Chapter 429 Guqin Luqi

The left side of the room is separated by a screen, but a harp and a lute are still faintly visible. The piano only shows a headstock, but it can still be seen that the color is dark and old, which does not match the exquisite and rich style of the whole house. However, it raised the style of the whole room by a few notches, just like turning an explosive household into a nobleman.

attracted "Qiao Xuan" to come over, walk into the screen, and go to find out.

Qiao Xuan came inside and saw that the lower left side of the piano was a beautiful Sydney wood desk, and the desk was leaning against the window. The ancient wooden furniture is the most precious, and the eyes of "Qiao Xuan" can't help but stay for a while, the desk has no exaggerated dragon and phoenix, only good-looking but incomprehensible patterns.

There is a large window on the left side of the desk, and a vase is placed on the table next to the window, and it is spring, and a rose is inserted, which makes it more and more secular and independent. The vase is made of blue and white porcelain, and some of the tableware with old-fashioned blue patterns at home is different in that this blue also has an ink color.

Walking out of the screen, to the right of the dresser are several large cabinets, tightly closed, I don't know what is hidden.

Qiao Xuan took a closer look at the furnishings and layout of Yao Mengmeng's boudoir, and couldn't help but admire in his heart, the woman who can arrange the boudoir so elegantly and out of the world must be a beautiful woman with extremely high talent.

"Sister Mengmeng, you are really amazing," Qiao Xuan praised from the bottom of his heart, this is not hypocrisy, since his son was reborn, there are not a few women who have entered the boudoir, and there is no one who can have Yao Mengmeng's boudoir so elegant.

"Hehe, Sister Xiaocui smiled. It's just my usual boring pastime. Yao Mengmeng was praised by Qiao Xuan, although there was some joy in his heart, his face did not change much, just said lightly.

"My sister really tormented my little sister when she said this, with your cultivation, sister, your talent is enough to dominate the world," Qiao Xuan was suddenly attracted by the quaint piano next to the Sydney wooden table by the window. He went to the table where the piano was placed, and gently stroked the ancient strings.

This guqin has a beautiful shape, the lacquer has broken lines, it is a sign of the age of the guqin, indicating that the qin has a very long history. Although Qiao Xuan didn't know what the name of this piano was and what its origin was, he also knew that this piano was extraordinary.

"Sister Xiaocui, do you also have an all-night rhythm?" Yao Meng dreamed that Qiao Xuan was pondering in front of the guqin for a long time, as if in a state of appreciation, and asked with some curiosity.

"Huh. My sister laughed, how can Xiaocui know what kind of rhythm, I just think that this guqin, the shape is so beautiful, I think it must have a long history, maybe there will be any moving stories I can't say. Curious, I stopped to watch. Qiao Xuan turned his head and smiled at Yao Mengmeng, stroked the piano and said.

"Hey, my sister is really good eyesight. This guqin was a gift from my father in the secular world many years ago. Yao Mengmeng slowly walked up to Qiao Xuan and looked at the guqin. seemed to be in deep thought, and said slowly: "This piano is called "Luqi", and according to legend, it is a piano played by Sima Xiangru, a famous literati in ancient times in the secular world.

Sima Xiangru originally came from a poor family with four walls. But his poetry is extremely famous. King Liang asked him to make a gift, and he wrote a "jade endowment" as a gift. This is a magnificent rhetoric and an extraordinary charm. King Liang was extremely happy. I gave back my own collection of "Luqi" pianos. "Luqi" is a famous piano, and there is an inscription in the piano that says: "Tongzi Hejing"

That is, the essence of the combination of paulownia wood and zinc wood. It is like getting "green Qi", like getting a treasure. His exquisite piano skills and the wonderful timbre of "Lu Qi" made the "Lu Qi" famous for a while. Later, "Luqi" became another name for the guqin.

Once, Sima Xiangru visited a friend, and the rich and wealthy King Sun set up a banquet to entertain him. When the wine was in full swing, everyone said: "I heard that you play 'Luqi' very well, please play a song, let my generation feast on it." "Xiangru had long heard that Wenjun, the daughter of King Zhuo, was talented and proficient in the piano, and admired him very much.

Sima Xiangru played the piano song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" and courted her. After listening to the piano, Wen Jun understood the meaning of the piano song, and couldn't help blushing and being fascinated. She fell in love with the literary talent, and in order to reward the "bosom friend encounter", she went to the residence of Xiangru at night to conclude a good relationship. Since then, Sima Xiangru pursued Wenjun with the qin, which has been rumored to be a good story for the ages. ”

Yao Mengmeng's voice was melodious and long, and he carefully explained to Qiao Xuan the origin of this guqin, as well as the story behind it, and said that he was emotional, but his face was flushed, and his jade hand stroked the guqin, his eyes were full of envy.

"What a beautiful karma, I can't imagine that the love of worldly people is so touching and fascinating. Qiao Xuan's face was full of obsession, with a yearning look.

"Worldly love, although it seems beautiful, is actually harmful, and once it is trapped, it is often less joyful and more painful. So Sister Xiaocui, it's best not to touch your feelings easily, otherwise you will regret it. Yao Mengmeng seemed to be deeply touched, and persuaded Qiao Xuan.

"Oh, my sister really makes fun of Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui's appearance, what man would like it, don't talk about this, it's very emotional to hear my sister tell the story of this guqin. You know a lot about the guqin, but I don't know if there is a story about the qin, my sister also told my sister to listen, so my posture is also excellent, Xiaocui, I like to listen to love stories the most. Qiao Xuan waved his hand, interrupting Yao Mengmeng's advice, he was a big man, and it was really embarrassing to hear a woman say this, so he pulled Yao Mengmeng to sit on the stool and changed the topic.

"Hehe, my sister is in high spirits today, so I will explain to you the story of the four guqins in the secular mortal world. Yao Mengmeng seems to be very close to Xiaocui, she hasn't been as happy as she is today, and she hasn't said so much for a long time, she seems to have returned to the scene when she was chatting with her sisters in Shangshu Mansion.

Yao Mengmeng's voice was melodious and said slowly: "The most particular thing for secular literati is the so-called "piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting". Among them, the "qin" is one of the oldest plucked instruments in the history of secular people, and is now called the guqin or lyre. Guqin has a long history of making, and many famous qins have written references, and have wonderful names and magical legends. The most famous of these are the "Horn Bell" of Duke Huan of Qi, the "Winding Beam" of King Chuzhuang, the "Green Qi" of Sima Xiangru and the "Jiaowei" of Cai Yong. These four pianos are known as the "Four Famous Pianos". Now, I have acquired the "Green Qi" of these four famous pianos by accident, while the other three famous pianos do not know where they have been, but their stories are widely spread.
