Early the next morning, a piece of news that shocked the whole capital spread all over the streets and alleys.

Zhirong had already gotten up and finished washing, and as soon as Mingyue put a bowl of steaming jasper stem rice porridge and a few small snacks such as pickled cucumbers and mille-feuille ice cream on the table, the green water rushed up all of a sudden, panting and reporting the news to Gu Zhirong word for word.

Gu Zhirong didn't have the slightest surprise on her face, an accident in a piano shop didn't seem to have much to do with her, right? If there was any influence on anyone, it would naturally be those artists who played the piano for a living, and those aristocratic ladies who liked to play the piano, such as Miss Bi Er and the like.

Seeing that Gu Zhirong didn't react at all, Lu Shui couldn't help but be a little discouraged: "Miss, don't you think it's a pity?" I heard that the Yuyin Qin Store is one of the most famous piano stores in our capital, and the pianos in it are very precious, and some rare guqins are also preserved. Although the fire did not burn down all the piano stores, I heard that the fire was saved in time, but about half of the piano inside was burned, which is a pity. ”

Although Lu Shui can't play the piano, as most people think, it is somewhat regrettable that the good piano was burned by a fire even if it was light and clever.

"What is the reason for the water walking?" Gu Zhirong asked while drinking the fragrant stem rice porridge one by one.

Rather than caring about those pianos, she was more concerned about the cause of the fire accident.

Lu Shui thought for a while and said, "The incident happened too suddenly, there are different opinions, and the slaves and maids are not very clear. I heard that it seems to be a small helper in the piano store on duty, and he has only been working for half a year. Some precautions for the piano shop should not be clear, I heard that I am afraid of cold at night, so I moved the brazier into the room. Not wanting the sparks to splash out and burning the curtain, the little helper was awakened by the smoke, but at that time the fire was already very fierce, and the little helper was frightened when he saw it, and fled in a hurry overnight. That's why. The best time to put out the fire was delayed, and by the time the people living nearby found out, the fire was out of control. That's why about half of the piano shop was burned. ”

Gu Zhirong nodded. Yes, the weather is cold in winter, and the matter of walking water happens from time to time in winter, if the fire is not put out in time. I only think I'm unlucky.

"Sit down and have breakfast. Gu Zhirong said to a room of girls. "Don't worry, your young lady doesn't like to play the piano and has no research on the piano, so it's none of my business how many pianos people burn, I'll just listen. ”

Gu Zhirong's tone was relaxed, and his words made everyone laugh.

Mu Jin said with a smile: "Fortunately, Miss is a person who doesn't love the piano, if she loves the piano, I heard that my beloved piano was burned." But I was distressed to death. ”

Xue Yan also interjected: "No, I heard that the owner of the piano shop burned nearly half of the piano when he heard it." I rolled my eyes on the spot and passed out. The crowd was frightened and pinched for a long time before the person woke up. As soon as the boss woke up, he cried and grabbed the ground, saying that the pianos in his piano shop were not all his own pianos, and some of them were still customers who came to ask for maintenance and existed here. Some of the pianos are very precious, and this fire is all burned, so how can he pay for others? He has old and young, and he has old and young......." Speaking of this, she shook her head, "It's really miserable for a big man to cry in the street." ”

At this time, Gu Zhirong could only sigh that there was no such thing as "insurance" in this era. If Qin is insured, then someone will naturally pay for the loss, and the boss will not be so unlucky.

At this moment, a commotion suddenly sounded not far away.

Gu Zhirong frowned slightly, she remembered that her Liuyun Courtyard was the most remote corner of the mansion, and it was rarely visited. It's the time of breakfast for the whole house, and it's strange that there will be a commotion.

Green Water was the first to go out to see what was going on.

Soon, Lu Shui turned back and said to Gu Zhirong, "Miss, Second Miss is coming towards us." ”

Gu Zhirong sighed.

It's a bit strange. Could it be that Miss Cheng missed herself so much that she came over to have breakfast with her?

Gu Zhirong stood up, no matter what, since the second sister came over, she, as a younger sister, should go out to greet her.

So she got up and took Lu Shui and the others to the gate of the courtyard. I happened to see the second lady walking hurriedly along the path between the flowers. The second lady's face was very anxious, and she was in a hurry, and Cuihuan, who was following behind, was almost about to run. Even so, the second lady had no intention of stopping.

Seeing that the second lady was about to walk in front of her courtyard, Gu Zhirong called out: "Second sister!"

The second lady just walked with her head down, and she didn't see Gu Zhirong standing at the gate of the courtyard, and when she heard the call, she raised her head, and then she saw Gu Zhirong: "Fifth sister, are you here?"

The pace of his feet slowed down a bit.

Gu Zhirong stepped out of the hospital door and asked, "Early in the morning, the second sister is in such a hurry, where are you going?"

The second lady's tone was full of anxiety: "Fifth sister, have you heard that the piano shop was burned by fire? I heard that many pianos in it have been destroyed, and I still have a piano stored there for maintenance, and I don't know if my piano has been burned!"

Speaking of this, the second lady's brows furrowed even tighter, and there was a look on her face that was about to cry: "That's a good piano, it's hard to find in the world, I went to the market with my father at that time, and I liked it as soon as I saw it, so I had to buy it for me with my father." Fortunately, my father loved me and took out 15,000 taels of silver to buy this piano for me as a birthday gift. Even at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, I was reluctant to take out this piano and play it. In the past two days, I thought that I should take care of it, and I just got to the Yuyin piano store yesterday, and I never thought that I heard that something happened there early this morning. You say, can I not be in a hurry in my heart?"

Cuihuan, who followed closely, hurriedly persuaded: "Miss, the slave maid knows that the piano is your treasure, but how can you go out without breakfast, and besides, the carriage in this house has not been prepared yet, and there is a carriage parked at the east gate, but it is carrying goods, how can you sit on people.......?"

"No, I have to go and see for myself!" The second lady refused categorically, and she was indeed a person who loved the Qin as much as her life.

Gu Zhirong thought for a while and said, "Second sister, you see that at this time, there must be a mess over there in the piano shop, that boss is busy counting the losses, where can he take care of you? Besides, it's not that you alone put the piano there, right, there are so many people in the whole capital, the boss has to count and check it one by one, so that he can tell whose piano was burned and whose piano was lucky to escape this catastrophe." So, even if you rush there at this time, it's useless, and that boss doesn't have time to deal with you?"

The second young lady thought about Gu Zhirong's words seriously, and slowly paused.

In fact, what Gu Zhirong said is not unreasonable. The current situation, for the boss of Yuyin Piano Shop, is the worst. That boss must be busy. Taking a step back, it's not just your own piano that is stored there, maybe there are many famous people who are also storing their pianos there. When the time comes, when I get there, the boss will not have time to take care of those nobles, so where will he take a step out to deal with himself? Even if he goes there early, I am afraid that it will be in vain.

But her piano!

As soon as she thought of this, the look of anxiety on the second lady's face suddenly appeared. (To be continued......)
