Chapter 62: Dedication Only
A bright moon hangs high, dotted with stars, and sparsely laid on the sky. The sky is high and the stars are far away, and the moon is like practice, which attracts people's grace.
Du Zhongxiao leaned on the chair, closed his eyes slightly, and listened to the imitation of the Zhengzheng piano flowing slowly like a mountain stream, as if he had entered another world. When I listened to music in my previous life, I always couldn't avoid deafening accompaniment tracks, vague lyrics, and I didn't know what I listened to after listening to it. The music of this world is another style, which pays attention to the only sound between heaven and earth, a song, and the rhythm of heaven and earth, and listens to the sound of heaven and earth.
It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, good or bad, it just corresponds to different people, to different worlds, and to different moods and perceptions of people listening to music. The music of this world is born because of heaven and earth and man, and does not seduce people into an impetuous world of nothingness.
At the end of the song, Du Zhongxiao opened his eyes and said happily: "Xiaoqing's piano sound has been refined to another level, which is gratifying." It can be heard from the sound of the piano, the rhythm is more noisy in the world, and less ethereal. This is not good, but it is a good thing that the young man is young. Only by being able to detach from the noise of the world can we comprehend the artistic conception of transcending the world. β
Xiaoqing put down the piano, her eyes were red and said: "The instructor jokes, I'm just a mortal woman, how can I play the sound of the world?" The officials are bent on listening to the sounds outside the sky, so they should naturally look for them from the fairies who don't eat the fireworks of the world. I'm a girl who grew up in the dust, and I can play a tune that conforms to the rhythm, and it doesn't sound so bad, it's already a rare blessing to cultivate, how can I play the tune that the officials want to hearββ"
Du Zhongxiao smiled: "This is wrong! We are mortal people, and only after the red dust can we understand the otherworldly artistic conception in the song. It is said that this song should only be in the sky, how many times can I hear it in the world. But if there are no people in the red dust to play the piano, no matter how good the music is, it will be difficult to play the sound of heaven and man. Xiaoqing, God gives you this talent, you should cherish it. For you, it's useless to learn the skills of ordinary people. When we feel the rhythm of heaven and earth with our hearts and listen to the voices of the world, we can play the song of heaven and earth harmony. β
Xiaoqing looked at Qu Wuniang who was sitting next to her, her expression was a little gloomy, and she whispered: "When I play the piano in Yangzhou, there is always Jingjing singing next to me, and I can cheer every time." Without Jingjing, no matter how well I play, no one sings, and I always feel that something is missing. In the past, when Master taught him to play music, he always said that music is the law of heaven and earth, and song is the voice of people. β
Qu Wuniang forced a smile on her face, and said in a low voice: "This child has grown up with Jingjing since he was a child, and when the two of them met during the day, it was inevitable that he would think about all kinds of things when he was a child and say some nonsense. The official doesn't have to go to her heart, she will be fine in a few days. β
Du Zhongxiao said: "Children will think of what to say, every sentence is the words in her heart." Xiaoqing misses Jingjing so much, and she thinks she is a very talented duet. Now that she and Lussey are here, I'll take care of them. Yongcheng is a small place, and it is only by singing songs, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to make much money. These days, I want to go to the docks outside the city, build some shops, attract merchants, and help them once. Let me think about it, what kind of business is suitable for them, and when the time comes, you will help together, and you will have no worries about food and clothing! β
Qu Wuniang peeked at Han Yueniang's face and saw that there was no change in expression on her face, and she hurriedly saluted and thanked her. Xiaoqing is a child, and when she saw Qu Wuniang's appearance, she hurriedly followed and saluted.
Du Zhongxiao said: "People often say, live in the world, see which bowl of rice God rewards you to eat." Xiaoqing, you are a rare character in the world who plays the piano, and you must work it. Don't listen to what others say, as long as you play well, who dares to underestimate you. β
Xiaoqing bowed and thanked him happily. In fact, she is young, how do you know what Du Zhongxiao means by these words. People live in the world, how they should live, what they should pursue, Xiaoqing doesn't know anything. Everything about her is taught by Qu Wuniang, and all kinds of life are to see how Qu Wuniang likes others and how to ask for more money. Only in the past few months has I lived here in Du Zhongxiao that I have come into contact with some different things and learned some different knowledge. will think about what kind of life should I live into.
Han Yueniang was a little tired, and said to Qu Wuniang: "Wuniang, you take Xiaoqing back to rest." If you see Lussesay in the past two days, tell her that the officials will find her a stable livelihood here, so that she can slowly regain her heart. β
Seeing that Han Yueniang said a few words at the end, her face was very unsightly, Qu Wuniang's heart sank, and she hurriedly thanked her and retired.
Watching Qu Wuniang and Xiaoqing leave, Han Yueniang said to Du Zhongxiao: "Da Lang, do you really want to settle down for that Lusesai?" β
Du Zhongxiao said: "What are these words? It was her business for me to find a place for her to settle down and settle down. You can see that she is a restless person, how can I not see it? To tell you the truth, these days, I want to make some food stalls on both sides of the road from the city gate to the pier, and make sure to be extra new and attract people. That Lucesai is a well-informed person, guarding a stall, and he will not worry about it all his life. If not, I can't do anything. Others want to help her, but they just want to think about doing something extraordinarily unexpected. β
Han Yueniang's face softened, and she said, "Da Lang thinks so, and I am relieved." β
Hearing this, Du Zhongxiao couldn't help laughing and said, "I don't think so, what else can I think?" What is there to worry about Madame? β
Han Yueniang laughed when she heard this, and she was a little embarrassed. From acquaintance to marriage, the two have never met this kind of person, this kind of thing, as soon as Han Yueniang was asked, she also felt that she was thinking too much.
Du Zhongxiao thought about it for a while, and felt more and more that his idea of making a snack street was feasible. Rectify this section of the road from the city gate, so that the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods have no way to interfere, and then pick some honest businessmen, and let them take root there, which is much better than the current situation. As for the largest number of inns and freight yards, they can be guided to other places, and they can be gathered and managed.
On the afternoon of this day, Du Zhongxiao invited Cheng County Lieutenant, Dong Zhushu and Jiang Jian as the real officials in Yongcheng to the back office, and set up a row or two of snack stalls in the garden. According to the memory of the previous life, there are no dishes that need to be cooked and crafted, as long as those simple and attractive dishes, such as sauerkraut fish, Mao Xuewang, hand-handled meat, dried tofu, pig's head meat, all kinds of water, all kinds of dishes, a whole two large rows. The two most critical ones are heavy oil and heavy salt, which are spicy and spicy, and the most important thing is cheap.
At the end of the two rows of dishes, a table was placed, and two bottles of the strongest wine were placed, and several large plates.
When several people arrived, Du Zhongxiao said: "I have been here as an official for many days, and I haven't invited you to have a meal or drink two glasses of spirits, and I really don't want to go." There is nothing to do today, please come, drink and eat. There is no need to serve food today, there is a plate there, go and serve a large plate yourself, whatever is in the garden today, put it on the plate, bring it and we will drink, and we will not return if we are not drunk. β
After speaking, he took a large plate first, followed the food stalls set up on both sides, picked up large pieces of meat, put fresh vegetables on a plate, and filled a large bowl of sour fish soup, returned to his seat, and quietly watched everyone.
Everyone stayed for a while, and Yao Anle, the new inspector of the village, saw that everyone didn't move, and laughed: "The county magistrate invites everyone to have a good meal, twisting and pinching like a bride out of the cabinet?" Didn't delay the county's kindness! β
After speaking, he took a large plate, picked out the hand-handled meat with bones, loaded a large plate, and sat down opposite Du Zhongxiao.
