Because they were going to Grolev's house as guests, Bob and the others also needed to buy some small gifts, although they only needed to mean something, but they also needed to spend some thought, in order not to delay them to buy spring Jihua, several people unanimously asked to act separately from Gao Yang, and also strongly demanded that Gao Yang must be faster.

There are always a lot of food stalls and hourly houses near every school, and the Lincoln Center for the Arts, which is on Broadway, should not have too many shops selling musical instruments, Gao Yang walked for ten minutes, and found at least four or five musical instrument stores, but Gao Yang remembered Morgan's words, that is, if you want to buy a top-quality musical instrument, you must go to a store that specializes in this kind of musical instruments.

Gao Yang wanted to buy a violin, so he kept looking for a store specializing in violins, and after stopping a random person on the road who was hurrying with a case and asked if there was a store specializing in violins, he soon found a store specializing in violin very close to the Lincoln Center.

Pushing open the glass door of the store, Gao Yang entered the store and glanced around, and found that there were indeed only violins in this store, although the store was not very large, and there were not many violins placed on the walls and on the piano stands, and there were only a few cellos, and there was no situation where Gao Yang imagined the shelves full of violins, but this situation also showed that the things in this violin store were not big road goods.

There were not many people in the store, only two very old-looking old men were talking, and the other were two clerks in suits and white gloves, and the clerks were not young, Gao Yang just entered the door and stood for a while, and a gray-haired clerk walked in front of Gao Yang. Smile: "Welcome." Mr. How can I help you?"

Gao Yang stretched out his hand and swiped in the store and said, "I want to buy a violin, can you introduce it to me?"

The old man smiled and nodded, "Of course, do you have any requirements?"

Gao Yang shook his head and said, "I don't know anything about the violin, so I can't ask for anything." ”

After a moment of silence, the old man still said with a smile on his face, "I'm sorry. Sir, can I ask you what you are buying the violin for? I'm sorry, I have no ill intentions and I don't mean to offend you, I just want to say that the pianos we sell here are all handmade and expensive, if you are a beginner, then these are not suitable for you, it is a waste for you and the violin. ”

It's the first time Gao Yang has seen someone selling something, and it depends on the level of customers, but Gao Yang is not angry about it. People were also kind, and immediately said, "Oh." I bought it for my girlfriend, she's a student at Juilliard, and I wanted to buy a piano for her. ”

"Ah, Juilliard students, that's fine, sir, your girlfriend is so lucky, please come with me, as a young student, I think this violin should be suitable, this violin is from an Italian luthier, although this luthier is not very famous now, but his work has a deep and rich tone, it is very suitable for ensembles, and it can be used as a performance instrument, if your girlfriend is still a student, I think this should be suitable for her, and it costs eight thousand dollars, and I personally think that the price is also appropriate。 ”

Gao Yang didn't know anything about the violin, but Yelena had played it for him once, and he at least remembered Yelena's voice when she played.

"Can you play this violin for me to hear? I want to hear if it matches my girlfriend's style, sorry, I don't know the violin, so I can tell if this one suits her. ”

"Absolutely, it's an honor to help you. ”

The clerk didn't talk nonsense, picked up the bow and came to a while, but Gao Yang shook his head again and again, and after seeing Gao Yang shaking his head, the clerk quickly stopped again.

"I'm sorry, but the sound of my girlfriend's violin, how to put it, seems to be lighter, well, it's just louder and brighter. ”

The clerk smiled, "Is it louder and brighter, and that's a piano for solo, sir, and I'm a little surprised that you, as a layman, can hear the difference, and it seems that your girlfriend plays for you regularly." ”

As he spoke, the clerk stood on a row of piano stands on the wall, and after looking left and right, he reached out and was about to take one of the violins, when he said, "Please wait a minute, can you give me a trial of that piano?"

Gao Yang didn't know anything about the piano at all, so Gao Yang's principle was that the most expensive was haode, and he only had such a way to identify it, and when he saw the clerk pick up a violin with a price tag of 14,000 US dollars, he saw that the most expensive violin in that row was 80,000 US dollars, and Gao Yang felt that a violin that sold for 80,000 US dollars was definitely better than 14,000, so he stopped the clerk's movements, and then put his finger on the most expensive violin.

The clerk chuckled and said, "This piano is the German luthier Peter?" Glenner's work, and this piano is indeed suitable for solo playing, but I must point out that if you order it from Glenner himself, his work usually costs between 47,000 and 57,000 dollars, but it takes a long time, and this piano is ordered by a customer and then resold to our shop, so the price is a bit high, but I have to say that the price is still very reasonable, because the price of Glenner's works usually goes up a lot. ”

Gao Yang nodded and said, "The price is not a problem, please give it a try." ”

After the clerk played the violin worth 80,000 yuan again, although he still couldn't understand it, at least the violin was similar to the sound in Gao Yang's impression.

"This is it, I bought it. ”

The clerk smiled and said, "You must love your girlfriend very much, please come here, sir, because it is valuable, I must give you a certificate, it will take a little time, you can sit down and have a cup of coffee." ”

Gao Yang followed the clerk into a lounge in the store, sat down on a chair, and waited for the clerk to serve him a cup of coffee, the clerk sat opposite Gao Yang, took out a form, and smiled, "Sir." Would you rather use a credit card or a check?"

Gao Yang was about to say that he had to pay in cash. But he was stunned to find an extremely familiar figure walking into the store. He stood up in an excited moment, staring blankly at the figure who walked into the door.

The person who came was Yelena, although I don't know why Yelena appeared near the school at this time, but Gao Yang made a decision in a short moment, that is, not to meet Yelena first, although Gao Yang really wanted to go out and say hello to Yelena, but in this way he could give Yelena a big surprise, but Grolev's surprise was in vain.

Yelena was dressed very ordinary. But the bargains could not hide her beauty, and when Yelena walked into the store with the piano case, even the two old men stopped talking and looked at Yelena intently.

After seeing the two old men, Yelena was also surprised and excited, and then after talking to the two old men with a look of admiration, she handed over the case she was carrying to a clerk with a look of shock and reluctance, and then the two old men continued to talk, but Yelena stood aside alone and began to look intently at a violin locked in a glass case.

Gao Yang can see Yelena though. couldn't hear what she was saying, and Gao Yang was very excited at this time. He had to restrain himself with great difficulty, and it was with great difficulty that he resisted the urge to jump in front of Yelena.

Gao Yang was looking at Yelena, and Yelena was looking at the violin with a wistful expression, she kept the same posture, and looked at the violin for two minutes, during which time she didn't even change the expression on her face, just looked at the locked violin intently.

It wasn't until the clerk who took Yelena's piano box walked back to Yelena's side with a card, and after calling several times, Yelena woke up like a dream, a trace of blush appeared on her face, took a card given to her by the clerk, and said a few words to the two old men, and left the store in a hurry.

Watching Yelena leave, Gao Yang let out a long breath, and then sat down on the chair again, and then the clerk in front of Gao Yang said with a strange face: "Sir, can we continue?"

Gao Yang immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, I don't want this piano, please come with me, let's talk about this piano." ”

Gao Yang hurried out of the hut, and after standing where Yelena had just stood, he looked at the violin locked in the glass case.

There was no price for the violin locked in the glass case, and Gao Yang immediately said to the clerk who received Yelena just now, "I'm sorry, can you tell me what that girl was doing just now?"

The clerk who received Yelena looked at Gao Yang with strange eyes, and said in a deep voice, "She came to repair and adjust the violin." ”

Gao Yang immediately waved his fist excitedly: "Great, can you tell me how much her piano is? Oh, no, I don't want to ask how much, I want to ask if this locked piano is consistent with her piano style?

The clerk who had been receiving Gao Yang said with a strange look at this time: " Sir, if you are going to buy this piano and give it to the girl just now, I'm afraid you will be disappointed, first, we can't sell this piano to you, and second, I am very impressed with the beautiful woman just now, she once announced to one of her suitors at the door of our store that she has a boyfriend, and the suitor may not want to give up, and insisted on showing love to the beautiful girl in public, he was sent to the hospital by the very beautiful girl, and I watched the whole process, so I think it is better for you to buy the piano as the original Jihua and give it to your girlfriend, of course, provided that you have not decided to turn your girlfriend into an ex-girlfriend just now。 ”

Gao Yang understood the strangeness of the clerk who received him, Weishenme, and after smiling modestly, he said in as plain a tone as possible: "I'm sorry, you may have misunderstood, I think I have to tell you that I bought the piano to give it to her, that's right, the girl just now is my girlfriend."
