The priceless ancient inkstones, the invaluable antiques and calligraphy and paintings by famous artists of previous dynasties, and the unique copies collected by Mr. Xunmei over the years are all rare treasures in the world.
After these treasures were damaged to varying degrees by Jiang Huai, Mr. Xunmei hid them away and locked them up.
Jiang Huai has a new hobby.
They searched everywhere for treasure, and then tried to break the lock.
Unfortunately, my fighting skills aren't enough; the treasure is easy to find, but the copper lock is hard to break.
Mr. Xunmei glanced at the little head that had peeked under the bookshelf from afar and said to Fu Qiyuan, "Huai'er has a good temperament and is a promising talent."
Fu Qiyuan nodded with pride and smiled, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, sir!"
It's really embarrassing to tell people that a reclusive Confucian scholar would be teaching a kindergarten child.
Mr. Xunmei said dismissively, "The bamboo hut is lively with many people. All the children like Huai'er and can teach him. How can it be considered troublesome? But what do you think, Sanlang?"
When it comes to Sanlang, Mr. Xunmei is very cautious.
This child is exceptionally intelligent and insightful, able to imbue the mundane world with a pure and ethereal quality. He is the most gifted student he has ever met!
Fu Qiyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Sanlang is only nine years old. Let him study with the teacher for a few more years. I want Sanlang to soar to great heights!"
Mr. Xunmei stared intently at Fu Qiyuan, his eyes revealing a deep contemplation, devoid of ambition.
“Sanlang is simple and straightforward, not suited for officialdom,” said Mr. Xunmei.
Fu Qiyuan shook his head. "That was before. After Sanlang learned what the Pei family had done to Shan'er, his mindset changed! He is Jiao Xian, Shan'er's younger brother, and a son of the Jiao family. He must use his own strength to seek justice for Shan'er and the Jiao family!"
Mr. Xunmei fell silent.
He wasn't unaware of the changes in Sanlang these past few days. Although he was still as cheerful, lively, talkative, and playful as before, he had indeed become much more composed, studied more diligently, and was no longer as impetuous as before when asked to copy paintings.
Even his martial arts skills have improved a lot.
"In that case, I will hone him properly! I can even train a great emperor, how could I not train a Grand Secretary?"
"Thank you, sir!"
Jiang Shan hasn't let Sanlang go to the shop these past few days, worried that those two little vixens, Zisu and Lütan, will come knocking on her door and snatch Sanlang away.
A few days ago, An Er told her that after Qin Mama brought Zisu and Lvtan back, she originally intended to punish them by confining them to their rooms to reflect on their mistakes. However, the two of them started making a scene, threatening to kill themselves. They insisted on seeing Sanlang and demanded that he write down the lyrics and music for "When Will the Moon Be Bright?" for them, or they would go on a hunger strike!
If I can't make a big splash at the Flower Festival, I might as well be killed by my master!
The commotion left Qin's mother with no choice but to cautiously approach Jiang Shan, her head throbbing with fear. She cursed the two vixens, saying they were no longer worth keeping, and then turned to plead with Jiang Shan for mercy.
Jiang Shan was getting a headache from all the entanglement.
She didn't understand lyrics and music, and it was impossible for Sanlang to step forward, so after thinking it over, she had no choice but to push Shen Shusheng out.
Who knew that once Shen Shusheng went, he absolutely refused to go a second time!
Don't ask why, the answer is that I was disliked!
The lyrics were there, but the two beautiful girls complained that he sang it wrong and that it didn't have the right feel!
He's not Sanlang, how can he be compared to Sanlang? He was praising his rendition of "Left Finger Pointing to the Moon" as heavenly just a moment ago, but the next second he complained that his rendition of "When Will the Moon Be Bright?" didn't have the same feel. I'm so angry!
There was no other way; Hongxiufang was still nominally her own company. Although the main products and business model weren't to her liking, she couldn't just ignore the lives of her employees. Modern bosses hate nothing more than employees getting injured on the job!
Three days later, Jiang Shan, dressed in Fu Qiyuan's men's clothing and accompanied by An Er, went to a brothel for the first time in his life.
Upon hearing that her master had arrived, Zisu, who was on a hunger strike, brightened up and rushed into the VIP room, looking alluring yet weak. She then threw herself at Jiang Shan with utter despair, crying, "Master...Master...Young Master, if you hadn't come soon, I would have starved to death!"
Jiang Shan stared in disbelief at Zi Su's sickly expression, and stammered, "You... how did you get yourself into this state?"
"Waaah, I... I haven't eaten or drunk anything for three days, waaah...!" Zisu cried miserably.
Good heavens, they're really going on a hunger strike!
Jiang Shan gasped and shouted to the maid beside Zi Su, "Quickly go and get her something to eat!"
Before the maid could make a move, Qin Mama had already ordered someone to bring a bowl of porridge from the kitchen.
Zisu trembled as she reached out and took the porridge, disregarding all decorum, and gulped it down in front of Jiangshan.
Mother Qin breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from her brow with a handkerchief, and glanced cautiously at Jiang Shan.
Jiang Shan asked, "And who else? Are they also on a hunger strike?"
Green Sandalwood's hunger strike wasn't quite Zen-like. While she was secretly eating pastries, she heard that her master had arrived. Overjoyed, she choked on the pastries and coughed terribly.
When the maid helped him over, he was coughing so hard his eyes were rolling back.
Qin's mother was shocked and rushed forward to hug Lü Tan tightly. "My child, how did she become so sick? Lü Tan, how did you take care of her? Why didn't you go and call a doctor?"
The maid Xiao Lü was extremely aggrieved. She refused to eat the fragrant chicken and matsutake mushroom porridge and insisted on stealing dry and hard pastries. She deserved what she got!
Jiang Shan was also frightened. This was no longer a matter of starvation. He was so sick that he was truly risking his life!
"Quickly, quickly, let's find a doctor to take a look!"
Ignoring everything else, Lü Tan rushed over, grabbed Jiang Shan's hand, and asked with shining eyes, "Young Master Jiao...cough cough...he's here...cough cough cough...Mingyue Qu cough cough...!"
Jiang Shan frowned as he smoothed her vest, and said sternly, "Don't talk yet, get well first! I wrote the song, and I taught Sanlang to sing it. I'm right here, you'll get the melody!"
Green Sandalwood was so happy that she cried and laughed, and shouted to her maid, Little Green, "Water, give me water!"
After drinking a glass of water, I was finally able to speak smoothly.
"Please forgive me, young master. I choked on some pastries just now. Cough cough, but I'm fine now. Would you please demonstrate for us?" Green Sandalwood asked with bright eyes.
country:……!
That's incredibly dedicated... It's mind-blowing!
Half an hour later, all the musicians of Hongxiufang gathered together. Apart from the girls who were entertaining guests, all the other performers had arrived and were waiting for Jiangshan to speak.
Jiang Shan had done a live stream in front of millions of fans, and that long-lost feeling came back.
She cleared her throat and began to sing without any hesitation.
Green Sandalwood, Purple Perilla, and several other performers also hummed along, each one more earnest than the last.
Jiang Shan sang it once, and the musicians had already composed the music.
Next, Zisu sang the piece according to the musician's score, while Jiangshan listened from the side, correcting her mistakes and giving suggestions from time to time.
When the girls had finished singing, Jiang Shan got up to say goodbye.
Zisu ran forward shyly, hugged Jiang Shan's arm and shook it, "Young master, I have already ordered someone to prepare some wine, why don't we..."
