In the Yuan and Wei dynasties, those who advocated acting and craftsmanship were of low status and were not allowed to change their status without reason. Therefore, most of the descendants had to engage in this profession, and their social status was extremely low.
If you are a man, you can only work hard to get into the official position from music. It is best to become a music officer, even if you are from the ninth rank.
Don't even think about women becoming officials. Even when the imperial court chooses maids, they only choose sons of good families. But there is still a way out: if you have outstanding looks, you can marry common people, nobles, or officials as concubines, which has a lot of potential.
I hope I can turn over.
Therefore, even the serious musicians brought over by Li Chengxian and Gao Wenjun still regard young men like Li Chengzhi, who are rich in youth, outstanding in talent and appearance, not only have official status, but also have no wives and concubines, as fat. No matter what
Whichever room he entered, regardless of gender or age, all eyes would light up, and the temperature in the room would rise several degrees out of thin air.
Especially those who have married: their lives are ruined, but who doesn’t have one or two daughters?
Li Chengzhi had walked through the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, so he was not uncomfortable, but it affected the progress of the training. He walked around a few times and saw that everything was in order, so he didn't go in much.
At most, I would just lie under the shade of the trees in the garden, listen to what I was practicing wrong, or get inspiration from a sudden idea, and then I would go in and give some advice.
He really needed his advice: the two semitones "4" and "7" are rarely used in classical music, and they are not played in most classical music. Local instruments such as the zither and flute are not specialized in playing these two.
The frets and holes of the notes all require special skills to play.
The court musicians are okay. Although they are rarely used, they have some contact with them. Like folk musicians, some even don’t know that these two partial tones can be included in the score. So once they have practiced these two tones, they invite these
80% to 90% of musicians will mutter.
As a result, we can only use foreign products such as pipa and suona to demonstrate the timbres of these two partial tones to the musicians, but Gao Wenjun is too busy alone, so Li Chengzhi also has to come.
All the musicians were surprised: These scores were all compiled by Li Houlang? What was even more surprising was that he could add two partial tones into the music scores even though he didn't know music, and still make it so harmonious?
Gao Zhan and Li Chengxian were even more surprised: If it can still be like this, do you understand it or not?
No wonder people spread false rumors that Li Chengzhi is a god of wisdom?
Li Chengzhi couldn't explain it easily, so he only said that he learned it from Gao Wenjun. But the problem is, neither of them knew it. Before meeting Li Chengzhi, Gao Wenjun never knew how to do it.
Li Chengzhi is fooling them into thinking they are fools...
Although the music score and playing method were created by Li Chengzhi, they were also carefully thought out by Gao Wenjun, Li Chengxian, a master of Taiyue, and a group of extremely professional music officials. Wherever there is a solo, where there is a chorus, and which instrument is used, everything is carefully arranged.
Detailed and reasonable.
In addition, instruments such as blowing, stringing, strumming, and percussion are divided into several rooms to practice separately, and the musicians are all veterans, so the training progress is not as fast as usual.
After one day of practice, each music room has mastered "Song of a Hero" and "Heart of Iron and Blood" perfectly. This is under the premise that none of the musicians have ever been exposed to two semitones.
Li Chengzhi firmly believed that they would practice together for one day at most tomorrow, and performing on stage with these two pieces would definitely not be a problem. Afraid of wasting time, he did not let the musicians go back when it got dark, and planned to continue practicing after dinner.
Most of these musicians live in Le City, which is the "tuning" and "music theory" areas of the big city west of Guocheng. All artists who make a living from music and performing arts are concentrated here: for example, they are good at making various musical instruments.
Craftsmen who are good at playing various musical instruments, musicians who can arrange music and create music, as well as maikos and actors who make a living by dancing and acrobatics.
A variety of musical instruments are also sold. Popular musical instruments from the Southern and Northern Dynasties and surrounding countries can be found here. Gao Wenjun and Wei Yu were kidnapped here...
The music market is in the southwest of the capital, and this place is in the northeast of the capital. It is a full 40 miles away, and a faster horse carriage would take two hours to go up. So Li Chengzhi simply let these musicians live here temporarily, promising to do it three times a day.
The food, wine, water and meat are enough for the esophagus.
Unless you are willing to lay down your body and sell your skin and meat, there are not many wealthy people in this industry. It is normal for ten and a half months to go without food and wine. Seeing the ice wine of pork knuckles and mutton legs served like running water, all the musicians were happy. Secretly
I was grateful to Li Chengzhi for treating them so kindly, and I was even more surprised by Li Houlang's generosity.
The Central Committee of the Capital could not find many musicians who were willing to pay ten gold per person per day for a banquet, and who would take care of enough food and wine for every meal...
A few of them secretly went to ask Li Chengzhi: Does the house need a singer or a dancer? They are all in their prime, and their appearance and figure are definitely first-class...
Gao Zhan almost had his legs broken.
These blind people are not introducing actors and actresses to Li Chengzhi. They clearly want to stuff their daughters into Li Chengzhi's house, hoping that Li Chengzhi will take them into his house.
It's so ambitious that it takes the courage of a leopard, and it's even more whimsical!
With Gao Zhao's attitude towards Li Chengzhi, no matter how stupid Gao Zhan is, he knows that his father has a tacit attitude. Li Chengzhi will be his brother-in-law sooner or later. Even Ji will have a natural advantage if he moves in a day early.
Aren’t you making it clear that you are causing trouble for the third sister?
Furthermore, Li Chengzhi wants to take concubines, and there are a lot of concubines from well-known families. Why do he need to slander his reputation and take a concubine?
Even Li Chengzhi may feel novel and curious, but why would he marry into his family?
What kind of guild halls are there by Luoshui? Tell me quietly and I’ll just take you there secretly...
If Gao Wenjun hadn't stopped him, he would have taken action long ago.
Gao Zhan's nose almost burst into flames: "Why did Third Sister stop me?"
Gao Wenjun pursed his lips and smiled: "Don't worry, third brother, Lang Jun won't accept it!"
Gao Zhan looked puzzled: "Why?"
Gao Wenjun's face turned slightly red: Just look at himself and Zhang Jingmo.
But how can she say it?
"Don't ask, I just don't know how!"
Actors who can be sold into the houses of officials and nobles are naturally unmarried, at the age of twelve, thirty or four. But for such an actor, even if he is an immortal descended from the earth, with unparalleled talent and beauty, or even a family of Shilu, a scholarly family.
Secondly, Mr. Lang never takes a second look.
For example, Xiao Yuer!
Thinking in her mind, she looked outside the hall again.
Li Chengzhi was half leaning on the turret, enjoying the mountain breeze and drinking cold wine. Wei Yu stood aside, and the two of them were silent for a long time.
With the husband's caring and loving nature, anyone who could guess even half of Xiao Yu'er's thoughts would definitely not embarrass her like this...
But what can be done?
Let nature take its course...
With a sigh, Gao Wenjun kicked Gao Zhan away and summoned all the musicians to the hall to prepare for practice together.
Gao Zhan couldn't figure it out. Is there any cat in the world that doesn't steal fish?
Why don't we go to Li Chengzhi to talk to him and see if it's really what the third sister said?
After looking around in circles for a long time, Gao Zhan noticed the two shadowy figures on the turret.
The one lying half-lying must be Li Chengzhi, but the one standing is actually Wei Yu?
Gao Zhan looked weird.
It was already dark, and the moon was already approaching the west mountain. There were no lights in the building, and there was no one around. One of these two is unmarried, and the other is not married. Are you trying to avoid violating the rules?
Li Chengzhi is a man with a naturally rough temperament, so he will not be defensive. Although Wei Yu has grown up, he is still childlike and innocent, and he probably did not expect it.
But why didn’t Third Sister remind me?
Gao Zhan had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly remembered Gao Wenjun's look at the turret just now, and the look on Wei Yu's face that was even more embarrassing than the third sister's when he heard that Li Chengzhi was sleeping with a prostitute during the day.
Xiao Yuer only got her hair tied the night before, and she came here early yesterday morning to look for Li Chengzhi?
And the hairpin on her head seems to have been given to her by Li Chengzhi’s mother...
It was like being frozen solid, Gao Zhan couldn't even breathe.
No...it can't be right?
The third sister actually had a laissez-faire attitude... No, she was clearly encouraging Wei Yu?
Does the eldest brother know, does the father know?
Eighty percent of the time I know...
The problem is, these two are both eldest daughters...this...this...what should we do?
Gao Zhan's mouth felt bitter, and he stared blankly at the two people on the turret, not daring to move forward even half a step...
……
One of the two was sitting and drinking, the other was standing and acting violently. They had been frozen for a long time.
Seeing that Wei Yu didn't speak and just stared at him, Li Chengzhi was very helpless: "What exactly do you want to say?"
What do you want me to say, am I reminding you: I am too late for my haircut?
You can't be annoyed, you can't argue, and you can't cry... You must remember to admit your mistakes first, and be nice...
Reciting the words taught by Gao Wenjun in his heart, Wei Yu gritted his teeth tightly. After a long time, he finally realized: "I...I was wrong!"
Li Chengzhi was so shocked that he almost spit a mouthful of wine into Wei Yu's face.
After months of fighting, when did Wei Yu ever admit defeat? Even if the stolen goods were placed in front of her, she would definitely refuse to admit it...
He turned his head sharply and looked to the west: Yes, Emei Moon has already hung on the treetops and is about to set. The sun has not come out from the west either...
Li Chengzhi stretched out his hand half-jokingly, and naturally dropped it to Wei Yu's forehead, jokingly saying: "Are you suffering from a fever due to cold?"
Wei Yu didn't hide. When he felt Li Chengzhi's cool palm, his body trembled slightly.
Li Chengzhi was shocked: "You really have a fever?"
Good guy, my forehead is so hot that I can hardly hold my hands. Not only is it burning, but I'm also shaking. It's obvious that I'm sick.
It was this exclamation that directly caused Wei Yu to break his skills. His upper and lower teeth were as wrong as chewing beans: "You just have a fever, your whole family has a fever..."
Li Chengzhi was angry and laughed at the same time: This tone of voice and this sentence pattern, it is clear that he learned from him.
It turns out that I'm not sick, but angry, because I suspected that I was a prostitute?
"My conscience really fed the dog. We have known each other for so long, but you don't believe me as a person?" Li Chengzhi laughed out loud, "Even if you want to defend your sister, you can't make yourself so angry?"
He paused for a moment and then said seriously: "Don't worry, I'm not as miserable as you think!"
First, it is really good to clean oneself, and second, Li Chengzhi always feels that his body seems to be growing.
It’s right to think about it, you only turn eighteen in a month, how can you still grow for a year and a half!
Just because you can live two more years with a stronger body, it is better to be more conservative...
Hearing this sounded like a reassurance, and Wei Yu's anger disappeared.
Why can't I just fight for myself?
She hesitated in her heart, but after all, without Gao Wenjun's will and determination, some words could not be said no matter what.
After waiting for a long time, Wei Yu said in a voice like a mosquito: "I was indeed wrong today... I will play a song to make amends to you!"
As he spoke, he took off the flute from his waist.
Li Chengzhi thinks it’s weird: Wei Yu today is so abnormal, as if he’s a different person?
Surprised in his heart, he asked subconsciously: "What new song did your cousin learn? What song?"
It was "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix", which Gao Wenjun taught her, but Wei Yu still couldn't tell her.
"You...just listen..."
His face was really hot, as if he had a fever, and even his voice was trembling. Not only were his hands shaking, but he could not even breathe evenly. The more anxious Wei Yu became, the less able he was to make any sound. For a while, only the sound came from the flute.
There were a few muffled sounds of "kukukuku".
If it had been in the past, Li Chengzhi would not have laughed. But at this time, there was no funny thought in his heart.
I was angry before, but what about now?
Wei Yu clearly wanted to say something but couldn't, and was extremely embarrassed, so he was so nervous...
There seemed to be a thread popping up in his mind, waving at him. As long as Li Chengzhi thought about it, he might be able to reveal the truth.
Just a little short of it, several loud noises suddenly came from downstairs: "Lights, lights, wait for lights, lights, lights, wait for lights!"
There are not only drums, gongs, and cymbals, but also the harmonies of suona, harp, pipa, harp, flute and other musical instruments.
Eight times in a row, loud and crisp!
The music score was written and compiled by Li Chengzhi, how could he not recognize it?
He was immediately overjoyed and stood up suddenly: Gao Wenjun's progress is so fast, he actually wants to practice "Song of a Hero" together?
Wei Yu was angry and anxious: I finally mustered up the courage, but was interrupted like this?
She almost threw the flute in her hand to the ground, crying: "How can I play it?"
Li Chengzhi was in a good mood, and he only regarded Wei Yu as a child. His palm naturally fell on Wei Yu's little head, and he coaxed warmly: "It doesn't matter, it's not too late to blow it later...or I'll blow it for you."
The song is sure to sound good!"
Wei Yu suddenly broke down in tears and smiled, her heart was as sweet as honey...
