Peerless luthier

The martial arts test only took half a day, and Zhong Yi rushed down the hall as soon as he heard the bell.

It was still Uncle Ma who came to pick him up.

Zhong Yi asked in surprise, "Where's Dad? Hasn't Ah Li finished the competition yet?"

Uncle Ma said: "The master said that the young master won the first place in the field, and the judges asked him to directly compete in the second half, so the master brought some food and rushed back to the field."

Zhong Yi felt a little joy in his heart, and said in a relaxed tone: "Then let's go back."

The carriage swayed, Zhong Yi thought about the lost book, and sighed leisurely.

When he got home, Huatian rushed out to pick him up. He hugged Huatian and was about to go directly to the dining room. When he passed by the kitchen, he found that it was very busy.

Deng Erniang seemed to be busy with the barbecue, the sizzling steak exuded an alluring aroma, Zhong Xiaoyi and Huatian's eyes turned green immediately.

"Hey, when did the young master come? There is a strong smell of oily smoke here, so the young master hastened to go outside."

Zhong Yi hugged Huatian and said sincerely: "Deng Erniang, Huatian and I are hungry and want to eat some meat."

Hanada immediately acted like a dizzy hungry cat.

Deng Erniang was a little surprised: Didn't Huatian just lick up a big bowl of fish soup?

She smiled at her young master, and said: "This barbecue is still a bit greasy to eat now, and the young master has to go to class in the afternoon. In this way, according to my wife's recent instructions, all meals are light and nutritious. I will give it to the young master now." How about the young master's minced meat soup with mushrooms?"

Zhong Xiaoyi nodded in a daze, and then realized that Deng Erniang had quickly gone from the outside of the kitchen to the soup place to fill the soup.

minced meat...

The eyes of Zhong Xiaoyi and Huatian slipped from the sizzling golden roast meat on the barbecue grill to the minced meat soup with mushrooms that Deng Erniang was holding.

It smells so good——

Zhong Xiaoyi and Huatian looked at each other tacitly.

Deng Erniang sent off her young master with a smile, and directed her assistant maids to get busy.

"The master just said that the young master wants to eat barbecue steak, we have to pack it up and send it to someone. By the way, let's serve it with some refreshing fruits..."

The aroma from the kitchen permeated the entire dining room.

Yan Hui gently served Zhong Xiaoyi with food.

Zhong Yi slowly tasted the braised tenderloin, while hesitating whether to tell his wife about his experience.

After wanting to speak for a few times, Yan Hui, who was delicate and thoughtful, found out that something was wrong with Zhong Xiaoyi.

Yan Hui said softly: "What's wrong?"

Zhong Yi choked up: "Uh...it's nothing, the exam is coming, I'm thinking about the middle-level luthier."

Yan Hui smiled and patted Zhong Xiaoyi's head: "Our Xiaoyi is really good, after Ah Liwu's test is over, mother will study some recipes for Xiaoyi to make up for, and eat crystal shrimp dumplings tomorrow morning, okay? Or crab meat dumplings?"

Zhong Yi said: "All of them."

Huatian circled around Yanhui's long silk dress, Mimi meowing.

Zhong Yi said: "What's the matter?" He looked at the cat food bowl in Huatian and understood.

Yan Hui shook her head, said softly with a smile: "Hua Tian, ​​I ate too much today, we can't make it gain weight."

Hanada looked up, her round eyes pleading.

Zhong Yi picked it up and said, "You, I'm full." He touched Huatian's round belly and said, "Mother, I have to take Huatian around."

Yan Hui agreed: "That's right, let's go for a walk in the courtyard."

Reluctantly, Hua Tian took a walk with Zhong Yi on her short legs, the bell around her neck was jingling.

Zhong Yi looked preoccupied while walking.

The flower beds in the courtyard were much darker. Looking at the withered vegetation, Zhong Yi sat by the flower beds in a daze.

I went back to the room and flipped through the books, but found that I couldn't read anything.

Zhong Yi went to the piano room, preparing to practice the piano. After all, she was going to take the intermediate-level luthier certificate examination in early November.

At the beginning of November, Ah Li is going to Fancheng, right?

Thinking that Ah Li performed so well, he would probably be admitted.

Sighing, looking at the dim light in the room, I feel depressed.In this gloomy atmosphere, Tongmuqin still quietly precipitates its simple luster.

Zhong Yi recalled a night, a summer night, when the peach blossom trees were shining brightly, his father opened the heavy wooden box, and the paulownia qin lay quietly under the moonlight, with a happy smile on his lips, a song "Tonight" surrounds his family tenderly...

Zhong Li closed his eyes, opened them again, wiped away his uneasiness and irritability, quietly looked down at his hands, silently recited the music score, put his plain fingers on the strings, and played the movement.

Some things may be destined, in short, there is nothing he can do now.

After the lunch break, the servant quietly stood outside the piano room for a while, and knocked on the door.

"Young master, it's time to go to the academy."

"Ah."

Zhong Yi stood up and walked out the door.

Huatian was lying on the small blanket at the door of the study, curled up into a ball, with her round head buried under her snow-white paws, seeing its strange sleeping appearance, Zhong Yi couldn't help but laugh.

When I arrived at the academy, I quietly studied ancient prose by myself.

The master who taught ancient Chinese said that these verses depended on comprehension, so Zhong Yi comprehended while reading silently. She just felt that she did not have such a high comprehension and emotion at present, so she had to read the collection of stories that her father sent a few days ago, and think about them while reading the stories.

Liu Fu's usual performance ranks third among the nine qinzi, Zhong Yi is the first, and Chen Cheng is the second.

His basic skills are good, and his fingering when playing the piano is very standard, but his understanding is not particularly high, and his skills in expressing emotions are a little jerky.

When it comes to homework, the most troublesome thing for him is ancient Chinese.

Every word and every word may be seen by some people as precious words, but in his eyes they are jerky and awkward.

"Plucking weeds and picking weeds, weeds also stop. Every day returns, and years don't stop.

Miscellaneous family miscellaneous room, because of the misfortune.Not to mention Qiju, because of the ignorance.

Cai Wei Cai Wei, Wei also soft stop.Said to return, said to return, and the heart also stopped worrying.

Anxiety, hunger and thirst.I am still undecided, and the extravagant envoy will return to hire. "

He frowned and read each word, but went through it in his mind.

Alas, annoying.

He habitually turned his head to look at Zhong Yi, and found that this guy was reading another book seriously.

Read extracurricular books?

He moved towards Zhong Yi indiscriminately, and found that it was clearly a storybook in ancient Chinese.

"..."

what the hell!Sure enough, there is a move.

He glanced at Zhong Yi's expression and found that he was watching with great concentration.Suddenly upset, he knocked on Zhongyi's table.

Zhong Yi, who was engrossed in watching the story, was taken aback by his interruption.

Zhong Yi looked at Liu Fu's expression that was not quite right: "What's the matter?"

Liu Fu squinted his small eyes, and glanced at the book in Zhong Yi's hand: "Where did you... get this book?"

Zhong Yi followed his gaze and knew that he was referring to this book.

Zhong Yi calmly handed him the book to read.

Liu Fu grabbed the book and flipped through it.

After a while, Liu Fu smiled and said, "Where did you buy it?"

Zhong Yi shook her head and said: "My father gave it to me, but I can ask you when I get home, and I will tell you at school tomorrow."

Liu Fu nodded.

Zhong Yi continued to watch from where he left off.

Chen Cheng, who was on the right side of Zhong Yi, had a panoramic view of their movement just now. He had good eyesight, glanced at the title of the book written by Zhong Yi, and silently wrote it down in his heart.

Soon after school, he quickly went downstairs, fulfilling his wish - Zhong Han looked at him with a smile.

Zhong Yi jumped on Zhong Han with joy, his eyes were bright, and he asked with a smile, "Daddy, did Ah Li pass?"

Zhong Han stroked his hair, and said softly, "Ah Li performed very well. The members of Kanyuan Pavilion announced the list at that time. Our family's Ah Li is the first in the literary test and the first in the martial arts test."

Zhong Yi was stunned: "Brother Ah Li...this... is so powerful?!"

Zhong Han smiled: "Of course, he is at home now, shall we go back?"

Zhong Yi nodded: "There must be something delicious tonight."

Zhong Han laughed out loud, with a bright smile.

Today's day is gloomy, but the night is fine.

The family is happy in the bright and warm dining room.

Yan Hui smiled and said: "Ah Li is really doing well, my mother is very happy."

Zhong Yi wore light blue loose clothes, squinted her eyes and leaned back on the chair comfortably: "Mother, I like tonight's dessert."

Zhong Han smiled and said: "That's it." He and Yan Hui looked at each other with a smile, "Your mother took Ah Rong seriously to make pastries all morning, and all the cakes served tonight are successful ones. .”

Zhong Yi picked up a piece of crystal hibiscus cake and ate all the shredded coconut into her mouth with satisfaction.

Today, Zhong's family was happy. Three plates and a small bowl were placed in front of Huatian. He happily gnawed on a piece of short ribs and meowed.

At this time, the servant reported with a smile: "Master, Wang Yuanwai and Prince Wang have come to announce the good news."

Zhong Han hurriedly said, "Quickly add two sets of tableware."

Wang He came in with a smile and brought gifts, and Wang Sanyin also carried a few boxes of gifts.

Zhong Han said, "Brother Wang, sit here."

Wang He turned around and handed Wang Sanyin's gift box and the gift in his hand to Zhong Li directly, and he said with a smile: "This is some kind of wish from your Uncle Wang, you are so majestic on the martial arts training platform today!"

Zhong Li stood up and took it with a smile: "Uncle Wang, thank you Uncle Wang."

Zhong Yi looked eagerly at Ah Li's gift.

Wang Sanyin tapped him lightly on the forehead, and said calmly, "You have a share too."

Zhong Yi's eyes lit up immediately, and she thanked Wang He with a smile.

Wang He said to Zhong Han with a smile: "Your two sons are both good and have a bright future."

Yan Hui covered her mouth with a smile and said, "San Yin is also very good. Xiaoyi came back last time and said that San Yin's elder brother was admitted to the court class in the academy. He is very good."

Both Wang Sanyin and Zhong Li glanced at Zhong Xiaoyi who suddenly buried her head in the binge.

Zhong Han said: "Isn't the Chaoban really good? I heard the teacher from the academy tell me about the rankings I entered last time, and Sanyin ranked first."

Wang He smiled and said, "Our children have almost grown up."

Zhong Han raised a glass of sake and smiled happily: "I don't drink alcohol on weekdays, how about a few glasses today?"

Wang He said: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

Zhong Han smiled and drank it down, knowing in his heart that the parting that had been postponed for many days would still come after all, for example, Wang He would leave Andu tomorrow, go to Xi Gong, and return to that person's side.
