Crown of Silence

"Old Fei, Lao Fei, don't run!"

In the bathroom of the hotel, Ye Qingxuan pressed down the frantic old Fei, pushed him under the bathtub, and then used a brush to brush off the layers of mud on his body.

Crazy, Lao Fei bit Ye Qingxuan back, but did not stop Ye Qingxuan. Ye Qingxuan poured at least half a bottle of low-quality shower gel provided in the hotel on him, and added several spoons of washing powder. He didn't stop until the dog was almost submerged in foam.

This bitch really hasn't had a bath for who knows how long. When Ye Qingxuan brushed him, he even pulled out several small hairpins. I don't know which child pinned them on it.

It wasn't until the dirty water and fallen hair almost blocked the sewer that Ye Qingxuan stopped and nodded with satisfaction:

"This is the right thing to do."

In front of the mirror, Lao Fei stared blankly at himself in the mirror, groaned, and turned away sadly, unable to bear to look at it any more.

This big dog with blond hair tumbling like waves stood up, raised his hand, slapped Ye Qingxuan skillfully, and squatted in the corner without moving.

Under the sunshine at noon, the tips of his hair glowed with a golden light. He looked completely different from the vicious dog that usually ran around in the dirty ditch. He was simply noble and beautiful... But it was It just seems so dirty! I really don’t know how the brain circuits of dogs grow, and it makes me sad to see myself so beautiful.

Now Lao Fei was squatting in the corner, lowering his head sadly and weeping. He could only hold a red wine glass in his hand and recite a sonnet to express his sadness and sadness. Ye Qingxuan only thought that this dog must be suffering from show-off syndrome, and it was so sad that it made people want to beat it.

"Don't be sad, Lao Fei." Ye Qingxuan squatted next to it and comforted: "Look, if you are dirty, I can't take you to take the entrance exam."

Lao Fei is still depressed.

"I have already inquired about it. There will be a reception banquet before this year's entrance examination of the Royal Conservatory of Music. Tonight, you can sneak in with me, sneak into the kitchen, and eat as much as you can."

Ye Qingxuan made his own little calculation: "Fei, think about it, the banquet at the Royal Academy of Music! There must be an unlimited supply of Wells' sausages!"

When he heard bacon sausage, Lao Fei's tail suddenly stood up and his eyes lit up.

"And maybe there will be seafood, meat, and endless 'Looking at the Starry Sky'..."

Looking at the stars?

Suddenly, the way Lao Fei looked at him became dangerous. Ye Qingxuan knew that he had made a mistake, so he just apologized with a shy face: "Don't eat it, why don't we just eat it? In short, you can eat as much as you want with bacon and sausages! Bread is not the kind of dry food that is so hard that it gnaws your mouth. I heard Soft like marshmallows..."

Lao Fei nodded, stuck out his tongue and opened his mouth: This is okay.

"There are also seafood, scallops, lobsters, there are so many..."

"Wow!" Lao Fei became excited, threw himself into Ye Qingxuan's arms, and patted his shoulder hard, as if he was filled with joy when he saw that his little brother had finally grown up and started to respect him.

"Haha, don't move your mouth!"

Ye Qingxuan was rolled around on the ground by Lao Fei, and he was overjoyed.

In the end, one person and one dog finally got tired of tossing and lay down on the messy floor.

The sunlight outside the window shines into the boy's white hair, like the light of flowing mercury.

Ye Qingxuan stared outside the window blankly,

Above the chaotic streets outside the window, the sky is blue and white clouds are rolling in the sky. In the silence, he suddenly laughed silly:

"Lao Fei, I'm going to become a musician..."

-

-

The light of the setting sun at dusk flows through the clouds like flowing water, spreading its brilliance.

A beam of sunlight fell from the sky, shining on the highest palace. Among the tall white walls, the griffin flag flutters in the wind, reflecting the golden color.

The light spread evenly from the top of the palace to the surrounding area, illuminating the urban area of ​​the middle third ring road, rendering everything with a layer of intoxicating golden color.

The dancing white mist shrouded the Lower City, dancing like a sea wave, covering half of this city with a solitary peak. From here, you can only see the faint shadow of Whitechapel District. The deeper you go, the more it becomes blurry, but you can hear the sound of the ocean tide coming from the distance.

This era is like this, the nobles are bathed in the light, and the common people look up to the glory.

Outside the iron gate, Ye Qingxuan hugged Lao Fei and looked up stupidly.

Just behind the towering wall, layers of ancient trees cover the entire school district. Only a corner of the auditorium and bell tower are faintly exposed. The ancient college exudes a quiet atmosphere, and people come and go quietly. Two hundred years ago, when building this place, the architect permeated every place with solemn aura.

Until now, its door is slowly opening, and the breath accumulated over the years is flowing out, which is fascinating.

"Old Fei, let's go, let's go."

Ye Qingxuan finally came to his senses from the sluggishness, waved to Lao Fei, and walked into this ancient college with a giggle and excitement that could not be concealed.

"Candidates coming to the dinner?"

The old gatekeeper wearing a short cloak, holding a short staff, looked down at the excited child, and then at the excited old dog beside him, then nodded and waved for passage.

Seeing the young man running away excitedly, he laughed, leaned on his short stick, propped up his chin, and dozed off.

-

A group of people had already gathered in front of the auditorium.

Right at the main entrance, two polite waiters wearing black formal attire opened the door for the guests with respectful but unflattering smiles.

"Earl of Wellington, long time no see. Is this your daughter?"

Right at the main entrance, the man greeting the guests was wearing a formal dress, trying hard to look solemn with his chest raised, but he looked like a penguin no matter what.

He bent down and saluted the noble man and his daughter: "The dean has been waiting for you for a long time, please come in."

"Mr. Czerny, long time no see. Is your travel around the world over? I look forward to your new works." He nodded to the arrogant young man next to the white-bearded man in the back and praised: "Your son has also reached the age of schooling. Hey, what a young talent, please come in."

He collected the invitation and looked at the next person. Just as he was about to say something, the aristocratic young man walked past him with a cold expression. Only the servant behind him handed the invitation into his hand and followed quickly. Go.

Sidney's expression twitched, but he didn't show any ugly expression, he just smiled.

Most of the candidates invited to the dinner tonight have aristocratic backgrounds, and many of them are the children of musicians. Out of vigilance against the growing civilian faction in the school, the aristocratic musicians of noble blood held this dinner to take the lead in selecting noble new blood from the poor basket of candidates.

But the principal, who had become the leader of the civilian faction over the years, actually turned against the guests and changed the banquet to be for all candidates, resentfully swaying the nobles on the committee.

What was originally a noble banquet turned into a vegetable market. Seeing the common people mixed in the crowd who didn't know etiquette, Sidney felt upset: "How many damn black necks are there in the downtown area?"

"Sir, someone from the Ackerman family is here." A servant reported softly: "It's Mr. Leon's son."

"You didn't tell me earlier!" Sidney's eyes suddenly heated up when he saw the carriage parked in the distance.

The Ackerman family was one of the important guests at this banquet. Leon, as a musician who has become famous in the kingdom in recent years, is one of the important figures attracted by the noble faction.

On such a critical occasion, you must not neglect it.

But as soon as he took two steps, he saw a big golden-haired dog walking past him, exhaling and holding its head high, and glanced at him as it passed... That kind of arrogant look was simply irritating. .

He cursed in his mind: "Wait! Whose dog is it? Come on, get rid of it! How many times have I told you not to let this kind of wild dog come to school!"

"Uh, sorry, that's my dog."

The boy next to him who was stopped by the waiter raised his hand in embarrassment. Sidney looked down at him, and when he saw the civilian clothes he was wearing, he understood...he was a fucking civilian musician again!

One day, the Royal Academy of Musicians of Holy Angel will be defiled by these untouchables until no glory is left!

"Professor, there is something wrong." The attendant whispered: "This gentleman is here to attend the candidates' dinner, but his name is not on the list."

Sidney frowned and slowly stretched out his hand towards Ye Qingxuan. Ye Qingxuan hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand and shook it:

"Hello."

"..."

Sidney's eyes became more and more contemptuous, and he swatted his hand away and asked one word at a time: "Where is the invitation letter? All candidates have invitation letters."

"...Uh, isn't there a letter of introduction?" Ye Qingxuan shrank his neck.

"What kind of letter of introduction? I don't know."

Sidney looked at the musician Leon, who was gradually approaching in the distance, and suddenly became anxious and became more and more impatient: "Go away quickly, don't waste my time."

Ye Qingxuan was stunned and a little confused: "Sir, please check again, there must be some."

"No."

Sidney didn't even look at the list and pushed him away: "Go away."

"Etc., etc!"

Ye Qingxuan was stunned and subconsciously pulled him: "There must be a mistake. My letter of introduction should have been sent to you. I am from the East, my name is Ye Qingxuan, ash.com. You can look for me again." If you look for it, you will definitely find it. Mr. Langdi recommended me."

"I told you, no." Sidney shook off his hand: "No introduction letters have been sent to the academy in the past two days! And I haven't heard of any wolf whistles."

"But……"

"There's nothing wrong with it, kid. This is not a place for you to mess around. Otherwise, you will be whipped by the law enforcement team."

He rolled his eyes at Ye Qingxuan and patted the corner of his clothes that he had touched, as if there was something dirty on it. Then he put on a smile and trotted towards the well-dressed man: "Mr. Leon, Mr. Leon, do you still remember me? I am..."

Ye Qingxuan stared at his back blankly, and after a long time whispered softly:

"impossible……"

He watched the door open again and again, and young people and girls dressed in costumes walked into the soft light of the crystal lamp, and people came and went.

Old Feile came back staggeringly, put the two copper coins he picked up in the grass at Ye Qingxuan's feet, and looked up at him. But it saw the silly smile on the young man's face collapse bit by bit, turning into confusion and fear.

"impossible."

He said softly: "Did they make a mistake somewhere?"

Lao Fei tilted his head and looked at him.

"They must have made a mistake." Ye Qingxuan squatted next to him, biting his lip: "Let's wait... maybe the letter of introduction will be sent after a while."

Until the end, when the dinner started, the letter of introduction had not been delivered.
