Section 52 Farewell
Only then did Yang Chao retract his thoughts: "Gift? Ahhh ”
As he spoke, he took out his musical instrument and wrapped it tightly in pure white silk.
When opened, it was divided into two pieces, one resembling a lute and the other a bow, which immediately attracted the attention of others.
If you want to say it's a pipa, how can you say it's a multi-piece bow, if you want to say it's an erhu, the appearance is too different.
Li Xiangjun said: "What are you?" ”
Yang Chao said: "Send a song to Miss Liu." ”
After that, I pressed the instrument to my shoulder, tried the position, adjusted it, and gently picked up the bow and pulled.
A melodious tune sounded.
Of course, this is not a pipa, let alone an erhu, no wonder these famous prostitutes don't know each other, this is a violin, which has appeared in the West, but it has not yet reached China thousands of miles away from the ocean.
The violin making technique is not difficult, and after Yang Chao's request, the craftsmen of the string shop did not encounter much difficulty in making it.
The strings are made of silver wire, and the bow is made of horsetails, which are not cheap, and they are finely crafted, so this piano costs Yang Chao ten taels of silver.
Yang Chao played the piano, and the music made these famous prostitutes who were proficient in music and rhythm listen quietly, and they were very touched.
And Yang Chao's posture is very different, but he always feels that there is an elegance in it.
Chinese culture is actually Ya culture at its root, which has edified the Chinese for thousands of years, and these women are the top group of people, so the understanding of Ya can be said to have reached the highest level of human beings in the world, and their feelings are very accurate, which is simply the standard of this era.
So the famous prostitutes who broke off with Yang Chao not long ago also felt that Yang Chao was not so unbearable at this time.
Maybe there's some misunderstanding.
Just finished playing, Gu Mei asked, "Is there any lyrics for this song?" ”
Yang Chao nodded, this song has really been filled in by someone, and it has to be written with pen and ink.
Gu Mei was the first to read it, and saw that the lyrics were simple and catchy, and she memorized them after a few times.
"It's good that Yang Gongzi is pulling it again!"
Although it is an inquiry, it is actually a request.
Yang Chao complied and played the piano again.
At the same time, Gu Mei's beautiful voice sounded: "Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green......
In later generations, this is a song that is so simple that it is classified as a children's rhyme, although the lyrics and songs are simple, but the meaning is long, and it is rated as a perfect combination of music and music.
What's even more surprising is that the song was composed by Americans, but the lyrics were written by Mr. Li Shutong during the Republic of China.
This song is an American song written by the American John Oldway, but it also has a very oriental rhythm to the ears of the Orientals, so it spread in the East, and the Japanese also wrote the lyrics for the tune.
Mr. Li Shutong discovered this piece in Japan, and then wrote the lyrics by himself to create this song.
"The evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain...... A pot of turbid wine is full of joy, don't dream cold tonight. ”
Gu Mei finished singing and asked, "What is the name of Yang Gongzi's song?" ”
Yang Chao replied: "The lyrics and songs are all called farewell." ”
Bian Sai once knew from Li Xiangjun that he would not be able to compose lyrics, but Yang Chao denied that he could compose lyrics, and this time he heard Yang Chao's lyrics and songs, and he couldn't help but doubt in his heart, looking at the lyrics and songs of this song, although it is simple, it is not good, and everyone here has never heard it, to say that it is not made by Yang Chao, it is a complete lie.
"Farewell, farewell! It's not good at all, it's so sad! I know you're not at ease. ”
Li Xiangjun's complaint interrupted Bian Sai's musings.
When I looked up, I saw Li Xiangjun's tears rolling in my eyes, and I was touched with sadness.
Sha Cai sighed at this time: "When this minor tune arrives, it reminds me of the farewell of the Changting Pavilion in the West Chamber. ”
Everyone was also touched.
"The sky is blue, the yellow flowers are in the ground, and the west wind is tight. The northern geese fly south. Who is drunk with frost in Xiaolai? Always away from tears. ”
Sha Cai read it out, causing more people to cry.
Yang Chao wondered on the side, isn't it just a song, guilty of so much sentimentality.
"Sisters, what are you crying about, it's not like I'm not coming back. Look at you, I'm really ashamed, Yang Gongzi is still here. ”
Liu Ru pretended to smile, and at the same time came to Yang Chao's side and bowed gently: "Thank you Yang Gongzi." The lyrics and songs are excellent. ”
Yang Chao smiled: "It's good if Miss Liu likes it." ”
At the same time, Yang Chao also handed the piano over: "By the way, there is also this piano, for you." ”
"Oh?"
Liu Ru took it and looked at it carefully, he really hadn't seen it.
"It's a violin, a Western instrument, made for people. The girl may not have seen it. It's just a fun. ”
Yang Chao had no intention of promoting Western musical instruments, but it was just a novel gift to Liu Ru.
The violin is no better than a Chinese instrument.
Before the advent of the piano, it can be said that Chinese and Western music have their own merits, and Chinese musical instruments are still unique because of their long history and more famous songs that have been handed down.
It's a pity that Yang Chao can't make the piano, not because he doesn't know the structure, but because the process can't be reached at all, the parts needed to make a piano are much more complex than a carriage, and more refined, Yang Chao knows that with his own level, there is no way to make it.
In fact, there are not many people in the world who can make high-end pianos by hand in later generations.
Liu Ru put away the piano and didn't try to play it, what she didn't understand, she wouldn't take it out, these women are used to showing people with perfection, and it is a wise saying that it is better to hide ugliness than to hide it.
Liu Ru suddenly asked again: "Yang Gongzi, the words are like his person, the text is like his person, and the song is like his person, is this right?" ”
He just played a tune, the song is like his person, Yang Chao doesn't know if he is talking about himself.
said directly: "The human heart is the most complicated, the human heart is unpredictable, and the fortune teller is not the human heart." Qu is like a person, and it is also right and wrong. Can you tell who the Bian sisters are from behind? Qin Shi Huang was scolded as a tyrant, but the Great Wall he built protected the Central Plains for more than a thousand years, and Emperor Yang of Sui was also said to be a faint monarch, if there was no Grand Canal to transport grain, the north did not know how many people would starve to death. Seeing people is the same as looking at things, and if you don't see things from different angles, you see them differently. It is biased to look at a person only from words, texts, and songs. ”
Yang Chao thought that Liu Ru guessed his own personality from his own songs, how could a complex person be seen through at a glance, let alone look at others, it may be difficult for him to see himself clearly.
Liu said: "Then how do you see a person clearly? ”
Yang Chao smiled: "Let's see people's hearts for a long time." ”
"See people's hearts over time!"
Liu Ru nodded, she was actually thinking about Qian Qianyi, and she suddenly found that she didn't know the old bureaucrat at all.
"Well, you're not at ease. The gift was also given, don't say goodbye, hurry up, hurry up. ”
Li Xiangjun shouted, this is her place, and she began to drive people away at this time.
The girls and the little girls accompanied the guests with laughter one by one, and they all knew that Li Xiangjun's temper was not good, probably due to the influence of Yang's mother Li Zhenli, Li Xiangjun's temper was sometimes extremely hot.
Yang Chao walked out of Meixiang Building and said goodbye to the famous prostitutes who came out one by one, and faintly heard a voice in the building at this time.
"Let's go, let's go, let me die of old age alone!"
