The siblings advised each other for a while, and then Zhen Yan left his sister’s room.
As soon as he left, Zhen Yu imdiately connected to Plane 2!
Because she needed to find sothing to do to distract herself.
"Senior Su."
Su Xuan: "If I may ask, how old are you, Miss Zhen? I just had my coming-of-age ceremony last month."
"The coming-of-age ceremony ans 15 years old, I’m older than you; I’ll be 16 soon."
Su Xuan: "Then I shall address you as Sister Zhen! Please don’t call Senior, just call Little Su."
"...As long as you’re happy."
Su Xuan: "Sister Zhen, you are my first friend from an Otherworld! May I ask how long have you been bound to the system?"
"Let think... Three years! Ti really flies!"
Su Xuan: "Three years?! Then I should be the one calling you Senior! I’ve been bound for less than a year."
"No! Just call Sister Zhen!"
"You opened the Trading Platform in just one year?! That’s incredibly fast!"
Su Xuan: "Your praise is too kind! It’s just that there are long days of nothing to do, so I pass the ti with poetry and reading."
"...May I ask which country and era specifically you are from?"
Even though judging by the ti and the way she speaks, one can tell Su Xuan is from the ancient tis! But since it is a fictional Dinsion, Zhen Yu isn’t sure about the exact societal state on the other side.
Su Xuan: "Great Song Country, Chongyu Second Year."
Zhen Yu scratched her head! Thinking that if she judges by the year and na, it’s probably similar to the Song Dynasty...
Now that she had a general understanding of the situation, Zhen Yu wanted to go straight to the point!
"Little Su, do you have any trades you want to make with ?"
Su Xuan: "Although Su Residence is not a family of great wealth and nobility, we are a family with a history of scholarship! Therefore, I am not interested in the ways of making a fortune. The reason why I initiated this conversation today is first to apologize for not being able to connect the other day, and secondly, because I am curious about the world nearly a thousand years in the future. I would really like Sister Zhen to discuss with what country and era you are in, and what era it is?"
——
Over an hour later, Su Xuan finally had nothing else to ask.
Su Xuan: "I never imagined that the future world would be like this!"
An exhausted Zhen Yu (with a dried mouth and tongue): "...Does this count as fulfilling one of your little wishes?"
Su Xuan: "Sister Zhen, you’re truly humorous! Little Su is grateful and thanks you for satisfying my thirst for knowledge."
"You don’t need to thank ! Since you’re not doing business, I won’t insist, but there is a favor I would like to ask of you."
Su Xuan: "Please speak clearly, Sister Zhen! After I hear it, I can make an early decision."
"I am going to learn calligraphy soon, and I want to ask Little Su to give so guidance from ti to ti if that’s okay?"
After talking so much with Su Xuan, an ancient person, tonight, Zhen Yu’s speech has beco quite ornate... The request she’s making now ca after much deliberation about her own needs in relation to the Song Dynasty during the process of answering Su Xuan’s questions!
Zhen Yu found that if it didn’t involve doing business, the only thing she could currently learn from Su Xuan was calligraphy!
After all, the training class only had two sessions per week! How could it beat Su Xuan, the ’online tutor,’ for convenience and speed?! Moreover, The Su Residence was known for its scholarly atmosphere, and Su Xuan had said that she spent her days imrsed in poetry and literature, which surely ant she was a learned woman! Even if calligraphy wasn’t Su Xuan’s strongest suit, soone who wrote with a brush year-round had to be far better than the teachers in the training class, right?! What if she turned out to be a master? Then Zhen Yu would be like having taken on a famous ntor! Perhaps she could beco a calligrapher in the future!
——
Su Xuan quickly replied to the ssage: "Sister Zhen! Please forgive my boldness, but have you never studied calligraphy?"
"Never! Over here, brush writing is no longer in common use. Everyone uses a very hard pen to write."
Su Xuan: "A very hard pen?"
"It’s hard to explain in a few words. I’ll send you so paper and pens to experint with! Do you have any Mall Points? I’ll send you a trading request!"
Su Xuan: "How could I just take Sister’s things for free! I’ll send so paper and brushes to Sister Zhen as well! They will co in handy as you learn calligraphy!"
The two easygoing girls set out to act, and soon, the two transactions were completed, with the Mall Point used for the transaction making its way back into Su Xuan’s system.
Looking at the brush sent by Su Xuan, Zhen Yu suddenly felt the urge to try out what writing with a brush feels like! While flipping it in her hand, she asked Su Xuan, "Little Su, you still haven’t told if you agree to give so pointers!"
Su Xuan: "I am but a humble younger sister who started learning to write with a brush a few years earlier than Sister. Since Sister trusts so much, Su Xuan will do her best to offer a little help!"
"Thanks! I’ll start with the basics and when I can write a character, it’s not too late to look for you!"
Su Xuan: "No, that won’t do! The basics are most important in brush writing! Since you know nothing about it, why not let start teaching you from the very basics? Consider it my joy to instruct!"
"...Thank you! Mr. Su!"
eting by chance yet being willing to offer guidance, Zhen Yu suddenly felt touched by the goodwill of this person she had never t face to face.
Su Xuan: "I should be the one thanking you! You answered so many of my questions before and never showed impatience! You provided detailed explanations and taught many things I never knew before. By that virtue, you must be a good person!"
Caught off guard by the sudden ’good person’ label, Zhen Yu shivered! She had always thought of herself as a bad person! "Well... it’s late! We should both get so sleep earlier! Staying up is bad for the skin! Oh right! If there’s anything you need help with, just ask! I’ll do my best to help you!"
Thinking that the girl on the other side was really cute, Su Xuan said: "Alright then! We’ll set a ti to study calligraphy tomorrow, and Xuan’er will take her leave now."
"Good night! Talk tomorrow!"
——
After closing the system, Zhen Yu took out an iron box from her space, carefully packed the paper and pens given by Su Xuan, and stored them in her space.
Many people, given the chance to interact with ancient people, would seek to obtain their items, imdiately thinking of antiques that are valuable!
But not Zhen Yu!
She kept the items because she felt Su Xuan’s thoughtfulness was worth taking seriously!
Her experience in her previous life told Zhen Yu, relying on mountains, mountains will collapse; relying on trees, trees will fall.
The only things in this world that truly belonged to her were those she worked hard to achieve and fought for with her own hands!
Therefore, Zhen Yu never dread of becoming rich overnight; she feared that if she beca rich too quickly, she would die just as fast!
Isn’t there an old saying? — People die for riches, as birds die for food!
So the more profitable the industry appears, the more dangerous it is, and the less one should try it lightly!
