Chapter 45
Zhuge Qinghong led the way in front of him with the piano case, walked to Xiao Xinyi's door and knocked on the door. After Xiao Xinyi opened the door, she looked at the four people standing at her door with some astonishment.
Qin Youyou squeezed in front of Xiao Xinyi, held up the pastry box and said to her: "Sister, I bought you a flower cake, and Zhuge Gongzi bought a piano, let us in, I'm tired."
Xiao Xinyi dodged open the door, and Qin Youyou entered her room like a loach, followed by Hu Guyue. Xiao Xinyi looked at Zhuge Qinghong and Ximen Sanniang who were standing at the door.
Zhuge Qinghong handed the piano box in his hand to her and said, "I just found a good piano today, and I want you to help me try the sound."
Ximen Sanniang's eyes were amazed since she saw Xiao Xinyi open the door, and the expression on her face changed rapidly when she heard Zhuge Qinghong's words, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Xiao Xinyi took the piano case with both hands, looked at Ximen Sanniang and said, "Who is this lady?"
Ximen Sanniang took a step forward and said, "It was the concubine who sold this qin to Zhuge Gongzi."
Xiao Xinyi nodded and said, "Please come in." Turning around and walking into the room and putting the piano case on the table, Zhuge Qinghong stared at the expression on Xiao Xinyi's face, only to see her gently open the lid of the piano case, and then she was stunned for a moment, looked up and said to Zhuge Qinghong: "Good piano." Zhuge Qinghong saw her eyes and knew that he hadn't looked away, so he breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to take out the "Jiuxiao" piano box and put it on the table.
The dark green tassel hung down from the table like smoke, Xiao Xinyi sat down with his hands clean after setting up the Yaoqin position, glanced at Zhuge Qinghong, and then pressed the strings with his left hand and struck the strings with his right hand. Qianqian's ten fingers gently brushed the silk strings, and there was a dragon's roar like a tiger's roar, which seemed to come from the end of the ancient world.
Zhuge Qinghong was stunned, Ximen Sanniang was stunned, and even Hu Guyue and Qin Youyou, who didn't understand the rhythm of music, were stunned. The thin silk strings can produce such a breathtaking sound, Xiao Xinyi's fingertips moved slightly, and the Jiuxiao Qin emitted a heavenly sound as cold and immortal as a phoenix chirping crane.
Xiao Xinyi really played this dumb piano that had been silent for more than 20 years. At this time, the crowd separated by the shopkeeper with two broken doors was making a noise.
"I said, when Ximen Sanniang comes out, I will definitely throw a rotten egg at her, no one should stop me, she thinks anyone can deceive her." A man dressed in coarse linen waved his calloused palms and said indignantly.
"Zhuge Gongzi looks like a very shrewd person, how can he let that kind of person be deceived." The lady with heavy makeup next to her spit out the skin of the melon seeds in the hands of the little servant who carried her, and said disdainfully.
"I think there are probably no good pianos in Yuyin Pavilion, and they have all started to sell piano racks to others." The middle-aged man stroked a few sparse beards under his chin, looking unfathomable.
“……”
“……”
The voices of discussion come and go, some are upset for Zhuge Qinghong, some are maliciously slandered by peers, and some are purely watching the excitement and chewing the root of the tongue, the door of the small inn can be described as all-encompassing, showing human nature to the fullest, and the wind and wind are not lively. Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "Don't make a sound."
Everyone was startled by this sudden shout, and the noisy street instantly fell silent, and when everyone reacted and just wanted to reprimand the reckless man who was shouting and screaming with his own voice, they heard a small and long piano sound coming from the inn.
It is a kind of ethereal sound like a thousand pine winds close in front of you, changeable like water, light and clouds and shadows whispering in your ears, making people feel peaceful and quiet. It is like the sound of the old man returning from the ends of the earth pouring out lovesickness in his ears, and the river is clear and snowy. It seems that even the heavens and the earth have become wide and desolate because of this sound, and it seems that the wind blowing from afar has a clean and quiet breath with the sound of the qin. Until the sound of the piano fell, there was not a word at the door of the inn for a long time.
After playing the song, Xiao Xinyi's slender and slender hand like a green onion gently covered the strings that were still trembling slightly, and exhaled softly. This piano actually has a spirituality to voluntarily attract the internal force in her body to play, and the general strings can't withstand the internal force of people in the martial arts at all, and they will break at the touch of a touch, but the toughness of this string and the strangeness of the body are really unheard of. Xiao Xinyi wanted to ask Ximen Sanniang about the origin of the qin, and when he looked up, he saw that the four of them were all confused as if they were in a dream.
The first to react was Zhuge Qinghong, who took a few steps forward and came to Xiao Xinyi and said happily: "I knew that you would definitely be able to play the sound." A pair of peach blossom eyes rarely have a sparkle in it.
Xiao Xinyi was amazed by his eyes and asked strangely, "Why do you say this?"
"Because you're the only one who can play it in more than twenty years." Without waiting for Zhuge Qinghong to answer, Ximen Sanniang had already come to her side and blurted out. "I knew it, I knew it was a peerless famous piano, my Simon family didn't deceive people, and my father wasn't deceived, hahahaha." Ximen Sanniang grinned regardless of her image after speaking, after more than 20 years, the knot in her heart can finally be let go, and her father's spirit in the sky should also rest in peace.
Xiao Xinyi looked at Ximen Sanniang, who was wiping tears with a silk handkerchief and smiling, and was even more surprised. Zhuge Qinghong told her the cause and effect in detail, and Xiao Xinyi understood Ximen Sanniang's mood at this time.
Ximen Sanniang finally stopped crying tears of joy, and said to Xiao Xinyifu: "The girl's superb piano skills are the only ones seen in the life of the concubine, and this qin has finally found a soulmate, and there is no need to be dusted in the world."
Xiao Xinyi replied with a salute and said: "Madame praised it falsely, in the final analysis, it is still Zhuge Gongzi who has the wisdom and wisdom of the English."
Ximen Sanniang heard the words and praised: "A perfect match, today is a perfect match in the world."
But I don't know if her sincere admiration is between the piano and people, or between people and people.
Ximen Sanniang walked out of the inn in the limelight, the proprietress of Yuyin Pavilion with her head held high has never felt that Surabaya City has never been so high and cloudy, and her neighbors have never been so amiable. Who would dare to laugh at her in the future, Yuyin Pavilion took a dumb piano as the treasure of the town. This feeling of shame is really refreshing!
As soon as Ximen Sanniang returned to Yuyin Pavilion, a swordsman wearing a hat and a black cloak was waiting for her to return, and the four thousand taels of silver tickets were handed over to her.
So far, the joke that has been circulating in Surabaya City for nearly 20 years has finally become a beautiful talk under Zhuge Qinghong's insight.
In the Purple Qi Donglai Inn, Zhuge Qinghong's fingers were gently plucked with the strings, and Jiuxiao emitted a dull humming sound. Zhuge Qinghongqi said: "This piano really varies from person to person, knowing that my piano skills are not good, I refuse to make a sound." ”
Xiao Xinyi looked at Jiuxiao and raised his head and said to Zhuge Qinghong: "This qin is a little abnormal, I don't know if the internal force in your body can be triggered by it."
Zhuge Qinghong frowned and said, "No, you feel this way?"
Xiao Xinyi nodded: "Yes, but it's fleeting, it's not too obvious, maybe it's just my illusion."
Zhuge Qinghong thought for a moment when he heard this, and said: "I can't play this piano sound, and it is a real number of tyrannical things in my hands, so it is better to put it here for the time being, you can help me check it out and help me figure out the mystery of this piano." ”
Hu Guyue and Qin Youyou looked at each other, and said in their hearts: There are still people who send things like this.
Xiao Xinyi replied: "Although I can play this piano with sound, I am not good at the art of organs, and I am afraid that Gongzi is not a person." ”
Zhuge Qinghong heard this and said: "I'm afraid that if I send a good piano to someone else, it will be dismantled for me in order to study its mystery, you are the only person who can play it so far, don't you want to help me with this little favor?"
Hu Guyue and Qin Youyou looked at each other, and said in their hearts: Gao, he is really a master.
Xiao Xinyi was silent for a moment, and when he saw the expectant look in his eyes, he could only helplessly say: "In this case, then leave it here for the time being, and when I have time, I will take a good look at the mysteries, I hope I will not disappoint the son, if I really can't understand the mystery of this qin, please also ask the son to invite another master." ”
Zhuge Qinghong seemed to be relieved, hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "Naturally, such a major matter will be entrusted to the girl." ”
Hua Rujiang stood at the door and was held by Yu Luo and met Hu Guyue and Qin Youyou's six eyes, and said in his heart: This is about to lose their life, they actually saw Zhuge Qinghong playing a scoundrel in their lifetime.
Hua Rujiang felt that his arms were clenched more and more tightly, and he had always felt sorry for this woman who had been a secret stake for four years in the name of pity and jade. Maybe she was wrong from the beginning, since she was willing to make a dark chess at the beginning, how dare she rise to the heart of being with the chess hand, after all, in the eyes of chess players, she is just a chess piece ambushed in the shadows. Zhuge Qinghong turned around and saw Hua Rujiang and said, "Why are you up again, don't you want to get better." ”
Hua Rujiang saw that Zhuge Qinghong was in a good mood, and unconsciously said better: "Joke, how can such a lively thing be missing, don't you see the crowd downstairs, and you haven't come back to your senses until now." After this battle, your reputation in Surabaya City has risen a lot. It seemed to be very funny to say it, and he laughed a few times.
Zhuge Qinghong smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll send you back to the room." ”
Hua Rujiang nodded, then saw Qin Youyou's mouth moving and asked, "Sister Youyou, what delicious food did you buy, can you share it with me." ”
Qin Youyou swallowed the last bite of pastry in his mouth, patted the residue on his hand and said, "No, this is what I bought for my sister, you can't eat it." ”
Hua Rujiang sighed with great regret when he heard this: "That's it, I won't eat it, send my son back to the room." After speaking, he leaned on Yu Luo and walked tremblingly towards his room. Unexpectedly, after just a few steps, he met Leng Moyan who opened the door, Hua Rujiang seemed to be instantly filled with internal force, dragged Yu Luo back to the room quickly, and closed the door with a bang.
Leng Moyan ignored it and slowly walked towards Xiao Xinyi's room, not even giving him an afterglow.
