Zhu Jinjun sold such a big deal, which aroused everyone's interest. Empress Zhang couldn't help but smile sweetly and said: "Since it is a unique gift, please bring it to Prince Ning to have a look. I am quite pleased with it."
Looking forward to it.”
Zhu Jinjun smiled slightly and said: "It is said that there was a piano player named Sima Xiangru in ancient times. He had outstanding talent, unparalleled diction, and his piano skills were also famous all over the world. It is said that Sima Xiangru was originally from a poor family with only four walls, but he
His poems and poems were very famous. The king of Han Dynasty and Liang Dynasty asked him to write a poem. Xiangru wrote a poem "Ruyu Fu" as a gift.
Qi Qin was given as a gift in return. This "Green Qi" Qin became famous all over the world and was passed down as a good story by the people of the time."
After hearing this, Empress Zhang licked her lips and smiled slightly and said: "The "Green Qi" Qin came from the Han Dynasty, 1,500 years ago. Guqins are mostly made of paulownia wood, beef tendon, and horsetail. Now I'm afraid it's long gone.
It has turned into decay, why did Prince Ning bring up this harp?"
Zhu Jinjun smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is fond of playing the piano. I must have heard that although this "Green Qi" is no longer seen, in the Song Dynasty, there was an elegant man who spent a lot of money and recruited many famous craftsmen to imitate this "Green Qi" throughout his life.
"Qi", it is said that it took a full fifteen years to complete the "Green Qi". After that, the Qin was collected by the palace of the previous dynasty. The Tatar Emperor Tie'er once took out the Qin to show off to his ministers, which caused an uproar.
Few people paid attention to it. Later, when the Yuan people were destroyed, the Qin disappeared."
The Song Dynasty was hundreds of years ago. Empress Zhang made a mental calculation and concluded that if the piano was well maintained, it should still be alive. At this moment, she couldn't help but be moved. The player loves the piano, just like the hero loves the sword.
It is not that there are no famous harps in the palace. However, this "Green Qi" harp is regarded as the holy harp among harps because there are touching legends about famous people and touching stories about collectors in the past. Even now
, "Green Qi" has become another name for Guqin.
Seeing Queen Zhang's moved expression, Zhu Jinjun winked at the High King Zhu Chenhao. Zhu Chenhao understood and said quickly: "Come here, bring me the gift from this king."
The one-foot-long box was slowly carried over by two eunuchs. The box was very exquisite, and the carved patterns and the dark background gave people a sense of Chinese style.
The long box was carefully placed on the long table in front of Queen Zhang by the eunuch. The young eunuch gently opened the box. In an instant, Queen Zhang's eyes lit up.
The body of the piano is made of fine paulownia wood, full of ancient charm, and the strings are equipped with finely processed beef tendons. There is an inscription inside the piano that reads: "Tongzi Hejing" on the base.
There are many inscriptions and seals, and even the seal of the Tatar court can be clearly seen.
Although it is not an authentic work, this fake is the most precious treasure in the world, and many people are trying to buy it with a lot of money. How could Empress Zhang not have heard of the allusion of this fake Green Qi? She just thought that it was old and had already decayed or disappeared.
.
It's just that although this piano has gone through hundreds of years, I don't know if it is because it was collected by the palace. It is extremely well maintained. If you gently caress the piano body with your fingers, you can even faintly feel the toughness of the strings and the smoothness of the piano body.
Just to maintain this guqin, the money spent over the past hundreds of years has probably exceeded ten thousand yuan. It should be noted that the maintenance of the guqin is the most cumbersome. Not only does it need to be attended by a dedicated person, but also oil must be applied every now and then. No corner should be neglected. As for other things,
There are also a lot of protective measures. And the value of this piano can no longer be calculated in terms of money.
Empress Zhang's face clearly showed a moving smile. Her beautiful eyes shone with a captivating luster, and her delicate hands caressed Lu Qi lovingly. She said quickly: "Prince Ning is troublesome. Such a gift is very important to me."
Yes, I like it. I have received so many gifts today, but only this Green Qiqin has won my heart."
Prince Ning and his son both looked happy. Zhu Chenhao even gouged out Liu Chengfeng and Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth with hatred. Liu Chengfeng, on the other hand, looked indifferent and treated Zhu Chen
Hao turned a blind eye to his provocation.
Zhu Jinjun stroked his beard and smiled and said: "The empress has superb piano skills, coupled with the wonderful tone of "Green Qi". It is a perfect match." He turned his eyes and said with a smile: "Today is the empress' birthday, His Royal Highness has always been
Filial piety, I must have prepared a gift for the empress this time, but I don’t know what gift His Highness will use to impress the empress? I am also looking forward to it."
After what Zhu Jinjun said, everyone became curious and wanted to see what Prince Zhu Houzhao brought.
Zhu Youtang's face looked a little worried at this moment. At first, he was very happy when Prince Ning and his son presented him with the guqin. But when Zhu Jinjun mentioned Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Youtang immediately realized what Zhu Jinjun was thinking.
It’s not simple anymore.
Filial piety is the foundation of living in today's world. Filial piety is the first of hundreds of virtues and the first of virtues. Only with filial piety can one have virtue. If virtue is good, the rest are just small details.
If the gift given by the prince this time is ridiculous or not as good as the feudal clan, what will others say? Zhu Youtang is different from the late emperor. The late emperor is the kind of person who always covers his ears when things happen. Others
After all, he could just ignore it and just want to live a good life for himself. But Zhu Youtang cared very much about what others thought, especially the chats and discussions between people in the market. It was precisely because of this that Zhu Youtang
The reason for working so diligently is to take care of the inheritance of our ancestors. On the other hand, we also hope to be recognized by others.
The prince and he were one and the same, and Zhu Houzhao was his only son. What other people thought of the prince was what he cared about most.
Zhu Youtang couldn't help but glance at Liu Chengfeng, and at this moment, Liu Chengfeng also raised his eyes and met his eyes. Zhu Youtang's eyes were a bit anxious and a bit angry. And Liu Chengfeng's eyes were a bit anxious and a bit angry.
Chengfeng looked indifferent, as if the matter in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Liu Chengfeng squeezed Zhu Houzhao gently and nodded to Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao stood up and knelt down on the ground before Queen Zhang's knees. Then he said: "My children and ministers dare not forget the mother's kindness in raising me.
Today, on this birthday, I would like to present a gift to my mother."
Zhu Houzhao immediately said: "It's just that my monthly salary is only tens of thousands of dollars. Compared with Prince Ning's wealth, it is far behind..."
When he said this, Zhu Jinjun and Zhu Chenhao's expressions couldn't help but change. Zhu Chenhao, in particular, glared at Zhu Houzhao angrily. Didn't Zhu Houzhao's words make it clear that he was so simple as a prince?
On the contrary, he, a minister of the vassal, is rich and powerful? I only heard that the prince is a idiot. When can he say such high-sounding words as the insinuations of the Ming Dynasty?
When Empress Zhang heard what Zhu Houzhao said, she quickly stroked Zhu Houzhao's back and said, "My mother is very happy that you can say these words. My mother knows that you are usually tight on money. How can I let you spend money to buy jewelry for your mother?"
Treasure?"
Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said: "But my son has not been able to repay my mother's kindness in raising her, so this gift must be given."
Zhu Houzhao stood up, let Queen Zhang hold his hand, and said outside: "Come here, bring in my gifts."
A large box, weighing dozens of kilograms, was carried by several eunuchs and landed steadily in the hall.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder when they saw the box. What kind of tricks did the prince play? Prince Ning and his son were not nervous. The bigger the gift, the better. Moreover, the decoration of the box was not exquisite, it was just ordinary storage.
It’s just a box, what tricks can Zhu Houzhao do?
Liu Jian and others looked at the box curiously, but they were thinking in their hearts that giving a gift this time can reveal the prince's character. If he prevaricates the queen casually, he may not show much filial piety, but what exactly is this gift?
?
Only Li Dongyang raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Chengfeng, with a casual smile on his face. Others thought it was the prince giving gifts, but Li Dongyang knew that this gift was probably planned by Liu Chengfeng, and this Liu Chengfeng would give it to him.
What kind of surprise does he have?
"Open the box!" Zhu Houzhao said to the eunuchs.
At this time, Zhu Youtang couldn't help but stretch his neck. He actually knew better than anyone what kind of virtue his son had. His son was the most mischievous. Don't let a cat or a dog get out of this box.
That's good, otherwise it would really make people laugh.
The eunuchs opened the big box. Many people took a closer look and saw that there were thick handwritten books stacked in the box. People led by Liu Jian couldn't help but feel sad. It turned out that the prince, like Lord Wang Shu, also sent books.
It’s okay to give books as gifts, but it’s a little too insincere. As a son of a human being, wouldn’t he know his mother’s preferences?
Zhu Chenhao looked at the contents of the box and couldn't help laughing. He joked: "His Royal Highness the Prince's gift is really very heavy. With so many books, it is much heavier than Lu Qi."
The weight in Zhu Chenhao's words does not mean preciousness or sincerity, but simply heft. He did so deliberately, which is full of irony.
In fact, not only these foreign ministers, but also Zhu Youtang and Queen Zhang could not help but feel sad. Wang Shu could only send a letter. He was a foreign minister, and he was just a stinking stone in the pit. No one paid attention to him anyway.
Him. But as a prince, as a son of man, you also come to deliver a book. What use does this book have to Empress Zhang? When my mother celebrated her birthday, she did it so perfunctorily, only bringing a box of books to deal with it.
After all, this son is still not sensible.
