At that time, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan went shopping in Tonglin County and went to a piano store to buy a piano. However, because they saw Si Lingxi's piano, the Longyin, which was regarded as a treasure by the shopkeeper, was also sold to Lu Zheng. Sifted out.
At the same time, Lu Zheng also knew a name, Ouyang Ku, the master of piano playing in Zhongjing.
He was thinking that the next time he went to Zhongjing, he would go find this luther maker to build a qin for himself. However, there were too many things to do next. If he hadn't happened to see a phoenix-tailed qin being sold, he would have wanted it. Forgot about it.
So Lu Zheng talked about it.
"There is also Wanmei." Liu Qingyan couldn't help but snicker, "At that time, we promised Wanmei that we would take her over when we get to Zhongjing."
As a result, it was already the third day. Everyone had returned from Chixiao Temple and had not yet gone to Blue Star to pick up Lin Wan.
Lu Zheng blinked, "Don't worry, she's at work. Tomorrow is the weekend. I'll pick her up tomorrow."
Shen Ying laughed when she heard this, "You can time travel, you have the final say."
"But I don't know where Master Ouyang Ku lives?" Lu Zheng rubbed his chin.
"The person who knows is here." Si Lingxi said lightly and looked back.
Everyone looked around and saw Jing Qianyu walking quickly, accompanied by a maid and two guards.
"Master Lu! Sisters!"
Jing Qianyu greeted from a distance, and then quickly came to a few people, "I heard from Lao Huang that you are back and shopping in Guangdefang. My little sister happened to have nothing to do, so she came over to join in the fun."
"You came just in time, we have something to ask you!" Shen Ying said with a smile.
"What's going on?" Jing Qianyu asked, blinking her big eyes.
These were the top experts that Jing Gaoqi brought home. Jing Qianyu didn't dare to neglect them, so when he heard that they were back, he packed up and came all the way to find them.
Moreover, when they first met and chatted the day before yesterday, except for Si Lingxi who was a little aloof, Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying were both very kind, so she didn't mind going shopping with them at all.
Shen Ying asked, "Is there a Qin master in Zhongjing named Ouyang Ku?"
"Master Ouyang?" Jing Qianyu's eyes moved when he heard this, and he nodded decisively, "Yes, Master Ouyang is known as the best piano player in the past two hundred years."
"Good guy, you are still the best piano player in two hundred years?" Lu Zheng clicked his tongue, "But why two hundred years? Is there anything else you can say two hundred years ago?"
Jing Qianyu was stunned when asked, because she had also heard that such a title only showed that Ouyang Ku's superb piano playing skills, but why it was two hundred years, not one hundred years or three hundred years, she did not think about it carefully. I don’t know either!
By the way, you just know that Ouyang Ku is very powerful. Why is your focus so strange?
Jing Qianyu didn't answer, and Lu Zheng didn't care. He just asked, "Do you know where Master Ouyang lives? I want him to help me make a piano."
"I know." Jing Qianyu nodded subconsciously, then immediately reacted and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "But I want him to play the piano, but it's a bit... difficult."
"Oh, what should I say?" Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"In the fifty years since Master Ouyang became famous, he has only made nine pianos by himself."
Jing Qianyu said seriously, "Master Ouyang only cut the qin because of others. Unless he is a peerless luthier, he will never cut the qin. Twenty years ago, one of the emperor's favorite concubines loved the qin and wanted to ask Master Ouyang to cut the qin for her. But he was still rejected and unmoved.”
"Understood." Lu Zheng nodded, "In other words, if you want Master Ouyang to play the piano, you still have to prove your piano skills?"
"That...is exactly..."
Jing Qianyu was a little worried that Lu Zheng would be unhappy and said hurriedly, "It is said that Master Ouyang is also a strange person. Once, the Qintian Supervisor invited him to drink tea and begged him to play the piano, but he refused.
"So powerful?" Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows. Although he had never seen Jian Zheng from Qin Tian Prison, he had heard of it. Anyway, he was more powerful than him.
"Yeah!" Jing Qianyu nodded repeatedly, "However, although Master Ouyang does not play qin, he has many disciples in Zhongjing. Several of them have learned their qin-playing skills early and are as famous as many qin-playing masters in Zhongjing. Gao Shanjun's Yufei Yaoqin is also a famous product of his eldest disciple, Master Liu Yi.
If Mr. Lu is interested, the young lady can introduce Master Liu Yi on his behalf.
Oh, by the way, Mr. Gao Shan is the brother-in-law of Marquis Jingyuan, a Taoist from Pingdong, and the owner of the Yufei Qin Society in Zhongjing. He is one of the best in Zhongjing for his piano skills. "
"How does Master Liu Yi compare with Master Ouyang?"
"It should still be slightly worse." Jing Qianyu said matter-of-factly, "It is said that Gao Shanjun wanted to ask Master Ouyang to cut the qin, and even played a piece specially for Master Ouyang. Unfortunately, Master Ouyang refused, so Liu Yi Take action.”
Jing Qianyu continued, "Actually, Master Liu Yi is already very powerful. He and Master Ouyang's other two true disciples are known as the Three Heroes of Kumen. Their reputation is not inferior to that of Liuzhai Jushi and Shimenshanren. The latter two are also famous. A master of qin, a Yaoqin, has tens of thousands of strings."
"So expensive!" Liu Qingyan exclaimed.
One thousand guan is the only amount. Ordinary people may not earn 10,000 guan in their lifetime. The Fengwei Qin bought by Lu Zheng is already considered a good instrument from Yizhou Prefecture, and it only costs less than 30 guan.
"I know." Lu Zheng nodded, "If Ouyang Kuzhen can make a good piano, it doesn't matter if he plays a few more songs, let alone one song."
A true master of qin playing all tunes the qin based on the person. In order to fit in with the player's habits, he not only listens to the player's playing, but also measures the player's height, arm span, hand length, finger spacing, and so on.
"ah?"
Hearing Lu Zheng's words, Jing Qianyu couldn't help but was stunned again. I've been talking for so long, haven't you listened?
Seeing Jing Qianyu's cute yet confused look, Shen Ying couldn't help but smile and patted the little girl on the shoulder, "Don't worry, after listening to Lu Lang's music, Ouyang Ku will make the right choice. "
Jing Qianyu could only nod awkwardly, but it was hard to say anything else. It couldn't be said that many piano players who went to Ouyang Ku thought like this before they were rejected by him.
"Where does Master Ouyang live?" Lu Zheng asked Jing Qianyu.
"Fuxingfang Kucha Zhai."
"Sounds like a tea seller."
"Master Ouyang likes to drink bitter tea. In addition, his name contains the word "bitter", so he named his residence Kucha Zhai." Jing Qianyu explained.
So a few people left Guangdefang and came to Fuxingfang. They soon moved to a relatively quiet street and came to Kucha Zhai.
"The little girl Jing Qianyu from Prince Lingwu's palace wants to see Master Ouyang."
"Guys, please wait a moment." The waiter at the door looked at Jing Qianyu and his party, walked out after a while, "We have some distinguished guests, the host has invited us."
Thanks to Taoist friend 08a for the hundred rewards, and to book friend 20230310233404719 for the two hundred rewards.
