Chapter 112: The Mystery of the Music

"Girl, why don't you sit?" Seeing Diao Chan standing alone, Huaxing said with a smile.

"Oh, the slave is lowly, just stand." Diao Chan bowed his head and said softly.

"Humble? Where is the humble? Hearing this, Huaxing immediately shook his head and smiled:

"Hehe, sit down, you always stand, I'm embarrassed to speak."

On weekdays, when the adults speak, if Diao Chan is present, she basically stands.

It's not that Diao Chan likes to stand, but because in this era of male superiority and inferiority, women have to stand when the big men speak.

Unless it is a particularly noble woman, everyone must abide by this "rule".

But at this moment, listening to Hua Xingfei let himself sit down, Diao Chan was really a little worried.

Because if this is seen by the father-in-law, he must teach himself a hard lesson.

So after thinking about it, Diao Chan still shook his head stubbornly and rejected Huaxing's kindness.

As a man from 2,000 years later, Huaxing certainly cannot accept such unequal treatment.

Seeing that the other party still refused to sit down, Hua Xing simply stood up from the chair and said like a fool:

"Okay! If you don't sit, then I won't sit either, I'll stand with you! ”

Seeing that Hua Xingzhen was standing beside him, Diao Chan immediately panicked, and hurriedly said with a wry smile:

"General Hua, why do you bother? Slaves and maids don't sit because I shouldn't. But you are a general, how can you not sit? Thou, thou shalt not afflict the slave and the maid. ”

Hua Xing has been in the Eastern Han Dynasty for so long, of course he understands what Diao Chan meant.

But just because he understands doesn't mean he accepts it.

On weekdays, it's because there are a lot of people, so he can't talk much.

But today, seeing that there were only two people in the room, Hua Xing spoke without scruples:

"You and I are mortal, born in the world. Only the gender is different, how can there be a distinction between high and low? Miss Diao, I never think that women are inferior to men, so for the sake of fairness, if you don't sit, I won't sit either, so let's just stand and talk. ”

Diao Chan really didn't expect that this General Hua would be so difficult to deal with, and he refused to sit down alive or dead.

If this is seen by the father-in-law, the consequences may be even more serious than if she sits down!

So, after thinking twice, Diao Chan finally made a compromise and sat on a chair at the same time with a general for the first time in his life.

After taking a seat, Diao Chan felt like a pins and needles. But for some reason, deep in her heart, there was an indescribable secret joy breeding. At the same time, her eyes looking at Huaxing were also a little more different than before.

"The girl's skills are truly extraordinary! Hey, I wonder what the girl just played? ”

Seeing that Diao Chan was finally willing to sit down, Huaxing began his "investigation" today.

"Thank you, General, for the compliment! I don't know what the name of this song is. Diao Chan shook his head and replied.

"Oh? Where did that girl learn it? ”

"A few days ago, the slave met several soldiers in the tavern of the East Market. This song was sung by them, and I thought it was very good, so I wrote it down, but it's a pity...... I didn't write it all down. ”

"Oh? You can play it just by listening to someone sing it once? Wow! What a girl! After praising from the bottom of his heart, he listened to Huaxing ask for the second time:

"Does the girl recognize the soldiers?"

"I don't know the slaves and maids, and this is the first time I've seen those people. However, I remember that they were not young, as if they were celebrating something, so the more they drank, the happier they became, and they ended up singing. ”

Hearing Diao Chan say this, Huaxing basically guessed what was going on.

Most of the people Diao Chan met were veterans who followed Huaxing's expedition. When he returned from the victory, he drank in the tavern to celebrate.

As for "Unity is Strength", Huaxing had taught them before when he was in Qiankun Mountain, so it is not surprising that these soldiers can sing.

Less than three minutes after going upstairs, Huaxing had already solved the mystery of the music.

"Oh, that's what happened. By the way, why is the girl in Hongnong? Didn't you go back to Luoyang with Wang Situ? ”

Hearing Huaxing ask about this, Diao Chan explained softly:

"The slave maid was originally going to return to Luoyang with her father-in-law. But one day, I suddenly found that there was a silk and bamboo workshop in Hongnong City. Not only are there many musical instruments, but they also teach children to play the piano and every day. The little girl has loved music since she was a child, and when she saw this place, it was difficult for her to step forward, so she begged her father-in-law to allow me to stay here for a few more days...... I didn't expect to meet adults here. ”

"Oh, that's right...... Ay? Could it be that there are no similar places in Luoyang? Why should the girl go far and near? ”

Luoyang is the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it stands to reason that there cannot be fewer such places than Hongnong. Thinking of this, Huaxing immediately asked.

Seeing that Hua Xing's thinking was so agile, Diao Chan's eyes immediately crossed a touch of emptiness. It didn't take long for her to smile and say:

"Yes, definitely, and there are quite a few. But the little girl grew up in Luoyang, and those music workshops are too old for me to have no new ideas, so the slave maid prefers to stay here......"

After speaking, Diao Chan also unintentionally and unintentionally burst into an intoxicating smile at Huaxing.

Seeing that Huaxing was stunned on the spot, his brain was short-circuited for a few seconds. And the topic in front of him, which was full of loopholes, was also thrown out of the sky by him in an instant......

Seeing this, Diao Chan hurriedly diverted the topic:

"By the way, General, have you ever heard this song before?"

"Huh? Melody? What tune? Huaxing, who had just come back from Cloud Nine, was confused.

"Hehe, it's the song that the slave just played!" Diao Chan covered her mouth and snickered.

"Oh! You say "Unity is Strength"? Yes, yes, of course I did. Huaxing gradually came back to his senses.

"Oh? It turns out that it's called "Unity is Strength"! Hehe, the name...... Sounds weird! ”

"What's so strange about that?" Huaxing disagreed:

"Military songs, there are not so many poetic and picturesque feelings, they are more direct and masculine. is so soft, how can you have the strength to fight after listening to it? ”

"Hehe, that's what the general said." After covering his mouth and smiling, he saw Diao Chan turn his mouth and ask, "Then the general must also hum this song, right?" ”

"Of course! Don't tell the girl, this song is what I taught everyone. Hua Xing said slightly.

"Oh? That's great! ”

As soon as these words came out, I saw Diao Chan's face with surprise and asked happily:

"Then I wonder if the general can sing it live?"

"What? You—you're going to let me sing and sing it now? ”

After listening to Diao Chan's request, Hua Xing suddenly felt nervous for no reason.

When he speaks, his mouth trembles a little, and he is extremely different from his usual self.

If you look into the reasons in detail, Huaxing himself can't figure it out.

But on second thought, it's certainly not a matter of "song".

Because of this song "Unity is Strength", Huaxing has already sung it thousands of times.

Whether it is a solo, chorus or duet, he is full of experience and will never be weak-hearted.

So, excluding the problem of "songs", then only people remain.

It seems that whether you are nervous or weak-hearted, it has a lot to do with the Diao Chan in front of you.
