts of things, he liked to say happily: "Please come in, please come in." ”

The surname Zhong who sent things was called Lao Zhong in Qi Mansion. When Lao Zhong saw Qingshu, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times: "The girl is fine." ”

Qingshu nodded and said, "Uncle Zhong, you go down first and drink hot soup to warm up your body." ”

More than 20 large boxes were carried into the hall, and Qingshu was a little dumbfounded: "This is too much." ”

Old Zhong said with a smile: "It's not much, it's all some clothes." ”

There are only 12 sets of new clothes, and the winter clothes are very thick and take up space. In addition, two fox fur coats and two cloaks were made.

Mrs. Qi was thoughtful, and also made a big coat for Fu Ran and Fu Jingze, but as for the clothes, there were no more.

The old bell handed a mahogany box carved with begonia flowers to Qing Shu: "Girl, this is the jewelry that Mrs. bought for you, see if you like it or not." ”

This mahogany box contains gold and silver jewelry worn by some children, from hairpins to pearls and emeralds.

Qingshu took the box and said; "Uncle Zhong, go back and tell your aunt not to send so many things again."

"The old slave must bring the words."

He is also an errand runner, and if Mrs. doesn't listen to this, then it's not up to him to call the shots.

Old Zhong pointed to a neatly dressed girl beside him and said, "Girl, this maid is called Cai Meng, and people who have learned the rules are also clever." If the girl doesn't dislike it, stay by her side, and if the girl doesn't like me, I'll take her back. ”

Mrs. Qi also heard that Qingshu didn't even have a maid, so she sent someone over.

"No, I've already bought a maid."

When Cai Meng heard this, he was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Ask the girl to accept the slave!" ”

If he is returned, his wife doesn't want her, and he is likely to become a miscellaneous servant of the Qi Mansion. The days of miscellaneous servants are very hard, how can there be such a decent and comfortable girl's personal maid.

Qingshu happened to lack a maid to call, and when he heard the words, he asked, "Are you literate?" ”

Hearing that Cai Meng was literate, Qingshu left her behind.
