In March of Yangchun, the climate in Yanbei is still a bit cold, but the plum blossoms that have withered in the south of the Yangtze River are still blooming here.

In the small pavilion in the plum garden, the bronze dragon head censer on the table curls up lightly, exuding a light fragrance, which blends with the fragrance of plum blossoms in the garden, forming an elegant and subtle fragrance when it enters the nose.

The four or five-year-old children squatting in front of the pavilion took a deep breath of this fragrance, their small chests straightened, as if they were refreshed again.

Mei Jingxian was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, seeing that the time was almost up, she called softly: "The time is here, Wuji, come in."

The little boy in a white shirt and a cotton wool jacket breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up and trotted into the pavilion, looked up at Mei Jingxian with his little face up, and said with his small mouth that had lost his front teeth, "Lion Huh, Wuji is still generous and respectful to the group."

Mei Jingxian coughed lightly. The little thing fell and lost its front tooth a few days ago. Now it is not only slurring its mouth, but opening its mouth wider, revealing the entire gap in the tooth. .

Thinking of yesterday, when she couldn't help laughing out loud, she coaxed the little thing who was wronged and shed tears for more than half an hour, Mei Jingxian suppressed the corners of her mouth that could not help but smile, wiped the fine sweat from the other party's forehead with a handkerchief, and said softly: " Everything is too late, Wuji is still growing, so squatting for a while is enough, let's practice calligraphy for a while."

The child nodded, obediently sat on the stone bench covered with a thick blanket, and picked up the brush set aside to write big characters.

Mei Jingxian looked at his well-behaved appearance, and felt a little soft in her heart.

He originally thought that his first apprentice would be Hua Wuyou, the son of Lin Shiyin and Hua Manxuan. Unexpectedly, Xie Wuji appeared on the way.

Xie Xun, the golden-haired lion king, had assumed the position of leader of Mingjiao a few years ago. Because of the many affairs in the teaching, he was worried that he could not raise his son well, so he handed over his son Xie Wuji to Su He, the most powerful Yin-Yang sword in Mingjiao. Rab wanted his son to be Suhrab's disciple.

Who knows that Suhrab is impatient to raise a baby, and seeing that Xie Wuji seems to like rhythm, he suggested that the little baby should be worshiped under Mei Jingxian's school-at least let the young leader learn the healing method of Changgemen, and they will teach them in the future There is also a guarantee.

Xie Xunsi and Mei Jingxian's kindness to rescue him a few years ago, and also admiring his benefactor's extraordinary demeanor, wished to make his son a man of both civil and military skills like Mr. Qingyu, so he took his son all the way to Wanmei without saying a word. Villa, begged Mei Jingxian to accept his disciples.

It was the middle of winter at that time, with heavy snowfall, and the land of Yanbei was extremely cold, dripping into ice, Xie Xun's blond hair was dyed white by snowflakes, and a layer of ice flakes formed on his messy thick eyebrows.

Xie Wuji's small body was wrapped in blankets, and his exposed face was flushed red from the cold, but he still didn't cry or make trouble, and only looked at Mei Jingxian with a pair of clear big eyes.

Mei Jingxian couldn't bear it, so she agreed to accept Xie Wuji.

After formally appreciating the teacher and paying homage to the teacher tea, Xie Xun left Wanmei Villa with peace of mind, leaving behind his five-year-old son.

Suddenly taking over such a young child, Mei Jingxian was a little at a loss at first, but Xie Wuji was obedient and obedient, and he didn't like to cry, which was very reassuring. Mei Jingxian got used to having such a little baby by his side all day The latter is called Master.

Xie Wuji is very interested in the qin, but the qin is different from the zither. When playing the qin, you can’t wear armor. You can only pluck the strings with your fingers. Xie Wuji is too young and his fingers are delicate, so it is not easy to learn the qin directly. Mei Jingxian had to teach him first. Familiar with the five sounds, supplemented by daily exercises to strengthen the body, prepare for sword learning, and teach reading and writing.

It has been three months since Xie Wuji arrived at Wanmei Villa, but it has added a lot of fun to Mei Jingxian's life, and he can't help but look forward to Hua Wuyou who will come two years later.

Suddenly heard a very slight sound, Mei Jingxian's eyes flashed, her expression remained unchanged, but she hummed softly in her heart.

Obviously, he could approach quietly without him noticing, but he had to make such noises, looking at who doesn't know that he did it on purpose.

Mei Jingxian casually straightened the blue feathers on her sleeves, deliberately ignoring them.

The movement in the distance became louder again, this time even Xie Wuji heard it.

Xie Wuji looked up, then turned to the master beside him, and said obediently: "Lion, the owner is here."

Mei Jingxian smiled at him, "Concentrate on writing."

"Oh." Xie Wuji nodded, and continued to write big characters seriously.

Mei Jingxian took a sip of tea slowly, picked up the pen on the other side, dipped it in some paint, and began to draw on the blank drawing paper.

Here, the master and the apprentice, one writing and one painting, were concentrating on not being disturbed by foreign objects. After a while, someone finally couldn't hold back and walked over slowly.

Xie Wuji stood up and bowed obediently, "Master."

Ximen Chuuxue nodded slightly, then turned to look at Mei Jingxian.

As if Mei Jingxian didn't see him coming, she stuck to the paintbrush with her slender fingers, and randomly drew a few gray and black marks on the white drawing paper.

Seeing that the other party ignored him, Ximen Chuuxue paused, and sat down with his robe lifted.

Mei Jingxian didn't seem to notice his gaze, changed a brush, dipped some red ink on the rough gray and black scratches, and carefully sketched. Not long after, a red plum tree in full bloom appeared vividly on the paper .

His painting techniques are very ingenious. Every few strokes that seem meaningless or mistaken can achieve amazing results in the end. Xie Wuji, who wrote big characters, stopped his pen at some point and looked at the master's hand. In that painting, the mouth grows big, revealing the gap where a front tooth is missing in the mouth, and the expression is full of surprise.

After finishing painting the plum tree, Mei Jingxian drew two people under the plum tree. The young man in white and crane feathers held the little child by his waist and lifted it up so that the other person could reach for the plum blossoms above his head.

He put the brush aside, and Xie Wuji excitedly said, "It's me and Shihu who are picking hair!"

Mei Jingxian patted his round head and said loudly, "Xiao Wu."

A gray shadow flashed, and a figure stood outside the court, bowing its head respectfully, "My lord."

Mei Jingxian carefully picked up the painting on the table, "Take it and frame it and hang it in my room. The ink marks are still wet, so be careful when you carry it."

Ximen Chuuxue suddenly said: "There is one person missing in the painting."

Mei Jingxian didn't answer, Xie Wuji suddenly said: "That's right, Shihu, when we plucked the hair, the owner was there."

Mei Jingxian didn't even look at Ximen Chuuxue, and said indifferently: "Everything that should be there is here."

Right now, Ximen Chuuxue should not be in the painting.

After speaking, Mei Jingxian turned to Xiao Wu, "Take the painting away."

Xiao Wu didn't dare to raise his head, and immediately disappeared without a trace after taking the drawing paper.

Mei Jingxian turned to Xie Wuji again, "Wuji, if you can't finish writing, save it for the afternoon. The kitchen has stewed your favorite sweet potato syrup. Let's go have a bowl."

Xie Wuji nodded immediately, "Okay!"

The two masters and apprentices packed up the pens and papers together, and left the garden hand in hand.

After walking through two corridors, Xie Wuji suddenly whispered: "Shihu, did you quarrel with the owner?"

Mei Jingxian's expression remained unchanged, "Why do you ask that?"

"Because you haven't talked to the owner for many days. When my mother and my father are angry, they ignore my father like this." Xie Wuji frowned, worrying like a little adult, "I saw you before You guys are fighting together in the room, the lion is crying in pain."

He accidentally tripped and broke his front teeth just to prevent the owner from beating his master.

Mei Jingxian stumbled, almost stepped on the other foot, her cheeks were hot.

He pursed his lips tightly, and scolded Ximen Chuuxue thousands of times in his heart.

Xie Wuji continued, "I will definitely practice martial arts in the future. If Zhuang Master wants to fight lions again, I will hit him."

Mei Jingxian was very pleased with his disciple's filial piety, coughed lightly, but said: "It doesn't have to be."

After thinking about it, in order to prevent his apprentice from harboring a grudge against Ximen Chuixue because of this misunderstanding, he held back his embarrassment, and continued: "He didn't beat Master, Master...Master accidentally ate chili, and that's why he cried."

Xie Wuji suddenly realized that he knew that Master could not eat chili.

A long time ago, Master accidentally ate chili peppers. As a result, his entire face turned red, even the flowers on his eyebrows were red, and tears kept streaming from his eyes. It was the owner who brought Master back to the room for treatment for a long time before he came out. Woolen cloth.

Thinking of this, Xie Wuji blamed himself a lot. He likes spicy food very much. At that time, the spicy soup on the table was prepared for him. Who knew that Master accidentally drank it, and even ate the red pepper. People are as red as peppers.

Seeing that he had finally been fooled, and seeing that the little apprentice stopped asking questions, Mei Jingxian couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

-

In the afternoon of this day, Lu Xiaofeng, who had been away for many days, came to Wanmei Villa again.

When the housekeeper led him in, he hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Young Master seems to have had some troubles with the owner these days, and he hasn't paid attention to the owner for a long time."

Mei Jingxian's temper has always been gentle, and he seldom has any quarrels when getting along with others, not to mention that this person is Ximen Chuuxue who agrees with him, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard this.

He suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help saying: "But it started when you came back from Yangzhou last month?"

Last month, Huamanlou's father, Hua Ruling, celebrated his birthday. Mei Jingxian and Ximen Chuuxue were also invited to attend, and Lu Xiaofeng also met with them.

At that time, Mei Jingxian had a little accident at the birthday banquet, Ximen Chuuxue was a little worried, and Mei Jingxian was also a little unhappy, but neither of them has the temperament to argue with each other, so he and Huamanlou Never took this matter to heart.

Could it be a problem at that time?

The butler shook his head and didn't say much, just said: "If it's okay, please ask Mr. Lu to talk to you. Now that the young master has moved out of the owner's Tingfeng Pavilion, the two of them can't even eat at the same table. Come on, the two masters are having such an unpleasant quarrel, and we servants feel uncomfortable watching it."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded thoughtfully, he was so troubled that he slept in a separate room, it seems that this problem is indeed serious.

While talking, the two entered the main hall. It was lunch time, and Ximen Chuuxue was sitting at the table with a large table of dishes in front of him.

West Lake Vinegar Fish, Braised Eggplant, Egg Yolk Tofu, Three Sets of Duck, and Bitter Gourd Soup are all Mei Jingxian’s favorite dishes.
