Chapter 245
Of course, the yamen of the prefect of Hangzhou was in Hangzhou, so Yu Xinwu had his own back house and stayed that night, but Qin Mi was still a guest here, so of course he had to return to the official post. As soon as the sky was bright, he got up early and waited to go to Caoyun Wharf with Yu Xinwu to see the market of the grain store.
Although Qin Mi's family also has some silver, he doesn't like to wear any satin clothes, unless he goes out to socialize, he is always wearing a fabric gown, and he is also a micro-suit to look at the grain market, and it is inconvenient to wear it too eye-catching. On the Caoyun wharf, there were people wearing cloth clothes and long shirts everywhere, and the two people wearing silk were too conspicuous.
But Yu Xinwu obviously didn't think so. I saw that he was dressed in wide sleeves, soap-colored edges, a blue round neck, a soap-washed soft scarf with a Lan shirt, and a square scarf on his head, coupled with his originally slender figure, he was extremely elegant and had an extraordinary temperament. Qin Mi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If we go to Caoyun Wharf like this, it is estimated that someone will shout that the official master is here before we arrive." ”
Yu Xinwu seemed to hear this for the first time, and looked at his whole body again in surprise, and then said in a daze: "Don't Lord Qin think that scholars should be dressed like this?" ”
"It's not that it shouldn't, it's just ......" Qin Mi didn't know what to say, but Yu Xinwu looked at him and said: "You should also dress up well, but you are also a county master, how can you dress so casually!" How can we scholars be like those ordinary people! ”
"Let's go, let's go!" Qin Mi really didn't want to argue with him about this, so he pulled him and walked out, "We have to hurry, I heard that there are many people on the dock in the morning, and the price of grain is lower." ”
Yu Xinwu didn't give up: "You can also put a set of silk clothes, otherwise it will be like a long-term follower." ”
"Long follow, long follow, you are my top boss, it is my blessing to be your long follow!" Qin Mi laughed, raised his legs and walked towards the door.
As soon as the two of them walked to the front yard, a public servant from the prefect's yamen walked up, with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency, Lord He sent a sedan chair over, saying that he invited your Excellency to see the silk." ”
Yu Xinwu stopped, thought about it carefully, and then returned: "Please tell Lord He, I will go to the grain market with Lord Qin this morning to see the situation, and you can see the silk at any time!" ”
"This ...... It's not easy for the villain to reply," the public was a little embarrassed, and saluted again: "Lord He has notified the Weaving Bureau, and they are all ready, and the sedan chair is also waiting at the yamen!" Look, sir......"
The three words of the Weaving Bureau made Yu Xinwu stunned. It seems that I should go to the weaving bureau to see, this newcomer, can not make yourself look too outstanding, last night is estimated to have offended the top and bottom, today should also go to see, not to mention the weaving bureau is under the palace management, if you don't go, you will be completely isolated. He turned his head to Qin Mi and said, "I have to take a look at the matter of the Weaving Bureau." You should go to the grain market first! Remember to find out the specific market, I estimate that the price of food will be slightly different from each family. ”
Qin Mi also knew that the matter of the Weaving Bureau was a big deal, so he nodded and went out first.
As soon as he walked into the courtyard of the Weaving Bureau, before he reached Sun Jin's piano room, Yu Xinwu stood in the courtyard, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
""Nagato Resentment"!" He exclaimed in his heart, and the more he heard the sound of the piano in the piano room, the more startled he became, and he was stunned for a moment.
After the Empress Chen of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fell out of favor, she lived in the Changmen Palace for a long time, and according to legend, her mother and queen of the pavilion Tao Chang Princess hired Sima Xiangru to make a song "Changmen Fu" for Empress Chen, which was poignant and moving, since the Tang Dynasty, often expressed the grievances of the disgraced palace concubine with the theme of "Changmen Resentment". But Sima Xiangru's "Changmen Fu" has long been lost, and now most people use Li Bai's Yuefu poem as the lyrics and play it by themselves. There are many people who can play, but very few people can really show Empress Chen's grievances. Now the long grievance in my ear seems to be a pain from the heart, and the feeling of grievance is vividly expressed! How could Yu Xinwu not be surprised?
There seemed to be a distant and resentful voice in his ears: "Tianhui Beidou hangs in the West Building, and there is no firefly in the golden house." If the moonlight wants to go to the Changmen Palace, don't be sad about the deep palace. Guidian is sad and does not remember spring, and the autumn dust rises in the four houses of gold. Hanging in the mirror at night in the blue sky, I shine alone on the people in the Changgong Gate, and I shine alone on the people in the Changgong Gate......"
Sun Jin also stood beside him, glanced at him, had a count in his heart, and shouted softly: "My lord? ”
Yu Xinwu suddenly woke up and hurriedly said, "What is this place?" Is this the silk sample to be seen? ”
"Yes." Sun Jin smiled and nodded, "In the past, Western guests looked at silk here. ”
"Really?" Yu Xinwu sneered, looked at him deeply and said, "Raise a master to play "The Resentment of the Long Gate" here, and then let Westerners look at silk? ”
"Lord Yu can also hear that this is "Nagato Resentment"?" Sun Jin pretended to be surprised.
Yu Xinwu didn't reply, but continued to look at him.
Sun Jin laughed hehehe: "The sound of the piano is silky, and it is the style of the Celestial Empire. Doing business with Westerners is not only for the sake of silk business, but also to spread word of mouth to foreign countries to ensure long-term trading, which is also the duty of the Weaving Bureau. Lord Yu is also deeply familiar with the rhythm of music, and it is better for the contemptible person to reply to the adult. Adult, please. ”
At this time, Yu Xinwu seemed to be enchanted, and followed Sun Jin into the piano room in a trance.
In order to prevent fires, it was strictly forbidden to light candles in the silk room, but borrowed copper mirrors to reflect sunlight from the roof, and more than a dozen huge copper mirrors were placed on the roof, and after reflecting the sunlight in, the room was brighter than burning wax. But this is also the silk looks more bright and lifelike.
"Lord Yu, please see," Sun Jin carefully picked up a piece of silk embroidered with butterflies, "This kind of silk is very popular in the West, because the butterflies on it look like they are dancing in the morning sun, in terms of Western hours, it is the sun at ** o'clock; When night falls, it looks as if you are back in the lair, or in Western terms, it is six or seven o'clock in the afternoon. Westerners don't understand silk, so they think it's amazing, but they like it. ”
Yu Xinwu had to pretend to be serious to look at the silk, and when he saw it, he was really attracted - at this time, it was the time of the Western time, and there were thousands of butterflies embroidered on it? Under the sunlight, they danced one after another, and the pattern of each butterfly's wings was different, and the color matching was just right.
Sun Jin put down the silk and walked in the direction of the sound of the piano intentionally or unintentionally, Yu Xinwu didn't know where the sound of the piano was, and looked around blankly.
"Let's take a look at this one again," Sun Jin said and picked up another one, and was about to speak, but saw Yu Xinwu raise his head suddenly and close his eyes. What's going on?
Sun Jin looked at him with some surprise, and after a while, Yu Xinwu opened his eyes, shook his head gently, and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's ......a pity."
"What pity? This silk horse is also selling very well! Sun Jin deliberately interrupted.
"The fault of "Nagato's resentment" is in this place." Yu Xinwu replied to the question, and his eyes also looked confused, "Empress Chen has been extremely favored since she was a child, and it is inevitable that she will be arrogant and straightforward, although she is disheartened and complaining after being beaten into the cold palace by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, she still has affection for him. Even if it is a grievance, it is just a grievance against his own fate, not a grievance against Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. She is also not qualified to complain to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Li Bai's poem borrowed the scene of the Changmen Hall to describe it, and it was precisely to highlight the ups and downs of her fate. Therefore, this paragraph should be played in a horn tune, and later generations do not know, the tone turns high-pitched, and it is translated into a palace tune, thinking that it wants to complain to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but it is actually a big mistake. ”
Sun Jin's eyes flashed. This kind of light is not the joy that this person has already put on, but it is a bit of a feeling of bosom friend hating late. * Bought Ning Niang, she was originally very good at the lyre in the Qinglou in Hangzhou, Sun Jin felt a little pity, so he taught her some novel music scores from time to time. She is very interested in this song of Nagato resentment, and whenever she plays this song "Nagato Resentment", she will pour all her emotions into it. Sun Jin himself is also very good at the lyre, because in the sound of the piano, he can temporarily escape from the chaos of the world and enjoy a rare tranquility, but he can't find a feeling for this "Changmen Resentment". Today, Yu Xinwu pointed out the key points of playing "The Resentment of the Long Gate", and he was also excited. Connoisseur, this is the connoisseur!
"The contemptible person has a reluctant invitation, I wonder if the adult can appreciate his face?" Sun Jin respectfully rushed into the Xinwu arch.
Yu Xinwu naturally guessed this reluctant request, so he pointed out the person who played the piano, and the elegance in his heart involuntarily exuded, and said, "Please speak." ”
"Please give your advice to this contemptible pianist, not only for the sake of the court's business with Westerners, but also to make up for the mistakes and omissions of "Nagato's Resentment", so as not to spread its fallacies." Sun Jin said solemnly.
A pride in the world burst out from Yu Xinwu's chest. If you point out the mistakes of "Nagato Resentment" by yourself, it can be remembered for eternity, isn't it also an elegant thing? He nodded slightly: "Okay, it's okay to learn from each other. ”
"Then I'll thank you first." Sun Jin arched his hand again, then walked to the side quickly, pulled down the silk of the cicada wings on the shelf, and the cicada wings floated down gently like the wind, and in the curling cicada wings, a beauty sitting in front of the piano was revealed like an iceberg. Seeing her half-squinted eyes, her expression seemed to be resentful, and she was concentrating on playing the strings under her hands, and the sound of crying and complaining spread throughout the piano room.
Yu Xinwu's eyes straightened. There seems to be such a scene in his mind: at the top of the towering mountain, he is standing in front of the cliff, and a beautiful woman is sitting behind him, playing "The Resentment of the Long Gate", like a fairy, like a fantasy and reality!
