"I like it." Wei Zi confessed: "The buildings here are beautiful."
A beauty soaked in time and full of vitality.
Feng Weihuan couldn't help but smile and said: "Miss Wei San, you are really special. Everyone comes here to see girls, but you come here to see houses!"
Wei Zi smiled and said, "Girl, I want to see it too."
"Let's go, then let's go see the girls. Let me tell you, the sisters here are really incomparable to the ladies here in the imperial capital in playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting..."
"The flute player is Sister Luzhu."
"The painter is Sister Danqing."
"The person who is adjusting the strings is the oiran from Baihualou—Sister Si Tong. What's wrong?" Feng Weihuan got along well with the girls in Baihualou.
"I've been tuning this piano for a long time but I still can't get it right." Si Tong was very annoyed.
"Miss, it's almost done. I can't even hear anything wrong." The maid next to her didn't want Si Tong to continue sulking over a piano.
"What do you know? If you are just playing the piano for an 'almost' purpose, then you might as well play the suona!" Si Tong became even more angry.
Wei Zi carefully looked at the Qixuan Qin in front of the court lady.
In modern times, she has restored several guqins, and also studied the guqin for a period of time out of curiosity and interest.
Seeing that the piano in front of her was similar to the repaired one, she said, "Miss Si Tong, can I try it out?"
Si Tong raised his head, quickly looked at Wei Zi, and asked Feng Weihuan: "Weihuan, who is this?"
"She is my good friend, Sister Wei Ziwei." Feng Weihuan smiled sweetly, showing no harm to humans or animals.
Si Tong was a little hesitant. She was not willing to let the craftsmen touch the piano because she thought they were vulgar.
"It's okay." Seeing this, Wei Zi smiled gently at Si Tong: "Excuse me."
"Oh, let's go somewhere else." Feng Weihuan is also very discerning.
The few people were about to leave, but Si Tong stood up: "Stay, Miss Wei, that will be troublesome."
Wei Zi was a little surprised.
Si Tong smiled: "This Qin is an inheritance from my ancestors, and I have always regarded it as a treasure." She also came from a scholarly family, and her eyesight was naturally extraordinary. She could tell that the people in front of her had extraordinary status, and Wei Zi's temperament was graceful and noble.
No ordinary person.
"This piano is indeed rare in the world." Wei Zi smiled faintly and sat down calmly.
She plucked the strings and listened carefully to each note several times.
It is true that it is "almost" as Maid Si Tong said. If someone is not proficient in music, it would be difficult to hear anything wrong. However, it is true that the sound of one string is slightly louder.
It's not a string problem, it's a guitar body problem.
"Qin was flooded two days ago, right?" Wei Zi asked Si Tong.
Si Tong was surprised: "Well, a guest accidentally spilled tea on the piano the day before yesterday." She was so angry that she almost kicked that person out.
Wei Zi nodded: "Do you have cotton cloth?"
Si Tong asked the maid to get some cotton cloth.
Wei Zi found the joint of the guqin, opened it slightly, and carefully absorbed water with cotton cloth.
Seeing water seeping out, Si Tong suddenly realized: "I thought the water was cleaned that day!"
"This place is really easy to overlook." Wei Zi drank the water for a while and then tried the strings again. Well, it was better than before, but there were still some small flaws.
"Let it dry for another two days in a ventilated place. When the water inside is completely removed, it will be the same as before."
"Thank you, Miss Wei!" Si Tong was proficient in music, and naturally he could hear that the sound of the piano had recovered a lot.
"You're welcome."
Wei Zi was about to stand up when she heard Si Tong say: "Miss Wei is so familiar with the piano, and she must be a master of it. I wonder if it would be an honor to hear Miss Wei play a piece of music?"
