002. Master and apprentice

The noon sun shone warmly on the earth, and it snowed heavily overnight, and the entire capital became the world of Qiong Yao. At this time, a small sedan chair in Tsing Yi quietly left the palace and went straight to Qianmen Street.

The sedan chair stopped suddenly, and the two men in green clothes beside the sedan chair looked vigilantly at the man lying in the snow on the road ahead.

"What's wrong?" A Qingyue voice came out of the sedan car, although it was childish, but it contained seven points of coldness and three points of impatience.

"Back to the master, there is a person lying on the ground in front of me, afraid that he will die!" The man in Tsing Yi replied respectfully.

"Afraid of it? Is it dead or not? As he spoke, a pair of soap boots stepped out of the curtain, and the sedan chair driver was busy lowering the sedan bar and waiting for the master to get off the sedan chair. The person who got out of the sedan chair was a teenager, a sauce-red brocade robe covered with a black embroidered gold thread lamb wool trimmed Baturu vest, a pair of dark eyes on the magnetic white face, looking ahead with inquiry, pursing his lips, ignoring the pedestrians on the street looking at him, he walked forward, the man in green clothes stretched out his hand at his waist tightly, and hurriedly followed behind him.

"Fourth brother, wait for me!" A childish voice came out of the sedan chair, and the child who got down first turned to the front of the sedan car, lifted the sedan curtain, and took out a three- or four-year-old child from inside. The child put his arm around the boy's neck and said with a coquettish smile: "Fourth brother, I'll go too!" The boy smiled when he heard his brother speak, "Yes, thirteenth brother." He took his brother forward and stopped in front of the man who was lying on the ground.

This two children, one big and one young, is today's fourth elder brother Aixin Jueluo. Yinzhen and the thirteenth elder brother love Xinjueluo. Yinxiang.

The man in the suit flipped over the body of the man lying on the ground and reached under his nose with his fingers. He raised his head and said to the fourth elder brother: "Master, he is asleep and not dead, but he is always lying on the snow like this, and he will really freeze to death after a while!" The fourth elder brother nodded, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Save him!" The man in the strong suit replied "yes", bent down to resist from the ground, and the man walked towards the largest restaurant in the capital on Qianmen Street, the fourth elder brother led the thirteenth elder brother to follow behind, and the other man in the strong suit followed behind the two.

When the group arrived at the restaurant, the restaurant was lively, and several people entered the restaurant, and the guy walked towards him, leading people upstairs and saying, "Master, please go upstairs!" ”

The man in the suit said, "Call your shopkeeper to wait!" The one who ran the hall was busy: "I'm sorry master, our owner has something, the shopkeeper is not there, you have something to do!" The man in the suit stared at him, as if he was about to get angry, and the fourth brother who went upstairs in front of him coughed lightly, and the man in the suit was sullen and stopped talking.

The guy led a few people to the private room on the second floor, under the window of the private room is a fire kang, under the kang is a stove, and there are tables and chairs on the ground. The man in the suit put the person on his back on the kang and leaned on it, then turned back to the door and guarded the door with another man in the suit.

The guy poured tea for the two of them while stabbing the stove with his hands and feet, and said with a smile: "What the two masters eat, as long as you can order it, we will make it here!" ”

The fourth elder brother glanced at the thirteenth elder brother, and saw that he looked around curiously, "Pick up a few plates of the lighter dishes you are good at here, and then get a pot of wine, the wine should be hot." ”

"Okay, you wait, it'll be right away!" As he spoke, he threw the towel he had just finished wiping the table onto his shoulder, then turned around and went downstairs.

When the fourth elder brother looked back at the thirteenth elder brother, he saw that he was stabbing the fire with fire tongs, his face was covered with a layer of ash, and his little face was red in the firelight. Walked over and bent down to pick up his younger brother, "Thirteenth brother, sit here, the stove is hot, stay away!" So saying, he sat down on the kang, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe his hands and face, and then lifted his robe and sat down beside his brother.

The guy really acted quickly, and he had already carried a large plate upstairs when he spoke, and the fourth elder brother looked at it, it was four dishes and a pot of wine, the dish was a plate of steamed carp, a bowl of stuffed meatballs, a plate of Longjing shrimp, and a pot of venison stewed pheasant, and the wine was Xinghuacun wine.

"It's hard for you to eat carp and shrimp in the winter!"

"That is, at this time, you can only eat this in the capital." The guy said it proudly.

"You can eat the imperial meal!" The thirteenth elder brother was not convinced, and after speaking, he puffed out his cheeks and looked at the guy.

"That daring, master, we can eat everything here except for the imperial meal." The guy laughed and changed his words.

"What's wrong with your host? Isn't this shopkeeper the proprietor? "The fourth elder brother didn't want the two of them to continue talking, for fear that the thirteenth brother would say something wrong. The guy read countless people, and saw that although the person who asked the question was young, he had a majesty, and at first glance he was from a rich and noble family, so he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the master, our restaurant is the property of the Hu family, and our shopkeeper is Hu Ye's small follower." Yesterday, the daughter of the Hu family died, and the shopkeeper went to help today. The fourth elder brother nodded, and said softly, "Hmm! He pointed to the man and said, "Can you wake him up?" ”

The runner agreed, poured two bowls of hot wine into the unconscious man's stomach, and the unconscious man's face was gradually bloody, and the runner said: "This guest officer will not be frozen for a long time, and he will wake up when he speaks." The fourth elder brother nodded, waved his hand and ran down the hall.

At this time, the thirteenth elder brother had taken an emerald green jade flute from the waist of the man in black and fiddled with it in his hand, and he didn't know the essentials, the fourth brother reached out and took it from his brother's hand, put it under his lips and played, and only blew it, the unconscious man heard the flute, his body trembled slightly, and then slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw that it was a teenager playing, his face showed a look of relief.

Seeing that he was awake, the fourth elder brother handed over the flute, and the man took it and looked at it lovingly, then put the flute close to his lips and began to play.

After he finished playing, the fourth elder brother said: "This gentleman, you play this flute so well, you play it so well, the loose flute of 'Rouqin Songdi' doesn't know how well it plays!" ”

When the man heard the words 'Rouqin Songdi', his originally slightly gloomy face was covered with a layer of haze.

"Sir, can you teach me this?" The thirteenth elder brother looked at the flute in the man's hand and said with envy.

"Do you really want to learn? Do you like flutes? The man looked at the three- or four-year-old child, and saw that his tiger eyes were full of eagerness, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Well, I like it, if Mr. is willing to teach me, I will definitely blow better than Mr. The thirteenth elder brother looked at the fourth brother as he spoke, and seeing that he had no different meanings, he stood up hurriedly and said to the gentleman: "The student sees the master!" ”

"Hehe, you're really impatient, you don't know who I am!" The man smiled and stretched out his hand to help the thirteenth elder brother up, and said, "Remember, my name is Ding Xuesong." ”

The fourth elder brother was stunned when he heard him report his name, "It turns out that you are Mr. Songdi!" ”

Mr. Songdi nodded slightly to the fourth brother, then turned around and asked the thirteenth elder brother: "What's your name, you have to let the master know who you teach!" ”

"My name is Aisin Jueluo. Yinxiang! "The thirteenth elder brother reported his name crisply before the fourth elder brother could stop it.

"Are you the thirteenth elder brother?" Mr. Songdi was taken aback, glanced at the thirteenth elder brother, and then turned back to look at the fourth elder brother, "Are you?" ”

"I'm Aisin Jueluo. Yinzhen, my thirteenth brother likes to learn to play the flute with Mr., so I will be annoyed by Mr. Lao. The fourth elder brother thought that the thirteenth brother had already reported his name, and there was no need for him to hide it.

When Mr. Songdi heard the words of the fourth elder brother, he hurriedly waved his hand: "Wait! May I ask the fourth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother is so young, it is not easy to leave the palace, even the fourth elder brother can't enter and leave the palace at will, right? ”

The fourth elder brother listened to Mr. Songdi's words, was slightly stunned, and said: "Sir, don't doubt it, after returning to the palace, I will explain today's events to Huang Amma, and when the time comes, I will have to ask Mr. to enter the palace." ”

"By all means, the grass people are used to it, and they can't stand the constraints of etiquette, please forgive the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother, and the grass people will retire." After speaking, Songdi thrust the flute into his belt, stood up and was about to leave.

"Don't go!" The thirteenth elder brother didn't care about people's small strength and weakness, stretched out his hand and grabbed Mr. Songdi's shirt, turned his head to look at the fourth elder brother, and said aggrievedly: "Fourth brother, you help me keep Mr., I want to learn the flute with him." The fourth elder brother glanced at his younger brother, raised his eyes and said to Mr. Songdi: "Sir is indeed a person of informality, that is, I begged Huang Ama to allow the thirteenth brother to go out of the palace to learn the flute from Mr. Sir, please sit, please use some wine and food, it is cold outside, and Mr. has no food in his stomach, how can he resist the cold? ”

"Fourth Brother Xie!" Mr. Songdi thought for a moment and sat down again.

"Why is the gentleman so down? Sleeping on the street? The fourth elder brother was a little curious about the haggard man in front of him, according to the name of 'Mr. Songdi', he would not be hungry, but why would he sleep on the snow?

"Hehe, the grass people have been in this city for a few days, they are really tired and tired, if it weren't for the help of the two elder brothers, the grass people would inevitably freeze to death, and the grass people thanked the two elder brothers for saving their lives." After Ding Xuesong finished speaking, he stood up and saluted the two elder brothers.

The fourth elder brother saw that he was sincere, but the life-saving kindness to himself and the thirteenth brother was just such an ordinary courtesy, so he believed what he just said, 'I don't like etiquette constraints', this pine flute sat in front of his own elder brother, without the slightest restraint, knowing that it was an elder brother who was going to be taught and did not have the slightest joy, he was really a person with arrogance, and he couldn't help but love Ding Xuesong very much in his heart.

"Oh? Tired and asleep? How many days has the gentleman been in this city? Why is that? Could it be that the gentleman is looking for something? "The fourth elder brother has a heart and mind to help him.

"It's not about looking for it, it's about forgetting!" A long sigh was suppressed in his throat.

"Forgot?" The fourth elder brother doesn't understand, how can it be? How many days in the city did you walk not to look for it, but to forget?

"The fourth elder brother is still too young, you will understand later." Ding Xuesong seemed reluctant to say more, and responded to this sentence in a low voice.

The fourth elder brother nodded half-clearly, and raised his hand to hold the cup, "Mr. Yinzhen Jing!" ”

Mr. Songdi covered his cup, "The fourth elder brother toasts the grass and the people's wine, how can this be made?" ”

"Mr. is my thirteenth brother's master, is Yinzhen's master, the thirteenth brother is too young to drink, I'll toast Mr. three glasses for him!"

The two of them were still arguing here, and the thirteenth elder brother had already stood up and held a glass of wine and said, "Fourth brother, I will toast the master and drink it myself!" With that, he tilted his neck and drank the wine in his glass. The thirteenth elder brother went down his throat with a glass of wine, and couldn't help but frown and cough.

The fourth elder brother and Songdi looked at each other and smiled, Mr. Songdi picked up the water cup and held the head of the thirteenth elder brother to feed him, and said to the fourth elder brother with a smile: "I didn't expect that the thirteenth elder brother is so young, he has such a heroic spirit, it's rare!"

"Sir, don't look at my thirteenth brother, dare to act, but don't lose to others!"

"Well, it's bold enough." Songdi really likes the thirteenth elder brother now.

"Where does the gentleman live?"

"The grass people don't have a fixed place yet."

"Oh, this is also easy to do, Mr. will stay in this restaurant for the time being, presumably they also have a place for people to stay, after I explain to the emperor Amma, I will choose a place for Mr. to live, what does Mr. think?"

"That's it, that's fine!"

Coming out of the Hui Peng Residence, it was already dark, and the two guards walked from the sedan chair to the palace, and the sedan chair man's feet hurriedly rolled across the ground, making the snow creaking and creaking.

The cold wind invaded the sedan chair, the thirteenth elder brother was smart, and the fourth elder brother hurriedly reached out and took his younger brother in his arms.

"Fourth brother, Mr. Songdi won't leave by himself, don't teach me." The thirteenth elder brother raised his head and asked the fourth brother worriedly.

"No, in my opinion, Mr. Songdi must have had some difficulties before he came to the capital. If he wanted to leave, he wouldn't have agreed to teach you just now. Mr. is very upright and not a person who tends to be inflammatory, do you like him, thirteenth brother? ”

"Hmm. I like him, fourth brother, you can help him. The thirteenth elder brother retracted into the arms of the fourth brother, and he was much more relieved.

"Thirteenth brother, don't worry, if you can help him, the fourth brother will help." The fourth elder brother nodded, and then said: "I sneaked out of the palace today, and I actually recognized a master, the thirteenth brother, are you happy?" ”

"Well, happy! I hope the emperor doesn't know! ”

"I'm not afraid to know, there's a fourth brother here. And you have to let Huang Ama know that you have recognized a master, and then you can go out of the palace to learn the flute in the future. ”

"Yes. Then tell Huang Ama. The master is mine, and Huang Ama wants to be beaten and punished, and I admit it, as long as I learn the flute. ”

"Thirteenth brother, our brothers will bear it together!"

"Good! Fourth brother! The brothers looked at each other and smiled, their hearts full of warmth.

Two days later, someone from the palace came to settle down for Mr. Songdi.

Since then, Mr. Songdi has stayed in the capital as the master of the Thirteenth Elder Brother.
