Chapter 160: A Powerful Piano Maker

"The beam?"

Wang Guan hesitated and puzzled: "Uncle Lei, didn't you say that you are going to use hundred-year-old cedar wood to make furniture?" ”

"Speaking of which, I'm going to mention it. Wang Guan, you are too straight to play collectible. ”

At this time, Lei Yunzhang sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "For example, that package of aged Tibetan tea can be dished with a few hundred yuan." Because of your words, Feibai offered a sky-high price of 300,000. It's also that you two brothers have a good relationship, if you change to someone else, you have to turn your face. ”

Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, his face was a little silent.

Seeing this situation, Yu Feibai hurriedly said: "Uncle Lei, don't blame Wang Guan. Actually, looking at the conditions of that family, I was embarrassed to be ruthless. ”

"You young people, but you are soft-hearted." Chapter 160: A Powerful Violinist

Lei Yunzhang shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't say much." When you experience more later, you will know. Offering a high price and giving more money is not necessarily a good thing for them. ”

Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were a little confused, and they didn't quite understand Lei Yunzhang's words.

"Okay, I'm talking about the bottle, what are you doing all of a sudden?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Ma Fusheng hurriedly said: "Come, drink, eat, and then I'll tell you what the idea of this bottle design comes from." ”

After a lot of staggering, the atmosphere also eased.

At this time, Yu Feibai asked, "Uncle Fusheng, can you talk about it now." ”

"It's not interesting to say it straight, but you can guess." Ma Fusheng smiled and said: "This thing was very popular in ancient times, and it is really not very common in modern times. Think about it. What kind of wine are we drinking now? ”

"Wenjun wine." Yu Feibai was stunned, and suddenly said thoughtfully: "Isn't it, the shape design of this bottle has something to do with Zhuo Wenjun?" ”

"That's the right idea." Ma Fusheng nodded approvingly, and then guided: "Continue to trace upward, if you mention Zhuo Wenjun, what will you think of?" ”

"Sima is similar. Feng Qiu Chapter 160 The powerful qin master Huang ......" Yu Feibai pondered and meditated.

"Jean!"

At the same moment, Wang Guan had a flash of inspiration and said with joy: "Guqin." The shape of the bottle is very similar to a guqin, especially the silk strips on the bottle. It's like a string. ”

"Hehe, you guessed it."

Ma Fusheng laughed and nodded: "The design inspiration for Wenjun's wine bottle comes from the guqin. Therefore, it looks gorgeous and generous, simple and elegant. And, once you know what it means, you can't forget it. ”

"That's true."

Wang nodded and admitted, suddenly looked at Lei Yunzhang, and speculated: "Then, Uncle Lei, you buy that hundred-year-old fir tree." Is it to make a guqin? ”

"You're still clever and guessed right again."

Lei Yunzhang said with a smile: "Generally speaking, the best materials for making a violin are paulownia wood and catalpa wood. However, now there are fewer and fewer sycamore trees (white paulownia) and green paulownia trees. Presently. Most of the materials used to make guqin are paulownia. It's just that because of the wood problem, the paulownia has a short timbre life, and the guqin made is of very low grade. ”

"I want to make a really good piano. Materials are also essential foundations. Therefore, the old fir wood has become the first choice for luthiers to make luthiers. In general, the wood of the new shirt wood is whitish, and the wood color becomes more and more yellow over time. Among them, the golden-yellow wood is the oldest, and it has a strong fragrance. ”

Lei Yunzhang said a little proudly: "The old house beam I bought has already reached this level. ”

Yu Feibai was surprised: "Even Fang Liang can make pianos?" ”

"I don't know. Not only the old beams, but also the ancient threshold, and even the coffin, are also good materials for making violins. Because in ancient times, it was more important to pay attention to the yang house and the yin house, so the wood used was good. Moreover, these woods can be passed down for hundreds of years without decaying, indicating that their wood properties are stable. ”

Lei Yunzhang chuckled: "Even if it is a good new wood, when making the violin, it must be put aside for a period of time, and only when the wood is stable can it be made." Otherwise, it will affect the timbre of the piano. ”

"Of course, good materials are just the basis for making a good instrument. If you want to make a good piano, the decisive role is the experience and skill level of the luthier, as well as the groove structure of the piano and the treatment of the lacquer tire. ”

Lei Yunzhang sighed: "From material selection, sawing, planing, trenching, gluing, ash pushing, grinding, emblem and other processes, we are meticulous and never take it lightly." Otherwise, if you are not careful, a piano will be ruined. ”

"Uncle Lei, you seem to be very good at making violins." Wang Guan felt a little strange.

"You don't know, Yunzhang is a family heirloom."

At this time, Ma Fusheng said with a smile: "The ancestor of Yunzhang is a famous luthier master. Now in the Palace Museum, there are also a few famous pianos made by the ancestors of Yunzhang and handed down. ”

"What is it......" Wang Guancai asked.

Next to him, Yu Feibai opened his mouth and said, "Is it the Nine Heavens Ring, the Great Sage's Last Voice." ”

"Hey, how do you know that?" Ma Fusheng said with a smile: "This matter, Yunzhang told me, otherwise I wouldn't know that his ancestor is so powerful." ”

"There are many guqins in the Forbidden City, but these two are the most famous." Yu Feibai explained: "I heard that it was called Lei's Qin, which was handed down from the Tang Dynasty. Originally, I don't really remember, but as soon as you said it, Uncle Fusheng, I remembered it. ”

"If you take your name directly, then it's definitely unusual." Wang Guan said with a smile.

"This is a sure thing, I usually listen to Yunzhang boasting, and I was curious to check it, only to find that Yunzhang's ancestor is even more brilliant than I imagined."

Ma Fusheng sighed: "According to historical records, the Lei family has made pianos for generations. After arriving in the Tang Dynasty, there was a person named Lei Wei who was the most famous, and legend has it that his skills were instructed by the gods, and even the emperor was impressed by the qin. Anyway, in the entire Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years, the palace and the pianos used by dignitaries and nobles were monopolized by their families. ”

"It's an exaggeration."

Lei Yunzhang modestly added, "However. In the Tang Dynasty, there were indeed many people in the Lei family, who were technicians who specialized in making violins for the court. ”

"So, Uncle Lei, you are also proficient in the production process of guqin?" Wang Guan was curious: "So, I bought the old fir wood and came back, and I plan to make my own piano?" ”

"How is that possible?" Lei Yunzhang hurriedly shook his head and said, "As early as more than a thousand years ago. Due to the wars and turmoil at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Lei clan's violin making skills. It's already lost. In my generation, I knew that my ancestors had such a period of glory, so I went to make friends with a few violinists. I just know some common sense. ”

"By the way, in Linqiong, there is a very powerful luthier. If you know that I have an old fir tree that is more than 100 years old, I must be very interested. ”

At the same time, Lei Yunzhang said with great interest: "By the way, you two, if you are free tomorrow, come with me to visit." ”

"I'm so tired today. Tomorrow, I want to have a good night's sleep and then return to Shudu. Yu Feibai prevaricated, feeling that the production of the guqin was very boring, and he was not interested in understanding it.

"Feibai, if you don't go, you'll regret it."

Lei Yunzhang's tone was mysterious. He looked at Wang Guan again, smiled and asked, "What about you, do you want to accompany me on a trip?" ”

"Okay, let's go check it out."

Wang nodded and said: "All along, I have seen the guqin on TV. Now there is a chance to get up close and personal. It should feel good. ”

"It's not bad."

Lei Yunzhang smiled: "After the incident, you must thank me." ”

"Really?"

Yu Feibai hesitated a little and said, "That luthier master is really very powerful?" ”

"How awesome...... Forget it, don't say much. Hearing is false, seeing is believing, and only after seeing it will you know if I am telling the truth or lying. ”

Lei Yunzhang smiled, raised his glass and said, "Come, go one more." ”

"Isn't that whetting people's appetites?"

Yu Feibai muttered, and began to hesitate whether to go with him tomorrow to take a look.

For more than an hour, no matter how Yu Feibai spoke, Lei Yunzhang just didn't show the slightest tone.

After that, when he was full of wine and food, Yu Feibai went to check out, and everyone left. Four bottles of Wenjun wine, almost one bottle per person, everyone was a little drunk, and they didn't hang out, they left the hotel, and directly hailed a car back to the hotel, and fell asleep.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, after breakfast, we sent Ma Fusheng back to Meishan.

"Uncle Fusheng, I'm sorry for you." Wang Guan said, handed over a few repackaged Tibetan tea kang bricks to Ma Fusheng, and asked him to take them back and transfer them to Feng Lao.

"It's okay, I'll bring it for you." Ma Fusheng said with a smile, said goodbye to Lei Yunzhang and Yu Feibai, and drove away slowly.

At the right time, Yu Feibai frowned and said, "You two, are you really going to see some kind of violinist." Wang Guan, Uncle Lei is going to do business, of course you have to take a trip, what kind of excitement do you go to. ”

"Just now, I inquired, only to find out that Linqiong is an ancient city, known as the first state in the south of Tianfu."

Yu Feibai said with high interest: "Then, there must be some treasures in the city. It's better to turn around and maybe find something good. Besides, we have to return to Shudu today, so we can't delay too long. ”

"Don't worry, we'll talk about it when we get back." Wang Guan said with a smile: "Anyway, you don't plan to go to Mount Emei, there is also a highway from Linqiong back to Shudu." It's an hour or two away, and it's okay to go back later. ”

"The reason why I didn't go to Mount Emei was not because I was worried that the things in the car would be lost, so I returned to Shudu to settle down." Yu Feibai said in a low voice, whether it is a peach blossom cup with water, or Ma Shaoxuan's inner painting pot, and aged Tibetan tea, they are not ordinary things, and they must not be taken around.

"Alright."

Wang Guan said helplessly: "Uncle Lei said, that place is not far away, and it will take dozens of minutes at most to go back and forth." When the time comes, I will walk around the streets for two or three hours, and it will not be too late to return to Shudu in the afternoon. ”

"Wang Guan, let's go."

At this moment, Lei Yunzhang greeted him and said with a smile: "Feibai, I'm not joking, if you don't go, wait for Wang Guan to come back, don't regret it." ”

"Okay, I'll go. Uncle Lei, if you lie to me. Then after I return to Shudu, I will go to your antique shop, and I won't pay for anything. Yu Feibai shouted.

In the end, he still couldn't resist his curiosity and drove with Lei Yunzhang and Wang Guan. (To be continued)RQ!!
