Chapter Seventy-One: The Wind is Sluggish and the Water is Cold (1)

I overslept yesterday, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry......

This is the first update of the day, please check it out.

――――――――――――

When he saw Xu Gong for the first time, Liu Kan didn't have too many feelings.

It's a bit raunchy and even looks a little scruffy. But when I saw Xu Gong again, he had a different appearance.

Three days passed in a flash!

Gao Lao Camel ...... No, it was Gao Yanli who appeared once that night, but he didn't come to deliver any Yan wine, but quit his job to the owner of Yishui Building. The host looked very surprised, and even a little sad. After all, Gao Yuanli has been in Yishui Tower for seven or eight years, although he looks a little annoying, but if you think about it carefully, it has not been easy for him these years.

The dirty work is all done by Gao gradually leaving.

Sometimes I hit him twice and scolded him twice, but I didn't care about it with a smile.

Now that he is suddenly leaving, the host is really a little reluctant. However, Gao gradually left the iron heart to leave, and he couldn't persuade him.

Liu Kan was when he went out, and Gao gradually passed by.

At that moment, his gaze was no longer cloudy, but a little more determined.

So, Liu Kan smiled at Gao Yuanli, but Gao Yuanli turned a blind eye. Like a stranger, and walk away.

Maybe I listened to my own advice!

Liu Kan sighed in his heart: Let's go, it is actually a pretty good choice to spend the rest of your life in peace.

In the Yishui Building, the drums are playing in unison.

Xu Gong was dressed in a brand-new official uniform and greeted the guests with a smile.

When he saw Liu Kan and Guan Ying coming, Xu Gong's triangular eyes narrowed into a slit, and his face smiled even more, as if a flower was blooming.

"Liu Sheng, please come in!"

Liu Kan arched his hand and said: "Duke Xu's birthday, the boy didn't know earlier, so he couldn't prepare early. hurriedly prepared some gifts, and asked Xu Gong not to dislike it. ”

As he spoke, the baby was asked to follow Kui Che and present the gift list.

"Duling Bacchus, Peixian Liu Sheng...... Congratulatory gifts! Ten pots of Surabaya sinking cellar, two gold and two eridium! ”

The originally noisy restaurant suddenly became quiet. On Xu Gong's face, the smile was even brighter, and Liu Kan's eyes were a little wrong. Not to mention what kind of status Liu Kan's name as the god of wine in Duling has among the merchants, ten jars of cellars, two gold and two yi, it can be said that this birthday banquet has been the heaviest gift from the beginning to the present, how can Xu Gong not be happy?

It's not just about having fun, it's about feeling face.

Liu Kan: Who is that? Although Bai Ding is one, he is burdened with the identity of the royal wine master, which is not comparable to ordinary people.

"Little Brother Liu, you're polite, you're so polite!"

Xu Gong said again and again: "How can I bear such a heavy gift?" ”

"The adult is an official for one term, benefiting the neighbors, and it is really an example for hundreds of officials under the rule of my Great Qin. Be careful, adults don't want to push back. ”

What he said made Liu Kan feel very disgusting.

But I have to say, and I have to have a smile on my face. For a while, the sycophants of the people around him suddenly rose, which made Xu Gong really vain. The opinion of Liu Kan is a higher level. So he walked into the hall hand in hand with Liu Kan and arranged them in the main seat.

There were a few businessmen around, so they naturally nodded their heads.

Liu Kan pulled the baby and sat down after the table, "Brother Guan, bear with it." The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, don't be angry with this kind of person. And if he is proud for a while, he will be punished in the day...... There is a saying that people are doing it, and the sky is watching. ”

Originally, the baby was not intended to come to this kind of occasion.

But people under the eaves can't help but bow their heads. Since he bowed his head, he didn't want to let others pick on him, so he followed Liu Kan.

Listening to Liu Kan's persuasion, Guan Ying couldn't help laughing.

"Still an old bird greedy for money."

Liu Kan almost squirted out a mouthful of wine, turned his head to look at the baby, "Sven, Sven!" ”

Guan Ying also smiled, looking unfathomable at the moment, drinking wine and talking, but he couldn't see the unhappiness in his heart.

Near noon, the banquet began.

On this day, Yishuilou was not open to the public, the guests were staggered, and the dishes were served up and down like flowing water, showing that Xu Gong was in this Song Dynasty, the unshakable position of the head snake on the ground. A group of fake entertainments also made the atmosphere much more lively.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

The owner of Yishui Building arranged a program to help the fun: Hit the building.

Zhu [Note] is a percussion instrument, the shape of which is somewhat similar to that of later generations of guzheng. There are thirteen strings, and there are columns under the strings. When playing, press one end of the string with your left hand and hold a special bamboo ruler with your right hand to strike the strings. This was the most popular musical instrument in the pre-Qin era, even more popular than the guqin. Originated in Chudi, its voice is sad and agitated, and it is widely spread among the people.

Hammering is a fashion.

At the time of the banquet, if there was no such program, the specifications of the banquet would be much more vulgar.

Liu Kan had only heard of it in his previous life, but he had never seen it. I couldn't help but get interested, and I waited for the show to appear with great interest.

A short time later, a young woman walked up to the hall with a piece of building in her arms.

Bow to the crowd and sit down. Holding the string with one hand, and holding a bamboo ruler with the other, you are ready.

In an instant, the noisy hall was silent.

It's a courtesy. Although the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for 500 years have caused the collapse of etiquette and music, and the elegance of the song has disappeared, this ceremony has always remained in people's hearts. Music is an extremely elegant thing, if it is rude, you will not be able to taste the essence of it.

Even Xu Gong was sitting in danger.

Zheng――

The bamboo ruler struck lightly on the string, and the woman's slender jade hand changed and moved like a butterfly.

Impassioned music flowed from the ruler, on the strings, and from the hands. That feeling is enough to make people's hearts surge.

All of them were afraid to be born, and even when they walked, they slowed down.

Xu Gong's face gradually became difficult to look at......

Liu Kan doesn't have many musical cells, but he just thinks that this song is impassioned and tragic, making people feel that their blood is burning. But other than that, I didn't feel much more. There is even a very weird feeling that such a song, coming out of a woman's hand, is nondescript.

"What's this tune?"

The expressions of the people in Liu Kan's hall were a little strange.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Kuai Che hurriedly leaned over and whispered in Liu Kan's ear: "Master, this is the famous Yi Shui farewell." ”

Easy water farewell?

Liu Kan didn't react.

Kuaccher's voice was small and didn't attract anyone's attention.

He sat behind Liu Kan, so he lowered his voice and explained: "It's the Yi Shui who sang when Jing Ke parted from Yishui." ”

The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return......

Liu Kan suddenly felt a chill rise, turned his head to look at Kui Che, and the meaning was clearly asking: Isn't this song banned?

That's right!

Jing Ke stabbed Qin, everyone in the world knows.

And the farewell of Yishui is also famous in the world because of Jing Ke. The popularity of Chengdu is not limited to construction. Some people even changed it to a large piece of music with eight notes such as qin, sheng, drum, and bell. Where there is well water, you can hear people humming this song.

If you don't know how to play this piece in the Church Bandroom, you are considered a layman.

Although the First Emperor ordered a ban, in fact, except in Qindi, where the Six Kingdoms of Shandong are located, they are basically not pursued. The so-called forbidden ones are self-prohibited, and those who play and sing still play and sing. Far from being silent, this song became more and more popular the more it was banned.

Xu Gong's face was very ugly, but he couldn't help it.

It's fashion, it's trend......

The so-called law does not blame the public, and people all over the world are singing, could it be that you can kill everyone in the world? It's just that as an old Qin official, Xu Gong is always uncomfortable in his heart. His face was a little gloomy, his brows frowned slightly, and he snorted softly.

After the music was finished, everyone applauded and praised in unison.

The woman thanked the building, and was about to leave, but saw a middle-aged man, suddenly stood up from the hall, and said in a deep voice: "The sound is also affectionate, although your technique of building is exquisite, but you have failed to grasp the essence of it, but it is a waste of this song." ”

The man was eight feet tall and had a slender and slightly thin build.

The head is wrapped in red and blue, and a series of green shirts set off the outstanding temperament.

He walked to the hall and said to the woman sharply: "If there is no pride in the heart of generosity and sorrow, if there is no righteousness, although the heart of thousands of people is willing to go to it, no matter how exquisite your technique is, after all, it is inferior, and you can only play one or two of the essences." ”

That woman is the first-class builder in Song Zicheng.

Since learning this song to say goodbye, I have never been so accused, and for a while, my pretty face turned red.

"Who are you?"

The owner of Yishui Building stood up and shouted: "This is Duke Xu's birthday banquet, you dare to be so presumptuous, do you want to die?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled calmly and took the building from the woman's hand.

Kneeling down and putting the building in front of him, "It is precisely because of Xu Gong's birthday banquet that I want to sacrifice ugliness in the next, thinking that Xu Gong is celebrating his birthday, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

――――――――――――

Note: Zhu, lost since the Song Dynasty. For thousands of years, only records have been seen, but there have been no physical objects. However, in 1993, archaeologists found the real thing in the tomb of Yuyang, the queen of the Western Han Dynasty in Changsha Hexi, which was called the second major appearance of musical instrument archaeology in the more than 40 years since the founding of New China at that time.

The academic community has also become this Yuyang building, which is the first in the world.
