After being busy for several months, he finally had a few days of rest, and Qin Mubai enjoyed and cherished it very much. For the next few days, no one bothered again. He spent time at home with his family. Discuss the art of war with his father, compete with martial arts, talk and chat with his mother's little sister, and taste the snacks made by Shuang'er together.

After months of not seeing each other, Frost's cooking skills have grown greatly. She can even make osmanthus cake as fragrant as durian cake, which is enough to see that this cooking skill has been perfected and powerful.

After dinner, Qin Mubai went out for a walk in the West Market and sat in the world's first wine. Every evening, Wu Meiniang would come to the store to take inventory. chatting with her and occasionally helping her settle accounts, the two are finally a bit like a pair of lovers.

Wu Meiniang said that now there are many stores in the West Market that are just like her, and the competition is very strong. The world's first wine must be innovative-so I asked Qin Mubai to help and write a few more pipa martial arts. Just those two songs "Ambush on All Sides" and "Overlord Removes Armor", no matter how good they are, people are tired of listening to them!

This is not difficult, Qin Mubai immediately wrote a few tunes for You'er and the others to learn. But at this time, it occurred to me that it was not a way to renovate the music just by doing this, and this kind of thing was always learned quickly. You have to find a way to stand out so that no one else can imitate it.

With a light in his heart, Qin Mubai had a way.

Entering the Imperial City, he went straight to the general prison and found the Tu Signing Order of the Left School Office. Tu signed the order, and Qin Mubai came to urge the weapon, and he was very flustered for a while, saying that a weapon like the Tiger Head Chisel Golden Gun, even if it took ten days and a half to rush to work, it would be difficult to complete.

"Not busy. Slow work makes meticulous work, now is not wartime, and we are not in a hurry to use it. Qin Mubai said, "I came to the agency today to ask for another matter." ”

Tu Zhiling breathed a sigh of relief, and said lightly and happily: "If the general needs anything, just speak." ”

Qin Mubai took out a stack of pictures that he had spent a lot of effort drawing, and said, "I want Tu to sign the order to help me create this thing." ”

"What is this?" Tu Zhiling looked at the pages and pictures on the paper, and asked blankly, "It's like a table, but it's taller than a table; It's like a hu bed, but it has a strange shape, and it uses so many strange steel bars...... Whew, what's the use of this thing in the next phase, and please show the general? ”

Qin Mubai said with a smile: "This thing, called 'piano', is an extremely high-end and complex musical instrument. Presumably, in addition to skilled craftsmen like Tu Zhiling, no one in this Tang Dynasty can create it. ”

"Musical instruments?!" Tu Zhiling was dumbfounded, "I have been working in the Zuo School Administration for more than 20 years, and all the musical instruments in the palace are from here. It's unheard of for an instrument of this complexity! ”

"You haven't seen it, that's right." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "How about it, are you sure to build it?" It's hard, it's hard! However, if you really create it, it will be a great benefit for the present generation, and in the history of Chinese music, it will definitely leave your glorious name, which is of great epoch-making significance! ”

"Good!" Tu Zhiling gritted his teeth, "Xia Guan must do his best and devote his heart and soul to build this - piano!" ”

"Every component must not be sloppy, otherwise the sound quality of the whole piano will be lost." Qin Mubai said, "I have already marked the size and specifications of the materials and parts that need to be used. If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask me. In addition, even if it is created, it will need to be debugged and modified many times. ”

"Okay. If there is something you don't understand, come and ask the general. When it's done, ask the general to try it out for yourself, and you won't finish it until you're satisfied. "Tu Ling was also a little excited. Because he has long heard that Qin Mubai is the name of the great master of pipa. Now he has to tinker with this new instrument, if he becomes famous in the future and the piano is popular in the Tang Dynasty, then wouldn't he, the violinist, be also famous, and even like he said - famous in history!

"It's wages." Qin Mubai put down an ingot of gold.

Tu Zhiling hurriedly picked up the gold and stuffed it back into Qin Mubai's hand: "General, don't do this. Our left school office is the imperial court yamen, which is specially designed to serve the palace. But there is a rebuke who obeys the command, that is, he who has received his wages without wages. If this is spread out, it will be corruption and bribery. ”

"It's fine. Then there is labor. Qin Mubai put away the gold ingot with a smile and left the Zuo School Office. In fact, everyone knows this little 'unspoken rule'. This kind of place has always only served the royal family and the imperial court, but there are often some court officials who ask the skilled craftsmen here to do something for help. The emperor naturally knew about this, but as long as he didn't break the laws and regulations and the rules of etiquette, he wouldn't mind anything. In particular, these people who will be the superintendent of the left school office, etc., are also courtiers to put it mildly, and to put it badly, workers, craftsmen, and subordinates. The emperor has finished summoning, and it doesn't hurt to change the courtiers a few times.

When I got home, I was about to go back to my room to rest, when I heard a sporadic dingdong sound from the next room, as if someone was playing the lute. Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing, walked up and knocked on the door: "Shuang'er, what are you tossing?" ”

"Ah, third brother, did you hear that?" Shuang'er stepped forward to open the door and grinned a little embarrassedly, "I want to learn pipa too!" But since I was a child, I have been broken by your three elder brothers, and I can only play the bowstrings, when will I play the strings? Third brother, you promised to teach me, but you haven't fulfilled it, hum! ”

"Hehe, little sister, don't be angry, isn't the third brother busy all the time?" Qin Mubai patted her head, "Tell me, why do you suddenly want to learn pipa?" ”

"Hey...... He likes music! Frost stuck out her tongue and snickered.

"It's for him again......" Qin Mubai shook his head and sighed, "That's it, I really can't help you, I'll teach you!" However, I have learned too much about this pipa, and I don't like it anymore. After a while, I'll teach you a new instrument. Sure, only your third brother will be in the world. ”

"Really? What kind of musical instrument is it? Frost was pleasantly surprised.

"You'll find out later, keep it a secret for the time being." Qin Mubai laughed and left.

"Villain, sell it to me, hum!"

The four-day vacation was quickly over. When he left home to return to the army, Qin Mubai almost forgot about Pang Fei, who was the first drunk in the world to die of a dream. This kid is drunk all day long, and he seems to be really a little happy. When Qin Mubai took him out of the room, he was still drunk and shouting in his sleep.

A bucket of cold well water poured down from the top of Pang Fei's head, and he jumped up screaming. At a glance, he saw Qin Mubai with anger on his face, his wine was already awake, and he hurriedly bowed: "En, teacher!" Generals, generals! ”

"It's not promising!" Qin Mubai snorted coldly, and picked him up by the hair, "Are you really never seen a woman in your life, or have you never drunk alcohol?" ”

"Yes, yes...... It is true that he has never seen so many beautiful women, nor has he drunk such good wine. Pang Fei had always been honest in front of Qin Mubai, and replied with a bitter face.

"Now you've seen enough and you've drunk enough, right?" Qin Mubai sneered, "Okay, now you look at your bill—in the past four days and four nights, your consumption of the world's first wine has been as much as 1,500 yuan." Tell me, how are you going to pay it back? ”

"Ahh......h Enjoy? ”

"I asked you to stay and enjoy it, but I didn't say to help you pay the bill." Qin Mubai said with a smile, "The first wine in the world, but it is the most upscale consumption place in Chang'an." The wine, the women, and the koji here are not affordable for ordinary people. You are a small team, and you actually soaked here for four days and four nights. Tell me, did I sell you to pay off the debt, or did I just expel you from the army and kick you out of the division? ”

"Uh......h Don't, teacher! In vain, I know that I am wrong! If you have no ambition and indulge in wine, you shouldn't do it! Pang Fei knelt and kowtowed, begging bitterly.

"You're smart, and you know how to admit mistakes." Qin Mubai threw the bill at him, "Pay for your own mistakes." Don't think someone will cover you. This bill is a profound lesson for you, find a way to solve it yourself! ”

"Woo...... The apprentice had no choice but to sell his land and his hometown's house! Woo, I don't dare to indulge in wine anymore! Pang Fei wanted to cry without tears, and his eyes straightened when he looked at the bill.

"You don't need to sell your land and property, that's your whole family's*!" Qin Mubai said with a smile, "The owner here is my daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door, I will first intercede for you, and she owes it." In the future, if I find out that you are obsessed with wine and do not want to make progress, see that I will make you bankrupt and lose all your money, and the whole family will beg! ”

"Yes!! Thank you! The apprentice promises that he will never dare to slack off and play again in the future, concentrate on serving his teacher, and learn skills from his teacher! Pang Fei kowtowed, as if he had been amnesty.

"That's pretty much it." Qin Mubai clapped his hands, "Change your clothes and go back to the barracks with me." ”

The two returned to the barracks and resumed their normal work. He was on duty in three shifts every day, participating in various trainings in the barracks, and was nervous and a little busy.

Soon, a month passed. During this period, the Tu signing order of the Zuo School Department came to Qin Mubai many times to ask for advice on making pianos. In the past few days, he has finally finished making the piano, and asked Qin Mubai to accept it a few times. After all, it was the first time to make such a delicate and complex instrument, and although Tu Zhiling was a first-class skilled craftsman in the world, he could not satisfy Qin Mubai for a while. As a result, the piano made was reworked and modified several times.

On this day, Qin Mubai happened to be free, so he went to the Zuo School Office by himself. I tried playing the newly modified piano once, and I was finally satisfied!

"Very good, the Tu Signing Order really lives up to its name, and it is a miraculous skill!" Qin Mubai praised him a lot and said, "Now, you first go to the first wine in the world to find a woman named 'Demon Er', and ask her to put away the piano first." Let's just say, this is a new instrument I'm going to teach her, but let her keep quiet. ”

"Okay, the lower official will do it."

Qin Mubai smiled secretly: Very good. It won't be long before Datang will have a pianist. Demon, Shuang'er, the two of you will definitely create a miracle and become the Taishan Beidou in the history of Chinese music!
