Peerless luthier

Zhong Li opened his eyes.

After a brief period of confusion, his eyes regained clarity.

The wheels of the carriage crushed the distance, and the distance between Andu and Andu became longer and longer.

The cold wind rolled up the curtains of the open car windows, revealing a monotonous color of late autumn.

Zhong Li stared out the window fixedly.

At dawn, Zhong Li woke up, surrounded by the sound of even breathing.

Zhong Yi's warm body was pressed against him tightly, her black hair was scattered on the pillow towel, making her face fair and clean.

Looking at Zhong Yi's innocent sleeping face, he was stunned for a while.

Zhong Li gently retracted Zhong Yi's arm from his waist, and slowly got up to get dressed.

After washing, the bedroom was still dark.Hua Tian curled up into a small furry ball in the cat's litter, Zhong Yi was asleep on his bed, stretched out his hand to stroke Zhong Yi's cheek, and said in his heart: Xiao Yi, goodbye.

He went downstairs with light steps, then closed the door, the door that he was nostalgic for, said goodbye to his parents briefly, and got into the carriage with his luggage.

When the sky slowly brightened, Hanada was hungry.

When Hua Tian scratched the bed, Zhong Yi found that Ah Li had disappeared.

The probe felt the cold temperature beside him.

Ali left? !

He hurriedly got out of bed, his snow-white feet fell on the floor, he was wearing a thin coat and his hair was loose, he was calling upstairs and downstairs while searching, and when he found the missing person, he immediately ran to the door.

The passing servant saw his young master's appearance, and hurriedly asked him to put on his shoes, socks and coat, but Zhong Yi stubbornly ran to the gate.

The empty door.

Zhong Yi stared at the rising sun and the bustling streets.

This morning, to others, was no different from usual, but to him, it was a day that turned the world upside down.

This is their first farewell.

A Rong wrapped the shivering Zhong Yi with a big cloak from behind, and complained: "Young Master, you are too careless, it's such a cold day...Young Master, I left just after dawn..."

Zhong Yi felt bitter in his mouth, and he was led back by Ah Rong.

As he was walking, he looked back - the gate was still empty, and there was no one standing there anymore.

Go back to the room and wash slowly, and stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror to get dressed.Hua Tian ran down from upstairs, the bell jingled, and it circled around the bell, meowing.

Zhong Li glanced at Huatian, and made a gesture of hissing: "Huantian, don't make noise, Ah Li is leaving."

Hua Tian squatted on the ground watching Zhong Yi combing her long black hair, and licking her paws time after time.

When eating in the morning, father and mother calculated Ah Li's itinerary, while Zhong Yi was absent-mindedly eating breakfast.

Zhong Han saw that Zhong Yi's condition was not right, and comforted him: "Xiao Yi, Ah Li is here, and will send a letter back."

Zhong Yi nodded.

Yan Hui encouraged: "Ah Li has gone to such a good school, Xiao Yi has to work harder. I have to hurry up recently. You are going to take the intermediate luthier certificate, right?"

Zhong Li said: "I will study hard and practice the piano."

Since then, life has been the same, yet completely different.

After the academy gave Liu Fu the address of the bookstore, he bought a set of all Zhong Yi's extracurricular books, as if he was planning to make up for it.

Chen Cheng, who was sitting on Zhong Yi's right, pretended to casually glance at what Zhong Yi was doing.

The learning atmosphere gradually became tense, and all nine of them wanted to get the intermediate luthier certificate.

It seems that Zhong Han is also preparing for the palace luthier exam in December, and is gradually getting busy between teaching and studying.

Zhong Yi began to get used to the days when Uncle Ma took him home.

For example, the weather is getting colder, but Ah Li's letter still hasn't been sent back.

The family was waiting, but when they mentioned Ah Li, they tacitly talked about the beauty of Fancheng.

Huatian's hair has lost and grown back, and it is still a little hairball.

……

None of these can conceal the fact that Ah Li left the Zhong family in Andu.

When Zhong Yi went upstairs, Ah Li's room was still in its original state, neatly arranged books on the desk, and wiped dusted weapons - Ah Li's short blade was taken away by him, and the dark blue bed was replaced by Yan Hui's. Light blue, with a bouquet of light colored flowers.

Quiet room, no movement.

Zhong Yi frowned, went downstairs, and went to the small bamboo house.

Playing the piano in the piano room, practicing the war song of the Northern Jin Dynasty that Ah Li likes, my mind drifts away slowly... It seems that I can hear the sound of Ah Li's sword dancing in the courtyard breaking the wind.

He closed his clear eyes.

Time passed in either gloomy, dry, cold, wet, or sunny days.

Zhong Yi successfully obtained the intermediate-level piano teacher certificate, and her grades were among the best in the professional piano skills class of Yunying Academy. After winning the praise of everyone at several piano competitions, Zhong Yi's reputation slowly rose.

Zhong Li's letter arrived on a fine day.

It was written very briefly: "Mother's letter has been delivered, and the second elder has treated me very kindly. Kanyuan Pavilion is well-deserved, so don't read it."

The whole family watched it together, and after watching it, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhong Han smiled and said, "It seems to be safe."

Yan Hui worried: "The study and training at Kan Yuan Pavilion must be tiring. I don't know if Ah Li can get used to it. The weather in the north is cold, so I don't know if he bought some warm clothes."

Zhong Yi came up with an idea: "Why don't you write a letter to Ah Li."

Zhong Han nodded and said: "That's not bad, I'll bring pen, ink and letter paper."

After summing up his opinions, Zhong Han wrote with a brush: "Ah Li, everything is fine at home. Xiaoyi has passed the exam as an intermediate luthier. Mother asked you to buy some warm clothes. Don't catch the cold. The management of Kanyuan Pavilion is strict, and Ah Li must be serious. Work hard, parents believe in your excellence."

The letter from home was sent to Fancheng the next day.

At dinner on the fourth day, the servant said, "My lord, I have a letter."

Zhong Yi quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks and rushed over: "Did it come from Ah Li?"

The servant shook his head and said, "It's not from the young master, it's from Xi Palace."

Xi Gong?

Zhong Yi was a little disappointed.

Zhong Han took the letter, opened it and saw that it was indeed written by Wang He.

Yan Hui said: "What did you write?"

Zhong Han reluctantly said: "I said that I entered the imperial court in Xi Palace and did a paperwork, which is quite relaxed...pleasant."

Yan Hui was silent after hearing this.

Zhong Yi looked at the expressions of his father and mother, not understanding what happened.

Yan Hui's tone seemed a bit cautious: "Have you met Qu Cang...?"

Zhong Han smiled wryly and said, "The paperwork can be big or small, but it just happened... to be assigned to Qu Cang's subordinates."

Yan Hui sighed and said, "Fate tricks people."

Zhong Yi couldn't understand, so after dinner, she said goodbye to her parents and went back to her room to practice the piano.

Now he has habitually practiced the piano, without Zhong Li's company, his hobbies have decreased and increased.

For example, he feels more and more that the sound of the piano can tell his thoughts and mood, and calm him down slowly.

Wang Sanyin seems to be very close to Master Zhu.

Sometimes when get out of class was over, Zhong Yi pestered Master Zhu with a technical question, perhaps delaying their lunch time, and Wang Sanyin, who was standing by, kept freezing Zhong Yi with the air conditioner.

After Zhu Wen finished his gentle explanation, Zhong Yi was almost frozen by Wang Sanyin.

Unknowingly, Zhu Wen smiled and said, "Why don't we have lunch together?"

A cold light flashed across Wang Sanyin's eyes.

Zhong Yi: "Uh..." He quickly waved his hands and shook his head: "No, no, no, no! Uncle Ma took me home for dinner."

Zhu Wen was a little surprised by his reaction, and smiled with a good temper: "Then San Yin and I will go back."

Zhong Yi watched them go with a silly smile.

After walking for a while, Wang Sanyin said calmly, "Why did you invite him?"

Zhu Wen said: "Xiaoyi is cute." He smiled and said, "Don't you think his eyes are very nice to you?"

……

Wang Sanyin pretended to be careless and continued walking, saying, "Where does it look like?"

Zhu Wen smiled and said: "When you were young, you had dark eyes, which were very pretty."

Wang Sanyin glanced at him sideways, but said nothing.

Strange to say.

Perhaps Zhong Yi's grades were envied by others, and the lock on his desk was picked four or five times by others one after another.

Fortunately, when Zhu Wen mentioned this matter once, Wang Sanyin suggested that Zhong Yi bring back important notes and experience, so Zhong Yi's desk only contained some basic general textbooks, and nothing was lost.

It's just that these actions really distressed Zhong Yi.

Zhu Wen knew about this and was also thinking of a way.

Later, Wang San couldn't see it anymore, so he said to Zhu Wen who was in a daze during the meal: "I will find a way."

Zhu Wen said: "Do you know what I'm thinking?"

Wang Sanyin: "..."

Zhu Wen smiled and said: "That's right, San Yin is very careful... But, what are you going to do?"

Wang San was silent because he was eating slowly.

The secrecy work is strict.

I don't know if Wang Sanyin was really helping, but after a few weeks, the lockpicking incident disappeared.

Zhong Yi ran to Zhu Wen's study and said gratefully, "Thank you, Master, for your help."

Zhu Wen was grading homework, confused: "What's the matter?"

Zhong Yi was taken aback, then smiled and said: "Master Zhu, my desk has been safe recently, and there is no inexplicable water on the chair and table to wet my books."

Zhu Wen said: "That's good, but I've been busy lately... Ah, could it be due to casual causes?"

Zhong Yi was stunned again: "What... what? Wang Sanyin helped me?"

Zhu Wen smiled and said: "I talked about your matter at the last meal, and San Yin said that he would find a way to help you solve it. Maybe."

Zhong Yi scratched her head: "Then I have to thank him. Master Zhu, can you thank him for me?"

Zhu Wen said: "I'm not sure either, maybe those people have figured it out. I'll go back and ask."

Zhong Yi said: "Thank you Master, I'm going back to practice the piano."

Zhu Wen nodded: "Go back and look at extracurriculars, and work harder at the end of the semester, which will benefit the comprehensive assessment. After three years, if the grades are good, there is a plan to go to Jinhe City."

Zhong Yi said: "I will try my best."

That night, when Zhu Wen and Wang Sanyin were walking, Zhu Wen said, "Sanyin, Xiaoyi's troubles have been reduced a lot recently."

Wang Sanyin said, "Yes."

Zhu Wen tilted his head and smiled, "Is that you?"

Wang Sanyin also looked sideways at him.

Zhu Wen looked into his eyes and said with a smile: "San Yin really did what he said."

Wang Sanyin withdrew his gaze lightly: "It's just entrusted by others."

Zhu Wen was puzzled: "Entrusted by someone? Who?"

Wang Sanyin looked indifferent: "His brother, Zhong Li."
