Immortal master's cute apprentice wife

Chapter 22

After walking the long nine-curved corridor, at the end is the lotus water pavilion surrounded by lotus leaves. The flower hall of the water pavilion is connected with the study on the left, and a small bedroom is on the right.

What caught Tianchen's attention the most was the windows of the waterside pavilion. The windows were so large that they almost occupied the entire wall. There were walls all around, but there were also windows all around. Moreover, the windows were open, and each window had a There are nine layers of moon-white plain gauze curtains hanging. When there is a breeze, the plain gauze curtains will all float open, like clouds like fog, very beautiful and fairy.

Tianchen knelt down on a soft couch, and in front of her were short sheets. On the table were brushes, inkstones, scrolls, and paperweights.

In front of Tianzheng who was sitting in front, there was a piano table, and the incense burner on the table was lit with purple smoke, and the fragrance wafted up.

Tianzheng didn't play the piano at this time, but concentrated on fiddling with a set of tea sets on the small table next to the playing rack, some lotus leaf tea, a teapot, and six teacups, originally there were only five teacups.

"I seldom make tea for outsiders. Master and senior brothers often come here, so I often make tea for them." Tianzheng slowly warmed the utensils and set the tea, which seemed to be a casual remark, but it had a deep meaning .

Tian Chen seemed to understand it, but it was still vague. Does this mean that she is not considered an outsider?

"You can come here often in the future, and I'll make tea for you too." Tianzheng looked up at Tianchen.

Tianchen bit his lips and said: "But I don't know how to taste tea, I'm afraid I will disappoint the second senior brother."

"You still call me 'Second Senior Brother'?" The mentality was different, Tianzheng was very dissatisfied with this title, after brewing and pouring the tea, he served the tea in front of Tianchen.

Tian Chen was at a loss when he took the tea. Looking at such a series of tea-making etiquette, I'm afraid the tea-drinking etiquette is not simple.She has been poisoned a lot by the scriptures of Heavenly Dao recently.

"I heard that you are willing to be called Big Brother Big Brother and Third Brother Tianyao, why do you treat me so favorably?" Tian Zheng's tone was serious and mournful.

"Second brother!"

For some reason, these two words came out of Tianchen's mouth so quickly, holding the small teacup tightly in his hand, Tianchen was a little scared, the second brother was gentle and amiable on the surface, but every word, every action Every movement made her tremble with fear.

It was as if the second brother had set up a ubiquitous trap, and she would fall into the trap if she made a half-step mistake, and she felt that she had to be careful.

Seeing Tian Chen's knuckles turning white while holding the teacup, and the small ball huddled together trembling in shock, I really wanted to be bullied severely.Tianzheng laughed and said, "Why don't you drink tea? Do you think the second brother's workmanship is not good?"

"Tianchen dare not!" Tianchen quickly replied, "It's just that I don't know the etiquette of drinking tea, and I'm afraid I'll spoil this cup of tea."

"Use the thumb, index finger, and middle finger of the right hand to hold the teacup." Tianzheng demonstrated it himself, saying: "Smell its fragrance, observe its color, and slowly savor its taste."

Tianchen carefully watched Tianzheng's movements, and slowly sipped his tea, but he was just imitating it, and the way of paying attention to deep meaning was completely unreasonable.

"How about Tianchen learning how to make tea with the second brother in the future?" Tianzheng seemed to ask.

"This has to be approved by the master." Tian Chen said, "Besides, I have to learn the etiquette of apprenticeship today." Tian Chen quickly got up, bowed to Tian Zheng, and solemnly asked: "Please teach me the second brother." .”

Tianzheng obviously did not expect Tianchen to ask for advice in such a serious manner.Said: "Sit down first, the scroll on the table in front of you, you open it..."

Tianchen did as he said, densely packed small characters were written on the scroll, and various patterns of saluting gestures were also drawn.

"I heard from the master that you can read, so it's easy to handle." Tianzheng said: "You read it carefully first, and then memorize each word clearly, and learn the patterns on the scroll exactly. You practice."

exercise?

what is that……

Seeing that Tianchen was distracted again, Tianzheng couldn't help reminding: "Look at the scroll carefully."

"Oh!" Tianchen nodded obediently, but hesitantly looked at the piano on the Tianzheng piano case.Then he slowly withdrew his mind, looked at the scroll intently, and calmed down for a moment.

Is Tianchen actually interested in his piano?
Tianzheng's ten fingers are slender and white, and his white gauntlets are cut just right. Slowly, there are plucking strings on his fingertips, as if he is enjoying himself. With each pick, hook and touch, the sound of the piano curls up, deep and pleasant The sound of the piano is as calm and natural as water. It does not compete with all things, but it is in its own style, flowing slowly, undulating slowly and peacefully.Euphemistic and continuous, like a mountain spring meandering from a deep valley.The purple smoke slowly rising from the incense burner added a bit of tranquility to the world.

"Second brother, I'm optimistic!"

Tianchen slowly put down the scroll in his hand and said softly.

It was only half an hour...

"It's faster than I imagined." Tianzheng said in admiration, "You can't be disturbed by my piano sound, but the second brother's piano sound can't reach your ears?"

"No, no!" Tian Chen hurriedly said: "Second brother's piano sound is gentle and soft, it sounds the best when reading a book, it is more reassuring, and it also has the meaning of guiding. Tianchen understands the second brother's good intentions."

"That's good." Tianzheng's tone was gentle: "How does the scroll look?"

"I know every word above, and understand the meaning of every word, but..." Tianchen's face collapsed.

"How?" Tianzheng asked.

"I only understand [-]% of the meaning of each word to form a sentence..."

"Small understanding?" Tianzheng said: "After seeing it a thousand times, it's better to act once. Let's do a drill." Tianzheng pointed to the main entrance of Lianhua Water Pavilion: "For example, that is the gate of the main hall of Xianzong, and that day, People from the Nuwa clan will lead you in through that door..."

Tianzheng got up and stood in front of the main entrance of the Lianhua Water Pavilion, demonstrating step by step...

"The master-student relationship is second only to the father-son relationship, as the old saying goes, 'Parents who give birth to me, masters who teach me', 'Being a teacher is like reincarnation'. Once you enter the teacher's door, you are all disciplined by the master, and even your parents have no right." Intervention, even not being able to meet each other. Therefore, apprenticeship is of great significance, and it naturally requires grand customs and etiquette to confirm, acknowledge, and declare." Tianzheng explained.

Tianchen didn't have parents, so he didn't understand, but he was also moved by the solemnity of these words.

"Tianchen come and study with me." Tianzheng waved to Tianchen.

Tianchen complied obediently, and knelt on the ground to follow Tianzheng's example, studying hard over and over again, even if he learned it, he had to learn it proficiently, so as not to embarrass Xianzong.

Three prostrations and nine prostrations, six ceremonies, bowing down and offering tea, etc...

After doing this over and over again, Tianchen touched his lower waist and knees, feeling sore and painful.But with her second brother doing it with her, she didn't dare to say anything more.

It wasn't until the god attendant put the food on the table that he realized that it was noon and he could have lunch.But the master had told Tianchen to become a vegetarian early on, so Tianzheng dared not disobey it.

After a day of training with Tianchen and two vegetarian meals, Tianchen lay on his back on the carpet and couldn't get up.

"Are you so tired?" Tianzheng asked curiously, why is there nothing wrong with him as a training partner.

"Stand up, kneel, and kowtow..." Tianchen limply turned back and crawled on the carpet, propping his head with his hands, protesting: "Tianchen is a child, he is exhausted, he needs to rest."

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Tianzheng smiled slightly and said, "Why don't you go back tonight, just stay in the Lianhua Waterside Pavilion for the night, and I will send a servant to inform the master."

Stay overnight? ?

Tianchen hesitated and thought for a while, then shook his head violently, and said seriously: "I want to go back, I want to go back to Chonghua Pavilion."

"It's getting late, and you're so tired, why don't you stay?" Tian Zheng said softly.

But Tianchen rolled over and got up neatly from the carpet, became lively and said: "Tianchen is not tired, you can go back."

"So insist on going back?" Tianzheng looked sideways at Tianchen resolutely, and said, "Second brother, isn't it good here?"

"No, no!" Tianchen quickly waved his hand, and said again: "Tianchen recognizes the bed when he sleeps." After finishing speaking, he nodded quickly and added: "That's it, Tianchen recognizes the bed when he sleeps, only the bed in Chonghua Pavilion .”

"Oh!" Tianzheng seemed to have suddenly realized and said to himself: "Is it just a bed? I thought Tianchen wanted to see the master!"

"Second Brother knew it and teased me on purpose." Tian Chen twitched.

Tianzheng smiled lightly, like a small flower on a branch trembling in the spring breeze, as if a few flowers would fall down at any time, Tianchen was stunned for a moment.

"Are you still afraid of Second Brother?"

Hearing this, Tianchen quickly regained consciousness, subconsciously wiped the corners of his mouth, and said, "I'm afraid I'm not afraid anymore, but..." Tianchen's expression was very troubled.

"But what?" Tianzheng raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Second brother, can you stop laughing at me?" Tianchen asked in a low voice.

No one is allowed to smile at her, this is an anecdote through the ages.

"Why? Is it difficult for the second brother to smile?"

"It's not that, it's because the second brother's smile is so pretty, it caused the stupid deer in my heart to keep bumping around, making me very uncomfortable." Tian Chen said seriously.

After hearing this, Tianzheng held back his smile, but he still couldn't stop the curve of his mouth, and the laughter couldn't help leaking out. This little fool, silly girl, is so cute, showing all his true thoughts. If a few hours ago he was wary of her, now... Tianchen is just a child.

Tianchen was ashamed and angry: "Don't laugh at Tianchen, otherwise, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Tianzheng asked subconsciously, always feeling that Tianchen's answer would be amusing and surprising.

"Otherwise, I'll tell Master, just say..." Tianchen said with a serious expression, "Just say you seduced me."

seduce?right?

Tianzheng looked at Tianchen subconsciously, and Tianchen nodded to show that he was serious.

This will not work!

Although Tianchen is small, it is really uncertain who the master will believe.

"Tianchen, you have guessed the real identity of the second brother, then you should know that some spells and instincts are innate and innate. Whether I smile or not, it will be reflected in my every move."

"Natural charm?" Tian Chenxiu asked with a frown, "How can I not be influenced by you?"

"It's enough to settle down." Tianzheng said softly, this time he didn't laugh, but his voice seemed to be more gentle and charming in Tianchen's ears.

How could this be so?
Tianchen immediately got up from the carpet, feeling that he couldn't stay here for long.

"It's getting late, it's time for me to take my leave too, goodbye, second brother!" Tian Chen hastily saluted and left, turning around and running faster than a rabbit.

"Run slowly, do you know the way back? I'll let the god attendant see you off." Tianzheng shouted behind Tianchen.
