I have a herb garden

Chapter 384

After attending the court meeting, Zhe Yu returned to the palace, and went to the Jiaofang with the poems of Baicao and Hongqu.

Riding in the same car with Zhe Yu, Hong Qu was still a little embarrassed, hanging her head and rubbing her fingers.

Baicaoshi patted her hand and said with a smile: "It's just a teaching workshop, you don't have to be nervous."

Hongqu: "...Where is Jiaofang?"

This was naturally asked by Zheyu, and Baicaoshi didn't know about it.

Zhe Yu lifted the curtain of the car, glanced at it, "It's almost there, Jiaofang is next to the Royal Rare Garden."

Rare and Wonderful Garden, Baicaoshi knows that the last time Zhe Yu rode solo for thousands of miles, she didn't forget to help her gather some wool in the Rare and Wonderful Garden. "Why did you choose here?"

Zhe Yu smiled faintly, "Zhenqi Garden was originally called Pear Garden, and Gain planted some pear trees in his early years. Emperor Taizong said that Jiaofang should be a pear garden. It was only later that Emperor Gaozong changed the name of Pear Garden to Zhenqi Garden, but the location of Jiaofang has not changed. .”

Baicaoshi understood it, and it turned out that this is how the name of the pear garden came about. "Then, how does the inner work make this person?"

Zhe Yu replied: "The internal envoy can be regarded as a related family, he was originally a distant relative of Princess Li. The position of left and right is not very important in the eyes of His Majesty, anyone can do it, no, I have been doing it for seven or eight years."

Baicao Poetry does not agree with this point of view. Jiaofang represents the royal music institution, which is related to the aesthetics of the upper class and the cultural prosperity of an era.

Speaking of which, before Emperor Yanwu pretended to be sick, both King Qi and King Feng made a move, but King Li was quiet and became the biggest winner.Now it seems that the most powerful competition for the crown prince comes from Prince Li and the little prince.

Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy.

The king of rites is stable, and the nepotism is naturally stable.

Baicaoshi knows it well.

Soon the teaching workshop arrived.Because I had said hello in advance, under the gate tower, there was a staff waiting with me.The man looked to be in his mid-twenties and was wearing a blue official uniform. "My lord, I am Pan Liang, the magistrate of Jiaofang. The envoy told me to come and meet me. Please follow me."

"Okay, lead the way."

"My lord, come here for the first time. May I introduce you to you?" Pan Liang said proactively.

Baicao Poetry can't wait for it, just to understand the organizational framework of Jiaofang.

The teaching workshop has a series of connected buildings, each of which is practiced by people of different types of work.

"The dance workshop is to the west, and the music workshop is to the east. Usually, the practice is separated." Pan Liang led the way in front, while explaining, "When presenting dances or music to the royal family, they will practice together."

"This is the most common music room." Pan Liang stopped in front of a room where the women were playing musical instruments, playing and playing.Baicaoshi recognized the pipa, konghou and waist drum, but couldn't name the others.

Hongqu pointed to those instruments and identified them one by one.

"The one with six pipes and about two feet long is called Lusheng, which can play simple and melodious tunes. It was brought back when Taizu fought in Qianjun; the round instrument made of mother-of-pearl and red sandalwood is called Ruanxian, which is popular in Dayan. "Qing Shang Yue", Ruan Xian is one of the main musical instruments; the pipe with eight holes, called 筚篥, came from the Kingdom of Kucha during the Taizong period..."

After explaining it for a while, Pan Liang was shocked.I thought that the newly appointed Minister of Taichang Temple couldn't understand the rhythm, but I didn't expect that there was a little girl beside me who knew a lot.

"Unexpectedly, the girl is a master of dancing and music. Hey, I think the girl looks familiar..."

When the name of the red song resounded throughout Yanjing, some people in the teaching workshop also went to watch it, and shared it with everyone after returning.So it's not surprising that Judge Pan finds red yeast rice familiar.

Hong Qu turned her head away, and said in a joking tone: "Probably, I have an ordinary appearance, Judge, you have seen too much."

Pan Liang laughed dryly, "The girl is too self-effacing. If you are still ordinary, who else in the world would dare to call you a beautiful woman? Oh, this room is for the people in front."

The so-called "front man", also called insider, is an important part of Jiaofang, because they often have the opportunity to perform in front of the emperor, so they are called "front man".

However, Baicao Poetry frowned, and what the person in front sang was actually the melodious sound of vestibule flowers, without the atmosphere of a prosperous dynasty.

In the last room Pan Liang brought everyone to, there were some young faces in it, because the performers were very young, and some of them were children at all.

"They are actors, and they often have unique skills that others cannot match. They are good at singing, dancing, or acrobatics."

Zhe Yu watched coldly, and explained for half an hour, but none of the envoys appeared. "How are the preparations for the Queen Mother's birthday celebration? Your Majesty now orders me to take full responsibility. I will give you a moment of incense sticks. Please invite the envoys to show up, and the musicians and wife will perform live."

Pan Liang's complexion suddenly became very exciting.But he couldn't afford to offend both sides, so he bit the bullet and called people.

Zhe Yu waited in Langle Hall with Baicaoshi and Hongqu.

After a stick of incense, there are all descendants.The musicians and actors are fine, but they are just acting inside, with sleepy eyes, black and blue under the eyelids, and a hollowed-out appearance.

"As a messenger inside, I have met Lord Qing of Taichang Temple."

Zhe Yu squinted his eyes, and squinted at the speech tool, not angry but pretentious.Yan Qi's eyelids twitched.

Oriha didn't say a word of nonsense, "Let's play."

"What?" Yan Qi almost jumped, Taichang Siqing didn't play cards according to common sense, without a single word of greeting, it's about to start?

The first rank of the official rank crushes people to death, besides, the minister of Taichang Temple is still a senior official of the third rank.

The speech instruments gestured towards the musicians, and the musicians and musicians rose up, the hundred music played, and the dance flourished.

Yan Qi didn't take a look at the performance the whole time, he kept staring at Zhe Yu's expression, lest he might miss a signal.

Baicaoshi and Hongqu looked at each other, seeing the disappointment in Hongqu's eyes.

"The Empress Dowager's sixty-sixth birthday, all the officials are celebrating, and the six kingdoms are coming to the court. The envoys think that this dance and music performance may show my great national prestige and the prosperity of humanity?"

After a few words, Yan Qi fell to his knees with a puff, his forehead was covered with sweat. He thought of all kinds of theories about the identity of this Taichang Temple minister, and felt that just looking at it would kill him.

"Girl Hongqu, please come and comment." Zhe Yu said.

Hongqu straightened her temple hair, took a step forward, and said: "Actually, all the musicians, actors, and front-runners still have their technical skills. It's just the dance music just now. They only see vulgar music, but not elegant music. They are choosing repertoire and various music. The coordination between the parts requires new ingenuity."

"How about you take charge of it?" Zhe Yu asked directly.

Hongqu suddenly raised her eyes. Baicaoshi asked her for her opinion before, but she was politely rejected, and Zheyu directly gave the task.She felt the majesty of the superior and the inability to refuse. "Willing to listen to the adults."

Seeing this, the insider kept winking at the person behind him.He didn't dare to stand up and break the feathers, because he didn't know the rhythm and dance music, but there was someone behind him.

Sure enough, a person stood behind him with a Chinese face, giving the impression of being upright. "Your Excellency of Taichang Temple, I am a doctor of sound in Jiaofang. As the saying goes, there is a specialization in art. The dance and music in Jiaofang may still have a lot of shortcomings. We will definitely work hard to practice before the Queen Mother's birthday. But if we want a With outsiders who don't know how to do it pointing fingers, how will Jiaofang deal with itself in the future?"

　For the setting of Jiaofang mentioned above, refer to the setting of Jiaofang in Tang Dynasty.

　　Doctor of Sound is an ancient official position.
