Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

Xiao Lan picked up the zither with both hands, placed it on the table in front of her like a baby, sat upright, and stroked the strings with both hands.

Zhou Chang instantly and clearly felt a warm current rolling through his heart.

"Ding ding dong dong..."

Xiao Lan loosened his fingers and instantly entered a state of selflessness.

Zhou Chang was never an expert at playing the zither, but he felt that the sound produced by the zither was more ethereal, as if the sound was floating in the sky.

Once the song ends, it lingers in the ears for three days.

Yuan Qiqiuhong's eyes were filled with tears, and he choked up for a long time: "As the saying goes, 'a sword is given to a hero', this zither should be waiting for you, Master Xiao."

"How can I just accept such a good piano?" Zhou Chang could feel that Xiao Lan was also excited and didn't know what to say.

"If Master Xiao really loves the guqin, he should accept it." Yuan Qi gazed at the guqin with a loving look. "It has never seen the light of day if it is kept here by me. Although I don't understand the guqin, I have heard my mother say that the relationship between a good guqin and its master is like that between good friends and confidants, and they depend on each other."

"This..." Zhou Chang wanted to take it for Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan's hands unconsciously stroked the strings repeatedly.

"Sometimes I really envy Master Xiao." Yuan Qi's clear voice became long.

"Do you envy me?" Although Zhou Chang also envied people with special skills, he envied Yuan Qi even more.

Yuan Qi's gaze on the guqin never changed. "My mother loves the guqin, but at most she can only play a piece of music in this walled yard in her spare time. Who can understand her? As for me, although I was born and raised in wealth, my life is just tied to the Yuan family and my father's favor. I have no other strengths to settle down. If we talk about freedom, it is still Master Xiao who is free. At least I have escaped from the body and identity of a woman, and I can be myself in the mountains and rivers."

After these words were spoken, Zhou Chang also felt the same way.

"Please accept this zither, Master Xiao. It will help me fulfill my mother's wish." Yuan Qi insisted on giving the zither as a gift.

Without waiting for Zhou Chang to hesitate, Xiao Lan stroked the strings of the zither and nodded in agreement: "In this case, I have nothing to repay you with. I can only cherish this zither for the rest of my life and pass it down to future generations."

Yuan Qi nodded with satisfaction: "If this is possible, it would be great. My mother's spirit in heaven will surely be comforted."

Xiao Lan's hands rubbed the strings of the zither uncontrollably, and Zhou Chang noticed that there were two small characters carved on the top of the zither: "Fang Xing? Is this the name of this zither?"

Yuan Qi nodded: "Mother once mentioned that the master who made the zither said that every zither has its own name when it is born, and it will also have its own destiny in the future. Although mother is willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, if the zither meets its destined person one day, it will leave mother's side. Now it seems that Master Xiao is this destined person."

Zhou Chang's heart suddenly moved: "Fang Xing, from now on I will be called Fang Xing, the female zither player is like Fang Xing in a dream."

"Yes," Yuan Qi clapped his hands, "This name is very good, and it fits this zither, like rebirth."

Zhou Chang could feel that Xiao Lan's consciousness was also becoming excited.

Yuan Qi added: "Since we have a new name, I will ask Uncle He to find a way to create an identity for Xiao Qin... No, now she is a Fang Qin Shi, with this name. However, female Qin Shi were originally from the Jiaofang, and only a few of them redeemed themselves to leave the music industry, so even if they become civilians, their status is not high."

"This is already very good." Zhou Chang sensed that Xiao Lan was truly satisfied.

"Now that the name is decided, the next thing is where to go. Sister Fang can't stay in Jindu anymore." Yuan Qi naturally changed the name. After finishing one thing, he moved on to the second one. "Originally, I thought of two directions for Sister Fang last night. If you don't have a better plan, you can consider one or two."

"Miss Yuan has taken so much trouble, how can I accept it." Zhou Chang could not express his gratitude enough no matter how many words he said.

"The Yuan family has teaching houses in both Nanqing and Qimei. Master Fang Qin can go there to be a teacher. Women in Nanqing are good at singing and dancing, so many are sent to our Dalin every year. The disadvantage is that there are too many people and there is a risk of being recognized." Yuan Qi introduced one by one, "As for Qimei, the women there have exotic styles, but the folk customs are rough, so the teaching house was established three years ago. There are no teachers there yet, and it is just a transit point to facilitate the trafficking of people in."

Zhou Chang was in no position to make a choice for Xiao Lan, so he stepped back intentionally.

As soon as he stepped back, Xiao Lan's answer came to mind: "I choose the Qimei tribe. It is outside the Great Wall, so few people must go there. It is safer."

Yuan Qi had no preference: "Qimei's environment will be a hundred times worse than Nanqing's. If Sister Fang chooses this, she must be mentally prepared."

"It doesn't matter, as long as I can start over there, be myself again, stay there forever, with the sky as my home and the earth as my bed, and have Fang Xing as my companion, the rest of my life will be enough." Zhou Chang said this on behalf of Xiao Lan.

"If Sister Fang doesn't mind the harsh environment, I heard that the women there are all bold and cheerful, so life for women there must be very broad." Yuan Qi smiled happily, happy for Xiao Lan, and even had a gleam of envy in his eyes.

Then the two talked about some details and plans.

Finally, Zhou Chang wanted to ask about Yuan Qi's situation, but he could not find a suitable opportunity.

Yuan Qi was thinking about Xiao Lan wholeheartedly, but there was always a lingering sadness between his brows, which made her know without thinking that things in the Yuan family would not get better. At most, the emperor's decree had not yet been issued.

The most difficult time is when you stretch your neck and wait for the guillotine to fall.

She also needs to take action quickly.

Just as I sent Yuan Qi out, the prompt from the viewpoint system sounded in my mind:

"Ding, the customer canceled the order for the Golden Abacus."

"Ding, the customer canceled the order for the mutton-fat jade monogram."

"Ding, the customer canceled the order for the jade monogram."

"That's more like it. These are all orders from the same customer." Zhou Chang sneered in his heart. He thought that the customer had some conscience. How could such a good person be taken away from others?

Viewpoint System: "The customer changed the order for a vermilion and dark gold patterned guqin and is willing to add an extra 10% commission, 33,000 taels."

"Let him die." Zhou Chang also responded straightforwardly, and carefully put Fang Xing's guqin back into its case.

When you have a new zither, you should put down the old one. What's more, when you have a new identity, the old zither will expose the existence of your past identity.

Zhou Chang then began to think about selling the guqin again.

Feeling it, this time, Xiao Lan's consciousness didn't seem to be so opposed.

Zhou Chang placed a guqin on his lap and said, "This guqin only has one corner broken, two strings broken, and a thin crack, but other than that it is in good condition. Cutting the price in half is really heartless."

The viewpoint system understood her thoughts directly and said without further ado: "At most, the price will be reduced by 60,000 taels."

"Deal." Zhou Chang said these two words, and couldn't help but feel doubtful in his heart.

People say that the most terrifying thing is when you are bargaining and you hesitate to quote a price, but the other party agrees without hesitation. So, is she losing out again?

There is no use thinking too much, you need to consider everything carefully.

Such a large guqin, a treasured item of one's life, must have disappeared out of thin air for a reason.

After thinking it over, Zhou Chang went to find He Xi again and asked him to help with some firewood. He said that now that Miss Yuan had given him a new piano, the old one would reveal its identity, so he wanted to burn it for his adoptive father.

He Xi calculated with his fingers and found that night was a good day to commemorate the ancestors, so there was no problem.

Zhou Chang waited until night, lit a bonfire in the yard, and after some operations, he secretly transported the guqin to the other dimension.

It can be said that everything concerning Xiao Lan has come to an end.

She could finally rest in peace and wait for a new world tomorrow.

As a result..., it stuck to the pan."
