55. Chapter 55 Tofu Xi Shi 1

(31) Tofu Xishi (1)

Ji Ling's wife is the daughter of a violin maker. Her name is Huayin.

The famous Qin Ji Ling, the Burning Jiao Qin, is the legacy of Hua Yin’s father.

Huayin lost her mother when she was young, and her father was obsessed with making famous pianos. Sometimes he would go up the mountain for several days, leaving Huayin alone to his neighbor's aunt.

Therefore, Huayin became sensible early on, kept the house in good order, and helped her neighbor Aunt Li's tofu stall.

Huayin made good tofu, was gentle and kind, treated people kindly, and was beautiful. People nearby called Huayin "Tofu Xishi" and it spread.

Ji Ling was revived by Huayin with a bowl of tofu curd.

Ji Ling fainted and kindly met Hua Yin in front of Aunt Li's tofu stall, so that he would not starve to death because he had not eaten for a week.

In order to repay Huayin and Aunt Li, Ji Ling decided to help out at the tofu stall, doing all the hard work. As time went by, sparks arose between the two.

There is love in the eyes and brows.

At that time, Ji Ling brought an old guqin with him and occasionally played it. Hua Yin found that the strings of the guqin were broken, so she asked Ji Ling to go to her father to repair it.

However, Father Hua has a weird temper. He has three principles, otherwise he will not do it, no matter how much money he gives.

First, each person who comes to ask for a piano needs to play it once. He will only play it when he is satisfied. It does not necessarily have to be a good player, but a heart to care for the piano.

Second, you don’t come to your door to do it. Even if the royal family comes to invite you, you don’t leave the workshop.

Third, don’t do it at sunset.

"Dad, my daughter wants to ask you something."

Huayin came to the workshop playfully, holding Ji Ling's piano in his hand.

"Whose?"

Hua's father just glanced at Hua Yin, asked coldly, and then concentrated on his piano.

"It belongs to Brother Ji. The string was broken by my daughter, so she has to take responsibility."

"Humph. Let him do it by himself."

Even though she was his own daughter, Hua's father did not break his own principles. Ji Ling also felt that it was respectful to visit in person, but he was still quite nervous when meeting Hua Yin's father for the first time.

So, in the afternoon of the next day, Ji Ling brought two bottles of the best daughter's red to see his future father-in-law, but Hua's father did not sell him, but asked him to play a verse.

Hua's father did not make any comments on Ji Ling's performance, but a week later, he received the piano in perfect condition.

Ji Ling felt that it was time to propose marriage, so he discussed with Hua Yin and found Hua's father. As a result, Hua's father immediately became furious when he heard that his daughter was going to marry Ji Ling, and the matchmaker was scolded by him and left in disgrace.

After that, every time Ji Ling came to visit, he didn't get good looks from Hua's father. Hua's father even threatened to break his dog's legs.

Anyway, he is an extremely difficult person to get along with. Aunt Li didn't move him even though she interceded.

Three months later, Hua's father asked Ji Ling to try the piano for the first time, and Ji Ling went without saying a word.

A good piano paired with a good piano player will naturally have excellent sound, but Hua's father was not satisfied. This month's reading of the piano absorbs the most yin energy in the world, and Ji Ling's pure yang performance always lacks a tune.

Father Hua knew that his piano needed someone as delicate and tender as a woman, and Ji Ling was obviously not the right candidate.

The irritable Father Hua put Yue Duqin aside and sent Ji Ling away.

After spending time together, Ji Ling had figured out Hua's father's temperament. Hua's father was an extremely dedicated person. He told Hua Yin that he would prepare some wood for Hua's father to make pianos.

Huayin shouted to follow.

So, they went up the mountain together as a couple of gods and goddesses, supporting and taking care of each other without feeling tired at all. The birds were singing happily, the woods were gloomy, and they were in the embrace of nature, enjoying a rare love.

Ji Ling's persistence finally moved Hua's stubborn father.
