"Good piano, it is indeed a good piano." Anya let out a long breath, and looked at Ye Yinzhu's eyes that had changed a little. She never expected that Ye Yinzhu's piano skills were so superb that that piece of piano music made her feel a little overwhelmed, and even thought of her hometown.

It was not the first time for Sura to listen to Ye Yinzhu play the piano, but this was the most complete one. Without the direct impact of the magic of the piano, she was completely immersed in the mystery brought by the sound of the piano. It reminded her so much that she almost cried.

"I'm showing my ugliness. I don't have much time to practice in the academy recently. I'm afraid I'll be unfamiliar." The sound of the piano can bring beauty to others, and it can also bring good feelings to Ye Yinzhu. After playing a nearly perfect "Qiu Hong", he was refreshed and felt indescribably comfortable all over his body. The clear air between the heart and lungs floats, and the whole body seems to have entered a specific rhythm. Under such circumstances, the magic power of the zither naturally increases.

"Miss Anya, I didn't expect you to invite such a noble luthier, and he is still so young. It seems that if I don't come to report every day in the future, I will really be sorry for my ears! Hahahaha." The old and vigorous voice It sounded again, this time he was speaking to Anya.

Ye Yinzhu turned around and looked in the direction of the old voice, and saw that it was an old man in a blue gown, walking towards the direction of the three of them. From the poems the old man sang just now, Ye Yinzhu knew that this old man must have a deep understanding of qin music. He quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Hello, old sir."

The old man is tall, with a simple and heavy appearance. Although he is dressed in simple clothes, he is as distinctive as a pine tree standing proudly. Between the opening and closing of his eyes, the light occasionally flashes, which is breathtaking. A head of silver-white long hair hangs over his shoulders, looking very casual.

"A man of virtue is the end of nature, a man of music is a man of virtue; the virtue of the qin can be seen from the sound of the qin. The little brother plays the qin so well, which shows the heart. Not bad, not bad. Such a good young man is rare. Already." After speaking, he patted Ye Yinzhu's shoulder appreciatively. His hands are very wide, warm and powerful. With gentle pats, Ye Yinzhu felt a trace of hot air running into his body for a week, and it actually brought him a somewhat comfortable feeling. The bamboo fighting spirit in his body seemed to be pulled slightly increased.

Anya saw the old man approaching, but she didn't get up, her face was even covered with a layer of chill, she just said lightly: "Sure enough, the old horse knows the way, you came early. It's a pity, but it ruined my elegance."

The old man showed a wry smile, "Okay, okay, I was wrong. However, Miss Anya, can I still hear such a moving piano sound here in the future? Can you get the four meanings of the piano, which are clear, subtle, light, and far away? There are too few luthiers."

Hearing the old man's praise of Ye Yinzhu, Anya showed a smile, turned to Yinzhu and said, "You heard me, this is a frequent visitor of my Piaolanxuan, his taste is very tricky, even his I appreciate you, it is not selfish for me to keep you here as a luthier. Relying on labor to get paid, you can no longer refuse."

Ye Yinzhu turned his head to look at Sura. At this time, Sura hadn't fully recovered from the piano music just now, and ignored him.

"Okay. There is work there, and I can often see my sister here." Ye Yinzhu showed a smile without any impurities. Playing the piano is the best practice for him, and he can earn some tuition and living expenses. What is he not to agree to

"You, what do you call her?" The old man looked at Ye Yinzhu dumbfounded, and then quickly turned to Anya, "Is he your brother?"

Anya said coldly: "You have nothing to do with my affairs. If you talk too much, you will leave here, and Piao Lanxuan will no longer welcome you."

There was a trace of bitterness on the old man's face, "Couldn't your temper be a little bit better? Anyway, we are also old friends." Judging from his age, the old man can be Anya's grandfather, but in terms of tone, he seems to be very fond of Anya. Very respectful.

Anya ignored him, turned to Ye Yinzhu and said, "Yinzhu, how much do you want to pay?"

Ye Yinzhu scratched his head, just in time to reveal the blue ring on his left hand. The old man at the side froze when he saw the ring, and his expression became a bit weird.

"Sister Anya, it doesn't matter how much you pay. Su La is my roommate, can you also keep him here to work with me. We don't need much, ten silver coins a day is enough for our expenses."

At this moment, Sura had come to his senses. Hearing that Ye Yinzhu had asked for a waiter's price, he couldn't help pinching him from behind, and hurriedly said, "It doesn't matter to me, as long as I don't separate from Yinzhu. But Yinzhu It’s a luthier, can you pay more? It’s not easy to find a luthier like him. Yinzhu is a genius among the first-year students of the Divine Music Department.”

Anya ignored Sura, just looked at Ye Yinzhu and said, "Silly boy, there is no luthier whose salary is so low. In my place, even an ordinary waiter earns one gold coin a day. I know you are peaceful by nature. , I am very indifferent to money. How about this, your salary is only ten gold coins a day. As for this little brother Sula, let him stay here as a waiter. It doesn’t matter if there is one more person.”

"No, no, Sister Anya, this is too much." Ten gold coins a day. That's ten gold coins! You know, the monthly expenses of an ordinary family are only one or two gold coins.

Anya smiled and said, "As long as I think it's worth it. If you don't believe me, ask this old Mr. Ma if your piano sound is worth the price."

Before Ye Yinzhu could ask, the old horse nodded sincerely and said, "It's worth it, it's definitely worth it. I don't think ten gold coins is much. How can such a beautiful piano sound be measured by money?"

Anya surprisingly didn't refute him this time, and said with a smile: "Look, I still took advantage of you. That's it. Since you have come today, stay and get acquainted with the environment. If you come to work in the afternoon, then It is our main business hours. You are all students, so don’t use it when you have classes, so as not to delay your studies.”

Absolutely generous treatment, not to mention Ye Yinzhu, even Sura's salary of one gold coin per day, don't even think about it in other places, ordinary local waiters don't have such a high salary.

Piaolanxuan is divided into three floors, one of which is the lobby with ten tea tables in total, and the second floor is private rooms with six rooms. The third floor is Anya's private residence, even Piao Lanxuan's waiters can't go up easily. The three-story building looks huge from the outside, but in fact, it can only accommodate sixteen tables of guests at the same time.

The lunch was rich, and Ye Yinzhu and Sura ate with all the waiters. The service staff in Piaolanxuan were all men, and the leader was the one who Ye Yinzhu and Sura saw first in blue Clothed waiter.

"Brother Dida, Piaolanxuan is so big, but why are there only so few tea tables? Can it make money?" Ye Yinzhu asked curiously. .
