The boat floated on the vast ocean, not drifting but charging; Sail forward with the momentum of splitting the wind and waves.

Bian Zhou didn't know how long he charged, and Liu Min saw an oasis jutting out of the sea; It was an island.

The flat boat anchored in front of a big reef in front of the island and turned into Wen'er, Liu Min grabbed Wen'er's hand tightly and laughed, "Wen'er, I didn't expect you to have such great ability; It will turn into a flat boat and carry the slave family to the island! ”

As soon as Liu Min finished speaking, he heard a burst of melodious instrumental music coming from a distance.

Liu Min was stunned, washed his ears and listened, only listening to instrumental music like a flute and not a flute; It seems to be a hole flute and not a hole flute, and it is like a Xun non-Xun, but the tone is sonorous and the melody is melodious.

Liu Min looked at Wen'er unreasonably and asked, "Wen'er, what kind of instrumental music is this, so beautiful and loud!" ”

Wen'er said bluntly: "Master, this is Cai Wenji's eighteen beats of blowing the beard; The instrumental music used is Hu Ji! ”

"Huji? Cai Wenji? Eighteen beats? Liu Min asked three questions in a row in astonishment, and then stared at Wen'er suspiciously and said, "So we can meet Cai Wenji?" ”

Wen'er smiled and said, "Master, we came here to see Cai Wenji and listen to her play the eighteenth beat of Hu Ji!" ”

Liu Min was dumbfounded, staring at Wen'er and not knowing what to say.

Wen'er fixed her mind and said: "Hu Ji is a kind of wind music popular in the Yidi tribe, which resembles the flute of the Central Plains and is more than two feet long; The diameter of the pipe is about the same as that of a flute. There are three circular sound holes in the lower part of the beard, and there is no reed at the upper end of the nozzle; When playing, the pipe body is vertically held in both hands; Press the index finger and middle finger of each hand to put three sound holes, and the upper end of the nozzle is close to the lower lip to blow and pronounce; Pentatonic scale of 12 degrees can be produced! ”

Stretching his neck and swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he said: "Hu Ji mostly uses guttural sounds to blow, the pronunciation is soft and rich, the timbre is mellow and deep, and the performance skills are unique; It can be used for solo, instrumental ensemble or band accompaniment, and is a wind instrument with strong national color! ”

Liu Min was stunned by Wen'er's words, stared at her with his eyes and said, "Wen'er, you turned into a flat boat to carry the people's girls to ride the wind and waves; It turned out that I was going to meet Cai Wenji! ”

"Master, you're right!" Wen'er said busily, and said to Liu Min Wanfu and grinned: "The slave maid said before that the master is a nobleman, and he will improve his instrumental music and singing skills in bathing and resting; Now is the time to live that vision! ”

Wen'er said and stared at Liu Min solemnly: "The master's voyage and the next trip have already been arranged by the cave master, and the slave maid is just carrying out the purpose of the cave!" ”

Liu Min was stunned, clasped his hands into fists and bowed into the distance, and said, "Cave Master, who are you so lenient Liu Min?" Liu Min is just a folk girl, how can He De be treated so highly by you! ”

Wen'er saw that Liu Min was seven or eight years old and made an adult action of holding her hands and fists and bowing; couldn't help but smile and said, "Master, why are you like an adult at a young age!" ”

Wen'er's question is really a bit to the point, Liu Min's current appearance is that the original body looks like she is only seven or eight years old, but her thinking consciousness and behavior norms are 32-year-old medical doctors; If you think about the actions made by a 32-year-old person, the etiquette is not an adult, it can be a child!

Liu Min thought about it in her heart, glanced at Wen'er and said, "The folk girl is a little adult!" ”

Wen'er heard Liu Min's tough tone, stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to speak, Liu Min raised her arm and said, "Wen'er, let's go see Cai Wenji immediately!" ”

Liu Min said, glanced at Wen'er and said, "Does Wen'er know Cai Wenji's life experience?" ”

Wen'er shook her head and said, "This slave doesn't know that Wen'er and Qing'er are both pipa girls on the Xunyang River; I was summoned by the cave master to wait for you! ”

As soon as Wen'er said this, Liu Min suddenly woke up: It seems that the slave family did not guess wrong, Qing'er and Wen'er, the two little girls, are the pipa girls in Bai Juyi's poems.

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.

Liu Min thought in his heart, and recited the first paragraph of Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing" silently; said to Wen'er: "Since Wen'er doesn't know Cai Wenji's life experience, then the slave family will tell you about it!" ”

Cai Wenji is a native of Chen Liuyuan, and his father Cai Yong is a famous writer and music performer in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and has made achievements in history and calligraphy.

Cai Wenji has lived in Luoyang with her father for many years, and her literary and artistic talents are high; Most of Cai Wenji's literary creations were also completed during this period.

Cai Wenji is erudite and talented, and wonderful at music; She is a rare female talent in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

After Dong Zhuo committed the rebellion, Cai Wenji's father Cai Yong was implicated and arrested and died in prison; Cai Wenji was plundered by the Hun cavalry and was 23 years old when she was submerged in the name of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King as a princess.

Cai Wenji lived in the Southern Xiongnu for 12 years and had two sons, during which time she learned to play the "Hu Ji" and some minority languages.

Cai Wenji's father, Cai Yong, was a famous scholar in the late Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao often consulted him, and the two had a deep friendship.

In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208 AD), Cao Cao learned that Cai Yong's only daughter was exiled to the Xiongnu; Immediately sent Zhou Jin as a messenger to carry a thousand taels of gold, and Bai Bi a pair to redeem Cai Wenji.

This year, Cai Wenji was 35 years old and married Dong Ci, the governor of Tuntian, under Cao Cao's arrangement.

Wen Ji returned to Han, returned to Luoyang, looked back on the past, and was infinitely sad.

She integrated her tortuous experience and bitter life into literary works, and her shocking works "Poems of Grief and Indignation" and "Eighteen Beats of Hu Ji" came out successively.

"Poems of Grief and Indignation" is the first autobiographical five-character long narrative poem in the history of poetry, Cai Wenji depicts the picture of social life in the late Eastern Han Dynasty with simple and unpretentious brushstrokes, which is an indictment of the troubled times; Lamentation of one's own fate.

The poem "Eighteen Beats of Hu Ji" adopts the form of folk songs, absorbing the sound rhythm of Hu Ji popular in the Western Regions; Contrary to the gentle and generous feudal tradition, its unrestrained feelings, bold imagination, fiery language, and novel form are refreshing, and occupy a very important position in ancient Chinese literary works.

Liu Min finished talking about Cai Wenji's life experience and talent without revealing anything, Wen'er stared at Liu Min dumbfounded: "Master, how can you know so much when you are only seven or eight years old?" The slave and maid are several years older than you, why don't you know these things, if it weren't for the cave master to let the slave and maid carry your master here through the waterfall waterfall; I'm afraid the slave won't know so much in her life! ”

Liu Min heard Wen'er say that she was seven or eight years old, and her heart couldn't help but tighten; The quick response was fabricated: "Our family is a royal family, and my father has invited teachers to the slave family since he was a child to tell interesting stories about celebrities in history; For example, Boya, Confucius, Shi Kuang, Wang Jixin, Yan Liben, Gongsun Auntie, Yang Yuhuan ......"

Before Liu Min finished speaking, he saw Wen'er clapping her hands and applauding, and said, "Ahhh ”

Liu Min stared at Wen'er with wide eyes, and said, "Wen'er, what did you say?" We will all meet these masters mentioned above! ”

"Yes, master!" Wen'er said bluntly: "This is arranged by the cave master for the slave maid, but Cai Wenji is the first stop here......"
