Chapter 49: Boya Zhai

Out of the Taishou Mansion, Ming 'Yin' and Ming Ye knew Zhuo Zhaojie's current mood, and they didn't dare to say much, so they asked the coachman to go back to Youjia quickly, but when he passed through Fang City, Zhuo Zhaojie suddenly stopped - after the carriage stopped, Zhuo Zhaojie asked the coachman: "Is there an instrumental music shop in this city?" ”

"What do Qi Niang want to buy?" The coachman asked rhetorically, "Is it strings, pipes, gongs and drums?" ”

“…… Pipa. ”

The coachman thought for a while and said: "There is something in the market, but the little one heard that Boya Zhai in the north of the city seems to be a special 'door' to sell pipa, and the owner of the house calls himself Boya Laosuo, and he is also famous in the north of the city, as if the best pipa in Moling City is his house." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie remembered that Meng Miaorong also said that he met Li Yanjing in this Boya Zhai, and Li Yanjing specially came from Chang'an to get a pipa from Boya Zhai...... It can be seen that this Boya Zhai's pipa is indeed famous, so he hated and said: "Just go there!" ”

Ming 'Yin' and Ming Ye knew that Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't swallow the words he heard outside the 'fine' house, and now he was angry and had to learn the pipa, so he said euphemistically: "Let's come out and have some Chenguang......"

They have been serving Zhuo Zhaojie for almost ten years, and they know that Zhuo Zhaojie has used a little bit of care in poetry books, from 'female' red to musical instruments, everything is careless, and they are too lazy to learn it when they are sent to it...... It's just that Li Yanjing didn't agree to teach her, how will it end next?

Moling City is so big, the news that Zhuo Zhaojie was rejected by Li Yanjing into the 'door' is nothing, after all, since Li Yanjing is known as a national player, it is reasonable to choose disciples, it is estimated that there will be no fewer people in Chang'an's noble 'women' who are rejected by him, but Zhuo Zhaojie went to buy a noodle pipa after being rejected - you must know that Zhuo Zhaojie has never touched the pipa before, so everyone will say that she is angry with Li Yanjing...... Of course, some people will think that Zhuo Zhaojie wants to work hard before going to the 'door'...... But Li Yanjing said that Meng Miaorong was a disciple of the 'door'......

What's more, Zhuo Zhaojie was not very interested in pipa originally, if it hadn't been for the words that I heard later, it is estimated that Li Yanjing would have accepted her as a disciple today, and she would not feel very happy - this time she was angry and wanted to learn pipa, and she lost her anger when she turned around, and the silver money of the pipa was nothing, but it was passed out and Zhuo Zhaojie was evaluated as a tiger...... Ban is reluctant to say that his grandchildren are 'daughters', so he has to anger them and the people around him......

But Zhuo Zhaojie is bent on proving that he is not only talented, but also not a person who can't make up his mind - besides, Li Yanjing keeps saying that he is entrusted by his elders in Chang'an...... If you are so concerned about yourself, think about who else can there be besides your biological parents? Even if you don't care about losing face after arriving in Chang'an, you have to think about your parents' face? She gritted her teeth secretly and said coldly: "It's not dark yet, and the curfew is still early, what are you anxious about?" ”

Seeing her insistence, Ming 'Yin' and Ming Ye glanced at each other, and they didn't dare to persuade them, so they had to smile bitterly.

Boya Zhai in the north of the city is near the north 'gate' in an alley, although it is an alley, but can also pass the carriage, to the place, the coachman stopped and told, Zhuo Zhaojie first picked the curtain to see, but saw that there was a small garden in front of the fast, planted 'flowers' and grass, and also drilled a well, but seven or eight steps to the end, take the fence circle, a 'door' in the middle, on the book "Boya Zhai" three words, the pen is elegant.

In the garden, the two general corner servants saw the carriage stop across the fence, and were busy waiting by the 'gate', and when Zhuo Zhaojie got off the car with the 'maid' and came over, they immediately opened the 'door', and smiled before saying a word: "Is the lady coming for the first time?" ”

"Exactly." Zhuo Zhao nodded, "Is there a ready-made pipa in it?" ”

"Yes." A little guy smiled and said, "Ladies please!" ”

Stepping into the 'door', I saw that there were only two or three pipas inside, and a young 'woman' in her twenties was bowing her head at the counter in front of me, holding a pen in one hand and dialing the abacus quickly and loudly in the other.

The little maid who led Zhuo Zhaojie's master and servant into the 'door' didn't care about disturbing her, and said with a smile: "Lady, there are guests coming." ”

"Songnu invites the guests to sit less, serve good tea, and I will finish this account." The young woman didn't raise her head and said, "I'm really sorry...... It's time to figure it out. ”

The little girl Songnu sighed, and said apologetically to Zhuo Zhaojie: "Don't blame the lady, today is the day to 'pay' the account, and the lady is the only one in charge of these things......"

"It doesn't matter." Zhuo Zhaojie shook his head and said, "I'm here to see the pipa, you lead me to look at it first." ”

Songnu smiled and said, "Is the lady changing the pipa, or is it the first time to use it?" ”

"First time." Zhuo Zhaojie said, "But you have to choose some ones." ”

"That lady doesn't have to go upstairs, just downstairs on the three sides, it's more than enough for beginners to practice." When Songnu heard this, he pointed to the three-sided pipa listed next to him, and said, "Although there are not many pipas for beginners, they are all good...... There are cow bones, ivory and tortoiseshell, just look at which side the lady likes? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie doesn't know anything about the pipa at all, how can he know what is good or bad when he looks at the pipa in front of him? He said, "It's too little, since there is one upstairs, I'll go upstairs and have a look." ”

Songnu persuaded and said: "It's not a small mouth, since the lady has just started to learn, now these three sides are enough, the pipa of the Zhai, one floor is a price, the lady just got started, there is no need to buy the upstairs so expensive." ”

"If you don't buy it, maybe you can watch it?" Zhuo Zhaojie asked rhetorically.

"Nature can." Before Song Nu could reply, Fang Niangzi, who was settling the account, suddenly said, Zhuo Zhaojie turned around, but saw that she was already cleaning up the pen and ink, and apologized while cleaning up, "Fang Cai's account is calculated when it is critical, and the little lady has been neglected, Wan Wanghaihan!" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie pursed his lips: "It's nothing." ”

The lady was neat with her hands and feet, and in a moment she put things in order, took a stack of account books and called Songnu: "Put it in the box, and wait for the new owner to come tomorrow and then 'hand' it over." ”

Songnu promised to go down, and Zhuo Zhaojie said strangely: "Want to change the owner?" ”

"Exactly!" The lady came over to lead them upstairs, and said as she walked, "Originally, it was going to be changed, but my grandfather promised Chang'an Li everyone to have a pipa, and it was not completed until recently, so I transferred the store out...... It is also a coincidence that the lady came, although the new owner intends to open this boya fast, but since it is the last day of this fast, no matter which side the lady fancies, he will subtract thirty percent from the lady. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie had a lot of money, and he didn't care about the price, but said strangely: "I haven't touched the pipa before, and I want to buy it now, even the coachman knows that your pipa is good, why can't you open it?" ”

"My grandfather is old and wants to go back to his hometown." The lady smiled and said, "My grandfather is from Yanzhou. ”

The speaking room went to the second floor, and the second floor was a wide room that was opened up entirely, with more than a dozen pipas on the four walls, and in the middle there were screen low couches, plum 'flowers' and so on, for guests to audition on the spot.

Fang Niangzi said: "This floor is for small successes, the workmanship is more 'fine' than the three sides downstairs, and the texture is better, but ...... What Songnu said is right, the lady just started to learn, just buy one side and become, after all, it is inevitable that there will be errors in strength and posture when you are just starting to learn, and it is easy to be damaged. ”

“…… It's good. Zhuo Zhaojie looked at the second floor of more than a dozen pipa one by one - she would also watch a lively look, since the seller has repeatedly thought that as long as he buys the downstairs, after thinking about it, he still listens to the advice of the insiders.

After buying the pipa, the lady Fang personally adjusted the sound in person, and asked Zhuo Zhaojie to dial a few times to try the feel, Zhuo Zhaojie of course dialed it in a daze, Fang Niangzi listened, but said that it was already accurate, seeing that Zhuo Zhaojie was not on the side, she asked another little boy Bo Nu to wrap it up for her, told a few words about the maintenance of the pipa, and said: "Look at the appearance of the lady is that she suddenly wants to learn the pipa?" But you don't know that you can find the Master? ”

"No...... I saw a companion learning today, so I came to buy one first. Zhuo Zhaojie shook his head.

Fang Niangzi smiled: "No wonder...... If you have a master, most of the pipa on this side is selected by the master, if the lady has not planned to apprentice, can you ask me to recommend a master? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie just had this intention, but I heard that this Fang Niangzi and that boya Lao Suo were going back to Yanzhou, so she didn't mention it, and now Fang Niangzi took the initiative to say it, of course she couldn't ask for it: "Please also ask Fang Niangzi to sue me?" ”

"It's the new owner who will come tomorrow." Fang Niangzi smiled and said, "It's not a secret, this boya Zhai is my grandfather's life's work, although I plan to return to my hometown, but I don't want to fall into the hands of Shangjia, that Xie Niangzi is to impress my grandfather with her pipa skills, and my grandfather is willing to transfer the shop to her." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie heard that the new owner was also a 'girl', and even the boya old man who had made the pipa for Li Yanjing was impressed, and he was overjoyed: "Dare to ask Fang Niangzi, where is this Xie Niangzi now?" ”

"Xie Niangzi is a native of Xizhou, but she came to Moling alone to join her relatives, and now she plans to settle down in Moling, wanting to find a livelihood, because she has discussed the pipa with her grandfather a few times, and she has taken the 'sex' of the house." Fang Niangzi pursed her lips and smiled, "She lives outside the city now, and it is not convenient for the lady to be in the past, it is better to leave a surname mansion, and I will talk about it when I 'hand' over with her tomorrow...... Xie Niangzi is very good, and the lady can come directly to find her the day after tomorrow. ”

"My surname is Zhuo." Zhuo Zhaojie bowed slightly, "Now that I live in Youfu, please tell Mrs. Fang." ”

"Youfu?" Fang Niangzi said unexpectedly, "Could it be the younger generation of the You Lao Hanlin family?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie did not hide it: "You Lao Hanlin is a grandfather. ”

"It turned out to be a little lady with the scholarly name 'Gate'." Fang Niangzi's eyes showed a hint of joy, and she said with a smile, "I'm really slacking off today." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said: "Fang Niangzi is polite, but I haven't learned this, but I don't know how Xie Niangzi's restraint is?" I also hope that Mrs. Fang will give you advice. ”

"Although Xie Niangzi's pipa skills are clever, she is not a few years older than Zhuo Niangzi." Fang Niangzi pursed her lips and smiled, "Zhuo Niangzi can just seal the gift." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie exchanged a few more words with her, and then let Ming 'Yin' and Ming Ye take the wrapped pipa and leave with Fang Niangzi.
