In the afternoon of that day, Yuqin was playing the piano on the stone table in the corner of the yard. Wei Jing happened to have nothing to do, so he was also sitting at the stone table listening. At this time, two children who lived not far away heard that Wei Jing of the Sima family When his brother returned, he came to play with Wei Jing.
The boy's name is Afu and the girl's name is Lan'er. They are both residents who have lived in Anqing for a long time. Everyone who has been with the Sima family for a long time knows them. These two children have played with Wei Jing since they were young. Later Wei Jing Jing stepped into the world and had less time to come back, so the two of them didn't stick to Wei Jing so often.
When they came to the courtyard, they happened to see Wei Jing sitting at the stone table listening to the playing of the elm qin. They knew that this beautiful sister Qin had just come to Sima's house not long ago, but she was not as lively as the other sister Ren. She was always calm and peaceful. She is quiet and doesn't like to laugh much, so the two of them still don't dare to talk to Yuqin.
After Yuqin saw the two of them, she smiled at them first and said hello. The two of them panicked and pretended not to see them. They just approached the stone table and wanted Wei Jing to play with them. They placed eight stones across the table. They lined up on the ground and threw other pebbles from a distance to see who could throw them accurately.
The two of them threw the stones for a while, using up dozens of stones in their hands, before hitting the first stone. They were feeling annoyed, but they did not dare to invite Wei Jing who was still beside Yu Qin. Wei Jing saw the two of them wanting to After he stopped talking, he wanted to tease them, so he pretended not to see them and just listened to the piano.
At this time, Zhang Wuchang happened to pass by, and Ah Fu begged Zhang Wuchang to accompany them to throw stones. Wei Jing thought to himself: "If Brother Six plays with you, you will be in trouble now."
Zhang Wu saw the arrangement of seven stones on the ground and the stones in Ah Fu's hand. He already understood how to play. He picked up a stone and threw it. The sound of breaking wind made Yu Qin also look up. The small stone took the lead. Fly to the right hand and count the second stone.
After the stone was hit, it hit it to the left. Unexpectedly, the remaining force was not reduced, and it knocked over all the five remaining stones on the left. The small stone that Zhang Wuchang had originally ejected after hitting the second stone on the right. , continue to bounce to the right, and knock down the last stone together.
Ah Fu and Lan'er were stunned, and then cried loudly: "Wow, all the stones have been knocked down!"
Zhang Wuchang was puzzled and asked Wei Jing: "How could this be?"
Wei Jing only thought that Sixth Brother was really cute. He pulled Zhang Wuchang aside and said, "Sixth Brother, when you play with throwing stones, you have to miss them from the beginning, and then exchange experiences with your companions. After several practices, you finally get the chance." The more you hit, the more accurate you are. Enjoy the process. That's fun. If you knock down all the stones as soon as you hit them, what's the fun? Besides, when they see that you can hit seven stones with one stone, they realize that they are like this. Too bad, maybe if you get discouraged, you’ll never throw stones again?”
When Zhang Wuchang heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he cupped his hands and said, "Goodbye, second brother!"
Wei Jing just smiled bitterly, and Yu Qin couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and then stood up and squatted next to the child, saying warmly: "Ah Fu, Lan'er is good, do you think the Sixth Master is powerful?"
The two children had tears in their eyes, but they still nodded vigorously.
Yu Qin said: "In that case, Sister Qin will go and ask the Sixth Master to teach you some techniques for throwing stones. Can you agree?"
After saying that, he smiled at Zhang Wuchang and asked him for help. The two children were very excited and nodded hurriedly. Thinking of the stone-throwing skill just now, it would be awesome if they could learn a little bit of it and play with other children in the future!
To make up for his mistake, Zhang Wuchang was willing to give some tips and took the two of them to look for stones. Lu Qingdi, who happened to be passing by, saw Zhang Wuchang playing with the children. He was very surprised and asked, "What's wrong with the sixth child?"
Wei Jing just smiled and said: "Miss Qin is looking for a disciple for Brother Six."
Lu Qingdi didn't know why, he just stared at this rare sight with wide eyes.
Wei Jing and Yu Qin sat back at the stone table. Wei Jing smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Miss Qin is quite capable of dealing with children."
Yuqin shook his head and said, "I'm just taking advantage of every opportunity. When the two of them saw me here just now, they didn't even dare to talk to the young master."
Wei Jing thought for a moment and said, "Actually, as long as Miss Qin smiles more, they will probably come to talk to you."
Yuqin asked: "Master, do you also want me to be lively and cheerful?"
Wei Jing said, "That's not necessary. Just do whatever makes Miss Qin most comfortable."
Yuqin smiled in return, and then said: "Thank you, Master."
Wei Jing stayed at Sima's house for the next few days. In addition to exchanging information with the masters and guests, he also discussed the art of swordsmanship with Yu Qin in his free time. The few days passed in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, Wei Jing was leaving for Xiangyang tomorrow. , after dinner, Wei Jing was packing his bags in his room, when Yu Qin suddenly came to visit.
Wei Jing was slightly surprised, but still asked: "Miss Qin, what do you want from me?"
Yuqin seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he didn't think about it for too long before making up his mind and asked: "On this trip back to Xiangyang, can the young master also take Yuqin with him?"
As soon as these words came out, various thoughts flashed through Wei Jing's mind. He first thought, of course he also wanted to go with Yu Qin, but would this trip be dangerous, and why did Yu Qin want to go with him? Then I thought, this time I went to Xiangyang to explore Qihuang Villa and Hidden Fish Courtyard. Would it be inconvenient for the two of them to go together? But it doesn’t seem impossible to have one more person to help and take care of you, right?
Seeing Wei Jing pondering undecided, Yu Qin said: "If there is any inconvenience, sir, that's okay."
At this time, Wei Jing also thought about whether it would be harmful to her innocence if a man and a woman went on the road together. But since she's willing to ask, she probably doesn't mind? After thinking for a while, Wei Jing finally asked: "Why does Miss Qin want to come?"
Yuqin said: "Yuqin has been staying in Qingyan Tower since he was a child. He can only learn about everything in the world from the guests' mouths and books. During that time, he traveled to Suzhou with his son and sister, and felt firsthand how big the world is. That's why he came up with this idea. The idea of traveling far and wide.”
After a pause, he continued: "And didn't Young Master say that I need to fight more people to improve my swordsmanship?"
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Wei Jing knew that it would be useless to say anything, so he said: "Okay, if there is one more person, I will take care of her more, so I will ask Miss Qin to take care of her more this time!"
Yuqin said happily: "Thank you, Master!"
Having decided to go with her, Wei Jing immediately went to the sect master to explain the matter of Yuqin. Sima Sect Master also said that he had nothing to do recently and needed to borrow her piano skills, so he agreed to let her go with her. .
The next day Wei Jing deliberately set out early in the morning, and only Ren Qianyun came to see him off. At this time, Ren Qianyun saw that Yu Qin had not left the room, so she whispered to Wei Jing: "Second brother, can you be more reliable in your work?"
Wei Jing was suddenly reminded and could only ask blankly: "What should I do?"
Ren Qianyun said: "Although Sister Qin is smart, if you don't say it out loud, how will she know what you think?"
Seeing that Wei Jing still had no idea, Ren Qianyun sighed: "Don't you like Sister Qin?"
Wei Jing's face turned red and he didn't know how to react. Yuqin happened to come over. Ren Qianyun had no choice but to say goodbye to Yuqin, asking her to be careful in everything and to take care of his second-hand brother. After seeing the two of them gradually moving away, Wei Jing's face turned red. , Ren Qianyun just stood at the door for a long time, and then slowly walked back to Sima's house.
As soon as the two of them went out, Yuqin asked: "What did my sister and the young master just talk about? Why are you frowning, as if you are unhappy?"
Wei Jing said hurriedly: "It's okay, you just want me not to bully you."
Seeing that he didn't mean what he said, Yu Qin knew that there was something else going on, but she thought that Wei Jing would not be unkind to her, so she didn't ask any more questions.
