Chapter 7 Young Master is going to play
"This...shopkeeper, are you sure? There is really Sheyan? Sheyan from Shexian!"
After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Su Shi's eyes lit up, he stepped forward and asked again.
"That's right, it's Sheyan from She County. Why, you are interested, lord?"
Facing Su Shi, the shopkeeper is still respectful. Who can let others talk to Mr. Wen?
"Okay! I really didn't expect that a merchant could take out Sheyan inkstones for an event during the Chinese New Year! I must go and have a look!"
After receiving the shopkeeper's affirmative answer, Su Shi's interest was suddenly aroused.
Gao Qiu didn't understand what was wrong with Su Shi. Seeing Wen Yanbo beside him also stroking his beard and laughing, he couldn't help but pulling Lawen Yanbo's clothes and asked in a low voice: "Grandpa, what are you laughing at? Is there any big good thing?"
"Good thing? Haha! It's not just a good thing! A piece of She inkstone is usually placed in normal times, I'm afraid your father will never be willing to buy it!"
Wen Yanbo smiled, remembering Su Shi's usual tense life, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"What's the reason? What's wrong with Sheyan? Is it very expensive?"
Regarding Wen Yanbo's words, Gao Qiu immediately thought that this Sheyan was more expensive. As for the statement of "your father", he automatically ignored it.
"She inkstone comes from Longwei Mountain in She County. It was originally mined during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty. Its prosperity should have been in the Southern Tang Dynasty, especially Li Yu, the latter leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty. This person's admiration for She inkstone is unparalleled. He specially appointed an inkstone officer to make She inkstone and regarded it as an official inkstone. In our dynasty, She inkstone was loved by many literati and scholars. Needless to say, Zizhan died, and Mr. Ouyang also loved She inkstone very much!"
Liu Zhi, who was standing aside, spoke at the right time to explain to Gaoqiu. He could see that Wen Yanbo liked the child in front of him very much.
"Mr. Ouyang? Could it be Ouyang Feng?"
He whispered and turned his eyes and found that no one found that he was disrespectful to "Mr. Ouyang". Gao Qiu felt relieved.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was naturally only Ouyang Xiu. The names of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties must be clearly known when they were in high school in Gaoqiu.
Gao Qiu was complaining here, and the shopkeeper couldn't help it. He bowed to Wen Yanbo, and the shopkeeper spoke, "Sir, if there is nothing to do, you can rest here first. I will leave my sixth son here. Just find him if you have anything to do, outside..."
"I know you're busy! Just go!"
Wen Yanbo is naturally not the kind of unreasonable old man. He just waved his hand and signaled the shopkeeper to his own way.
"Okay! Sir, please rest!"
He took the food box full of rice cakes from the guy's hand, and the shopkeeper greeted Wen Yanbo and turned around and went outside.
Gaoqiu raised his ears and focused on the sounds on the streets outside. Sure enough, in addition to the laughter and joy of pedestrians, there were also musical sounds. Although most Gaoqiu cannot tell which instrument it is, he has heard some of the sounds of guqin, guzheng and pipa, and at this time he knew the general types of instruments.
Seeing that the shopkeeper had already left, Su Shi could not hold back. He was the one who liked Sheyan. He was a little short of money because he was repeatedly criticized and could not afford Sheyan on weekdays, but now he has a free opportunity, and even Su Shi is ready to move.
"What? Zizhan, are you interested?"
Wen Yanbo is such a smart person. He knew what Su Shi was thinking when he saw him.
"That... Master, look..."
Wen Yanbo is here, and when he was buying rice just now, someone obviously helped him. Su Shi wanted to leave the rice shop to go to the conference, so he always had to say hello to others.
"Okay! Go! Go! During the Chinese New Year, officials and people should have had fun together. Such a good thing, so naturally I should join in the fun. Liu Zhi, do you have something to do?"
Wen Yanbo's thin big hand was pressing against Gao Qiu's little head, and turned his head to look at Liu Zhi beside him.
"Ha! Your boss is superfluous in asking questions. I was just here to go shopping for lanterns, so what else is there? The shopkeeper said just now, I'm also interested. Since you've spoken, why don't you go and have a look together?"
Without hesitation at all, Liu Zhi responded that Wen Yanbo came out today to join in the fun. How could he not go to see the fun?
"Okay! Guy, go and put a few more rice cakes for me!"
After unifying the opinions of several people, Wen Yanbo naturally stopped talking nonsense, but before leaving, he asked the young man to take a few pieces of rice cakes. Of course, it was not Wen Yanbo wanted to eat it, but was pretending to Gao Qiu and Su Guo.
A few people left the rice shop and walked towards the street entrance. Sure enough, there was a high platform standing at the street entrance. It looked like that. It was obvious that today was not the first day. There were many people in front of the platform, and they were about to block the street entrance. The grand scene could be seen from here.
When we arrived next to the platform, the shopkeeper of the rice shop had been waiting aside. He was obedient and listened to the sound. The shopkeeper naturally thought that Wen Yanbo and the others were coming. After all, Su Shi was already interested. It was obviously impossible for Wen Yanbo to squeeze in front of the platform. The shopkeeper of the rice shop called a few guys and set up a place next to the platform, putting up a table and chairs, and asked Wen Yanbo and others to leave.
There were also several people sitting there when milking, Gaoqiu and others, but it seemed that they were all wealthy businessmen, such as Wen Yanbo and Liu Zhi, who were really not as high-ranking officials as Wen Yanbo and Liu Zhi. However, there were also children among these people. A few little girls looked at the high ball stuffed into their mouths with rice cakes, and they covered their mouths and laughed, and kept rolling their eyes.
Gao Qiu is not very interested in music, but the music played on the high platform is quite good, and the lyrics are a little familiar. When you listen carefully, it turns out to be Liu Sanbian's lyrics, which makes Gao Qiu interested.
Although Gao Qiu was not interested in these things, Su Shi had it, especially the interest in Sheyan, which was even more intense. After listening to the piano music for a while, his brows frowned.
"What? Zizhan, do you think they are not playing well?"
Wen Yanbo noticed Su Shi's strangeness and asked. After all, Su Shi was more proficient in piano music than Wen Yanbo.
"That's not..." Su Shi shook his head, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face. "If it were about piano skills, the woman on the stage now surpassed me. Even if I have seen a piano player for so many years, only a few people can compare with him. However, since this change... I can't get Sheyan!"
"Ah? Haha! It turns out that it is for this! But Zizhan, you won't forget it, right? The shopkeeper of the rice shop said just now that no matter what kind of musical instrument it is, as long as it is played well, you can get the prize. If the piano skills are not good, you can always compare with something else, right?"
After hearing Su Shi's words, Liu Zhi couldn't help laughing. Su Shi was so honest, he could not help but be happy.
"But... I don't know any other instruments except the piano!"
Only now did Su Shi regret that he had not practiced his piano skills. If his piano skills were as bright as his own writing music, he would not have to be so embarrassed.
"This... seems to be the same!"
Liu Zhi looked embarrassed and couldn't help looking at Wen Yanbo who had just looked at him.
Indeed, Su Shi was knowledgeable and talented, good at everything, and omnipotent. However, this knowledge is extensive and is often synonymous with "not proficient". For the piano playing, many people have experienced Su Shi's mastery of piano music. However, although playing the piano is good, it cannot be considered far superior to ordinary people after all, let alone other musical instruments. I can only say that I understand a little, and I can't even talk about being familiar with it.
"Or...I'll go up and try?"
After swallowing the rice cake in his mouth, Gao Qiu became interested at this time. Of course, it was not that he was vaguely interested, but because the little girl next to him kept making faces at him, which made him feel interested.
"This...can you?"
Su Shi was naturally worried about Gao Qiu, but Su Shi was also worried about Sheyan.
"Try it! I'm just a kid anyway, so it doesn't matter. If someone likes the music I play, wouldn't he make a profit?"
These words were completely what Gao Qiu thought. After all, he was a child, who would be serious about a child?
Similarly, although Liu Zhi and Wen Yanbo were moved, they had no intention of going to the stage at all. It was because of this. They were already very old and were in a high position. If they took a good term on the stage, it would be fine, but if they lost someone, it would not be a joke. It would be enough to spread to their colleagues' ears.
"Okay then! Just go up and play for a while, it will be fine no matter what."
Su Shi also relaxed at this time. After all, no matter how you look at the high ball, it doesn’t seem like you have the possibility of winning. Since that’s the case, it’s actually a good thing to make this child happy. It should have fun during the Chinese New Year.
"Okay! Then I'm going up!"
He patted his hands twice, slapped off the rice cakes standing on his hands, and ran towards the rice shop manager with a slight mouth.
Only Su Guo looked at Gao Qiu's back as he was away and couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "It would be great if the aunt was there. With her piano skills, she would definitely get a Sheyan inkstone!"
Gao Qiu didn't know what Su Guo was talking about behind him. He went to find the shopkeeper of the rice shop, so he naturally talked about the competition. Otherwise, it was just that the platform, with Gao Qiu's figure that was only one meter tall, it was not difficult enough to climb up.
