Cheongpyeongju is located halfway up Ulsan. Pei Shin's main house, Ulsan Thatched Hall, is the highest, and it is connected to Gulintang for the eldest apprentice, Yunzuo Mountain House for the second apprentice, Niantai Jingshe for the third apprentice, and Qiumyeongwon for the fourth apprentice. On the lower side of the west are the bungalows, with kitchens, sewing rooms, and three guest houses.

In addition to the five masters and apprentices on the mountain, there is also a steward, a scholar with four apprentices, two children guarding the door, a cook, and a mother who does needlework. With such a large house and so few people living in it, it is natural that it is always quiet on weekdays.

Yang Qiqi was arranged to live in the needlework room with Luan's mother, and settled down in the mountains.

She had a broken shoulder blade and couldn't move easily, but she still followed Zhuo Yuqing every day to listen to Mr. Qingping's lectures.

By April, the wound on her shoulder was almost healed. As soon as she was able to move, she would get up at three o'clock every day and go to the kitchen to make a drawer of light pastries and put them in the breakfast for five people. Chen was following Pei Shin to climb to the top of Ulsan Mountain and listened to him play a song quite leisurely.

At half an hour, the four apprentices will go up the mountain before and after.

The weather is getting warmer, the mountain flowers are blooming very brightly, and the mountain is lush and vibrant. The master and apprentice spent almost all this morning on the mountain.

Sometimes Pei Xin would take a very profound book and explain it to several people; Sometimes Pei Xin will listen to the opinions of the four of them on some folk anecdotes. The content of the lecture is very broad, from astronomy, down to the ground, and arithmetic that Yang Qiqi has never learned.

After listening to the class for a month, Yang Qiqi understood why Zhuo Yuqing didn't want to let go of the emperor at home, but came to Ulsan to live this hard life.

There is really nothing in this world that Pei Xin doesn't know. What he learned and saw was not limited to temples and rivers and lakes. Wen Ke to the extremely remote and obscure works of everyone, Wu Ke to the art of war. It is as big as the way to govern the world, and as small as firewood, rice, oil and salt. What's more, on the day of the Duanyang Festival, Pei Xin gave four people a day off and asked them to go down the mountain to the market in the town to ask about the price of rice, flour, grain and oil.

Yang Qiqi is often incomprehensible and confused. I was embarrassed to disturb Zhuo Yuqing every day, so I could only read books in the afternoon or evening by lighting the lamp and boiling oil. In her previous life, she would do what a woman should do, such as cooking, being a woman, honoring her in-laws, and teaching her husband and children. But only in reading, she is not very good at it.

Seeing her hard work every day, Luan's mother couldn't help but sigh: "Girl, you can't be like those boys who show up and earn fame, why bother yourself so hard!" ”

Yang Qiqi said a little stupidly: "Who stipulated that the girl should live in the courtyard of the deep house for the rest of her life, guard the Quartet, teach her husband and children, and honor her in-laws?" ”

Luan's mother was taken aback by Yang Qiqi's shocking words, looked at Yang Qiqi like a monster, and said: "It has been like this since ancient times, the girl's family should be gentle and demure, marry a wishful man, and have a good son." In the future, she will rely on her husband and son to earn a phoenix crown for herself. Isn't it all like that! Luan's mother said this as a matter of course.

Yang Qiqi hummed perfunctorily, and didn't have the heart to refute her.

The day Luan's mother said, she could live. Not to mention how tormenting it was during the period, even in the end, I lost my life. In her life, she didn't point to her husband's son to earn her a phoenix crown. In fact, reliving a life made her feel most clearly that men are generally unreliable, and it is better to do everything than to do it yourself, and to have enough food and clothing.

Yang Qiqi worked hard like this for more than half a year, and in the spring of the eleventh year of Yonghui, she was finally able to interject a sentence in the conversation between the master and apprentice.

At this time, Pei Xin accepted two more apprentices, namely Yuan Xian, the youngest son of the Duke of Eguo, and Wei Lin, the son of the Duke of Yu. The identities of these two people are also quite strange. The Duke of Eguo is a well-known family of military generals in Dayan, and his military achievements are impressive. And Yu Guogong is one of the five auxiliary ministers of the cabinet.

These three people stomped on each other, and Dayan was shaken three times. In a sense, Pei Xin held the key points of the Great Yan Honor, the Wenchen, and the military attaché.

Yan Xi was very surprised: "This little girl is fast enough, in less than a year's effort, she can actually interject, and she still speaks in a good way!" ”

Yuan Xian and Wei Lin were both watching from the side, and when they saw that Yang Qiqi, who was younger than him, could interject a sentence or two, they were a little embarrassed.

Zhuo Yuqing smiled and said for Yang Qiqi: "This girl reads books every day with lights and boiling oil in the house, didn't she listen to Luan's mother!" She can go to the top exam! ”

Wei Lin sneered: "A little girl, what's the use of lighting a lamp and boiling oil?" I can really go to the top test! ”

Yang Qiqi laughed innocently, and said directly: "Not to mention whether you can go to the top exam, now I can interject a sentence and make Wei Gongzi blush, and even if I haven't read the books in vain these days!" ”

Hearing this, Yuan Xian clapped his hands and laughed, Wei Lin's choked face was red and white for a while, and he glared at Yang Qiqi fiercely.

Yang Qiqi sat on his small bench in a regular manner, and didn't look at Wei Lin.

When the class was over, several disciples went down the mountain together, but Yang Qiqi didn't move.

Pei Xin looked at her smart eyes and said with a smile: "Ghost girl, why don't you leave?" ”

Yang Qiqi said: "Mr. was the first to go down the mountain in the past, but now he hasn't moved, I guess, Mr. has something to tell me." ”

Pei Xin smiled, "I probably want to sit on the mountain by myself?" ”

Yang Qiqi said again: "When I answered Wei Gongzi's words just now, sir, you nodded and smiled. ”

"Oh, what does that mean?"

Yang Qiqi said with an innocent smile: "I can't explain anything, I just feel that Mr. didn't go down the mountain first, and he didn't ask a few sons to stay, maybe he has something to say to me." If Mr. has nothing to say, I will sit here and listen to you play the piano, and it will be beneficial to watch you be in a daze. ”

When Pei Xin heard this, Yang Kai folded his fan and laughed. Said three times in a row, "Ghost girl! ”

Yang Qiqi touched the bridge of his nose and laughed a little uncomfortably.

"Ghost girl, you know everything?" Pei Xin's eyes were burning, and his words seemed to be questioning, but there was still a five-point affirmative tone.

Yang Qiqi smiled and said paradoxically: "I may know everything, or I may not know anything." ”

Pei Xin held the fan bone, knocked on the palm of his hand, and said, "Ghost girl, I will accept you as a closed disciple today!" ”

Yang Qiqi was surprised and delighted, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he immediately held the tea on the table, knelt on the ground, raised his hands above his head, and said, "Disciple kowtow to the master." ”

Pei Xin smiled with satisfaction, took Yang Qiqi's tea and drank it all, and didn't forget to joke when he was about to say: "Sure enough, the tea of the female disciple is sweeter than that of the male disciple!" ”

Yang Qiqi replied with a smile: "The master accepted Qiqi as a closed disciple, but he has to lose his capital!" ”

Pei Xinyun smiled lightly, "Ghost girl, your master and I have never accepted apprentices according to our own wishes in my life." Accepting you is my own will. It's hard to buy a comfort, and it's worth it. What's more, you can cook and be a good girl, you are really a smart little girl, and you are also the daughter of the Yuguo Mansion. ”

These words were what Yang Qiqi said when he entered the mountain, Yang Qiqi laughed embarrassedly, and twisted: "Master, this is really laughing at me!" ”

The master and apprentice both laughed heartily, Yang Qiqi's heart was indescribably warm, as if it was the first time she had such a happy conversation and joke with her elders.

Hearing that Yang Qiqi had successfully apprenticed, the six senior brothers also prepared congratulatory gifts.

Only Wei Lin was very dissatisfied and complained that Pei Xin accepted Yang Qiqi so easily. Thinking of Yang Qiqi teasing himself, he was also angry, thinking about taking the opportunity to give gifts to make a good deal of playing tricks on Yang Qiqi. Let her not take herself seriously.
