Zhao Rong had a headache. He had a good memory and almost had a photographic memory. He could memorize many scores of Guqin music.
As for the fingering technique, after Zhao Rong controlled his strength, he fretted the strings carelessly and was generally proficient.
Therefore, when playing the guqin, it is not difficult to memorize the music and follow the diagrams.
The difficulty was that he found that he was "tone deaf", and Yu Huaijin also noticed this.
Zhao Rong couldn't distinguish between the strong and weak sounds of the guqin's five-note and twelve-note tune.
This resulted in him being unable to control the overall rhythm of the music when playing.
It's like singing a song, knowing the lyrics, but Zhao Rong is tone-deaf.
Mr. Si's art class ended with the sound of someone's piano torturing the ears of the Suh Xing Hall students.
All the students dispersed one after another.
In the corridor of the school, under a lantern, Yu Huaijin stood quietly with hands up, watching the backs of Zhao Rong and Fan Yushu leaving together.
"Huaijin, let's go."
Xiao Hongyu shouted, with Li Xueyou beside her, and the two of them were waiting for Yu Huaijin.
The three of them are the only three female students in Sui Xing Hall. They live in the same school building and have a good relationship on weekdays. They often go to Mochi Academy together. However, Yu Huaijin is the senior student of Sui Xing Hall and some other reasons.
, and often travel alone.
Yu Huaijin responded, withdrew his gaze, and turned around with a calm expression to join Yu, Xiao, and Hongyu.
As the night falls, a bright moon is slowly rising.
Yu Huaijin and the other two were walking on the way back to the girls' school.
Although in Linlu Academy, male and female students are treated as brothers and classmates and are not treated differently, but male and female students still have separate schools, but the management is not so strict, and they can also visit each other.
"Hey, get out of class is finally over, I...cough, my ears were almost broken by that Zhao Ziyu." Xiao Hongyu was about to blurt out some words when he saw Yu Huaijin's stern face and turned his head from the corner of his eye. She quickly stopped and changed her words.
Xiao Hongyu coughed and curled his lips at his two companions: "Huaijin, Xueyou, do you think this Zhao Ziyu did it on purpose? According to the notation, the bullets could be played like that for him?"
Li Xueyou thought for a while and shook her head.
Yu Huaijin said softly: "No."
Xiao Hongyu sighed, "That's it. I don't know how his other arts are. Hey, forget it, why is our Suixingtang so unlucky? It's not enough to have Fan Yushu who is poor in all arts.
Here comes another one."
"Red fish, a gentleman doesn't tell people behind their backs." Yu Huaijin turned around and said seriously.
Li Xueyou also nodded in agreement.
Xiao Hongyu wanted to say that I was not a gentleman, but he still said: "You two joined forces to accuse me again, okay, it's my fault."
Yu Huaijin turned back, hiding her hands in her sleeves, looking at the night scene in front of her calmly, not knowing what she was thinking.
Li Xueying squinted her eyes like a little animal, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and the girl who was a little timid in front of strangers showed some tune on her lips, and she didn't know what she was humming.
On the road, the combination of these three people attracted quite a lot of attention, not because of their looks.
Yu Huaijin is average-looking, while Xiao Hongyu has a pair of red lips and a big mouth, and an eye-catching smile. However, because of his tall figure and chubby face, he cannot meet the aesthetic standards of most men, especially those who like slim ladies and delicate beauties.
Among the Confucian scholars, the only one with a more eye-catching appearance is Li Xueyou, who looks like the jade girl next door, and can arouse the desire for protection in some men.
The three of them stand out because their bodies really don't match each other.
Yu Huaijin has a small body, short and thin.
Li Xue is as young as a small lotus, standing tall and graceful, and her figure is like an unstriped catkin, slender and slender.
Xiao Hongyu, standing in the middle, was like a hill, tall and strong. The two companions beside her, even if doubled, could not compare to her.
The combination of the three is quite strange.
At this time, they were gradually approaching the Jianjia Academy where they lived.
Xiao Hongyu raised her eyes and looked at the brightly lit courtyard xuan in the distance. She suddenly glanced at Yu Huaijin.
The companion next to him who likes to hide his beautiful hands in his wide sleeves always has a straight face. Apart from a slight frown and blinking his eyes, Xiao Hongyu has almost never seen other expressions.
And when talking to Yu Huaijin, she would also look into the other person's eyes very seriously.
But if you observe carefully, you will find that her serious eyes are actually calm and unruffled, and she will not make waves due to anything.
Just like the vast sea will spare no effort to fill any ditch, but it will not stop for a moment in this ditch.
In fact, Xiao Hongyu was a little afraid of Yu Huaijin, not because of her strictness and serious character like the most rigid and stubborn old master, but because of an inexplicable synaesthesia.
The two have known each other for more than two months since they entered the academy, but Xiao Hongyu felt that standing next to Yu Huaijin, the two were obviously very close, but there seemed to be something between them. She didn't know what it was.
.
But Xiao Hongyu vaguely felt that this barrier seemed to never be able to be overcome. Not just her, but Xiao Hongyu felt that everyone in Linlu Academy where he was was unable to...
"Huaijin, let's go to Duyoudongcheng to have fun together in a few days' holiday. The mountain market in my hometown is not as lively as Duyoucheng. I haven't been there yet."
Xiao Hongyu suddenly turned around and smiled at Yu Huaijin, and she continued to speak:
"Xue You and I have already made an agreement. She happens to be going back home to see her father. We can also go to her house and sit there, and with her, a half-local, to lead the way, we can buy or play whatever we want.
As for wandering around, I heard that there is the largest thatched cottage shop in Wangquezhou in Dongcheng, and my father happened to give me another half-year’s monthly allowance, hehe."
"Yeah." Li Xue nodded twice like a young deer, looked at Yu Huaijin with bright eyes, and said in a thin voice: "Huaijin, let's go together."
Yu Huaijin shook his head without hesitation, "You go ahead, I have something else to do during the holiday."
Xiao Hongyu and Li Xueyou looked at each other.
Unlike Li Xueyou, whose eyes were slightly disappointed, Xiao Hongyu was not annoyed. After all, it was expected. She turned to look at Yu Huaijin with narrow eyes, blinked and said:
"Did Han Wenfu from the monastery come to you for 'advice' again?"
Yu Huaijin shook his head.
Xiao Hongyu thought for a while and nodded in a daze, "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about this boy Fan Yushu. Before he slipped out with Mr. Yan, you were giving him extra lessons."
She muttered a few words, glanced at Yu Huaijin, who did not deny him, and opened her mouth. She wanted to persuade him, but when she saw Yu Huaijin's unchanging face, she still did not speak.
Mochi Academy, straightforwardness, monasticism, justice, sincerity, and lofty ideals. Most students of the Sixth Academy of Guangye have always regarded the most important thing in their hearts, which is the apprenticeship ceremony in a year's time.
One year later, whether the new students will stay or leave in Linlu Academy depends on whether they can be admitted by the gentlemen of the academy, become academicians, and continue to study in the academy.
There are many conditions and references for the academy teachers to select students. In addition to the final examination of the grand ceremony, the inspection of students in the past is also very important.
If a student's school is among the best, then the students in this school will easily receive the attention of the gentlemen.
And according to the academy's past practice, with the same assessment results, students from the top-ranked schools will have a higher overall evaluation than students from the lower-ranked schools.
This is also a disguised way for Mochi Academy to encourage unity among students and competition among schools.
In connection with the current environment where a hundred schools of thought are contending in the Confucian school, it also has the profound meaning of improving the mutual unity and awareness of external competition among Confucian scholars.
—————
Zhao Rong and Fan Yushu returned to the school together.
The men's school building next to Jiquan Pavilion is called Nanxuan.
Among them, the two-person courtyards are small and elegant, with a quiet and quiet environment. They are all called small buildings by the students, but the prefixes are different.
Zhao Rong stopped and waved goodbye to Fan Yushu, who lived in a courtyard called Liuyun Xiaozhu about a dozen steps away.
This time the two of them did not live together. After all, Fan Yushu arrived early and had already assigned a roommate.
As for why Jia Tengying has been living alone...
Zhao Rong turned around and prepared to knock on the door.
"By the way, Ziyu, your yard is called... Caiyuan Xiaozhu."
From behind, the sound of Fan Yushu’s jokes floated in the distance.
Boom, boom, boom.
Zhao Rong blinked and knocked on the door.
"Please come in, the door is unlocked." Jia Tengying's voice came through.
Zhao Rong pushed the door open and entered. He was walking in a hurry during the day and did not look carefully. Looking around now, with the lights in Jia Tengying's house, he could roughly see that there were two large houses in the courtyard, facing each other from the north to the south.
At this time, the north room was still dark, but the lights in the south room had been lit, and Jia Tengying's voice came from it.
Zhao Rong glanced around and saw that most of the dark open space in the courtyard that was not illuminated by lights was lined with black things in regular rows.
Zhao Rong came closer, looked down and took a closer look, and found that they were all vegetables grown by farmers down the mountain, and there were quite a lot of varieties.
Zhao Rong looked around and saw that this place was clearly a vegetable garden. No wonder Fan Yushu and the others called this "Vegetable Garden House", and it lived up to its name.
Squeak————
At this time, the door of the south room was pushed open and Jia Tengying walked out. He happened to see Zhao Rong looking down at the vegetable field under the moonlight.
Jia Tengying lowered his head, walked quickly to Zhao Rong, held a small object in both hands and handed it out.
The sound is a bit muffled.
"Brother Zhao, this is the door key. The key to your house is on the table inside."
Zhao Rong looked at Jia Tengying, but Jia Tengying was facing him, with his back to the south room. The lights in the south room were shining, and Zhao Rong could not see Jia Tengying's expression clearly.
He took the key, glanced down, and just as he was about to speak, Jia Tengying immediately turned around, walked quickly to the door, locked the courtyard door, and returned to the house.
It seemed like he kept his head down all the way.
Zhao Rong stood in the vegetable garden, looked around, and then returned to the house.
Zhao Rong lit a candle in front of his desk.
An empty dark room is illuminated by a single light.
He looked around at the spacious room, thinking that he would add some items later to make it smell more like fireworks.
This is where Zhao Rong will often study, sleep, and practice in the next year.
He looked out the window at the vegetable garden and the lighted house opposite.
After Zhao Rong tidied up, he came to the desk, bent down to fill up the oil lamp, and immediately sat down. He breathed out lightly, took out a thick book, looked for the folded leaves, opened it, and lowered his head.
I read it carefully and attentively, no longer lazy and perfunctory like I did in the afternoon music and art class.
This is a Confucian classic called "Erya", one of the Thirteen Confucian Classics.
Zhao Rong was going to chew the Thirteen Confucian Classics carefully ten times before talking about it.
I will not practice today because Zhao Rong is currently attacking the Fuyao Realm. However, the little red snake that gathers between the meridians in the body will weaken a lot after impacting the blocked meridians and causing them to expand slightly.
, he needs to rest for a few days to recover some of his innate energy before continuing to attack.
Zhao Rong currently plans to attack once every three days. The remaining time when he is not practicing is spent on reading...
The lamp on the desk was burning silently.
The night passed quietly, and apart from the occasional crackling sound of the flames, there was only the sound of turning books.
The moon outside the window slowly climbed to the top and then gradually set.
The wick of the oil lamp burned out several times and was replaced by a slender hand turning the pages of a book.
Finally, when the wick burned out for the fifth time, Zhao Rong stopped changing it because the skylight falling from the window onto the desk was already getting brighter.
Outside the house, insects chirped everywhere.
In front of the desk, Zhao Rong folded the corners of his book, closed the Confucian classics, leaned back and stretched hard.
He stood up grinning.
With Zhao Rong currently able to operate Xiao Zhoutian's Zhenyi Stage martial arts cultivation, it wouldn't be much of a hindrance if he didn't sleep for a day or two.
He washed his face, picked up the unfinished "Erya" and went out to read in the morning.
It was still early in the morning, the genius was slightly bright, and the Nanxuan school building was quiet. The only sound of Zhao Rong's creaking door made it seem like there was a lot of movement.
When he passed the vegetable field in the yard, he stopped and looked around, and saw a clump of mixed flowers growing everywhere on the east side of the yard.
Zhao Rong went out and took a walk by a lake while reading...
When Zhao Rong returned.
He pushed open the courtyard door and found that Jia Tengying was squatting on a vegetable plot in the courtyard, lowering his head and playing with something. But at this moment, when he saw him coming back, Jia Tengying lowered his head and fiddled with the vegetable plot in silence.
The road back to the house happened to pass by him.
Zhao Rong walked towards the house.
Seeing this, Jia Tengying quickly moved the vegetables picked on the road, for fear of blocking Zhao Rong's road.
After he clumsily cleaned up the vegetables that Zhao Rong had left on his way back to the house, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, in the peripheral vision, a pair of feet stopped suddenly.
Zhao Rong squatted down next to Jia Tengying and reached out to pick up a green cucumber among the pile of vegetables.
He took a bite, chewed it, and said with a smile: "Brother Teng Ying, what is the name of our small courtyard? Is it really called Caiyuan Xiaozhu?"
