It turned out that at some point, Xiang Zheng also came out, and found Xiang Zhong standing on tiptoes toward the sky, wanting to get closer to the fragrance of flowers, so he broke off a large branch for him from above.
"Thank you!" Xiang Zhong took the flower branch, took a deep breath of the fragrance, and then smiled sweetly at Brother Zheng and thanked him.
To be honest, Xiang Zhong is really well-liked: at home in the bamboo forest and mountains, he was pampered by "little tail", brother Ji Yu, uncle Zhao Wu and his mother; when he returned to Xiang's mansion, he was pampered by his brother and his father. , and the six masters were also conquered by him one after another, and they treated him with an attitude of pampering and respect. The only one who could not tolerate her was Mrs. Xiang, who was harsh and mean to him. In the name of doing good for him, , persuaded Doctor Xiang to send him to another country to find a better master to teach him.
"Listen to what my grandma said, after Yang Hu returns to Lu State with Ji Sun Zhengqing this time, you will also return to your mother. I and all the gentlemen are very reluctant to leave you. You must promise me: you will return as soon as you finish your studies. You have to say There are more interesting things for me to hear! I also want to attend your crowning ceremony!"
Xiang Zheng knelt down, hugged Xiang Zhong's thin shoulders, pressed hard, and made an "offer" between brothers.
Promises must be fulfilled, whether they are with brothers or parents.
According to the "agreement" with Mrs. Xiang, the end of the month came and Xiang Zhong was sent back to Mrs. Xiang.
The growth of children is different from that of adults. Even after only one month, "Little Tail" began to lose one of his front teeth and turned into a funny and leaky version of a child.
It is because of this tooth that the "little tail" is rare. For the first time, he behaved very reservedly. Instead of jumping up to hug Zhonger and kissing him fiercely when he saw it, he deliberately closed his lips tightly and opened his two big eyes. Xiang Zhong greeted Xiang Zhong with a wink and a smile as he came back.
Xiang Zhong feels great! Finally, I no longer have to be hugged and kissed on the cheek by her! Seeing that she has become "lady-like", I just thought that she was a stranger after not seeing each other for a month. Also, she formally studied with her mother and understood the etiquette and rules. This is a bit of a distance. It seems that her "little tail" seems to be a little longer. Son, much more beautiful, well, it is true that "distance brings beauty".
The little madam hugged Xiang Zhong, and she felt relieved when she saw that her son had grown a little taller, gained weight, had a rosy face, and looked good.
"I heard that this time you have become a disciple of Mr. Zheng Liu. Not only has your knowledge improved, but he is also well-known in Song City. He is visited by many people, many of whom are adults. He also alerted the ministers of Lu State to visit. He also looked at him with suspicion. Is it possible? Bring back some new works for us?" What Ji Yun is most concerned about is Xiang Zhong's latest works. As the brother of this prodigy's number one fan, he can best grasp the core highlights and is eager to learn and improve.
When the servant who sent Xiang Zhong back heard this, he immediately opened several official packages that he had with him. After opening the first storage box, there were several treasures that Xiang Zhong had obtained during the month after studying under Xiangfu. :
A dried osmanthus flower branch that still retains the fragrance of osmanthus; a pure cotton handmade bag containing a set of small bamboo sticks given to him by Mr. Zan Yi; a sharp dagger with a sheath, a gift from Mr. Yang Feng ; A small red cotton bag, containing the "Qi Tun" little fat four-eyed clay xun given by Mr. Guangkang.
Opening the second box, there was a pile of scrolls written on fine cloth, including calligraphy poems and songs in various fonts he had "created", two design drawings: stirrups and bow and arrows; and Lu The full text of "Chang Di" written by Guozhengqing Ji Sunsu, and two paragraphs written at the welcome banquet to receive Lu Guozhengqing and his delegation: a summary of two small physical experiments, "The sun has no eyes... very human beings" It can be said.” I will post the prophecy of Lu’s present and future in the future.
"Little Tail" was attracted by the big red bag and wanted to know what was inside, so he reached out to grab it and took out the deep-colored fish whose mouth had been sucked out of clay by Xiang Zhong. He came and asked curiously: "What's going on here?"
Before he finished speaking, his hand slipped and he saw that this fragile clay pottery was about to fall to the ground. Zhong'er rushed over and directly performed a standard "horse squat" squat underneath. , taking advantage of the situation, the hem of his lower skirt was picked up with both hands, just in time to firmly catch his beloved baby.
"Wow! It turns out you, Yiga, have some skills in your legs! So sharp!"
"Little Tail" was conquered by Chong'er's lightning speed, and was more interested in the clay xun.
"I can't believe how much you can learn in just one month! You can even practice your leg skills. It's so sharp! So sharp!" Ji Yu was also shocked by this operation. I couldn't help but praise him repeatedly.
Xiang Zhong wrapped the xun in his lower clothes, stood up straight at the same time, smiled proudly at everyone, without saying much, directly picked up the "qi-swallowing" earthen xun that had just experienced the risk of "falling apart", and started Play it for everyone.
The song "Su Wu Sheep" has a gentle and simple melody, but it is full of affection. Listening to it, the young lady Xiang couldn't help but burst into tears. On the one hand, she was moved by the desolate and persevering emotions reflected in the melody, and on the other hand, she was moved by the song. My son knows so many new skills and is so happy that he sheds tears.
An ancient poem goes: "Heaven lures the people like a Xun or a chi".
Although Mrs. Xiang has never practiced these two instruments herself, she has always known that the "Book of Songs" says: "The Bo family plays the xun, and the Zhong family plays the chi. The combination of the xun and the chi is a perfect match! Because of the uniqueness of the xun and chi The musical effect is beautiful but high-pitched, deep but bright. The two instruments Xun and Xun sing together, complementing each other and harmonizing each other. It is likened to the harmony of brothers. The friendship between Xun and Chi also symbolizes the nobility and nobility between brothers. A pure, unbreakable friendship.
And this is exactly the ideal that her beloved husband, Dr. Xiang Xu, has been pursuing throughout his life.
Seeing Xiang Zhong, who was playing the xun seriously, and his round, chubby, rosy little mouth, she also sincerely hoped that in the future there would be someone who would play the xun, get along with him, have the same spirit, and share the same feelings. Close friends who communicate with each other and stay together for life, just like Xiang Xu and Zhao Wu.
Brother and sister "Little Tail" and Ji Yu had never been exposed to this instrument, and they could not hear the beauty of it. They only knew that it sounded good, so they clapped their hands together after the song ended, with admiration and envy in their eyes.
"Chong'er, you have learned a lot when you return to Xiangfu this time, and your skills are superb. Just a few days ago, Shang's brother and sister sent a message. Dr. Shang Rong has made an appointment with Li Dan. In the middle of next month, which coincides with the eve of the lunar month, Shang Hold a banquet and invite us and our party to worship and admire the moon together. You have learned some skills, and you are ready to spend some time with Mr. Boyang."
