Chapter 18
Straightening her stiff index finger, Jin Xi threw the pen away and asked Qing Xing feebly, "How many?"
Qing Xing neatly stacked the rough-edged papers on the table, counted them carefully twice, and immediately cheered, "Enough is enough, 25 sheets are exactly [-] large characters."
"I'm exhausted! I'm exhausted! Come here and rub my arms!" Jin Xi threw herself on the bed, stretched herself into a big shape, and began to howl.
The magpie who came to collect homework happened to come in, took the large characters written by Jinxi from Qing Xing, counted them several times like counting bank notes, and said with a frown: "I have all of them today, but the girl broke a hundred of them yesterday." , sir asked you to rewrite it?"
Jin Xi put her head under the quilt, "Sister, please forgive me, you go back and tell your husband, I will make up for the missing parts tomorrow."
Qing Xing also hurriedly chimed in, "Our girl has been writing for four hours today without taking a break, and I haven't had dinner yet, so I'll be exhausted if I continue writing!"
Magpie looked embarrassed, these days she came to Xuefeng Pavilion to collect Jinxi's homework every day, not only could she justifiably avoid Mr. Yun Zong's penetrating piano sound, but she could also have a tooth-beating ceremony and eat some snacks offered by the old lady.She was too short-mouthed, so she was too embarrassed to open her mouth to refuse Jinxi's request.
But Mr. Yun Zong had instructed that Jin Xi should write five hundred characters every day, and there must be no less.And if you didn't write well the first day, you have to rewrite it again.If there is one word missing, she will wait by the side, when Jinxi has written enough, when will she go back.She didn't want to stay here all night, and she didn't want to go back and listen to Mr. Yun Zong playing the piano frantically all night.
"Girl, please do me a favor, you have to write down what happened yesterday!" Comparing the two, Magpie felt that Mr. Yun Zong's piano sound was even more frightening.She begged for a long time with a crying voice, seeing that Jinxi was unmoved, she knelt down in front of Jinxi's bed with a plop, "Girl, please don't make things difficult for your slave, this slave kowtows to you! Please spare this slave!"
Jin Xi couldn't bear the magpie's soft grinding the most, so he gritted his teeth and got up from the bed and ordered Qing Xing to grind the ink.The [-] owed yesterday plus [-] tomorrow, if Mr. Yun Zong finds something wrong with today's homework, add up to [-] or [-] characters, tomorrow she will not be able to finish writing even if she breaks her hands.It's better to be debt-free, and forget it after writing.
After resting for a blink of an eye before picking up a pen to write, Jin Xi felt that there was no pain in her body.The thin brush felt as if it weighed a thousand catties in my hand, and my wrists kept trembling.It can't be done horizontally or vertically, let alone any strokes.I barely wrote two lines, but one was not careful, and a drop of ink fell on the paper, instantly blurring.The ten words I just wrote were for nothing, and Jin Xi felt like crying.
She crumpled the piece of paper angrily and gritted her teeth secretly. Mr. Yun Zong himself was slovenly, but he demanded that the paper she finished writing be clean and tidy.Don't say that the ink dots can't even have a crease, it's because she doesn't like her death!
After waiting for two hours, the homework was finally collected, and the magpie left happily.Jin Xi's arms were so swollen that she couldn't lift them up, and couldn't even hold chopsticks.Mother Ai shed tears while feeding her, "Why is Mr. Yun Zong so unreasonable? The girl is still young, and her handwriting is not good. Just practice slowly. How can she not make people breathless all day long? Like this How can the girl's body bear it!"
Ai's mother wiped her tears and babbled for a long while before hearing Jinxi's utterance. When she looked up, she saw that Jinxi's little head was moving, and she dozed off with food in her mouth.Mama Ai's heart hurt like a needle, and she gently woke Jinxi up.Jin Xi spat out the mouthful of rice, rinsed her mouth carelessly, and crawled into bed without washing her face.There are hundreds of big characters waiting for her tomorrow!
"Miss Six didn't do anything except write five hundred characters every day? Didn't the magpie say anything?" Haitang recounted Jinxi's daily routine in detail, and the eldest lady frowned slowly.Didn't Mr. Yun Zong come for that fool's baby?
Haitang thought about it carefully again, and added: "A few days ago, the girl had to write for four or five hours a day. These days, she writes faster. She can finish writing in more than three hours. She goes to bed after writing, and is too lazy to talk. According to Madam's instructions, the servant often coaxes the magpies with food and things, according to the servants, the magpies can't hide their words, and Mr. Yun Zong really only asked the girl to write in recent days, without any other instructions."
"Find a chance and give me a piece of writing written by Miss Six, and be careful not to let her know." The eldest lady was silent for a long time, and Hai Chang was worried that she would have some orders, but he didn't expect to just wait for her to come. Such a sentence.Although Jin Xi only asked Qing Xing to serve her while writing, it was not difficult to handle, and Haitang immediately nodded in response.
Just as Haitang entered Xuefeng Pavilion, Caiyue also came back.The two looked at each other, knowing what the other was doing.Seeing that Caiyue was still pinching a few flowers to cover her hands, Haitang snorted disdainfully, "If you don't do all the work in the house, you'll be free to wander."
Caiyue gritted her teeth angrily but didn't make a sound, her monthly payment was paid by the second wife, but her elder sister was married to work under the eldest lady's errand, and she was beaten up by the second wife just now.Thinking of the Second Madam warning her not to eat inside and out, and to keep something secret, she felt wronged.Miss Six really didn't do anything these days except write, so could it be that she made up something out of thin air?
Jinxi pretended not to notice Haitang and Caiyue's small movements, she was not afraid of being turned upside down, she didn't do anything shameful, and of course she was not afraid of these two people making small reports.She was calm, and the second wife was also relieved.It has been more than half a month, and Jinxiu is still staying at Wu's house and hasn't come back, and she hasn't even seen Mr. Yun Zong.She was afraid that Mr. Yun Zong would make a small fuss for that silly girl alone and leave Jinxiu behind. It turned out that she just wanted the silly girl to write clearly before the official apprenticeship, so as not to embarrass herself in front of everyone.
At lunch time, Mammy Xie came in with a food box, saying that the second lady felt sorry for Jin Xi's hard work in calligraphy, and specially ordered the kitchen to add two dishes to Jin Xi every day.The money is naturally provided by the second wife alone, so there is no need to spend money from the public.
Shrimp spinach and salt-baked quail meat made Jinxi salivate. Knowing that the second lady wanted to pretend to be virtuous in front of Mr. Yun Zong and leave a good impression to pave the way for Jinxiu, Jinxi pretended to decline a few times, and thanked her in front of Madam Xie. Mammy thanked the second lady tearfully.I must thank you for getting food and drink for her out of my own pocket.She doesn't know if Mr. Yun Zong will eat this set, but she will anyway!
Mrs. Zhou also said that Jinxi worked hard every day, so she deliberately spared her morning and evening greetings.The implication is to let her make progress, and not to hold back the three serious scholars, Xixing, Xide and Xiyao, which is a great filial piety!
Even if the food and drinks are served by others, the few catties of meat that Jin Xi managed to raise before he became a teacher are still lost by the daily tossing.
The so-called practice makes perfect, Jin Xi felt that she had made great progress in chicken feet calligraphy, and after a few days of complacency, Mr. Yun Zong had a new request.The original [-] big characters classified according to the stroke structure have become articles and poems, and writing is not counted, and these contents have to be memorized.
Counting the workload with her fingers, Jin Xi really wanted to slap Mr. Yun Zong on the forehead with a brick.Looking at those carefully selected poems and articles, as well as the unusually neat handwriting, Jin Xi's nose was sore and he was a little touched.At Mr. Yun Zong's status and age, he spends several hours every day preparing these things for her. After she finishes writing, she has to correct and give pointers. The workload is no less than hers. What else can she complain about!
Fortunately, the poems and articles selected by Mr. Yun Zong are all famous poems from past dynasties. Most of them are familiar to Jin Xi, some are even very familiar, and it is very easy to recite them.
Mr. Yun Zong was a little surprised to find that Jinxi could memorize what he had written after writing it once, "Girl, tell me the truth, have you learned these things before?"
Jin Xi shook her head again and again, her memory has always been very good, plus she has indeed learned these things in her previous life, so it is easy to memorize them, but she must not admit that otherwise she cannot explain clearly.Noticing that Mr. Yun Zong looked at her with serious eyes, Jin Xi was shocked, and she was afraid of being punished if she failed to complete the homework, but forgot the consequences.In case Mr. Yun Zong misunderstood that she could remember everything by heart, wouldn't her homework need to be increased?
Mr. Yun Zong didn't struggle with his homework as Jin Xi imagined, but he sighed, "God's will!"
Mr. Yun Zong is usually crazy and doesn't play cards according to the rules, but the sudden heaviness made Jin Xi uncomfortable.I didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so I silently took homework for the day and turned to go out.
All the way back to Xuefeng Pavilion, Jin Xi was wondering what Mr. Yun Zong meant by "God's will", and secretly warned himself to be more careful in the future, the secret of two lives is related to life and death, and must not be leaked!
After dinner, Jin Xi took out what he had memorized in the past few days, and was about to review it again. Qing Xing lifted the curtain and sneaked in. Seeing that there was no one else in the room, she turned around and closed the door, and moved closer to Jin Xi He whispered: "A strange thing happened today, the girl must be careful!"
