boudoir

Chapter 115 I Have an Exception
The characters brought back by the old man were imitated from grandpa's handwriting. Liuli saw it early in the morning. What surprised her was not only that there was someone imitating grandpa's handwriting outside, but even the old man and Guo Xia knew it, and they both called him "Lan" Mr. Qing", does this mean that the grandfather was once very famous, or does it mean that both of them knew him?

From the word "Lanqing" on Mo He's picture, she suspected that it was grandfather's own handwriting, because she could tell the calligraphy and painting of grandfather at a glance. I thought that even the court ministers and people in the palace knew him.

Such an honor made her a little uncertain. Is the grandfather really the grandfather of the country school teacher she thought?
Guo Xia looked at the character for a while, and said: "At first glance, this character looks like a half-like imitation, but the resemblance is only on the surface, not in it. There are not many characters left by Mr. Lan Qing, I am afraid that there are only a few of them. There are some places in the palace, but there are no other places." She sighed and put down the words.

Liuli couldn't help but said, "Who is this Mr. Lan Qing?"

Both Guo Xia and the old man looked at her, and after a while the old man's face darkened: "You shouldn't ask, don't talk too much!"

Liu Li saw that they were chatting very happily, she thought she could find out a few words, but unexpectedly the old man is like this, so it is difficult to talk.Guo Xia glanced at her, and then discussed with the old man some experience in calligraphy and painting. Liu Li was sitting beside her bored, so she took the scroll and looked at it, and saw a small word printed on the bottom right corner: Shangpin Study Room.

It was about time to touch a cup of tea, when the old lady heard that Guo Xia was coming, she came out of the Buddhist hall and went straight to the hall.After the two parties had met the ceremony, the old lady left and went to the study. The old lady asked Guo Xia, "Is your highness still in good health?"

Guo Xia smiled and said, "Your Highness is fine, but there is something wrong with the young prince."

The old lady hurriedly said, "How about Xiao Shizi?"

Guo Xia pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just that when I went to Jinquan Temple that day, I accidentally suffered some minor injuries, and then the child didn't let anyone tell the adults, and after returning to the room, he took medicine and applied it casually. In the past two days, I developed a fever, and the people in the house were afraid of something bad, so I told Mrs. Shizi. After two days of medical treatment, I have already recovered."

The old lady couldn't help being surprised when she heard this: "Fortunately, it was discovered early. What if we delay? Your Highness is in a hurry, right?"

"Isn't it?" Guo Xia sighed, "Little Shizi has been clever and clever since he was a child, and he respects his parents and elders the most. Your Highness really hurts this little grandson like an eyeball. How often does he suffer like this? He was in a hurry for two days."

Liuli has never had a good impression of the princes and brothers of noble families. Although she has never met this eldest princess in person, she does not know how to be virtuous and virtuous, but after listening to Guo Xia's words, she feels that this little prince must be He was the kind of dandy who was spoiled, and suddenly he didn't think so.

Guo Xia sat for a while, then got up to leave, and the old lady asked Liuli to take her out.When you arrive at the gate of the courtyard, please walk slowly along the colored glass trail.Guo Xia suddenly turned around, looked at her and said, "Ninth Miss seems to have good calligraphy, and the words on the lanterns on the Lantern Festival are still deep in my memory."

Liuli hurriedly said: "The junior's words are not worthy of being praised in front of the master."

Guo Xia twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, took out a piece of paper from the armband, looked at it, handed it to her, and said, "Such writing skills are truly unforgettable."

Liuli took a look, and suddenly her heart was in her throat!This note was actually the one written by Yan Hua to let the little maid quietly hand it to Guo Xia after she got drunk to Wutong Court that day!
She actually recognized it was her handwriting!

Liuli raised her head and looked over in awe. The corners of Guo Xia's mouth were tense, and there was a trace of sullenness in her brows.

"Sir, I'm sorry." She lowered her head and bowed deeply to her. "It was my fault."

Guo Xia said sternly: "I only admit my mistake now that I came to you, don't you think it's too late?!"

Liu Li's lips parted, she bowed again and said, "This junior knows that his crime is unforgivable, but it's up to you."

Guo Xia stared at the top of her head for a while, then quickly withdrew the note in her hand, took a breath and said, "Girls come to Wutongyuan to find me tomorrow after school!"

After she finished speaking, she didn't turn her head back, and left with Shi Mo who was waiting for her in the front porch.

Liuli watched her walk away, and also went back to the room listlessly.

There is an old saying that if you want people to not know, you have to do nothing unless you do nothing about it. It seems that this is true. Xu Liuli always prides herself on doing everything without mistakes, but she never thought that Guo Xia would catch her dead in this matter, old man Both the old lady and He Yuli can recognize her handwriting, as long as she puts this note in their hands, the fact that Yan Hua was framed will be exposed, and even if she is not blamed by them, that hag of Nie's That's enough for her.

But what did Guo Xia ask her to do?Punish her to write and copy scriptures?Clean the study?Although she did not worship her as a teacher, if she was punished for making a mistake, it would not be considered an overstep.If it's just punishment, she can bear it, but don't bring the matter to the front yard.

After tossing and turning all night, by the afternoon of the next day, Liuli had already made the worst preparations, and when the girls from Shenshi finished school, they packed up and went out.

When they arrived at the Indus Courtyard, the girls had already left, and Shi Mo was cleaning the school, perhaps he had already received Guo Xia's order, and when he saw her coming, Shi Mo wiped his hands and led her to the east study.

"Mr. is in the room, please come in, girl."

After Si Mo explained, he withdrew.Liuli remembered that it was the day when the place was covered in black smoke, so she couldn't help swallowing, and then pushed the door open.

Guo Xia was writing at the desk, glanced at her, then lowered her head to write.Liuli walked to the desk, bowed deeply and said, "Mr., please accept this junior's worship."

Guo Xia remained silent, and after finishing writing, she said slowly, "How many years have you been studying?"

Liuli pondered for a moment, then said: "I never studied under a teacher, but only studied under my grandfather for a few years."

Guo Xia raised her head, "Who did you learn calligraphy from?"

"My grandfather." Liuli also raised her head and said.

Guo Xian thought about it, took a few books stacked on the side, took out the note again from it, glanced at it, and then pulled out another blank piece of paper and put it in front of her, "Except for regular characters, write your last note. Write it in the font you are good at."

Liuli was startled, not knowing what she was going to do, she paused for a moment, then wrote Xingliu style as she did that day in the old man's house.Guo Xia glanced at her eyes, and her eyes became dignified, but she frowned after a while: "Although this word is good, it definitely doesn't look like it has been practiced for five or six years. Rewrite it!" He took out another blank paper and put it on. in front of her, and tapped her knuckles.

No matter how good it is than the willow script, apart from the regular script, there is only the script created by the grandfather. Could it be that she wants to write the script of the grandfather?She glanced at Guo Xia in embarrassment, Guo Xia stood up, and said with a heavy face, "You can write if you don't want to. For as long as the fifth girl has been cleaning the study, you can clean here as long as you like."

Yanhua has been cleaning here for two consecutive months, but she still has to take care of the old lady, how can she stay here for so long?But Guo Xia doesn't look like someone who can joke around, so it's probably true that he opened his mouth.She gritted her teeth, looked at her and said, "Since Mr. asked me to write, I dare not stop writing, but there is something that I have to discuss with Mr. first."

Guo Xia turned around holding the scroll: "What's the matter?"

Liuli pointed to the note on the desk, and said, "After it's finished, sir, you have to return this to me. And please don't mention this to anyone."

Guo Xia said: "It's too late to watch." He glanced at her as he spoke.

Liuli nodded, picked another pen from the pen holder, soaked it up with ink, and swiped the song "Manjianghong" on the white paper with luck.

Guo Xia has been watching from the sidelines, her eyes have changed from indifferent at the beginning to surprise later, and then to shock at the end. When she finishes writing the last word, she has held her breath and cannot speak!
Liuli lightly placed the pen on the inkstone, raised her head and said, "Sir, it's done."

Guo Xia raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at her for a long time, and said, "Your grandfather taught you this too?"

Liuli nodded: "From the day I knew how to grasp a pen, my grandfather taught me to write this kind of calligraphy. I have practiced it longer than regular script, and it has been more than five years."

Guo Xia picked up the handwriting and said quietly: "If I hadn't watched you write it with my own eyes, I would have thought it was his own handwriting... He even gave this kind of handwriting a name, did your grandfather tell you? "

Liuli hummed and said: "That's right, it's called Yan body. Grandpa said its essence is that every stroke seems to be endless and endless, so it's called 'Yan body'."

Guo Xia stared at her for a moment, then suddenly walked to the window, and turned around after a while: "What's your grandfather's name?"

"Xu Qiuyin." Liuli pondered for a while and said.

"Xu...Xu...um."

Guo Xia chewed these two words, thinking about something, walked back and forth in the room for a few times, then slowly stopped, and looked at Liuli again.His expression changed from doubt to affirmation, and then to incredulity, and then he looked at the song "Manjianghong", and his eyes showed two points of imperceptible joy.

And since listening to the conversation between the old man and her yesterday, Liuli began to have an intuition that the grandfather who had always kept a low profile in her impression might have something to do with this group of people, and his words were the window to this secret.So she calculated every step of the conversation with Guo Xia, hoping to find out something quietly.

"Do you want to be my disciple?"

While thinking about it, Guo Xia, who had been watching her for a long time in the room, suddenly spoke to her in a tone that tended to discuss.

Liuli has always known that she has the rule of only accepting daughters-in-law as apprentices, so she never thought of fighting for this way. When she heard this, she couldn't help being shocked, and stared at her for a long time. After she was sure that she was not joking, she went Nena said: "Sir, sir, don't you accept concubine girls as disciples? I am the most hopeless concubine girl in this mansion."

Guo Xia turned her head and smiled at her, "Rules are made by people, of course, I have exceptions."
