Chapter 5: Sisters
Cai Wenji said to Liu Yuan: "I didn't expect that Gongzi would be so wide-ranging. I also like music and want to have a conversation with Childe. Cai Wenji was very happy at this time, you must know that communication in ancient times was very inconvenient, and it was not easy to get a confidant. Therefore, the story of Zhong Ziqi and Yu Boya being each other's confidants can be widely sought.
You must know that music, as one of the six arts, is recognized as a noble category of Confucianism, along with etiquette, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics. Unlike the vulgar music of the brothel, there are very few people who can do it with high music.
Cai Wenji is the kind of person who pays attention to learning anytime and anywhere, otherwise she would not have such a deep attainment in literature and music. was exiled to the Xiongnu, and he was able to study Hu Le, so as to create "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats", what kind of learning spirit is this?
After a while, the maid took the piano. Cai Wenji said: "This is my qin, please ask my son, what is the difference between the qin in your hometown and this?" ”
Liu Yuan briefly introduced the structure of the piano, and Cai Wenji was fascinated by it. When she heard that the piano was divided into black and white keys, and there was a half-note between the black and white keys, Cai Wenji's eyes were full of brilliance; When she heard some complex structures, Cai Wenji frowned.
After Liu Yuan finished speaking, Cai Wenji sighed: "I didn't expect that I was conceited and proficient in music, but I was indeed arrogant." There is still such a music town in the world, and I must see how to make such exquisite instruments. ”
Liu Yuanxin said, don't say you want to go, I still want to go back. If you don't let the chairman do it, you will come over and be a subordinate, and you will be full of food. If there is a way, I will bring you back. I don't have a daughter-in-law yet, so it's a good idea to marry a talented woman as a daughter-in-law.
"My hometown is far away from here, if I really have a chance in the future, I will definitely take Miss to see it." Liu Yuan replied.
"How far is it, is it as far as from here to the capital?" Cai Wenji was curious.
Liu Yuan knew that the capital that Cai Wenji was talking about meant Luoyang. Not to mention Luoyang, even if it is Xinjiang, Rotterdam, Buenos Aires, I have worked hard in my life, and I may not be able to go. But if you want to go home, there is little hope. Liu Yuan suddenly felt a little sad and failed to reply in time.
Cai Wenji thought about the change in Liu Yuan's expression, and knew that he had something on his mind, so she didn't say anything more understandingly.
Liu Yuan came back to his senses from his thoughts and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, my hometown was attacked by thieves, and people scattered to avoid the disaster, and now there is no one left." ”
Cai Wenji said: "I'm really sorry, I don't know the situation, is there any famous song circulating in that son's hometown?" What a pity that music in such a musical land is lost! What score does Childe remember? ”
Liu Yuanxin said that I can only use staves, but I can't do your notation. So he replied, "The music score in our hometown may not be the same as here." Well, I'll try to hum a song, and Miss will judge it. ”
"That's great, Childe please." Cai Wenji's face was full of joy.
So Liu Yuan hummed a Liang Zhu. The story of Liang Zhu is ancient, but the music is a violin piece composed by modern people.
Liu Yuan can also play the piano, and he can remember a lot of piano scores, so he won't be out of tune. The moment the song started, Cai Wenji was attracted. At first, I listened to it with a critical attitude, but later I completely penetrated into the artistic conception of the song. After the song, Cai Wenji sat silently. After a long time, she said in a slightly trembling voice: "Who wrote this song?" ”
"This is made by an unknown farmer in my hometown, but the song is very popular and popular, and it is a famous song in our hometown." Liu Yuan replied truthfully.
"It's incredible, I have a lot of land and resources, and I can produce many people. A person who doesn't make a statement is so talented, I can't wait to get acquainted! Cai Wenji sighed.
As she spoke, Cai Wenji stroked the piano with both hands, flicked with her smooth and slender fingertips, and an adapted Liang Zhu flowed out from her fingertips and from the strings, the artistic conception remained unchanged at all, and even Cai Wenji's own understanding of the song was added in some places. After all, the guqin is different from the piano, lacking "law" and "rare", and it is impossible to play exactly the same song.
Liu Yuan finally realized how talented the girl he got along with was, and he was shocked. Listen to it once and you can directly adapt the music!
"This song has a beautiful tune and a long artistic conception, giving people a lingering and sympathetic feeling, I wonder if there is a love story in it?" After talking about this song, Cai Wenji asked.
So Liu Yuan told Cai Wenji the story of Liang Zhu. After the story was told, Cai Wenji burst into tears, she was so stupid that her clothes and skirt were wet.
After a long time, Cai Wenji's slightly choked voice sounded: "Childe's story is tear-jerking, and the little woman is out of shape." Childe has a wide range of knowledge, and he can't get to know it. Today, the little girl has benefited a lot. ”
"I don't dare to ask for advice, in fact, I don't read much, such as the art of war. I would be very fortunate to have the advice of the lady. Liu Yuan definitely doesn't believe that his knowledge can be above that of talented women, at most he just has a specialization in the art industry. For example, his business knowledge is definitely stronger than Cai Wenji, and the knowledge of later generations is much wider than now, but if he really wants to study and talk about music, he can't catch up with Cai Wenji, and he can't catch up with him in his life.
"That's great, we can communicate with each other. But I don't know much about the art of war, so let's learn from each other. "Cai Wenji is very excited.
After chatting for a while, the two said goodbye. Cai Wenji left with the maid, and even forgot the original purpose of coming to the library to get the book. It is true that the shock received today is too great, and Cai Wenji has never been so out of shape in her life. Who would have thought that a beggar who was inadvertently rescued turned out to be a strange person.
Such a person has become a beggar! I must provide him with conditions, and I must not let his talents be buried. After returning to her house, Cai Wenji's mind was full of magical Liu Yuan, magical songs and magical piano.
If Liu Yuan knew Cai Wenji's thoughts at this time, he would complain in addition to thanking. Do you think I want to be a beggar? If it weren't for the crossing, no matter how bad Lao Tzu was, he wouldn't be a beggar.
The next day, Cai Wenji actually dragged a five or six-year-old girl to the library. The girl had big eyes, long eyelashes, and was chubby. "Who is this girl, so cute!" Liu Yuan praised from the bottom of his heart. An adjective jumped out of his heart: "cute".
"This is my sister Cai Jin, my own sister." Cai Wenji replied.
"Cai Yan, Cai Jin, they are all treasures of the Cai family, and Scholar Cai is really blessed. Liu Yuan said, gently pinched Cai Jin's face, and said to her, "Why do you look so cute?" ”
"How normal! My sister is also lovely, our family is lovely, only my dad is old and ugly. Cai Jin replied as a matter of course.
Liu Yuan listened to Zhile, and said in his heart that it was really a child's words. Cai Wenji also smiled forward and backwards. Liu Yuan continued to ask Cai Jin, "Then what are you doing here, do you want to borrow books to read?" ”
"What's so good about books? I wanted to see if you had three heads and six arms that would make my sister feel like she lost her soul last night. What are your talents, now let me see! ”
As soon as this sentence came out, before Liu Yuan could say anything, Cai Wenji made a big red face first. In fact, Cai Wenji was really shocked the day before, but mainly in music. After all, Liu Yuan's music is music that has been developed for nearly 2,000 years, and it is music that absorbs the essence of foreign countries, and it is indeed too much music ahead of Cai Wenji's era. There is a strange person like Liu Yuan in the project he is good at, coupled with the huge contrast between his appearance, temperament and beggar status, it is difficult for Cai Wenji to pay more attention.
But after a child like Cai Jin said this, the taste changed.
Liu Yuan took the lead in breaking the embarrassment and said to Cai Jin: Okay, I'll show you now so that you can know how good I am.
In the following time, Liu Yuan told Cai Jin three fairy tales. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty are gone. This time Liu Yuan can be said to have racked his brains, he doesn't remember many fairy tales, but most of them are classics. As a result, there was naturally no need to ask, the little girl was fascinated by it, and even Cai Wenji was attracted. No way, the advantage of two thousand years is too great.
In the end, Liu Yuan felt that he needed to check more fairy tales through the system, otherwise there would be no stories to tell next time.
Of course, it wasn't all Liu Yuan who was talking, Cai Wenji also told Liu Yuan the details of the day when he was rescued. It turned out that Cai Wenji went to visit her sister Kong that day, that is, Kong Rong's daughter, Nanyang Taishou Yangxu's daughter-in-law, and Yang's daughter-in-law. Liu Yuan fainted in front of the Yangfu Gate and was taken back to Cai's Mansion by Cai Wenji.
