Chapter 16 A friend comes from afar
August is the golden autumn season, and the morning song at this time is the most beautiful time, with shady trees and flowers. The princes of the world who Huang Tianhua was thinking about in his heart also came to Chaoge City one after another.
At this time, Huang Xue was like a real lady, not out of the door, not entering the second door, for fear of meeting Jizhou's family on the street. Although she doesn't go out much, she also knows from the people in the palace that the songs of the court these days are really crowded and very lively.
In fact, this is also very easy to calculate, there are 800 princes in the world, less than 180 with them, and it is not surprising that the big ones bring 3500 people, these people are not the masters who are short of money, plus the merchants who took the opportunity to enter the city to do business, this Chaoge City instantly poured in at least 70,000 or 80,000 people, in this vast and sparsely populated era, although this scale is not comparable with the Olympic Games in later generations, but compared with the film festivals and the like in later generations, it is not much better. Huang Xue once suspected that the Shang King's holy decree this time was not to stimulate the economy of Chaoge City?
Tianhua has not seen anyone all day long during this time, so naturally he went to meet some "heroes of the world" with his father, and the upper class society interacted with each other, but it was not all like that.
Huang Yan also often goes out to run blindly, she is a crazy person, so she naturally runs wherever it is lively. Fortunately, although the status of women in this era is low, they are not strict with women, after all, Confucius, who founded Confucianism, was not born until 1,500 years later, otherwise she would not have to be suffocated to death?
On this day, the three of them were rarely at home, and King Wucheng was lecturing the three of them, when he suddenly heard a report from someone who came to visit.
Zigan is an old acquaintance, and he used to come often, and he didn't even need to pass it on to enter the house, but since the princes entered Beijing, they haven't been here for more than half a month.
After a while, Zigan walked in, followed by two young men. The older man, about eighteen or nineteen years old, had a slender figure, fair skin, sparse eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and his face was much more delicate than that of ordinary women. The slightly younger man, with slightly dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, is not surprising at first glance, but when he smiles, it makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Zigan met the prince, and said with a smile: "I came here today to introduce two young talents to the prince." Then he pointed to the older man and said, "This is Ji Kao, the eldest son of Xibohou." ”
Hearing this, Huang Xue laughed out loud, this name is too similar to a roast chicken, and there is no one else. Speaking of which, it seems that I haven't eaten roast chicken for a long time, and the cooking difficulty is not too big, so why don't you try it later?
But when she heard another name, she immediately couldn't laugh, and only heard Zigan say: "This is the second son of Xibohou, Ji Fa." ”
....... Speaking of which, Ji Fa's brother seems to be from Bo Yi Kao, could it be that this "roast chicken" is Bo Yi Kao? That's right, if I call this name, I have to find a way to change it.
The brothers of the Ji family met King Wucheng, and Zigan pointed to Tianhua and the others to introduce them in turn, and when it came to Huang Xue, he said: "Nephew Kaoxian, this is the Huang Xue who mentioned to you before, creating 'Xiangqi'." Ji Kao smiled: "It turned out to be Sister Xue, the foolish brother has been admired for a long time, these days and Lord Yaxiang learned 'chess', the foolish brother and the father are inseparable from chess these days, Sister Xue can create this chess, it is really smart." ”
Huang Xue hurriedly replied: "Brother Ji is really overrated, a little plaything, not enough to worry about." ”
Tianhua said on the side: "Brother Ji doesn't know, Ah Xue also created a fighting ruffian, and it's also fun, how about I teach you back?"
Ji Kao smiled: "Very good. ”
Everyone sat down in turn, Ji Kao was gentle and elegant, and it was extremely comfortable to talk to him, while Ji Fa didn't say much, always smiling, and every time he had something to say, he was incisive. The five of them were all young people, and they became acquainted with each other as soon as they came and went. Tianhua invited the Ji brothers to play in the back hall, leaving the prince and Zigan to talk in the front hall.
The brothers of the Ji family learned to fight the ruffians as they wished, Ji Fa liked it very much, and Ji Kao had a general feeling about this game, like a child, and he preferred chess.
Everyone played around for a while, and Ji Fa suddenly smiled: "But you don't know, my brother Ji Kao's piano skills are a must in our Xiqi." ”
When Huang Yan heard this, she immediately became interested, she and Huang Xue are all incomprehensible in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but it does not prevent her from having a heart that loves music. She rejoiced, "In this way, we have a blessed ear today." ”
Ji Kao said modestly: "The three don't listen to the second brother's nonsense, my piano skills are ordinary, how can I get into the ears of the three." ”
Huang Xue said: "Brother Ji should not be modest, Second Brother Ji must be right, why don't you let me wait for it?"
Ji Kao hurriedly said: "Don't say that, it's better to be respectful than to obey your orders, but you came in a hurry, but you forgot to bring Yaoqin." ”
Tianhua said: "There is a piano in the mother's room. ”
Huang Yan said: "Since you know, don't go and get it quickly." Tianhua glanced at his sister helplessly, got up and went to get the piano.
Sitting in front of Yaoqin, everyone felt that Ji Kao's momentum suddenly changed, just like a peerless master facing a sword and a general approaching the battlefield, revealing a sense of confidence everywhere. The fluctuations between the fingers, for a moment like a mountain spring flowing water, for a moment like a river surging, everyone is stupid. At the end of the song, everyone felt that the aftermath was lingering, and although they couldn't say what was good, they all clapped their hands involuntarily.
Huang Yan praised: "Brother Ji's piano skills are really immortal, and they are slightly better than their mother. I don't think Mo said that it is a must in Xiqi, and it is a song of the dynasty, and it can be regarded as the first. ”
Ji Kao hurriedly said: "How can my piano skills be comparable to the princess, Sister Yan is really praised." ”
Huang Xue also laughed: "Brother Ji's piano sound is indeed very beautiful. It's just that the music played is too sad, and it is a little inconsistent with the relaxed and cheerful mood of today's brothers and sisters. ”
Ji Kaoqi said: "Could it be that Sister Xuexue also understands the way of music?"
Huang Xue hurriedly said: "Brother Ji, my little sister doesn't know anything about music, but she feels a little bit and just talks nonsense, big brother don't take it seriously." ”
Unexpectedly, Ji Kao was a piano idiot, and continued to ask: "The sound of Yaoqin is deep and long, so the music style has been mostly pathetic since ancient times, could it be that Sister Xue has heard any cheerful piano music?"
Huang Xue was about to continue to explain, when she suddenly squinted and saw the stick holder used to fight the ruffians on the table, and suddenly had an idea: "Brother Ji has said that the piano music has been like this since ancient times, and now it is not the ancient times, I and other young people, can't we be innovative?" The little sister has indeed heard a cheerful piano sound, it is better to hum it for Brother Ji to listen to it and see if Brother Ji can play it." ”
Tianhua and Huang Yan saw that Huang Xue could also learn with Ji Kao in music and rhythm, and suddenly had a sense of unfathomability. Ji Fa was the first time he had seen someone question his brother's way of music, and he watched with interest.
Ji Kao's eyes lit up, and he said: "Brother Fool has studied music for more than ten years, but he never thought of any innovation, Sister Xue said it very well, and today, Yaoqin's music style should be a little innovative." You will hum the songs you have heard and let your brother figure it out. ”
So, Huang Xue hummed the song she thought of with her own voice, although there was no accompaniment, but her voice in this life was like a lark, and it was quite beautiful to hum.
After listening to Huang Xue's humming, Ji Kao suddenly fell silent, and after a while, he said: "The rhythm is so fast, but how can it be played?"
Huang Xue smiled mysteriously and said, "Little sister has heard someone play, but I don't know how to play the piano, but I don't know how that person plays." ”
After listening to this, Ji Kao fell into deep thought again.
The next afternoon, just after Shenshi, the subordinates of the Wucheng Palace's mansion saw Ji Kao coming with a yaoqin on his back. The subordinates recognized that he had only come with Yaxiang yesterday, so naturally they didn't dare to stop him.
Ji Kao rushed to the back hall, but saw that his younger brother Ji Fa was fighting with Tianhua and Huang Yan, and Huang Xue was sitting aside to plan for his younger brother. As soon as he greeted everyone, he said to Huang Xue: "Sister Xue, come and listen, the piano music you heard that day is like this." ”
The next moment, Huang Xue finally entered the scene of her dreams. Here, Ji Kao happily played the classic music of the previous life's "Fighting Landlords" game with Yaoqin, although it felt a little weird, the taste was indeed right, and Tianhua, Huang Yan, and Ji Fa spit out the words of "flying chicken", "fried egg" and "shunzi" from time to time.
Nostalgia, it's really comfortable, slowly, Huang Xue's eyes moistened a little.
In the days that followed, Ji Kao completely stuck Huang Xue.
He went to the palace two days later, and listened to Huang Xue with his newly created cheerful song, completely ignoring Huang Yan and Tianhua's strange eyes when they looked at the two of them.
He also asked Huang Xue many times where he heard the rhythm that day, and Huang Xue had to infer that he was listening to an old man play it in the mountains of Jizhou, but he couldn't remember the specific location, which made Ji Kao fascinated and stunned.
After a few more days, Huang Xue couldn't stand Ji Kao's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and hummed a song again, and then stopped him again.
As soon as the little apple comes out, who competes.
In the next few days, Ji Kao didn't come back, thinking that he was aroused by the little apple, and vowed to create a song that could surpass, otherwise he wouldn't have the face to see Huang Xue again.
Huang Xue is more satisfied with this situation, if this style of music is promoted, in the future, the Heavenly Demon Ecstasy Array of the Xuanyuan Tomb Qingqiu Clan, I am afraid that there will be no market.
