Peerless luthier

Zhong Yi is 14 years old.

Zhong Yi started learning the piano at the age of five. His father was a piano teacher named Zhong Han.He is well-known in Andu.

Qinzi selection exams are held every summer in Andu.

This summer, Cicadas called the time happily, but Zhong Yi couldn't catch them like in previous years.Because he who caught cicadas at the beginning is now always caught by his father to practice the repertoire for the exam.

Zhong Han was considered a great luthier in Andu. When he was ten years old, he not only passed the selection examination cleanly, but was also recommended by a respected old master, and entered Yunyin Academy directly.

This was a remarkable thing at the time.

The selection of Qinzi is very strict.Qinzi is a student who specializes in piano or is very accomplished in piano. Zhong Hanyu went to a school with a general reputation, but he is very good at school and has always been appreciated by his masters.

The second is the recommendation of Master Xun.Old Master Xun has made great achievements in teaching piano. He is a proud old man, and he rarely recommends students, let alone recommends students from other colleges.

Zhong Han was sent to Yunying Academy.Yunyin Academy has a history of more than 100 years. It is the most famous academy in Andu City. The imperial court once awarded it a gold plaque, which was inscribed by the emperor at that time.

Zhong Han was only 15 years old when he graduated from Yunying Academy. At that time, many marquises and nobles had invited him to be a regular luthier in their residence.

Later, Zhong Yi's grandfather took Zhong Han to Han Wangfu.

Since then, Zhong Han has been the luthier of Han Wangfu.

King Han's Mansion has a good reputation in Andu. When his father first went to King Han's Mansion, the old King Han was still there, and he admired Zhong Han.Later, Zhong Han's father died of illness, and the old King Han even arranged for his grandfather's funeral.

Father stayed in King Han's Mansion for five years until the old King Han passed away.

In that year, Yunying Academy invited him back to Yunying Academy to be his master and teach piano, so Zhong Han resigned from his job in Hanwangfu.

Since then, Zhong Han has been working as a luthier at Yunying Academy.

Zhong Han married at the age of 20. Yan Hui was from Hecheng, and his father was the governor of Hecheng. Their family backgrounds were somewhat different, but Yan Hui resolutely married Zhong Han.

A year later, Zhong Yi was born.

He heard from his mother that what he grabbed at the lottery banquet was a qin carved from a piece of jade, and his father was very happy. At that time, everyone thought that Zhong Yi was as talented as his father, and might become the next top qin master in Andu. .

In Zhong Yi's heart, his father has always been respected.

It may be related to his gentle and polite character and his status as a master, or it may be that he has some personal relationship with the current Prince Han.

Every time my father walks down the street holding Zhong Yi, someone greets him.Some of them would say: "Carillonist, I recently brought back a new violin from the capital, why don't you take Zhong Xiaoyi to my house and help me tune the tone?"

Because my mother always said that Zhong Yi was very cute when she was young, people who are acquainted with their family usually like to add a "little" in the middle of Zhong Yi's name.

Zhong Yi was practicing the piano in the piano room, and Ah Li walked in slowly from the door.

Seeing the iced bayberry in his hand, Zhong Yi began to salivate.

Ah Li saw Zhong Yi and shook his head: "Mother said that you are tired from piano practice, so I want me to send you some red bayberry. I don't think it is necessary. You are obviously in a daze, so there is no need to rest. In my opinion—"

When he said this, Zhong Yi knew it was not good.He hurriedly interrupted him, and hurriedly stood up to grab the plate: "My mother asked you to give it to me! You are not allowed to eat it!" Who would have thought that he would hold the plate high, bypass Zhong Yi with ease, and sit firmly on the small round table sit down.

He picked up a red bayberry and said: "In my opinion, let me, who has practiced swordsmanship for two hours, accept your mother's kindness for you."

Zhong Li ate the red bayberry leisurely.

Zhong Yi glared at him angrily, but there was nothing she could do - because he was stronger than herself... This was an indisputable fact for Zhong Yi.

Ah Li came from his grandfather's house when Zhong Yi was five years old.

Zhong Yi still remembered that it was a snowy day. Mother went home to visit her grandma and grandpa a month ago. When it was time to return, father took Zhong Yi to the door to welcome her back. The little brother in black fur got out of the carriage.

At that time, he was wearing a pair of boots that Zhong Yi wanted most when he was five years old.Before the Chinese New Year, Zhong Yi had been pestering her parents for it, but there was only one pair in Quan'an, and it had already been bought by the third young master of the Bai family.

So at that time, Zhong Yi only had his pair of exquisite boots in his eyes. It was not until he led Zhong Yi into the hall that Zhong Yi raised his head and met a pair of dark and bright eyes.

The pair of dark and bright eyes shocked Zhong Yi so much that Zhong Yi couldn't help reaching out his hand to hold him - his hand was very warm and much bigger than Zhong Yi's.

Later, my mother introduced to them that he came from a distant relative of my grandfather's family.

Grandpa's house is in Hecheng. In Zhong Yi's impression, it is close to the Northern Territory and far away from Andu.

Later they entered the study and seemed to be talking about the little brother, and asked Zhong Yi to take him back to the room to rest.

At lunch, Dad said that he was only two years older than Zhong Yi, and about the same age as Zhong Yi, and that they should be brothers.Zhong Yi turned his head to the side, remembering that his eyes were shining at that time.

Daddy helped him name it, Zhongyi is the word for "Yi", so he called it "Li".

Since then, it has been a family.

Ever since she had this "brother Ah Li", Zhong Yi felt a sense of crisis.

When I was a child, Deng Erniang in the kitchen used to say that Zhong Yi was a "little cleverness", but now she said that he was a "little cleverness"!

Zhong Yi expressed dissatisfaction with this, but after he helped Zhong Yi take down the kite hanging high on the tree, rescued the dying little rabbit raised by Zhong Yi, and helped Zhong Yi complete the difficult problems arranged by his master to stump a group of classmates Sometimes, after playing a piece of music proficiently faster than Zhong Yi, Zhong Yi has to admit that he is a little smarter than herself after being praised by her father and so on.

The year before last, a soldier who returned home from the General's Mansion in Fancheng came to Andu, and he was directly invited by King Han to be a guest at King Han's Mansion.

It is said that he is superb in martial arts and swordsmanship, and people in Andu rushed to visit him.

Once by chance, my father went to King Han's mansion to adjust the piano, and got acquainted with him. He said that he was very eloquent, and he also admired Zhong Han, so Zhong Han invited him to their house as a guest.

So on a sunny spring day, Zhong Yi met this bearded soldier, who seemed to be a little older than Zhong Yi's father, who was as strong as a mountain and looked very serious.But he was kind when he spoke to him.

Before he arrived, Zhong Yi had heard from the housekeeper, Old Liu, that he was amazing. Mother whispered to Zhong Yi and Ah Li, "Behave better, behave better, and try to let him teach you two some skills."

During the conversation, Zhong Yi could tell that he liked herself.

The bearded man is very playful when he laughs, the two beards on the top of his mouth are raised high, and his voice is strong: "The young master is really a little jade man..."

When Ah Li suddenly appeared and said the apologetic "I'm late", everything turned upside down.

Zhong Yi stared wide-eyed at the bearded man circling around him, pinched his body, and asked him kindly...

Then, amidst the joyful laughter of his parents, he learned that he fell in love with Ah Li!He is going to accept Ah Li as his apprentice!

Zhong Yi was in a dazed state, frantic in her heart: what about me?

He felt that the little jade crown on his head was getting heavier and heavier, the gorgeous cloth on his body was getting more and more uncomfortable, and the golden boots on his feet were getting more and more eye-catching.

The bearded man still smiled: "Little baby, the sword is so heavy that you might not be able to bear it. The sword has no eyes, if you are hurt by the sword, I will feel sorry for you—" The bearded man put on a show, waved his hands and shook his head again and again, and used his rough hands Rubbing the top of Zhong Yi's head in an attempt to comfort Zhong Yi.

Dad smiled, as if ignoring Zhong Yi's sadness, he talked to Ah Li and the bearded man.Mother brought Zhong Yi over, touched Zhong Yi's head with her hand, and comforted Zhong Yi softly.Call sister Xiaopei and let Zhong Yi go back to her room to play.

Afterwards, she went directly to the kitchen and personally prepared some apprentice banquet for Big Beard and Ali.

No one knew Zhong Yi's pain. After returning to the room, sister Xiao Pei and the others brought the flower field and hurried to the kitchen to prepare the dinner.

Hua Tian's fat body arched wildly in Zhong Yi's arms, and called "Mimi Meow", at this moment, only it understood Zhong Yi's sadness.

Zhong Yi hugged the flower field, feeling depressed in her heart.

Hanada: "Meow——"

It seemed to understand Zhong Yi's heart, and wailed with Zhong Yi for a long time.

When Zhong Yi thought that today's specially dressed body and all-out efforts to be good-looking were no match for Ah Li's body, she pinched her beard a few times and said in a loud voice with a smile, "I'll accept this apprentice!"

The more I think about it, the sadder I become, and the more I think about it, the more wronged I become.

14-year-old Zhong Yi kicked off her golden boots, tore off the jade crown that tightly bound her hair, untied her gorgeous clothes, put on her underwear, rolled on the bed with bare feet, and cried for a long time without being ignored .

Finally a little tired, still no one came.Zhong Yi choked up and thought for a while, that's right, they are all going to help prepare Ah Li's apprentice banquet!

Zhong Yi smoothed Shun Huatian's messy hair, rubbed against it in a daze and fell asleep.
