The orchids are falling, and the dark red bananas are on the screen.
I have a leisurely dream of the ripe plum blossoms in the south of the Yangtze River, and the sound of the flute on the boat at night.
Renyu Yibian Bridge.
——"Dream of Jiangnan: Orchid Embers Fall" Huangfu Song (Tang Dynasty)
…
The two of them settled down at the head of the boat. Princess Qingluan felt at ease and said to Bai Bai again: "Are you still worried that you haven't received the letter and won't come today?"
Bai Fu smiled and said: "I just rushed back to Chang'an early this morning. I didn't have time to inform you, so I came directly to Qujiang."
The two of them chatted as if there was no one else around, minding their own business.
The children of the aristocratic family who were outing were very angry and thought to themselves: "Where did this young boy dare to chat with Her Royal Highness on this lonely boat?!"
More than a dozen high-rise boats belonging to wealthy families came over at the same time, surrounding the unicorn boat and the flat boat.
Cui Xunhe of Qinghe, who claimed to be unparalleled in talent and appearance, took the lead in attacking. He bowed to Princess Qingluan and said loudly: "Your Highness, the wind is beautiful and the sun is beautiful today, and the scenery is pleasant. I would like to play the zither and wish you happiness!"
Princess Qingluan's attention was entirely on Bai Fu, so she didn't pay much attention and nodded casually.
Cui Xunhe glared at Bai Fu fiercely, took out a valuable guqin and placed it on the bow table. With a wave of his hand, he played the song "Spring River Flower Moon". The tune was ups and downs and full of atmosphere, making the young masters of the aristocratic families nod their heads frequently.
.
Only then did all the girls on the Qilin boat come back to their senses. They gathered around the railing on the side of the boat and looked at Cui's building boat in Qinghe.
At the end of the song, Cui Xunhe stood tall on the bow of the boat and saluted and thanked the surrounding ships one by one.
All the girls on the Qilin boat cheered in unison and threw hydrangea bouquets in their hands to Cui's boat in Qinghe.
Cui Xunhe had a look on his face and subconsciously looked at Princess Qingluan. Princess Qingluan looked affectionately at the boy in white next to her and just clapped politely.
Cui Xunhe, with a livid face, walked quickly back to the cabin and never appeared again.
Zheng Lu, the eldest son of the Zheng family in Xingyang, was a smooth and sophisticated man, and he could tell at a glance that Cui Xunhe was in trouble. Zheng Lu secretly laughed in his heart and exclaimed: "Cui Xunhe, Cui Xunhe, I didn't expect you to be like this!"
On weekdays, relying on a little bit of beauty, claiming to be Pan An and Song Yu, he fools around in the crowd and deceives many young ladies in Chang'an. Today is really a relief! Let's see if you dare to brag about it in the capital in the future?!"
Zheng Lu looked at Bai Fu carefully and thought to himself: "This young man in white is very majestic and has extraordinary bearing. However, the boat he is riding in is really simple and crude. He is probably a member of a poor family."
It is said that Princess Qingluan learned powerful martial arts from Aunt Gongsun. It is estimated that this person is a knight-errant and a friend of the princess in the world.
If this is the case, there is a way to defeat him."
With a thought in his mind, Zheng Lu bowed his hands to the surrounding buildings and boats, and said with a smile: "Brother Cui of Qinghe is unparalleled in his piano skills. I don't dare to show my embarrassment.
But there is a music troupe in my house, imitating the Liyuan, with talented violinists and singers. I would like to ask them to play a song to entertain the tourists on both sides of the Qujiang River today who are enjoying the flowers."
Zheng's music group is quite famous in Chang'an and Luoyang, and it is rare for ordinary people to have the opportunity to listen to it. When everyone heard it, they immediately clapped, cheered, and whistled.
Zheng Lu waved his hand, and the drums and music on the boat were loud. The sound of gold and iron in the music was loud, implying the meaning of a battle formation, and it was exactly the song "Ambush from Flying Daggers".
Zheng's Ensemble truly deserves its reputation. In addition to the outstanding luthiers and singers, even the instruments are unique. Among the instruments in the ensemble, there is a set of bronze chimes.
The sound of the chimes is distant and melodious. On the key beat, the musician hits the fou fiercely, which is deafening and enlightening.
Bai Fu was shocked when he heard the chime bells playing. The feeling he had when he was playing with bronzes in an antique shop some time ago resurfaced again.
Princess Qingluan looked at the Zheng Family Ensemble and said disdainfully: "The Zheng family in Xingyang loves to show off. Usually the music houses of wealthy and famous families use bronze chimes to perform. His family took advantage of its location in Xingyang and used bronze chimes to rehearse."
Zheng Lu said that this set of bronze chimes are ancient artifacts from the Yin and Shang Dynasties, but I don’t know if they are true or not. Huh!”
Bai Fu pondered for a moment and said: "This set of chimes is indeed a bronze from the Yin and Shang Dynasties."
At this moment, Bai Fu realized the wonderful use of bronze. The Xunkan Qi in his body came from the Jiuding of Dayu, and Jiuding was the ancestor of bronzes in the world.
As long as it is a bronze vessel from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, Bai Fu can feel it.
On the contrary, these bronzes that have lasted for thousands of years contain the aura of heaven and earth from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. If it can be channeled out, it will not be as good as the Jiuding of Yu the Great, but it can also be of great benefit to one's own practice.
The treasures of Mrs. Guo and Princess Taiping included a large number of bronze vessels. If they were not used to assist in spiritual practice, it would be a waste of resources.
As soon as this thought came out, Bai Fu's eyes flashed with extraordinary colors.
While her mind was wandering in the sky, Princess Qingluan poked Bai Fu and said: "Why are you so stunned? Look, they are coming for you!".
Bai Fu took a closer look and saw that Zheng's orchestra had finished playing "Ambush from Flying Daggers".
I saw Zheng Lu bowing his hands in front of me and saluting him, and said: "I heard that this young master is also proficient in music. I wonder if you can let us see it and join in today's outing and enjoy the grand event!"
Zheng Lu learned from his cousin that Princess Qingluan liked to make friends with knights in the world.
Since he was a knight in the Jianghu, he must be rough and shallow, and he had never seen the grace of the famous people in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. So, he praised Bai Fu enthusiastically and deliberately embarrassed Bai Fu.
There were cheers from the surrounding buildings and boats. A group of children from aristocratic families had evil intentions, and there were hints of boos in the cheers.
The children of these wealthy families have strict family traditions, profound family knowledge, and are usually elegant. But today, everyone wants to get the upper hand in front of Princess Qingluan, but they never expected that Princess Qingluan's heart is tied to someone else.
If this person is also a relative of the emperor and a famous family, it doesn't matter, he can only let himself be punished. However, Bai Fu is an unknown person from a poor family. This makes everyone feel jealous and get together to cause trouble.
It should be said that many descendants of the Guanlong nobles such as Dugu and Changsun knew Bai Fu. However, before the Anlu Mountain rebellion, these families had followed Taifu Xu to move south to the south of the Yangtze River, and most of their descendants were in Yi and Yangzhou.
On the other hand, in the Qiwang family of the Five Surnames, before the Anlushan Rebellion, in the Qiwang Family of the Five Surnames, except for the capable adults who served as officials in Chang'an, most of the children of the family studied in schools in their hometowns.
The rebels moved south, smoke spread everywhere, and the homeland was in chaos. Some of the children of these families moved south, while others moved west, and gathered in the Chang'an area of the capital.
While visiting relatives and friends, the children of the clan competed with each other, became more competitive, and acted more and more impetuously, which led to what happened today.
In addition, there is another deep-seated reason why the children of these aristocratic families look down on the poor scholars: at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Sui Dynasty, the Li and Tang royal families had been deliberately suppressing the Guanlong nobles and powerful families, and deliberately reused courtiers from the common people.
In addition, most of the "Five Surnames" famous families entered the officialdom through their family background, which was against the imperial examination. As a result, many common people from poor families stood out through the imperial examination and became important ministers of the imperial court. Among them, there are Zhang Jiuling, the famous Prime Minister, and
Fools and powerful officials, such as Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu, the prime ministers of the Wu Zhou Dynasty.
The An Lushan Rebellion devastated all life in the world, and the interests of prominent families were also severely violated.
The wealthy family believed that this chaos had a lot to do with Xuanzong's appointment of Li Linfu, a member of the declining royal family, and Yang Guozhong, a relative of the common people, as prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.
As soon as Suzong regained the two capitals, the patriarchs of the five surnames and Qiwang held an alliance meeting in Luoyang. They asked the wealthy families to stop boycotting the imperial examinations and instead use their profound family traditions to win over the poorer ones. Use the imperial examinations to select scholars and let the clan The middle school disciple once again entered the imperial court hub and regained control of the imperial court.
…
Bai Fu returned the gift to Zheng Lu and declined politely.
Unexpectedly, this strengthened Zheng Lu's judgment. He looked around the building and said loudly: "Real celebrities come from a romantic background! Is it possible that a scholar from a poor family only knows the stereotyped articles of the imperial examination?"
Princess Qingluan said to Bai Fu: "Let's compare, what are you afraid of what this Fatty Zheng will do!"
Bai Fu smiled calmly and said, "Why bother with such common people?"
Princess Qingluan pouted.
Princess Qingluan has something in her heart that is hard to tell: Whether it is the Zheng family in Xingyang or the Cui family in Qinghe, they have been pestering her since they came to the capital. They have tried every means to get close to her through the girl they have become friends with.
The father wanted to get rid of his grandfather's old ministers from intervening in politics, so he deliberately tried to win over these wealthy families and refused to allow himself to use force to expel these crazy bees and butterflies.
Therefore, Princess Qingluan came up with a plan to use today's outing to let the people she loves kill them. She took the opportunity to tell these disciples that she was famous and had a master, so she should give up this idea as soon as possible.
When Bai Fu saw Princess Qingluan ignoring him and standing aside angrily, he couldn't help but smile and said with a smile: "Okay, I promise you, I will destroy them all!"
Princess Qingluan was overjoyed, took out a jade flute from her arms, handed it to Bai Fu, and said: "I asked my father for this, and I'll give it to you!"
Bai Fu took the jade flute and saw that the body of the flute was as bright as the moon. It looked like a rare and precious thing.
Bai Fu put the jade flute to his mouth, tried a few notes, and then stood proudly on the bow of the boat, blowing the jade flute horizontally, his clothes flying, like a fairy.
As soon as the flute sounds, spring is warm, flowers are blooming, and the breeze is gentle.
The sound of the flute suddenly rises and falls, swirling gracefully, until it is almost inaudible. After several rounds, it becomes even deeper, almost whimpering and complaining, like the astringent stream of a cold spring.
Although the sound of the flute is subtle, every tourist on both sides of the Qujiang River can clearly hear it. It is as if the flute player has transformed into an elf the size of a petal, riding on a red dragonfly and playing, and a "swish" sound passes by the ear, leaving the lingering sound in the brain , everlasting.
In the bass, there are occasional melodies the size of rice grains, crisp and short, rising one after another, like rain hitting banana trees. Gradually, the sound becomes more complex, like hail falling on a fisherman's bamboo hat and coir raincoat.
The sound gradually died down again, and then there was a loud sound of water, like the splashing of a spring, accompanied by the fragrance of flowers, the chirping of birds, and the chirping of cranes and pines.
Hearing the sound of the flute, the gulls, herons and partridges flying on the Qujiang Lake circled and landed one after another, either staying on the branches or floating on the water. The chirping of the birds echoed the sound of the flute, and their chirps competed with each other. .
…
Gradually the wind blows, the remaining spring flowers fall, and the birds disappear. There is a continuous drizzle, if it is there or not, and finally everything is silent.
Suddenly, there was a thunderbolt, several rattling sounds, the clouds and smoke changed rapidly, the wind and thunder roared, the lightning was loud, and a drum rushed through Kuimen Pass.
As the sound of the flute rises, a strange phenomenon appears on the lake.
There was a sound of water, and three large Yellow River carp, which were more than ten feet long, jumped out of the water, with shining scales, arranged in a Z-shaped pattern, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and fell heavily back to the water, setting off three huge flowers. of water splash.
Tourists on both sides of the Qujiang River had heard such a natural flute, and were about to cheer when they heard the flute sound return to peace, like clouds covering the forest brows, smoke hiding in the mouth of the water, and rain breaking the mountainside. It turned out to be the melody of "Xiaoya Lu Ming".
Tourists on both sides of the Taiwan Strait feel nostalgic for their homeland, and their emotions resonate uncontrollably. They can't help but follow the sound of the flute and sing to the heaven.
"Hey, the deer roars, eating the apples of the wild. I have a guest, playing the harp and sheng..."
"Hey, the deer roars, the root of the wild food. I have a guest, playing the harp, harp, drum and harp..."
