Chapter 22 Chatting on the Way Home
"Mr. Lu, the little girl knows that she is wrong, so Mr. Lu should not be like the little girl, okay? My brother is still at home waiting for the little girl's reply, and if the gentleman refuses to forgive the little girl, then, that ......"
Lu Ren listened to Mi Zhen's words, and said in his heart, what are you? I don't believe that Mi Zhu will really do anything to you, don't make a deep resentful woman here, okay? However, going down the stairs at this time is the most important thing, but if Lu Ren knew that he couldn't respond too quickly and straightforwardly, he first locked his brows and "familiarized" Mi Zhen for a while, then turned his head sideways and shook his head, and finally let out a long sigh, and after making this gesture enough, Lu Ren sighed to Mi Zhen and said, "Miss Mi, it's a bit of a joke...... It can't be opened indiscriminately. ”
It should be said that Lu Ren's series of gestures are quite effective, at least at this moment, Mi Zhen's reaction in her heart is that Lu Ren clearly knows that the maid's matter is not a joke, but he can't stand his soft grinding, and he already has some intention of pretending to be stupid and compromise. Mi Zhen was not lazy, and immediately pretended to be an innocent and romantic little girl, and came to stroking her hands and laughing: "Great, Mr. Lu doesn't blame me!" At the eldest brother's place, I finally have an explanation. ”
Lu Ren was dumbfounded when he saw this, and said in his heart I don't seem to have said anything to forgive you, right? But whether it's true or not, looking at Mi Zhen, who is like a little girl in front of her, she really can't lose her temper. Thinking that the drama is almost done now, and if it continues to be performed, it may be smashed, so Lu Ren shook his head at Mi Zhen and sighed again: "That's it!" Miss Mi, I, Lu Ren, am afraid of you. ”
Mi Zhen didn't look back at the innocent and romantic little girl, and still stroked her palms and smiled: "That's it, let's ask Mr. Lu to go back to the courtyard to rest." After all, Mr. Lu is a guest of my Mi Mansion, and Mr. Lu must not be allowed to sleep here. ”
This is what Lu Ren wants, but he also knows that the end of the play can be put away, so Lu Ren frowned and hesitated: "Miss Mi will not ...... with me anymore That kind of joke, right? ”
Mi Zhen hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no!" The little woman didn't dare anymore. ”
Lu Ren sighed again, and made a "please" gesture and said, "Please lead the way in front of Miss Mi." In fact, Lu Ren is nothing, but Miss Mi is a weak female streamer, walking outside in the middle of the night, if there is any accident, it is Lu Ren's fault. ”
Mi Zhen knew that the matter was done, and there was a little smug in her heart, so she immediately beckoned to a little farther away, and beckoned the Mi Mansion family who was waiting there, and then naturally walked on the way back with Lu Ren. After walking a few steps, Mi Zhen saw Lu Ren with his hands behind his back and looking up at the sky, thinking that Lu Ren was still in a bad mood, so she tried to distract Lu Ren by chatting: "Mr. Lu, you just lay there playing music with your lips as a flute, this kind of skill has never been seen by a little woman." ”
Lu Ren was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Won't it?" Didn't there be whistle music in the Han Dynasty? Impossible! It makes sense that you say that not everyone can play music, but everyone should be able to play whistles! ”
Looking at Mi Zhen at this end again, she pursed her mouth, as if she wanted to learn Lu Ren to whistle, but unfortunately she only blew a few very leaky sounds, and it was a typical incomplete pentatonic sound.
Lu Ren smiled dumbly, and pointed out: "The lip flute (whistle, Lu Ren's own name that he made up temporarily) is not so difficult, don't purse your lips so tightly, take it back some...... Yes, yes, that's all. And don't exhale so hard, just breathe smoothly. As for the pitch of the pentatonic tone, you try to move the tip of your tongue up and down as you blow. ”
Mi Zhen tried for a while, and finally blew a few decent whistles. After a few more attempts, Mi Zhen turned her head to look at Lu Ren and said, "If you want to be as smooth as Mr. Lu, will it be difficult?" ”
Lu Ren thought about it, shook his head and said, "This is really hard to say. In fact, I didn't learn much about the art of lip flute at the beginning, but I was familiar with it when I was fine, and I feel inexplicable when I think about it now. Miss Mi, if you want to blow well, I don't think you have to practice too deliberately. When I think about it, I blow it a few times, and I don't know when I suddenly get the hang of it. ”
Mi Zhen raised her eyebrows and asked again, "Then, what kind of music did Mr. Lu play just now?" Although Mi Zhen is a woman, she is also coarse and fluent, and she is slightly familiar with the rhythm of music, and she can hear a faint sadness in the rhyme. Moreover, Mr. Lu only plays the lip flute, which seems to be incomplete, and there are many places that are very stiff. ”
may be because Lu Ren can mix into Mi Mansion to take refuge at this time, Lu Ren's mentality is a little relaxed at the moment, and some words are said casually: "Of course, many places in "Fairy Sword Love" are string music, and it is not easy to replace it with wind music, not to mention that I was just whistling just now. ”
Mi Zhen was immediately stunned: ""Fairy Sword Love"? Strings? Wind? Whistle? ”
Lu Ren woke up suddenly, knowing that he had said something that was not suitable for this era, and hurriedly remedied it under a brain teaser: "What immortal sword? I said 'string song', did you hear it wrong? ”
"String song intercession?"
Lu Ren nodded hurriedly. In fact, "Sword and Fairy Love" was originally an episode of "Sword and Fairy Three Stories", and it was not too eye-catching at the time. But later, in "Sword and Fairy IV", as the pinnacle of the plot of Qin Ji, it shined, and the chapter name of Qin Ji's section is called "String Song Love". And for fairy sword fans, it is not indispensable to use "string song love" as an alias for "fairy sword love".
Of course, these have nothing to do with Lu Ren at this moment, Lu Ren didn't dare to use the title of "Fairy Sword Intercession", mainly because he was afraid that as soon as the word "Fairy Sword" came out, people might mistakenly think that Lu Ren was a god like a Yellow Turban Sect disciple, which would kill people if it wasn't done well.
Fortunately, Mi Zhen didn't pay much attention to this, but asked curiously: "What is string music?" What is Wind Music? ”
Lu Ren secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and after thinking about it again, he explained: "Actually, to put it simply, this song "String Song Love" needs to be played by the piano and flute ensemble. The piano is played by strings, and the flute is played by pipes, so I sometimes call it string music and wind music. And the whistle is the lip flute. ”
Mi Zhen said "oh" to indicate that she understood, but immediately as if she remembered something, she chased after Lu Ren and said: "Yes, in the past, Cai Zhonglang's piano and flute skills were famous all over the world, and it is reasonable to compose such music." Now Mr. Lu said that this song "String Song Love" should be played by the ensemble of the piano and flute, so Mr. Lu, do you know how to play the piano? ”
Lu Renxin said how can I play the piano? And it's also a guqin! That's a shot in the foot! But it's okay to shirk this matter casually:" Miss Mi said with a smile. I learned my flute skills by reluctantly, and occasionally I have to play leisurely, and I can borrow the shepherd boy's flute to practice, but this flute is ...... I'm a handyman, where do you want me to borrow the piano to practice? ”
And after thinking about it again, Lu Ren still felt that he should tell a little truth: "And Miss Mi, this song "String Song Asking for Love" was not composed by Cai Zhonglang, but I learned it from an infatuated woman when I was wandering around. ”
Why does Lu Ren say here that "Sword and Fairy Love" was not created by Cai Yong? In fact, Lu Ren is also afraid of what happens. In Lu Ren's subjective consciousness, the taste of love in the rhyme of "Fairy Sword Love" is too strong, and in terms of music style, it really doesn't look like something that a Confucian scribe like Cai Yong would compose. If it's just fooling ordinary people, but if you really run into a master who is well versed in music and rhythm, won't Lu Ren's diorama be pierced on the spot? So in some things, it's better to tell the truth, hasn't a certain celebrity ever said that a truly successful lie is a lie with some truth?
However, Mi Zhen was a little disappointed: "It's not a music ...... created by Cai Zhonglang"
Lu Ren secretly raised the middle finger to Mi Zhen in his heart. Because Lu Ren knew that Mi Zhen would have this disappointment, it must be something that was not left behind by Cai Yong, and it might not be of much help to earn fame. To put it simply, Mi Zhen's utilitarian heart is a bit heavy.
But at this moment, Mi Zhen suddenly laughed a few times, and then said very fascinatedly: "Although the song "String Song Asking for Love" was not composed by Cai Zhonglang, it is also a rare masterpiece, and it is also a beautiful thing if it can be circulated. There is no problem with the flute music, Mr. Lu, you are naturally fine, and it is this qin music...... Cai Zhonglang has already died, and he doesn't dare to be abrupt. But what would it be like if Mr. Lu's flute and Cai Zhaoji's piano were to play this piece together? Maybe it will make people listen to it as if they were fascinated. ”
"......" Lu Ren was speechless, and said in his heart, you really dare to think about it! It's not enough to get involved, but you still want to bring Cai Yan up to help your Mi family earn fame? And as soon as Lu Ren thought of this, he really couldn't bear to pour cold water on Mi Zhen: "Miss Mi, don't be delusional." Zhao Ji is far away in Chang'an, thousands of miles away from Xuzhou, and there are many thieves on the road, how can she take it? ”
Mi Zhen was stunned again, and then opened her eyes wide and asked Lu Ren, "Mr. Lu, where have you been in the past few years?" How can you say that Cai Zhaoji is in Chang'an? ”
Lu Ren was also stunned and hesitated: "Zhaoji...... Not in Chang'an? But didn't Cai Zhonglang die in Chang'an? ”
Mi Zhen looked at Lu Ren, shook her head and said, "Mr. Lu, you may have made a mistake." Although Cai Zhonglang was forcibly recruited into Beijing by the traitor Dong Zhuo, Cai Zhonglang knew that a brutal person like Dong Zhuo would inevitably cause chaos to the country, and the heroes of the world would inevitably be angry with him. Therefore, in order to avoid disaster to his family, Cai Zhonglang entered Beijing alone and did not bring any family members. ”
Changing his tone, Mi Zhen continued: "And it coincides with the fact that Zhao Ji has reached the year of marriage, and he has a marriage contract with the Hanoi Wei family, so before entering Beijing, Cai Zhonglang hurriedly sent Zhao Ji to Hanoi to marry. Later, Wei Zhongdao died of illness, Zhao Ji and the Wei family were not in harmony, and in a fit of anger, he went to Luoyang to return to his father's side, but after being reprimanded by Cai Zhonglang, he was sent back to Chen Liu's former residence. Later, Luoyang was burned down by Dong Zhuo, and the road between Chen Liu and Chang'an was cut off, and Cai Zhaoji was never able to return to Cai Zhonglang's side, and she still lives in Chen Liu's former residence today. ”
Lu Ren was a little dazed after hearing this, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses, and he secretly said in his heart: "So that's the case? Another inference about Cai Yan's life history in the historical materials is correct......"
