"Stand still." About an hour after a stick of incense, Boss Gu and Mother Xu took Qiu Tang to the backyard, "Stand up." Today, you will sing all the songs I have taught you one by one. Qiu Tang, you are also here to listen. Which of you will come first? ”

Seeing that the master wanted to check his homework, Yuluan hurriedly moved a Taishi chair and placed it behind Boss Gu. Boss Gu sat down, leaned back slightly, and took out two walnuts, rubbing them in the palm of his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"I'll come." Luzhu took a step forward, regardless of whether Boss Gu looked at her or not, fluttering and blessed, "Sing a short paragraph in "The Peony Pavilion". Luzhu paused, lifted his breath, and spoke: The dream is back to the warbler, the chaotic years are all over, and people stand in a small courtyard and a deep courtyard. Inject all the smoke, throw away the residual embroidery thread, and this spring is like last year.

"Alright." Boss Gu waved his hand, "I can barely listen to it, but it lacks some charm, go back and think about the lyrics." ”

"Yes." Green Bamboo stood aside with his hands down.

"I sang a passage from 'Dream of Spring'." Seven or eight-year-old Qing Ling stepped forward, paused, and said: Poor crossbow filled the front battle, and experienced all the hardships and hardships. No one asks about hunger and cold......

"Stop. It's too soft, don't sing it anymore. Boss Gu interrupted Qingling.

"Yes." Qingling pursed her lips and stood next to Lu Zhu.

"Ling Yi, do you understand all the books taught by the master today?" Concubine Rou in Changle Palace held her son's hand, her eyes full of gentleness. This son was born after he tried his best to pretend to be humble in front of the queen, and finally climbed to the concubine position. Although it is the eleventh prince, there are only four princes who can live peacefully in the palace.

"Mother rest assured, every day the son is studying hard, and the master praises the son every day." Although Mu Lingyi is still young, he knows the sinister in the palace, and he also knows that he and his mother are one, one is prosperous, and the other is lost.

"Don't worry, how can you not be at ease? Your father asked about you yesterday, saying that he hadn't seen you for a long time. ”

"The son-in-law will go to his father early tomorrow morning to say goodbye."

About an hour later, Boss Gu stood up: "Okay, that's all for today." You have to remember that you don't just move your mouth when you sing the lyrics, you have to be attentive in order to sing well. Yuluan, you take them to practice their bodies again, and Qiu Tang will come here with me. ”

Mother Xu took Qiu Tang to follow behind Boss Gu, and after passing through a small circular gate next to the courtyard, she came to a pond. There are a few remnants of lotus standing scattered in the pond, and the pond is enclosed by delicate fences and rockeries. At the other end of the pond, there were two or three teenagers of the same age as Yuluan in a four-corner pavilion to hang their voices and practice, and the sound floated from the pond, clear and tactful, refreshing.

"Yuchen, come here." Boss Gu called across the pond.

"Yes, Master." A teenager in the pavilion replied with a loud salute.

"Qiu Tang, this is Yuchen, he will teach you alone in the future. Yuchen, this is Begonia. ”

"Master." Qiu Tang fluttered in the jade dust. Yuchen stretched out his hand and helped Qiu Tangxu up.

"Qiu Tang, Yuchen will teach you the first paragraph today, you have to listen to it well, remember it well, and sing it to me in two days." Boss Gu nodded, very satisfied with Qiu Tang's courtesy.

"Yes." Qiu Tang lowered his hand and agreed.

Boss Gu gently patted Yuchen's shoulder, looked at Mother Xu, and stretched out his hand to continue to lead: "Mother Xu, let's go, let's go have tea." Then he turned and walked away.

"Congratulations to Master, Mother Xu." Yuchen gave a salute and watched the two leave.

Seeing that Boss Gu and Mother Xu disappeared from sight, Yuchen turned around, looked at Qiu Tang up and down, and let Qiu Tang turn around in place, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "It's really a good billet." Okay, today I will teach you the first paragraph, the paragraph of "The Peony Pavilion", the soap robe. Listen to me first. ”

Yuchen walked to the edge of the pond, lightly raised his red lips, slowly raised his jade wrist, his silver teeth seemed to be exposed, and his face was full of spring: it turned out that the purple and red flowers were blooming all over the place, and they seemed to be paid with the broken wells and the walls. Flying towards the twilight roll, the clouds and the cuixuan, the rain and the wind, the smoke and waves painted the boat, the Jinping people look at this Shaohua cheap.

Yuchen's voice was clear and tactful, soft and gentle, making people unconsciously.

"Don't be in a daze, now I'll sing a sentence, and you learn a sentence." Yuchen frowned slightly, waking up Qiu Tang. Qiu Tang raised his eyes and looked at it, Yuchen's slightly frowning brows made people feel pity. In the blink of an eye, Qiu Tang saw the anger in Yuchen's eyes, and only then did he come back to his senses, realizing that he had lost his manners, so he hurriedly stabilized his mind and replied in a low voice, "Yes." ”

Seeing Qiu Tang's response, Yuchen retracted his gaze and slowly taught sentence by sentence.

"Patriarch, everything is ready to go." A woman wearing a half-bronze mask had no emotion, her dark eyes were hidden under the mask, and the colors could not be seen clearly, and her lips were as red as blood on the pale skin as if they had been cut with a scimitar, hooking a mysterious arc.

"You are going to meet with Zhang Guoshi under the pseudonym Yue Shumei this time, and you must stop in the Holy City at any cost, hide your whereabouts, and keep in touch." The patriarch of the Qimu clan turned his back to the woman, and his voice was slightly old.

"My daughter understands." The woman answered. Under the half-cut bronze mask, there was a killing intent.

This teaching is an hour. Even Boss Gu and Mother Xu were standing behind them, and the two of them didn't notice it.

"Alright, that's all for today." After Qiu Tang sang it in its entirety again, Boss Gu's voice came from behind him.

"Master." Yuchen hurriedly turned around and saluted.

"Master." Qiu Tang turned around and was deeply blessed

"Well, it's good to teach, and it's good to learn. Alright, that's all for today. Boss Gu patted Yuchen's shoulder, his eyes full of smiles.

"Thank you for the compliment. Yuchen still had to practice, so he retired first. "Boss Gu rarely praises people, Yuchen is praised, and he is overjoyed in his heart, but he still bows and leaves.

"Boss Gu has a heart." Seeing that Boss Gu sent the most proud disciple to teach Qiu Tang, Mother Xu was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

Mother Xu said seriously. Begonia is in good condition, it should be trained well, and it shouldn't be wasted. Boss Gu touched Qiu Tang's hair and said.

"Qiu Tang, thank you for your love." Begonia is deeply blessed.

"Yuchen," Boss Gu called Yuchen when he saw Xu's mother leaving with the girls, "Do you think Qiu Tang looks like who?" I always feel as if I've seen it somewhere. ”

"Master." Yuchen gave a salute, thinking about Boss Gu's words. "Master! Portrait! The portrait that Luan took the head that day! Yuchen's eyes lit up.

"Not bad." Boss Gu pondered and nodded slightly, "No, it's not." In turn, he denied Yuchen.

"Master?" Yuchen looked at his master in surprise, he didn't understand why the master suddenly changed his attitude.

"Not really." Boss Gu's eyes were like torches.

"Yes. It's a mistake in vain. Yuchen looked at the master's eyes, and suddenly understood in his heart.

"Master, she's here." The housekeeper Zhang Chun pushed open the door of Zhang Qingyan's study.

"Please come in." Zhang Qingyan hurriedly got up and greeted the door. A plainly dressed, disheveled, sallow-complexion, about fifty years of age, stood in the doorway. Zhang Qingyan was stunned for a moment, looking the woman up and down, "Are you?" ”

"The evening breeze courtyard is at the beginning of the plum blossoms." The woman's voice is completely different from her appearance, and her voice is cold and clean.

"Light clouds come and go, and the months are sparse. Come in. Zhang Qingyan let the woman into the study, turned around and instructed Zhang Chun at the door, "Go and get a basin of hot water." Then go and find two clean clothes. ”

"The patriarch of the Qimu clan has corresponded with me for many years, and I have always wanted to see it, but I don't want to be a woman." Zhang Qingyan poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to the woman.

"My name is Yue Shumei, and it is my father who corresponds with the national teacher, and because it is inconvenient for my father to come forward, I will come to the holy city this time to discuss the details with the national teacher."

"It turned out to be the eldest lady." Zhang Qingyan said with a smile, "The eldest lady has been tired all the way, why don't you take a break and talk about it later?"

"It's okay, after all, the days are still long. Then I might as well be respectful. Thank you, National Teacher. Yue Shumei stood up and hugged her fists and thanked her.

"Master, the water is here." Zhang Chun's voice sounded outside the door. Zhang Chun brought the water into the house, and Zhang Qingyan left with Zhang Chun.

Yue Shumei closed the door of the study, listened to the footsteps outside the door, and then took out a handkerchief from her arms, soaked it in water, and put it on her face.

"Are you alright?" A man's voice could be faintly heard in the night.

"It's all good. You can rest assured. You can take this. A woman's voice came faintly.

"So much? Green bamboo, wait for me. I will redeem you. The man's voice was a little startled.

"I know. Let's go. The woman's voice was a little urgent.

"Take care." In the darkness of the night, the two figures hugged each other, and then quickly separated, and one of them quickly jumped off the wall and left.

"1,2,3,4......" Brother Shun sat by the window, leaning on a bean-sized oil lamp, counting the copper coins in his hand, and the copper coins still had the body temperature of green bamboo.

"It adds up to almost the same. I'll save one more meal tomorrow, and I'll be able to make it up. Brother Shun carefully strung the copper plates together with hemp rope threads, pushed away the wooden bed against the wall, and picked up a broken shovel by the wall and dug it on the ground. After a while, a jar was revealed. Brother Shun put the oil lamp on the ground, slowly lifted the jar, stroked off the soil on the lid, gently opened the jar, and looked into the jar, where there were three copper coins lying quietly. Brother Shun had a smile on his face, and he picked up the freshly skewered copper coins on the table and gently put them into the jar.

This jar is the head of his Shun brother's life, and it is all his hope. When the jar is full of ten copper coins, he can redeem the green bamboo. Luzhu said that at that time, Xu's mother only spent ten copper coins to buy her, and after so many years, ten copper coins should be enough to redeem herself.

There are still two years, and there is still time, and I will definitely prepare copper coins to redeem the green bamboo. Brother Shun secretly made up his mind, buried the jar again, restored the house to its original state, and went to bed.

"Master, you haven't been here for a while, our peony has been waiting for you!" Mother Liu of Caifeng Tower took the arm of Xu Hanyun, the richest man in Lingcheng, and walked into Caifeng Tower, "Peony!" Xu Sanye is here! ”

"Third master! You made the slave family wait so hard! Peony shook the champa and said coquettishly.
