From wilderness to palace

Chapter 137 Ancient Musical Instruments: Some Understanding!

Just like the 'six degrees of relationship theory' circulating on the Internet, you can get to know any stranger through six people.And Liu Yaozu didn't expect that among his few friends, they all knew the classical beauty in front of him.

Although he doesn't yearn for the so-called love, he believes in staying together day and night.But for such a chance encounter today, he really felt a little surprised.He actually knows something about what girls are good at.

Among the combined skills of the "Gentlemen's Six Joys" opened through the system, the "Six Joys" has also been modified to a certain extent.Even if this skill is only at the elementary level for the time being, Liu Yaozu's knowledge of ancient music should be enough to have a common topic with Qin Zixuan.

As a graduate student studying classical music, Qin Zixuan does not reject modern pop music or even rock music.It's just that she is more in love with the charm of classical music, and is willing to spend time and effort in studying it, hoping to learn more about ancient music.

In the music school she attended, not many students were really willing to learn classical music.Many things that were handed down by ancient musicians, in this day and age, many essences of ancient music have been lost.And she wants to restore these ancient music.

The "Chunjiang Huayueye" she played before is also a classic guzheng song restored by later generations of guzheng masters.What she didn't know was that Liu Yaozu also knew this piece of music in his head, and it was different from what she played.

What's more, the Guzheng scores that Liu Yaozu knew were all classic pieces that were widely circulated in ancient times.If Qin Zixuan knew, she would probably find it unbelievable.But in fact, Liu Yaozu only knows the music but can't play it.

Taking this opportunity, Liu Yaozu also said directly: "Miss Qin, may I ask, do you know that there is a store specializing in classical musical instruments in the imperial capital? I want to buy some musical instruments, but I can't seem to find them online."

As soon as Qin Zixuan said this, she felt a little surprised, but Li Xingcheng, who was standing by and became a spectator, smiled secretly: "I really can't see that Azu has a way. Take this opportunity to get close to this girl. But she, it seems Really eat this set!"

Of course, Li Xingcheng knows the character of this beloved jewel in his friend's house.In his circle of friends alone, there are a lot of young talents who want to pursue her.The problem is, these young talents seem to find no common language with her.

These days, even professional music colleges can't find many students who study classical music, let alone people in ordinary circles?

Although she also suspected that Liu Yaozu might take the opportunity to get close to her, Qin Zixuan still asked: "There are not many music shops in the imperial capital that exclusively sell classical musical instruments. I wonder what musical instruments you want to buy?"

"For the time being, I want to buy a Tao Xun and a hole flute first, and if there are any, I plan to buy another seven-stringed guqin!"

As Liu Yaozu mentioned these three ancient musical instruments, Qin Zixuan was full of doubts and asked, "Do you know how to use these musical instruments?"

From Qin Zixuan's expression, Liu Yaozu, who could see some clues, didn't explain too much, just smiled and said: "I understand! You must know that I spend a lot of time in the mountains and have a lot of free time.

I also have a certain foundation and understanding of these instruments.In your spare time, it is also a good choice to use them to pass the time and cultivate your sentiment.In fact, I also have a certain understanding of ancient music and singing and dancing.

Although it is not as professional as yours, I believe that the ancients made these musical instruments more for entertainment.Since the ancients could do this, why can't we future generations follow the example of the ancients? "

As the saying goes, if it’s okay, you’ll know if you pull it out for a while.For Qin Zixuan, she was really surprised to hear the three ancient musical instruments that Liu Yaozu wanted to buy.But listening to what he said, it seemed that he really understood these ancient musical instruments.

In order to verify whether Liu Yaozu was bragging, Qin Zixuan also said directly: "The three musical instruments you want may not be available in ordinary music shops. If you don't mind the price, I know a century-old ancient musical instrument store."

Listening to what Qin Zixuan said, before Liu Yaozu answered, Li Xingcheng smiled and said: "Zixuan, you don't really think that this kid is a video blogger, do you? In fact, he has more assets than me. The master who is really not short of money."

Following Li Xingcheng's words, Qin Zixuan didn't say anything more.After giving an address, she drove her private car, brought Li Xingcheng who was going to join in the fun, and accompanying bodyguards, and soon came to a quaint alley.

On the way here, Li Xingcheng revealed to Liu Yaozu that the musical instrument store he was going to next had something to do with the Qin family.As for the family background of the Qin family, he didn't reveal too much, he only told Liu Yaozu that the Qin family was not simple.

For Li Xingcheng to say such things, it shows that the Qin family is either rich or noble.Perhaps it was because of this that there were so many young talents in the imperial capital who wanted to be good sons-in-law of the Qin family.Even on Qin Zixuan, she didn't dare to play the crooked ways that some people are good at.

After getting out of the car and following behind Qin Zixuan, Liu Yaozu and Li Xingcheng quickly walked into a courtyard house.This kind of courtyard house is rare in the imperial capital nowadays.The residences in this area are basically courtyard buildings.

From the wall of the alley street, you can also see the sign of "protected building" hanging.This also means that how can the identity of the boss who can open a store in such a place be simple?

In other words, if there were no acquaintances to guide him, Liu Yaozu might not have known that the owner of this courtyard house was a master who was good at making ancient musical instruments when he came to the door.The musical instruments made by the other party are basically custom-made.

After Qin Zixuan's introduction, the owner of the courtyard looked at Liu Yaozu and said in surprise: "Young man, do you really know how to play ancient musical instruments?"

“I can’t say I understand it, I just have a little understanding of it, and I like it personally. I happen to have some free time, so I want to buy some instruments and study them.”

The word "understand" seems simple, but Liu Yaozu really dare not say such a thing on an ancient musical instrument.Even Qin Zixuan, who specializes in classical music, might not dare to say that she understands all ancient musical instruments, right?

What surprised Liu Yaozu was that this old man, who was honored by Li Xingcheng as 'Master He', also said very directly: "I really have the three musical instruments you want to buy, and they are all high-quality goods. But when I sell things, there is one rule!"

"Also ask the master to enlighten me!"

"Some of these ancient musical instruments were made by myself, and some were bought and collected at a high price. For me, they are all my treasures. I also hope that they can find an owner who really understands them, what I mean ,do you understand?"

The words seemed to be euphemistic, but Liu Yaozu could still understand the meaning, and then said with a smile: "Master, what you mean is that if you want to buy your musical instruments, the first thing you need to do is to see if I have the ability to control them, right?"

"You can understand it this way! Although I know you are not short of money, I am not short of money either!"

It has to be said that the temper of this so-called master is indeed a bit weird.But Li Xingcheng and Qin Zixuan didn't seem to be surprised by the old man's temper.As the saying goes, talented people are more self-willed!

"Okay! Then, can you let me see the instrument first?"

"Row!"

The old man was also very straightforward, directly leading Liu Yaozu into his collection room.Looking at the dazzling variety of ancient musical instruments, Liu Yaozu also felt a little surprised.Nowadays, there are still people who love ancient musical instruments so much, really not many!
Under the gaze of everyone, Liu Yaozu did not hesitate too much. He went directly to the shelf where several pottery xuns were placed, picked out a goose egg-shaped xun, put it in his hand and observed it carefully, and then said: " Master He, can I try this xun?"

"of course can!"

If there are not many people learning guzheng at present, then people learning ancient musical instruments such as Tao Xun are even rarer.But the information Liu Yaozu received from the system, the earth in another time and space, seems to have done a better job in restoring and innovating ancient music.

Although right now, he only has more theoretical knowledge.However, the knowledge of ancient music instilled in the system allowed him to quickly become familiar with playing this Tao Xun.At the beginning of the audition, both Master He and Qin Zixuan frowned.

If it weren't for the fact that Liu Yaozu's fingering was still placed correctly, they would have suspected that Liu Yaozu was here to make trouble on purpose.Even Li Xingcheng, who came to watch the fun, felt sorry for Liu Yaozu, for fear that he would mess up his chance to perform this time.

If Qin Zixuan really misunderstood him and felt that he was just a flirtatious person, there was no possibility of the two of them continuing to contact each other.Although Liu Yaozu did not show this tendency, Li Xingcheng felt that he should have this kind of thinking.

Familiar with the sound of Tao Xun, Liu Yaozu took a deep breath and started playing.This Tao Xun piece from 'City in the Sky' was also one of the pieces that the system instilled in him.When he first listened to it, he fell in love with this piece of pure music.

As Tao Xun began to make orderly sounds, the expressions of Master He and Qin Zixuan, who were watching and listening, gradually changed.Compared with Li Xingcheng who was full of surprise and joy, the two listeners who love ancient music became more shocked the more they listened.

At the beginning, Liu Yaozu's breath was a little unstable when he played, but as he devoted himself to the performance, Qin Zixuan suddenly felt that she might have really misunderstood the boy in front of her.He may really understand ancient musical instruments, and it is not the so-called "little understanding".

What really surprised her and Master He was this Tao Xun song, which they had never heard before.This also means that the piece that Liu Yaozu is playing at the moment is either an original piece or an ancient Xun piece that they don't know.

If it is the former, then Liu Yaozu's talent is self-evident.If it is the latter, it will also be a major discovery for the small number of pottery xun enthusiasts or researchers today.Because this Tao Xun song is really beautiful!

After playing a song, Liu Yaozu expressed regret: "It seems that I still need to continue to practice. I am not very proficient in playing this piece. However, the sound quality of this Tao Xun is good. I wonder if Master He can cut it off? "

Hearing this, Master He was surprised and said, "Is this your first time playing Tao Xun? Also, what is this song?"

It is not difficult to see from his excited expression that the "Castle in the Sky" played by Liu Yaozu earlier also moved him.This also means that Liu Yaozu has become one of the 'friends' who are eligible to purchase his collection!
