Guqin becomes a beauty

Cai Yong is obsessed with making pianos, and sits under the tree in the courtyard every day. Occasionally, Lvyu would squat over and watch for a while out of curiosity, and Cai Yong would patiently answer her questions.

The elderly couple will look at each other cheerfully when they see it.

Ling Xingwei would sometimes take Rong Zun out to hunt or enjoy the scenery, and when he came back, it was Ling Xingwei who cooked, and the old lady and Lvyu would at best be helpers.

After a few days, the appetites of the few people were all spoiled. Sometimes the two of them didn't come back at noon. Cai Yong ate delicious farm food, but he didn't feel like eating.

Apart from being taken out to play, Rong Zun just sat and waited for dinner.When I have nothing to do, I watch Cai Yong make the piano, and I will make a point or two out loud.

Although he didn't say much, Cai Yong was keenly aware that this person was a real guqin master after going back and forth.His attitude towards Rong Zun immediately changed 120 degrees. He no longer regarded him as a well-clothed and rich man, but asked for advice humbly, respectful like a student facing a teacher.

But Luyu couldn't understand it. In his opinion, apart from being good-looking, Rong Zun was just a young man who couldn't take care of himself. Those casual words seemed like jokes, how could they be taken seriously?Only Mr. Yuan is so serious about everything...

She looked at Cai Yong's concentrated appearance, her eyes were full of admiration and admiration.

Cai Yong hardly slept, and ten days later, a guqin was finally made.

The carving is exquisite, the lines are smooth, and the body of the piano is very beautiful.

Cai Yong couldn't wait, he held the qin in front of Rong Zun with both hands respectfully, and said to him expectantly, "Master Rong, please try the qin."

Rong Zun was also not polite, he stretched out his hand to take it, placed it by his leg, plucked it lightly, and the green and clear piano sound rang out, as if it had been washed by the clear spring of the mountain stream, refreshing.

He played a few notes casually, and the strings made a cheerful sound, as if Jiao Wei was happy.Rong Zun also smiled, and said, "Good piano."

Cai Yong was very happy to hear this peerless piano sound, and wanted to name it.But this time the Qin was not burnt, so naturally it would not be called Jiaowei.Cai Yong looked at the little girl next to him, smiled and said, "Then it will be called Luyu." Luyu's face turned redder, and she shyly ran back into the house under the smiling eyes of her parents.

Rong Zun looked at Jiao Wei, thinking that not only did he look better this time, but he even had the same name as the person he liked, so it must have gotten what he wanted.

After the Lvyuqin was made, Cai Yong couldn't put it down, and he accepted Lvyu's request and taught her to play the piano.

One day, when Rong Zun heard him playing a piece, he was very excited and walked over and asked, "What piece is this?"

Cai Yong didn't seem to expect that he would not know this piece of music, he was taken aback for a moment, and replied: "Mr. Rong, this is "Guangling San", also known as "Nie Zheng's Assassination of the King of Han". It was composed in memory of the knight Nie Zheng .”

"Nie Zheng...assassinated Han Wangqu?" Rong Zun was a little lost, and said word by word.

Seeing that he was not familiar with these things, Cai Yong said, "Wait a minute." He went back to the room and brought a stack of bamboo slips.

"This is a piece of "Qin Cao" that I am compiling. It records the origin of "Nie Zheng's Assassination of the King of Han". If Mr. Rong is interested, please tell me a thing or two."

Rong Zun took it over, found the volume Cai Yong was talking about, and sat under a tree to read it.

During the Warring States Period, the Nie family was famous for making swords. Nie Zheng's father was ordered to make swords for Marquis Han Ai, but he failed to finish within the time limit and was killed by Marquis Han.At that time, Mrs. Nie was pregnant and fled South Korea with her daughter in a hurry. After Nie Zheng grew up, she told the truth about his father's death.Nie Zheng then vowed to avenge his father and assassinate King Han.

It is recorded that the young Nie Zheng once learned the qin from an immortal, and returned to Korea after he became a master. His qin sound attracted the Marquis of Han to call him into the palace.Nie Zheng hid the sharp blade in the qin. After entering the palace, when Hanhou and the guards around him were fascinated by the sound, he drew out the short sword inside the qin and stabbed Hanhou to death on the spot.And Nie Zheng also gouged out his own eyes, scratched his face, and committed seppuku in the end, in order not to let people recognize him and implicate his mother and sister.

Later, when he was dragging his body out of the palace to parade the public, his elder sister couldn't bear his younger brother's name, and shouted Nie Zheng's name in grief, so that the world knew the name of this knight.

……

Seeing this, Rong Zun didn't show any expression on his face. After a long time, he chuckled, "So he succeeded..."

"What's the success?" Cai Yong was pointing to the fingering of Green Jade, but he didn't hear clearly and asked back.

"It's okay." Rong Zun raised his head, a little curious, "How do you know that he learned his piano skills from immortals?"

"Hey, aren't these all legends? Why does Mr. Rong take it seriously?" Cai Yong said with a smile, "People like to deify the stories of people with excellent piano skills, as if this is more real."

Rong Zun bent his lips and shook his head.

He said: "Young Master Yuan, can I borrow your masterpiece to read carefully for one night?"

"Of course, Mr. Rong, please let me know."

After returning from bathing in the evening, Rong Zun wanted to read two more pages, but found that the bamboo slips on the table had disappeared. When he arrived in the back room, he saw Ling Xingwei leaning on the bed to read it.

Rong Zun approached and saw that he was looking at the page of "Nie Zheng's Assassination of the King of Han".

"You read this too?" He thought it was a coincidence, raised his interest, and said to him, "Do you know? This Nie Zheng is also my apprentice, the second apprentice."

Ling Xingwei suddenly closed the bamboo slips with a "pop".

Rong Zun looked at his unkind expression, paused for a while, and then replied coldly, "Oh." Seeing his handsome eyebrows raised again, with a hint of sneer at the corner of his mouth, "You have so many apprentices, this is the second one, what about the third and fourth?"

"No more." Rong Zun said sullenly, "It's just these two, my heart is a little small, and I don't have a good relationship with them, and I will leave in the end..." He stopped talking here, and saw Ling Xingwei looked at himself with a half-smile, and sighed heavily, "You don't understand."

"Oh, I don't understand, I'm asleep."

Ling Xing didn't throw the bamboo slips on him, turned around, and lay down on the bed with his back turned.

Rong Zun made a "tsk", carefully picked up the bamboo slips, and muttered: "I don't know how to cherish other people's things." Then imitating Ling Xingwei's posture just now, he also leaned against the head of the bed. He heard the cold order from the person beside him, "Turn off the lights."

Rong Zun turned his head.The bed was big, and the candlelight didn't affect him too much.

"It's all turned off on your side, I'll sleep after watching it..."

"Too loud!"

It was inevitable that there would be sounds when the bamboo slips were flipped, Rong Zun held back, and wanted to say that he would pay attention, but seeing the man's somewhat lonely and broad back, he closed it and put it aside, turned off the lights, and lay down.

When there was no more sound in the darkness, Rong Zun thought he was asleep, and the low magnetic voice sounded slowly again, "Nie Zhengtai is now in Yuzhou, and it is planned to be included in the provincial key cultural relics next year. Repair and maintenance, well built, don't worry."

Rong Zun leaned over, moved closer to him, and said softly, "Did you build it? Did you help him build it?"

Ling Xingwei refused to turn around, reached out to touch the quilt, pulled it to the top of his head, and covered it.

Rong Zun refused to let him go, and stretched out his hand to pull his quilt, but was pushed from the inside out, "Annoying!"

"Hey, you haven't slept yet, can't you just talk?"

The person in the quilt was motionless, Rong Zun had no choice but to poke him with his fingers, "Thank you, Minister Ling."

"Thank you." The quilt buzzed back.

Rong Zun smiled, stopped teasing him, turned around and lay down to sleep.

With his face covered, Ling Xingwei did not fall asleep. He listened to the quiet and light breathing of the people around him, and felt his heart gradually settle down.

Although this person is capricious and heartless, it is true that I want to thank him.

Thank you for being able to come back to me well.

He can do anything to build a platform for Nie Zheng, rebuild Fuxi and Nuwa temples—but he can't imagine what he will do if one day the "Rongzun Temple" also appears.

As long as the man was alive and beside him, anything was fine.

I can survive no matter what.

***

Nearly a month passed quickly, and Cai Yong couldn't let go of the changing political situation outside and could not stay in the mountains all the time, so he finally asked the old man to say goodbye.

The old man had expected it a long time ago, sighed, and said: "The old man knows that the young masters will not live in such a small place, and he dare not keep them. How about it, my daughter Luyu is still young, and she is pretty. If you don’t mind the young master, I will betroth her to you and let her go outside with you.”

Cai Yong was startled, he didn't expect the old man to have such an idea, so he quickly declined, "Thanks to the great love of the old man, I dare not delay Miss Luyu! Now I live in no fixed place, and there is no time to go here, how dare I let the girl follow her?" I suffer?"

The old man waved his hand and said: "Husband and wife should share weal and woe. Mr. Yuan is very knowledgeable, and sooner or later he will achieve something. Luyu is not the kind of child who can't bear hardships. You don't have to worry about this."

Cai Yong couldn't shirk it, and turned his eyes to Rong Zun and Ling Xingwei for help.

But the two of them didn't seem to notice, they were playing chess leisurely on the sidelines.

When Cai Yong raised his head, he saw Luyu quietly opened the crack of the door at some point, and looked at him with autumn dew in his eyes, shy and expectant.

He knew in his heart that he couldn't delay any longer, and he had to make things clear.Gritting his teeth, he solemnly bowed to the old man, and said in a deep voice: "Now that things have come to an end, I have no choice but to apologise. The fact that I concealed my identity is because I am being tracked by the court and I don't want to drag you down. I'm Cai Yongcai Bo Jie, who held the position of Yi Lang in the court, was expelled due to political disagreements, and is planning to go back to his hometown for refuge... I really appreciate the kindness of the old man and his wife for taking care of me, and I know that Miss Luyu is a rare good match, but... ..." He bowed deeply, and said cruelly, "Forgive me for being rude, I really can't accept your kindness."

The old man was also surprised by his identity.He never thought that this person is still an official...

"Old man, this is the silver tael for lodging and eating these days, and the green jade qin, which is also left to the green jade girl. I got to know each other once, I hope you can cherish it in the future, and we will meet again by fate."

After Cai Yong finished speaking, he came over to bid farewell to Rong Zun and Ling Xingwei.

"Woo..." The door of the room was suddenly pushed open. Luyu hugged the piano, looked at Cai Yong resentfully, and said decisively, "Young Master Yuan, Luyu is willing to go with you, and she is not afraid of hardship. If you accept If you leave me, I will never leave you, if you don't want to... I, I will throw this piano!"

No one expected her to come out like this, Rong Zun opened his eyes wide, a little shocked.

Cai Yong struggled and said: "You, why are you doing this?" He sighed, "Young girl is young and beautiful, she will find a more suitable person, so you don't need to worry about me."

Luyu stared at him, seeing that he had made up his mind, the circles of his eyes became redder, as if he had gritted his teeth and made up his mind, and suddenly ran towards the kitchen with Qin in his arms.

Everyone was startled by her, and when they chased after her, they saw her throwing Qin into the burning stove.

"You don't want me, and I don't want this piano! What kind of green jade, it doesn't deserve to be called my name!"
