Chapter 48: Golden Silk Jiaowei Qin, Phoenix Wings and Feather Stage
After Lin Man'er came out of the Ancient Song Inn, he thought about going to Shang Yuzhu to make things clear. However, when he looked up at the sky, the sun was setting, reflecting half of the city.
Lin Man'er sighed and walked aimlessly on the street. At this moment, the streets are even more deserted than before, and the gorgeous illuminations of the past have fallen silent in the night.
On the branches of the moon, Lin Man'er also walked from the East City to the West Market. However, the strange thing is that the West Market is actually full of lights and wine, full of people, a lively and peaceful scene.
Lin Man'er was curious, stopped a handsome boy dressed in gorgeous clothes, and asked, "Brother, why is this so lively?" ”
The handsome boy understood what Lin Man'er meant, and asked with a smile: "You came from Dongshi, right?" Seeing Lin Man'er nodding, he continued, "The East Market is not the same as the West Market. Most of the officials in Dongshi are Donghao, as well as many distinguished figures. Therefore, they will shy away from the fall of the old monarch.
However, most of the merchants in the West Market are from all over the world. They don't belong to Donghao in the first place, and they are here to play or trade. That's why the West Market is so lively. ”
Lin Man'er suddenly responded, looking at the lively street scene in front of him, he also wanted to relax. After all, he hadn't really rested since Helan Mountain came out.
The handsome boy seemed to see Lin Man'er's thoughts, so he was very enthusiastic to take him to a good place. Lin Man'er didn't have any good places to go, but now that someone led the way, he was naturally willing to follow.
On the way, the handsome son introduced himself, saying that his surname was Chen, his name was Baozhi, and he was from Shangzhou. Originally, he wanted to go to Xiluo to have a look, but when he heard that Donghao was lively, he changed his route halfway. So far, he has been there for almost a month.
After listening to this, Lin Man'er also briefly introduced herself. However, he did not report his real name, but assumed the pseudonym Lin Yichong.
Soon, the two arrived at their destination, the Phantom Sound Workshop.
As mentioned before, the Phantom Sound Workshop is a group of forces composed of musical instrument soul cultivators. Its headquarters Feixue Pavilion is in Shangzhou, and the headquarters of Zuixianju is blue water agar white jade building, sharing the reputation of "gathering dancers from all over the world in one pavilion and collecting the world's fine wine on the first floor".
Lin Man'er looked at the luxurious decoration of the Phantom Sound Workshop and the two "Lucky Dancing Girls" at the door, and already understood that he had arrived at the Fengyue place. Thinking about what happened during the day, he really didn't dare to go in.
However, Chen Baozhi pulled him in very enthusiastically. The two lucky dancers at the door saw the arrival of regular customers, and hurriedly transmitted the message to the maid in the building, asking them to receive them carefully.
The construction style of the Phantom Sound Workshop is basically the same everywhere, and after entering the main entrance, you will see a picture screen of the eight girls dancing together. Bypassing the screen, you will see a boxy pool of lotus flowers. Because there is moonlight sprinkled in the pond every time the moon is full, the lotus flowers bloom at that time, and the lotus platform hidden at the bottom of the pond slowly rises to the surface, so it is called the full moon lotus pond.
There are three-storey buildings in the southeast, north and south of the lotus pond, and there are private rooms inside. Among them, the first and second floors are for guests, while the third floor is for Maihime's residence.
It stands to reason that as a dancing girl but above the guests, it will inevitably cause criticism. However, the Phantom Sound Workshop is this rule, and if you don't like it, you don't have to come, anyway, there is no shortage of guests in the Phantom Music Workshop. Even, when the moon is full, guests who are not qualified to enter are not eligible.
Unfortunately, Lin Man'er did not encounter the opening of the full moon lotus pond this time, and she was not blessed to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the eight concubines dancing together. Of course, even if he arrives on time next month, he may not be able to come in.
The person in charge of receiving Chen Baozhi was a maid named Yun'er. As usual, she introduced Chen Baozhi and Lin Man'er into the East Building. After that, he asked if he wanted Sister Yanlan to play the piano.
Chen Baozhi shook his head and said, "No, I met a new friend today, let's let Miss Xiyan stroke the piano!" ”
After hearing this, Yun'er looked embarrassed: "I'm really sorry, Sister Xiyan is not available for the time being." ”
Chen Baozhi thought for a moment and replied, "Uh...... Then let Miss Feiyan come! ”
Yun'er shook her head and said with some embarrassment: "Sister Feiyan is not available for the time being. ”
Chen Baozhi was a little displeased: "Then the apricot girl should always be free, right?" ”
Yun'er still shook her head, indicating that Sister Xing'er was also not available. This time, Chen Baozhi was angry, and he said angrily: "What day is today, why are the three major Oiran not available?" ”
"I'm really sorry, but the three sisters were all covered by a guest."
"Oh, then I want to know, who has such a big face?"
Yun'er shook her head again and said, "Childe, please forgive me, the identity of the guest is inconvenient for the slave to reveal." ”
After hearing this, Chen Baozhi slapped the table and said angrily: "Bastard, call your master out." ”
After Yun'er saw it, she hurriedly poured a glass of wine and persuaded Chen Baozhi to extinguish the fire. However, Chen Baozhi has changed his normal situation today, and he has to serve the three major Oiran.
In this regard, Lin Man'er actually admonished: "Don't be angry, brother, let's just drink some wine." ”
Chen Baozhi waved his hand and said: "Brother Lin Hugh has to say more, if we only drink, we should go to the Drunken Immortal Residence, not this Phantom Sound Workshop." ”
Lin Man'er was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Then does the old man come here to listen to the piano or to see the beauty?" ”
Chen Baozhi coughed, and pretended to say: "Naturally, it is to listen to the piano and drink." ”
"Oh, that's going to work. I happened to have studied the piano for a few days, if you don't dislike it, I can give it a try. ”
As soon as these words came out, Chen Baozhi became interested, and hurriedly asked Yun'er to pick a good lyre. Yun'er happily agreed, and when she was about to leave, she saw Lin Man'er take out a seven-string guqin by herself.
Chen Baozhi only glanced at it and recognized that this piano was extraordinary. At the same time, he was also more sure in his heart, and the person in front of him was afraid that he was not small. At that moment, he clapped his hands and praised: "Good piano, good piano!" ”
Lin Man'er smiled and muttered in her heart: Nonsense, what was brought out of the Tianzun tomb was of course a good qin.
Interestingly, Yun'er actually recognized the origin of the seven-stringed guqin in Lin Man'er's arms. However, in order not to disturb Lin Man'er, she didn't say it. Instead, the case involved in burning incense with the intention of creating an elegant taste.
However, Lin Man'er stopped Yun'er and took out the Yishen incense he had obtained from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. At this moment, Chen Baozhi couldn't bear it anymore, and said curiously: "Brother Lin, I wonder if your Yishen fragrance comes from Tianbao Pavilion?" ”
Lin Man'er nodded slightly casually and said, "Well, it's from Tianbao Pavilion." ”
After hearing this, Chen Baozhi suddenly had an idea in his heart. For this reason, he also planned to join in the fun. So, in front of Lin Man'er, he waved his hand and took out a beautiful table.
After Yun'er saw this scene, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Phoenix Wings Feather Stage? ”
Chen Baozhi said proudly: "That's right, it's exactly what you have been looking for in the Phantom Sound Workshop for many years - the Phoenix Wing Feather Stage. ”
"When did the phoenix winged feather platform fall into your hands?" Yun'er asked.
Chen Baozhi immediately slapped him and reprimanded: "What kind of thing are you, dare to point fingers at me?" ”
Yun'er woke up and apologized again and again: "Son, please calm your anger, it's the slave who is rude." ”
"Hmph, don't think I don't know what's going on in your mind. It's a pity, since I dare to take it out, I'm not afraid of your Phantom Sound Workshop. ”
Yun'er didn't answer, but lit the Yishen incense that Lin Man'er took out. Then, very interestingly, he closed the door and left.
Chen Baozhi straightened his collar and said with a smile: "The idlers have been avoided, and the foolish brother is waiting for the virtuous brother's piano skills." ”
Lin Man'er responded with a good hello and put the seven-stringed guqin in his arms on the floating phoenix winged feather platform. The next moment, a magical scene happened. The seven-string guqin actually resonated with the phoenix winged feather platform, making an intoxicating phoenix chirping sound.
Chen Baozhi looked up to the sky and smiled, clapped his hands and applauded: "Haha, it's really wonderful!" ”
Lin Man'er looked at the guqin that was playing independently, and said with a blank expression: "What's going on?" ”
Chen Baozhi got up and walked in front of Lin Man'er, stroked the seven-stringed guqin, and explained: "The phoenix winged feather platform and the golden silk coketail qin are originally a pair. Now that the two have merged again, what a blessing! ”
Lin Man'er responded very casually, and then began to adjust the strings. However, Chen Baozhi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Lin! It doesn't seem to need to be adjusted, does it? ”
Lin Man'er shook his head and said, "I understand what you mean, but I have my own habits, so I have to tune it." ”
Although Chen Baozhi didn't quite understand, he didn't continue to ask again. Now, sit back on the couch and be a qualified listener with peace of mind.
Not long after, Lin Man'er finished tuning and began to play. As for the repertoire played, it is naturally in line with the current environment - "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix".
Accompanied by a soothing prelude, Chen Baozhi closed his eyes very naturally and listened intently. As the rhythm accelerated, Chen Baozhi unconsciously fell into Lin Man'er's intention to create with the sound of the piano. Moreover, when the sound of the piano spread beyond the private room with the help of the phoenix winged feather platform, the entire phantom sound workshop boiled.
Especially the owner of Jiangcheng Phantom Music Workshop, Plantagenet, when she listened to Yun'er's report, and then heard the beautiful sound of the golden silk Jiaowei piano and the phoenix winged feather platform, the whole person was extremely excited.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was Chen Baozhi, she would definitely rush into the private room without delay for a moment and snatch the golden silk coke tail qin and the phoenix wing feather platform. After all, these two treasures belonged to their Phantom Sound Workshop. It's just that it's lost for some reason.
By the way, the previous owner of the Golden Silk Jiaowei Qin and the Phoenix Wing Feather Tai is exactly what Lin Man'er has always wanted to know, the first beauty of the ancestral star - Qiushui Hibiscus.
Of course, in addition to the gorse, the three major Oiran of Jiangcheng Phantom Sound Workshop naturally heard the sound of the piano played by Lin Man'er. At the same time, they also judged from the sound of the piano that the other party must be a master with excellent piano skills.
Unfortunately, due to the guests in front of them, they could not leave in the first place to witness each other's dignity and exquisite skills.
However, the guest saw the thoughts of the three Oirans, raised the wine glass on the table, and said with interest, "I wonder who is stroking the qin?" ”
The three Oirans each looked at each of them and shook their heads. Obviously, the violin stroker is not the girl in the Phantom Workshop. That's why they're upset.
The guest smiled, drank the wine in his glass, and walked away to the sound of the piano.
