Chapter 24: Listening to Music
Lu Yu and Moying bypassed the screen and walked to the inner hall, only to see a large lamp hanging in the middle hall, with a pattern of fish playing among lotus leaves, and several small lamps next to them were in the shape of small fish, echoing with the headlamp in the middle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 In the info room, there are tables and couches carved from Huanghuali wood, which also seem to have been made by famous artists.
When the two were still looking, a middle-aged woman walked over, and when she saw the two of them, the corners of her mouth immediately turned up, and she smiled before she could say anything, "Hello two sons, little woman Feng Niang, this is polite", this person is the strange woman that Huang Ji'an mentioned to Shen He - Feng Niang.
The two looked at Feng Niang carefully, and saw that she was about thirty years old, although the corners of her mouth were smiling, her eyes were shining, and the corners of her eyebrows were raised. Looking at her makeup, the hosta on her head, and the clothes on her body are also very elegant, Feng Niang is also looking at them, although they are all wearing noble son's clothes, but Feng Niang has known people for many years, and the bearing of the two is not like that of ordinary sons, the two are still looking at each other, Feng Niang spoke again, "The two sons are here for the first time, I don't know what kind of music they like to listen to?" Lu Yu didn't speak, only waved the folding fan in his hand, Mo Ying looked at Lu Yu, and said, "What is your signature track here?" Our son-in-law doesn't like to listen to ordinary tunes", Feng Niang covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "Of course the two sons are not ordinary people, Feng Niang will not fool with ordinary tunes no matter how clumsy she is", and paused again, looking at the private room upstairs, "Today the two of you are right, the musicians of this Yuefu just composed a few chic new songs, why don't you invite the two of you to the private room upstairs to enjoy it?" Lu Yu nodded, and Mo Ying said, "Okay, please lead the way."
In the Heavenly Music Workshop, Lu Yu and Mo Ying followed Feng Niang to the upstairs private room.
The upstairs layout is more simple than the downstairs, but it is also full of delicacy and elegance, only to see that there are six private rooms upstairs, each door has a plaque, and the book has the name of the private room. The two rooms on the left are hung with the plaques of "Tongle Xuan" and "Canglang Xuan" respectively, and the two rooms on the right are "Yanyu Xuan" and "Qingjiang Xuan", and the two rooms in the distance are not clear. The sound of string music was faintly heard in each room, and Feng Niang directly brought the two to the door of "Yanyuxuan".
Lu Yu looked at the plaque on the door and said secretly in his heart: "A pole of wind and moon, a cloud of smoke and rain, it is really a good mood", "The two of you please wait here for a while, drink a cup of tea and soup, I will go and ask Miss Xiaoyue to play for the two", Lu Yu and Mo Ying nodded. After Feng Niang walked out, the two walked to the desk and sat down, and saw a set of partridge markings black glazed tea cups and tea bottles on the desk, and after a while, a little girl came in to order tea soup for the two.
This girl first grinds the paste cake made of tea leaves into tea powder, and then uses a mahogany wooden spoon to scoop the tea powder into the tea cup, and use boiling water to flush it in the tea cup, the steam carries the tea fragrance and rises, the boiling water is repeatedly brewed, and at the same time, the tea whisk is constantly stirred, and the tea powder floats up to form porridge noodles. After ordering tea, she put the black glazed tea cup in front of the two, only to see a few pieces of tea soup milk flowers pure white and distinct, no water marks on the cup, it is really a good tea art, the tea soup and the tea cup black and white contrast, contrast with each other, it is very good-looking.
Lu Yu is not particular about drinking tea on weekdays, but the tea art is prevalent in the national capital, and the literati and scholars are also happy to order tea competitions - "Tea Fighting", also known as "Tea War", every year the capital will be lively because of this competition, and he will inevitably be dragged by Su Jingyi to join in the fun. Therefore, he also knows a little about it, and understands that the seeds, systems, utensils, and drinks of tea have their own skills, their own ways, and their own feelings. Today, seeing this inconspicuous little girl's skillful tea ordering and exquisite cooking utensils, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: this shopkeeper is really a good person, and the girl who is not amazing can have such a high tea skill, and he can't help but pay tribute to this shopkeeper again.
The two were slowly tasting it, only to see a girl walk in with a pipa in her arms, and saluted the two Yingying: "The two sons are good, the little girl Shangyin plays for the two males", and the two nodded their heads.
I saw this girl play with her bare hands, at the beginning, the tune was melodious and slow, gradually, the tune became like a frost wind into the night, such as seeing the starlight and the moon flying in the sky, suddenly, the pipa sound was as rapid as the song of Jin Ge, and slowly observed it, there seemed to be the sound of golden drums, swords and crossbows, and the sound of people and horses sounded one after another, Lu Yu's eyes flashed darkly, and there were three thousand miles of the vast Gobi in front of him, and the scene of the decisive battle between the two armies on the battlefield of Chu and Yan, the remnants of the army were defeated, and the wind blew the sand all over the sky, the sound moved the heavens and the earth, and the thunder shook the sky....... In the midst of the excitement, the music suddenly stopped, and then gradually lowered, like a song stopped, the river was exhausted, and there was no choice for the bones of repentance, and the soldiers went with the Lord, so that the hearers sighed in the troubled times and cherished the heroes, and suffered from the few confidants in the world. In the end, the music calmed down, and people sighed endlessly, in this land, the beacon fire never stopped, but the sky was still clear, how many glasses of wine were made? How many people are drunk? The bustling image eventually returns to dust.
At the end of the song, the aftermath lingers, which makes people have a long aftertaste and a lot of emotion. The two were immersed in the song and couldn't extricate themselves for a long time.
When Lu Yu and Mo Ying walked out of the music workshop, it was already in the middle of the moon, and the two of them already knew in their hearts after listening to the song, such skills, such a style of music, obviously with the style of the Western Regions, some time ago I heard that the Xiliang Kingdom has established a new son, Wu Luolan. This prince Lu Yu once had a face-to-face, not only with stunts, but also good at scheming, it seems that the new prince of Xiliang has begun to take action.
Although it is an entertainment venue, it is a place where businessmen, officials, and magnates will come and go, and it is the best place to find out the news. Although Yong'an City is not large, it is a major business route for many countries, and it is easy to hear a wealth of information in such a hub place.
Back at the mansion, Lu Yu thoroughly analyzed the situation in Yong'an City overnight, and asked Mo Feng Feige to pass the book to his father Lu Xun, who was far away in the capital.
The business of Jinxiufang is now getting more and more prosperous, recently when Shen He and Huang Ji'an checked the accounts together, they have been six or seven percent more than the usual profit, and it is about to reach the end of the month, and the two-month time limit has also arrived.
Seeing that the big guys have been very tired recently, Huang Ji'an announced that they would take a half-day off. After the embroidery girl and the buddies left, Shen He and Huang Ji'an took out the account books and began to calculate the accounts. After some checking, last month's profit was more than 700 taels, and this month was even more than last month, there were nearly 1,000 taels, so that the total profit was nearly 1,700 taels, so calculated, Shen He could actually get 680 taels of silver. Seeing this amount, Shen He was also a little surprised, he thought that as long as he could earn enough four hundred taels of silver, it would be good, but he didn't expect to get so much.
