When they arrived, Shunzhi and others also returned to the inn, gathered in the room, happily recounted what they had seen and heard that day, and put some local products on the table. As soon as Xuan Shuang entered the door, he kept waving a short knife in his hand, boasting: "Look, Eniang, this is made of high-grade Tibetan Ao fangs, which are extremely sharp, and even a single strand of hair can be easily cut." When all the generals wanted to hold Xuanshuang, they all praised: "Lord Belle has good eyesight!" "Such a treasure blade can only be used by Lord Belle!"

Cheng Jiaxuan held on for a day, her back was already sore, and she thought that she had found nothing, and it was difficult to explain to her father-in-law, and she was even more helpless. Xuan Shuang was still angry with herself, hurriedly coaxed, took out a box and handed it to her, and said, "Xiao Xuan, look what I brought back for you? Try it, it will definitely suit you. ”

Cheng Jiaxuan opened it listlessly, and saw that there was a silver-white bracelet in the box, with glass beads inlaid on the top, which looked very similar to gemstones. There are a few small bells on both sides, which jingle when they shake slightly.

Cheng Jiaxuan is not the first time to receive a gift from Xuan Shuang, in the past, whenever he had good words, he expected that there must be something to ask for, and replied without being salty: "Then thank you Lord Belle." ”

Xuan Shuang laughed dryly, seeing that her attitude was far less than the expected joy, she felt quite bored. After thinking about it, it was clear that he was fine in the morning, he really didn't offend her, this nameless fire may not be aimed at him, but he admitted his mistake first, and stuck his cold ass with a hot face, really like a fool. The more I thought about it, the more unjust I became, and I was embarrassed in front of everyone, so I said: "You haven't heard me finish speaking, I'm thinking that you are stupid, in case you get lost in the palace in the future, with this bell, I won't lose you." Well, I'm pretty prescient, right?"

Cheng Jiaxuan was already on fire, gave him a move, and immediately broke out, shouting: "Okay, you are just trying to tease people, you wait for me!" Xuan Shuang jumped around the room with a smile, dodged behind everyone, and made several grimaces at Cheng Jiaxuan, and finally jumped out of the open window, Cheng Jiaxuan was angry, and also jumped out. Everyone saw that these two children were innocent and lively, and they couldn't help laughing.

Shen Shiyun was dissatisfied with Xuanshuang's nonsense, and wanted to scold, but Shunzhi smiled and persuaded: "Forget it, it's difficult to go out of the palace to play, just let him have some fun! Although Xuanshuang is young, he can also understand what he is doing." If he really likes Xiao Xuan, I will be the master in the future and give them a marriage, that's it. Xiao Xuan is the emperor's uncle and daughter, and if she wants to be Xuanshuang's concubine, she should also be worthy. Shen Shiyun said: "The concubine doesn't care about Xiaoxuan's identity, these two children have grown up with us, of course it's good to be able to get married...... What worries me is that Xuanshuang doesn't have the responsibility to do big things, and she only thinks about playing ......"

Shunzhi said with a smile: "It's not a good thing for children to be too scheming, and they will mature slowly." Okay, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't worry about the juniors, say something happy, could it be that Xuanshuang only gave Xiaoxuan a bracelet and ignored you, so you are jealous?" Shen Shiyun smiled angrily: "How can there be? I don't have such a small device!"

Shunzhi smiled: "That's good, in fact, I also prepared a gift for you." Pick it up!" he said, waving behind him. Jianjun Wang Jidu stepped forward with a long package wrapped in white cloth, offered it with both hands, and said with a smile: "Concubine Yun Guiniang, this is specially bought by the emperor for you, he said that you must be happy to see it." ”

Shen Shiyun took the letter suspiciously, and Shunzhi suddenly said: "Slow, Yun'er, guess first, what's here?" Shen Shiyun pretended to think hard, and said: "Or is it not the rare game you hunted?" It is not very similar, this area is still a town, but there are no wild beast-infested barren mountains and snow mountains...... Besides, the shape won't be so regular......"

Shunzhi smiled: "You really guess, this reminds me of a picture: a bonfire was lit in the middle of the woods and clearing in the middle of the night, and the Mongolian warriors sat in a circle, each took out the spoils, barbecued a pig's leg against the fire, and acted bravely in front of his sweetheart, why do you want to follow suit?" Shen Shiyun sighed: "Then I can't guess." Shunzhi smiled and said, "I remind you, do you remember the scene when we first met?"

Shen Shiyun said: "How can you not remember this? It is really fate to be able to know the emperor." That night, you went to the Regent's Mansion to discuss matters, and I lived here for the first time, and in the middle of the night, I had mixed feelings in my heart, and I couldn't sleep well, so I got up and went to the pavilion in the courtyard to play the qin......" Suddenly a flash of inspiration appeared in my mind, surprised and happy, and said: "Is it ...... Could it be ......" and asked: "Can you take it apart?" Shunzhi smiled: "This was originally for you, if you can't dismantle it, you still want to stare at these strips of cloth for a lifetime?"

Shen Shiyun said angrily: "You have also learned to make fun of people! I really don't know who took you to spoil." While slowly disassembling the strip of cloth, I saw that it was indeed a delicate long piano, weighing three feet six inches and six minutes, eight inches wide in front, four inches wide in the back, and two inches thick. The material is like the finest mutton fat jade, and the pure white faintly reveals the celadon blue color, which is delicate to the touch and moisturizing.

The appearance is not jade or bamboo, and the surface is slightly cool. The strings are as soft and tenacious as spider silk. The lower right end is engraved with a pattern, which appears to be characters from the arrangement, but it is strange and difficult to read, and it can only be determined that it is not Manchu and Chinese. When I saw this piano, I really felt like "at first sight", and I liked it with both hands.

Shunzhi explained on the side: "I took you into the palace, but because of the busy state affairs, I can't always accompany you, and you are tired and tired all day long. You're empathetic and never complain about anything, but I've always felt sorry for you, and I've always tried to make it up to you. Although the piano in the palace is also made by Seiko, it is all mundane, lacking spiritual charm and insulting your fairy temperament. When I saw this piano, I suddenly felt a sense of inspiration, as if it was just for you, and now I can't put it down like this, I think this gift was not wrong?"

Shen Shiyun smiled and said, "The concubine also feels very close. Rare treasures, they have always been available but not sought, I don't know where the emperor found them?"

Shunzhi said: "Coincidentally, I led the crowd to wander around the street today, and saw a crowd of people, commenting on each other, thinking that there might be a lively look." When I got closer, I realized that the two were playing the piano and performing arts. I didn't study the instrument either, and after listening to it for a long time, I only felt that the piano was of the highest quality, but the player was a stupid Trojan horse, and it didn't match at all. In the words of the Han people, it is really called the pearl dark investment. Halfway through the bomb, the younger one knocked on the bamboo tube on the side, saying that they were two brothers, that there was a famine in the village, and that now both parents were dead, and they were in a foreign land, penniless. ”

Shen Shiyun said with a smile: "It's all charlatans, and it's not enough to be trusted." It's really nonsense, the bamboo tube and the Yaoqin are completely different, how can they be mixed and played?"

Shunzhi said: "That's the case, I don't understand it, we are not as good as you." Finally, after listening to the song patiently, the young brother went back and forth with a broken bowl, begging for rewards, and there were mostly penny copper coins in the bowl. I had already made a plan, and as soon as I made a move, I was rewarded with a few ingots of silver. The two of them were probably used to being left out in the cold, and they had never seen the audience so magnanimous, so grateful that they almost knelt down and kowtowed to thank them. It didn't take long for me to be happy, and I directly picked out that this was mainly used to buy the piano, and the excess was used as a reward.

The eldest brother's face suddenly turned cold, and he was embarrassed to return the silver, the younger brother had never seen a huge amount since he was a child, and he felt reluctant. I don't want to think about it, how can a pie with the best of both worlds fall from the sky, and it happens to fall on my head? After a while, I shouted again, saying that this is my own eating guy, how can it be so easy? I thought to myself, it is really a tyrannical thing to use Yaoqin Meiyu as a trick to support the family, and this piano cannot fall into the hands of the two of them. Let's just say that whatever they offer, I can afford it.

The eldest brother said that this piano was handed down by the ancestors, a priceless treasure, and no amount of money could betray the ancestors. It was really a disaster from the mouth, and the onlookers heard the two of them talk nonsense, but they didn't buy it, but they even got more energetic, and proposed to invite the shopkeeper of the treasure pavilion to see if this qin is really that valuable, don't bully them for not knowing how to do it. The two sides were at a stalemate, and a few grumpy ones had already stepped forward to pull, and some young people were raising prices on the side, and then ......"

Suddenly stopped talking, and said in his heart: "The scene was in a mess, and then Xuanshuang rushed to the front, I don't know what to say, and poked two fingers at the young brother, and he fell down softly." When the eldest brother saw that something was going on, he left the piano and dragged his younger brother to flee for his life, and the onlookers also dispersed in a hurry, so we took the opportunity to carry the piano away. This method is really not very glorious, it seems to be robbed by force, how can there be sincerity in giving gifts, Yun'er must not like it. ”

Changing the subject, he said: "I used to listen to court musicians playing, and I didn't feel anything, but today I listened to that song of the lower riba people, and I realized that there is such a significant difference in piano skills. ”

Wang Yuele of Anjun said with a smile: "The emperor's words are extremely true, there is no separation between qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and what the skills are, in the eyes of those who know how to do it, they can be judged by the superior and the inferior." Thinking that the Ying noble people painted a portrait of the Queen Mother, and the Niangniang was so angry that she left the table on the spot, we didn't dare to say it, and we also looked down on that painting in our hearts, and the painting of the later Yun Guifei Niangniang was very different, not the same day!"

Ji Du said with a smile: "It's still Yun Guifei Niangniang's versatile, but her identity is limited, she can't be a painter or musician, otherwise she will definitely be the chief." Shunzhi said: "Painting and music are originally calligraphy. If you are forced to make a living, it will be rough and stiff, and there is no beauty at all, but it is better to play it in your spare time. Everyone said: "What the emperor instructed." ”

Shunzhi said: "By the way, I said Yun'er, I haven't heard you play the piano for a long time, I really think about it." Then it's better to be here, you play and listen, one is to practice, and the other is to let everyone feast their ears, what do you think?" Shen Shiyun smiled: "The concubine thinks that her piano skills are clumsy, and she is appreciated by the emperor, so she is ashamed to be a ......" E Shuo smiled: "Yun Guifei Niangniang's piano skills are unparalleled, and the music is like an aftersound, which lasts for three days, and even a song has poured over the saint." If I am an ordinary man, I can hear the elegant music of my mother, and I have no regrets in this life. ”

Shen Shiyun listened to his exaggerated words, thinking that he was usually used to slapping sycophants, so he smiled lightly with disdain, and said: "It's rare for you to lift, and I might as well be respectful." But if you want to disturb the people late at night, you need to be simple when you are traveling. I don't have to sing songs when I watch them, I just play some little tunes to help out the fun. After speaking, he gently plucked the strings, and a few Qingyue notes floated out, and everyone seemed to be in a fantasy realm, exhausted.

Shen Shiyun was also secretly surprised, when the strings were not touched, they felt that they were extremely flexible, and when they really played, it seemed that they were stirring up a pool of spring water, just like bathing, moisturizing the whole body. Unlike the strings that used to be tight, they often make their fingers dull and leave a deep imprint, and although the strings are soft, they do not damage the sound at all. At the same time, there is a sense of unity between people and pianos, as if the player's thoughts can be released according to the tune, and the hearts of others can also be seen at a glance, which is so wonderful that only the performer can deeply understand.

Everyone listened to it as if they were fascinated, this song was really like spring and white snow, heroic and sky-high, and like a high-quality spice, the sound was floating for ten miles, Xuan Shuang and Cheng Jiaxuan were already playing and running far away, and when they heard this good news, they were all busy turning back to listen. There was silence except for the sound of the piano, and it seemed that the natural creatures were also fascinated by the music, and listened to all the noise. Outside, there were many guests eavesdropping on the crack of the door, and at the end of the song, everyone still felt that they were still unsatisfied.
