Chapter 84: Untitled

In Ling Shu's bamboo pavilion, Xiao Zhiqiu listened to Liu Yi's words and was a little stunned. On that day, she didn't think about playing this song, but she didn't think about what sensation it would cause, but this is also reasonable, the king of joy today, this piece made by Boya is one of the top ten ancient songs after all, the artistic conception is wonderful, how many musicians want to find this score, suddenly there is news, and it is in Beijing, no wonder it will attract the attention of the palace.

"Then you wait a while," Xiao Zhiqiu thought that it would be more meaningful to use the guqin to perform this song, so he didn't say much, and walked to the window to call Fan Caiqian: "Cousin Qian, come over for a while." ”

Fan Caiqian was standing in the courtyard, full of suspicion that Liu Yi went into the house and didn't know what to say to Xiao Zhiqiu, but that day he suddenly came to help, and it was inevitable that he was a little restless in his heart, at this time he heard Xiao Zhiqiu call her, he was even more puzzled, but secretly happy, Liu Yi was in the house, but Xiao Zhiqiu called her, is there something that needs her help? It was a good opportunity, she took a deep breath, and walked into the house with unhurried steps.

Seeing the majestic man's heartbeat, she couldn't help but speed up slightly, she finally got a little closer to him again, Fan Caiqian bowed to him, trying her best to make her demeanor appear gentle and elegant, although she was only thirteen years old, she looked graceful, and she thought that she was not bad, she pressed the snickering joy that was about to be revealed on the surface in her heart, and then moved her eyes to look at Xiao Zhiqiu, and asked with a smile: "Cousin Zhiqiu, has something to look for me?" ”

Liu Yi looked at Fan Caiqian's eyes, his face was cold and he couldn't see any emotion, from childhood to adulthood, the women he met would inevitably have such a gaze, he was used to it and did not change his face, even if it was a noble princess, he could deal with it calmly, but looked at the woman standing in front of the window with low eyebrows, his eyes were inquisitive and thoughtful.

In Lingshu's bamboo hall, the pen and ink are complete, that is, in this guest hall, there are desks and four treasures of the study room under the bookshelves, and musical instruments such as guqin or flute are also complete.

"You play the piano well, I'll write that tune later, you play it again, I'll hear if there's anything wrong." After all, it was to be handed over to the palace, and Xiao Zhiqiu didn't dare to be careless, so he asked Fan Caiqian to play it again to ensure the accuracy of the score, and after saying this, Xiao Zhiqiu walked to the desk and sat down, grinding ink and laying paper quietly and peacefully.

Liu Yi didn't expect her to be so delicate, Boya's piece was originally a guqin song, and Xiao Zhiqiu was good at Xiao, because she thought of this, she was afraid of making a mistake, so she was cautious, and her demeanor was not flustered, even if she was grinding ink, she was very serious, he sat down casually, and quietly watched her look carefully.

Xiao Zhiqiu studied the ink, thought about it before writing down, this score is easy to play, but it takes a bit of effort to write down, the melody is turning in his mind, and he must pay attention not to write messily and poorly, so a paragraph of writing down is a must-have to ask for two teas.

Fan Caiqian's mind flipped, and suddenly she figured out the reason why Liu Yi came to Xiao Zhiqiu, it turned out to be for the score.

Looking at Xiao Zhiqiu, who lowered her brows, sometimes frowned, and sometimes contemplated, her very serious and responsible look had an attractive style, and she was born with a good appearance that made people feel pity when she saw it, Fan Caiqian couldn't help but feel a little jealous and unhappy, but in front of Liu Yi, she still pressed on it, and then smiled softly and looked back at Liu Yi.

"Liu Shizi just came out of the palace?" Liu Yi naturally wouldn't ask Xiao Zhiqiu for a score for no reason, and when Fan Caiqian thought of the influence of this song, it was not difficult to think that it was needed in the palace.

Out of politeness, Liu Yi looked at Fan Caiqian, who was a friend of Xiao Zhiqiu and Song Kai, and it was not easy not to respond, so he said lightly: "Hmm." ”

"Does this little thing also need to bother Liu Shizi? I mean, shouldn't the musicians be in charge of this music? Fan Caiqian looked up at him, trying her best to find a topic.

"The king's appointment is not easy to shirk." Liu Yi replied absentmindedly, but his gaze drifted back to the woman at the desk, thinking that she would never deliberately look for a topic, which was impatient.

"Then it must be that Liu Shizi is extremely favored, and the king will ask Liu Shizi to do even a little thing, saying that the matter of that day offended the county lord of Jinxi, and did not cause any trouble to Liu Shizi, right?"

Liu Yi looked at her sideways when he heard this, his eyes were quiet, but he couldn't help but feel weak when he saw it, "Fortunately, although the county lord is domineering, he doesn't care about scheming." The cold tone sounded like a chill, "I'm missing, I'm going to go over and see if Miss Xiao's music is ready." ”

Fan Jiqian was stunned, her expression was a little annoyed, it was Xiao Zhiqiu again, why didn't anyone notice that she liked her.

Liu Yi didn't look at her again, stood up and quietly walked behind Xiao Zhiqiu to look, originally just wanted to avoid Fan Caiqian's approach, but he didn't want to look at it, but it made him frown slightly, a strange and deep incomprehension made him deeply curious about Xiao Zhiqiu.

The notation of ancient times will be different and perfect every period of time, the music notation of the previous dynasties may not be able to be read by the people of the current dynasty, so the later generations will re-interpret the ancient notation and record it, for example, when the printing press has not yet appeared, the "text notation" is used, the early qin music score is only a handwritten volume, and after the text notation withdraws from the historical stage, the general is the "minus character notation", and there is a similar "ruler notation" in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Xiao Zhiqiu because of habits, the first recorded is the modern notation, It was then translated into the subtractive notation that was common in this era.

Liu Yi's incomprehension is incomprehensible here, not to mention the simple notation, he can't even understand those simple Arabic numerals, although he doesn't dare to say that he is well-versed in the past and the present, but the words used in the past dynasties are understood, so what are these?

Xiao Zhiqiu was immersed in his thoughts, and sang the memorized score in a low voice, before relaying a piece of paper to translate it into a minus notation, he didn't expect Liu Yi to stand behind her without saying a word and observe.

By the time she finished translating, an hour had passed, and no one could have imagined that it would take so much time to write down the score.

At this time, Liu Yi had already understood a little bit from the melody she sang in the simple notation, after all, he could understand the subtractive notation, and the two translations could basically understand what the Arabic numerals represented, but more questions were added, where did such notation come from, and where did the source of these words come from, how could Xiao Zhiqiu, a woman, know how to notation like this. He had many puzzles in his heart.

Also puzzled is Ling Shu, Ling Shu invited Xiao Zhiqiu over today to learn about the tune she played that day, who knew that he had just gone out for a while, and when he came back, he saw that Xiao Zhiqiu was already recording the score, and he was even more shocked than Liu Yi by the simple notation method "invented" by Xiao Zhiqiu.
