In early spring, the magnolias were in full bloom, and I was sitting on the porch looking at the book in my hand.There was a breeze blowing over, bringing a little fragrance of flowers, I asked the little boy to pick one and put it in the house.

There was a commotion at the door, and the boy came over and told me that Adjutant Zhang was here.

"Please come in," I entered the room, closed the book and put it on the table, waiting for someone to come.

"Say hello to Boss Qin." Adjutant Zhang was always polite, and he bowed slightly as soon as he entered the door, "Are you still used to it?"

I smiled: "Where there is good or bad, you have to get used to it if you are not used to it."

I was too lazy to dwell on this matter, and said again: "Adjutant, what's the matter here?"

Adjutant Zhang said: "Master Jun took in a new guy yesterday, he can play, let me send it over."

Saying that, let out a child from behind.This child is about eight or nine years old, with delicate features like a little girl, and with a timid look, holding a piano in his hand.I glanced at the head of the piano, hey, the top-quality piano is still imitated with a burnt tail.

I'm a little surprised, but it's okay to take this one?

"I fell in love with it at the tea party yesterday, so I sent you here directly. The military master told me to adjust it carefully, so I haven't..." Adjutant Zhang said.I raised my hand and stopped his words: "This has nothing to do with me."

I looked the child up and down, and said to Adjutant Zhang, "What name did you give the child?"

"Not up yet," Adjutant Zhang said, "Master Jun said to ask Lord Qin to make a decision."

I raised my eyebrows. Over the years, he has not let me "make up my own mind" for a few things, not to mention that he is a new recruit, which is really strange.

"Zhen Shu," I thought for a while and said, "The words are clear and polite. This child has a hard life, so let's call him an auspicious name."

"Boss Qin's name is not bad." Adjutant Zhang said in his heart, no one who is favored by the military master these days would dare to say that his life is hard, that is, Qin Xian'er in front of him, Boss Qin... Hey, don't mention it Well, confused account.

Adjutant Zhang added: "Master Qin, Mr. Jun is also outside, he didn't come in."

"Oh," I looked at the child again, and replied casually, "Today, the kitchen made new snacks, please ask the adjutant to take them out later."

Adjutant Zhang sighed inwardly, and bowed: "Then I won't bother you."

I thought of one thing, and chased after him: "Adjutant."

Adjutant Zhang turned around.

"If there is anything in the future, you won't send it to me, right? I have no place here."

Adjutant Zhang smiled wryly: "No way, it's just that Lord Jun sees this child well and wants to send it to Boss Qin as a companion."

"Oh," I reassured, "That's good."

I waved to the child: "Come here, let me see."

The child hugged the piano and rubbed it over step by step, obviously a little afraid of me.After finally getting in front of me, he snorted like a mosquito, "I've met Boss Qin."

I looked at the child's pale face and said, "From today onwards, your name will be Zhenshu."

The child blessed me: "Yes."

I frowned, grabbed his arm and said, "Men don't learn to be coy like this."

I paused, and said in a slow tone: "I can also play this piano twice. Since you live here, I have to teach you. From now on, you can call me Master. Only one, don't let those warblers outside fly away." Bring in Yan Wu's things."

Zhenshu didn't bless her body any more, she just looked at me and nodded: "Thank you, Master."

I looked into the child's eyes, which were clear and translucent, and felt sorry.If you don't want to be a luthier, it would be nice to be a son of a rich family.

Zhenshu said: "Master Jun said, Master is a national player. It is a great blessing to be able to teach me a thing or two."

I was silent, is there a difference between a national player and a trick?

"That's not what fortune says." I reached out and pinned his fallen bangs behind his ears, "Go down, pack up and come see me again."

Zhenshu nodded, walked two steps and then turned back, timidly said: "Master, you are so pretty."

I smiled, the most useless thing about people is their looks.

I got up and patted his head, and led him to the west wing.

This courtyard is a small courtyard with one entrance. The main house is on the north side, and there are two wing rooms on the left and right sides, and the inverted room where the servants live on the south side.

I live in the East Wing, and Zhenshu lives in the West Wing.As for the main house on the north side, that room is too big, I don't like it, so I keep it as a living room.

Zhenshu is a very well-behaved child, she fell asleep without making any noise when she returned to the house, and did not recognize the bed at all.

I stood with my hands folded under the porch of the East Wing, staring at the lantern opposite me in a trance.The little boy stood with me for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Master Qin, what do you mean by Mr. Jun? You are not allowed to go out and sent someone in?"

I turned my head back and said, "I don't think I'm as worried as my old lady. Be careful that you won't be able to get your tongue back. Go back and boil the water."

The little boy stuck out his tongue and ran away.

What does he think has nothing to do with me.

I always get up early, and just after dawn the next day, I wandered around the yard.Today I made an exception and didn't practice the piano in the morning, because I was afraid of disturbing Zhenshu.

I usually practice piano in the east chamber at this point, and suddenly I feel a little idle when I am free.

Mother He from the kitchen walked across the yard with the vegetables, and greeted me with a smile: "Mr. Qin, why didn't you play the piano today? How can you wear such thin clothes?"

"The child is still asleep," I pointed to the west wing opposite, "make something hot and soft in the morning, and add an egg."

Mother He smiled: "Remember, it's rare that Master Qin cares about this child so much."

I also smiled and waved my hand, letting Mama He do the work.They are all the same people, but this child is more miserable.

I turned to the main room, unexpectedly Zhen Shu was already waiting for me, saw me come in and bowed politely, and said softly, "Master is good."

I reached out my hand to signal him to get up, sat casually on the side chair and said, "It's so early, when did you wake up?"

"Those who taught in the music workshop started at Yinshi."

That was a long wait.

"In the future, you don't need to be so early, just follow me from Maoshi. Otherwise, you won't grow up."

Zhenshu smiled slightly: "Master is so kind."

It happened that the servants came in and passed on the news, saying that the meal was ready.I patted his little head and led him to the front hall.From his voice to his character, this child is soft and has a good appearance. I'm afraid he will take a dangerous road in the future.Now that I have met him, I cannot teach him to do this.

I arranged for Zhenshu to learn the piano in the morning and the book in the afternoon, all taught by me, a half-assed child.When I am free at night, I will be led around the street by Cheng Ma.If I can't get out, I can't arrest the child, can I?

Half a month has passed, and the days are peaceful, and I am happy to have someone to talk with me.

One night, Zhenshu and I had just finished eating when there was a whistle at the door.

Don't even think about it, you know it's the one who's coming.That's right, there is still a child with me, so it's always inappropriate not to take a look.

"Master," Zhenshu grabbed the corner of my clothes and hid behind me, "Zhenshu is afraid."

I took Zhenshu's hand and stood on the porch of the main room: "Don't be afraid, Master is here."

Mo Qi wore a black cloak and flung it behind her in a majestic manner, bringing the smoke from the street into the yard and reducing the fragrance of magnolia.He walked into the yard, stopped under the steps of the main house, and looked up at us.

Zhenshu hurriedly bowed to him politely: "Zhenshu has met Junye." After that, he didn't dare to hold me by the hand.

I picked up my hands and looked at the magnolia in the yard.

"Are you used to living there?" Mo Qi asked.I don't know who I'm asking.

I didn't speak, and the yard was silent for a moment.Zhen Shu hurriedly said, "I live very well, and Master takes good care of me."

"Are you Master Qin's apprentice?" Mo Qi said, walking up the steps.I copied my hands, lowered my head slightly and stepped aside, letting Mo Qi enter the room.

Mo Qi stopped at the door of the house and said to me: "Qin Xian'er."

I bowed my head and remained motionless.Mo Qi, aren't you tired?

Mo Qi had no choice but to drag Zhenshu into the room, and sat on the main seat in front of the hall, facing the gate.

I sat cross-legged on the bottom seat on the side, staring at the magnolia flowers outside.It was getting dark, and the shadows of flowers could not be seen clearly.

Mo Qi said: "Zhen Shu, what have you learned from Master Qin? Play a tune."

Zhenshu agreed, and went to the west chamber to hold the piano.Put it on the long table in the middle of the hall, and start playing "Qi Ao".

"Zhenshu," I stopped him, "change to "Youlan"."

Mo Qi glanced at me and said nothing.

Zhenshu is a very sensible child, after playing one song, no one speaks, and then plays another one.In short, avoid those with hidden meanings.

Mo Qi listened to several songs, and Fang said: "I have made progress, and I will study hard with your master."

Zhenshu got up and saluted: "Remember the teaching of the military master."

Mo Qi looked at him and said, "I'm staying in the West Wing tonight, you go get ready." The words were put down, but the person didn't move.

test me.

I didn't want to talk to him too much, and I didn't look at him, so I stood up and pulled Zhenshu over.

"I bought him." Mo Qi's voice came from behind the two of us, saying meaningfully.

I turn around.

"So the person is mine." Mo Qi walked over a few steps.

I was tired of his appearance, so I walked out with Zhenshu.

I didn't want Mo Qi to come up to pull me, so I slammed him away.

"Qin Xian'er." Mo Qi said in a deep voice.Zhen Shu next to her was so frightened that she took a few steps back and hid on the other side of the door.

There was faint anger in Mo Qi's eyes, and I knew that under such circumstances, he would lose his temper immediately.

So I rushed ahead of him: "Give me another mouth?"

Mo Qi was stunned for a moment.

I hooked the corners of my mouth indifferently, walked around him to hold Zhenshu, and sent him back to the west chamber.

As the door of the East Wing closed, I heard the whistle sound again.It's good, and it can be solid for another two months.

Later, during piano practice, "Qi Ao" was practiced again. Zhenshu played a few times, hesitated for a while, and then leaned over to me and asked, "Master...why didn't you let me play that time?"

I looked at him: "What is this song about?"

"Gentleman." Zhen Shu remembered clearly.

I didn't go on and let him think for himself.

"Does Master dislike Jun Ye very much?" Zhenshu pulled my clothes again, and I found that the child would pull my clothes from the corner to the sleeves when he was nervous.

I was dragged by him, thought for a while and said, "Yes."

Zhenshu pursed her lips and whispered in my ear, "Me too."

We both laughed, it felt so good to speak ill of people behind their backs.

"Mr. Jun is very fierce. When he talks, the surroundings are icy. It's not good at all." Zhenshu started to play with the button on my sleeve, "Master, why doesn't Mr. Jun let you go out?"

I was stunned, as if a string had been plucked in my heart, an indescribable astringency overflowed from my chest, making my mouth bitter.

Zhenshu saw that my expression was wrong, so she took a few steps back, bowed to the bottom and said: "Zhenshu knows that I'm wrong, please punish me, Master."

I came back to my senses and reached out to help him: "Get up quickly, it's none of your business."

Zhenshu didn't dare to say anything more, so she sat down across from me and started to practice the tune.

Zhan Biqiao, green bamboo is like a bamboo.

One afternoon when the sun was shining, I was playing the piano in the yard, and Zhenshu was reading a book by the side, and making tea on another table by the way.

Zhenshu likes to drink Tieguanyin very much, so I specially asked someone to buy a high-quality one for this reason, and keep it at home.

I once asked him why he didn't like fruit juice and sweet drinks when he was young, but he liked drinking tea instead?

Like a grown-up, Zhenshu smiled mysteriously but blushed a little: "The luthier doesn't drink by himself, he drinks tea."

I almost choked out with a mouthful of white water, and slapped the book in my hand on his head: "Who did you learn from!"

Zhenshu covered her head and hid: "Mother He heard it when she took me to the street."

I patted him on the back with the book again: "Study in a mess!"

Zhenshu didn't hide this time, and looked at me with a smile in his eyes: "But Tieguanyin is really delicious and fragrant. Thank you, Master."

After a while he asked again, "Why doesn't Master ever drink tea?"

I froze for a moment, recalled some old things and said, "Master doesn't like to drink."

Mo Qi came a few more times later, and each time she listened to Zhenshu playing the piano, she left.I just sat in the East Wing and watched from a distance.

In the blink of an eye, it was June, and Mo Qi came more frequently than I expected, and appeared at the gate of the small courtyard again.

Mo Qi seemed to be drunk and did not follow Adjutant Zhang. He was alone in the courtyard and no one would let him pass.

I settled Zhenshu to the West Wing, and stood on the porch of the East Wing with my hands folded, looking at him coldly.

All the people in the courtyard were screened off by me, and I saved them from watching what they shouldn't, and caused disasters for nothing.

As for me?Whether it should be seen or not I can't go.

He sat on a stone bench in the yard, held a wine bottle in his hand, and slammed it on the table vigorously.

I didn't speak, just watched him go crazy with alcohol calmly.

In fact, Mo Qi's wine quality has always been pretty good, and when she's drunk, she'll lie down quietly, holding hands with people at most, and basically not talking.I didn't expect to see a western scene here.

He stood up unsteadily and walked towards my east chamber.

I get it, and I'll do it again.I went back to the house and took something in my hand, ready to deal with him later.

"Qin Xian'er," he stood at the bottom of the steps in the East Wing and looked at me, his voice was not loud, "What do you want me to do?"

I'm so happy, you locked me up and asked me, I'm really wronged.

"See if the military master is happy." I said lightly.

He frowned, and put the wine bottle in his hand on the chair in the east corridor.

Without thinking, I picked it up and threw it out.

The glass made a very harsh and crisp sound at night, which probably disturbed the neighbors.I apologized silently in my heart, and asked Mother He to send some snacks to the neighbors tomorrow to make amends.

"It's been half a year, you really don't want me to touch this east chamber." Mo Qi's tone began to be bad.

I looked at him irritably: "I'm too lazy to repeat."

Mo Qi's voice rose all of a sudden: "Then I'd be happy to touch this East Wing today." Then, he stepped on the steps of the East Wing.

I pulled out the knife in my hand without hesitation, Mo Qi was unguarded, and pointed the knife point at his throat.

I am very satisfied, such a long time of preparation is not in vain.

"Get lost." I didn't even bother to say another word.

Mo Qi held the tip of my knife with her fingers, and gestured up and down in front of the throat, her voice was wild and disorganized: "If you go a little further, you will have your revenge. Think about your master, don't you?" .”

Several faces suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and they were getting farther and farther away from me. I tried my best to reach out, but I couldn't catch anything.

Father, sir, I can't keep anyone.

I can't see Mr. for the last time, it's all because...

My head suddenly hurt like crazy, as if a steel needle was poking straight in, stirring in my brain.I covered my head with my non-knife hand, screaming uncontrollably, and the world in front of me began to spin.

In a trance, I saw that Mo Qi was about to rush up the steps and was talking to me loudly.

No, let him come up.

That's my only thought.I scratched my palm a few times with the knife, and my mind barely cleared up a little.I pointed the bloody knife edge at Mo Qi, and I can't remember what I yelled, but the general idea was to tell him to get out of here.

Mo Qi seemed to be sober and frightened, he backed away, and then I couldn't see.

In a daze, it seemed that Zhenshu helped me up: "...Master..." I heard intermittently, "... I'm gone... I won't come..."

I finally breathed a sigh of relief and passed out in relief.
