Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Sound of Heaven
Hearing Granny Wang's words, Li Tao finally relieved himself, he knew that his first step was successful.
Under the guidance of Granny Wang, the three of them walked while admiring the small bridges, flowing water and pavilion courtyards, and several winding corridors leading to different courtyards and rooms, which had a winding and secluded feeling.
"Cheng Dacai, please take care of yourself, the old body has said goodbye!" Granny Wang led the three of them to a house and turned to leave.
Cheng Dezhang turned his head and glanced at Li Tao, his eyes full of inquiry.
Li Tao smiled and said, "Master, please come inside!" ”
Cheng Dezhang was silent after hearing this, and raised his hand to knock on the door gently.
"But Cheng Dacai, please come in!" A crisp voice came from inside the room.
Cheng Dezhang was also polite, and took the lead in pushing the door in. Fan Changfeng followed closely, and when he entered the house, he didn't forget to secretly extend a thumbs up to Li Tao!
As soon as Li Tao entered the room, he looked carefully. Through the reddish curtain, Xi Xiaoqian's boudoir bed can be seen. Diagonally opposite the bed is a tortoiseshell shell-inlaid dressing table, with two embroidered silk silks hanging on each wall on either side of the dresser. The left side of the room is separated by a screen, and a piano and a lute can be faintly seen. The piano only shows a headstock, and the color is a little dark and old, which does not match the exquisite and rich style of the whole house. To the bottom left of Jean is a fine Sydney desk with the desk leaning against the window. There is a large window on the left side of the desk, and on the table by the window is a vase with a blooming peony.
"I don't know if Cheng Dacai is coming, do you have any advice?" It was none other than Xi Xiaoqian, who was known as "Xi Sizhu".
While speaking, Xi Xiaoqian had already made a blessing to Cheng Dezhang.
Xi Xiaoqian was wearing a light blue long skirt, embroidered with white red plums on the skirt, but there was a little more dusty temperament in the light and elegant place. The wide skirt is elegant and luxurious. The black jade-like green silk is simply rolled into a flying fairy bun, and a few full and round pearls are embellished in the hair at will, making the cloud-like hair more soft and moisturized. The beautiful eyes are full of brilliance, and there is a light smile between the red lips.
"You're welcome! It's not that I'm looking for you! Cheng Dezhang returned a salute to Xi Xiaoqian.
"Not you? That ......" Xi Xiaoqian had a strange expression on her face.
"He's looking for you!" Cheng Dezhang flashed to the side, revealing Li Tao behind him.
Xi Xiaoqian looked at the ten-year-old child in front of her and couldn't help but wonder: "This little Langjun, I don't know the name?" Why are you looking for me? ”
Li Tao was not in a hurry or panic, and said slowly: "Everyone, my surname is Li Mingtao, and I am a student of Master Cheng!" I'm here to make an exchange with you! ”
"A swap? Li Xiaolangjun, can you be clearer? ”
"That's right, I'll give you a heavenly sound, you can do me a favor!" Li Tao directly explained the intention.
"How can you help?"
"Come with me to meet someone!"
"See whom?"
"Nie Shen counts!"
"What do you see him doing?" Xi Xiaoqian frowned slightly.
"You'll understand!"
"What if I don't go?" Xi Xiaoqian asked with a smile.
"Impossible!"
"Why?"
"Because I have a heavenly voice." Li Tao is very confident.
"The sound of heaven? I've heard so many sounds of nature that I'm not interested in them anymore! Xi Xiaoqian smiled bitterly.
"Everyone, just listen to whether it's good or bad. I'll only play a short part, so I won't delay you too much, and if you can't say it, I'll turn around and leave! "Li Tao is very self-aware.
"Alright then!" Xi Xiaoqian reluctantly agreed, and then asked Li Tao: "I don't know if Li Xiaolangjun plays on the pipa or the guzheng?" ”
Where does Li Tao know how to use pipa and guzheng, but this is not difficult for him: "Everyone, no need, I have a musical instrument with me, and I will play it for you now!" ”
After that, Li Tao whistled decently. Although Li Tao can't play musical instruments, he whistles well, and what he exports is the popular "Liang Zhu" in later generations.
Xi Xiaoqian's expression changed, and she muttered to herself as she listened: "What a beautiful scenery of bright spring and fragrant birds." ”
Listening to Xi Xiaoqian's words, Li Tao stopped. "Liang Zhu" is Li Tao's favorite song in later generations, and now the reappearance of "Liang Zhu" suddenly makes him feel like he is suddenly separated from the world.
"Li Xiaolang, why did you stop?" Xi Xiaoqian frowned.
Li Tao sighed: "Everyone is really the master of knowing the goods, and you can hear the three flavors just by passing through the door, which is really admirable!" ”
Li Tao didn't compliment Xi Xiaoqian, he didn't expect Xi Xiaoqian to say this. The introduction of "Liang Zhu" does reflect the scene of bright spring and fragrant birds.
Speaking of this, Li Tao stared at Xi Xiaoqian: "Xi, everyone, I don't know if this song can be worthy of the sound of heaven?" ”
"Deserve it, Li Xiaolang, can you finish playing?" Xi Xiaoqian was a little impatient.
Li Tao continued to play, he played very devotedly, at first it was a high-pitched melody, like a girl's murmuring, and then it was the reappearance of the bass, the whistle went straight to the heart, like a generous man whispering, in the crying like a complaint, Xi Xiaoqian's tears flowed.
Not only Xi Xiaoqian, but also Cheng Dezhang and Fan Changfeng on the side were also strongly shocked by the music played by Li Tao, they saw Xi Xiaoqian immersed in it, they were fascinated, they didn't dare to speak, they just listened silently. As the whistle was repeated, something beautiful rolled and rose in their hearts. When they heard the passage of throwing themselves into the grave, they felt a very heavy oppression, but they couldn't say it, and when it came to the chapter of turning into a butterfly, the three of them gradually became intoxicated in gentleness.
Li Tao stopped, but the three of them didn't realize it.
After a long time, Fan Changfeng muttered: "Ah Tao, now I really know you, you are no longer the Ah Tao you used to be!" With a friend like you, I Fan Changfeng has no regrets in this life! ”
Cheng Dezhang was already so shocked that he couldn't speak, he suddenly remembered what Hua Yunfeng said at the beginning, if this Li Tao is not possessed by a god and a ghost, he is a natural ghost, otherwise how can he be like two people in the past?
Xi Xiaoqian said uncontrollably: "Somehow, the slave family has a heartbreak feeling after listening to this song, Li Xiaolang, if the slave family is not mistaken, this song should have a poignant story, right?" ”
"You guessed right!" Li Tao nodded.
"Can you tell me about it?"
Caoqiao worship, classmates for three years, forced marriage, Loutai meeting, throwing into the grave, turning into butterflies, the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai was told from Li Tao's mouth, and the three of them sighed.
"Li Xiaolang, can you play it again? So that the slaves can keep a score! Xi Xiaoqian pleaded.
Li Tao was surprised: "I heard that everyone in the table has the ability to never forget, this is ......"
Xi Xiaoqian said ashamedly: "The slave family was too forgetful to hear it just now, and they couldn't extricate themselves from it, and forgot to memorize it!" Li Xiaolang, I bother you to play it again, I won't mistake a note! ”
