Fanwai Gambling III. Stay in the Academy
Early in the morning, Hua Qiangu was pulled up by Shengxiao Mo and dressed up, with white powder on his face and red rouge on it. Put on new clothes, put a bead hairpin in her hair, a gold necklace around her neck and an emerald bracelet on her wrist. Hua Qiangu felt like a landlord, but as a landlord, she couldn't even eat a steamed bun for breakfast at ordinary times. For fear that she would play truant halfway, Shengxiao Mo specially hired a sedan chair, and several strong men kept sending her to the entrance of the academy.
Hua Qiangu wanted to cry, but he got out of the sedan chair and was dying.
When people around her saw her, they couldn't help laughing in private. They wondered which rich lady she was. She was so fat that she couldn't walk fast.
Hua Qiangu looked up, and there were four brand-new Chinese characters painted in gold on a black background-Changliu Academy.
well, read it. at least she went to school for a few days before, and her father taught her a few words. although she didn't learn well, she didn't hate it.
There are students around from six to thirty, but most of them are about her age. I heard that this academy used to be called Bodhi Academy, which was presided over by an old scholar named Qin. Later, fewer and fewer students were going out of business. Not long ago, it received a huge capital injection, hired many powerful teachers and famous people to teach, and many dignitaries cut the ribbon. The publicity was huge. This school year, many wealthy businessmen in Hangzhou sent their children here, and Hua Qiangu was one of them.
She doesn't know why Dad attaches so much importance to studying in the academy. She probably dislikes her and wants her to meet a good family and get married in the academy as soon as possible. Most people who send their children here to study hold this idea.
There are more than one hundred new students, all of whom gathered in the square to call the roll, and will be divided into four classes of Mei Lan Zhu Ju by drawing lots later.
Although the Academy has changed its name, the dean is still Qin Xiucai. He is a little old, and compared with a bunch of teachers sitting next to him who invited or invited themselves, he looks very imposing.
He first gave a speech to welcome the new students, looked forward to the bright future of Xiashu Academy, and then began to introduce the teachers. In addition to the four books and five classics, all the courses taught by other teachers can be selected.
"This is Yan Wendao and Yan Old Master Q from Beijing. I'll tell you about Yi-ology later. This is Dongfang Yuqing, giving you ... "
" Calligraphy. " Dongfang Yuqing answer the words, gentle smile, the audience a suction sound.
Hua Qiangu was dizzy with hunger, and even had no strength to look up. The morning sun was not vicious, but it also made her sweat frequently on her forehead.
Then all the teachers briefly introduced themselves.
"My name is Fire, and I am responsible for teaching you cooking." There was a sound of surprise below.
"My name is Lei Yin, and I will teach you medicine and acupuncture in the future. Here is a surprise.
"Qingliu, I teach brewing and drinking."
This time, even Dean Qin couldn't help frowning and whispered, "Is it necessary to teach you to drink?"
"It's natural. The wine table is an important place to communicate with people."
"That's true ..." Dean Qin caressed his beard.
"My name is Luoyi. Welcome to join my small animal breeding association."
"I'm from the east of Luohe River. I specialize in exorcising demons and catching ghosts!" His voice is like thunder, and the students below are all stupid. This academy is really different. How can it teach everything? "
" Mo Bing, teach painting. " Let's breathe a sigh of relief and finally have a normal one.
At this moment, a red-haired woman who seems to be an outsider said, "You can call me Beihai directly. I haven't thought of anything to teach you for the time being, so I'll start swimming lessons." Everyone was dumbfounded that there was a female teacher, and there was more than one. No sooner had she finished than another woman spoke.
"My name is Sha Qianmo, and you can ask me about embroidery, tailoring, makeup maintenance and clothing matching, as long as it is related to beauty."
Beihai is gorgeous, but compared with this woman, it's far from it. Everyone below is boiling, even the boys are determined to take his class.
Sha Qianmo has looked around the crowd for several times, but he can't find his beloved little one.
He wants to take part in gambling, but he refuses to show his ordinary face. In his view, ordinary is ugly, and it is ugly without features! After haggling with Dongfang Yuqing for a long time, I finally reached an agreement that I can appear in a better appearance than ordinary people, but I must be a woman for the first three months.
Sha Qianmo's mind has always been simple, thinking that the little one thought he was his sister anyway, and he didn't hold out much hope in gambling, just to play and to sabotage Dongfang Yuqing. Do you want to, even if lost to Bai Zihua, he is convinced, if lost to a poor scholar, also call him how to mix. Therefore, even if he appears in women's clothing, he will be the most beautiful of all in Sha Qianmo!
Next, more people introduce themselves. They really teach everything. Martial arts, boxing, hidden weapons, growing vegetables, carving ... Not to mention the following students, even Dean Qin kept sweating. What kind of people did he invite?
Hua Qiangu was hungry and tired. When she went out, Shengxiao Mo tried her best to put her into a so-called "slimming suit". The belt made her almost die. She only felt dizzy, and the girl next to her kindly held her.
"are you all right?"
Hua Qiangu waved his hand, unable to speak, and his face turned pork liver. Then he heard a cold voice from above.
"My name is Bai Zihua, and I will teach you what patience is."
It's like a clean stream pouring into my heart, which brings a little coolness, but after listening to the above introduction, she already knows that she will have no good life in the future. I thought that coming to the academy was to learn calligraphy and painting and look at the four books and five classics, but I didn't expect such a toss.
There were more than 3 teachers on it. After almost everyone knew each other, they began to call the roll and draw lots to divide classes.
At this moment, all the people on the stage pricked up their ears, because none of them has found out where Hua Qiangu is. Oh, of course, except Dongfang Yuqing, who has been rocking the fan.
"Nanxiang."
"Now" the student whose name was called drew a lot and handed it to Luoyi.
"meiban." Hearing his class number, he walked to the class team.
"It's the evening of fire, bamboo class."
"Fire, bamboo class."
"Like frost, Lamban."
......
As planned, you ruo, Huo Xi, Wu Qingluo, sweet baby, and other disciples who stayed or sent others mostly went to Zhuban with Hua Qiangu. Unlike being teachers, most of them have lost their memories.
Finally, I heard the familiar name: "Hua Qiangu."
Everyone on the stage can't help but hold their breath. The game, which has been waiting for fifteen years, is finally about to start.
I called twice, but there was no response from the audience. I continued to call at eleven.
Hua Qiangu was tottering and half-awake, only then did he realize that it was his turn to draw lots. She struggled to move her thick legs, came out of the queue, walked to the front of eleven, and eleven looked at her with his mouth half open, all silly.
"little one!" Sha Qianmo's round fan also fell to the ground and stood up from his seat. I narrowed my eyes and looked left and right. Although I was a little deformed, who was that little face but Hua Qiangu?
He barely fainted after stumbling. Mo Bingxian hurriedly held him, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
There was a strange silence in the audience, and Hua Qiangu took a look at it imperceptibly.
breathe a sigh of relief. It's almost over. She's really hungry. Staggered towards the team, completely unaware that all eyes on the stage were looking at her in pain.
The sun seems to hide in the clouds, and a cool breeze blows, making Hua Qiangu's nose itch and his mouth grow bigger.
"A-choo!"
at the same time, there was a sound of breaking and tearing. She froze, her back seemed to be cool and long, and there was a big hole in it. The slimming dress was gloriously sacrificed, and her flesh rushed out.
Suddenly, I felt relaxed all over. Hua Qiangu took a deep breath, but she fell down and fainted.
The audience was silent for three seconds before they reacted. Eleven and Mo Bingxian rushed over at the first time.
But Sha Qianmo rolled up his sleeves and cursed: "Damn Shengxiao Mo, I'll fight with you!"
When Hua Qiangu woke up, she found it was dark and she was lying in her home.
"dad! I am hungry! " She opened her mouth and shouted at the first sentence.
"wait."
Soon, Shengxiao Mo brought in a bowl of porridge from the outside. Hua Qiangu was very surprised to find a few grains of rice and two leaves in it, and he drank them all.
"dad! I am still hungry! "
"Hungry, hungry, hungry every day! I told you to study hard, and on the first day of school, you gave me such a big embarrassment in front of the whole college! " Shengxiao Mo couldn't help poking her forehead.
Hua Qiangu was sad, holding his sleeve and wiping his mouth. He looked up and found something was wrong.
"Dad, what happened to your face?" What a big panda eye!
Shengxiao Mo held his chest angrily and said, "Crash!"
I'm not ashamed to ask, but she didn't do it. Sha Qianmo carried her back and punched her when she entered the door.
Oh, yes, I can't even hold it. It's not the weight, but the volume can't hold it. I can only carry it back like a sandbag. Sha Qianmo's face is green with anger.
but can you blame him? it's also a sin to eat, and it's also a sin not to eat.
I didn't expect him to be an upright Confucian, and even if the nanny was forgotten, he would still fall into a field where someone beat him up and there was no reason to fight back. Alas alas alas ...
Hua Qiangu went to the academy the next day, saying that he would only go out after eating a steamed bun.
In the classroom, I watched the girls sitting next to me eating baked wheat cakes and swallowed their saliva.
"do you want it?" It was the girl who helped her yesterday who was handsome and lovely.
Hua Qiangu unceremoniously took the baked wheat cake and ate it.
"My name is Youruo. You fainted yesterday. Are you all right now?"
"nothing." Hua Qiangu shook his head. "I'm just not full. My dad wants me to lose weight."
The petite girl sitting in front in green also turned her head: "I have some peach blossom crisp left. Do you want to eat it?"
Hua Qiangu thanked her again and again, and almost didn't burst into tears. It turned out that the academy was quite good, and she was worried that she would be bullied when she came.
"My name is sweet baby. What's your name?"
"Hua Qiangu."
"don't you want to lose weight?"
"Yes, but I want to eat more."
"after that, I'll leave some delicious food for you."
"I'll bring it for you, too." If you say smilingly, you reach out and poke Hua Qiangu's face and get addicted to playing, poking a hole.
Hua Qiangu nodded gratefully.
Within a few days, Hua Qiangu became familiar with the people around her. It turned out that making friends was not as difficult as she thought, and some of them were because she was fat and laughed at her. However, when she found that no matter what Hua Qiangu did, she felt bored. Everyone's energy is basically on the teachers.
Classes are basically optional. Hua Qiangu chose fiery cooking class and Mo Bingxian's painting class herself, and then she was reported to Dongfang Yuqing by sweet baby, and then to Bai Zihua by Youruo. Finally, Sha Qianmo came to her door and forced her to choose her own class, which made her puzzled.
In other words, many immortals who came to take part in the gambling game in high spirits and wanted to take the opportunity to get in between Bai Zihua and her to show how attractive they are, and who can surpass the immortals, gave up half of them in one day after witnessing Hua Qiangu's respect. Stop pursuing and just sit on the sidelines.
Among the remaining people, Bai Zihua, Dongfang Yuqing, Sha Qianmo and Mo Bingxian are the most likely to win. However, except for Sha Qianmo, who walks around Hua Qiangu every day, taking her to a temple fair, flying kites and eating out, nothing happens.
Sha Qianmo missed the lead because it was agreed that it would take at least three months to tell Hua Qiangu that he was a man, so she was desperately kind to her and wanted to win by being affectionate for a long time.
Hua Qiangu also found himself suddenly surrounded by a lot of people, which was quite uncomfortable. But I don't care much about other things except eating. Occasionally receiving flowers, gifts or love letters from others, she also thinks it is a prank. The food will stay, and all the others will be thrown away.
So everyone got the hang of it. Whoever can get delicious food, Hua Qiangu obediently followed him, and used delicious food to lure him every day. Hua Qiangu felt a little strange. Why do so many teachers and classmates always invite her to dinner?
On this day, Hua Qiangu, sweet baby and Youruo went home together after eating and drinking.
In order to avoid suspicion, ordinary people often invite the three of them together.
However, if you observe, everyone else is trying their best to help Hua Qiangu, and the eleventh is trying their best to help sweet baby.
"Qian Gu, all the teachers in the academy seem to like you very much."
Hua Qiangu nodded. "Maybe my dad knew them, or went through the back door and asked them to take care of me more." Hua Qiangu thinks this is the only reasonable explanation.
"By the way, where's your dad? Why didn't you see him today?" If you wriggle, every time she comes, she sees Shengxiao Mo's lazy appearance, and her heart is pounding.
"Oh, maybe he went out to fight cricket, and will be back soon."
"Qian Gu, where is your mother?"
Hua Qiangu scratched his head: "I don't know. When I asked my dad, he didn't bother to tell me in detail, so he said he had run away with someone."
You Ruo suddenly looked at her with pity: "It must be very difficult for your father to raise you alone. I think he is still very young. Why not find another one?"
"He's been fooling around all day. If he finds another one, he'll probably have to run away with someone again!" Hua Qiangu's full mouth still can't stop eating melon seeds.
If you shout in your heart, you won't. If it is her, you won't run.
sweet baby asked, "Qian Gu, do you have someone in mind? My family sent me to the academy because I wanted to find a good family. " Sweet baby's family, of course, is also a walk-on fairy. Except for Hua Qiangu and Shengxiao Mo, everyone else has been below the boundary for less than a year.
"Mr. Right?"
"yes, wouldn't it be nice to have that evening fire and dancing green radish in our class?" I heard that my family is also very satisfied. It is estimated that I will get married after reading the book. "
Hua Qiangu cocked his head and thought about it. She was impressed by only three people. One was Dongfang Yuqing, who always smiled at her with squinting eyes. When she held her hand and taught her to write, her heart beat so fast. One is ink ice, which is superb in painting skills, and people look like a pair of ink paintings no matter where they go. Hua Qiangu can often feel his line of sight, far away and slightly sad, which makes her feel the illusion of melting. Another is the filariasis in the class. Everyone else brought her food, but only he remembered to bring her drinks. Every time she eats too much and gets choked up, he is a lifesaver. Moreover, he is excellent, and his grades are very good. No matter what he studies, he does the best, which makes his stupid self admire him.
"Speaking of Mr Right, I'm always worried." Hua Qiangu frowned.
"what are you worried about?"
"worry.
