Chapter 113: The Sound of the Piano
Xu Xuan stood up and walked in front of Kong Anguo with a beautiful tea cup in both hands.
Xu Mian offered tea to Kong Anguo, which was the highest respect for the teacher.
"Sir, please have tea."
Xu Xuan's voice was very gentle and sweet, and her eyes were clear and bright like the bright moon.
Kong Anguo glanced at her and felt that Xu Xuan was indeed very beautiful.
Seeing that he was holding a very exquisite tea cup in his hand, a smell of tea came to his face.
"Sir, this tea is refreshing. When the gentleman is doing things, he can sip the tea carefully. ”
After the party is over, a pot of tea will be sent to Kong Anguo.
Kong Anguo took the teacup and looked at some tea leaves floating in the hot water.
"The concubine will perform a dance for you and cheer you up."
Presumably they've seen a lot of sword dances, so let's show them a different kind of weapon.
This was learned from Liu Zhang, and the knife dance is highly ornamental.
Xu Xuan walked to a high platform, a stage dedicated to performing songs and dances for guests.
Everyone looked over to the stage to see how beautiful Xu Xuan's knife dance was.
Xu Mian adjusted his breathing, and he must perform a wonderful performance.
Earn enough face for Liu Zhang, bring her over today.
just wants him to have an outstanding performance in front of everyone and increase her popularity.
also asked some young people not to beat her idea and leave a good impression on those great Confucians.
Kong Anguo tasted a sip of tea, and the tea was bitter and then sweet.
The tea has a mellow aroma, and he usually drinks plain water.
Xu Xuan was holding a very beautiful knife, and she danced.
Everyone is fascinated, the sword beauty is even more beautiful, and the dress Xu Xuan is wearing today is very suitable for dancing.
The knife dance performed by Xu Xuan is improved, and the knife dance is strong and beautiful.
There was silence in the audience, and then, Xu Xuan quickly rotated his body.
She is already graceful, and her dance has the fierceness of a steppe people.
There is also the softness of a Han Dynasty woman, because she lived in the grassland before the age of thirteen.
After the age of thirteen, she lived in the interior of the Han Dynasty, where she integrated Xiongnu culture and Han culture.
She showed everyone the two cultures, and Kong Anguo felt that Xu Xuan was a very smart woman.
He sees people very accurately, but he doesn't know too much about Xu Xuan's strengths and weaknesses.
Half an hour later, Xu Xuan's dance performance was over.
Liu Zhang took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, and Xu Jian took the handkerchief in his hand.
"I'll wipe it myself, I just made a fool of myself to you."
Xu Xuan is very modest in the face of everyone, and he may have a discussion with them in the future.
"The girl's dancing just now has both the fierce style of the grassland people and the softness of the Han woman."
That shows that Xu Mian is very careful in performing the knife dance, and the knife is just a prop in his hands.
She wants to show everyone that two cultures can be combined.
"Sir, I heard that the Huns were a branch of the Huaxia tribe a long time ago. After the fall of the Xia Dynasty, some of the Huaxia people moved to live in the north. ”
Liu Zhang didn't know if this was true or not, he just saw it from historical records.
"There is indeed such a legend that a branch of China merged with the local ethnic group, and there was the current Xiongnu."
"I wonder what the Marquis means by this?"
Shangguan Ao asked Liu Zhang, wouldn't it be to say good things for the Huns.
"I learned Xiongnu from him, and I found that Xiongnu has some similar sounds to today."
It is very likely that the Xiongnu language is an ancient Chinese language, and the pronunciation of some words can be understood.
"You mean to understand the Huns, so that you can better deal with the Huns."
Kong Anguo understood what Liu Zhang meant, and the Xiongnu language was indeed somewhat similar in pronunciation to the current Huaxia language.
When Liu Zhang talked to them about cultural matters, he really didn't say good things for the Xiongnu.
Xu Xuan sat beside Liu Zhang and listened silently, regardless of whether the Huns were good or bad.
It has nothing to do with her, she just wants to accompany Liu Zhu and just want to live well.
"Since the establishment of Dayu Xia, I don't know how many years have passed. I don't know how much ancient literature has been lost, it's a pity. ”
Liu Zhu calculated in his heart that more than 1,900 years have passed since Dayu established the Xia Dynasty.
I feel that there are many cultures in the blank period during this time, and the era of cultural prosperity is the Warring States period.
At that time, hundreds of schools of thought contended, and in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Confucianism was the only respect.
The part of the hundred schools of thought was integrated into Confucianism, and Liu Zhang felt that it was indeed a pity.
With the changes of the times, Confucianism has also changed.
"It's been too long for us to know."
Kong Anguo could not answer Liu Zhang's doubts, he had been studying Confucian scholarship for decades.
"Honorable Marquis, let's not talk about things that are so far away, don't be too embarrassed sir."
Shangguan Ao felt that Liu Zhang was selling his talents, and he couldn't even say it himself.
"I can't answer this question, and Ziguo can't answer it."
Kong Anguo couldn't help coughing lightly, he couldn't say that in front of the students.
This made him lose face, what Liu Zhang said just now was not deliberately giving him a problem.
"We don't know what happened before, we just need to learn the present. There are some things that you should not talk about, but you should learn to be successful. ”
The meaning of his words was clear, they were still very young.
Take advantage of this time to study hard and serve the imperial court in the future.
Dong Jian wrote to Kong Anguo, mentioning Liu Zhang many times.
Recently, he has been a little tired of school and wants to finish his studies early.
Dong Jian was reluctant to let him leave the academy and wanted to train him to become a pillar of the country.
Dong Jian has high hopes for him, and Liu Zhang will not let him down every time.
"Zhou Fu, you are good at stroking the piano, it is better for you to stroke a song."
Shangguan Ao knew that Zhou Fu was good at playing the piano, so he would let Liu Zhang play a song later.
Every student must have piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and presumably Liu Zhang can also play musical instruments.
Although learning these is not of much use to personal help, play a song when you are idle and bored.
"Then I'll make an ugly song."
Zhou Fu also wants to compare with Liu Zhang, who of the two of them is higher in terms of music and rhythm?
"Marquis, would you like to have a discussion with me?"
Zhou Fu challenged Liu Zhang, and today is not an official competition between the two universities.
After three days, other institutions will also come, and they will test the students' comprehensive ability through various tests.
"Please, wait until you finish playing a song, and I'll play another song for you."
Isn't it just playing the piano, Liu Zhu is also very good.
He had a lot of music scores in his mind, and he couldn't believe that he couldn't compare to a student from Taixue.
The other party attacked the matter of the Chu Society Academy in this way, and waited for the official discussion.
It will make them very unconfident and let them know that Taixue is the most powerful school in the Han Dynasty.
There is no comparison with other universities, and it is not denied that Taixue is a state-run institution.
The faculty team is top-notch, and the financial and material resources invested are also top-notch.
And he can often accept the emperor's summons to show his talents for the emperor.
The Chu Society Academy does not have such an advantage, and this time the Taixue Academy may lose badly.
Liu Che would not blame the Chu Society Academy for losing face with the Taixue Academy, he just wanted these students to learn from each other.
Only by knowing your own shortcomings can you be more photogenic.
In the past few days, the county schools around the Chu State will send students to participate in the competitions of various institutions.
A variety of musical instruments are placed in the private rooms, which also meet the needs of guests.
Zhou Fu walked over to a piano and sat down, and he tried to tune it up.
This one has been tuned and the tone is very correct.
Zhou Fu began to play a song, and the song he played was called "Still Water and Bright Moon".
The sound of the piano echoed in the private room, and everyone listened intently.
Liu Zhang also thinks that this song is very good, which can make his heart calm down quickly.
I have to say that Zhou Fu's attainments in music are indeed very high.
This was probably Zhou Fu's most proud composition, and the other Taixue students thought that Liu Zhang could not surpass him.
That's not easy to say, they seem to underestimate Liu Zhang too much.
The sound of the piano also spread outside, except for the students of the two schools.
Hongyun Tower will not receive any guests today, and even the people working in Hongyun Tower have stopped.
They listened intently to the sound of the piano, and they thought it was so good.
Except for those talented women in Hongyun Building, most of the people who do chores are not highly educated.
But they can also hear whether the music is good or bad, after all, they have been working here for so many years.
After listening to so much music, they knew that many students from institutions of higher learning came to Hongyun Building today.
Kong Anguo and Dong Jian specially instructed that there was no summons from them.
The rest of Hongyun Lou was not allowed to approach the private room, and they certainly didn't want to offend these guests.
Zhou Fu seemed to have reached the realm of selflessness when playing the piano, and everyone present was intoxicated by the music.
Everyone put aside the distractions in their hearts for a while, and listening to this music can really calm themselves down.
At this moment, Shangguan Ao was very proud in his heart. Presumably, Liu Zhang can't compare to Zhou Fu in terms of music.
He was the most accomplished student in the Taixue Academy, and the Taixue Academy also had the best musical instruments.
The Chu Society Academy is incomparable, and this time it will definitely be able to hit the confidence of the students of the Chu Society Academy.
