Chapter 9 Decryption of the Piano Room(1/2)
As usual at night, Cao Wan taught Guan Hao Fengshui and field archaeology. As a family of Jinshiwei, understanding Fengshui and field archaeology is the basic skill of the Jinshiweiwei.
In ancient times, high-standard tombs strictly followed the Feng Shui layout. Generally speaking, there would be large tombs in places with dragon veins.
So if you find the dragon vein, you will have the opportunity to find a large tomb. Of course, finding a large tomb may not necessarily lead to good things.
Just as there is a dragon vein, it may not be able to be buried well, because the acupuncture point and the burial time cannot be different at all.
h The country has a vast land and a wealth of materials, with hundreds of thousands of dragon veins, and thousands of years of history. It has high-ranking officials, nobles, nobles, ordinary people... Everyone wants to bury a dragon's cave to benefit future generations.
The gold-touching clan must not only be proficient in Feng Shui and archaeology, but also have a comprehensive understanding of history, metaphor, physics, chemistry, etc.
Therefore, with comprehensive abilities, the Cao family must be better than the Guan family.
During the period of time with the beautiful girl, Guan Hao not only took good care of Cao Wan every day, but also practiced martial arts every day, and also learned about Cao Jiajiajia.
Often, people who travel through time will have extremely good learning ability and memory. Guan Hao is no exception. With the knowledge of archaeologists in his previous life, he learned the secrets of the Cao family. He was able to be skilled in learning the secrets of the Cao family in just a few days and entered the palace of the Cao family’s Xueyuan. This is what it means to enter the house!
Seeing Guan Hao progressing rapidly, Cao Wan was also very pleased.
Which teacher is not happy and proud of the promising genius students!
Cao Wan didn't care that this was her unique skill of the Cao family's secret journey. As long as she knew, she would teach Guan Hao all the way. Guan Hao not only learned it.
He will also learn from his own understanding. In this way, he will communicate with Cao Wan, which will make Cao Wan suddenly enlightened. Both sides benefited a lot from communicating with each other.
In the face of profound knowledge, two genius boys grew up like fish in water in this rare time.
Another day after returning from Beifeng. With Haozai's careful care, Wan'er's injury has basically healed, but the point of stress still hurts.
But this does not affect the two of them studying and exploring together on this paradise-like Bailu Island.
It was another sunny day in the morning. The two of them had practiced their skills and had breakfast. While the sun was not too poisonous, they came out to explore.
Bailu Island is not big but it reveals mystery everywhere. Based on the current situation, Bailu Island should have been the private island of the Huang family in Xiguan, and later it was presented to establish a leprosy hospital.
In the end, I abandoned it for no reason.
How much does the Huang family buried on the island have to do with the Guan family?
In fact, it was something Guan Hao had always wanted to figure it out.
The two walked in front of a separate courtyard, and through the cracks of the locked iron door, you could see: this is an exquisite building complex that is obviously different from other architectural styles. In this Chinese-style building and modern buildings, Bailu Island looks particularly conspicuous, and it also feels out of place and stands out from the crowd.
Because this is a completely Western-style courtyard, the main building is a white two-story villa built in marble. There is a fountain pool in front of the villa, and further ahead is a small lawn.
"The door is locked, I can't get in!"
"Look at a place where the courtyard wall collapses in front, let's walk in from there and take a look!"
Haozi naturally grabbed Guan Wan's hand and was about to run forward.
"Slow down, are my legs so fast?" Wan'er's pretty face turned slightly red by being grabbed by Guan Hao's powerful hands.
Guan Hao nodded, and walked slowly towards the gap with his right arm around Wan'er's right arm.
Cao Wan didn't think it was wrong, so she just hugged her half and snuggled into Haozi's arms, and walked along Haozi's gap like a little wife, lowering her head and blushing her face.
The two of them walked into the yard, walked through the lawn, passed the fountain pool, and followed the white marble stone steps to the small western-style building. When they pushed the door, the door was not locked.
Entering the small western-style building, although the small building has experienced the baptism of time, it can still be described as "exquisite".
The whole house is made of white marble, and the huge crystal chandeliers are extraordinary at first glance. The furniture in the building is made of precious mahogany in Western style. There is a fireplace in the building. There is a quaint and elegant piano next to the fireplace, which looks like a Stanway piano.
Haozi couldn't help but step forward, lifted the cover of the piano keys, and stroked his fingers, and suddenly remembered the pleasant melody!
"This is the 1938 limited edition, my god! Keys made of ivory, grand piano made of precious red maple.
This is specially designed for the climate and environment of Guangzhou.
Oh my god! This is a perfect work of art and a priceless antique. How could it be here?"
Guan Hao stood upright as if he had changed his body, sitting on the stool, his fingers touching the white keys. Soon, the classical romantic song "To Alice" sounded in the room.
Guan Hao was completely intoxicated by this perfect tone, his flexible fingers instantly slashing on the ivory keys, and his face was full of tears. There was once a girl sitting beside her listening to his playing "To Alice". Later, the girl became his wife. Now he traveled through time and in 1995, but his lover who was supporting each other will never meet each other through time and space.
Cao Wan was also completely intoxicated by this moving music and could not extricate herself. The boy in front of her was simple, kind, generous, studious and motivated, and even able to play a master-level piano.
This mysterious boy instantly touched her. She once fantasized that his husband would play the piano for him in the future, so she sat quietly beside her husband, looking at him silently, and keeping happy like this. Before she knew it, Wan'er was already in tears.
I don’t know how long it took, but the melodious and gentle sound of the piano stopped. The two moved people silently paid attention to each other.
"I didn't expect you to play the piano and play it very well!"
"Yes, I've been playing for decades!"
“???”
"Why are you big man crying!"
"I miss home!"
"Did you cry when you miss home?"
"Yes! I miss home too!"
"You play the piano so nicely. Can you play it for me again in the future?"
"Of course, I'll play whenever you want to listen!"
"Yeah! You-so-good!"
"Go up and take a look!" Haozai walked towards the stairs with Wan'er's arm.
The second floor is where you live and live.
The furnishings and decoration on the second floor are not as bright and gorgeous as the first floor, and are mainly practical, rustic and natural.
The floor is a precious mahogany hard floor. Looking at the accumulated dust, you will know that no one has used it in decades.
Guan Hao helped Cao Wan and pushed open the door of a room near the stairs.
A stale smell came to my face. Guan Hao quickly opened the blinds in the room to ventilate the room. With the inflow of fresh air, the smell became much weaker.
The dim light was also much brighter, and the ventilation and sunshine of the house were pretty good.
There is a small desk next to the window, which is also made of mahogany. The thick dust on it makes it look even more ancient and heavy.
Looking at the neatly placed pens, ink, paper and inkstone in front of the desk, it shows that the owner of the house was a cultural person before.
The table table faces north and south, the wall is backing the mountain, and there is a pair of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, with vigorous and powerful running script: "The best is like water" and the signature: Yang *shen wrote in the New Year of Wuyin in Bailu Xiaolu.
"Yang *shen, one of the four masters of the second generation of Guannan School of Painting, is best at calligraphy and painting.
This is the pinnacle of the middle period. Look at these four words: the brush and ink are old, clever and clumsy, and the heroic yet elegant, and the style of Yang *shen in Guannan School of Painting.
This calligraphy is a masterpiece from Yang *Shen's peak period." Guan Hao's previous life, as a well-known expert in studying the Guannan School of Painting, naturally knew Yang Shenshan's works well.
"Looking at the signature, this villa is called Xiaolu. Which year is the year of Wuyin?" Cao Wan, who was full of admiration, continued Guan Hao's words and asked.
Haozi calculated: "In 1938, this word was written in 1938! Yang Shenshan's handwriting is rare, this word is valuable!"
"Hey! This is Yuan blue and white, as well as Dehua Kiln, Cizao Kiln, Jingdezhen, Longquan Kiln... The racks are full of famous porcelains, my god! How is it possible?" The little girl from the Cao family exclaimed in surprise.
Guan Hao's eyes were also attracted by her to the antique shelf next to the desk.
The entire room is divided into two functional areas, one is a desk to make a study room, and the other is a tea table made of Huanghuali to be used as a tea room. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
Guan Hao walked to the ancient shelf excitedly and looked at it. It was really famous porcelain.
The Cao family girl had already picked up a blue and white porcelain and walked to the window. She carefully looked at the blue and white porcelain in her hand with the help of the light by the window: "No, the glaze of this blue and white porcelain is relatively dull, and the emerald is very heavy. Could it be that it is a sea-fetched porcelain?"
"Let me see!" Haozai took the blue and white porcelain and looked at it in the bright light.
"Well, you see, this is obvious water salt. This object must have been caught in the sea.
If you smell the light saltiness of the sea water, you must be sure to catch porcelain at sea! And it will take no more than a hundred years."
Cao Wan looked at the bottom carefully again: "This is produced by a private kiln, and the style is the same as that of exported porcelain."
Haozi brought the porcelain from other kilns and looked at it carefully: without exception, they were all exported haystack porcelain.
The two were somewhat disappointed, but after all, these exquisite porcelains were all porcelains from the Song and Yuan dynasties. Although they were exported folk kiln objects, they were at least first-class cultural relics by standards.
This study and tea room really gives people a lot of surprises, but even bigger surprises are still behind.
The style of the Huanghuali tea table is simple and heavy, and its workmanship and materials are exquisite, but compared with the four plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum screens on the back wall, they can only be considered ordinary.
Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum are: plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemums. They were called "Four Gentlemen" by the ancients. They represent four extraordinary qualities: arrogance, secludedness, firmness, and lightness. They are usually used in paintings, and painters use the "Four Gentlemen" to show off the noble character of a gentleman.
"Wan'er, look, these four screens are the most precious in this room." Guan Hao said to Cao Wan excitedly.
"In the spring of the 16th year of the Republic of China, I expressed my joy in brother Bingtian's fun, and my father," Wan'er looked at the signature of the screen and said.
"This is the original work of Gao *, the founder of the Guannan School of Painting. It was specially created to celebrate the birth of a daughter for this family. In the 16th year of the Republic of China, it was......"
"The 16th year of the Republic of China was 1927." Wan'er then calculated the topic quickly and blurted out.
"Gao*'s father is good at freehand painting and can also paint fine brushwork. He can do everything in landscapes, characters, feathers, flowers, and even grasses, insects, animals and animals.
He boldly integrated various traditional painting techniques, and also borrowed from Japanese painting and Western painting. He attached great importance to perspective and three-dimensionality, bold colors and other expression techniques, and focused on sketching, thus creating his own new style. Gao*'s father's landscape is magnificent, with brushwork similar to Ma Yuan and Xia Gui, with horizontal chops and vertical chops, dry brushes flying white, and he saw strength in his beauty.
This work is also its pinnacle. "Haozai becomes more and more excited as she speaks, and Wan'er is stunned.
"At a young age, how can you know so much!"
