"There are thieves!"

Shang Xuesleeve woke up suddenly, Qinghuan next to him had already jumped out of bed, seeing that Shang Xuesleeve lifted the cloth on his eyes and wanted to come down, he hurriedly stopped: "The girl stays in the house first, in case there is really a thief, it's useless for you to go out, there is still danger." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info I'll go out and see what's going on first. ”

What she said was reasonable, Shang Xuesleeve nodded, and after a while, Qinghuan came in from outside and said, "It's a thief, girl, please go out and take a look, how to deal with it." ”

Shang Xue sleeved his clothes and went out, and saw a person on the board of the boat surrounded by a group, holding his head and curling up on the ground, and he couldn't tell how old he was if he was a man or a woman.

A boatload of people were awakened, and they were discussing whether to send the official during the day, when they saw Shang Xuesleeve coming out, they all said: "Class master, the thief is here." ”

The man shouted, "Don't hit me!" Don't hit me! I'm not a thief! I'm not a thief! ”

Shang Xuesleeve said: "What's the matter, listening to the voice is still a child." Someone next to him hurriedly brought a lantern over and leaned over to the person's face, and in the dim light, Shang Xuesleeve saw clearly that this was just a little boy, so he waved his hand and said, "You get up." ”

The boy stood up and looked at Shang Xuesleeve intently.

Someone next to him lit a lantern and came over, and Shang Xuesleeve saw that the boy in front of him was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with beautiful facial features and a handsome appearance, but there were a few black places on his face, and he didn't know if it was black and gray or he had been beaten blue just now, and he was wearing a satin dress, but it was already folded and dirty.

Shang Xuesleeve looked to the side and said, "What's the matter?" Who found out? ”

The fat chef squeezed over and said, "Master Shang, I always feel that there is little food on the ship these days, so I paid attention, and today I caught this little thief!" ”

Shang Xuesleeve bent down slightly, and said to the boy, "Whose child are you?" How on my boat? ”

As soon as the boy heard the chef's name for the beautiful woman in front of him, his eyes lit up, as if he had confirmed something, and then saw Shang Xue's sleeves asking him kindly, so he knelt down, hugged his two slender hands together, and kept bowing: "Master Shang, Master Shang, please accept me as an apprentice!" ”

The group of people around him were talking and laughing, and Shang Xuesleeve thought of many years ago in this noisy night.

She looked at the boy in front of her, her eyes flashing with curiosity, anticipation, admiration, and determination, but there was no despair.

No matter how you look at it, this is not a person who has been cornered......

She was also curious in her heart, and said, "What's your name?" You haven't said how you got to my ship. ”

The boy was about to speak, but he rubbed his stomach first, but hurriedly looked at Shang Xuesleeve and said, "I'm not hungry, I took ...... just now" He glanced at the fat chef who was glaring angrily next to him, swallowed his saliva and said: "I stole two steamed buns to eat...... It's just that I'm in a hurry to eat, and I'm going to drink tea. ”

"Also, still drinking tea? You are used to ......" The chef was even more angry, his fan-like fat palm waved, Shang Xue waved his hand and said, "It's just tea, it's not worth anything, Qinghuan, make a pot of my tea." ”

Shang Xuesleeve looked at this boy quietly, although he sat on the ground, he was polite, he took the tea cup, shook the tea with the lid, shook his head and blew it, Fang took a sip, when he entered it, it seemed that the tea was not very satisfactory, and he couldn't help but wrinkle his nose.

Though he was thirsty, he did not drink much, nor did he drink much—this is the son of a good man.

"Can you say it now?" Shang Xuesleeve put down the teacup.

"I ......" the boy lowered his head embarrassedly and said, "My name is Xu Zhi." ”

He raised his head, his eyes sparkled, and said, "I want to learn drama from you, that's why I secretly hid on the boat, I watched all the plays you played in Suzhou City, can you teach me?" ”

"Why?" Shang Xuesleeve himself naturally likes to sing very much, but he can't understand that a boy who looks so decent should sing.

She didn't wait for Xu Zhi to answer, and said: "And even if you want to sing, people like you can find an old master and give you a few words, and that's it." ”

Xu Zhi didn't seem to have any objection to "people like you", but was very dissatisfied with what he said later, and said: "I don't like old students. ”

Shang Xue couldn't help but shake her hands, her voice couldn't help but carry some anger, and said, "Why? ”

Xu Zhi was obviously a sensitive boy, and he immediately noticed it, and couldn't help but shrink back, and said: "I like Tsing Yi, and I really want to sing, I want to be a servant, otherwise I wouldn't have run to your ship - I've never heard such a nice tune, I've never seen such a good play." ”

Shang Xuesleeve didn't hear his words, she kept thinking about the story that Sai Guanyin said.

In the story, she is obviously a woman, but she is famous for her small life, and the bad luck she suffered is so painful, but the story also mentions those men in the South Wind Pavilion, who are dressed as Danjiao for people to play and have fun.

is obviously a child of a good family, why ...... Why jump into this line?

She said bitterly: "It seems that your family background is very good, and you don't need to sing to support yourself......"

Xu Zhi interrupted her and said, "Master of the Shang class, are you singing to support yourself?" I don't believe it, I can see it! He pointed to his eyes and said, "My eyes are poisonous." If you were just here to eat, you wouldn't sing so well! ”

Shang Xuesleeve couldn't talk to him, and said for a while: "We're talking about you, you really like it, it's okay to play tickets...... Go into the sea, you know a man like you......"

Xu Zhi stood up and said, "Wouldn't there be more female singers who do this kind of thing." The merchant class master can get out of the mud without staining, and convince people with skills, why can't I? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shang Xue's sleeves change his face, and he was busy bowing and apologizing, and said half-coquettishly: "Master Shang, I ...... I'm not sensible, no one has taken care of me since I was a child, you can take me, you can change my temper as much as you want. I really like your Ming drama so much, I haven't lost a single one, you listen, I can sing it. ”

Shang Xue's face softened, and he said secretly: "Why are I angry with him as a child?" If he likes to play, I will instruct him a few words, and I will wait until dawn to see him off the boat. ”

But she was attracted by Xu Zhi's singing.

Once he started singing, Xu Zhi also recognized the truth, and stood there uprightly, not daring to have the slightest joke.

The onlookers next to him also quieted down, although he was still young and didn't use a small voice, but that kind of charm was not fake.
