Chapter 428: Twelve Tones

is a little shameless, Xia Hongsheng himself feels a fever on his face.

Such a famous article has been used so easily by himself in this situation, Bai Lotian won't cross over tonight and strangle me, right?

However, Xia Hongsheng still memorized it, deleted and changed it, memorized the poem, and told the story to Yuexian and Pei Shenfu.

“…… Hearing Jun's pipa language tonight, it is like listening to the fairy music ear for the time being. Mo Ci even sat down and played a song, and translated "Pipa Xing" for you. I feel that I have been saying this for a long time, but I am in a hurry. It was sad and not like a forward voice, and the whole audience wept when they heard it. Who cries the most in the seat? Luanzhou students are wet in green shirts. Xia Hongsheng finished chanting deeply, and then sighed faintly, raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes.

Yuexian looked at Xia Hongsheng with bright eyes, and Pei Shenfu too, his eyes were full of amazement, and he also stared at Xia Hongsheng without looking away, his face was calm, but he didn't know if it was for this matter, or for this poem, or for the pipa, it should be both.

After a long time, Pei Shenfu's thoughts came back and asked, "So, did Xiahou learn the method of playing from that woman?" ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, and said, "That's right." However, it is not the old woman that Mr. Pei said. ”

"Luanzhou?" Pei Shenfu groaned.

Xia Hongsheng scratched his head: "This ...... She shouldn't be from Luanzhou, I heard that she was a merchant's concubine, and she followed the merchant over, but the merchant took the lead when he was in a hurry, and then he also left, but now he doesn't know where he is. That night, everyone felt that pipa, and they were afraid of being presumptuous, so they did not inquire about it carefully. ”

"I've been searching for years. But there has been no gain. Now I can have some news. I'm already very excited. Pei Shenfu bowed down and saluted Xia Hongsheng: "Thank you Xiahou." There is also Fang Cai's "Pipa Xing", although he has heard Xiahou's name for a long time, he originally thought it was just a rumor, but now Fang Zhi is sitting in the well and watching the sky, and he is smiling and generous. ”

"Mr. Pei has an overreputation." Xia Hongsheng shook his head and said, "Master Pei, these instruments ......"

"As I said below, I will try my best to help Xia Hou make these instruments. Naturally, they will not break their promises. Pei Shenfu nodded and said.

Xia Hongsheng and Yue Immortal looked at each other and smiled, and began to introduce those musical instruments to Pei Shenfu in detail one by one.

In an afternoon, Xia Hongsheng finally told Pei Shenfu in detail about the characteristics and uniqueness of each instrument.

Coming out of the Yanyu Building, saying goodbye to Pei Shenfu, the two went back to the carriage and went home.

Xia Hongsheng stretched his waist and said with a smile: "It's much easier than I originally thought, and I didn't use a lot of preparations!" ”

"Wouldn't it be better to be able to get Pei Leshi to say yes so easily." The moon fairy is a little bit more than a sigh of relief. said: "The slave family thinks that the long poem of Gongzi Fangcai itself. It's already able to impress many people! ”

Send Yuexian to the door of the house, let Yuexian go home first, and Xia Hongsheng himself went to Taichang Temple again.

When I arrived at Taichang Temple, I went in as soon as I was announced, and I went directly to the back of the main hall to find my ancestor and grandson.

Before the person arrived, the laughter arrived first, Zu Xiaosun smiled and arched his hand from afar, and said to Xia Hongsheng: "Hahahaha, I was just going to visit Xiahou tomorrow, I didn't think that Xiahou would come first." ”

"I've been bothering Zu Shaoqing for this period of time, and I'm grateful!" Xia Hongsheng also returned the salute and said with a smile.

"Eh, Xiahou said this, but it was too polite. The musical instruments made by Xiahou are unheard of and unseen by the old man, and if he is a bystander, where will outsiders know, he will not have to hide it himself. Zu Xiaosun shook his head and said with a smile: "Xiahou is not stingy with the old man, and the old man should be grateful." Please! ”

Xia Hongsheng followed Zu Xiaosun to the back, arrived at Taile Fang, walked into the hall, and saw that Xia Hongsheng was going to make a few musical instruments there.

"These are all those that have been divided and set by the musicians of Taile Fang, and some have already been made, and the musicians of Taile Fang are deliberating on the doorway of it, and some of them have not yet been made." Zu Xiaosun pointed to the few musical instruments that could already be used, and said to Xia Hongsheng: "It's just that the old man, along with all the musicians in Taile Fang, has a doubt, and I ask Xia Hou to solve it." ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Zu Shaoqing, please speak!" ”

"These instruments made according to Xiahou's patterns, after the musicians of Taile Fang were made, after the tone was finalized, they found that each piece of music could play a few more notes. Later, the musicians of Taile Fang compared similar instruments and found that after these instruments were made, there were more parts. For example, the pipa, among these things made by Xiahou, only this kind of instrument is available today. However, it is still different. Today's pipa only has four phases and ten frets, but the musical instruments made according to Xiahou's pattern have more than six phases and more than twenty frets. After the musician tried it, he found that the pipa made according to Xiahou's pattern played with a richer sound. I don't know, why did Xiahou do this? ”

"Naturally, as Zu Shaoqing said, just to be able to play more sounds!" Xia Hongsheng smiled and said: "Today's five tones, Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu, and according to this, it is to divide these five tones into fine lines, divide semitones in the five tones, and expand the five tones into twelve tones. ”

"Twelve?!" Zu Xiaosun was taken aback: "This ...... The old man has a reluctant request, and asks Xiahou to cover up these twelve tones! ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, and picked up the guitar made on the ground, so among the few musical instruments that he drew and asked him to make, this was the only one that Xia Hongsheng really knew.

Holding the guitar in his arms, Xia Hongsheng pulsated a few times, tuned the strings again, and then plucked a sound.

"This is Gong Yin!" Zu Xiaosun nodded when he heard this.

Xia Hongsheng popped up another one, and Zu Xiaosun obviously heard the difference.

Xia Hongsheng played the twelve notes to Zu Xiaosun one by one, Zu Xiaosun listened to it several times, and then bowed to Xia Hongsheng and said: "Thank you Xiahou for teaching, these twelve tones seem to be better than the five tones." Please also ask Xiahou to see the thin noodles of the old man......"

Xia Hongsheng heard what Zu Xiaosun meant, so he waved his hand with a wry smile, and said: "Zu Shaoqing, you must also know Benhou's previous deeds, when you can see that Benhou is not the kind of person who hides privately, Benhou can take out the art of making salt and forging steel without asking for a penny, how can he hide it for these few notes?" It's not that Ben Hou is unwilling to teach Zu Shaoqing, it's that Ben Hou only knows such a little bit of skin. These instruments, along with these twelve notes, are all that Ben Hou knows. Zu Shaoqing is a person who is proficient in music, why not lead the musicians of Taile Fang to study these twelve tones thoroughly? If Zu Shaoqing is willing to study the law of this sound law, Ben Hou is willing to help with all his might! (To be continued.) )
