54. an ivory pillow

Miao Fan and Jun Jiu were waiting outside the village, and after a while, they saw smoke rising from the back of the house, and then the smell of burning things entered their noses.

"It's on fire—come and put out the fire—"

Junqi picked up the broken bowl and pan and knocked on it, and Qianqian shouted exaggeratedly as she shoved the lit wet grass balls through the cracks in the window, and soon the room was filled with choking smoke.

Jun Jiu frowned when he saw this, and was about to go to find Jun Qi, when he saw a sloppy little old man rushing out of the room, forty or fifty years old, with sparse hair and ragged clothes, like a rogue beggar.

Ge Mi was so choked that he couldn't stand it, so he jumped out of the door with his mouth and nose covered, rushed out of the fence with his head down, and bumped into Miao Fan, who was tall and long-legged.

Miao Fan hurriedly reached out and hugged him: "Be careful! ”

Only then did Ge Mi put down his hand, took a few deep breaths, then flicked his sleeves and pointed his head to the sky, and scolded: "I--your ancestor!" Which one killed a thousand knives and set fire to Lao Tzu's house?! ”

Miao Fan and Jun Jiu were stunned: "......"

As soon as Ge Mi finished scolding, a bucket of cold water fell from the sky and poured him cold.

Ge Mi looked back angrily, only to see Qianqian stuffing the empty bucket into Jun Qi's hand, clapping his hands and laughing sweetly: "Mr. Ge, right?" Look at your anger, I'll put out the fire for you. ”

Gami: "......"

I've run into an opponent.

Jun Qi put down the bucket and bowed to Ge Mi: "Xiao Qi to meet Master." ”

"Who is your master!" Ge Mi was so angry that his liver hurt, he took up his tattered sleeves and showed it to her, and said angrily: "You set fire to my clothes!" Write me a new one! ”

Qianqian looked at Ge Mi with disdain, thinking that this guy can also be a teacher? Is the pig's head really not revenge?

Jun Qi seemed to be accustomed to it, and nodded good-naturedly: "Yes, yes, yes, the student will pay." ”

"Humph!" Ge Mi hated and flicked his sleeves, turned his face to look at Miao Fan and Jun Jiu, and then pointed at Miao Fan and asked, "You are the one who sent the letter?" ”

Qianqian almost went crazy. What is a messenger? Her little monk is now a man! Master!

Miao Fan handed over the letter, not affected by the salutation in the slightest, and still had a handsome face that was not happy or angry. Ge Mi looked at him with a pair of thief eyes, but he didn't reach out to take it, but pointed out like an old lady: "You, read it to me." ”

"Okay." Miao Fan's biggest advantage is that he is broad-minded and does not worry about others. Ge Mi looked incredible, and he didn't feel any difference, thinking that the work of raising his hands could be convenient for others, so it was the best of both worlds, so he opened the letter and planned to read it.

But Qianqian was completely fried.

Deceive, man, too, even more!

She grinded her teeth secretly, and then quickly rushed forward and snatched the letter from Miao Fan's hand, and took the initiative to ask: "I'll read it!" ”

Ge Mi sat down on a rickety bamboo chair, pillowed his hands, and crossed Erlang's legs.

After Qianqian honestly read the matter of Zhu Ting's request to Ge Mi to accept apprentices, he still took the letter paper and pretended to make it up: "Brother Ge, the foolish brother took a concubine a few months ago, and spent thousands of dollars to buy a banquet, but now he is in debt everywhere, and his life is poor and embarrassing...... The foolish brother is not talented, and wants to borrow 200 taels from Brother Ge to repay the debt, and he will definitely repay it twice in the future. I also hope that my brother will be generous enough to solve my urgent needs, and the silver will be handed over to the two who went to deliver the letter......"

After reading the letter in a serious manner, Qianqian said to Ge Mi very sincerely: "Mr. Zhu owes a lot of money because he married a little wife, and now he is being collected for debts everywhere, and those people say that if he doesn't pay it back, he will be hacked to death!" Mr. Ge, you and Mr. Zhu are close friends, and you won't die without help? ”

General Ge Mi was suspicious: "Zhu Ting's concubine? How could he have such an elm head! ”

"Really, I don't believe you asked my father-in-law, he never lies." Qianqian tugged at Miao Fan's sleeve, "Xianggong, tell him, who is that Jin Niang Zhu Ting?" ”

Miao Fan said honestly: "Mr. Zhu does have a room like a lady, but that Jin Niang ......"

Qianqian interrupted him: "Look! I'm not wrong, Zhu Ting really married a little wife. She struggled to keep her eyes open, looking innocently and sincerely at Grimie.

Compared with this eccentric woman, Ge Mi naturally preferred to believe in Miao Fan, who looked honest, but he was still not at ease, and stretched out his hand and said, "Bring the letter." ”

"Okay." Qianqianluo generously handed over the letter, but when the two handed it over, she "accidentally" tore the letter in half, and then the half of her hand fell to the muddy ground "accidentally" and was trampled by her "inadvertently".

"Oops, sorry, I didn't mean to." Qianqian picked up the letter paper, which was covered with mud and couldn't read the words clearly. She handed over the dirty paper: "Here." ”

Ge Mi looked disgusted, waved his hand, and said, "Throw it away!" ”

He read the only half of the letter and confirmed that it was Zhu Ting's handwriting, and there was also a mention of receiving apprentices. He sighed and was also embarrassed: "Two hundred taels...... I don't have either. ”

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Zhu said that as much as you have, there is really no cash, and there are antiques that can be exchanged for money." Qianqian showed a very worried look about Zhu Ting, "Mr. Ge, you must help, otherwise he will be dismantled at any time!" ”

"Wait." Ge Mi didn't have the courage to leave the two words, rushed into the house in a hurry, Ping Pong rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and after a while took a long strip of something out, stained with mud.

Ge Mi wiped the thing with his sleeve and threw it to Qianqian: "Take it." ”

"What kind of ...... is this" Qianqian rubbed the surface of the thing, and a layer of mud fell off, and then revealed a tooth-white background, and some flower and bird patterns.

"Ivory armrest." Jun Jiu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, looking at the eyes of his arm resting a little strange.

The arm rest, also known as the wrist pillow, is used by the reader to cushion under the wrist to facilitate the copying and save effort, and it can also prevent ink from staining the sleeves. However, not all literati use arm rests, and some people who are particular about them will use them, which is a pleasing and interesting object in the study, but this arm rest is carved with ivory, which can only show that the original owner is not only rich, but also very luxurious and tasteful.

Ivory? That's sure to be good stuff. Qianqian Meizizi put away her arm rest, bent her eyes and thanked Ge Mi: "I thank you for Mr. Zhu and his little wife Xie Lu first!" The ...... of the receptacles"

Ge Mi snorted arrogantly: "The old man has to think about it. ”

When it came to accepting apprentices, Jun Qi also pitifully tugged at Ge Mi's sleeves: "Master, you just accept Ah Jiu, and the apprentices beg for it." ”

"Him?" Ge Mi has always refused to look at Jun Jiu, and at this time he turned his head to look, but his eyes were disdainful, "I can't take it!" ”

"Master, you are eccentric!" Jun Qi stalked, "Everyone else thinks about it, my family Ah Jiu didn't offend you, why did you open your mouth and refuse!" ”

Ge Mi was so entangled by her that her brain hurt, she brushed her hand away and grabbed it again, then pushed it away, and wrapped it around again...... After the most reluctant, Ge Mi really had no choice, and left a sentence.

"You know my rules, only one apprentice is accepted at a time, since both of them want to apprentice, then try it, and the one who wins will enter my door."

Jun Qi was overjoyed: "Okay, good! ”

Jun Jiu wanted to say something, but seeing that Jun Qi's eyes were full of eager anticipation, he just turned his face aside and snorted coldly.

"Why do you have to compete, who does he think he is, his eyes are long and his head is up......" Qianqian complained and whispered dissatisfied.

Miao Fan smiled when he heard this, and said to Ge Mi: "I admit defeat, Mr. Ge will accept Jun Gongzi as an apprentice." ”

Ge Mi was surprised: "Why did you admit defeat before you compared!" ”

Jun Jiu frowned indifferently: "You look down on me? There was a hint of humiliating anger in his tone.

"It's not." Miao Fan has always been restrained and modest, and said: "My original intention is to send a letter, and your original intention is to apprentice, since it is not the same purpose, why do you want to compete and divide the winners and losers?" If there is a rift because of this, it will ruin the fate of you and I meeting here. As I heard, the ten good karmic paths, if you are free from greed, you will attain the five kinds of freedom. I don't ask for it, I don't covet it, so I'm at ease. ”

It was Zhu Ting who hoped that Ge Mi would accept him, not his own prayer, so he didn't need any opportunity to compete, and the apprenticeship should be left to those who wanted to worship.

These words made others stunned, and Jun Qi muttered: "How do you seem to listen to the preaching of the master of the National Temple?" ”

Qianqian was proud: "Because my father-in-law used to be a monk." Seeing a few people stunned, she looked like her eyebrows were fluttering.

Awesome, right? Admire, right? She made him break his vows and return to vulgarity!

Ge Mi didn't seem to have encountered the situation that he was willing to accept others but was unwilling to worship, so he felt ashamed and humiliated, so he took the case: "Lao Tzu accepted you!" ”

Everyone: "......"

Are you planning to collect demons, Ge Tianshi?

Jun Qi was stunned: "That's it...... And what about my Ah Jiu?! She clenched her fists and puffed out.

"Collect it too!" I don't know if it was because he was afraid of being beaten, or if he changed his mind temporarily, Ge Mi decided to accept Jun Jiu, and pointed to the two of them: "You two will come back tonight." Okay, get out, I'm going to sleep! ”

Grimie swaggered back to his room, slammed the door, and immediately snored profusely.

"Great, Ah Jiu! Master has taken you in! Jun Qi hugged Jun Jiu excitedly, Jun Jiu's expression was light, but he just hugged his sister with his backhand and quickly let go.

Seeing this situation, he was envious, and pestered Miao Fan and said: "I want to hug Xianggong too-"

The four of them went down the mountain together, Jun Qi took the arm and looked at it, and kept praising it for being a good object, and by the way, he also estimated the price, more than a thousand gold.

"It's earned." Qianqian said such a sentence with a smile, but the speaker had no intention of listening, Miao Fan suddenly became suspicious and asked her: "Lady, did Mr. Zhu really borrow money in the letter?" ”

Qianqian said casually: "Yes." ”

"Really?" He said sternly, "Don't lie." ”

Qianqian was most afraid of his serious appearance, pretending to be crazy and stupid and knocking on his head: "Oh, I don't remember!" I've read that letter and forgotten it, so why don't you ask Mr. Ge. ”

“……”

She was the only one who had read the complete letter, and the letter had been destroyed by her "unintentionally", and now everything she said was dead and unproven.

Miao Fan was helpless and sighed heavily: "That's it...... Keep the things safe, and I will ask Mr. Zhu clearly before disposing of them. ”

"Yes, yes." She clung to him as a bird, all the way down the mountain.

"Ah Jiu?" Jun Qi found that Jun Jiu had been staring at the little couple, and couldn't help but ask him, "You always look at what others do?" ”

Jun Jiu retracted his gaze: "It's nothing." He lowered his eyes and spoke, "Sister, don't go, don't ...... Marry that guy. ”

Jun Qi was stunned, and quickly smiled, a little reluctantly: "Don't be willful, this marriage can't be changed." ”

"Don't marry!" Jun Jiu suddenly became very angry, "Do you think that I will be rare in exchange for something like this?" I'd rather not! ”

Jun Qi suddenly slapped him and silenced the tall boy.

"Your Majesty." Jun Qi clenched his fists and looked up at him, his eyes heavy and disappointed, "You are the king of a country, you are a man of a country, I should not have heard what I said just now, I will not be there in the future, you must be cautious in every word." ”

Jun Jiu turned his head awkwardly, refusing to look at her with red eyes, and refusing to admit his mistake.

In the end, Jun Qixian relented, raised his hand to stroke his flushed cheeks, and said in a low voice: "The Luo family's 300,000 army, I am determined to win." Ah Jiu, I want you to sit firmly on this throne. ”

Jun Jiu endured the pain, and his voice was bitter: "Wait, sister, wait for me for a few more years, I will definitely ......"

"We can't wait, Ah Jiu, we can't wait any longer." Jun Qi pierced the reality, "Shechen is in charge, we must fight quickly." Ge Mi is a good teacher, he will teach you how to taoguang and cultivate obscurity, and he will also teach you how to kill emperors, you should learn hard. It's a pity that I can't urge you to do your homework, you have to be more conscious, okay? ”

Jun Qi pretended to be relaxed, took a deep breath, turned around and pointed to the two people under the mountain: "In addition to the teacher, you also need a companion, a fellow disciple, he will be your best confidant, or even a friend." ”

"Ah Jiu you need friends, you're too lonely."
