Chapter 10 The Guitar
Early the next morning, Xiaohong brought me breakfast. A small bowl of congee, a small basket of steamed dumplings, and a small bowl of somen noodles, accompanied by three or two exquisite side dishes, did not treat me badly in terms of diet. The door is really the same as before, still guarding the two turtle slaves, looking at this situation, presumably to watch me twenty-four hours before I settle down, but it is also hard, so hard, I sneered in my heart.
After the meal, Xiaohong came up to clean up, I looked at her, and said lightly: "You tell Yueniang for me, I want to see her." ”
Xiaohong glanced at me and whispered, "Yes." ”
When she went out, I carefully looked around the outer room, and there was a small round table facing the door, a few low stools wrapped in brocade forging, and a tea set on the table. On the wall facing the door is the window where I had observed the terrain last night, and by the window is a bench couch with a Go board in the center. On each side of the chair there are two tall stands with bonsai. To the right of the door is the bedroom separated by the carved round arch of the red door, but there is a desk on the left, which rests the four treasures of the study, and there is an ink landscape painting on the wall. The furnishings of the house are simple, but the objects are exquisite, and there is nothing superfluous. This elegant taste, probably from Yueniang, this leaning on the Red Mansion, since it is known as the first in the capital, it is naturally not as good as the average Qinglou, I have to admit that Yueniang's taste is not bad.
Approaching the wall of the painting, I saw that the middle of the picture is stacked on top of each other, the peaks are lush with vegetation, the waterfalls are hanging over the rocks, and the mist and mist are floating in the mountains. I studied graphic design, and although I have not studied Chinese painting, I can see that this painting has a vivid atmosphere, and the brushwork is bold, vigorous, smooth and natural, giving people a sense of strength. In the upper left corner of the painting, there is an inscription "Meishan Thousand Feet Peak". On both sides, there are two chapters of "Evening Pond Appreciation" and "Treasure of Phoenix Song Appreciation", and the author at the bottom left writes "Tiancao Taiping Gui Youchun Painted with the Wind", and stamped with a chapter of "With the Wind" Zhu Fang.
Meishan? No, where is that? I wonder if the territory of this Heavenly Dynasty is the same as the ancient time of my time and space? Decay? I don't know what year or month it is. Meishan Thousand Feet Peak, the word is also written tall and strong, faintly revealing the author's unyielding state of mind. I did not have the fear of most comrades in traditional Chinese characters and calligraphy, so I practiced calligraphy at the age of three under the guidance of my father, and wrote a good hand in regular script and calligraphy. My father, who is "untalented", is really a bit "talented", and he can play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, blowing, playing and singing. Ye Zi and I are not as talented as him in art, but under his teaching, Ye Zi is also good at drawing and playing the pipa, and I have practiced good calligraphy, but I am only interested in the guitar.
Yueniang pushed the door and came in, only to see me standing in front of the painting and contemplating. Turning her head, she saw that her dress was crescent white, with bare fragrant shoulders and a small piece of crisp breasts, and she had a clear demeanor. Seeing me standing in front of the painting, she smiled slightly: "What does Miss Wei think of this painting?" ”
"The vividness, the rich lines, and the bold and natural use of ink make it a masterpiece." I said lightly, "Mother Moon is such an elegant place, and she will not treat guests with vulgarity." ”
"Want to know who the author is?" Yueniang listened to my sarcasm without smiling, smiling, and not annoyed.
I looked at Zhu Zhang, who was "with the wind", and joked: "It can't be Mother Yue, right?" ”
"I don't have that power." Yueniang covered her mouth and chuckled, glancing at the painting, "With the wind, it's Chu Yan's word." ”
Chu Yan? I looked at the painting and sneered. I didn't see that a psychopathic man could paint such a picture. This month, don't you already know the game I played with Chu Yan last night? Do you think that telling me this will change your impression of Chu Yan? Immature!
Seeing that I reacted coldly, Yueniang stopped selling and turned to the topic: "Xiaohong said that Miss Wei has something to find me?" ”
"Can I go out for a walk, even if I get out of this room and get some air underneath." I didn't expect her to promise me, though I would love to know the terrain as quickly as possible, so that I could draw a map and study if there were any flaws to escape, but I had to try.
"The girl's body is still a little weak, so she should stay in the house for three days to rest, and she can go out of this room after three days." Yueniang really didn't agree.
"But I have nothing to do in the house, nothing to do." I frowned, and it would be nice to send me a book.
"The girl can prepare for her first talent show in three days. I'll have someone bring the piano to the girl in a moment. Yueniang seems to have a plan in her heart.
"Talent show?" I frowned and looked at her puzzled.
"The girl who leans on the Red Mansion, the first time she appears, she always has to prepare a talent show to make it easier for the guests to understand." Seeing that I didn't understand, Yueniang explained, "I listened to the girl's song last night, which was wonderful, and I believe that the girl's carefully prepared program will definitely surprise the audience." ”
I see. That is, through performances, push out the new girl, just like the promotion of new products now, to attract more customers to buy, right? I sneered, if the odd goods can live, not only can determine the value of the girl, but also attract more customers to the door. If I work hard to perform, surprise the crowd and raise my value, I can probably have a more relaxed life, after all, not every customer is willing to spend a lot of money to bid.
"Looks like I can't do it if I'm not prepared?" I looked at her expressionlessly, "It's a pity that you don't have the instrument I'm good at." ”
"In the Red Mansion, what musical instruments are not there? Even if there is no instrument, as long as the girl says it, we will definitely be able to help the girl prepare. "Yueniang is confident.
Can you prepare a guitar too? A mischievous smile appeared on my face, and I saw that I didn't fix you: "Then thank you Moon Mom, the instrument I'm good at, the name is guitar." ”
"Guitar?" Yueniang had a surprised expression on her face and frowned, "What kind of instrument is this?" Yueniang is unheard of. ”
Of course you have never heard of it, and if you do, it will be strange.
"The world is so big, who knows everything?" I got a prank, and by the way, I ridiculed her that Yueniang was just a frog at the bottom of the well, and my heart was very happy.
Yueniang's face changed, in the end, it was the eight-sided and exquisite old bustard of the Qinglou, the patience and kung fu were first-class, and she smiled in an instant: "It's Yueniang who is lonely and unheard, wait until I go back to ask the musician for advice, and then talk back to the girl." ”
I'm afraid it's useless for you to ask any musician! I snickered in my heart, but said with a straight face: "Then Lan Xue thanked Mother Yue first, but if the musician doesn't know, Lan Xue can draw a sketch, and ask Mother Yue to find a craftsman to make a hand." ”
I didn't expect her to find a craftsman to make me a guitar, I just wanted to make it difficult for her, and it was good to vent my bad anger. Yueniang nodded and agreed when she heard this, and probably understood that it was not a matter of asking the musician to ask about this instrument called guitar.
I walked to the desk, spread out the paper, drew a sketch of the guitar, marked the dimensions and the names of each part, picked it up, blew the ink stains on the paper that had not dried, and handed it to Yueniang. Yueniang glanced at the drawings of the guitar, her expression was even more surprised, and her expression was a little more inquiring. Xu was afraid that I would mock her again, so she didn't ask much, she put away the drawings and said with a strange expression: "Miss Wei, don't worry, Yueniang will try her best to find a craftsman to make this instrument." ”
Sending her out, I couldn't hold back a smile and covered the door, threw myself on the chair by the window, recalled Yueniang's weird expression, I couldn't help laughing. Laughing until my stomach hurt, I curled up on the chair, calmed the twitching of my lower abdomen, and slowly thought about the situation in front of me. Although the Stygian Flame told me that it was not dangerous to pick up customers after three days, it did not tell me how it was, how shocking? How is the insurance? Maybe this has already involved the secrets of the underworld, and he can't divulge too many heavenly secrets. In fact, all beings in the Three Realms, all walks of life have their own rules and rules of survival, just as the Dark Flame cannot control the life and death of mortals whose life has not yet ended, can the immortals intervene in the fate of mortals? If the fate of all mortals is intervened by the gods to play, history will not be rewritten? The world is not in chaos? The balance of the Three Realms has not been broken? Although I believe in my heart that Stygian Flame will really help me, I am also a soul from the 21st century, and I have been taught not to leave your fate in the hands of others at any time, no one is responsible for you, you can only be responsible for yourself, so I would rather let my fate be in my own hands.
If there is really a thrill after three days, and I can't avoid it, will I really fall to the point of selling myself? The thought of this makes me a little irritable, what can I do? Pretending to be sick and procrastinating? Drunk ladybug? There is nothing wrong with the strategy, but it is difficult to do it concretely, not to mention that the plan can't catch up with the changes, who knows what unexpected situations will happen at that time?
Regardless, Yueniang was right about one thing, even though she wasn't doing it to help me. Raising one's worth is a profit for her, and it is also more beneficial than harmful to me. It seems that no matter what, I have to take these three appearances seriously, and I will prepare for it. Chu Yan will definitely come that day, right? The first time I came out to pick up a guest, he didn't come to watch, and it was strange to satisfy his revenge. Thinking of the game between me and him, I sneered, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, evil thoughts were full of thoughts, and I had a plan in my heart at the moment, Chu Yan, let you see how I amazed the four seats, and made you unforgettable!
