After Ji Yuan left, Sun Yaya could no longer suppress her strong sense of excitement. She rushed back to the living room and hugged her grandfather and parents, then jumped up and down in the house like a child.
In this situation, Old Sun's family still had wine and food, so they naturally continued the banquet for a long time while they were having fun. Half an hour later, the Sun family finally cleaned up the cups, plates, tables and chairs in the living room.
It was late at night. Sun Dongming and his wife and Sun Yaya had already gone back to their rooms to sleep. The two old brothers were also fast asleep in the guest house. Sun Fu, who couldn't fall asleep, got up alone again, then held a candlestick and went to the end of a small side hall next to the Sun family's living room, where the tablets of his parents and wife were placed.
Sun Fu took three sandalwood sticks nearby, lit them with the help of candlelight, bowed three times while holding the incense, and then inserted them into the small incense burner in front of the tablet.
"Dad, you have good eyesight, son..."
Sun Fu's voice was slightly choked. He took a deep breath, looked at the three plaques and said with a smile.
"Our Yaya has made great progress, more so than before!"
…
The next day, Sun Yaya got up early, washed and dressed, organized her study, put on her bamboo book box, said hello to her family, and went to Ju'an Xiaoge in a happy mood, even earlier than her grandfather Sun Fu who was preparing to set up the stall.
Although we used to go there in the afternoon, Sun Yaya was still studying in the county school, so the situation is naturally different now.
Not long after she went out, she met the woman she had met at the gate of the workshop yesterday. Sun Yaya approached her with brisk steps and greeted her first.
"Good morning, Aunt Li. Are you going to do the laundry?"
"Hey, it's Yaya. You look so happy today. Did you get a good marriage yesterday?"
Aunt Li responded to Sun Yaya with a smile. As long as they were neighbors in Tongshufang, there was basically no one, young or old, who didn't like Sun Yaya. Of course, there were also men who had a crush on her, but they only dared to think about it secretly. Not to mention that they all knew that a woman with both talent and beauty like Sun Yaya was not something that ordinary people could marry, but just spending a little longer with Sun Yaya would make the men of the same age in the neighborhood feel ashamed of themselves.
In the past, when Sun Yaya heard people say this, she would be unhappy in her heart even if she said it politely, but today she was particularly open-minded.
"No way! Take your time washing the clothes. I'm leaving now!"
Although she said that, Sun Yaya actually didn't stop and was already shouting to Aunt Li from a distance.
Walking through the streets and alleys, crossing ditches and walking along the paths, if she was not afraid that the four treasures of the study in the bookcase would be shaken, Sun Yaya really wanted to spin a few circles while walking. She was smiling all the way and greeted the acquaintances she met very actively. She was completely different from her usual depressed state. She was full of energy and spirit, like a flower blooming in the bright morning light, even more dazzling.
Not long after, Sun Yaya, carrying a book box on her back, had passed through the familiar narrow alley and saw the Ju'an Pavilion in the distance. She immediately calmed down, subconsciously tidied her clothes, and walked to the gate of the courtyard with steady steps. Then she rubbed her face, made sure that she didn't show any smugness on her face, and then she knocked on the door.
“Knock, knock, knock…” “Sir~ It’s me, Yaya, here to practice calligraphy!”
Ji Yuan's calm voice came from inside.
"come in."
Sun Yaya couldn't help but smile again. She gently pushed open the gate and saw that the yard was empty. Mr. Ji had just opened the door to the main house.
"Good morning, sir! I brought you some vegetable buns, meat buns, and two fried dough sticks. Eat them while they're hot!"
As she spoke, Sun Yaya had already closed the gate, walked to the stone table in the yard, put down the bookcase, swiftly took out the breakfast she bought for Ji Yuan, and began to organize her own study.
Ji Yuan shook his head and smiled. This girl came too early. Feeling her approaching, she forced Ji Yuan, who was supposed to sleep for a long time, to get up.
However, when he saw her again today, Sun Yaya's whole spirit and energy were different. It was as if she had made a qualitative improvement in just one night. She had a special sense of brightness, which made Ji Yuan smile again.
Sun Yaya fiddled with the four treasures of the study for a while, put away the inkstone and the pen holder, spread out the rice paper and put a paperweight on it, and then took water from the water tank to grind the ink with ease. After finishing everything in a serious manner, she finally couldn't help but look up at Ji Yuan and asked.
"Sir, are you really a god?"
“Hahahahahahaha… I’m just waiting to see how long you can hold it in, hahahaha…”
Ji Yuan laughed out loud for a rare moment. Although girls change a lot when they grow up, this girl's behavior was actually not much different from when she was a child.
"gentlemen… "
"Okay, okay, if you see more of them in the future, you will think that gods are not that great. Start by copying this calligraphy today."
As he spoke, Ji Yuan came out of the main house, walked into the yard, and spread out the "Sword Intent Letter" on the stone table.
Because all the small characters on it have become spirits, the words on "Jian Yi Tie" today are very different from Zuo Li's original handwriting. The small characters themselves are constantly practicing and changing, making the characters closer to "Tao", but they are different from Ji Yuan's own style, and even their styles are different from each other. Almost every small character is an independent style, and each character is different and close to the Tao.
Sun Yaya was a little distracted when she saw "Jian Yi Tie". She felt that she was not looking at a copybook at all, but an all-encompassing painting. If she looked at it for too long, she would feel that her mind would be divided by each small character.
"Focus your mind."
When Ji Yuanzhong's calm voice came, Sun Yaya suddenly came to her senses and quickly shook her head to get rid of the lingering feeling just now.
"This calligraphy is amazing! Sir, I feel like these words are alive!"
Sun Yaya looked at Ji Yuan with surprise in her voice.
"Haha, sometimes you can trust your spiritual perception. It is often closer to the truth than yourself. Even when you are confused, your spiritual perception will last longer than your conscious mind."
Sun Yaya couldn't help but stare at the calligraphy with eyes wide open. When Mr. Ji said this, did he mean that these characters are really alive
Ji Yuan stood in front of the stone table and suddenly said with a smile.
"Don't hold it in, just say hello."
Sun Yaya turned to look at Ji Yuan. She was puzzled the moment before, but her ears became noisy the next moment.
"The master lets me speak!" "Hello, Yaya!"
"Sun Yaya, I saw you secretly blowing your nose in the yard when you were a child!"
“Me too, me too!” “Hahahahaha, that’s right, I saw it too!”
"The master asked me to greet you, not to expose your shortcomings!" "Sun Yaya, copy me first!"
"I, I, I am the first word!" "Yaya and I have similar temperaments!"
"You are not compatible at all!" "That is more compatible than you!"
A group of young calligraphers started arguing again after a few words. Sun Yaya was so shocked that she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. It was not until Ji Yuan allowed her to practice calligraphy that she began to write with uncontrollable excitement.
From time to time, the sound of small characters talking could be heard in her ears, and while she was practicing calligraphy, paper cranes flew over to watch. All this made Sun Yaya realize that her world was different from before.
…
Ji Yuan did not show Sun Yaya any magical skills right away, nor did he teach her any extraordinary methods from the beginning. He just asked her to practice calligraphy, and in addition to teaching by words and deeds, the most he asked her to do was to copy the "Sword Intent Post".
Sun Yaya is also very competitive. She has never been arrogant or impatient in this regard and has been practicing calligraphy with peace of mind. If she didn't have this kind of mentality, she wouldn't be able to practice calligraphy so well that Ji Yuan would be impressed.
Soon, it was winter and the end of the year was approaching. During this period of time, Sun Yaya went to Ju'an Xiaoge every day. Although people from the Sun family still came to propose marriage, the attitude of the entire Sun family from top to bottom had changed drastically. They all directly rejected the proposal, which made some matchmakers wonder whether the Sun family had found a good son-in-law.
On the day of the winter solstice, the sky was filled with fluffy snowflakes. Sun Yaya was still standing in the courtyard of Ju'an Pavilion, practicing calligraphy at the stone table. The jujube tree held up dense branches above her head, preventing the snowflakes from falling on her. Even in the cold winter, the wind in the courtyard of Ju'an Pavilion was still gentle.
Ji Yuan, who was sitting at the wooden table in the main room and reading the "Miaohua Heavenly Book", suddenly tilted his head slightly, but quickly turned his attention back to the book.
In Tianniufang, a fiery red fox tiptoed through Shuangjingpu, then quickly crossed the narrow alley and jumped to the outside of Ju'an Pavilion. Just as it was about to jump into the yard, it suddenly saw that there was no lock on the gate of the yard, and immediately a look of joy appeared on the fox's face.
Just as he was about to push the door open, he seemed to remember that mortals often came to Mr. Ji's house, so he went back to the courtyard wall, used his fox magic, and then jumped into the small pavilion. Neither the plaque on the small pavilion nor the jujube tree in the courtyard reacted to his unconventional approach.
In Ning'an County, as long as Hu Yun hadn't entered the Ju'an Pavilion, he was always cautious. He had been surrounded by "enemies" for many years. Even though he had some skills now, he still tried his best to avoid them.
As soon as Hu Yun landed, he looked up and around. At first glance, he was surprised to see Ji Yuan sitting in the house. Then he found Sun Yaya practicing calligraphy in the yard. He thought to himself that it was a good thing that he was careful, otherwise he would have been seen.
After writing the word "sword", Sun Yaya rubbed her sore arm, put down her pen and prepared to take a break. When she looked up, she was stunned.
In the sight, a fox with fiery red fur was walking on its two lower limbs, tiptoeing past the stone table and heading towards Mr. Ji's main house.
Hu Yun was walking, and before he reached Ji Yuan's house, he suddenly realized that the girl who was writing seemed to be looking at him, so he stretched out his hand and slowly shook it left and right. Sun Yaya's gaze also obviously moved along the trajectory of Hu Yun's claws.
Before Hu Yun could respond, Sun Yaya spoke first, her voice calmer than she had imagined.
"Are you a monster? I think I've seen you before!"
Hu Yun opened his mouth slightly and pointed his claws at himself.
"Can you see me!?"
Ji Yuan sat in the room and nodded. Good, it’s time to watch “The Wonderful Law of Heaven and Earth”.
