Chapter 612: I’m Guiding You
Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong:”…” Where were the rules and etiquette?
The mountain elder said in all seriousness, “I’ll just sit at the side. You do your thing and I’ll watch mine. Don’t worry, I won’t make a sound to disturb you.”
Gu Yundong’s hand that was holding the charcoal pen was a little stiff. Mountain Elder Qi, you’ve been an official for many years and have an imposing aura. You’re already disturbing me by sitting beside me, okay?
“Hurry up. You have a total of 20 paintings.” Mountain Elder Qi still had a serious expression. “I’ll take the opportunity to see how your handwriting is and give you some pointers.”
Gu Yundong was speechless. This was the first time she had seen someone stealing skills from others in such a refreshing and refined manner.
“Why? Do you think I can’t guide you?” Seeing that she did not move for a long time, Mountain Elder Qi became a little anxious. He immediately said with a straight face, “Do you know how many people in Tianhai Academy want to receive half a word of advice from me?”
Gu Yundong smiled. “No, it’s my honor to have the mountain elder’s guidance.”
“Yes.” Mountain Elder Qi nodded in satisfaction.
Gu Yundong secretly heaved a sigh of relief and lowered her head to look at the paintings.
Her speed was not considered fast, but her serious and responsible attitude made Mountain Elder Qi nod repeatedly.
After reviewing one, Gu Yundong carefully placed it aside.
Then, Mountain Elder Qi took it over as if he was really looking at her handwriting. As he read, he said, “Your handwriting is not bad, but the style is a little strange.”
That was all he said. Then he began to focus on the painting and read Gu Yundong’s comments.
Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched. Forget it, as long as he was happy.
She continued to flip through the next painting. Just as she was about to write, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Gu Yundong was stunned for a moment when the mountain elder beside her suddenly stood up. He was a few steps away from the desk, as if it had been someone else who was sitting at the side and looking at the painting.
He had just taken two steps when Qi Ting came in with a lunch box.
The mountain elder nodded at him. “Alright, since the food has been brought back, bring Madam Gu and Second Miss Gu to the reception hall to eat first. Remember to entertain them well.”
Qi Ting’s hand, which was about to put down the lunch box, paused. “Me??”
“Of course. Aren’t you the master?”
Qi Ting glanced at Little Yunke and Madam Yang, who were playing with the puzzle pieces not far away. This puzzle was given to them by Mountain Elder Qi. It was a good toy for children.
He glanced at Mountain Elder Qi and Gu Yundong, who did not seem to intend to eat now. He could only accept his fate and call the two of them to the reception hall at the back.
The little girl looked at Gu Yundong, who nodded. “Go ahead. Eldest Sister will wait for Father to come back before having lunch. You and Mother can go eat first.”
She was indeed not hungry. It was not time for lunch yet. But Gu Yunke was different. The young lady did not eat much in the morning. Usually, when she was at home, they would prepare some snacks or fruits. When she was hungry, she could fill her stomach.
However, she was coming to Tianhai Academy today. The young lady had heard from her brother that she could not eat casually in school, so she did not bring any snacks. In fact, she was already a little hungry.
With Gu Yundong’s approval, she put down the puzzle and obediently held Madam Yang’s hand as she followed behind Qi Ting.
Gu Yundong continued to examine the paintings on the table.
Qi Ting led them to wash their hands first. Madam Yang and Gu Yunke were quiet. After washing their hands, Madam Yang wiped her hands with a handkerchief.
Qi Ting watched from the side. He was about to say that a brat was a brat, who needed someone else to wipe her hands. Who knew that in the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened.
