The two of them each played two pieces of music and exchanged their thoughts for a while. After that, they had someone bring in a chessboard to play a few games. When they were tired, they drank some tea. [No pop-up novel website]
Xu Nuo was left aside during the whole process.
Aunt Du ridiculed the promise many times, with a tone of disdain and contempt. Xu Qian earnestly advised Aunt Du to talk less, pretending to defend the promise.
Xu Nuo, however, took a chess book and read it with gusto, turning a deaf ear to Aunt Du's harsh words.
Even though Xu Qian could hold her breath, she couldn't bear Xu Nuo's cold response, and finally spoke to Xu Nuo: "Liu Niang, don't you remember things? Can you still read?" Xu Nuo didn't know how to read before she lost her memory. .
Xu Nuo didn't respond. When Xu Qian turned her head in embarrassment and was about to talk to Aunt Du, she replied: "I can't read, but I can still recognize some of the images."
Xu Qian's back stiffened for a moment, then she laughed and said generously: "If Liu Niang likes it, the fourth sister will give you the chess book." This chess book is an ancient book, and Aunt Du found it for her. She has been grounded for the past few days. She was studying it at that time, but she couldn't figure it out even though she turned over it several times.
Xu Nuo grinned and her eyes sparkled: "Thank you, Fourth Sister." After reading it, she understood the value of this book. She didn't expect that Xu Qian was so generous and wanted to give it to herself.
Xu Qian was stunned for a moment. She thought Xu Nuo was trying to cover up her embarrassment, so she casually took the chess records from Pingji and pretended to read them seriously. When Xu Nuo mentioned the chess records to himself, he would naturally put them down in shame.
I said it casually, but Xu Xu actually agreed. This was too thick-skinned.
Did Xu Nuo have amnesia or was he too stupid to notice such a thing? Or was it intentional?
I didn't want to give up the chess records, but I had already said the words. I was so confused that I forced a smile: "What's there to thank you for? Since you also like Go, why not play a game with me."
"Fourth sister, this is my first time seeing someone play chess, and my first time seeing chess records. How dare I play against you? I'll come back to Fourth Sister when I learn how to do it." Xu Nuo was elated at the moment. Such precious chess records were enough for her to study for several times. It's night.
After finishing speaking, he held the chess book in his arms and stood up to leave, leaving Xu Qian with a fake smile.
Xu Nuo put the chess set back in the house first, ate something and went directly to Yingchengyuan without rest.
Mrs. Lu was not in the house, but Xu Gucheng was in the small study.
He saw Xu Nuo standing outside the door, put down the wolf hair in his hand and let Xu Nuo come in.
As soon as he entered the door, Xu Nuo saw two bookshelves filled with books, calligraphy and paintings, as well as a long piece of paper hanging on the wall.
In surprise, my eyes couldn't help but turn from the words on the wall to Xu Gucheng's desk. Bai Xuan was a half-painted picture of an outing in early spring. There was a stream nearby. Seven or eight men in robes were drinking tea by the stream. In the distance, They are children flying kites and teenagers playing Cuju.
Although it is not a meticulous painting, it is still very detailed, and you can see the happy expressions on the children's faces.
When Xu Gucheng saw Xu Nuo looking at it seriously, a smile appeared on his face. His daughter used to be reluctant to even take a step closer to the study room, but now she can look at his paintings with fascination.
For a full quarter of an hour, Xu Nuo's eyes did not leave the paintings on the desk, and then he stared at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall in rapt attention. Suddenly he turned his head and looked at Xu Gucheng, and asked: "Dad, can you teach the children to read and draw?"
In her previous life, her grandfather would take out the calligraphy and painting collections to dry them out and explain them to her every year. In addition, she often went to museums in middle school, so she had a certain level of appreciation for calligraphy and painting.
So I was shocked when I saw Xu Gucheng's handwriting and was immediately impressed.
Her grandfather taught her calligraphy in the past, but she felt that calligraphy with brushes was of little use and she did not practice it seriously. However, in the Song Dynasty, beautiful regular script was very important.
Her father has such a good hand. If she doesn't humbly ask for advice, wouldn't it be a waste of resources?
I decided to forget my previous understanding of calligraphy and start from scratch.
Xu Gucheng looked shocked for a moment, and then returned to his usual gentleness: "Okay." He did not ask Xu Nuo why he wanted to teach instead of Lu, or why he wanted to hire a teacher.
One word is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
For some reason, Xu Nuo felt that as long as his father said it, he would definitely do it. His father's promise made people feel at ease.
Could it be that his father named Xu Liuniang Nuo and his grandfather had the same intention in naming him? A thousand pieces of gold and a promise.
Just do what you say, a promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
A big smile appeared on Xu Nuo's face.
Xu Gucheng immediately took out the rice paper and chose a suitable brush for Xu Nuo.
He was extremely patient and had a gentle voice. He taught me how to read the word "promise" and what to pay attention to when writing.
Xu Nuo has great strength in his hand and can be considered steady with his pen, but after writing, he is not even close to Xu Gucheng.
Xu Gucheng asked her to practice a horizontal piece first, and then a vertical piece, starting with the strokes.
Xu Nuo is determined to forget her past calligraphy foundation and start from scratch, but after all, her mind needs to be more mature, so she can learn quickly.
An hour passed quickly.
A boy appeared outside the door.
Xu Nuo's senses are very sensitive and her hearing is different from ordinary people, so she noticed when the boy was ten steps away from the study.
To her surprise, her father discovered the arrival of the boy almost at the same time as her.
Xu Gucheng turned his head and glanced, nodded slightly, and the boy said, "Steward Jiang is waiting for you in the study in the outer courtyard."
Xu Gucheng was the second son and did not need to take care of the household affairs, but he kept the housekeeper he brought back from Bianjing.
He nodded to show that he understood, then smiled and said to Xunuo: "There are some things about being a father. You should practice it yourself first. If you are missing anything, tell Grandma Li and let her prepare it for you."
After saying that, he stood up and left. Xu Nuo propped up his ears and heard his footsteps slowing down at first, and then getting faster and faster. It was obvious that something was urgent.
Xu Nuo packed up the things on the desk, stretched and walked out.
A voice came to my ears: "Madam."
Xunuo was shocked and took two steps back, only to realize that it was July. Didn’t you leave in July? Why didn't she know?
"Have you always been here?" Xu Nuo covered up the panic on his face.
Qiyue didn't expect Xunuo's reaction. She didn't dare to look at Xunuo. She turned to look at her feet and whispered: "The little one has been outside the study and never left half a step."
Xu Nuo nodded, she trusted Qi Qiyue, she didn't trust anyone who was suspicious, and she didn't trust anyone who employed her.
What made her ignore the existence of July?
She has always been confident, even a little arrogant, about her acuity and hearing.
Xunuo looked at Qiyue doubtfully and remained motionless. Qiyue raised her eyes and saw Xunuo's probing eyes and shrank her neck into her shoulders in shock.
After half a cup of tea, Xu Nuo discovered that Qi Yue's breathing rate was slower than that of ordinary people. Perhaps it was because of this that he didn't notice her and ignored her just now.
The sense of existence in July is lower than that of ordinary people!
