After a few years, there was another vacancy for a musician in the Lile Workshop, this time, his wife gave Gong Yu an idea, take the money to honor the director, no matter how talented you are, you have to speak with silver at the critical moment.

The bones (ròu) and relatives (qíng) can't do the silver of white flowers, and the talent is counted as a (pì).

Gong Yu frowned and said that the family was about to be unable to open the pot, and there was no money to honor the supervisor. The wife scolded Gong Yu for the pig's head, and she wouldn't borrow it if she didn't have money?

Gong Yu gave up his face and stubbornly borrowed all his relatives and friends, and handed the borrowed silver to the supervisor.

The director looked at Yinzi, his eyes were smiling, and he praised Gong Yu, saying that over the years, Gong Yu has finally matured and sensible.

The wife calculated an account for Gong Yu, saying that it is also appropriate to borrow money to honor the supervisor and be a musician, the salary of the musician is high, and the treatment in all aspects is also high, and if you borrow that money, you can return the cost in ten or eight years.

Gong Yu thought that he had honored the supervisor this time, and the position of musician should be his own, right? Unexpectedly, after the results came out, the position of musician was given to a young musician who had just arrived.

This young musician's cousin is the chief of the palace, who dares to fight with him in such a hard relationship?

Gong Yu thought to himself that if the musician couldn't be a musician, the silver that was filial to the supervisor should always come back. Gong Yu found the supervisor and asked the supervisor for money, but the supervisor changed his face at that time, threw a silver ticket on the ground, and left in a huff.

The next day, the supervisor transferred Gong Yu to the treasury, which is equivalent to the cold palace in the Lile Fang, and those who arrive here are never allowed to turn (shēn) unless they change their bosses.

The colleagues of Lile Fang all understood that Gong Yu had offended the supervisor, and in order not to be implicated, the colleagues did not dare to deal with Gong Yu, and Gong Yu became a lonely goose in the sky.

was depressed in Lile Fang, and when he returned home, his wife kept fighting with Gong Yu for trivial matters such as firewood, rice, oil and salt. The wife is scolding, the daughter is crying, and this cold home makes Gong Yu feel no warmth.

The wife scolded Gong Yu for being a wreck, Gong Yu didn't say a word, the big man was mixed like this, it was indeed a wreck.

After a while, his wife suddenly quieted down, stopped arguing with Gong Yu, dressed up every day, used all kinds of luxury goods, and spent money like water.

Gong Yu's salary was not enough for his wife to squander it so much, Gong Yu asked his wife, and his wife admitted very calmly that she was having an affair.

The wife fell close to a deputy director of Yuefu, and the deputy director had some power in his hands, and exchanged this power for silver, and piled up mountains of gold and silver at home.

A man with money, one (shēn) rotten sores are also glamorous and pleasant (ài). The wife has a showdown with Gong Yu, (bī) forces Gong Yu to write a letter of resignation, and she wants to take her daughter to the arms of the deputy director.

Gong Yu wanted to keep her daughter by her side (shēn), but his wife ridiculed Gong Yu, "With you like this, you can't make a profit for eight lifetimes, and your daughter follows you (shēn), what else can you get except to endure hardships? I don't want my daughter to know that she has a waste father!"

The wife left with her daughter, and she did not (yǔn) Xu Gongyu to visit.

Gong Yu thought to herself that her image in her daughter's mind was blurring little by little until it disappeared. It's okay to forget about yourself, the wife is right, don't let your daughter know that she has a waste father who can't do anything.

After listening to Gong Yu's story, Xia Yu was very emotional and said: "Brother Gong, you are a talent, a piece of gold, and sooner or later there will be a day when you will shine." ”

Gong Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Little brother, don't comfort me, I'll count."

I'm just a complete waste, I can't even afford to raise a wife and a daughter, so I'm going to fiddle with these useless instruments, and I hope that when my daughter grows up, she won't be like me. ”

Xia Yu looked at Gong Yu and asked, "Brother Gong, are you drinking?"

"Drink a little once in a while," Gong Yu said.

Xia Yu said: "I'll go buy some wine and food, and our brothers will drink some." ”

"Little brother, I ......" Gong Yu was shy and didn't want to drink.

Poor man, a dignified five-foot man, he can't even afford a drink.

Xia Yu said: "Brother Gong, you wait here, I'll come back when I go." ”

Xia Yu went out of the palace, ran to the street, found a restaurant, bought some wine and food, brought it back to the palace Lile Fang warehouse, sat on the ground with Gong Yu, and ate and drank.

Xia Yu poured a glass of wine for Gong Yu and said: "Brother Gong, things are often unsatisfactory, but you can be the same as the speaker, no matter what you say, I respect you, in terms of music, you are a master, an impeccable master." Come, I'll toast you. ”

Gong Yu raised his wine glass, looked at Xia Yu, smiled, and said, "God hasn't completely abandoned me, let me meet you, good brother, let's do it!"

Gong Yu and Xia Yu pushed the cup and changed the lamp, drank it, and talked freely while drinking, both of them were a little drunk unconsciously, and their voices became louder and louder, and they were noisy.

Suddenly, the door of the storeroom was kicked open, and a short man broke in, (yīn) with a calm face, and shouted, "During working hours, you dare to drink here, do you want to do it!"

Xia Yu took a look, this short man's name is Ronggui, he is the deputy director of Lile Fang, a maggot without a bone above and below, every day around the supervisor (shēn) to serve tea and water, slip whiskers and pat horses, and give the supervisor (tiǎn) shares (tiǎn) very happy.

In front of the supervisor, Rong Gui smiled and liked people like a puppy. In front of the musicians, Ronggui was fierce and vicious, with a bitter and mean face.

In order to please the supervisor and improve his political performance, Ronggui has extremely strict requirements for the musicians, and those who give him money can say that those who don't give him money will try their best to torture you and make it difficult for you, eager to squeeze out your bone marrow.

Xia Yu looked at Rong Gui contemptuously and said, "Aren't you Rong Peeling?"

The nickname Rong Pao Pi is widely spread among the musicians, but no Legong has dared to call him Rong Paopi in front of Rong Gui.

"What do you call me?" Rong Gui squinted his eyes and bared his teeth as he looked at Xia Yu.

Xia Yu said: "I call you Rong Papi, others call it in my heart, I call it on my mouth." ”

Rong Gui was furious and shouted, "You bold minion, you dare to despise Lord Ben!"

Xia Yu said: "I am a musician, not a slave, the slave is you, no matter how high a person like you climbs, the slave (xìng) in your bones will never change." ”

Rong Gui clenched his fists and shouted, "Xia Yu, you, you, do you still want to stay in Lile Fang?!"

Xia Yu smiled and said, "What do you mean, you want to expel me? The master eats the emperor's grain, not your family's food, even if the master is expelled, it will not be your turn." ”

"You despise your own officials, you despise the laws of the court, and your sins are unforgivable!" Rong Gui viciously threatened Xia Yu.

Xia Yu said: "Those who are honest are guilty, and those who are corrupt and pervert the law are meritorious, is there no place for the huge Chengping country?"

"Who is corrupt and perverts the law, Xia Yu, don't spew blood!" Rong Gui screamed inwardly.

Corrupt officials like Ronggui, who have no foundation and have a despicable character, are the most cowardly.

Xia Yu waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, I'll be sick to my stomach when I see your face, don't affect us to drink here." ”

"You, you, you ......" Rong Gui trembled with anger and pointed at Xia Yu, not knowing what to say.

"You don't understand when you get out?!"

Xia Yu grabbed a chicken bone and smashed it towards Ronggui, the chicken bone hit Ronggui's head, and Ronggui's forehead bulged with a big bag at that time, which made Ronggui grin.

"Boy, you wait for me, the two of us are not finished!" Ronggui threatened Xia Yu a few words, covered his forehead, and walked away.

Xia Yu looked at Ronggui's back and said to Gong Yu: "No one cares about talents like Brother Gong, and a slave like Ronggui is booming, and his (nǎi) (nǎi) is really unreasonable." ”

Gong Yu grabbed a peanut, threw it into his mouth and chewed it, and said, "I used to be like you, I couldn't get used to this, I couldn't get used to that. Later, I found out that no matter whether you are used to seeing it or not, the world will not change because of you, you can only change with this world. ”

Gong Yu and Xia Yu drank wine, chatted for a while, Xia Yu remembered that he still had a task (shēn).

Xia Yu put down his wine glass and said, "Brother Gong, when I was studying music with my master, I heard Master say that we have a superb musical instrument in Chengping Country, called Lile Hongzhong, I wonder if Brother Gong can know?"

Gong Yu frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Lile Hongzhong, forgive me for being lonely and unheard, I haven't heard of it. ”

Xia Yu thought to himself, Lile Hongzhong was the name of Chengping more than a thousand years ago, when the Chengping Kingdom was just established, and now Lile Hongzhong is likely to change its name.

Xia Yu said: "Brother Gong, do we have a valuable bell in this palace? ”

Gong Yu looked at Xia Yu and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, then made up a lie and said: "Back then, my master had been looking for the legendary Lile Hongzhong, but unfortunately, he couldn't find it in his life. When he was dying, Master instructed me to carry on his legacy, continue to search for the Lile Hongzhong, and after finding it, comfort his soul in heaven. ”

Gong Yu held the wine glass, a little sad, he was moved by the story made up by Xia Yu, and said: "Your master is so obsessed with music, he is really a respectable old-timer, and it is my regret that I can't meet the old-timer." ”

Xia Yu thought to himself, in order to prevent Helian Bo from gathering the Quartet artifact and endangering the common people, he had no choice but to tell a small lie, and Gong Yu knew the truth of the matter (qíng), so he probably wouldn't blame himself.

Gong Yu adjusted his mood and said, "There is a (tào) Lezu chime in our palace, and this (tào) Lezu chime is said to have been cast when Lezu made ceremonial music. The most valuable bell in the palace should be this (tào) Lezu chime. ”

"Where is this (tào) Lezu chime now?" Xia Yu asked with suppressed excitement (qíng).

Gong Yu said: "This (tào) bell is in the Ouchi Treasury, except for the head of the palace, no one can enter and leave the Ouchi Treasury at will. ”
