Chapter 58
Yang Qionghua thought for a while, tilted his head, and said softly, "I have been to the women's school's garden party a few times in the past. Yuhua Women's School and Kyoto Women's School are both held together. I remember that one time it was to appreciate the lanterns. The other time was flower viewing, which was very lively and a rare event in Beijing. I don’t know what to do this year?”
"At that time, the gates of the women's school in the east, south, west, and north will be opened, and there will be many tourists. In the school, some people will be selected to help entertain the guests." Yang Qionghua rested his cheeks in his hands, recalling Reaching out to grab Zhen Tingyun's sleeve, he asked with a smile, "How about we sign up and join in the fun together?"
Zhen Tingyun: "...let's say goodbye. I guess my grades won't be very good after the joint entrance examination between the two schools in a few days." Students should still focus on their studies, and those who do not pass well in the test, which one? Still have the face to go out and wander around?
As a talented woman, Yang Qionghua is still very confident about exams. It's just that she persuaded Zhen Tingyun to come from a clear angle: "Go on~ Anyway, the results should not have been released during the Qixi Festival, even if you do not pass the test, you can take advantage of the results before the results come out. what……"
Zhen Tingyun was also choked for a while, and he didn't know what to say - Yang Qionghua's words were like telling a seriously ill person: "You can't be cured anyway, and you can live a few more days before you die. "—It sounds like it's okay, but it always feels like something is wrong.
After choking for a long time, Zhen Tingyun had to shamelessly perfunctory the other party: "Let's take a look later."
As she said that, she skipped the topic and asked again about the details of the joint entrance examination between the two schools.
Seeing her questioning so carefully, Yang Qionghua didn't seem to understand at all, so she couldn't help but ask, "Didn't your sister tell you about the joint entrance examination between the two schools?" Logically, Zhen Yiyun was studying at Yuhua Girls' School, and she was older than them. Level 1, you must have a very clear understanding of the joint entrance examination between the two schools. It is impossible not to tell this sister Zhen Tingyun?
Zhen Tingyun's expression remained unchanged, he just shook his head, and didn't say anything more on this issue.
Yang Qionghua had a bottom line in his heart and couldn't help but sighed, and had to repeat the matter from the beginning: "It is true that there is no first place in literature, and no second in martial arts. Yuhua Women's School and Jingjing Women's School are among the best in Beijing. A group of friendly people, but privately they still have to compete for the top position of the top ten women's schools. Because of this, there is a joint examination between the two schools every year at the beginning of the semester and before graduation, in order to compare the students and teaching performance of the two women's schools. Of course, the saying on the surface is: learn from each other and make progress together. The joint entrance examination between the two schools is not only for our freshmen, but also for those who are one or two levels higher than us. When the two schools are ranked together, The top 100 will be selected for each level, and a list will be published."
Having said that, Yang Qionghua raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhen Tingyun.
She was petite and sweet, and her speech was crisp and crisp, as if she had no intentions, but at this time, her words had some special meaning: "Your sister Zhen Yiyun was the top of the list when she was admitted to Yuhua Girls' School last year. She has always been the top of their generation. Otherwise, the people in Beijing would not have specially praised someone like her as a talented woman."
Speaking of which, Yang Qionghua patted Zhen Tingyun on the shoulder very seriously and encouraged: "So, you have to work harder, otherwise she will be at the top of the list and you will be at the bottom of the list, although she is one level older than us, no A list is embarrassing enough."
Zhen Tingyun: "...Haha." You really look up to me, let alone the top of the list, I feel that I can't even make it to the bottom of the top 100 in the joint entrance examination between the two schools.
However, after Yang Qionghua said this, Zhen Tingyun also felt some pressure in his heart: Zhen Yiyun can't be at the top of the list, she can't even be on the list, right? too embarrassing...
So, she couldn't help but start thinking about going to Mrs. Chu after she met a few gentlemen in the afternoon. Maybe she could also ask about the scope of the joint entrance examination between the two schools this time, and if there were any suitable books for it. Temporary cramming.
There is such a thing in my heart, even after choosing a class, Zhen Tingyun and everyone go to the dining hall for lunch, and he will be absent-minded along the way.
Qian Manyue and Du Qingqing didn't know what Zhen Tingyun was worried about, they just looked at her face and didn't say much.
Only Yang Qionghua guessed something, raised his hand and pushed Zhen Tingyun, and said to her: "You haven't taken the test yet, so you're so worried. If it's the day of the test, won't you worry to death?"
Zhen Tingyun was amused by her exaggerated tone.
Yang Qionghua added: "My father often said that the more afraid you are, the less you can't be afraid of difficulties. You have to face the difficulties and work hard to achieve success. Then look at me, I was afraid of horseback riding when I was a child, and I even passed the entrance exam. C, why don't you choose Yushe now? The more afraid you are, the more you have to face it."
What Yang Qionghua said, Zhen Tingyun had heard her say it earlier, and felt very reasonable.
However, the reason is reasonable, Zhen Tingyun glanced at her, and pierced her words sharply: "You choose Yushe, probably because you are more afraid of being beaten by your father than riding a horse?"
Yang Qionghua blushed, pretending to be shy, turned his face and slapped Zhen Tingyun on the back: "You are so annoying, how can you say that to me?!"
Zhen Tingyun was almost not shot by her with internal injuries.
However, such a joke relieved the nervousness in Zhen Tingyun's heart a little. After a few people got to the dining hall, Zhen Tingyun took a meal and sat down. His mood was much more stable. He casually asked Qian Manyue and Du Qingqing what side classes they had chosen.
Du Qingqing looked quite interested: "The classics and history and etiquette are mandatory. Apart from these two, I chose poetry, calligraphy, chess, qin, dill flowers, and dance."
In fact, Du's father and Du's mother discussed with Du Qingqing about choosing a course long before she entered school. Du Qingqing is good at poetry, writing, chess, and piano. If she can study it further, it will definitely be very beneficial to her in the future. Du Qingqing chose both flowers and dance. She is lively and active, and likes to try new knowledge. She likes beautiful flowers and light dance clothes, so she chose these two courses. .
Qian Manyue chose the same courses, and said softly, "The courses I chose are similar to Qingqing's, but the Shihua course was already full when it was my turn, so I had to choose incense making."
Zhen Tingyun also told them a few sub-courses that he had chosen.
When Qian Manyue heard this, she was also amazed: "Wow, you actually chose seven sub-courses! With the addition of classics, history and etiquette, that's nine!" After a pause, she asked again, "I heard that making incense still pays off. We have to prepare the spices, why don't we go buy them together in the afternoon?"
"No need," Zhen Tingyun said casually without thinking, "I have prepared the spices before I entered school."
Qian Manyue heard the words, her face changed, it seemed a pity, and after a while, she said: "Well then..."
Zhen Tingyun heard the reluctance in her tone, raised his eyes, took a deep look at her, and smiled: "I have to see Mr. in the afternoon, I'm afraid I can't accompany you to buy things with you, you should go first. ."
Du Qingqing didn't pay much attention to this, nodded, and then smiled as if remembering something: "That's right, we choose a lot of different things, even if we go shopping together, I'm afraid it's not convenient."
Zhen Tingyun nodded: "Yes."
After lunch was over, Du Qingqing and Qian Manyue wanted to go back to the house to rest for a while, while Zhen Tingyun accompanied Yang Qionghua for a walk outside, and the two talked while walking.
After the two sides separated, Yang Qionghua raised his eyes to look at Zhen Tingyun and joked, "You go to Mrs. Chu this afternoon, do you want to ask Mrs. Chu to change you into a single room?"
Zhen Tingyun shook his head: "I haven't reached the point where I have to change rooms, I just wanted to ask Mrs. Chu what books to read before the exam."
Yang Qionghua clicked his tongue and teased her with a smile: "I don't change this? I think the surnamed Qian is very careful..."
Zhen Tingyun was not very surprised that Yang Qionghua was able to see through Qian Manyue's calculations. After all, she knew very well: there are many smart people in this world, but many people just see through it but don't say it. Therefore, if someone like Zhen Yiyun or Qian Manyue is smart, unless they really can't be traced, it will be obvious enough in the eyes of smart people...
Like Qian Manyue, he chose six courses, five courses were similar to Du Qingqing, and one course was similar to Zhen Tingyun. It was definitely not a so-called coincidence. What's more, she also offered to buy the necessary items for the class together. Therefore, Zhen Tingyun immediately guessed: Qian Manyue guessed that she wanted to use her roommate to buy things and take advantage of it. After all, she has been talking about her family's difficulties repeatedly since yesterday. Her own misery, when it comes to paying the money, as long as she shows a shy appearance, the roommate will take the initiative to settle the bill for her, which saves her embarrassment and saves money.
Now that Yang Qionghua said it, Zhen Tingyun also said it straight: "Qian Manyue's family is poor, so her thoughts in this regard are inevitably a little more subtle. Although her thinking of seeking compensation from others is not a good thing, she is not good at it. It's not good for me to be too fussy."
the most important is
"It's better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Although Qian Manyue is not a villain, such a person can be troublesome even if he is in a hurry." Zhen Tingyun had some confidence in Yang Qionghua's character and spoke up He was also very frank, "After all, I came to study and go to school. I really don't want to worry about these troubles."
Zhen Tingyun said so frankly and directly, but Yang Qionghua was a little surprised and looked at her with wide eyes.
Zhen Tingyun winked at her with a sincere smile: "Benefits are three friends. You are straight, you are understanding, and you are knowledgeable. I ask myself if I am not honest or knowledgeable, so I have to try my best to be honest."
If you want to make friends, you can't hide it, you should show your sincerity.
For some reason, Yang Qionghua suddenly felt very happy. She blinked her eyes, took a few steps forward, took Zhen Tingyun's hand, and smiled: "If Madam Chu really gave you a book to read before the exam, remember to tell me, I will accompany you before the exam. review."
A girl of this age has delicate and fair palms, and the back of her hands reflects light, white as snow, delicate like lotus petals that have just been plucked, still fragrant.
When held together, it is like a lotus flower.
Zhen Tingyun thought: She will never be as stupid as she dreamed before coming to Beijing. This time, she has been admitted to women's school and has a new beginning. From then on, she will study hard, have her own mentors and friends, and find her own happy marriage.
In short, she will never let Zhen Yiyun or others disturb her life again.
******
Zhen Tingyun had a busy and fulfilling afternoon. She took a total of seven sub-courses, plus the two courses of classics and history and etiquette, there were nine courses in total, so she had to meet nine gentlemen, and it was only for the nine courses. The volume of the book was so heavy that she could barely lift her arm.
Then, she went to see Mrs. Chu again, got a few volumes of books from Mrs. Chu, took Yang Qionghua to study it, and the two went to buy some things for the class together. After she turned around, had dinner, and went back to the house to rest with her belongings, she opened the door and felt that something was wrong: there was no one in this room, no lights were lit, it was pitch black, and no one could see her fingers. Even in the air in the house, there seems to be some mixed aroma.
Zhen Tingyun vaguely had a bad premonition in his heart. He put down the things in his hand first, and raised his hand to light the lamp. The light illuminated the room brightly, and she discovered the chaos in the room:
The window was half open, and it seemed that a cat had come in.
The reason why it is said to be a cat is because the cabinets in the house have also been opened, and there are traces of the cat's claws on the things that were turned out in the cabinets. Especially in Zhen Tingyun's cabinet, everything in it was caught in a mess, leaving a lot of cat paw prints. Especially the spices that Zhen Tingyun had put in the cabinet - those spices were originally wrapped in paper, and the names of the spices were marked on them, but somehow they were scratched by the cat's claws, and even the spices were scattered on the ground.
All kinds of spices were randomly mixed together, and because the window was open and the wind was blowing, the aroma of the spices not only did not disperse, but mixed together.This is also the reason why Zhen Tingyun smelled the messy aroma in the air as soon as he came in.
Zhen Tingyun took a deep breath and bit his lip, trying to suppress the sudden anger in his heart.
But she was so angry that her eyes were so red that she almost cried - this is the spice that Yuan Hui specially prepared for her!
For Zhen Tingyun, these spices are equivalent to Yuan Hui's intentions, and she has always kept them carefully and could not bear to live up to them.She even took an extra incense-making class for this.
That's why she can't see others spoiling these things!Live up to such a precious and rare heart!
The author has something to say: Zhen Tingyun: I'm so angry, I don't want to cause trouble, just treat me as a sick cat?!
