Chapter 187: Suona Emotion Opening
When he thought of blowing mustard with a bamboo pipe just now, Jiang Xingchen suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, he remembered that when he was young in his previous life, he played with his friends by the river, and he would often pull out the slender reed leaves tightly rolled at the tip of the reed and blow it in his mouth, and then it would make a mosquito-like sound.
Then it occurred to him that the stems of the reeds were also hollow, and that the bark of poplar strips could be used to make whistles.
Several judges have rich experience and have analyzed the basic structure of suona before, and the whistle is definitely the key, but after they made it out of metal, the sound they made was far from what Jiang Xingchen had in his impression.
Now, Jiang Xingchen suddenly realized that the whistle could not be made of metal, but of hollow plants.
Therefore, ignoring the stunned old man, he ran out of the courtyard in a puff of smoke, and beckoned the carriage to take him quickly out of the city, where there were many reed-like plants by the river.
Jiang Xingchen ran away, the old man and the four of them were stunned for a moment, and Zhao Danqing said: "He must have other tricks, it is impossible to scare us and it will be over!"
The old man ignored Zhao Danqing and stomped out of the door. No matter how he joked before, Jiang Xingchen had always been within the scope of his care. Now no matter what tricks that kid has, whether he is calculating him or not, he must follow and ensure Jiang Xingchen's safety.
The reed-like plant is called fine firewood in this world, and when it withers in autumn and winter, many civilian families will come to harvest it and use it as firewood for cooking.
The plant is taller than a reed, more than two meters tall, with wide leaves and flower spikes about the size of a reed. A large piece of water is connected together, like a barrier, and the breeze blows. There was a rustling of leaves rubbing against each other, and from a distance, the flower spikes were undulating.
Jiang Xingchen got out of the carriage and saw such a scene, and secretly said in his heart: "It's really similar to a reed, I hope their poles are also hollow!"
Jiang Xingchen walked over and cut off a reed, looked down, and suddenly smiled: "Sure enough! What fine firewood, this is a large reed......"
Haha laughed, Jiang Xingchen cut off a large bundle and asked the coachman to help him carry the carriage.
The old man looked at it from a short distance and wondered. This kid has nothing to do with so much fine firewood, is he so poor that he can't even afford firewood and charcoal now?
With a stomach full of doubts, the old man followed Jiang Xingchen back home. What surprised him was that with this kid's personality that never suffered, this time he really seemed to have forgotten their tricks. Didn't pay any attention to them.
Jiang Xingchen, who returned home, immediately found several judges from the Imperial Academy. Immerse yourself in the study again.
This time. The old man suddenly realized that this kid had thought of the key to making a new musical instrument, no wonder he had no time to pay attention to us.
Jiang Xingchen's new idea made several judges suddenly enlightened, and their ideas were also opened up a lot. After several consecutive tests, it was found that the fine firewood pole could not be used directly. One of the judges asked whether it should be used after drying.
"Isn't it more brittle after drying, how to make zuò whistles?" As soon as this question was raised, another judge immediately said that it could be softened by soaking in water.
While the wood was being dried, one of the judges was already holding a metal called indigo. I've gone to a blacksmith to make a flare and a letter.
And Jiang Xingchen began to make suona rods, this thing is similar to making the suona flute, it is quite fine, and the hole spacing is very strict.
When he was busy until the evening, Jiang Xingchen suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to pick up Mei'er from school.
"Hey, damn it, why did you forget this, the little girl must be in a hurry!" Hurriedly putting down the work in his hand, Jiang Xingchen hurriedly walked out of the door.
The house they bought was around the Imperial Academy, and it wasn't far away, and Jiang Xingchen quickly arrived at the academy.
However, when he arrived at the gate of the academy, his expression suddenly sank. At the side door of the academy, Mei'er was standing with Huang Xiaobin talking.
The two already knew each other, and it was nothing to stand together and talk, but Jiang Xingchen had an uncomfortable feeling.
Striding forward, Jiang Xingchen approached the two and also heard their conversation.
"It's so late, I guess Lord Jiang has something to delay, why don't I send Miss Mei'er back!" Huang Xiaobin said very sincerely.
"No need!Thank you, Second Brother Huang!My brother will definitely come to pick me up, you can go first!" Mei'er shook her head and replied.
"This ...... Miss Mei'er, it's about to get dark......" Huang Xiaobin was continuing to speak, Mei'er suddenly laughed, called out to her brother, and ran forward.
"Uh!" Huang Xiaobin paused, quickly turned his face, and saw Jiang Xingchen at a glance.
"Lord Jiang, you're here!" For some reason, Jiang Xingchen was obviously smiling, but Huang Xiaobin felt a heavy pressure, making it a little difficult for him to breathe.
"Hmm!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, turned his head and asked Mei'er, "What are you talking about?"
"Second Brother Huang sees that it's getting late, and he wants to send me back!, but I know that my brother will definitely come!" Mei'er said with a smile.
"I ...... I'm worried that it's dark, and it's not safe for Miss Mei'er to walk alone!" Huang Xiaobin answered.
Jiang Xingchen nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you!"
"Lord Jiang is too polite! It's not early, I'll leave first, and I'll visit you again when you're done with the tour!" Huang Xiaobin said a word, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.
When Huang Xiaobin's back disappeared, Mei'er suddenly asked, "Brother, were you angry just now?"
"Ah!" Jiang Xingchen was stunned for a moment, looked at Mei'er in surprise and said, "How can I be angry, I'm just worried that you'll be in a hurry when it's late!"
Although he said this, he couldn't help but look at the love he had just now, and when he saw Mei'er and Huang Xiaobin standing together, he felt uncomfortable for no reason. But then Mei'er rejected Huang Xiaobin, and he was happy again, and the discomfort disappeared. Moreover, he involuntarily took the shelf of Jue and pressed Huang Xiaobin.
"I'm in this state...... It won't be ...... It's impossible! I'm the little girl's brother, how can I have other emotions!" Jiang Xingchen hurriedly shook his head in his heart and denied.
"Brother lied, when you laughed just now, it was clearly far-fetched!" Mei'er said with a pout.
"Hey, you little girl, I said no, no, no!" Jiang Xingchen immediately interrupted Mei'er, and then was afraid that she would continue to entangle this issue, so he added: "Du Rushan sent sunflower seeds today, and suona already has a way!"
"Really, great!" Mei'er really didn't continue the topic just now, and immediately cheered happily, my brother has been studying this suona for a long time, and I've been depressed about this matter these days.
"Let's go, go home and taste the sunflower seeds, they are crispy and fragrant, and they are delicious!" Jiang Xingchen patted Mei'er's head with a smile, took her hand and walked towards the front house.
He didn't notice that just as he turned around, Mei'er lowered her head.
"Brother was obviously angry just now, doesn't he like Second Brother Huang...... Or is it my brother...... I'm jealous!" suddenly flashed a strange look in Mei'er's eyes, and then her eyes bent into crescents, and the corners of her mouth were raised......
At night, Mei'er puffed out her small mouth, her brows were furrowed, and she said angrily: "This sunflower seed is too difficult to knock, my mouth hurts!"
"Isn't this girl learning things very fast?" Jiang Xingchen was a little puzzled, she had been teaching for a long time just now, she should have learned it.
"Brother, can you peel it for me?" Mei'er gently grabbed Jiang Xingchen's arm and shook it.
"Hiss~" Jiang Xingchen gasped, feeling his skin tingle, when did this girl learn to be coquettish.
"Don't peel it, you have to eat and practice by yourself!" Jiang Xingchen gently knocked Mei'er's little head.
"Hmph!" Mei'er's little face had just wrinkled into a bun, but she immediately stretched it out, and she found that her brother had already started to knock out the sunflower seeds one by one and send them to her!
"Brother is the best!" the little girl bit her lip, and a smile spread on her face, like a flower blooming......
In the next two days, Jiang Xingchen and several judges repeatedly calibrated the tone, and finally made the suona.
Although playing suona is different from playing the guzheng, now Jiang Xingchen, whether it is the control of fluctuations or the control of breath, has reached the point of perfection, and this instrument is also difficult for him.
A hundred birds and a phoenix, a cheerful ancient music will vividly interpret the characteristics of suona, and the high-pitched and penetrating voice has amazed several judges and Wanrou.
Those judges are even more proud, in this suona system, they play a role no less than Jiang Xingchen.
In the past two days, Jiang Xingchen's teahouse has also opened! Hongyuan City has a booming business, and the first two cross talk actors have already laid a sufficient foundation in major restaurants. Therefore, although the ticket price is as high as ten citrine coins, there are still many people who come to cheer when I hear about the new cross talk joke, and the 300 seats are sold out.
Then they found that the ticket price of ten citrine coins was definitely worth the price, not only did the new cross talk jokes make them laugh and feel happy, but also honey water, several snacks, and there was something called sunflower seeds, which was called a fragrant one.
Eating, drinking, listening to cross talk, not to mention enjoying more! The only thing that makes them feel uncomfortable is that there is a new form of storytelling.
The story is pretty well told, but it's also too gripping, and at the critical moment, this one is over, and it will continue tomorrow!...... Many people scolded the street, and they didn't do anything else that day, so they pondered about Pan Jinlian.
Therefore, after the first three full events, the next day business was still hot. The cross talk is still the original joke, but the storytelling continues......
However, compared to the popularity of Hongyuan City, Linshui City and the Imperial Capital are a little cold, and the ticket price of ten citrine coins scares off a large number of people.
And at this time, another piece of news came from the Great Qin Kingdom, which made Jiang Xingchen and Wanrou frown! (To be continued......)
