Chapter Seventy-Six: Singing the Drums

Xiao Lin made a little puppet in white under the guidance of Shen Yeling and gave it to Duan Changqing, who was crazy on the side, somehow, Xiao Lin also automatically joined the team to take care of Duan Changqing, according to the inexplicable favorability of others towards Xiao Lin, Duan Changqing, a crazy man who couldn't tell right from wrong, actually looked at Xiao Lin and unconsciously got close.

Xiao Lin didn't treat him badly, gave him Bai Suzhen's puppet made by himself, and pulled it to the thread, doing the movements in the Peking Opera that Shen Yeling had taught her before.

Duan Changqing, who was given a gift, looked at this 'little Bai Suzhen' and smiled in his heart, and saw that it could still 'move', and he was even more excited.

Xiao Lin put the puppet in Duan Changqing's hand flatly: "Okay, now it's yours."

Duan Changqing took the puppet, his hands trembled a little at this time, and then he looked at Xiao Lin with disbelief and gratitude eyes, only to see Xiao Lin only put on her smiling face, and continued: "With it, don't step on the flowers at the door of Ye Lingjun's study in the future, those words were trampled by you, and they are not good-looking." There's still a pool there, and it's bad to fall down."

Xiao Lin thought that Duan Changqing was crazy and lost the consciousness of discrimination, so he treated him like a child, who knew that Duan Changqing only held the little puppet and looked stupidly and didn't know what Xiao Lin was talking about.

Xiao Lin was also silent, but he kept watching Duan Changqing caress the puppet lovingly, and Shen Yeling also came over and called Xiao Lin.

He calculated the time, and saw that Xiao Lin should also study abroad with Cheng Jiabai, but seeing that Xiao Lin didn't seem to have anything to do, he kindly ran to ask her.

Who knew that Xiao Lin was not in a hurry and straightened his clothes belt, and then said: "We are going together, but we don't want to leave a few days before the start of school, the main thing is that I am reluctant to Ye Lingjun's family and want to stay for a few more days, by the way, Ye Lingjun, do you know why Bai Jun didn't leave?"

Xiao Lin's speech was pulled to Cheng Jiabai, and her eyes looked at Shen Yeling in unison, as if only she knew this answer, and she was waiting for Shen Yeling to ask her, raising a smug expression.

Shen Yeling didn't want to know, he only cared about Luo Xiaoqi, and Cheng Jiabai beside him was not interested, the last time he was saved in the hands of Zhang Raoshun, he only had the feeling of 'smiling' like himself, and the others only left the impression of being unsociable, but he was a good boy after all.

Shen Yeling didn't want people to know his thoughts, so he also complied with Xiao Lin's wishes and asked, "Why?"

Xiao Lin eased his breath, became mysterious, leaned over to Shen Yeling's side and said carefully: "Because Jia Baijun likes his sister."

Xiao Lin's mystery was enough to make Shen Yeling feel that this liking was unnatural, and he quickly turned his head in surprise: "Yes... between a man and a woman"?

Xiao Lin seemed to have guessed that he would behave like this, so he nodded along with his question, and said in a choked voice: "Your love in China is very strange, cousins and cousins can get married, and even direct brothers and sisters can also get married."

Shen Yeling sighed and explained to Xiao Lin: "Jiabai and his sister are not biological, they can be married according to common sense, but nominally they are not allowed."

More than this name is not allowed, Cheng Jiabai honestly took it by Luo Xiaoqi's side, and gave birth to this undeserved affection, according to Luo Xiaoqi's character, can she agree?

Shen Yeling was puzzled, and then asked, "Are you sure Jiabai likes his sister?" Yours is what you listen to".

Xiao Lin replied without thinking: "It was at the class reunion half a month ago, Jia Baijun personally admitted that he was angry with a lot of girls who sent him autumn waves at that time."

She seems to know quite a lot, she is full of innocence, and she even knows about this 'sending Qiubo', but Shen Yeling has no time to take care of these, he thinks that the Cheng family is good with white children, it is really good, and the appearance is dignified.

He had to sketch Cheng Jiabai's appearance in his mind, but it was just a nodding friend, his impression of Cheng Jiabai was really little, he was crazy in his mind that the color was like a spring flower, his eyes were like a star, his nose was like a hanging gall, and his temples were like a knife... seems to add all the best looks in the world to Cheng Jiabai, Cheng Jiabai was thought of by him for a while and improved a few levels in reality, and the white jade is flawless.

He felt that his Ah Sheng should be loved by such a person, and only such a person was worthy to love her. Ah, his Ah Sheng! Someone should have loved her and taken care of her.

He sighed slowly, walked back leisurely, thinking about what it would be like to see Cheng Jiabai, and would hold his hand and tell him, 'Whether Ah Sheng likes you or not, you have to take good care of her', that is not okay If Ah Sheng doesn't like him, isn't this a deception of his feelings.

He thought about it again, if he saw Cheng Jiabai again, the difference between what he saw at that time and what he felt was simply several grades lower, would he be disappointed in Luo Xiaoqi, the only admirer. But think about it, Cheng Jiabai is actually not bad.

At this time, Xiao Lin behind him stopped him behind him, he came back from his thoughts in a panic, and replied in a daze: "Ah"?

Xiao Lin continued to ask with ignorance: "Ye Lingjun, I think it is not worth it for Jia Baijun to be angry with his sister and take away those girls who show favor to him."

Shen Yeling reacted very slowly, then smiled and 'ah', and explained: "Why is it not worth it"? He felt it was worth doing this for his Ah Sheng.

Xiao Lin shook her head, wanting to show that she was very dissatisfied with Shen Yeling's point of view, but she wanted to talk to him about another argument, only to see her eyes shake her eyes from side to side twice and said, "Could it be that Ye Lingjun can also give up the girl who showed favor to you alone."

Shen Yeling was really made to cry and laugh by Xiao Lin's questions one after another, so he simply nodded at her, and hurriedly fled from her barrageous questions.

Xiao Lin saw that pestering Shen Yeling couldn't do it, so he ran away to find Xu Man again.

Xu Man was lying on the bed sickly, looking at the shoes that had been sewn and looking, imagining the scene of Luo Xiaoqi jumping around in her shoes, and smiled from time to time, thinking that she put on her shoes as if she was sick and felt that she could get better after taking expensive medicine, it was nothing more than a joy in suffering.

Xu Man thought that Xiao Lin was coming to tell her a story again, a few days ago she gave a little puppet made by herself, she was very happy to see it, someone finally gave her a gift, she was thinking about what to give Xiao Lin.

As soon as Xiao Lin came in, he pestered her for a long time, asking her to tell her about the romantic history between him and Shen Yeling, how romantic he was, how lingering and sympathetic, she blushed for a long time and couldn't hold back a word, in the face of Xiao Lin's coquettish urging, she also smiled and pointed to the pipa hanging on the side wall, and then said: "I'll play the pipa for you."

Xiao Lin was as meticulous as silk, knowing that Xu Man deliberately took away the topic if she didn't answer, so he had to pout and nod stupidly.

Xu Man took his thin hand and put it on Xiao Lin's head and rubbed it again: "Have you ever heard of the big drum book?"

This word was unfamiliar to Xiao Lin, so she shook her head ambiguously, and her drooping hair shook like a rattle.

Xu Man smiled again and asked Xiao Lin to call Xu Ruliang in, and she was going to perform a big drum book for her.

Xu Ruliang rarely saw his master and mother come to sing the big drum book with interest, so under Xiao Lin's urging, he stupidly took the three-stringed piano he hung on the wall, and then turned his head and asked Xiao Lin uneasily: "Shi Niang's illness is better, do you have the strength to sing the drum book?"

Xiao Lin recalled Xu Man's weak face, nodded stupidly, and thought: "I should be able to sing a short part without saving my energy, it's very tiring to sing that thing."

Xu Ruliang wiped the three strings with his hand, wiped out a layer of ash, and nodded: "That's right, that thing is as laborious and laborious as my master's singing."

Xiao Lin felt a little guilty, lowered his head and wanted to go back to Xu Man to regret it: "Or tell Mrs. to stop singing."

"You're here, and there's a reason to ask people to go back and stop singing", so he picked up a good soft cloth and wiped his piano, waiting for the wiping to be halfway through, looking at Xiaolin still hesitating in place: "Do you want to go back and wait, I'll come over after wiping the piano, and count me as the closest to Shi Niang after the performance, if there is anything wrong with Shi Niang, I will stop, don't let Shi Niang endure it, this is always relieved, you go back quickly."

Xiao Lin listened to Xu Ruliang's words, then smiled, nodded at him again and again, turned around and ran away.

Xu Ruliang wiped the three-stringed piano, and then tried the sound twice, and then felt that the timbre was wrong, Xu was rusty strings, so he found a few strings from the bottom of the box, carefully installed them, and immediately looked new after the preparation of the three strings.

After a long time, he wiped the sweat from his head and thought about how long it had been since he had played the three strings, and it should have been a long time. When did he start learning Peking Opera, when did he never play the three strings.

He was originally a drum book artist in Beijing, specializing in playing the three strings for the big drum singers, and would hum two out of tune songs, originally the big drum singing was a lowly industry, and ordinary people disdained to do it, let alone choose to play the three strings, because playing the three strings was for the drum singers, and the status was lower than that of the big drums.

His family died for this reason, and he was transferred to study drama several times, and he was asked to work hard, trying to make him the protagonist with Peking Opera.

So in this way, he worshiped Shen Yeling's teacher, and devoted himself to studying Peking Opera, and the three-stringed piano was abandoned, and now at Xu Man's invitation, he is returning to his old business.

After waiting for the piano to be repaired, he didn't want to delay for a moment, and rushed directly to Xu Manna, but he never thought that he bumped into Zhang Shangzhi and Shi as soon as he arrived at the door.

He and Zhang Shangzhi almost collided with each other, and Xu Ruliang was frightened by the stone, frowned and asked, "Why are you running, running to reincarnate." Hey! What are you going to do with this thing?"

Xu Ruliang shook the three strings in his hand tightly: "The master wants to sing the big drum book, I will give her as an accompanist, if you want to see it, you will come."

Xu Ruliang didn't have time to talk to them anymore, so he left this sentence and ran away without caring about anything.

Shi and Zhang Shangzhi glanced at each other, and then went with Xu Ruliang, but before that, they also notified everyone in the family to come and see Xu Man's big drum book. Some people in the family also suddenly let go of some prejudices against Xu Man from the outside world, knowing that Xu Man could sing the big drum book, and they admired her very much.
