The capital has a history of more than 3000 years as a city and a history of more than 800 years as a capital. It is one of the four ancient capitals of China, an ancient civilized capital. Changing with each passing day, through continuous efforts and innovation, a solemn, generous, magnificent, and beautiful night image of the capital has gradually formed and displayed in front of people, and has been affirmed and welcomed by the general public...

Sitting in a taxi, Ye Chenfeng sighed a bit as he watched the night-like sky pass by like fiery trees and silver flowers. Although it was not the first time he had come to the capital, compared to the capital city 400 years ago, except for those ancient buildings, he could vaguely Seeing the original appearance, other places have completely changed, and there is no trace of the original. Those ancient buildings with no legacy value have been ruthlessly demolished and replaced by skyscrapers that plunge into the sky...

According to Mei Xueru's instructions, the taxi driver followed Li Taiyu's car all the way to a courtyard-style residential area called "Chenxi Home" in Chaoyang District. Mei Xueru's house was on the eighth floor of one of the unit buildings. **()

Along the way, the five of them didn't talk much, Li Taiyu looked a little cold, Mei Xueru frowned slightly, it seemed that she was in a bad mood and didn't want to chat, and Ye Chenfeng was not the kind of person who had nothing to say, I just occasionally heard Crazy Wolf chatting with Qiu Qianren...

Taking the elevator to the eighth floor, Mei Xueru took out the key and opened the door, and invited Ye Chenfeng and the three of them in, and Li Taiyu also waved his hands casually.

The house has five bedrooms and two living rooms, one kitchen and two bathrooms, two balconies, and all the necessary furniture. Although the decoration is not luxurious, it is also elegant and leisurely, pleasing to the eye. The ancient Chinese paintings make the atmosphere appear gentle and well-coordinated, full of emotion.

"Mr. Li, Mrs. Li, you are back." A middle-aged woman about 45 years old came out of one of the rooms, holding a child's toy in her hand. She should be the nanny of Mei Xueru's family.

"Sister Liu, you have worked hard these few days." Mei Xueru said.

"Mrs. Li is polite, it should be..."

"Mom..." A childish voice came from the room, and then a little boy sculpted in pink and jade came out bouncing around, holding a Bumpman in his hand, about five years old, with delicate features, red lips and white teeth, round face, tall The bridge of the nose, the bright red face, like a ripe apple, and the big eyes like black grapes, seem to have many small question marks hidden inside, very cute and innocent little boy.

"Xiaoxuan, do you miss your mother these few days?" Mei Xueru knelt down and fondled Xiaoxuan's little head, the brilliance of motherhood was evident in every move.

"I miss my mother, every day, especially at night." Although Xiaoxuan's tone was a bit delicate, he spoke clearly and with a correct accent.

"Tell mom if you are naughty and if you listen to auntie." Mei Xueru said softly.

Xiaoxuan suddenly fell silent, and after a few murmurs, he said aggrievedly: "I didn't listen to Auntie last night, and cried for a long time..."

"Didn't Mom tell you that my Xiaoxuan is a man, can't cry, why are you still crying?".

"Xiaoxuan saw her mother last night, but mother didn't want Xiaoxuan, and left Xiaoxuan to leave alone, so I cried." Xiaoxuan looked at Mei Xueru with those watery eyes full of grievances and said.

Mei Xueru adjusted Xiaoxuan's clothes regretfully, and said softly: "Xiaoxuan, you dreamed about your mother again, and my mother told you, don't take the things in your dreams seriously, they are all fake, and my mother will not lose It’s under Xiaoxuan, you know.”

"Hmm..." Xiaoxuan nodded vigorously.

Ye Chenfeng originally thought there was something wrong with Mei Xueru's son Xiaoxuan, but now it seems that everything is normal, at least Ye Chenfeng can't see any problem with his body from the perspective of Chinese medicine, his heartbeat is normal, and his breathing is long and long , very regular, clear pupils revealing the light of intelligence, normal limbs, sensitive and active, even more normal than ordinary people, he is a cute little boy.

"Come on, Xiaoxuan, call me uncle." Mei Xueru pointed to Ye Chenfeng and said.

But Xiaoxuan tilted his head, looked at Ye Chenfeng innocently, then shook his head and said, "I don't call him uncle..."

"Xiaoxuan..." Mei Xueru said to Xiaoxuan reproachfully.

Ye Chenfeng couldn't help squatting down and gently patted Xiaoxuan's pink face and said, "If you don't call me uncle, what do you call me?"

"I call you brother."

"Why did you call me brother?" Ye Chenfeng was a little curious about what the child was thinking.

"Because you are an adult if you call him uncle, children should listen to adults, I don't want..." Xiaoxuan said confidently.

"Hahaha... little cunning." Ye Chenfeng laughed and couldn't help teasing: "But, if you call me uncle, I will buy you your favorite toy as a gift, and if you call me brother, you will get nothing." , now do you call me uncle or brother?" After Ye Chenfeng finished speaking, he touched the back of Xiaoxuan's head seemingly casually, and then slowly slid down the back of his neck...

Without even thinking about it, Xiaoxuan said, "I don't want toys, so I'll call you brother."

"One leaf knows the autumn, it is really rare to be able to stick to one's own ideas in front of the one you love at such a young age, okay, Xiaoxuan, I will recognize you as my younger brother, haha..." Ye Chenfeng felt the greatness in his heart. laughed.

Mei Xueru smiled, thinking that Ye Chenfeng was joking, and didn't care, and then entertained Ye Chenfeng and the three of them after the host and guest Ting sat down, and made them a cup of tea one by one, while Li Taiyu didn't say much from the beginning to the end, and kept watching with cold eyes .

"Professor Mei, where is your guqin, can you take a look now?" Although Ye Chenfeng's tone was calm, he was very excited. After all, this is a legendary artifact. His master Qijue has been looking for it all his life. What I didn't find, but now I have found its whereabouts, it is very likely that it is right in front of my eyes, so how can Ye Chenfeng not be excited, not to mention Ye Chenfeng is also eager to know how powerful the immemorial voice is, how is it? Owning it can get the ancient artifact of the whole world.

"It's in the living room over there. Come and take a look with me." Mei Xueru nodded, then got up and walked through the gallery to another smaller living room. It's really an immemorial legacy, if it is, can he pluck it, can he pluck out the sound of nature...

"Well." At this moment, even though Ye Chenfeng didn't pay much attention to external objects, when he was about to see the thing he dreamed of, his heart beat violently and his blood accelerated, which made him almost unable to control himself.

The other living room is very classically decorated. It looks like an ink landscape painting. In the middle not far from the balcony, there is a piano stand with a seven-stringed guqin on it. Although the guqin is exquisitely crafted , but Ye Chenfeng can tell at a glance that this is a modern product, and it is by no means a legacy from the ancient times. It is very likely that it was used by Mei Xueru herself.

The most conspicuous thing among them is the golden screen in the middle of the living room, which looks very exquisite, the four dampers are covered with paper-thin gold leaf, and the four scenes of "The Peony Pavilion" are engraved stroke by stroke on it.The entire screen can be stretched and closed freely. It is designed according to the ancient woodcuts on the old "Gong Chi Pu", and then entrusted to the craftsmen to carve.

There are some landscape trees and green bamboos on both sides of the living room, and there are potted plants blooming on the balcony. The whole living room exudes an elegant charm.Sitting here, the state of mind suddenly becomes elegant and comfortable, as if you are in a tea house on the shore of West Lake, with infinite scenery...

Ye Chenfeng believes that the decoration of this living room must be requested by Mei Xueru herself. Most people can't build such an artistic house without this state of mind, but where is the legacy of the ancient times?Ye Chenfeng walked in and looked around, then looked around the whole living room, but apart from the modern lyre on the piano stand, there was no second lyre in the living room, not even a rectangular one. Thinking of this , looking at Mei Xueru with a suspicious expression, Ye Chenfeng's heart skipped a beat, he won't...

But after Mei Xueru hastily searched the whole living room, she suddenly said to Li Taiyu: "Taiyu, where did that guqin go?"

Li Taiyu shook his head and said, "I don't know either, didn't I keep it there all the time, why did it disappear?"

"It's been here for so many years, why did it suddenly disappear at a critical moment?" Mei Xueru thought for a while, then shouted outside: "Sister Liu, has any stranger come to the house recently?"

"Stranger? No, what's the matter, Mrs. Li?" Sister Liu came in and said.

"The guqin that has been kept here is gone, are you still there when you are cleaning these few days?"

Sister Liu thought for a while and said, "I didn't pay attention to it these two days, but I seemed to see it there a few days ago, why it disappeared, and there haven't been any guests at home these few days."

"What's going on, could it be stolen a few days ago?" Mei Xueru muttered to herself.

"I guess it was stolen. Didn't you say a few days ago that the guqin is probably an antique? I guess someone coveted it, so it was stolen. Otherwise, it has been placed here for so many years. It is suspected to be an antique and it will disappear. Obviously, someone who knew that the guqin was an antique stole it." Li Taiyu said with a hint of something.

"Yes, it should be like this." Ye Chenfeng nodded with deep sympathy, sighed sadly, his heart was empty, full of melancholy...

It's hard work, and it's obvious that the artifact was picked up by those in the know.

But who did it?

After thinking about it, Ye Chenfeng couldn't help but look at Li Taiyu. It seems that he is also an insider, and he seems to be very repulsive to Professor Mei's friends. It is undoubtedly the most convenient if he wants to take the guqin out. The key was not broken, but the guqin seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Various signs showed that Li Taiyu was the most suspected.
