In the past ten days, Chi Xin and Xiaocui can dance from beginning to end of the "phoenix tail dance", although it is still a little jerky, but it has already made Chi Yue extremely satisfied.

After another ten or twenty days of practice, they will dance more and more skillfully, and dance out of a beautiful and moving charm.

Chi Xin and Xiaocui were also very happy, they never expected that they would also learn to dance, and like those daughters, they could also swing their bodies wantonly and change their graceful figures, which was eye-catching.

When they danced, they suddenly became a different person, the one they liked more.

They thought that they had overcome the difficulty of learning the basics, so that everything would be fine, and the next training would be easy. But they didn't know that Chi Yue still had something that distressed her.

There is a dance, but who accompanies the song?

In her previous life, she had only studied dance, but she had no knowledge of music and instruments.

And "Phoenix Tail Bamboo in the Moonlight" is the most appropriate to play with gourd silk, but here, she has never seen anyone use this kind of instrument, but she is accustomed to using guzheng, drums, suona, pipa, flute Xiao and erhu.

When asked the others, they said they had never heard of the instrument.

When he was depressed, Mu Chen came to Chi Yue's house as a guest again.

Chi Yue thought that he had traveled all over Kyushu and had seen a lot, and he might have heard of this musical instrument from the Dai clan, so he asked him tentatively, "Mu Chen, have you ever heard of this musical instrument?" I also heard others mention it, I heard that this instrument is crisp and pleasant, tactful to listen, and easy to learn, playing some mountain song tunes is very suitable, I really want to see it, try it yourself. ”

Mu Chen raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Girl, you really asked the right person this time." When I went to the southwestern border, I saw them a few times, and I heard them play a lot of tunes with this instrument, and it was really crisp and beautiful. If you like, I can bring you a few next time I go. ”

Chi Yue frowned, Mu Chen will go to the southwest next time, but it is a matter of Ma Yue in the Year of the Monkey. She's going to race next month, so where can she wait so long?

Chi Yue sighed, ready to tell the truth to Mu Chen, thought about it, but swallowed the words back.

What about telling him? Not only did it not help, but it also inevitably added a psychological burden to him, making him feel guilty that he didn't help her.

You don't need to use gourd silk, can you also use other musical instruments to play? Why does she have to be so brainless and inflexible?

With this in mind, she decided that she would just find a musician who would decide which instrument to use.

Mu Chen heard that Chi Yue was looking for a musician, and said: "I think of a person, if you can invite him, then you will definitely be able to shine in this competition and give yourself extra points." With his face, I think you will definitely not be eliminated in the preliminary round. ”

Chi Yue was surprised, "Who has such a big face?" ”

"This person is the famous Qu Lao in Kyushu." Mu Chen said, "He is now living in seclusion in Yunxia Mountain in Linxian County, but two years ago he was the most prestigious court musician in the capital, and many large-scale court programs were arranged by him, which was very important and courteous to the emperor of the previous dynasty." ”

"Why, then, did he leave the court and go into seclusion in the countryside?" Chi Yue asked curiously.

Mu Chen sighed, "It's just that it's just because of the dispute between the emperor and King Jing." At the beginning, King Jing fled and guarded the southwest corner, and the emperor was determined to attack. Many people played, asking the emperor to ask King Jing for reconciliation, turning hostility into jade silk, not to waste money and money, and regenerate war. The emperor not only disagreed, but also degraded or exiled these people, thinking that they would help King Jing speak, so it was very likely that he would unite with King Jing and get rid of them as soon as possible. When Qu Lao played alone for the emperor, he played and sang Cao Zhi's "Seven Steps Poem" for him.

Just when the emperor and King Jing were on the strings, Qu Lao made up this piece to play, and its intention was self-evident. The emperor was furious, but he didn't remember the old feelings, drove Qu Lao out of the court, stripped him of all his positions, and regained all his glory. Qu Lao returned to his hometown and built a few bamboo houses in Yunxia Mountain, intending to be like this for the rest of his life. ”

After hearing this, Chi Yue also felt unjust about it.

It's a pity that such talents are buried in the countryside.

Chi Yue said that she was willing to go to invite Qu Lao out of the mountain.

Mu Chen shook his head slightly, "I want to invite him out, but it's not that easy." It is reported that every time he went to Futai and the magistrate, there were other large and small characters who went to invite him more than once, but he refused to go out of the mountain. I think it's futile for you and me to go. ”

Chi Yue pondered for a while, and said firmly: "How do you know if you don't try?" Maybe he is unwilling to work hard for the people in the court, but he is willing to work for the welfare of ordinary people? ”

Seeing her insistence, Mu Chen stopped hitting her, "Then I'll wait for good news." ”

The next day, Chi Yue followed the route Mu Chen said, went all the way to Yunxia Mountain, went deep into the jungle, and looked for those bamboo houses in all directions.

When he entered a bamboo forest with yellow leaves and still tough stalks, under the pines and cypresses, and saw those elegant bamboo houses, Chi Yue firmly believed that this was Qu Lao's retreat.

The faint feelings of the literati and artists are revealed everywhere, and the strong poetry is filled with clouds and mist in all directions, and the quiet sound of the piano in the jungle is scattered, lingering on the tips of grass and bamboo.

The sound of this piano, tactful and calm, seems to have experienced a hundred years of vicissitudes, precipitating a trickling stream, which is particularly delicious and mellow.

Pursuing the sound of the piano, Chi Yue found the person she was looking for.

Under the bamboo forest in front of him, there is an old man with white hair sitting upright, plucking the strings of the piano, coming and going freely, as if the qin is him, he is the qin, and the piano is one, regardless of each other.

He was completely intoxicated by the sound of the piano, and for a long time, he seemed to be unaware of Chi Yue's arrival.

After waiting for a song, Qu Lao Fang looked up and saw Chi Yue.

But just a glance, he took the tea handed over by the servant on the side, took a sip, got up and walked to the bamboo house.

"Qu Lao, please wait!" Chi Yue ran forward, but was stopped halfway by the little guy.

"You little girl, what are you looking for us to do with Qu Lao?" The little guy was full of doubts, "Do you know who our Qu Lao is, how can you say that you can see it?" If there is anything to do, just go down the mountain to find someone else to do, and don't disturb his old man's house. ”

Chi Yue knew that she would encounter such a scene, and she didn't defend herself, so she simply stood in place and began to hum, "The phoenix-tailed bamboo in the moonlight is soft and beautiful, like a green mist; The good girl in the bamboo building, dazzling like a pearl of the night......"

The tune is the same as the lyrics, and it is hummed out by Chi Yue, like the real moonlight permeating the bamboo forest, it is so soft and tactful, and it is so moving.

Qu Lao's steps in front of him actually stopped halfway and quietly listened to the sound of heaven.

When Chi Yue finished singing, Qu Lao turned around and walked over to her, "Where did the little girl get this song?" ”

Seeing that Qu Lao was willing to talk to the visitor, the little guy hurriedly withdrew his hand and no longer blocked Chi Yue.

Chi Yue bowed respectfully to him, and said with a smile: "This is a tune that the little girl heard from the south, and it is intended to be used to match the dance in order to participate in the song and dance competition next month." But the little girl really can't find someone to play this tune, and when she heard about your reputation, she planned to come over and ask you to help the little girl, and to accompany the little girl. ”

Before Qu Lao could answer, the little guy on the side sneered and preemptively said: "Hmph, you girl is so bold, dare to ask Qu Lao to accompany you to cheer up?" Do you know that in the past, only the emperor could hear Qu Lao's personal performance? Are you more noble than the emperor? ”

If this is said to the rest of the ancients, it will have a deterrent effect. But Chi Yue is a modern person, and when she hears the emperor's name, she just thinks of the image in the TV series, that's all, and she doesn't feel the slightest fear.

She raised her eyebrows, "Yangchun and white snow, the lower riba people, people are not distinguished from high and low, but in terms of musical attainments, they can be clearly distinguished, divided into three, six, nine and so on." If you want to come to the old man Gao Badou, he is only willing to play it to people who can understand the meaning of his song and have the same noble interests as him. Today, the emperor understands the meaning of Qu Lao's song, but it is very different from Qu Lao's interests, it is because of you that you parted ways, and the end of the world will be separated forever. My song "Phoenix Tail Bamboo in the Moonlight", you stop and listen to it, which shows that you appreciate this tune very much. In this way, we can also be regarded as meeting in the song and becoming bosom friends. Qu Lao, since you are a bosom friend, why don't you sit down with me and have a good chat? Even if you don't have the opportunity to get Qu Lao out of the mountain, being able to sit and talk with Qu Lao is also a blessing for the little girl in this life. ”

Chi Yue was in a hurry to invite Qu Lao out of the mountain, sat down and talked in detail, and slowly said that it was not too late to move him.

Originally, she thought that Qu Lao would hesitate for a moment and then reply to her, but she didn't think about it, but the old man immediately agreed, "Akiyama, go make a pot of tea." This girl, I don't know your surname? Please sit here. ”

Chi Yue reported his name and sat down opposite Qu Lao at a stone table.

The little guy brought the tea, and it was incredible.

Countless dignitaries and nobles came to see Qu Lao in an endless stream, but Qu Lao Ju couldn't see them one by one, even if he did, he was extremely indifferent, and he didn't even offer a cup of tea, just hoping that the people would leave quickly.

Only a few like-minded people who are highly accomplished in music can make him sit down and talk about it in detail.

At this time, she is just an ordinary little girl, and she is just a nice tune humming casually, what's the big deal? He really couldn't figure it out.

However, since he is a person that Qu Lao likes, he must have his advantages, and he does not dare to slack off, so he just pours tea for the two of them.

"I wonder if Miss Chi has a score for this song?" Qu Lao asked straight to the point.

Anyone could see that he was very interested in this music, and he couldn't wait to take the score and play it immediately.

Chi Yue shook her head, "I can only hum, and I don't have any music scores or anything like that." Even the gourd silk that played it at that time, I heard that we couldn't find it here, and no one could play it. ”

She deliberately said gourd silk to test that there could be such things in Qu Lao's place.
