Chapter 265: Chapter 263: Clouds of Doubt, the Knife Scar Reappears
“I already mentioned it to Lord County Magistrate, but he said that it can only be done after the examination next month.”
Di Yelei continued practicing with his brush-pen.
“Huh? I didn’t expect that you guys would also have to take an exam!” Liu Sisi asked in surprise.
She carefully took up a knife and cut out cubes – roughly the size of a fingernail – as she attempted to create a movable printing system. Whether she could succeed was uncertain, but she would have to keep it a secret for now.
“What? Don’t tell me the bookstore also has exams; that would make people laugh out loud!”
Di Yelei put down his brush-pen, picked up his calligraphy, looked and looked, his eyebrows knitted tightly: “I feel that no matter how I write, my handwriting would never look as good as yours!”
Liu Sisi stopped her hand motion and looked at him, not intending to inform him how widespread the examination system was in the future.
“Of course not! Do you think Brother Zhang could pass the exam? And, don’t imitate the way I write. Didn’t I give you a few pieces of calligraphy model the other day? Have you practiced them?”
“You don’t know Zhang Peng’s skills? Don’t worry!”
Di Yelei handed over the calligraphy models to Liu Sisi: “Take a look, I copied it, isn’t the typeface very bad looking?”
Liu Sisi took a careful look, actually Di Yelei’s handwriting couldn’t be described as ugly.
Although he was just learning how to write, his penmanship had already revealed a hint of flair. It couldn’t be seen at all that such an honest and simple man could write in such a free and uninhibited style!
She really underestimated him!
Raising her head and looking deeply into his eyes, Liu Sisi then picked out two calligraphy models.
“From now on, you’ll write in these two typefaces. These two typefaces allow you to write differently at different times. Just maintain your advantage.”
Liu Sisi couldn’t help but look away from the yellow mud in her hand. The more she looked at Di Yelei’s writing, the more amazed she was.
Who said that only the Eldest of Di Family had the talent for studying? It was a pity that the pearl right before their eyes was covered in dust, having spent every day with his bow and arrow, wasting his great talent for learning literature!
“Ye Lei, which do you prefer, writing or hunting?”
“Hunting, of course. It’s free and comfortable. How nice!” He buried his head in writing without even looking up.
“What if you have to choose between studying or being a constable?”
“Of course being a constable. It’s good to know a few characters so I won’t be blind, right? Besides, as the husband of a female tutor, I can’t be illiterate!”
After Di Yelei finished speaking, he raised his head and smiled at her, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
Liu Sisi: “…”
The man before her really deserved a beating!
A few days later, they indeed found news of the man with a knife scar on his eyebrow.
However, it wasn’t Di Yelei who brought the news, but Liu Sisi who accidentally found it.
It was a coincidence. Just entering Gan Mansion, Liu Sisi suddenly remembered that she had promised Gan Miaoruo yesterday to bring some calligraphy models, but she forgot. She then hurried out of Gan Mansion to fetch them.
As she turned around the corner, she saw Zhang Shixin, with a young woman in his arms, coming from the other end of the street. She quickly hid to one side.
The woman was indeed beautiful, and beyond her beauty, she radiated an air of arrogance!
The arrogance between her eyebrows gave her beauty a thrilling touch. It had to be said that Zhang Shixin, although immoral, had a good-looking face.
