Chapter 20: I'll Help You Find Antler Cream

On the second day of Xue Zhao's birthday, Lin Xiuyuan really came to make the piano body himself. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoHe usually comes over every other day.,In the middle, he has to deal with some affairs of Tonghetang.,When the matter is more urgent, the Liu steward of Tonghetang will also come here to report to him.。 Although Steward Liu treated Xue Zhao very politely, his expression when he looked at Xue Zhao was a little strange. Xue Zhao didn't care, during this time, due to Lin Xiuyuan's frequent visits, the haze in her heart seemed to be blown away by the wind, and her mood was as warm as the sun after the snow.

Lin Xiuyuan first determined the style of the piano body with Xue Zhao, and Xue Zhao chose Lu Qi. Lu Qi is a qin played by Sima Xiangru in the Han Dynasty. Sima Xiangru's family was originally poor, but his poetry was extremely famous. King Liang asked him to do a gift, and he wrote a "jade endowment" as a gift. King Liang was extremely happy, so he gave back his collection of green qiqin. Green Qi is a world-famous piano, like a green Qi, such as a treasure. His exquisite piano skills and Luqi's wonderful timbre made Luqi famous, and later Sima Xiangru won Zhuo Wenjun's heart with a song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", and Luqi has since become another name for a Yaoqin style. Xue Zhao was grateful for the story of Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun, so she chose Lu Qi.

Lin Xiuyuan had no opinion, he used the old fir wood as the panel according to the style of Lu Qi, and used a piece of catalpa wood as the bottom plate. He was actually proficient in carpentry, and it only took him five days to do this, but since he had to go back to Tonghetang every other day to deal with affairs, more than ten days had passed since these things were done. At this time, the general style of Luqi can already be seen, and after the old fir wood is polished, the texture becomes very beautiful. Xue Zhao was very happy in her heart, when Lin Xiu was far away, she was going to touch the polished and smooth panel after a while, and there was a trace of sweetness rippling in her heart.

On this day, Xue Zhao and Lin Xiuyuan began to boil glue, Xue Zhao looked at the pot on the stove in a daze, Lin Xiuyuan looked at her and asked softly, "What are you thinking?" Xue Zhao said faintly, "Miss my father." A few years before my father left, my father had been looking for a material that could be mixed with lacquer to make a lacquer tire, which would be wrapped around the body of the instrument and guaranteed to produce the right sound for 500 years. Unfortunately, in the end, he didn't find it. Lin Xiuyuan asked, "What kind of material is it?" Snow looked at him and said, "It's blood frost, a deer antler frost made from the horns that grow out of a fawn for the first time." Lin Xiuyuan pondered for a while and said, "In autumn, you may be able to pick up red deer antlers in the mountains, but it also depends on luck. But if you find the horns that the young deer grow for the first time, it will take some work. Xue Zhao smiled sadly and said, "So my father married me to Lun Shiqing because of this... ”

Lin Xiuyuan looked at her in disbelief and asked, "Just for the antler frost?" ”

Xue Zhao nodded and continued, "Although Xue Zhao doesn't like Lun Shiqing, but if he can fulfill his father's last wish, Xue Zhao would rather not want his own happiness. However, creation makes people, Lun Shiqing... Her voice faded, and she sighed almost inaudibly.

Lin Xiuyuan smiled and said to her, "If you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing." Xuezhao, I promise you, you will fulfill your father's last wish. ”

Xue Zhao raised her head to look at him, her eyes full of anticipation and longing. Like a child, she asked, "Really?" Brother Lin, are you willing to help Xue Zhao find the blood frost? ”

Lin Xiuyuan nodded and said, "I will do my best, as long as you are happy." ”

Xue Zhao's eyes widened, she felt that her face was starting to burn, her heart felt like it was about to jump out, in order not to let her blush be discovered, she quickly lowered her head, and she couldn't think of anything else to do.

Cang Shizhu knew that after Lin Xiuyuan came over often, the number of visits was much less than before, but he often came over to ask for warmth and take care of the current situation of Xuezhao. He was still as suave as before, and the smile never disappeared from his face.
