Konghou, originally known as "Kanhou" or "Konghou", because of its wide vocal range, soft and clear timbre, strong expressiveness and other characteristics, it is very popular among the people of the Tang Dynasty nowadays, and even the court music also attaches great importance to it. According to the different shapes, the gonghou is divided into three types: lying gonghou, vertical gonghou, and phoenix-headed gonghou.

Right now, the woman wearing a hat is holding a phoenix-headed gonghou.

In modern society, this kind of musical instrument is close to extinction, and even if there is, it is only used in a small number of national symphony orchestras, but Li Xi, who was an ordinary little white-collar worker in his previous life, has never seen it, so when he came back from Liu Bo's cunning that suddenly hung his wrist, he was stunned again.

Because of this strange instrument, he didn't even know it!

Fortunately, there are people with status and status at this scene, except for him, there is really no one who doesn't know Konghou, so as soon as the woman walked out, someone at the scene suddenly whispered. Even Li Qiu, the third uncle of the businessman next to him, sighed and said, "What a gonghou, this is definitely not our Jiannan Dao's craft, this has to be the two capitals." However, this phoenix head is not easy to play, and without a few years of hard work, it can't become a tune at all! ”

Konghou? Still phoenix head gonghou?

Li Xi was stunned for a moment, and then felt that his mind suddenly lit up, and suddenly felt that the name Konghou was quite familiar, and he must have heard this name in his previous life.

At this time, there were already maids who moved the embroidery stool and piano stand, and the woman wearing the hat put down the gonghou, turned to Liu Bofu on the main seat, and then sat on the embroidery stool, and then only slightly tuned the strings, and the whispers of the crowd fell unconsciously, and the scene was suddenly so quiet that the needles could be heard.

The people of the Tang Dynasty like Konghou, but the Konghou is a musical instrument, which is not easy to play, and if you want to play it well, it is even more difficult, so it is very rare for the people to see a good Konghou musician.

At this time, he heard a clear string sound, which immediately reminded Li Xi of the so-called "big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate", but after thinking about it carefully, he came back to his senses, and the big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate were written on the pipa.

At this time, he looked sideways and left and right, and when he saw the sound of this gonghou, everyone on the scene followed the demon, but at least half of them squinted their eyes, obviously this woman played wonderfully, and everyone had already entered the sound with her melody! Even Li Zao, the little fat man beside him, shook his head and trembled his eyebrows at this time.

Li Xi is not a Tang Dynasty person in his bones, and he has never heard of Konghou playing in his previous life, so in the current atmosphere of this scene, he really feels that he is a little out of place, but fortunately, first, the sound and color of this Konghou are beautiful and melodious, and secondly, the woman's small hands are slender and white, especially when the hands jump back and forth on the strings of Konghou, it is even more agile, and it makes people feel very eye-catching when they look at it, so while watching and listening, this strange Konghou is also quite tasteful.

In the beautiful gonghou performance, time passed slowly, until the sound of "zheng", the gonghou sound completely stopped, and even the tail note gradually dispersed, and there was a little other sound on the scene, but someone slowly exhaled a breath.

Then someone praised: "What a "Xiangfei Bamboo", the girl has good piano skills!" ”

Li Xi also came back to his senses when he saw that the little hands suddenly stopped, and at this time Liu Bo had already stood up with a smile on his face, and said: "Wu Ji is a singer I specially purchased from Chang'an, can you listen to this Gong Hou?" ”

Of course, everyone praised it one after another.

Not to mention that the playing is really wonderful, even if it is not good, no one will expose this face.

Seeing this, the woman known as Wu Ji stood up and blessed everyone.

At this time, I saw Liu Bo wave his hand and waved his hand to signal that Wu Ji to retreat, and waited for everyone to stop for a while, and then laughed like Maitreya Buddha, and said: "Since everyone here loves it, then, is there poetry?" ”

As soon as he asked this, the scene suddenly fell silent.

Everyone's previous preparation is not this, come to celebrate the birthday, everyone's preparation is naturally related to the birthday, plus I have never heard of Liu Bo, the old man who likes singing and dancing instrumental music, everyone has not the slightest preparation, but now he was confused by his sudden hand, even if there is a rush, at this time he just bowed his head and thought hard, and did not dare to raise his head to answer.

Seeing that the scene was cold, Liu Bo didn't care at all, and just smiled and continued: "Today is the old man's fourth birthday, if you don't have good poetry, won't you even look good on my face?" Well...... It's not as good as this, the old man will be generous today, you and each of you have your own skills, the old man will ask our assassin Zhou Lord as the judge, for your poems to comment, can get a good work and press the volume, you can take this Wu Ji away later, it is the old man's gift, what do you think? ”

At this moment, his words fell, and the scene was suddenly coaxed and almost exploded.

Since ancient times, the beauty has been moving, although the woman known as Wu Ji wears a hat from beginning to end, teaching people to see her face clearly, but just looking at her body and complexion, you will know that the hat will not be ugly, and moreover, if you can let the dignified Sima Lord Liu Bo take it out as a reward at the birthday banquet, it is very likely to be a heavenly national color!

Therefore, when everyone heard this, they were immediately moved.

At this time, I saw a middle-aged scribe sitting on the left who was wearing a casual dress and looked like he was only in his early thirties, and smiled faintly, and said, "Lord Sima is so tricky, asking me to comment on poetry, wouldn't it be clear that such beautiful jade and beautiful women have nothing to do with me!" Zhou is not convinced, not convinced! ”

Liu Bo laughed when he heard this, and said, "That's the idea of a certain fight, but I don't want to let Lord Thorn Shi see through it at a glance!" Then he laughed again. The two biggest officials at the scene laughed at each other, and everyone naturally laughed at the moment. Only then did Li Xi understand, no wonder Old Man Liu Bo had always been so polite to the middle-aged scribe who didn't look amazing, it turned out that he was Zhou Qiong, the assassin of Benzhou.

At this time, Li Qiu came over with his ears and whispered to Li Xi: "You should be very familiar with this week, he is a role model for you scholars, he was a high school jinshi at the age of seventeen, tsk, since I opened the Tang Dynasty, he is the youngest jinshi." It's just that there is one item that you must not know virtue, his wife is the youngest daughter of the ninth linggong in the court, it is said that she was born beautifully, but she is jealous, very jealous, but this week Qiong is very afraid of her! ”

Therefore, although Zhou Qiong has risen all the way in the past ten years, and the official has risen very fast, there is not even a singer in the family, let alone a concubine, it is said that even the maids and maids in their family are either old or ugly! It's just that he didn't dare to say it himself, and everyone just talked and laughed a few times in private, and didn't dare to say it. Just by looking at this hand, you know that your future old father-in-law can be regarded as pinching his pulse! In this way, it not only saved him face, but also did not offend the lady in his family...... Tsk, I have to admit that it's really old! ”

Li Xi nodded again and again when he heard this, he didn't expect there to be such a play here.

Originally, I thought that the directors, ministers, and managers in modern society who were proficient in the so-called office politics were powerful enough, but now it seems that the IQ of people in the Tang Dynasty was not bad at all compared to modern people.

Well, it should be said that it is more than that!

But thinking about it on the other hand, Zhou Qiong was born as a Jinshi, and his academic level is undoubtedly the highest on the scene, and he is the biggest official among the people present. If it is a different person, once he Zhou Qiong has written a poem, what kind of comment should he make? Point him first, although no one dares to say anything, in the end, there are also slippery people who are not convinced, if you don't point him first...... Is this the Lord Assassin so offended?

Zhou Qiong obviously saw through Liu Bo's intentions at a glance, and when everyone laughed, he took over the errand of commenting on the poem with a smile, and then Liu Bo waved his hand and said: "Light incense, together with Lord Thorn Shi, wait for the princes to make a masterpiece!" ”

When his words fell, naturally someone in the family took out the incense table that had been prepared a long time ago and lit a stick of rosin for timing. And everyone in the audience also scratched their ears or frowned and thought hard.

What a similar scene, just the day before yesterday, Li Xi had just finished attending a poetry meeting, but he didn't expect this birthday banquet to come again, the only difference was that this time no one gave him pen and paper, and it seemed that there was no need to write.

Others are busy conceiving masterpieces, Li Xi is not idle, although he can't make poems, but in the last life, he still has some inventory in his stomach, at least some of the more famous Tang poems he still remembers, but for a while he can't remember which poem is dedicated to Konghou, even when he first heard the word Konghou, the flash of inspiration in his heart, this time he didn't know where to go, he didn't have a clue at all.

The point is that this thing is a bit unpopular!

At this time, of course, there are many people among the crowd who either have a weak heart for the way of poetry and literature after getting older, or simply give up because they know that they are not talented, and there are even many people like Li Qiu and his son who do not know anything at all, so they no longer write poetry.

Li Xi, on the other hand, simply sat there and looked at this side and then looked at that side in a daze.

Just as everyone was raising their eyebrows and thinking about it, a stick of incense quickly burned out.

Liu Bo smiled and stroked his beard and asked, "Everyone, whoever has gained, and read it first, the old man will not teach you to return empty-handed." ”

Hearing his words, several people immediately stood up and read their poems, regardless of whether they were good or bad, they would always win a round of applause from everyone, and then, Zhou Qiong, who was a seventeen-year-old high school jinshi, also shook his head and commented a few words.

He was seventeen years old when he got the Jinshi, in the poetry is indeed quite insightful, no matter what kind of poetry, as long as his comments, can always be the most shining thing in the poem to come out of praise, so those who stand up to read the poems are of course overjoyed, that is, those who did not compose poems, listen to his comments and feel that they have gained a lot in the poetry, so that they have their own fun, and the scene began to gradually become lively again.

At this time, Li Fang suddenly stood up, arched his hand at Liu Bo and Zhou Qiong on the main seat, and said with a flying attitude: "Boy Li Fang, born and not talented, is fortunate to be Sima Da Life, listen to the fairy sound, how much emotion, so there is a poem to offer, if you have to stab Lord Shi axe, it is the luck of the boy!" ”

Liu Bo was overjoyed when he heard this, and said loudly: "Read it!" ”

Li Fang paused when he heard this, took a deep breath, and saw that the eyes of everyone at the table had been attracted by his actions, so he recited aloud: "One string and four turns, but the new wine is sent to Luopu." Hongyun held a new banquet in March, and Sima Xianxuan was a girls' school book. Thorn Shi He once let Luozhou, the Xianqin family lineage. The gold plate suddenly entered the melon beauty, and the intestines were broken and the jade people frequently climbed the stairs. ”

When he read it this time, it was almost word by word, and he read it very subduedly, but Li Xi's level of ancient poetry was really limited, and he didn't understand anything at all, so he just subconsciously turned his head to look at it, especially when he glanced at the little old man behind Li Fang, who didn't look amazing, and saw that he was shaking his head and shaking his head very proudly with Li Fang's recitation, and he suddenly had seven or eight points of suspicion in his heart at the moment.

At this time, Li Qiu patted him on the shoulder, Li Xi turned his head to look, only to see Li Qiu's two hands stretching out a finger, making a two-finger crossing motion, and nodding at himself, then whispered: "100,000 yuan, hired!" ”

Li Xi pursed his lips and nodded at him, his heart was like this, no wonder he was not panicked when everyone was panicking just now, it turned out that his confidence came from here.

Li Xi can't understand the meaning of this poem, it doesn't mean that others can't understand it, on the contrary, although there are no famous poets with masterpieces in the audience, there are not a few people who really understand poetry.

At the moment, Li Fang had just finished reading, and some people were already applauding!

Some people even shook their heads and sighed: "This is really a person who scratches people's legacy!" ”

Is this poem good? Good indeed.

First of all, it is a poem that puts the thorn history Zhou Qiong, the birthday star Liu Bo, and the singer Wu Ji who wore a hat just now are all held in, and the second is that the rhetoric is elegant, and quite expressive, and it seems to be clear.

In short, although this poem is not so good as a classic, at least compared with the poems of those who preceded it, it is indeed a rare good poem.

In the applause of everyone, even Zhou Qiong, who stabbed Shi Zhouqiong, couldn't help but look at Li Fang in surprise, and nodded again and again: "It's rare, it's rare, Li Fang...... Well, I have read your poems at the Jijiang Pavilion Poetry Meeting the day before yesterday, and your two poems on them are also quite good! ”

After hearing his words, Li Fang suddenly became excited, and hurriedly made a big move, and said modestly: "Lord Assassin Shi has won the award, Lord Assassin Shi has won the award." ”

Seeing this, Liu Bo laughed and said: "Lord Thorn Shi said okay, of course it is the best one, in my opinion, these masterpieces that have been produced before, this one should be the first, what does Lord Thorn Shi think?" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Qiong slapped his palms and said with a smile: "Let's make him the first name!" ”

Liu Bo nodded when he heard this, and said to Li Fang: "You are very good, and sit down first, and listen to the other masters!" ”

Li Fang thanked him for his words when he heard this, and then he turned around and sat down, but he was still very excited on his face that the two bigwigs had joined forces.

At this time, Li Shu stretched out his hand and gently patted him on the shoulder twice, and the father and son looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of pride. Of course, Li Fang naturally wouldn't forget to turn his head and look at Li Xi again at this critical moment of showing his face.

It was a look of disdain and arrogance.

After all, I have been practicing in the office of modern society for several years, although I don't dare to say that there is any kung fu to nourish qi, but at least Li Xi has always felt that he is still relatively patient, but when he is provoked by the other party again and again, no matter how good Li Xi's patience kung fu is, he will also feel that his anger is almost full.

Of course, no matter how angry he is in his heart, in this kind of public occasion, he must still have the shy smile on his face that seems to have remained unchanged for thousands of years.

Following Li Fang, Li Xi's second uncle Li Wei also seemed to secretly glance over here, but it was only a short moment, and before Li Xi noticed his gaze, he had already turned his head, closed his eyes and smiled comfortably.

100,000 yuan, without his permission, Li Fang and his mother alone would not have been able to come up with so much money, but now that I think about it, although I was distressed at the time, it seemed that my heart and liver were dragged away, but I can have this scene today, and I can have such glory today...... It's worth it!

What I've been asking for all along, isn't it that Fang'er can compete for more energy! Back then, he was 108,000 miles worse than his eldest brother, could it be that his son was also inferior to his son? Is the gap between two people really that big? He can come out of nothing, live in a county and be the head of the county, but he has been doing nothing until he dies, so that he can use his little "residual shade" to mix with the small officials in the county government? I don't accept it!

But this guy is really not very competitive, so what should I do?

I don't have anything else in my family, although I am just a county official all these years, but I have made some money, that's okay, then spend money to buy a fight, I have to let myself out of this bad breath!

Now, I'm satisfied.

Thinking that with these two foreshadowings, Fang'er can also take the opportunity to become famous, and the child left by the eldest brother ...... Hmph, now it seems that there is no difference between him and the stupid boy of the third family who only knows how to drink.

Big brother, have you seen it all in the sky?

My son, I've overpowered yours!

Li Chu let out a long breath and looked up at the sky.

Then he picked up a glass of wine and drank it all, with an indescribable pleasure in his chest.

At this time, Liu Bo, who was sitting in the main seat, saw that since Li Fang sat down, the scene had actually quieted down, so he opened his mouth again to urge, but no matter what he said, no one at the scene dared to get up and offer poems anymore.

Obviously, there is already a pearl and jade in front, so naturally no one wants to come out to offer ugliness again.

For a while, as far as his eyes could see, those scribes who were full of confidence just now chose to avoid his eyes one by one, or bowed their heads to drink, or pretended to turn around and talk and laugh with others, in short, no one paid attention to him.

Although the situation was a little unexpected, Liu Bo had been in the officialdom for many years, and he had never seen any scenes, so he turned his head unhurriedly and suddenly aimed at Li Xi.

"Zi said, I have heard for a long time that you are the head of the talented people in my Shuzhou counties, how about it, can you get something today?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the entire arena stopped talking, and directly followed Liu Bo's gaze to find Li Xi, and locked his gaze firmly on him, and the entire Liuhua Hall was quiet again again.
