Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 52 Farewell
Only then did Yang Chao withdraw his attention: "Gift? Ah, yes!"

As he spoke, he took out his musical instrument, which was tightly wrapped in pure white silk.

After opening, it is divided into two pieces, one looks like a pipa, and the other is a bow, which immediately attracts the attention of others.

Let’s say it’s a pipa, why there are so many bows, and let’s say it’s an erhu, the appearance is too different.

Li Xiangjun said: "What are you?"

Yang Chao said: "Send a piece of music to Miss Liu."

After speaking, he pressed the instrument to his shoulder, tried the position, and after adjusting it, gently picked up the bow and pulled it.

The melodious tune sounded.

This is of course not a pipa, let alone an erhu. No wonder these famous prostitutes don’t know it. It’s a violin, which has already appeared in the West, but it’s far away from China, and it hasn’t been introduced to China yet.

The violin making technique is not difficult. After Yang Chao's request, the craftsmen of Suoxiandian made it without much difficulty.

The strings are made of silver wire, and the bow is made of ponytail, which are not cheap, and the workmanship is exquisite, so this piano cost Yang Chao ten taels of silver.

Yang Chao played the qin, and the music made these prostitutes who are proficient in rhythm listen to it quietly, and they were very touched.

And Yang Chao's posture is very different, but I always feel that there is a kind of elegance in it.

Chinese culture is actually elegant culture at its root, which has influenced Chinese people for thousands of years. These women are among the top group of people. Therefore, the understanding of elegance can be said to have reached the highest level of human beings in the world. Their feelings are very accurate. It is simply the standard of this era.

So the famous prostitutes who broke up with Yang Chao not long ago also felt that Yang Chao was actually not that miserable.

Maybe there is some misunderstanding in it.

Just finished playing, Gu Mei asked: "Is there any lyrics for this song?"

Yang Chao nodded. Someone really wrote in the lyrics for this song. He asked for pen and ink, and wrote it out.

Gu Mei was the first to read it, and saw that the lyrics were easy to understand and catchy, and she memorized them within a few times.

"Mr. Yang is pulling it again!"

Although it is an inquiry, it is actually a request.

Yang Chao complied and played the piano again.

At the same time, Gu Mei's beautiful voice sounded: "Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass stretches to the sky..."

In later generations, this is a song that is so simple that it can be classified as a nursery rhyme. Although the lyrics and music are simple, it has a long meaning. It is rated as the perfect combination of music and literature.

What is even more surprising is that the melody was composed by Americans, but the lyrics were written by Mr. Li Shutong during the Republic of China.

This song is an American song composed by American John Ordway, but it also has an oriental rhythm to the ears of Orientals, so it spread in the East, and the Japanese also wrote lyrics for the song.

Mr. Li Shutong discovered this song in Japan, and then wrote the lyrics himself, creating this song "Farewell".

"The sound of the willow flute is blown by the evening wind, and the mountains beyond the sunset... A pot of turbid wine is full of joy, so don't dream cold tonight."

After Gu Mei finished singing, she asked, "What's the name of this song, Mr. Yang?"

Yang Chao replied: "The lyrics and music are all called farewell."

Bian Sai once knew from Li Xiangjun poems such as "Be worthy of the Tathagata and live up to Qing", but Yang Chao denied that he could compose lyrics. Hearing Yang Chao's lyrics and music again this time, he couldn't help feeling suspicious in his heart. Looking at the lyrics and music of this song, Although it is simple, it is not bad, and everyone sitting here has never heard of it. If it is not Yang Chao's work, it is a lie.

"Farewell, farewell! It's not good at all, it's so sad! I know you have no good intentions."

Li Xiangjun's complaint interrupted Bian Sai's meditation.

Looking up, I saw Li Xiangjun's tears rolling in his eyes, and was moved with sadness.

Sha Cai sighed at this time: "This ditty will remind me of the farewell at Changting Pavilion in Romance of the West Chamber."

Everyone is also touched.

"The blue sky, the yellow flowers, the westerly wind is tight. The geese fly from the north to the south. Who will be stained with frost and drunk in the forest at dawn? Always leave people in tears."

Only then did Sha read it out, causing more people to cry.

Yang Chao wondered aside, isn't it just a song, it deserves to be so sentimental.

"Sisters, why are you crying? It's not like I'm not coming back. Look at you, I'm ashamed, Mr. Yang is still here."

Liu Rushi pretended to smile, and came to Yang Chao's side at the same time, and bowed lightly: "Thank you Mr. Yang. The lyrics and music of this song are very good."

Yang Chao smiled and said, "Just as long as Miss Liu likes it."

At the same time, Yang Chao handed over the Qin: "By the way, there is still this Qin for you."

"Oh?"

Liu Rushi took it and took a closer look, but he really hadn't seen it before.

"This is a violin, a Western musical instrument, specially made by someone. The girl may not have seen it before. It's just for fun."

Yang Chao didn't intend to promote western musical instruments, it was just a novel gift for Liu Rushi.

The violin is also no better than the Chinese instrument.

Before the appearance of the piano, it can be said that Chinese and Western music have their own advantages and disadvantages. Chinese musical instruments are also the best because of their long history and more famous songs handed down.

It's a pity that Yang Chao couldn't make the piano. It's not that he doesn't know the structure, but because the craftsmanship is simply not up to the mark. The parts needed to make a piano are much more complicated and more refined than a carriage. Yang Chao I know that with my own level, there is no way to make it.

In fact, there are not many people in the world who can make high-end pianos by hand in later generations.

Liu Rushi put away the piano, and didn't try to pull it. She would not take out things she didn't understand. These women are used to showing off their perfection.

Liu Rushi suddenly asked again: "Young Master Yang, the writing is like his own person, his writing is like his own person's, and his music is like his own person's. Is this correct?"

He just played a piece of music, the piece is just like the person, Yang Chao didn't know if he was talking about himself.

He said straightly: "The human heart is the most complicated. It is unpredictable to measure the sky and the earth, and even a fortune-teller is not a human heart. It is right or wrong. Can you tell who the Bian sisters are from behind. Qin Shihuang was scolded He was a tyrant, but the Great Wall he built protected the Central Plains for more than 1000 years. Emperor Sui Yang was also said to be a fool. If there was no Grand Canal to transport grain, I don’t know how many people in the north would starve to death. Looking at people is the same as looking at things, but from a different angle. It’s different. It’s biased to look at a person only from the words, the text, and the music.”

Yang Chao thought that Liu Ru guessed his character from his own songs. How could a complicated person be seen through at a glance, let alone others, and it might be difficult for him to see himself clearly.

Liu Rushi said: "Then how to see a person clearly?"

Yang Chao said with a smile: "It takes time to see people's hearts."

"It takes a long time to see people's hearts!"

Liu Rushi nodded, she was actually thinking about Qian Qianyi, she suddenly realized that she didn't know that old bureaucrat at all.

"Okay, you don't have any good intentions. The gift is also given, don't say goodbye, hurry up, hurry up."

Li Xiangjun yelled, this is her place, and now she is starting to drive people away.

The girls and servants laughed and saw off the guests one by one, and they all knew that Li Xiangjun had a bad temper, probably because of the influence of Yang's mother Li Zhenli, Li Xiangjun's temper was sometimes extremely hot.

Yang Chao walked out of the Meixiang Building and bid farewell to the famous prostitutes who filed out one by one. At this time, he faintly heard a voice in the building.

"Let's go, let's go, let me die of old age alone!"
