Ji Mo, who left home, was not as miserable as he imagined, nor was he as happy as he imagined. The deal he negotiated with the caravan was that the caravan introduced him to a family and asked him to sign a contract of living to make violins there. , If this part of the money is too much, more will be given to the caravan, if it is less, it will be given less, it all depends on their connections and how well they can be introduced.

This choice to a certain extent ensures that Ji Mo will not lack raw materials in the future. The disadvantage is that he becomes a violin maker supported by other people. However, this is not a disadvantage to Ji Mo. , now he doesn't even have to worry about business, and he doesn't need his family to worry about food and housing. He just needs to make the piano every day, and the other side will provide as many raw materials as he wants, and how good the raw materials are. Isn't that good?

In order to get a high price, the caravan did their best and introduced him to the mansion of an idle prince in the middle of Beijing. This prince has no other hobbies, but is obsessed with musical instruments. An excellent piece of music, the daily choreography and music are very carefree.

The emperor wished there were more princes like this. For this reason, the royal dance troupe of the Jiaofang gave several rewards, and there were also various people who could be called "teachers" in dance and music. Also raised in the palace.

In addition, the prince himself ordered the housekeeper to recruit various people, such as embroiderers who make dance clothes, musicians who make musical instruments, and craftsmen who create stage effects... With such momentum, his palace also keeps singing and dancing every day, becoming The most attractive place in Beijing.

And the [-]-acre Peach Blossom Garden outside the city has become the residence of these people. As long as they can prove that their skills are real and not just fake, they can get their own room in the Zhuangzi near the Peach Blossom Garden. There is also a unified production room outside. If you can prove your superb skills, you can also get your own courtyard.

For example, those "teacher" level figures not only have their own courtyards, but also have servants who serve them alone, and their lives are not inferior to ordinary people, and even surpass those of some wealthy families.

Because the prince loves these people and treats them generously, the standard of the contract is definitely the highest, and it is not in vain that the caravan traveled thousands of miles to send Ji Mo here.

The butler was considerate and thought that Ji Mo came here only after hearing about the prince’s reputation, and praised him for his good vision. The house assigned to him was the yard where the violin makers gathered. It is convenient for them to communicate, although most people are unwilling to share their unique skills with others, but they are not part of the unique skills, and they are also willing to preach and preach, and they are the best among their peers.

In the first year of Ji Mo's stay, he handed in a yin-yang qin. With the emptiness of the tung tree combined with the reality of the catalpa, he took the lead in introducing the concept of yin-yang emptiness and reality into the wood. The sound escapes, and the width of the sound wave transmission is enhanced due to the void of the wood, which sounds more recognizable.

With this yin and yang qin, Ji Mo won the praise of the prince, and there are some rewards passed down from above, but what the prince values ​​most is playing music and dancing. The eggs are delicious, and you don’t have to see if the chicken is good, and you won’t go there. Asked what kind of cook the egg is, Ji Mo got the compliment from the steward, and what was upgraded at the same time was the supporting benefits.

Ji Mo, who had changed another yard in just one year, was really inspired, and he was even more surprised when he found out that the yard next door was Cao Mu.

"Master!"

There was surprise in his voice. After more than ten years, Cao Mu is still easy to recognize. It is himself. When he grows up, his appearance is naturally different from when he was a child. The other party looked at him and hesitated before recognizing him: "Saburo!"

Teacher and apprentice meet each other and say goodbye to each other. Cao Mu has had a rough life these years. From south to north, he has traveled to many places and seen many scenery. When he has no money, he stops to make pianos and sell money. Okay, so that after more than ten years of vicissitudes, he looked a little more dusty, but his eyes widened, and there was a little more openness in his eyes, which was different from the original gloomy.

Cao Mu didn't marry a wife and had children. He didn't like this kind of worldly reproduction. The main reason was that he was arrogant and arrogant. Girls who liked him didn't like him, and he didn't like those girls who obviously didn't like him. The woman I wanted to pretend to like was actually single until now.

He came here two years ago, the prince only became a prince three years ago, and the throne in Beijing has been settled, he can be regarded as a prince who has truly indulged, and he has a reputation for liking musical instruments before, but due to the strictness of the first emperor, he is not at all Don't dare to go too far, now that my brother has changed to be the emperor, and the control is not strict, so I have become more indulgent, and my reputation for loving singing and dancing has spread far and wide in the past two years.

If Ji Mo didn't come over in a hurry, and waited for a while, maybe he would hear the prince's reputation there.

The speed of information dissemination in ancient times is still a bit slow. Relatively speaking, caravans are the most well-informed.

"I didn't expect to meet Master here. If I knew that Master was here, I should have come here to ask for advice."

Ji Mo talked about what he had done over the years, including the most valuable yin-yang qin that he had researched with the Qin master. Just like ordinary trust, and this kind of sincerity shortens the distance created by time. In a blink of an eye, it looks like it was before leaving. Cao Mu looked at the young face, and the more he looked, the more he felt familiar, as if he saw him. Traces of the face of childhood.

"I also said which master made the yin-yang qin, but I didn't expect it to be you. This is really the best." Cao Mu was originally jealous, but seeing that this person was taught by himself, It feels different again. It sounds like the Yin Yang Qin is not difficult. At best, the idea is novel, and the method is not very different. With a little adjustment, he can make it, and he can make it even better.

Cao Mu is the kind of person who is truly talented, and he is extremely confident in his talent. In the eyes of others, his state is like brazenness. Many people will look down on him first because of his hunchbacked appearance, but Ji Mo is different. , he has a system to spoil to a certain extent, and he believes in Cao Mu's ability, so he agrees without any haze on his face.

He also actively signed up: "I will help Master!"

After obtaining Cao Mu's consent, Ji Mo went to the housekeeper to apply for support for improving musical instruments, and explained that the plan would take a long time.

Already have physical evidence to prove their strength, but the housekeeper did not suspect that they were deceiving or something. It sounds like they are trying to get the prince a better piano, and they are also interested. If it is really possible, it is not a credit. Will it make the prince angry? There are so many violin makers in the huge palace, how can we see that one or two people are less violin makers?

What's more, there are only so many musicians in the mansion now, and the prince can't play many zithers with one hand, many of them still have to be used as decorations.

The housekeeper first agreed in his heart, but he was worried, and planned to arrange several violin makers to follow the research. The reason is that there are many people and strength, but it is actually mixed with sand, so that they can supervise each other, and they don't mean to spend money for nothing.

Ji Moquan didn't think too much about it, Cao Mu knew it, but he didn't care, his benefits were already at the "teacher" level, at the top, it seems that the prince will not fall, he can eat and die for a lifetime, but since Ji Moquan Mo said that his blood was moved, and he really wanted to make a name for the ages. He has everything now, isn't what he lacks is a little reputation?

The workshop was placed in a large open room, and a group of craftsmen began to conduct experiments according to the experiments assigned by Ji Mo, because it was Ji Mo who first mentioned it to the housekeeper, and he was very experienced. This young man suspected that he had a background, but no one doubted it, and honestly followed his arrangement.

There is no shortage of raw materials, no need to worry about board and lodging, and immerse yourself in the research of how to make a better piano, three strings, five strings, seven strings... 32 strings, the range is corrected by a little standard, and the multi-tone coordination between Harmony makes people find the complex and changeable beauty.

In addition, there are many more styles of the qin. Exquisite carvings are used to make one or two improvements in the shape of the qin. There are a lot more painting patterns, and there are some nice names that I have racked my brains to come up with. After ten years, the five pianos sent up intermittently have been praised by the prince.

The prince who was inspired thought more, he even further changed the style of the piano, and assigned tasks to the craftsmen to add more tones. What needs to be changed is the structure of the groove belly, so he got a composite groove The qin with the belly has more varied sounds, but it takes more effort to play it better, and it is not so easy to learn.

[Main task: luthier. 】

[Current task: professional knowledge learning - (100/100)]

[The first stage of study is over, do you accept the test? 】

"no."

Unknowingly, Ji Mo, who was immersed in the joy of violin making, suddenly came to his senses, only to realize that the knowledge points are full, and he finished learning so quickly?

He still has an unfinished violin embryo in his hand. According to his plan, there are still some experiments that can continue, but are those already unnecessary?Or is it that doing those things will not add more knowledge points to him, and drawing inferences on the basis of the original knowledge points, is it not learning new knowledge points?

He hadn't encountered such a problem before. When he encountered it for the first time, he was a little confused. He thought he knew the system tasks well, but now it seems that there are still some deficiencies.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, Cao Mu asked from the side, they are all making pianos together on a big table now, and whoever's hand movement pauses for a long time can be seen at a glance.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly had an idea, I want to try it, let's make this piano first." Ji Mo smiled at Cao Mu, expressing that nothing happened, and then continued to work on it, thinking that he would wait for the piano to be completed Think about the system again.
