When all the guests to be invited arrived, Kaza let everyone sit down first, while he went upstairs with his head held high and his stomach puffed up to get his qin.
The coffee table seats are arranged in a circle, with two rosewood qin tables placed in the middle, one high and one low. Several ceramic lotus incense burners are placed on the four sides of the hallway, and the boy burns the spices inside. The incense burners emit a lingering fragrance that gradually permeates the entire floor.
The fragrance is clear and light, lingering between the nostrils. With a gentle sniff, the fragrance immediately seeps into the heart and spleen, as if about to ascend to immortality, making one's limbs and bones feel incredibly comfortable. Sitting on the rosewood chair, Li Tianzong closed his eyes slightly, holding the tea bowl without moving, savoring the fragrance carefully. It had a musky taste, with a hint of earthy, moss, and even woody fragrance, as if fragrant and sweet.
It must be ambergris to have such a strange and complex fragrance. Li Tianzong chuckled lightly as he lifted the tea bowl and took a sip. The familiar and refreshing taste was none other than tea. Before even appreciating the qin, I entered a peaceful and far-reaching state of mind, and later I will be able to hear the wonderful sound of the qin even more. Today's gathering is unforgettable!
This card is a good trick! Li Tianzong secretly praised in his heart, half squinted his eyes and scanned, but did not see Ye Feng's figure. It seems that Kaza has firmly adhered to the elegant route. He turned his head to look at Yang Yu sitting on the other side of the rosewood coffee table and smiled, "Sister Yu, can you also enjoy tea now
Yang Yu smiled lightly without saying a word, her tender mouth pressed against the edge of the bowl, the tea bowl elegantly tilted slightly, and a leisurely look appeared in her bright eyes.
Since being embarrassed by Li Tianzong once, she felt even more eager to learn the tea ceremony. After returning home, she read the "Zhuzi Tea Classic" and purchased various types of tea leaves to learn how to make and taste tea. It's strange to say that the previously bland and tasteless clear tea suddenly became comfortable and pleasant. She gradually fell in love with that kind of refreshing and mild taste, and even drank less alcohol.
The refreshing and astringent taste of tea is like the time spent with Li Tianzong, where the warmth and sweetness are accompanied by a subtle bitterness.
Tianzong, is this Qiaocha? "Yang Yu put down her tea bowl and asked proudly. Although she had only been learning tea for a short time, she had made rapid progress and was even more familiar with the Qiaocha mentioned by Li Tianzong.
Li Tianzhong shook his head, not even in the Dao realm; Yang Yu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and open her round almond eyes. "What kind of tea is this, so similar to Qiao tea?" Li Tianzong raised his sword eyebrows and smiled, "This is called making up for winter tea." Yang Yu snorted angrily and said shyly, "Stubborn child
As they were chatting with no one around, a thud of footsteps came down the bamboo ladder. Kaza was seen holding a rosewood qin box diagonally, struggling to come down, and her chubby face covered in flesh was oozing with sweat. With such a bulky figure, carrying a long qin downstairs, if one step is not steady, they will roll down the bamboo ladder, causing injury to both the person and the qin!
Mr. Kaza, be absolutely careful! "Lin Xuan shouted loudly, his face full of anxiety and worry.
Seeing that everyone was in a hurry, but no one left their seats to help, Li Tianzong couldn't help but furrow his brows. What kind of Aegean is this!
Qiqi hesitated whether to help or not when she suddenly saw Li Tian standing tall and walking briskly to the stairs across from her. She felt ashamed and felt that compared to Li Gongzi, she was too superficial.
Kaza finally walked a nerve wracking distance and came down the stairs. Li Tianzong said, "Let me take it." Kaza was sweating profusely and panting heavily, but of course, he was extremely happy and handed him the piano case filled with greenery.
After all, he is young and strong, and Li Tianzong exercises his body every day regardless of wind and rain. He holds a qin horizontally, which is more than enough. Walking to the center of the chair, he placed the qin box on the high rosewood scroll book qin table. At this moment, many talented scholars stood up and left their seats, surrounding them.
Quickly open the qin case and see if this green and beautiful qin is real or fake! "Exclaimed a impatient scholar.
Kaza stood by the piano case, wiping away the sweat on his forehead, and chuckled at the words: 'It's definitely authentic, but I know my words are unfounded. Let's authenticate it first!' He took it out of his pocket, his chubby right hand had a key, reached for the small lock of the piano case, and opened it with a click. He cleared the case with a light cough, and a burst of piano fragrance overflowed, revealing the Yao Qin.
Everyone immediately let out a cry of surprise, because the surface of the green zither lying quietly in the rosewood box was covered with broken plum blossom patterns! You need to know what kind of broken patterns are on the body of the qin, and what kind of existence time it has. And this plum blossom broken pattern only appeared after a thousand years. Even if it is not the one played by Sima Xiangru, this green and beautiful qin is extremely rare and precious!
Everyone, please take note! "Kaza carefully took out the Green Qiqin from the box, removed the rosewood box and placed it on the ground, with the qin placed on the table.
Li Tianzong naturally won't be polite. First of all, upon identification, this green and beautiful qin is about four feet long, six inches wide, and two inches thick. It is painted black and has a hidden qin fragrance. He first wanted to find the inscription of the Lvqi Qin. According to records, there was an inscription in the Lvqi Qin, which said, "Tongzi essence", meaning the essence of the combination of tung wood and catalpa wood. This clue also showed the material of the Qin, the surface of tung and the bottom of catalpa.
Turning over the jade qin, I saw that there was indeed a Yin script engraved in the Li style on the back of the qin, which was the four characters "Tongzi Hejing". He gently stroked the cut, and the touch told him that it was the original version; He leaned in his nose, took a deep breath of the qin body, closed his eyes, and distinguished whether it was Tongmu or Zimu.
Qiqi furrowed her willow eyebrows, blinked her watery eyes, and nervously looked at Li Tianzong. When he looked up, his face remained the same, and without saying a word, he flipped through the Yaoqin before identifying the authenticity of those broken plum blossoms.
The reason why the qin has broken lines is because the surface of the qin is made of soft wood. In order to protect it from long-term wear and have a sound transmission effect, a gray tire will be coated under the surface paint; The surface paint and gray tire are stacked layer by layer, and the wood, gray, and paint are subject to different vibrations and thermal expansion over time, resulting in different fracture patterns on the qin.
There are many methods to fake broken patterns, such as baking the piano body with high heat and then stimulating it with ice and snow to make it crack; Alternatively, protein can be infused into the ash and painted, then steamed and air dried, and so on. However, no matter how fake it is, it is difficult to escape the word "natural". The true broken pattern is smooth in shape, with the tail disappearing and the peak resembling a sword blade; And those counterfeit ones, with straight and broken lines, are full of flaws.
The broken patterns of this green zither are like plum blossoms, flowing and beautiful; After looking at the surface, Li Tianzong touched and sniffed it again, but did not smell any baking odor. He touched it without feeling dry. After a lot of tinkering, he finally put down the Yaoqin.
With both hands on the new string, Li Tianzong casually plucked it up, and the sound of the qin was like a jade bead falling on a plate, with excellent timbre. He stopped his hands and glanced at Qiqi and Yang Yu, then smiled and said, "There's nothing fake about this Green Qiqin. It's indeed passed down from the Han Dynasty! As for whether it was the one Sima Xiangru used to play 'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix', it's unknown
