All Hail Cousin Brother

I really didn't expect that even the naive ghost Chang'an is a master at hiding, and I don't know how many secrets my cousin hides? Thinking that in Baoning Temple before, she accidentally peeped through her cousin's deeds and asked someone to cut a strand of hair with a sword. Yu Youyao quickly shook her head, not daring to think any more.

Chang'an was holding a hatchet and was slicing the trees, making a "bang dang" and "bang dang" sound, and the tall Qingwu also began to shake violently.

The movement was so loud that the entire Yu Mansion was disturbed. After a while, a lot of people gathered near the Yuyu Courtyard, pointing at the towering Qingwu tree.

Even Mrs. Yu heard about it, and asked Madam Liu to help her into the yard: "How could this girl harm Qingwu?"

When Liu Mama heard this, she laughed: "How can this be, the old slave has already inquired about it clearly, it is the young master Biao who wants to teach the eldest young lady piano skills, and he wants to cut off the Sunshine Tree on the top of Qingwu and give it to the eldest lady. As for the qin, the paulownia wood in our mansion grows well, and it is still planted in the sunny place. Master Biao said that there is no better qin material than this.”

Mrs. Yu also laughed: "Oh, it's not easy to make a qin, it takes time, effort, and effort. A good qin lasts a year and a half, but it can't be done well in three or five years. When I think of Ling Huai as a child, I can still play the qin, I really have a heart."

Madam Liu: "Isn't it? The old slave was also surprised when he heard it."

The more Mrs. Yu said, the happier she said: "Learning the piano is good. Although the head of the daughter's family is virtuous, she should also learn some elegant things so that she can show her talent."

Yu Youyao was worried that after the Tongmu was cut off, it would fall from the top and hit people, so everyone in the yard stayed away, and pushed his cousin to the Wulang.

"Cousin, is it possible to make piano tires after cutting Tong Tong?" Yu Youyao asked curiously.

Zhou Linghuai shook his head: "It's not that easy." Seeing that the little girl looked at him with bright eyes, she seemed very interested, and explained: "The paulownia wood that was just cut off is wet wood, and it must be weighed first and then planed. It is dried and made into piano materials, and the best piano materials take seven to ten days to plan."

Yu Youyao wondered: "Why do you want to weigh the weight of paulownia?"

Zhou Linghuai explained: "The process of planing paulownia is also very particular, it needs to be fired in a kiln, charcoal is fired, and it is close to the wall. The paulownia is dry and seems to have a smoke color. The weight of paulownia is weighed. If it is reduced, it will be dry, and if it is prepared at the same time, the paulownia wood is dry, and it looks like smoke, and the four good things are the best..."

Yu Youyao was full of doubts, and pursed her lips: "This is too difficult. How can the dry wood after planing be as heavy as the wet wood that has just been chopped off?"

It is no wonder that throughout the ages, although there are many qin, there are few handed down famous qin.

Even Zhou Linghuai was dumbfounded by the question. The knowledge in it was too great, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while.

Seeing that his cousin was embarrassed, Yu Youyao felt more and more that it was not easy to cut the qin: "Cousin, it turns out that cutting the qin is so troublesome, and the process of planing is so complicated, and it takes a lot of time and effort, you still don't want to cut the qin for me, There is a "sound sound" left by my mother in my house, I heard that it is a famous piano handed down from the previous dynasty, and I learned it with my cousin, but it was very good."

After hearing this, Zhou Linghuai pursed her lips and said nothing.

Yu Youyao's scalp exploded. Cousin usually looks calm and indifferent, but after getting along for a while, she can probably feel some subtle emotional changes in her cousin.

Cousin is angry!

Just as he was about to open his mouth to explain, he heard the cold voice of cousin Lian: "Cousin, but you dislike the qin I made, are you not as good as a famous one?"

Yu Youyao's scalp was numb again, and quickly explained: "How can it be, I don't think it's too troublesome to play the piano, I'm tired and laborious, and I'm worried that I'll tire my cousin, drag my cousin's body down, and make my cousin suffer. ? My cousin's body is more important than a piano." As he said that, he squinted his eyes and glanced at his cousin's expression. Seeing that his expression softened, he quickly squatted in front of his cousin and raised his head. : "Cousin, please don't misunderstand me, I like everything that my cousin gives me."

This mouth was probably smeared with honey, Zhou Linghuai shook his head and laughed, how could he get angry: "Making a qin is slow work and meticulous work, looking at trouble, but it's not a matter of a day or two, doing it slowly also makes it easier, it doesn't matter. ."

That is, making the piano tires, as well as painting, drawing, carving, pondering, etc., there are more than a dozen processes, each of which takes a lot of time.

Zhou Linghuai planned to make a rarer lacquer violin, and he was even more particular about it. It would take at least a year and a half to paint layer by layer. Any error in one process would be ruined.

For the little girl, of course, it is the best.

He wasn't going to do it right away.

Yu Youyao was relieved: "Cousin do it slowly, I'm not in a hurry."

After that, I thought of the fan that I had embroidered earlier.

After knowing that her cousin was coming, she tucked it into her sleeve and prepared to give it to her cousin, but when she heard that his cousin wanted to cut Tong to play the piano for her, she forgot when she was happy.

At this moment, when I thought of it, I quickly took the fan from the cuff and looked at my cousin flatteringly: "Cousin, I have already embroidered the fan that I promised to give you earlier, take a look, my embroidery is Hasn't it grown a lot?"

Zhou Linghuai raised her eyebrows, exuding the charm of ink dyeing, and took over the fan.

On the one hand, the black bamboo is sparse, and its shape is quiet and pleasant. On the other hand, the black orchid has leaves as broad as bamboo, but it is narrow and vigorous, like a dragon going out to sea, and the lotus petals are dense and orderly.

The little girl's embroidery skills have improved a lot. Compared with the sachets around her waist, the stitches are already flat and tight, and the skills are still a little shallow.

Zhou Linghuai's throat tightened slightly: "In a short period of time, my cousin's embroidery skills have improved a lot. If I wanted to come to this fan, it took my cousin a lot of time and effort, and made my cousin work hard." Mou: "I didn't put much effort into the cursive script before, but it was more difficult for my cousin to embroider a fan, which made me take advantage of my cousin."

Yu Youyao was very happy: "I said early in the morning that I would give it to my cousin, but it was delayed for so long, but it was mine, didn't my cousin also give me the piano? A fan is not worth the trouble of picking a piano. I have to go to the Yuyu Academy to teach me calligraphy and my homework, and when it comes to taking advantage, I take advantage of my cousin the most.”

Zhou Linghuai's expression froze, but his smile did not diminish: "I made a fan bone with the excess yangtong wood after planing."

Yu Youyao nodded: "Cousin is really amazing, he can even make fans."

No matter how many times I heard this, it made people feel happy. Zhou Linghuai lightly rubbed the top of the little girl's hair: "Go to the study and teach you how to learn the piano."
