Chapter 178 Two Mortals
Zhao Linger smiled indifferently at Lao Zhang's request, "Of course you can! Then I'll show you how ugly you are."
"Hahaha, okay, I haven't heard anyone sing a little song for me for a long time, you sing an old man's song for me."
Xiao Qing couldn't help but hum when she heard this, and she felt that this was obviously aimed at her.
"Hey." Zhao Linger agreed and began to sing the song that Chen Ze had taught her before.
"Three or five strokes on the inkstone, the ink falls and the partridge cries, who knows the meaning of the song, the broken string is waiting for you to tie it.
Oh, my little lover, don't worry, I will only hold your red sleeves for you in this life, after three rounds of wine, the moon is on the branches, and my heart is leisurely.
Oh, my little lady, don't worry, when you come out, the snow will be all over the building, and you will live up to the longevity of heaven and earth..."
When Zhao Linger sang this little song, Chen Ze looked embarrassed, he didn't expect Zhao Linger to choose this one.
But most of the little songs he knew were just these little love songs.
Chen Ze noticed that the expressions of Lao Zhang and Xiao Qing did not change much. Perhaps they did not understand. Anyway, they were quite immersed in the song.
After Zhao Linger finished singing, Lao Zhang and Xiao Qing were speechless for a long time.
They did not understand what Zhao Linger was singing, but Zhao Linger's voice shocked them.
"Although I have not heard the song you sang, you do have a natural good voice and the artistic conception of your singing is also good."
"It is indeed well sung, better than my top singer in Yasong Building."
Lao Zhang suddenly asked: "Miss, can you sing it again?"
"What does the old man mean?" Zhao Linger asked puzzledly.
Chen Ze heard what Lao Zhang meant, "Linger, since Lao Zhang wants to hear it, you can sing it again, or the same song just now."
"Okay, master." Zhao Linger nodded happily.
Zhao Linger agreed, and without delay, she was ready to sing again.
At this time, Lao Zhang took the guqin from Xiao Qing and stroked the strings.
He then sat down, and the guqin was casually placed on his thigh.
Then, Lao Zhang began to stroke the strings, following the tune sung by Zhao Linger, and accompanied by chorus.
As soon as the sound of the guqin came out, Chen Ze was intoxicated, "Sure enough, it would sound better with accompaniment, and it would better show Zhao Linger's singing."
When Lao Zhang's guqin accompaniment joined, Zhao Linger was almost stunned, but she came to her senses in an instant, and the melody was still steady without any mistakes.
Xiao Qing was stunned by the side, she was tempted to dig Zhao Linger to Yasong Tower, but she looked at Chen Ze again and knew that it was impossible.
It's not that she didn't hear Zhao Linger calling Chen Ze master just now.
At the same time, she also knew that the guqin that she tried hard to keep might not be saved.
Zhao Linger and Lao Zhang finished playing together, and both of them showed satisfied smiles, and Lao Zhang's appreciation was stronger.
"Old sir, your playing is really beautiful, is this the sound of the guqin?"
"No, no, it's you who sings well, little girl, what's your name?"
"Old sir, just call me Zhao Linger."
"Miss Linger, you are very talented."
After Lao Zhang finished speaking, he said to Xiao Qing: "Haha, Xiao Qing, let's give this guqin to them.
Don't argue, since Miss Linger likes it, and Miss Linger has a talent for music, this guqin will not be buried if it is given to her."
Xiao Qing pouted and said nothing more. She had no objection to giving this guqin to Zhao Linger.
But when she thought that this guqin was finally given to Chen Ze, she was still a little unhappy.
Old Zhang stood up holding the guqin, "Miss Ling'er, this guqin will be handed over to you in the future. I hope you can treat it well.
I just happen to have a few books about my experience in learning guqin, and I will give them to Miss Ling'er."
After saying this, Old Zhang handed the guqin to Zhao Ling'er.
Zhao Ling'er took it with both hands and looked at Chen Ze hesitantly.
Chen Ze nodded, indicating that she should accept it first.
Old Zhang then groped to a cabinet to find the record of his experience.
Xiao Qing has been supporting him.
"Master, is this not good?" Zhao Ling'er whispered while holding the guqin.
"It's okay. Since Old Zhang feels that you are very talented and he agrees, you can accept it."
"Yes, Master."
Soon, Old Zhang came over holding several thick books.
"These are some of my previous playing experience, Miss Ling'er, take a look. Here are some music scores that I have sorted out. If you like them, you can learn them."
"Thank you, old sir." Zhao Ling'er held the guqin and bowed to thank him.
Seeing this, Chen Ze quickly took the book that Lao Zhang brought over, and then put it all into the space of all things.
"Lao Zhang, how many spirit stones are this guqin? You must name a price, otherwise we dare not accept it."
"Haha, you kid, it's not a valuable thing, it's just an ordinary guqin, I made it myself, just give me a low-grade spirit stone!"
"Okay, we dare not refuse the gift of the elder, so we will accept it."
Then Chen Ze took out a low-grade spirit stone and handed it to Lao Zhang.
"Lao Zhang, thank you very much, take care of yourself, see you later, and I will come to see you again when I have the chance."
"Okay, then I will remember it. Miss Ling'er, if you have any questions, you can come to me at any time."
"Thank you, old sir."
"Goodbye."
Chen Ze, Zhao Linger and Lao Zhang said goodbye and then left Lao Zhang's workshop.
After Chen Ze and Zhao Linger left, Lao Zhang said to Xiao Qing: "Xiao Qing, you can go too!"
Xiao Qing hesitated and said: "Grandpa Zhang, why don't you live in my house? It will be convenient for someone to take care of you. My father misses you very much."
Lao Zhang seemed to remember something and paused for a moment, "Is your father okay?"
"My father is fine, but he often mentions you old people."
"Haha, as long as he is fine, I won't go to your house. It's good here. I have wasted my whole life. Now I can do what I like. This is enough.
And you can come to see me from time to time and talk to me. What else can I be dissatisfied with."
Xiao Qing wanted to say something else, but Lao Zhang interrupted her.
"Haha, go and do your work, take care of yourself, I am already very happy that so many people come to my small shop today."
Outside Lao Zhang's workshop.
After Chen Ze and Zhao Linger came out, they did not go far, but stood there as if waiting for someone.
"Master, what are you doing?"
"No hurry, wait a little longer." Chen Ze said with a smile.
"Master, is it for that little girl?"
Chen Ze hesitated for a moment and said: "Yes and no!
Didn't you notice that we walked around Longqing City for a whole day today, and didn't find any mortals, all of them were immortal cultivators.
Now here, we have met two mortals in a row, and they are two extraordinary mortals."
"?" Zhao Linger looked at Chen Ze in confusion.
