Chapter Seven: The Purple Jade Flute (1)
Yuan Diyi slept until noon, and then asked someone to prepare a sedan chair to leave the house and go to a time-honored shop selling guqin dongxiao in the east of the city. When the boss saw her, he welcomed her into the store kindly, first served hot tea, and then stepped on a stool to take down a long box from the top of the wooden cabinet and handed it to Yuan Diyi. The girl will see if she is satisfied. ”
Yuan Diyi opened the box, took out the purple jade Xiao inside, and carefully examined it. Although this jade flute has been carefully kept for a long time, a small crack was found not long ago.
At that time, she thought about whether she could wrap a circle of gold on the crack to cover it, and it would not hinder the timbre of this Xiao, so that people could find this place after several inquiries, and the boss's craftsmanship was indeed good.
Yuan Diyi played a short piece of music with a jade flute, and found that the sound quality was really beautiful, so he was happy and took out a silver ingot to reward.
The boss shook his hand and said, "The girl has already settled the bill." ”
Yuan Diyi stroked the jade flute and said, "This is one of my favorite objects, the so-called money is hard to buy, you repair it, this reward is what you deserve, you can accept it with peace of mind." ”
The boss was not easy to refuse, thanked him again and again, and when he looked up, he saw that there was a guest coming to the door, and he was still a regular customer, so he called, "Lord Lu." ”
Yuan Diyi didn't have much impression of Lu Cunxi, and that **** spent most of his attention on the Queen Mother and Pingle. I only remember that I seemed to have seen his face in the palace, but when I heard the boss's name, I guessed Lu Cunxi's identity. There are not many dignitaries and nobles surnamed Lu in the imperial capital, let alone such a young and promising person.
Lu Cunxi came to his senses, as if he remembered that he forgot to introduce himself, and said, "I'm ......"
The man in front of him is very gentle, in the imperial capital, it seems that as long as he is literate, his family background is not so bad that he is running around and working hard for two meals, it seems that he has this kind of polite tone.
The king's emphasis on literature or martial arts really has a direct impact on the aesthetics of local men.
Yuan Diyi lest he declare his name, and if he wants to make it clear what his name is from, he is an official rank, and he is called, "Lord Lu." ”
Lu Cunxi was wearing a bamboo-green robe printed with a beaded tree pattern, his hair was neatly combed, tied with a jade-inlaid headband, and his face was soft. Yuan Diyi classified him in his mind and transferred him to the kind of people in Feng Michu.
"Is Fang Cai Yuan playing the music?" Lu Cunxi asked.
Yuan Diyi said with a smile, "It's just a small skill of carving insects, adults are rich and rich in five cars, and they are famous in the imperial capital, and I heard that they are also quite proficient in music and rhythm, I actually made a big axe in front of Luban, which made adults laugh." ”
Lu Cunxi said humbly, "Although it is only a short piece of music, it also makes me ashamed, I am afraid that my attainments in music and rhythm are beyond my reach." I wonder where the girl tudied?"
She put Yu Xiao back in the box, "I have nothing to do at home on weekdays, small households, I used to worry about the trivial matters of firewood, rice, oil and salt, where is there such idle work as apprenticeship." ”
Lu Cunxi saw that the material used by Na Xiao was precious purple jade, which was transparent and very rare, "The girl is vain, this is not like something that a small family can have." ”
"It's ancestral. Yuan Diyi picked up the box and walked out of the shop, but he didn't expect Lu Cunxi to chase him out with a guqin, which was very eye-catching. The owner of the shop originally wanted to say that he could ask the guy to help send the piano to the Lu Mansion, but Lu Cunxi didn't seem to hear that.
Yuan Diyi stopped walking, he couldn't use light skills on the street to get rid of him, the women in the imperial capital walked one small step at a time, and she was surprised that such a speed could be called walking.
But she is playing such a woman, and she is playing everyone with pleasure, and if she wants to act, she will naturally have to act well. It could only be Lu Cunxi who caught up, and she smiled, "Do you have any other teachings?"
Lu Cunxi said, "Some people are good at wine, some people are good at poetry and songs, but I am a good song." I like to collect unheard songs, and I wonder if the girl would like to teach me the tunes of the millennium?"
Yuan Diyi was silent.
Lu Cunxi said sincerely, "Stopping the girl like this, and rashly making such a request, is really abrupt." I am not a prodigal son, and I have no intention of offending a girl. If the girl has any concerns, I can ask the servant to deliver the post another day, and then make an appointment to visit the Yuan Mansion in person. ”
Yuan Diyi joked, "I once heard that there was a madman in the imperial capital who did not hesitate to sell himself as a servant in order to learn painting, and entered a painter's mansion and worked as his servant and stealing a teacher for three years. Adults don't think so. ”
Lu Cunxi said with a smile, "If you don't have fame, you can learn from this person's actions." ”
Lu Cunxi and Feng Michu both used the handsome appearance of a handsome son, disturbing the spring heart of the girl in the boudoir of the emperor's capital, and she was sleeping, tossing and turning.
Now she has seen these two men, but she doesn't think that they are as good as they boast of being unique in the world and the earth, they are indeed handsome and radiant, but they are standing out from the crowd in a group of gentlemen, and it can only be said that the women in the imperial capital are somewhat rare and strange.
"If you really want your lord to be a slave or a servant, there is one less talent in the court, I am afraid that the emperor will punish me. "Lu family, she thought for a while, and said with a smile, "The dog's marriage is approaching, so I can only be busy today, adults want to learn, I can teach, but I want to teach on the street?"
Lu Cunxi said, "I know that there is a teahouse near here, although it is small, but it is still quiet. He made a gesture of please, leading the way for her.
Lu Cunxi originally went out just to get the guqin that he had booked last month, and he didn't plan to stay outside for a long time, so he only brought a small guy. They went to the teahouse and asked for a private room, although it was separated from other seats, it was only separated by a screen, and it was still early, and the teahouse had no customers.
The shopkeeper was half dozing, but when he saw Yuan Diyi coming in in a haze, his sleepiness disappeared, and he diligently served a pot of good Tieguanyin.
Yuan Diyi said, "I heard that if you meet a bosom friend of mountains and rivers, even if you don't say it, you can hear the artistic conception in the music, I only played a small section just now, I don't know what Lord Lu heard from that small half of the song?"
Lu Cunxi thought for a while, and summed up a thousand words as, "A love word." ”
Yuan Diyi said, "This is what my ancestor composed for her wife during his lifetime, and their husband and wife have a deep love for flounder and are very affectionate, so the song is also full of love and affection." ”
Yuan Diyi opened the ivory mouth on the box again and played the song completely from the beginning. Lu Cunxi listened attentively, and when the song ended, he hurriedly called the shopkeeper to get a pen and paper.
He wrote down the melody with the Gongjiao Shang Yu Emblem, and after writing it, he gave her a look, and she praised it, "My lord really has a good memory, and after listening to it only once, he wrote down the tune." It's not like Mu Sheng, it seems that except for those who don't, there is no skill. It's really insulting for me to compare him to adults. ”
"Master Yuan is the champion and talented, but I can't compare with him. ”
Yuan Diyi laughed in a low voice, revealing white teeth, a pair of rippling eyes bent into the shape of a crescent moon in the sky, Lu Cunxi looked at it, Yuan Diyi pretended not to know, "The song left in me is just a song to remember the ancestors, maybe it will be better to come to Lord Lu than to stay here with me." ”
She packed up her things, and the Tieguanyin that the shopkeeper poured for her didn't move a bite, so she wanted to leave, to be honest, if she taught people to do everything, it would be okay, teaching people to be good at this kind of music, it was not her specialty, it was too dull.
Lu Cunxi said, "I asked the girl to teach a song, if you don't give anything back, it's really rude, if the girl doesn't dislike it, go home after eating." ”
"No need. She got up to leave over the screen, pretending not to see that Lu Cunxi seemed to have something to say, probably wanting to open her mouth. Today, I don't know if it's bad luck, but there is one in the way.
She raised her head, while Feng Michu lowered her head to look at her, "Miss Yuan." ”
Yuan Diyi put up a smirk, "How can it be so coincidental, I actually met two adults in one day, if the girl in the imperial capital city knows, I am afraid that the saliva alone can drown me." ”
Feng Michu said, "I was attracted by the sound of the flute. Is Lord Lu playing?"
Lu Cunxi said, "The tune was played by Miss Yuan. ”
Feng Mi seemed surprised at first, "Once Sima Xiangru played a song of Phoenix Seeking Phoenix, which caused Zhuo Wenjun to give up his original family wealth and elope with him." It can be seen that happiness can sometimes lead to a good marriage. Am I bothering the two? ”
Feng Michu had something to say that Lu Cunxi was teasing her with music to learn Sima Xianglu, but she was not Zhuo Wenjun.
Yuan Diyi said with emotion, "Although Zhuo Wenjun eloped with Sima Xiangru after only listening to one song, later generations are talking about it and think it is a beautiful thing." But the relationship between the two is not stronger than Jin Jian, and Sima Xiangru later had the idea of taking a concubine. After only listening to one song, I judge that a person is irrational, let alone a lover who is entrusted with his life. ”
Feng Michu chuckled, "If this Zhuo Wenjun is a bit smarter than a girl, maybe he won't have to make trouble in the future to buy a wine house and sell wine to make a living, and he will be disgusted by her husband when she is weak and loves relaxation." After Feng Michu finished speaking, he exchanged words with Lu Cunxi, and Lu Cunxi also returned the salute. "Although this teahouse is nothing special, it is better because of the quiet environment, so I often come here, I wonder if you two mind if I set up a table?"
Yuan Diyi smiled, "I don't mind." "She's leaving anyway.
Feng Mi first sat down and chatted casually, "I heard that the Nine Emperor Princes came to the Lu Mansion not long ago as a guest, and it was such a coincidence, so I met Lord Lu's cousin, and when I returned to the palace, I asked the Queen Mother to be the master." There are really a lot of happy events in the imperial capital this year. ”
Yuan Diyi's eyes rolled, and he suddenly returned to his seat with interest again, "Is the Lu Mansion also going to have a happy event?"
Feng Michu said with a smile, "It's already decided, this young lady of the Lu family is also a match made in heaven with the Nine Emperor Princes." After Princess Pingle got married, she went to Lu's house to prepare for a happy event. ”
Lu Cunxi also smiled, "Lord Feng is really well-informed. He reached out and opened a cup that had been placed upside down on the table and poured a cup of fragrant tea for Feng Michu.
Feng Mi Chu said, "The Nine Emperor Princes are about to marry the Lu family, and I am not the only one who knows such happy events." Lord Lu seems to have taught the Nine Emperor Princes the piano for a few days, and he seems to be like-minded with the Nine Emperor Princes, and the most rare thing is that I heard that the young lady of the Lu family also plays the piano well. ”
"My cousin Hui is Lanxin, and she has dabbled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”
"The Lu family is very knowledgeable, and Miss Lu and Miss Biao are naturally proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and versatile. I heard that Lord Lu invited the Nine Emperor Princes to visit the mansion at that time, and inadvertently matched a marriage, and he can be regarded as an old man under the moon. ”
Lu Cunxi took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Lord Feng has heard a lot. ”
"The imperial court is also a place of right and wrong, it's not just the idle people in the market who have nothing to do to tell the people's strengths, not to mention that the Lu family is a lie, if it weren't for the princess Pingle Fengtai choosing a son-in-law, it was covered in the past, and now it should be talked about. ”
"Lord Feng has taught the prince and princess their homework, and after being in love with the princes, it is natural to care about their marriage. Lu Cunxi smiled, called the shopkeeper to come in and order a few side dishes, obviously he didn't want to continue the topic, don't look at this teahouse, there are also wine and dishes for sale, but mainly for tea.
