Chapter 12: Fighting for the Piano
Two p.m. After that, it will be at two o'clock in the afternoon. I'm diligent! Continue to ask for favorites and recommendations (*^__^*)
Dumb held up the guqin and looked carefully: it was a banana leaf, with an elegant body, and the lines were very beautiful, but unfortunately the edge of Yueshan was cracked, the strings were relaxed, and the piano was broken.
Guo Dagui leaned over and asked, "Little sister, what are you doing watching this?" It's all broken. β
He had never seen the piano, and he didn't know what it was for, but he could tell it was broken.
Dumb and silent, continue to check.
At this time, someone from the courtyard came out and asked, "What are you doing?" β
Dumb raised his eyes and looked over, it was a young man in Tsing Yi.
When the young man saw her, he asked again, "What is the matter with this girl?" β
Dumb Tuoqin asked, "Selling?" β
The young man nodded and said, "Sell it." The girl wants to buy it? β
He nodded hoarsely and looked at him expectantly, as if waiting for him to make an offer.
The young man said, "We sold these things to a thrift store." The girl only wants this piano? β
Qing Du hurriedly nodded heavily, and his eyes were pleading.
Selling the guqin to a thrift dealer is not a waste of things!
Guo Dagui hurriedly pulled his sister and asked in a low voice, "Little sister, do you buy this...... What does Jean do? If you want to buy it, you can buy it, but this one is broken, and you still buy it? β
Qing Mu shook his head at him slightly, signaling him not to interject.
The opportunity is rare, she just wants to buy this bad piano.
Otherwise, a good piano is not something that people like the Guo family can afford.
While she was laboriously preparing to bargain with the young man, a man driving a donkey cart came to her left, and shouted, "Little brother, I'm here." β
The young man smiled: "Boss Wang is here." Pretend, it's all here. β
The man jumped off the donkey cart, glanced at the stacked furniture, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw the piano in his dumb hand, and hurriedly asked, "This piano too?" β
The boy said, "Yes." But this girl wants to buy it. β
Boss Wang shook his head violently and said, "No, no, it's all for me, how can I return it to others?" Jean, too. β
Dumb listened, turned around and stuffed the piano to Guo Dagui, and pulled his arm around the body of the piano.
Guo Dagui immediately understood what his sister meant: this is resolutely refused.
It's rare for my sister to insist on it like this, and he doesn't care about whether the piano is bad or not, and immediately said: "We came first, and we all told this little brother that it was good." Let it be given to you, on what basis? β
Guo Qiao also raised his little head and said loudly: "I bought this piano." β
The dumb couldn't help but look at the young man.
The young man was pleaded by her eyes, and he couldn't bear to refuse, so he said to Boss Wang: "Boss Wang, you are opening a thrift shop, this piano is broken, and it is not easy for you to sell it, so let it be given to this girl." β
Boss Wang shook his head again and again, refusing to follow.
What happened to the thrift store?
There are those old people who like to go to the thrift store to exchange good things.
Although he can't play the piano, but the piano used by Young Master Fang is definitely not bad, and the broken place is repaired by an insider, and it is left in the shop, if it is bought by someone who exchanges antiques or good music, can't he make a lot of money!
Seeing that his eyes were full of calculations, Qing Du had a thought, and decided to buy all these old furniture, and he couldn't give him this piano.
The old furniture must not be worth much money, and she should be able to afford it.
But as soon as you enter the thrift store and want to buy it again, it will not be at this price.
After thinking about it, she said to the young man, "Buy them all!" β
Boss Wang was startled when he heard this, and shouted, "I'll negotiate first." β
Guo Dagui saw that Qingmu insisted like this, which was really something that had never happened.
He was protective of his sister, and secretly thought that he also brought private money, and he originally wanted to help his little sister buy things. Since the little sister likes this broken piano, she should help her buy it. With his own silver, plus what the little sister carried, it must be enough to buy all these old furniture.
So he said, "You talked about it first?" We bid high. β
When Boss Wang saw him dismantle the stage, he was angry.
At this moment, Yuan'er walked out and asked, "What's the noise?" β
The young man hurriedly said, "Yuan'er, these two people are going to buy these things." β
Yuan'er frowned and said, "Didn't you say that it would be for the thrift store?" β
Boss Wang was overjoyed, nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, we have all agreed." β
Then he walked up to Guo Dagui confidently, stretched out his hand and said, "Take it!" β
Guo Dagui hugged the piano tightly, took a step back, and didn't let him touch it.
Guo Qiao stepped forward, opened his arms and said loudly: "We bought it!" β
Yuan'er and the previous little girl looked down at the little girl, a little stunned.
Yuan'er's surname was Yin, and Boss Wang said: "Brother Yin, look at them, ......"
Qingdu'er took a few steps closer to Yuan'er, looked at him and smiled slightly.
"The piano is an elegant thing. I don't know how to play the piano, and I take it. β
She said the longest sentence in this world.
Yuan'er saw that although her clothes were not outstanding, she was slim, beautiful and pure, and she had a good impression in her heart; When he heard her speak, he looked even more good, and nodded hurriedly: "My young master just said that this qin is too bad for the scenery, if you can make the best use of it, it will not be in vain to fight him." Since the girl can play, take it. β
Qing Du didn't want this master and servant to be so affectionate, and smiled happily.
Boss Wang was anxious and said, "Brother Yin, give it to me the same." β
Yuan'er swept him up and down, and there was nothing but a philistine body.
He snorted and said, "Do you know how to play the piano?" β
The little guy from before sneered: "It's almost the same as playing the piano to the cow." β
Boss Wang said embarrassedly: "I won't." Can...... Didn't you say give it to me? β
Yuan'er rolled her eyes and said, "I said that I would sell it to you, but I didn't say how many pieces I sold to you." I won't sell this piano, won't I? Besides, I'll get a few more things back. You don't want to forget it! β
Boss Wang was dumbfounded when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "I want it, I want it." β
But he was unwilling after all, and pouted at the dumb and said, "This girl can play?" I don't believe it. You've never touched the piano. If you want to play a paragraph for us, I will be convinced and will not fight with you. β
Yuan'er looked at Qingdu, obviously trying to confirm whether she was looking at the wrong person.
The dumb walked up to Guo Dagui, took the piano from him, and put it on an old table. Then she moved a stool and sat down at the table. Then, he beckoned Guo Dagui to come over, reset the strings, let him press the cracked part tightly, and plucked it with his own hands.
Guo Qiao happily leaned to the table and looked at her sister-in-law with novelty in her eyes.
A series of dingdong sounds, and everyone who listened to them stared wide-eyed.
Ran Yuan'er listened for a while, and suddenly shouted: "I've heard, I've heard!" Our young master has played this song. Oops, the girl is playing so well! He turned to Boss Wang and said, "Do you believe it now?" Look at the posture of others, it looks like they often play the piano. This piano is like a pearl dusty to you, ruined; It's the right thing to do for this girl. β
He didn't actually understand the rhythm, but he felt that the tune was very familiar.
As everyone knows, the guqin has a deep timbre and a long aftersound, and ordinary people can feel its quiet and distant meaning. He listened to his young master play a lot, although he couldn't tell which tune, he was familiar with it. And he also has some ear power, that is, he can distinguish whether the dud is smooth or not, so as to distinguish whether she is an amateur or an insider.
Boss Wang saw that he was dumb and could really play, and he had nothing to say, and he thought he was unlucky.
Qing Du only played a short piece of "Flowing Water" and stopped.
The piano is broken, it's okay to coax these laymen, but it's not okay to play the old ones, it's all out of tune.
At that moment, she handed the piano back to Guo Dagui to hold, and untied her purse to pay the bill.
Guo Dagui hurriedly said: "Little sister, I have silver here." I'll buy it for you. β
Yuan'er smiled: "Girl, this piano is broken, and you have to spend money to repair it when you take it back." I'll give it to you, no money. β
Qing was dumb and listened for a moment, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Wu running over in a hurry.
It turned out that she saw a lot of people gathered here, she didn't know what was going on, she was a little worried about her children, and she saw that there were not many dates left, so she ordered Cai's to run it alone, and she hurried over to see what was going on.
"Dagui, dumb, what are you doing?" She shouted.
Qing's mind turned and he had an idea.
She stepped forward and took the basket of bread from the crook of Wu's arm.
"Dumb, you ......" Wu looked at his daughter suspiciously.
Qingmu motioned for her not to ask yet, and sent the basket to Yuan'er.
"What is this?" Yuan'er glanced at Wu and asked curiously.
Qingmu lifted the thick cotton mattress that covered the basket, took out a loaf of bread and handed it to him.
"A little heart." She smiled.
Yuan'er couldn't resist the smile, took the cake and took a bite.
"Well, it's delicious." He really praised it.
"Really? I'll taste it too. "The little guy from before will eat it too.
Dumb then he stuffed the basket into him, "Take it all." β
In this way, she also took a big advantage.
Yuan'er was not polite, and said with a smile: "Thank you, girl." β
He knew that the girl did not want to take the guqin for nothing, so he gave him bread.
Although the things are not valuable, it is enough to show that she is a disciplined person.
And he felt that it was worth it for the guqin to change a basket of cakes.
He had the silver, but this bread was a taste he had never tasted, and it was good to be able to taste something new. Besides, even if it is sold to a thrift store, it will not be able to sell dozens of dollars, and let the profiteer make a profit from it.
Wu was in a hurry, and he was about to step forward to stop him.
Guo Dagui hurriedly came over and grabbed his mother and didn't let her come forward.
Wu's gaze fell on his chest and asked in surprise, "What is this?" β
Guo Dagui smiled: "Qin." The little sister bought it. β
Guo Qiao also hurriedly said: "My sister-in-law can play." Good. β
Wu Shi heard it in a fog, but grasped the point and asked, "How much silver?" β
Guo Dagui said: "People don't ask for silver. The little sister gave the cake to others. β
He smiled happily and thought his sister was so smart.
Just now, Boss Wang was bent on scrambling, which made him feel that this guqin must be extraordinary.
However, Wu didn't understand, and asked in disbelief: "This thing is worth a basket of cakes?" β
Guo Dagui hurriedly whispered: "Mother, don't be reluctant." I like it. That person wanted to rob us just now, and Qing Du was almost ready to buy all these old furniture, but he refused to let him. Later, people said that if the little sister could play, they would give her away. The little sister played it, and he gave it away. But it's not good to ask for other people's things, and it's a good idea to send some cakes. Otherwise, the little sister really wants to spend money to buy it, mother, can you still let you buy it? β
He didn't believe it, his father and mother were obedient to his little sister, could he still be reluctant to give up a basket of cakes and not allow her to buy a broken piano?
Sure enough, when Wu heard this, he was silent.
Then she asked in wonder, "How can you play this?" β
Guo Dagui shook his head and said, "I don't know about this either." I'll ask later. β
He hasn't told SΓΉ Niang that this is a broken piano.
If you say it, according to your mother's temper, you will definitely not even give bread to others.
He intuitively can't let his mother know, otherwise the little sister will be embarrassed.
But if he doesn't say it, Wu won't watch it yet?
She gave up a basket of cakes, so she naturally wanted to take a good look at what she was exchanging, whether it was worth it.
And when he looked at it, he saw that the lyre was cracked.
