Agui hurried back to the Shen Mansion without stopping and went straight to the young lady's study.

The door of the young lady's study was open, and he saw the figure of the young lady's best friend Jiang Weibai from a distance, so he hurriedly stopped and prepared to come back later.

Hee Zhen had already spotted him, immediately stopped him and got up and walked out of the study.

"Miss Bao, the letter has been delivered to Captain Liu Xianchen, he said that he will leave this afternoon, and he will inform you as soon as there is news." Agui whispered in her ear.

"Uh-huh, thank you for your hard work!" Hee Zhen nodded, smiled and turned to enter the study.

"What did Sister Mo Feizhen send someone to do again?" Jiang Weibai asked jokingly with a pair of beautiful big eyes.

Jiang Weibai is the daughter of Uncle Jiang Ping of Dali Temple, fifteen years old, with a small round face like a porcelain doll and a small cherry mouth, the corners of her mouth can reveal two small dimples without smiling, and her skin is like clotted fat, and her body is slender.

The Jiang family and the Shen family are world friends, and Jiang Weibai and Xizhen both worship the former court qin master Wen Sibo as their teacher, so the relationship between the two is very good. Jiang Weibai was only born a month later than Xi Zhen, so he always called Xi Zhen Sister intimately, and Xi Zhen called her Sister Bai.

"There's something big there, it's just a matter of going out and picking up a letter." Xizhen replied with a smile. While sitting down beside her, he grabbed her jade hand and continued to chat.

"By the way, sister, we haven't visited the teacher for more than a month, why don't we go see him tomorrow morning?" After chatting for a while, Xi Zhen changed his words.

"Okay, presumably this time the teacher is going to test our piano skills again." Jiang Weibai gladly responded.

"What are you afraid of, you practice every day, naturally you won't waste it, but I'm often lazy, I'm really ashamed of the teacher's hard work!"

"Poof, with your seven-trick exquisite heart, even if you don't practice for a year, you won't be worse than me." Jiang Weibai said hurriedly.

"Gotta it, thou, thou shalt hold me up to heaven. As for you, don't always be arrogant, but see more of your own strengths, my good sister. Xi Zhen patted the back of her hand again and again.

The two chatted a few more words, and when they saw the lunch break, Jiang Weibai got up and said goodbye.

After sending Jiang Weibai out of the door, Xizhen immediately called the housekeeper Uncle Liu and handed him a note.

"Uncle Liu, help me go to the bazaar to buy two taels of these three things, and when I buy them, I will learn from the sellers about the purchase channels of Shiliuhuang and earth nitrate."

Uncle Liu, the housekeeper, hurriedly took the note and looked at it, but saw that it read: stone flow yellow, earth nitrate, and charcoal.

"Okay." Uncle Liu immediately took the order.

More than an hour later, Uncle Liu came back breathlessly.

He wrote down all the information and numbers he had asked on a piece of paper and handed them to Xi Zhen.

"Well, I see, thank you for your hard work!" Xizhen said with a smile.

"Miss is polite." Uncle Liu immediately retreated.

Xi Zhen sat down at his desk, and drew a map of two military weapons that had not been available in this dynasty with the information he had learned from the science and technology book before the crossing, and attached a detailed method of making them.

Then she put the paper in the letter and sealed it in a drawer.

Early the next morning, she took a carriage to the house of the violinist, Wen Sibo.

When she entered the door, she found that Jiang Weibai had arrived and was talking to the teacher, she hurriedly greeted the teacher and greeted Weibai.

After a greeting ceremony, the three of them sat down in the piano room.

Wen Sibo was over seventy years old, with a white beard and white clothes, like a hermit in the valley. He was once a well-known court luthier, successively serving as the edict of the first emperor and the current saint of the two generations of kings, and became a generation of masters with his exquisite qin skills and extraordinary artistic performance techniques, followed by no less than hundreds of people. Later, he resigned in old age and lived in seclusion in the suburbs and countryside. I wanted to live the rest of my life lightly, but I didn't want to recruit her ten years ago because Shen Xizhen came to ask for a teacher with the piano and was moved by her playing. A year later, Shen Xizhen recommended her best friend Jiang Weibai to come to apprentice, and Jiang's piano skills also shocked him, so he took them as disciples and passed on his life's experience to them.

He later learned that Jiang Weibai's previous piano skills were also taught by Xizhen. That's an afterword.

"Since they are all here, then the teacher has to test your piano skills well, who will come first?" Wen Sibo smiled at the two beloved disciples and asked.

"The elders are respectful, Sister Zhen first." Jiang Weibai said politely.

"Okay." Xi Zhen smiled slightly, sat upright, raised his hands calmly, and the crisp sound of the piano poured out like spring water.

The sound of the piano is sometimes tactful and gentle, sometimes it is high and undulating, sometimes it is like a ring of rings, sometimes it is like a pearl falling on a silver plate, and suddenly it is like a group of white cranes flying, the mighty rivers and rivers, the group of immortals dancing, the melody is long and magnificent, the emotions are free, the beauty of its meaning, the nature, as if it is a god.

After the song was finished, You Yuyin was full of fascination, Wen Sibo and Jiang Weibai savored it carefully, and it took a long time to come back to their senses, and they immediately applauded warmly.

"Then, it's time for me to make a fool of myself." Jiang Weibai said with a smile, adjusted his sitting posture, and began to play the piano.

Jiang Weibai's bullet was another mood. If Xi Zhen's song just now is full of clarity and Zen, then Jiang Weibai's song is like a spring field, which can make the listener seem to see butterflies flapping their wings among the flowers, birds flying in pairs in the treetops, children happily playing on the grass, and the whole tune is so bright and beautiful that the warm sun shines on the body.

When she finished playing, both Wen Sibo and Xi Zhen applauded her heartily.

"Well, you two really work hard, after a year of study, not only has your kung fu not regressed, but has grown more and more, I am very relieved for the teacher!" Wen Sibo stroked his white beard and said with a satisfied expression.

"If you talk about artistic conception and feelings, I'm afraid it's still Sister Zhen's slightly better." Jiang Weibai said modestly.

"If you talk about fun and human taste, it's Sister Bai's skills that are even greater." Xi Zhen replied with a smile.

"So, one has the subtlety of being born, the other has the elegance of entering the world, the two of you have their own strengths, and together they are seamless and rare in the world." Wen Sibo said with a happy face.

"It's not because the teacher's piano skills are too high, and you don't dare to ruin your reputation as a student, so you don't dare not study hard." Jiang Weibai responded with a sweet smile.

"What my sister said is that the teacher's attainments are like the top of a mountain for us, although we can't reach it, but our hearts yearn for it, so we don't dare not work hard." Xizhen also said sincerely.

Wen Sibo sat comfortably and smiled.

"So, teacher, it's been a long time since I've heard you play the piano, can you also play a song today for us to feast our ears?" Jiang Weibai looked at Wen Sibo with a smile and asked.

"Okay, you have to come today, and I suddenly feel full of energy and energy!" Wen Sibo happily agreed, beckoning the scholar to fetch his Yaoqin, which was once famous in the capital.

Wen Sibo's demeanor is high when he strokes the piano, the sound of the piano is like a complaint, the melody is sometimes born and sometimes enters the world, there is no trace between the switches, and there is still a wonderful sound lingering in the ears after the song, which is intoxicating.

Xizhen and Jiang Weibai both deeply respect his piano skills, and feel that it is difficult to match him in his life, so every time he listens to his playing, he will feel that he has received another soul bath, and suddenly his self-realm has improved a lot.

After a while, Xi Zhen asked Wen Sibo: "Teacher, can you tell us about your time as a pianist in the palace?" ”

This was the first time Xi Zhen asked him about the court, and he was slightly stunned.

And Jiang Weibai was obviously very interested in the things in the palace, so he helped Xizhen and said: "Yes, yes, teacher, you are really too low-key, we have been studying with you for so many years, but we haven't heard you talk about any deeds when you were a pianist?" Since Sister Zhen asked today, I would also like to hear it. ”

After saying that, Jiang Weibai glanced at Xi Zhen, with a tacit smile on his face.
