Li Siye carried the long-tube suona back to the courtyard of the Duhu Mansion, and began to think about how to transform it into the characteristics of modern suona, only in this way can the two suona songs in his mind play their due characteristics. He disassembled the entire suona into three parts, the first part being the part that made the whistle. This is made of bamboo and wood, and the sound sounds low, which does not conform to the timbre of the current suona, and the real ideal is actually a reed.

It happened that there were reed poles on the bank of the river on the desert outside the city of Tingzhou, so he specially went to the river outside the city to pick some reeds, and specially found a sandalwood tree, and handed it to the craftsman who made the bow back in the armory mansion for the Jiedu envoy, and drew a drawing for him to do it according to the pattern.

He returned to the house and replaced the bamboo and wood on the whistle with a reed pole and made a tentative repair. The person who blows the suona must be able to repair the whistle by himself, because the adjustment of the whistle is completely based on the strength of the individual's voice, and the one that suits him is the best.

It also took a lot of effort and a lot of whistles to waste, he combined the long pole made by the craftsman master with the copper horn mouth, and finally continued to adjust it to complete the transformation from ancient suona to modern suona.

He tried to blow twice on the bench in the yard, and then two urchins ran out of nowhere, grabbing the wall with both hands and poking out half of their heads, peeking at their father-in-law what strange noises were playing.

Li Siye turned his head from the stool and beckoned to the two children with a smile: "Chongyun, Chongbao, come to Grandpa's side." ”

The two children were a little scared of him, probably because he often went out to fight or wander, and was away from home for a long time, and even when he was at home, he was not often with the children. Their attitude towards their father-in-law was learned almost from the eyes of their servants.

The servants are more in awe of General Li, who is not often at home, if only the lady and Li Mei'er are at home, the state of the servants will be very relaxed, because the gentleness of the women in the lady makes them not feel the edge, especially since she became a mother, the former female swordsman has become more and more gentle. But once General Li Siye returned home, everyone would become nervous and would clean carefully, and the housekeeper Wu Niangzi also seemed to be chattering, rendering the tense air to the extreme, as if he was the cold and brutal feudal patriarch.

They wanted to run over and listen to the familiar and unfamiliar grandfather blowing suona up close, but they were afraid to approach him, so they had to look up at the eyes of the nurse standing next to them.

However, the sound that came out of the suona was intermittent and unmelody, very loud and loud, but it was difficult to hear, and the two children frowned and ran away again.

A succession of servants came out of the corner, and then quickly dodged and walked, until the housekeeper Wu Niangzi walked to Li Siye's side, and said in a tactful tone: "Ah Lang, the lady asked me to pass a message to you, if you have to make this kind of sound, go outside and blow it, this thing is too loud, it will affect her and the child's rest." ”

Li Siye smiled and nodded, it seems that he will go to the river to practice in the future. "Okay, I see, I'll go out for a while."

He got up from his stool and was about to turn away. Wu Niangzi sighed again and again, Li Siye turned around and asked: "Is there anything wrong, if there is something, just say it directly, you have worked hard at home for so many years, I will definitely do it for you." ”

Wu Niangzi shyly dared to say: "Ah Lang, there is indeed a thing, the slave maid has a son, who did business on the Western Regions Road for several years in his early years and made a lot of family business, but later he was deceived into the gambling house, lost the money he had saved, and ran all the way to Beiting in order to avoid debts. The slave maid wants to get a job for him in the army, so she wants to ask Ah Lang ......"

Finally encountered something involving human affection, Wu Niangzi never opened up to herself at home because of her family's affairs, no matter what his son's character is, he definitely wants to help with this favor.

"Oh, Wu Niangzi, do you want him to make meritorious contributions in the army, or are you willing to let him stay in the capital protection mansion and receive a share of the money in An'an?"

Wu Niangzi replied without thinking: "It's better to stay in the capital protection mansion in peace, his body is not good, and he can't stand things with his family." Ah Lang, otherwise, I'll bring him over for you to see. ”

Li Siye felt that it didn't matter if he didn't see him, if he was not satisfied with other people's children, could he still go back, if he didn't see it, it would seem that he was too perfunctory, so he had to nod and said: "Okay, after dinner this afternoon, you take him to my study to meet." ”

He ran to the river outside the city to practice suona, and kept groping for the feeling of the past, which finally made him blow a coherent tone of modulation and frustration. Especially in front of the sunset, the golden light sprinkled on the opposite Gobi beach, the abandoned beacon built in the Han Dynasty also stood on the opposite bank, the fort body was blown out of a round layered sense by the wind and sand, coupled with the dusk sunset afterglow. When the tone of the suona was high-pitched, a kind of desolate and heavy historical precipitation was urged by him.

If you want to go to the sky, you will leave home and see the moon twice. I don't know where to stay tonight, and Pingsha is uninhabited. This is a poem by his subordinate Cen Shen.

After practicing him like this for another ten days and a half months, he would be able to reach the level of those Zoroastrian Sogdian funeral blowing teams, but using this level to please and dedicate to the emperor is not enough at all, but it will make people laugh and criticize. He had to play another sound, which had nothing to do with the wedding and funeral.

After it was dark, Li Siye returned to the Jiedu Envoy's mansion and sat in the study with the noodle soup brought by the servant. Then he crossed his knees and lit the oil lamp on the desk, and looked at the art of war book in the dim light.

At this time, Mrs. Wu walked outside the door, knocked lightly on the door panel and said, "Ah Lang, the slave asks to see you." ”

"Oh, Mrs. Wu, come in."

Wu Niangzi squeaked open the door, stared at the back, and then walked into the door alone, squatted at Li Siye and said, "Ah Lang, I will bring my son to see you." ”

Li Siye put down the book, threw it on the desk and sat upright, and said to Mrs. Wu with a smile: "Invite Ah Lang of the Wu family in." ”

Wu Niangzi turned her head and glanced out of the door, only then did a man in a shabby robe cross the threshold and walk in, his head bowed, his hands and fingers pinched together, looking very restrained.

It is possible for any person to be nervous in front of authority, and although he is in his thirties this year, there are aspects that may not be able to grow for the rest of his life.

He suddenly realized that he should salute, and hurriedly stepped forward and crossed his hands: "Villain Wu Liumeng see Ah Lang." ”

Li Siye looked down at Wu Liumeng's appearance, he looked thin, with fleshless cheeks and a sharp chin. This is really unpleasant, if you go to the officialdom, I am afraid that there will be no achievements in this life. Although Li Siye is not a person who judges people by his appearance, his appearance is really unlikeable.

But you can't deny a person because of other people's appearance, for example, Feng Changqing, not only lame but also more sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, but people have unique ways to fight and use soldiers. Therefore, this Wu Liumeng is willing to do things in a down-to-earth manner, and Li Siye naturally takes into account Wu Niangzi's face and constantly promotes him.

"Wu Alang, don't be polite, after your aunt asked me this afternoon, I pondered for a long time, and it happened that there was a vacancy in the military staff of the Metropolitan Protectorate, so you will temporarily serve as a military officer in the Metropolitan Protectorate."
