Chapter 151: Old Musician

As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.

Xu Haohao is a professional musician in the end, she asked Yao Huan to play the simplified version of "Lin'an Resentment" paragraph by paragraph, only occasionally asked Yao Huan to stop, glanced at which string Yao Huan used, or asked what fingering to use, most of the time, Xu Haohao only listened with his ears, he could quickly put down the pen, with the words "Shang, Ruler, Gong, Fan", etc., write down the position of the strings corresponding to each note, as well as the strength of the fingering.

Yao Huan said in his heart, this is the ruler spectrum that has been commonly used in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Music has appeared in human civilization since a very early age, but how to record fleeting and beautiful music, that is, the so-called notation method, has puzzled mankind for a long time.

Not counting the simple notation with Arabic numerals as the element, there are actually only two excellent and scientific notation methods recognized by musicians from all over the world.

One is the stave that was perfected after the Italian Renaissance, and the other is the ruler notation and minus character notation that the Chinese have used in ancient times.

Unlike the way stave uses lines and symbols, the Chinese notation method uses "characters", including radicals.

The unique, complex and scientific structure of Chinese characters makes it possible to express the position of strings, the pitch of the tone, the characteristics of fingering, and the way of playing for different instruments.

After Yao Huan saw with his own eyes how a female musician of the Song Dynasty memorized scores, he sighed again in his heart, no wonder Chinese are generally smarter.

Abacus, abacus, ruler score, chopsticks...... In all areas of human life, Chinese are using such tools and methods to develop the brain, how can they be brain-dead.

In this way, the two sides cooperated, and when he just handed over the application, Xu Hao memorized the score.

She got up and bowed deeply to Yao Huan: "The master has a saying, we are happy, and we have to give a good score, which is equivalent to the grandfather appreciating food." ”

Because he took out the silk bag that he had just entered the house to prepare: "This is two hundred Wen, please smile at it." ”

Yao Huan was stunned, still have money to take?

The ancients were really courteous.

However, how to take her money, she has such a hard time. What's more, this score is not original to me......

Master Li said in a gentle voice: "Yao Niangzi accept it, this is indeed the rule of the industry, those who practice art, the rules are bigger than the sky, and they must not lose their dignity." ”

Yao Huan had to thank him and accept the money at the same time.

Although this Xu Haohao is not as beautiful as Master Li, and his temper is also big, he is indeed a decent person in his bones.

Originally, Yao Huan would also worry about whether he would make a simple statement about his proposal to cooperate with Master Li. Unexpectedly, after saying goodbye to Xu Haohao in the last return to Fenghelou, Master Li took the initiative to reveal his intention to Yao Huan, and he really fell in Yao Huan's arms.

Yao Huan is of course willing to help Master Li today.

She then stared and said, "Since the two of you have such attainments in piano, zheng, and singing, why don't you open a private school together to teach music?" ”

"Private school?" Xu Hao raised his eyebrows, looked at Yao Huan quietly, and waited for her to continue.

Yao Huan continued: "My restaurant used to hold a wine banquet for the palace, and I went to deliver the dishes. Later, I went to the Imperial Dining Center for a few days. I heard that the palace attendants will not only call for banquets and food from the market, but also call artists to rap or play music in the palace from the tiles, and not only rely on the teaching workshop. ”

Master Li understood and nodded: "That's true, such a person is called a person who should be called." ”

Xu Hao sneered lightly, and also spoke: "When the dynasty was first established, the Jiaofang was originally subordinate to the Xuanhui Academy, and it was led by two internal eunuchs. Yuanfeng reform, the workshop was returned to the provincial temple of the foreign dynasty, the foreign ministers led it, the leader of the workshop, although the slave of the Son of Heaven became a courtier, the waist of the people in the workshop was also straighter than in the past, but gradually, it was more in charge of things, less of the officer, a good rehearsal of the song no one Zhang Luo, the ability of the workshop people, since more and more people who are not listed in the market. ”

Obviously, she doesn't think that her level is inferior to that of the people in the inner teaching workshop. It could even be much higher.

Yao Huan didn't think Xu Hao was bragging. First, the affirmation of Zhao Mingcheng and other small scribes that day has confirmed Xu Haohao's level, and secondly, this is also an inevitable result of the vigorous development of market culture in the Northern Song Dynasty.

What Xu Hao said, isn't it that state-run hotels and those restaurants that fully participate in market competition?

If you don't have public money to support you, you have to work hard and earn a living in the free market.

Why do you come out of the cow? That's because, I don't know how many venues have been opened in Quankaifeng. If you don't speak well, sing badly, and play the wrong version, the people of Kaifeng won't pay you money, and you will starve to death.

The artists of Goolan Tile, when they were just starting out, neither had an official document from the imperial court asking the people of all squares to check in, nor did they spend hundreds of millions of dollars on godfathers and godmothers, and invited a group of actors who were both virtuous and artistic to play supporting roles, and held a protagonist who couldn't play anything except for beautiful facial features.

These artists rely on their real skills, and they get a cheer and a reward.

Yao Huan then picked up Xu Haohao's words: "That is the case, whether it is in the palace, or in the market, and in the homes of Beijing officials, there is a need for young servants and musicians who have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, why don't the two ladies open a private school like those masters who teach storytelling and miscellaneous dramas." Also...... You don't have to be idle in the main restaurant. ”

Xu Hao was silent, as if he was pondering, and then looked at Master Li and said, "What do you think?" ”

Senior Master Li was also frank: "Little Senior Sister, when I return to Beijing this time, I don't want to go back to the days of the powerful minister's house. Now in the Great Song Dynasty, people like you and me are all good books, why can't they be like those masters who teach the scriptures and righteousness, and also have the word "gentleman"? ”

Yao Huan smiled and began to boast about himself: "Although I am only a three-legged cat kung fu with half a bucket of water in terms of music, my cooking skills have also been rewarded to the Queen Mother and the Queen, and the official family also wrote a royal pen for my drink." I went to Donghua Gate to see the shop before, there is a critical two-story building, originally used as a main store, the rent is five times a month. Because it is dozens of times the amount of public housing, I can't afford it alone, so I have the idea of looking for public housing, and I don't want my teacher to say that the public housing of the imperial court is only for accommodation. In this way, the two ladies may be able to share a room with me, and teach the ladies piano and songs on the second floor. How about opening a shop for me on the first floor, selling drinks and food? ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a man's voice with the quality of gold and jade behind her: "There is a small garden courtyard by Jinming Pond, and the monthly rent must be thirty yuan. The entrance of the market outside Donghua Gate, five times a month, is indeed not expensive. ”

Yao Huan turned around.

When I saw the face of the person who came, I couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw an old and thin man with a white beard coming out of the inner room, but listening to his voice, he should be at least twenty years younger than Su Song, and he was about fifty.

And the reason that shocked Yao Huan was that this man's face was full of scars.

"How did the master get up?" Xu Hao hurriedly said to the man.

"Listen to your lively talk, get up and see. Mrs. Yao, did the old man scare you? I'm so sorry. ”

His voice is deep, moist, and steady, and it is refreshing to hear.

Yao Huan was comforted by such a voice, and felt that he should be sorry for himself, and he should not be surprised by his face.

Yao Huan was deeply blessed: "The younger generation doesn't know, how do you call Mr.?" ”

She raised her eyes and looked at the man generously, trying to make amends for what she had just done.

As soon as his eyes met, Yao Huan's horror turned into surprise.

His gaze felt similar.

The man's eyes were full of kindness, and he said to Yao Huan: "Old man Zhao Rong, I should have come out to meet Mrs. Yao today and thank you for my disciple." ”
