Chapter 41: A Surprise Crescent Jade Pendant!
This old man's hair is white, but his back is straight, his eyes are embarrassed, and he walks in a tigerish style, but he does not show the old lady at all, with a natural aura.
"Uncle, my friend is here to fix the piano." Shen Miao hurriedly explained.
The old man glanced at the place where Chen Xuan's palm was playing, and suddenly his eyes widened angrily, and he scolded angrily, "Fart, is this thing moved by you casually?" Do you know what kind of piano this is, if it breaks it and sells you, you can't afford to pay for it! ”
Chen Xuan glanced up at the old man and said with a smile, "Old man, this is the guqin, it is bad in itself, and I am repairing it." ”
"Nonsense!"
The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "Since you know that this is a guqin, don't stay away, do you have a way to repair the guqin?" It's nonsense, stop it, don't spoil the good stuff! ”
"Are you the boss here?" Shen Miao asked suddenly.
"I'm a guest here!" The old man said.
Shen Miao was immediately unhappy, this old man came up and scolded, again and again, but he didn't expect that he was just a person who came to eat, so he said, "Old man, you are not the boss here, even if we break this piano, if we want to compensate, the boss will find us, what does it matter to you?" ”
"That's it, you're not the boss!"
Su Nan also helped beside him, "And my husband is engaged in music, specializing in guqin, if he can't practice, will you?" ”
"It's none of my business!"
The old man glared and said, "As long as it is related to the guqin, it is my Tao Liufeng's business, and all the guqins in the world are related to my Tao Liufeng!" ”
"Old man, you can't say that."
Su Nan argued, "Even if you like this guqin, then you have to agree with the boss, if you can't like it, don't let people touch it, the boss hasn't spoken yet......."
In Su Nan's opinion, this is simply bandit logic, if it weren't for the other party's age, she couldn't help but scold a few words.
But he didn't expect that before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard Shen Miao exclaim, "Tao Liufeng? Which Tao Liufeng are you? ”
The old man snorted coldly and said proudly, "Is there a second Tao Liufeng in this world?" ”
Shen Miao was stunned, staring at the old man up and down for a long time, and suddenly let out an exaggerated scream, "Ah! Are you really Tao Liufeng Tao teacher? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Tao, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize ....... just now."
Su Nan said with a puzzled face, "Miaomiao, this ......."
Shen Miao was so excited that she was at a loss, and said, "What kind of luck did I have today, I didn't expect to meet Mr. Tao here, this is known as the father of modern guqin, the master of Tao who is a classical living fossil of national style!" ”
"Hmph, count yourself on some knowledge!" Tao Liufeng is very master-style, with his hands behind his back and his chest up.
Su Nan's heart sank suddenly!
Although she hadn't heard of this person's name, looking at Shen Miao's appearance and what she had just said, she knew at once that this was a big person.
If that's the case, wouldn't Chen Xuan just pretend to be a gang?
Bell –
At this moment, I suddenly remembered the sound of plucking the strings, although it was only a simple pluck, but this sound rhythm was extremely exquisite, even a layman could feel that this sound rhythm seemed to have a subtle resonance with his own consciousness.
This sound lasted for a long time, everyone was silent, and the long and smooth trill, like a gurgling stream, instantly filled every corner of the entire courtyard, making people feel comfortable.
"That's it!"
Chen Xuan snapped his fingers with a smile, when Shen Miao and the others were talking just now, Chen Xuan never stopped the movements in his hand.
"This ...... Did you fix it? The old man's eyes widened with incredulity.
Chen Xuan didn't look at the other party, and smiled at Shen Miao, who was in a daze, "You look, I'll show you the question you just said, this is an ordinary technique......
As Chen Xuan spoke, his ring finger and thumb were clasped, and together with his middle finger, his fingertips touched the three strings respectively, and then plucked out a few notes.
The sound was long and slow, and everyone was fascinated by it.
"It's a normal technique, I'll show you another one."
Chen Xuan said, and plucked the strings a few times with the exact same fingering as just now, but this time his expression changed slightly.
The rhythm is still the same simple rhythm, but this time, in addition to being beautiful and beautiful, it has more of a wonderful feeling of resonating with a certain subconscious deep inside.
At that moment, it seemed that I really saw the gurgling water and the hollow valley orchid, which was wonderful and made people feel extremely relaxed and comfortable.
"The first way is to use shape, and the second way is to feel with your heart, to pluck the strings with your intention, you can try it." Chen Xuan smiled at Shen Miao.
Shen Miao's whole person had already stayed in place, and when she heard this, she hurriedly walked over and plucked the strings several times in a row using the method that Chen Xuan gave her.
"Looks like that's true!"
Shen Miao was extremely excited, although these few times did not sound much different to the ears of others, but for Shen Miao, the artistic conception when playing was obviously very different from before, as if she had broken through some kind of obstacle, and there was a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
"Looks like you're very talented."
Chen Xuan nodded and praised, "If you go back and practice, you should be able to find that feeling soon, what I gave you is only the method, the important thing is to rely on yourself to understand, the things here can only be understood and not spoken." ”
At this time, Tao Liufeng suddenly stepped forward, stared at Chen Xuan up and down for a long time, and then said excitedly, "Mr. has superb skills, the skills of ghosts and gods, the old man admires, but the old man has a question, I don't know if Mr. can give advice." ”
"The old gentleman is too modest, it doesn't hurt to have something to say." Chen Xuanqian said with a gentle smile.
Tao Liufeng turned his head to look at the dark brown guqin, and said: "I am old and talented, and I don't have any hobbies in my life, but I have been in contact with this thing for dozens of years, and I can be regarded as knowing a little bit about it." ”
"Actually, I found out that this guqin was broken before, and I tried to repair it, but I don't know what's going on, I have tried all the methods I can think of, but I just can't fix it."
"I just saw Mr.'s method of repairing the guqin........ forgive the old man's words, it is really a little vulgar, completely inconsistent with the rules of the guqin, but it seems like a layman messing around there, but I didn't expect it to be repaired by Mr., please Mr. don't hesitate to teach, the old man is grateful!"
Tao Liufeng is definitely a contemporary guqin master, as long as people who usually have a little understanding of the national style and classics know his name, the level does not dare to say the first, but it can definitely be ranked in the top five.
However, although he is very arrogant, he will also humbly ask for advice when he really meets people with excellent skills, which is why he can become one of the best guqin masters.
Chen Xuan said with a smile, "Don't dare to teach, you are a senior, and the younger generation doesn't dare to make a mistake." It's just that I think the old gentleman must follow the first level, the back, and then the phoenix body, and turn the tail feathers, right? ”
"What the gentleman said is very true, exactly!"
After Tao Liufeng finished speaking, he wondered, "Is there a problem?" ”
Chen Xuan said with a smile, "There is no problem, this is the most basic process of guqin restoration, most of the guqin restoration, no matter what the technique, is inseparable from these four processes, but ......."
Chen Xuan turned his head and pointed to the guqin, and said, "The problem is that this guqin should be the most popular Fuxi style in the Republic of China period, but the craftsman made a mistake when making it, and inadvertently made this qin only have the shape of Fuxi, but Shen Yun is a banana leaf style, and the banana leaf style is an extremely rare and unique one of the guqins, so the repair method is naturally different." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the place where the left side of the middle he touched was slightly bulging just now, and said, "The biggest feature of the banana leaf style is that the starting point of the piano vein lies in the location of Fengchi and Longnuma, so to repair it, you can only start from these two places." ”
Tao Liufeng nodded again and again when he heard this, and then wondered, "But, how did you see that there was a problem with the production process of this piano, from the Fuxi style to the banana leaf type?" ”
"Oh, that's easier."
Chen Xuan pointed to the lower half of the side of the guqin, a layer of about one centimeter of black-gray pulp, and said: "The Fuxi-style bottom tire is made of raw lacquer supplemented by deer antler cream powder, and the color should have a faint fluorescent crumb, but the bottom tire of this piano does not have any fluorescence, and the color is dark, so I think it is probably because when the craftsman is making it, the antler cream powder is not enough, so replace it with tile ash or the like." ”
"The biggest feature of the Fuxi style is that when the strings vibrate, it produces a unique vibration with the antler frost powder in the bottom tire, without the antler frost powder, it is naturally not the Fuxi style, but it has become a banana leaf type, so the repair method can only use the banana leaf method."
Tao Liufeng leaned down, seriously looked at the bottom of the guqin for a moment, and exclaimed, "Sure enough, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!" ”
Then he saluted Chen Xuan respectfully, and said excitedly, "I didn't expect Mr. to be young, but he has such superb attainments, he is ashamed and ashamed, if Mr. does not dislike it, I want to invite Mr. to my box to talk about it, there are no outsiders, they are all my three or five friends, I don't know if Mr. can come!" ”
"The old gentleman is too modest, the younger generation just happened to see it, I received the old gentleman's heart, but today is a little inconvenient, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely have a good time with the old gentleman!"
Chen Xuan couldn't cry or laugh, if he let this old man know that he was scolded on Weibo more than once that he was a "deceptive and famous" and "carving insect skills", he was so angry that the old man lay in the hospital for a whole week, and said that the person who hated to "eat his flesh and sleep on his skin" was his own words, I don't know if he would invite himself to drink.
Thinking of himself back then, Chen Xuan could only shake his head and smile bitterly, at that time, he was no one in Tai's eyes, and it seemed that he was also to blame for the disaster three years ago.
"In that case, I'll have to ask Mr. for advice next time." Tao Liufeng sighed with some regret.
"Sorry, it's really not convenient today."
Chen Xuan responded politely, he didn't like to drink with people he didn't know very well, and after finishing speaking, he said to Su Nan and Shen Miao, "Let's continue to go back to the bar." ”
After finishing speaking, I found that the second daughter was staring at herself, opening her mouth wide, and staring at herself with an extremely strange look, just like looking at an alien.
Especially Su Nan, the eyes that looked at him were full of question marks.
Chen Xuan shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, it seemed that he would have to make up a story again when he went home later.
"Tao Lao, why are you here, hurry back and continue drinking, I'm waiting for you, you kid don't want to run!"
At this time, an old man in a linen coat walked over to this side and shouted a few words at Tao Liufeng, it should be them together, and saw that Tao Liufeng didn't go back to look for him for a long time.
Chen Xuan waved his hand at Tao Liufeng, and was about to turn his head back, but Yu Guang inadvertently caught a glimpse of something.
After a long pause, Chen Xuan's face changed greatly, and he suddenly turned his head suddenly, his eyes staring at the waist of the old man in the linen coat!
I saw that on the old man's waist, there was a crescent-shaped jade pendant with a strange shape!
It was exactly the same as when Chen Xuan woke up in a daze and saw the jade pendant hanging on the waist of the person who saved him!
