Peerless luthier

Following the experience of "being abducted" last time, Zhong Yi earnestly refused Ah Li's so-called "take you to play."

He's not a monkey, so could it be possible for Ah Li to play tricks every day?

Zhong Yi hugged the flower field with a piece of sweet grass in her mouth, and looked sympathetically at Ah Li who was still struggling in front of the desk.

——It seems that learning is indeed made by people.

The lotus flowers in summer slowly fade away, the sweet-scented osmanthus trees in autumn emit a faint fragrance, some of the trees change color, and the maple trees in front of the door are slowly becoming more beautiful.

School will start tomorrow, father let Zhong Yi only practice a few pieces like never before, and then let Zhong Yi play.

This afternoon, just as Zhong Yi came out of Ah Li's study boringly, Dad came back from Yunying Academy and brought back Zhong Yi's academy costumes - a total of three sets, light blue robes embroidered with simple and elegant The cloud pattern, the color of the trousers and the robe match each other, and the texture of the clothes is soft.

Zhong Yi looked around, but found no shoes, probably wearing her own.

Mother touched it and said with a smile: "As expected of Yunying Academy, the material of these cloths is very good."

Zhong Yi couldn't wait to try it on, but found that the sleeves were too long and the trousers were not a little wider.

Zhong Li looked up from the book, stretched his waist, and found that there was no one on the cool couch in front of him.

When did you sneak out?

Zhong Li walked out, watching Hua Tian curled up in a ball at the door.

Zhong Li squatted down and looked at Huatian's strange cat-like sleeping face with eyes closed and mouth open, amused.

Hua Tian felt that his body was being touched very gently, it moved its little pink nose, and smelled Zhong Li's scent.

Zhong Li asked, "Where's Xiaoyi?"

Huatian lazily opened his mouth and yawned, stretched out his snow-white right paw and pointed to Zhong Hanyanhui's courtyard.

Zhong Li patted its head: "Good boy."

Before he reached Yanhui's door, he heard laughter inside, walked in and took a look: the awkward Zhong Xiaoyi was blushing and wearing a light blue dress that was one size too big, and her whole figure seemed to be stuck in the clothes.

A Rong asked Zhong Yi to take it off: "Young master, just change it for you, A Rong."

Zhong Yi tried her best to reach out from her long sleeves and grabbed the pants that were about to fall, in a panic.

Ah Li came in from the door, stood with arms crossed, and teased Zhong Yi: "Short."

Zhong Yi hummed twice, but remained silent.

Mother comforted Zhong Yi: "Xiao Yi will grow taller."

Dad laughed: "In a few years, if Xiaoyi can be as tall as Ah Li is now, it will be almost the same."

Zhong Yi: "..."

Zhong Yi hates this topic.

There is a head gap between the 14-year-old him and the 16-year-old Ah Li, which must be caused by him snatching his chicken legs every day!

Zhong Yi let his mother and A Rong compare him.

Mother finally said: "Okay, take off your clothes."

Zhong Yi was finally relieved, and dragged Ah Li to run outside.

Zhong Han shook his head and said with a smile, "This child."

Yan Hui pursed her lips and smiled, her appearance was sweet and beautiful: "When I think of Xiaoyi being so competitive, I can't stop being happy."

A Rong echoed excitedly while sewing: "I met an acquaintance when I went shopping for vegetables today, and they all praised the young master for his talent!"

The three laughed, and Zhong Han slapped his head: "Oh, Huier, I forgot."

Yan Hui was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Zhong Han said embarrassingly, "Han Wangye is coming tonight, and he said he is going to give the children a gift for the beginning of school."

A Rong quickly put down the scissors: "Oh, then I'll ask Deng Erniang and the others to prepare to go now."

Yan Hui coquettishly said, "Look at your memory."

Zhong Han smiled embarrassedly: "Also, Fu Wu said he would come tonight too..."

When Yan Hui heard this, her beautiful eyes widened, and she quickly chased after A Rong's leaving back and shouted, "A Rong, ask the kitchen to make a big bowl of braised pork and a big plate of fish steak!"

Ah Rong responded: "Got it, ma'am!" She hurriedly ran to the kitchen with her skirt in hand.

The news that Lord Han is coming tonight reached Zhong Yi's ears instantly.

Of course, the point is that Prince Han is going to give them a gift - what will it be?Last time he got a snack box from the Western Regions, and Ah Li was given a very handsome scabbard with intricate patterns and a gorgeous sword tassel. In the past, Prince Han also sent fresh toys brought back from Kyoto and passed on from Beiqi. pocket knife.

It makes my heart itch when I think of the small knife clock, which is studded with sparkling diamonds, and there is a huge ruby ​​on the handle—but my mother said that the blade of the knife is too fast, and I am afraid of hurting people, so I asked my father to help put it away. Woke up.

Hey, it seems to touch that knife again...

Speaking of Prince Han, Zhong Yi couldn't help but think of his pretty face, ahem, no, no, no, he didn't think about anything.

Prince Han is a frequent visitor to their house, and has always had a good relationship with his father.Even so, he is a prince after all, so every time before he comes, the servants at home are busy.

Just as he was thinking, Hua Tian's cat meowed suddenly.

Zhong Yi hurriedly leaned on the window to look into the courtyard, only to find that Ah Li was dancing his sword "shua, shua, shua". The man who broke the wind heard Zhong Yi startled, but Zhong Yi couldn't take his eyes away from his flexible and upright figure. .

Just when Zhong Yi was staring at him in a daze, he suddenly turned around, and the long blade of the sword shone brightly and coldly.Looking at each other, he winked at Zhong Yi, smiled, and then danced his sword again.

Hmph, although Zhong Yi is not as good as Ah Li in this aspect, at least he won't practice in a hurry just because the teacher is coming. (Ah Li has been reading for so many days, of course the time for sword practice has been reduced a lot.)

Thinking of this, he was in a good mood, happily picked up the flower field rolling around under the crabapple flowers, and entered the house with his tail up.

At night, five newly bought table lamps were lit in the flower hall. This is the most popular "lotus lamp" in the market recently. Its shape is similar to that of a red lotus. A layer of soft and bright pink light, at the same time, the soft and soft lights will quietly emit a faint charming fragrance, which adds a bit of warmth to the quietness of autumn nights.

At this moment, the servants had already left, and only a few servant girls were by the door.

The delicious food on the dinner table made Hua Tian very uncontrollable. Of course, as its owner, Zhong Yi "responsibly" pinched its snow-white cat's paw—ahem, because if he wanted to pick it, he would definitely pick him. My favorite steamed whitebait...

At the same time, Ah Li also freshened up, and sat at the table pretending to purse his lips in silence, as if he was thinking about something with his eyes down.

Under the soft light, Zhong Li's side face was slightly handsome.

The small sample must be the mental method taught before silently carrying the beard.

Zhong Yi gloated and turned her head away, and continued to stare at the door. Both father and mother went to the door to pick up Lord Han and Beard, and they would arrive at the flower hall soon.

The petals of the lotus cup trembled slightly in an imperceptible autumn wind, and a small smear of ashes fell.

Dad's pleasant laughter came - he guessed that it must be the arrival of Prince Han.

Zhong Yi rushed to the door of the flower hall with a big leap, probably because of too fast speed and too much force, Zhong Yi directly bumped into an embrace with a faint fragrance of agarwood.

The usual steady magnetic voice sounded above Zhong Yi's head, mixed with a smile: "Xiao Yi, where are you going?"

Zhong Yi blushed quickly: "Uh..."

Zhong Han smiled and pulled Zhong Xiaoyi, whose head was buried in Han Yi's arms, over, stroking his soft black hair in his arms, and said with a smile, "Where are you looking for Daddy? Daddy is here."

Zhong Yi nodded vigorously, raised her head, opened her eyes, and slightly pursed her lips, trying her best to look cute.

Zhong Han liked Zhong Xiaoyi's appearance very much, so he smiled gently.

Han Yi looked at Zhong Han and curled his lips slightly.

Zhong Li sat on his seat, squinting his eyes to observe the smile on Lord Han's lips, and remained motionless.

After a while, Yan Hui brought Fu Wu, who was already holding a large plate of beef slices and smiling very contentedly, to the flower hall.

Hua Tian, ​​who was dozing off on the carpet, suddenly felt unbalanced: Meow, why does he have something to eat as soon as he arrives? ! !

So Hanada jumped at the bearded man immediately.

"Yoho! This cat!"

"Meow!"

Yan Hui was startled, saw the cat's shadow clearly, and helplessly reprimanded: "Hua Tian, ​​don't make trouble."

Big Beard fed it a few large slices of beef, looked at the "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" eating, and said, "Hey, this cat can eat it, it's amazing."

The bearded man looked in amazement at the flower field that seemed to have been hungry for a month.

Since then, Big Beard has formed an indissoluble bond with Zhongyi's Huatian—maybe what he appreciates is Huatian's edible and unrestrained eating style...

Ah Li said hello to the bearded man.

The bearded man patted Ah Li on the shoulder, laughed and said, "Long time no see, show master some tricks."

The corner of Zhong Yi's mouth twitched, playing a few tricks...

Ali nodded and walked out.

It seems that there is still some curative effect in temporarily hugging Buddha's feet. The sword light is cold, and the movements are sharp and coherent, and they are done in one go.

The bearded man nodded in satisfaction, and stepped forward to give pointers.

It seems that Ali has passed the test.

Finally seated, Prince Han sat at the head, bearded, father, mother, Ah Li, and Zhong Yi sat down one by one, and Zhong Yi sat beside Prince Han happily at the round table.

Dinner is ready, and Zhong Yi's favorite moment will come.

After a while, Prince Han put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "First of all, I would like to congratulate Xiaoyi for going to Yunying Academy."

Both Zhong Han and Yan Hui couldn't help showing pleasant smiles on Zhong Yi's face, smiling and nodding, eyes sparkling, looking forward to his next words.

Sure enough—Han Wangye smiled slightly at his father: "In the future, Xiaoyi will be better than blue."

He clapped his hands, and the emerald ring on his slender index finger looked gorgeous under the soft light.

Lord Han's personal guard entered from outside the door, bowed his head, and handed Han Yi a boxy, wide, flat black wooden box respectfully.

Zhong Yi looked at the wooden box curiously.

Han Yi took it, held the wooden box with his right hand, unfastened the jade buckle with his left hand, and opened it facing Zhong Yi.

What was displayed in front of Zhong Yi was a neatly arranged set of pen, ink and inkstone with a black velvet backing.It had a color similar to that of the ink-colored wooden box, with a quaint luster. Then, Zhong Yi sniffed, smelling a faint scent of ink.

Zhong Han inadvertently saw the mark on the flannel, and involuntarily gasped.Looking up at Han Yi, "Why did you give me such a valuable thing?"

Han Yi turned his head, curled his lips into a smile, and said to Zhong Han, "Where it's valuable, the one for Xiaoyi must be a good one."

Later, Lord Han also gave Zhong Li a wooden box, but he asked Ah Li to take it home for viewing.

In the evening, Zhong Yi was practicing the piano, and when she saw Ah Li walking up after taking a bath, she asked, "A Li, what did Prince Han give you, so mysterious?"

Ah Li wiped his hair, smiling triumphantly: "It's a sword manual, used by senior soldiers in the Fancheng army in the north."

Zhong Yi took a deep breath: "No way..."

Ah Li just smiled and said nothing.
