Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 32 The Golden Terrace

It is said that its first owner was Boya. Later it was passed into the hands of Duke Huan of Qi and was controlled by "Hao Zhong", a subordinate of Duke Huan of Qi.

'Hao Zhong' has no name, but is named after Qin.

The sound of this piano is loud and loud, just like the sound of bells and the long blast of trumpets, which makes people feel excited. When Duke Huan of Qi conquered the Lu Kingdom, the "Hao Zhong" played military music on the carillon, which greatly boosted the morale of the Qi army. Shang Qi's power was like a broken bamboo, and he returned with a great victory.

Together with King Zhuang of Chu's Yaoliang Qin, it is collectively known as the most precious treasure in the music world.

The one in Lu Wei's hand was a high imitation, bought from the system mall at a high price.

The real carillon has long been lost, perhaps following its last owner underground.

Therefore, although his hand is indeed fake, Lu Wei can shamelessly claim that it is genuine!

After playing the song "Swallow Wind", Gao Jianli slowly opened his eyes. He felt the breakthrough of internal force in his body, but he felt no pleasure. He only looked at the black piano under his hand silently, feeling extremely reluctant to let go.

"As expected of the tavern musician Gao Jianli, the song Yan Feng is really passionate and impressive, which makes people admire him!"

Lu Wei didn't understand music at all, but Gao Jianli's playing just now was able to arouse the emotions of the audience, and it was clear at a glance whether his skills were good or bad.

"It's not my fault, but it's really my ability to call the bell!"

Reluctantly standing up from the main seat, Gao Jianli tried his best to restrain his desires and bowed to Lu Wei:
"It's not a pity to die if you have to play this piano once. Manager Lu saved Gao Jianli's two lives. From now on, if you are ordered, I will do my best to help!"

"I went to Shu Town specifically to find out your location. I came to rescue you and just took advantage of the situation."

Hearing Gao Jianli's words, Lu Wei smiled, turned to the window, opened the small window and looked at the streets of Jicheng.

It was not a secret that he mobilized the peasant disciples to search for Gao Jianli, so Lu Wei simply took advantage of the opportunity to tell it personally to plug the last loophole in the plan.

"I wonder what Manager Lu is looking for?"

Gao Jianli was really surprised, but since the other party said it without any scruples, it showed that he was an aboveboard person.

"In two weeks, I need to entertain the housekeeper of Lord Yan Chun's house." Lu Wei said with a smile: "He loves music very much, and the playing of ordinary violinists will not be able to listen to him."

"I heard that there is a piano master named Gao in Yanjing. Although he is young, he can play wonderful music, so I gave the order to my disciples with the attitude of giving it a try."

"It was an unintentional move. I didn't want to know that you were near Jicheng, so I went to take a look."

"Judging from the song Yan Feng just now, I found the right person~"

"Steward Lu is overly praised." After hearing this, Gao Jianli showed a clear look and cupped his hands: "Playing music is the job of a violinist. Thanks to Steward Lu, I am willing to play for you!"

"Alas" Lu Wei suddenly sighed at this time: "To compliment Mr. Yan Chun, it is really the farmer's choice. Master Gao Qin is from Yan, and he must understand what Mr. Yan Chun does on a daily basis."

"It is really a waste of resources to let an elegant luthier like you please a powerful butler."

"Manager Lu is worrying too much." Gao Jianli saw Lu Wei's unbearable expression and took the initiative to comfort him: "People in the world have suffered from tyrannical people for a long time, but most of the time they have to bow to these thieves."

"When I was young, I only wanted to show off my strength for a while, and offended those powerful people. I have been hunted for three years."

"Although I still don't regret what I did at that time, if I think about it carefully, if I could have lowered my head at that time, I would not have ended up where I am now without violating morality."

"The fault is not with you, but with the world!"

Lu Wei turned around and put his right hand on Gao Jianli's shoulder: "Let's not talk about this anymore. In addition to arranging the performance in two weeks, I have one more thing to ask Master Gao!"

"Please give me your orders, Manager Lu!"

Gao Jianli looked at Lu Wei sincerely. Since his escape, although he had thought about changing his aloof character, no one could catch his eye after three years.

Today, except Lu Wei.

"Actually, I just thought of this~" Lu Wei raised his lips, walked around Gao Jianli in front of him, and walked to the main seat of the room:
"Master Gao Qin, would you like to take care of this piano for Mr. Lu~"

He picked up the bell and smiled brightly.

"This!" Gao Jianli felt as if his head had been hit by a giant cauldron. He was so dizzy that he couldn't speak. He said, "This, this, this" for a long time, and couldn't hold back the next word.

"This piano is a family heirloom, but as you can see, I don't understand music. Keeping it with me will just gather ashes."

“Master Gao Qin just played Yan Feng on this Qin, it was a perfect match~”

"I don't want the treasure to be covered with dust, and I appreciate the piano master's character and skills."

"Are you willing to accept this thing?"

"I" Gao Jianli took a long time to realize: "This piano is the most precious treasure in the world."

He struggled for a long time, unable to say the word "no": for any luthier, the bell is a treasure more important than life.

Regardless of the moral aspect, Gao Jianli could not do it now if he had to personally say that he would give up the carillon.

With his head spinning, he was confused for a moment, and immediately subconsciously wanted to kneel down.

Lu Wei held the piano with one hand and used his inner strength with the other hand to support the other person: "If you don't refuse, I will assume that you have agreed."

"Pick up the piano!"

After that, he threw the bell in his hand towards the other party.

Gao Jianli hugged the black piano in a daze and touched the body of the piano with his own hands before regaining consciousness.

Putting the clock aside seriously, he stood up straight in front of Lu Wei, bent his knees, took the initiative to use his skills to fight against the internal forces that were blocking him, and broke through the obstacles Lu Wei randomly set with a bang, kneeling down. Falling to the ground:
"Manager Lu's kindness today, Gao Jianli is willing to repay it with his life!"

------

Is it worth it to exchange a hundred gold for Gao Jianli's life?
Lu Wei wanted to say: It’s not worth it now.

But if the plot develops smoothly, more than ten years later, Yan Dan, the Mohist giant, dies in the battle of Guancheng and Jing Tianming takes over as the new giant.

As the nominal second-in-command of the Mohist family and actually the temporary leader of the Mohist family, Gao Jianli's value will exceed one million gold!

This is a one-million-dollar business.

This was also the reason why Lu Wei did not invite Gao Jianli to join the farmhouse after donating the piano.

In that case, no matter what he asked Gao Jianli to do, he would probably agree impulsively.

But Shanyu Konoha is easy to use now, and Gao Jianli is no longer a necessity.

Now, instead of accepting a subordinate with a paranoid and upright personality, it is better to keep him as a 'friend' first.

After all, the game of 'pretend to be friends' can be fun to play occasionally. I just hope that Gao Jianli won't let himself feel tired of playing it in the future.

The matter here has come to an end for the time being. Next, we have to test it out with Yan Chunjun head-on.

First, let’s start with the banquet with the butler of Yan Chunjun’s house.

After the banquet, I counted the time and made plans for Daze Mountain. This year was really busy.

Golden Terrace, the most luxurious restaurant in Jicheng.

It is taken from the allusion of "King Yanzhao paid tribute to Guo Wei and built a golden platform, and the wise men of the six countries came from the west and south."

The expenses here are high, but fortunately this time we used public funds from the farmers.

Naturally, this 'golden platform' would not attract celebrities such as Ju Xin, Zou Yan, Le Yi, Su Dai, etc. to come to it. Only such mundane things as Lu Wei's banquet with Yan Chunjun's housekeeper would happen.

Half an hour later than the appointed time, the housekeeper of Yan Chunjun's residence held his head high and stepped onto the steps of the 'Golden Terrace' amid the compliments of Lu Wei, who had been waiting at the hotel door early.

In terms of posture, he is even more beautiful than Le Yi, who used to be the general of King Yanzhao's golden platform.
