Chapter 21: Xie Bai's Letter

Xie Heng also smiled as before: "Then senior brother wants to raise them?" ”

Xie Bai said: "Well, raise it first, it's not interesting to eat it every day, if you want to eat it one day and then slaughter it, or take it down the mountain another day to exchange money to buy rice." ”

is as cold as Xie Heng, he usually asks casually, and then there is no follow-up, but today he suddenly asked him again:

"When is the senior brother going to go down the mountain?"

Thinking that Xie Bai was also surprised that he would care about this, he was inexplicably surprised, so he asked by the way:

"Why don't you go down the mountain again in the Chinese New Year's Eve and come back for the festival in exchange for some delicious food?"

In the past, Xie Heng was only indifferent to the trip down the mountain, Xie Bai just said anything, but today he talked to him again and again, caring about this matter like never before, listening to Xie Bai's words, he raised his head and raised the corner of his lips to Xie Bai:

"Then I'll go with my brother!"

"Okay!" , Xie Bai was naturally happy to see him so eager.

Xie Heng seemed to be a little happier again, let go of his hand and changed to a tune, and his eyes were much gentler.

Chinese New Year's Eve, Xie Heng got up early in the morning to pack up, followed Xie Bai down the mountain, and arrived in the town, Xie Bai took him to change things, and he kept looking around in the lively street market.

Xie Bai couldn't understand what he was looking at, in the past, Xie Heng never cared about one person or one thing in the market, only looked at the steps under his feet.

When he arrived at the exchange shop, Xie Bai went in to change things, Xie Heng stood at the door and watched the street stalls and people, he was laughing at his behavior in his heart.

However, the next moment, he was glad that he had come, because he saw a young man holding a small red dot in his hand, and it was not the female doll of that day!

Looking at the clothes, there was still a small fish lamp in her hand, it seemed that the family was good to her, and a smile appeared between her lips unconsciously, and she walked in the direction of the little one.

When Xie Heng was about to walk to the side of the person unconsciously, a doll in a small blue cotton robe ran from the opposite side, and he was about to crash into the little red dot, but he didn't think much about catching the doll that was about to fall first.

He caught it so dangerously, just held the doll steady, but he didn't expect the other party to run away with a scream, or rushed towards the little dot behind him, seeing that the young man was helping the two, Xie Heng hurriedly retreated and hid behind and entered the shop.

As soon as he entered the house, Xie Bai had just exchanged for silver money, and when he saw Xie Heng come in, he pulled him in the shop to see if there was anything to buy, and when the two of them came out, Xie Heng looked at the place just now, and the person was already gone.

Although he couldn't do anything, seeing that the child was taken in, he finally put his mind at ease, didn't bother too much, and finally ignored Xie Bai, who kept asking him what he wanted to buy and go back to the mountain for the New Year.

"Sir..."

Bai Meixue's voice sounded in his ears, Xie Heng was called back to his senses, only to see the three people in front of him looking at him, it turned out that he lost his mind for a while, and a group of people stood in place, thinking that he didn't speak, and the two apprentices didn't dare to speak.

and that Li Tang, who has a pious visiting posture, and he doesn't dare to say much.

"Sit down first, and I'll see."

After Xie Heng came back to his senses, he finally spoke, holding the song notes handed over by the two apprentices in his hand, pointing to the tables and chairs under the bamboo pavilion, and motioning for a few people to take a seat.

Li Tang didn't know why Xie Heng suddenly lost his mind, thinking that there was something wrong with him, but he really couldn't think of any rudeness, probably he still didn't want to see the living! Besides, it's still a flat-headed ordinary person like her.

Li Tang, who was a little cowardly, was taken to the table and chair by Bai Meixue to sit down, and after Mu Qingqing sat down, the little girl in blue color followed and stood behind the master.

Xie Heng summoned the family members who were waiting in the distance to make tea and deliver refreshments in the kitchen, and then he began to read the music notes, Mu Qingqing and Bai Meixue's music notes, which were decent, without any mistakes, and they were all written very seriously.

Although Xie Heng was not very satisfied, he couldn't find fault with it, after all, comprehending this kind of nothingness could not be taught.

At this time, the people came down from the courtyard with tea trays, set the teapots, pastries and fruits on the table, and then retreated one by one.

Thinking about coming to Xie Heng, only Bai Meixue and Mu Qingqing, who were harvested in the early years, had this treatment of drinking at the same table, after all, at that time, Xie Heng was still a teenager, and the love of master and apprentice growing up together was naturally incomparable to those who came after him.

If it were those little apprentices who had been newly recruited in recent years, it would not be said that they were sitting at the same table with Xie Heng, but Xie Heng asked others to sit, and they could only scare people to kneel on the ground.

Bai Meixue was well-behaved, first poured tea for Xie Heng, and then poured it for Mu Qingqing, Mu Qingqing stretched out her hand to support the cup, thanked her with a smile, turned her head to look at Xie Heng, who was sitting upright and reading the song, her eyes swam to the slender fingers holding the songji scroll, and she hurriedly withdrew her gaze and looked back at her teacup.

Li Tang was sitting precariously, not daring to say anything, nor daring to look around, only staring down, with a white porcelain cup of light green and transparent tea in front of him.

Xie Heng finished reading the song and put it aside, then he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said to the two:

"It's okay, a few days ago, I received a few new chapters of new songs, and I have asked people to copy a few copies, and when I go back, I will take them to practice, and I will write a tune at the same time."

The two of them sat up straight and nodded.

Li Tang, who was sitting directly opposite Xie Heng, kept his head down, not daring to look up, always feeling afraid that Xie Heng's eyes would notice him, but at this time he heard Bai Meixue's voice:

"Sir, I practiced with Tang'er that day, and I also asked her to compose a piece of music, can you take a look?"

Li Tang raised his head in shock, first glanced at Xie Heng on the other side, just happened to bump into the other party's scrutinizing gaze, hurriedly lowered his head again, turned his head to the left to look at Bai Meixue, and desperately blocked it with his mouth:

"Don't... Don't don't, don't..."So anxious that Li Tang's forehead was about to sweat.

Bai Meixue just pretended not to see it, and listened to Xie Heng's slightly surprised tone:

"Oh... Let me see. ”

I saw Bai Meixue hand a page of notes in her hand that she didn't know when to Xie Heng, Xie Heng took it, opened it and saw that this was not a complete song, a few words, but a personal opinion on Xie Heng's song.

Li Tang has never written this thing, I think it was Li Tang's casual nonsense that day, and Bai Meixue went back to write it down.

Xie Heng probably understood that it was Bai Meixue's handwriting at a glance, but Xie Heng knew that this was by no means Bai Meixue's opinion, after all, the master and apprentice had been his apprentice for so many years, and he knew it best.

Looking at these words, they are not used by people who are familiar with the rhythm of music, but more like the opinions of people who know each other.

Xie Heng was surprised by Li Tang's young age, but he had such a unique opinion, and his face did not show it at all, from the first time he saw Li Tang, he never thought that one day he would reunite with this little girl in such a way.

It's just that he doesn't know why, although it has been many years, his appearance has already changed, but he feels that this baby does not have the kind of obedience that is taken in.

But in that look, there was no grasp of the color of the crowd, it was completely the kind of naughty nature that his parents spoiled, which did not make Xie Heng's distressed feeling come up.

Although she is still young now, she may be naΓ―ve and ignorant, but there are many things that are unconsciously contaminated in her growth environment, and they have little to do with her age.

Xie Heng should have read that page of notes, but he was expressionless and silent, and the two apprentices sat upright, looking like they were listening to Mr. Hou's teachings.

But Li Tang was like sitting on pins and needles, in front of Xie Heng, he was judged by the deity to see his nonsense, and he only felt ashamed, ashamed, and had an axe, in short, all the words that were ashamed of themselves should be used on her at this moment.

She really felt that this moment was too tormenting, just when Li Tang felt that she was like a steamer in this warm and cold season, Xie Heng raised his head and did not comment on Li Tang's opinion, but just asked:

"Miss Li has studied music?"

Li Tang, who was named, immediately stood up and sat upright, looked at Xie Heng with both eyes, and replied a little nervously:

"I didn't dare to speak in front of Mr., I never learned, but when I was young, by chance, I met a gentleman, and I heard him talk about it, and I was fortunate to listen to him play during that time, but I was young at the time, and I didn't understand the mystery..."

After a pause, he added:

"Later, I was just at the old gentleman in the academy in the town, and I went over to listen to his old man's piano when I had nothing to do... In addition, there is nothing else, the younger generation is ignorant, and he does not understand the rhythm of music and even speaks falsely to Mr. Music, and asks Mr. for forgiveness. ”

After speaking, he stood up and bowed to Xie Heng.

Xie Heng wanted to laugh a little, but he was used to being cold, and he couldn't laugh, so he only stretched out his hand and motioned for Li Tang to sit down, seeing that Xie Heng's face was not displeased, Li Tang sat down obediently.

Bai Meixue He had seen the naughty Li Tang so well-behaved, and secretly covered his mouth to look at Li Tang and smiled, Li Tang also quietly turned his head and flew towards Bai Meixue with a strange look.

At this moment, someone hurriedly ran to Xie Heng's side:

"Sir, the Wenfu sent someone to deliver the letter, saying that General Xie Shen ordered someone to bring it, and he is waiting in the front yard at the moment, and you need to go there in person."

Hearing the report, Rao is cold face Xie Heng also showed a look of surprise on his face at this moment, threw down a table of three juniors, and walked to the front yard quickly.

When Xie Heng came to the front yard, he saw a soldier wearing armor, and when he saw Xie Heng coming out, he was busy saluting:

"Mr. Xie, these are two letters from the General Staff and General Xiaowen." After speaking, he offered it with both hands.

Xie Heng took it, a little eager:

"I only returned to the army after the New Year's Festival, why did I suddenly revise the book, but there is a war situation?"

"Mr. Hui, it's not a war, the war in the southwest has subsided, I heard that the old general's squad returned to Beijing to report on his work, the local guard has been rectified, just waiting for everything to be delivered, General Xie was allowed to take a vacation, I think I want to go back to Chongning."

After hearing the soldier's reasoning, Xie Heng put down his nervousness, and wanted to keep someone for dinner, but the soldier said that he had just arrived in Chongning with the army in front of him, and he would go back to resume his life after handing over the letter.

After Xie Heng thanked the soldiers, he took the letter and couldn't wait to open it, Xie Bai said in the letter, probably the soldier had already explained it just now, and he could return to Chongning in half a month at most, just mentioned, saying that he had something important to tell Xie Heng in person.

As for General Xiaowen's letter, Xie Heng just opened it and read it hastily, nothing more than nonsense like before, and wanted to hear him play the piano and so on.
