On winter nights, the moonlight is hazy, as if through a layer of mist, scattering the ground cold. The pale moonlight of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info makes people feel desolate, looking at the moonlight that is no longer like water, the tenderness that passes through the mood spreads like a mist, lingering for a long time......

In such an environment, it is a New Year's atmosphere of reunion for every family, and it is no wonder that Cai Yan misses his deceased father......

Zhang Fan's suggestion undoubtedly found the goal and motivation for Cai Yan, who is in the gloomy period, for the next life. Such a senseless sentimental indulgence is not filial piety, and finding a way to make her father's works famous for generations is what a daughter should do.

Thinking of this, Cai Yan's heart warmed, and he couldn't help but feel another layer of gratitude to Zhang Fan.

As for Zhang Fan's thoughts about her, she is not stupid, it's not that she can't guess. After all, there is no love for no reason in the world, why should others help themselves?

However, after his father's death, he was helpless, and because of the "crying Dong Zhuo", his father was not guaranteed in his later years, and his reputation was lost, and he even carried a lot of infamy with himself......

Originally, even if Zhang Fan forcibly accepted herself as a concubine, with her current situation, she would not have the right to refuse. But Zhang Fan has the virtue of a gentleman, he has never offended her, and he also puts himself in her shoes to plan her life, which is particularly precious. In this cold winter, it was like a cup of hot tea warming her heart.

……

"Sister Yan...... Sister Yan......"

Lu Lingqi hugged Cai Yan's arm and shook it, waking her up from reverie, Cai Yan brushed the green silk in her ear, and said softly:

"What's wrong?"

Lu Lingqi said: "I think this piano song is very good! Can you teach me well? ”

Cai Yan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled:

"Okay, since you like it, I'll teach you!"

Zhang Fan held his forehead with his hand and had to complain inwardly:

My stupid daughter-in-law, your emotional intelligence is really low, people are already immersed in the sadness of their father's death, and playing this song is also to inspire their hearts, vent their feelings, and express their feelings of longing that have nowhere to put them. You still want someone else to teach you, so every time she plays it, won't she be sad and aggravated?

Isn't that the same as pouring salt over and over again on someone's wounds? If it weren't for the fact that you've always been so heartless, I'm afraid I'd wonder if there's a long-cherished grudge between you—

Zhang Fan could only save the scene and said with a smile:

"This song is so difficult, how troublesome it is for you to learn! Let's take it step by step and start with a relatively simple start! ”

Lu Lingqi has always liked to be competitive, and retorted unconvinced:

"Hmph, don't underestimate people, how do you know I'm not good?"

Zhang Fan pursed the corners of his lips, revealing a faint dimple on the side of his mouth, and said with a smile:

"Okay, since you are so confident in yourself, then I'll test you on a few common senses about the piano. If you answer, Miss Yan will teach you this tune; If you can't answer it, you start with the basics...... Do you dare? ”

Lu Lingqi did not hesitate and replied stiffly:

"Who is afraid of whom! Let the horses come! ”

Zhang Fan smiled slightly and began to ask:

"The original piano was a five-stringed instrument, but how did it become a lyre?"

Lu Lingqi was stunned, and after a while, she said tentatively:

"Because the seven strings are better?"

Zhang Fan shook his head and said:

"Originally, the qin had only five strings, which were combined with five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth; The outer combination of five tones, palace, business, horn, sign, feather. Later, King Wen was imprisoned in Jinli, missing his son Bo Yi Kao, and added a string for Wen Xian; King Wu cut the string, add a string, is for the martial string. Collectively known as the civil and military lyre. ”

Lu Lingqi didn't know if this was the case, so she turned her head to look at Cai Yan with an advisory gaze, and Cai Yan nodded. Lu Lingqi said stiffly:

"Humph! I knew that, but ...... I just didn't think about it. ”

"Okay, then I'll ask you about the seven-string exam." Zhang Fan pointed to the strings and said:

"How much wire do you use for these five strings?"

Lu Lingqi scratched her head and complained, and said weakly after a while:

"Is there anything else to be particular about?"

Zhang Fan said: "Of course. One string belongs to the earth for the palace. Saturn divides the four seasons. The chord is the largest. With eighty-one branches. The voice is heavy and respectful. Therefore, it is said to be the king; The second string belongs to gold as a quotient. Venus should be the festival of autumn. Next to the palace. Seventy-two threads are used for the strings. I can decide. Therefore, it is said to be a minister; The three strings belong to the wood for the horns. Jupiter's Spring Festival. The strings are made of sixty-four filaments. Touched for it. Therefore, it is said to be for the people. It is humbled to be under the king's ministers. Therefore, the third string and the lower eight are also for this; The four strings belong to fire. Mars celebrates the summer festival. Strings with fifty-four filaments. All things are beautiful. Therefore, it is said to be a thing; The five strings belong to the water as the feather. Mercury is the festival of winter. The strings are made of forty-eight filaments. Gather the appearance of pure things. Therefore, it is said to be a thing. ”

Cai Yan nodded again, and Lu Lingqi muttered:

"Humph! Are you stupid? What question you are asking has nothing to do with playing the piano! ”

"Okay, then I'll ask a relational one, you listen well-" Zhang Fan continued to ask:

"The piano is a tool and three sounds. Its loose sound is loose and distant, which makes people think of ancient times; Its overtones are like heavenly sounds, with a sense of coldness and immortality; The sound is very rich, the lingering rhyme under the fingers is subtle and long, sometimes like human language, can be dialogued, sometimes like the mood of people's hearts, ethereal and changeable. How many scatters, overtones, and presses are there? ”

Lu Lingqi is circled, she knows about these scattered sounds, overtones, and press sounds, but as for how many of them there are, she really doesn't remember......

Lu Lingqi guessed: "Seven, sixty-four, ninety-five." ”

"Wrong. Seven scatters, ninety-one overtones, and one hundred and forty-seven. ”

Cai Yan stretched out his hand and made a helpless expression to Lu Lingqi.

Lu Lingqi's face fell, but she still refused to admit defeat and resisted to the end:

"Hmph, at least one is right, even if I answer a question, you continue!"

Khan, what kind of bandit logic is this?

Zhang Fan's dark eyes were full of starlight, his eyes seemed to be clear flowing water, he looked at Lu Lingqi and then asked:

"The ancient piano is a clever integration of its philosophical ideas into the guqin, and its production form has the deep meaning of educating people. There is a heart to taste the piano, and its shape is enough to make people happy. Name a few symbolic meanings of the name? ”

Lu Lingqi had a question mark on her face, and said suspiciously:

"And the symbolism? You can't just break it up, right? ”

Zhang Fan almost fainted, couldn't help but raise his voice, pointed to the yaoqin on the coffee table, and said while gesturing:

"The front of the piano is wide and the back is narrow, symbolizing the difference between respect and inferiority; The top of the piano is rounded, symbolizing the roundness of the sky. The base plate is straight, symbolizing the place; The length of the piano is about 3 feet 6 inches and 6 minutes, symbolizing that there are 365 days in a year plus a leap day; The thirteen emblems symbolize the month of December, and the largest emblem in the center represents the leap month; The five strings of palace, business, horn, sign and feather symbolize the five social levels of king, courtier, people, affairs and things. Later, the sixth and seventh strings were added, called the two strings of Wen and Wu, symbolizing the grace of the monarch and the minister; The piano has three kinds of timbres: overtones, scattered tones and press tones, the overtones are heaven, the scattered sound is the earth, and the legal person is according to the sound, which symbolizes the harmony of heaven, earth and man respectively. You don't know all of them, do you? ”

Lu Lingqi was silent, looking at Zhang Fan with a small face, like a little wild cat with teeth and claws, annoyed that she had embarrassed herself in front of her new friends.

Zhang Fan tilted his head, the bridge of his nose was straight and his thin lips were slightly hooked as if he was smiling, and a smile spread across his face. This smile seems to make the sunlight suddenly break through the clouds and shine in at once, gentle and free.
