Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Return (Part II)

As soon as it was dawn, Xu Changan woke up from the Huanxi Building.

There was still a smell of alcohol on his body, and he stood against the railing.

He frowned, patted his head, and swayed a little. It seems that he thinks there is water in this head and wants to shake it out.

After a moment, he looked downstairs and saw Xuanyuan Chi.

This Xuanyuan Chi was wearing a black dress, and the whole person seemed to be much more energetic than before, and there was no sense of being out of the dust. The long hair was also tied up, and he stood downstairs, with his head straight, like an ambitious young man.

It's a pity that he has long since passed his old age and is no longer a young man.

When Xu Changan saw him, he frowned and sniffed his body, so he hurriedly found two new brocade clothes to change into, tied his hair up, washed his face seriously, and hurriedly went downstairs.

When he arrived downstairs, Xuanyuan Chi was still standing in place, standing with his hands in his hands.

One is black, one is white, one is black, one is white, and two are conspicuous.

Unfortunately, no one noticed the two of them in the morning, but hurried towards the depths of Pingkangfang.

"Okay, let's go!" Xuanyuan was extremely natural, as if he had already made an appointment with Xu Changan.

Xu Changan was confused and stunned in place. Xuanyuan Chi took two steps forward before he stopped, looked at Xu Changan's inquiring gaze, frowned and asked, "Don't you want to buy that famous piano?"

"What piano?"

Xuanyuan Chi looked at him as if he really didn't know, so he said: "Winding the beam, there is an old saying that 'the aftersound is around the beam, and the sound is endless for three days', and then the piano is called the winding beam." ”

This allusion Xu Chang'an knew that it was rumored that in the troubled times before the Ji Dynasty, there was a female luthier named Han E. Her family was in the middle of the road, and she went to Qidi alone to find the help of relatives, and when she passed by the gate of Chang'an, she ran out of food money, so she had no choice but to sing and beg for food. At that time, it was a troubled time, and my stomach might not be able to manage it. How could anyone care about her?

Therefore, Han E's voice was hoarse, the sound of the piano was like crying, the singing was like a complaint, and the tactful singing voice swirled in the air, like a lonely goose chirping.

In the end, Han E died of exhaustion, and three days after her death, the song still floated under Chang'an City, making the listeners sad and the listeners crying.

Since then, the aftermath has become synonymous with praising singing and piano sounds.

If you want to say that this "winding beam" became a famous qin, it was 20 years after Han E's death, and the troubled times were still there, when a girl in her twenties came to Chang'an with the piano on her back. At that time, Chang'an was occupied by the king of Chu, and the king of Chu liked the sound of Qin music, so the girl offered a piano, claiming that she was Han E's niece, and this piano was called Huanliang.

After the king of Chu got the winding beam, he indulged in the sound of the beautiful night and night, and even did not go to court in March, and enjoyed the song every night.

At that time, when she was not paying attention to the situation that she would be destroyed by the enemy, the princess appeared to persuade the king of Chu.

"King, at the beginning, the young lord of the Xia Kingdom loved his sister Xizhise, and finally ended up in a different place; and the young lord Xin of the Shang Land was obsessed with the sound of the delight, and finally lost the capital to compete for the world; now you love this sound of winding the beam, and you ignore state affairs in March, do you want to end up like them?"

At that time, the king of Chu was not a mediocre person, and as soon as these words came out, he was like Hong Zhong Da Lu, which made him empowered.

He slapped himself in the mouth fiercely, then reluctantly cut his love, and ordered someone to use Tie Ruyi to beat the beam into three pieces, and finally burned it.

A generation of famous pianos has only left these two stories. Nothing else.

Xu Changan heard Xuanyuan Chi mention the Liang, and said directly without thinking about it: "Isn't this Liangliang rumored to be destroyed? How can it appear in Chang'an, even if you stay, shouldn't it be in the treasury of your Xuanyuan family?"

Xuanyuan sighed and looked at Xu Changan, anyway, the qin couldn't run, so he simply explained to him.

"Back then, when the descendants of the King of Chu saw that such a good qin was destroyed, how could they be willing to do it!

Xu Changan was a little ashamed, the people of Confucius Temple, reading history books is the most basic. Whether it is writing an essay or being reasonable, reading history books is the best way. With history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall. But he knew a lot about these allusions since he was a child, but he didn't study them carefully, and Uncle Shi instead memorized all those military books and the like.

"The beam was not destroyed, and the Ji Dynasty looked for it at the beginning. However, the pattern of Chang'an has changed and changed a long time after the war, so I didn't find it. A few days ago, a group of tomb robbers dug up an unknown grave, which contained nothing of value, let alone a corpse, only a piano. Afterwards, they asked someone who knew how to take a look, and after evaluation, the piano they dug up was the rumored winding beam. ”

When Xu Changan heard this, he suddenly realized.

Chang'an Pingkangfang singing and dancing, Pingkangfang has more strange women who can sing and dance, and it is most suitable to come to Pingkangfang to sell pianos publicly.

"That's right, Miss Fan was with you Qin Xiao and Ming, that was a good story, it's normal for you to come to ask for the piano. Xu Changan patted his head and looked at Xuanyuan Chi, who was slightly red, with a smile on his face.

"Aren't you the same, Miss Mo is the holy hand in the piano, if you don't want to move. If I didn't know about you and Miss Mo, I wouldn't want to wait for you, just one more opponent. ”

Hearing this, the smile on Xu Changan's face stopped abruptly.

Xuanyuan Chi didn't know about Mo Qingshui and Xu Changan, and he didn't know that Mo Qingshui had escaped into the empty door now.

As for Wang Zihan, he naturally knew it, but now the court law does not say that monogamy is necessary, but his father Xuanyuan Chutian was very affectionate, so he has always been alone.

As long as you are willing, a man can have three wives and four concubines, and as long as the man is willing, a woman can also have three husbands and four servants.

So, he didn't think much about it, so he blurted out directly.

Xu Changan raised his eyes and smiled reluctantly: "You can't call her a girl now, you should be called a master or a nun, you can't joke around." As for me, there was once a girl who sacrificed her life for me several times, how could I bear her. ”

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chi was also stunned, and then muttered, "Master...... Nun ......"

The look on Xu Chang'an's face fell into his eyes, and he knew that he had unintentionally uncovered Xu Changan's scar, so he hurriedly said, "I don't know either, I'm sorry, I'm ...... myself"

Xuanyuan Chi's voice became smaller and smaller, since Xu Changan helped him and Fan Zhimo, and also helped him relieve the pain of demon poison, he really regarded Xu Changan as a brother. Otherwise, Xuanyuan Chi, the eldest prince of the year

, how can today's great general be low-voiced......

He didn't wait for Xu Changan to answer, turned around and was about to leave, when Xu Changan suddenly spoke.

"Wait a minute, I'll go check it out too!"

......

Fengqiwu, the place where the eldest prince hid Jiaojiao, has long been turned into a ruin, and ruins and broken walls can be seen everywhere.

And this time, the bidding and auction were all before the ruins of this phoenix.

Since the eldest prince almost made a big mistake, this place has been ruined. Because this place belonged to him in the first place, no one else dared to come and build it again.

The Fengqiwu of the year is now in ruins, and it is really suitable to auction this winding beam!

I saw that early in the morning, people had already surrounded the ruins of Fengqiwu, and even many girls from Huanxilou were among them, and they were all stunned when they saw Xu Changan.

These girls are all good at singing and dancing, and this rumored piano is in the world, so it is natural to come and take a look. Even if you can't get it, it's good to take a look.

Of course, it's more of a child, if you get this piano, I'm afraid that few girls in the entire Pingkangfang will refuse them.

In the anticipation of everyone, the first to come out were three men.

They were wearing brocade clothes, but the temperament on their bodies couldn't be concealed, and at a glance, they knew that these people were working in the soil.

In front of the ruins of Fengqiwu, there was a high platform that had just been built, and the three of them walked up to the high platform, cleared their throats and said: "Everyone, this piano was dug out by our three brothers, everyone paid for it, and the one with more money was sold to him." Our three brothers are all honest people, and we will sell whatever we dig out of the soil. ”

It's okay if he doesn't say it, but if he says it, it will arouse suspicion from others.

When the people who helped them in the auction heard this, two old men hurried out.

As soon as these two people came out, most of the hearts of the people were relieved.

These two people, one is the president of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, and the other is the president of the Qin Association;

The two walked up, and they didn't talk nonsense, and after a few opening remarks, they said directly: "Okay, everyone bids, and the one with the highest price wins." If there is no bidder within the five-interest period, the last bidder will receive it. ”

After finishing speaking, one of the two elders carried the gong, and the other directly rang the gong.

At the same time, I don't know when a piano platform appeared on the high platform, and a piece of cloth happened to cover it.

The gong sounded, the cloth was opened, and the guqin appeared in front of everyone.

Suddenly, bids came and went.

The reserve price started from zero, and after an hour, the price reached as much as 80,000 taels of silver.

Now the bidders are some sons and brothers with rich families, anyway, now the court will investigate the origin of these silver coins, and the people in their family are eager for them to spend it earlier and wash the silver taels.

Otherwise, if this new deal comes out, I'm afraid that if it is checked, many of the silver taels that were forcibly seized by Hao will not be able to explain it clearly.

At this point, the noise became quieter, and the breathing of onlookers could be heard every time the bid was made.

After all, ordinary small merchants can earn a year in Chang'an, and forty or fifty taels of silver are enough. A big mansion is only a hundred taels of silver.

These 80,000 taels, in their opinion, are sky-high, and they can't even think of it.

At this time, the chamber of commerce will verify the identity, and if someone bids indiscriminately, they will beat it first, and then send it to the government.

The price of 80,000 taels has passed for three breaths, and the eldest prince frowned, and now he can only bid.

"Ninety thousand taels!" the voice of the eldest prince sounded in the crowd.

When the people heard the voice, they parted of their own accord. At this time, the eldest prince and Xu Changan both wore masks so as not to cause unnecessary commotion.

Because of his bid, the two of them were pushed forward.

The first time the eldest prince made a bid, naturally there was a small servant who came to ask for a token to verify his identity.

Generally speaking, verifying your identity is either a token, a jade pendant, or of course, a valuable artifact, to show that you have the ability.

The eldest prince glanced at the high platform, and there were monks guarding it all around, and even one of them was a half-step grandmaster.

He took out a token from his bosom and covered it with his hand so that the rest of the people would not see it. He put the token in the hand of the little servant and whispered, "You cover it for me, only for the adults of your family." ”

The people who can bid now are not ordinary people, and the little guy naturally knows it, and he doesn't dare to make a mistake, so he hurriedly nodded and left with the token.

It didn't take long for the little guy to come out with a box, and there was a little more fear in his eyes when he looked at the masked prince and Xu Changan.

He handed over the box with both hands, but he knew, the owner of this token, how could he not be afraid?

The eldest prince took the box, quickly took out the token, and returned the box to the little servant.

Previously, due to the need to verify identity, other people's bids were temporarily stopped.

Everyone looked at the high platform, waiting for the verification to take over, although they had already guessed, but guessing was not the same as the feeling of others saying that they were sure.

"Ninety thousand taels, one time!"

When they heard this, their breath became short.

But before the second voice could be shouted, a lazy voice sounded.

"Ninety thousand and one taels!"

When the eldest prince heard this, he turned his head sharply and looked for the figure of the speaker in the crowd.

I saw a boy in a brocade dress walking out, Xu Changan looked at this person a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

The boy threw a brocade bag directly on the stage, and said indifferently: "Take it for verification!"

The auctioneer was unhappy, but he had to do it, and he picked up the brocade bag and sent it to the rear. Soon, the little guy came out and returned the brocade bag to the boy.

"Ninety thousand and one taels are valid, once!"

When Xuanyuan Chi heard this, he also glanced at this brocade-clothed boy in surprise.

"One hundred thousand!" he said in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on the boy who was standing with them.

"One hundred thousand and one taels!" Brother Gongzi said nonchalantly.

"One hundred thousand!"

"One hundred and one hundred thousand

One or two!"

No matter how much Xuanyuan Chi adds, this boy will add one or two more.

Xu Changan saw that the situation was not right, he found that this boy would inadvertently glance at him a few times, so he planned to speak out to help Xuanyuan Chi.

"Two hundred thousand taels!" Xu Changan immediately increased the price, he didn't say much, and he didn't bother to verify, so he directly opened the mask.

Seeing this, the boy bared his teeth and continued to speak.

"Two hundred thousand and one taels!"

The eldest prince was suspicious at this time, it seems that this person is not aimed at himself.

This boy looked at Xu Changan, bared his teeth and smiled: "Xu An'an, if you don't go to Qi Xiaojia, what are you here to mix, I remember that Qi Xiaojia can't play the piano!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone covered their mouths and laughed.

They have all read the popular scripts now, especially about Xu Anan and Qi Xiaojia.

Xu Changan was so angry with him that he could only snort coldly in the end.

This son-in-law seemed to know what the eldest prince thought, so he directly arched his hand and said: "Brother Tai, I have no intention of making trouble, I just really want this piano, this piano is very important to me!"

"One million taels! Don't add one or two to one, give you a reserve price, and I won't compete with you!"

The eldest prince said coldly.

This boy bared his teeth and smiled very brightly in the sun.

"300,000 taels! This is the price that Luo Ziang can afford!"

The eldest prince frowned, even the people around him were puzzled, and some even thought that he was here to make trouble!

But before they could get angry, Luo Ziang continued: "Gold! not silver!"

These 300,000 taels of gold are three million taels of silver!

Xuanyuan Chi glanced at him, took a deep breath, and then said, "Okay, I'll let you!"

When they heard this, they were in an uproar.

What everyone didn't expect was that after this person delivered it, the first thing he did was to smash the piano directly!

These three million taels of things, he said to smash them!

When it was smashed, some papers flew down from the sky, and when Luo Ziang saw this situation, he said aloud: "Qin is dead, I Luo is alive, isn't my Luo someone's literary and poetic talent worth the three million taels?"

Everyone picked up these papers and looked at them, and they were really brilliant.

Xuanyuan's face under the mask was blue and white for a while, and finally saw that the beam was destroyed, so he could only sigh and walk away!

"Luo Ziang!" The name passed through a piano and suddenly shocked Chang'an!

Xu Changan glanced at this person and thought he was interesting, and when he looked up, he saw Li Daoyi and Xiaobai in the sky sprinkling paper.

As soon as Li Dao knew that Xu Changan had discovered him, he quietly fell.

Xu Changan ran to Li Daoyi and was about to speak, he had a lot of questions to ask. But before he opened his mouth, he saw that his senior brother didn't know when he was standing behind him.

Luo Ziang was proudly on the high platform, and suddenly someone shouted: "Isn't this the 'Brother Without Nothing' who is overwhelming everyone in Huanxilou?"

As soon as this remark came out, it was even more lively below.

Originally, the women who were sorry for the destruction of the famous piano also covered their mouths and smiled.

Luo Ziang knew that he couldn't stay any longer, and was about to run, when he saw Qi Fengjia, he could only take advantage of the chaos and run to Qi Fengjia.

"Young Master Luo, you don't stay in the Western Secluded Land, what are you doing in Chang'an?"

A trace of an embarrassed smile appeared on Luo Ziang's face, and he wiped the sweat on his forehead with his big sleeve before he said, "The old man heard that those laipi snakes were arrogant, and they sent me ......."

Qi Fengjia nodded, patted Luo Ziang's shoulder and said, "Also, the Lan family has a hand on the Kraken, and your Luo family has a hand on the Snake Demon." What you did just now, do you want to be an official?"

Before Luo Ziang could speak, Qi Fengjia said to Xu Changan: "Let him accept the assessment of Xun Fa and Chu Shilian, and also, in the future, Zhan Xu will let him guard it." ”

After saying that, he made a gesture to leave.

Luo Ziang breathed a sigh of relief, and Qi Fengjia suddenly stopped.

"Read less miscellaneous books, otherwise I'll let you read them in front of Old Man Luo and ask for an explanation!"

When Luo Ziang heard this, he thought of Xu Anan and Qi Xiaojia, and he panicked!

......

Two days later, Luo Ziang was arranged.

As for Luo Ziang's identity, Xu Changan didn't ask much. After being reminded by Qi Fengjia, Li Daoyi also knew Luo Ziang's identity. But Li Daoyi didn't tell Xu Changan, just said that Luo Ziang was the same as Lan Yu, and this person would not be bad for the world.

And that Zhan Xu, seeing Luo Ziang, was like a mouse seeing a cat, and he lost his previous calmness.

When Xu Changan saw this scene, he was also relieved, so he walked out of Chang'an with Li Daoyi and Xiaobai and headed towards Iron Sword Mountain!

......

The reform was in full swing, and the people applauded one after another.

The three of them left Chang'an, and a young man in white carried a spear on his back and a girl in his hand.

He seemed to be worried that the girl was a little uncomfortable, so he held the girl tightly, and introduced with a gentle smile: "Don't be afraid, Yan'er, the father-in-law is very good, he will not disagree with us;

This man and woman received the news and came back to Chang'an to form a new army in order to guard against Jiang Ming and Han Yan'er of the demon clan!

When they first entered the city, Xu Changan, Li Daoyi and Xiaobai just left the city!

Once you miss this wine, you will drink together again, and you will be on the battlefield!

.......................................................................................

If you are interested in winding the beam, you can check it, I changed a small point of this allusion;

As for Luo Ziang, not much to say; there is a poet who is extravagant and spends his money, buys a good piano and smashes it, just to let others see his literary brilliance and talent; in the end, this poet left a famous sentence: "I don't see the ancients before, and I don't see the comers after; I look at the world and the world, and I cry alone!"

This poet is called Chen Ziang!
