A Lady's Tranquility

The situation of the Qingyuan Uncle's Mansion was worsening day by day, and Yan Lin knew that as a noble child of an aristocratic family. It is well known that the prostitute of the uncle's house "falls into the water" at the Chongyang Banquet that day, not to mention the shocking words of Jiang Xuening at that time.

There is only one heir in Yongyi Hou's mansion, and he is very favored in the palace, so all kinds of slanderous methods in the back house cannot fall on him. But he had never eaten pork and had seen a pig run. Yan Lin still knew what the fights in the back house were like.

After all, the father also had a concubine and concubines.

He felt that Ning Ning was too fond of this uncle's concubine who met by chance and could not help but persuade her: "You are too kind-hearted, and there are so many people in the world who are clumsy and unsatisfactory. It’s enough to save people, can’t you expect her to be reborn? You must know that people’s situations have reasons, and if she has the ability, she will not fall into the previous fate.”

Jiang Xuening looked back and said, "Because I saved myself, I care more about her than ordinary people, and I hope she is better. But you are right, I have done my best, how can I manage 　　more?", she let out a breath.

It seems that he wants to relieve a certain not-so-pleasant feeling in his heart.

Then he said to Yan Lin, "Let's go in and have a look at the piano."

The Youhuang Pavilion, as you can tell from the name, this pavilion is specially designed for the piano.

Although the location is in the hustle and bustle of the bustling city, it can be regarded as an inch of land in the capital, but it must be seen from the inconspicuous downstairs facing the street and up the stairs to the second floor to see the elegant and plain bamboo. Plaque.

The word "youhuang" was written on the bamboo with pure ink.

Just because the qin is an elegant thing, the guests who come to look at the qin, the fake Aquin should be elegant, and the real Aquin should not join in the fun, so this kind of decoration and style can just be taken into account.

It was obviously not the first time for Yan Lin to come here, and Jiang Xuening walked in with a familiar road.

In front of the incense burner in the corner, a man dressed as a scribe was holding an incense stick and pouring incense.

Burning is actually a good Polu incense.

There is a faint scent of fragrance floating in the entire secluded hall.

Hearing the footsteps, the scribe turned his head, saw that it was Yan Lin, and smiled, only gently put down the incense stick, walked to the copper basin next to him to clean his hands, and said, "The prince is here. I think about it. If you don't come again, I'll hang up those qins for sale."

Yan Lin laughed: "Anyway, in the qin hall, can you take away the smell of copper?"

The scribe took it seriously and said: "Do you think I'm doing a good deed by opening a piano shop? To play piano, you need to bathe, wash your hands, burn incense, and you have to have a good piano. How can you not have money?"

Jiang Xuening only felt that this person was very strange, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The scribe was thin and had an ordinary appearance. He also glanced at Jiang Xuening and came to his senses: "This girl wants to play the piano, right?"

Jiang Xuening did not speak.

Yan Lin said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, where's Qin?"

The scribe raised his eyebrows slightly, and easily felt that Yan Lin was unusual for this woman, so he didn't take his eyes back, but instead looked at Jiang Xuening a few more times before turning around. Walking into the interior, he took out the four pianos hidden inside one by one and placed them on the long table in the pavilion. Then he untied the outer piano bags one by one, and asked Yan Lin to come and look at them: "Originally I found five pianos, one of which was newly made by Jiangning Gu Benyuan, but it was too late, when my people went, Gu Benyuan had given the new piano to Xie Ju'an."

Gu Benyuan is now the most famous qin master.

Generally speaking, the process of picking a qin is very cumbersome. It takes at least a year to make a qin from the selection of wood materials to the audition of strings. year.

A qin master is a craftsman and makes a living from it.

Of course, if you produce a piano in two years, you will starve to death, so many luthiers will prepare the wood and make ten or twenty pianos at the same time. Although the process of making a piano still takes two years, many pianos can be produced in two years...

But Gu Benyuan is in his 60s this year, and he is about to reach the age of old age. He is not as energetic as those young violin masters.

People of the time prefer to pursue rare things.

In the past two years, there are countless people who have asked for the piano for thousands of dollars, but no one thought that the face of this new piano had not been revealed yet, and the sound had not been leaked. The old man even gave it to Xie Wei directly. How many people grit their teeth secretly?

Yan Lin practiced martial arts, not counting Aiqin, but after hearing about Gu Benyuan's reputation, he was stunned for a while: "Gift?"

"Ah, it's a free gift." The scribe finally revealed his dissatisfaction and sneered, but then he gloated a little, "Didn't King Pingnan rebel against the Party and assassinate a court official in the capital a while ago? Xie Ju'an Yi Zhang Qin has been chomping for three years. That day, I chose a few good strings from me. I was planning to wear it for an audition while I had time. As a result, halfway back home, I did not know how to go up some high-rise building and encountered a rebellion against the party. I'm fine, but someone cut a new string even before I put it on. Tsk, I'm not upset or angry, we don't know, anyway, I heard that he didn't go to court for two days. Gu Benyuan After knowing this, he asked someone to take the qin from Jiangning to the capital to give it to him. Isn't that a post?" Yan Lin said, "You don't care about the qin

, do you?"

"Cough."

Yan Lin coughed, wanting to say, "Does this prince look like that kind of cheater?", but after thinking about it, he still didn't answer.

Xie Wei is the young master of the prince, and now he presides over the lectures of the classics in the palace, and he is half a gentleman.

The other side is different.

This scholar is the owner of the Youhuang Pavilion. He was originally a scholar from the same department as Xie Wei, and he was also from Jinling. His surname was Lu and his first name was Xian. All the way up the entrance exam, Xie Wei was the second in the case, Xie Wei Jieyuan was the second, Xie Wei Huiyuan was the second, and he even had to be crushed when he entered the Hanlin Academy.

At that time, people all joked that "Xie Yi Lu Er".

Lu Xian was born into a poor family and had a stubborn temper.

Unexpectedly, the funeral report came from Jinling, and it would take Ding You three years for Xie Wei to go home for the funeral. Lu Xian suddenly became number one, but he felt that there was nothing interesting in the Hanlin Academy.

After a year, he resigned directly.

I heard people say that it seems to have gone back to Jinling.

Four years ago, Xie Wei returned to the imperial court with the help of the current sage, Shen Lang, and now the officials are at least a teacher; Lv Xian seems to have lost interest in his career. Although he has returned to the capital, he has opened a qin shop to sell qin. Free Cloud Wild Crane.

It is unheard of for people who have entered Hanlin to do this kind of business. Some old acquaintances in Beijing couldn't believe it, so they came to visit more.

It didn't take long for this violin hall to become famous in the court and among the public.

Of course, some people gradually discovered that compared to being an official of the Qing Dynasty, Lu Xian was unequivocal in being a "profiteer"...

In other words, Lu Xian and Xie Wei are old acquaintances who have dealt with each other, and it is quite rude to say "Xie Ju'an", but Yan Lin is taught by Xie Wei, but he has to weigh the word "honor and inferiority".

He looked at the four pianos in front of him and asked, "What about these?"

It's just that Jiang Xuening really doesn't love the piano.

When learning the piano in her last life, all the noble ladies from aristocratic families were eager to show their faces in front of Xie Wei, but she was too bitter and tired. I haven't listened to him a few times.

If you want to ask her which of these pianos she likes.

She wanted to answer: I don't like one.

Fortunately, Yan Lin knew that she did not learn the qin in the mansion before, so after some consideration, she asked for the guqin from more than 300 years ago, called "Jiao'an". The body of the violin has been covered with running water and broken lines due to the weathering and vibration of playing all year round.

Just the price is scary.

Lu Wei smiled and compared three fingers to Yan Lin, Jiang Xuening took a deep breath.

Yan Lin regarded it as normal and asked someone to pay with a silver note, then put the piano bag on and handed it over to Jiang Xuening, saying, "Although you entered the palace to read with the princess, Mr. Learning, on the qin, but you won't be forgiven lightly because you are a girl's family. Listening to Mr. Xie's lectures, you must have a good spirit. He doesn't play the qin often in the palace, and I'm fortunate to hear a few. Going back is excellent. If you didn't want to learn the piano in the past, it must be because the teacher who taught the piano was not good. Now when you enter the palace, maybe you will like it."

Therefore, a good piano is a must.

But when Jiang Xuening heard what he said, the corners of her eyes twitched slightly: No one knows why she didn't want to learn the piano after entering Beijing, it was because of Xie Wei.

Four years ago, on the way to Beijing, Xie Wei hugged the piano.

She also thought that this person was really a distant relative of Jiang's house, dressed in white cloth, with nothing but a violin, and looked sick. Although he rides in the same car with her, he doesn't like to talk to anyone, and he closes his eyes most of the time, only when he occasionally stops to rest in the middle, he will stroke the piano.

Jiang Xuening didn't understand, and he didn't like it.

Only then did she know about her life experience, and she also knew that there was a "sister" in the family who was praised by everyone. She was afraid that she would be looked down upon by the servant girl who came to pick her up from Beijing. To show the attitude of a lady to everyone, for that humble and pitiful "self-esteem".

The eldest ladies are all high above and bossy.

Therefore, she is also arrogant and bossy towards others, and this "other" includes "Xie Wei".

She grew up in the countryside and didn't learn any rules, but this person walks, sits, and sleeps well, whether it's the gesture of holding the chopsticks when eating together, or the neatness of resting in the carriage, all Make her look uncomfortable.

But people are always reluctant to admit it.

Even if she became a queen later, she didn't want to see Xie Wei, and Xie Wei's name was always linked to Qin, and she didn't want to see Qin even with her.

She was seen by this person when she was the most frightened and unbearable in her life. As long as she saw this person, she would be reminded of the past.

And this is the most taboo of her previous life.

Who knows what Xie Wei thought of her at that time?

Today's Empress Niangniang was originally a country girl who didn't look like a prince in a dragon robe.

As long as I think about it, I feel embarrassed, so Jiang Xuening has always thought that this past does not exist.

Xie Wei, who knows people's hearts, probably knows her thoughts.

Even though he had a very high status in the court and the opposition and frequently entered and exited the court, he rarely appeared in front of her, and he never mentioned it.

As for the scar on her wrist, she asked the imperial doctor to prescribe a prescription, carefully applied the medicine for two years, and it disappeared completely.

At this moment, the fragrance of Polu in the hall is dense.

The fragrance is far away, making people meditative.

Jiang Xuening blinked, looked down at the "Jianan" that was handed over to him, and suddenly thought: If it wasn't for Zhang Zhe, maybe, when she died and was buried in the soil, she wouldn't mention it to anyone. , She also had the kindness of feeding blood to Xie Wei.

But...

it seems that after the palace change in the previous life, Xie Wei had blood on his hands and never touched the piano again.
