Qianxun dipped her brush in ink and finished her piece in one go, then took a seal from her pocket and stamped her name on it.
Seeing Qianxun’s actions, a calligrapher from the S City Calligraphy Association couldn’t help but slightly raise his eyebrows.
She even brought her own seal; this girl is quite interesting.
Afterward, he walked up to Qianxun.
Once he saw Qianxun’s elegant, smooth, and flawless cursive script, his eyes widened as if he had discovered a treasure.
Had the other contestants not still been competing, he nearly couldn’t resist shouting "Excellent" out loud.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, the calligrapher waved at Qianxun and whispered, "Young lady, come here for a moment."
Hearing this, Qianxun slightly raised her eyebrows, but after seeing the identity badge hanging around his neck, she still approached, "Did this teacher want to speak with me?"
"How long have you been practicing calligraphy? Your cursive script has a very solid foundation!" The other party’s eyes shone as he looked at her.
Being so young and able to produce such a naturally perfect work, it’s clear she has a great talent for calligraphy.
Hearing the question, Qianxun slightly raised her eyebrows and then said, "About seven or eight years."
Her words were indeed true; she had been personally taught calligraphy by Yanzhi for seven or eight years until a famous Xia Dynasty calligrapher nodded in approval of her characters, and only then did she stop learning.
In ancient times, her characters would have been considered mediocre, but in modern society, where hard pen usage is more common and those taught calligraphy by a renowned teacher from a young age are few, she indeed had a great advantage!
Hearing Qianxun’s words, the calligrapher couldn’t help but exclaim, "To achieve so much in just seven or eight years, you are very talented!"
Such mastery of cursive script is usually seen only among some of the masters in the Calligraphy Association!
Qianxun responded indifferently, "It’s just that diligence rewards, practicing diligently every day naturally shows results, it’s not about having talent."
When she first started practicing calligraphy, it nearly drove her to despair.
Being a fox spirit, she naturally lacked concentration, and without Yanzhi’s direct guidance, she wouldn’t have been able to settle down and practice writing at all.
And hearing this, the other party looked at her with even more agreement, "Correct, calligraphy cannot be mastered quickly, you must continue to practice diligently!"
Qianxun slightly twitched the corners of her mouth and then nodded, "I understand, thank you for the compliment, teacher."
"Hehe, indeed your writing is excellent!"
Soon, the other contestants also completed their works.
However, after seeing Qianxun’s characters, when they looked at the others’, they felt something was lacking in charm.
So when all the works were completed, the calligrapher unhesitatingly awarded Qianxun first place and said, "Su Qianxun’s calligraphy can be considered a master’s work, undoubtedly deserving of first place!"
Then, he signaled the staff members to hang Qianxun’s work on the wall for display.
Seeing Qianxun’s piece, the other contestants couldn’t help but look at her in amazement.
Although they were still young and had been practicing calligraphy for at least four years, they all had different preferences in calligraphy styles but had to admit that Su Qianxun’s characters were indeed excellent.
They had no objections to her taking first place.
After the scoring concluded, the calligrapher then said, "The works you have all created will be sent to a charity auction to provide warmth to children in poor areas, no objections, right?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded immediately, "No objections."
Though they might not sell for much, it was still a good deed to help children in poor areas.
