Chapter 22 River Song

Li Guinian called the boy to bring a small drum, then turned to look at Meng Xiaoyu next to him: Do you know Chu Yin?Meng Xiaoyu said: I have learned it before.

That's great, I'll play the drum, you and the pipa.Li Guinian said slowly.

Meng Xiaoyu knew Li Guinian's name, and when she heard that he actually invited her to play together, she looked a little excited and nervous: I was afraid that I would not play well.

Li Guinian twisted a small thorn of beard on her chin and said with a smile: It's okay.

Xue Chongxun hurriedly sat upright on the soft collapse in the north and listened with his ears.

The piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are compulsory courses for aristocrats. In fact, he had some knowledge of calligraphy, painting, chess skills, etc., but he had no attainments, only knows the basics. Only Xue Chongxun knows more about this music, and can be regarded as an amateur.

So he is also looking forward to hearing the performances of famous musicians.

Li Guinian started with a slow shot, Meng Xiaoyu then pulled the pipa, and a low melody sounded, sounding sad and beautiful.

Xue Chongxun also learned Chu Yin. At this time, he closed his eyes and a beautiful image of Mrs. Xiang appeared in his mind. You can't imagine Mrs. Xiang's appearance, like Jincheng or Yuwen Ji. He also thought of the foreign princess Murong Yan...

After a while, the pipa popped out the jingling sound again, as if the noble ring on the goddess was swaying gently with the light steps.

Xue Chongxun is indeed unheard of for this simple combination of symphony.Li Guinian, in terms of status, it is Beethoven Ah of this era!

The music is sad and happy, and people's emotions keep going with their performance.

I don’t know if Zhang Shuo was involved in music, but I can see that Zhang Shuo’s expression was also changing with the music.

In the end, there was a shrill cry. Xue Chongxun felt the thousands of sorrows and hatreds of a resentful girl in the mountains... Isn't that shrill tone the pouring of passionate love?

The drums stopped, the pipa quietly, and the four people in the room were speechless for a long time, still immersed in the emotions of the music and could not extricate themselves and could not recover from their senses.

Xue Chongxun said happily: He is worthy of being Li Guinian!

Li Guinian smiled and said: It’s just a false reputation. Didn’t the prince notice that Meng Niang in your mansion play very well?He thought Meng Xiaoyu was the singing girl raised by Xue Chongxun.

In fact, there are no singing and dancing girls at Xue Chongxun's family, but he couldn't say that Meng Xiaoyu was a singing girls from a brothel, which was quite a shameful face, so he smiled and said nothing.

At this time, Li Guinian said again: Actually, I am better at writing music, and playing musical instruments is not my best.

Zhang said: You are too modest.

Li Guinian stopped her smile and sighed: To achieve something on the same road, the most important thing is to understand your weaknesses.My weakness is indeed playing.

This sentence sounds like the truth that Li Guinian only realized after a long time. After hearing this, Xue Chongxun thought about it carefully for a while, and then smiled and said: I really can't hear your weaknesses.

Li Guinian smiled and said: Because I understand, all Xianfeng, Jiegu, and Pipa are not good at it.

After saying that, I took out a roll of rice paper from my sleeve and presented it to Xue Chongxun: I visited the royal palace for the first time, and there was no gift that I could show. This is a song "Three Rivers Qu" written by me. Please accept it with a smile.

oh?

After hearing this, Xue Chongxun was happy and hurriedly took it.

He knew the name Sanhequ, and it was definitely related to his political achievements in the reform of the canal transport last year, because the name of the law was Sanhe Law.

Li Guinian, a famous scholar now famous, wrote a musical song of reform for him, which had a great influence.

What's the situation?

The influence of the works of famous scholars cannot be slighted!

Just like the poems of those famous poets, the works were immediately circulated by the world. Even Japanese envoys who came to Chang'an would definitely search for Tang poetry and music and go back to sell them for money. When they arrived in Japan, it was not art, but gold!

Haha... Xue Chongxun liked this gift so much that he couldn't help laughing.

Li Guinian smiled and said: I have no intention of flattering the superiors at all. It is indeed worthy of praise for the law of the prince.

Xue Chongxun was very proud. Li Guinian was really likable. Ah was no longer flattering, but he could be happier than flattering.This incident made him realize the great role of famous scholars and literati.

When Xue Chongxun was happy, he naturally became generous and waved his hand: Xue Liu, it is impolite to come but not to go. Li Guinian gave me such a big gift, how could I not give me some small gifts?

Xue Chongxun did not prepare for this matter in advance, but he believed that the butler knew what to do.

Soon the slave brought a box of things. As soon as the box was opened, it was filled with silk fabrics such as broken red silk, toad yarn and other silk fabrics.

Silk fabrics were not only used as clothes. In the Tang Dynasty, silk, etc. were directly used as general equivalents as money.

Therefore, in the later "The Charcoal Seller", the eunuchs in the palace used textiles to pay for the charcoal sold by the Charcoal Seller. The eunuchs in the poem paid the money, not forcing them to rob.

The broken red silk, toad yarn and other things carried by the slaves are precious silk fabrics, which are difficult for the people to see, and Zhang Shuo was a little moved when he saw them.

However, Li Guinian didn't even look at him, and just said, "The prince treats him well, I will take the heart."

It seems I don't want it.

At this time, he walked to Meng Xiaoyu and stretched out his hand and said: Can you lend me your pipa?

Meng Xiaoyu naturally handed it to him without hesitation.Li Guinian picked up the pipa, gently stroked the silk string with his fingers, his eyes full of love, and then sat down as if no one was around and played it to his heart's content.

Xue Chongxun understood, Li Guinian fell in love with this pipa with good sound quality... but it was Meng Xiaoyu's thing.Xue Chongxun looked at her with a little embarrassed.

Meng Xiaoyu smiled: If Mr. Li likes it, just give it to him. Mr. Li plays better than me!

After hearing this, Xue Chongxun pointed to the box on the ground and said: Li Guinian doesn’t want these things, so I’ll give them to you.

Meng Xiaoyu giggled and said: The prince is so rich, I'm not polite!

Xue Chongxun waved his hand and didn't take it seriously at all. Anyway, he had a large amount of salary every month, so he could spend as much as he could.

He said again: I will invite my colleagues to the mansion in a few days, and then I will be bothered by Mr. Li to come and support him.

Li Guinian clasped his fists and said: One word is determined, thank you for the prince's pipa.

Xue Chongxun then sent them out and personally sent Li Guinian and Meng Xiaoyu to the gate, which seemed too much, but the Prime Minister Zhang said that Xue Chongxun's actions were reasonable in this way.

After leaving the mansion, Li Guinian and Meng Xiaoyu got on the car separately, but Zhang Shuo was slow to stumble.

Seeing this, Xue Chongxun calmed down and waited for a while. After the two carriages left, he slapped his head: I have "Gu Zhuzisun" and forgot to take it out for hospitality... Everyone has left, Mr. Zhang, why don't you accompany me to taste the tea?

Zhang said that he was very interested: I like the tea ceremony a little bit, and the prince was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to refuse, so he would chat again.

Xue Chongxun smiled and said: You and I are colleagues, and we are friends of life and death (referring to the trip to Qinghai), so we don’t have to see each other.
