Chapter 42: The Fragrance of Hands (II)
The strength of a man still has to be deduced.
At this time, the pain can't be said.
After a night of tossing, I was really hungry. Fortunately, there was food stored at home, and Second Sister Zhang pulled Yang Twenty-nine and went into the kitchen to get busy. And Yu Yin asked Yang Zaixing to take out the piano bag, and asked Yan Nu to take out an oil lamp and put it on the table. Taking the guqin out of the bag, Yu Yin and Yang Zaixing carefully placed it on the table.
"Tap, tap!"
Yang Zaixing was not particularly nervous, but when Yu Yin said it, he became nervous.
"Xiao Yi, what kind of piano is this?"
Under the light, the guqin is broken, and under the light, it reveals a touch of clumsiness.
Yu Yin asked Yan Nu to take a small brush, and then took a soft and dry rag to gently wipe off the accumulated dust on the piano body.
The phoenix's forehead was somewhat damaged, and there were cracks in several string eyes.
There are traces of damage to the mountain and the crown corner, but in general, it can be repaired. Yu Yin made a rough estimate in his heart, if this qin is repaired, it will cost more than 100 yuan. Because it is too old, there are too many damages, and they need to be repaired one by one.
"This panel is not badly preserved, and the previous owner seems to have put a lot of work into it.
Sister Jiu'er, look at this wood-grain wood, made of serious old cedar wood, at least a few hundred years ago...... I am about to touch it, I am afraid that the lifespan of this piano is still before the Tang Dynasty. It's just that the length of this body is really a little weird, and it's a little longer. ”
This guqin is almost a person tall.
Standing up, almost catching up with Yu Yin's size.
This size is different from the current popular length.
It is recorded in the "Customs and Customs" that the piano is four feet five inches long. Since the Northern Song Dynasty, it has been based on three feet and six inches as the standard size, which is different from the Tang Dynasty qin system. But the piano in front of me is eight feet and an inch long, almost twice as long as the Tang system.
Even compared with the guqin of the Wei and Jin dynasties, there is a big difference.
"Brother Xiaoyi, how can this piano grow?"
Yan Nu said softly: "I've also seen some Yaoqin, and it doesn't seem to be quite the same as it...... Could it be really like what Li Dalang said, this is a waste piano? ”
"When did Sister Jiu'er see the waste piano, a hundred-year-old fir wood for noodles, and a base of high-grade catalpa wood?"
"This ......"
Yu Yin rubbed his cheek with one hand.
"And you see this lacquer, it is the best lacquer...... Well, slow down, it seems to be vermilion.
If you look at it again, the handiwork is extremely delicate, and it is by no means the work of ordinary craftsmen. If it's just a waste of the piano, why spend so much energy? Previously, the owner of this piano should have been extremely cherished, so the overall preservation was very good. It was only later that somehow it flowed into the people, causing the pearl to be dusty, and it became this dilapidated appearance. However, the body is still in good condition.
Eight feet one inch, eight feet one inch ......"
Yu Yin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Brother Xiaoyi, look, there seems to be writing here."
"Where?"
Yu Yin hurriedly looked in the direction of Yan Nu's finger, and saw that above the dragon pool, there was a large square bilateral seal, and below, there was a slightly smaller seal trace. The handwriting on the seal, although blurred, can still be seen as outlines. Yu Yin frowned and looked at it for a long time, but shook his head with a wry smile.
"I don't know what it is, and I can't tell what kind of book it is."
Even Yu Yin didn't recognize it, so Yan Nu and Yang Zaixing couldn't recognize it even more.
The three of you, look at me, I look at you, it took a long time before Yu Yin shook his head, got up and said, "What is the origin of this qin, don't worry." When I fix him first, I think I can find some clues. ”
Yan Nu said, "It has to be like this." ”
"Put the piano away first...... Da Lang helps, let's put the piano into the house. ”
Yang Zaixing agreed, and Yan Nu lifted the piano.
But just when the two of them were about to put the guqin into Yu Yin's room, they heard Yu Yin suddenly shout, "Slow! ”
He stepped forward quickly and took a closer look.
"I remember: There was a record in the book "Historical Records" that this Yaoqin system is eight feet and one inch.
Most of the piano systems recorded in the historical records are mainly based on the pre-Qin period. Could it be that this Yaoqin turned out to be a guqin made in the pre-Qin period? ”
"Xiao Yi, what is Xianqin?"
Yang Zaixing asked in a daze.
"Uh, this pre-Qin ...... It was before Qin Shi Huang. ”
"Wow!"
Yang Zaixing shouted, so frightened that Yan Nu's hand shook and almost got out of his hand.
"Isn't that a thousand years?"
Yan Nu was so angry that he couldn't cry or laugh, "Da Lang, let's put the piano down first...... A thousand years ago, if the piano was broken, you couldn't afford to pay for it. ”
"yes, yes!"
Yang Zaixing suddenly became nervous.
Before, he thought that Yu Yin had looked away and bought a waste piano.
But now Yang Zaixing doesn't dare to despise it anymore...... Although I don't know the value of the guqin, it can be a thousand years ago! My God, I'm afraid it's worth thousands of dollars.
Yu Yin suddenly smiled: "If it is really made by the pre-Qin Dynasty, thousands of runs, you can't even touch it." ”
As he spoke, he instructed Yang Zaixing and Yan Nu to put the piano into the room, and then carefully covered it with a piece of cloth. At this time, Second Sister Zhang was outside to greet and eat, and Yuyin was pulled by Yan Nu and reluctantly left the room......
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
After eating, Yang Twenty-nine and Second Sister Zhang took Yang Zaixing back to the cooked meat workshop.
There are only two people left in the family, Yan Nu and Yu Yin......
Obviously, Yan Nu was a little excited.
Yu Yin defeated Lu Zhishi and was considered to have survived the last hurdle; At the same time, it also obtained the right to slaughter pigs, that is, its own business, which can be more prosperous. If it weren't for Yu Yin's injury, this incident would have been a very happy ending.
The night was already very deep, but Yan Nu was still excited, pulling Yu Yin to speak.
"Brother Xiaoyi, do we still want to go to Hangzhou?"
"This ......"
Yu Yin could generally understand Yan Nu's thoughts.
Now that the business is booming, coupled with the qualification to slaughter pigs, he and Yan Nu must be very prosperous in Kaifeng. If there is no Jingkang...... I guess that's the case! But when he thought of Jingkang's coming, Yu Yin couldn't help but be apprehensive.
What needs to be said, has already been said!
But how useful it can be, Yu Yin really doesn't know.
I feel that as long as Emperor Huizong is still there, I am afraid it will be difficult to avoid this disaster.
Originally, it was a good choice to go to Hangzhou, but today I heard Master Li say that he actually offended Zhao Gou...... My God, Hangzhou will be the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty in the future, and going to Hangzhou is not equivalent to falling into the hands of Zhao Gou?
At that time, Zhao Gou was not Zhao Gou, but an official family.
Hangzhou, I'm afraid, is also a place of right and wrong...... So is it still necessary to go to Hangzhou?
Yu Yin hesitated for a moment and said softly: "The matter in Hangzhou, let's put it aside for the time being."
Even if you want to go, you can't find a suitable person to explore the way now. Although Xiao Qi said that he was reliable, I probed him before, and I felt that he seemed unwilling to leave here. Since he doesn't want to, we'll have to find another candidate. ”
I didn't say to go, and I didn't say no!
Anyway, I couldn't find anyone to go over for a while, so I put it aside for the time being.
Yu Yin didn't say anything to death, but in Yan Nu's ears, he changed his mind a little.
In his heart, Yan Nu naturally didn't want to leave Tokyo and go to a place where he was unfamiliar. However, before Yuyin proposed it, she was not easy to refuse. Now Yu Yin said that he put it aside, which was in line with Yan Nu's mind, and he immediately smiled.
"Hangzhou is very good, even if the West Lake is beautiful, how can it be compared to the prosperity of Kaifeng?"
"yes!"
Yu Yin replied noncommittally.
Although West Lake is good, how can it be better than Tokyo Menghua? But what can be done to stop that catastrophe?
As soon as he thought of this, Yu Yin's heart couldn't help but feel a little heavy and depressed......
On the horizon, two dark clouds drifted in, slowly approaching.
Presumably tomorrow will be a cloudy day, Yu Yin looked up at the dark sky, and his heart became heavier and heavier. Such a good day, and there is a beauty in his arms. It stands to reason that this was a stormy night, but Yuyin couldn't be interested.
Yan Nu leaned on his arms, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.
Looking at the sleeping beauty in his arms, Yu Yin suddenly felt a trace of pity.
No matter what, I want to let Sister Jiu'er live happily...... It's just that the situation is really not good. Although he has become famous, his level is still a little low. So many things, knowing the result, but helpless.
What should I do?
How to make yourself more famous, it is best to alarm the official family!
Yuyin leaned against the doorframe, closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.
In a trance, he seemed to be standing on the Kaifeng city wall, with a guqin in front of him, and millions of soldiers under the city! Accompanied by the faintness of the guqin, the sound of the horn sounded, echoing between heaven and earth. In the distance, a group of fierce golden soldiers were approaching......
