Sixty-six Guqin Love
Sixty-six
During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a wealthy businessman named Yang and Cai in Suzhou City. He had a business name Boyunzhai and was engaged in antique jade. He had a daughter named Yayun, who was twenty years old. She was not only beautiful, but also proficient in musical rhythm and good at playing the piano.
There is an guqin hidden in Boyunzhai, named "Ruoliang". Where did this zither come from? During the Spring and Autumn Period, Han E, a famous Korean singer, went to Qi State and passed by Yongmen. He was exhausted and had no money. He had no choice but to sing and beg for food. His tactful singing circled in the sky, like a lonely geese singing. Three days after Han E's death, his singing sound seemed to linger and echo between the beams of the roof, which was unforgettable. A zither made by Huayuan, a native of Chu. The color and sound quality of the piano were excellent, and the strings were plucked, and the lingering sound continued. In order to commemorate Han E, he named it Ruoliang.
Raoliang was originally collected by a merchant in Suzhou. Because he lost money in business and urgently needed funds, he reluctantly gave up his love and sold the piano to Boyunzhai for 500 taels of silver. Yang Cai got this name Guqin, as if he had obtained a treasure. His daughter Yayun couldn't put it down. After dinner, she played this Guqin to have fun. Sometimes to attract customers, Yayun rose up and played the piano in the store, and there were many onlookers. This Guqin became famous.
There was a young man in Changzhou City, named Yuan, Shuo, born with a talented person. He could play the piano and sing when he was young, and he liked the piano as if he was a lifelong life. His family took advantage of the ten thousand yuan and was a rich child. Yuan Shuo heard that the guqin was hidden in Boyunzhai, Suzhou, and was itchy and unpleasant. Although his family had the ancient name Qin Feiquan, he still wanted to buy it. He led two servants to carry Feiquan Qin and drove a carriage to Suzhou to Sujihui Inn.
Yuan Shuo was carrying Feiquan and went to Boyunzhai alone. He said that he heard that Guizhai had an guqin lingling with Liang, so he came to visit. He had already watched the zither of Liang to seek pleasure. Yang Cai went out to greet him, communicated his names and greeted him several times, and asked to enter the living room. Yang Cai saw that although Yuan Shuo was thin, his bones were beautiful and clear, and he had no habit of being arrogant in the market. He saw that he came with the guqin, so he asked to play a song. Yuan Shuo did not push him back, put the zither on the desk, sat cross-legged, and played the ancient song "Pingshadow Goose". He saw that his jade fingers were light and relaxed, and his fingers were moving forward and backward, and he was trembling, sometimes slow and sometimes anxious, sometimes high and sometimes low, just like
It was like a wandering silk in the sky, like seeing a group of geese flying across the sky, sweeping down on the flat sand. The song finally collected and attracted Yang Cai to cheer with the servants. Yang Cai asked Yuan Shuo's origin of the Qin, and he said that this guqin was not exhausted. It was a treasure of the family of Tong Guan, a powerful official in the Northern Song Dynasty. He was lost in war and later appeared in the Changzhou market. He bought it for fifty taels of silver. Yang Cai showed off and said, "I have an guqin around Liang. You have heard that it is the thing my little girl loves." Yuan Shuo was moved and hurriedly said, "If you can see the style of Liang, it is a blessing for the younger generation."
Yayun held the beams and came out. Yuan Shuo looked at him, and his eyes shone. He saw a beautiful woman walking into the hall with a slender zither and stretching the beams on the desk. He saw the beams with sycamore as the panels and ivory as the piano horses. The paint surface was smooth and flashing. The body of the piano was upright and symmetrical, with appropriate arches. The surrounding patterns were played by two dragons. Yayun bowed to Yuan Shuo and said, "I heard that you played the piano behind the screen. I am really a master. I feel ashamed of myself. I see that my daughter also plays a song. Please ask you to be handsome." Yuan Shuo stood up and bowed and said, "Miss is too rewarded. I wish to hear the piano sound of the lady and learn it."
The Yaqin came to the seat, and plucked the strings lightly for three or two. Yuan Shuo listened carefully. The four virtues and nine virtues were all complete, ten times better than the flying spring. Yayun played the song "Three Plum Blossoms" and the sound of the piano was melodious and melodious, like a plum blossom blooming in the present. The flowers bloomed three times, and the flowers bloomed few times, and the flowers were hidden even when they were about to be exposed. The second time the large area bloomed, and the trees were red; the third time the flowers bloomed sparsely, and the green buds accompanied them. The sound of the piano showed the beautiful scenery of winter passing and spring coming, and everyone was drunk, as if they were in the bright spring. The end of the song applause was warm and cheered endlessly.
Yuan Shuo couldn't suppress his joy and said shyly, "The song played by the lady is not picky, which makes me admire it very much. This piano can only play such a wonderful sound. Alas! This piano is rare, ten times better than my Feiquan. I am brave enough to ask Manager Yang, can this piano be sold? I am willing to buy it for 500 taels of silver." Yang Cai thought to himself: It turns out that he didn't come to see the piano of Ruliang in the future, but actually came for it. This piano is the treasure of my family, how can it be sold? So he politely refused and said, "I have said that this piano is the love of my little girl. I have no intention of selling it. Please forgive me for Mr. Yuan." Seeing that Yang Cai did not give up, Yuan Shuo bowed and said, "I am willing to go out."
One thousand taels of silver, and I gave my Feiquan piano to the lady. Would you like it?" In the business world, the more the buyer price, the less the seller sold it. Yang Cai shook his head frequently and said, "Young Master Yuan is taking away what others love." Yuan Shuo was already anxious and gritted his teeth and said, "If the shopkeeper Yang is willing to make a fortune, I will lose all my fortune without hesitation." Yayun laughed and said, "Young Master Yuan, don't make fun of it. The things I love are like your own life. If the young master asks for it, it is like taking my life." Then he stood up, hugged the beam and returned to the inner room to avoid it. Yuan Shuo sat there for a long time, sighed helplessly, stood up and said goodbye, and returned in a bad mood.
A few days later, a customer came to Boyunzhai and said that he was looking for antiques here. When he met Yayun playing the piano in the store, he said that he had been making the piano for many years and was good at distinguishing the authenticity of the piano. He said that he was not a treasure, but a fake. When Yang Cai heard about it, he regretted that he had no sales and had to deal with Yuan Shuo. He delayed the transaction of one thousand taels. He paused his feet and rubbed his hands to find Yuan Shuo to sell it. There was a shop clerk who whispered to him and told him, "Don't regret it. I have already recognized this visitor. Yesterday I went to Jihui Inn to do business. I saw Mr. Yuan who came to the door a few days ago and drank with him. He decided to be a lobbyist sent by Mr. Yuan, who was sent here to cheat him." Yang Cai said it and drove the visitor out of the store.
A few days later, another customer came to the door and said that there was a pearl that wanted to be sold, but he didn't know if the store could be collected. Yang Cai knew the goods quite well, and was an expert in the jewelry industry. Seeing the pearl like cherry, it emitted a soft red light when it rolled, and it was a pearl that was estimated to be more than a thousand taels of silver. Yang Cai asked about the price he wanted to sell, but he said he would not take any money, and he only wanted to change it with the Guqin of the Blue Liang when he heard it. Yang Cai suddenly became suspicious and thought to himself: Could this visitor be sent by Yuan Shuo? I need to guard against what he did. So he refused and said, "I think about it and make a decision tomorrow." The visitor took the beads out of the shop, and Yang Cai ordered his servant to follow him to look at it. As expected, the visitor went to Jihui Inn and returned.
The customers were sent by Yuan Shuo, and they were the two servants. At this point, Yuan Shuo was disheartened and said that he wanted to surround Liang and climbed to the sky. He had no choice but to drive back with the two servants. He arrived at Wangting Town on the way. Seeing that the surrounding scenery was quite beautiful, he had no intention of returning, so he sent the two servants back, so he rented a farmhouse to live in it. He was still sad, and he thought about surround Liang day and night, sighing and unable to sleep at night.
On this night, the light rain had just stopped, the crescent moon was hanging high, the stream outside the house was gurgling, the breeze was rustling, insects and crickets were silence, and the night view was quiet. Yuan Shuo was bored, took out the Feiquan piano, placed it on the desk table, sat cross-legged, and played the song "Xiaoxiang Water Clouds". The sound of the piano was flowing, like a rippling water surface, like an artistic conception of clouds and mist, the melody and tone were spread out, and the bass was repeated, which seemed to show the melancholy emotion of the player.
While playing, I suddenly saw the light and shadows outside the window flashing. A girl floated into the house. Seeing that this girl was in youth, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a beautiful appearance and a beautiful demeanor. Although it suddenly came late at night, Yuan Shuofei panicked and asked slowly, "I saw that the girl is not a local person, where did I come?" The girl smiled and replied, "The little girl heard the sound of the piano and was very tragic. I don't know what you are worried about? When the little girl came to see her, she came rashly and asked you to understand her. Don't you suspect the little girl fox monster?" Yuan Shuo smiled and said, "I am not greedy for money and lust. What's wrong with the lady if she is a fox fairy? I am worried about loneliness and no company. When I hear the lady's words, I must understand the music of the piano. I sit in the humble room, and ask the lady to sit down." The girl sat on her skirt, less than three feet away from Yuan Shuo, and said, "You are just talking about it, Xiaoxiang
The first paragraph of Water Clouds, "Dongting Smoke Rain", the bright moon is bright, the frost wind is sad, the sound is low, the sound is sad, and it is touching tears." Yuan Shuo said in surprise: "Wow! The lady is so proficient in piano music, which makes me admire her. Please let me practice it." So he stood up and gave up his seat. The girl said shyly, "I dare not speak to teach you. If you don't mind, the little girl will be ugly." After saying that, she took her seat, relaxed her jade arm and plucked the strings for three or two. Before the tune was completed, she felt affectionate. She saw her lower eyebrows and continued to play the strings, and the strings were suppressed. The sound of the sound was the last paragraph of "Xiaoxiang Water Clouds" and "Shadows in All Things". The sound of the piano turned to the bass, and the melody went up and backward, like the sound of gurgling water and the gathering of wind and clouds, as if the play was revealed, and the melody was infinite. After a long time, the song was finally pulled and carefully painted.
Yuan Shuo clapped his hands and praised him, "What the lady said is the end of the Xiaoxiang River Cloud, which is ten times better than me. How wonderful it is!" The girl said, "I am not as good as your skills. You have been too rewarded, and my little girl imitates me." Yuan Shuo gave a deep tribute and asked, "I dare to ask the lady's name, where is the noble place?" The girl replied, "The little girl's name is Xian'er, who is from Luoyang. During the Anshi Rebellion, she fled here." Yuan Shuo met an old friend, and the two chatted and laughed, talking about the piano and music until dawn, and Xian'er said.
The next night, Xian'er came again, carrying a food box, bringing famous wine and dishes. Yuan Shuo was worried and had not been drunk for many days because he had not been caught by the beam. Now he saw the fine wine, he was not polite and drank happily until dawn. Since then, the two of them played the piano and papers every day, and ate midnight snacks together, and they felt very sorry for meeting each other too late. However, Xian'er did not come during the day and arrived in the evening, and did not know that he was a fairy or a demon. Yuan Shuo was already in love with him at this time, forgetting his feelings, and he had no regrets when he got this soulmate!
A few days later, Yuan Shuo was cleaning the door. A naughty came safely. He saw him wearing a Taoist robe, walking on clouds, and tied with white hair. His eyes were bright, showing a clear and elegant style. The awaited Yuan Shuo approached and saw Yuan Shuo, standing with one palm, and saying the voice of Wuliang Heavenly Lord. Yuan Shuo replied and asked, "What do you have to do with me?" The awkward nun said, "I saw the young master with a dark purple face, and I am afraid that the monster would be plagued by it for a day." Yuan Shuo was surprised.
Then he asked again: "How can I see it?" Taoist nun pointed out and said, "Young Master has had a romantic encounter recently? If you say it truthfully, I can help him." Yuan Shuo is an open and honest person, why dare not speak out? So he told him about meeting Xian'er for a few days and nights. Taoist nun finished hearing this and asked, "Young Master said that this woman is called Xian'er, and she also plays a good piano. Didn't show up during the day?" Yuan Shuo pointed out and said, "Yes, Xian'er's piano skills are superb, and I can't do it."
The Taoist nun put his palms together, "I wonder if this banshee is a banshee, so I must capture him." Yuan Shuo heard this, and was shocked and was not afraid. He asked the Taoist nun to go into the house to discuss in detail. The Taoist nun said that he was the Taoist priest of Xuanmiao Temple in Suzhou, with his Dharma name Hongxu, and instructed Yuan Shuo: "If this girl comes again tonight, the young master must not be moved. I hide it on the side and make arrangements tomorrow."
The next morning, Xian'er left, and Hongxu entered the house and said to Yuan Shuo, "I look at this woman in detail. I will definitely capture her tomorrow and night, and I need my son to help me." Yuan Shuo was shocked and said, "How can I help the fairy girl?" Hongxu took out a small bottle from his arms, "This bottle contains the soul soup. Tomorrow night, the son will drink this soup and mix it into the wine he drank, and then he will appear. Please do not be afraid, and I will continue to look at it." After saying that, Hongxu left.
Yuan Shuo was worried, and set up tables and chairs, prepared wine and food. When it was late in the evening, Xian'er arrived. Yuan Shuo pretended to smile and said, "I have been waiting for the young lady for a long time. Please drink it." Then he handed Xian'er a wine glass mixed with soup. Xian'er didn't know his plan and raised her to drink it. After a while, Xian'er felt the sky and the sky was spinning, fainted on the ground, and showed its true form, turning into an guqin! Yuan Shuo was shocked and looked closely, and immediately became surprised and happy. This guqin was the circumference of the beam that he thought about day and night! He rushed forward and held it around the beam, and couldn't help but feel happy. At this time, he heard a sound of Wuliang Heavenly Lord, Hongxu came into the house with a wooden sword in his arms, saying, "If I were to let me say that this woman is a demon, please put the qin on the desk and I will examine it."
Yuan Shuo placed the rostrum on the table. Hongxu put his body with a talisman on the body of the Qin, pinched the tricks and chanted the mantra, asked the Qin, "Where are you evil? You can confuse people at this point? Come here!" Hearing the sound of Qin'er, he said, "I'm asking for forgiveness from the fairy. My little girl is the musical girl under the skirt of Yang Guifei in the Tang Dynasty. When the imperial concubine sang and danced, I held the rostrum accompaniment of the rostrum, and I was inseparable from the rostrum, and I was inseparable from the rostrum, and I was inseparable from the rostrum. Later, in the Anshi Rebellion, I died in a bad life, and my soul did not disperse. I have been attached to the rostrum for 660 years. I have changed my number with the rostrum, but
I have never harmed anyone. Now I see Mr. Yuan loves to be sincere in Liang, and he has become obsessed with him day and night. I feel his sincerity, so I come to accompany him every night and accompany him to enjoy him. However, I have not had a relationship with him, so I ask the fairy to investigate him clearly." Hongxu asked again, "Who was reincarnated in your previous life?" Xian'er replied, "My previous life was Han E, a Korean singer in the Spring and Autumn Period. Because his singing was beautiful and pleasant, he kept wandering around Liang for three days. Later, the Chu man Huayuan made a piano and used the name of circling Liang to repay the kindness of the person who made the piano, so he was reincarnated as a music girl, and he never moved around Liang."
When I was inspecting the Qin, two people suddenly broke into the door, holding steel knives, and were aggressive. Seeing this scene, they laughed and said, "As a matter of fact, haha! Mr. Yuan, you can't cheat, so they used the thief technique. My master has been missing by Liang for several days. I suspect you have robbed you. I ordered us to investigate his traces. Now we are all dirty. What do you say? Please follow me to the government to make a judgment, so you can't rely on me!" After saying that, he wanted to capture Yuan Shuo. Hongxu stood up and stepped forward to stop him and said, "Wait! The two donors said that this lyrics were not robbed by Mr. Yuan, so he came on his own." One of them laughed and said, "Just! He was talking nonsense, and the Qin was not enough, so how could he do it?" Hongxu said
: "If the two donors do not believe it, please ask Qin, he will answer it." The two were confused and before they asked, Qin said first, "What the fairy said is true. I will come here by myself, so don't defame Mr. Yuan's innocence." When the two heard that Qin could speak, they were shocked and changed their color. Hongxu comforted him, "Don't panic, don't be afraid, wait for me to explain his fate in detail." Then he explained it in detail. When the two heard this, they abandoned their swords and praised him, "We two are the partners of Boyunzhai. We followed the order of the master and went around Liang. The villain's naked eyes were ordinary fetuses and did not recognize the cause. My master Yang Cai misjudged it. Please forgive him. However, I need to ask the fairy to hold Qin to Boyunzhai. We will stop working together."
That night, Yuan Shuo drove, Hongxu carried Qin and two mates on board and rushed to Suzhou. At dawn, he arrived at Boyunzhai and saw Yang Cai and Yayun, and told him all the reasons. Hongxu put Qin on the table and said to the crowd, "When I wait for me to save the ghosts in the zither, then the things will be returned to the original owner to get a bond."
He set up an incense burner, candles on the desk, burned incense and burned wax, Hongxu waved his sword, muttered a word, uncovered the talisman, and saw a white air in the piano rising into the air, floating away. After the method, Hongxu held the circumference of the Liang and met Yang Cai. Yang Cai thanked and said, "Thank you, fairy, drive away the ghosts to peace, how can I thank you?" Hongxu said, "If you don't have any love, go around the Liang and go into the fool, how can you lead ghosts out of the piano? I have a word that I don't know if I should say?" Yang Cai said, "It's okay to say all." Hongxu smiled and said, "I heard that Miss Yang and Mr. Yuan are competing with each other's skills. Now that the lady is over the age of her hair, I am willing to match it. One can be the beauty of the piano and the other can fulfill the wishes of Mr. Yuan. What do you think of the shopkeeper Yang?" Yang Cai happily agreed and said, "I thanked me for the arrangement of the fairy."
Yuan Shuo heard that Hongxu was a matchmaker, and Yayun wanted to marry him as a wife. He was so happy that he cried and knelt down to thank Hongxu, saying that marrying Yayun as a wife was fortunate for three lives, so both parties got married.
Yuan Shuo returned to Changzhou and told his parents that their parents were very happy. When Yuan Shuo chose an auspicious day, Yuan Shuo married, and Yayun hugged Liang to make a dowry. The two got married. The next year, Yayun gave birth to a daughter, who was three years old, and could tell the story of the previous life. He claimed that he was the happy daughter of Yang Guifei, who ordered Xian'er to play the guqin. Now that he was reincarnated, he was reincarnated here. Everyone was surprised when they heard about it.
Chapter completed!
