Chapter 122: The Rouge Goose Breast and the West Chamber (5)
In Piaoxiang Curie, Liu's shopkeeper is busy. She is in her early thirties, with a gorgeous appearance and a bewitching figure, but she has a hot temper. It is said that someone once came to the door to propose marriage, saying that they didn't mind Liu Piaoxiang's past and were willing to marry her, but Liu Piaoxiang was forced out of Piaoxiangju with a wine bottle. Because the matter is too big, even if there are still people who covet Liu Piaoxiang, they don't dare to come to the door to say goodbye easily.
Speaking of which, this Liu Piaoxiang is also a bit of a legendary figure.
It is said that she once fell in love with a man at first sight, but unfortunately the other party did not fall in love with her. thinks she is too beautiful, and if she marries home, she must not be a peaceful person. When Liu Piaoxiang heard this, she went directly to the other party's door and asked him why he said this. If he doesn't marry, he just says that it's okay not to marry, why should he slander her, and define her casually. If he is not convinced, he can marry her back and see if she is as lonely and restless as he said.
If an ordinary man is so provoked by a woman, even if he is not annoyed and angry, he will avoid it, but this man likes her because of Liu Piaoxiang's actions. After going back and forth, the two gradually fell in love, and they were about to talk about marriage, but the man's family suddenly disliked Liu Piaoxiang's background.
Liu Piaoxiang, who has a hot temperament, almost eloped with a man, but the man appeased her, saying that as long as Liu Piaoxiang was willing to wait for him, he would definitely have a way to convince his father. One year, two years, it's easy to wait for the man's father and mother to relax, but the man is infected with an emergency. The man was afraid of dragging Liu Piaoxiang down, so he asked her to find another person, but Liu Piaoxiang insisted on refusing, and only wanted to protect him for the rest of his life. Seeing that Liu Piaoxiang was so stubborn, the man thought about marrying her before he died, but the night before he got married, the man left with a stomach full of regrets.
Although Liu Piaoxiang never officially left the cabinet or officially entered the man's house, on the day of the man's funeral, he wore a red wedding robe, rode a horse, and sent him off with a smile. Since then, although Liu Piaoxiang is still Liu Piaoxiang, her feelings have followed the man.
Bai Ze found a secluded corner, ordered wine and food, and asked Xu Qing to take out the qin. As soon as the piano was placed on the table, Bai Li smelled a very special smell of decay. She frowned, looked at Xu Qing and his wife, and asked, "Can you smell the smell of this piano?" ”
Xu Qing shook his head blankly: "What kind of flavor can this piano have?" Is it the taste of storage? ”
"There's no taste, this is a guqin, even if it has a taste, it should have been dispersed a long time ago." Juan'er on the side also replied in a daze.
"They can't smell it, ordinary people's noses won't be as smart as Li'er's nose." Bai Ze looked down at the qin: "There is a strong smell of dead people on this qin." ”
"Dead man's smell! Is that the female ghost that Mr. said earlier? At the mention of the female ghost, Juan'er's face became ugly.
"Like Li'er, I don't have much research on the guqin, but the common ones in making guqin are paulownia wood, fir wood, Han wood, and agarwood. Among them, Han wood refers to the beams or coffins of ancient old houses. If I'm not mistaken, the guqin in Brother Xu Qing's hand is made of a coffin in the Han wood, and it is a very rare golden silk nanmu among the people. Of course, this piano is not made of a whole section of golden silk nanmu, and the position of the headstock is grafted with other wood, but it is obvious that the craftsman of this violin is very skilled, and the grafting is not very obvious. Here. Look here. ”
Bai Ze pointed to a certain place on the piano for Xu Qing and his wife to see.
"Coffin, what Mr. Bai just said is true?" Juan'er's attention was obviously not on what the graft was.
"It is not uncommon to make a guqin from a coffin, but the strange thing that Brother Xu Qing encountered has nothing directly related to whether it is a coffin made of a piano, it can only be said that he happened to meet a piano made of this coffin. Let me make it clearer, that is, the girl who once lay in this coffin is a master who is very obsessed. ”
"Then why did she pester my husband, and only my husband?" Juan'er clasped Xu Qing's hand: "It's a guqin, not to mention a hundred years, no matter how you calculate it, it has nothing to do with my husband." It's not that I'm afraid of the ghost in this piano, but I'm afraid that she will always haunt my husband. We came to Mr., first, to find out what secrets are hidden in this guqin, and secondly, to know how this qin can let my husband go. Sir, do you know, what kind of torture did this guqin make my husband? ”
"I can see it." Bai Ze looked at Xu Qing's emaciated face and touched his nose lightly: "Don't worry, let me ask about this guqin." ”
"Ask, how do you ask?" Bai Li pointed to the guqin resting on the table, "Is it difficult to face her and ask her what her surname is, why do you want to put herself on this guqin, and why do you pester Xu Qing?" If this guqin really opened its mouth to speak, not to mention them, even me, I was a little scared and panicked. ”
"Li'er is so cute, of course you can't ask Qin like that." Bai Ze cleared his throat, took the piano to him, looked at Xu Qing and asked, "Don't you mind if I play a song?" ”
"Mr. Bai, please!" Xu Qing owes himself.
"Can you play the piano?" Bai Li watched Bai Ze put his hand on the piano, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I didn't do it before, but if I've seen it, it shouldn't be difficult." Bai Ze said, caressing the strings, and a string of piano notes poured out from his fingertips.
Not to mention, this tune that Bai Ze plays casually is actually a bit good. But just when Bai Li held her chin, closed her eyes, and was about to listen blindly, her hand was suddenly pulled down by Bai Ze and pressed on the strings. As soon as Bai Li wanted to open his eyes, many unfamiliar images broke into his mind.
"What is this?" She asked, only to realize that she had said it in her heart.
"It's the picture that Guqin wants us to see, and it's also the story of Guqin. Shhhhh Bai Ze's voice came from the side, but Bai Li didn't see Bai Ze after looking around, and as for herself, she couldn't see it.
"Don't look for it, someone's coming." After Bai Ze finished speaking, Bai Li saw a maid wearing a red jacket, holding a plate, hurriedly walking in front of his eyes.
No matter how the picture is, she finally saw Bai Ze, but the Bai Ze in front of her was no longer the fortune teller she was familiar with, but a servant. She pointed at Bai Ze with her finger, and just wanted to open her mouth to ask, but heard someone calling her name: "Li'er, you send this to Zhang Gongzi." ”
Before the brain could think, the hand was already outstretched. took the sachet handed over from the opposite side, turned around, and saw his own appearance. The white glass in the bronze mirror is also dressed as a maid.
