"What that and this?" Qining couldn't laugh or cry: "Madam, please respect yourself."
Tian Xuerong was stunned and felt angry, thinking to herself that you don't know how to be dignified, but you said that I don't know how to respect myself. If it were anyone else, the beautiful woman would probably have had an attack, but in front of Qi Ning, she still didn't have the guts to bite her Lips, silent.
Qi Ning made sure there was no one around, and then said softly: "Madam is good at piano skills. I have a piece of music here. Madam, can you help me take a look?"
"Music score?" Tian Xuerong originally lowered his head, but suddenly heard Qining talking about the music score. He was a little surprised. He raised his head and saw Qining taking out a scroll from his arms, placing the scroll next to the guqin, and then went over to open the door and window. Close them all.
At this time, Tian Xuerong felt that she seemed to be overly concerned. She felt a little strange when she saw the scroll placed next to the guqin. She stretched out her hand to pick it up and take a look, but she retracted her hand before her fingertips touched it.
She is a smart woman. Just now, Qin Ning looked stern and asked not to reveal anything to anyone, so she felt that things were not simple.
Qining closed the doors and windows. Tian Xuerong complained a little in his heart. He secretly thought that many people in the house saw you and me coming to the piano room. If someone saw that the doors and windows of the piano room were closed, you and I would be alone. Here, even if nothing happens, people will inevitably speculate.
But how dare you care about this at this time.
Qi Ning came over and motioned Tian Xuerong to sit down next to the guqin. Then he sat cross-legged next to her, picked up the scroll, opened it, then spread his hands and handed it over. Tian Xuerong hurriedly took it, glanced at it twice, and Qi Ning asked softly: "Madam, do you understand?"
Tian Xuerong glanced at Qining. She knew that this matter was not simple, so she felt a little nervous and said softly: "Master Hou, this... I don't recognize the words in front of this, but... but it does seem to be music score at the back."
Qining breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Madam, can you understand?"
Tian Xuerong nodded slightly. She carefully placed the music score on the ground beside her, looked at it carefully, and suddenly stretched out her tender jade arm, and picked a string with a bamboo finger. The sound of the piano was clear and melodious.
Qi Ning held his breath to avoid affecting Tian Xuerong.
Tian Xuerong then continuously plucked the strings, stroking the strings with her ten fingers. The sound came out, soothing like a flowing spring. The beautiful sound flowed out from the lady's fingers, like a thin stream flowing through her heart. Qining could only feel the tune. It was something I had never heard before. It was completely different from the music I had heard before.
Just as he was enjoying himself, he suddenly heard the music of the piano suddenly stop. Qining immediately stared at Mrs. Tian's eyes. Mrs. Tian's two slender eyebrows, as long as willow leaves, frowned. Her beautiful eyes stared at the music score, and then she picked up her fingers and tried again. Twice, but the sound was weird, completely inconsistent with the beautiful melody before.
"No...!" Tian Xuerong shook his head slightly, then looked up at Qining and whispered: "Master Hou, this... is this music score wrong?"
"wrong?"
"Master Hou, there is nothing much in the beginning of this music score, but here, the rhythm of the piano suddenly changes. The piano has five tones, each of which is connected, but... But the conversion between the five tones has been followed since childhood." Tian Xuerong said seriously: "But The following three consecutive melodies completely violate the law of melodies and cannot form a melodies at all." After saying that, he tried two more times. The tone was weird and dry without any beauty of melodies. Even people who don't understand melodies can't understand it. You can tell something is wrong.
Qi Ning frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said: "You jump over here first and see if there is a smooth place behind."
Tian Xuerong hummed softly and looked at the music score carefully. After a moment, she said: "It's a little smooth here, but... it gets messy immediately afterwards, well, here... it seems to be smoother here, here... no, there's another problem. "
Qi Ning felt more and more strange and asked: "Madam, is it true that the person who wrote this music score is being mysterious and deliberately setting up obstacles?"
Tian Xuerong did not raise her head, but stared at the music score. After a moment, she said: "Master Hou, it's really strange. This chaotic place seems... It seems to be a song of its own...!" Holding the strings, an ethereal melody came out. Immediately, the lady's pretty face showed a hint of joy, and she said excitedly: "Yes, I understand."
Qi Ning perked up and asked hurriedly: "What's going on?" He stood up and walked to Tian Xuerong's side. He stayed close to his wife and stared at the music score. At this time, both of them were attracted by the music score. Although they were close to each other, they didn't care. Tian Xuerong's bamboo shoots Pointing at the music score, he said: "Look, Lord Marquis, although the music of this music score is one from beginning to end, there is something fishy about it. If I'm not mistaken, it's actually two pieces of music mixed together."
"You mean these are two songs?"
"It should be like this." Madam nodded: "It's just that the two tunes are completely mixed together. You have to separate the two tunes one by one. Some tunes are specious and seem to flow smoothly, but they are not necessarily within the same tune. , it takes a lot of playing to see if it fits.”
Qi Ning could not wait to hug Tian Xuerong and kiss her, and said excitedly: "So, this is indeed a music score?"
"That can't be wrong." Madam was also happy when she discovered the secret, and said with a pretty smile: "Although my piano skills are average, I can still read it even though it's not a music score."
Qining laughed, but felt strange in his heart.
When he was in the Eastern Qi Dynasty, the Prime Minister of the Eastern Qi Dynasty Ling Huxu made a conclusive statement, claiming that the Ksitigarbha music score contained great secrets from which the whereabouts of the Ksitigarbha Book could be found. He also claimed that the Ksitigarbha Book was divided into four volumes. Being able to see through the past and future, Qi Ning has always been hesitant. Today, when he heard Tian Xuerong say that this is indeed the music score, he became very suspicious.
If this Ksitigarbha music score is really just a music score, then how can it contain the secret of the Ksitigarbha Book? Could it be that there is another mystery in this melody? If this was not the case, then why did Linghu Xu deceive himself and claim that there was a mystery in it.
He was puzzled. At this time, Tian Xuerong found that he and Qining were too close. Seeing that Qining was deep in thought, Tian Xuerong calmly distanced himself slightly.
"Madam, how long will it take to pick out these two pieces of music?" Qining pondered for a moment and finally asked.
Tian Xuerong said: "The music scores of the two hands are combined into one, completely mixed together. If it is just removed, it will be completely wrong, and they can be separated in two or three days, but... some of the tunes seem to fit together, and it is difficult to tell immediately. Which piece of music it belongs to, we still need to find some music scores for research. If we really want to completely separate it, it will take at least ten days."
"Ten days?" Qining thought that this world is not that long, but he just left the Ksitigarbha music score here, but he didn't know if it was safe.
He was not worried that Tian Xuerong would reveal the secret, but he knew that many people were looking for the Ksitigarbha music score. If Tian Xuerong picked the music score in this piano room, he didn't know if anyone would hear it and then spread it around, thus bringing Tian Xuerong's music score to Tian Xuerong. Although the possibility of being discovered by others is low in the event of disaster, it is not foolproof.
But he also knew that the Ksitigarbha music score was not trivial. Although Tian Xuerong could see that it was a two-hand piece of music, it was difficult to determine whether there was another mystery hidden in it. If he wanted to get a glimpse of the mystery inside, he naturally had to first take a look at what these two pieces of music had. The difference is that now that Tian Xuerong has been found to help find out the strangeness, it is naturally not easy to trick others. After all, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better.
He was silent, and Tian Xuerong seemed to see what he was thinking, and whispered: "Is the Marquis worried that it is not safe for the music score to be left here?"
Qi Ning secretly praised that this beautiful woman was really smart, and nodded slightly. Tian Xuerong knew that this was Qi Ning's problem. If he could help Qi Ning solve this problem, Qi Ning would definitely owe a big favor to the couple. Anti-final cooperation will definitely be of great benefit. He said softly: "If Mr. Hou is trustworthy, I will leave this music score here for now. I will come here every night. On weekdays, I often play the piano here at night, and no one will be suspicious. I Separate the two pieces of music as soon as possible, and as soon as there are results, please invite the Marquis to come over."
Governor Qi Ningxin has only done this until now. He thought for a moment, nodded and said: "It will be difficult for you. But... Madam, you must not forget what I said before. This curling score is very important. If it is leaked, It is very possible that my life is in danger, not because of what I want to do to my wife, but because someone wants to get this music score and is ruthless, and someone has already died because of this music score."
In fact, up to now, only Zhuo Qingyang was missing because of the Ksitigarbha scroll, and his life or death was uncertain. Qining's words only made Tian Xuerong dare not reveal anything.
Tian Xuerong was shocked when she heard that someone died because of the music score. She trembled slightly, hesitated, but still gritted her teeth and said: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I won't let anyone know." But in her heart, she thought that in the capital, There are so many people who know music, and there are probably many experts in this field in Jinyihou Mansion. Qining did not look for others, but specifically looked for himself, which shows that he really trusts himself.
She has seen a lot of the world and people, and she has always been wary of outsiders. She is even more cautious in the business world and never dares to trust others. For her, trust is not a trivial matter, so the trust Qining showed in her was surprising. This beautiful woman was very moved.
"Master Marquis, please sit down first and I'll pour you a cup of tea." Tian Xuerong and Qining were close at hand. She felt a little warm on her body. Her body was prone to sweating and she was very afraid of heat. She found a reason to get up and went over. Pour the tea.
Qi Ning also got up and walked around the piano room with his hands behind his back, but thinking about the night he got the Ksitigarbha scroll, Zhuo Qingyang's disciple Jiang Suiyun also appeared at Qionglin Academy and was also searching for things. At that time, Jiang Suiyun What Yun was looking for was obviously the Ksitigarbha Scroll. In other words, Jiang Suiyun's purpose of approaching Zhuo Qingyang after arriving in the capital was probably for the Ksitigarbha Scroll.
Qining was not sure whether Zhuo Qingyang disappeared after being injured that night and had something to do with Jiang Suiyun, but Qi Ning knew that if the group had nothing to do with Jiang Suiyun, their purpose was probably related to Jiang Suiyun. The same thing is to get the Ksitigarbha Scroll. These people all want to get the Ksitigarbha Scroll. Of course, their purpose cannot be just to get two pieces of music. What secrets are hidden in this Ksitigarbha Scroll is really puzzling.
He wandered around and unknowingly turned behind a screen. This screen was in the corner of the room. It was very inconspicuous. Qining was startled for a moment. He really wanted to turn out of the screen, but saw that the corner was covered with black silk cloth. I don’t know if I am worried about dust falling on the same thing, but Tian Xuerong often comes to this piano room, so why should I worry about dust falling
He was curious and couldn't help walking over. When he reached the edge, Tian Xuerong had already poured the tea. He turned around and didn't see Qi Ning. He looked for it hurriedly and saw Qi Ning's figure shaking behind the screen in the corner. He hurriedly put down the tea cup, his face instantly filled with tears. Hongxia walked over quickly and said repeatedly: "Master Hou, the tea is ready, you... come here and drink tea...!"
Qi Ning turned around and saw that Tian Xuerong had turned to the screen, with a red face and sweat pouring from her forehead, and asked curiously: "What's wrong, madam?"
Tian Xuerong forced a smile and said: "It's nothing, Lord Marquis, the tea... the tea is ready, hurry up... come and drink tea." She said it was nothing, but she was holding the skirt of her chest with both hands, and she looked extremely nervous, her eyes as charming as autumn water. His eyes seemed to be glancing at the thing covered by the silk cloth.
