Rui Wangfu, the princess and Jiang Yuyan chattered. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The old concubine has a unique son who inherits the throne of King Rui. In addition, there are two daughters who are each named county lords, Jiang Yuyan is the daughter of the big county lord, and she is the same generation as King Rui. The concubine's youngest daughter was devoted to celibate cultivation and did not walk in the outside world.
Now that Jiang Yuyan is back, the old lady loves her granddaughter, and all kinds of rewards are constantly being sent. The princess saw that this cousin was favored, and she was happy to have a good relationship with her.
On this day, the two were laughing at home, when they suddenly heard that Xun Yi came to visit.
"You say, you want to get my family's big music chime?"
"Exactly. After Xun Yi sat down, he wiped honey on his mouth: "The two sisters are getting more and more beautiful, they didn't dare to recognize them when they just came in, we stood together, and those who didn't know thought they were brothers and sisters." ”
How old are Xun Yi and the others? The princess's son, Li Xinghong, is only one year younger than Xun Yi. Although Jiang Yuyan has no children, she is similar in age to Xun Jing.
The second daughter covered her mouth and smiled: "The mouth is so sweet, let's say, what's the matter?"
"Your Majesty ordered my brother to prepare the Great Hui Shangle on the day of the Great Festival, but you also know this kind of music, and you must use the kind of three-tiered fifty-tone big frame. There are only two walls in the Music Department, I remember seeing them in the palace when I was a child, can you let me use them temporarily?"
"It's just a performance, why be so rigid and dogmatic?" Jiang Yuyan smiled and said, "My sister will teach you a way." You use the five-tone civet, the seven-law egret, the thirteen-handled jade amber, the eighteen pieces of all-block music, and the twenty-five beads and half frost days, can't you just get together?" Jiang Yuyan said is the common name of various chimes. Small chimes come in groups of 35, and medium-sized chimes come in groups of 13 or 18. The 25-handle chimes can already be placed on double or triple shelves.
"Face. Of course, Xun Yi knew that the bell could be replaced, so it was a big deal to remove the bell on the shelf and reorganize it. But it doesn't look good at the time of the festival. What's going on with a group of people using a small clock to calculate the trivialities?
The bell is a symbol of ritual music. The more chimes you have on a shelf, the more you can stand out.
"One of the most famous things about "Dahui Shangle" is that it is played with a chime of fifty rhythms. "Because the chime shelf is as high as a wall, it is often called a block. "This kind of great sacrifice, of course, needs this kind of tall fifty laws and big blocking bells. ”
Originally, Xun Yi and four people used a three-layer chime with fifty handles to be enough, and they would be able to play. It's just that the four of them don't have a tacit understanding, they hinder each other when playing, stand by the bell and get in the way, and affect the percussion music of others. And with two chimes, it looks a little empty.
So Xun Yi discussed with Master Liu, and simply dismantled "Dahui Shangle", let the others learn separately, and then find a few people to play together. The whole piece is very long, and it is difficult to memorize and play, but it may be more convenient if the rhythm of the chapters in it is separated. Moreover, it is easier to mask the noise in the ensemble, and it is not easy to make mistakes. To put it bluntly, it is to use the large number of people to fill the number.
And in this way, two chimes are obviously not enough. But the creation of chimes has always been the most troublesome of all kinds of musical instruments.
Qin Se Guzheng, looking for skilled craftsmen to work overtime to make it very well. Although it is difficult to beat the drum and flower drum, it must be enough to stay up all day. But what about chimes? Chimes are golden, and they are the most expensive instruments in terms of materials.
There was not enough time to cast a new chime, so Xun Yi could only borrow it outside in the name of the imperial court.
The small bell of the three-five-seven mouth has a claw pattern, and the scholar can have it. However, the thirteen-handled chimes are carved with jade amber, which cannot be owned by non-nobles. Invisibly restricts the spread of Zhong Lu's music. Folk music workshops can teach the qin and flute, but how many can teach chimes?
The large chimes with 50 handles symbolize royal power, and can only be possessed by princes and princes of the highest quality except for the imperial palace.
"It's not enough to take two chimes? Jiang Yuyan looked at the princess: "Our chime has not been used for many years, can it still be used now?"
"I don't know, I'm going to check in the warehouse. The princess looked at Xun Yi: "How many of you play together, how many bells do you need?"
"Sixteen ensembles, but we need five bells. "Xun Yi wants to use a chime alone to play as the main theme.
"Five walls?" The second daughter was startled, and the princess said: "Yan'er is right, you use two bells to make a high platform, and then other musicians strike the small bell, and others can't say anything." ”
"Not good, not good. "Xun Yi's obsessive-compulsive disorder, how can he allow himself to cut corners when playing this kind of music? Moreover, the grander the ceremony, the easier it is to invite the gods to descend.
"Then where are you going to borrow it besides our house?" The princess was worried about Xun Yi: "This kind of big bell is a ritual instrument in every family, and we rarely use it in our own house." It has been in disrepair for a long time, and I am afraid that the sound quality is not good. ”
"So my younger brother went to the palaces of various families, and Lord Wei has already negotiated it. "Lord Wei is currently opening the door of convenience to do good deeds, and this kind of thing that can sell the court a face will definitely not be refused. "His family chimes are used together, and the old prince also said that he would play in person. ”
"It's also true, the old prince liked Zhong Lu's voice the most when he was young. His chimes must be well maintained. The princess smiled when she thought of this imperial uncle: "So, what about the other wall?"
"In the past, the big bell that Gaozu gave to my family Tianzu was shelved in the ancestral temple. I have ordered someone to go home and get it, and report it to the palace. In extraordinary times, it can be used temporarily. "The Xun family's current title is not enough, and they can't use the Fifty Law Bell, and they have been sealed in the ancestral temple early. But now, in order to play this kind of music, I can only take it out and use it at once.
"The prince has just become a prince, and our family's chimes can indeed be used. The princess ordered someone to lift the chime out, and Xun Yi nodded after checking it: "It's okay, the sound quality is good." ”
So, the princess ordered someone to pack Xun Yi and send it back.
Xun Yi wanted to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Jiang Yuyan: "Slow, I've heard people at home these days that you have a marriage contract with Miss Yingfu?"
"Not bad. Xun Yi sat down again: "Yingxiu and I have known each other for many years, and we are happy with each other. Since my sister knows Qi Zheng'an, it is best to persuade him and let him rest his mind early. Xun Yi is very dissatisfied, the circle of this world is too small, can he and Qi Zhengan still get close to each other after going around for a long time?
Jiang Yuyan didn't know why the Qi family wanted to marry Yingxiu, but vaguely heard that Yingxiu seemed to be able to prosper her husband's family. The body of the female ascendant is a secret of the Shennong family, and Jiang Yuyan does not know.
With her brother-in-law on one side and her cousin on the other, Jiang Yuyan couldn't make a choice in her heart. So these **** are temporarily hiding in the Ruiwang Mansion.
"Brother, can you please ask Miss Yingjia to come out and see her, so that my sister can take a look at Miss Yingjia." "The attitude of the three parties, Jiang Yuyan needs to ask Yingxiu what she thinks in person.
"Yes, tomorrow I will ask her to come to Rui Wangfu to meet my sister. When the time comes, I will marry her, and I need my sister's help to make a set of Quanfu Daxi Mandarin Duck Sets. ”
Seeing that Xun Yi was sure that he would inevitably marry Yingxiu, Jiang Yuyan smiled bitterly. The Qi family's power is not small, and it has a lot to do with Shinto, if it is really true, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to Xun Yi.
The chimes were packed and sent to Taimiao, and the princess found Li Xinghong again: "Hong'er, you send your uncle back home." Don't walk around on the road, in case you are bitten by a cat or dog, I only ask. The princess meant something, Xun Yi pondered for a while, and asked Li Xinghong to send him away.
Along the way, Li Xinghong deliberately changed his route, and Xun Yi saw Li Xinghong's route and gradually understood. Is this afraid that you will bump into someone?
"Who is your mother's defense? Could it be that the Zheng family wants to trouble me?"
Li Xinghong took a clairvoyant eye and said casually: "It's okay, I'm looking at the scenery." ”
As he was talking, a silk scarf floated down from the air and landed directly at Xun Yi's feet. In the distance, a woman hurried in...... (To be continued.) )
