Fu Nian returned to Daliang City with the army, and it has been ten days. Xinlingjun was worshiped as the prime minister because of his achievements in breaking the Qin, and the five cities of the city were sealed.

These five cities are located in Tao County, and after Wei Ying and Chu Guochun Shenjun met in Anling, the Wei and Chu coalition forces sent troops to Shangsi and captured Pinglu, one of the five capitals of Qin and Qi.

This Tao County was originally the fief of Marquis Wei Ran, located between the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Wei.

Pavilions, rockeries and flowing water.

The courtyard is quiet, and a bluestone pavilion sits in it. The green bamboo is in the background, and the fragrance is bursting.

There was a girl in the pavilion, she was dressed in a goose yellow dress, her hair was combed, and her childish spirit had not been taken off.

There was a piano in front of her, and Yu Chan'er sat on the side, her slender white fingers caressing the strings, and the sound of the piano was melodious and tactful, like the gurgling water of a stream.

"Sister Yu'er, your piano skills have improved a lot." The boy next to him had a smile as warm as jade.

"It's good to read my brother's teaching." Yu Chan'er raised her head and smiled sweetly at the boy.

He had only taught her eight of the 54 fingering techniques of the subtracted notation, and she had been able to use them in various variations.

Yu Chan'er has a great talent in the way of silk and bamboo, as if she was born to pluck the strings.

"Sister Yu'er, since you learn poetry and music with me, I should teach you with all my heart." Pray for a gentle and gentle way.

Zi said: Flourish in poetry, stand in ceremony, become musical, and learn poetry first if you want to know music. Poetry and words, singing and singing, singing and singing, rhythm and harmony. ”

"The joy of the Xige Tian's family, one is to carry the people, the second is to carry the birds, the third is to be grass and trees, the fourth is to strive for five grains, the fifth is to respect the heavens, the sixth is to build the emperor's merits, the seventh is to rely on the virtues, and the eighth is the extreme of the total birds and beasts. This is the unity of poetry and music, the song of harmony of all things. ”

Fu Nian slowly expressed his understanding of poetry.

"Yu'er remembered." Yu Chan'er said seriously.

Fu Nian bowed slightly, his eyes were soft, and he looked at the green bamboo and Qushui in the distance.

Zi said: "Poems" three hundred, in a word. He said: 'Thinking is innocent'. It is the old pleasure so that it becomes a nature, and the joy of teaching it is to soothe its filth and suppress its floating. ”

"I teach you to defend the wind and Qiao, I use poetry to speak, and you use music to harmonize."

Fu Nian's voice was extremely slow, and his tone was low and pleasant, like a trickle of water spilling out of his throat.

Zhan Bi Qiao, green bamboo, there are bandits and gentlemen, such as cutting, such as grinding.

Stubborn, embarrassed, there are bandit gentlemen, and they can't be embarrassed in the end.

Zhan Bi Qi Ao green bamboo green, there are bandit gentlemen, full of ears Xiuying will be like a star......

Fu Nian's voice was very soft, with a little childlike sound, but it was extremely powerful, and every word seemed to hit people's hearts.

"The virtue of guarding people and the virtue of the martial arts, the beauty is a poem, and the virtue of the martial arts is the virtue of the gentleman.

This poem has three chapters, each of which starts with "green bamboo", such as the first chapter of Zhan Bi Qiao, green bamboo is rampant. The second chapter of the Zhan Bi Qi Ao, green bamboo and green green. The third chapter of Zhan Bi Qiao, green bamboo like a basket. This is the borrowing of poetry. ”

Zi Zeng said to Zi Lu: There is bamboo in Nanshan, do not knead and straighten, cut and use it, up to rhino leather. In other words, what is there to learn? In his opinion, the virtue of bamboo is the integrity of a gentleman. ”

After reciting it, he began to talk about the poem.

Yu Chan'er listened quietly, her expression was focused, looking at the rippling blue waves outside the pavilion, looking at the bamboo forest in front of her, she felt that her mood was dancing with the voice, ethereal, swaying with the wind......

With a flick of her fingers, a string of notes flowed from her fingertips, like a gurgling spring, flowing through her palms and all over her body, and the music gradually stopped with the song.

"Where language is exhausted, music can be expressed; Where the mind can't reach, music can reveal the emotions of the heart. Yu'er, when you can merge your mind with music, you have your own voice. ”

Fu Nian said, walked to the pavilion, sat down gently, and touched the strings with his ten fingers.

"I'll teach you another tune, called "Bamboo Wind", which is in harmony with the poem, and you are optimistic about the change of the strings between my fingers, follow me."

The sound of the piano is murmuring, and the sound of bamboo is long.

Fu Nian's eyes were slightly closed, as if he was feeling the beautiful music, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and there was a tranquility between his eyebrows, which was a transcendent tranquility, as if it could purify people's hearts.

Yu Chan'er listened quietly, her eyes drooping slightly, watching his ten fingers jump above the strings.

When the song is repeated, the strings are gently plucked to the rhythm of his fingertips, and the sound of the piano comes out leisurely, echoing in the bamboo forest......

The green mountains are faint, and the water is long. It is better to ask the heart than to ask the bamboo.

The clear water and bamboo on the side are all light, but they are the easiest to remember.

The courtyard is quiet and bamboo, elegant and dusty, even if the day is relative, there will probably not be a time to get bored. Water can wash the dust, this quiet and tranquil, maybe it can wash people's hearts.

Although the two are playing together for the first time, they are full of tacit understanding.

Poetry and music is an interpretation and practice of Confucian theory, and its fundamental principle is to bring gifts to benevolence and take benevolence as the foundation.

In the Confucian concept of ritual music, musical instruments are the artifacts of "the unity of heaven and man" and "the induction of heaven and man", and its shape is round and the bottom is similar to the "way of heaven and earth".

It reminded him of when his father taught him.

"Brother Nian, although I can play this tune, it is not much different from your tune." Yu Chan'er put down the piano, looked at Fu Nian, and begged.

Yu Chan'er's voice pulled back the thoughts in reverie.

"Yu'er, whether it is learning etiquette and music, or poetry and books, it is all for self-cultivation, and she only sticks to external things, but she restricts herself." Fu Nian paused, and said word by word.

That's what his father told him.

"Yu'er doesn't know anything, she just thinks that practicing the piano makes me like it, and I like the piano." She said with some grievances.

"I'm not saying you're bad, I just want you to understand that skills need to be practiced, but it's more about cultivating the mind." Fu Nian saw that she was a little sad, and hurriedly comforted.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand, trying to comfort her, but before his hand could touch her hair, he stopped.

This is really not good, it is a little abrupt, and he secretly withdrew his hand.

When Yu Chan'er saw his previous appearance, she couldn't help but sigh, and the grievances in her heart had already disappeared.

Fu Nian was a little embarrassed, straightened his mind, and said: "You are new to this song, you are not familiar with the song, and you have not mastered the skills needed in this song. Let's take our time, don't rush, I'll teach you. ”

"Listen carefully."

Fu Nian's fingers gently plucked the strings, and the sound of the piano became clearer and clearer, and one after another sounded out.

"What kind of law do you say?" Fu Nian spoke.

"It's five strings and seven emblems against two strings and five emblems." Yu Chan'er thought for a moment and said.

She is sensitive to timbre, and he taught her the rhythm of fifths, and every note is deeply in her heart.

"Geometry?"

"Three to two." Yu Chan'er replied.

"Two strings and empty strings are geometry?" Fu Nian asked.

"The five-string empty string is two hundred and twenty, and the two-string is five and a half times the string, which is about one hundred and forty-six." Yu Chan'er did some math and replied.

"Not bad." Fu Nian said approvingly, "I taught you the law, and you learned it well. ”

"Now, I'm going to teach you the tricks of this piece that you haven't mastered, and you have to pay attention to the pitch changes when you follow me."

Fu Nian said, his fingers moved lightly, and the sound of the piano sounded again.

The fingering used here is called Quanfu, and the three fingers of food, middle and name each enter a string, and at the same time play a sound, which is the potential of "the wind sends light clouds", and the tune here is seven strings and nine emblems. ”

The fingering technique used here is the back lock, and the right hand is on the same string, ticking, wiping, and picking in turn, a total of three sounds. It is called the "Harrier Soaring" potential. It needs to be downgraded from six strings and ten emblems to six strings and eight emblems. ”

Fu Nian's fingers gently stroked, and one by one the notes jumped out of the strings and fell on the surface of the piano like raindrops.

Yu Chan'er studied seriously, and Fu Nian taught patiently.

………

"You've learned very well, you and I can play together, but this time you use the piano and I use the flute." Fu Nian said.

It is precisely because of the subtle sound of the guqin that it is rarely played in ensemble with other instruments, and the only instruments that are played in ensemble with the guqin are Xiao and Se. Even if it is played by the ensemble of the qin and flute, it is not the common dong flute, but the qin flute that is specially used to play with the guqin ensemble, which is much thinner and has a much lighter sound than the dong flute.

Yu Chan'er lowered her head slightly, raised her eyes slightly, and nodded seriously.

Fu Nian picked up the flute, put it to his lips, and pressed a pair of fingers lightly on the flute.

Yu Chan'er also set up the piano stand, and the jade fingers were placed on the strings.

Their eyes met.

The sound of the piano is curling, the sound of the flute is gentle, the chorus of the piano and flute is singing, and a peerless picture scroll slowly unfolds, like a poem and a dream.

The sound of the flute is hazy, the sound of the piano is loud, there seems to be a dragon chanting and the phoenix singing, intertwined into a peerless good sound, it can be said that the dragon chant is not finished Zhu Xian, and it is difficult to carry Ke Ting with Lu Qi.

The sound of the piano flute is intertwined, and suddenly there are bursts of birdsong, and flocks of birds gather here, circling and flying around them, like a hundred birds and a phoenix.

One flute, one piano, one person plays the flute, one person strokes the piano. The figures of the two overlapped, everything seemed to be frozen in an instant, and the picture became eternal.

At the end of a song, the sound of the piano dissipated, the sound of the flute stopped abruptly, the birds dispersed, everything seemed to be over, and only the afterglow of the song lingered among the bamboos.

"What a song of flute and song." A beautiful voice slowly sounded in this quiet bamboo forest, like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley.

Fu Nian's eyes fell on the thin figure.

Ji Yanran came from the bamboo forest, she was wearing a crescent-colored dress with a simple bun.

"She's the little daughter-in-law you found?" Ji Yanran tilted her head slightly, looked at Yu Chan'er in front of her, and asked with a chuckle.

Yu Chan'er is about eight or nine years old, born extremely beautiful, with delicate facial features, skin as white as porcelain, eyebrows like Yuandai, nose like Qiong Yao, and teeth like jade dew. Although he is not childish, he is already a beauty embryo.

The long hair shawl went down, lined with Yu Chan'er's delicate little face, which became more and more cute.

When Yu Chan'er heard this, she lowered her head a little shyly.

Fu Nian knew that this was Ji Yanran teasing him, and he didn't mind, and said: "She is the Yuchan'er I told you about, I met her in Fengxi Village, and she is my friend." ”

"Sister, you can call my sister with her, since you are here, you will regard this as your own home, and you don't have to be restrained." Ji Yanran said softly to her.

"Sister Ji." Yu Chan'er called obediently.

"Good sister, Yuchan'er should be your nickname, do you have a surname?" Ji Yanran asked.

She has never seen her parents since she was a child, and she has no name or surname.

"I don't have a surname, and I don't have a name, Sanniang gave me a nickname and called me Yuchan'er." Yu Chan'er said a little gloomily.

"Sister, don't be sad, in fact, my sister and you are also from the old country, when the Yue State was destroyed by the Chu State, my sister came to the Wei State." Ji Yanran said, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"The ornament on your body is from the land." Ji Yanran glanced at the red ornament on Yu Chan'er's waist.

This was what Fu Nian told her, and it was also the news that he had asked her to go to find Huoyu Village, but that Zhuangzi had ceased to exist seven years ago.

"I'm a Yue person...... Yu Chan'er said, picked up the ornament, rubbed it gently, a layer of mist appeared in her eyes, this was the first time she knew her life experience, she had been hoping that her parents would come back to her.

"Sister Ji, do you know where my home is? Yu Chan'er looked at Ji Yanran nervously with anticipation in her eyes.

"Sister, I haven't found it yet, but don't worry, my sister will find your parents for you." Ji Yanran sighed lightly, she couldn't bear to tell the truth.

"Thank you, Sister Ji......" Yu Chan'er was a little disappointed when she heard this.

"Sister Ji, Yu'er, she is smart and smart, I just taught her for a few days, her piano skills have entered the house, your piano skills are the best in the Seven Kingdoms, it is better to teach her." Fu Nian said at the right time.

"I know what you're thinking." Ji Yanran said to Fu Nian, and then looked at Yu Chan'er, "Sister, I also like you very much, are you willing to worship me as a teacher and join my faction." ”

When Yu Chan'er heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up with a touch of brilliance, and then she glanced at Fu Nian with some concern.

"Sister Yu'er, Sister Ji, she is a master of the piano and sword, she is a member of the current generation, you can worship under her, and I am happy for you." Fu Nian said.

"I do." Yu Chan'er nodded heavily.

"Then you will be my disciple from now on." Ji Yanran said, "Our faction is called the Yue Nu Sword Sect, the name is taken by me, and you are only the second generation, and my master is the one who created the faction." I don't know her surname, I only know her name Qing, and she is your Qing ancestor. ”

"I made a note of it, master." Yu Chan'er said respectfully.

"Since you have no name and no surname, you might as well have the same surname as me." Ji Yanran said, stretched out her slender hand, and grabbed Yu Chan'er's little hand.

"Master Xie gave the surname." Yu Chan'er said gratefully, a warm current surged in her heart, and her eyes were slightly wet.

"Yu'er, you are now the first apprentice of the second generation of my Yue Nu Sword Sect, and I want to give you a good name as a teacher. Ji Yanran said, remembering the previous scene.

According to legend, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Xiao Shi was good at playing the flute and making a phoenix. Qin Mugong used a woman to make the jade good qin, make the jade to play the qin, Xiao Shi played the flute, the qin flute and Ming, felt the dragon and phoenix to gather, made the jade to ride the phoenix, Xiao Shi to ride the dragon, and ascended to immortality together. She told the story slowly.

"The two of you played together, and the piano and flute were playing, causing a hundred birds to sing in unison, just like the two immortals in the story. You also had the word jade in your previous name, so how about making jade? ”

"Make jade, I will make jade from now on." Yu'er smiled and said crisply.

Her smile, like the sunshine in winter, instantly drove away the haze in her heart.
