Watching Comrade Li Er lead Lanling into the palace gate, Wang Kecai turned his head, looked at Nanping and said gently: "Princess, will I send you back now?" ”

Nan Ping's face turned red, and he said in a low voice: "Trouble Lord send Nanping to the Inner Mansion Music Creation Division first, and Nanping will go there to get something." ”

Wang Ke hurriedly said: "Princess, don't call me my lord, I'm also mixed up as an official." ”

Nanping thought for a while and asked, "If you don't call you, what is it called?" ”

Wang Ke thought about it, yes. What is it called? Now that he has a military position, it is not good to call Wang Gongzi, but it is too awkward to call the adults themselves, so he said: "Or call me Wang Ke." ”

Nanping covered his mouth and smiled, and said softly: "How can there be a reason to call people by their names, or I will call you words." I don't know what your words are. ”

As soon as he said this, Wang Ke was also stunned, you said that this modern person will take a name, and there is no word. In the Tang Dynasty, Wang Si and Mrs. Wang called themselves a mouthful, and they didn't call their own words, and now they want him to say his own words, but he really can't say it.

Wang Ke scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I really can't say this word, I left Datang when I was eight years old, and my father didn't have time to get me one." I didn't think about it when I came back this time. When the princess asked today, she really embarrassed me. ”

Nanping covered his mouth and smiled again: "Then you can't take one yourself, you have learned so well, it's not easy to pick up a word." ”

When Wang Ke heard this, his face was really full of black lines, and he was sweating to death! How can he learn anything, which of those poems was not copied by him, and it is better to let him die if he makes his own poems. But when it comes to this, I have to bite the bullet.

Wang Ke's head was broken, and he finally came up with a word that was not very good.

He said to Nanping embarrassedly: "I like winter very much, I like the endless snow in winter, it is so quiet, so remote; Let people's minds be calmed and purified. I admire winter, so I might as well call it Mudong. What does the princess think? ”

"Mudon, Mudon." Nanping muttered these two words in his mouth, thought for a while and said: "I heard you say the origin of these two words, but there is also some artistic conception, just this word, I will call you Mu Dong in the future." ”

Wang Ke saw that this problem was also prevaricated by himself, and hurriedly said: "Princess, I don't know where this music creation division is, and I have to trouble the princess to guide me." ”

Nanping nodded, stretched out his slender fingers, and guided Wang Ke to the Music Creation Division.

Wang Ke walked in with Nanping, and the people inside knelt down and saluted when they saw that the princess was coming.

Nanping is a princess with majesty, and she no longer has the appearance of the little woman who laughed with Wang Ke just now, and said lightly: "Calm down, where is the piano I made?" Bring it to me and take a look. ”

The men got up and hurriedly went to the back room and took the piano out.

Nanping plucked the strings with his hand and said to Wang Ke: "Mu Dong, you come and help me see if the tone of this piano is in tune." ”

Wang Ke choked, Wang Ke really didn't know anything about this thing. He said stupidly, "Princess, I really don't understand this thing. I'm in the extreme west, and I've never learned my Tang rhythm, but I've learned six tricks about this thing. ”

Seeing Wang Ke say this, Nanping also had a little belief, and asked curiously, "Then what kind of musical instrument do you know?" ”

Wang Ke really can't wait for a crack in the ground to get into now. There are so many musical instruments in China, I don't know at all, and I haven't learned any of them. If you want to say anything, I only learned to play the guitar when I was in the army.

Nanping asked himself like this, but he didn't think much about it, and said: "I don't know these instruments." I'll just do the same, it's a musical instrument from the Far West, called a guitar. ”

"Guitar?" Nanping was even more curious, and asked again and again: "What does it look like, can you draw it?" Let the people here make it, can you make it for me? ”

Wang Ke knew that with the current level of craftsmanship in the Tang Dynasty, it should be okay to make a guitar cabinet or something, but the six strings are not good.

But when he saw Nanping's look full of hope, he couldn't bear to refuse in his heart, and said hesitantly: "This may be very difficult, mainly because there is no way to do it with six strings." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Ke's mind flashed with inspiration, and he remembered that nylon strings can also be used for guitar accompaniment, instead of steel strings. There are no nylon strings in this day and age, but can we find something else instead?

"Wait! Let me think. Wang Ke hurriedly said.

As he spoke, he looked down in the production room and looked for it. After walking around a long time, and not finding a suitable substitute in his heart, Wang Ke looked behind Nanping, who looked like the head of the Lezao Division, and asked, "Dare to ask this father-in-law's surname?" ”

This person saw Wang Ke and Nanping coming in together, Nanping was also very familiar with Wang Ke in his tone, although he didn't know who Wang Ke was, but he also knew that he couldn't afford to provoke him. Now seeing that Wang Ke asked about himself, he hurriedly replied: "The villain's surname is Qin, I don't know what the adults command?" ”

Wang Ke hurriedly said: "Father-in-law Qin, please take me to the place where you put the strings, and I will see if I can find the kind of strings I have in mind!" ”

Gonggong Qin looked at Nanping, Nanping knew that he was looking at his own attitude, and said proudly: "You can do whatever he says, and the things you make will be recorded in my house." ”

Gonggong Qin hurriedly took Wang Ke to a room on the side. Nanping also followed curiously.

Gonggong Qin unlocked the door and turned sideways to let Nanping and Wang Ke go in first. Wang Ke saw that the room was full of all kinds of strings. Walking forward, slowly picking and picking the same, in one corner, Wang Ke found a mess of tendons of different thicknesses that were twisted together, but he had never seen before, looking like plastic or nylon products.

Wang Ke asked curiously, "What is this and where did it come from?" ”

Gonggong Qin stepped forward and looked at it carefully before replying: "This thing is an animal offered by the envoys from the Western Regions, and they say it is called a rhinoceros." He died not long after coming to Datang, and the tendons stripped from this rhinoceros were brought to us to make strings. But we didn't know what kind of instrument we could use it for, so we kept leaving it here. ”

Nanping saw Wang Ke's expression, understood what Wang Ke meant, and hurriedly asked, "Are you going to use this to make strings?" ”

Wang Ke nodded and replied, "Try it." I can't tell if I can do it. ”

Walking out of the room with this roll of rhinoceros tendons, Wang Ke asked for a pen and paper to draw the appearance of the guitar, and also drew a exploded view of each part, and marked the dimensions one by one. After handing it over to Gonggong Qin, he was ready to send Nanping back.

Nanping looked at the sky and asked Gonggong Qin, "How long will it take for these things to be made?" ”

Gonggong Qin looked at the drawings, thought for a while and replied: "All the craftsmen come to do this, each responsible for a part, and it can be done in an hour." ”

Only then did Nanping turn to Wang Ke and say in a consultative tone: "Mu Dong, it's still early, or let's wait." ”

Wang Ke looked at Nanping and couldn't wait, so he had no choice but to agree.

Gonggong Qin immediately called all the workers and began to make it. The first step is to push the planks very thin. Anyone who has played the guitar knows that the material of the guitar is very thin, and in the era of the Tang Dynasty, it was all manually launched, and this workload was not small.

Wang Ke has never seen how to make a guitar, and he doesn't know what to do when he stands there. I simply ran into the car, turned on the CD player and listened to music. Nanping saw that Wang Ke was gone, and he also followed, and when he got into the car, he heard the singing sound coming from the car stereo, and asked curiously. Wang Ke patiently told her that this music was from the extreme west, and that people there liked to listen to this kind of music, and Nanping listened to it for a while and fell in love with this fresh melody.

Wang Ke took out all the CDs in the car, taught Nanping how to use them, and let her find her favorite songs there, leaning on the back of the seat and smoking. An hour is not long, but it is not short, and the two of them listened to the music, and it passed quickly.

Gonggong Qin ran out to find Wang Ke and asked him to go in to see if they were assembled correctly. Wang Ke walked in and saw that an unpainted, unstringed guitar had been placed there. Wang Ke found the right six rhinoceros tendons, measured the length and cut them, and installed them on the guitar. I tightened the strings and tried to pluck them with my hands, and it worked. It's just that the sound is slightly deeper than the real strings.

Father-in-law Qin is an old piano expert, and he understood Wang Ke's meaning from Wang Ke's expression, and said on the side: "This lord, do you think that the voice is a little low and uncrisp." It doesn't matter, let's process the strings right away, and the edges will be crisp. ”

As he spoke, he took off the strings and gave them to a craftsman to take them to work on, and it didn't take long to take them out. Wang Ke went up again and gave it a try, and this time the sound was much better. Although there is still a difference with real guitar strings, it is nothing, after all, it can be used.

Holding it in his arms, he corrected the notes one by one, and after simply playing a few chord notes, he said to Nanping: "Princess, I'll play a song and try it first." ”

Nan Ping looked at Wang Ke intently and nodded again and again.

Wang Ke thought for a while, watched Nanping gently pluck the strings and sang: "Let me take off your heart and try to melt it slowly to see if I am still perfect in your heart." Are you still worried about me all the time, still love me and can't extricate yourself, and whether there is a place in my heart that I haven't been. There, the lake is always silent, the air is quiet, and the snow-white moon shines on the earth, hiding memories that you don't want to mention. You said that sincerity can always be impulsive, true love can always last for a long time, why do you still have lonely loneliness in your eyes. Am I just a kind of sustenance for you, filling the gap in your feelings, when will the forest in my heart let me stay? The lake is always silent, the air is quiet, and the moon shines on the earth, hiding your deepest secrets. I hope, don't dare to ask, that your calm heart ripples again, but the heart that loves you goes beyond the boundaries, and I want to have everything you have. It should be, I don't dare to ask, I don't dare to let you bring up the past again, but how can I get rid of the shackles in my heart。。。。。。。 ”

The song Wu Bai's "Norwegian Forest" made Nanping Xinli really as sung in the song, and began to change. Nanping had never heard such straightforward lyrics, and his face had changed color.

Of course, Wang Ke saw it in his eyes, and hurriedly said to Father-in-law Qin: "Father-in-law, this is fine, and please ask the craftsman to paint it." However, the paint should be thin and even. ”

Father-in-law Qin took the guitar and said yes again and again. After a while, he remembered and asked, "My lord, how can we tell you when we are ready?" ”

Wang Ke then remembered that this was really still a problem, and he couldn't come to see it every day.

was embarrassed, Nan Ping said beside him: "Just send it to my house after you finish it, and I will tell this adult." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Wang Ke and said softly, "Mu Dong, let's go." ”

Wang Ke agreed, picked up Nanping's qin, and left the music creation division.

Along the way, the two of them didn't speak, and when they arrived at the gate of the princess's mansion in Nanping, Nanping got out of the car and asked people to carry the qin into the mansion, and he stood in front of the mansion and looked at Wang Ke. Wang Ke didn't know what Nanping was going to do, and he couldn't turn around and leave if Nanping didn't go in, so he had to sit quietly in the car and look at Nanping who was standing there.

Nanping stood for a while, then suddenly ran to Wang Ke's car window and whispered to Wang Ke: "When your piano is here, you still have to sing to me, and I still have to listen." ”

After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the house. The moment Wang Ke turned around, he saw that Nanping's face had become red.

Wang Ke looked at Nanping's back, he was so happy that he didn't know what to express, started the car, and sang in his mouth: "I hope, don't dare to ask。。。。。。 ”。
