"Childe is well." At that moment, a woman with simple hair and plain clothes walked over with her waist shaking, "Childe's piano skills are superb, but he is better than all our violinists here." ”

Guo Jia returned the salute: "I'm smiling." It's really a last resort. ”

"Childe doesn't have to be too humble! Childe came today, but it added a lot to our store! ”

Guo Jia interrupted: "If you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

The woman smiled slightly: "I would like to ask Gongzi to be the luthier, we can pay a lot of money!" ”

Guo Jia was stunned, this was something she never expected: "Piano master? ”

The woman continued, with a smug look on her face: "Our building is no better than others, how many people can't ask for it." The outer luthier has ten taels of silver a month, and we will give you thirty taels! Childe, if you agree, the day when you will emerge in this Yongning City in the future will be just around the corner! Not to mention being looked down upon by the nobles of the king and grandson, even with your own ability, you can also make a name for yourself! We don't need to come every day, we only need to come once every three or five days. For the rest, Childe can do whatever he wants, and it's okay to go out and find two little girls to be companions in three or five days! ”

Guo Jia blushed a little, coughed twice and continued: "Good things are not worth much if you are used to seeing them, but Your Excellency will do business!" However, this matter has to be considered in the long run. ”

Madame thought that he wanted the lion to open his mouth, so she could only ask with a smiling face, "Childe, what do you think?" ”

Guo Jia suddenly had an idea, and smiled slyly: "I can respond." It's just that there are some rules that we have to change. I only come three times a month, and each song is five taels of silver. Also, I'd rather teach your girls than a luthier. ”

Ordinary pianists are unwilling to show their housekeeping skills lightly, and it is even more difficult to accept apprentices, let alone teach such people. The woman's eyes lit up, and her heart snickered: This man! He looks like a smart person, but he never thought he was a fool! She calmed her expression and asked again, "That's good, but it's just the price..."

"One hundred taels."

"Ahh You, you..." Madame was frightened, "The best master is only fifty taels of silver a month, you!" How dare you..."

Guo Jia was not in a hurry, and persuaded him eloquently: "It is said that the apprentices of the church starved to death of the master. How many of the teachers and trainees in the outside world are teaching with their hearts and lungs? It's not the same below. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, not to mention proficient, close to proficient. However, only the tip of the iceberg is revealed, and you are shocked, are you sparse and shallow, or am I not worthy of the name? In the first place, I didn't expect to survive with this little carving insect skill, even if I gave it to him, so what's the matter? Besides, after tonight, who doesn't know that there is a glimpse of a genius here? When people flock to it, are they worried that there is no money to be made? One hundred taels, such a good deal, if you don't want to, you have nothing to say. The food at home is still warm, and I say goodbye! ”

The woman hurriedly stopped her: "Son, wait a minute, wait for the old man to reply." ”

The woman quickly returned, and her tone became more and more polite: "Childe's surname? Please also ask the son to arrive on time tomorrow, and the old man is waiting here. This is the deposit. Guo Jia took over a heavy burden and replied with a smile: "Shen Qing thanks." With that, he went to the small side door.

The store was still noisy, Guo Jia was walking on the road, in a very happy mood, and she didn't even pay attention to the carriage behind her.

The man in the carriage lowered the curtain and hooked the corners of his mouth: "Send someone to follow her." ”

There is silver, but it is not safe.

Also, where does she live?

The escort soon had news.

"Former Prime Minister's Mansion Guo", there are only these four words on the note.

The man pinched the note in his hand and fell into deep thought.

"The Guo family of the former Prime Minister's Mansion, who else are there?" He asked the servant beside him.

"Back to the master, Master Guo had a stroke at home, there are two servants with him, and there are two daughters and a son, Miss Guo grew up in Jingsi Nunnery hundreds of miles away since she was five years old, and she just returned home more than a month ago, and I heard that she is a beauty."

"How old?"

"Xu is fifteen or sixteen years old... Because of changes in the family, I just canceled the family affair with Master He's family the day before yesterday. ”

The family was in a difficult situation, and I had to come out and show my face.

I see! What a daring!

It's just... Pity!

The man smiled and burned the note to ashes.

When Guo Jia returned to the house, it was already dark. When Xiu Yuan saw her, she hurriedly ran over, with a reproachful look on her face: "Miss can make the old slave anxious!" Don't be so playful next time! ”

Guo Jia only agreed, went straight back to his room, changed back into the women's clothes on weekdays, and then went to Guo Wangzhi's room to wait.

At night, Guo Jia felt a little tired, and Zhao Xiuyuan prepared hot soup.

Guo Jia watched Xiu Yuan have some difficulty pouring water, so she had to go over to help her; Who knew that Xiu Yuan was like touching a poisonous snake, and shook her head while dodging: "This is unacceptable!" You are a young lady, I am a slave, and there is no reason for a young lady to work for a slave! ”

Guo Jia sighed: "I'm like this now, what kind of young lady is I." However, it's time to buy another girl back. ”

Xiu Yuan put the water and retreated.

Guo Jia took off her clothes, untied her head full of green silk, and slowly stepped into the bathtub. The flickering candlelight outlines her wonderful reflection; The water vapor is steaming, and the room is beautiful.

Early the next morning, Xiu Yuan went into the house to help Guo Jia make up.

"Lady's hair is really good! The old slave thought that the young lady must have a hard time in that remote nunnery. Xiu Yuan took a carved wooden comb and combed her hair in a fine bun.

Guo Jia smiled lightly: "Just because I have a good master who thinks about me everywhere!" Although Jingsian is far away, it also has far benefits. Every morning bell and dusk drum, it is also quiet and quiet, without many pickled mundane things in this big house! I'm much luckier than you. ”

Xiu Yuan sighed: "But no, the old slave has lived all his life, and he hasn't seen anything dirty?" It's better for you to see it, Miss! ”

Guo Jia interrupted her: "Let's comb a man's hair for me, I still have to go out today." ”

Xiu Yuan couldn't help but persuade: "Miss, you are a haunted person, but the old slave has a heart." You still stay in the house to embroider and read women's training, this is the duty of a girl's family! Girls are going to get married after all, and Master Jingzhi is already helping you see your husband! Guo Jia raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Uncle Jingzhi helps me look at each other? Does he help me? What else can be a good result? Leave him alone! With that, Guo Jia changed into a long shirt and went out with a solemn face.

When she arrived at the full building, the woman had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that the time had come, Guo Jia had not appeared for a long time, and when he was in a hurry, he immediately greeted Guo Jia when he saw him coming. Guo Jia entered the inner room, and there were more than ten piano masters of all ages, which was really a lot. Guo Jia saw it: It's really as the woman said, you can mix here, you really have some real skills! Everyone was very polite when they saw Guo Jia for the first time, but they really didn't take the other party to heart in their hearts. Someone saw that he was young and didn't seem to have reached the age of a weak crown, so even if he stood up unconvinced, he said politely: "I heard that Shen Caizi's singing voice is very clear, and he has practiced a few repertoire in the next talent, which is quite appreciated." Please also ask the talented man to appreciate his face, so that you can open your eyes! ”
