The piano was carried out and placed in a large mahogany box. Everyone could not see its true appearance in Lushan, but their curiosity was undoubtedly aroused. Not to mention anything else, this box alone is very beautiful and attractive. The four walls are painted with beautiful patterns of flowers and birds, and on the top is a pagoda shaped like a silver fire tree, which is dazzling. Like a treasure.
"Wow, what is this? It's so beautiful!" The big box was still tightly covered with cloth. Just after the cloth was pulled down, Princess Gaoyang exclaimed loudly, "surnamed Qin, this is what you and I Did I say 'mysterious thing'?"
"There are two people here named Qin." Li Ke said with a smile.
"Of course I'm referring to that guy!" Princess Gao Yang cooed at Qin Mubai.
Everyone smiled and said nothing. Often, the more intimate and special people you treat, the less willing you are to call them by their names. It seems that Qin Mubai's status in Princess Gaoyang's heart is already extraordinary.
Qin Mubai stroked his palms and smiled and said: "I have to admit that the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty are really amazing and amazing. This box alone is amazing enough. It is indeed a gathering of people. The best craftsman in the world will be the prisoner!"
"Stop being so pretentious, take it out and take a look at it." Li Ke urged.
"I remember Tu Shuling, who will be the supervisor, told me afterwards that he installed an ingenious little mechanism on the box, so he didn't have to expend great effort to move the treasures inside every time. The mechanism is there The bottom of this silver flower fire tree, look here -" After that, Qin Mubai reached out and pressed a wooden button.
Suddenly, the wooden block next to it slowly fell down, and then, a piano inside slowly slid out like a pulley and appeared in front of everyone.
For a moment, there was silence in the room, so everyone was speechless in amazement.
Li Ke and others were naturally surprised by this piano they had never seen before, while Qin Mubai was shocked by this extremely exquisite mechanism that only appeared in novels and movies!
What a miraculous skill! How could the ancient Chinese ancestors be so smart? How could they make these magical things without electricity or mechanized hydraulic presses
"She must be very beautiful, right?" Yao'er spoke first, "Miss Shuang'er, can you describe it to me?"
"This... I don't know how to describe it. I have never had this thing before, and I don't know what it is used for." Qin Shuang'er said in confusion and wonder, "It's so exquisite, so beautiful, so incredible! This machine What can the things be used for?”
Yao'er said: "I remember when Tu Shuling came to deliver something, he said that this was a mysterious 'instrument' specially made by his teacher. It is unique in the world throughout the ages. I remember Tu Shuling once said that in order to make such a He made a piano, and he summoned more than a dozen of the best metalsmiths, musical instrument makers, carpenters, etc. in the world at the General Supervisor's Office. It cost more than building a palace and making a hundred pieces of the finest Mingguang Armor. It took a lot of hard work to make this instrument, and it barely meets the requirements and standards of my teacher. Well, it’s this piano!”
"It's a musical instrument?" After Yao'er finished speaking, everyone looked at Qin Mubai in surprise.
"That's right." Qin Mubai smiled to himself, "Later, you will hear the freshest and most shocking music in history!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's get started!" Li Ke yelled, "Come on, come on, let's all sit down, quietly prick up our ears and listen to Qin Mu, the great music master at the pinnacle of the Tang Dynasty. Master Bai Qin, play for us—this most fresh and shocking piece of music!”
"Okay!" Everyone sat down and looked at Qin Mubai with bated breath.
Qin Mubai calmly sat down in front of the piano, stretched out his ten fingers, and slowly touched the keyboard of the piano.
Although this piano is far less refined and sophisticated than the products of the 21st century, and the sound quality is not particularly good, Qin Mubai is already very satisfied. Just as Yao'er said, making such a piano required a group of the best craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty to work hard. To be able to reach this level is a miracle.
"Ding-ding-dong!-Buzz!" Qin Mubai's fingers suddenly pressed several keys.
Everyone present was listening attentively, and at this moment they couldn't help but jumped in surprise.
"What a crisp sound!"
"It's a bit like the sound of a palace chime, but louder and brighter!"
"It's such a magical thing. The sound is so weird! It sounds like a struck gold instrument. No wonder it's called a 'piano'!"
…
Qin Mubai waited for them to discuss for a while, then smiled and said: "Your Highnesses, Shuang'er, Yao'er, and you little girls, playing the piano requires full concentration, so you need a quieter environment. I will talk to you later. During the performance, no matter how excited you are, don’t disturb me by shouting or yelling, otherwise the music that comes out will be unpleasant.”
"Okay." Everyone responded together, and there was an instant Opium War.
Qin Mubai took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and looked for the feeling and inspiration he had when playing the piano in his previous life. Closing his eyes, his hands gracefully and slowly placed on the keyboard.
Princess Gao Yang stared at Qin Mubai with her eyes widened, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Qin Mubai just found some feeling, then he stopped and turned his head angrily, and glared at Princess Gao Yang angrily.
"I apologize, I didn't mean to do it... I just saw the way your hands look, they are more gentle and elegant than a girl's hands, I couldn't help but smile!" Princess Gao Yang covered her mouth and whispered. said.
"Come here, let me hold you down and cover your mouth." Li Ke pulled Princess Gao Yang to his side without any explanation and said to Qin Mubai, "Mubai, you can concentrate on playing your piano."
"Thank you, Your Highness, you have done a great thing." Qin Mubai smiled easily and began to concentrate on playing the piano.
Title of the song, "Destiny" - Beethoven!
Regardless of ancient and modern times or at home and abroad, regardless of language and race, there are two common languages for human beings - sex and music!
When people in the Tang Dynasty heard the famous Beethoven symphony - "Destiny" played on the piano, their shock was indescribable!
In fact, when Qin Mubai played the first few notes of this piece vigorously, everyone's souls trembled!
The song "Destiny" is the climax from the beginning. For those who have never heard this song, it is a baptism for the ears, eyes and even the soul. Those passionate and smart notes were like a swift hammer hitting fragile glass, making everyone tremble and tremble. It is like knocking on the door of destiny, enlightening people's souls and igniting the fire of life in an instant!
…
When Qin Mubai played, he was also more engaged than ever before. It was as if he had returned to his previous life, to the most familiar piano room in his home where he had practiced piano since he was a child. Standing next to him was his mother, watching her son play the piano with a smile and pride.
For a moment, Qin Mubai didn't know whether he was living in the past life or this life. It was as if his soul was traveling rapidly at this moment, shuttling in the river of destiny in two completely different lives, sinking again and again, and jumping out again and again. water surface.
Enjoyable!
His fingers were flying, and his body was shaking rhythmically unconsciously, as if those notes had merged with him and were flowing out of his body...
The song is over!
Qin Mubai took a deep breath, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.
I don’t know whether it’s because my body has never played piano before and my fingers are a little uncomfortable, or because I’m too forgetful and devoted. At this moment, he was actually in a daze. It wasn't until I turned around and saw the dumbfounded people around me that I suddenly understood - I was in the Tang Dynasty, playing the only piano in China to this day!
"What's wrong with you?" Qin Mubai blinked and asked Li Ke and others.
"Uh..." Li Ke lost his composure for a rare moment, moved his stiff cheeks and swallowed dryly, "It's okay. It's just... it's so surprising."
"Wow - wow wow!" Princess Gao Yang had jumped up and almost jumped into the air towards Qin Mubai - "Guy surnamed Qin, I would rather not be this princess than listen to you playing the piano every day! This is heaven. The best music down there!”
"Teacher... is indeed a god-like existence, beyond the reach of human beings!" Yao'er exclaimed.
"Third brother, you are so amazing! - Are you really my third brother?" In fact, the one who was most surprised was Qin Shuang'er. She and Qin Mubai grew up together and were the most familiar with him. But in the short time of less than a stick of incense, she clearly felt that the "third brother" in front of her was not the person she was familiar with. The piano and the music alone were enough to surprise her, but the look and expression he showed when he played the piano just now was like another person!
"Wow, it sounds great!" A group of little girls also shouted in surprise.
The scene suddenly became very lively and out of control.
…
After a long time.
The piano was put away in the box and then covered with a curtain as usual.
"Things are rare and valuable, and this instrument can be called a treasure in the world. Miss Yao'er, would it be unsafe to put it here with you?" Li Ke said, "I mean, since it is a unique treasure in the world, it is inevitable that evil will happen. Life is not about your heart, I’m afraid I’ll get you into trouble.”
"His Royal Highness King Wu is rightly worried." Yao'er said hurriedly, "Yao'er is alone. If someone comes to seize it, he will be unable to protect the treasure. Yao'er's life is not worth cherishing, and he is afraid that it will implicate these poor little girls. My dear, I'm even more afraid of losing my mentor's piano! Why don't you, Your Highness, please move this piano to your palace so that it can be kept well?"
"Mubai, what do you mean?" Li Ke looked at Qin Mubai.
"I don't agree!" Before Qin Mubai could speak, Princess Gaoyang took the lead and said, "Originally, this piano was given to Miss Yao'er by the guy named Qin. Why did it need to be moved to the fourth brother's house? Besides, it's just It's just a musical instrument. It's not about real money. What's there to be afraid of? Even if someone might want to take it away, we have the best protector here in the world. Isn't it easy for him to make this place safe? "
"What do you mean by this?" Qin Mubai asked.
"The meaning is very simple!" Yao'er said with a smile, "I'm going to tell my father and ask him to ask for a team of hundreds of cavalry to protect me! Then, I will ask this team of hundreds of cavalry to protect Shuang'er's courtyard. Of course, I will come here often in the future, and even stay here for a short time - I like it so much! Also, I want to spend money to build this place into a beautiful mansion!"
"Don't!" Qin Mubai waved his hand, "Ask the emperor for Baiqi. That is your right and freedom and I have no right to interfere. But if you want to build a villa, don't make trouble. Yao'er is Yao'er, she lives in She is comfortable and accustomed to a place like this. You have to know that she is not you. She will definitely not be able to adapt to the sudden change of environment. Moreover, this is a job of recruiting people and repairing the village, which will disturb the tranquility and ruin the smell of the place. . In this case, what’s the difference between this place and the harem you live in?”
"Disturbing the tranquility and spoiling the smell? What do you mean? Do you know how to speak? I clearly mean well!" Princess Gaoyang shouted angrily.
"Stop - don't quarrel, don't quarrel! I get a headache when I hear the quarrel!" Li Ke hurriedly rushed out to stand between the two of them and said with a smile, "Let's be like this, I will be the peacemaker, and we will take a middle-of-the-road approach. - There is no need to alert the emperor to work again. Don't I have hundreds of idle soldiers in my house? I will just send a team of people to do the bidding of Yao'er - well, just treat them like slaves. "
"How can this happen?" Yao'er said hurriedly, "They are His Highness's people. Aren't they supposed to protect and serve His Highness? How could they be sent to this thatched cottage of a common girl?"
"It doesn't matter. They were originally sent by me to punish me. This is a task I assigned, and they must complete it." Li Ke smiled and said, "And don't worry, Yao'er, you can absolutely trust the people I sent. It's not anyone else." , it is Yin Yang who has the best relationship with Qin Mubai. This person is experienced and smart, and will definitely not interfere with your normal life, Yao'er, what do you think?"
Yao'er thought about it for a moment, but looked confused and couldn't make a decision, so he had to say to Qin Mubai, "Yao'er will listen to my teacher."
Qin Mubai thought for a while and said: "Actually, I am not happy to disturb the tranquility here and affect Yao'er's originally peaceful life. But since His Highness has said so... then thank you for your kindness!"
"That's the best!" Li Ke laughed heartily, "From now on, besides the best wine in the world, I have many good places to go!"
Princess Gaoyang clapped her hands and giggled: "I'm coming too, I'm coming too! I'm coming every day! Guy named Qin, from now on we won't practice pipa by the Yushui Bridge every evening. We'll ride on you when you finish your work. Come out of the palace quickly and teach me how to play the piano!"
"I'm coming too..." Qin Shuang'er glanced at Li Ke, whose face turned red, and said softly, "I'm here to help sister Yao'er take care of these little girls, and I also want to learn piano! - Three Brother, just listen to Her Royal Highness and come here often when you have time, okay?"
Qin Mubai blinked his eyes and looked at the group of people who were staring at him, and sighed helplessly: "It is inevitable to defy fate, it seems that I have no choice at all!"
