Duan Zhishaohua

The place Xin Ruoyuan recommended was a singing and dancing workshop. Although the facade was not very big, the people he met on weekdays were mostly high-ranking officials and nobles.Just looking at the entire Yangzhou City, its name is as hard to find as a stone disappears.

Duan Shaohua understands the intention of Xin Ruoyuan's move, and finds a place for him to save his living expenses, but it is inconspicuous and avoids being suspicious by others.

He only said that his heart is as meticulous as dust, and he is absolutely incomparable.

On the day when I took the piano and went to the Jiaofang, Duan Shaohua was still a little uneasy.Yangzhou and the capital, no matter how far apart they are, he really can't take chances with Prince Jing's mansion.

Before leaving, Duan Shaohua thought over and over again, and finally made up his mind to take a face towel to cover his face, and didn't care whether others would be frightened by this appearance, so he generously took the piano and went out.

Walking along the way, although he attracted a lot of attention, there were very few people who really dared to approach him.Others only looked at him covered with a veil, and the only eyes that were exposed seemed to be lifeless. They were afraid that he had some stubborn illness, and no one cared about him as he walked all the way.

But in the teaching workshop, Duan Shaohua handed over the letter, saying that he was ugly because he was afraid of scaring others, so he couldn't show his true colors to others.

His origin is unknown, and most of his face is covered, which is very strange.The owner of Jiaofang was originally unwilling to use this person, for fear that he would cause some trouble for himself in the future.But he held Xin Ruoyuan's letter in his hand, not for anything else, he had to give the face of Mr. Wuxia.

I was still a bit unhappy at first, but when Duan Shaohua started to play the piano and played a piece of Qingling Kongjue, the owner of the teaching workshop suddenly burst into smiles.Don't look at this man's ugly appearance, but he is pretty good at playing the piano.It's fine to cover your face, anyway, the luthier sees the craftsmanship, and it's not much use to put your face there.

The boss of Jiaofang shouted happily, and Duan Shaohua's errand has since been settled.

After solving a difficult problem in his heart, the boulder fell to the ground, and Duan Shaohua finally had time to catch his breath, which is really light.

After all, Jiaofang is no better than before. In the capital, Shaohua relies on ordinary piano workshops, restaurants and teahouses, or arty places like Xueyulou.But at this moment, it is obviously much more complicated than before.

There is no dancing and writing, and it is no longer arty. It is filled with music, music, singing and dancing.

In the eyes of others, Jiaofang is a serious place of three teachings and nine streams, and the entanglement of singers and dancers is even more complicated.These are things that Duan Shaohua has never come into contact with before.

At first, there was always two points of discomfort, but when other people saw that Duan Shaohua's face was covered with cloth, they might not pay attention to him because of some hidden illness.For a long time, he remained in obscurity, and only managed to complete his job as a luthier, and it was finally settled.

Several times after that, after two months was enough, Duan Shaohua went around for a while, and finally found a house to settle down.In terms of size and comfort, it can't compare with Xinfu, but it is clean and tidy, which is enough in the bustling market.

Duan Shaohua is content with having tiles to cover his head and another job to earn a living.

The only thing I am grateful for is Xinruo Yuan's great kindness, from now on the future will be long, and I only hope that one day he can repay it.

He was still thinking about repaying the kindness in the future, but he didn't think that kindness would accumulate more and more.

After moving to Xinfu, it was only a few days before Duan Shaohua returned to the hut at night, before he entered, he saw a group of servants.

Duan Shaohua was stunned for a moment, but when he saw that he had returned, someone came out when his servant was neutral, with a respectful expression on his face.

After asking, it turned out that these people were all sent by Xin Ruoyuan, and after looking at it again, each servant was carrying a burden in his hand, big or small.

He was only a few days away from Laixin's mansion, but Xin Ruoyuan was worried a lot, so he sent the mansion's servants over, bringing him a lot of things in large and small bags.

As soon as the door was locked, it was full of baggage, which almost took up the remaining vacancy in the house.

Duan Shaohua stared blankly at the pile of baggage like a hill, and immediately wanted to refuse, he still owed Xin Ruoyuan's kindness, how could he bear it now!

But his words of refusal had just begun, someone in the family stopped him, and said: "These are all things that Mr. Duan used when he was still in the house, the young master is just paying them back."

These are not all prepared by Xin Ruoyuan for him, how can they return them.

Duan Shaohua felt more and more sorry, but forgive him for refusing, those servants repeatedly asked him to accept them, and then left after leaving.

After the night was quiet, looking at the house full of everything, it was hard to say in my heart.

From then on, every now and then, Xin Ruoyuan would always send someone to bring over something, and a hut was filled to the brim with Xin Ruoyuan's proposals.

After winter came, on a cold day, Xin Ruoyuan went to Caiqing early in the morning, and sent a bunch of plasters for frostbite. There were many bottles and jars, and they were placed in the house most conspicuously. corner of.

It has always been easy to make icing on the cake, but difficult to deliver charcoal in the snow. What Xin Ruoyuan has done is far better than these.

There was a time when Xin Ruoyuan came to see him in person, what he gave in the greeting was not food and clothing, but a dagger in his hand.

The dagger is small and exquisite, made of pure steel, it is cold and bright, and it feels more delicate in the hand.

Xin Ruoyuan said: "Things in the outside world are complicated, and there will inevitably be unexpected disasters. It's good to hold an iron weapon for self-defense."

Duan Shaohua has never used a dagger before, but the heavy weight in his hand is not the weight of a dagger at all.

In the end, Xin Ruoyuan had to watch Duan Shaohua accept it personally before Xin Ruoyuan left with peace of mind.

In the past year, he has taken care of him carefully, and arranged everything for him every month in spring, summer, autumn and winter.Duan Shaohua is not a heartless person, he is grateful to Xin Ruoyuan for what he has done, and moved him to take care of him on a daily basis. I am afraid that he does not know when he will repay this great kindness.

Before the heavy snow fell, it was cold for nine days, and the chill all over the sky was pressing on people.The colder you get, the more lazy you become. If there is no serious matter, you don't want to step out of the house at all, so as not to freeze your hands and feet.

In the teaching workshop, Duan Shaohua also had the same thoughts.The brazier was burning warmly, and he didn't want to leave for a moment.

It happened to be the most comfortable time, when there was a strong wind and heavy snow, the door was slammed open, and a gust of wind rushed in. I saw a person rushing in, and the tightly wrapped winter clothes were covered with heavy snow.

"Hurry up." The man yelled, covering his head and face, and breathed out impatiently, "But there is a nobleman here, and his hands and feet are neater, so pack it up quickly, why are you being lazy!"

When he shouted, the people in the room were sitting and lying down, singing and dancing, and they all fell silent for a moment, they could only listen to their boss shouting.

No one wants to go out in the winter, but the boss has spoken, and they can't be idle now that they have accepted the job.

Rifling boxes and cabinets, dressing up beautiful clothes, is always a big preparation.As soon as he opened the door, the warmth from the brazier disappeared instantly, and his heart was full of complaints, but his mouth still responded.

Duan Shaohua hugged the piano, covered his face, and only lowered his head, followed at the end of the team.

Sometimes when the singing is clear and the beauty is dancing, the luthier seems not so important.

The wind and snow kept coming, rustling all over people's faces.Duan Shaohua raised his hand and brushed his face, the face towel was cold and stiff, it was uncomfortable to cover it, as if it had been covered with ice dross.

A heavy layer of snow fell on the street, and the carriage couldn't go fast, and it took only a quarter of an hour to cover that distance.The boss was obviously in a hurry, but no matter how much he scolded the horse, he couldn't understand people's words. The journey dragged on for half an hour, and he just listened to the boss get angry along the way.

After getting out of the car, Duan Shaohua looked at another big house.

But if it's just an ordinary high-ranking official, the boss can't be so anxious, thinking that there is some important person hiding in the house.

It's just that Duan Shaohua can't help thinking about it, the boss is already in a hurry, and he has to go to the house early.

Duan Shaohua hurriedly accepted that thought, all he had to do was to be a hidden luthier as usual, even if the emperor came in person, it had nothing to do with him.

Following the crowd into the mansion, the more I walked, the colder I felt.It sounded like the housekeeper of the mansion came to greet him, and the boss urged him again, Duan Shaohua was already confused, and could only follow the person in front.

When a burst of warmth hit the body, everyone was relieved.

No need to look, it's like this, the house must be hosting a banquet, or a family banquet, or a banquet for guests.After a while, the songs will start together, and the sound of silk and bamboo.

The boss must be busy discussing with the master, Duan Shaohua looked around and finally found a bead curtain in the hall.It has become a habit, he covers his face with a black cloth, for fear of making others flustered, it is better to keep out of sight.

Duan Shaohua spontaneously sat behind the bead curtain, took off the piano, and tried the crisp sound twice.

After waiting for about a moment, the bead curtain was lifted, and the boss leaned forward and told the song, waiting for the singing and dancing to be peaceful.

With a flick of ten fingers, Lin Lang made a crisp sound, slowly spreading across the room.

The sleeves of the neon clothes are dancing, and the pleated skirts are twirling lightly, competing for beauty, like a hundred flowers blooming together.

There was the sound of cups and cups interlacing, and the sound of falling on the table, mixed with hearty laughter.

Duan Shaohua's mind is all on the piano, he occasionally raises his eyes, and everything he sees is bright and dancing.

He seemed to be sitting closer, or maybe the main seat was talking too loudly.If you listen carefully, it will be very clear.

Like the master, his voice became more cautious after laughing, and he asked vigorously, "Are you satisfied, sir? Although it is not the top of Yangzhou City, everything is according to your orders."

It fell into Duan Shaohua's ears, thinking that this is the case, and indeed a high-ranking official has come.

Duan Shaohua didn't hear the senior official say whether he was satisfied or not, all he could hear was the dry laughter from the chief who kept flattering him.

He lowered his head even more, using [-] points of caution.

And then, the unexpected came, but he couldn't help but mess up his mind.

"I watch the singing and dancing on a regular basis, and I can't find anything strange about it. It's just that I haven't heard such a good piano sound for a long time."

As the words of praise came out, Duan Shaohua passed by, and there was a black corner of his clothes.

With such a sound in my ears, Duan Shaohua almost lost his breath, his heartbeat suddenly lost speed, numbness started from the soles of his feet to his whole body.He was so shocked he couldn't react.

He is familiar, and what is more, he will never forget it in his life. The only thing entangled with him is fear, and he wants to escape desperately.

The body was so frightened that it was cold, and he made a few wrong sounds with his fingers, which only made the boss of Jiaofang change his face suddenly.He couldn't be grandiose, he could only wink at him fiercely through a bead curtain.

The voice continued, like a sigh, but there was a fierce taste in the words, "Once upon a time, there was a violinist in my house, who was beautiful and natural, unworldly, and his piano skills were even more outstanding."

Duan Shaohua's qin can no longer be played, only fingers are moving mechanically, but they are playing nondescriptly, I don't know which dynasty or generation the qin music is from.

There was a problem with the sound of the piano, it was harsh and unpleasant, and the dancers were extremely embarrassed. This was the first time this happened, and I didn't know whether to stop or continue.
