After looking at the material and strings of the guqin, Xiao Yao immediately checked the engraving of the back, bottom and case.

The paragraph is recognized: the belly section "Xuanhe two years of imperial system", "Kangxi Gengwu Wang Hanzhang rebuilt". The piano box is engraved with "Song Dynasty Flowing Water Flying Red Qing Dynasty Qianlong Xinyou New Year's Dress", "Yongbao Used". The back of the piano is engraved with the title "Qianlong Renxu Imperial Reward".

There is no doubt that this piano is the Northern Song Dynasty Huizong Imperial Production, Qing Qianlong Imperial Ming "Flowing Water Flying Red" Qin, Xuanhe style, the neck and waist are concave into the half-moon shape, the intersection of the reproduction of the protruding half-moon shape, the body is broad and heavy, the antlers are gray, the chestnut shell color paint, the ice between the belly lines of the face snake is broken, and the bottom is finely flowing water and the cow hair is broken.

Since ancient times, the famous guqin has been inherited from ancient times, and the famous ones have been handed over, repaired properly and the sound of the qin is not damaged.

This Northern Song Dynasty Song Dynasty Huizong imperial production of the Qing Qianlong Imperial Ming "Flowing Water Flying Red" piano and piano box, after several generations of the Inner House collection, intact as before, the description is detailed, the context of the collection is clear, Xiao Yao can conclude that this piano is the Northern Song Dynasty Xuanhe two years of the imperial palace official qin, Qianlong Xinyou year box, Qianlong Renxu year imperial reward is undoubted, should be the only typical of the Northern Song Dynasty official qin existing in the world.

It's not hard to tell this point, and a few key details are enough to prove it.

Xiao Yao first looked at the strings, the strings were as white as ice strings, similar to the "silk Taiqing strings" of Gongzang Kangxi, and should be the same as the Hangzhou weaving institute at that time.

In the "Miscellaneous Work Records of the Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs" of the first historical archives in China, it is recorded that on October 19 of the fourth year of Yongzheng, there was a decree to change the strings and feet, and the feet were decorated with five-color velvet; on June 4 of the fifth year, a decree was issued to clean up the feet; and on the first day of April of the sixth year, an order was issued to change the jade feet and add tassels.

Today's "flowing water flying red" green jade is sufficient, which should also be matched at that time.

Although the tassel has been decolored for hundreds of years, the knotting process is consistent with the practice of retaining the rope tassel in the * palace, and it should also be added at the same time.

Continue to look down, the rectangular dragon pond phoenix swamp, the right in the belly pond is engraved "Xuanhe two years of imperial system", the left is engraved "Kangxi Gengwu Wang Hanzhang rebuilt", first engraved after the book with a red pen.

Under the dragon pond, the turquoise stone is filled with the name of the lishu piano "flowing water flying red". Chishang engraved three lines of clouds: "Ancient brocade Tao Longmen qin, Zhu Xian long break thunderbolt sound." Anderberga empathized with his hand and wrote the heart of the landscape for Yu Yi".

Another line of small characters, cloud: "Qianlong Renxu Imperial Reward and Title". All are filled with mud gold. Whereabouts of the vermilion white text round chapter "see the heart of heaven" side, gold emblem.

These details are enough to support Xiao Yao's judgment.

This piano has been preserved so far, the body of the piano is completely the original appearance of the Song Dynasty, the piano box and the accessories on the piano are all the old things of the Qing Palace, the favor of the two emperors, after a long time of secret storage, now with a full set of old appearance to pass down to the present, it is naturally the king of the piano, the weight of the treasure.

Xiao Yao attaches great importance to this guqin, and the above is not the point, the focus is on the materials used in this qin.

Many people think that the material of this guqin is sycamore wood, but in fact, the material of this guqin is called "Qingyin wood", and the appearance characteristics are very close to sycamore wood.

However, the value of Qingyin wood is much higher than that of plane tree.

Qingyin wood is a first-class spirit wood, although it is only the lowest level of spirit wood, the value is not high, but it has a characteristic, that is, if you use this wood to make a guqin, the sound is like a heavenly sound, very beautiful.

In ancient times, many famous guqin masters dreamed of this ordinary first-class spirit wood, but unfortunately Qingyin wood is very rare, although the level is not high, but to make a guqin from this, it is extremely difficult.

This famous flowing water flying red qin in history turned out to be made of Qingyin wood, which was of course a surprise for Xiao Yao.

Panwu has a very high attainment in music, especially for various ethnic ancient musical instruments, and it is a grandmaster-level level. Xiao Yao inherited the musical talent of Panwu, and was naturally overjoyed when he saw this guqin made of Qingyin wood.

In terms of value, if this flowing water flying red qin in the Northern Song Dynasty is auctioned, the auction price should be between 300 million and 350 million yuan, and there is also a premise that the appraiser must have an understanding of the timbre of this guqin, and there will be this price after the audition.

If the appraiser doesn't know that the timbre of this guqin is special, then he will definitely not dare to play this sky-high guqin worth more than 100 million yuan, and if he does not dare to try it, one of the most important features of this guqin will be buried.

Without this selling point, the auction price of this guqin is about 150 million yuan at most.

After appreciating, Xiao Yao couldn't wait to try it out.

Since the environment in the Holy Soul Realm has changed greatly, the scenery is beautiful, like a fairyland, Xiao Yao under the majestic mountains, next to the gurgling stream, took out the flowing water flying red qin, and played a classical song "High Mountains and Flowing Water".

This song "Mountains and Flowing Water" is a household name, and its origin is even more fascinating.

Yu Boya, Mingrui, Boya is his word, a native of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Yu Boya is proficient in piano skills and is very good at playing the piano.

Yu Boya first met Zhong Ziqi at the mouth of the Hanyang River, Zhong Ziqi said that he was also proficient in music scores and could play the piano, but Yu Boya looked at his dress, not like a high-ranking person, and he was suspicious.

So he asked a lot of professional instrumental questions to test him, Zhong Ziqi not only answered fluently, but also a few family treasures, his musical literacy and his clothing were very different, but this did not completely eliminate the distrust in Yu Boya's heart.

In order to better test Zhong Ziqi's understanding of the music, Yu Boya played a song on the spot, and as soon as the sound of the piano fell, Zhong Ziqi exclaimed: "It's beautiful, the meaning of adults, in the high mountains." ”

Boya continued to play a song without leaking his voice, and he indulged in it and praised: "It's beautiful, and the ambition is to run water." ”

Boya was shocked, pushed the piano and got up, and repeatedly saluted and confessed: "There is a treasure of beautiful jade in the stone, if you judge people by their appearance, will you not live up to the wise men of the world? Disrespect! Disrespect!"

Subsequently, Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi became brothers with different surnames, and agreed to meet again the following year.

This piano, this song, and this story have been passed down through the ages, and have been praised by later generations and given people a deep inspiration.

This piece is an ancient song that Xiao Yao personally likes very much, and he has played it many times. But at this moment, at the foot of the high mountain and by the stream, playing it with this flowing water flying red piano, his mentality is extremely in line with the artistic conception of this song.

After the song was played, Xiao Yao was very happy.

When he played this piece before, his performance was not necessarily worse than this time, but the effect after playing it was far from the same, and this is the difference between a good piano.

For a musician, the instrument is the weapon in their hands, and this flowing water flying red qin is like a peerless sword.

Xiao Yao played a few classic guqin songs in a row, and then he ended the audition.

The guqin made of Qingyin wood is really like the legendary timbre, and Xiao Yao is very satisfied.

Although Xiao Yao is very satisfied, this guqin is not without any shortcomings. This guqin not only has shortcomings, but also obvious shortcomings.

For the guqin, the wood used to make the guqin is the most important, but in addition to the wood, the strings are also very important.

Although the strings of this flowing water flying red piano are also carefully made by famous artists, because of the gap in materials, they cannot give full play to the full characteristics of Qingyin wood.

In order to make this guqin perfect, Xiao Yao has to build the strings by himself.

It just so happened that in addition to alchemy, Xiao Yao was also proficient in refining. And the level of Qingyin wood is not high, refining a few strings worthy of Qingyin wood, he is completely competent.

Do what you think.

Since the Great Change in the Holy Soul Realm, the types and quantities of first-level spiritual plants in the Holy Soul Realm have increased dramatically, and it is not difficult to find a few good materials for refining strings.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he had prepared the few materials that Xiao Yao needed to refine the strings.

These materials are all first-level spiritual materials, it's not that Xiao Yao can't come up with better spiritual materials, but there is no need for this.

The strings are only the auxiliary of the flowing water flying red qin, and the core element is still the sound wood.

Within an hour, a few strings like ice threads were refined.

The grade of these ice threads is not high, and after refining, they are only first-class materials.

But that's exactly what Xiao Yao needs.

Qingyin wood is just a first-level spiritual material, as an auxiliary string, if the level is too high, it will play a suppressive role, refining it into a first-class string, and the effect is just right.

On the second day, I woke up half an hour later than before.

This is the habit of the Fang family, every rest day, breakfast will be prepared more heartily, so the time to start the meal will be a little later.

After breakfast, Fang Suxi was very good and improvised a few piano pieces for everyone.

Fang's father and Fang's mother are both big fans of their daughter, and they will give the warmest applause whenever a song ends.

played 4 piano pieces in a row, and Fang Suxi stopped.

"Susu has made great progress, it seems that he should work hard in school during this time. "Her daughter's performance has obviously improved, which makes Fang's mother feel very gratified.

"There is a little bit of progress, but it's still far from it. My goal is to catch up with Xiao Yao's playing level, and it is not easy to achieve this goal, and this small improvement is not worth mentioning at all. ”

During this time, Fang Suxi did not relax at all about his profession, and practiced hard every day, which made such obvious progress.

But this kind of progress obviously can't satisfy her, with Xiao Yao Zhuyu in front, she feels that she is still far behind.

"What's the matter, Xiao Yao can also play the piano, and he plays it very well?" Fang's mother was surprised.

"It's not very good, it's very good, if I can catch up with him in my life's piano performance, then I'll be satisfied. Fang Suxi nodded again and again.

"Xiao Yao is really versatile, Su Su, this kid is usually very modest, but he never admits defeat in piano performance, I didn't expect to praise a person so much today, it seems that Xiao Yao's piano performance level must be very high, I don't know if we have this honor, listen to you play a song in person?"

After all, it was the father-in-law's request, and Xiao Yao also had a little itchy hands after listening to his girlfriend's performance, so he readily agreed: "Then I'll play two tunes and ask my uncle and aunt to taste them." ”

Xiao Yao didn't play those difficult show-off tracks, he first played a song "Dream Wedding", then played a song "City in the Sky", and later played a show-off song "Wild Bee Flying" at the request of Fang Suxi, which ended the performance.

It wasn't until the piano sound was long over that Fang's father and Fang's mother came back to their senses and gave warm applause. Although it was the two of them who applauded, because the two of them were too excited in their hearts and their hands were very hard, the applause turned out to be quite enthusiastic.

"Xiao Yao, I really didn't expect your piano performance attainments to be so high, I think your level is not worse than those top pianists in the world." Father Fang couldn't help but admire.

I only listened to Christian's live performance some time ago, and I think his performance level doesn't seem to be as good as Xiao Yao's. Fang's mother was very shocked, he didn't expect Xiao Yao's piano performance level to be so high.

"You've won a prize. Xiao Yao was rarely humble.

Fang Suxi said with honor: "Xiao Yao is proficient in a variety of musical instruments, not only playing the piano well, but also violin and cello. He is especially good at playing national instruments, and if we have time, we can let him show his hand and hear how he is doing with other instruments. ”

Xiao Yao's versatility has exceeded Fang's father's imagination, he continued to ask: "Xiao Yao is still proficient in national musical instruments, he is really versatile, I like to listen to guqin music the most, I don't know if you are proficient?"

"My personal favorite instrument is the lyre, and my attainment in playing the lyre is also the highest, if Uncle Fang is interested, I can play a song for you. ”

Xiao Yao had just gotten the Flowing Water Flying Red Piano, and he had configured new strings, which was the time when he was most interested in playing, so he didn't postpone it.

Fang's father slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "This is really good! There are not many famous people who play the lyre in China, plus I am usually busy with work, I haven't heard a high-level lyre performance for a long time, I will prepare a lyre at home another day, I can't wait to feast my ears." ”

"Aren't you busy at work today?"

"Today is a rest day, so I won't go to the unit in the morning, but I have to participate in the foreign affairs reception in the afternoon, so I only have half a day off. "For Lingdao like Fang's father, overtime on rest days is the norm.

"If that's the case, then there's no need to change the day, I have a lyre in my car, and I can play a song for you right now. Xiao Yao said briskly.

"Really? It seems that you are really a lover of the qin, and you even carry a guqin with you, and I can't wait to hear you play it now. Father Fang looked surprised.

"It's so nice today, why don't we go to the yard and listen to you play? Fang Suxi had never heard Xiao Yao play the guqin, and he was also very interested in it.
