Peerless luthier

Life is always full of expectations, and today is the first day of school.

The breakfast is very rich, and it's all Zhong Yi's favorite food.

After Zhong Yi wiped out two small steamed buns filled with soup, a bowl of red bean porridge and a boiled egg, he drank another cup of hot soybean milk under his mother's eager eyes.

Mother kept picking up pumpkin pancakes, fried dumplings, and potstickers for Zhong Yi, and the plate that Zhong Yi managed to clear was full again.

While dipping Zhong Yi in vinegar, mother told him: "When you arrive at the academy, you must salute your master and be a polite child."

Zhong Yi ate a steamed dumpling and nodded, "Yes."

The mother gave Zhong Yi a small half of the shortbread: "Be friendly with your classmates, treat others with tolerance, and don't quarrel over trivial matters."

Zhong Yi obediently ate it, nodded: "Yes."

Mother gave Zhong Yi a mouthful of porridge: "You must study hard. Your father said that today you will mainly study small lessons, so you must memorize them."

Zhong Yi swallowed obediently and nodded: "Hi—"

Mother: "..."

Zhong Yi raised her head from the bowl in embarrassment, and met her father's smiling eyes.

Zhong Han turned his head to Yan Hui and said, "Xiaoyi eats too much, let him go to school."

Yan Hui put down the spoon in frustration, and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to feed Zhong Xiaoyi. She raised her eyebrows slightly: "Xiaoyi, go and change your clothes."

Zhong Yi let out a breath: "Then Xiao Yi has gone back to her room."

Zhong Yi fled quickly.

Yan Hui sighed a little: "So soon, Xiaoyi is really going to go to Yunying Academy today, I really want to see what he will look like when he grows up."

Zhong Han laughed and said, "Of course he looks like his father."

Yan Hui turned her head, looked at Zhong Han who was still handsome and gentle, and said with a smile: "If Xiaoyi's temperament follows you, it will be beyond Zhong Yi's expectations."

Zhong Han scooped a large spoonful of porridge for himself, and said, "Who knows, maybe Xiaoyi will become more and more calm and sensible."

Zhong Li slowly bit off the last piece of soft cake, and sighed: "It's too early to be calm and sensible—"

Yan Hui was taken aback: "How?"

Zhong Li curled his lips into a smile, his eyes were bright: "I'll find out later."

Yan Hui and Zhong Han looked at each other, puzzled.

Within a few seconds, the hall rushed back to a familiar figure.

Zhong Yi lay panting on the table.

Yan Hui gave a big jump, put down the bowl and chopsticks: "What's wrong, Xiaoyi?"

Zhong Yi gasped for breath, and reluctantly said: "It's okay... I forgot to bring... the jade badge."

Zhong Han had no choice but to say, "The jade badge is the identity certificate of the students of Yunying Academy. You should keep it on your body carefully and don't lose it."

Zhong Yi obeyed obediently and ran to the room.

After the skillful hands of Niangqin and A Rong, the clothes obviously fit a lot.

The light blue robe and trousers on Zhong Yi's body also set off Zhong Yi's clarity and cleanliness.

Zhong Li folded his arms and leaned against the door to watch Zhong Xiaoyi "scratch her head and pose" in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror.

Yawning deliberately, Zhong Li jokingly said, "Who are you going to go on a blind date with? Could it be that you have a crush on Liu Xiaopang?"

Zhong Yi was startled by him, and also very angry by his words.

These words come from the house-playing games they played when they were young. Zhong Yi was once drawn to be a "bride" and forced to wear a red hijab, and then let Zhong Yi choose a blind date.

Zhong Yi closed her eyes and pointed casually: "It's you!"

There was a sudden burst of laughter in my ears.

Zhong Yi opened his eyes and found Liu Xiaopang standing in front of Zhong Yi with a red face.

Liu Xiaopang blushed and said coyly: "Xiaoyi...I'm so happy, you are...the first...to choose my 'bride', and, Xiaoyi, you...are so beautiful ..."

Zhong Yi: "..."

I can’t remember it clearly later, it must have been a very chaotic scene, because in the end Zhong Yi remembered that he was carried back on the back by Ah Li who just came back from school... It is said that the innocent Liu Xiaopang left a deep impression on him when he bared his teeth. Made an indelible impression...

Ah Li picked up Zhong Yi's backpack and raised his eyebrows: "You're still in a daze, could it be that you've fallen in love with me?" He also glanced back and forth at Zhong Yi seriously: "Tsk tsk, you barely caught my eye."

Zhong Yi sneered: "Hehe."

He clenched his fist and hit him.

Ah Li pretended to shout behind Zhong Yi: "It hurts! It hurts! Xiao Yi, you are so cruel—"

Zhong Yi walked out of the room as if he hadn't heard of it, greeted Hua Tian who had just returned from hunting, and leaned into its ear and said, "If Ah Li goes crazy again, you will cure him!"

Huatian's ears trembled, and the cat's face quickly showed a serious expression: "Meow!"

Zhong Yi stroked its soft fur and walked towards the gate contentedly.

Uncle Ma helped Zhong Yi lead the backpack, and sent Zhong Yi to the carriage: "Young Master, sit still, we'll be there in a while."

Zhong Yi was in a good mood: "Okay, there is Uncle Rauma."

What Zhong Xiaoyi didn't know was that the moment he left the courtyard, Huatian surrendered.

On the carpet in Zhong Xiaoyi's room, Zhong Li squinted and scratched Huatian's neck and chin, and Huatian showed his belly in enjoyment.

Zhong Li smiled and said kindly: "Hua Tian, ​​who will Xiaoyi get close to in the future, you have to remember."

Hanada squinted her cat's eyes and let out a happy "grunt".

Zhong Li continued to smile: "Tell me, will you notify me as soon as possible?"

Huatian immediately opened his eyes wide, and his round and bright eyes were full of loyalty: "Meow!"

Zhong Li smiled satisfied, continued to caress the flower field, and rewarded the flower field with a bag of dried whitebait before leaving.

Zhong Xiaoyi only went to school with an upper-middle level of teaching before, so naturally she has never seen the style of a college.

Today is a sunny day in autumn, the sun came out very early.

The gate of the academy has long been blocked by all kinds of carriages and sedan chairs, and the sounds of bustling people are mixed.

Isn't there only six selected Qinzi?Could it be that the seniors start school together today?

All in all, a lot of people.

Relying on his extraordinary skills, Uncle Ma insisted on sending Zhong Xiaoyi to the academy.

Open the curtain of the carriage, and look at the pavilions, green trees and red flowers in the front hall of the academy, the tall wooden building that is unfamiliar but familiar, and the famous gold plaque hanging on the high gate .

After getting out of the carriage, Zhong Yi became dizzy, looked back at the busy traffic behind her, Zhong Yi couldn't help urging: "Uncle Ma, let's go in."

Uncle Ma wiped his sweat, took Zhong Yi's backpack, and smiled honestly: "Okay, okay."

They walk quickly, with big strides and quick movements.

However, they were "bravely" stopped by a young master who walked in such a hurry.

The young master is tall and thin, with a fair face.He was wearing the uniform of Yunying Academy's master, but the style was different from his father's, so he should have been appointed later.

The young teacher smiled: "I am the teacher of the college, are you the Qinzi who entered Yunying Academy through the selection of the piano master?"

Zhong Yi replied respectfully: "Yes, master."

The young master bent down and looked at Zhong Yi's eyes: "Can you show me your jade plaque?"

Zhong Yi nodded vigorously.

Then he began to rummage through the clothes—for the safety of the jade token, Zhong Yi put it in the inner pocket of the inner clothes.

After the jade tablet was turned out, Zhong Yi respectfully handed it to the young master with both hands.

Zhu Wen took it from Zhong Xiaoyi's tiny palm, and because it was close to her body, the jade tablet already had some warmth.

This kind of temperature can easily soften people who are already soft-hearted.

Zhu Wen checked carefully, and the smile on his face became more gentle: "Zhong Yi?"

Zhong Yi nodded honestly: "Yes."

The young master smiled, and his face looked soft and friendly in the warm sunshine.

He said, "I am your wife, Zhuwen."

Zhong Yi's heart skipped a beat: What a coincidence?When you come here, you meet your own wife?

Zhong Yi thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "Is Master Zhu a banquet-level luthier?"

Zhu Wen smiled and nodded.

Zhong Yi was surprised: "But you look so young, it's amazing."

Zhu Wen tilted his head and said with a smile, "I'm already eighteen this year, and I'm far behind your father, Zhong Han, the carillonist."

Thinking of my father who was only 15 years old when he graduated from Yunying Academy, he was indeed a genius.

But Zhu Wen is also a genius.

Zhong Yi said that the pressure is very high.

Zhu Wen looked at Zhong Yi tenderly, Zhong Yi used to write all the expressions on his face, and felt a little sad at this moment.

Zhu Wen understood: "However, aren't you doing very well now? Maybe in the future, you will be even better than your father and become a court luthier."

Seeing Master Zhu's warm smile, Zhong Yi nodded vigorously: "I will!"

Zhu Wen stood up straight, touched Zhong Xiaoyi's hair, and said to Uncle Ma: "You can take him into the hall of the school, there will be a receptionist there."

He handed Uncle Ma a piece of delicate cardboard paper, on which Zhong Yi's name, enrollment status, school building, school number and the name of his master were simply stated.

Zhong Yi has a good impression of Mrs. Zhu at present, and he waved goodbye to him with a smile on his face, and he also nodded to Zhong Yi with a smile.

The Qinzi who passed the selection test seems to use a dedicated building. The floor is not high, but it is spacious, bright and well-furnished. The floor is polished smooth flat stones. The corridors are scattered with blooming flower bouquets. It seems random but elegant. .Walking through the corridor, the occasional breeze blows on my face, I just feel comfortable and happy.

After walking through the corridor, it is the hall of the school.

There are not many people in the hall, it seems to be a temporary site, surrounded by one or two people asking what.

A staff member in academy uniform asked them briefly, and Zhong Yi took out a hard paper and gave her his jade token.

The steward checked it carefully and handed it back to them, saying: "You can go upstairs now, but except for the students, anyone who is idle must go back."

Uncle Ma chuckled and said to the manager: "Can you accommodate me, it's my young master's first day here..."

The steward's face was icy cold.

Uncle Ma: "..."

Uncle Ma turned his head and said to Zhong Yi: "Young master, then I'll go back and report to Master and Madam."

Zhong Yi nodded: "Will Daddy come back to pick me up after school at noon?"

Uncle Ma slapped his head and smirked: "Look, I forgot, the master is coming to the academy today, and he said this morning that he would pick you up at noon."

Zhong Yi bid farewell to Uncle Ma, and the manager took Zhong Yi upstairs and then went downstairs by himself.

Upstairs is another world, the sun shines on the ground, and the reflection is bright and dazzling.Zhong Yi looked at the green plants while looking at the school.

Well, the school is no different from your school.

Walking forward is the piano room.

Zhong Yi walked in excitedly and found that all the pianos on display were good pianos. Zhong Yi reached out and touched a string, and the simple and smart voice immediately flowed out.

That's really nice.

Zhong Yi walked around happily, and walked back to the stairs, just in time to meet Master Zhu and the five zithers behind him.
