Yang Fei'er asked the sedan chair driver to carry the sedan chair of the three of them all the way to the Qinhuai River, where she had prepared a boat for a long time, there was enough food and wine on board, and the boatman was hired by Yang Fei'er for a lot of money, and the three of them went to the cabin.

Yuanyuan helped Li Zicheng put away the baggage he was carrying, and instructed: "Big brother, in the baggage is the change of clothes that Sister Fei'er prepared for you, as well as a little bit of silver, you should be careful on the road." Fei'er also continued: "Yes, big brother, be careful on the road, go back to Yangzhou as soon as you finish your errands, it's safer here than in the capital." ”

Li Zicheng lost his mother since he was a child, his father also died when he was 11 years old, he was lonely and helpless, he suffered from the cold eyes of the world and the torture of the world, by chance he had a good opportunity to learn a good martial arts, since then he began to wander the rivers and lakes alone, eliminate adultery and punish evil, and also met a group of brothers who are like each other, but no one has ever cared for him so carefully, such as a family care, his nose is sore, as a big man can not shed tears in front of two women.

He choked up a little: "Brother Fool is incompetent, but Brother Fool promises, with me Li Zicheng here, whoever dares to bully my two sisters, I will let him not eat and walk around." ”

Yang Fei'er was also a little sad, she had been scolding the people around her with laughter and anger, but in the face of the brother in front of her, she was speechless for a while. After a long time of reluctance between the three of them, Li Zicheng said: "Sister Xian, send you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end, don't worry, the foolish brother will come to see the two of you after finishing his work, you also have to take care of yourself, the place where you stay is better to leave early, and the foolish brother will definitely give you the best life." ”

Yang Fei'er and Yuan Yuan both got off the boat with tears in their eyes. The boat moved slowly forward, and Yuan Yuan suddenly remembered something, turned around and took out a piano from the sedan chair, and began to play the piano as a farewell. The sad song was sad to hear, Li Zicheng stood at the bow of the boat and said loudly: "The affection of the two virtuous sisters will not be forgotten in this life. ”

The boat slowly moved away, and Yang Fei'er and Yuanyuan were still staring blankly at the place where the water disappeared......

After standing for a long time, Fei'er suddenly thought that there was still a lot of work to be done in the workshop, so she pulled Yuanyuan's sleeve and said, "Yuanyuan, let's go back." "Who knew that Yuanyuan didn't react. Fei'er looked at her in wonder, she was stunned, Fei'er shouted again, and Yuanyuan muttered: "It's so beautiful, Sister Fei'er, did you hear it?" This piece is so beautiful. ”

Fei'er pricked up her ears and listened for a long time, only to faintly hear a sound of the piano, the sound from far and near, Fei'er looked up the river, and saw a small boat slowly sailing from the place where the paddy fields meet. Yuanyuan didn't understand the tune, but he also thought it was good.

The boat slowly approached the shore, Fei'er took a closer look, and the man who walked down from the boat was a man about ten or thirty years old, only to see that he was slender, his face was very kind, his face was like white jade, and he had a slight beard on it, which looked even more gentle.

He stepped forward, took a folding fan in his right hand, shook it, and asked politely: "Why don't you ask the two girls, who played the song "Hurt Farewell" just now?" Fei'er asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The man said: "The heart of the person who plays this song is full of sorrow, although the piano is a little rusty, but the heart is until, and I hear her piano sound, I feel like crying, it can be seen that the person who plays the piano has invested in real feelings, and the piano one says, the most important thing is to devote oneself to the heart, so that you can play the most beautiful tune." ”

Yuanyuan didn't answer, Fei'er's heart suddenly turned around at this time, and immediately thought of the Oiran Contest on July 7, if you can ask a master to teach Yuanyuan to play the piano, wouldn't it be great? She looked at the man in front of her for a long time, and then looked at Yuanyuan's expression, and she made up her mind in her heart.

The idea was certain, so Fei'er stepped forward and asked, "May I ask your high surname?" The little woman is not talented, her cheap name is Yang Fei'er, this is my sister Chen Yuanyuan. ”

The man groaned a little and asked, "Chen Yuanyuan?" Could it be that the two girls are the two strange women in Yangzhou City? ”

Fei'er said with a smile: "Strange women don't dare to be, they are all begging for a living, and they don't dare to let others laugh at them." ”

The man smiled heartily: "Miss Fei'er, you are so humorous, your surname is Yu, your name is good, and your words are in the wind." I heard the names of the two girls for a long time, and when I saw them today, they were really different, if Miss Meng didn't dislike them, they could go to the Drunken Immortal Building to drink a few glasses. ”

Fei'er had the heart to get acquainted with this young man, so she readily agreed, but Yuanyuan didn't speak, just looked thoughtful.

The three of them came to the drunken fairy building, the round beauty is really the country and the city, as soon as she got off the sedan chair, countless passers-by looked at her, and even the roadside pear sellers were looking at her, Fei'er thought to herself, beauty is good, and the return rate is high. Look at the young man, he didn't care about this, but very humbly opened the way for the two of them in front. Good gentleman, Fei'er praised it in her heart.

Yu Gongzi ordered a few kinds of wine and food, Fei Er saw that the quality of the dishes on this table was not low, and then looked at this Yu Gongzi, who was elegant and atmospheric, such a man is really the best, Fei Er ** thought.

During the banquet, Yuanyuan asked Yu Fengzhi: "Dare to ask what kind of song Gongzi just played, the concubine listened to this song, and when she first appeared, she felt light and lively, and after hearing it, the style of music gradually changed, can Gongzi tell me about this song next?" ”

Speaking of the song he played just now, Yu Fengzhi talked eloquently: "No, what I just played is Yangchun Baixue, which is composed by Shi Kuang, a musician of the Jin Kingdom or Liu Juanzi of the Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period. "White Snow" takes the awe-inspiring and clean, and the sound of snow and bamboo is colorful. The allusion to Yangchun Baixue comes from the article "Song Yu Answers the Question of the King of Chu" in "Chu Ci". King Chu Xiang asked Song Yu, does Mr. have any hidden virtues? Why don't the scholars praise you so much? Song Yu said that there were singers in the Yingzhong of the Chu State, and at first they sang the Riba people, and there were thousands of people in the country. When the singers sang Yang Ashulu, there were only a few hundred people in the country. When the singers sang 'Spring and White Snow', there were only dozens of people in the country. When some difficult techniques are added to the song, that is, 'leading merchants and carving feathers, mixed with liuzhi', there are only three people in the country. Song Yu's conclusion is that it is its qu and its high, and its harmony and widowhood. The more elegant and complex songs such as 'Yangchun Baixue', the fewer people who can sing and harmonize, that is, the allusion of Qu Gao and Oligoyangchun Baixue illustrates the huge differences in aesthetic taste and aesthetic ability between different appreciators. The more artistic the piece is, the fewer people will be able to enjoy it. I have to admit that this difference has a lot to do with the subjective taste of the appreciator, and sometimes it is difficult to get an objective and fair evaluation. As Ge Hong of the Western Jin Dynasty pointed out in the book "Guang Xu": It is good to observe and hear, but it is difficult to love and hate. For those who are accustomed to listening to the song of Sangjian Pushang and the voice of the lower riba people, of course, they can't understand the nobility and elegance of Yangchun Baixue and Huang Zhongdalu. In this respect, there is not much difference between ancient and modern. Today's people appreciate music, most of them are 'good for the ear, and the right for the heart'. ”

He said so much in one breath, to the effect that Yang Fei'er understood it, she thought to herself: This person not only plays the piano well, but also has such a great knowledge, if Yuanyuan can get his help, wouldn't it be the best? ”

Yang Fei'er thought about it all her life, and put forward this idea at that time, and thought about it slightly, and said: "I am not a person who is bound by red tape, but because I also have something to do at home, I can only stay in Yangzhou for a few days. ”

Yang Fei'er was so happy, she was going to invite Yu Fengzhi to go to the Liulianfang Courtyard at that time, but Yu Fengzhi was not modest, and went to Liulianfang with them after paying for the meal.

In the days that followed, Yuanyuan followed Yu Fengzhi to learn piano skills, and Yang Fei'er was in full swing to prepare for the Oiran competition, and the days were also fulfilling.
