Chapter 37
The laughter was very low, but the celebration of gongs and drums in the yard had already stopped. Every move around him was heard into Yuan Shu's eyes and ears. He was angry, but he had nowhere to vent, so he could only stare at Wang Yan with his eyes tightly. His eyes were three points crazy, three points stubborn, and four points resentment.
Wang Yan pointed at the guqin and said word by word: "This zither is Sima Xiangru's green qin."
According to legend, during the Western Han Dynasty, King Liu Wu of Liang invited Sima Xiangru to write a fu, and Sima Xiangru wrote an article "Fu Ru Yu" to King Liang. This fu is magnificent and extraordinary. After reading it, King Liang was very satisfied and happy, so he gave the collected green zither to Sima Xiangru. Sima Xiangru used this zither to stir Zhuo Wenjun's heart, and made a song "Phoenix Seeking a Phoenix" to make a beautiful couple.
The Luqi Qin was listed as one of the four famous Qins in later generations. Nowadays, it is also famous in this era, even far exceeding the Jiaowei Qin in Cai Yong's hands.
When everyone heard Wang Yan's words, they all exclaimed. If this zither was really a Luqin, then Wang Yun was really lucky and actually bought such a treasure zither at a low price.
Yuan Shu didn't believe it at all and curled his lips and said, "Lu Qiqin disappeared after Sima Xiangru's death. Why do you decide?"
As a master of the piano, Cai Yong also looked at Wang Yan and waited for Wang Yan's explanation.
Countless eyes gathered on Wang Yan.
Wang Yan chuckled twice and said slowly: "It is because he is missing. If anyone has a Luqiqin, how can he make a decision? Ancient books record that the Luqin is black all over the body, and there is faint green in it, like green vines lingering on ancient trees, so it is called "Luqi". The whole body is black and the patterns are just in line with the description of Luqiqin and the appearance is already in line with the appearance."
Yuan Shu waved his hand decisively and said negatively: "There are many pianos with similar appearances, so it is easy to imitate them."
Wang Yan said again: "There are other records about the Luqi zither. There is a clear inscription inside the zither and says: 'Tongzi Hejing'. This is recorded in the zither, so you can observe it."
Yuan Shu was closest to him, and he looked over carefully, laughed and said wildly: "The inscription of this piano is vague and there are scratches. It is impossible to judge what word it is, and it cannot be proved that it is Lu Qiqin."
The rest of the people stepped forward to look at it.
After reading it, they whispered and talked a lot.
After checking the inscription, Cai Yong was also interested and said, "Wang Yan, tell me what you will think about next?"
Wang Yan replied: "The original Luqiqin has very clear inscriptions on the piano, but the inscriptions on this piano can no longer be seen clearly. But it is precisely because it cannot be seen clearly, but it can prove it."
"First, from the analysis of the vague length and width of the inscription, the length of the inscription is exactly four characters. In this way, it corresponds exactly to the four characters "Tongzi Hejing".
"Secondly, where the second word "Zi" is located, you can also see a vertical line that has not been completely erased."
"Third, there is also a trace left in the place where the last word "jing" is located."
