Chapter 557: The Piano Master Arrives
Du Qinyue's face was relaxed, and the palace maid's expression was also relaxed, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. "Next, just wait for tomorrow." The palace maid thought silently in her heart, but she didn't say it.
In the midst of this anticipation, time flies. Du Qinyue only felt that it was just a blink of an eye, and it was already the second day.
Compared with the previous day, this day has added a lot of expectations. As long as she thought that the best pianist in Beijing was coming today and personally instructed her to play the piano, Du Qinyue seemed to see her stunning appearance when Shen Huo was born.
In this way, she couldn't wait for the luthier to arrive soon. With such thoughts, Du Qinyue was full of expectations. In this way, time passed, and soon it was past breakfast time, and it was already three poles in the morning.
But he said that General Du was there. Since Du Qinyue wrote a letter to General Du, asking General Du to invite the best violinist in Beijing to enter the palace, General Du has been very concerned.
After all, for General Du, Du Qinyue is not only his most beloved daughter, on the other hand, Du Qinyue also shoulders the responsibility of making the Du family more prosperous.
Therefore, as long as it is anything that Du Qinyue proposes that is beneficial to the Du family, General Du will do his best to satisfy it. Not to mention what Du Qinyue asked for this time.
The letter sent by Du Qinyue, General Du had already read it carefully. The content of the letter is very simple, it is nothing more than asking General Du to invite the best violinist in Beijing to bring him into the palace and teach Du Qinyue some knowledge about the piano, so that Du Qinyue can perform more brilliantly on the birthday of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ten days later.
General Du had no objection to this request. Du Qinyue was raised by General Du since he was a child, so General Du also knew that Du Qinyue's piano skills were outstanding. Presumably, with the teaching of the first pianist in Beijing, it is like a fish in water, and a satisfactory effect will be achieved at that time.
Thinking like this in his heart, General Du naturally did not delay, but immediately took action. After the palace maid sent by Du Qinyue to deliver the letter left, General Du rushed to the best piano master in Beijing without stopping.
"General Du is here this time, but what are you doing?" When the pianist saw General Du coming, he didn't have any special look, but he glanced at it lightly, then lowered his head, and said lightly, "If General Du has nothing to do, it is better to leave earlier, and rest later." β
It's no wonder that this pianist had such a cold attitude after seeing General Du. It is true that these days, because Shen Huo's birthday is approaching, everyone in the palace has the same thoughts, and they want to use all their strength to prepare, and show their most glamorous side on the birthday of the time.
Among them, many people hit the idea on the pianist. Many of the concubines in the palace have learned the piano, and as the first piano master in Beijing, it is not in vain. These days, the palace people who have come to look for the guidance of the piano master have lined up, and the piano master is also flooded in front of the door.
Everyone in the palace wanted to win the pianist, and each played a good game. It's just that the piano master is used to being pure and unwilling, and he doesn't want to get involved in harem disputes. These dignitaries, no matter which one they promised and which one they neglected, it was a troublesome thing, and the pianist simply refused them all, but he was happy to be pure.
Because of such a reason, almost as soon as General Du came today, the pianist knew the purpose of his coming, and his attitude was naturally extremely cold.
He had no intention of going to the palace to be a guide, and although Fang Cai's words were not explicitly stated, the meaning of refusal was also very obvious. If General Du is interested, he has already left at this time.
But General Du was uninterested. Not only was it not interesting, but General Du also stubbornly pestled there, and turned himself into a door god.
"Piano master. Root...... I came to you today, and naturally there is something to do. "If you have to ask for others, your attitude will naturally be lower. General Du didn't even use his usual self-title, looked at the piano master, and said sincerely, "That's the case, it looks like it's about to be His Royal Highness the Prince's birthday, but the little girl's preparation is not sufficient." If you want, can you go to the palace and give you some guidance? β
When the violinist heard this, his brow furrowed. He sneered and said, "General Du, I'm afraid you don't know the situation these days. Recently, I came here to look for someone, and there were countless nobles who wanted to guide and help here, but none of them agreed. Why, do you feel that you are special and want to seek some possibilities? β
The pianist is a bit ironic when he says this. But after General Du heard this, he was not very annoyed. When he came today, he had the intention of refusing the violinist. General Du was even ready to say what he would say if he came again, and now that the violinist was willing to say a few more words to him, it was already good news for General Du, so he was naturally not angry.
What's more, for General Du, he still has a killer feature.
"Piano master, don't worry?" General Du smiled, "I still have some good things here, you might as well read this and make a decision before you are too late." Whether you want to refuse or agree, I will not say anything, and I will never mess around. β
Boldness of execution stems from superb skill. The pianist relied on his own firm mind, and presumably after reading what General Du brought, his mind would not change.
Good stuff? It was none other than gold, silver, jewelry, and other objects. General Nadu is really going to be disappointed. While thinking silently in his heart, the pianist sneered and took what General Du had in his hand.
The things in General Du's hand were not heavy, and they didn't look special.
ββIn the eyes of the pianist, the thing in General Du's hand looks like a small package. The package felt a little soft, and it seemed to have a few rolled pages, or a thin book.
"What is this......" muttered the luthier as he casually opened the package, but his eyes widened when he saw what it contained.
I saw a small booklet lying quietly in the package. This booklet looks quite old, with a big word "qin" written in the middle of the book, and there is nothing else. This booklet looks quaint and has an air of mystery.
The violinist's nonchalant expression was suddenly restrained. His eyes widened, he raised his head in disbelief, and said to General Du, "This ...... Could this be the score that has long been lost? β
"That's right." General Du nodded with a smile and agreed with the pianist's words, "This score is not a side, it is the long-lost "Epiphany Order". By chance, I received it. β
"It's just that I'm a martial artist, and I don't like these vassal and elegant things, and this score is just dust at home. It's better to give it to the violinist, and it's a good thing. β
Speaking of this "Epiphany Order", there is another story. Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a luthier who was full of wealth, by chance, saw the epiphany blooming at night, and the piano was prosperous, and improvised this song "Epiphany Order", which was shocking for a while.
It's just that the pianist had a bad fate, and not long after writing the "Epiphany Order", he fell seriously ill, and the "Epiphany Order" has since become a perfect sound, and he disappeared with the departure of the violinist.
Unexpectedly, this long-lost score actually came to General Du. The luthier has always loved the piano, let alone this rare score. He was holding this book and was reluctant to let go.
After a long time, the pianist seemed to have made a big decision, struggled to look in the direction of General Du, and said, "No merit will be lost." If you want to take General Du's book, you will definitely have to pay some price. If General Du has any requests, he might as well say them, and if he can do it in the future, he will definitely not refuse. β
It's done! General Du was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was silent. He said calmly: "I don't actually have any other requirements, nothing more than the one I just mentioned."
General Du paused slightly, and then continued: "As long as the pianist promises me to enter the palace and teach this piece to the prince's concubine, that is, my daughter, so that she can shine on the prince's birthday in ten days, this score will naturally belong to the qinist."
Going around and around, I still got back to square one. The pianist had already expected it in his heart, so when General Du made this request, he didn't have a surprised look, but said: "Yes, it's just that I'm not a god after all." If the crown prince's concubine didn't know anything about the piano, she wouldn't be able to teach her anything in just ten days, let alone teach her to play the song "Epiphany Order". β
"At this point, the violinist can rest assured." After General Du heard this, he showed a relieved look, "I grew up with a side concubine, so I naturally know her." She has been practicing the piano since she was a child, and even if she is not proficient in piano skills, she is not bad. It was more than enough to teach her these ten days. β
After hearing General Du's words, the qin master put his heart at ease, nodded deeply, and said, "Since I have been so assured by General Du, I will be relieved in the future." This sheet music is temporarily collected below, and he will enter the palace tomorrow and teach it to Concubine Niangniang in person. β
Seeing that things got the result he wanted, even though General Du had always been calm, he couldn't help but show his eyebrows dancing at this time. He smiled and nodded: "In this way, it will be more troublesome for the violinist."
The two quickly came to an agreement, and the conversation ended smoothly. Because it was not early at the moment, there were still many affairs in General Du's mansion, so he did not stay with the piano master for a long time, and left immediately. And the pianist naturally did not want to keep General Du's departure.
General Du walked out of the pianist, looked up at the blue sky above his head, took a deep breath comfortably, and felt that his whole body was comfortable, his body and mind were happy, and he was extremely happy.
