Coming out of the Qufeng City Lord's Mansion, Ah Da probably knew what the situation was now. Qufeng City Lord's intention was very obvious. There was an action from above, but she was not allowed to participate. It was probably that someone from Wuyou Valley would take over. She also hoped that

Ah Da and the others can leave quickly.

Ada was also very cooperative and told City Master Qufeng whether her people should follow or follow, and whether they should report to the superiors or report on time. But if the superiors really asked them to be the vanguard, although Ada would not attack City Master Qufeng, but

He won't hold back anyone who comes.

The Lord of Qufeng City naturally knew the meaning, and after nodding in agreement, the two parties reached an agreement.

Shi Wu watched the entire scene. While listening to the conversation between Ada and the mayor of Qufeng City, he sighed at how there were so many hidden secrets.

Before leaving, the Lord of Qufeng City also told Shi Wu that if he had a chance next time, he could come to Qufeng City as a tourist and have fun for two days, and she, Qufeng, would personally accompany him.

Shi Wu felt that the Lord of Qufeng City was very kind and nodded in agreement.

On the way back to the inn, Ah Da seemed absent-minded, while Shi Wu was wandering around with great interest.

It wasn't until Shi Wu pointed at a doll and asked Ah Da if it looked good that he realized that Ah Da was still thinking about something. He asked: "Grandpa Ah, what are you thinking about?"

Ah Da replied as he walked: "I'm thinking about who is coming to kill us in Wuyou Valley."

Shi Wu groaned and said, "Are you afraid of meeting an acquaintance? Will it be easier to deal with an acquaintance?"

Ah Da Dao: "No, the attack will even be more severe."

"Ah?" Shi Wu said in surprise.

"Because we are acquaintances and know the basics." Ada turned around and said, "But if they can do it, I can do it too."

Shi Wu shook his head after hearing this and said: "Then it's better not to be an acquaintance, otherwise it will be embarrassing."

Just when Shi Wu was waiting for Ah Da to reply, he found that Ah Da had stopped talking again. He turned around and saw Ah Da stopped in front of a shop called Qixian Pavilion.

Ada suddenly said: "Wait for me."

Shi Wu followed him curiously and saw that this was a small shop that was not very spacious. He thought that the business in the shop was not good, and the shop owner did not hire a waiter to help, so the boss was alone in the shop. And the shop's

The boss is not like others, he doesn't actively welcome guests when they come in, and just lets the guests watch by themselves.

After entering the Qixian Pavilion, Shi Wu discovered that this was a shop that sold pianos. There were newly made lyres hanging on the shelves. In the center of the shelf, with a beautiful mahogany base, there were three lyres that looked a bit strange.

Old piano.

Ada stood in front of these three broken pianos for a long time and could not move away. Shi Wu could not bear to disturb Ada, because he had seen the look on Ada's face before. Xuan Haoran looked like this when he missed Lin Jiaqiu.

After Ah Da stood there for a long time, the owner of the shop was also attracted to come over and stand together. Of course he was not attracted by the three pianos, but by a customer like Ah Da who could stand there and watch for so long. He was attracted by this

Qixian Pavilion's business was used to being deserted, so it was rare for him to find such a person who seemed to know how to play the piano. He also found it strange. But he was about to close up and go home. He interrupted Ah Da Dao: "This guest, if you really like it, you can

Just pick one and buy it."

The boss didn't have much expectations when he said this. His shop was passed down from his ancestors, and now he only sells some guqins he made to make ends meet. However, their ancestors had three guqins that were passed down for a long time, and they still have some.

Ancestors have taught you that you can’t sell it unless you have a close friend. But first of all, there are only a few people who know how to play the guqin. Secondly, the price is too high. Even if others want to buy it, they can’t afford it.

"The running water is broken, the plum blossoms are broken, and the turtle pattern is broken." Ada directly recognized the broken patterns on the three guqins and sighed, "I promised her back then that after killing Xie Fang, I would buy a pair of broken plum blossoms as a gift.

She then used that money together with the life money we had saved to buy two new identities in Guli. Unfortunately, things are unpredictable and fate has its way."

After hearing this, the boss was frightened and said: "Sir, what are you saying about killing people? People pay for their lives. I'm a small businessman and I don't do this."

Shi Wu knew that Ada must be talking about the past Wuyougu, so he helped explain: "My grandfather was talking about it in the play. Boss, how do you sell this piano?"

The boss was still a little scared, and just wanted to send them away quickly so that he could close the door. He said directly: "If the running water breaks, it will cost 800 taels of silver, and if the plum blossoms break, it will cost 1,500 taels of silver. As for the tortoise pattern, let's not talk about it."

Shi Wu was so frightened by the price that his jaw almost dropped. Now he heard that there was only one last thing left to say. He smiled and said: "No, you have already mentioned these two, and there is no difference between them. I'll take a look.

That turtle pattern cut off has a lot of background, just think of it as an eye-opener for me."

When the boss saw that the young master Shi Wu looked kind, he continued to tell him: "There is a story about this tortoise-shaped instrument. It is said that it was made by Sima Ruyong, the first emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Fang Jiao, who was a master of piano making at that time.

There are six pieces in total, all named "Qiwei". The first one is still in the palace of the Jin Dynasty. The remaining five were awarded to the important officials of the court at that time. But as the old saying goes, there are no flowers.

The sun is red. Those important ministers in those days gradually fell into decline, and these "Qiwei" swords were lost to the people one after another. As for the one I have here, it was collected by my great-grandfather from a down-and-out young master.

, a lot of gold was spent at that time. My great-great-grandfather was obsessed with collecting guqin all his life, and also liked to play the guqin himself. He believed that the guqin conveyed the sound of the past and was elegant in taste."

Shi Wu was amazed after hearing this and said: "Your great-grandfather is really an elegant man."

After meeting and talking about it, the boss complained: "What's Gao Ya? Gao Ya doesn't need to eat anymore? He is happy. He wants whatever he wants in his life, but he has suffered a lot for us, the younger generation. Our family was originally in Qufeng

He is one of the best masters in the city, but my great-grandfather really paid no hesitation in collecting the guqin. Even though the tortoise pattern was broken, he took it for five hundred taels of gold without even counter-offering. It’s five hundred taels of gold, little brother.

." The boss pointed at the broken tortoise pattern and was extremely sad. According to his true thoughts, how could anyone be willing to spend five hundred taels of gold to buy such a broken piano? However, he met his great-grandfather.

.

Shi Wu had to take another look at the "Qiwei". The mottled tortoise patterns on the piano's body were the traces of time. But in Shi Wu's eyes, this was not a Guqin.

This is a golden piano, the kind that is goldier than real gold.

Ah Da sighed: "A lot of money can't buy a broken turtle pattern, but your great-grandfather actually got a good deal."

When he heard that Ah Da was an expert, the boss said, "Do you want to take it? My great-grandfather took it for 500 taels of gold. I only need 400 taels of gold. I'm really fed up with this lackluster business."

I own a piano shop and sell one or two new guqins every month to make a living. These three guqins are the ancestors of the ancestors. They cannot be eaten or used. I am really afraid that my son’s generation will be destroyed.

Hold it in this piano hall."

Ah Da Dao: "I don't have so much gold now, so I can only buy one of the two in front of you."

The boss was very happy when he heard this and said: "Then just buy the bunch of plum blossoms. I won't charge you more. You only need to give me one thousand two hundred taels."

Ada hesitated for a moment and asked Shi Wudao: "Is it okay?"

Shi Wu said directly: "Of course you can. Boss, take off the plum blossom break gently and don't break it." Shi Wu wished that Ah Da had something he liked. He always felt that Ah Da was too wantless.

, People like this will not be happy. So when he learned from Shi Lintao that Ah Da wanted to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, Shi Wu immediately went to pick a basket of osmanthus and brought it back for Shi Lintao to make. He thought his Grandpa Ah could be happy.

Live instead of carrying something all the time.

Just when Ada was excited to pay, the boss said sheepishly: "Sir, wait a minute. My great-grandfather also left an unwritten rule, saying that this piano cannot be sold unless it is a close friend. If

If we sell the piano to someone who doesn't understand or know how to play the piano, he will crawl out of his grave to find us in the middle of the night."

Shi Wu was stunned and said: "Are you so ruthless?"

The boss also smiled helplessly: "So, guest sir, since you know how to play the piano, you must also be able to play the piano, right?"

Ah Da nodded and said, "I can sing a song."

The boss said with relief: "That's enough, that's enough. Just play it and we'll go through the motions. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that my great-grandfather will crawl out to find me in the middle of the night."

The boss gently took off the plum blossom and put it on the table. Ah Da sat upright and touched the strings with his fingers to test its tone. Sure enough, there was a burst of ancient rhyme, which was very different from the sound of the newly made instruments. Ah Da was right.

The sound of the broken plum strings was clear, but his hands were shaking.

It was the first time that Shi Wu saw Ah Da so nervous that his hands were shaking. Those hands had not shaken even when he killed Qifang City Lord. Ah Da calmed down and seemed to have returned to the time when Ah Jiu taught him this song.

The fingers fall on familiar positions one after another, as if reminiscing with old friends, and the melodious sound of the piano is as if people are in the moonlight at night, expressing the meaning of missing each other, and the feeling of making a wish together.

Stopping the music, even though Shi Wu and the boss were not good at playing the piano, they still heard the affection in this piece of music.

The boss asked involuntarily: "I wonder what the name of this song is?"

"Send the moon." Ah Da replied.

The boss sighed: "What a great name. How about calling this plum blossom 'Yue Yue' after it is broken?"

Ada was still immersed in the memories of the past and nodded.

"Two hundred and two hundred taels of silver, thank you very much," the boss said naturally.

Listening to the boss's immediate words, Shi Wu had a feeling that his grandpa had been cheated. But he couldn't say anything now. He could hear from the music played by grandpa that grandpa missed that person.

.

Seeing Shi Wu's complaining look, the boss, who was holding twelve hundred-tael silver notes tightly in his hand, felt a little embarrassed. He hurriedly said: "By the way, guests, wait a minute. I remembered that I still have this piano."

There is a piano case, let me help you find it."

As he said that, the boss searched and searched under the counter, and finally found a pitch black piano case. Maybe it had been left there for too long, and there was a thick layer of dust on it.

Shi Wugang was about to have a fit and say, boss, you just randomly found a dusty storage pit for us. Who would have thought that after the boss wiped it with a cloth, the ink-colored piano case actually revealed a layer of light. It was even engraved with exquisite cloud patterns.

, every detail is meticulously crafted by craftsmen. Coincidentally, there is a crescent moon emblem on the top of this piano case.

The boss smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry for keeping it for so long. But my dear, this guqin box was broken together with this plum blossom. No, no, it's called Yiyue now. My great-great-grandfather collected this guqin box together with this piece of plum blossom."

, this guqin box is said to be impervious to water and fire, and its sealing performance is particularly good, and it can stay still after being put in, so it is not afraid of being damaged by bumps. Of course, I don’t know whether it is true or false, but since it was handed down from ancestors

Yes, there shouldn’t be any difference.”

With that said, the boss put Yueyue into the piano case and handed it to Ah Da.

Ah Da took the moon that had just been placed in the box, touched the edge of the piano box and the lid and said, "It's ebony. Your great-grandfather's taste is really good." After saying that, Ah Da picked it up.

He picked up the strap on the piano case, put it on his back and went out.

Although Ah Da and the others had left, the boss's ears still echoed with Ah Da's words, "Your great-grandfather's vision is really not bad." He turned to look at the remaining flowing water and turtle patterns on the middle shelf. He didn't know.
