Chapter 1581 There is something very wrong with this notorious Cheng Sanlang. (Please subscribe and vote)
Master Luo is currently studying, and as the most famous and powerful master of stringed instruments in the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, I will not rest on my laurels, but make progress while learning, just like after helping Cheng Sanlang make two Cheng's Pipas some time ago.
It is as if he has discovered a new technique, and in addition, the problem of opening the sound hole mentioned by Cheng Sanlang.
After repeated research and experiments, Master Luo came to the conclusion that that thing did not conform to the concept of the Tang Dynasty's plucking instruments.
After all, after the sound hole is opened, the sound will change greatly, and it will not be easy to coexist harmoniously with other instruments.
Of course, he still rigorously recorded this reason.
However, the Cheng family pipa that Cheng Sanlang requested to make was really too big in Master Luo's opinion.
After all, the weight of the material used for the instrument is so heavy. Except for a fat and strong old man like Cheng Sanlang, no ordinary musician would have that much strength.
Therefore, after repeated research, Master Luo decided to make a variant of Cheng's Pipa: the short-necked Cheng's Pipa.
And now a sample has been produced. In short, it is short and the neck is not long. If you stand on the table and stand at a distance to admire it.
It will make you feel like this is a gourd cut open.
Just as Master Luo was working diligently on research, noisy footsteps came again...
#####
After Cheng Chubi entered Master Luo's room, he saluted Master Luo with a smile.
"Cheng has met Master Luo."
Seeing Cheng Sanlang, Master Luo didn't want to talk to him, but the problem was that there was a prince squatting next to him, so he could only smile and salute.
"...It turns out to be Young Master Cheng. I have met Young Master Cheng and His Highness."
After Gu Taile stepped forward, he turned to Master Luo and waited until he heard that he wanted to play several Cheng's Pipas.
Master Luo was immediately unhappy. "Your Highness, it's not that I'm unhappy, but that I really can't make so many Cheng-style pipas."
"Making musical instruments emphasizes the unity of body and mind. When I was entrusted by His Highness to make musical instruments for Mr. Cheng, I worked hard to make two of them..."
Master Luo was gibbering. Anyway, he was going back and forth with the same idea.
Not to mention it was His Majesty's handwriting, but His Majesty came in person, so that's it.
Cheng Chubi was a little angry when he heard this, but when he saw Li Ke's frequent glances, he thought about it, the girly art people are indeed very pretentious.
"What's going on? I didn't expect that Master Luo was so unscrupulous that he actually gave me two hands, one to your father and one to your grandfather. What's left is nothing."
Li Ke shook his head helplessly and whispered towards Cheng Chubi.
"Well, it seems there is no hope. This Master Luo is a rare pipa maker in our dynasty, but his temper is as famous as his craftsmanship."
"Then our trip was in vain?" Cheng Chubi spread his hands with a look of displeasure on his face.
I came here with the intention of plundering the imperial court and taking advantage of it.
Unexpectedly, I was stuck on Master Luo. It was not impossible to find other craftsmen from the Taile Department.
But the problem is, compared with Master Luo, the level and grade of those craftsmen are like super professional players and high-level amateur players.
Otherwise, this old man who is nearly seventy years old and has a bad temper will not be allowed to continue to make weapons here.
Seeing Cheng Sanlang and Li Ke staying here, muttering quietly, looking like they wanted to continue to entangle themselves.
Master Luo said impatiently. "Your Highness, Mr. Cheng, I'm going to make a weapon. Could you please step aside. When I'm making a weapon, I don't want to have anyone around me."
Cheng Chubi looked at this pretentious craftsman with a smile and said.
"Chengchengcheng, let's go. Master Luo, I wonder if you can help me make a few more Cheng's Pipas in a while."
Well, do you know that my craftsmanship is something that no one else can ask for? Last time, if I hadn’t been happy with my hunting heart, I saw new techniques and musical instruments.
Then I reluctantly gave you a couple of tricks, but now Cheng Sanlang is so shameless that he actually wants to use himself as a coolie.
Master Luo suddenly became unhappy and said rather coldly.
"I'm really sorry. After I plan to make weapons for His Majesty and the Emperor, I need to recuperate my energy. I won't do it again in a year or two."
After hearing what Master Luo said, Gu Taile on the side didn't understand what Master Luo meant, and smiled apologetically at Cheng Sanlang.
"This is Master Luo's habit, please don't be weird, Master Cheng."
Cheng Chubi waved his hand with a smile, then put his hand on his back and walked unsteadily to the short-necked Cheng's pipa, looking at it curiously.
"Master Luo, why do I think this thing looks so similar to Cheng's Pipa?"
Master Luo didn't even want to talk to him anymore, he closed his eyes and looked like he was beginning to rest.
However, Gu Taile is not the talented and arrogant Master Luo.
He quickly walked over to Cheng Sanlang and explained a few words in a low voice. This is what Master Luo has been doing these days, according to the Cheng family's pipa.
Drawing on some of these techniques, the short-neck Cheng's pipa was produced. It not only maintains the previous tone, but also greatly improves the weight and portability.
Hearing this, Cheng Chubi took the thing in his hand, and then played a few chords. He had to admit that Master Luo's product was indeed a treasure.
"The sound is really beautiful, far better than the Cheng Pipa made by craftsmen outside."
Over there, although Master Luo was not willing to deal with Cheng Sanlang, who was always trying to tease him, he still smiled reservedly when he was praised.
I feel a little more favorable towards Cheng Sanlang in my heart. This guy at least knows a little bit about music theory.

Cheng Chubi saw Li Ke standing next to him, looking enviously at the Cheng short-necked pipa in his arms. Master Gu over there was flattering Master Luo and ignored him.
Rolling his eyes, it seems that this old guy no longer intends to make Cheng's Pipa for himself, which is really annoying.
Just when Cheng Sanlang was thinking a lot and was angry and unwilling.
Li Ke next to him stretched out his hands that loved taking advantage of others.
"Brother Chu Bi, what are you doing with me? Let me appreciate it and play with it."
"Haha..." Cheng Chubi saw the greed in Li Ke's eyes and immediately became vigilant.
Suddenly, he had a bold idea, let's just take it as one last piece of Master Luo's wool.
Cheng Chubi suddenly looked back at Gu Taile and Master Luo with a smile.
That malicious smile instantly made Gu Taile and Master Luo laugh until their anus tightened.
Master Luo's heart rang with alarm bells. Although he didn't know what would happen next, he always felt that something was wrong with the notorious Cheng Sanlang.
