Stealing time

Ring beam

I got up early the next morning, and as soon as the morning passed, I went out. After a while at Liu Chuntao's house, he asked Xiaowu to take me to the door of the Manhan Building, and let him stroll around by himself. Although it was a little strange to come to Manhan Building at this point, it was easy to say anything when the silver arrived. Xiao Wu didn't say anything and drove away.

A carriage stopped beside him, and a man who looked like a tleman asked, "Is it Liu Chuntao from Jiu Ye's Mansion?"

Getting my affirmative answer, the boy asked me to get in the car, saying that Shang Yu asked him to pick me up. I looked at the boy suspiciously and decided to believe him without anyone else to refer to. I got into the car, but I scolded Shang Yu in my heart. He pretended not to come and found someone I didn't know. This is a test of my courage.

I got out of the car in an inconspicuous alley. The boy pointed to a small door and let me in, but I drove away.

This is like the work of a suspense horror film director. The heroine was led to a strange and horrible place, surrounded by a dead silence, leaving only the heroine to explore this terrible unknown and dangerous place tremblingly.

While secretly scolding Shang Yu for being false, I pushed the door and entered.

I thought it was just an ordinary small courtyard, but I didn't expect that there was a different world behind the door.

In front of us is a garden, a big garden in a big house. Trees, rockery, and green bamboo are all over the eyes, surrounded by splashing green water. The layout of the garden scenery is unique, which has the charm of the Jiangnan garden.

What a garden with ordinary appearance and beauty inside! Quietly lying in this bustling city, hidden and hidden. That's what it's so-called hiding in the city!

The thoughts of its owner can be seen!

I don't know where the sound of the piano comes from. The music is as melodious as fairy music, and the sound of the piano is empous and endless. Good piano! Good song!

I quickly walked around a large clump of holly, and my eyes suddenly opened up. A large area of white light and a veil-like fog surrounds it. There is an octagonal pavilion in the water. On the water alone, there is only a green bamboo bridge winding to the shore. On the opposite shore is a clump of evergreen green bamboo, which has become the background of the pavilion.

In this season, the water is clean. Xiaoting stood alone on it, quite like a legacy and independent immortal. If there are dense lotus leaves growing on the surface of the water in two months, it will be a living wonderland on earth.

In the fairyland-like scenery, a man in white was sitting in the pavilion. There was a guqin on the case in front of him. An incense burner emitted curling smoke, blurring the face of the man in white.

He plays very attentively. From behind, his body is like a clock, steady and motionless, with only his arms slightly pulled. I walked over quietly, and when I stepped on the bamboo bridge, I lighten my pace. I don't want to disturb the quiet running water, the distant music and the man who is immersed in the music and sits like a clock.

The slender fingers hooked on the strings and made a tinkling sound. Like dew sliding down, like pearls rolling down, and like petals stretching quietly.

Listening to the music, the water in front of me seemed to be a lotus flower, as bright as a haze, as beautiful as a delicate face; it was also like a layer of lotus leaves, and the dew in the leaves rolled down like beads of tears. Thousands of lotus fields, Yangyang waves, the music is far away, the lingering sound is entangled, and the silk is endless.

The flowers are blooming in the eyes, and the music in the ears is far away.

He stopped and sat quietly. For a long time, I raised a pair of palms and patted them gently. The palms made a crisp sound, breaking the tranquility of a garden.

He turned around, smiled, and his face was gentle, like spring water microwave, melting warmth.

is Shang Yu.

I was stunned for a moment. Is this the guy who forced me to go to the appointment by threatening yesterday?

I woke up from a fairyland-like dream and reminded myself that this person may be as different as this garden. Under the fairy-like appearance, who knows what is hidden! So, I calmed down my face and calmed down.

"A thief also knows the rhythm? It doesn't seem to be an ordinary thief. In that case, please comment on it!" What he said was not as gentle as his face. I'm not surprised. I learned it yesterday.

"I don't know the rhythm. I just heard water and lotus in your music." I said, it's more or less careless. I don't know much about ancient music, and I'm only interested in famous pianos.

"It seems that I, Shang Yu, met a bosom friend today. The encounter between Boya and Ziqi is rare, and I, Shang Yu, am so lucky!"

I was puzzled, and he smiled again, "This song is called "Lotus in the Water."

I raised my left eyebrow. Is it because I'm lucky to be crooked, or does he play so well that he can understand how to play the piano?

"Don't be happy too early. I only know a little about the rhythm. I still know a little about this piano." I walked to the piano case and looked up and asked, "Can I see this piano?"

He smiled gentlemanly, "It seems that I really met a great man today. Please feel free!"

The shape of this piano is simple, and the wood color is extremely dark. The surface is very smooth, and the corners have been grinded round, and you can't feel the edges and corners. In the long years, I don't know how many people have touched and enjoyed this piano, which has achieved today's simple and smooth appearance.

I reached out and stroked the string, which made a few pleasant clear sounds under my hand, but it was out of tune. I'm just trying its tone. I can't play the guqin, but I can taste it.

The werewolf once said: a thief can't play the piano, but must be able to taste the piano; he can't paint, but must appreciate it; he can't touch the jewelry, but must recognize them at a glance. This is just a basic skill of stealing.

From the time I entered the door just now, I heard that the tone of the piano was elegant and simple, empty but atmospheric, the bass was muddy and outstanding, the treble was leisurely and high, especially its ending, which was clear and high, lingering, if there was nothing, but it was not always in the ear. It reminds me of the sentence "The aftertrance is endless for three days."

I raised the left side of the piano, put my finger to the lower corner, and touched the words I expected.

I stood up from the piano case and frowned. In the face of Yingying water waves, I thought about all kinds of possibilities, but I couldn't solve them in the end.

Shang Yu walked to me, looked at me with deep meaning and said, "What do you think of me?"

I stretched my eyebrows and said, "I dare not be a master. Let me talk about my humble opinion first, and I will ask you, the master, to help me solve my doubts later."

He smiled and nodded. I said, "This piano is elegant in shape and finely made. You can tell at a glance that it is not ordinary. The sound of the piano is comparable to the song of Han E's day, and the lingering sound is endless for three days. The word "Chu Zhuang" is also engraved in the lower left corner of the piano. Is it really the legendary famous piano that made the king of Chu Zhuang love it and made him fall in love for seven consecutive days?

Shang Yu smiled and said, "It's really a master who can say the name of this piano. It's just a round beam, like a fake replacement!"

I narrowed my eyes and said, "Sure enough, it's the famous piano! It's a blessing to see you today. It's just that the little woman has something unclear. Can you ask Mr. Shang to tell the little woman?

Shang Yu nodded and said, "Please say it!"

"According to records, this piano, as one of the four famous pianos, is loved as a treasure by the king of Chuzhuang. In order to play this piano, he did not go to the early morning for seven consecutive days and almost missed the country. After his princess's advice, the king of Chuzhuang decided not to be a plaything, so he ordered someone to destroy it with a heavy hammer. In this case, how could he appear here unscathedly, and how did Mr. Shang get this harp? I looked at Shang Yu, and my eyes were full of doubts.

Shang Yu expressed his admiration and said, "Madam is really learned from ancient and modern times, and she even knows such a secret rank."

I shook my head to show that it was not worth mentioning, but I didn't say anything, waiting for his answer.

"Does the lady also know that Fan Ji, the princess of the King of Chu Zhuang, was also a person with excellent rhythm at that time. She saw that the king of Chu Zhuang was going to destroy the piano, so she changed the piano without telling everyone. What was destroyed was a fake piano, but the real piano was quietly collected by Fan Ji. When the king of Chu passed away, Fan Ji was buried with him. This piano was buried with him. The king of Chuzhuang can't be compared with this piano day by day, but death can have its long companion, which is also the end of his wish in his life.

"Your statement is reasonable, which can explain how intact the guqin recorded in the book is intact. But this is a secret thing 2,000 years ago, how did you know it? In addition, how did you get this piano? His explanation is perfect, but I don't have no doubt about his explanation.

"You are really thoughtful. It seems that you can't do it without telling you my own secret!" He said it secretly, but he didn't care at all. This piano was stolen from the tomb of King Zhuang of Chu 60 years ago. The tomb robber knew that the piano was extraordinary, so he stayed with him and passed it on to future generations after his death. I happened to know his descendants, and by chance, I bought this piano from his descendants.

No wonder he was willing to say it until the end. It turned out to be the stolen goods of the tomb! I laughed in my heart. It seems that this guy is not just a regular businessman.

"As for the story that it can not be destroyed, it is said that a bronze tripod was unearthed together with the piano during the tomb robbery, with inscriptions on which the book was engraved." This explanation is reasonable.

"Where is the copper tripod now? Maybe I can have a look?" After working in this industry for a long time, I have more or less got into the habits of archaeologists, and I like to ask the bottom of things.

Shang Yu shook his head with a helpless expression. You are really having a hard time. The tripod had long been exchanged for money by the grave robber, so I didn't see the tripod when I got the piano.

I raised my eyebrows and didn't think so. Then how can you be sure that it is the winding beam of King Chu Zhuang?

Shang Yu ignored my disapprove and said with a conceited face, "I believe in my own ears. This piano sound can't be fake!"

He confirmed the piano with his rhythm skills, and I checked the piano with archaeological common sense. In fact, I have already believed seven or eight points in my heart, but my professional habits make me get to the bottom of it.

I said, "I've been silent for 2,000 years. I'm lucky to hear this peerless sound today. The famous piano for thousands of years is unique. Compared with the piano, there is probably only green Qi!"

The four famous pianos in ancient times: bell, winding beam, green Qi and scorched tail. The bell is the oldest, the focal tail is the most famous in later generations, the sound quality around the beam is the most unique, and the green Qi is the most romantic, which has achieved a long-lasting story of phoenix seeking phoenix.

"Green Qi?" Shang Yu's pupils dilated and retracted in an instant. He asked, "Have you ever seen this piano?"

Although it's only for a moment, I believe I have seen the most eager expression he has shown since I met him. I was stunned: This man is really a piano idiot! There is already such a peerless famous piano in your hand, and you will show such a longing look when you hear another famous piano. How rare this look is for a businessman who has always been light and shrewd! This is enough to show that his love for the famous piano has become obsessed.

Lvqi, I've seen it in Prince Yu's mansion. However, I can't tell him now.

Everyone has weaknesses. The more shrewd people are, the more difficult it is to find weaknesses. I'm really lucky to find the weakness of Shang Yu this time!

This person's enemies and friends are not clear now. Of course, I will seize this weakness. Therefore, I will never tell him that Lv Qi is in Prince Yu's Mansion now. Naturally, this point is to be sold.

I smiled and said, "This kind of peerless famous piano, ordinary people can't even see one, so how can anyone see two at once?"

Shang Yu probably also realized that his mind was too obvious and left his weakness in my hands. But after all, he is a shrewd businessman and responsive. After listening to my words, he thought for a moment and smiled, "Ordinary people can't see a single one, but--" He dragged a long voice, "How can a thief who can recognize the peerless famous piano at once be an ordinary person? Especially this thief is still hiding in my brother's house!"

What is he talking about? My heart shrank violently. His faint words sounded to me like five thunderbolts.

Is it possible that he is implying that he knows that I hide in the ninth brother's house for another purpose?
