Li Yi glanced at the old man up and down, and the old man also looked him up and down, and then the two of them spoke at the same time,

"You ......"

"You ......"

Seeing that the two of them collided, Li Yi couldn't help laughing, and then asked:

"Old man, are you looking for me?"

The old man nodded,

"If you bought the piano just now, I'll look for you."

"Oh? How so? ”

The old man groaned for a moment, frowned, and said:

"Just now a friend of mine called me and said that he saw an old imitation of the Great Sage Relic Guqin in the market, which should be a fine ......"

Li Yi understood that this old gentleman was a step late, and now looking for him, he should be unwilling and want to see the piano. But this is also what he wants, because he is still not sure of the true value of this piano, if the old man is a connoisseur, it happens to be sleepy and meets the pillow.

Sure enough, the old man went around a few words, and finally put forward a request to watch the piano,

"Little brother, I don't know if I can delay you a little time, let me see your piano?"

Li Yi looked left and right, pointed to the shade on the side and said:

"No problem, let's go over there?"

The old man smiled,

"No, my friend has a shop in the market, let's go to his place to blow the air conditioner, and by the way, we can slaughter him two taels of tea and taste it......"

Hearing this, Ma Weizhong couldn't help but roll his eyes, and two taels of tea ...... Your old man is a little bit promising, okay? If we want to slaughter it, we can come with half a catty!

The old man's friend's shop is on the edge of the square, only a few steps away from them, but this is enough time for the old man to introduce himself.

The old man's surname is Qin Mingchuan, according to himself, he is a pianist, and he also has a hobby, that is, to identify something casually, so he also made a group of friends who poured antiques.

The store that Qin Chuan led them to was a big store in the market, not only with a business area about the same size as Chang Huaizhi's store in Panjiayuan, but also with a floor and a second floor.

Qin Chuan's friend is a sturdy middle-aged man, who looks like he is in his forties, his surname is rare, and his name is normal, but when he puts it on the body of this big man who picks his feet, it makes people feel a little weird, Xi Wuyu, this should be the name of an elf-like girl.

After a brief introduction to each other, Xi Wuyu led them to the VIP reception room on the second floor, and then, brewed a pot of strong tea, looking at the appearance of the tea leaves, sure enough, there were no two taels and one or two halves.

As soon as he arrived at the VIP room and sat down, Li Yi took the guqin out of the piano bag and put it on the coffee table, while Qin Chuan came to the side as soon as possible and looked at it silently.

After looking back and forth for at least three minutes, Qin Chuan exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly stood up.

"Little brother, do you know the origin of this piano?"

Li Yi smiled and nodded, Qin Chuan was looking at the piano just now, and he was looking at Qin Chuan vigorously. Although the old man did not show any abnormalities in the process of looking at the qin, the absence of anomalies was precisely the biggest anomaly, so he suspected that this qin was probably not as simple as he thought, and there should be something hidden here that he didn't know, and the spirit card could not identify.

"This piano should be from the hand of the court luthier in the Yongzheng period......"

Li Yi knew such a thing in total, but he deliberately said half a sentence, just to see how Qin Chuan would react.

Sure enough, hearing that Li Yi told the origin of this qin in one mouthful, a trace of imperceptible chagrin passed through Qin Chuan's eyes, and then he smiled bitterly, shook his head and said:

"Although I know that there is little hope, I still have to ask, little brother, do you intend to make a move on this qin?"

Li Yi shook his head, not to mention that there was no guqin in his collection, even if there were, he would not sell the guqin without knowing anything, this point, even if Qin Chuan's bid was high, there was no room for negotiation.

Seeing Li Yi shaking his head, Qin Chuan sighed, took a shallow sip of the strong tea on the table, and suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, turned his head and said to Xi Wuyu:

"Maiyu, go get my painting."

A hint of surprise flashed in Xi Wuyu's eyes, but he didn't say anything, but confessed, turned and walked out of the room.

"A pianist, the greatest wish of his life is to have a superb piano, little brother, I look at your hands, and you are not a person who learns the piano, this matter, if I pay enough price, I don't know if there is room for negotiation?"

Having said this, Li Yi knew that he was definitely blinded just now, the value of this guqin is likely to be far more than 5 million, maybe, the six Song version of the guqin score together may not be as precious as this guqin.

"Elder Qin, this matter ......"

Qin Chuan waved his hand, pondered for a moment, and asked:

"Little brother, do you know Xu Changyu?"

Li Yi nodded, this name, he saw it when he looked up information on the Internet, although he didn't pay much attention to it, but he also knew that he was a qin master during the Kangxi period, and he was the founder of the famous Guangling School in the guqin faction.

"This piano should have been made by Patriarch Xu in his later years. According to records, in the 5th year of Yongzheng, a meeting of pianists was held in the capital, and Xu Zushi won the crown at the age of 65, won a piece of excellent sycamore wood rewarded by the imperial court, and was hired as a court luthier, responsible for playing music for Emperor Yongzheng, and at the same time, he also began to use the sycamore wood to make the piano. ”

"5 years later, when the piano was first auditioned, it happened to be heard by Emperor Yongzheng, and Emperor Yongzheng praised this piano for having the style of the Tang Dynasty, and there was not much difference from the great sage relict piano collected in the palace at that time, and even exceeded!"

"Hearing the emperor's praise, Patriarch Xu was blessed to the heart, so he knelt down and begged Emperor Yongzheng to give the name of the qin, and said that he would enshrine this qin as a sacred relic of the Guangling faction, and it will be passed down from generation to generation."

"At that time, Emperor Yongzheng just groaned for a while, then looked up to the sky and smiled, laughing, he instructed the eunuchs who accompanied him to take the Great Sage's relict piano, and then asked Patriarch Xu to engrave almost the same inscription according to the appearance of the Great Sage's relic, saying that it was to compare with the ancients to see which piano was more powerful......"

According to the emperor's instructions, Patriarch Xu retouched the piano, and then risked death in an inconspicuous place to leave a secret mark...... Later, this qin really became a sacred relic of the Guangling faction, but it suddenly disappeared mysteriously during the Xianfeng period......"

As he spoke, Qin Chuan picked up the qin, pointed to a tree scar in the belly of the qin and said to Li Yi:

"Because Patriarch Xu was called the old man of Wushan in his later years, he left a secret mark in the shape of a mountain character in the center of this scar......"

When Li Yi heard this, he leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, in the center of the scar, there was a twisted mountain character, if no one explained, he thought it was the original texture of the tree, and he would never have thought that this was a secret mark deliberately left by the person who made the violin.

"That'...... Old Qin, are you from the Guangling faction? ”

Li Yi remembered that Qin Chuan had said before that he was a piano master, and he also called Xu Changyu the ancestor, so he was most likely a disciple of the Guangling faction.

Sure enough, Qin Chuan nodded,

"This qin has an extraordinary significance to me and the entire Guangling faction, so although I know that the little brother will not make a move easily, I still want to give it a try...... Later, you will look at the painting first, if you don't think it's enough, let's talk about it, as long as I Qin Chuan can get it, I have nothing to say! ”

Li Yi frowned, for all this Qin Chuan said, to be honest, he had already believed eight points, but there were still two points left, and he would have to wait until he saw the painting that Xi Wuyu brought.

If what Qin Chuan said is true, then the value of that painting is probably far more than 5 million, and he will exchange this piano for him, so that he will not suffer a loss and form a good fate.

But if that painting is only worth tens of millions, or even a fake, then this old guy is a big liar at the actor level, no matter how sincere he is, he will not pay attention to him again, and he may take out the six Song engraving books and stimulate him again, to see if it will stimulate him crazy!

After another five minutes, the door of the reception room opened, Xi Wuyu took a painting tube, strode into the reception room, first held the teacup, drank the herbal tea in two sips, and then took out a paper frame painting splashed with ink and color from the painting tube, and carefully spread it on the coffee table.

"Shhh...... Old man, are you going to exchange this painting for a piano? That's not a good fit, is it? ”

As soon as he saw this painting, not only Li Yi, but even Ma Weizhong, who hadn't said a word after coming in, gasped, his eyes burst out with two terrifying rays of light, and on his face, there was an undisguised look of surprise, damn, these people are really crazy!

Seeing the reaction of Li Yi and the others, Qin Chuan shook his head indifferently,

"No matter how good things are, they vary from person to person. For me, there should be nothing more precious in this world than this piano, so ...... If you don't think this painting is enough, Brother Wuyu also has a few good things here, I can call the shots, and exchange them with you! ”

Li Yi took a long breath, and in the blink of an eye, the horror and excitement just now calmed down.

He first glanced at Qin Chuan, then at the painting on the coffee table, and then slowly frowned.

A frown does not mean dissatisfaction or unwillingness. On the contrary, if he really exchanged this painting for his piano, he would not only be satisfied, but also extremely satisfied, because the advantage was too great.

Even if the story Qin Chuan just told was not a word, even if Li Yi repeatedly raised the valuation of this guqin in his mind, he didn't dare to imagine that this old man would actually take out such a work to exchange with him.

Therefore, he just frowned and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said to Qin Chuan:

"Old Qin, you just said that there are two other good things, so ...... Could you please take a look at it? ”

Hearing Li Yi actually say this, even with Qin Chuan's composure, the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch twice, and Xi Wuyu changed color even more, and in front of Li Yi's eyes, he unabashedly squeezed his big hands into two bowl-sized fists!
