Xue Zhao and Nangong Yu walked out of the old lady's small courtyard, Nangong Yu turned to Xue Zhao and said, "Sister Yu, you wait for me, I'll go get my piano." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Xue Zhao nodded, and Nangong Yu raised his legs and ran in the other direction.
After a while, Nangong Yu ran back panting, holding a Yaoqin wrapped in silk in her arms, and said with a smile, "Sister Yu, let's go." ā
The two walked out of the corner gate, walked through the lively street, did not go to Tonghe Hall, and came directly to Fengming Hall. Nangong Yu followed Xuezhao into the courtyard and walked forward along a path, but saw that the courtyard was surrounded by bamboo forests, the underground bamboo shadows were uneven, the moss marks on the steps were thick, and the three bamboo houses loomed in the shadow of the bamboo forest.
Nangong Yu stepped forward and walked side by side with Xue Zhao, he looked around and said, "Sister Yu, the yard where you live is so chic!" Xue Zhao smiled softly, only to hear him ask again, "Have you always lived here?" ā
Xue Zhao shook her head and said, "I haven't always lived here, I only moved here a few months ago. ā
Nangong Yu nodded, and asked again, "Are you the doctor invited by Tonghetang?" Xue Zhao replied, "No, the sitting doctor of Tonghetang is Dr. Renjuchuan, and I just learned some medical skills from him." ā
While they were talking, they had already come to the bamboo house, Min Po heard the voice and came out, and when she saw Nangong Yu, she was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Miss, who is this son?" ā
Xue Zhao replied, "This is the young man of Nangong Mansion. His piano broke a string, and he never found a suitable replacement, Min Po, do we still have the silk strings we made in the south of the city? ā
Min Po listened and replied, "Yes, miss, I have always carried the silk strings you made, so I will go and bring them to you." ā
With that, she turned and went into the house.
Xue Zhao invited Nangong Yu into the room to sit down, and asked, "Yu Gongzi, the piano has seven strings, with different thicknesses, I don't know which string your piano breaks, can you let Xue take care of it?" ā
Nangong Yu listened to the piano on the table, opened the wrapped silk, Xue Zhao stepped forward and looked down, and saw that it was a black and shiny Fuxi qin, with a face and a bottom of the paulownia, and the piano emblems were all inlaid with jade, and the strings were as smooth as ice silk.
The more Xue Zhao looked, the more she felt that the production method of this piano was very familiar, she turned the piano upside down, and carefully looked for something in the body of the piano, and suddenly two small characters of woodcut came into view, which was the word "Qingyuan".
Xue Zhao was shocked, she put the piano on the table, her fingers gently caressed the body, tears welling up in her eyes.
Nangong Yu saw Xue Zhao's sad expression, so she stepped forward and asked softly, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ā
Xue Zhao shook her head, gently wiped away her tears with her hand, and said, "It's okay, I just remembered my father." ā
Nangong Yu was surprised, "Why do you think of my sister's father, what's wrong with him?" ā
Xue Zhao said, "He is no longer alive. Yu Gongzi, where did you get this piano of yours? ā
Nangong Yu said, "Since I was born, this piano has been in my grandmother's house. Later, when I was eight years old, I learned the piano with my husband, and my grandmother gave me this piano. As for where it came from, Yu'er didn't know. ā
Xue Zhao nodded and said with a smile, "The seventh string of the piano is the thinnest and the easiest to break. Your piano is one of the few good pianos, a good piano with good strings, if you only use ordinary silk strings to replace it, the sound of the piano does not match the other six strings, this good piano will be invalid. Nangong Yu listened to her words, her face showed an anxious look, and she said, "Sister Yu, how is that good?" ā
Xue Zhao gently patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It just so happens that I have a bunch of ice silk strings, which I made when I lived in Sanglin Village in the south of the city. The thinnest string is also made of 300 silks together, and it will be replaced for you later, although it is not as delicate as the existing strings, it can be regarded as worthy of this good instrument. ā
Nangong Yu clapped his hands and smiled when he heard this, "That's great!" Sister Daen, Yu'er has it in mind! ā
At this time, Min Po took a long brocade box out of the house and said, "Miss, the ice silk strings are all in here." ā
Xue Zhao took the brocade box and opened it to see that a bunch of silk strings as crystal as jade were lying quietly inside, shining in the sunlight that slanted in from the window. Nangong Yu looked at the bundle of silk strings and couldn't help but be stunned.
Xue Zhao took out the thinnest one from it, compared the length of it, tied the string to the right goose foot, tried its sound, felt that it was slightly wrong, so he loosened the string, and repeated the adjustment several times, and finally the two strings sounded in unison. Xue Zhao stood up and said, "Yu Gongzi, you can try it." ā
Nangong Yu watched her tune the strings without distraction, repeating it several times, and finally it was natural, and she couldn't help but be stunned. After listening to her, he came back to his senses, blushed, and said, "Oh, I'll try." ā
He stepped forward, his slender fingers flicked, and the wonderful sound of the piano flowed out, and a smile slowly appeared on his face, which made his face look like a crown of jade, like Pan An.
He stopped playing for a while, his eyes shining like stars, and asked with a smile, "Sister, how do you tune the strings, can you teach Yu'er?" ā
Xue Zhao said with a smile, "After the seventh string is put on, the name finger of the left hand is pressed by the six strings and the thirteen emblems, and the big finger is plucked by the six strings and the five strings by pressing the tone, try whether the two are corresponding. If the thirteen emblems should not, but should be on the emblem, the string is too tight and loose, if it should be under the emblem, the string is too loose and should be tight, it must be in the thirteen emblems prevail, so repeated several times, it is adjusted. ā
Nangong Yu's lips opened slightly, her eyes were like water, she looked at Xue Zhao in a daze, and said, "My sister is so talented and temperamental, she is really like a fairy in the Heavenly Palace." ā
"Nangong Gongzi praised it very well!" A deep voice came from outside the door, and Lin Xiuyuan had already stepped in.
Nangong Yu listened to his words and blushed as if he had seen through his thoughts.
Xue Zhao turned her head to look at Lin Xiuyuan, her eyes were as tender as water, and she called softly, "Brother Lin, when did you come?" ā
Lin Xiuyuan stretched out his hand and brushed the hair from her ear behind her ear, and whispered as if no one was around, "I came a long time ago, waiting for you outside for dinner, and you haven't come out after waiting for a while, so I have to come in to find you." ā
Nangong Yu looked at Xue Zhao and asked, "Who is this son?" ā
Xue Zhao said with a smile, "Young Master Yu, this is the eldest brother of Lin Xiuyuan, the young owner of Tonghetang. ā
Nangong Yu arched his hand and said, "It turned out to be Lin Gongzi, who has admired his name for a long time." ā
Lin Xiuyuan nodded at him and said, "How is Old Madam Nangong's illness?" ā
Nangong Yu said, "Thanks to my sister's wonderful healing, it has been great, and my grandmother asked me to thank Miss Tonghetangyu." ā
Lin Xiuyuan said, "Tonghetang is the duty to treat diseases and save people, and there is no need to say thanks." As for Miss Xie Yu, let's do it another day, Miss Yu is tired today, so she needs to rest more. ā
Although Nangong Yu is young, he is smart and glass-hearted, he immediately understood when he heard it, and bowed his hand and said, "In this case, Yu'er will leave today first." Sister Yu, Yu'er will come to you another day to ask for piano skills, you won't refuse, right? Although under Lin Xiuyuan's gaze, there was still no retreat in his eyes, and he looked at Xue Zhao fixedly.
Xue Zhao smiled and said, "If you ask for advice, Xue Zhao is ashamed." Yu Gongzi wanted to come to learn piano skills with Xue Zhao, and Xue Zhao naturally welcomed him. ā
Nangong Yu smiled when she heard this, picked up the Yaoqin on the table, and said goodbye to the two of them and went out. He is elegant, down-to-earth and generous, showing the temperament of everyone's son in his gestures.
Lin Xiuyuan stretched out an arm, took Xue Zhao into his arms, looked at Nangong Yu's distant figure and said, "Although this Yu Gongzi is young, his courage is not small." Zhao'er, he likes you, do you see that? ā
Xue Zhao raised her head and looked at Lin Xiuyuan, and said with a sneer, "Brother Lin, you are so jealous!" ā
Lin Xiuyuan lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, and muttered, "If you are snatched away again, what should I do." ā
Xue Zhao's hand gently pushed his chest and whispered, "Brother Lin, I just think that he is like my younger brother." ā
