A guitar of about 100 yuan was made by Ben Gongzi, and many of the freshmen in the country gathered around Ben Gongzi to pat wildly, hoping to learn Ben Gongzi's musical skills, so that in the future, he could use this trick to seduce those beautiful cuties.

Seven carpenters, three of whom are masters of exquisite wood carving, the first thing Ben Gongzi did before was to take out the design drawings, and then mark the size, and then hand them over to make it, remember that this thing only needs a carpenter, and it took five days to get it right, and now, Ben Gongzi has concentrated seven craftsmen, I believe that it will be two days at most to get it, and then adjust it according to the situation.

At this time, the ginger water in the wooden basin became warm again, and this son noticed that I don't know when Sister Qingxia walked into the house, picked up the kettle on the coal stove, and was pouring boiling water into the wooden basin.

"How did you get in?" I was a little stunned. Watching her do this quietly and calmly, without even the idea of lifting her feet, could it be said that I was really corrupted by the feudal society?

"The lights in your room have been on, and Qingxia wanted to come over to see what you had to say, only to find that you were in a daze here, and the door was just closed, so Qingxia came in, and it wouldn't disturb Childe, right?" Sister Qingxia turned her head and smiled sweetly.

That sweet smile, under the warm light, looks very eye-catching, like another light in the room.

"No, Xie Lu thank you, it's late at night, go and rest, don't delay." I smiled and thanked me. From the last time, after explaining to Sister Qingxia, I felt that I was much more relaxed when facing her, and she seemed to be very comfortable in front of me, at least, I felt like this from the bottom of my heart

"It's okay, it's not too late anyway, what's the matter, does Childe think Qingxia is here, delaying your rest?" Sister Qingxia put the kettle back on the stove, turned around, looked at me and chuckled.

"It's not true, it's just that I'm afraid it will affect your poor night's sleep." I shook my head,, provoked. Although this son is a righteous gentleman, he is definitely not the poor baby of Yanagi Hui, although this son can also sit still, but when he can be chaotic, he can definitely be chaotic.

"Qingxia is not afraid, now every day as soon as she closes her eyes, it will be the next morning, how can there be a time when she can't sleep well?" Sister Qingxia chuckled and said, her face was full of happiness, which she couldn't see before.

"Well, that's good. By the way, Qingxia, you ...... Well, forget it. "I wanted to ask, but when I think about it, I can afford to save her the unpleasant memories in her heart.

"Isn't there something going on with Childe? If you have anything, let's say it, no matter what it is, it's already in the past, and it has nothing to do with today's Qingxia. Sister Qingxia walked to my side, knelt on the couch, and looked at me with a pair of watery eyes, as clear as a stream, without a trace of waves, as if she was already a wise man who had seen through the world.

"Then I really said it, I just want to ask you, in the past, you were in the Mansion of the Duke of Chu, presumably with the temperament of the Duke of Chu, you must have often feasted guests, right?" I took a deep breath and asked in a whisper.

"Well, at that time, the Duke of Chu had a small banquet on three days and a big banquet on the fifth day, and in the Mansion of the Duke of Chu, there were many guests and hundreds of guests, which was enough to be comparable to the four princes during the Warring States Period." Sister Qingxia nodded and replied without thinking about it.

"Mm-hmm, that must be a regular singing and dancing, right?" Ben Gongzi couldn't help but be overjoyed, it seems, maybe he can really find clues.

"Well, almost every time the Duke of Chu eats, he has to be accompanied by singing and dancing, and he thinks that this is in line with the style of ancient scholars." Sister Qingxia nodded, as if recalling the scene at that time. "My mother was originally a dancing girl in the Duke of Chu's mansion."

After that, Sister Qingxia turned her head to look at me, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned. "Isn't it a childe who also wants to enjoy singing and dancing? Although Qingxia has never performed, she has learned some skills from her mother since she was a child. ”

Hearing this, Ben Gongzi's head almost shook up and down, but fortunately, at the last moment, it was changed from shaking up and down to sideways. "Not for now, in fact, the main thing I want to ask is, there must be a lot of instrumental accompaniment, right?"

"It's natural, if there is no musical accompaniment, how can the dancing girl find rhythm and beat?" Sister Qingxia gave me a blank look and said angrily, could it be that I was angry because I didn't agree to let her perform live?

"Mm-hmm, is there a plucked instrument that is about the same as the lute?" Ben Gongzi didn't care about her emotional changes, and asked directly.

"It's about the same as a lute?" Sister Qingxia couldn't help but narrow her eyes, as if she was recalling the appearance and use of those musical instruments, and after a long time, Sister Qingxia shook her head. "Although Qingxia is afraid that the musical instruments she has seen in the Mansion of Chu are not the same, she has never seen a plucked instrument similar to the pipa

Hearing this, Ben Gongzi couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. "Really, it seems that that thing has really been handed down from later generations."

"What did you say, Childe?"

"Oh, I didn't say anything. What I mean is that if there is such a musical instrument, it will definitely become popular in my Central Plains through the hands of this son. Ben Gongzi hurriedly said, Khan, it seems that he was too disappointed just now, so that he lost his words, fortunately, Ben Gongzi's brain is easy to use, otherwise, I am afraid it is very rare to fool the past.

Sister Qingxia saw my gloomy face, frowned and thought carefully, suddenly her eyes lit up, and she high-fived and said: "Yes, Qingxia once heard an old musician who is good at playing the pipa say that in the Western Regions, there is a musical instrument called the Hittite pipa, which is also played like the pipa, but the speaker of this instrument is much larger than the pipa, and a hole is deliberately dug in the position of the plucking to increase the effect of resonance." ”

"Did I tell him where that thing was?" I remember when I was learning the guitar, the teacher once told us the history of the guitar, and now this son is inspired by Sister Qingxia, and I remember that the teacher who taught us the guitar once told us that the ancestors of the guitar can be traced back to the ancient Egyptian and Phar, ancient Babylon and ancient Persia in two or three thousand years BC.

The oldest modern guitar-like musical instrument found by archaeologists is the Hittite guitar that lived on the ruins of ancient Hittite gates in Asia Minor and northern Syria before 1,400 BC. The figure-eight inward curved body determines the unique sound resonance and instrument characteristics of the guitar, which has become the most significant feature that distinguishes the guitar from other plucked instruments.

It seems that the musical instruments of the ancient Hittite people have been handed down, and their location is in the Arab region, and the exchanges between this region and the Chinese civilization since the Han Dynasty are very frequent, it seems that the old musician can name it, then he has at least heard or seen this instrument. Although it is called the Hittite lute instead of the guitar, it is because the name guitar will not appear for hundreds of years at least

"Childe, don't you let go of your hand first, you hurt me." At this moment, Sister Qingxia suddenly came out with such a sentence that interrupted my imagination and memories, and I realized that I didn't know when I actually grabbed Sister Qingxia's right hand.

"I'm sorry, I'm too anxious, no, I mean I'd love to know if that old musician told you where he saw it?" I let go of my hand with a smirk.

"This Qingxia is not clear, the old musician just mentioned it casually, and at that time, Qingxia just felt that the old musician's technique of playing the pipa was very extraordinary, and asked a special question, only to know that he had learned this instrument from his teacher when he was young, but the big people preferred to listen to the pipa playing, so ......"

"I see, thank you Sister Qingxia, it seems that there should be such a musical instrument in Luoyang City." Ben Gongzi raised his eyebrows, very excited, even if the ancient guitar and the modern guitar are a little different, but as long as he is not much different, Ben Gongzi will definitely be able to master it in a short time

"By the way, Gongzi, if you win, when are you going to marry Li Sanniang?" Sister Qingxia suddenly said this.

"At least three years." I wrenched my fingers, well, Li Yao turned fifteen this year, and according to eighteen, it would take at least three years. "How?"

"Oh, it's nothing, Qingxia just wants to ask clearly, son, you are alone now, and if you have a wife in the future, you naturally can't do it like now, and you have to wash your feet yourself." Sister Qingxia seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and smiled at me.

"What's this, no matter what I did in the past, I did it myself, and I had enough food and clothing, but after you came, I became a lot lazier." I can't help but feel a little emotional, capitalist feudalism society is really very corrosive, at least now I have a tendency to be feudal rich and capitalist.

Hearing me say this, Sister Qingxia couldn't help but chuckle. "Childe, you are a dignified prince, if you do everything yourself, won't it damage your identity?"

"Identity is just for outsiders, not to mention, there are many things, and it will be more rewarding to do it yourself." I don't care much about this, I don't care much about it, whether it's a national prince or not, I'm still me, although I also like to be a little lazy, and I like beautiful girls to hang around in front of me, but some of the things I should do by myself still have to come by myself.

I can't raise myself into a hemiplegic patient, at least, I still have a heavy historical responsibility and obligation. I don't want my son to be lost in the future.
