Li Guinian called the boy to bring a small drum, and then turned his head to look at Meng Xiaoyu next to him: "Do you know Chuyin?" Meng Xiaoyu said: "I have learned before." ”

"That's good, I'll play the drums, you and the pipa." Li Guinian said unhurriedly.

Meng Xiaoyu knew Li Guinian's name, and when she heard that he invited her to play together, she looked a little excited and nervous: "I'm afraid I won't play well." ”

Li Guinian twisted a small pinch of his chin and smiled: "It's okay." ”

Xue Chongxun hurriedly sat on the soft collapse in the north and listened attentively. Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are compulsory courses for the nobles of the family, in fact, he was involved in it when he was a child, but he has no attainments in calligraphy, painting, chess, etc., and only knows a little fur, but Xue Chongxun knows more about this music, and he can be regarded as an amateur. So he is also looking forward to hearing the performance of famous musicians.

Li Guinian opened with a slow beat, and Meng Xiaoyu immediately plucked the pipa, and a low melody sounded, sounding sad and beautiful. Xue Chongxun had also studied Chu Yin, and when he closed his eyes, the beautiful image of Mrs. Xiang appeared in his mind, and he couldn't imagine Mrs. Xiang's appearance, like Jin Cheng and Yuwen Ji, and he also thought of the exotic princess Murong Yan......

After a while, the pipa played out a jingle sound again, as if the noble ring on the goddess's body swayed gently with the light steps.

The level of this simple combination of "symphony" is so high that Xue Chongxun has indeed never heard of it. Li Guinian, in terms of status, that is the Beethoven of this era!

The music will be sad and joyful, and people's feelings will rise and fall with their performance. I don't know if Zhang Shuo on the side is involved in music, but I can see that Zhang Shuo's expression is also changing with the music.

In the end, there was a terrible wail, and Xue Chongxun felt a thousand sorrows and hatreds of a resentful girl in the deep mountains...... Isn't that poignant tone the outpouring of fiery love?

The drums stopped, the pipa was quiet, and the four people in the room were speechless for a long time, still immersed in the emotion of the music, unable to extricate themselves and unable to return to their senses.

Xue Chongxun said happily: "It is worthy of the Year of the Turtle Li!" ”

Li Guinian said with a smile: "It's just a false name, didn't the county king find out that this Mengniang in your house played very well?" He thought that Meng Xiaoyu was Xue Chongxun's private courtesan.

In fact, Xue Chongxun didn't have a song and dance prostitute at home, but he couldn't say that Meng Xiaoyu was a courtesan in a brothel, which hurt his face, so he smiled and didn't say much.

At this time, Li Guinian said: "Actually, I am better at writing music, and playing musical instruments is not my forte." ”

Zhang said: "You are too modest. ”

Li Guinian suppressed his smile and sighed: "If you want to achieve something on a road, the most important thing is to understand your weaknesses. My weakness is indeed playing. ”

This sentence sounded like a truth that Li Guinian had only realized for a long time, and Xue Chongxun also thought seriously for a while after hearing it, and then said with a smile: "I really can't hear your weaknesses." ”

Li Guinian said with a smile: "Just because I understand, I don't know how to make salty grains, drums, and pipa." After that, he took out a roll of rice paper from his sleeve and presented it to Xue Chongxun: "The first time I visited the palace, there was no gift that I could get my hands on, this is a song "Three Rivers Qu" composed by me, please accept it with a smile." ”

"Oh?" Xue Chongxun was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly took it. When he heard the name Sanhe Qu, he already knew that it must be related to his achievements in the Caoyun Reform Law last year, because the name of that decree was "Sanhe Law". Now the famous celebrity Li Guinian wrote a piece of music for him that reflected the change, and the influence was great.

What's going on? The influence of Baume & Mercier's works cannot be underestimated! Just like the poems of those famous poets, a work was immediately circulated all over the world, and even the Japanese envoy to Chang'an must search for Tang poems and music to sell for money, and when it comes to Japan, it is not art, but gold!

"Haha......" Xue Chongxun really liked this gift so much that he couldn't help laughing.

Li Guinian smiled and said: "I wrote this song, without the slightest sycophancy of the heart of the superior, it is the law of the county king is indeed worthy of praise." ”

Xue Chongxun is very proud, this Li Guinian is really likable, he is no longer a sycophant, but he can make people happy more than a sycophant. This incident made him realize the great role of celebrities and literati.

As soon as Xue Chongxun was happy, he naturally became generous, and waved his hand: "Xue Liu, go and get the gift, come and don't be rude, Li Guinian gave me such a big gift, how can I not give back some small gifts?" ”

Xue Chongxun hadn't prepared for this in advance, but he believed that the housekeeper knew what to do. Soon the house slave brought a box of things, and when the box was opened, I saw that it contained silk fabrics such as broken red silk and toad crisp yarn.

Silk fabrics are not only used to make clothes, in the Tang Dynasty, silk and other goods were directly used as general equivalents for money. Therefore, in the later "Charcoal Seller", the eunuchs in the palace used textiles to pay for the charcoal money for the charcoal sellers, and the eunuchs in the poem paid the money, not by force.

The broken red silk, toad crisp yarn and other things brought by the house slaves are valuable silk fabrics, which are difficult for the people to see. Unexpectedly, Li Guinian didn't even look at it, and only said, "The king of the county is kind, and I have received my heart." "I don't think I want to.

At this time, he walked up to Meng Xiaoyu and stretched out his hand and said, "Can you lend me your pipa to take a look?" ”

Meng Xiaoyu naturally handed it to him without hesitation. Li Guinian picked up the pipa, gently stroked the silk strings with his fingers, his eyes were full of love, and then sat down as if no one was around, and played to his heart's content.

Xue Chongxun understood, and Li Guinian fell in love with this pipa with good sound quality...... But it's something that gets a little rain. Xue Chongxun looked at her a little embarrassed.

Meng Xiaoyu smiled: "Mr. Li likes it, just give it to him, Mr. Li plays better than me!" ”

After hearing this, Xue Chongxun pointed to the box on the ground and said, "I don't want these things Li Guinian, then I'll give them to you." ”

Meng Xiaoyu chuckled: "The king of the county is so rich, I'm welcome!" ”

Xue Chongxun waved his hand, he didn't take it seriously at all, anyway, there was a large sum of money in the account every month, and he squandered as much as he could. He also said: "In a few days, I will invite my colleagues to the house as guests, and then I will annoy Mr. Li to come to the party." ”

Li Guinian hugged his fists and said: "A word is a certainty, the pipa of the county king, thank you." ”

Xue Chongxun then sent them out, and it seemed too much to personally send Li Guinian and Meng Xiaoyu to the gate, but there was also Prime Minister Zhang in the party, so Xue Chongxun's actions were reasonable.

Out of the house, when Li Guinian and Meng Xiaoyu got into the car respectively, Zhang Shuo was grinding there slowly. Seeing this, Xue Chongxun calmed down and waited for a while, and when the two carriages were gone, he patted his head and said, "I still have 'Gu Zhu Zi Bamboo Shoots' and forgot to take it out for hospitality...... Everyone is gone, Zhang Xianggong, why don't you accompany me to evaluate the tea again? ”

Zhang said that he was very interested: "I have a little love for the tea ceremony, and the king of the county can't bear to shirk it, so he will talk about it again." ”

Xue Chongxun said with a smile: "You and I are colleagues, and friends of life and death (referring to the trip to Qinghai), so you don't have to see each other." ”G
