Chapter Eighty-Five: There is a piano explanation, which is meant to be without strings
Fusu seemed to understand my scruples, his eyes darkened, and he said lightly: "It's been good lately, Zhang... Madam. β
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your concern, the concubine is in good health. β
"That's good. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, but there was silence in his eyes, "Let's go to see Master Xun first, and then ...... with Mrs. Recount. β
Fu Nian followed Fusu to meet Xunzi, as the only woman in Confucianism, it is naturally my duty to entertain Princess Yuqin. Of course I did not dare to ask about her background, but the princess seemed to be gentle and glad to communicate with me, and without asking, she introduced herself kindly. She is Fusu's sister, this time to come to Songhai together is also a chance to stalk and beg, Fusu's teacher is the great Confucian Chun Yue senior, the princess will also study with him on weekdays, and naturally admires Confucianism very much.
"The princess treats me like a friend, and the concubine is flattered. β
"Who made you ...... The woman my royal brother admires the most. She smiled pleasantly, her willow eyebrows stretched, and she said, "Originally, I didn't understand why the imperial brother fell in love with you at first sight, but today when I saw your funny appearance, I understood." β
"The princess smiled, I was too rude today. I was embarrassed.
"It's not rude, it's cute, I've never seen such an interesting woman in the palace. It seems that Mrs. Zhang studies very hard, forgetting to sleep and eat, do you also study with Master Xun on weekdays?"
"Yes, princess. β
"I envy you. There was a hint of regret in her words.
"Envy me?......" It is estimated that she will not think so after seeing the toss I have suffered in the past two days.
Looking at the smiling princess, a piece of history suddenly flashed through my mind, and my heart was cold, as far as I know, Yingzheng's children have no good end, after Zhao Gao got rid of the Mengshi brothers, he turned the spearhead of murder to the Qin royal family. According to reports, Zhao Gao killed 12 brothers of Hu Hai in Xianyang at one time, and crushed 10 princesses to death in Du You. I wonder what kind of fate this princess will have, and whether she will be able to escape that fate?
"Mrs. Zhang, can you take me to Mr. Yan Lu? I have something to ask him. The princess suddenly mentioned.
I came back to my senses and hurriedly responded, "Okay, princess, please." β
Today, Yan Lu is reading in the water pavilion as usual, without my interference, he must have been a lot cleaner in the past two days. He is still so safe and elegant on the water side, the moment the princess saw Yan Lu, it was very similar to my reaction when I first saw Yan Lu's demeanor, and her face was difficult to hide her appreciation, but her eyes seemed to be more than appreciation, her eyes were like autumn water, which made me think about it. Senior Brother Zilu's lethality is really strong......
It turned out that the princess was good at music, she heard the introduction of her master Chun Yuyue's predecessors, and the best Confucian person in music was Yan Lu, so she came here. This also surprised me a little, because I only saw Yan Lu reading quietly on weekdays, and I never saw him playing the piano.
The princess ordered someone to take the guqin, and ordered all her followers to retreat.
"Mr. Yan Lu, please listen to me play a song first, and give me more advice. The princess sat with a smile and gestures.
Her clothes fluttered, her hair fluttered with the breeze, her lips hooked a shallow smile, she caressed her bare hands, and kept jumping between the strings, as smooth as water, the notes appeared and disappeared, like the cold current in the secluded world, and the cold and cold like the trickle of pine roots.
I am a woman who also looks and listens to the ground as if she is fascinated, the fairy music is fluttering, and the beauty is as scheduled, which is really a beautiful picture.
Yan Lu smiled slightly, very appreciative, but a few traces of elusiveness flashed in his eyes, thoughtful.
At the end of the song, the princess asked, "Does Mr. Yan Lu know this song?" β
Yan Lu nodded and said, "How did the princess learn about this song, and can play it so completely?"
"The musician of the Qin State was extremely proficient in the piano, but he was convicted of helping the rebel general escape from the Qin State and became a prisoner of the ranks. On that day, I was also in the detention and absenteeism field, and I heard him and Gao Yanli play this song "Mountains and Flowing Water". It's a pity that I couldn't comprehend it thoroughly, and I was killed for absenteeism, which is really regrettable. Fortunately, Gao gradually escaped the ambush and survived. Presumably this piece has not been lost. β
Yan Lu was also slightly stunned, after all, a princess of the Qin Kingdom had no taboo to mention Gao gradually leaving the cultivation, and she was full of regret, which was a little unexpected. He paused and said, "The princess is also a person who loves talents, and this piano in her hand is also rare, if I guess correctly, is this the piano used by Kuang Xiu?"
"Exactly. Mr. Yan Lu, can you give some advice to the little girl? The princess got up and smiled lightly and invited Yan Lu to come forward to play.
""Mountains and Flowing Water" is high and low, it is difficult for ordinary people to understand the subtlety, and I am afraid that I will not be able to help the princess too much. Yan Lu said a few words humbly, but still sat in front of the piano, "I didn't expect to be able to try the piano played by Kuanxiu today, and it is also very fortunate." β
He stroked the strings, the notes flowing between his finger plucks, the churning and smoothing, the rigidity and softness, the sonorous, the deep, his playing style seemed to be more simple and elegant.
The princess waved her hand, and the attendant brought another guqin, and she sat opposite Yan Lu.
Just listen to a few soft notes sandwiched into the rhyme of Yan Lu. Yan Luqin's sound is peaceful and upright, the princess is quiet and soft, the two seem to be asking and answering, and the intertwined echo of the rhyme is more moving, like a gossamer floating in the wind, but it is endless, and it adds to the meaning of intestinal reverberation.
The charm of the two is so similar, and the piano skills also complement each other.
At this point, I realized that I had become the only superfluous failure in this beautiful picture, so I quietly withdrew. Although I know some guzheng, but if I really want to understand the essence of it, I don't have enough appreciation level, only the vulgarity of vassal elegance.
I walked to the end of the water pavilion and met Fusu, who had heard the sound.
"Ziyu, the last time the wedding banquet caused you trouble uninvited, it was really unintentional, and I didn't mean to find out your identity. β
"His Royal Highness Childe, I understand this. β
"If only you didn't blame it. β
We were speechless for a while, and I was just about to find an excuse to say goodbye, when he asked again, "Where is Ziyu going?"
"Go... Rush to an archery lesson, Hehe. β
"I just want to go down here. Presumably, Confucianism must have had many masters of archery. β
"This ......"
"You don't change your mind about not shooting arrows just because you hear I'm going. β
I sneered, I really couldn't bear to be so obviously rejecting people thousands of miles away, this is not hospitality, I thought that it was better to be in public than two people to catch up alone, so I didn't shirk it anymore. But it turns out that I am still bad, the weekday archery class has always been a class of Fu Nian, and when we arrived at the archery range, we found that it was Zhang Liang who was in class today. This must be because Fu Nian was busy with reception matters and asked Zhang Liang to substitute for the teacher.
I hurriedly stopped and said with a dry smile: "Your Royal Highness, I suddenly remembered that I still have to copy a lot of texts, and if I don't go now, I won't have time to finish copying, and I won't learn archery." β
After speaking, I turned around and was about to leave, when Zhang Liang's voice came from behind me: "Yun'er, why did you see me turn around and leave?" When I turned around, he was already in front of me. I glanced at him, and didn't bother to pay attention to him, I hadn't settled accounts with him in the morning!
"Your Royal Highness, be polite!"
"Mr. Zhang Liang doesn't need to be formal, what is the content of today's archery?"
Zi said: The gentleman has nothing to fight. It will also shoot! Rise and fall, and drink. Its contention is also a gentleman. The content of today's class is an archery competition. β
"Sounds very interesting, it's rare to have such an opportunity on weekdays, I really want to learn from Mr. in archery, I wonder if Mr. is interested?"
The conversation between the two was polite, smiling, gentle, and very harmonious, but they were obviously in harmony, and there was a faint smell of gunpowder running around. If a gentleman has nothing to fight, he will shoot ....... how can this sound inexplicably provocative at this time?
γNoteγZi said: The gentleman has nothing to fight. It will also shoot! Rise and drink, and its contention is also a gentleman. : to the effect that Confucius said, "A gentleman does not quarrel with anything." If there is a dispute, it must be an archery competition! The two sides bow to each other, give in, and then appear on the stage, and walk down after shooting the arrow to drink. This kind of dispute is a gentleman's dispute. β
