Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 45 The Old Man Who Can Only Play and Sing
In the early morning of the next day, Ji Wuyan got up to eat, and Ruoshui came in with his head poking around.

First, I exchanged a very official greeting, and then praised Ziqiu's desserts, and then asked around, "Miss Wuyan's song yesterday is really amazing... I don't know, who did you learn from? "

He took a small silver spoon in his hand, scooped up half a spoonful of millet porridge and ate it as if nothing had happened, and then said indifferently, "Just... an old man in our village who can play and sing... occasionally teaches me Some."

Ruoshui was dumbfounded: An old man who can play, play, and sing?How can such a genius come out of nowhere?
Although I heard Aunt Chaoyun occasionally mention that this Ji Wuyan came from an unknown village, and he didn't think he would have any very powerful teachers, but this answer still surprised Ruoshui. I don't know how to take the next words...

But, she didn't say anything, Ji Wuyan didn't talk to her, and just drank her porridge quietly.

The veil was half lifted, revealing only a delicate and smooth jaw.

Just that one line, I feel so beautiful that it is almost perfect.

Ruoshui opened his mouth again, hesitated for a moment, and organized his words, "Just, when you were playing the piano on the stage yesterday, I, my mentor was also there. She was amazed by your piano skills and wanted to meet you..."

If it's just an old man teaching something occasionally, he shouldn't be considered a master. If the teacher wants to accept her as an apprentice, it's okay to think about it.

Putting down the spoon, "Who is your mentor?"

"My mentor is called Mr. Wang, and he is one of the three major luthiers of the Jiaofang Division, even the entire Dongyao." Speaking of the mentor, Ruoshui looked beaming, "She is a frequent visitor of our Fengchenju, and she is the most loved one. Cai, when I was playing the piano at my previous employer, I was spotted by my mentor and accepted as a disciple. Wuyan... see you?"

Although he probably guessed the intention of the other party to see him, Ji Wuyan still nodded and said hello.

Ruoshui seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, with a smile staining the corners of his eyes and brows, "Then... let's have dinner together at noon today?"

"it is good."

……

Lunch was held in an inn not far from Fengchenju. It was not a very luxurious place, but the food here was delicious. There were many guests on weekdays, and the lobby on the first floor was full of seats.

Mr. Wang from Jiaofang Division made an appointment in the elegant room on the second floor. When Ji Wuyan passed by, the other party was already there.

She is a woman in her forties, with decent makeup and a scrupulous bun. There is not a single strand of messy hair, and she looks like a serious woman.Seeing Ji Wuyan approaching, the other party stood up to greet her, and smiled lightly, "Miss Ji... I have long admired you."

Polite and warm.

Ji Wuyan leaned over to return the salute, "Mr. Wang."

Even though he rejected the emperor's suggestion to join the Jiaofang Secretary, Ji Wuyan still never lost the slightest courtesy to the person in front of him.The three major luthiers of the Jiaofang Division, all of whom have peaches and plums all over the world, are also true masters with outstanding skills, and they deserve the respect they deserve.

"We don't need to be polite, sit down quickly..." Mr. Wang greeted Ji Wuyan to sit down, and ordered Ruoshui to pass the meal, then sat down and poured tea, "The tea here is also a must, you It’s not long since you’ve been here, haven’t you tried it, hurry up and try it?”

"Thank you."

Mr. Wang looked at the girl in front of him. Wearing a veil, she was very charming, with a bit of grace and nobility engraved in her bones and blood. She didn't look like she was born in a small village as Ruo Shuikou said.

This kind of aura is like a daughter of a clan who has been cultivated by a big family with a lot of resources.

Nodding secretly, approving.

Desperate for love, she went straight to the topic, "Miss Wuyan, I heard from Ruoshui that you don't have a master yet? I don't know...Wuyan thinks, can I be your teacher?"

In a word, from "no-salt girl" directly to "no-salt", the words became more familiar and intimate in an instant.

"Sorry." Ji Wuyan raised his eyes slightly, seemed to smile, and refused gently, "I think, Miss Ruoshui remembered wrongly, I have a teacher, he is an old man."

"The old man you mentioned, she told me about it, but... it is said that she taught you a trick or two..." This is still a implicit statement. How can an old man who can play and sing in a small remote village be qualified? What can such a talented teacher teach?

After thinking for a while, he said, "If you are willing to worship me as a teacher, I can help you with the rest of the matter." In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. I have never heard of that small village. The old man in the village will never have the chance to come to the imperial capital in his life.

Even if I called the teacher for a few days, so what?

Mr. Wang believes that any smarter girl knows how to make a choice.

She is confident.

Unexpectedly, the other party smiled and looked over, the eyebrows and eyes are so natural that even the best painters can't draw, "I'm sorry, I will be a teacher for a day and a father for life."

"Although my daughter admires Mr. Wang, the old man is my enlightenment teacher. The education my daughter has received since childhood makes it impossible for me to betray my enlightenment teacher. I hope you understand."

Without any hesitation, he was calm and determined.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Wang was dumbfounded, "You...you don't think about it anymore? Although you have a high reputation in Fengchenju, those are false names after all, and false names are the most useless in a field of fame and fortune like Yanjing City. A fleeting thing."

"If you want to gain a firm foothold, you need some background power. Although the Jiaofang Division is not a powerful and favored six department, it is also the best affiliation for a luthier. Really, think about it again? "

I only took a sip of the tea.

There was a knock on the door, it was Ruoshui who came in with the girls holding one after another.

There was a table full.

The topic just now was interrupted, Mr. Wang greeted Ji Wuyan to have a meal, "I don't know what you like to eat, so I roughly arranged several kinds, you can try them all."

"it is good."

Ji Wuyan only picked up the vegetable at the front of the chopsticks, slightly lifted the veil, and ate it gently, before saying, "It's costing you."

The younger ones all retreated, Ruoshui was by the side, looking at this, looking at that, because for a moment they didn't know where the teacher and Ji Wuyan were chatting, so they couldn't interrupt at will.

Mr. Wang, on the other hand, could tell that although he was well-dressed, he was also a short-tempered person. He glanced at the closed door, and then cut to the point, "No salt, what you just said, you... what do you think?"

I was already apprehensive, from the initial full of confidence, somehow, I suddenly had a premonition that the girl in front of me... might be extraordinarily "ignorant of good and evil".

Behind Ji Wuyan, Ziqiu pursed his lips and snickered, thinking that if the person who knew that his beloved disciple described him as an "old man who can only play and sing", not only that, but at this moment there are people who want to poach him, I am afraid that he will finally step out of the tower that he never stepped out of, and rush to the imperial capital to show his face, which will shake the imperial capital.
