After the imperial guard walked out of the private room, Lu Chengqi's ears suddenly heard a guqin sound. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Chengqi was a little puzzled, how could there be a good place to eat and come to play the piano? But think about it, didn't all the Western restaurants in later generations have a pianist to play the piano? It turns out that the ancient restaurant also engaged in some side hustles to attract customers! It's just that there is no piano, only the guqin.

I just don't know who the person who plays the piano is, but the sound of the piano is together, and the noise just now has stopped. Even Zhang Zai and Wang Anshi heard the sound of the piano, and they all put down their chopsticks, closed their eyes, and appreciated it.

Listening to the rather soothing tune, Lu Chengqi was a little curious, and said in his heart: "Could it be that my aesthetics are incompatible with these ancients?" Looking at the two great Confucians who were immersed in the world of music, Lu Chengqi really doubted his views on music.

It is undeniable that the sound of the piano is really quiet. Even if it is a guzheng master in later generations, it may not be able to play this charm. Well, in Lu Chengqi's cognition, this guqin and guzheng are the same musical instrument.

At this time, the guqin was called "qin", also known as "yaoqin", "yuqin", "silk tong", and "seven-stringed qin". The lyre, as the name suggests, has only seven strings. Its timbre is deep, the range is wide, and the aftersound is long, and it is a gentleman's musical instrument since ancient times. The qin is the most noble musical instrument in the Central Plains culture, and there are sayings that "the scholar does not withdraw the qin without reason" and "the left qin and the right book". Ranked first among the four arts of traditional Chinese culture, "qin, chess, calligraphy and painting", it was regarded by the literati as a representative of elegance and an accompaniment instrument when the literati sang, and has been a necessary knowledge and compulsory subject for many literati since ancient times.

What needs to be known is that since ancient times, "qin" refers to the guqin, and it was only renamed the guqin when it was distinguished from the piano in later generations. The guqin was originally a five-string, and since the Han Dynasty, it has been customized as a seven-string, hence the name seven-stringed.

The word "qinse" encompasses two musical instruments. In addition to the qin, there is also an ancient musical instrument, the se, which is also like the qin, but the strings of the seer are as many as fifty, so it is also called "fifty strings". The great poet Li Shangyin in the history has a poem, Jin Se has fifty strings for no reason, one string and one pillar Si Hua Nian, which is Se. There must be a column for each string, so it is a string and a column.

As for the guzheng, it was a musical instrument that became popular during the Warring States period, the earliest zheng, which was five strings, developed into a twelve-string at the end of the Warring States period, and in the previous dynasty, there began to be a thirteen-string zheng.

These three instruments are very similar in shape, and if you don't distinguish them from the strings, most people don't know what kind of instrument they play. Of course, great Confucians like Zhang Zai and Wang Anshi, after hearing the sound of the piano for a long time, knew that it was the sound of the guqin.

When the sound of the piano gradually fell, Lu Chengqi was still entangled in his musical aesthetic ability, but he didn't listen to the content of the piano at all.

At this time, Wang Anshi was the first to open his eyes, stroked his palms and sighed: "Such a fresh sound can only be played by a woman in the boudoir." If it were me, I wouldn't be able to snap it off. ”

Zhang Zai was disturbed by his voice, and he also woke up from his intoxication, glanced at Wang Anshi, and said: "Jiefu is violent and destroys the heavens, and the aftermath of this song lingers, but you have all disturbed it......"

Wang Anshi arched his hand and smiled: "I didn't expect Brother Zihou to love this sound so much, but it's not mine, and I apologized to Brother Zihou." ”

Zhang Zai waved his hand and said: "Brother Jiefu is serious, I just sigh, this woman must be a strange woman, otherwise, what is the purpose of the lonely meaning revealed in the sound of the piano?" ”

Lu Chengqi listened to their comments, but he couldn't hear a reason, and couldn't help asking, "Is it really that good?" ”

As a result, as soon as this sentence came out, Lu Chengqi was despised by these two great Confucians, although they didn't say it. But the disdainful eyes looked at the "innocent" Lu Chengqi, which made Lu Chengqi feel that the bottom of his little white had been completely revealed.

Fortunately, Zhang Zai's feelings are a little more sophisticated, and he resolved the embarrassment for Lu Chengqi in time: "Ahem, it is reasonable for the son to study poetry and classics, and he doesn't understand music theory." Childe, this song is a phoenix, presumably Childe can hear the deep meaning, right? ”

"Phoenix seeking a phoenix?" Lu Chengqi is a little impressed, this song seems to have an allusion.

"That's right, according to legend, it was made by Sima Xiangru in the Western Han Dynasty for Zhuo Wenjun, the phoenix returned to his hometown, traveled all over the world to seek his phoenix, and did not meet Xi without any will, how to realize the promotion of Sitang! There are beautiful ladies in the boudoir, and the room is poisonous to my intestines. What is the fate of the neck for the mandarin ducks, and the beards and cheeks soar together! Huang Xi Huang Xi from my habitat, have to entrust [Wei Yong is the concubine. Friendship and harmony, who knows each other in the middle and night? The wings are flying high, and I don't feel it, I think about it, and I ...... sad to be" After Wang Anshi finished speaking, he sighed, I don't know whether he was sighing for Sima Xiangru or sighing for the person playing the piano downstairs.

Lu Chengqi heard the meaning of the word, and he understood most of it, but he still asked puzzledly: "Then why do you say that this song is played by a woman?" ”

Wang Anshi didn't know how to say it, this was what he heard from the sound of the piano, and he couldn't tell the little emperor that he was this person's bosom friend, and when he heard it, he knew that it was played by a woman, right? So, I didn't know how to answer for a while. Fortunately, at this time, the imperial guard was able to turn around, and said to Lu Chengqi breathlessly: "The son forgives the sin, and the subordinate is late." The noise downstairs is all because today's Huayue Lou is exquisite, and he was invited by the shopkeeper of Hefeng Building to come to play a song. This jade is exquisitely famous, and there is an endless stream of guests who come to hear the news. As soon as the jade lingers and leaves, the subordinates can squeeze through the crowd and turn around......"

When Lu Chengqi heard this, he finally understood a thing or two, and couldn't help but feel a little curious about the jade Linglong, and said in his heart: "This woman is really so beautiful, and she has attracted so many people to come and see?" Huayue Building, listen to the name to know that it is Qinglou. The woman in the Qinglou is not just a JI girl, even if she is famous, she is just a JI girl......"

Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi changed the topic and said: "Jiefu's music appreciation skills are unparalleled in the world, but my son can't understand it, it's like playing the piano to a cow, it's a pity, it's a pity...... Hurry up and eat, my son still needs to rush to Royal Roads University today......"

Zhang Zai sighed: "If you have to hear this sound of the piano every day, even if you don't eat meat again in this life, what will happen? ”

Lu Chengqi knew that they were literati, and he was very emotional when he heard others play the piano well. It's just that it's hard to empathize, and I'm a little impatient with their words, and I slandered in my heart: "Good wine and good food can't compare to a guqin, these literati's literary and youth diseases are really serious......"

He urged: "Eat quickly, eat quickly, otherwise this son will leave you to settle the bill......"

Hearing this, Zhang Zai and Wang Anshi shook their heads with a wry smile, it was really a summer worm that couldn't be icy, and in desperation, they had to pick up the chopsticks again, but they had no taste for it...... (To be continued.) )
