The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 37
Passing through the walled courtyard, the artificial lake in Xiayuan suddenly appeared in front of you. It was quiet and peaceful, the lake was breezy and green, and there was a pavilion not far away that protruded into the center of the lake.

The two walked into the pavilion slowly, Xiao Qinzhi casually leaned against the wooden railing, sitting in the sun, Chen Yunzhi held the tail of a white jade stag in his hands, looked into the distance, and suddenly saw a water bird with a small fish in its mouth, coming out of the lake. Soar.

In the silence, Chen Yunzhi suddenly buried his head, turned around, saluted sincerely, and said, "Brother Qin, I apologize to you on behalf of my younger brother."

After all, she was proud, so she chose a place with few people and let go of her pride.

"I accept it!" Xiao Qinzhi responded without harsh criticism or complaints, "Tell me, why did Brother Ling come to me alone?"

The smile on the corner of Chen Yunzhi's mouth was a little bit, and he said in detail: "This is how it happened."

Xiao Qinzhi suddenly realized: "It turns out that at Hanting Ferry, the flute player that night was you!" After speaking, he couldn't stop laughing, and said helplessly, "Brother Ling is really a vengeful person."

Chen Yunzhi apologized: "My brother is fighting for me, I don't want to implicate brother Qin."

"Forget it, forget it, it's all over, let's not talk about it." Xiao Qinzhi shook his head, leaned on the wooden railing, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but feel that luck was tricking people, so he couldn't help but said: "Speaking of it, I would like to ask Brother Yun, you can play "Three Lanes of Plum Blossoms" as soon as you play, why do you put my "Little Star" first?"

""Little Star"?" Chen Yunzhi was puzzled.

It wasn't until Xiao Qinzhi hummed the melody of "Little Star" that Chen Yunzhi realized that it was the song, and said with a smile: "During the day, when I was sailing on a boat, I suddenly heard someone playing a flute, intermittently, it seemed that the breath was wrong. Playing is strenuous. In the evening, when I got excited, I wanted to demonstrate it again, but I didn’t expect that the class would be messed up.”

"Oh——" Xiao Qinzhi completely understood that he had misunderstood others first, so he explained the reason to Chen Yunzhi, and suddenly, both of them laughed.

One misunderstanding after another, God's will tricks people.

Chen Yunzhi has always been obsessed with that half of "Mythology", revealing in his words that he wants to listen to a complete "Mythology", but Xiao Qinzhi is really helpless, and said frankly:
"Brother Yun, even if I think about it, it's impossible. Because I can only play half of the flute now. I haven't been in contact with the flute for a long time, and I don't have enough breath. Even if I finish playing a song, it will be the end of my strength. On the contrary, it will ruin your ears. .”

Chen Yunzhi asked again: "Is there a music score?"

In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the method of recording music scores was "character notation", which described in detail the performance methods of pitch, rhythm, fingering movements, string order and emblem position in words. I really don't understand.

Treasures are available at your fingertips, but it is impossible. Chen Yunzhi felt a little regretful, and said regretfully, "Why do you listen to half a song?"

It means that I would have known better not to listen to this half of the song, but now I have listened to half of the song, but there is no second half, it is really sad.

"After a few days, I'll practice my breath and play the whole song for you. It's not a big deal." Xiao Qinzhi really didn't like a big man, lamented, frowned and worried, acting like a little girl all day long .

Chen Yunzhi said worryingly: "Even if brother Qin can play the whole song, it may take a long time."

"Where does it take so long, at most a month or so." Xiao Qinzhi believed that he already had a foundation, but now he just picked it up again. Besides, "Mythology" can only be regarded as an introductory song for flute, so it is not difficult.

Chen Yunzhi pursed his lips and kept smiling, "It's not that easy. You need to train your breath, and then stabilize your breath until you become proficient in the technique. One month is definitely not enough."

Xiao Qinzhi raised his head and said: "Why isn't it enough? I never know how to play it. It only took a few days to play a half piece, but it only took a few days to play the whole piece. What's more, one month is definitely enough."

Chen Yunzhi was surprised and said, "Brother Qin, did you just learn?"

Xiao Qinzhi nodded and said: "Yes, my sister left a purple bamboo flute at home, I took it with me before I came, and prepared to pass the time on the road."

"Then what is the song "Myth"?"

"That night at Hanting Ferry, after listening to your song "Three Lanes of Plum Blossoms", I looked up and saw the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in the sky, looking forward to each other across the Milky Way. I felt something in my heart, so I played a few times at random."

Chen Yunzhi was astonished, his expression froze, the shaking stag in his hand stopped, then he turned around, with a smile on his face, and said:

"Brother Qin, don't lie to me that I am ignorant. Sister Ling is both talented and beautiful. She is proficient in melody and is famous in Jinling. You must have learned melody since childhood."

Xiao Qinzhi looked impartially, and said with a wry smile: "How do you tell the truth, you still don't believe it? I really just got the purple bamboo flute a few days ago. If you don't believe me, just ask my two clan brothers, they all know about it."

Chen Yunzhi saw that Xiao Qinzhi didn't seem to be lying, but he still felt that it was too mysterious, so he couldn't help asking: "Really?"

"True than gold."

"Why is that? After all, Sister Ling—" Chen Yunzhi couldn't figure it out. Precepts and deeds taught by words and deeds work well. The family has inherited this. Xiao Qinzhi should have learned the rhythm since childhood.

Suddenly, Chen Yunzhi remembered something, which made sense, and said: "It must be that brother Qin is not interested in rhythm, so he devoted himself to Go."

"No, I just learned Go at the beginning of the month." Xiao Qinzhi said lightly.

Chen Yunzhi was stunned, angry and turbulent in his heart, he couldn't calm down for a long time, and couldn't help but think: "How could you be a talented person? You clearly—clearly—"

"Really, what are you doing to lie to you? My brothers all know what I was like before. Recently, I had to learn it." Xiao Qinzhi said nonchalantly, looking at the emerald green lotus protruding from the lake, as if nodding in agreement. I thought to myself: "For Xiao Qinzhi in this era, everything is learned by talent. If you tell it frankly, it will be broken at once. After all, Xiao Qinzhi before was a complete bastard. "

Chen Yunzhi didn't feel that what Xiao Qinzhi said was a lie, because he knew it immediately after asking, but he still couldn't believe it in his heart, it was too shocking, wasn't it?Whoever it is, I'm afraid it's unbelievable.

Therefore, Chen Yunzhi became more curious about Xiao Qinzhi than ever, and asked:
"Brother Naqin, what was it like before?"

Logically speaking, these are private matters and should not be disclosed to outsiders, but Xiao Qinzhi thought about it, and he didn't think there was anything, and there was no need to hide it.It just so happened that the misunderstanding was cleared up, and he suddenly became enlightened. He also had a little liking for Chen Yunzhi, a well-spoken person, and talked about some interesting things that happened in Xiao's Manor.

Xiao Qinzhi said with great interest: "In the past, my biggest enemy was 'reading'. Books recognized me, but I didn't. Whenever I read, I wanted to sleep. Sometimes I couldn't sleep, so I picked up a book and read it. I fell asleep while reading it."

"Ah?" Chen Yunzhi exclaimed, his lips and teeth parted slightly, his eyes sparkling brilliantly.

Xiao Qinzhi said calmly: "There are more interesting things than reading, why do you have to read?"

Reading can understand things, know gains and losses, understand the past and present, and be open-minded. Chen Yunzhi has been studying since he was a child, and he has received family education. He can't help but ask: "What things are more interesting than reading?"

In Xiao Qinzhi's view, Chen Yunzhi is exactly the same as those good students who lost their childhood and were trapped in a lot of cram schools since childhood.It was the same in Xiao Qin's previous life before he was 8 years old. Therefore, he yearned for a carefree childhood even more.

In the memory of this body, Xiao Qinzhi recalled it from time to time, and realized the real childhood, that time was free and carefree, and asked:
"Brother Yun, do you know what the summer wind smells like?"

"Do you know how to find beehives in the mountains and plains?"

"Do you know how to catch fish with bare hands?"

"Do you know what are the gifts of nature in spring?"

"Do you know how to catch sparrows in winter?"

"Snowball fights, have you ever played?"

"Ice skating on the river, have you tried?"

"In calf-deep snow, catch rabbits, pheasants."

Chen Yunzhi grew up surrounded by high walls, so naturally he didn't know anything about these things, but it sounds interesting, especially when he thinks of playing with a group of children, laughing and having fun, the picture is beautiful.

Chen Yunzhi sat down not far from Xiao Qinzhi, with a straight posture, and said with interest: "Brother Qin, tell me about it."
