Wang Hai laughed again, and then said in the tone of an elder speaking to a junior: "When we first came to Suzhou, I don't know how many cloth merchants showed their courtesy to me and wanted to take over the palace's business.
Because they all know that whoever takes over the palace business will be the number one cloth merchant in Jiangnan and the richest man in Jiangnan!"
"For a while, the number of people who gave us gifts was almost over the limit! Some gave us money, some gave us houses, some gave us fields, and some even gave us women, without caring whether we were blessed or not!"
"Only you gave us a guqin! Compared with the money, houses, and fields, a guqin is nothing! Even if it was used by celebrities in the previous dynasty, how much silver is it worth?"
"But, Changji, do you know why we chose you?"
Song Changji pondered for a moment and then replied cleverly: "Because what I give to my father-in-law is not just a guqin, but a heart that respects my father-in-law wholeheartedly!"
"Hahaha......"
Wang Hai laughed loudly: "A heart that respects me wholeheartedly! Well, this makes sense! Changji, work hard, as long as we are still sitting in this seat, your position as the richest man in Jiangnan will be as secure as Mount Tai!"
"Hey, actually, even if my father-in-law leaves Suzhou and returns to the palace, my position will still be as stable as Mount Tai, and it will be even more stable than it is now!"
"Oh? How do you say this?"
"My father-in-law has managed the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau so brilliantly. The emperor will never treat my father-in-law badly! When my father-in-law returns to the palace, it will be the day when my father-in-law enters the ceremonial office!"
Song Changji said very firmly!
"Be careful!"
Although Wang Hai was happy in his heart, he deliberately put on an expression on his face: "You are not a person who doesn't understand the rules. How dare you speculate on the holy will?"
"Changji made a mistake, please punish me."
"Punishment is waived. Please pay more attention in the future! It's okay to just talk about it here. If it spreads outside, others will think it's our family that has some evil intentions!"
Of course Song Changji knew that Wang Hai was not really angry, he was just pretending, so he smiled softly and brought the jade-inlaid wooden box he had brought to the table. After opening it, there was a body inside.
A lyre with some burnt ends.
"Thanks to my father-in-law, I have found this Jiaowei Qin. Please take a look."
Song Changji smiled and pushed the wooden box in front of Wang Hai.
"Ah! This is the guqin made by Wei Yannian, the first musician in the former court! It is said that he spent ten years looking for materials to make this guqin. Unfortunately, there was a fire in the palace later.
The tail of this guqin was a little burnt, but by some mistake, the last trace of dryness in this guqin was burned through. The sound produced by it was crisp and ethereal, but also soft and gentle, so
Rated as the No. 1 piano in the world!"
Wang Hai was very knowledgeable and knew a lot about the origin of this guqin. While talking, he picked up the Jiaowei Qin and stroked it gently. His eyes were full of unconcealable love. This chapter has been completed!
