Chapter Twenty-Three: The King Sees the King
didn't hesitate for long, Chen Jialuo decided to take a look, at least in the short term, Qianlong is the biggest opponent he has to face, try not to miss an opportunity to have a close contact, and judge his character and way of doing things through observation, then he can formulate corresponding strategies for the flaws in his character, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Chen Jialuo didn't think that he would have the same luck as in the original book, so he sat down on the teahouse opposite the Futai Yamen early the next morning, ordered a pot of tea, and sat until the evening without seeing anyone like Qianlong come out; I went several times in a row, and early on the morning of the third day, a strong man in a blue robe at No. 30 or 40 walked out of the gate around a middle-aged gentleman dressed in his forties.
When they turned the corner, Chen Jialuo immediately threw the ingot and silver on the table, and quickly went downstairs and ran to the West Lake from another road; Walking to the top of Feilai Peak, through the lush trees, I vaguely saw a few men walking around in Tianzhu, and from the clothes, it was probably those people at the gate of the Futai Yamen just now.
Hand cranked paper fan, pretending to be a scholar who came to play, Chen Jialuo slowly went up and down for three days, up the mountain, while searching for the verses of the late Qing Dynasty poet in his mind while looking for Qianlong, occasionally the blue-clothed man he met on the road saw him with a different color, and now Chen Jialuo was more sure that Qianlong was on the mountain, and those guards showed a surprised expression when they saw him look like Qianlong.
When the fast knife Tianzhu Guanyin Temple, I suddenly heard the sound of the piano on the side of the mountain, and there was a long chanting sound, which came with the sound of the broken mountain waterfall. I only heard the man chanting: "Splendid Qiankun Beauty, Imperial Gang Chen Ji." The four dynasties Ji Rui recruited the teacher, looked forward to the emperor, and the cloud opened the pheasant fan to move. Li Min led Luan Yu to the village to block the wine flag. Tianxi, in the imperial furnace, Rui Yunfei. ”
The rhetoric is gorgeous but the style is not high, not only borrowed the allusion of Du Mu's "Shuicun Mountain Guo Wine Flag Wind" to set off the prosperous scene, but also stuffed several rare words into it, proving that the lyricist's artistic level is not high and he loves to show off, and he is embarrassed to read it out loud on the edge of the West Lake where talented people gather, so it means that he often receives praise and does not know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, according to the above points, Chen Jialuo easily judged that the person in front of him was Qianlong.
Walking in the direction of the sound, the gentleman-dressed man just now was sitting on the mountain rock and stroking the qin, and beside him stood two strong men in blue and a thin old man, this old man was probably Bai Zhen with golden claws and iron hooks; At this time, as soon as the sound of the piano fell, Qianlong also saw Chen Jialuo, and for some reason a sense of closeness rose in his heart, and he opened his mouth to invite, "Brother Tai is also here to visit the mountains?" ”
Chen Jialuo saluted lazily, "I happened to be here, and I heard someone playing the piano, so I came over to take a look, didn't disturb my brother's platform?" It is said that people can best see their true nature when they are emotional, anyway, Chen Jialuo didn't plan to recognize this brother, so he planned to be angry with him.
Seeing Chen Jialuo's rude appearance, the guards were about to scold, Qianlong coughed lightly, and the two of them retreated, "This song "Splendid Qiankun" is the new work of the younger brother, Your Excellency is not only a bosom friend, but also hope to advise!" ”
Chen Jialuo walked up to him and stared at the guqin in Qianlong's arms for a long time, and kept smacking in his mouth, "Hey, it's a pity that this is a good piano!" ”
Qianlong's face suddenly couldn't hang up, and asked him how his tune was, but he regretted this piano, what did he mean? His face sank, "What do you mean, brother?" ”
"The piano is a pure heart and dry instrument, used to play this kind of flattering music, vulgar and vulgar!" , Chen Jialuo shook his head and said, with a posture of Wei and Jin's madness.
"Hehe, now that the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, the country and the people are safe, this song is just expressing its due meaning, how can it be regarded as flattery?" , Qianlong has been the emperor for so many years, he couldn't hold back his anger and handed the piano to Chen Jialuo, "Looking at the brother's appearance, he must be proficient in the piano, how about playing a song?" ”
"Okay, what do I want to see?" , Chen Jialuo took the guqin and sat down cross-legged, chanting while tuning the strings, "Actually, I want to play a song "Qinyuan Spring", but I'm afraid that you will be unhappy when you listen to it, so it's better to change a song you haven't heard!" ”
Chen Jialuo was born in a family, and the ability to play the piano was practiced since childhood, although he has not moved much for more than a year, but the memory of the body is still there, and he recalled the tune, and played it sonorously, singing loudly while playing, "The sea laughs, the tide on both sides of the strait, and the ups and downs follow the waves to remember the present day." The sky is laughing, and there are tides in the world, and God knows who loses and who wins. The rivers and mountains are smiling, the smoke and rain are far away, and the waves are sweeping away the red dust and the world. The breeze smiled, but it was lonely, and the pride was still left in the evening photo. The common people are laughing, no longer lonely, the pride is still laughing and laughing, lala"
"Brother Tai's song is also chic!" , Qianlong held back for a long time before he could hold back a few words, "The rhythm is unconventional, but after thinking for a long time, I didn't find a song card that can be right!" Listening to this song makes people feel proud! ”
"It's right if I haven't heard it, this piece is my new work today, and it is extraordinary that Brother Tai can taste the wonders of it." , Chen Jialuo made a happy look.
"Brother Tai has an extraordinary appearance and outstanding piano skills, so he must have been born in a family? I don't know what position Ling Zun holds? What is the fame of Brother Tai? Qianlong asked, thinking that when he asked who your family was, he would recruit them into the palace next time to see what you had to say.
Isn't my dad your dad? Is this still to be asked? Chen Jialuo said, "Xianyan has unfortunately passed away, and when he was fifteen years old, he was promoted to the middle school. ”
"Oh? Did you take the exam later? But the examiner was blind, which led to the failure of the brother's field? Qianlong asked.
"No, no, no, after I got the middle and raised people, I saw that there were many things in the court and I was a fly camp dog, so I broke off the idea of fame, rather than the remnants of the people, it is better to drag the tail in the mud." , the last sentence is the words in the original book.
Qianlong's face changed three times when he heard this, and he paused slightly, but somehow, the face in front of him couldn't make people angry, and he said with a smile: "Brother Tai is elegant, and his mind is beyond the reach of ordinary people of my generation. Having said that, Chen Jialuo repeatedly sarcastically had no intention of chatting again, "Brother Tai, I still have something to do, so I won't leave it today." ”
Chen Jialuo didn't care, got up and handed the piano back, Qianlong waved his hand, "Brother Tai's piano skills are outstanding, this piano will be given to Brother Tai!" ”
Chen Jialuo was not polite, and held the piano in his arms, "It's okay, anyway, it's a tyrannical thing for this piano to stay in your hands." ”
