DadaDaDa -

The crisp and rhythmic sound of percussion suddenly wafted in everyone's ears. They turned their heads to find the source of the sound, but found nothing. The boos died down.

The same sound echoed in Peony's ear. She is very familiar with this tune, it is a famous song played by the ensemble of pipa and drums - "Breaking the Formation".

But how could someone suddenly start playing a tune?

Bai Yu's deep voice sounded in her ears: "Go get the pipa!" she subconsciously wanted to do so, and as soon as she turned around, Liu Wanzhi had already handed over her pipa.

"You should know how to do this song!"

She looked at Bai Yu and saw him sitting cross-legged on the roof of the blue-tiled house, his hands rising and falling, just in time to close the rhythm of the percussion in his ears.

So, he was saving the scene for himself, and a warm and sour feeling surged through her heart. She didn't have time to think about it, the drum solo was coming to an end, and it was time for the pipa to enter.

The water sleeves she wore today were very long, and they were not suitable for playing the lute. Fortunately, this water sleeve is made of thin silk and is extremely delicate. She simply ripped it off.

The sound of cracking silk was followed by the noisy sound of the lute.

The pipa is a musical instrument in the Western Desert, with a fierce atmosphere, and the song "Breaking the Array" is the music of battlefield killing. In a trance, the listener seemed to be taken back to the immortal and demon battlefield of the Iron Horse Glacier.

Bai Yu's accompaniment gave Peony an inexplicable sense of reassurance. Her fingers were like white butterflies flying up and down. The thin man and the slender strings played a dense sound of gold and iron clashing.

The horse's hooves are urgent, the bowstrings are groaning, the swords and guns are ringing, the war drums are urging, and the killing is fast!

In the audience, a timid child hid behind his mother and covered his ears.

The only fly in the ointment is that the drum beat is too crisp and does not have a deep feeling.

Fortunately, Lyubai reacted quickly, and the deep drum quickly overshadowed the crisp beating.

But in the ears of the peony, there is only the crisp tapping sound!

Xue Yinshuang and Yao Yao stared at Bai Yu in surprise. He was looking at the stage from afar, his fingers curled and rhythmically tapped on several tiles of different sizes, echoing the sound of the lute in the center of the stage.

Just now they were fascinated by the play, but Peony suddenly lost her soul and didn't move. The two of them were still wondering if Bai Yu had already cut a few tiles of different sizes with Fenghua. Drop the phrase "don't speak" and knock it out.

Such a change and decisiveness made Xue Yinshuang's evaluation of Bai Yu a few points higher.

Besides, his drumming skills seem to be pretty good.

The music gradually reaches its climax. Peony's fingers were so fast that she could barely see clearly. Liu Bai's forehead also oozed beads of sweat the size of beans, dripping on the drum skin, and they were immediately dispersed. Xue Yinshuang noticed that the green tile that Bai Yu knocked on had been stained with a trace of blood.

Finally, the peony took care of the painting, and the sound of the pipa suddenly stopped. Liu Bai also slammed a hammer, and the drum skin broke in response.

The overwhelming applause swirled upwards, startling the clouds and scattering.

"I said, how could the famous Luo Sheng Baiju make such a low-level mistake, it turned out that he was selling Guanzi!"

"Halfway through the singing of "Suolin Bag" was replaced by "Breaking the Formation", which is too fresh!"

"Eh, I remember that the head of the Lu family has a saying about this kind of thing, what is it called?"

"It's called...... Skewers, huh?"

"Yes, yes, it's skewers!",

The cuckoo was close to the stage, and after hearing the discussion of the crowd clearly, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and immediately pulled everyone up to take a curtain call.

Peony was still muddy, bowing, getting up, and stepping off the stage were all done by Liu Wanzhi pulling her. She looked at the corner of the eaves where Bai Yu was sitting, where only a finch tilted its head to look at her.

"Eh, what's going on with that drum beat just now?"

"Wanzhi, how did you come up with the idea of handing the pipa to the peony?"

"I don't know, I seem to have heard someone say, 'Take the pipa to the peony', so I went!"

"It can't be the hell!"

"How can it be! It is blessed by the gods!"

On the way back, everyone was talking about it. Peony looked out the window in the carriage, unsettled.

"Why did the strings break!"

"My drum is broken too!"

"It must be Li Beizhi's kid, yesterday he asked me to get the key to the instrument room, and said that he wanted to take away his things, and I gave it to him!"

"This old boy, this kind of small action that can't be put on the table!"

"If it weren't for our Peony Spiritual Spirit, our Luo Sheng Hundred Drama would be over!"

"Yes, thanks to Peony!"

Peony came back to her senses and exhaled lightly: "It's not me, it's Bai Gongzi." ”

"He was the one who started beating the drums, and it should be him who asked Wanzhi to come up with the lute. It was also he who asked me to play "Breaking the Formation". ”

Bang - the door was slammed open, and a group of people poured in.

Bai Yu was startled, and hurriedly withdrew his hand from Xue Yinshuang's hand.

He stood up and said, "What's the matter, everyone?"

"Bai Gongzi, let me see your hands. The crowd automatically separated, and the peony costume had not yet been taken off, and the section walked towards Bai Yu. Lyubai found several bloody tiles in the corners of the eaves.

"Uh, no need, right?"

A figure flew in from the window: "The medicine was bought-" It was just the death.

She was also jumped by the crowd, and the last word was swallowed raw.

"What's wrong?" she quietly moved to Xue Yinshuang's side. Xue Yinshuang shook her head slightly, signaling her not to speak.

When the people heard the words, there was another commotion.

Peony stepped forward and pulled Bai Yu's arm, but Bai Yu was unmoved.

The peony raised its head, and the peach blossom eyes were misty.

She didn't speak, but he understood.

"Please......"

The strength in his hand relaxed.

Peony carefully held the pair of white and powerful hands.

The bloody scars on the knuckles of the middle finger were so shocking. Although the body of a cultivator is tougher than that of ordinary people, it is still flesh and blood. Fortunately, there was a layer of hoarfrost hanging from the wound, at least the bleeding had stopped.

Peony's vision suddenly became blurred, and if it weren't for the presence of others, she would have been eager to put these hands in her arms.

She took a step back and lowered her eyebrows, not wanting others to see her eyes.

"Bai Gongzi is very gracious, Luo Sheng's hundred operas are unforgettable!"

Everyone behind him also caught a glimpse of these hands and echoed them.

"Look, I'll just say he has peach blossoms!" After everyone left, Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand towards Xue Yinshuang, "You didn't see that look in the peony girl's eyes—tsk!"

"Bai Gongzi is righteous and thin, everyone will be moved!"

Xue Yinshuang carefully medicated and bandaged Bai Yu. I wanted to do it myself, but I had to give up when I saw Bai Yu's grinning appearance.

Why are you so careless! She secretly hated in her heart.

"Tuk tuk—" There was a knock on the door.

"Big Brother Bai, it's me!" Before the words fell, Xiao Maotou had pushed the door in, holding a delicate small box in his arms. He carefully placed the box on the table, then turned around and ran.

"Sister Peony said that this was a little heart, she should have sent it in person, but she was a little uncomfortable, and she would come back another day to thank Brother Bai!"

With a quick hand, a sword qi popped out of his fingers and knocked open the lid of the box.

Inside, there was a stack of Jiaozi lying peacefully.

Xue Yinshuang raised her eyebrows and looked at Bai Yu.

"Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If we are polite, we will make them feel unjust. Take it first, and give it back to them when you leave!"

"No, no, no!" Xiao Xiao whistled, took out one from the thick stack and stuffed it into his arms, "The courtesy is light and affectionate, let's take one!"

Peony frowned, crumpled the half-written paper and threw it into the incense burner, threw the pen away, and fell down on the chair in a dejected manner.

This letter paper is a strange peach blossom color, called Xue Tao note, and each one is worth a lot of money. And this is already the seventeenth one she has lost.

After a long time, she took a deep breath and changed a piece of incense before she spread out another piece of Xue Tao note and wrote it carefully.

"Bai Gongyu resigned, the time was executed, and the law should be cleared ......"

Hila-the bewitching peach blossoms shattered in the girl's palm.

Her heart is as broken as a letter.

Forty-four, unintentionally out of Xiu

Xue Yinshuang has been hiding in the room for the past few days to read the book "Prince Rose's Whereabouts", and she didn't even go out. This book has recently become famous, and it is natural for her as a bachelor to read it. In addition, she saw Bai Yu and Peony messing around every day, knowing that it was just for rehearsals, but there was always a breath of anger in her heart, so she simply couldn't see it.

She also heard the discussion of other people in Luo Shengbaiju. Since Bai Yu rescued the scene that day, they have regarded him as their own, and they have also said that Peony and Bai Yu are a pair.

"It seems that the slave family has no chance to be Bai Gongzi's sweetheart! Now he only has peony in his eyes!" This is what Liu Wanzhi said, so angry that Xue Yinshuang didn't eat dinner that day. The dignified Zhongzhou sacrificial wine disciple is naturally a Taoist heart, how can he be devoted to the ...... of the ordinary. Well, Peony doesn't seem to be an ordinary woman.

and the cuckoo, his eyes narrowed with a smile: "Bai Gongzi stood next to our peony, as if he was born a pair of golden boys and girls!" Although Peony is tall and slender, it ...... Xue Yinshuang looked down, and in some ways, she had absolute confidence.

The more I thought about it, the more bored I became, and I couldn't read the book anymore.

Outside the window, the remnant sun is like gold, pouring down the city.

They should have gone back to their rooms after rehearsal, and she decided to go out and get some air.

She pushed open the door and bumped into Bai Yu who was about to knock on the door.

"Uh...... Is that going out for a walk?" Bai Yu obviously didn't have a wording ready, "Peony still has to rehearse, and it's gone, so I came to you......"

Xue Yinshuang felt angry in her heart, did she even go out for a walk to find me last?

When the words came out, the flavor changed: "Let's go, I'm a little bored too!"

"Ahh She sat on the windowsill, looking in the direction the light was coming from, and took a sip of cloudy wine.

Liuzhou is not as good as Zhongzhou, but there are not many people on the street. Even if there were, it was in a hurry. Smoke also rose from the houses on both sides of the street.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and they were silent all the way.

Until the mischievous wind lifts a corner of the veil, revealing a little beautiful corner of the lips.

"Why do you keep wearing a veil?"

"Are your hands better?"

The two blurted out at the same time, and then each silently rejoiced at this little tacit understanding.

"It's better, I'm in good shape!" Bai Yu stretched out his hand, "Look!"

Xue Yinshuang was about to stroke, but realized that this action that she was used to doing a few days ago was very ambiguous at this moment, and retracted her hand.

"That's good!"

"That'...... Why do you wear a veil all the time?"

"Before leaving, Master calculated a hexagram for me. Xue Yinshuang paused, "Away from the upper and lower levels, the fire and water have not been hexagrams." ”

Xue Yinshuang's master is the Guanghan School Palace Sacrifice Wine - He Lai Qianqiu, and she is also the only woman in the Five University Palace Sacrifice Wine.

"Heng, the little fox is full of money, and there is no benefit. Bai Yu blurted out that he was not good at divination, but he could still memorize "Zhou Yi".

"Yes, the unfortunate hexagram is the appearance of a small evil, or the appearance of the first evil and then the auspicious. Later, the master calculated another hexagram, and she didn't tell me what the hexagram was, but only told me that I must wear a veil outside the school palace and not take it off in front of others, so that it is natural for evil to turn into good fortune. Otherwise, the veil will fall, and the Tao will be in turmoil. ”

Bai Yu knew that he wanted to try to let Xue Yinshuang see him with his true face, but since there was such a reason, he naturally gave up.

But......

That is to say...... If you're in the Academy, you don't have to wear a veil?"

Xue Yinshuang nodded: "If you have time to come to Guanghan Palace to sit down, I will naturally see you with my true face!"

Bai Yu rubbed his hands excitedly: "Then after this 'Ji 20', I will go to Guanghan Palace with you!"

"Good!"

The two stopped and smiled at each other.

The slanting sun sank at the end of the bluestone pavement, and the crimson light smeared wantonly on the fair skin, as bright as the sunset.

The sudden sound of footsteps dispelled the ambiguous emotions. The naughty boy who was in a panic crashed head-on into Bai Yu's arms.

Bai Yu came back to his senses from Gensokyo and helped the boy.

"What's the matter, little brother?" Bai Yu squatted down.

The boy was out of breath: "Mother...... Mother......"

"What's wrong with your mother, is something wrong?" Xue Yinshuang also squatted beside Bai Yu.

"Mother...... Mother...... She ......"

Before the male fairy tale sounded, a loud voice sounded on the street corner.

"Where are the rabbits going!" a middle-aged woman in plain clothes came out of the corner of the street, holding a broom upside down. She caught a glimpse of the boy in Bai Yu's arms, and she was even more furious. Strode forward and grabbed the boy and hit him.

For a moment, the sound of the boy's cries and brooms falling on his buttocks rippled in the empty streets.

Bai Yu and Xue Yinshuang laughed and laughed, they thought something was wrong.

But they could not sit idly by while the matter was in front of them, and they hurriedly persuaded the woman.

"Madam, if you have something to say, why bother the child!"

When the woman saw that they were well-dressed and spoke in a screeching manner, she immediately restrained herself.

She glared at the boy fiercely, and gave her hands two more blows in disgust.

"You don't know. The men in the family shouted every day that there was little salt in the food at home, and they had no strength to work. I bought two catties of beans and prepared to make some capers for him to eat when he went to work. I'm busy washing the tank, so I'll let this little cub pick the beans. When he finished choosing, he saw that he had only eight taels of two catties of beans left! When he asked him, he said that there were insect eyes on the beans, and he was afraid, so he chose half of the ones with insects. You two say, how can there be such a waste of food? I said him, he is still strong!"

"Just a few beans, beat the child like this?" Xue Yinshuang was a little incredulous.

"Seeing that the two of them are well-dressed, they are not the masters of the work, how do you know how difficult it is to earn money now! My man has worked the dock for a day, and it is enough for the family to have food and clothing. I can't buy a few new clothes all year round. I'm not in good health, so I can only do some manual work at home......"

Maybe it was rare for someone to confide, the woman chattered for a long time, and Bai Yu just listened.

"Madam, I have some silver taels here, let's go buy some food for the child!" Xue Yinshuang listened, and took out a Jiaozi fortress from his arms and gave it to Madame. The woman hurriedly waved her hand.

"Madam, although our family is not as rich as your family, we still have ambition!

Xue Yinshuang couldn't help but blush when she heard her nonsense, but she said, "Madam, take it! Buy a new dress for the baby to wear!"

No matter what Xue Yinshuang said, the woman didn't accept the righteous words, and pulled the boy to leave.

Bai Yu stopped her: "Madam! This child is smart and sympathetic to the family, you must give birth to him in the future! You take this piece of paper and go to any school palace, just say that Bai Yu of Zhongzhou School Palace recommended him to enroll, and they will accept it!"

The woman was surprised and delighted at this time, she could refuse to accept money, but she could not refuse the opportunity to enter the palace.

In the land of China, the School Palace is the place where everyone's dreams end. An ordinary family has a disciple of the Academy, and it is to hold a three-day banquet to celebrate.

It is naturally not an easy task to enter the school palace. An ordinary person wants to enter the school palace, if no one is introduced, the first thing to do is to be a child to study in a private school for seven to eight years. After completing his studies, he will take the exams organized by the various palaces, and after passing the exams, he will be inspected in the palace for a year as a student. After the School Palace confirms that there is no problem with this person's character and academic ability, he can be accepted as a disciple of the School Palace.

After the disciples of the Academy Palace complete their studies and pass the assessment of the Academy, they become bachelors, and they are talents favored by the powerful wherever they go. If you can make achievements and study to a doctorate, then it is not impossible to stay in the palace and become a master.

If you become a scholar of the palace, you are eligible to set up a separate genealogy.

Originally, with the financial resources of this woman's family, it was difficult to support this child to complete the long children's course, but now that there is a chance to ascend to the sky, how can she not be overjoyed!

It's just that......

"Uh...... Official, we have a saying, and we are not afraid of your jokes when we say it, we are not relatives, why do you want to help us?"

Bai Yu smiled and rubbed the boy's head: "I see that he has the light of sexual spirit in his eyes, he must be a talent!"

"Ouch! Dog, thank you for this big brother!"

The dog baby raised her head, and there were tears left in her ignorant eyes. He took the piece of paper in Bai Yu's hand, which was full of words he couldn't understand.

"Thank you, big brother!"

The woman thanked her and left, and Bai Yu's smile gradually retracted.

"What's wrong, what's on your mind?"

Bai Yu shook his head: "Let's go back!"

Tonight, the moon and stars are scarce, and the streamer is like jade.

The woman led the dog to the door of the house with great excitement, and when she saw that the light was on, she knew that it was the man who had returned, and cried out, "Good news, master!"

Pushing the door in, the man leaned on the edge of the bed naked, and sneered: "What good news, so that Lao Tzu can't even eat a hot meal when he arrives home after a hard day?"

After listening to the woman's account, the man's brows were furrowed, and he didn't even realize that the dry tobacco pouch in his hand had been burned.

"Why do you believe them?"

"You don't see the material of the clothes on the people's bodies! We may not be able to afford a piece of other people's clothes if we don't eat or drink for a year! You say, what are they trying to lie to me?" The woman was very dissatisfied with the man's doubts about her judgment, and she did not want to miss the opportunity to change her fate because of the man's suspicion.

"Besides, aren't we dogs smart?

"If people are teasing us, let's go all the way to the school palace, and what should we do if someone blows it out?"

"You are a big man, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, you can't afford to lose this face, I'll lose it! In the future, our dog baby will be a bachelor or doctor, and I won't let him recognize you as a father!"

"Okay!I'll go!" The man threw away the dry tobacco pouch and got up from the bed, "Tomorrow I will ask Lao Song for a leave, you can prepare some dry food for me, and I will take the dog baby to try my luck!"

"Scared! Prepare dry food! Which school palace are you going to? Isn't the Liuzhou School Palace just over the city?"

"Didn't you say that they belonged to the Zhongzhou School Palace? I'll take the dog baby to the Zhongzhou School Palace!"

Squeak - a mouse seems to be startled by the man's arrogance, and stumbles into the empty rice jar.

It seemed to foresee that the woman's stubbornness would change the fate of all living beings in Shenzhou to some extent.
