Chapter Thirty-Eight: Shocking
On this day, he was summoned by the Lord to the Hall of Spirits. Minsa was bored and went out for a stroll.
Suddenly, I heard a light piano sound, the rhythm was sparse, and the sound was gorgeous.
Mingsa walked in search of sound, just as she walked, the sound of the piano seemed to be a whisper, and then transformed into the neighing of war drums, the syllables were yin and yang, soft and rigid, sometimes soft, sometimes heroic, the realm of the grand ambassador Mingsa had never heard of.
Looking for the sound of the piano, Minsa completely forgot about returning home at this moment. When he heard the sound of the piano very close, Minsa saw that there was an octagonal pavilion behind the rockery, and the person in the pavilion who stroked the piano was actually a man in white with a handsome and quiet face.
Minsa, who has always been accustomed to seeing rugged warriors in Yanzhou, was instantly shocked.
If it is still said that he is handsome and upright, then this man is more cloud-like gentleness, wind-like ease, and the aristocratic aura exuded around him is faintly lonely.
There is such a handsome appearance in this world!
At the end of the song, the man saw Minsa who was stunned not far away, and walked up and said respectfully: "Lord Minsa? ”
"Do you recognize me?" Minsa came back to his senses and felt that he seemed to have lost some of his temper just now, and after the man in white got up, his posture became stronger, and his white robe was wrapped around his tendons and burly figure, and he seemed to be a young general who had been on the battlefield.
"Yes, I've seen it outside the Mausoleum Temple." The young man said calmly.
"You are?" Minsa thought back to herself, physically and mentally exhausted and nervous outside the temple, and she didn't seem to see anyone else at that time except for the condescending and majestic Lord.
"In the lower Gu Court, if you want to come to the county lord, you don't have the heart to pay attention to other things that day." Gu Ting said with a smile.
On that day, I saw this Yanzhou county lord whirling around with a few guards, his arms were full of wounds, and his expression was haggard, which really didn't look like the same person as the smart beauty standing in front of him now.
"Ahh You are Ji Hou Ting. Minsa blurted out, the man's courteous attitude and warm voice that made him unguarded.
"Looks like you still mentioned me?" Gu Tingjing smiled to himself.
"Yes," Minsa also smiled, he couldn't imagine that this gentleman was such a gentleman, such a comparison, oh no, how can he still be qualified to compare with others, Minsa thought to himself, and the corners of his mouth couldn't hide a wicked smile.
"The county lord came here to hear the sound of the piano?"
"yes, your piano sound is really ......"
"How?" Gu Ting looked at Minsa expectantly, and when he saw that she had some indescribable appearance, he knew that she was a person with deep understanding.
"Rigidity and softness, alternating joy and sorrow, and voice and posture." Minsa pondered for a moment, wanting to use the best words to evaluate the sound of the piano that had just amazed him.
"What else?"
Gu Ting saw that Mingsa said a string of beautiful words, but it didn't seem to be finished yet, so he asked her if she had any more ideas, but she didn't say anything.
Minsa glanced at Gu Ting and saw that he was indeed approachable, so he said what he felt in his heart: "It seems that there is some melancholy and loneliness. ”
After speaking, Minsa looked at Gu Ting's reaction, and saw that he was stunned for a moment, so he hurriedly added: "Did I realize it wrong?" "I thought about how to tell the truth.
"The county lord is really smart! It's been a long time since anyone commented on my piano sound like this, and the county lord is Gu Ting's bosom friend. Gu Ting was still a little melancholy just now, but after saying this, he seemed to be instantly refreshed, and the clouds between his eyebrows also dispersed.
"Can the county lord play the piano?"
"I won't." Minsa said with a busy wave of his hand.
"Then it's even more rare, the county lord is the only person who hears the melancholy sound of this song." Gu Ting said with a look of surprise on his face.
"Yes." Minsa saw him so excited, and he also smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Gu Ting then led Mingsa to the octagonal pavilion and stroked the guqin that was resting on the stone platform, unable to hide his love.
"This, is this Jiaoweiqin?" Minsa asked in surprise as he stared at the burnt end of the instrument.
"Does the county lord know Jiao Weiqin?" Gu Ting was surprised again, this woman who didn't know how to play the qin actually knew Jiao Weiqin.
"I used to meet a master of deep tone rhythm in the Western Regions, and he told me about the Jiaowei Qin, and he always looked forward to hearing the sound of the Jiaowei Qin in his lifetime."
Minsa responded, then pointed to the guqin and asked, "Is this really a Jiaowei qin?" ”
Gu Ting nodded in response, this Jiaowei Qin is not only the yearning of the people who love the qin in the world, but also his most cherished treasure.
Legend has it that in ancient times, an immortal musician happened to pass by a farmer's house and heard the farmer burning a piece of paulownia wood, and the sound of the fire was very crisp, so he concluded that it was a piece of good wood. He took it and made it into a harp, and after playing it, the sound quality was so good that everyone who heard it called it a fairy qin. However, the tail of this piano was a piece of burnt paulownia wood, so he named it Jiaoweiqin.
"The Western Regions is a country of music and rhythm, and it is a blessing that the county lord has the honor to worship the master musician." Gu Ting said, his eyes were very yearning for the music customs in the Western Regions.
"Do you have a lot of rare and precious musical instruments?" Minsa asked.
"It's not a lot, but Gu Ting has tried his best to find ancient musical instruments all his life, and now he only has a few pieces."
"Can you show me?"
"Of course," Gu Ting said a little excited, this county lord from Yanzhou was actually a confidant he hadn't met for many years, so he hugged Jiao Weiqin and led Mingsa to Jihou Mansion.
All the people who have dealt with him, seeing that he is so obsessed with the instrument of timbre, either secretly disdain or ridicule a few words, or compliment some elegant people and the like, the elders of the family even think that their actions are unbearable, and no one has ever wanted to really see those wonderful treasures of antiquity.
The reason why Minsa was interested in those ancient instruments was because the master he met in the Western Regions always mentioned to him many instruments that he had never seen before, and longed to see them, but the master was too old to know if he had a chance to see them.
Minsa wanted to go to Gu Ting to see if there were those ancient extinct treasures that the Western Regions master was looking forward to.
Gu Ting took Minsa to admire those musical instruments, his room was full of shelves of musical instruments, all of them were Yao Se jade flutes and the like, Gu Ting told her their legends one by one, and played some small pieces with great interest, and at this time Sang Li came.
As soon as she saw Gu Ting's expression when she was talking to Minsa, she understood in her eyes, how had she seen Brother Gu Ting so happy in the past, but she had met someone she liked.
Sang Li thought to himself and smiled to himself.
From the focused conversation, the two looked up and saw a beautiful person standing in front of the hall, and looked at them and smiled meaningfully.
