Ning Shaobi said: "Huh? ”

"Mama Chang said that the grandmother of the fourteenth aunt, Concubine Zhou, like our grandmother, is also fond of collecting pipa. Therefore, when the first emperor was there, he gave Concubine Zhou several excellent pipa. Zhuo Zhaojie turned around, sat back on the couch, and said, "Mama Chang also said, don't say that the fourteenth aunt didn't drop one side of the pipa carefully, even if she fell on more than ten or twenty sides, Concubine Zhou may not be able to take out another side!" ”

Mama Chang said this before, and then explained that Tang Ruoyi came to show goodwill. Zhuo Zhaojie didn't think much about it, but now that he thinks about it, I'm afraid the meaning here may not be so simple.

Ning Shaobi said that Tang Ruoyi was a scheming person, and he could have made Ning Shaobi a lot of trouble four years ago. Where can such a person's gesture be so obvious and abrupt? Therefore, her intention to come to the 'door' should not be taken lightly.

Li Yanjing's suspicion is one, and the pipa is probably still one place here - Tang Ruoyi mentioned a total of two people this time, one is Xie Yingmai and the other is Li Yanjing, but the 'intersection' of these two people is Boya Zhai.

Boya Zhai, which is famous for making pipa.

Tang Ruoyi also personally played the pipa of the wedding gift given by Xie Yingmai......

At that time, Zhuo Zhaojie didn't know that Concubine Zhou had a lot of good pipa, but Tang Ruoyi really wanted to find Xie Yingmai to make a new pipa. After all, as far as she is concerned, Xie Yingmai's skills in making pipa are indeed not bad.

When it comes to understanding the pipa, how can Zhuo Zhaojie compare with Tang Ruoyi, who had dozens of pipa hidden by his grandmother given by the previous emperor? Zhuo Zhaojie has never seen a few people with a good pipa, and his eyesight is naturally much worse.

So now let's think about Tang Ruoyi's previous words-

"I think the craftsmanship of making this pipa is more reliable for people of some age."

No matter how you hear it, it's like there's something in the words!

Xie Yingmai is a capable person, there is no doubt about this, but no matter how capable he is, the handicraft work is not something that can be achieved overnight. Counting the Chenguang who she learned to make pipa, it has only been four years since she was full, and with such a little Chenguang, the professor who is ordered by the ordinary apprentice in front of the master may not be enough to become a teacher.

What's more, the old owner of Boya Zhai passed on his skills and returned to his hometown?

Xie Yingmai may have made a good pipa, according to what the county lord said, it is a crispy and explosive Jiantang, and it is a billet for a good pipa, but it can be said that it overwhelmed the pipa made by the famous craftsmen of the previous dynasty who overwhelmed the first emperor's secret hidden in the inner library and rewarded his most beloved concubine Zhou in his later years...... But it seems to be a bit too much.

Tang Ruoyi's euphemistic and tortuous actions were certainly not to deliberately compliment Xie Yingmai......

So......

Zhuo Zhaojie asked, "Do you remember that four years ago, we met in Boya Zhai, and you went to Boya Zhai to ask for a pipa?" ”

Ning Shaobi nodded: "I was looking for my grandmother, but unfortunately I was a step late." ”

"But I know that. Li Yanjing is said to have ordered a pipa at Boya Zhai a few years ago, and he went to Moling that year to get it in person. Zhuo Zhaojie said thoughtfully, "The old owner of Boya Zhai seems to be a special 'door', and when he went, he transferred the shop to Sister Xie and took the younger generation back to his hometown - so he passed on the skills of making pipa to Sister Xie." ”

"It's strange, this kind of handicraft has always paid attention to passing on men and not 'women', even if it is one's own flesh and bones, not everyone can learn it, why did the old owner of Boya Zhai teach Xie so happily?" Ning Shaobi raised her eyebrows and said, "The name of Boya Zhai was not a first-class pipa shop in Chang'an a few decades ago, and it was quite famous, otherwise how could Li Yanjing deliberately order a pipa with them?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said: "It's not strange that the shop has changed, and the craftsmanship has also been passed down together." I think that in this matter, I am afraid that Sister Xie has been calculated. ”

"I've been calculated." Ning shook his head and said, "As soon as the craftsmanship is passed on - whoever thinks is that either the Xie family has always been the apprentice of the old club, or the old owner has no descendants under his knees, so as not to lose the ancestral craft, this is eclectic." ”

"But Boya Zhai has been in the hands of Sister Xie for nearly four years, and it only changed hands a few months ago, and it didn't cause any trouble in the end?" Zhuo Zhaojie groaned.

Ning Shaobi said calmly: "Then the old owner transferred the shop to the Xie family—didn't the Xie family just come to Moling from Lingnan at that time?" She bought this shop to make a living, yes or no? So this means that even if the old owner of Na Boya Zhai spares no effort to teach him, it is impossible for the Xie family to hone his skills for ten or eight years before opening again...... If you want the name of Boya Zhai, won't you definitely fall in the hands of the Xie family? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie groaned and said: "As soon as you say it, I remembered that Bo Yazhai was indeed 'cold' after Sister Xie took over. I didn't even think to ask about profit and loss, but I didn't think I would make anything. Originally, I thought that others didn't trust the new owner, so in this way, Sister Xie's pipa making skills would indeed not be better than the old club. ”

"This kind of shop, which has been passed down for generations, along with the family craftsmanship, is not something that can be let go." Ning Shaobi condensed and said, "And the Xie family took over Boya Zhai after Li Yanjing went south to get the pipa...... I'm afraid this matter is not small! ”

Those who can ask people to eat by their crafts hurriedly throw away the skills, trade names, and industries handed down from their ancestors—this is not an ordinary trivial matter. The problem is that Li Yanjing personally went south to get the pipa...... and the rush of the old owner of Boya Zhai, what is here?

The pipa was made by the old owner of Boya Zhai himself.

"Ming'er also asked Sister Xie to come over and ask, how did she take down Boya Zhai back then?" Zhuo Zhaojie and Ning Shaobi discussed for a long time, and decided to 'get' Li Yanjing and Xie Yingmai to the mansion the next day to ask what was going on.

I didn't want to send two people to invite each other the next day-after a while, I had to Xie Yingmai, but the people who were looking for Li Yanjing on the other side did not return for a long time.

Zhuo Zhaojie and Xie Yingmai said a few polite words, and took the opportunity to tell the two county lords that they wanted to find her to make pipa, and then they mentioned Li Yanjing's matter.

When Xie Yingmai heard this, she was really taken aback, her expression was extremely complicated, and she couldn't stop saying, "How can this be?" ”

"Sister Xie, how did you buy that shop back then? Why did the old club even pass on the craft to you? Zhuo Zhaojie asked suspiciously, "Where would a time-honored brand like Boya Zhai change hands easily?" Not to mention the craftsmanship. Even if the owner wants to go back to his hometown, how can the plaque be taken away - Boya Zhai did not open in Moling at the beginning, but it was opened in Chang'an for several years before moving to Moling...... If you can move to Moling, why can't you move back to your hometown? ”

Xie Yingmai's face was strange, and she said after a while: "You know, I was born in a reckless background, and I have followed my teacher to 'wave' and 'swing' on the rivers and lakes for two years. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said: "Huh? ”

"Although not everyone in the rivers and lakes is like this, most of them are admired...... It is the same white head as before, pouring the lid to 'intercourse', or the wine is a thousand cups of confidants...... "Xie Yingmai 'revealed' out of the stuffy 'color', and said, "At that time, I only came to Moling, because my cousin's family was inconvenient to live for a long time, so I wanted to see what livelihood I could do in Moling City." As a result, after entering the city, I walked around at will, and when I arrived at Boya Zhai, when I set off from Lingnan before, I didn't bring the pipa because it was cumbersome. My cousin-in-law's family was poor, so he had to have a guqin...... I'm afraid that if I don't play for a long time, I'll get my hands dirty, so I thought I'd go in and have a look, and if it's cheap, I'd buy one. ”

The rest of the story is very much more like a river and lake.

The old owner of Boya Zhai saw that she was trying the strings authentically, so he proposed to let her play a song, because the old owner was old, Xie Yingmai couldn't bear to brush her mind, and played a song according to her words - her pipa skills are indeed amazing.

So the old boss and her "hit it off at first sight", Xu was a confidant, and invited her to go to Boya Zhai to discuss pipa. Since the other party was an elder who was obsessed with pipa, it was inconvenient for Xie Yingmai to stay at his cousin's house at that time, so he naturally had no objection.

It didn't take long for the old owner to say that he wanted to go back to his hometown and planned to transfer the shop to Xie Yingmai. Xie Yingmai was very surprised—although her master left her some money when he died, it was not very much.

For a time-honored brand like Boya Zhai, how much silver is a plaque worth, where can she afford it? Besides, the old club is going back to his hometown, and if there is no one who makes pipa, what is the use of having a name?

As a result, the old owner patted his 'chest' with great righteousness and promised: "Since a certain family and a little friend are familiar at first sight, they should not be outsiders." This Boya Zhai is a time-honored brand handed down from the ancestors, for ordinary people, a certain family would rather starve to death than sell, but Xiaoyou has a deep foundation in this way, and the talent is high, this Zhai 'handover' with Xiaoyou, but it is not an insult to it......"

Hearing this, Zhuo Zhaojie asked in surprise: "So sister, you believe it?" ”

Xie Yingmai looked very embarrassed: "I just said that the old club is a 'sexual' person - I have seen a few such people when I was 'swinging' with my teacher before." I thought...... Alas, anyway, he said that his descendants could not inherit this craft, and he was very close to me, and in order not to lose this craft, he almost begged me to take over. At that time, I was afraid that I would sit and eat all the time, thinking that it would be good to have a shop open, even if the pipa couldn't be sold, it would be changed to a side one in the future...... But where did you think of ......?"

It's just a matter of course.

Xie Yingmai is a 'shrewd' person, and she is not the one who loves to be cheap. The problem is that when she followed her teacher to 'swing' on the rivers and lakes, she met many Ren Xia's refreshing 'sexual' lovers, uninhibited, happy, and wanton and chic. Even if she didn't continue to meet such people during the three years of filial piety in Xizhou, she didn't have much contact with any 'yin' tricks - the village where she lived had all been favored by her teacher, and she was very grateful to their master and apprentice, and if she had a heart, she might not use it on Xie Yingmai.

So after she finished her filial piety, she rushed to Moling to join her sister, and met the seemingly bold and wanton old proprietor of Boya Zhai, and was deceived at once......

However, there is another reason why Xie Yingmai has not doubted it for many years: "After I took over Boya Zhai, I immediately got your help, so I think that the people of Moling are all excellent ......."

Then I won't doubt the old proprietor, and I only think of the truth of 'excitement'.

Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't cry or laugh: I invited Xie Yingmai to find out the suspicions, didn't I think that she had been 'blinded' for all these years, and she had actually become an accomplice who 'blinded' her?
