AWB Chapter 356 Priceless Treasure
Chapter 356 Priceless Treasure
"what?"
Shen Wei was stunned again and scratched his head, wondering if he had misunderstood.
"Whatever. What I want is a teacher who can teach me to play the guqin seriously."
Lin Fan really wanted to teach him a lesson. Was this guy doing all these tricks to test people's willpower?
What decent person could stand such a test!
"Oh, Brother Fan, I was wrong, I thought..."
Shen Wei gave an awkward smile and looked at the ten young musicians.
"Actually, their piano skills are pretty good. Do you want to listen?"
"Listen...listen?" Lin Fan wanted to decline, but seeing each girl had a guqin placed before them, it was clear they were ready to showcase their talents. He wondered if refusing would be too unkind.
He always considered himself kind, especially when it came to beautiful women, so he decided not to refuse.
"Well, then listen to it. Since you are here, you might as well enjoy it."
Shen Wei smiled and nodded, then pulled Lin Fan to sit down.
"Come on, Brother Fan, let's enjoy some elegant music tonight."
"Okay, then let's listen. It can be considered a kind of spiritual cultivation."
As soon as the two sat down, ten musicians stood up and bowed lightly.
"Please introduce yourself first." Shen Wei suggested.
"Hello, Mr. Lin, Hello, Mr. Shen, I'm from the Music Department of Wucheng University..."
"Hello, Mr. Lin, Hello, Mr. Shen, I'm from the Beijing Conservatory of Music..."
Ten musicians were introduced one by one, their sounds clear and pleasant.
"Brother Fan, what do you think? This is much more stylish than introducing yourself at a KTV, right? Listen, they're all top students from top music schools."
Shen Wei said with a smile. Lin Fan nodded involuntarily. It was indeed unusual. Not only did they explain their academic backgrounds, but they also used their real names.
In KTV, what you usually hear are stage names.
"Come on, start with you and play a song for us."
Shen Wei pointed to the woman on the far left.
"Ok."
The girl sat in front of the guqin and began to pluck the strings slowly.
Lin Fan and Shen Wei stopped talking and listened intently. As expected, the professional performance was refreshing and enjoyable.
When the song was over, the girl stood up and bowed again.
"next."
Shen Wei nodded and signaled the next person to play.
The girls took turns playing, and Lin Fan's fingers gently tapped the rhythm to the melody, gradually becoming immersed in it.
When everyone finished playing, Shen Wei turned to Lin Fan and asked, "Brother Fan, what are the plans for next?"
"How to arrange?"
Lin Fan was a little surprised.
"Hey, are you going to listen to music and drink at the same time? Or do you have other plans?"
Shen Wei moved closer and whispered.
"Brother Fan, there are rooms upstairs available."
Lin Fan immediately understood what he meant.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not that kind of person. I just want to enjoy the music quietly tonight."
"How do we listen? Here, or in the room upstairs?"
Shen Wei asked, blinking his eyes.
"Of course I listened to it right here."
Lin Fan lit a cigarette, thought for a moment, and stood up.
"I'm going to be out for a while, and I'll be right back."
"Huh? Okay."
Although Shen Wei felt strange, he didn't ask any more questions. After Lin Fan left the room, he took out the Fuxi Qin from his storage ring.
Although they are still students, they should have a solid foundation in theoretical knowledge. By discussing with them first, perhaps we can gain a deeper understanding of the secrets of the Fuxi Qin.
Lin Fan brought the Fuxi Qin back to the room and carefully placed it on the central table. The appearance of the Fuxi Qin immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Where did this guitar come from?" Shen Wei thought to himself and walked closer to take a closer look.
"Brother Fan, where does this zither come from? It looks like an antique." he asked.
"It is indeed an antique."
"How much is it worth?"
“This is a priceless treasure.”
"Priceless treasure?" Shen Wei was quite surprised, because even after following Lin Fan to visit antique markets, he had never heard the other party use such a high evaluation.
"Come, everyone, come and take a look. Do you recognize what kind of piano this is? Do you know how to play it?" Lin Fan invited.
"However, you can only admire it from a distance and not play with it. This is because the Fuxi Qin is very special."
It wasn't that Lin Fan was being stingy, but rather that the Fuxi Qin was incredibly powerful. Once the sound rang out, even gods wouldn't be able to resist it, let alone mortals, who could face unforeseen consequences.
When these girls heard the words "priceless treasure", they dared not act rashly, for fear that they would accidentally destroy such a precious cultural relic.
They gathered around the zither. Although they knew little about antiques, they could feel the extraordinary nature of this zither, which was even better than what was described in the book.
"If anyone can recognize this zither or know how to play it, there will be a generous reward," Lin Fan promised, and turned to Shen Wei: "Help me find a professional zither player as soon as possible."
"I see. You didn't explain it clearly last time. I thought you were just trying to be pretentious." Shen Wei said with a wry smile.
"You're overthinking it." Lin Fan rolled his eyes.
"Mr. Lin, although I don't know the specific origin of this guqin, I have read a similar description in a book..."
One of the girls spoke up.
“The way this guqin is played is different from the modern way,” she continued.
"It's very similar to the legendary Fuxi Qin..." another girl added.
"It is said that the Fuxi Qin is the best qin in the world." Other girls joined in the discussion.
As the conversation progressed, Lin Fan gained a better understanding of the Fuxi Qin, especially its playing techniques, which made him feel like he could give it a try. However, he didn't act rashly, intending to find a deserted place to try again.
"Thank you everyone, Old Shen, you understand." Lin Fan said to Shen Wei.
"I understand. A generous reward is inevitable."
Shen Wei nodded in response.
"Well, I'll take my leave now. Please let me know when you find a suitable musician." Lin Fan glanced at the time and prepared to leave.
"Are you really leaving?" Shen Wei was a little surprised. Facing such a beautiful scenery, Lin Fan had no intention of staying. What a tough guy!
People often say that heroes cannot escape the charm of beauties, but Brother Fan’s charm even surpasses that of heroes!
"Of course, you can also choose to do nothing."
Lin Fan patted Shen Wei's shoulder, then left the club with the Fuxi Qin.
"Ah... If I hadn't been so busy lately and couldn't stay out overnight, I would definitely be willing to chat with them all night."
After Lin Fan left the club, he put away his Fuxiqin and drove back to his villa. As he was about to reach home, he suddenly thought of a question: Now that his relationship with Zhao Ziqing was confirmed, where should he sleep tonight?
Is it upstairs in Zhao Ziqing's room?
Or the guest room downstairs?
Just as I was thinking about it, my phone rang.
"Going home tonight?"
"Go home, I'll be there soon."
Lin Fan replied quickly.
"Oh, then you should stay in the guest room downstairs. Good night."
