Chapter 115: New Notes
After sending Mr. Zhou Xiang away, going back to the house for lunch, and taking a short rest, Fu Xuechen returned to the classroom again, and took advantage of the little time before the gentleman who taught Guzheng arrived, and reviewed several Chinese knotting methods learned in the morning.
In my previous life, when I was a student, I was nervous about studying, I was addicted to video games and dramas during the holidays, and I was often forced to work overtime after work.
This is just starting to learn how to tie the yarn, Fu Xuechen has already thought about what good-looking yarn to make for himself, and by the way, he also thought that if he does too much, he can send a few to Fu Yuchen.
The most anticipated thing is that in the future, I will learn tailoring, those beautiful Hanfu that I can only find on the Internet in the future, and when I learn to tailor, I can try to make them all by myself, which is really exciting to think about.
The delicate carriage stopped, Liu Wufei jumped to the ground under the support of the personal maid, and was greeted by the people of the Fu Mansion.
"I've seen Mr. Liu!"
"Miss Fu is exempt!"
In the classroom of Qingtong Academy, the two teachers and students finally met and saluted each other.
Liu Xufei only felt a light in his eyes, and was amazed for a moment by Fu Xuechen's appearance that seemed to combine two different temperaments of innocence and charm, especially the other party's big black eyes that seemed to be full of curiosity at any time, which was even more eye-catching, and the magic was that seeing these eyes would make people have the illusion of seeing a whole starry sky.
Fu Xuechen also secretly looked at the particularly young female gentleman in front of her at the same time, this was the first time she had come into contact with a geisha so closely.
Sure enough, being able to become a well-known newcomer geisha in the capital of the Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, Liu Xufei In addition to the identity of the apprentice of the Yan family, her beautiful and moving appearance is a necessary condition for her success, Fu Xuechen saw her, as if she saw some new flowers in the entertainment industry in later generations who became popular only with beautiful photos.
According to Xie's statement, the guzheng master she originally wanted to invite was the Yan family, but unfortunately the Yan family declined, this is not because the Fu family can't afford the price - if you want to listen to the Yan family play the guzheng, the fee is very expensive, but if you can teach the students, it is not that the Yan family plays for the students, on the contrary, it is for the students to play for the Yan family, so the tuition fee is not expensive.
The reason why Yan everyone politely refused was because she only taught excellent students who needed to advance, and beginners like Fu Xuechen who still needed to learn from the basics, and directly inviting her was actually a waste for both parties: Fu Fu wasted money, and she was wasted time.
So Yan and the family recommended their apprentice Liu Xufei to the Xie family, and as compensation, she promised that if Fu Xuechen succeeds in his studies in the future, she will give Fu Xuechen priority to provide advanced guidance.
Liu Xufei is a newcomer to the Teaching Division, although she has earned some fame at the beginning, but she has not yet stabilized, plus the Teaching Workshop Division squeezes newcomers, the commission is not low, and every time she appears, the income she can get is not too high.
In order to make more money, Liu Xufei happily took over the part-time job of teaching guzheng from the Fu family.
Seeing the guzheng placed in front of Fu Xuechen, Liu Xufei smiled: "Today is the first day I teach you the guzheng, but I won't teach you the fingering of the guzheng directly, I suggest that we start by learning the notes, okay?" ”
Probably because he was too young, Liu Xufei did not have the slightest gentleman's momentum, and treated Fu Xuechen like a big sister next door, and even asked for the opinions of the students.
Fu Xuechen had a good impression of her, and stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture: "The student is not yet illiterate, Mr. should teach from scratch, Mr. can teach how he wants, and the student just listens." ”
Liu Xufei smiled and nodded, and saw that there was a wooden stand left by Zhu Jiuniang there in the morning behind him, as well as the newly replaced rice paper, so he immediately used it, picked up the brush on the case, dipped it in ink, and wrote a few words on the paper.
"Up, ruler, work, six, five."
Every time Liu Xufei wrote out a word, Fu Xuechen followed and read out the word, confused, but she still had some impressions of the music score recorded by the fourth prince Yuzhen, and found that these five words all appeared on the score.
Hearing Fu Xuechen's voice reading these words, Liu Xufei almost couldn't hold back his laughter, he steadied himself, Fang turned around and put down the brush, and explained to Fu Xuechen: "Before the Dayan Empire, these five sounds were Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu, and the sounds they each represent are like this: Ah~Ah~Ah~Ah~~"
“!! ……”
Fu Xuechen had a feeling that the three views had been impacted, and at the same time he felt suddenly, it turned out that the upper part, the ruler, the work, the sixth, and the fifth were respectively Do, come, Mi, Shi, and pull! What about Fat and West?
Liu Wufei is still explaining, and has added two diacritics on the paper, changing the palace and changing the sign, this is the hair and the west, which is currently recorded as the reverse and B, in addition to three bass combinations, four, B and a high note sheng.
Summing up, there are a total of eleven tones: He, Four, B, Shang, Ruler, Gong, Anti, Six, Five, B, Sheng, if you sing it with the familiar sound name of Fu Xuechen's previous life, it is Laxi Dolai Mi Shi Laxi Do.
"Many of us are not easy to turn the corner, remember these eleven sound names, and be able to see the words, sing the familiarity of their sounds, or barely remember them, but they can't sing accurately, or even the five tones are incomplete."
"For the rest of the time, you might as well practice slowly and master it as soon as possible." After Liu Xufei taught eleven sound names, he asked Fu Xuechen to practice as soon as possible, so that he could read and sing accurately.
Fu Xuechen took a piece of paper, first wrote down the eleven names of the Liu Wufei Sect, and then marked them with Arabic numerals one to seven at the bottom, and dotted a small black dot under the three bass notes of 5, 6, and 7, and the treble 1 was dotted at the top, which is the simple note of the song commonly used by the folk in later generations.
With a self-made comparison table of ancient and modern notes, Fu Xuechen was full of confidence: "Sir, I have learned!" ”
"Really?" Liu Wufei raised his eyebrows, spread out a piece of paper again, and took a pen to list seven or eight lines of Chinese characters on it, all of which were out of order: "Then you try to sing these different tunes?" ”
"Sir, wait a minute!" Fu Xuechen also took another piece of paper, compared it with the self-made note list, and quickly transcribed all the fragments of the seven or eight lines of Chinese character score given by Liu Wufei into a familiar digital score.
This process took a short time, but in just one minute, Fu Xuechen had already finished transcribing, and immediately sang confidently to the notes in his hand: "Mi Fa Mi Lai Duo Lai Mi ......"
"Huh?" Liu Xufei was surprised to find that Fu Xuechen had just done the first practice and sang all the tunes she listed correctly! Not a single note is wrong!
This is the first time she has seen someone who has learned the name and singing so quickly, and there is such a musical genius?!
Liu Xufei had some disbelief in evil, and wrote a few new pieces of music again, but Fu Xuechen was not false at all, after converting to a modern simple score, he sang it all right again!
Just kidding, in her previous life, she started learning simple notation from the first grade of primary school, and learned piano and stave at the same time, okay? It's just a matter of changing the score of Chinese characters, and knowing which modern notes those Chinese characters correspond to, then it is not easy to read and sing music.
Liu Xuefei was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses, looking at Fu Xuechen, like a ghost, it was only at this time that she suddenly came back to her senses, what sound did Fu Xuechen make just now? Doremi's shivering? Shouldn't it be~ah~ah~?
"Wait! What are you singing? What is Dolemi? Liu Wufei asked.
"Oh! This one! Fu Xuechen smiled, pointed to the five standard tones and two diacritics that Liu Wufei originally wrote on the board, and said: "These seven standard tones, in the absence of lyrics, I personally have a habit of singing them as Dolai Mi Fa Laxi, which will help me remember them." ”
Liu Xufei was very surprised, and simply walked over, wanting to see what Fu Xuechen was writing with a pen and paper just now: "Then you were recording just now...... Hey? What are you remembering? She saw the digital notation.
Fu Xuechen kindly told her: "These seven number symbols are Arabic numeral symbols, I think it is very simple and easy to remember, so I used it to make a sound name mark, the treble sound name is marked with a small black dot above the number, and the bass note name is marked with a small black dot below the number, and the beat is still marked by a bar line, and each beat is a small bar line, and the four beats are four bar lines." ”
Liu Xufei couldn't help but ask: "What about the legato?" What about two notes that only occupy one beat or half a beat? ”
After asking, she realized that she was confused, and she hadn't even taught her students any further knowledge of notation, such as beat symbols and legato symbols! Just ask the other party how to sign, how the other party answered!
Fu Xuechen blinked, didn't come up to tell the other party, but asked: "What is legato?" ”
"Oh! The legato is ......"
Liu Xufei hurriedly continued to explain the meaning of the rest of the notes and the expression of Chinese characters to Fu Xuechen, and this lecture went on and on for a whole quarter of an hour, and after the lecture, he realized that he only cared about speaking, and didn't pay attention to whether the students understood it!
Hurriedly looked at Fu Xuechen, but Fu Xuechen smiled and handed her the notebook paper in his hand: "This arc connected to the top of the note is used by me to express the legato, and the line below the note is used to express the rhythm ......."
Fu Xuechen clearly marked all the note knowledge that Liu Wufei had just explained on this small page.
The more Liu Wufei looked at it, the more surprised he became, and in the end, there was only a trance on his face, is it so simple? didn't write a single word, just used a few simple and easy-to-remember symbols, and included so much music score information that was originally quite painstaking to write?
Seeing Liu Xufei as if he had turned into a statue, pinching his chin with one hand and holding the paper with the other, Fu Xuechen quietly stuck out his tongue, as if he had gone too far? Did you learn all the notes so quickly? And all the knowledge of musical notes is marked in the most concise and straightforward way?
After a long time, Liu Xufei didn't put down the paper until he felt that he had memorized Fu Xuechen's simple notation notation, looked at Fu Xuechen again, thought about it and asked: "This is the method you figured out by yourself, then you should know very well what they mean, right?" ”
Fu Xuechen nodded: "Yes!" What I came up with on my own, I am naturally familiar with. ”
Liu Wufei said: "Then I'll sing you a tune, and you can try to memorize the score in your own way, okay?" ”
"Yes!" Fu Xuechen agreed.
Liu Xufei hummed a short song on the spot, because she was afraid that Fu Xuechen would not be able to keep up with the rhythm, she also specially chose a slow four-beat rhythm, with a three-section structure of repeated repetitions, beautiful and simple.
But because of the simplicity, she had just finished humming, and Fu Xuechen also dropped the last stroke, and handed her the numerical score that she had written: "Sir, I'll remember it!" ”
So fast?! Liu Wufei was almost shocked today, took the simple score and read it carefully, compared with the symbols that he had just memorized, he could easily understand it, and he could see that there was no mistake at all!
It would be ...... if everyone could use such simple notation to record music scores in the future. It's a seismic change in music! Thinking of this, Liu Xufei couldn't help but feel hot and faintly excited.
But after all, she is too young and too shallow, even if Darong abolishes the system of dividing people into three, six, nine and so on in the previous dynasty, there is no such thing as a lowly status, but the world still discriminates against women like her, who rely on playing musical instruments and singing tunes to make money to support themselves in the teaching department.
You have to hire a teacher! The master is well-connected and famous, maybe she can! Liu Xufei had a plan in his heart, and immediately tried to make a request to Fu Xuechen: "Miss Fu, can you give me this score?" ”
"If you need it, you can take it." Fu Xuechen didn't care about this simple score recorded casually.
"Thank you, Miss Fu!" Liu Xufei solemnly thanked him, not only because of his noble status as the daughter of Fu Xuechen's Marquis Mansion, but also because Fu Xuechen is likely to have created a new generation of music score recording methods, which is an extremely amazing achievement!
It happened that the pre-scheduled class had also reached the end time, Liu Xufei didn't want to delay for a second, said goodbye to Fu Xuechen, a special student, and was politely sent out of the mansion by the maid of the Fu Mansion, she immediately flew into the car, and ordered the groom who came to pick her up to hurry towards the residence of Master Yan and the family.
Yan's real name is Yan Ruhua, and she is now one of the more than a dozen musical instrument masters in the Jiaofang Division, and often has to attend major celebrations in the court or receive state guests who come to congratulate the court.
It is also the case that the Darong Empire only allows widows with sons to set up female households, otherwise, the property owned by Yan Ruhua, who is nearly thirty years old and has not yet married, has already qualified her to apply for the establishment of a female household.
In the afternoon, if Yan Ruhua didn't have a performance task, she usually taught her disciples at home - she accepted a lot of disciples, there were five or six before and after, except for those who had already qualified to become teachers, there were still two female disciples still studying.
