[Chapter Word Count:3413 Last Updated:2015-04-1608:00:00.0]

On the second floor, in an elegantly decorated pavilion full of contemporary celebrity calligraphy and paintings, the rich Guanyin tea wafted out of the refreshing aroma, Yun Lan raised his hands lightly, washed tea, brewed tea, made tea, the action was beautiful and skillful, and in just a few blinks of an eye, a cup of amber liquid was sent to everyone.

"It smells so good." Xu Xiu took a sip with the teacup in both hands, but felt that his mouth was full of fragrance, which penetrated his heart and lungs.

"If the sister of the Xu family likes it, my sister will give you a pound when she leaves." Sister Lan smiled slightly.

"Sister Lan is so generous, but it's useless, I can't ask for it. Besides, an identity like mine is a waste of good tea. Although Xu Xiu said that his identity was humble, he had a happy smile on his face, and said expectantly: "Sister Lan, tell me, what happened to my eldest brother last night?" Why did the sisters downstairs who served tea seem to be so excited to see him? ”

Father Xu also pricked up his ears, but Qin Baichuan didn't care, and drank several cups of tea in a row like a whale swallowing a cow.

"Mr. Qin didn't sue you?" Sister Lan was a little surprised.

"Don't you know this person, big brother? If you can't say anything clearly, it will make people worry. Xu Xiu looked at Qin Baichuan and bowed his head shyly.

"That's right...... Sister of the Xu family, I blame my sister for this. Sister Lan smiled with a look of shame on her face: "At noon yesterday, Su Muqing from Jiangling came to Wangjiang Tower and asked me to accompany me by name. When drinking tea, Su Gongzi's words were light-hearted, and he had thoughts about me, so I couldn't entangle me in any way, so I secretly sent someone down to invite Mr. Qin upstairs. ”

Sister Lan smiled apologetically and continued: "Originally, my idea was simple, I just wanted to ask Mr. Qin to come up and spoil his interest, and then I would find an excuse to get out...... Didn't expect ......"

Sister Lan didn't hide anything, and told everything that happened in Wangjiang Tower last night. Xu Xiu listened like a drunken person, when Sister Lan talked about Qin Baichuan's "Song of the Goose", Xu Xiu applauded, when it came to Su Muqing's insult to the eldest brother, Xu Xiu's little face was so angry that when it came to Qin Baichuan's quotation of Buddhist scriptures to refute Su Muqing's speechlessness, Xu Xiu jumped up directly from his seat.

When it came to Qin Baichuan's "plan" to agree to Su Muqing's proposed competition, Xu Xiu was secretly anxious, when he heard that Qin Baichuan actually took his life as a gambling contract, Xu Xiu was angry and annoyed, hating this big brother for being so ignorant, for a Wangjianglou, for a Sister Lan, he didn't even want his life? Sister Lan has a good respect for her father and daughter today, which was exchanged for her life by the eldest brother!

"What was the end result? Xiao Qin won? Daddy Xu also heard the turmoil in his heart, Qin Baichuan did not retreat in the face of the talent, and his witty words were pressing step by step, although he didn't see the scene at that time, but Daddy Xu still couldn't help but feel a feeling of blood boiling! Qin Baichuan, this is simply a vicious breath for all the storytellers!

"Then Su Muqing and Chu Xuan entered the room and talked secretly for a long time, and finally came up with a couplet, called 'Watching the plum blossoms and sweeping the snow alone'. This Shanglian has lofty intentions, and I Yunlan has read a lot of poetry books to myself, but I have been thinking hard and meditating, searching my intestines and scraping my stomach, but I have never been able to get it right. Just when I thought I was going to lose, Mr. Qin said lightly, 'Yi Yi Yi Mountain Dancing Green Stream', which won the applause of the whole house, and even Su Muqing was surprised inexplicably. ”

Xu Xiu's breathing accelerated in vain, clenched her little fist tightly, and stared at her eldest brother with beautiful eyes, if it weren't for the presence of her father and Sister Lan, the little girl would have even been ready to throw herself into Qin Baichuan's arms and give her all to him.

"Later, it was Mr. Qin's turn to ask the question, hey...... I'm afraid this story will be unforgettable for me in this life......" Sister Lan's face suddenly rose with a sense of amazement, telling the story of "Lilacs", only said that Father Xu sighed, and Xu Xiu burst into tears. Sister Lan finally said: "Mr. Qin strokes the piano and makes music, the melody is mournful and turbulent. It's a pity that although that little song is catchy, the weird tune Yun Lan has never heard of, and it is really difficult to imitate. ”

"Baichuan not only knows how to touch the qin, but even Boss Yun is difficult to imitate?" Father Xu's eyes changed when he looked at Qin Baichuan, and he no longer dared to call himself a storyteller.

"Daddy Xu, let's call me Xiao Qin, suddenly call me Baichuan, I think it's weird." Qin Baichuan would not look down on Daddy Xu because he could write poems with both hands and play a little tune, and said with a smile: "This time, you should always believe in my ability to make money, right?" ”

"Mr. Qin, is it possible that there is any arrangement?" Sister Lan's business sense is extremely keen, so she asked first.

"There is no arrangement, I just want to take in a few apprentices." Speaking of this, Qin Baichuan was still a little depressed: "It's just good to say, Daddy Xu doesn't want to find someone for me." ”

"With the talent of the master, it is not easy to accept apprentices?" Before Qin Baichuan's words fell, the curtain of the box door was opened, and Chu Xuan, wearing a luxurious robe and holding a folding fan, walked in proudly.

"Ahh Dasong women's doors are not allowed to go out of the second door, and they are not allowed to be in the same room with strange men, so after seeing Chu Xuan, Xu Xiu exclaimed in surprise, like a frightened little rabbit hiding behind Qin Baichuan.

The status of the scholar is noble, and Daddy Xu is even more unbearable, he accidentally knocked over the teacup when he stood up in a hurry, and his face was flushed.

Just when Father Xu thought that this scholar would humiliate their father and daughter with his identity and let them roll downstairs, he didn't expect the scholar to tidy up his clothes, walk up to Qin Baichuan and kneel on one knee, clasp his hands into fists, and his face was full of respect: "Disciple Chu Xuan, I have seen the master." ”

"Ga-" At first glance, seeing Chu Xuan's movements, and hearing his words again, Father Xu only felt that the sky was thundering in his head, and he almost fainted. Isn't it old and dizzy? A dignified reader actually knelt down and saluted the storyteller? I'm going, the world is crazy.

"Daddy Xu, sister of the Xu family, you don't need to be afraid." Sister Lan said with some embarrassment: "I forgot to say it just now, it was Mr. Chu Xuan who competed with Mr. Qin yesterday, and after Mr. Chu won the victory, Mr. Chu Gongzi also worshipped Mr. as a teacher in public." ”

"Hiss-" Father Xu gasped spinelessly, the master in this era is Dad, and he can barely be regarded as Qin Baichuan's father-in-law, so to speak...... This well-dressed and talented Chu Xuan, isn't it his grandchildren?

At this moment, Father Xu was very proud.

"Chu Xuan, there are no outsiders here, don't be so polite, annoying." Qin Baichuan didn't really care about the status of master and apprentice, but seeing that Father Xu's eyes on him had changed, he also had a feeling of being secretly refreshed.

"Yes, Master!" Chu Xuan didn't dare to be careless, and after standing up, he saluted Father Xu and Xu Xiu in turn: "The junior Chu Xuan is reckless and has disturbed the two, please don't be surprised by the old gentleman and young lady." ”

"Son, please get up quickly, the little old man will never dare to bear it." The reader apologized in person, which is something that I never dreamed of! That fluttering feeling made Daddy Xu feel that he was already in the clouds, and even Sister Lan, who was unattainable before, didn't seem to be terrible in his eyes. "It's all your own people, don't engage in these false courtesies, your head is big." Qin Baichuan shook his head impatiently, pointed to the stool opposite, and said, "Since you're here, Chu Xuan, you can also sit down." We are almost the same age, don't have a master, call me Brother Qin or Baichuan in the future. ”

"Qin, Brother Qin......" Chu Xuan tentatively changed his title, and seeing that Qin Baichuan was not unhappy, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The title can be changed, but there is no place for a disciple to sit in front of the master." You continue to chat, Chu Xuan pours tea for you. ”

Chu Xuan said that he would do it, and filled the teacups of several people with water. Qin Baichuan and Sister Lan didn't think there was anything, but Daddy Xu was so excited that he almost cried, Glory Ancestor, Glory Ancestor! Xu Xiu didn't have any special expression, but his eyes were staring at Qin Baichuan even more unblinkingly, and there were thousands of tenderness surging in his heart.

"Brother Qin, you just said that you want to openly accept apprentices?" Chu Xuan stood with his hands in his hands and said with a smile: "I have a few friends with me, we talked all night when I went back last night, I explained to them the reason for the competition, but there are a few people who envy Chu Xuan's chance, and they also want to worship the eldest brother." ”

"It's fake to worship under my door, I want to learn a few stories, hum a few songs, and then go to the Qinglou to show off, it's true to deceive the Oiran and lose his body, right?" Qin Baichuan smiled.

"It seems that Brother Qin is also a master, and you guessed it." Chu Xuan's face burned like fire, but he didn't dare to lie in front of Qin Baichuan.

"It's a good idea to learn and sell now." It is a man's nature to pick up girls, Qin Baichuan had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and a brilliant idea came to mind: "Sue your friends, I don't want them to go out and ruin my reputation in the future, so I won't take them as apprentices." Even if you do anything out of the ordinary in the future, I will expel you from the school. ”

"Chu Xuan doesn't dare!" Chu Xuan hurriedly saluted, his worship of the storyteller as a teacher has become a laughing stock for many people, if he is expelled from the division again, then Jiangling will have no place for him.

"Do your friends really want to learn Lilacs?" After finishing the foreshadowing, Qin Baichuan narrowed his eyes and asked again.

"It's nature." Chu Xuan replied respectfully: "Not only my friends, but even some Qinglou Liuxiang have also let out the wind and want to learn from the eldest brother." ”

Qin Baichuan grinned, Sister Lan also mentioned it just now, but he didn't take it to heart, and it wasn't until Chu Xuan said it that he noticed: "Although I can't accept them as apprentices, I can pass on "Lilacs" to you, and you can teach them again." ”

"Huh? Brother Qin, you ...... Willing to teach me? As a scholar, Chu Xuan usually pays the most attention to etiquette and etiquette, but at this time, his face was full of shock, and his voice seemed to tremble. In the monotonous ode, he knows better than anyone the influence of "Lilacs".

"You worship me as a teacher, I can't hide it." Qin Baichuan smiled treacherously: "However, I'm not a white sect, don't I have friends to learn?" You teach them, but they have to pay for it if they want to learn, you know what I mean? ”

"There is the truth of master and apprentice, but there is no name of master and apprentice, even if those people affect Brother Qin's reputation in the future, they have nothing to do with you!" Chu Xuan's analysis was also thorough: "Dare to ask the eldest brother, how much silver is appropriate?" ”

Qin Baichuan really didn't think about this question, and tentatively stretched out five fingers.

"Five hundred taels?" Chu Xuan frowned at first, then gritted his teeth and said, "Five hundred taels is five hundred taels!" ”

Nima!

Not to mention that Daddy Xu's head buzzed and he almost fainted directly, and Qin Baichuan almost fell to the ground with his butt. Just kidding, Lao Tzu just plagiarized a song, and it was enough to collect five taels of silver!

"Brother Qin, I have one more question. Do I charge five hundred taels for each person I teach, or do I gather them together and collect a total of five hundred taels? Chu Xuan looked solemn and asked.

"Altogether, altogether." Qin Baichuan coughed again and again, in the end, he still underestimated the ability of Da Song's rich second-generation loser, he had already known that he was still talking about Mao's books, and the apprentices who collected Mao could directly teach them to sing.
