Chapter 86 Preparing for the Spring Festival Gala
Sun Xiangfu went out on business for a few days, to say that the most unhappy thing was actually the prince Li Chengqian, who repeated two songs every day, no matter how novel and greasy, sometimes he would go to the side hall to learn music to beat the drums, but unfortunately there was no way, just a noise of ping-pong.
Today, Sun Xiangfu finally came to teach him on time, and by the way, he also brought a few cars of New Year's gifts, in addition to food, as well as clothes and furniture, Sun Xiangfu wants to operate the supreme leather goods and royal furniture, he must first open the top market, so that others can be proud of getting these tall goods by hearing their names, so the prince Li Chengqian became the first batch of users of products.
"This rocking chair is really comfortable to sit on, but it's a bit big, and it's almost the same for my father to sit on."
Of course, it was for your father to sit on, but Sun Xiangfu didn't say it, he didn't like to run to the harem if he had nothing to do, and he was afraid of being robbed, so he wanted to ask Li Chengqian's hand to transfer it.
Under the joint efforts of the Ministry of Supervision and other departments, Quyuan Plough has been built enough, and there is no problem in radiating the entire Guanzhong range, and the drawings and samples will also be slowly transmitted to the local states and counties, so that the local officials can supervise the construction themselves, so the craftsmen of the Forestry Department have returned to the headquarters and began to stock up in large quantities according to the drawings left by Sun Xiangfu for them.
On the side of the Animal Husbandry Division, Sun Xiangfu just asked people to send some leather goods to the house, and Nie Sanniang was responsible for trial production according to Sun Xiangfu's ideas, and several finished products have been made.
There are also several new leather boots, with heels, because the beef tendon is a military control product, can not be used to boil the sole, so it is made of linen cloth sole, which is divided into different thicknesses, made of a foot support, Li Chengqian first wore this sports version of leather boots with foot support, and immediately fell in love with this kind of shoes that can make him walk more easily.
Money is a good thing, with it, Sun Xiangfu can do a lot of things, such as changing the household registration of 300 government soldiers, giving them a high salary that they never thought of, equipping them with the top equipment of this era, and allowing them to train without scruples when they are full of food in Happy Village. It also allows those who dare to covet themselves to put away their thoughts.
In the case of being suppressed by the family and being despised by the emperor, Sun Xiangfu can only slowly strengthen himself with his head stuffy, before he has the ability to fight back, he does not dare to break such a situation, human life in ancient times is really fragile, as a small person in later generations, Sun Xiangfu is very greedy for life and afraid of death, so he can only come steadily, including voting for the prince Li Chengqian, and it is also because of this that the officials who support the prince's family can see themselves as their own people, and make the defense of their umbrella stronger.
"We can't waste time, today we are going to learn a few simple chord transitions and two new songs, you follow me and press the chords, listen to the sound, the first one, I call it the C chord······"
An hour later, Li Chengqian and Hou Shuya were able to stutter and sing the new song that Sun Xiangfu taught today.
"Happy New Year! Happy New Year, best wishes to all, Happy New Year, we sing, we dance, wish you all, Happy New Year!······"
"Without the fragrance of flowers, without the height of trees, I am a little grass that no one knows······"
After Sun Xiangfu's teaching time is up, it will stop immediately, he doesn't want to resist this matter, he was punished by the eldest grandson, out of the East Palace, Sun Xiangfu immediately went to the imperial city, not to the Yamen of the Fishery Division, but to the eunuch.
"Daoist Yuan, what's the matter with your nephew? How did you live in my house? ”
Sun Xiangfu went out on business early in the morning on the second day of the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism, but he missed Li Chunfeng who planned to live in Sun's mansion with a bunch of salutes, but the hostess of the house, Yu Xiu'er, recognized Li Chunfeng, so she arranged a room for him to live, these days, Li Chunfeng spent time with the children in the happy village in the study, Sun Xiangfu taught the children the mathematical knowledge, he only took a few days to learn, this morning, actually pestered Sun Xiangfu to let him teach himself new knowledge.
"Hehe, don't blame Sun Xiamu, my nephew, keen and studious, read through the Taoist classics at the age of eighteen, and the Confucian scriptures are not bad, how can I let it go when I see new knowledge!"
Yuan Tiangang smiled when he heard this, Li Chunfeng is a rare genius in a hundred years of Daomen, so he will achieve the position of deputy supervisor of Taishi at such a young age, and Yuan Tiangang has always cultivated him as the next generation of Daomen masters.
It turned out to be a scholar, Sun Xiangfu nodded depressedly, but he didn't know that he was more powerful than Master Xuanzang who could defeat the whole world by himself, but unfortunately Xuanzang didn't go to Sun Xiangfu's house, and after coming back, Sun Xiangfu had asked Lawyer Pei and Cheng Chumo to help find Xuanzang's whereabouts in the city.
"That's it, just learn if you love to learn! There is another thing I came down to find Yuan Daochang today, that is, the secret building I mentioned before, and my idea is like this······"
After Sun Xiangfu told Yuan Tiangang about the idea of the underground shelter, Yuan Tiangang agreed to help him design it, provided that he could watch the rehearsal and stage installation of the Wangjianglou drama, Sun Xiangfu had no objection to this, and hoped that after a thousand years, the Taoist priests would not only guard the temple and collect tickets from tourists, but at least perform some magic tricks or something, entertaining tourists!
Intricately designed things can not be made in a moment and a half, Sun Xiangfu stayed in the Taishi Prison until the afternoon to return, the fourth time of the White Snake Legend in the past two days has also entered the final rehearsal, moreover, on Chinese New Year's Eve, some of the performance programs installed will also enter the final order, all the entertainers on Sun Xiangfu Mansion will take out their unique skills learned during this time, and on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, a performance of up to five or six hours will be performed until midnight.
Sun Xiangfu's star halo on himself has had an effect, at least on the twenty-ninth day of the year, when he took a cart of New Year's goods to the homes of several familiar magnates to give New Year's gifts, the children of the family who wandered around the East Market did not dare to speak sarcastically and insult him, if these scoldings spread a little wind, then the scolding son and brother might be drowned by the saliva of the people of Chang'an.
In addition, over there in the Qinglou, after many prostitutes began to sing the song "Rolling Red Dust", they admired the five-body throw of Sun Xiangfu who knew how to play music and sang well, Wang Lin can now catch their deeds of sale, but he can't catch their hearts.
People have a crowd effect, where it is lively, the more they love to drill where, today Sun Xiangfu is on the street with such fanfare, but not just a simple answer for New Year's gifts, there is a big flag on the car for New Year's gifts, and propaganda posters are also pasted on the carriage.
"Wangjianglou will hold a grand Spring Festival Gala on Chinese New Year's Eve, and I will definitely ask Miss Xiangxue to see it then." A young man who saw the huge calligraphy on the poster shook his fist excitedly.
"What kind of Spring Festival gala is Wangjianglou going to do, I heard that as long as the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is arranged in Wangjianglou, you can always watch the show inside, except for the fourth time of the White Snake Legend staged in the afternoon, there are three new programs in the evening, until midnight, and Chinese New Year's Eve does not close that night, doesn't this mean that you can watch the performance in Wangjianglou throughout Chinese New Year's Eve."
After the news circled around Chang'an City in the New Year's car, it spread everywhere, and the plot behind the White Snake Legend has a huge attraction to people who have watched the play before, and the new show has made everyone have a sense of expectation, no need to wait for tomorrow, the people who go to Wangjiang Tower to set a location today have already formed a flow of people.
"Teacher, can Lone go to Wangjiang Tower to perform a show?"
In the East Palace, after Li Chengqian played and sang "Happy New Year" and "Little Grass" briskly, he looked at Sun Xiangfu with expectant eyes, which was the homework left to him by Sun Xiangfu in the last class.
"Well, this, I'm afraid you have to convince Your Majesty and Niangniang first, after all, you are the crown prince, and if you perform on stage, you will be impeached by those civil officials." Sun Xiangfu hesitated for a moment before saying.
Li Chengqian is indeed very talented in learning music, even if Sun Xiangfu has additional guidance for Shu Ya at night, but she can still only be on par with Li Chengqian, counting, the two of them are much faster than when Sun Xiangfu learned guitar, and if they continue to teach like this, in fact, it won't be long before Sun Xiangfu's stomach will be hollowed out by them, after all, Sun Xiangfu's own level is also an amateur in later generations.
"Then why did everyone praise Gu last time at Wangjing Peak?"
Li Chengqian asked puzzled. Music is one of the six arts of a gentleman, and even his father agreed to his learning, so is it wrong to show everyone the results of his learning after learning well?
"Last time, it was because you were singing specifically for Your Majesty, and your Majesty was happy, that was your filial piety, and those who were fortunate enough to watch it were all important ministers of the court, so naturally everyone would not say anything, but this time it was different, many of the audience were civilians, and let the noble prince perform on the stage, but let the civilians watch, and the scholars would feel that this was insulting to the dignity of the nobles and the royal family." Sun Xiangfu explained.
However, Li Chengqian obviously did not accept his explanation, and his eyes rolled and said, "Is it that my father is here in person, and I can perform on stage?" ”
"Well, if that's the case, it can be said that you borrowed the stage of Wangjianglou to sing to Your Majesty, and the civilians are just stained, but this matter, I'm afraid it will have an impact on your reputation, I don't know if it's good or bad, you'd better go and report to Your Majesty first!"
Sun Xiangfu didn't say it to death, and turned drama and stage performance into an elegant art sought after by nobles, which Sun Xiangfu was happy to see, so that the social status of the actor would improve, that is, the status of himself and his next group of artists would improve, which would have a bonus effect on Sun Xiangfu's protective aura, and he would naturally not object.
"Alright! In the afternoon, I will go to my father's place, by the way, if my father agrees, will I sing "Little Grass" and "Happy New Year" on stage? Li Chengqian asked again.
"Of course not, these two songs are too simple, at most make a skewer interlude, I will teach you another song in today's class, if you can go on stage, I will arrange a backup song for you."
Sun Xiangfu said, and put a piece of music score drawn from his memory last night on the music score shelf, and the song was "Spring Flowers" that he was familiar with.
