Reborn with you

The torrential rain in summer is a straightforward temper, and it will come when you say it.The bean-sized rain hit the blue tile roof, scattered on the tender petals, and gathered in the curved ditch, making the originally cool ground muddy, but everything above the ground was washed clean by the heavy rain net.The dark clouds accumulated overhead completely covered the scorching celestial body that should have been hanging high, making the whole world dark and gloomy, with only the rare skylight distinguishing it from the night.The thunder rang, and the people outside the house couldn't help trembling and fearful. Who can fight against such a powerful and invincible Tiangong? The only way is to speed up the pace of the feet, as if this can escape the uneasiness of being exposed to the world.On the contrary, the hustle and bustle outside the house made the people inside the house feel warm and at ease, as if as long as they were within the eaves, no matter how daunting the majesty of the rainstorm and thunder, it would be like a gentle wind and drizzle, and could not cause any harm to themselves.

Mr. Yin played with the wrench in his hand, his fingers shuttled nimbly, and the movements between his fingers were so nimble that he didn't look like an old man who was nearly seventy years old.The wrench in his hand is pure white and warm without any blemishes. It is obviously made of high-quality suet jade. The simple and neat shape is generous and simple, and it is a rare boutique.

Mr. Yin stood in front of the window, looking at the pouring rain outside with fascination. Some raindrops accidentally drifted in and wet the hem of Mr. Yin's clothes. Mr. Yin didn't seem to notice it, and let it develop until a cold wind blew by Only then did he feel the coolness on his body, and shivered a little.

Ye Shilan pondered over the unfinished chess game on the chessboard without raising her head, closed the paper fan in her hand, and tapped it lightly on the table, not noticing what her friend was doing, and only after a stick of incense passed, Ye Shilan frowned. After unfolding it, I looked towards the opposite side with a little pride, only to find that the chair opposite was empty. After searching the room, I found an old friend who was in a daze by the window. Coincidentally, the old friend was shivering from the cold Ye Shilan saw the whole scene.

"It's an old man who still refuses to accept his old ways, and he's not a young man anymore."

Hearing the concern of the old friend mixed in the banter, Mr. Yin left the window in a good manner and returned to the warm room.Putting on his fingers, he sat opposite to Ye Shilan again, and said with a smile: "How about it, come up with a good trick, let me tell you, you can't easily defeat my trick, do you want to admit defeat?"

Ye Shilan sneered, "How do you know that I can't break it, look." Ye Shilan picked up a white chess piece with her index finger and middle finger, and placed it on a certain position on the chessboard. The jade chess piece was on the red sandalwood chess table. Make a nice sound.Mr. Yin watched intently for a while, and then he saw the doorway, and only said: "High, this is a good move." Ye Shilan proudly opened the fan and shook it twice, regardless of whether it would catch cold in this weather. .

Mr. Yin couldn't understand Ye Shilan's complacent look, but Ye Shilan's move just now was indeed very clever. It not only reversed the situation where Ye Shilan was originally at a disadvantage, but also broke the dragon that he had been working for a long time.Knowing people by watching chess, this move is very powerful, but the person who can come up with this move must be very tenacious. According to what he has known for so many years, Ye Shilan is a smiling fox. Could it be that he has changed his character because of a move that would lead to the end of the boat, but when he played chess a few days ago, this person was still his usual style of chess, so he couldn't change his style of chess in just a few days.

Thinking of this, Mr. Yin gave Ye Shilan a suspicious look, "Old Ye, you really came up with this trick yourself?"

Ye Shilan paused when she heard the words, then put away her fan, and asked with a smile: "Oh, why did you say that, I, Ye Shilan, can't come up with a good move?"

Mr. Yin noticed Ye Shilan's momentary pause with his sharp eyes, and he knew in his heart that this person, Lao Ye, was not like this every time he had a ghost in his heart.

"Old Ye, don't you and I know that you can come up with a good trick, but this time, you have to see for yourself, can you figure it out with your temperament?" Mr. Yin pointed to the place where Ye Shilan had just dropped. , Confident, full of confidence.

Ye Shilan didn't feel annoyed when she saw someone punctured her. On the contrary, she opened her fan triumphantly and said, "Although I didn't think about it, what does my second disciple think is different from what I think!"

Mr. Yin was taken aback, he thought that Ye Shilan learned this trick from Mr. Yan or Mr. Li, but he didn't expect that it was Ye Shilan's own disciple who came up with it. "The child named Anzhi?"

Ye Shilan nodded and smiled.

"Old friend, although I can't compete with you in chess, there is one thing, my two apprentices are indeed better than you." The pride on Ye Shilan's face makes people who don't know it see that he has won two. Good son and not two apprentices.

Mr. Yin has high expectations for his three disciples, among which Zhou Sheng is the most talented, he is very pleased, and he has been secretly proud of finding three good disciples for himself. I started to compare myself, like a parent who would not see others say that his child is not good, no matter what his child is like.

Mr. Yin's complexion paled, and he said slowly: "How did you say that?"

Ye Shilan naturally paid attention to his old friend's expression, but he still smiled as if he didn't see it, "Come here, old friend, I'll show you something."

Mr. Yin also stood up with Ye Shilan and followed Ye Shilan towards the study. He wanted to see what kind of medicine Ye Shilan was selling in the gourd.The study was dark, and there was no one there, very deserted.Ye Shilan went straight to the wall and turned on the light. The soft light instantly dispelled the lingering darkness in the room, and the aroma of books and ink became stronger.Ye Shilan came to the bookcase, where there were many small cabinets with some books or picture scrolls inside.Ye Shilan directly took out twenty or so scrolls of calligraphy and painting from a small compartment, held them carefully, and placed them on a slightly larger table in the study.

Seeing this, Mr. Yin also understood what Ye Shilan took out, probably it was the calligraphy and painting of Ye Shilan's two disciples.

Ye Shilan squinted her eyes and stroked her beard and said, "These are the paintings and calligraphy of my two apprentices, you should take a look first."

Mr. Yin took out a scroll from the pile of calligraphy and paintings as he said, opened it to read, and then his eyes lit up, he glanced at the whole picture in a hurry, and then looked at it carefully for about two to three minutes, even the inscriptions and seals on the paintings Didn't let go.Then came the second volume, the third volume, the fourth volume...

Ye Shilan didn't bother, but as the admiration on Mr. Yin's face became stronger and stronger, the pride on his face became more and more obvious. It was not long ago that he finally realized that he had something that could make these old boys envy that's it.As for rare and exotic items, our Lao Ye is not so lucky, but my two apprentices are not bad.

It took almost an hour for Mr. Yin to finish reading all the picture scrolls on the table, put down the last word in his hand, and Mr. Yin rolled it up carefully.The head was still shaking, and he muttered: "Unbelievable, unbelievable, Lao Ye, are your two disciples really only seventeen or eighteen years old instead of 30 years old?" Ye Shilan's two disciples are very talented It's ridiculous, if he remembers correctly, it has only been seven or eight years since Ye Shilan took these two disciples under his sect, but judging from these picture scrolls, the two have more than seven or eight years of skill.Judging from the works of that first disciple, although there are still some areas that have not been handled properly, after his own processing, he has a different style. He himself cannot reach such a level at this age anyway; as for the second disciple. It's not like a young disciple who has only studied for less than ten years. If he is a person with a little average aptitude, he may not be able to compare with others when he is 30 years old. Especially his calligraphy. Just looking at this word, he couldn't associate the author of this word with that quiet young man anyway.

"How, are Anzhi and Xingzhi better than your Zhou Sheng?"

Mr. Yin sighed, turned around to stare at Ye Shilan, and said sternly, "Lao Ye, let me discuss it, can you give me one?"

Ye Shilan's eyes widened, and she said gruffly, "Think about it."

Mr. Yin himself knew that this was a joke, someone's disciple gave it away indiscriminately, let alone such a talented person.It's just that Ye Shilan, an old man, is a bit lucky. It's rare to see such a talented person, let alone two, but he actually picked up two.

Mr. Yin suddenly remembered something, and put away the joke on his face, "It just so happens that the dragon dance competition will be held this year, Lao Ye, have you ever thought about sending your two apprentices to participate in the competition? In my opinion, you The level of these two apprentices is enough."

Ye Shilan sighed, and put away the complacent expression just now, "I actually thought about it, but considering their age, they lack the qualifications to participate in that kind of competition, so I still haven't made up my mind. Letting you see these is to let you help to see if you want them to go."

Mr. Yin laughed loudly, and patted Ye Shilan on the shoulder, "Old Ye, you think too much, even if the two children are not qualified enough, so what, they are still so young, so they should just increase their experience. "

Ye Shilan has no children of her own, and he has always regarded Shan Qiang and the three as his own children, so when it comes to important matters related to the three of them, it is inevitable that he thinks a lot. Come on, young people, how can it be smooth all the time? If you really encounter any setbacks, it may be a good thing.

At dinner that night, both Shan Qiang and Chen Yishui felt that something was wrong with the way Mr. Yin looked at them. Shan Qiang thought about it carefully, whether he had offended this gentleman recently, but he couldn't figure it out after much deliberation. Come up with an idea.Unable to come up with a result, Shan Qiang let it go, Master, it's so strange sometimes.

The heavy rain that started at noon gradually subsided, and it stopped completely at around seven o'clock. The air was filled with the fragrance of soil, and the slightly rising temperature was just right for people to feel comfortable. , and the voice of a mother scolding a naughty child came from nowhere.Shan Qiang closed her eyes, took a deep breath, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then slowly opened her eyes. The originally brown pupils were also rendered pure black under the night. Mysterious and serene, intoxicating.

When the rainstorm first came, it was hearty and refreshing; after it was finished, it was as quiet as a virgin, refreshing and peaceful.That's why he loves rainstorms.Every time the summer rainstorm is over, Shan Qiang will be in a good mood. At this time, he is either painting or writing. The works produced in this state are better than those produced in ordinary days.

Shan Qiang went back into the room, spread out the paper, and patiently rubbed the ink, planning to write some characters.Chen Yishui came in at this moment, bringing the news that the master let them go.

It's still in Ye Shilan's study, and everyone who came to the party this time has arrived, and fortunately Ye Shilan's study is big enough, otherwise it would be too big to fit.Seeing the battle, Shan Qiang wondered what happened. Seeing Ye Shilan smiling at him and Chen Yishui, Shan Qiang trembled uncontrollably, wondering if she had been tricked by her master again.

Ye Shilan looked at his two proud disciples with a smile, the more she watched, the more satisfied she was.Mr. Yin couldn't see it, he clenched his fist and coughed, reminding Ye Shilan that enough is enough.Ye Shilan glanced at her old friend flauntingly, and then slowly said: "I have decided to let the two of you participate in the dragon dance competition in four months' time."

Shan Qiang and Chen Yishui looked at each other, and they both saw the other's question from the other's eyes, the dragon dance competition, what is this?
