Chapter 64: Zhang Bao's circle of friends
Before the guests arrived, the two chatted in the pavilion. Suddenly, I heard the sound of stroking the harp from the wall.
Zhang Bao frowned and said, "My sister is playing the piano again." On this good day, not playing some festive tunes, but playing some mournful tunes all day long, it is really a bad scenery. Before he finished speaking, the sound of the piano next door suddenly became high-pitched, as if protesting.
Jiang Wei smiled dumbly and said: "Fu Xi made the qin, the first of the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, in ancient times, the qin was mostly used for suburban temple sacrifices, court meetings, and ceremonies, and the music played was all Yale, and there was really no joyful tune." He said with his mouth, but in his heart he thought:
"Zhang Fei has two daughters in history, and in history, he married Liu Chan, the queen of the queen, and I don't know whether it was the eldest daughter or the youngest daughter who played the piano at this time."
Zhang Bao said strangely: "You still know piano music? In fact, in his heart, anyone who can fight with him for 300 rounds is naturally a martial artist who is obsessed with martial arts, could it be that Jiang Wei is also like his own father, a vassal and elegant person?
Hearing Zhang Bao's question, Jiang Wei listened for a while, and had to answer:
"This song is "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats", which is said to be Wen Ji's return to the Han Dynasty, and it is rumored that it was done by the talented girl Cai Wenji. In the war at the end of the Han Dynasty, Cai Wenji was exiled to the Southern Xiongnu for 12 years, and she was the wife of the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang, but she missed her hometown very much, which was a difficulty; When Cao Cao sent someone to take her back to the mainland, she had to leave her two children, and the joy of returning to her hometown was overwhelmed by the pain of parting, which was a dilemma; Cai Wenji's mood is contradictory, and this is why there is "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats". ”
As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "Wen Ji's return to Han was after Cao Cao was crowned King of Wei, only two years ago, and this piece was also played in the north when he was in the north, why did he hear it in Shu today?" ”
Zhang Bao laughed: "Boyo doesn't know, my mother is a member of Xiahou's family, and she often writes with relatives in the north. My sister has been fond of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and she often sends some music scores and poetry collections from the north, all of which are things that tease children. ”
"I see." Jiang Wei suddenly realized.
Zhang Fei's wife, Xiahou Shi, is the sister of the famous Xiahou Yuan, and she followed Zhang Fei when she was in Runan. At present, although the exchanges between Wei and Shu at the official level are very serious, people-to-people exchanges are not restricted. Therefore, it is naturally not difficult for Zhang Fei's daughter to obtain the latest popular collection of music scores and poems in the north through her mother's channel.
While the two were talking, the playing next door continued. The sound of the piano is clear and skillful, the high is long and sad, the low is deep and sad, and the poignant and mournful voice penetrates directly into the hearts of the people. played to the extreme sorrow, occasionally sounded a few sonorous wisps, as if to break free from the injustice of this fate.
Jiang Wei couldn't help but sigh, and said contemplatively: "Human life in troubled times is like mustard, not to mention that Cai Wenji is a woman, who is neither able to resist the situation of being taken captive to the Xiongnu, nor can she resist the fate of being separated from her children, so this song should be based on sadness." But today, when I heard Lingmei's play, the song was changed to a high-pitched one at the end of the mountain and water, which showed that it was a sense of injustice. Please forgive me for lying in the next place, Ling Mei has the ambition to have eyebrows. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the piano next door stopped abruptly.
Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment, knowing that he was reckless and abrupt, so he had to apologize and say: "Talking nonsense, but it disturbed Ling Mei's Yaxing." ”
Zhang Bao had been impatient to listen to it for a long time, and when she saw her sister stop playing the piano, she stood up, stretched out her hand, and said, "Don't worry, Boyo, she is such a personality." I see the hour is almost up, and they should all be almost there. Boyo and I welcome guests together, and I will introduce you to you. ”
The sky is getting dark, and tonight's guests are in place one after another, and Zhang Bao invited a total of eight guests tonight. As Jiang Wei expected, most of the people who had a very close relationship with Zhang Bao were the heirs of Liu Bei's team before he entered Shu, and they were also the so-called second generation of Yuan Congguan.
Needless to say, Mi Wei, the son of General Mi Zhu of An Han, although he competed with Zhang Bao in the army, he grew up together since he was a child and was a very good friend in private.
There is also a pair of brothers, the eldest is seventeen or eighteen years old, and the younger is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and there is a shadow of Zhao Yun between the eyebrows and eyes of the two, which is Zhao Tong and Zhao Guang, the sons of Zhao Yun, the general of the Yi army. Because the two are still young, they have not yet officially debuted.
Wei Rong, the second son of General Zhenyuan and Wei Yan of Hanzhong, temporarily lived in the capital, and he liked to dance with knives and sticks since he was a child, and he was quite able to play with everyone.
But what caught Jiang Wei's attention the most was Huo Jun's son Huo Yi.
Speaking of which, this was before Liu Bei entered Shu. At that time, Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, and Mi Wei grew up in Jingzhou together, and they were twelve or thirteen years old, which was the age when they went to the house to uncover the tiles and fly high. Huo Yi was still a little kid with a snot and wearing open crotch pants at the time, but he also chased after the ass of these brothers and had a lot of fun.
Later, his father Huo Jun followed Liu Bei into Shu. When Liu Bei broke with Liu Zhang, he was ordered to garrison Jia Meng, and successively blocked the attacks of Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang, making great contributions. After Liu Bei settled in Shu, he set up Zitong County in Guanghan, with Huo Jun as the first Zitong Taishou.
It's a pity that Huo Jun's life was not long, and he died in the county after three years, and the coffin was transported back to CD for burial.
Liu Bei deplored Huo Jun's death very much, led his staff to attend Huo Jun's funeral, and stayed at Huo Jun's tomb to raise his son Huo Yi in the mansion.
At present, Huo Yi is already a fifteen-year-old boy, a talent, living in the palace of Hanzhong. He suffered the pain of losing his father when he was a teenager, and his temperament gradually calmed down, and he no longer had the swagger and frivolity he used to be. Look at it, it is even more unassuming.
Zhang Bao is righteous, very sympathetic to Huo Yi's plight, and is as kind to him as ever, just like his own brother, he has done a lot of things for him openly and secretly. Therefore, the friendship between Huo Yi and his brothers did not fade away at any time, but still survived after all.
In addition, there were also Jian Shu, the son of Jian Yong, Pang Hong, the son of Pang Tong, and others who attended the banquet.
Under Zhang Bao's introduction, Jiang Wei greeted these second generations one by one.
Speaking of which, Jiang Wei surrendered thousands of miles, offered a plan to subdue the Baimaqiang people, and contributed to the Yongliang topographic map, and was named the general of Fengyi, and the official title was not below everyone here.
But everyone looked noncommittal about these, until Zhang Bao said that the two fought twice in a row, and he was taken by Jiang Weisheng for one and a half moves both times, that he changed his appearance of importance, looked at it again, and saluted. It made him cry and laugh a little.
Zhang Bao's younger brother Zhang Shao was the last to arrive.
It turned out that Zhang Fei had returned to the CD to report on his work in recent days, and had been discussing major matters in Liu Bei's Hanzhong palace during the day, and returned to the palace in the afternoon. Zhang Shao was caught by his father to teach martial arts and learning, so he was late.
Zhang Shao is sixteen or seventeen years old, and he looks quite delicate, which is very different from Zhang Bao's image of a rough man with five big and three thick.
