Peerless luthier

After Yan Hui's birthday passed, time passed faster.

In the morning, Zhong Li opened his eyes and slowly looked at a large green bamboo forest outside the window.

Still green... Unfortunately, his time limit is running out.

He took out the clothes from the familiar closet and put them on slowly in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror. His slender and powerful body was wrapped in a dark blue robe—it didn't quite match the image of the strong clothes from the previous few days.

After washing up, he stared at the more handsome face and dark eyes in the mirror, with a few traces of bewilderment hidden in the eyes.

Going downstairs, walking to Zhong Yi's bed in a familiar way, looking at the sleeping face of this person, my heart gradually calmed down.Sitting on the edge of the bed, trace the shape of his eyes and the slightly raised eye ends with his eyes.

Is this his brother?

Even if there is no blood relationship, he still wants to pamper him and cling to him as always, but if he wants to leave, what can he do, can he keep himself.

Zhong Li dimmed his eyes, slowly stretched out his hand that was used to holding a sword, and gently stroked his long black hair, which was as soft as satin.

Hua Tian looked at Zhong Li's side face in the cat's nest, walked slowly to Zhong Li's legs, and rubbed against him.

Tomorrow is the martial arts test, the weapons that should be practiced have already been used flexibly, and the speed of the moves has also been much faster due to the bad luck these days.

Zhong Li stood with his hands behind his back in the courtyard, raised his eyes to look at the gloomy sky - he didn't like the dark weather very much.

Walking slowly on the cobblestone road, with every step, countless memories hit my heart. Although the bamboo leaves are green, some of them fell on the path in disorder.

In this season, splendor and decadence coexist, some are in full bloom, while others are fading like old age.

Just going from one place to another, why are there ambiguous emotions?

Perhaps because of the weather, although it was still some time before he left Andu, Zhong Li already had an indescribable feeling of melancholy towards this home and this land.

Zhong Li him, but he is just a 16-year-old boy.These parting sorrows have appeared a lot in his life, but compared to the passion and ideals in his heart, these are nothing.

Zhong Li walked down the cobblestone road and walked back to the courtyard.

Zhong Yi was just about to get up, and it was late autumn. He sat on the bed, his water-red lips parted slightly, and stared blankly at Zhong Li with his eyes blindfolded—probably not fully awake yet.

Zhong Li walked to the side of the bed, pursed his lips, and calmly wanted to dress Zhong Xiaoyi. Zhong Yi was only wearing an inner jacket. He stuffed his bare feet into Ah Li's dark blue sleeve robe, and said pitifully: "Ah Li, where are the socks?"

Zhong Li remained silent, he stuffed his feet into the quilt helplessly, and said, "Put on your coat first, and stretch out your hands."

Zhong Xiaoyi obeyed obediently.

Speaking of Zhong Li helping Zhong Xiaoyi get dressed, there is still some history. Since childhood, he has always been in bed and used to get up early.

When Zhong Xiaoyi was young, it was Zhong Han or Yan Hui who woke Zhong Xiaoyi up and helped him get dressed.Later, at the age of ten, Zhong Xiaoyi got up and dressed by herself, but in late autumn, winter, and early spring—under his coquetry, it was Zhong Li who took over this "errand".

The two cooperated skillfully, Zhong Li let Zhong Yi lean into his arms, and began to put on socks for him.

Zhong Yi's black hair is soft and smooth, and even exudes a faint fragrance - Zhong Yi himself is not aware of these, but Zhong Li likes the feeling of hugging Zhong Xiaoyi, it is an extremely An intimate sense of security, warm and caring.

After putting on the clothes and shoes and socks, Zhong Yi took out the luthier robe she wore last night from the closet and said, "Should I give this dress to Daddy?"

Zhong Li shook his head and said, "Daddy said that you are well dressed, so I might as well give it to you."

Zhong Yi didn't feel much after hearing this.

Zhong Li folded the blue-colored luthier robe and put it in the closet. He said, "This luthier robe was worn by Dad on the day he became a banquet luthier. Keep it."

Zhong Yi listened and nodded seriously: "Don't worry, Ah Li, I will definitely keep it in the closet for safekeeping."

After finishing speaking, he neatly dug out a few mothballs and stuffed them in the lining of the luthier's robe.

Zhong Li looked at Zhong Xiaoyi's smiling face and the mothballs and was speechless for a while.

They took the dozing flower field to the dining room.

Yan Hui has always been interested in breakfast, so the dining table is still full of various breakfast snacks. Zhong Xiaoyi is holding the bird's nest porridge and eating slowly. fish soup.

Yan Hui smiled and said, "Mother likes your present last night very much."

Zhong Li raised his eyes and smiled gently.

Zhong Xiaoyi said with a smile: "Since you like it, then mother must show it."

Zhong Han laughed, and looked at Yan Hui with a smile: "What do you want mother to show you?"

Zhong Yi said: "Crystal Shrimp, Stir-Fried Kidney, Three Fresh Soup, and fresh fish from the past few days."

Yan Hui smiled and nodded: "It's not difficult, what does Ah Li want to eat?"

Zhong Li thought for a while and said, "Recently, I want to use some unique pastries."

Zhong Yi interjected, "A Li likes sweets."

Yan Hui said: "I understand that. After a while, Ah Rong and I will ask Deng Erniang to make some fresh pastries."

Zhong Han said, "Ah Li, aren't you going to practice today?"

Zhong Li nodded: "Today I plan to just relax and play at home."

Zhong Yi was envious and jealous: "Aren't Ah Li going to Lancang Academy?"

Zhong Li raised his eyebrows: "What else are you going to do?" He drank a few sips of sweet soy milk, and suddenly said, "Wang Sanyin has already gone to your academy."

Zhong Yi was surprised and said, "So it's really him—the last time we met in the academy, I thought I made a mistake."

Zhong Han said: "Your Uncle Wang will go to Xigong in November, and Sanyin will be staying at his cousin's house at that time, could it be Xiaoyi's Master Zhu."

Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Master and brother San Yin get along very well."

Yan Hui was somewhat puzzled: "Did San Yin study at Yunying Academy? So soon?"

Zhong Han said: "What Wang He said yesterday may be because each academy is different."

The topic turned around to Zhong Yi again.

Zhong Yi said: "Ah Li will take the martial arts test tomorrow, will the results come out in a few days?"

Zhong Li said: "The judges this time are the coaches of Kan Yuange in Fancheng. They rode fast horses, and after returning home, the list was sent back to Andu by Feige. Calculated, it will be almost the beginning of November."

Zhong Han patted Zhong Li's shoulder with a smile, and said, "If Ah Li becomes a hero in the army, I will be extremely happy."

Yan Hui said: "If one of our Zhong family's two sons becomes a court luthier and the other becomes a general in the army, I will definitely go back to Hecheng to pick up my parents and let them see how outstanding my nephew is."

Zhong Han smiled and straightened Yan Hui's black hair.

After breakfast, Zhong Yi went to the academy.

I met Master Zhu at the gate of the academy. Master Zhu was wearing a lavender robe, which was different from the style of clothes in the past.

Zhong Yi congratulates Master and salutes together.

Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Wish Master wear new clothes?"

Zhu Wen's expression became a little awkward: "Uh...not new clothes."

Zhong Yi said: "I heard from my father that Brother Sanyin has come to Yunying Academy?"

Zhu Wen said: "Yes, San Yin's grades are good, and he entered the academy's court class."

The court class of Yunying Academy is very powerful, and the outstanding students in it will have the opportunity to enter the court after being selected.

Just as she was speaking, Zhong Yi saw a figure approaching from behind Zhu Wen.

Because of his tall stature and handsome appearance, Wang San has an icy aura all over his body—all in all, for Zhong Yi, he is a very special person.

When he stood side by side with Zhu Wen, Zhong Yi was surprised.

Wang Sanyin said lightly: "Zhong Yi, don't you want to go to school?"

Zhong Yi shook his head, nodded again, his eyes widened, and said, "Before that, I want to ask—why are you wearing the same new clothes as Master Zhu?"

Zhu Wen was embarrassed again: "It's not new clothes..."

On the contrary, Wang Sanyin smiled a little, and his voice was slightly cheerful: "Oh? You mean my cousin's clothes? Hehe, those are mine."

Zhong Yi: "..."

Zhong Yi recalled that her father had said that Uncle Wang was going to Xigong, and that Wang Sanyin seemed to be staying at Master Zhu's house from now on.

Wang Sanyin raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhong Yi: "Why, why don't you go to Zhiqin Tower?"

Zhong Yi looked at Master Zhu's hesitant expression, and swallowed the phrase "Isn't Master still here?"

He obediently went to Zhiqin Tower, sighing in his heart: Because Wang San is so strong, Master Zhu must be physically and mentally exhausted taking care of him.

After Zhong Yi left, Zhu Wen said, "Aren't you going to class?"

Wang Sanyin said: "Of course," then he said without changing his expression: "I want sweet and sour pork ribs and light-colored vegetables at noon."

Zhu Wen thought for a while and said, "I will take a theoretical class today, and I will do it when I get home. You can go home directly after school."

Satisfied in Wang San's heart, the corners of his lips slightly raised upwards.

Zhong Yi was standing in his seat at the moment and couldn't calm down - the lock he bought was clutching tightly in his hands.

I saw that the books on his desk were scattered, and some of them were missing pages. The belly of the desk was lifted, and the books inside had long since disappeared.

His fists trembled slightly, and he put the lock he had bought, the one that was still in the future, and the lock he had installed on the book with missing pages.

At this time, there was no one in the school, and it was eerily quiet.

He glanced at the location of the missing page just now. If he remembered correctly, it should be a few important chapters—maybe it was intentional.

The "Qin Juan" disappeared inexplicably last time, but returned to his desk intact, so the "destruction" this time is blatantly expressing something.

Zhong Yi felt sad and stood there sullenly without making a sound.

Soon, a second person stepped into the school—Li Mu, who once gave caterpillars to Master Zhu.

He first greeted Zhong Yi with a smile, and suddenly saw the tragic state of the books on Zhong Yi's desk, with a look of shock on his face.

Zhong Yi smiled helplessly.

Li Mu approached, looked at Zhong Yi's empty stomach on the desk, and said in surprise, "This...is this being robbed?"

Zhong Yi said bitterly: "If you didn't come, please lock it... Last time I found the "Qin Juan", but this time, several pages are missing."

Li Mu said angrily: "Someone must have done this on purpose, you have to talk to Mrs. Zhu."

Zhong Yi said: "That's right, I have to find out this person."
