Chapter 558 One piano and one sword
Because they knew that Xiao Yeyang was going to Northern Xinjiang in a few days, Daohua and Gu Jian were not thinking about eating. After sitting for a while, Caiju came in to clear the table, and then they went back to their rooms.
Early the next morning, Daohua handed the list of medicinal materials and spices written overnight to Wang Man'er: "Go back to Ningmen Mansion immediately, take these two lists to Manager Jin of Rouge Shop, and ask him to follow the list.
Get everything together and send it back to me."
In normal times, Daohua will intentionally ask the stewards of each store to collect some valuable, rare, or scarce spices and medicinal materials. Every once in a while, the stewards will send them to Rouge Shop for storage and write-off.
Wang Maner took the order and left quickly.
While having breakfast, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang couldn't help but feel relieved when they saw that Granny Gu was in good spirits.
During this period, Granny Gu stated several times that Xiao Yeyang was not allowed to go to Northern Xinjiang, but she was quickly dismissed by Gu Jian.
After eating, in order to divert Grandma Gu's attention, Gu Jian looked at Daohua: "Aren't you going to make peach blossom wine? Go ahead and make it with Mr. Yang. Let us have a look. My sister and I haven't met anyone yet.
Making wine."
Daohua stood up quickly: "Let's go now."
Afterwards, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang were making wine in the courtyard, while Grandma Gu sat under the eaves and watched.
"Mother-in-law, look at Xiao Yeyang, he's putting peach blossoms on my forehead again!"
"It looks pretty good if you put a flower mother-of-pearl on it."
"I don't want it, it's wet."
Seeing the two children laughing and playing, Grandma Gu felt much better. She took the medicine brought by Gu Jian, took a deep breath, and drank it with a "GuluGulu" gulp.
After finishing the medicine, Gu Jian immediately handed over the candied dates made from rice flowers.
Grandma Gu took one and put it in her mouth. After the smell of medicine in her mouth had gone away, she said, "Go to the old house and get the things."
Gu Jian looked at Grandma Gu, nodded, put the medicine bowl back in the kitchen, and told Caiju to go and look after Grandma Gu, and then turned around and went down Peach Blossom Mountain.
Because the pots and stoves in the kitchen were relatively small, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang went to the village at the foot of the mountain to steam glutinous rice. When they came back, they saw Granny Gu and Gu Jian sitting in the yard, one wiping the guqin and the other
Cleaning the sword.
The two people's attention was immediately attracted, and they put down their things and walked over.
"Master, mother-in-law, where did you get the piano and sword?"
Grandma Gu had already polished the piano and it was well preserved with no damage. After hearing what Daohua said, she smiled and asked, "Can you play?"
Daohua nodded: "Yes." After saying that, she reached out and fiddled with the strings.
The sound was round and even, with penetrating power and a long lingering sound. Daohua immediately smiled and said, "What a great piano." Seeing the cracked paint on the piano, she immediately asked, "Isn't this piano very old?"
Grandma Gu smiled and said, "You are a knowledgeable person." As she said this, she put the piano in front of Daohua, "Here, play a song for me and let me see how your piano skills are." p>
Seeing her master and Xiao Yeyang looking at her, Daohua was not frightened at all. She sat directly in front of the stone table, straightened the piano, and then put her hands on the strings.
Master Shen put a lot of effort into teaching her how to play the piano, and she studied it seriously, thinking that she was pretty good at it.
Soon, the fresh, long, lively and lively sound of the piano sounded in Taohua Temple.
Seeing Daohua's fair and slender fingers beating on the strings, Granny Gu, Gu Jian, and Xiao Yeyang in the courtyard couldn't help but smile.
This girl's heart is bright and bright, and even the music she plays makes people feel happy.
"What a wonderful piano!"
After playing a cheerful guqin tune that she had improvised before, Daohua once again lamented the preciousness of this guqin. Seeing her mother-in-law and the three of them looking at her with a smile, she asked with a smile: "Mother-in-law, how did I play it?"
Grandma Gu smiled and said: "It sounds good."
Daohua touched the guqin and said with a smile: "I will often play it for you when I come here from now on."
Grandma Gu smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Daohua turned her attention to the sword in Gu Jian's hand: "Master, that sword seems to be very old. What kind of sword is it?"
Gu Jian glanced at Xiao Yeyang, who was staring at the sword, and raised his eyebrows: "Want to try it?"
Xiao Yeyang nodded. This was a good sword. He knew that he had seen many good swords, so he could tell it at a glance.
Gu Jian threw the sword to Xiao Yeyang: "You should also dance twice to see if you are worthy of this sword."
Xiao Yeyang took the sword, unsheathed it, and when he saw the coldly shining sword blade, his eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly pulled out the sheath, then raised the sword and started dancing in the courtyard.
The aura of Xiao Yeyang, who was holding a long sword, suddenly changed. He was originally a figure who stood out from the crowd, but now he is even more eye-catching. It just felt like he was the center of the world, and people couldn't take their eyes away.
Granny Gu and Gu Jian also looked at Xiao Yeyang with proud expressions.
After a set of sword skills, Xiao Yeyang's aura was not disordered at all, but his eyes were particularly shining: "Master Gu, this sword is the best sword I have ever seen in my life."
Gu Jian snorted, with a look of pride on his eyebrows: "Of course, this sword is made of meteorite iron. It was specially prepared by my father for my sister."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yeyang heard the preciousness of the sword, while Daohua looked at Granny Gu in surprise: "Grandma also practiced swords when she was young?"
Grandma Gu smiled and shook her head: "I don't know how to practice swordsmanship. This sword and this piano are both the dowry prepared by my father for me." She said with a bitter look on her face, "It's a pity that I can't use it. Up."
"Ah?!"
Dao Hua's face froze, seeing that both Granny Gu and his master didn't look very good, and he blamed himself for bringing up their sad past.
Fortunately, Granny Gu's sadness faded quickly. She smiled and gestured to Daohua to look at the piano: "Look at the head of the piano."
Daohua immediately lowered her head and looked up, and soon saw three less obvious words: "Long-term companionship!"
Granny Gu smiled and nodded, then motioned Xiao Yeyang to look at the sword in his hand.
Xiao Yeyang raised the sword, and then he saw three words engraved on the sword: "Longside!"
Grandma Gu had a smile on her lips and said with a dazed look in her eyes: "My father prepared this harp and a sword for me when I was born. I hope that my future husband can use the sword he made to protect me and sing harmoniously with me.
Staying together until old age is just a dream after all."
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang listened silently, neither daring to speak.
Grandma Gu was silent for a while, then looked at Daohua and Xiao Yeyang with a smile: "Grandma will never need it in this life. Now, I give you this piano and sword."
"Ah?"
Daohua was a little hesitant. If it were an ordinary gift, he would have accepted it. But the piano and the sword were clearly a pair. They felt like a token of love. It didn't seem right to just accept it.
Gu Jian looked over sideways: "Ah, what, I gave it to you and you don't want it?"
Daohua shook her head quickly, wanting to explain a few words, but she didn't know how to speak. At this moment, Xiao Yeyang spoke: "Thank you, mother-in-law, thank you Master Gu, I like this sword very much, and I will definitely cherish it."
Then he took a quick look at the rice flowers.
Grandma Gu was really kind to him. She saw his affection for Daohua and gave him and Daohua such a meaningful gift. He was really grateful.
Master Gu is Daohua's master. In this way, the matter between him and Daohua has been cleared up in front of the elders, so it wouldn't be too polite for him to be close to each other.
Daohua glanced at Xiao Yeyang, who was smiling brightly, and gave him a look of 'you're welcome'.
Looking at her ancient mother-in-law who looked at her with a smile in her eyes, Daohua touched the guqin with her hand, moved her heart, and said with a smile: "Thank you, mother-in-law, I like it very much too."
Seeing Daohua put away the piano, Granny Gu smiled and narrowed her eyes. Gu Jian's eyes also flashed with a smile.
Granny Gu: "As long as you like it. Putting this harp and sword in your hands doesn't mean it's an insult to them."
......
After lunch, Granny Gu went to take a lunch break. Gu Jian went into the pharmacy to work. Daohua felt a little itchy when she saw the new guqin. When Xiao Yeyang saw it, she immediately encouraged:
"The piece you played this morning was nice, but it was too short. I haven't heard enough yet. I'm fine now. Let's go to the pavilion and practice your skills."
Daohua nodded quickly: "That's what I meant, let's go." After saying that, she stood up with Qin in her arms and walked out of the yard.
"Wait for me!"
Xiao Yeyang went back to his room and picked up his new sword, preparing to give Dao Hua Wu a set of sword skills later.
During the sword dance in the morning, he accidentally noticed that Daohua looked at him with bright eyes, looking obsessed. This guy seemed to like watching him dance.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the corner pavilion on the mountain.
Daohua put down the piano, looked up at Xiao Yeyang, and asked with a smile: "What music do you want to listen to?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "As long as it's played by you, I like it."
Daohua glanced at him with a smile, then lowered her head and started playing with the strings.
The soothing and melodious music flows out from the fingers of the rice flowers, matching the breeze blowing slowly on the mountain, making it long and ethereal.
Xiao Yeyang leaned on the pavilion pillar with his sword in his arms, his mouth slightly raised, his eyes smiling, his eyes filled with unbreakable emotions, staring intently at the figure playing the piano in the pavilion.
Daohua fiddled with the strings and looked up at Xiao Yeyang with a smile from time to time.
Defu stood outside the pavilion, listening intoxicated. Whenever he saw the eyes of his master and Miss Yan intersect in the air, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.
The relationship between the master and Miss Yan is getting better and better now. Look at the sweet atmosphere flowing between the two, you can feel it even from a distance.
After listening for a while, Xiao Yeyang suddenly walked out of the pavilion, pulled out the scabbard of his sword, and then danced with the sword under the peach blossom tree.
When Daohua saw it, she raised her brows and couldn't help but speed up the playing with her fingers. The sound of the piano changed from the soothing and long before, and the intensity and momentum suddenly increased, becoming majestic, bold and unruly.
After hearing this, Xiao Yeyang curled up the corner of his mouth and accelerated the speed and difficulty of the sword dance in harmony with the music.
