Chapter 90: No whipping, no pleasure
Zhen Wan held the account book, came to the door with a happy footwork, and gently pushed it open, and the sight was that Dong Ce, who was dressed in black, was sitting on the wooden couch by the window, and slowly stroked a Xiqin that was only common in the north towards the sunset.
"The owner." Zhen Wan Shili said.
Dong Ce nodded lightly, but without answering, he picked up a piece of rosin and slowly wiped the bow hair.
Zhen Wan looked at it quietly for a long time before he approached and put the account book on the case, and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that the owner still plays the Xi Qin?" ”
"You've been in the North?" Dong Ce glanced at Zhen Wan, and immediately made Zhen Wan's heart tighten, but only for a moment, she smiled and said, "Does the owner like to strip people naked?" ”
"If you say that you have seen a northern shepherd playing on the Xi Qin in Yangzhou, you can still wear it even if I take it off."
Dong Ce retracted his gaze and fell on Xi Qin, rubbing the rosin fragrance as if talking to himself: "Xi Qin is commonly known as the erhu, is the only musical instrument that my master is proficient in, I remember when I was a child, he often sat in front of the door to play, and I like to squat beside him and listen quietly." ”
Dong Ce put down the rosin, put on the bow shaft, and adjusted the string shaft.
"But I don't know when it started, I got tired and left, and when I came back, I found that time had changed, things were people, and a melodious song could only linger in the depths of memory!"
When Dong Ce sighed, the piano sounded, at first, the sound of the piano was just a repeated piercing mournful, but in just a few breaths, a melodious and sombre and heart-numbing piano sound echoed in the room.
Zhen Wan's pupils shrank suddenly, and the hairs all over his body seemed to be dancing to the sound of the piano.
"Huh? What a sound, listen to it! On the stage under the attic, Yu Nan, who was rehearsing, was surprised.
"I've never heard such sad and desolate music, Master Hua, do you know what kind of instrument this is made of?" Lu Qing was also quite surprised.
Hua Ge, the musician steward of the art garden, listened quietly for a moment, and said uncertainly: "It seems to be ...... It's the northern shepherd's Xi Qin! ”
"Xi Qin!" Lu Qing was stunned when he heard this, and then asked, "So, this is Hu Le?" ”
"It should be!" Hua Ge said, as if thinking of something, and said: "By the way, the day before yesterday, the owner asked me if I knew Xiqin, or if I knew a musician who understood Xiqin, and at that time I said that I didn't understand and didn't know, and now when I hear this Xiqin song, I guess it should be that the owner has found a Xiqin musician." ”
"It should be." Lu Qing smiled and said: "The owner has always said that Liang Zhu's soundtrack is not sad enough, if it can be accompanied by this Xiqin song, it will definitely be able to support Liang Zhu's poignant feeling!" ”
Dong Ce closed his eyes, basking in the sunset, playing Xi Qin, he seemed to enjoy it very much, and shook his upper body with the sound of the piano.
When the song ended, when Dong Ce opened his eyes, he seemed to be stabbed by the sunset, his eyes turned his head slightly red, and he leaned Xi Qin on the couch railing, and quietly flipped through the account book on the case.
Although the song stopped, Zhen Wan seemed to be still deeply immersed in the song, until a teardrop slipped down the corner of her mouth, she suddenly woke up, shook her head, sniffed, Zhen Wan sighed: "I can't imagine that the owner is still a big Xiqin expert, this is more beautiful and pleasant than all the Xiqin music I have ever heard!" Dare to ask the owner, what is the name of this song? ”
Dong Ce finished reading a page of accounts, and said lightly when he turned the next page: "It's just a nameless thing to do as you like." ”
"You can have such a realm as you like, and the owner really admires me!" Zhen Wan said with a smile.
Dong Ce glanced at Zhen Wan, and said with a light smile: "You also make me admire, you can completely master the arithmetic I called you within two days, it seems that it is time to pass on your multiplication and division." ”
Zhen Wan was overjoyed when he heard this, Dong Ce's arithmetic method was easy to learn and use, and the abacus bookkeeping was flying, which was exactly what the White Lotus Sect's chaotic accounts needed.
Dong Ce didn't have to guess to know what Zhen Wan was thinking, and he didn't mind at all.
His actions made Zhen Wan even more puzzled, Dong Ce clearly saw that she was a member of the White Lotus Sect, but she was still willing to teach herself skills, what did he want?
After reading the account book and making sure that it was correct, Dong Ce began to teach Zhen Wan multiplication and division, until Liu Fulai called them to eat, and the two left the attic together, and had a coarse tea and light meal with everyone in the tea hall, and he summoned the musicians to the stage.
"I have asked the Four Treasures Treasure Workshop to bring a batch of Xiqin back from the north, and all of you will have to learn it when the time comes." Dong Ce looked at the eight musicians and said.
"Host, didn't you hire a Xiqin musician?" Hua Ge wondered.
"It's because I can't invite you to learn, and I was the one who played upstairs just now." Dong Ce didn't have a good airway.
"Ah, it's you, the owner, but...... Just practicing the little song you hummed, it makes us miserable, and we have to practice the chorus every day, if you still learn this Xi qin, I'm afraid ......"
"You haven't written the scores yet?" Dong Ce frowned.
"This ...... The ordinary score is okay, but the owner hums a minor key, and many timbres are ......" Hua Ge said very embarrassedly, and finally he couldn't go on.
"I understand." Dong Ce nodded helplessly, his requirements are already very high for them, these musicians are all playing and singing in the teahouse restaurant to beg for rewards, and they don't even have the qualifications to enter the Qinglou, and the musicians of the Qinglou are trained by the Qinglou himself, and the second is that he has too little money here, and people are not happy to come, it is already rare for Meng Feng to recruit these people.
"Brother Dong, don't embarrass Lao Hua and them, I think it's good now, no matter how hard you try, the ticket price is not the same, as for it?" Zhou Cong walked over with a body of fat and a body of fat, and the Tile masters were uneven.
Dong Ce glanced at the fat man, and said to Hua Ge and the others: "I don't care what you do elsewhere, but when you come to me, you must strive for perfection, you can't slack off, I originally wanted to exercise you slowly, but now it seems that it can't be done, from now on, I will be assessed once a month, and those who progress in skills will be rewarded, and I can only regret asking him to leave after three months of standing still, you don't have to be afraid, from the time you joined the art garden to today, there is progress every day." ”
Hearing Dong Ce's words, the musicians were stunned!
Without waiting for them to respond, Dong Ce swept the surrounding backstage staff and actors, and continued: "You are the same, from now on, musician Hua Ge, backstage He Guan, costume Xiaohua and her mother, you three managers must pay attention, select three outstanding employees every month, report to Lu Qing, the manager of the theater, Lu Qing, you also have to choose three from the actors, report to me after the statistics, and after I confirm the reward, the reward will be distributed together with the monthly money, and those who have no fighting spirit do not need to be discouraged, as long as you keep improving, the monthly money will rise every month, and the more people under your command will improve, As a steward, the monthly money will be more, and the same is true for the kitchen and carpentry, on the contrary, if there is a group of wine bags and rice bags under your hands, then you will also step down for me, and I will prepare a standard book for good and bad employees when I go back, and if you don't know the word, you can go to the school to ask Mr. Ouyang for advice, over. ”
After Dong Ce finished speaking, he ignored everyone's emotions and went straight back to the attic.
The so-called horse is not whipped and unhappy, after Dong Ce's standard book for good and bad employees was issued, the entire art garden was like an engine that raised horsepower to the limit, roaring.
"Nan'er, you're lazy again, hurry up and rehearse for me." Lu Qing waited angrily for Yu Nandao.
Although Yu Nan got up, he pouted and said, "I can't imagine that Sister Lu is so greedy for money!" ”
"What are you talking about, you stinky girl." Lu Qing crossed his hands on his hips and said angrily: "Since the owner has divided the departments, now all departments are working hard to improve, if we fall behind, don't you make people laugh!" ”
"Yes, yes, you don't love money and face, do you!" Yu Nan pouted.
"You girl, cough, I originally planned to nominate you, I heard that the reward for the first outstanding employee is ten times! Now ......" Lu Qing looked regretful.
Yu Nan's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly said, "Don't, I've worked hardest, Sister Lu, you know!" ”
"Death side." Li Fei interjected, causing Yu Nan to immediately start a fight with this girl, if it weren't for Lu Qing's face and scolding, I am afraid that these two girls will really fight endlessly.
