Chapter 45 Suffering together

Meng Xinzhi took out the paper and pen from the bag and started drawing.

This flight lasted thirteen hours. We departed at noon and arrived in Rome. Taking into account the jet lag, it was just dinner time.

She never sleeps on the plane.

When you get off the plane, you should do whatever you need to do.

If you don't sleep for more than 24 hours, you may fall into a deep sleep when you arrive in Florence.

If all goes well, her jet lag will automatically be adjusted.

Ever since she was very young, Meng Xinzhi has been accustomed to drawing her dreams.

This habit has become more and more meaningful as her painting skills improve day by day.

Unlike before, even if Van Gogh saw it in person, he would think it was too impressionistic.

Even with the greatest human imagination, it is impossible to imagine it in a mortal body.

…

"ladies and gentlemen."

"The plane is descending."

"Please sit back in your original position, fasten your seat belt, put away the tray table, and adjust the seat back to the normal position."

"All personal computers and electronic devices must be turned off."

"Please confirm whether your carry-on items have been properly placed."

"Later, we will dim the cabin lights."

…

The in-flight announcement sounded again.

This time, Nie Guangyi was not allergic and was sleeping soundly.

These days, because he was thinking about the letter from the lost and found office and the fear of having to fly, Nie Guangyi never slept well.

At this moment, with the comfort of "Compound Zaoren Capsules", I slept soundly.

As soon as the descent announcement sounds, the flight attendant will come over to remind passengers to straighten their seat backs.

For people like Nie Guangyi who originally lie flat, the noise is much louder than those in economy class.

At other times, the stewardess does not need to disturb you. This kind of preparation before landing is related to flight safety and must be reminded.

Nie Guangyi was called up just like that. Before he could figure out what was going on, the business class flight attendant was already helping him adjust his seat.

It's better now.

Nie Yinfei immediately knew that he was not lying on the bed, and also knew that the plane was about to enter the descent process.

The takeoff and landing stages are the two periods with the highest probability of aircraft accidents.

The entire descent process for international flights is quite lengthy.

This has always been Nie Guangyi's nightmare.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought about leaving "righteous indignation" in the descending stage from the beginning.

Yes, where is his indignation?

Didn’t you still have it in your hand before?

Then he freed one hand to apply ice to Dream Heart.

What next?

Then he took sleeping pills and fell asleep.

What about the letter?

Where is the letter?

Without being filled with righteous indignation and being moved to death, is there any use?

Nie Guangyi's head turned around, but he couldn't see where the letter Professor Nie wrote to him was. He was panicking visibly.

"Are you looking for this?" Meng Xinzhi asked after the flight attendant left.

"Did you watch it?"

"I saw this letter fell on the ground, so I put it away for you."

"How did you know it was a letter if you didn't read it?" Nie Guangyi was so nervous that he couldn't control his words.

"Because there is an envelope. I put it in the envelope for you. Naturally, I knew it was a letter."

"You really didn't see it?"

Meng Xinzhi was a little disgusted and directly counterattacked: "I am a girl, how could I not watch it?"

Nie Guangyi finally recovered some of his consciousness from the attack of sleep and nervousness, and realized that the series of questions he had just asked were indeed a bit excessive.

That's not what he meant.

But he couldn't tell what he meant.

"I mean..." Nie Guangyi paused for a long time before saying, "I mean, it's okay if you look at it."

Meng Xinzhi did not argue with Nie Guangyi, but said: "I don't have the habit of checking other people's letters."

"Yes, yes, I don't have a fear of flying. I'm not nervous at all now..."

There is no three hundred taels of silver here, and Li Si next door never stole it.

Dream heart is speechless.

Considering Nie Guangyi's fear of flying, he didn't really get angry.

After all, she even forgiven the injury on her hand.

If given a choice, Meng Xinzhi would never be able to take the same flight as Nie Guangyi again.

Um.

if.

"Are you sure you want me to read this letter?" Meng Xinzhi asked.

"I'm sure! This is a letter written to me. Who else can be more sure than me? Don't say you've read it, just read it." Nie Guangyi waved his hand: "Don't make a loud noise, and you don't need any money!"

"..."

Is there something wrong?

Nie Guangyi quickly changed his words: "If you don't make a loud noise, you won't get paid!"

Well, it’s better not to give up money…

Meng Xinzhi said nothing and silently returned the letter to Nie Guangyi.

She was actually a little curious about what was written in this letter.

Not the content, but the words themselves.

The words on the envelope were written vigorously and beautifully.

But it's just a passing curiosity.

She has been to so many museums and read so many famous historical posters, and she has already developed some resistance to beautiful calligraphy.

"Girl." Nie Guangyi tried hard to attract Meng Xinzhi's attention.

Normally, Young Master Guangyi would not be like this, and Nie Tiancai was even more focused than his head.

This moment was an exception. If Meng Xinzhi ignored him, his soul might leave his body.

"Girl, girl."

Meng Xin was afraid that Nie Guangyi would attract the attention of people nearby if he kept calling her like that, so she replied: "The girl is very busy."

Nie Guangyi didn't care what Meng Xinzhi answered.

As long as there is a response, it is considered a victory.

"I heard before that the girl majored in cultural relics and museums, right?" Nie Guangyi tried very hard to think of a topic that Meng Xinzhi might be interested in. "In my opinion, which cultural relic in our country is the best among the cultural relics?"

Cultural relics?”

"Cultural relics among cultural relics?" Meng Xinzhi did have some interest, but she didn't know what Nie Guangyi wanted to ask.

"That is, girl, can you choose the most powerful one among all the cultural relics in our country?"

"This is a bit difficult." Meng Xinzhi said, "Our country has 195 cultural relics that are prohibited from export. The first batch of 64 in 2002, the second batch of 37 in 2012, and 94 in 2013. Among them

Each piece can be called a cultural relic among cultural relics. It is impossible to have an exact answer."

"I know, I mean, I just want to hear what the girl has to say about her family."

"I heard you play the erhu the other day, so you must be proficient in music. For you, the cultural relic among the cultural relics may be Zeng Houyi's Chime Bell, which was among the first batch of cultural relics banned from export. Many people call it the artifact of the country.

.”

"Why?"

"Because the discovery of this chime directly rewrote the history of world music." Meng Xinzhi said.

"How to rewrite it?"

"You know that the piano is tuned using twelve equal temperaments, right?"

"Well, the globally accepted octave interval is actually divided into twelve equal parts according to the proportion of wavelength. The ratio of wavelengths between two adjacent rhythms is exactly the same. This is a physical and mechanical wave problem."

"Then do you know who invented the law of twelve equals?" Meng Xinzhi asked again.

"Yeah," Nie Guangyi answered selectively: "Baidu said that there was a prince named Zhu Zaiyu in the Ming Dynasty who was proficient in mathematics. He used abacus prescription to propose the [New Method of Density], invented the twelve equal laws, and made

The world’s first fixed-tone instrument.”

"Why do you specifically emphasize Baidu?" Meng Xinzhi caught one detail.

"Because this statement is controversial. More people will think that the Twelve Equal Temperament theory was introduced to China along with Western musical instruments. In European history, the founder of the Twelve Equal Temperament theory was the Frenchman Malin Mason, who in 1638

Published "General Theory of Harmony", which laid the foundation for twelve-well-tempered Western musical instruments such as the piano."

"1638." Meng Xinzhi paused, "Zhu Zaiyu's research on the twelve equal laws was in the twelfth year of Wanli, that is, 1584, a full 52 years earlier. Chinese scholars believe that it was the work of missionaries.

Matthew spread Zhu Zaiyu’s twelve equal laws to Europe.”

"I have heard this statement, but Western scholars don't think so. They think that Malan Mason did not refer to Zhu Zaiyu's research results, and symphony is originally music from the West. We piano students will think that it is very

The master of the two equal-tempered works is Bach, and his "Well-Tempered Piano Collection" is the originator of equal-tempered works in the true sense."

"Even though there is a difference of 52 years, there is still endless debate, right?" Meng Xinzhi gradually became interested in continuing the conversation.

Nie Guangyi replied: "The music of twelve equal temperaments has not become the mainstream music in ancient my country. When we talk about Western music, we will think of the symphony of twelve equal temperaments. When we talk about Chinese classical music, we will only think of your sister every day. Humming Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu."

"That's true." Meng Xinzhi's eyes lit up a bit: "Then what if I tell you that Zeng Houyi's chimes during the Warring States Period already used the twelve equal temperaments? How is this earlier than Malan Mason?

Both are 2000 years old.”

Amid Nie Guangyi's surprise, Meng Xinzhi concluded with a bright smile: "When historical records cannot rectify our name, unearthed cultural relics can!"

Nie Guangyi was fascinated by Meng Xinzhi's smile.

This smile was different from when he saw Meng Xinzhi before.

When they met for the first time, Meng Xinzhi gave him the impression that he drank the dew from the magnolia in the morning and ate the fallen chrysanthemums at night, as pure as the chrysanthemums in autumn.

At that time, the dream heart gave people a sense of distance.

Nie Guangyi himself actually gives people a sense of distance.

But the sense of distance and the sense of distance are different.

The kind of dream mind can be viewed from a distance but not played with.

Nie Guangyi has eyes on the top of his head.

These are the impressions of the first meeting.

At this moment, at this moment, Nie Guangyi suddenly saw the smoke and smoke from Meng Xin's body.

A lively modern girl, no longer pure and distant.

Nie Guangyi was sincerely happy because of the smile on the girl's face.

【You are happy so I am happy.】

This feeling is quite terrifying!

Especially geniuses like Nie Guangyi, who are accustomed to basing their own happiness on the pain of others.

Thinking of this, Nie Guangyi shook his head violently and despised himself in his heart: [What are you thinking about? Is now the time to think about whether it is better to build happiness on pain or happiness?

?Don’t forget, you are a person who is afraid of flying! You keep staring at others, and they stop talking to you in anger. What should you do?]

"When the girl just said that Zeng Hou Yi's chime bell is a cultural relic, she specifically emphasized that it is for me, but what about the girl? Does the girl think so too?"

"Personally, I would probably vote for the T-shaped silk painting on Tomb No. 1 in Mawangdui." Meng Xinzhi actually has his own answer.

However, as a student majoring in cultural relics and museums, she prefers not to "rank seniority" for cultural relics.

Each of the 195 cultural relics that are prohibited from traveling abroad or being exhibited overseas is a national treasure.

The first batch of 64 pieces is each unique in its own way.

"Mawangdui Tomb No. 1 is Xin Zhui's tomb, right?" Nie Guangyi asked.

"Yes, the cemetery of Xin Zhui, the wife of Li Cang, the Prime Minister of Changsha in the Western Han Dynasty."

The beginning of the dream heart is explained in detail:

"The status of the Prime Minister's wife is not noble compared with the tombs of various emperors."

"But Xin Zhui is the best preserved wet corpse in the world."

"After being exhumed after more than two thousand years, the body is not only complete, but also elastic."

"The T-shaped silk painting is the inscription on the innermost layer of Xin Zhui's four-layer coffin."

"This inscription records and discusses the world after death."

"From bottom to top, it records the underground world, human funerals and the soul-drawing in heaven."

"It explains how Xin Zhui ascended to heaven step by step."

"The T-shaped silk paintings in Tomb No. 1 at Mawangdui show us the romantic world after death."

"Because of such a beautiful afterlife, we can remember and pay homage to our deceased relatives."

Nie Guangyi was a little reluctant to accept that Meng Xinzhi used words like "romantic" and "beautiful" to describe the world after death.

He was originally afraid of flying, but Meng Xinzhi's words reminded him of his deceased mother.

Nie Guangyi felt like vomiting, and it was directly physiological.

However, the restroom was not available for use during the plane's descent.

Meng Xinzhi soon noticed something strange about Nie Guangyi, and immediately changed the topic: "Among the first batch of cultural relics banned from overseas exhibition, there is one thing that modern people will despise when they see it. [That's it... this is definitely not

The one from time travel... is not as good as the one from my home...], I have a picture of that cultural relic on my phone, do you want to take a look?"

Nie Guangyi was obviously about to vomit, but he forced himself to hold it back until tears came out.

Seeing that Nie Guangyi had recovered, Meng Xinzhi handed the picture she found on her phone to him: "Look, this is it. This is the top-notch Warring States cultural relic in the first list of cultural relics prohibited from overseas exhibition."

Nie Guangyi glanced at the picture and saw that it was a transparent cup.

Except that it is a little older and the shape is a little drab, it is almost the same as the transparent glass used for drinking water at home.

Meng Xinzhi solemnly told Nie Guangyi: "This is a national treasure cultural relic - the Warring States Crystal Cup."

Nie Guangyi wanted to ask: [Girl, are you sure you are not kidding me?]

He opened his mouth, but before he could even say the word "aunt", he lost control and spat on the girl's hand.

Even Meng Xinzhi’s cell phone suffered a disaster...

…

…

"This must be the sequelae of the Zaoren capsules you forced me to take!"

Nie Guangyi found out the reason...

…

…

[Floating comments]

Are there any friends who want to travel back in time to the Warring States Period?

Remember to bring a set of drinking glasses from home when traveling through time. If you are lucky, you will be rich in minutes...

Zhu Zaiyu studied the twelve equal temperaments in his "Lv Lu Jing Yi" and "Music Rhythm Complete Book". Interested friends can check it out.

At the age of ten, Zhu Zaiyu became the crown prince of King Zheng Gong and Zhu Housan, but he had no interest in inheriting the throne.

Even if the throne is offered to him, he won't even want it.

He "fighted" with the emperor for fifteen years before he was agreed not to inherit the throne.

In this regard, he is much more aware than the Eternal Art Emperor who inherited the throne as soon as he fell from the sky.

It is obviously only suitable for people who devote themselves to art and academics to be emperors and vassals.

Zhu Zaiyu, who gave up the throne, was revered as the "Sage of Law" by later generations. He was a famous law expert, historian and musician in ancient my country.
