The girl who suddenly walked in had big eyes, an oval face, and white skin, so tender that you could squeeze water out of it. ////
"Yuanyuan, why are you here?!" Mr. Gao said in surprise.
The girl blushed and took a few steps forward, obviously a little shy, and said, "I just arrived and heard the sound of the piano, so I came all the way here."
"Oh, that's it." Mr. Gao couldn't help but smile, glanced at He Qing and said, "Brother He, this is my daughter, Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan, those two are new friends from Jiangzhou, Mr. He and Lin
gentlemen."
The girl quietly looked at He Qing and Lin Haitao, and asked softly: "Dad, who was playing the piano just now? Was he playing your guqin?"
She couldn't wait to know whose hand the piano sound came from. Mr. Gao pointed at He Qing and said, "It's Mr. He who plays it. He plays it very well, right? He is a professional violinist, but unfortunately he does not study guzheng.
You practice differently now."
Gao Yuanyuan said: "Actually, it's almost the same. I've always wanted to learn guqin, but there don't seem to be many teachers teaching guqin now, and I can't find the right one."
Mr. Gao nodded and said: "Yes, it seems that it is indeed very difficult to learn the guqin. Yuanyuan, don't be shy, go say hello to the guests."
So Gao Yuanyuan walked up to He Qing and Lin Haitao a little shyly, nodded and said: "Hello."
She had already blushed before she opened her mouth. He Qing said with a smile: "Hello. Your dad said you learn guzheng, right? Yes, you can practice it now. You have a bright future."
He never expected that the sound of his piano would attract Mr. Gao's daughter, but that's it. He was mesmerized by the piano just now. The sound of the piano was loud and melodious, echoing throughout the villa. People inside the house could hear it.
It's not surprising, and Gao Yuanyuan is a music fan. Someone plays such a beautiful piece of music, which naturally attracts her.
"Thank you." Gao Yuanyuan said, "Are you the Guqin teacher?"
He Qing shook his head and said: "I am not a professional teacher, playing the piano is just my hobby."
His answer seemed to make Gao Yuanyuan a little disappointed. Her face changed slightly, and she just said softly. She didn't say anything at the moment, turned around and walked back to her father, and pulled him aside.
He whispered in his ear: "Dad, that man plays the guqin so beautifully. It's even more beautiful than what I heard at the concert! Can... Dad, can you ask him to teach me how to learn guqin? If so,
He is such a good teacher and teaches me how to practice the piano, so I will definitely learn quickly!"
She was beaming with joy, as if she had finally found Bole, someone who could help her greatly improve her piano skills.
Mr. Gao was surprised and said: "Then you don't want to learn guzheng anymore?"
Gao Yuanyuan said: "After studying for so long, it's still the same. It's hard to make progress. I feel that our guzheng teacher's teaching is very shallow. I'm afraid that it will be like this if I practice again in the future. So I can learn other things and maybe I can practice better."
Okay. He plays the piano so well, so he can definitely teach me well. Dad, you can keep him as my tutor. In this way, he will be my private teacher and can tutor me all the time."
Mr. Gao said seriously: "Let's discuss this matter later - okay, I will tell Mr. He."
But he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He just said: "How could my brother come to his home to be a tutor? That's not his job. His career is in collecting antiques. It's impossible to change his career to become a guqin teacher. But it should be okay to ask him for advice."
Yes, maybe he even agreed to accept his daughter as his apprentice. It is normal for a luthier to accept a disciple.
Later, he finally sent his daughter away. Although he promised her, he didn't mention anything about what happened just now. He couldn't rush this matter, so he had to speak slowly.
Next, getting down to business, Mr. Gao asked He Qingzhang to look at a few things, two pieces of ancient jade, a piece of porcelain from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and one or two other antiques.
Seeing that the antiques were all faintly emitting a red "treasure light", He Qingxin knew it.
"Hey brother, these items are quite controversial. I asked a few masters to look at them before, but some of them said they were not old enough. What do you think?" Mr. Gao introduced the relevant situation.
He Qing smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Gao, sometimes it is difficult to draw a conclusion about antiques. It is normal for there to be disputes, and no one has given an exact reason to prove that there is something wrong with it. In my opinion
Look, there’s nothing wrong with these things of yours, don’t worry.”
When Mr. Gao mentioned that he only needed to determine the age of those things, He Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This was his strength, but of course it had to be under certain conditions. Today, his eye powers have been used up.
He could no longer look at the ins and outs of those old antiques, but he could still clearly see the aura emitted by those things, and he could basically determine whether they were genuine or fake.
"Brother He, are you sure?! These things are all genuine?!" Hearing what He Qing said solemnly, Mr. Gao asked in surprise and joy.
He Qing said: "It's really hard to say for sure. I can only evaluate it from my perspective. Mr. Gao, how about this? I'll think about it carefully later because there are two things that I'm not completely sure about, but
Please ask my master for advice and check some information and there should be no problem!"
He said this in a serious manner. Of course, asking for a teacher and searching for information were just excuses. His real purpose was to wait for his "skill" to cool down, and when he looked at it again later, he would be able to determine the authenticity of several antiques that were difficult to determine.
The specific year.
"Okay! That's good work!" Mr. Gao said excitedly. He didn't think much about it. Even if He Qing said that he was not sure at all, he might be able to understand. After all, the other party was just a mortal person, and he was still a mortal.
It is understandable that at such a young age, what he has learned is limited.
After looking at those things and staying in Mr. Gao's collection room for a while, He Qing said goodbye to Mr. Gao. Mr. Zheng and the others were still waiting outside. We couldn't keep them waiting for a long time. Anyway, this time
This matter can only go so far, and there is no hope of finding out what happened tonight.
"Brother He, can I have a chat with you alone?"
Before walking out of the study, Mr. Gao suddenly asked solemnly.
He Qing and Lin Haitao looked at each other, and Lin Haitao immediately said knowingly: "Brother Qing, if you have something to do, I'll leave first. I'll go down and wait for you."
"Well, I'll go down soon." He Qing nodded.
"Okay." Lin Haitao responded, then said goodbye and walked out of the study.
"Mr. Gao, is there anything else?" He Qing asked.
Mr. Gao said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing. I just want to ask, do you collect by yourself now or do you work somewhere?"
He Qing answered truthfully: "While I work for my friends, I also open a small shop myself and take care of it when I have nothing to do."
"That's great, the work is very fulfilling." Mr. Gao said, "I don't know if you have time. I am short of a manpower here. He is someone who specializes in antique appraisal. If you are interested, can you come over and help me?
?I won’t let you suffer, and I will give you better treatment than any other company you work in.”
"Oh, this?" He Qing shook his head without hesitation and said, "Mr. Gao, I'm really sorry. I'm quite busy now and can't take the time."
He decisively rejected Mr. Gao's warm invitation to work as an appraiser or errand boy for others. He Qing would naturally not be able to do this anymore. No matter how high a salary was offered to him, it would not satisfy him. Now he has
With that ability, he can work alone, and it's almost enough to hire others. Although he is still working at "Jianbaozhai" now, the situation is completely different. He is just helping a good friend. Mainly because he can work at "Jianbaozhai"
He learned a lot of useful things. Besides, the environment of "Jianbaozhai" was so relaxed. He didn't have to go to work for several days and just said hello to Lin Haitao and Uncle Long.
"Oh, that's okay." Mr. Gao shook his head and said, "Since you are very busy now, I won't force you."
He Qing apologized: "I'm sorry, but if there is any use in the future, I will try my best."
In his eyes, although Mr. Gao looked arrogant and unkind, he was actually a nice person, enthusiastic and measured, and it was still very pleasant to get along with him.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing." Mr. Gao smiled and said, "You saw it just now. My daughter was attracted by your beautiful piano sound. She said she wanted to ask you for advice. I wonder if you can
Become her teacher and accept her as a student?"
He Qing said in surprise: "I haven't had any students yet. I probably don't have much time, but if she wants to learn Guqin, I can teach her, haha, let's do my best."
He has extraordinary piano skills and rich knowledge, so it is easy for him to teach students, but he has never thought of accepting apprentices in this area. However, since Mr. Gao and his daughter have requested him so sincerely, it would be unreasonable not to help him.
He Qing knew from the beginning that Gao Yuanyuan envied his piano skills, but he didn't expect that Gao Yuanyuan wanted to become his teacher.
He learned all kinds of superb skills from antiques. As time goes by, there will definitely be many lost skills among them. Passing them down from his generation will be a good thing for promoting ancient art.
"I know, I know!" Mr. Gao nodded hurriedly, "I know you are a busy man! All you need to do is give me some advice. I don't want you to be a full-time teacher."
Naturally, his daughter's request could not be fulfilled. It was impossible for He Qing to be their tutor. If it were an ordinary person, it would be almost the same.
After the two agreed on the matter, Mr. Gao happily took He Qing out of the collection room and went to the hall downstairs. At that time, Mr. Zheng and Lin Haitao were patiently waiting for him.
After meeting Mr. Zheng and the others, the group prepared to say goodbye to Mr. Gao. But before He Qing left, Mr. Gao gave him a gift, which was a brocade box wrapped in yellow silk with the word "宝光" on it.
Yiyi, no one knows what kind of treasure is inside. (To be continued.
