Peerless luthier

There is a faint fragrance floating in summer, as well as the throbbing hidden in my heart.

As they become more familiar with Bai Jinyu, the figures of the two always appear in every beautiful corner of Yundi, and the feelings of boys and girls are like fluttering butterfly wings, with cautious ignorance.The bright smile quietly raised seemed to be able to warm the hearts of the two of them.

When the evening breeze was mellow, Zhong Yi and Bai Jinyu looked at the brilliant starlight in the sky together.

Bai Jinyu suddenly said: "Brother Xiaoyi, do your parents know that you are with me these days?"

Zhong Yi smiled: "What's wrong?"

Bai Jinyu lowered her eyes slightly, and said softly, "Didn't you say that you went out to play with friends from Andu?"

Zhong Yi said: "My mother knows." Zhong Yi looked at Bai Jinyu with soft eyes: "That time when we went to the small pavilion on the mountain, when we came back, mother asked me, 'Xiaoyi, what did you say? Du’s friend, isn’t he the fourth lady of the Bai family?’”

Bai Jinyu was a little nervous: "Then did your mother say anything?"

Zhong Yi asked back: "What did you say?" He smiled and joked: "You say you are naughty?"

Bai Jinyu coquettishly said, "Brother Xiaoyi—I'm afraid your mother will say that I'm outside every day... After all, most girls at my age don't go out often."

Zhong Yi scratched her nose: "No, mother likes you very much, she said before that she wanted you to come to our house to play more."

Bai Jinyu opened her round eyes wide: "Really?"

Zhong Yi smiled and nodded.

Bai Jinyu smiled and said: "Okay, then when I get home, I will go to your house to play."

Zhong Yi remembered that they were going home soon, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Maybe... well, Jinyu, we will return to Andu in a few days."

Bai Jinyu was taken aback for a moment, and said dejectedly, "Oh, yes, it's been almost a month."

Zhong Yi comforted: "It's okay, Dad said that he will come to see Uncle Zou during the summer vacation, and I will follow him in the future."

Bai Jinyu looked at the grass swaying gently with the evening wind, and the stars in the distance were connected together, like strings of shining pearl chains.

"Brother Xiaoyi," Bai Jinyu said softly, "It's a pleasure to be with you."

Zhong Yi looked at Bai Jinyu's moist eyes, and said in a panic, "You...don't cry. I...I will come to Yundi to see you next year."

His flustered appearance brought warmth to Bai Jinyu.

Bai Jinyu smiled slightly: "I know."

Zhong Yi looked at Bai Jinyu's smile, her whole body blended into the night sky, and the surrounding stars shone slightly - the most beautiful moment was frozen in Zhong Yi's heart.

Three days later, Zhong Yi's family bid farewell to Zou Ru and left Yundi in a carriage.

The girl in the lavender dress watched the carriage leave from a distance.

Brother Xiaoyi, I will wait for you.

Her long black hair flutters with the wind, Bai Jinyu's life's waiting seems to start at this moment.

After Zhong Yi came home, he began to practice his piano seriously.

Father went to Xigong, and mother said that all the competitions of court luthiers were held in Xigong. The capital of Southern Chu—Xigong, under the foot of the emperor, was prosperous and magnificent. Thinking of this, Zhong Yi asked mother: "Uncle Wang will go to Xigong as a Are you an official?"

Yan Hui's face changed slightly, she smiled and said, "Of course, your father can also visit him this time."

Zhong Yi remembered that Wang Sanyin did come here a few days ago.

Flipping through the piano score on his own, Yan Hui sat down beside him, looking at him with a smile.

Zhong Yi noticed her gaze, and felt a little embarrassed: "Mother, what are you looking at me for?"

Yan Hui covered her mouth and smiled: "When I was a child, I took you to the street and said that you looked like your father, but now I look at it, and your eyebrows and eyes are a bit like your grandfather."

"Grandpa?" Zhong Yi was a little puzzled: Mother and grandpa and grandma didn't seem to be particularly close, and they were only mentioned occasionally.

Yan Hui's smile faded, and she sighed softly: "Xiaoyi, in fact, when mother married your father, grandpa and the others did not agree." Her eyes were somewhat melancholy: "At that time, grandpa liked A distant relative in the family seems to be my elder brother, and he is a very good swordsman... However, I insisted on marrying your father, and they had nothing to do with me, but they still agreed."

Zhong Yi listened quietly, and said earnestly, "Does Mother like Daddy very much?"

Yan Hui said: "Of course it is," she said with a smile, "Even though we were a little unhappy with our family, it has become much better now. The last time I asked A Li to send them a letter, A Li said that my grandpa and grandma hoped that we would go to Hecheng to celebrate the New Year. .”

Zhong Yi immediately said: "Okay, Daddy is definitely willing."

In the past, it was always Niangqin who returned to Hecheng alone.

Yan Hui smiled, hugging Zhong Yi, with a satisfied smile on her face, said: "Mother is so happy, you and Ah Li are so good, grandpa and grandma must like you two."

Zhong Yi smelled the elegant fragrance of her mother's body, and thought of Ah Li in her heart.

When is New Years Eve?

Not long after, two pieces of good news came.

The first thing is that Zhong Han sent a letter from Xigong, he has successfully passed the exam and reached the top level of luthier - court luthier.

The second thing is that Ah Li won the No.1 in the autumn evaluation of Kanyuan Pavilion and was recognized by the priest.

The days went by without a hitch, and Zhong Yi's height slowly reached a new notch on the peach blossom tree.

Huatian's hair began to fall out again, but it slowly grew back after a few months.

The red flowers in the yard withered, and the yellow flowers bloomed again. The seasons changed, and it was winter again in a blink of an eye.

This year's snow is not heavy, the family is sitting in the carriage talking and laughing, Huatian is lazily lying on the carpet, huddled next to the stove.

In the warm carriage, Zhong Yi cheerfully opened the letter sent back by Zhong Li.

"It's a happy holiday. I've already set off. I'll meet you in Hecheng soon. Don't forget about it."

Zhong Li's letters were always concise, Zhong Yi finished reading and said, "How many days are we left in Hecheng?"

Yan Hui said: "I guess, there are about seven or eight days left."

Zhong Han sighed and said, "The last time I went to Hecheng was more than ten years ago. I don't know if my father-in-law and mother-in-law are a little more tolerant to us this time."

Zhong Yi listened and looked at Yan Hui.

Yan Hui's eyes were slightly wet, and she said: "I don't think there will be any more embarrassments. After so many years, my father is also old, and my mother loved me the most back then, but... well, let's not talk about it."

Zhong Han put his arms around Yan Hui, feeling a little guilty: "I won't mention it."

Zhong Yi knelt down and stroked Huatian's fur.

After a few days, when I felt that the bumpy carriage was a bit difficult, finally one afternoon, my mother's eyes sparkled: "We are almost there."

Although Hecheng is located in the northern part of Southern Chu, the scenery along the way is quite distinctive.Unlike Yundi, which is located under the continuous mountains, it is not as prosperous as the small town of Andu. Even if it does not have the glorious atmosphere of Xigong, the terrain is open, and the river rushes from the north to the south of the river city. It is clean and peaceful. , a cheerful and prosperous area.

Along the way, he "lodged" in hotels and restaurants, seeing the wide streets and donkey carts passing by, and the tempting aroma wafting from the ramen restaurant, Zhong Yi couldn't help but sigh that this place is very good.

At this time, it was already evening, and the sun was radiating residual heat. It seemed that the river city had snowed a few days ago, and the snow piled up on the eaves reflected a colorful brilliance.

Mother seemed a little excited, but Dad was a little nervous.

They stopped at the door of a wealthy family.

Sixteen tall and well-dressed soldiers with knives stood erect at the door.Zhong Yi looked up, and saw "Governor's Mansion" written on the tall door plaque, under the gleaming golden font, it was the national seal of Southern Chu.

"..."

Zhong Yi shivered in the cold wind holding the shrunken flower field, and suddenly felt that her grandfather should be a domineering type.

Zhong Han pursed his lips, put his arms around Zhong Yi, and said, "Hui Er, let's go in."

Yan Hui looked at the tall mahogany door, showing a little melancholy, but quickly restrained her emotions, and said with a smile: "Okay, Xiao Yichang has never been here before, come on, mother will take you to see your grandpa and grandma .”

Zhong Yi's left hand was held tight by Yan Hui, and she stepped up the steps covered with a dark red carpet. When she reached the door, a tall and burly guard stopped them, and said with a straight face, "Who is it?"

Yan Hui's expression remained unchanged: "Yan Hui."

The guard was slightly taken aback: "The third Miss Yan who hasn't returned for a long time?"

Hearing the words "I haven't returned for a long time", Zhong Han's heart suddenly ached.

Yan Hui frowned lightly, her eyes were sharp, and she said, "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you inform my father?"

At this time, the door opened a crack, and a middle-aged man with a serious face and dressed as a housekeeper stepped forward.

Yan Hui saw him, her eyes moved slightly: "The butler."

The guard turned around, lowered his head and said, "Housekeeper, this woman claims to be the third young lady of the Yan family."

The big butler didn't look at him, and directly saluted Yan Hui with a loud voice, "Welcome Miss San."

As soon as these words came out, the guards guarding the door were stunned—this elegantly dressed woman is actually the third lady of the governor's family? !

They immediately knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "Welcome Miss San!"

Yan Hui's eyes were moist and she lowered her head.

Seeing Yan Hui's good complexion, the chief housekeeper let out a sigh of relief. It seems that these years have been going well.

He concealed his expression, and said: "Master is in the study, Third Miss, go to the backyard first, I will go and tell Master that you are back."

Yan Hui nodded: "Please trouble the housekeeper."

The butler looked at Zhong Han without any trace, nodded slightly to Zhong Han, and went in.

Zhong Han was a little disappointed, Yan Hui comforted him with a smile, "Let's go in."

Step over the high threshold, enter through the arch on the right, and after a few steps, you will find a circular corridor. The snow stops on the rockery, and the big pond is frozen.

Yan Hui took Zhong Yi by the hand, observed Zhong Yi's expression, and said, "Xiao Yi, is Grandpa's house beautiful?"

Zhong Yi nodded and said seriously, "It's very atmospheric."

Yan Hui smiled softly: "Actually, the family hasn't changed much these years, and it's still the same as before. When you see grandpa later, be obedient."

Zhong Yi nodded.

Yan Hui and Zhong Han looked at each other, and they smiled slightly.
