109 I heard that your grandfather has a peerless zither
The strings on the zither were already extremely tight and sharp, and now that they were suddenly stretched to her hands, Shen ruxue’s expression changed almost instantly.
“Heavens! How did you hurt your hand?”
“Is campus Belle Shen alright? There’s going to be a Grand ritual music later, what if it delays the coming of age ceremony?”
“Even if I can still play, the zither is broken …”
Her cla.s.smates did not expect things to turn out like this. They were all a little guilty. After all, they were the ones who incited Shen ruxue to play the zither.
Coincidentally, Xu Cheng came to the cla.s.s to look for Shen ruxue.
Sensing that the atmosphere was a little off and that everyone was gathered around her seat, she walked over directly.
“What’s going on?” He asked in a deep voice.
Chen ruxue immediately covered the back of her hand. She bit her lower lip and shook her head. ah Sheng, I’m fine … I accidentally hurt my hand while playing the zither. It shouldn’t be anyone else.”
Shi qinglan was speechless.
She just happened to take off her headphones and heard what this White Lotus said. She forced herself not to roll her eyes.
LAN Chu pursed his lips. it’s more difficult to show off your skills than your own ability, yet you still dare to play the rolling movement continuously. It’d be strange if you didn’t stop playing the zither.
Xu Cheng frowned. let me see.
He grabbed Shen ruxue’s wrist and saw that there was a b.l.o.o.d.y mark on her finger. When a string was broken, it would hurt a lot. In serious cases, it could even break a finger.
“I’ll accompany you to the infirmary first.” Xu Cheng pursed his lips.
However. Shen ruxue pulled her hand back. She bit her lip and shook her head. She looked at the zither with concern. my hand is fine. The most important thing is not to delay the Grand ceremony …
“Sheng, I remember that your family has done some research on guqin. Is there a way to fix the strings?”
Xu Cheng looked at the zither with a broken string, feeling a little embarra.s.sed.
“I can’t help it,” He said honestly.
The Xu family had indeed done some research on the zither, but that was only because his grandfather was a huge fan of the zither, but he knew nothing about it.
Shen ruxue lowered her eyes in disappointment. I’m sorry. I really didn’t mean to.
She wanted to act pitiful in front of the young man to gain sympathy, but Xu Cheng just pursed his lips and said in a low voice, ” it’s useless to talk about this now. The most important thing is to solve the problem.
Shen ruxue bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes.
The students looked at the broken strings and the bloodstains on Shen ruxue’s hands. They couldn’t help but fall into silence.
After thinking for a moment, Shen ruxue raised her eyes and looked at Xu Cheng. She gently washed her nose. ah Sheng, maybe …
“What are your thoughts?” Xu Cheng looked at her.
Shen ruxue pursed her lips. She took. deep breath and gathered her courage. I remember that your grandfather has a famous zither in his collection … It’s called the Qing Luo guqin.”
If she could get her hands on that famous zither, not only would the Grand ritual music not be affected, she might even be able to receive more praise!
That was a famous zither that everyone wanted to meet …
Hearing this, Shi qinglan suddenly raised her eyes.
Her delicate eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light flashed in the bottom of her eyes, and even her eyebrows furrowed without a trace.
Shen ruxue tried to ask, ” can you …
“I can’t,” Xu Cheng refused almost without thinking.
Xu Cheng did know that his grandfather had a famous zither.
However, that Qing Yan ancient zither was very rare. It seemed that a n.o.ble had given it to his grandfather for safekeeping, and he did not even have the right to touch it …
but … Shen ruxue felt wronged. the strings are broken, and I can’t reattach them for the time being. If you don’t help me …
Xu Cheng’s brows furrowed slightly, as if he was in a difficult position.
