Chapter 182: The sound of the piano is long
Anyi City is divided into three urban circles: large, medium and small.
The big city is the Warring States period, built as the capital of the Wei State, in the big city, interlocking, there are two city circles of the middle city and the small city.
The small city was built in the Qin and Han dynasties as the county capital of Hedong County, and was built in the city circle of Dacheng.
The warm sunlight spreads on the earth, and on a high platform in the southeast corner of the small city, a girl wearing a plain white skirt sits on the top of the stage, and in front of her, there is a paulownia yaoqin.
The slender fingers gently plucked the strings, and a melodious melody lingered on the high platform for a long time. With the plucking of the fingers, the notes jumping out of the strings are sometimes as crisp and refreshing as a ball falling on a jade plate, and sometimes as fresh and elegant as a mountain spring.
The soft wind swept over the high platform, ruffling the hair on the girl's forehead and shaking the hem of her skirt. The hem of the clothes fluttered in the wind, and the plain white skirt was like a flowing floating cloud, with a bit of tranquility in the plain elegance.
Lowering her head and stroking Yaoqin, the corners of the girl's mouth always maintained a faint smile. The water chestnut-shaped mouth, although it is not as impulsive as the cherry mouth, but when it is slightly smiling, it also has a sultry charm.
Several fast horses galloped along the bluestone road towards the high platform, Liu Wei was wearing goose-yellow deep clothes, riding on the back of the first fast horse, followed by six guards wearing red deep clothes.
At the bottom of the high platform, Liu Wei turned over and jumped off the horse, stood in front of the steps, and looked up at the girl who was stroking Yaoqin on the stage.
Looking at the girl on the high platform from the bottom up, Liu Wei only felt as if he had seen the fairy of Yaochi. The fluttering skirt swayed in the wind, adding a bit of fairy-like ethereal to her.
Walking up the stairs slowly, Liu Wei's eyes always stayed on the girl who was caressing Yaoqin.
Although he disagreed with him that he wanted to meet Cai Yan alone, Xu Shu finally helped him facilitate the matter. Cai Yan has not yet passed the door, nor has he moved into the Wei family, and is still living in the courtyard built by the Cai family in Anyi City.
As the daughter of a family family, Cai Yan has a very strict family education, and compared with ordinary women, she has many fewer opportunities to contact with the outside world.
But in the depths of the boudoir, she has already heard of Liu Wei's reputation.
Dong Zhuo has been committed to blocking Liu Bian's news, but the more he blocks, the more Liu Biao is rumored to be a god.
In the past, in Luoyang and Chang'an, Cai Yan loved to listen to some rumors from the outside world from the handmaiden, many of which were about the king Hongnong who fled Luoyang with the princess. After listening to the story a lot, Cai Yan's girlish heart gradually became interested in this Hongnong King.
It is precisely because of this that Xu Shu facilitated the meeting between the two, so it didn't take much time.
Two guards who came with Liu Wei stayed at the foot of the steps to guard the horses, and the other four guards, after escorting Liu Wei to the high platform, lined up on both sides and stood guard on the steps.
Liu Wei ascended the high platform alone, he did not interrupt Cai Yan's stroke, but stood on the edge of the top step, quietly listening to the beautiful melody.
"I have heard for a long time that the girl is talented, and today I am fortunate to hear the girl stroke the piano, and this king is really fortunate to have three lives!" After Cai Yan finished soothing, Liu Wei slowly took two steps closer to her and praised her sincerely.
Hearing Liu Wei speak, Cai Yan glanced up at him, smiled slightly, stood up and blessed him and said: "His Royal Highness Su Wen is a young hero, and now when I see it, I am really not vain!" ”
"Oh?" When Cai Yan said this, Liu Wei tilted his head slightly, with a rather curious look on his face, and asked her, "Why did the girl say this?" ”
"Although His Royal Highness is the same age as the slave family, and he is only wearing ordinary deep clothes, he has a murderous aura all over his body!" Cai Yan had a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Liu Wei with a bit of playfulness in his expression: "Although the slave family has never been on the battlefield, the slaughter on His Royal Highness makes the slave family feel chills in their hearts. ”
"This king doesn't want to be like that!" As soon as Cai Yan said this, Liu Wei sighed lightly, walked to the edge of the high platform, looked into the distance, as if pondering something, and said lightly after a while: "This king also wants to live a peaceful and peaceful life, but the troubled times are coming, the traitor is in charge, and cowardice will only make people die faster!" ”
Cai Yan didn't speak, she preferred to sing arias, she didn't have much interest in battlefield killing, and she didn't know how to answer Liu Wei's words.
"For 400 years, the country has been 8,000 miles of mountains and rivers. Fengge Dragon Tower is even Xiao Han, and the jade tree Qiongzhi is made of smoke. I have known how to fight. Once he was classified as a captive, his waist and temples were consumed. It is the day of the hasty resignation of the temple, and the church still plays a parting song. Weeping to Gong E. Looking at the bright sunshine, Liu Wei remembered a poem by the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, made some changes, turned his back to Cai Yan, and read it.
When he pronounced this poem, Cai Yan's body was slightly stunned, he looked at him with a confused expression, and muttered for a while before he said faintly: "Your Highness has such a strange rhythm, it is really amazing." Although the rhythm has not been seen, it sounds very beautiful......"
"Beautiful!" Turning around and facing Cai Yan, Liu Wei had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to her: "Sometimes beauty is also a kind of helplessness!" ”
As a talented woman, Cai Yan has always had a special interest in some eccentric rules. Liu Wei chanted the word card of the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty here, which happened to be in the middle of the heart.
This kind of word card, which appeared in the Sui and Tang dynasties and flourished in the two Song dynasties, is a very new place for Cai Yan, who lived in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
She didn't seem to pay attention to what Liu Wei said later, and in the water chestnut-shaped mouth, she was still whispering the words that Liu Wei had just recited.
"It's the most hasty resignation temple day, and the church still plays the song!" After chanting this sentence several times, Cai Yan sighed faintly, and asked Liu Wei softly: "Your Highness is alluding to the fact that Dong Xiangguo abolished His Royal Highness as the King of Hongnong?" ”
When this sentence was asked, Cai Yan suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, his pretty face turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head.
What surprised her was that Liu Wei was not angry because she uncovered the original scars, but with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, she nodded, and said softly: "The emperor is abolished, and the troubled times have begun." It's been a long time, but one day Dong Zhuo will taste the bitter fruit because of the decision of the day! ”
Standing at the low table, Cai Yan lowered his head and did not continue Liu Wei's words. Her father, Cai Yong, received a lot of benefits from Dong Zhuo as an official in the court, because of Cai Yong, although in front of Liu Wei, Cai Yan didn't comment too much on Dong Zhuo.
"If His Highness's chant is made into a rhythm, it is really beautiful!" The two stood facing each other, silent for a moment, and Cai Yan whispered to Liu Wei: "I don't know if His Highness can communicate with the law?" ”
"Although this king learned some when he was the crown prince, he was not proficient!" There are still memories of the real Liu Wei in his mind, and now Liu Wei can still recall some fragments of Liu Wei's memories before he crossed it, and said to Cai Yan with a slight smile: "The girl is proficient in the piano, and this king does not dare to be clumsy." If the girl thinks that this law can make the sound of the piano, this king is willing to follow the boya period and make this bosom friend with the girl! ”
"In this way, the slave family will play a song for His Highness!" Liu Wei already admitted that his piano skills were not proficient, and Cai Yan did not want to force him to change the words to the qin rhythm, and Liu Wei had already said that he asked her to make music for the words, and she didn't want to make many excuses, so she blessed Liu Bi, sat on the low table, burned a stick of incense, bowed to Na Yaoqin, and inserted the incense into the small copper tripod on the table, then pressed her fingers on the strings and gently plucked it.
As she plucked it gently, the strings vibrated slightly, making a clear sound.
After adjusting the timbre, Cai Yan turned his head to look at Liu Bian, who was kneeling not far away and waiting to listen to the playing, bowed slightly to him, and saluted again, and then played the yaoqin according to the word card chanted by Liu Bian.
The beautiful sound of the piano, with a little sadness and a little sorrow, floated on the high platform, accompanied by the trembling of the strings, and a beautiful piano sound echoed in Liu Wei's ears.
Liu Wei slowly closed his eyes and quietly listened to the beautiful tune. Although he doesn't understand the rhythm of music, he also knows something, during the Tang and Song dynasties, the popular musical instruments were pipa and sheng flute, not Yaoqin and Guzheng.
In the books that Liu Wei has read in the past, Cai Yan described is a talented woman whose life is full of tragedy. Married to Wei Zhongdao, but the husband was a short-lived dead ghost, and later was exiled to the Southern Xiongnu and became the woman of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, until Cao Cao redeemed her, it was considered to have returned to her homeland.
Hearing that Cai Yan was about to marry Wei Zhongdao, he asked Xu Shu to arrange to meet her, and Liu Wei's plan was to disrupt the marriage.
He can't watch a generation of talented women marry a short-lived dead ghost! I can't even look at her, she was taken away by the Huns, and she was bullied in the Huns with a belly full of talent.
Under the gentle plucking of Cai Yan's ten fingers, the sound of the piano swirled around the stage and did not disperse for a long time. Listening to this beautiful sound of the piano, Liu Wei became more and more sure in his heart that since he had come to this era, since he could change his own fate, he would have to fight against fate again and find a better home for Cai Yan.
Stroking Yaoqin, Cai Yan looked solemn, her delicate body seemed to be full of strength at this time, and every note she played was so clear and moving.
Listening to the beautiful and sentimental melody, Liu Wei had secretly made a decision in his heart, if he could not successfully persuade Cai Yan to give up Wei Zhongdao this time, he would lead the army into the Wei family, even if he fell into the name of harming the virtuous, he would definitely rescue this ancient and peerless talented woman from fire and water!
"Your Highness...... His Royal Highness ...... "His mind was full of thoughts about changing Cai Yan's fate, Liu Wei actually weaved all kinds of scenes that disrupted the marriage in his mind for a while, and the song had already been played, Cai Yan called him a few times, and he was stunned for a moment and came back to his senses from his reverie.
"This king is immersed in the melody, and he can't extricate himself for a long time! If it weren't for the girl's call, she would still linger at the sound of the piano. Cai Yan called softly a few times, interrupting Liu Wei's thoughts, he smiled awkwardly, first explained, and then asked Cai Yan: "Girl's small characters, but Wen Ji?" ”
"Wen Ji?" After listening to Liu Wei's words, Cai Yan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, smiled slightly, and said to him: "This small character is elegant, but the small character of the slave family is Zhaoji!" ”
