16. Chapter 16
After getting the jade flute, Chu Yi first had a meal with Shen Muqing, and asked Shen Muqing how much he had saved the manuscript, and euphemistically expressed his guess about the future plot. After getting Shen Muqing's affirmation, Chu Yi didn't know whether to be happy or depressed for a while.
Although I believe that even if the ending is a tragedy, Shen Muqing can handle it very well, and there will be no abrupt forced turn. But for Chu Yi, who is overflowing with girls' hearts when it comes to two dimensions, this kind of ending is obviously not what he likes.
After being depressed for a few minutes, Chu Yi picked up the gift that Shen Muqing had just brought and began to study this long-lost instrument.
Chu Yi took the straight jade flute and looked left and right, a little unsure how to use it.
In this era, the information of ancient musical instruments has basically been lost, except for Shen Muqing, who knows and even can make jade flutes, many people don't even know what jade flutes are. Chu Yi is a little better, he also roughly knows that the jade flute is made by pressing the sound holes with his fingers, but this row of small holes still makes him a little at a loss.
"Hahahaha, when you take Xiao, put this head to your mouth and hold it vertically." Shen Muqing looked at Chu Yi's cold face with a trace of confusion, and inexplicably felt a little contrasting.
Don't look at Chu Yi's shrewd appearance, in fact, this person is the most confused in life. It's just that this person also knows his weaknesses, and he also pays attention to not showing these things in front of others, which gives him an awe-inspiring image of the person in charge of the Chu Group.
Shen Muqing was very happy that Chu Yi was able to let go of his guard in front of him, which also showed that he really walked into Chu Yi's heart.
It's a great feeling that the friends you value care about you too.
On the other hand, although Chu Yi accepted Shen Muqing's deposit in his heart, he had only had face-to-face contact once after all. Therefore, when Shen Muqing came over, his body reflexively stiffened, and then realized the identity of the person who came, and his body slowly relaxed.
"And then? Do you have to hold these little holes with your fingers? Chu Yi looked at Shen Muqing, and his eyes revealed a little dazed.
"Well, if you hold down each of these holes with both hands, and then lift different fingers as you blow, there will be different sounds." Shen Muqing walked behind Chu Yi and gently hugged him in a circular way with his two hands. Then he motioned for Chu Yi to blow, and he was responsible for changing the gestures.
Being trapped in such a slightly weak way, Chu Yi dodged a little unnaturally. But as he remembered the beautiful sound of the instrument, he gradually forgot about these embarrassments.
"This kind of voice, it sounds so comfortable. Compared to those current musical instruments, the sound of the jade flute can give people a mysterious and gentle feeling. After blowing a breath, Chu Yi had a deeper understanding of the ancient instrument of the jade flute, and he sighed with some regret. It's a pity that you can't hear the song played by this instrument in reality, and besides, no one can play it except for you. ”
"It's not impossible to make this in reality, I remember that your birthday is still two months away, and at that time I will make it in reality and give it to you as a birthday present." Shen Muqing thought for a moment. "I'll teach you simple tricks that will only take a while. No matter how advanced it is, I won't either. ”
When he wrote an essay, the protagonist of one of the essays was a musician. In order not to have obvious bugs, he looked up a lot of information about the instrument, including some simple fingering. Later, when he was Xiao, he made two, and he practiced for a long time to blow a simple tune, so he had the confidence to teach Chu Yi.
"Xiao's words, it is still Zizhu Xiao's purest timbre. This jade flute has a little more Xun flavor than bamboo instruments, and the texture itself is relatively brittle, so it is not very easy to preserve. If you can find a plant that resembles bamboo, I'll make you a bamboo xiao. After thinking about it, Shen Muqing added.
"Thank you, stranger, I am waiting for your gift." Chu Yi smiled slightly, and the coldness around him instantly dissipated.
Chu Yi was not surprised at all that Shen Muqing could only play simple tunes. If Shen Muqing could really use this kind of ancient instrument that was not even fully recorded in the Star Network database to play a difficult song, then he would have to wonder if what he said before that he was from the welfare area was true.
"Speaking of which, since you know so much about ancient musical instruments, can you popularize this knowledge for me?" Chu Yi bit his lower lip, a little unsure if the other party was willing to sue him for this. "Our company has recently reached an agreement with the government to start a revival of ancient culture, and I would like to start with musical instruments."
"No problem, I am honored to contribute to the revival of ancient culture." Shen Muqing smiled slightly, and sighed a little.
In future records, the first human settlement in 2127 A.D. is used as the node, and the history before it is collectively referred to as the Paleo-Earth period. Shen Muqing's willingness to support this sport is also out of nostalgia for the past. Of course, there is another important reason, and that is that the instruments of the future are so unpalatable!
After complaining about the taste of future people in his heart, Shen Muqing continued to tell Chu Yi all the information about traditional Chinese musical instruments in his mind.
"Ancient musical instruments are divided into four categories, namely body sound instruments, membrane sound instruments, air sound instruments and string sound instruments. The Xiao you hold in your hand belongs to the air sound instrument, in which the flute is similar, the horizontal blowing is the flute, and the vertical blowing is the Xiao. Body-sounding instruments can be divided into ......"
Shen Muqing recalled the classification of musical instruments he had seen in his memory, and at the same time set the terminal notepad to paper mode and listed a table for Chu Yi.
Chu Yi looked at the simple and clear form in front of him seriously, and suddenly entered the work mode, ignoring Shen Muqing next to him completely
Shen Muqing raised her eyebrows, watched Chu Yi pull out another piece of paper and kept writing and drawing on it. He found a comfortable position to do it himself, and poured himself a cup of black tea that Chu Yi had just brewed without seeing it.
This kind of tea with excellent taste, even if it is on the virtual star network, can only be enjoyed by a local tyrant like Chu Yi.
Time passed slowly, and by the time Chu Yi revised his plan, Shen Muqing had already refilled his fifth cup of tea. Although there was no personal problem on the star network, drinking too much water still made Shen Muqing's stomach swell.
He waited until Chu Yi was busy with the things in hand before proposing to leave.
"Liyu, I have to quit the Star Network. During this time, I may be busy, I can't log in to the virtual star network, and I may not be able to reply to your message in time, I hope you don't mind. Shen Muqing calculated, it will take more than a day to move, and I don't know how long it will take to learn the compulsory education course, at least half a month is definitely needed. Therefore, he had to say hello to Chu Yi in advance, and after the province, he sent a message and couldn't find anyone.
"Okay, I've had a lot of things lately, and I was just about to sue you, but I didn't expect you to say it first." After Chu Yi finished speaking, the two glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled.
"Then I'll get down, goodbye, Liyu."
"Goodbye, stranger."
