Abu was just in the middle of self-absorption when he realized that he was unconsciously playing the guitar. Hearing Abu ask himself this question, he said ashamedly: "I'm sorry sir, I bothered you to play the piano, I just couldn't help but want to sing this song with you." It was not created by me, but by the author of this sketch, also by a friend of mine, called Butterfly Love Flower. It tells a poignant love story, which can be regarded as a personal portrayal of my friend! Mr. Jean smiled. ”

"No, no, how deep is the courtyard? The willows pile up smoke, and the curtain has no repetition. Yule carved saddle tour smelter, the height of the building does not see Zhangtai Road. The rain and wind are wild in March twilight, the door is covered at dusk, and there is no plan to stay in spring. Tearful eyes asked Huahua silently, and the red flew over the swing. The return of the painting pavilion is late in spring, the swallows are flying, and the willows are soft and the peach blossoms are shallow. The drizzle is full of wind and the courtyard is full of sorrows...... This piece is written fresh and refined, and the rhetoric is even more concise and easy to understand, eliminating the awkward words we usually use, but it reflects a different mood, which is very beautiful. After listening to it, I still feel the aftermath lingering in my ears. I'm curious about what kind of instrument you play, Childe, that you can play such a beautiful melody. Can you borrow it for the next look? Yelu Ziye said curiously as he stared at the guitar in Abu's hand.

Abu generously handed the guitar to Jeruziye, who carefully took it out and looked at it carefully. This instrument, which looks like a piano and is not a piano, looks really special. Yelu Ziye plucked the strings on the guitar a few times with his fingers, and it was obvious that he was not as professionally trained as Abu, so he could only make a "bouncing" sound, which was not beautiful music at all.

"Huh? This seems to be a musical instrument of the guqin, and it seems that it is not played by the method of playing the guqin. Can you tell me what instrument you are playing? I've never seen the introduction of this kind of instrument from the sheet music of Nanchu, it shouldn't be the instrument of Nanchu, right? ”

"Mr. Ziye really doesn't hide that this instrument is called a guitar, and it can also be called a six-stringed instrument. It was also created by that friend of mine. Its top and back plate are flat, and the waist is generally concave without horns, but the guitar is generally not recessed. He made a number of guitars, this one was called a classical guitar, the neck was wide and long, the fretboard had string rests and a lot of narrow, slightly upwardly raised metal bars, called 'frets', which divided the strings into many semitones. As a stringed instrument, it is a stringed instrument that produces sound by plucking the strings on top of it. The strings are plucked with one hand and the fingers of the other hand are resting on the fretboard, which is a small strip of metal that covers the neck. The sound of the strumming is enhanced by the guitar's resonance box. ”

Hearing Abu explain that even this guitar was made by Abu's friend, Yelu Ziye couldn't help but be a little surprised. For a person like him who loves piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, a character like Lu Xiaoyu is the object of worship in his heart. The painting has such a unique painting style, the musical instruments are made by himself, and the songs and lyrics are composed by himself, which is simply a great writer.

Yelu Ziye couldn't help but ask Abu what was the surname of this friend, and who was the great writer of Nanchu that he was familiar with. In order to avoid letting Yelu Ziye know the name Lu Xiaoyu, Abu deliberately said the last two words to Lu Yuxiao. Yelu Ziye thought for a while and shook his head, "I still don't know much about the literati of Southern Chu, and I really haven't heard of this Lu Yuxiao's name." But from Childe's mouth, I learned that this gentleman was also a man of great knowledge. At least in my perception of these literati in Nan Chu, this gentleman's artistic attainments should be ranked first. I really hope that gentleman will come to Khitan soon, I would like to meet him and ask him some questions in person. ”

Abu listened to Yelu Ziye's evaluation of Lu Xiaoyu's high quality, and naturally he was also honored. He smiled and said, "This friend of mine knows that there are literati like Mr. in Khitan and will be very happy to meet Mr. "Abu now wants to make Yelu Ziye feel good about him, so that it will be more convenient for him to learn the secrets of the Seventy-Three Witch Sutras from Yelu Ziye.

His gaze happened to sweep to the chess on the table, isn't this an elephant play that only people in Southern Chu can play? When he was in the Flying Tiger Army, Lu Xiaoyu also taught them to play chess, compared to the elephant drama in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States before Southern Chu, it was the same as Yelu Ziye's chess.

At that time, the elephant opera was only a chess piece made of ivory, and as far back as the Warring States Period, the Liubo was already popular among the aristocracy. Liubodang was born in the clan area of the southern part of the Central Plains before and after the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. The chess system consists of three kinds of instruments: chess, chopsticks, and games. Two sides of the chess, each side of the six pieces, there is a saying that the types of chess pieces are: owl, Lu, pheasant, calf, plug (two). The chess pieces are carved out of ivory. Chopsticks, equivalent to dice, are pitched before chess. A game is a square chessboard. Liubo is "throwing six chess and six chess", fighting skillfully and witfully, attacking and forcing each other to win in order to win more games, which is different from chess that eats the king to win, and has no evolutionary relationship.

The chess that Lu Xiaoyu taught Abu is that modern chess is different from the Liubo chess of that era, so when Abu told Yelu Ziye that his friend also invented a more interesting chess than Liubo chess, Yelu Ziye, who used Liubo chess as a leisure activity, suddenly came to the spirit to play a game with Abu.

Abu told Yelu Ziye some basic ways to play chess, such as "The horse walks the Japanese character, the elephant flies the field, the rook takes the straight road, and the cannon climbs the mountain." The soldier walked the ramp to protect the general, and the pawn was gone. The car walks on the straight road and the horse treads obliquely, like the Feitian word cannon, and the pawn crosses the river......"

Chess is a matter of war between the two sides, and the authorities, bystanders, each with their own demeanor; Declaring war and making peace should have common rules. In my opinion, in the drafting of the wartime convention, all those who play the game for the first time must let each other hold the sunspot, and if they go first, they can be slightly expressed, because the first to go is a sign of humility. The common practice is black first and red comes first, and it is polite to ask the other party to go first, which is upside down and confused, which is very wrong. Raise the child and fall the child, must be quiet and quiet, and listen with elegance. Once you have made up your mind, you must not refute it, and those who violate it will be judged negatively. The bystanders shall not participate in the fighting as a principle, and if they agree with the authorities, they shall also be limited to aiding the defeated, and the violators shall be given a warning and punished for self-examination.

Attracted by this interesting way of playing chess, Yelu played three games of chess with Abu while learning, and by the third game he was able to win against Abu.

"General! Haha, I won this set! Abu Gongzi, this chess is so fun! ”

Seeing that he was in a good position on the chessboard, Abu shook his head and congratulated Yelu Ziye: "Mr. is very talented, and he will win me in only three games of chess. ”
