At this time, Guoan stood outside the pavilion for a long time and could not enter, wandering back and forth. Taigong looked at Guoan outside the pavilion and said, "An'er, you come in." ”

Only then did Guoan enter the pavilion and stand up to everyone present, and said, "Grandpa, father, aunt and cousin, sir." ”

Yu Meng looked at Guoan and smiled: "This is Guoan." ”

"It's my cousin Guoan, and my uncle and cousin have always been fine."

"Okay, okay," Taigong looked at the few pages of paper in Guoan's hand, and asked, "An'er, what are you holding in your hand?" ”

"This is a script written by my grandson, my grandfather's birthday is approaching, and I wrote a book of "Zhao's Orphans" and asked all the elders here to take a look at it to see if it can be used," After speaking, he stepped forward and presented a few pages of "Zhao's Orphans" with both hands. Taigong took a few pages of "Zhao's Orphans" in Guoan's hand, read them for a while, and handed them to everyone around him to read. After that, Taigong smiled and said: "I can use it, my grandson's big gift grandpa accepted it, and I like it too." ”

Passed to Jie Hao's hand, Jie Hao picked it up in his hand and looked at it carefully, he had some doubts in his heart, raised his head and asked: "An'er, why do you write "Zhao's orphan"? ”

Guoan turned to face Jie Hao, bowed, and said: "Back to my father's words, the child has carefully read the origin of our surname He in the "Hundred Family Names", one of the origins comes from a branch of the surname "Han", the younger brother of King Zhou Cheng, Tang Shuyu's descendant of Han Wang'an, was later destroyed by Qin, and his descendants were scattered all over the country, and the descendants of the Han surname in the Yangtze River and Huaihe River basin were later surnamed "He" because of the proximity of the pronunciation of the local "Han" and "He". So why write "Zhao's orphan"? Then let's start from this historical background, in the late Spring and Autumn Period, in the third year of Jin Jinggong (597 BC), the Jin State Doctor Tu Anjia, who served as the Sikou, tried to make a rebellion to control the power of the Jin State and decided to eliminate the Zhao power, so under the pretext that Zhao Dun's brother Zhao Chuanzeng assassinated Jin Linggong, and the responsibility lay with Zhao Dun, so he sent troops to attack the Zhao family without authorization behind the back of Jin Jinggong, and killed Zhao Shuo, Zhao Tong, Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Yingqi. Zhuang Ji, the sister of Jin Jinggong, Zhao Shuo's wife, gave birth to a man at this critical time, and this man was later Zhao Wu. When Zhao Wu was fifteen years old, with the efforts of Han Ju, the doctor of the Jin Kingdom, and others, Jin Jinggong redressed the unjust prison for Zhao's Zhaoxue, sent troops to destroy Tu'an Jia and wiped out his family, and cut down the grass and eradicated the roots. Zhao Wu was appointed as the doctor, and the Zhao clan was restored. Our surname "He" is a descendant of the Jin State Doctor Han Ju, and it is appropriate to write this "Zhao orphan" to celebrate his grandfather's birthday. ”

The old gentleman sat aside, looked at Guoan with a smile, and said, "Guoan has an amazing talent for writing, but he is not suitable for fame. ”

We all know that the He family doesn't like Guoan very much, because Guoan is not good at communication and rarely speaks, and his personality is very withdrawn, unlike Guozhi, which is loved by his family, including this Yu Meng. So Yu Meng said: "What about Zhi'er?" Sir, he is a straight man under him, he won't detour around the bend, if he has something to say, do you think Zhi'er is suitable for gaining fame? ”

"Guozhi has been lively and active since he was a child, and he is martial, and if he grows up with a little training, he will become a generation of grandmasters. Coupled with the fact that he has been studious since he was a child and has an excellent memory, it is not a problem to gain fame. ”

Guoan stood up and saluted one by one, and said, "Grandpa, father, sir, aunt and cousin, the child has retired first." ”

After finishing speaking, he slowly withdrew, Taigong and the others looked at Guoan and exited the pavilion, and then Taigong smiled: "This kid has a personality and doesn't like to join in the fun." ”

Qiu Hongru, the owner of the theater, sat on the Taishi chair as usual, smoked a few big cigarettes, and a cup of tea was placed on the desk next to him. Take a few puffs as if in the clouds, there is an ethereal feeling, then put the cigarette bag and pot on the desk, drink a few sips of tea and rinse your mouth, and then swallow it. The monkey cubs below are practicing their singing. Qiu Hongru said: "Qiu Shaobai, you come out." ”

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old child stood up and stepped forward and said, "Father." ”

"There are no fathers and sons here, only masters and disciples, you know?" Qiu Hongru was very stern.

"The child has written it down, Master," Qiu Shaobai is respectful and afraid of his strict father, his father has high requirements for him, and at the same time is also very strict, the so-called stick can become a talent, and over time it is natural to be afraid, then Jing is that his father became a famous actor in the capital in his early years, and became popular all over the country because of the battle of singing Sword Pavilion.

"Well, just write it down," after finishing speaking, he pondered for a long time, took a sip of tea, and said, "Sing an oath to King Qi to defend against the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms under the Sword Pavilion." ”

Shaobai's feet were in a figure-eight, his big feet stepped away, and he made a gesture of lifting his sword with one hand, and said, "Ah! Ah~, General Yu followed General Ben out of the city to defend against the enemy outside the city. ”

"King Qi, don't go out of the city rashly," Qiu Hongru stepped down on one leg and looked up at his upper path.

Shaobai picked up his beard with one hand, pulled out his sword with the other, and scolded: "Persuader behead." ”

Qiu Hongru stood up and said: "No, no, it's not expressive enough, King Qi is the head of all the generals, and he is not angry and arrogant," and then his eyes were round, and his voice was like a macro bell, and he said: "The persuader is killed." ”

No matter how Shaobai interprets this paragraph, he is still not so satisfied, he dragged Shaobai off his pants with one hand and slapped him with a cigarette pouch rod. At this time, Shaobai was still young, and he only knew that his buttocks were very painful, and he was crying. The little disciples next to him all knelt down and begged for mercy, saying, "Master, you can spare Senior Brother." ”

"Do you know why the teacher is so strict with you? Because you want to become a horn in the future, a famous horn, if you want to be different from ordinary people, you have to put in more effort than ordinary people, suffer more than ordinary people, and suffer more torture than ordinary people without destroying your ambitions. At this time, Erbao and Taigong's niece and granddaughter stood at the gate of this theater, and they didn't know when they entered, and after entering, they knocked on the open door.

"Who are you two? Why are you here? ”

Erbao was about to step forward to report his identity, but was stopped by Shuqian behind him. At this time, Yu Shuqian was a little uneven, and said, "Since the little brother has already admitted his mistake, why do you still beat him?" ”

"This is our family's housework, it's inconvenient for the little girl to say this," Hongru was still kind and pleasant, and he didn't get angry or verbally provoked at all to this little girl, so quietly, it can be seen that he is comfortable in the face of such a reproach from the younger generation.

"You, you," Yu Shuqian didn't know how to deal with it at this time, and pretended to be angry. Erbao stood up and debuted: "Come down to find Boss Qiu." ”

"The old man is Qiu Hongru, I don't know what the two of you are looking for the old man?"

"Under is He Yuan's subordinate He Erbao, this is Yu Shuqian, the grandnephew of the grandfather, that is, the niece of my lord, three days later, the grandfather's birthday hereby invites Boss Qiu."

"It turned out that it was invited by the princess, please come into the house and talk in detail."

"Okay, let's go into the room and talk about it," Qiu Hongru invited Erbao into the hall to speak, leaving only Shuqian and Shaobai sitting on the stone steps at the gate. The juniors and disciples stood aside, and one of them stepped forward and said, "Senior brother, let's go back to the room first." ”

"Well, you guys should go back first."

Only Shaobai and Shuqian were left sitting on the stone steps, and at first the two of them didn't say a word, and Shaobai who was sitting next to him was red, and even a pair of ears were red, so he didn't know what to say? Shuqian, who was sitting next to her, finally spoke and said, "You, are you still in pain?" ”

"What do you say? What still hurts? At this time, Shaobai looked at Shuqian and asked.

"Stupid, of course it's your ass," Shuqian laughed secretly after finishing her words.

"It doesn't hurt."

"Your master is very fierce to you."

Shaobai didn't know what he was thinking at this time? is absent-minded about Shuqian in front of her. Maybe he was thinking about how good it would be if time could stop or pass a little slower! Although in this short period of time, all the pressure, including the words that his father said to him, was forgotten and forgotten.

"What are you thinking?" Shuqian looked at Shaobai as if she didn't react, so she asked.

"No, I didn't think about it."

"I'm asking you, you're not paying attention," Shuqian seemed to be angry and ignored him.

"I'm sorry," Shaobai just looked up at the sky, sighed and said with some self-reproach: "I'm sorry, Shaobai made you angry." ”

"I'm asking you, why is your master so fierce to you?"

"He is both my father and my master, and he doesn't know who my mother is. Whenever I asked about my mother in front of my father, my father would beat me, beat me hard, and then reprimanded me, you will become a horn in the future, a famous horn in the capital, and you are not allowed to mention my mother's affairs, only this is the only way out for me, and since then I have never mentioned my mother in front of my father, but I am silently worried in my heart. ”

"Why is your father like this?"

"I don't know about this," After a short time, Erbao stood in front of Shuqian and said, "Miss, we can go." ”

Shaobai stood up and looked at their departing backs, caught up and said, "My name is Qiu Shaobai." ”

"Yu Shuqian." Shaobai chased them to the door, watched them get into the carriage, and left quickly. And Shaobai stood at the door for a long time and couldn't leave, and he was a little reluctant to let her go. These disciples of his stood behind him and said, "Senior brother, we should leave, otherwise we will be scolded by the master again." ”

"No, you guys go first."
