"Daddy, why don't you go into the house to sleep so late?"

"Alas, your mother won't let me in!"

"Why didn't my mother let you in?"

"She complained that her father didn't pass the exam this time!"

"Then why didn't Daddy pass the exam? Is it because the question is difficult? ”

"No, the question is not difficult, but Daddy didn't get in for the test!"

"Didn't go in for the test? Why didn't Daddy go in for the exam? ”

"Alas, it's hard to put into words! Daddy just wants to go to the toilet! As a result, he was blasted out by the soldiers on duty! ”

"Alas, so pitiful! Daddy, can't you go after the test! ”

"Oh, you dead baby! Dare to laugh at Lao Tzu, you get out of me! ”

……

The dog was deeply impressed by this experience in his childhood, especially when his father slept in the study with the quilt for a whole month before he was allowed to sleep in the room by his mother.

Afterwards, my father told himself countless times that if he entered the examination room one day in the future, he must remember, he must! Raise your hand if you have something! After getting the permission of the inspector in the inspection room, go again!

"O iniquity! Regret it! ”

The dog looked at the tightly closed gate of the tribute courtyard in despair, especially the two soldiers who came out of the house, only itching the roots of their teeth.

"Ahem, ahem!" The soldier was "embarrassed" by the dog! Pointing to the shackled candidates under the east and west walls, he glared at the dog.

Belch......

"Forget it! Anyway, this is just a small test, it's not a big deal, so it's a long memory! Alas! ”

The dog sighed, patted his head and slowly left, blaming himself as he walked: "Acute acute! Straight sissy thief! I remember it, but why did I forget it as soon as I entered the exam room! ”

Carrying the bamboo basket and walking on the way back, sighing one step at a time, and turning back in two steps naturally made passers-by guess what the reason was, so they avoided it one after another, so as not to touch their brows.

It is natural to give way to well-wishers, but there are also "blind ones", such as the annoying guy in front of him, who put his arm around the dog's shoulders and shouted loudly:

"Good dog, I didn't expect you to do the question so quickly, we just sent you in, and it only took a quarter of an hour for you to come out, not a 'prodigy'!"

As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up and swayed in front of the dog, and the angry dog became short of breath in an instant.

"Wang Hou, don't make trouble, has something happened to the dog!"

Seeing that the dog's expression was wrong, he quickly slapped Wang Hou's hand away, and asked the dog with concern: "What's wrong dog, this point shouldn't be over!" Didn't you encounter something inside? ”

The dog nodded and said weakly: "I've been kicked out!" ”

"Kicked out?"

The two of them asked in unison: "You don't have entrainment, how can you be kicked out?" ”

"Alas, it's hard to put into words!"

The dog shook his head and continued to walk forward with the bamboo basket, explaining to the two of them by the way.

In ancient times, there were very few entertainment activities, and this kind of activities involving counties in the whole state were even rarer, so an exam was equivalent to a large-scale event, and businessmen who were good at buying and selling would naturally not miss it, so the entire Longzhou City, as long as it was a business, entered a variety of "big reward" activities.

Wine, this kind of fun, naturally indispensable to its figure, when the store played, 20% off, the city's drunkards blossomed, carrying copper coins in their pockets, carrying a basket to the shop selling wine excitedly, the crowded crowd almost squeezed the door up to a foot of the colorful banner to squeeze out.

The lively scene, as well as the "ugly" smiles of the shopkeepers of the wine shop, naturally made Mr. Liu, who sold meat next door, disgusted, and felt that he had made a profit, and he slapped his hands and shouted, let's also fall!

"Pork pork, the price is reduced by three cents per catty, only for three days!"

His shouting was like an arrow, and the traders of the entire street market stood at the door of their shops and shouted, so that passers-by would not miss it, and they poured into the store to buy the goods they needed.

The lively atmosphere attracted more and more people to pour into the bazaar, and even Wang Hou, who had a "sad" face, couldn't hold back the beating in his heart, and said to the dog with a dragging face: "I just heard the old bustard in Fanghualou say that today's girls are discounted... Oh no, it's all 80% off today's wine and fruits, not only do you have free dancing skills to watch, but it is said that today you have also invited a special artist to perform a 'puppet show'! ”

"Puppet show?" Hua Fourteen was stunned for a moment, and asked at the beginning: "Is it a puppet doll?" ”

Wang Hou touched the back of his head and said, "I don't know!" So ......"

The two of them looked at the dog in unison.

The dog glanced at the two pairs of expectant eyes, and had no choice but to speak, "You two go by yourself!" I'm not in the mood to play today! ”

"Don't! Dogs! The two of them persuaded in unison: "Our three brothers together, we must not leave you alone, besides, this is just a state exam, and it is not a real scientific exam, don't be too sad, just go inside to play tricks, and scatter your heart!" ”

This is what men do, even in the next generation, when the brother is in a bad mood and comes to comfort him, he also goes out for a big drink and relaxes, and only girls will sit together, complain about grievances, and shed tears.

The dog's mind is not unbearable, and when he heard them say this, he had to speak: "Okay, let's go in and play for a while and leave, I want to find Su Da Fat and see if I can get this exam question." ”

Qinglou, although it is a land of colors, but people really do not only do the skin and meat business, for example, the carved fence and jade building, the extraordinarily decorated hall in front of you, is a stage dedicated to performances.

Even the two women who were playing the pipa on the stage were "professionals" who had been learning from old artists since they were young.

Mr. Drunken Yin, one of the three major poets of the Tang Dynasty, a poem "Pipa Xing" has been passed down to future generations for thousands of years, and has been talked about, although the focus of the poem is to express his complaints about being degraded, but the pipa girl mentioned in the poem is a talented woman with superb skills.

Among them, "the big strings are noisy like a torrential rain, and the small strings are cut like whispers; Noisy and staggered, big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate. In just four sentences, the image of this pipa jumped into my mind.

Increase, increase, increase!

Two women one wears red yarn, one wears a green skirt, the two of them are based on one side, holding each other, the song is naturally the same, but the artistic conception of the play is different, the red yarn woman's pipa always has a feeling of affection, so that the audience is easily reminiscent of the boudoir, a shy and lovely woman is looking at you with a smile.

Boom!

A hurried tone suddenly sounded, so that the audience who fell into infinite blind thought suddenly sobered, the bed was gone, and the tender beauty disappeared naturally, but in front of Yingruren was a female general wearing armor, holding a three-foot Qingfeng, facing the wind, galloping on the horse, the back was stained with blood, making a rattling sound, as if to tell again, the pleasure of just chiseling through the enemy formation.

Boom! A soft sound.

All the pictures in their minds disappeared completely, and the spectators hurriedly shook their heads, padded their feet, and looked at the two women on the stage with their necks up, only to see the two of them standing together, and everyone realized that the pipa girl who had just played a diametrically opposite tune was actually a pair of twin sisters.

"Two slaves, thank you for listening, and then please enjoy the dance music presented by the other sisters, my sisters will retire first."

After saying that, the two of them gave a squatting salute in unison, then turned over to the table, hugged their respective pipas and prepared to leave.

Speaking of pipa, we have to mention this elf, it has a history of more than 2,000 years since the appearance of the Qin Dynasty, when Western musical instruments did not come to China, it is the king of plucked instruments, what is plucked instruments? It is a general term for a musical instrument that is plucked with a finger or plectrum and pronounced by striking the strings with a bamboo piano.

Like the qin and seer made in the Zhou Dynasty, the building and zheng in the Warring States Period, the strings of the Qin Dynasty and the Konghou of the Han Dynasty! As for the three strings of the Yuan Dynasty and the dulcimer of the Ming Dynasty, they are not as good as the pipa popular in the Sui and Tang dynasties, because it can be played solo, accompaniment, ensemble, and ensemble in various ways.

Pipa, in the Tang and Song dynasties, there is a big difference, there is a smooth description is "Tang horizontal hug, Song vertical hug!" Tang Dial, Song Finger".

The Tang pipa is a five-string, while the Song pipa is a four-string, and it has increased from four phonemes to sixteen (that is, four phases and twelve frets), and in modern times, according to the twelve equal laws, it has become a six-phase and twenty frets with all beards and tails.

When a set of dark tea sets, brewed with just the right amount of hot water, a layer of tumbling foaming white tea was delivered, and the dog's mood was relieved for most of it.

When I heard the maid serving the tea shouting sweetly, "Please use it slowly, brother", the dog grinned completely.

"Look!"

A handful of copper coins flew into the maid's tray, and the crisp sound of tinkling naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Just when the maid wanted to thank her gratefully, her head suddenly stretched out at the railing upstairs.

"Shout, sir, I just listened to the voice of your kid, and when I looked at it, it was really you! Little cub, if you don't go to the Gongyuan exam, why do you come to this Qinglou? ”

The dog looked at the half-ball in the air, pouted and replied: "Master does things, I don't have to tell you!" ”

"Hey, your kid's bones are really hard, it seems that I didn't beat you last time!"

The dog looked at the head, sneered, and replied calmly: "You seem to be saying the opposite!" I only remember the 'majestic' appearance when you were tied up by your uncle to intercede, but I don't remember the time when the master was afraid of you! ”

"You kid is really looking for a beating! Wait for you! ”

With a whoosh, the exposed head instantly retracted, and then the clatter of wooden planks upstairs was heard.

Wang Houliang next to him hurriedly whispered: "Dog, we can't afford to mess with this harmful spirit, let's leave quickly!" ”

The dog snorted, if he didn't know his details before, the dog would naturally have to retreat, but last time, he had already seen this noble yaman clearly, although he couldn't afford to provoke him, but he wouldn't suffer a loss, after all, "brine tofu, one thing down one thing"!

"No, you don't! Wait for him to come! Everyone is messing around in Longzhou City, so you can't avoid him every day, so let's make a break today! ”

Wang Hou and Hua Shishi looked at the majestic dog, glanced at each other, and sighed at the dog: "In this way, when the fight starts for a while, remember to protect the vital points!" ”

"Hmm!" The dog nodded silently.

"Ahhh I haven't seen you for a long time, but your little babies are really bolder! It's really impressive! Come on with a few brothers, and try to see if their bones are hard! ”
