Chapter Sixty-Eight: A Cheeky Talented Girl
Although Chen Xiuyan doesn't know how to sing, it is very easy to memorize tunes, and she has a lot of tunes adapted from Tang and Song poems in her head, which are the results of the combination of modern music and ancient characters.
Especially her grandmother is an archaeology professor, she has not studied ancient music notation, and she wants to use such skills now.
"Doctor Chen, this, this song you, are you sure to let us sing it in Hongyuelou?" Although the old bustard said modestly and uncertainly, his hands were already firmly holding the paper with the music written on it.
"It's all women, and it's not easy for you." Chen Xiuyan's words just moved the old bustard, and then he beat the person back to reality, "What's more, I don't give it for nothing, I have to give money if the results are good." ”
"Give, how much?" The bustard asked in a low voice.
"I don't want more, I'll harvest thirty percent." Chen Xiuyan stretched out three fingers and gestured, "The profit income on the day of the Kaiwen Conference is thirty percent, and then you use this song, I will not charge any more fees, on the contrary, I will also help with the planning of the Wenhui." ”
"Although I can't sing, I'm very good at arrangement, and there will be more songs for you in Hongyue Lou after I have one, and I'll only give it to you, how about it, it's very cost-effective." Chen Xiuyan asked with a smile.
"Planning?" The bustard didn't understand very well.
"Meeting friends with literature, as long as Hongyue Building plays this signboard, it is held every ten days and attracts readers, so there are usually no guests to come to the door?"
"Every ten must come out with a new song, play a new play, I will design the story of the opera, this song Wen Niang will learn to sing first, and when I come next time, I will also bring the drama copywriting, and then my mother will decide whether to cooperate or not."
"Oh, oh." The old bustard really couldn't make a decision, but looking at Chen Xiuyan's gaze, he was already looking at the baby.
wrapped ten taels of silver for Chen Xiuyan, personally sent people out of the door, and sent them to the donkey cart driven by Luo Mingqing.
"Ming and Qing Dynasties, go to the Wang's Mansion, and after picking up Mingxin, we will go to Leyinju." Luo Mingxin's guqin Chen Xiuyan still remembers it, she is not easy to choose who doesn't know how to play, that time she was dazzled directly, and she couldn't distinguish between good and bad when she heard someone play the test timbre, and finally decided to let Luo Mingxin try it himself.
Luo Mingxin didn't expect that the little aunt would come in person today, and after learning that she was going to take herself to buy the piano, she was visibly excited.
Leyinju is the largest piano shop in Yijiang County, I heard that it is an ancestral craft, and the ancestors have been musicians in the court, that is, there are no outstanding descendants, and they can only be luthiers wholeheartedly.
Luo Mingxin just started to get in touch, and practiced the rhythm with Mr. Qin's guqin in the women's school, which belongs to people who have not yet started, and bought an ordinary guqin, she plucked the strings and listened to the sound, and chose the subtle and rich one that Mr. Qin said, and it cost eighteen taels.
Chen Xiuyan handed the extra two taels to Luo Mingxin, and Luo Mingxin accepted it.
But the next night, when Luo Mingxin came back, Chen Xiuyan received a gift from Luo Mingxin, a pair of gold studs, which did not weigh much, but were made of gold.
"Little aunt, thank you, this is a gift from me to you, it's not very expensive, don't dislike it, little aunt." Luo Mingxin gave a gift, his face was generous, but there was still a little shyness in his eyes.
"Just kidding, it's made of gold, who would dislike it, that's not a fool." Chen Xiuyan liked it very much, and immediately put it on, "How is it?" ”
"Beautiful." Luo Ming said honestly, "The little aunt looks good, and she looks good in anything." ”
In the evening, Luo Wenqian watched Chen Xiuyan take off the earrings cherished and collect them, the smile on his face never stopped, and a trace of thoughtfulness flashed in his eyes.
In the next few days, Chen Xiuyan found that Luo Wenqian would write in the study for two hours every night, and several times he fell asleep and was still in the study, if he didn't wake up the next day, Luo Wenqian was next to him, Chen Xiuyan didn't know if this person didn't sleep the night before, so hard to study, it seems that the pressure of the township test is still very great.
Chen Xiuyan usually writes stories during the day, and when there is only one person left in the family, Chen Xiuyan has learned about the market, and a play is the longest hour, but because dramas are generally expressed by drinking, the ups and downs of the plot are all expressed in this way, Chen Xiuyan estimated the number of words and time, and wrote a play in five days.
What do ordinary men like, the title of the gold list, the flower candle in the cave room, that is the imperial examination and marriage, but the most encouraging and attractive thing is that the hard study of the cold window finally became famous, married a beautiful wife, and the future is bright.
But the ancients got married early, paying attention to starting a family first and then starting a business, in order to prevent the bad wife from going to court, Chen Xiuyan also specially beautified the male protagonist, and at the same time taught his wife to forge ahead, the husband and wife raised their eyebrows and made progress together, even if the title of the gold list resolutely refused the plan to stop his wife and remarry.
After Chen Xiuyan finished writing the story, she took the eight-treasure porridge she made to Aunt Yuan, and asked which woman in the huge Luojiatang Village had the most connotation, and it had to be Mrs. Yuan.
"What did you do?" Granny Su is accustomed to Chen Xiuyan's actions of coming to the door from time to time and often sending food to her.
"Eight treasure porridge." Chen Xiuyan raised her eyebrows and said.
"It's a nice name." Granny Su saw the so-called eight-treasure porridge, which was not much different from Laba porridge.
"I've got something better here." Chen Xiuyan took out a stack of paper full of words, "I wrote a play, and I want Aunt Yuan and Granny Su to palm your hands for me?" ”
"You can also write plays?" Granny Su was a little surprised, "Mrs. Luo is really an all-rounder, not only has superb medical skills and outstanding cooking skills, but I didn't expect to have such talent?" ”
"Granny Su's praise for 'all-rounder' is right, but I don't just have these, there are more advantages that have not been shown, and Granny Su will find more of my shining points in the future." Chen Xiuyan accepted unceremoniously.
Granny Su laughed directly, "Madam, come out and meet this thick-skinned 'talented girl'." ”
Mrs. Yuan shook her fan and came out of her room and went to the hall, "What made my family's Su Niang, who has not seen a smile for a hundred years, laugh?" I'll have to take a good look. ”
Mrs. Yuan watched Chen Xiuyan's story, and Luo Nier brought pastries and tea.
The pace is steady and regular, the eyebrows are low, and the attitude is respectful, this is the first time she has seen Luo Ni'er since her own yard, Chen Xiuyan was a little surprised, and felt that it should be taken for granted.
After waiting for the others to go out, Chen Xiuyan looked at Granny Su and gave a thumbs up, "You are the master, this makes people change their sex." ”
"The foundation can still be turned around, otherwise I wouldn't have taken people in my hands at the beginning, but there are not many days, and I still need to teach for a few more days." Granny Su said, "Let's talk about the talented girl's play, ma'am, how do you see it?" ”
"Xiuyan doesn't know enough about men." Mrs. Yuan said with a smile after reading it, "How thin and cool men are in the world, it is not easy to find such love and righteousness as in the play, it is not easy to find." ”
