Chapter 204: Ciqin

"Mother seems to be having a hard time lately." Chu Zihou said to Shen Xizhen.

Shen Xizhen sighed deeply when she heard this, and said sincerely: "Yes, I'm afraid she won't be able to adjust in a year and a half." ”

Empress Gina and Emperor Guangzhao are truly in love, the two were forced to be separated from each other for eighteen years when they were in their prime, and then they finally swept away the obstacles and got together, but after only three years of harmonious life, Yin and Yang were separated, so the sadness and joy in Queen Gina's heart are naturally understandable.

Thinking that he was going to leave here with Chu Zihou for a year and leave her alone, Shen Xizhen was also very guilty. But she and Chu Zihou left not only to avoid the limelight, but also to have a task, so it was inconvenient to take her there.

"Why don't you let my mother come here to accompany the Queen Mother? In this way, the queen mother can have someone to talk to, so that she will not be so lonely. Shen Xizhen said.

Chu Zihou nodded and said, "This method is good, so that my mother can be alone at home and think nonsense." ”

"Guang'anhou, there is a letter from you." Pepper reported outside the door.

Could it be that Liu Ming replied? It stands to reason that it won't be so fast, and even if it will arrive in two days at the earliest, who else will there be? Chu Zihou and Shen Xizhen glanced at each other suspiciously.

"Bring it in." Shen Xizhen said loudly.

Pepper gently pushed the door in.

Shen Xizhen looked at the words on the envelope - it was written by the pianist Wen Sibo.

The letter wrote: I would like to invite you and the third imperial concubine to come to the cold house tomorrow for a gathering.

A very simple sentence.

This is the first time that the teacher has taken the initiative to invite them to be guests, so it is estimated that there is something important to talk about, but the teacher has always been clean and indifferent to fame and fortune, so what does it matter? Xi Zhen thought in his heart.

But she was soon relieved, and she would know tomorrow anyway. The teacher is a person who loves her and Jiang Weibai very much, and it is estimated that it will not be a bad thing.

The next day, after Xizhen entered the palace to give a lecture on the scriptures, it was already noon, and she had a casual lunch and hurried to see the pianist Wen Sibo.

When she arrived at Wen Sibo's residence, she found that Jiang Weibai had not yet come, and Wen Sibo's scholar had already greeted her at the door.

The scholar led her directly to the living room.

Wen Sibo was already sitting inside, waiting, and when he saw her come in, he smiled at her, and she smiled and greeted him.

Usually when they came to see Wen Sibo, they were arranged to meet in the piano room, but this time they were arranged in the living room, which made Shen Xizhen suddenly feel that the meaning of this trip was not very different from usual. But she was not a very reserved person, so she did not dwell on the matter for long, and happily sat down on a stool not far from him.

Wen Sibo looked the same as usual, but his eyes and smile were kinder, not as strict and cold as before, Shen Xizhen looked warm in his heart, and hurriedly asked him if he had composed a new song recently, how his body was, and where to play.

"I haven't composed music lately, I'm old, I'm always sleepy, and I don't want to go anywhere." Wen Sibo said, answering her three questions in one sentence.

Shen Xizhen smiled and said, "Then you can stay at home for a long time." Maybe after a while, the weather won't be so hot, and you'll be interested. ”

"I hope so." Wen Sibo said with a smile, beckoning the scholar to serve a snack.

"I'm late, I'm late, I'm so sorry!" As Jiang Weibai's crisp voice came, her person soon appeared at the door of the living room.

Her face flushed, and she knew at a glance that she had come in a hurry.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just the right time, come in and sit." Wen Sibo hurriedly stretched out his hand to greet her.

After Jiang Weibai saluted him and Shen Xizhen, he sat down next to Shen Xizhen.

Both looked at Wensberg, speculating on his purpose in calling them in.

Wen Sibo glanced at them and said with emotion: "I have been playing and teaching the piano for decades, and you two are the most spiritual piano players I have ever met. ”

It turns out that the teacher is going to give them the piano! They looked at each other, a little flattered and a little hesitant.

They knew that the teacher had a few rare guqins in his collection, which were all priceless treasures that could not be bought on the market or even in the entire Xi Kingdom. Is it better to collect this or not to collect it?

It is said that Liangqin gives bosom friends, and it seems that the teacher not only treats them as students, but also as bosom friends. The two of them were full of joy and emotion in their hearts, and there was a little bit of indescribable apprehension.

I always feel that the teacher's approach is like a dying entrustment.

"Teacher, your piano is priceless, how can we ...... How can you afford it? Xizhen said with an embarrassed face.

Wen Sibo waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since it is given to those who understand them, there is no need to care about its value." Then he told the scholar to bring the harp.

Soon, two delicately shaped guqins were placed on the table.

One is Zhongni style, the other is Fuxi style, and the appearance of both is full of ancient meaning, which makes people can't take their eyes off.

"I found them all over the world, and they are very distinctive, and I wrote their names on a slip of paper, and folded them into small squares, and you will catch them, and whoever catches them will give them to whomever they want."

This is the fairest way to do it.

The two smiled and nodded.

Jiang Weibai caught the Zhongni style, Shen Xizhen caught the Fuxi style, and everyone was very happy.

"Teacher, we don't know what to give you with such a valuable gift?" Jiang Weibai said with shame on his face.

"You're welcome, it's not a deal." Wensberg laughed.

The two laughed too.

Wen Sibo asked the scholar to soak in the big red robe.

The three of them chatted over tea until the sun set in the west.

"Sister Zhen, do you think the teacher's move is a little strange?" After leaving the gate, Jiang Weibai asked Shen Xizhen in a low voice.

"At first, I thought it was a little strange, but maybe he felt that he didn't want to keep them anymore when he got older, anyway, we should honor him well in the future." Xi Zhen replied.

"Yes." Jiang Weibai was no longer entangled, and the two held hands and talked for a while, then got into their respective carriages and went back.

That night, Shen Xizhen suddenly had a particularly strong intuition and felt that the teacher was about to die. So early in the morning, she went straight to Winsberg's house in a carriage.

When I entered the door of the teacher's house, I was told by the scholar that the teacher had passed away quietly last night, and that he was sitting in front of the piano table with his hands still resting on the strings.

Shen Xizhen suddenly felt as if something was blocking his heart, and hot tears flowed out like a. R1152
