The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 445 Entrance to the Academy
It's time for Yunxia Academy to start school.

Qin Wan's pseudonym "Wan'an" followed Luqiu Houhou and the Xun brothers to Zoucheng.

Many years have passed, and times have changed.

Zoucheng has not changed much. The ancient cypresses and pine trees still cover this ancient city. It is still simple, dignified and solemn.

Qin Wan felt a little ironic when she thought that Yaoxing's life in Fengdu might be better than here.

The carriage was walking on the road, different from Qin Wan's heavy thoughts, Luqiu Houhou was full of excitement, pulled Qin Wan and said, "Xiao Liu, what do you think I should submit in the essay competition?"

The "Entrance Essay Contest" in the mouth of the mouth is a competition held by Yunxia Academy every autumn when the school starts, covering all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry and prose.The purpose is to test whether the students have neglected their studies during the summer vacation.

And new students can also show their strength in this competition and get a good impression in front of the doctor.

"Miss, you can hand in whatever you are best at." Qin Wan replied perfunctorily.

"Hey, I'm not good at anything at my level, just draw two pictures and submit them." Wan Wan has always been lying flat in the Buddhist department, although she talked about it, but it didn't really take it to her heart, " By the way, Xiao Liu, did you know that the eldest cousin is good at debating, and the second cousin is good at Danqing, and they have been the first in these two events for two consecutive years."

"Xun Che can draw! It's been a long time since I saw you." Qin Wan said in surprise.

"What does it mean to live for a long time?" Wan Hou was puzzled.

"Oh, nothing."

"Xiao Liu, what work are you preparing for the essay competition?" Wan Wan asked Qin Wan curiously, blinking his eyes, "Your Xishu cursive chapter is so well written, you will definitely win the first place in the calligraphy group."

Qin Wan smiled faintly, "I haven't made up my mind yet."

"Then think about it quickly, it is said that this time the top work will be selected and presented to Her Majesty the Empress." Houhou said.

Qin Wan was slightly startled, and lowered his eyelashes.

Qin Wan was glad that Houhou told her about this, and Miaomiao recognized her Xishu grass seal, obviously she couldn't hand in calligraphy exercises.It seems that she has to change her work to participate in the entrance essay competition.

As Qin Wan thought about it, the carriage staggered to the gate of Yunxia Academy.

The decoration of the academy has not changed, but it just coincides with the entrance season, and the students come in one after another, making it extremely lively.

After getting out of the car, Hou Hou excitedly dragged Xun Cheng to visit the temporary street stalls set up by ordinary people in Zoucheng at the gate of the school.In addition to pens, inks, papers and inkstones, there are all kinds of snacks, rouge and gouache, hairpins and pearls on the stalls.

After dismounting from his horse, Xun Che came to Qin Wan's side, and silently reached out to take her package in his hand: "Do you want to go shopping too?"

Qin Wan shook his head.

"Go and have a look, I'll buy it for you." Xun Che said.

"There's nothing I want to buy," Qin Wan raised her eyebrows, "You said that your Danqing won the first place in the essay competition for two consecutive years. I didn't even know you were so good."

Xun Che was suddenly praised by Qin Wan, his ears turned red, and he changed the subject: "Are you ready to hand in any work?"

"In order to be worthy of you, I have to show some housekeeping skills." Qin Wan raised his chin and said confidently.

"Writing Buddhist scriptures silently?" Xun Che asked.

"How do you know that I can recite Buddhist scriptures? I have many strengths." Qin Wan glared at Xun Che.

"We'll wait and see." Xun Che said with a smile.

Entering the Yunxia Academy, everything here is the same as it was ten years ago except that the trees have grown taller.

Several students were discussing the matter of enrolling in front of the classroom, and they couldn't hide their excitement.

Several of Xun Che's peers came over to say hello to him. Qin Wan silently took her package from Xun Che's arm and hid aside. She didn't want to have any unnecessary interaction with anyone, let alone participate in any communication.

In her eyes, at her nearly [-]-year-old age, the generation gap with these young students is too deep, and she cannot communicate with them at all.

Xun Che exchanged a few words with his peers, and then turned around to find that Qin Wan had already gone to the women's college alone.He wanted to stop Qin Wan again, but she had already entered the women's college.

In the women's college of Yunxia Academy, Qin Wan and Wan Wan were assigned to the same room.

Wan Wan thought for a long time with a pen and didn't know what to write, so she begged Qin Wan, "Xiao Liu, I really can't think of anything to write, just think of a poem for me, I'll write it and hand it in."

Qin Wan sighed: "Miss, why do you even ask me to ghostwrite the works for the entrance essay competition?"

"You don't have to write too well, just make up a random song according to my level." Hou Hou's big pleading eyes flashed, the peach blossom eyes were wronged and beautiful, and Qin Wan couldn't refuse.

"Okay, let me think about it. By the way, what is the theme of this year's essay competition?" Qin Wan asked Houhou.

"This year's theme is snow." Hou Hou complained, "It's so hot in the summer, are the masters crazy? They are looking for such a vulgar and unimaginable theme. But it is true that Zoucheng is hotter than Penglai. There are too many, no wonder the eldest cousin and second cousin go to our house every year to escape the summer."

"Snow... Let me think about it," Qin Wan thought for a while, and then said casually, "I only think of one song: Birds fly away in thousands of mountains, and people disappear in ten thousand paths. Lonely boat and hat man, fishing for snow in the cold river alone .”

"Ah, slow down, what's wrong with Qianshan?"

Without even thinking about it, Wan Wan wrote "Jiang Xue" that Qin Wan had memorized.

"Great, we can do business." Hou Hou was very satisfied with his "work", "By the way, have you thought about what work to come up with?"

"Well, think it over." Qin Wan nodded.

"Tell me quickly!" Wan Wan was curious.

"I'm going to participate in the piano music competition, play a piano and sing a song." Qin Wan replied.

Hou Hou was amazed: "You can still play the piano."

Qin Wan: "After studying for a while, it's a bit useless. I need to borrow a piano to practice."

"My lady decides to buy you a new one directly, so you don't need to borrow it." Hou Wan raised her head and said.

Qin Wan heard Houhou's arrogance, and declined, "No, it's just a performance. It's too wasteful to buy a new piano. I'll just borrow one from the master who is in charge of the piano music."

"You really don't want new ones?" Wan Wan asked with her lips pursed.

Qin Wan nodded: "Well, there's no need to waste money."

After finishing speaking, Qin Wan went to the music room to borrow the piano from the master.But what Qin Wan never expected was that the music room stipulated that all musical instruments could not be borrowed, and could only be used for class.Qin Wan was a little disappointed and didn't know what to do.

She looked through her purse, and the pitiful little money in it was not enough for her to buy a piano.

"Let's see if we can rent it for a day." Thinking so, Qin Wan left the academy alone and went to the musical instrument store in Zoucheng.

After haggling with the boss for a long time, finally a boss was willing to rent her an old piano.But when the owner of the piano shop brought the piano out, Qin Wan felt bad all over. The tone of this piano is really not flattering, it is completely different from Yaoxing's piano.

"At that time, I didn't think that I could still live, so I sacrificed my qin to the sky. I really regretted it!" Qin Wan looked at the rough wooden old qin in his arms and felt so regretful that his intestines turned green.

"Forget it, I'd better come up with a simpler entry." Qin Wan returned the old piano to the owner of the piano shop, and walked out of the piano shop dejectedly.

"Go and pick the one you like the most." Xun Che's voice suddenly appeared beside him, startling Qin Wan.

She raised her head abruptly, and Xun Che was looking at her with slightly angry eyes.

"How do you know I'm here?" Qin Wan took a step back and distanced himself from Xun Che.

Xun Che sighed: "Wu Hou said that you want to borrow the piano from the music room to participate in the competition. I know you will definitely not be able to borrow it, so I guess you might come to the piano store."

"Well, the doctor in the music room won't lend it to me." Qin Wan pouted aggrievedly.

"Go in, I'll buy you a new one," Xun Che said.

Qin Wan hurriedly waved her hand: "No, I have given up the idea of ​​playing the piano, and I think it's better to write a piece of "Avatamsaka Sutra" silently and hand it in."

Without even thinking about it, Xun Che pulled Qin Wan's wrist and returned to the piano store: "Look at the election."

Seeing Xun Che's "wealthy and powerful" appearance, Qin Wan smiled sweetly.She looked around among the various violins, and finally chose a second-class violin with a simple appearance.

"It's too ordinary." Xun Che said dissatisfied when he saw the qin she picked.

Qin Wan giggled and said, "A good piece of music is playing but not the piano."

Xun Che looked at Qin Wan tenderly: "Is this the piano?"

"En." Qin Wan nodded.

"Boss, we want this violin." Xun Che paid the money generously, then took the violin case with the violin from the boss, carried it neatly behind his back, and left the violin shop with Qin Wan.
