Cai Yong has held this piano gathering for three years. His purpose is to use the piano to meet friends and find his close friends.
Hua Xin was one of the invitees. He used the second half of the Song of Chu "Li Sao" as the title to express the depression and contradiction of those loyal ministers who had been slandered and killed since Heng Ling. At the same time, he insinuated the fatuousness of the Ling Emperor and denounced the rampant eunuchs.
He is at odds with the government.
Later, Xi Zhicai also borrowed Hua Xin's harp and played the same song, with the title "Cherishing Ode" from Qu Yuan's Nine Chapters. He also expressed the helplessness of scholars who were not recognized for their talents, and officials who spoke out to give advice but were slandered and ignored.
"Father, can my daughter also go up and play a song?" Cai Yan, who had been behind Cai Yong all the time, suddenly asked.
"Oh, Yan'er must be fifteen years old. I haven't seen Zhi for two years. I heard that your piano skills were passed down from your father. Brother Bozhe should have let Yan'er come out to show off her talent. It's great to see her in front of you.
Among talented men, choose a good son-in-law."
When he heard the word "choosing a son-in-law", Cai Yan blushed and lowered his head.
"Ziqian was joking. I had already arranged a marriage with the Hedong Wei family in the early years, but Ziqian opened his mouth. Zhaoji, just go up and play a piece for your Uncle Lu to listen to."
Cai Yong stopped Lu Zhi's teasing and said with a wry smile.
Zhu Kui took a look at the side and realized that this was indeed the case. Cai Yan and Wei Zhongdao were determined to be married as children. Otherwise, with Cai Yong's ability, how could he not have found out that Wei Zhongdao was a tuberculosis man. Even Lu Zhi was also the same.
What I knew was that I just forgot about it just now, and then he followed Cai Yong and smiled bitterly.
Seeing that his father agreed, Cai Yan smiled happily, with a satisfied smile, picked up Cai Yong's Jiaowei Qin, and went up to the stage.
Zhu Kui had just taken good care of the burnt-tailed harp. There was no difference, but the tail of the harp had a burnt color.
Perhaps Lu Zhi's words played a role in arousing the girl's helplessness and unwillingness towards her marriage, as well as her extravagant desire to always look forward to the ideal husband in her heart.
"Zhao Ji showed her embarrassment."
"Guan Guan Jujiu is in the River Island... My fair lady is coveting it... My fair lady is playing the harp and playing the harp..."
A brisk piano sound rippled out, which was completely different from the previous tunes with themes of landscapes, politics, etc. It was about the love of a girl. For a moment, everyone couldn't help but think of their wives at home, and suddenly the feeling of unsatisfactory career paths was downplayed.
However, Cai Yong frowned and felt unhappy. He, Cai Yong, had been engaged to the Wei family in Hedong since he was a child. This was a matter known to everyone. Wouldn't this sudden appearance of Guan Ju's intention be detrimental to a woman's virtue? Cai Yong
There is no way to teach a daughter.
Lu Zhi was a close friend of Cai Yong, so he naturally understood the whole story and said, "Bo Zhe, you were really right back then. Wei Zhongdao was frail and sickly since he was young, so he is not a good match for Zhao Ji."
"Hey, Zhongdao's grandfather is an old friend of mine. When he was studying abroad in the past, he was much older than me and taught him a lot along the way. Therefore, I have been friends with the Wei family in Hedong for generations, and this marriage was settled from then on."
"Brother Wei has passed away a long time ago. If you regret your marriage, you will never see your late friend in person." Cai Yong sighed helplessly.
The two elders sighed to each other. Cai Yong was a famous person in the world, and the Wei family was from a wealthy family in Hedong. Both of them cherished their fame and it was difficult to regret their marriage.
After the song, Cai Yan thanked Cai Yong and returned to Cai Yong. He saw his father's face was unswerving, he knew what he was doing, and he hid behind Lu Zhi obediently, so he asked for help.
At this time, a sound of ridicule came from the field.
"My master, Yuan Shu, would like to present a special song for Miss Cai's advice." Following the voice, an unusually well-dressed man came onto the stage. He was about 20 years old, with generally handsome features, and his eyes were fixed on Cai Yan.
The corner of his mouth curled up, his eyes fluttered, and his hands moved.
"Zheng!" The scale of the opening hand was high-pitched, exuding a strong air, which was very different from his status as a scribe, and caused many guests to suddenly move in their hearts.
"The long halberd turned over the blood waves, and the black hair drove like light; in the past, the world was spread across the world, and I rushed to the Wujiang River in panic;" in the middle of the song, Yuan Shu suddenly started singing...
"The helmet is cracked and the armor is scattered, the male body is covered with arrow sores; the overlord is trapped under the wall, and the concubine cuts the green frost; the heroic spirit fills the sky and the earth, and refuses to cross the Wujiang River." As the song gradually became high-pitched and then suddenly stopped, the sound of the piano also stopped.
But the audience in this room still felt the sorrow of the hero and the beauty in Farewell My Concubine in the past. This surprised Zhu Kui that the incompetent Zhong family emperor in the official history actually had such a musical skill.
"My nephew is a good piano player, but I don't know the name of this song and who created it?" Cai Yong asked.
"Mr. Bozhe won the prize, and his qin skills are pretty good." Yuan Shu said, "This is "Farewell My Concubine", created by Shu... Zhaoji, what do you think?"
Yuan Shu's fiery and dandy words caused Cai Yong and Lu Zhi to lower this person's rank by several levels. However, the other person's father was Yuan Feng. He was the Taichang Ling of the dynasty, and his family was the fourth generation and the third prince. It was not good.
It's too shameful for the Yuan family, so I won't say anything more.
Cai Yan glared at Yuan Shu with disgust and quietly hid behind Zhu Kui. Zhu Kui turned around and took a look, straightened his body and completely blocked Yuan Shu's sight.
But he didn't know that this move made Yuan Shu frown. The servant who had just accompanied him had informed him of Zhu Kui's identity. He snorted in his heart: "A little barbarian general dares to go against my Yuan family. He doesn't know whether to live or die."
When he thought of the word barbarian general, Yuan Shu smiled coldly and said, "Is this the Yellow Turban Weilu general who pacified Nanyang?"
Seeing Yuan Shu suddenly ask about his title, he couldn't help but be startled, and he was wary. It seemed that the person coming was not good, so he returned calmly: "This is my general. I wonder what Mr. Yuan has to say?"
"How dare you, a young man from a humble family, claim to be a general in front of me? There are people here today who are good at playing the piano. What qualifications do you, a reckless man, have to come here?"
Knowing that Zhu Kui was a military general, he deliberately made him look embarrassed here. As Yuan Shu finished speaking, all the guests immediately looked at him and started whispering to him.
Zhu Kui took a deep look at Yuan Shu and said in a deep voice: "How do you know I'm not good at playing the piano?"
"Oh, since you are good at playing the piano, come up and play a tune."
"Okay! I'm going to show my disgrace!" After saying that, he turned to Cai Yan and said, "Kui didn't bring his piano today. Miss Zhaoji, can I borrow your Jiaowei Qin?"
"Jiaowei Qin?" Cai Yan was stunned, referring to the Qin in my hand, but I never named it, so how did he know. While thinking about it, he handed over the Qin in his hand.
"Thank you!"
"Please give way!" When Zhu Kui came to the stage, he squeezed Yuan Shu away without politeness, then sat down cross-legged and pressed his hands on the strings.
"Today I have the honor to attend Mr. Bo Zhe's piano concert. I will take this opportunity to play a song I composed myself, "Journey into the Wine". Please listen carefully."
"General please!"
Cai Yong took the lead in speaking, and only Yuan Shu snorted coldly.
Zhu Kui lowered his head, closed his eyes, stared for a moment, then suddenly opened them and started playing.
The sound of the piano was sometimes gentle, sometimes impassioned, and then followed the rhythm of the notes and chanted Li Bai's "Jinjinjiu".
Listening to this clear and passionate piano music, everyone seems to be on the bank of the Yellow River, toasting with their close friends and discussing the world; or under the night on the grassland, a few friends are drinking mare's milk and eating mutton; all of them have a kind of revenge in their hearts.
After using it, you will feel the incomparable feeling of pleasure.
"Don't you see, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky. If you are happy in life, you must have all the joy. Don't let the gold bottle stand in the sky. I am born to be useful. I will come back after all the gold is gone. When I drink wine, don't stop the cup. What's the point of the bells and drums decorated with jade?
Noble, I wish I could never wake up after being drunk for a long time. The sages and sages of ancient times are all lonely, and I will eliminate all the sorrows of the ages with you."
After playing, the scholars led by Lu Zhi swept away the previous depressed feeling and became cheerful. To be successful in life, you must be happy to the fullest. Don't let the golden cup empty to the moon. When you are happy, you are happy. Why bother to cling to the past. Get up and salute.
Said: "Huai Ming's song has a lofty intention. It borrows from Hu Hong's ambition and writes about the broadmindedness of a scholar. I really admire it."
"This is not worthy of Duke Lu's courtesy." Zhu Kui quickly returned the gift.
"If you don't want to Huai Ming, you can not only kill the enemy immediately, but the horse also has such feelings." Cai Yong laughed.
Seeing Zhu Kui's modesty, Lu Zhi laughed and said apologetically: "Huai Ming is not humble. Ping Bocai, Ding Nanyang, after the two battles, no one in the court knew Huai Ming's reputation as brave and brave. Today we know that Huai Ming is Yun Wen Yun Wu."
, Uncle and I were rude just now."
The two of them had just seen that Zhu Kui was born in the military, and they didn't want to see him. It seemed that they were allowed to sit aside because of Hua Xin's sake.
"Kui is not very good at playing the piano, but he was made difficult by villains. He had no choice but to show his disgrace. I forgive you!"
"Huai Ming is a young man, as he should be!" Lu Zhi chuckled and then changed the topic: "Looking at "Jian Jin Jiu", it really expresses the heart of our scholars. Huai Ming has such literary talent, but I don't know the teacher.
Where did you come from? And why are you lingering in the army, but no one can praise you for your filial piety and integrity?"
