Royal rice bug, worm worm!

After dinner, Wei Yu took Li Xi to Mr. Miki's house.

Unlike Li Xi, this famous violin maker did not live in the prosperous north of the city, but in the southwest corner of Chang'an City, which was extremely desolate and where wild beasts even appeared.

Mr. Miki's house is quite big, but the house is small, and there is a large open space where trees are planted and horses are raised.Wei Yu said that it was used to make Qin.

Mr. Miki's first wife passed away many years ago, and now he lives with his two sons, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter.The whole family has a simple and honest appearance, they treat others with sincerity and enthusiasm, and they are not as lofty and aloof as the outside legends say.

Li Xi found that the Mu family respected Wei Yu very much, and even treated him very well.

Mr. Miki led Wei Yu to get the piano, and Li Xi was waiting for him in the main room.Mr. Miki's son and daughter-in-law sat with him, pouring him tea for a while, and treating him to snacks for a while.

Li Xi couldn't help asking a question, only to realize that what Wei Yu said, "I did a little favor for Mr. Miki", saved the lives of their whole family.

Back then, someone fell in love with Mr. Miki's craftsmanship and designed to frame him. The Jingzhao Mansion has already sentenced him, and the whole family has been convicted.

It was Wei Yu who felt that something was wrong and insisted on finding out the truth at the risk of offending Shangfeng, thus repaying the Mu family's innocence.

It was also because of this case that Wei Yu's talent was noticed by the sage, and he was promoted to Dali Temple, step by step to the position of Shaoqing.

Years later, the Mu family still remembers his kindness.It's just that Wei Yu never asked for anything in return, even if some dignitaries wanted to borrow his hands to buy Mu's Qin, he never responded.

This time, for Li Xi, he came to the door for the first time.

Mr. Miki's beard and hair are white, his body is hunched, but his hands are very steady, especially when he is tuning the piano, he is full of energy, as if he is 20 years younger.

"This Qin is called 'One Heart'. It was made by the ancestors of the Mu clan. It is no worse than the 'Shuimingjian' of the Zheng clan. If your benefactor does not dislike it, then accept it."

Although Mr. Miki didn't say it clearly, Wei Yu could guess that this Yixinqin is a family heirloom of the Mu family.

He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Beginners don't need such a treasure to play the piano. Mister, just change it."

Mr. Miki was taken aback, "Isn't it for Shaoqing's own use?"

"Well, it's not me." Wei Yu hooked his lips, "It's for my sweetheart."

——These three words are read out, and there is a secret joy.

Mr. Miki smiled, and handed Yixinqin forward, "Since that's the case, it's even more important to give the best one."

"To tell you the truth, sir, he is not a qin-loving person. He has never been able to calm down and finish playing a piece. He just likes colorful and lively ones. If you have those carved with flowers and colorful strings, you can take them out. He will definitely like them. "

"It sounds like a lively person...but that little nobleman outside?"

Wei Yu paused, then nodded frankly.

Mr. Miki smiled knowingly, carefully put down the Yixinqin, turned to go outside, and took down a long and narrow wooden box carved with flowers from the shelf.

The lid of the box is opened to reveal the violin inside.

There are no carvings on the piano, but it is painted with simple auspicious cloud patterns. The seven strings are indeed multicolored, with the upturned head and tail of the piano. Just looking at it, it seems to hear the music, and someone has turned into a fairy.

Wei Yu smiled immediately, "That's it."

It had to be said that he knew Li Xi very well.

When Li Xi saw the Qin, he hugged it regardless.

"There is no need to doubt, when this piano is unveiled in the classroom tomorrow, it will definitely become the best-looking one in Chang'an! No birdsong or Yulin piano can compare to mine!"

Seeing the posture of him holding the qin, Mr. Miki covered his face, very grateful that he didn't give him the qin.

Wei Yu is not the case, the bright smile of the little gold bug is what his heart wants.Not to mention just holding the piano, even if it is dropped or burned, it will not even blink.

After coming out of Heping Square, it was already very late, the evening bell of Ci'en Temple rang three hundred times, and the gate of the square was about to close.

Li Xi sent Wei Shaoqing home in a very masculine manner, and demanded domineeringly: "Two days after tomorrow, you will have a bath, and the girls will definitely go when school starts again. You should stay at the male school, even if the mountain is long If you are asked to teach the little lady, you are not allowed to agree, do you understand?"

"Your servant obeys." Wei Yu shook his hand jokingly.

Xiao Fu Wang raised his eyebrows, squeezed his fist and bumped his chest, full of quackery, "Then I'm leaving, you sleep well."

"Okay." Wei Shaoqing smiled.

Li Xi got on his horse and drove off in the dust against the sunset glow.

There are government soldiers in front of you to clear the way, and behind you there are hidden guards to protect each other. The people along the way retreated one after another, and they held Jinwu's street to make them ring gongs.

Such precious and eye-catching little Fu Wang belongs to him.

Wei Shaoqing is not a naturally confident person. On the contrary, he is very cautious. He takes one step and sees three steps. His contribution is always far greater than his gain.Only in the face of feelings, he never hesitated, never flinched, and Li Xi also gave him a surprise that far exceeded his efforts.

He is very happy.

I have never been so thankful to God.

Back in the small courtyard, I saw an unexpected person, his second sister, Wei Qingqing.

The reason why it was called the second younger sister was because in his heart, there was a place forever reserved for the younger sister who died of dystocia.

Wei Qingqing is very similar to him in some aspects, such as being unwilling to be ordinary and striving to be the best, but she also has a fatal weakness-talent does not match ambition.

My heart is higher than the sky, I don't work hard enough, and I always like to think of some heresy.However, she can never see through this point, she can only blame the unfairness of fate, and blame herself for being a woman with few opportunities.

Wei Yu is not surprised that she appeared here today.

"Brother, I made you a piece of clothing. You can try to find out what doesn't fit, and I'll change it later." Wei Qingqing changed his usual aloof appearance and tried to please him.

Wei Yu didn't try, but said in a low voice, "What do you want to say, just say it."

Wei Qingqing bit her lip, "Brother, do you have to do this? Are you planning to never treat us as a family?"

Wei Yu rubbed his temples, "If you don't want to talk, go out."

Wei Qingqing looked at him unwillingly, and said: "Since brother has guessed it, please help me, I want to enter the palace."

Wei Yu was not surprised, and said calmly: "It is the will of the saints that the family members of officials above the fifth rank are only eligible to be selected, and whether they can be finally selected into the palace is not up to me."

Wei Qingqing wrung the handkerchief and said expectantly: "I know, as long as my brother allows me to go."

Wei Yu stared into her eyes and paused every word: "This road is not only full of flowers, but also full of thorns. If you are not careful, you will lose your life. Qingniang, have you thought about it?"

"I've thought about it, I can't think about it anymore." Wei Qingqing said firmly.

"You don't regret it."

"A hundred deaths without regrets."

Wei Yu sighed lightly: "I will make arrangements tomorrow, just go out."

"Thank you, brother." Wei Qingqing gave a respectful salute before retreating.

Wei Yu's eyes fell on that dress, with an indigo base and black dark lines, which was the style he liked to wear at home.

His own dress was torn under the armpit. Granny Li cut a piece of fabric of the same color and mended it with a few random stitches.

The imperial decree for concubine selection had just been issued, and it was impossible for Wei Qingqing to make this robe within a day.

Just like back then, when Xiao drove him to his grandfather's house, he pretended not to know him even if he met him in Lieshan.It was Wei Qingqing who threw him a silver hairpin through the car window, which gave him the courage and capital to escape from his aunt's control and go to Pingkangfang by himself.

That's why Wei Yu agreed to help Wei Qingqing.

***

At the end of May, summer is at its most prosperous.

The gentlemen and ladies wear bright clothes, reflecting the red flowers and green willows, and there are beautiful scenery wherever they go.

Even if... standing on top of the wall without any image.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, if you squeeze any more, the stone will tip over, and we all have to fall." Li Xi secretly pushed Li Mujin, taking the position with the best view.

"Don't let me squeeze, but you squeeze happily, do you want to show some face?" Li Mujin pushed him back to He Lanpu's side.

He Lanpu smiled with a good temper, "My place is big, brother Xi is here!"

Li Xi was dissatisfied and wanted to take revenge, but Chai Lanlan suddenly said: "Shut up, the carriage from Shanggong Bureau has arrived."

The ladies and gentlemen cheered up and looked over eagerly, they were much more serious than they were in class.

The carriage of the Six Shang Bureau carried the selected noble ladies, as well as the female gentleman who taught the noble ladies etiquette knowledge.

The first one to come down was Zheng Jiarou, Lord of Changning County.

"Wow~" There was an exclamation on the wall.

The former No. [-] beauty in Chang'an, her charm remains the same as before.Time seems to have treated her particularly favorably, without leaving many traces on her body, but it has precipitated for her a calmness and charm that she never had in her [-] years.

Li Xi touched the jade ring on his waist, feeling strange.I don't know why, but I have an inexplicable affection for her.

He obviously doesn't like Zheng Ni very much.

——At this time, I have completely forgotten, and just a few days ago I still regarded Zheng Wei as my sweetheart.

Cui Lanxin came down with several noble ladies, Li Xi couldn't see her face, but only recognized the curtain on her head.

All noble ladies wear long curtains like her, covering head to toe.

There were sighs.

The gentlemen are disappointed, and the ladies are surprised.

"They don't wear this all the time?"

"It's useless to wear beautiful clothes!"

"No matter how pretty your face is, you can't see it!"

"Aren't you bored?"

The first group of young ladies who were selected to enter the palace were either from the royal family of the Li family or their relatives were dignitaries. Most of their ancestors were of Hu blood, they won the world on horseback, and they had the same requirements for their sons and daughters.

Most of the noble ladies who participated in the imperial concubine election came from the family of the Central Plains and came from the Qingliu family. They were deeply influenced by poetry, books, rituals and music, and the etiquette rules were naturally stricter.

Covering the body with a curtain fence is not only for the protection of men and women, but also to restrain the little lady's walking, sitting and lying posture.

Anyway, quite tired.

Li Xi poked Chai Lanlan, "The one with orchids embroidered on the curtain fence is my little sister, please take care of me when you turn around."

Chai Lanlan didn't say anything, Li Mujin was surprised first, "When did you have a younger sister, why didn't I know?"

Li Xi patted her shoulder with a smile, "Don't be jealous, don't care how many little sisters I have, you will always be my favorite stinky sister."

"Sister is just Sister, what does it mean to add the word 'stinky'?"

"Because my favorite elder sister is the second elder sister!"

"Li Xi!" Li Mujin rolled up his sleeves and wanted to beat him up.

Li Xi climbed over the wall and jumped out.

Originally, he wanted to run over to say hello to Zheng Jiarou, but he bumped into Li Hong at the corner.

"what are you doing here?"

"Uncle also came to peek at the little lady?"

The father and son spoke in unison.

Then, both were silent.

Li Xi retreated guiltily, "I didn't peek at the little lady, I came to find Mrs. Wei, yes, I asked him to explain the "Book of History" to me, I'm afraid he might forget..."

"stop."

Li Xi ran faster.

With his hands behind his back, Li Hong said in a deep voice, "Flying Dragon Guard."

Fei Longwei appeared and carried Xiao Fu Wang back.

Li Xi gestured with a small pointed stick, "Let me tell you, if you dare to beat me with a whip, I will go to Changle Palace to complain."

Li Hong's face darkened even more, "I won't hit you, I will give you an errand."

"What errand?" Li Xi didn't relax his vigilance.

Li Hong coughed lightly, turned his gaze to the side, and said vaguely: "Today at noon your grandmother hosted a banquet at Changle Palace, and invited... Lord Changning to go, and you will call her when the time comes."

Li Xi blinked, "Grandmother hosted a banquet and didn't let the servants pass the word, but my uncle invited me and asked me to call? Why do I think it's unreliable?"

"If you tell me to call you, I will call you. Why are there so many nonsense? If you use this cleverness in reading, you will be strong already." Li Hong was annoyed.

Li Xi clicked his tongue, and Diao Erlang immediately held the hand, "Observe the order."

After a while, Li Xi found Wei Yu and dragged him to the foot of the rockery, with a nervous expression on his face.

"Let me tell you, the great cause is in danger. The sage took advantage of the sex and wanted to rob the minister's wife, and even asked me to be a matchmaker! Do you think I want to be this eternal sinner?"

Wei Yu cleared his throat and pointed to the top of his head.

There is a gazebo on the rockery, and standing in the gazebo is the saint who "sees the beauty" and not far away, there is the "minister's wife"...
