Ling Hu Chong was surprised and delighted, and vaguely remembered the piano rhyme he heard Qu Yang play that night.

This song is sometimes impassioned, sometimes gentle and elegant, although Hu Chong does not know the music theory, but he feels that the tune played by this mother-in-law is the same as that played by Qu Yang, but the meaning is very different. The tune played by this mother-in-law is peaceful and neutral, which makes people only feel the beauty of music when they listen to it, but there is no excitement of the blood played by Qu Yang. After playing for a long time, the rhyme of the piano gradually slowed down, and it seemed that the music could not help but go away, as if the person who played the piano walked out of dozens of zhang away, and then walked several miles away, and the subtlety was almost impossible to hear.

When the sound of the piano seemed to stop, there were one or two extremely low and thin flute sounds next to the sound of the piano. Roundabout and tactful, the sound of the flute gradually sounded, just like the of the book network people while blowing, while slowly approaching, the sound of the flute is clear and beautiful, high and low, light and flickering, low to the extreme, after a few circles, and then low down, although extremely low and very fine, each syllable is still clearly audible. Gradually, there are occasional pearls and jade jumps in the bass, crisp and short, one after another, the complex sound gradually increases, first such as the splash of the spring, and then such as the group of flowers competing for beauty, the flowers are clustered, and there is a gap between the birds, he sings me and, gradually the birds leave, the spring flowers fall, but the sound of the rain is Xiao Xiao, a desolate and murderous image, the drizzle is continuous, if there is nothing, and finally all the sounds are silent.

The sound of the flute paused for a long time, and everyone woke up like a dream. Although Lin Pingzhi and Ling Hu Chong didn't understand the rhythm, they couldn't help but be intoxicated. The musician is even more depressed.

Lin Pingzhi sighed, admired from the bottom of his heart, and said, "Admire, admire!" Big brother, what kind of song is this? ”

Linghu Chong said: "This is called "The Song of Smiling Proud Rivers and Lakes", this mother-in-law is really amazing, and it is rare that she is proficient in the piano and flute. ”

Lin Pingzhi said: "This piece is certainly wonderful, but it also needs to have the piano and flute skills of this mother-in-law to be able to play it." It's the first time you've heard such beautiful music. ”

Linghu said: "No! What I heard was more wonderful today than it is today. ”

Lin Pingzhi said: "How can that be? Is there a more clever person in the world than this mother-in-law who strokes the piano and plays the flute? ”

Linghu said: "It's better than this mother-in-law, but it's not likely." It's just that what the disciple heard was an ensemble of two people, one stroked the piano and the other played the flute, and what was played was this "Song of Smiling Proud Rivers and Lakes......"

Before he finished his sentence, there was a sound of three rings of the piano from the green bamboo bushes, and the mother-in-law's voice was extremely low, and she vaguely seemed to be able to hear her: "Qin and flute ensemble, where in the world to find this person?" ”

After a while, the green bamboo weng walked into the bamboo bush, holding the music in both hands. Lu Zhu Weng said: "The music recorded in this score is rare in the world, this is a sacred object, and it cannot fall into the hands of ordinary people. ”

Ling Hu Chong took over the score and lost his soul.

Lin Pingzhi asked, "Senior brother, let's go." Ling Hu Chong held the score and stood still.

Lin Pingzhi said strangely: "Senior brother, aren't you going back?" ”

Ling Hu Chong didn't look at him, and said dumbly: "I want to stay a little longer, you guys go first." ”

Lin Pingzhi didn't say anything more, and then left quietly.

He also knew that Ling Hu Chong's recent alcoholism was also due to a large part of the reason for his junior sister Yue Lingshan. Since Yue Lingshan cultivated the Jade Maiden Sword Technique, her personality has become more and more gentle, and she has become more and more polite to Ling Hu Chong. Ling Hu Chong always felt that there was a gap between the two, but he didn't know why, and he was bored, so he inevitably used wine to drown his sorrows. Today's music just evokes Ling Huchong's emotions.

Since then, Ling Hu Chong has often gone to Luzhu Weng to learn how to play the piano and flute from his aunt. Lin Pingzhi felt that this was also an elegant thing, better than getting drunk, so he was happy to see it happen.

Lin Pingzhi enjoyed the joy of family at home, making Hu Chong addicted to music, and Yue Buqun was even more happy, but no one urged him to return to Huashan. The two stayed in Luoyang for more than a month. In the end, it was Lin Zhennan who urged him to leave, he had been at home for many days, and the Fuwei Dart Bureau had accumulated a lot of things for him to deal with, and he couldn't drag it out any longer.

Lin Pingzhi was asked by his father, calculating how long the days had passed, so he went to ask Ling Hu Chong to see when he could set off. Ling Hu Chong was the same, he found that he had been in the Lin Mansion for more than a month, and then he felt that time had passed so fast.

On the same day, Linghu rushed to say goodbye to Luzhu Weng and his mother-in-law, and when he came back, he had an extra guqin in his hand, which was given by his mother-in-law. The two of them returned to the game, but this time it was not a dart car but a dart boat. The Fuwei Dart Bureau received a trip to transport a large number of medicinal materials to Chang'an, there were many and heavy things, and it could not be pulled by horse-drawn carriage, so it was transported by boat, and it was much easier to go all the way along the Yellow River into the Wei River directly to the south ferry of Chang'an.

The two got on the dart boat, still waiting for the goods to be loaded, and had not yet set off. Suddenly, I heard someone on the shore say loudly: "Let me ask, is the hero of the Huashan faction on this boat?" ”

The master replied yes, and the man said cheerfully, "That's good." Quick, quick, get it. More than a dozen men divided into two rows and walked out of a thatched hut on the shore, each holding a vermilion lacquer box in his hand. An empty-handed man in a blue shirt bowed down and said: "I learned that Linghu Shaoxia returned, and I should have come to see him off, but I really didn't have time to rush back. A group of big men walked up to the bow of the boat and put more than a dozen boxes on the boat.

Linghu Chongqi said: "I don't know which one it is?" Such a generous gift made Hu Chong ashamed. The man said, "I don't dare to say much without the master's orders." Let the fox young man take care more. As he spoke, he bowed and saluted, and led a group of big men to go by themselves.

Linghu Chong said: "I don't know who gave me a gift, it's really weird." ”

Lin Pingzhi opened the lids of the vermilion lacquer boxes, and saw that some of the boxes were filled with exquisite snacks, some were smoked chicken and ham and other snacks, and there were also precious and nourishing medicinal materials such as ginseng, deer antler, bird's nest, and white fungus. The last two boxes were filled with small gold and silver ingots, which were obviously used to prepare for the fox to rush to the road, saying that it was a "Fei Li", which was really expensive. However, after rummaging through dozens of boxes, there was neither a letter name thorn, nor a pattern mark, and there was no clue about who the giver was.

The two looked at each other, both feeling inexplicably wonderful.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and eight horses galloped along the river, and someone shouted: "Is the Huashan Sect Linghu Shaoxia here?" ”

Linghu rushed out of the cabin and walked to the bow of the boat, and replied loudly. The man shouted: "The leader of our gang learned that Linghu Shaoxia had come to Lanfeng, and I heard that Linghu Shaoxia liked to drink a few glasses, so he ordered the villain to go to the sixteen altars of aged wine, and made a special trip to invite Linghu Shaoxia to drink it in the boat." ”

Eight horses galloped near, and saw that each horse had two jars of wine hanging on its saddle. Some of the wine jars are written with "the best tribute wine", some are written with "three pots of Liangfen", and some are written with "Shaoxing Zhuangyuan Red", and the sixteen jars of wine seem to be different.

When Linghu Chong saw this lot of wine, he was more happy than what he gave him, and hurriedly said: "Forgive me for being clumsy, I don't know which gang your gang is?" Brother Taizun's surname? ”

The man said with a smile: "The leader of our gang has repeatedly instructed me not to mention the name of our gang to Linghu Shaoxia. The old man said that this small gift was too small, and it was really embarrassing to bring up the name of our gang again. With a wave of his left hand, the passenger immediately removed a jar of fine wine and placed it on the bow of the boat. After the eight men sent the sixteen jars of wine to the bow of the boat, they bowed down and saluted Linghu Chong, and then got on their horses and left.

Lin Pingzhi pondered, "This is strange, is it my grandfather's friend?" But why only mention the name of the elder brother? ”

Ling Hu Chong smiled: "Why do you care so much, just drink wine." Immediately picked up a jar of wine, patted off the mud seal, poured it in the bowl, sure enough, the aroma was fragrant, poured a bowl, and then drank the wine with a few sips, and praised: "Good wine, good wine!" ”

I could only hear some people on the shore exclaiming: "Good wine, good wine!" ”

Lin Pingzhi looked at the place where the sound came from, and saw a down-and-out scholar in ragged clothes under the willow tree, shaking a broken fan in his right hand, looking up and sniffing the aroma of wine wafting from the boat, and said, "It's really good wine!" ”

Ling Hu Chong smiled and said: "This brother, you haven't tasted it, how do you know the beauty and evil of this wine?" ”

The scholar said: "As soon as you smell the wine, you should know that this is a three-pot Toufen wine that has been hidden for sixty-two years, is there any bad reason?" ”

Ling Hu Chong is a drunkard, and his knowledge in the wine road is really extraordinary, and he knew that this was about sixty years of three-pot Toufen wine, but it was difficult to distinguish that it was no more than sixty-two years, and it was difficult to think that this scholar was mostly exaggerating, and said with a smile: "If Brother Tai is not suspicious, how about inviting him over for a few drinks?" ”

The scholar shook his head and said: "You and I don't know each other, we meet in Pingshui, and when we smell the fragrance of wine, it is already a disturbance, how dare to talk about my brother's wine, it is absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible." ”

Ling Hu Chong smiled: "Within the four seas, all are brothers. Hearing my brother's words, I knew that I was a senior in the wine country, and I was about to ask for advice, so I asked to get off the boat, and I didn't have to be polite. ”

The scholar slowly paced over, took a deep look, and said, "The late surname is the ancestor, the ancestor of the ancestors." When the ancestor heard the chicken dance, it was the distant ancestor who was born later. Late-born double names Qianqiu, Qianqiu, 100-year-old Qianqiu. I didn't dare to ask my brother Taizun's name. ”

Linghu said: "In the next compound surname Linghu, a single name is a chong word." ”

Nazu Qianqiu said: "Good surname, good surname, good name!" As he spoke, he walked from the gangplank to the bow of the boat.

Ling Hu Chong smiled slightly, and thought, "I'll invite you to drink, and everything will be fine." He immediately poured a bowl of wine, handed it to Zu Qianqiu, and said, "Please drink!" ”

I saw that he was in his fifties, with a scorched yellow complexion, a rosacea, blank eyes, a few sparse beards, a shiny placket on his clothes, two hands stretched out, and black sludge in his ten fingernails. He was thin, but he had a big belly.

Zu Qianqiu saw Ling Hu Chong hand over the wine bowl, but it was inconvenient to take it, and said: "Although Brother Ling Hu has good wine, he doesn't have good utensils, it's a pity." ”

Linghu Chong said: "During the journey, there are only some thick bowls and thick bowls, and Mr. Zu will drink some." ”

Zu Qianqiu shook his head and said, "Never, never." You are so sloppy with the wine utensils, and you obviously don't know the three flavors in the way of drinking. When drinking, you must pay attention to the drinking utensils, and use the glass of what kind of wine you drink. When drinking Fenjiu, a jade cup is used, and the Tang people have a poem: 'The jade bowl holds amber light.' It can be seen that the jade bowl and jade cup can increase the color of the wine. ”。

Linghu said: "Exactly." ”

Zu Qianqiu pointed to a jar of wine and said: "This altar of liquor, the taste of the wine is excellent, but it is a pity that there is a lack of fragrant gas, it is best to drink it with a rhino horn cup, it is very mellow, you must know that the jade cup increases the color of the wine, the rhino horn cup increases the fragrance of the wine, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me." ”
