Chapter 119: Yuchen returns
So Liu Wufei was shocked again!
Fu Xuechen has become a real music genius in her eyes! Not only can she quickly learn all the knowledge of music theory, but she can't even play musical instruments! Fingering that others need to correct and practice countless times to master, it is as easy as getting her hands on it!
Liu Wufei recalled that when he first started to learn fingering, he often remembered the fingering of his left hand and forgot the fingering of his right hand, or he could barely press and pluck different melodies with both hands at the same time, but there was such and such incongruity, either the wrong string was hooked or the string position was not accurate, resulting in a dull and out of shape sound.
Compared with her clumsy fingers like ten little radish, the coordination and dexterity of Fu Xuechen's fingers looked like elves dancing above the strings!
She didn't know that Fu Xuechen had the piano foundation in her previous life, and the two hands were in charge of different melodies and they were in tune with each other, which was like eating and drinking for Fu Xuechen, and she had long been accustomed to it, she only saw the results shown by Fu Xuechen:
In addition to the accuracy of recognizing the string position and fingering, she still needs to practice repeatedly until she is fully proficient, and she doesn't need to teach anything anymore, Fu Xuechen can practice alone just by relying on the simple score of the Zheng music she provides!
As the days passed, Liu Xufei felt that she could teach Fu Xuechen less and less, from occasionally correcting the other party's basic fingering mistakes at the beginning, to teaching more complex and subtle fingering, and then later, she became a listener when Fu Xuechen practiced Zheng music, and often couldn't say a few useful comments for half a day.
Let Fu Xuechen continue to practice like this, Liu Xufei feels that she is a famous teacher's apprentice, and a professional who eats by playing the guzheng is afraid that even a little girl who only loves to play can't compare!
Liu Xufei even felt that he could almost go to Mrs. Jingbei Hou to resign, because according to past examples, if a wealthy lady can learn from Fu Xuechen, she has already reached the qualification of becoming a teacher, and the rest is just a matter of proficiency, just practice at home.
But she was very reluctant, not that she coveted the restraints of Fu Fu, but she thought that Fu Xuechen was very worthy of her master Yan to come and take a look and give the other party some advanced guidance.
It's a pity that everyone Yan is very busy, especially recently, in order to recommend the new type of digital notation to the entire teaching department, Yan's legs are about to break, and she still has to practice it, every time she meets a friend in the music and rhythm world who can speak, she has to teach this set of notation to the other party hand in hand, and she can't spare time to come over at all.
And Yan everyone still doesn't believe in Liu Xufei's rhetoric, they don't believe that Fu Xuechen, a child who has never even learned music and rhythm knowledge before, can even learn the playing of the guzheng so quickly, Liu Wufei is about to die unjustly, I really don't know when the honest self became a boastful and boastful person in the eyes of the master.
Once! The master just needs to find time to visit! Liu Xufei thought silently in his heart, in order to keep this opportunity to bring the master to the door at any time to assess Fu Xuechen together, Liu Xufei was cheeky and stayed until now, waiting for Master Yan and everyone to come over to help her see Fu Xuechen, and immediately make up the editor to announce that Fu Xuechen would be out of the school and end this part-time job.
Fu Xuechen didn't know what Liu Xufei was planning in her heart, she happily practiced the guzheng, and the more she practiced, the more familiar she became.
At the same time, the painting she was going to give back to Princess Zhiling was also completed, it was a sketch, and it was a small bust of Princess Zhiling, for which she found the most suitable thick white paper and charcoal.
Charcoal is as common as a bamboo pen in Darong, the most common in the army, and generals like to use charcoal to draw topographic maps of the combat area, which is available in Fu Chuanyi's study.
Thick white paper is easier to find, don't underestimate the development of paper technology in large capacity, without Meng Yuan Tieqi interrupting the inheritance of Chinese civilization, paper technology has long been innovative, there is a relatively expensive bamboo paper, cheap and rough straw paper, dyed incense paper, etc., Fu Xuechen used to make playing cards cardboard, is the original popular leaf card paper.
In this era, there was no eraser, and the West used bread crumbs, and Fu Xuechen used dry steamed bread crumbs instead.
Fu Xuechen didn't dare to let Mr. Zhu Jiuniang, who teaches calligraphy and painting, find out the sketches she painted, there are three kinds of Chinese paintings: ink, white drawing, and gongbi, the former pays attention to artistic conception, and the latter two requirements are similar to gods, but there is no concept of three-dimensional three-dimensional space, so she rashly took it out and showed it to Zhu Jiuniang, she was afraid that Zhu Jiuniang would be shocked and criticize her evil ways.
The sketching technique is completely derived from the West, unlike the number notation that only appeared in the seventeenth century and the piano that appeared in the nineteenth century, the sketches in the West took shape relatively early, not to mention anything else, there are several biographies written by Westerners in Fu Chuanyi's study, and there are several sketch illustrations in it.
However, even if the biographies written by Westerners were printed and distributed in Darong, because of the printing, the sketch illustrations were more seriously distorted, so this painting method has not yet been discovered and valued by the painters of Darong.
Anyway, after completing this painting that gave back to Princess Zhiling, the only thing left to do was to give it to Princess Zhiling. It was only at this time that Fu Xuechen discovered a huge trouble: without the invitation of the master of the palace, it was extremely difficult for people outside to enter the palace!
Even if the Xie family, as a court wife, can be qualified to hand a sign to Concubine Xie in the palace to ask for an audience, it can't be for the convenience of Fu Xuechen to make friends with Princess Zhiling, besides, Princess Zhiling has to go to Mingde Hall to study every day, and Fu Xuechen has to receive private training at home every day.
Who made them all little girls in the eyes of their elders? Except for the New Year's holidays, children should study every day, not just play, this is the ancient and modern parents have decided to die, and they can't resist at all.
Fu Xuechen very much hopes that Concubine Xie in the palace will hold another meeting, just like last time, invite the ladies of the families, and let the ladies of the families bring the girls, so that she can take leave with the female gentlemen to enter the palace again.
Pity! No! Xie Guifei is not a lively person, and the last time she was able to hold such a flower viewing party, it was already an extremely rare initiative to take the initiative, and she was not willing to hold such an event once a year.
Finding that there was little hope of inviting people in the palace, Fu Xuechen felt more and more the urgency of establishing a girls' school, only when the girls' school was established, and the nobles and Princess Zhiling could meet every day without hindrance and study together, and many of her ideas and plans could be implemented.
Just when Fu Xuechen began to think about whether to hand over the painting to the princess's companion Cui Xiaoyue or Xia Qinglian, and ask them to bring it into the palace to give it to Princess Zhiling, Fu Yuchen came back!
In the evening, I finally saw Fu Yuchen, who was originally raised with red lips and white teeth, but now even if he washes the dust and changes into new clothes, he still feels tired, his eyes are dark, and he seems to have lost weight.
"Are you so tired? Isn't it hard? Fu Xuechen was close to him, concerned and inquiring.
Fu Yuchen was very helpful to his sister's care, but said proudly and disdainfully: "I'm not very tired, I'll sleep tonight and recover tomorrow...... Mainly when I went to the county this time, I found that there were still so many poor people outside, who had suffered from the war, or their families were ruined, or they had left their homes, which was shocking! ”
Speaking of the back, Fu Yuchen's face couldn't bear it, he was born in a powerful family, and the so-called poor people he had seen all the time were either classmates from humble backgrounds but with great potential in Guozi School, or people working at the bottom of the capital.
But the former can go to school, even if the family is poor, it is better than many people to be able to afford their children to study, and the latter can work at the feet of the Son of Heaven to make a living, no matter how bad the mix is, it can fill his own belly.
Even the beggars in Beijing, with the help of a penny or two of money casually rewarded by passers-by, and then begging for some leftovers along the street, can barely survive in the cold and hungry in the cold winter.
After leaving Kyoto and going down to the county, the living standards of the people immediately dropped a lot, and there were a few acres of thin fields at home, and many people did not even have their own land, so they could only rent official fields or tenant themselves, hoping that God would appreciate the wind and rain, and after paying the rent in the coming year, there would be a little surplus to support the family.
There were also many war orphans, all under the age of fifteen, who had no one to work for others, and those who were good-looking or slightly stronger could barely be selected by large families to be slaves, and those who were left to be taken in by the government and lived on meager relief food and occasional charitable donations from wealthy families.
However, the almshouse only accommodates the lonely elderly over 60 and the orphans under 15, and those who are not in this range can only fend for themselves, and the government cannot afford to feed so many people without expenditure and income.
The chief officials of each county and county all hoped that the population of the sanatorium under their rule would be as small as possible, so this time, in addition to most of the children of the squires and the children of the common people who met the recruitment requirements of the Qingwei, the government also tried to recommend some orphans in the sanatorium who were barely qualified in age and health to the six princes.
Of course, this part of the orphan government is not recommended randomly, but they have found out the roots, their parents have served in the army, but they are unlucky, they have not yet made enough meritorious deeds in exchange for land and property and sacrificed their lives, but the old people in the family died, and their wives also died or remarried, and the orphans left behind were taken into the almshouse by the government.
Ah, isn't this equivalent to the descendants of martyrs? Fu Xuechen hurriedly asked, "How many orphans are like this in the nursing home?" ”
"There aren't many age suitables!" Fu Yuchen also sympathized with those orphans, and said: "The adults have left, I heard that most of them are still enlisted in the army, after all, there are records of their fathers' military service, and the army will be more willing to accept them, and many of the rest are still young, at least they have to grow up in the nursing home until they are fifteen years old, before they can go out to find a job to support themselves." ”
Fu Yuchen looked at Fu Xuechen and said: "You suggested that we try to recruit literate people, but unfortunately there are no qualified teachers in the nursing home, and the orphans all rely on those old people who are over sixty years old to teach, and the old people know at most a few words, almost no one has ever studied, and they have no energy to teach anything, so most of the orphans are illiterate." ”
"Then you're in trouble!" Fu Xuechen sighed: "You have to find someone to teach them to read, right?" ”
Fu Yuchen nodded: "It's a little troublesome, but it's not impossible to deal with, the Holy Lord has set aside a separate Qingwei barracks for us in Xishan, and now all the people are in the camp, someone manages them, and I will arrange other things later." ”
"There are girls in the almshouse, right?" Fu Xuechen thought about it and asked.
"Absolutely!" Fu Yuchen didn't know why she asked this: "But the girls have another yard to live in the almshouse, and we have no reason or need to see them." ”
Fu Xuechen had a new idea in her heart, she felt that the girls' school she instigated the princess to establish could completely include the little orphans in the almshouse, and even the little boys under the age of seven could also benefit ......
While thinking about it, Fu Xuechen cared about Fu Yuchen's itinerary: "Then are you going to study in the palace tomorrow?" Or go to the Qingwei camp? ”
"I just came back, so naturally I want to go to the palace to learn, what's wrong?" Fu Yuchen asked rhetorically.
Fu Xuechen happily took out the painting that was ready to be given to Princess Zhiling, and by the way, there was also a greeting text message asking about the progress of the preparation of the girls' school, and handed it to Fu Yuchen together.
"What's over here?" Fu Yuchen couldn't see the painting with the wax paint seal on the outside.
"It's my return gift to the princess, a painting." Fu Xuechen asked: "If you enter the palace to study, you will have the opportunity to meet the princess, I want to ask you to help me give this painting and the letter to the princess." ”
"Yes!" This is a trivial matter, Fu Yuchen agreed.
Of course, as a foreign man, even if he was underage, Fu Yuchen did not plan to ask to see the princess privately, so when he arrived at Mingde Hall the next day, he glanced at the screen separating the classroom at the back of the hall, and handed the things entrusted by Fu Xuechen to the six princes first.
"What is this?" Yu Zuo was puzzled.
"It's a painting from her sister who gave back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, as well as a letter of greeting." Fu Yuchen said frankly: "Can you ask Your Highness to transfer it to Her Royal Highness the Princess for your sister?" ”
"No problem!" Yu Zuo also agreed.
At noon, Yu Zuo really took the things that Fu Xuechen asked to hand over, and when he got to the back, he saw Princess Zhiling.
"Sixth brother! You're finally back! Princess Zhiling was also very happy to see the best-looking brother of Yuzuo, and took the opportunity to greet her, and then asked: "The sixth brother came to see me?" ”
Yu Zuo raised the thing in his hand at her: "It's what your sister Xuechen asked me to transfer to you, saying that it was a return gift for you, I heard that it was a painting?" ”
"She really gave me a picture she painted!" Princess Zhiling was surprised and curious, and couldn't wait to take the things, put the letter aside, and immediately tore off the wax mark and unfolded the painting.
Hearing that this was actually a painting drawn by Fu Xuechen himself, Yu Zuo couldn't help but look at it curiously.
