My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare! Chapter 454 - 314 Teaching at the Academy
Wansong Academy.
As one of the Four Great Academies of Zhao Country, Wansong Academy has sent countless talents to Zhao Country. Many officials in the court had studied at Wansong Academy before entering the service, making Wansong Academy one of the sacred places in the hearts of many Zhao Country scholars.
Since the founding of Zhao Country, Wansong Academy has been established.
Within the academy, ancient trees towered, with green grass as a lush carpet, and from the shaded green fields ca bursts of reading sounds from ti to ti.
There were only three months left until the next Imperial Examination, and the students were seizing every mont of this last period.
In a certain classroom.
The twenty best students of the academy gathered here.
With the examination imminent, the academy no longer forced the examinees to attend classes, but let them fill in the gaps in their knowledge themselves.
If there was anything they didn't understand, the academy's teachers and the Six Arts masters hired with high pay by the Fourth Prince from outside would be available to answer their questions at any ti.
The crowd gathered in the classroom, discussing spiritedly.
"Why did the academy ask us to co here? I had planned to practice archery at the range today."
"I heard they invited a great teacher to guide us in calligraphy."
"Our calligraphy masters in Zhao Country are mostly in the other three academies; did our academy manage to poach one of them?"
"We'll know soon enough..."
At this mont, the teacher who was going to lecture them had not yet arrived. The students sat in their places; so were chatting with their friends, and others, not willing to waste even this bit of ti, were silently practicing calligraphy.
Several young won in the classroom drew particular notice.
In Zhao Country, won could also enter academies and take the Imperial Examination like n. All the major academies had a certain number of female students.
Beside a desk near the back door of the classroom, a young female student had just finished writing a piece when a voice suddenly praised, "Miss, your Hairpin Flower Small Regular Script is excellent."
She turned her head and saw a handso young man standing beside her.
He looked to be under twenty years old and should be a junior in the academy.
The woman felt a bit puzzled. How co she had never seen such a handso junior in the academy before?
She smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for the complint."
The young man said, "I also like Hairpin Flower Small Regular Script. Could you give so pointers, miss?"
The woman was taken aback. Did he like Hairpin Flower Small Regular Script?
The Hairpin Flower Small Regular Script was also known as 'daughter script' and was rarely written by n.
But she had a good impression of this junior, so she smiled and said, "Sure."
The young man lifted a brush and wrote a piece using Hairpin Flower Small Regular Script, which was identical to the one she had just written.
After she finished reading it, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything.
She looked at this handso junior, her eyes lingering on his chest for a long ti, very doubtful of his gender.
How could a man write such beautiful Hairpin Flower Small Regular Script?
Not to ntion her, even the female calligraphy masters she knew couldn't write like this.
Looking ashad, she said, "Your writing is much better than mine. I don't have anything to teach you... Could I have this piece of writing to use it for practice?"
The young man smiled slightly and said, "Of course, but just copying it won't improve you much in a short ti. I have so comnts on your piece..."
He picked up the brush again, circling a few places on her work, and said, "If you just make a few small adjustnts to the structure of these characters, they will look very different..."
The art of calligraphy requires persistent practice.
For those great calligraphers, their skills were almost at the highest level already, and even a minor improvent was very difficult.
But her calligraphy still had much room for improvent, and minor adjustnts could yield significant effects quickly.
Li Nuo's calligraphy was a synthesis of the school's best techniques and more, easily guiding those calligraphers, let alone beginners.
Following his guidance, the woman wrote another piece and imdiately noticed the difference in the sa characters.
Dumbfounded, she stared at the two pieces, hardly believing her eyes.
The female students around her were also extrely surprised.
They had been watching the conversation between the two.
The appearance of such a young and handso junior made it hard not to notice him. At first, they were just drawn in by his looks, but they didn't expect him to be so talented.
With just a few simple pointers from him, Cheng Xue'er's writing had improved noticeably. He was more skilled than all the teachers they'd t.
Soon, they also gathered around.
"You're amazing, Young Master!"
"Can you look at my writing too?"
"Please, I want to be guided too..."
This commotion also attracted the attention of others.
A young man was surrounded by the female students in the classroom.
Even if he was handso, there was no need for those talented girls to act like this, right?
They wanted to see what he was up to.
So, they gathered around as well.
What started as curiosity soon turned into lining up for guidance.
This junior, who was younger than them all, had a high level of skill in calligraphy, not only familiar with all writing styles but also having deep insights even into the Hairpin Flower Small Regular Script.
No matter what style the students specialized in, he could accurately point out their shortcomings and provide improvent suggestions.
Unknowingly, an hour had passed.
In this short hour, they benefited greatly.
After his guidance, almost everyone felt a clear improvent in their calligraphy.
Given three more months, they were confident they could elevate their calligraphy skills another level.
Just as they ca back to their senses, intending to thank him sincerely, they realized he had already left without them knowing when.
And even now, the teacher supposed to teach them calligraphy had not yet appeared.
"What kind of person is this? Even if he is a calligraphy master, he should be punctual, right?"
"He's already an hour late!"
"I want to see which master dares to be so high and mighty."
Just then, a figure walked in from outside.
Everyone looked, and it was the Academy Dean.
A refined middle-aged man looked at them and asked with a smile, "So, are you satisfied with your new teacher's class?"
Everyone was stunned.
"New teacher?"
"What new teacher?"
"Where's the new teacher?"
The middle-aged man looked at their confused faces and said in amazent, "The person who just guided you in calligraphy was your new teacher. Don't underestimate him just because he's young. He was the Six Subjects' Scholar of Daxia, achieving the best scores in six subjects in last year's Imperial Examination, specially invited by the Sixth Princess from Daxia to guide you..."
As his words fell, everyone was even more shocked.
"What?"
"Six Subjects' Scholar?"
"And top scores in six subjects, is that even possible?"
"I've heard about it. Last year in Daxia, a Six Subjects' Scholar erged, and the Emperor of Daxia even married a princess to him..."
"I know him too; his na is Li Nuo. I even have a book of his poetry at ho..."
...
The fact that he was the Six Subjects' Scholar was stunning enough, but what was more astonishing was that he was younger than them. Having learned the Six Arts since childhood, they couldn't have imagined soone truly achieving this...
But after the class just now, they had to believe it.
At this mont, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "He was invited by the Sixth Princess at great effort. For the three months leading up to the Imperial Examination, Mr. Li will be teaching you the Six Arts. Gather in the art room in half an hour..."
Wansong Academy.
Upon seeing the young man again, all the students could not hide the respect on their faces.
The Six Subjects' Scholar was sothing they dared not even dream of.
And yet such a person stood alive right in front of them.
Li Nuo, being similar in age to them, had already blended in with them in the calligraphy class. When they saw him again in the art room, they didn't feel like they were facing a teacher and spoke eagerly.
"Sir, how did you practice the Six Arts?"
"Sir, sir, Daxia's Three Beauties are all your wives, aren't they?"
"Sir, what is your relationship with the Sixth Princess? Did you co to Zhao Country for her?"
