Loyal heart travels a long way

Although occasionally being fed as a rabbit by Chu Dancheng, generally speaking, Gu Zhiyao's life is very comfortable these days.

Once you feel at ease, your whole face will be full of joy, you will walk briskly in everything you do, and you can't wait to hum a little song.

Gu Zhiyao doesn't like to listen to operas or tunes. For so many years, the tune he hums over and over again is always the same. Aunt Gu taught him when he was young. It's soft and long, what are the words? I can't remember it anymore, I just remember this tune.Hum when you are in a good mood, and the whole person will feel happier.

Chu Dancheng had long wanted to find a singer of the Xiapi generation, or a master of an opera troupe, and ask Gu Zhiyao what it was he was humming.No matter what An Rumeng becomes in the end, being stubborn is always thinking about Aunt Gu's good. When he was young, in a place like the Song Mansion, it was always Aunt Gu and Sun Yat-sen who could give Gu Zhiyao warmth. mother.Mother Sun has a good place to go, and Gu Zhiyao can rest assured with Chu Lin, but Aunt Gu has been dead for many years, and it is impossible to see her again. He wants Gu Zhiyao to listen to this song again, which is regarded as Gu Zhiyao's incomplete childhood Time is a consolation.

However, what Aunt Gu is humming, Chu Dancheng has never heard it with his own ears. When he first saw Gu Zhiyao, Aunt Gu had passed away for more than a year, and whether the song has changed again after Gu Zhiyao said it is even more important. Unknown.

Dazhou mountains and rivers stretch for thousands of miles, rivers, lakes and seas are countless, and only one land boundary is known. It is not easy to find a song. After so many years, Chu Dancheng has never heard a master who sings a song. through a similar tone.

When I heard this song again, it was the third day that Gu Zhiyao had just led the army and went out for an expedition.

At that time Chu Dancheng was full of satisfaction except for the official business in the court, he was thinking about Gu Zhiyao, he was a little dazed, he couldn't put other things on his mind.

Going to the battlefield to lead troops to fight is no better than anything else, it is good to be able to come back with the whole body, if you want to not get hurt, it is very unlikely, Chu Dancheng closed his eyes and it looked like Gu Zhiyao was injured, he didn't know what to eat, and he was down After the value, he sat in the carriage and lost his mind.

He doesn't speak, and it's even more impossible for Chu Qingfeng to speak. That guy is a boring person. If no one pays attention to him, he may not be able to speak a few words for a year, not to mention that his face is twitching when he smiles all day long. It's rare to take a break at this time. I don't want to make a sound, I just want to close my eyes and rest.

Just like that, the two brothers sat in the carriage and looked at each other silently, only the creaking of the wheels could be heard for a while.

Also because neither of them spoke, the noise outside became clearer.

"Candied haws—"

"Buns—one penny—"

"Guest officers, take a look and take a look. We traveled all over the world and came to Guibao Land for the first time. We performed a big boulder in the chest. If you have money, you can do it for money. If you don't have money, you can do it for yourself—"

Chu Dancheng was a little annoyed. When Gu Zhiyao was by his side, these were called human fireworks. The two of them felt warm when they were together. When Gu Zhiyao was not by his side, the usual human fireworks turned into noisy noises that disturbed the tranquility. Voice.

The more you miss someone, the less you can see what you have experienced with him in the past.

Hearing the seller of candied haws, Chu Dancheng would think of Gu Zhiyao's good taste, and whenever he came across them on duty in winter, he couldn't help but buy a bunch to take back for him; when he heard the seller of steamed buns, he remembered Gu Zhiyao used to get up early Make buns for himself, just for the sake of his own value so that he can eat a bite of what he made; when he heard the big stone on his chest, he was surrounded by Gu Zhiyao pretending to be ordinary people in his mind, saying hello three times, and throwing a piece of broken silver , Afraid that people would thank him a thousand times, and then ran away in a hurry.

Gu Zhiyao has a wide range of interests, and he is interested in everything he sees. Even if he has learned kung fu, he can't move when he sees these jugglers. Make fun of it.

Listening to the outside, the person who wanted to break the stone had already lay down, and the master who was singing next to him picked up the strings of the pipa, and after a series of sounds came out, he sang with a bright voice.

The master who sang the song seemed to be from Jiangnan, and he sang the soft language of Wu Yan in Jiangnan, babbling, long and continuous.

"Xianglian's clear water is cool and cool, and the water is cool and cool, and the summer is long. Long summer, green lotus fragrance, there is that Miss Yingying who calls the matchmaker..."

It can be said that this song is incompatible with the business of crushing boulders in the chest. Passers-by outside may also think that the song of crushing boulders in the chest is really not exciting. , only heard the sound of stone slabs being smashed, but no applause, and when the applauded little old man was holding a gong to invite prizes, he did not hear the sound of copper plates falling into the gong.

Performing arts pays attention to a person field, if the person field does not rise, the money field will not be in place. This is a common thing, and it is nothing unusual.Chu Dancheng let the handlebar pull the car aside, and raised the curtain to see the performer.

There were only five people in total, an old man who was inviting; a young woman wearing a snake bun who had just put down the sledgehammer, holding the hammer with one hand to wipe the sweat dripping down her chin; A man in his forties, with a piece of white stone foam hanging on his sideburns; there is also a yellow-haired girl with her hair combed into a double bun, sitting on the luggage and eating dry food.

Unexpectedly, the singer was also an old man, not much younger than Yao Cai's age, but his face was rosy and he was energetic.

Chu Dancheng stopped to look at them not because of others, but because of the singer, whose tune was so familiar, he had heard it from Gu Zhiyao's place countless times.

Most of the singing masters I was looking for were women, of all ages, and some could sing Kunqu Opera and Pingtan, but Gu Zhiyao was a boy, and the taste of singing was not the same. There are some places that I can't remember clearly, and I don't know the words, so Chu Dancheng has never heard the same thing.

But this time, the master who happened to meet was a man. Although he was old, Chu Dancheng could still recognize that it was this song.

This is Pingtan. People in Xiapi listen to Liuqin opera a lot. In the past, Chu Dancheng mostly looked for Liuqin opera, but he didn't expect it to be Pingtan.

The singer and the performer obviously didn't know each other before, and they joined forces halfway. Now the little old man who invited the lottery was arguing with the singer's master, expressing conclusively that the crowd is not good today, and most of them should blame the singer Qu'er sang some babbling little tunes, not meant to be lively and festive; the master who sang the song said that it was because of the old-fashioned way of breaking a big stone in the chest, and the people in the capital had never seen anything before, and it was not new for a long time.

The two old men talked to each other, and argued for a long time with red faces, but they still couldn't tell who was you or me. They were so angry that they heard a clang, and there was a sound of silver hitting in the gong.

The two of them looked up and saw a well-dressed young man bowed and saluted: "Old man, our master would like to ask, what song was sung by the master just now? That's right, I will give you 20 yuan each." Two denarii."

A few people froze for a moment, the servants of ordinary rich families were also arrogant, and they didn't look favorably on people like them. It's rare to see people like Sixi who are respectful and courteous to ordinary people, let alone make a move. 20 taels of silver are so rich.

You know, a girl's selling | body deed is only two taels of silver, although 20 taels of silver is not too much, but for people like them who have their last meal but not their next meal, it is enough for them to do some small business to make a living In the second half of life, let alone 20 taels per person, not 20 taels in total, which means that a family of performers can get 80 taels of silver, which is enough to buy a house and land.

Those who have money but don't make money are fools, and the old master who sang the song just replied in a daze: "Yingying plays the piano", and nothing else responded to Gulai.

Sixi thanked him, left 100 taels of silver, and asked again: "Master, give your 20 taels to their house too, and go back to Fu Garden with us, and provide you with delicious food and drinks. When our little master returns home, No matter how nice you are to sing this once, at that time, if you want us to buy some family business, it’s fine, or you want to live in our house directly for the elderly.”

The old master had never seen such a battle before, so he agreed without thinking.

Later, even Chu Dancheng also left the capital to seek Gu Zhiyao, and then they all came back together, until the fourth day, the old master finally got a chance to sing this song Yingying playing the piano.

Hu Tianhu stayed for three nights, last night Chu Dancheng became an old monk who had settled down, no matter how Gu Zhiyao teased him, he would not have any more intimate things with him.

After a few days in a row, Gu Zhiyao's whole body has changed from a little general who can go to heaven and earth to a weak student, and his voice is much lower.It's not that he has become more tender, it's just that his voice is broken at night and he can't really speak loudly.

After finally resting for a day, when Gu Zhiyao woke up, he felt that his muscles and bones were not so weak, and his mind was much clearer.

Alas, it is always troublesome to have friendship in your heart. If you work too much, your body will work hard, and if you don't work hard, you will feel that you miss others.

Zhu Chengdong is young and hasn't married yet. He is a majestic general, with extraordinary martial arts skills, and his ears are much more sensitive than ordinary people. Just like Gu Zhiyao and Chu Dancheng, when he saw them in the morning, he was ashamed for them. Personally, I don't think so, but in the end, I can only wrap around Chu Qingfeng and Chu Mingyue to take me with me, I really don't want to stay at home.

This person is very interesting, just like that, he didn't forget to drag his good brother Ying Er who had a life-long friendship with him, so as to save him embarrassment at home.

There were only two people left in the family, after having breakfast, Gu Zhiyao felt that his waist was fine today, and planned to go to the yard to practice, but he was about to walk away but was held back by Chu Dancheng.

"how?"

"Come on." After Chu Dancheng just said this, he stopped talking. Gu Zhiyao didn't know what his brother was trying to trick, so he followed him.

The scenery in the yard is the same as before, the same willows and the same lake, but the difference is that there is an old man holding a pipa sitting in the gazebo in the middle of the lake.When the old man flicked his hands, there was a series of ding-ding-dong-dong sounds. Seeing that he was looking at his birth across the lake, the old man pursed his lips for joy, and then sang loudly: "Xianglian, clear water moves, cool wind, water moves The wind is cool and the summer is long. The summer is long, the green lotus is fragrant, and Miss Yingying calls the matchmaker..."

This tune was so familiar to Gu Zhiyao, Aunt Gu tried to hum it when he was still a baby.Year.Sending this little song, it turns out that the word is like this, Gu Zhiyao's heart moved, and he couldn't help humming softly.

"Follow the lady to the boudoir. This is called a long summer with cool wind and water. The cool wind moves the water and the green lotus is fragrant. It really is an unusual summer scene."

After singing the song, the old man bowed and bowed to Gu Zhiyao.Gu Zhiyao's eyes were slightly wet, and he asked, "Old man, what's the name of this song?"

"Back to young master, this song is called "Yingying Plays the Qin"."

"Which Yingying?" Gu Zhiyao's eyes were a little dazed, and he didn't even realize that Chu Dancheng walked behind him and circled him, "Cui Yingying?"

The master who sang the song nodded, just smiled and didn't speak.

"Unfortunately, she is not Cui Yingying, and her cousin is not Zhang Sheng." Gu Zhiyao murmured twice, "In the end, I still paid by mistake."

"What about you? Did you pay by mistake?" Chu Dancheng leaned close to Gu Zhiyao's ear and asked softly, then made Gu Zhiyao turn his head and look at him.

At this moment, there is only tender affection left in his usually dark eyes that are a little creepy, reflecting Gu Zhiyao, only Gu Zhiyao.

Gu Zhiyao looked at Chu Dancheng, a little speechless, and after a long while, he sighed and pressed his lips to Chu Dancheng's, and said, "Brother, thank you for loving me."
