Ximen Sanniang came to Zhuge Qinghong and put the piano box on the table. The case was not as beautifully carved as the previous ones, but a black and brown color.

Zhuge Qinghong felt interesting when he saw her cautious appearance, and watched the proprietress take out the peerless famous piano she said from the case for a moment.

The purple body shape is thick, the round head and the adduction double arc waist, the plum blossom broken lines of different shades are cracked, the body is engraved with the slightly concave pattern of alpine flowing water, the silk strings are the ancient style, the thirteen emblems are inlaid with the moon white Zhongshan warm jade, this piano has an indescribable elegant atmosphere blowing in the face, and the view makes people can't help but want to touch the strings. Zhuge Qinghong gently picked up the piano, and the word "Jiuxiao" was engraved above the back pool, and the original name of this piano was Jiuxiao. The left engraved below the Jiuxiao Pond is "sad and sad and parting, and the music is happy and new", and the right is engraved "Idle night stroking the qin, Huiyin is clear and sad." "There is a circular seal engraved on the top of the phoenix, but it is not only man-made, but it is also difficult to read because of the age. Although I don't know who owns this piano, Zhuge Qinghong saw it at a glance, touched the dark green tassel hanging from the piano, he looked up and asked the proprietress: "How many silver taels."

The proprietress was stunned, this is what she likes? The son in front of him is really a knowledgeable person, and he is really her nobleman.

Thinking that the owner of this shop was still her father who was alive, there was an old man who seemed to be a fairy wind and bones came to her shop with this Yaoqin that did not look like an ordinary product, claiming that he was in urgent need of silver taels in a catastrophe, and wanted to sell this qin to her father, she heard the master play the sound of the piano with her own ears, her father had never heard such a mellow and quiet timbre in his life, although the person's asking price was outrageously high, but her father was ruthless, and still kept this qin with two thousand taels of silver, Thinking that one day you can make more money by meeting a rich person who knows the goods.

The seller took the ticket and went to the door to tell her father that only those who were skilled could play its original sound. Her father was shocked, stretched out his hand to try, and the sound that popped up was really dry like a mosquito and a fly, where was it still like the sound of heaven just now, and when the two of them chased them out of the door, the piano seller had long been gone. The two did not believe that there was such an evil thing in this world, so they put this piano in the store, and threatened that if anyone can use this piano to play the sound of heaven, even if it is just the ordinary timbre, they can receive fifty taels of silver, but Ximen Sanniang grew from six years old to more than thirty years old, and twenty years have passed, but no one has ever played this piano out of tune, no matter how skilled the piano is, it can only play the sound of dry mosquitoes.

This incident once became a joke after tea and dinner in Surabaya City, and it was known that Yuyin Pavilion spent 2,000 taels of silver to buy a useless piano frame, and also threatened that only people with superb piano skills could play the sound of heaven. Poor Ximen Sanniang's old father did not swallow this breath until he died, since the death of Ximen Sanniang, Ximen Sanniang put away this qin, waiting for someone to let it make a peerless sound around the beam for three days, no matter how outsiders chew the root of the tongue, she always believes that this qin is a peerless famous qin, because she has heard the sound from this piano with her own ears, so many years, she has never heard a Yaoqin that can be comparable to the timbre of this Jiuxiao Qin.

Zhuge Qinghong carefully put the piano in the piano box, glanced at the stunned proprietress and asked again: "May I ask the proprietress how many silver taels do you need?"

Ximen Sanniang came back to her senses, stretched out four fingers, and whispered, "Four thousand taels."

Zhuge Qinghong hooked the corners of his mouth: "Four thousand taels, I will have someone send it later."

This time, Ximen Sanniang seemed to have really come back to her senses and understood what she had just done, this piano was already sky-high for her father when he spent two thousand taels. Because the sound made by this piano at that time was worth so many silver taels. But now this piano can't make a sound, Zhuge Qinghong didn't even try to ask for it, should he say that he has courage or that he has a lot of money and stupidity, but obviously Ximen Sanniang doesn't believe that such a handsome son is stupid, looking at Zhuge Qinghong and asked carefully: "Childe bought it, don't you think it's a bit expensive?" Ximen Sanniang has been in business for half her life, and for the first time in her life, she was worried about whether she would suffer a loss for her guests.

"It's not expensive, it's worth four thousand taels." Zhuge Qinghong replied in a determined tone.

Ximen Sanniang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Isn't Childe going to try the timbre?"

"I'm ashamed to say that I'm not good at music, I bought this piano for my old friend." Zhuge Qinghong looked at Ximen Sanniang suspiciously, and asked, "Does the boss lady have something to hide?" Although Ximen Sanniang is a shrewd businessman, she is not a philistine who sees money, and finally tells Zhuge Qinghong and Zhuge Qinghong. Zhuge Qinghong pondered for a moment, and said to Ximen Sanniang: "Since I have taken a fancy to this qin, then this qin must have merit, even if it really can't play the sound, then I won't abandon it."

Ximen Sanniang seemed to think that Zhuge Qinghong, who was handsome and handsome, was really a fool, and bought a piano frame that couldn't play the sound with four thousand taels of silver. But there are accidents in everything, maybe the old friend in his mouth can really play this dumb piano that has been silent for twenty years. Thinking of this, Ximen Sanniang said to Zhuge Qinghong: "This Qin concubine can be taken away by Zhuge Gongzi, but the concubine has one requirement."

"I want to hear about it." Zhuge Qinghong held the piano box in his arms and motioned to Ximen Sanniang to tell her conditions.

"Can you let the concubine go to see the son's old friend together, the concubine also wants to listen to the sound of the piano played from this piano back then." Ximen Sanniang suddenly felt a little sad, after all, this was something that her father couldn't let go of until he died. Zhuge Qinghong thought for a while and said, "Okay, then the troublesome proprietress will go to the inn with me."

Qin Youyou and Hu Guyue walked around the street for a long time after eating noodles, and felt bored and were about to go back to the inn, Qin Youyou, who had always been sharp-eyed, saw a crowd of people on the third floor and three floors outside the door of a store not far away, and most of them were young women, so he was very curious and pulled Hu Guyue forward. Qin Youyou couldn't see the inside in the outer circle, and she couldn't squeeze in, so she jumped up regardless of the image to see what was interesting inside, and when she jumped up for the first time, she saw the son in a light blue shirt talking to the woman who seemed to be the shopkeeper with his back to her.

When he jumped up for the second time, the pale blue man had already turned around, and it turned out to be Zhuge Qinghong.

When Qin Youyou jumped the third time, the crowd suddenly automatically separated a path that only allowed one person to pass, Qin Youyou stood right opposite the door of the store, the crowd was caught off guard and just let her out, Qin Youyou, who landed on the ground, just saw Zhuge Qinghong walking out of the store with a piano box in one hand and a pastry box in the other. Zhuge Qinghong happened to see Qin Youyou jump up and fall down like a grasshopper.

Qin Youyou smiled awkwardly, waved his hand at Zhuge Qinghong and said, "Master Zhuge Gong, it turns out that you are being watched."

Zhuge Qinghong's face was indifferent, and he smiled at her and said, "After you finish eating noodles, come and help me hold the flower cake." Qin Youyou stepped forward to take the pastry box and was about to speak, when she suddenly felt as if there were ten thousand ice arrows shooting at her all around her, and she shivered from the cold. I saw that the young girls who were watching turned into icebergs, almost wanting to freeze her to death, so they immediately ignored Zhuge Qinghong and ran to Hu Guyue's side to keep warm. Those girls who couldn't ask for it saw that someone actually ignored their beloved, and the cold was even more pressing, but when they saw Hu Guyue beside Qin Youyou, the resentment and cold seemed to disappear in an instant like a warm spring breeze. All of them have returned to their dignified and beautiful ladylike demeanor.

It turned out to be a master, and the little boy was quite eye-catching, it seems that this little girl didn't come with them to rob Zhuge Gongzi.

But in a moment, almost all the men, women and children in half of Surabaya City knew that the dumb piano that had been in the Yuyin Pavilion for twenty years was actually sold, and it was bought by Zhuge Gongzi, who helped the poor every year. The first step was naturally the cardamom girl who had been standing at the door of Yuyin Pavilion for a long time. Some of the people who have been helped by Zhuge Qinghong in the back go to fight for him, but more of them are to see the lively neighbors.

The piano frame that the Ximen family bought for 2,000 taels of silver was sold after 20 years, and no one has to wonder if this Zhuge Gongzi was deceived by Ximen Sanniang. But I heard that Zhuge Qinghong was bought to give away to his old friend, and everyone was even more calm, this is the prelude to the end of his friends. Four thousand taels of silver to buy a dumb piano to send to an old friend, it seems that Yuyin Pavilion has finally gotten rid of the reputation of having his brain caught by the door, and someone has taken over.

In addition to the New Year's holidays, Surabaya City has not been as lively as today, most of the people in the city have gathered at the door of the inn from the purple east, quietly waiting for the next wonderful drama of "the old friend collects the dumb piano and cuts the robe, and Zhuge Qinghong scolds the unscrupulous shop". When the group was still on the road, Ziqi Donglai gathered at the door and a large number of people were waiting at the door, and the shopkeeper also heard the ins and outs of the whole thing from other people's mouths, which shows that the world's enthusiasm for gossip and the speed of transmission are really eternal. Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, the shopkeeper was still shocked by the momentum of the red willow and green, if it weren't for the blessing of Zhuge Qinghong, the shopkeeper didn't know that there were so many women in Surabaya City who had not yet come out of the cabinet.

After Zhuge Qinghong took Hu Guyue, Qin Youyou and Ximen Sanniang into the inn, the shopkeeper and the innkeeper immediately closed the two dilapidated doors of the inn with a bang, and shut those who were ready to watch the excitement outside. The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. If it weren't for his quick eyes, the hall where his purple qi came from the east would have been crushed by this group of people waiting to watch the show.
