After the family fell, I wanted to lie down

Chapter 120 Sword Dance

Ye Muyang ran to Xiaolin Hall in one breath. The snow in front of the thatched cottage had been cleared long ago, and some people had even made a few snowmen with interest. Xiao Taohong was humming a song and sticking two carrots on the snowmen.

"Little Peach is being naughty again."

Ye Muyang stepped on the snow on his feet and walked into the room. The noise and warmth hit him. Several young men were sitting around two red stoves, enjoying the snow and reading. Ye Muyang did not disturb them. After waiting for a long time, they stopped reading. Su Qinghe put away the book and said, "We are meeting friends in an informal way. You can speak freely about whatever you think of."

Ye Muyang discussed with them for a while, and suddenly complained, "I don't know if Mr. Zhou has gone crazy recently. He forces Yingge to write an essay every day. He really wants her to pass the county exam."

"Of course not, but we have to give it a try."

As they were talking, someone reminded them, "Yingge is here."

Over there, Yingge and Zhilin were walking and discussing the homework that their teacher had recently assigned them. "You can write these first. I have already shown your previous work to the teacher."

"What did the gentleman say?"

Yingge said, "The master said it was OK."

Zhi Lin said, "My essay is not as good as yours, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, if I don't participate in the scientific examination, it doesn't matter whether it is good or not."

"Hehe, I asked you to write it because you are taking the exam. What if you say you have guessed the exam questions? I will copy yours. This way, even if you guess the questions, we won't have the same answers."

"Or to put it this way, if I use your test paper to answer questions in the future, and I pass the exam, then you will also pass the exam, and that will show how knowledgeable you are."

Yingge and the others discussed the article again. From time to time, there were bursts of laughter in Xiaolin Hall, which attracted the students passing by to ask curiously, "What book is Xiaolin Hall reading this month?"

“I don’t know what book I read.”

"Are they still hiring? I want to go, too."

"I heard that we have to wait until we pass the county exam."

"They are studying now just for the county examination and the imperial examination."

"Bo Wen also has a relative who is an inspector, so he can get the examination papers of other prefectures in previous years."

The few people passing by started talking again and walked away gradually.

The preparation period before the county examination was full and complicated. From time to time, I was kept back by teachers of various subjects to assign homework and write essays. Several things happened during this period.

First he took part in several Cuju matches, and then in several poetry competitions held by various societies, where he naturally won the first prize.

After school that day, Su Qinghe invited Yingge to go, but Yingge declined by saying that she was studying on her own in the afternoon. Before she went down the mountain, she saw a red figure who had been waiting for a long time.

"Well, I won't invite you. Someone is already impatient."

Yingge looked down along the line of sight he had taken. There was a carriage parked next to the red figure, and the footrests had already been cleaned.

"Master Yingge is a very busy man. It's not easy for him to wait for you."

"Let's go to the thatched cottage and try the fruit I made. It's delicious."

"I heard that eating the fruit can help you become the top scholar." After saying that, Yutang walked forward, took Yingge's hand and walked forward. Yingge couldn't dodge for a while.

"Master Yingge, come quickly, this is delicious."

This scene made the young men who had not yet walked far envious. "I have something to ask of you, please don't misunderstand me." Yutang explained to the people around him.

"Oh, so you have something to ask for."

"Yes, yes, come on, Master Yingge, let's go in."

"Master Yingge, I came here today to ask for something."

After saying this, Yutang quickly straightened his clothes and explained, "Everyone knows that I am only slightly unlucky because I entrusted Master Yingzi with his poems."

Although Yingge was famous for her song Water Melody when she was in Yi Garden, it was not widely known. But with the sit-in and the strike in Mo City, Yingge became completely famous. Of course, everything about her was known to everyone, and naturally, Yutang's affairs were also known to more people.

Scholars always make jokes when they see red oil adding fragrance.

Yu Tang looked at Ying Ge and said, "Master Yingzi, is it appropriate for me to say this?"

"Well, remember to tell me in advance next time, otherwise you will make fun of me next time you meet."

"Hehe, you don't understand the affairs of us women."

"Miss Yutang, what do you want to talk to me about?"

His attitude was still distant and polite, as if they didn't know each other at all. Was it because she didn't explain it to her classmates in time? It was strange, or was it that she was having an illusion? A man's mind was really hard to guess.

Yutang stopped laughing and went into the house to talk about business. "Someone invited me to go to the capital."

When she went to the capital, Yingge was a little surprised and alert. She filtered herself and everything in her mind, and only felt relieved after making sure that she and Yutang were not involved.

"I came here today to say goodbye to Master Yingzi, to thank him, and to ask for your advice." She tilted her head as she said this, with a hint of a smile on her face.

"Three things, that's quite a lot." He then poured her a cup of tea that was brewing on the stove.

"Then tell me in detail."

Yutang saw Yingge was about to pour her tea, and hurriedly reached out to pour it, "Why don't I do it?"

Yingge didn't care who made the tea, and directly made a gesture to ask for permission to speak. "Mom has a channel. I heard that the largest Zuiyuelou in Shangjing is selecting famous top performers from various prefectures. Mom wants me to participate. I have the same idea, but you also know that I..."

Yu Tang chuckled at this point, turned his brows to Ying Ge and said, "It was all thanks to Master Yingzi before."

Yingge chuckled and took the tea she poured, "It seems like your mother is going to spend a lot of money on you." He glanced meaningfully at her perky buttocks. You know, the girls in the brothel are trained by special people in every move.

Yu Tang let out a cry as if she had just realized it, and said with a sweet laugh, "Master Yingzi has also learned bad habits."

Yingge hurriedly said, "Okay, forget about it." Yutang felt a little aggrieved and said, "Master Yingzi, these are my nature to please others. It has been engraved in my bones. What can I do?"

"Then, do you want me to redeem you?"

Yu Tang was surprised and half stood up and asked, "Master Yingzi, are you going to take me in?"

Xiao Taohong was thinking silently outside the door. There was going to be a dispute this time. It was very scary when women fought. If she had a fight with Miss Baoer and Miss Liu Wu that day, who would she pull?

Yingge looked at her helplessly and said, "Don't make trouble, you know that's not what I meant."

Yutang smiled sweetly, covered her mouth and sat down, tidied her appearance and bowed, "Yutang thanks Master Yingzi, I know Master Yingzi doesn't like me, but he has never looked down on me. If we must say that we are that kind of relationship, then perhaps the most appropriate term is friend's son."

In this passage, neither you nor I used the word "slave", which shows that we really regarded each other as friends. "Okay, stop flattering me. I don't deserve your advice."

"Master Yingzi seems to be affectionate, but he is actually quite ruthless."

Yingge didn't say anything but just poured the tea again. Yutang continued, "There is a Zuiyue Tower in Shangjing City, and they are looking for someone to invite me." She said with sparkling eyes: That's Shangjing, I heard them say that the girls in Zuiyue Tower are all ordinary people and all of them have special skills.

A brothel is not for commoners, but Yingge may have always been like this. After all, the people in the capital are all high-ranking officials, and the brothels in the capital are the same. They are just like restaurants, and their behavior is very discerning. The more noble the guests are, the more they use external things to show their status. If it is really as Xiang Yutang said, then it is indeed the case. She can only say, "What I said before is true, and I was not joking with you."

"I was joking when I said I wanted you to marry me." She straightened her clothes and said, "I know what Master Yingzi meant. Most people in the world know that for women like us, the best fate is to redeem ourselves and become good women. I thought so before, but I didn't realize until I was bullied that everything is real only when it is in our own hands, so I want freedom."

Yingge smiled and said, "Your idea is too big. It may not come true."

"God hasn't punished me yet, so what I want isn't too big."

"I was wrong, you are right."

"So why are you here today?"

"It's not easy to live in the capital, so we are here to find a solution."

"Yes and no. On the one hand, I came to say goodbye, and on the other hand, I came to ask Master Yingzi to teach me new survival skills. They invited me to Shangjing, and they made it very clear. I heard that they invited me because the song "Water Melody" I sang became famous in Shangjing. During this period of time, my mother also taught me carefully, and my skills have improved greatly. I still have some confidence in Shangjing."

"Okay, I see. Now tell me what you want to ask."

"Hehe, actually you are right about one thing, that is, it is not easy to live in the capital, and singing songs with just one skill cannot last long. Master Yingzi, please teach me some other skills."

She clasped her hands together and begged pitifully, "Just let me stay in Shangjing for a while longer. Even if I come back, I can't come back right away, right? Otherwise, I will lose face and bring disgrace to the people of Mocheng, don't you think?"

"Haha, I don't know whether you are praising me or overestimating me. I really can't sing. You actually knew it last time."

"I know, so can you help me again this time? We are friends, right?"

Put your hands together, who did she learn this from?

"Hehe, they are all from Xiaolin Hall. As long as they are partners, they will shake hands or put their hands together. I just learned from them."

Fortunately, no one said those gay words, otherwise it would be quite scary.

"Okay, I get it. It's getting late. You should go back first and wait for my news. I need to rest."

"Master Yingge is really rude in chasing people away." After saying that, he walked out, twisting his waist like a willow.

Yingge did not lie at all. It seemed that Zhixing had found a way to torture her during this period of time. She had been practicing martial arts and studying day and night. Xiao Taohong in the outer room had given you a rest during the day, but she had to go to the academy to study during the day and study and practice martial arts at night. She was very tired. She did not want to rely on self-injury to win by chance if she met a perverted person like Lu Gongqing next time.

Thinking of this, Yingge buried his head in the quilt and sighed comfortably. How nice it would be to be a teacher. Even if a student was bullied, he could pick up a sack and hit him with a club. It would be considered standing up for the student. What a disgusting development.

Thinking of this, he chuckled and fell asleep.

When Su Qinghe arrived, Yingge had already heard the noise and just asked from outside, "It's time to get up."

Didn’t this person say that he had something to do at home and wouldn’t be coming for the time being? “Okay, wait a moment.” She got up and put on her clothes while tidying up her face. Fortunately, the powder she had just applied on her face could not be washed off, so she just had to cover it carefully.

Su Qinghe sat in the thatched cottage with a gloomy face, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Yingge looked at him and said with a gloomy face, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Nian Shilan is dead."

In fact, this ending was expected. Yingge was silent, and then heard Su Qinghe say, "But it's true that Nian Shilan died three years ago. I heard that he died in a dilapidated temple."

Hey, what does this mean?

"The dead man was named Huang Yi, from Yunxia Valley." He then recounted what happened in Shangjing.

Yingge was silent for a moment. It turned out that the man was from the same industry. No wonder he felt strange after turning himself in. "If that's the case, then I'll give him a send-off."

Send, how to send, Su Qinghe was a little puzzled, Yingge picked up a pen and wrote a few notes and handed them to him, saying "Please give them to Zhilin and Yutang for me."

As winter approached, there were fewer classes in the academy. Students who were not from Mo City had already gone back to prepare for the New Year. Perhaps because Yingge had been taught more harshly during this period, she was given a rare day off on this day.

Yingge walked up the path leading to Qinghe Academy. Before she reached Xiaolin Hall, she could hear various music and cheers coming from inside. Yingge thought for a moment that she had walked into the wrong place.

Yingge was somewhat stunned. Could it be that she got up in the wrong way today and remembered the wrong place? How could someone be having fun inside?

As I got closer, I heard singing. It was Yutang.

"well."

"Miss Yutang's sword dance is pretty good. With more practice, you can become a master."

"Zhilin plays the piano well, too."

"Zhilin can also play the flute."

"Yeah, Yingge is back."

Amidst the laughter, Yingge also sat down to enjoy the show for a while. When she turned around, she found that everyone was there, including Su Qinghe, Su Qingyu, Chen Junhe and even Fu Zijing.

"As the saying goes, we share happiness and we share difficulties. They are actually training singing and dancing here, Sanshilang, you can't favor one over the other."

Fu Zijing said, "I heard about the Xiaolin Hall gathering, so I came."

Yu Tang on the side said, "If that's the case, then I am also a member of Xiaolin Hall."

The teenagers burst into laughter.

Yingge also smiled and took the glass of wine handed to her by Su Qinghe.

Fu Zijing was the first to speak, "Are you going to write a new poem?"

It had been a long time since the last time their poetry club wrote poems. At that time, they thought Yingge would produce another excellent work, but she didn't, so Fu Zijing really hoped that she would produce new work.

When Yingge heard Fu Zijing's question, she smiled and shook her head. It was not that she couldn't do it, but as a time traveler, she always plagiarized other people's poems and felt ashamed, so she usually couldn't compose poems.

It is better to write poetry at the most appropriate time.

Hearing that there was no new work, Fu Zijing lost interest and said, "Then I'll leave first." Yingge also knew his character and responded with a smile, which was considered as agreement.

Someone asked curiously, "So how are you going to help Yutang this time?"

Yingge said, "We're still using that song about young chivalry, but this time it's accompanied by a sword dance."
