Chapter 85: More Powerful Players

"Miss is talking about the law of twelve."

"The Law of Twelve? What is that? Peaceful, clear, seer, beneficial, pure...... Isn't there any mention of this law? Big brother, have you heard of it? Ling'er frowned and counted out a series of rhythms, all of which were traditional Chinese musical terms that Xie Hong had never heard before.

"Nope." Maang shook his head like a drum.

Frightened, wasn't the law of twelve equals invented by a certain prince in the Ming Dynasty? Xie Hong was a little confused, could it be that the prince hadn't been invented or was not born yet? It's best not to cause this inexplicable butterfly effect Wow, brother only remembers a rough idea of this theory, and if you want to get a complete theory, it can only be the work of professionals, brother, forget it.

"Can Gongzi Xie explain Ling'er's doubts?"

Being photographed by Ling'er's pair of autumn pupils, Xie Hong felt that he was under a lot of pressure, this beauty was not easy to deal with, when it came to music and rhythm, if she was not careful, she would show flaws and then be caught with sore feet. He searched his stomach, and finally organized his words, he was sweating profusely, and he knew that he would not be a hard expert, and men really couldn't care too much about face.

"Miss Ma, what about the tone, I call it an octave, yes, because there are eight scales in every tone. The piano instrument can play a total of seven octaves, and each octave can be divided into twelve semitones equally, so this theory is called twelve equal temperaments, do you understand? ”

Hearing this, Ling'er lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head and said, "These twelve equal laws really make sense, especially when used on the piano. It's just ......" A trace of doubt flashed in her beautiful eyes, "Since Gongzi Xie can summarize such a theory and make an instrument like a piano, why can't he distinguish the syllables?" It's weird. ”

Hearing his sister say this, Ma Ang also nodded in agreement, saying that it was strange, Ma Wentao wanted to help Xie Hong's tone, but he really didn't know anything about music, and he couldn't talk if he wanted to.

"Hehe......" Xie Hong's old face turned red, laughed twice, and hurriedly changed the topic, saying: "I also see these things from ancient books, but I don't really understand them. Since Miss Ma can distinguish the scales, why don't I ask Miss to help me adjust the scales of the piano? ”

"Can you still adjust?" Ling'er was slightly startled, she saw that the piano was integrated, and she thought that it had been finalized and could not be changed, so she regretted it. But I never thought that I could still adjust it, this Xie Gongzi is really incomprehensible.

"Of course." Xie Hong felt that this was a matter of course, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the appearance of this piano at all, compared to the strict fit of the piano in later generations, the one in front of him was still far behind. From Xie Hong's critical eyes, this one can only be regarded as a shoddy emergency product, but there is no way, who told my brother to hurry?

When it comes to music, Xie Hong is not good at it, but when it comes to craftsmanship, it's completely different. Ling'er looked at the pair of hands in surprise, slender and fair, with extraordinary agility, flying up and down, and in an instant, the back plate of the piano was disassembled, revealing the intricate structure inside.

"Wow! There's so much stuff in there. Everyone was amazed.

"yes, otherwise how could there be so many sounds." Xie Hong pointed out one by one and introduced to everyone: "These are the strings, and then those are the hammers, the hammers can make a sound when they are knocked on the strings, and the hammers are connected to the keys through the gall......"

The structure is very complicated, but it is easy to introduce, but looking at the internal structure of the piano, everyone feels dazzled, and they can't remember Xie Hong's introduction at all. Only Ling'er's eyes were very flexible, and with Xie Hong's guidance, she kept the parts and principles in mind.

“…… That's about it, Miss Ma, let's get started, shall we? ”

Ling'er nodded, walked to the piano, put her hand on the key, stroked lightly, and then pressed and held down a key, and said, "Gongzi Xie, this pitch is high, please lower it......"

Xie Hong's hand was very fast, and his voice came out in just a moment: "How is it now?" ”

"It's a little higher...... Ling'er pressed the keys again, and then replied without thinking.

"How?"

"High ......"

"How?"

"Low ......"

……

One is fast, the other is fast, the two seem to be competing for speed, with the sound of music, the tuning work is progressing extremely quickly.

"That's it." With Ling'er's last affirmation, the tuning work was finally completed. Xie Hong found it unbelievable that he could adjust more than 100 chromatic tones of a piano with just his ears...... It's amazing that I've found a musical genius.

If such a genius is in the future for a year and a half, I am afraid that all kinds of music awards will be rounded, the Chinese civilization is really broad and profound, and even a border town can find such musical talents.

Xie Hong stood up, only then did he feel that his legs and hands were a little sore, and when he looked around, he found that only two girls, Qing'er and Ling'er, were left in the house, and the three men couldn't bear the surname and had already left.

"Miss Ma, it's really hard work."

"Gongzi Xie, since you have created a musical instrument such as a piano, do you have a way to play it?" Ling'er was not polite to him, nor did she seem to be tired, but asked how to play the piano.

Sure enough, he is a music enthusiast, Xie Hong muttered in his heart, he has been tuning for so long, and he is not tired.

"I know a little bit about how to play, it's recorded in ancient books, hehe." Xie Hong touched the back of his head, and replied with a smile, he is very skillful, although he has no musical talent, he can still play a few simple songs, anyway, he just memorizes the order of the buttons, and then presses them one by one.

"Brother Hong is the most powerful, and Qing'er wants to hear it too." Qing'er's simplicity made Xie Hong very stressed, okay, brother cheered up and played a good song. Originally, he planned to play a simple tune like farewell, but he was inspired by Qing'er, and Xie Hong decided to come to a difficult one.

As his hands fell, a light, exotic melody echoed through the room. "Walking in the Rain" is a piece that Xie Hong liked very much in his later life, and the melody is not too complicated, this is the highest level of music he can play.

In his busy schedule, Xie Hong still had time to look at the expressions of the two listeners, only to see Ling'er's beautiful eyes half-closed, her hands crossed, and her fingers still beating lightly, obviously very intoxicated; Needless to say, Qing'er has a pair of beautiful big eyes staring at her hands for a moment, which is very cute.

Xie Hong was a little complacent, maybe his brother also had a musical talent, but he used to focus too much on his craft, so this talent didn't appear, now, hehe. At the end of the song, Xie Hong raised his head slightly, waiting for the praise of the two girls, and the praise of the beauties was not too much anyway.

"Great tune, light and elegant, like walking in the drizzle, the scenery is full, the tune is really good......" Ling'er really admired, but Xie Hong listened a little strange, how to just talk about the tune, how to ignore the brother.

As if hearing his heart, Ling'er changed her words, frowned and sighed: "It's a pity, Gongzi Xie, your playing skills are so bad, you simply use a musical instrument as a tool, a good song was played by you beyond recognition, Ling'er seemed to hear the piano crying." ”

…… Embarrassment, Xie Hong almost vomited blood, no matter how bad my brother is, you have to save some face for my brother, how can you criticize it so badly, my brother is also the maker of the piano, that is, the piano is its father, and my father plays it twice, does it dare to cry?

"Brother Hong, is it okay to let Qing'er play it once?" Wave after wave, Qing'er hit Xie Hong again, for a long time, the little girl just stared at her hand is learning to play the piano, brother thought ......, okay, Qing'er's request Xie Hong couldn't refuse, so he stood up and gave up his position.

The little girl played very seriously, and in the fluttering of her little hands, even a music layman like Xie Hong could hear the difference, it was indeed much better. Xie Hong touched his chin and smiled, my family Qing'er is really a musical genius, and after watching it once, she will be blue. Well, the apprentice is a high apprentice, but the master seems to be a little secret, so ashamed.

"Brother Hong, how is Qing'er playing?" After playing the song, the little girl looked at Xie Hong expectantly.

"Very good, very good, Qing'er is really smart." Xie Hong nodded again and again.

"Qing'er is really smart, but there are a few things that are not quite right...... Ling'er walked over, sat in the position where Qing'er had just been, and with a slight hand, the melody played again.

Immediately, Xie Hong was stunned, the song he was playing now was almost the same as the musician he remembered in his previous life, it was impossible, he already knew that Ling'er was a musical genius, but he didn't expect it to be such a genius. Obviously, she only watched it twice, and even corrected the mistakes she played.

Now that he found the treasure, he immediately became happy, with the help of the piano, and then there was such a master to play, haha, his plan was perfect, and his kindness was really rewarded.

"Gongzi Xie, what is this board underneath for?" Xie Hong was only thinking about his thoughts, and he didn't realize for a moment that Ling'er had finished playing a song. The pedal is under the seat, and you can't see it if you don't sit down, Ling'er observed very carefully and noticed this thing.

"Well, this is called a pedal, or it can be called a damper board...... Xie Hong explained: "After the key is pressed, the strings will continue to sound, and then press the pedal, and the sound will stop, you see, ......" he said as he demonstrated.

"I see, it's wonderful." Ling'er nodded thoughtfully. "This way you can quickly change the tune, this idea is really ingenious, Childe doesn't understand the rhythm, but he can think of this section, it's really extraordinary......"

This time he was praised, but Xie Hong was still very embarrassed, this was not what he conceived. The piano of later generations had three pedals, but he couldn't remember the functions of the other two pedals, so he could only make the ones that he could remember. After two vague sentences, Xie Hong changed the topic again and said:

"Miss Ma is really proficient in music and rhythm, and her talent is extraordinary, in my opinion, such attainments should be second to none even in the capital, Miss is really humble before, almost made this son mistaken, hehe." Xie Hong was in a good mood at this time, he was also worried about the problem of having musical instruments and no people, but now, naturally his troubles are gone.

"Humility? Xie Gongzi, what do you mean ......" Ling'er was puzzled.

"Didn't Brother Ma say that Miss is a little worse than Yang Rebel in Tianxiang Building, isn't this just self-humility." Xie Hong said with a smile.

"It's almost my brother boasting." Ling'er shook her head slowly and said, "Although Ling'er has the true inheritance of her mother, she doesn't dare to be arrogant, but compared to that Yang rebel, Ling'er is not half a star worse. If Ling'er is the star in the sky, then Yang Rebel is the bright moon in the sky. ”

Yes? Xie Hong was taken aback, and he couldn't believe it for a while, but looking at Ling'er's solemn eyes, it didn't look like he was joking, was it true?

"If Gongzi wants to use music to open up a world in Xuanfu, Tianxianglou and Yang Rebel will definitely be our fierce rivals." Ling'er's words were like a heavy hammer, knocking on Xie Hong's heart, but fortunately, Ling'er changed her words and said firmly: "However, with the help of the piano, Ling'er still has the confidence to compete with that Yang rebel again." ”

Shhhhh

That's it, don't we have a piano, this is a sharp weapon, and it will definitely help my brother realize his plan.
