Chapter 296: Shen Liao's Thoughts
Ge's science and technology are not as developed as modern ones, but the understanding of dry sounds welcomes the imagination of the world, such as the palace altar and other buildings, when the craftsman builds a gorgeous and magnificent building, he must also consider the problem that the space is too large, which is not conducive to communication. \。 ǒm//
It's like when the emperor was in the last dynasty, the emperor sat on a high throne, and the civil and military officials were waiting for His Royal Highness, the distance between the two sides was not just a few steps, and the emperor could also have attendants and eunuchs to speak and scrape, but the hundred officials did not have this kind of treatment, and could only speak by themselves, the problem is that in front of the king, you can't always shout loudly, and it is uncourteous, so you must take into account the design of amplification when building the palace.
The sound amplification facilities in the palace are very exquisite, and the technical content can not be explained in a few words, not to mention for the time being, but the folk stage does have sound amplification equipment, when building the stage, the water tank is buried in the front of the stage not deep from the surface, according to the size of the stage, the number of cylinders is not the same, it plays the role of sound diffusion, and its principle is a bit like a modern megaphone.
And what's on the top of the center of the stage? The round four tops are called caissons. In ancient times, in order to pray for good luck, ensure the safety of the house and prevent fires, people used the principle that there is water in the well, and the water and fire are mutually restrained, and the vent of the roof was made into a well-shaped, which has two main functions, one is to amplify the sound, and the other is to eliminate the echo.
After Xu Hanqing's reminder, a few people immediately thought that the architectural structure of the attic was similar to that of the theater, but it was more gorgeously decorated.
Although the talents are a little arrogant, it doesn't mean that they have no one in their eyes, so for Xu Hanqing, who was the first to discover the clues, everyone didn't say anything on the surface, but they still had a little admiration in their hearts, which can be seen from their attitudes, friendly gestures, smiling and toasting, and even the maids who accompanied the guests watched quietly from time to time, Xu Hanqing suddenly became the focus of the banquet.
However, even if Xu Hanqing showed his wit and ingenuity, although everyone admired him, it was not so easy to convince them, after all, in their opinion, the answer was so simple, as long as they were given a little more time, it would be easy to crack it, but they never thought that sometimes the answer was a thin film, but before the film was punctured, no one could think of the result.
It's just that whether this answer is accurate or not, although most people think that it must be undoubted, but Shen Liao did not express his position, which always made people have some doubts in their hearts, and under the gaze of everyone, Shen Liao's expression was still the same, with a faint smile on his face, and he drank alone, as if he was the only one in the attic, this attitude. To be honest, it's really underwhelming. Fortunately, the guests who can be invited here have a deep understanding of his personality and temperament, and they are used to it, and automatically choose to ignore the past directly.
However, tonight Liu Renzhi seemed to have become Shen Liao's spokesperson, and I saw him smile and say: "This, Xu Gongzi, is really smart and admirable,"
has been an official for many years, flattering and flattering, especially when he understands Xu Jiaqing's identity, Liu Renzhi simply believes his fingers, and he talks endlessly for a few minutes, and he has not repeated, but when everyone is gradually impatient in their hearts, he heard him say affirmatively: "As Xu Gongzi said, the house downstairs is indeed a little special, and there are seven jars buried."
"But" Just when some people showed unexpectedly expressions, Yang Chengping was about to congratulate Xu Hanqing, Zhang Yuanshan, and Li Mingda's mood was a little gloomy, Liu Renzhi waved his hand and compared the arc formed by everyone's seats, and said with a smile: "You may not have heard what I just said. What I want to know is where the vocal music in the attic comes from and why the same sound of strength and weakness can be heard everywhere here. ”
When everyone heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded, you must know that the wonderful place of this attic is not that the sound is loud and clear, but within a certain range, the sound quality and tone heard are the same, and Xu Hanqing's answer is just the epidermis, and has not yet obtained the deep essence.
The sound is strong and far weak, this basic truth is clear to everyone present, but everyone sits in separate seats, the distance is different, unless someone speaks in the middle of them, otherwise everyone hears the volume is different, besides, the sound of string music is not floating in from the window, but seems to sound indoors, but the upstairs floor is sealed, listening to Liu Renzhi's meaning, it seems to have the effect of sound blocking, it stands to reason that even if someone downstairs plays music, the string sound should be faint and unpleasant, how can it be so clear.
And the interior furnishings are simple, it can be said at a glance, unless the musician has the ability to be invisible, otherwise don't want to hide from everyone's bright eyes, eliminate all kinds, someone has come to a very ridiculous conclusion, the musician may be on the roof.
Of course, this conclusion is Liu Renzhi's joke: "At the beginning, I was puzzled for a long time, tried all kinds of possibilities, and even suspected that those people were on the roof of the building, but unfortunately, when I borrowed a ladder to climb to the top, I found that there was a sharp middle, and the surrounding tiles were smooth, and there was no place to stand, let alone sit on the piano and play music." ”
Everyone laughed, but they felt good in their hearts, after all, when the comparison, they found that they were not the worst performers, "There is a psychological comfort, not that I can't guess, but the puzzle is too difficult, anyway, others haven't solved it, everyone is at the same level, and they are not necessarily worse than others."
After laughing, everyone quietly shifted the topic to altruism very tacitly, never mentioning the attic, maybe it was a few cups of pure wine, some people also put down their arrogant temperament, laughed and talked with others, talked about the past and the present, and depreciated current affairs, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Shen Liao watched coldly, silently, but he was a little disappointed in his heart, this time he invited everyone to come to the banquet, he actually had ulterior motives, what was the specific matter, among the present, only two or three people vaguely understood his meaning.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is nothing, as the son-in-law of the Shen family, under the condition that Shen Tou has taken office as an official, he can be said to be the head of the family, and he has no worries about food and clothing. The days are very leisurely, and there should be no worries, but he has something to do. It's easy to guess what is going on in your heart. It is nothing more than his sister Shen Yao's lifelong event.
For Shen Yao, Shen Liao often quarrels with her on the surface, but in fact, she respects her very much, after all, the Shen brothers' parents died early, but Shen Yao fulfilled the responsibility of the eldest sister as a mother, and when the Xu family came to withdraw from her family, she resolutely chose to be widowed for the benefit of the Shen family, sacrificing several years of youth.
Shen Liao was both grateful and dissatisfied with this, and his mood was very conflicted, especially after Shen Tou became an official, he even thought that there was no need for the Shen family to cling to the Xu family anymore, and he became more and more attentive to Shen Yao's marriage, but unfortunately, whenever he talked about it to Shen Yao either bluntly or implicitly, Shen Yao always talked about him left and right, and there was no answer from Gan Zhou Che, but he tried his best to become his own son as soon as possible, so as to inherit the eternal will of his son
And Shen Liao also asked his brother Shen Tou about this matter, but Shen Tou's letter said that this matter should be acted in accordance with Shen Yao's wishes, so that he should not worry about his mental knowledge, but focus on the imperial examination, and get the title as soon as possible. Glory to the ancestors. Even Shen Cheng didn't support his decision, which made Shen Liao very distressed.
After thinking about it for a long time, Shen Liao finally decided to act according to his own heart, so that he had today's banquet, and he was clearly a guest at the banquet. Secretly, he was choosing a brother-in-law for himself, but it can also be seen from this that Shen Liao is still not mature enough, because he didn't know what type of person Jian Yao liked, but he invited a scholar who helped him to look good and had a similar personality to himself.
And Shen Liao's selection has no specific criteria at all, just relying on his own likes and dislikes, it seems that he is toasting alone, but in fact, he is observing the performance of everyone, and he is silently judging in his heart.
"Li Mingda, this person is too utilitarian, and he wants to marry his sister, but he is just to use the wealth of the Shen family to use him as a stepping stone today. Maybe he will kick him away tomorrow, don't think about it
"Mo, after drinking a glass of wine, I show my true colors, I don't know where my hand is on my daughter, my self-control is so poor, I still want to be my brother-in-law, dreaming;"
This person is good, I do my own thing, I don't care about other people's opinions, it's worth considering, it's just that I don't seem to be very smart, and I don't seem to be worthy of Hui Zhilanxin's sister, well, think about it again
"Zhang Yuanshan, he is quite attentive to his sister, but unfortunately he already has a wife and concubines and children at home, no,"
Slowly finished commenting on most of the people, Shen Liao's forehead and eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and after looking at it for a long time, only Xu Hanqing was more in line with his own judging standards, but he was a member of the Xu family, so he could only give up, shook his head slightly, and his eyes fell on Chu Zhen beside him, and found that most of the meals on his table had been gone, and Shen Liao was speechless.
Look at other people, the delicacies on the table, in addition to the wine, are just a shallow taste, and some have not even touched it at all, this is the essence of the banquet, people are invited to attend the banquet, not to eat, but to have an atmosphere, very particular about manners, like Chu Zhi in the elegant banquet overeating, it is indeed very rare.
According to Chu Zhi's eating speed, if it goes on like this for a few more minutes, the plates on the table will definitely be clear, there is no doubt that Shen Liao really can't stand it, how can he say that he is also his staff, how can he watch the proprietor make a fool of himself, stretched out his hand and gently pulled down Chu Zhi's sleeve, and said lazily: "Chu Zhi County,,? ”
There was another piece of meat missing, chewed into the stomach, Chu Zhi put it on the chopsticks, slowly took out a silk scarf to wipe his hands and mouth, picked up the cup, and said with a smile: "Brother Ruida, please."
After a long time, he thought he was going to toast him, and he didn't realize his reminder at all, Shen Liao was angry for a while, but since he was kind enough to remind, he couldn't let it go, and after raising his glass to drink with Chu Qian, when he saw that he was going to use chopsticks to continue indulging in delicious food, Shen Liao hurriedly said: "Lord Chu, Liu Fangluo has doubts, as his boss, haven't you thought about solving his doubts?" ”
Shen Liao didn't really want people to give accurate answers, he just wanted to distract Chu Zhen by asking this question, lest his meal-like appearance appear in front of everyone, making people laugh but not know it.
Shen Liao's voice was relatively high, so everyone present could basically hear it, and the object of the inquiry was Chu Zhen, a figure with a reputation above them, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
You must know that Chu Zhen has too much aura on his body, what young talents, unparalleled talents, a generation of lyricists and other praises have never been broken, although they have been admired by many people, but there is never a shortage of jealous people, if Chu Zhen can fail once at some point, many people will definitely be happy in their hearts.
Of course, it's not that among the people present, they all have this kind of dark psychology, but when everyone can't guess the answer, no one hopes that they will suddenly bite the gold halfway, doesn't this seem to be very bad, but this time they were disappointed, in front of the future brother-in-law, Chu Zhen did not mean to be low-key.
"What's there to solve, I think he's pretending to be confused, he already knows what's going on, and he pretends to be inexplicable." After drinking a few glasses of fine wine, Chu Zhen felt more energetic, after all, the ancient wine was not high, and there was some sweet and sour taste, similar to fruit juice.
"Heaven and earth conscience, I definitely didn't do anything to know the consultant." Under the questioning gaze of everyone, Liu Renzhi hurriedly swore and said: "My lord, I know more about this building, but it is also to solve the mystery in it, you can't wronged me because of this."
"That just means you're not smart enough. Obviously, he had touched the doorway, but he turned a blind eye, Chu Zhen shook his head and sighed: "It's really sad."
Liu Renzhi's eyes lit up, in fact, he wasn't acting, this mystery had indeed bothered him for a long time, and now listening to Chu Qian's meaning, he seemed to understand what was going on, and immediately hurriedly held the cup with both hands and said respectfully: "Please mention it." ”
"How did you know that the floor in the building is double-sided with bamboo and wood in the middle? And shouting here, you can't hear it outside, have you tried? Chu asked.
"I saw it with my own eyes, the wooden board under Shen Gongzi's seat has only one layer, which can be moved and extracted, and when you pull it out, you can see the middle of the splint." Liu Renzhi explained: "I have personally tried, ordered people to shout loudly here, and it is true that the sound cannot be heard outside, this matter is absolutely true, I don't believe you can try it."
Everyone nodded, after all, as long as they are not stupid, no one will tell such a lie that can be solved with a poke.
"Of course I do." Chu Zhen smiled: "But I can be sure that you deliberately missed a little, and you can't hear it outside the shouting here." I'm sure that even if you're shouting outside the building, it's deaf here, but it's in the downstairs room. Is this also the case?
Yes, I have long suspected that the surname Liu is not telling the truth, and the voice must have come from downstairs, but why didn't I think of asking him about it, he was misled, and some people looked at Liu Renzhi in regret.
"Hehe, my lord is really aware of Liu Renzhi's smile and admitted, and he didn't forget to sneer at the others: "Everyone, what I said is the truth, this place is indeed extremely sealed, as long as the doors and windows are closed, whether it is outside the building or the house downstairs, I really can't hear the movement here, as for why the sound downstairs can come in, and it is so uniform, then I don't know."
