Chapter 135: Encounter the Guqin Again

"Boss Li, I'm here," Wen Fangfei called.

Hearing her voice, a middle-aged man about fifty years old came out of the room, he was a little shriveled, thin and small, but his eyes were shining with the light of a musician.

Liu Yan noticed that he had a pair of slender hands, presumably this Boss Li must also be good at musical instruments.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you here," Boss Li said with a smile, seeing the two girls beside Wen Fangfei, "Did you introduce me to new customers?" In his tone, he was very familiar with Wen Fangfei.

"No, they are from the piano department, and they will accompany me to repair the piano," Wen Fangfei said, putting the guzheng on the ground and opening the outer protective case.

"Oops, why did the strings become like this!" Boss Li squatted down sadly, he picked up the broken strings and looked at them, and knew that they were cut by a knife, "The person who did this is too lacking in morality." ”

Boss Li took out a magnifying glass and began to check the body of the piano, very carefully and rigorously, touching his hands little by little, and not letting go of every inch of his eyes, "Fortunately, I just cut the strings." ”

Wen Fangfei was completely relieved, "Please help me put on a new string." ”

"It will take a little time to change the 21 strings at the same time," Boss Li said, "Do you go back first and wait for me to fix it and notify you to come over, or wait here?"

Wen Fangfei looked at Liu Yan and Li Xiaoru, Li Xiaoru said, "Just wait here, let's get it done, let's go back to practice." ”

Wen Fangfei nodded and said to Boss Li, "We are in a hurry to use the piano." ”

Boss Li understood, "I will fix it as soon as possible." ”

He put Wen Fangfei's guzheng on an empty table, took out a large toolbox from the inside, and spread it out, which contained handfuls of guzheng strings of different thicknesses, as well as special tongs and special drivers for various musical instruments.

"You guys sit down for a while, it's estimated that you'll have to wait about two hours," Boss Li brought the three stools to the girls, and then began to concentrate on repairing the piano.

Liu Yan didn't sit down, she first watched how Boss Li repaired the piano for a while, and found that his technique was the same as the technique taught to her by Mrs. Xu, after all, ancient musical instruments are ancient musical instruments, two thousand years have passed, everything is as usual, and no new tricks have been revealed.

Boss Li felt her serious and inquiring gaze, and wondered in his heart that the students of the piano department also know how to repair the guzheng?

Wen Fangfei was also paying attention to Liu Yan's actions.

After Liu Yan finished repairing the qin, she walked to the guqin next to her.

The biggest difference between the guqin and the guzheng is the number of strings, the guqin has 7 strings, and the Han Dynasty where Liu Yan lived in his previous life, the guzheng only has 5 strings, the difference between the two is not as big as it is now, if you study and practice seriously at that time, Liu Yan should actually be able to learn the guzheng quickly.

However, after two thousand years of evolution, the number of strings in the guzheng has increased, ranging from 13 to 26 strings, while the guqin has always had only 7 strings.

Compared to Wen Fangfei's 21-string guzheng, the guqin looks much smaller, like a miniature version of the guzheng.

This piano is very similar to Mrs. Xu's piano, the surface of the body is inky paint, and the belly is also broken by running water. Liu Yan didn't expect to see such a piano in the future, which made her think of Mrs. Xu in a trance.

Boss Li, who was repairing the guzheng, raised his head and saw Liu Yan in a daze at the qin, and couldn't help laughing, "Classmate, do you fancy this guqin? You are very knowledgeable, this qin is imitated according to the ancient famous qin 'Luqi' in a one-to-one ratio, although it is a copycat, but the materials are high-quality, the workmanship is fine, it is worth collecting, after all, the real product has long been destroyed, and there is no slag left." ”

Boss Li saw that Liu Yan was still in a daze, thinking that she didn't understand her words, "Oh, you are a student of the piano department, you shouldn't understand 'Luqi', I'll talk to you about ...... science."

"'Luqi' is the Western Han Dynasty Sima Xiang's qin, the whole body of the piano is black, faintly glowing with green, like green vines wrapped around the ancient wood, only to be named "Luqi", your guqin, although black, but not green, imitation is very fake. ”

Liu Yan's words made the three people in the store stunned.

Li Xiaoru admired Liu Yan so much that she had never even heard of the word 'Luqi'.

And Wen Fangfei has a guess in her heart - can Liu Yan play the guqin?

was said that the piano was not good, Boss Li did not have a bit of an angry expression on his face, but asked Liu Yan with great interest, "It seems that you know 'Luqi' better than me, then you can give me a science popularization, what is 'Luqi' like, you must know that it has long disappeared in the vast river of history, none of us have any luck to see, unless we travel to two thousand years ago." ”

Where did Boss Li know that his luck was really good, and he met Liu Yan who crossed over from two thousand years ago, Liu Yan continued, "The material of your piano is really good, and it is the best paulownia wood, but in fact, 'Luqi' is made by combining paulownia wood and catalpa wood, and there is an inscription at the bottom of the piano that says 'Tongzi Hejing'." ”

Boss Li laughed, "It's like you've really seen it, and you even know what to write under the piano." ”

Liu Yan also smiled and did not explain again.

She did see "Lu Qi", Sima Xiangru was friends with Mrs. Xu's grandfather, and once taught her the guqin when Mrs. Xu was a child.

In the year that Mrs. Xu entered the palace, Sima Xiangru, who was old and critically ill, sent "Luqi" to Mrs. Xu as a gift from him to her to become a palace concubine. So far, "Luqi" has been kept by Mrs. Xu, and then Mrs. Xu was sent to the cold palace, and "Luqi" was also brought into the cold palace.

Mrs. Xu used this "Luqi" to enlighten her and carefully taught her the guqin, so to speak, she grew up playing "Luqi". Later, Mrs. Xu died, and Liu Yan asked the palace people to bury her with "Luqi".

The palace people ostensibly agreed, and left with Qin and Mrs. Xu's remains, she is still not sure, whether these palace people have fulfilled their promises, and whether Mrs. Xu really sleeps with "Lu Qi", these are probably eternal mysteries.

"Yan Yan, what are you thinking? Why did you suddenly become so sentimental," Li Xiaoru walked up to Liu Yan and interrupted her memories.

Liu Yan came back to her senses and said with a smile, "I just thought of some things from the past. ”

Past?

Li Xiaoru was confused, she felt that in the past two years of college life, Liu Yan looked very happy and happy, but since she fainted last semester, she began to look like her.

There is still research on the guqin, Li Xiaoru thought, so she curiously plucked the strings with her fingers, "Eh, the sound is completely different from the guzheng." ”

The other three all laughed, how did Li Xiaoru know, she was the only one present who was a layman in folk music, Wen Fangfei explained, "The timbre of the guqin is low and rich, while the timbre of the guzheng is bright and gorgeous, just like the difference between cello and violin in your Western musical instruments." ”
