Chapter 047: Art Garden (2)

Liu Min saw that Qing'er and Wen'er were talking seriously, and watched them up close; saw that the two of them were graceful, beautiful as fairies, with drooping hair, and their skin could drip blood when they blew their breath; I couldn't help but be stunned: where could this be a maidservant? It's obviously a fairy Chang'e!

Qing'er and Wen'er helped Liu Min into the bedroom, and the splendid interior decoration made Liu Min's eyes shine: Oh! It turned out to be a large bedroom of 100 square meters, and there was a bed on the left side of the door.

The antique bed is covered with a pink mosquito net, and the mosquito net is ethereal, through the ethereal curtains, you can see the splendid bedding and delicate pillows on the bed.

What's more creative is that there is a small kang table in the center of the bed covered with splendid futons, and several instruments are displayed on the kang table.

"It's not a dormitory, it's like a workshop! But how can there be a bed in the workshop? Liu Min muttered in his heart, only feeling ignorant.

Liu Min muttered in his heart and looked around, only to see two rows of carved pestles on the floor under the bed.

On the carved pestle, there are gonghou, guzheng, huqin, liuqin, pipa, yueqin, dong flute, sheng flute, flute and a dry instrumental music.

The reason why Liu Min is so familiar with these instrumental music is that when he was studying for his doctorate, he went to the nearby folk music workshop to listen to the musicians play instrumental music. There is a Qin dialect brand song played by a banhu master named Mi Fusheng who will make Liu Min drunk and reluctant to leave for a long time, Liu Min did not expect that he would see so many folk instruments in this mysterious Xuanji Cave again after he crossed over, and it was not a piece of cake to shout the name of folk instrument music.

Liu Min's heart was flooded with warm tides: Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement. The terrain is good, and the gentleman carries things with virtue. Men have the ambition to go out of the countryside and repay the country, how can they bury their corpses, and there are green mountains everywhere in their lives.

Liu Min said inspirationally in his heart, silently thinking: It turns out that this is an instrumental music workshop, and it seems that the worry in the courtyard just now is superfluous.

Instrumental Music Workshop? Where to practice qin, chess, calligraphy and painting? Isn't there a hint on the stone monument in the wind tunnel?

Although there are no masters like Boya and Confucius in the instrumental music workshop, Qing'er and Wen'er, two girls who call themselves maidservants, must be master geisha.

To be able to act as a geisha in such a mysterious place as Xuanji Cave is a master!

Liu Min thought in his heart, moving slowly; But to the right of the workshop was a bathing place, and several huge wooden barrels were raised high; The mouth of the water flowing down is blocked by a wooden wedge, which resembles a faucet in later generations.

Since it is a teaching workshop, why is there a bed and a place to bathe, isn't it a bit strange......

The rising water vapor came out of the barrel, making Liu Min's eyes widen.

If there is steam on the barrel, it means that the water inside is heating somewhere.

Liu Min was dumbfounded: Isn't this the boudoir of the royal court lady and princess? Liu Min couldn't say what the boudoir of the royal court lady and princess looked like, he made this judgment based on the splendid decoration and placement of the room.

Liu Min looked at each other, and Qing'er stepped forward to explain; It pressed Liu Min to sit down on a pestle and said, "Master, this is the Art Garden!" ”

"Art Garden!" Liu Min couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's the owner of the art garden!" Qing'er replied to Liu Min's words, blinked her eyes and said, "Qing'er and Wen'er will be here to let the master complete the instrumental music cultivation by the order of the cave master!" ”

Liu Min was dumbfounded, glanced at Qing'er and asked weakly: "The cave master Minzi is here to complete the instrumental music cultivation, who is the cave master?" ”

Qing'er smiled and didn't answer, Wen'er was already sitting on a pestle and picked up the pipa and played.

As soon as Wen'er played the pipa, Qing'er picked up a huqin and played it, and sang the tune while accompaniing:

Xunyang Jiangtou night send-off,

Maple leaves and flowers are in autumn.

The master dismounts the guest in the boat,

There is no orchestra to drink wine.

Drunk and miserable,

Don't be immersed in the moon in the vast river.

Suddenly I heard the sound of the pipa on the water,

The host forgot to return to the guest and did not send it.

Seeking the voice secretly asked who the bomber was,

The sound of the pipa stopped and he was late.

Move the ship close to invite each other,

Add wine and return to the lamp to reopen the feast.

After a long time, it came out,

Still holding the pipa and half-covering his face.

The hinge plucks the strings three or two times,

Before the tune is made, there is love.

The strings drown out the sound of thought,

It seems that he has no ambition in his life.

Low-brow letter formalities continued,

Say all the infinite things in your heart.

……

Qing'er sang the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing", and Wen'er later echoed it; The singing and piano sounds of the two floated in the huge space of the art garden like flowing water.

Liu Min was stunned at first, and then he was full of emotion; Where would she have thought that Qing'er and Wen'er were reciting "Pipa Xing"; Qing'er and Wen'er, who recite "Pipa Xing", are folk maidservants if they can't get it right.

Bai Juyi wrote "Pipa Xing" in the tenth year of Tang Xianzong's Yuanhe, and he was demoted to Sima of Jiujiang County; One day in the autumn of the following year, the poet sent the guests to Huangpukou, and at night he heard someone on the boat playing the pipa.

Bai Juyi heard that the pipa was sonorous and had a popular sound rhyme in Kyoto, and after asking this person, he knew that it was a singer from Chang'an; He once learned art from Mu and Cao, two pipa masters, and later retired to marry a businessman when he was older.

Bai Juyi saw people's thoughts, so he ordered someone to set up wine and ask the pipa girl to play a few songs happily; After the pipa girl finished playing, she looked a little sullen, and Bai Juyi asked the reason; The pipa girl talked about the joys of her youth, and now she is adrift and sinking, describing herself as haggard, wandering between the rivers and lakes.

Bai Juyi left Beijing and was transferred to serve abroad for two years, and he was happy with what he encountered; Now moved by the words of the pipa girl, I realized that I was demoted, and then I felt sad.

Bai Juyi, who empathized, wrote a long poem that night and presented it to the Pipa Girl, with a total of 616 words entitled "Pipa Xing"

……

The big strings are noisy like a torrential rain,

The little strings cut like a whisper.

Noisy cut miscellaneous,

Large beads and small beads fall on the jade plate.

The intermittent warbler language flower bottom slippery,

It is difficult to get under the drift ice of the Throat Spring.

The cold strings of the ice fountain are condensed,

There is no pause in silence.

Don't have sorrow and hatred,

Silence is better than sound at this point.

The silver bottle burst into the water slurry,

The iron cavalry stood out with the sound of swords and guns.

……

The touching "Pipa Xing" is Liu Min's great love when he was a medical doctor, and Qing'er and Wen'er are the pipa girls described in Bai Juyi's poems?

Liu Min thought excitedly, looked at Qing'er on a whim, shouted "teacher", and said, "The folk girl has a question I want to ask!" ”

Qing'er saw Liu Min shouting at her teacher, so she hurriedly stopped the huqin in her hand and stopped singing; Instead, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "The master has killed the slave and the maid!" How can you shout at the teacher! Sins, sins, sins! ”

Liu Min picked up Qing'er with disdain, and said inexplicably: "Girl, why is this!" ”

Qing'er stood up and said cowardly and cowardly: "Qing'er and Wen'er are slaves and maids summoned by the cave master, and they are here to serve the master; The master called the slave and the maid the teacher, and he didn't torture us! ”

Liu Min said "oh" and seemed to understand the mystery, and said with a smile: "Then the folk girl won't call the teacher Qing'er......
