Datang all-rounder

Chapter 41

Seeing Comrade Li Er led Lan Ling into the palace gate, Wang Ke turned his head, looked at Nan Ping and said softly, "Princess, shall I send you back now?"

Nanping blushed, and said in a low voice: "My lord, please send Nanping to Neifu Yuezaosi first, Nanping will go there to pick up things."

Wang Ke said quickly: "Princess, please don't call me your lord, I am an official here too."

Nanping thought for a while and asked, "If you don't call me your lord, what would you call me?"

Wang Ke thought, what is the name of Ai?Now that I have a military position, I can't be called Wang Gongzi, but it's too awkward for an adult to listen to me, so I said: "Why don't you call me Wang Ke."

Nan Ping covered his mouth with a smile, and said softly, "There's no reason to call people by their names, why don't I call you by your name. It's just that I don't know what your name is."

As soon as he said this, Wang Ke was also stunned. You said that this modern person takes a name, and there is no word.In the Tang Dynasty, Wang Si and Mrs. Wang also called themselves Ke'er, and they didn't have their own words. Now they are asked to say their own words, but they really can't say it.

Wang Ke scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I really can't say this word. I left Datang when I was eight years old, and my father didn't have time to get one for me. Come back now, and I haven't thought about it. Princess It’s really difficult for me to ask today.”

Nanping covered his mouth and smiled again and said, "Then you can't pick one up yourself, you're the only one who learns so well, and it's not easy to pick up a word."

When Wang Ke heard it, his face was covered with black lines, and he was dying of sweat!How could he have any talent to learn? Which of those poems was not plagiarized by him. It would be easier for him to die than to ask him to write a poem himself.But when it comes to this, I have to bite the bullet.

Wang Ke was thinking about it, and finally came up with a bad word.

He embarrassedly said to Nanping: "I like winter very much. I like the endless snow in winter. It is so peaceful and remote; it makes people's mind calm and purified. I admire winter, why not call me Mu Dong. What does the princess think?"

"Mu Dong, Mu Dong." Nan Ping muttered these two words, thought for a while and said: "I heard you say the origin of these two words, but there is also some artistic conception, just this word, I will call you Mu from now on. It's winter."

Seeing that this question was also prevaricated by herself, Wang Ke hurriedly said, "Princess, I don't know where Le Zaosi is. I have to ask the princess to show me the way."

Nanping nodded, stretched out his slender fingers, and guided Wang Ke to Lezaosi.

Wang Ke walked in with Nanping, and the people inside all knelt down to salute when they saw that it was the princess coming.

The majesty of a princess in Nanping has lost the appearance of a little girl when she was joking with Wang Ke just now, she lightly opened her lips and said, "Let's be flat, where is the qin I made? Bring it to me and have a look."

Those people thanked En and hurried to the back room to carry Qin out.

Nan Ping plucked the strings with his hands, and said to Wang Ke: "Mu Dong, come and help me see if the piano is in tune."

Wang Ke choked, Wang Ke really didn't know anything about this thing.Said resentfully: "Princess, I really don't understand this thing. I'm in the extreme west, and I've never learned the melody of the Tang Dynasty. I know all the seven senses and six senses of this thing."

Seeing what Wang Ke said, Nanping believed it a little bit, and asked curiously: "Then what musical instrument do you know?"

Now Wang Ke really wished there was a crack in the ground for him to get into.There are so many musical instruments in China, but I don't know any of them, and I have never learned any of them.If there is anything to say, I just learned to play the guitar when I was in the army.

Nan Ping asked himself this, without thinking too much, and blurted out: "I don't know any of these instruments. I only know one thing. It's an instrument from the Far West Country, called a guitar."

"Guitar?" Nanping became more curious, and asked again and again: "What does it look like, can you draw it? Can you let the people here make it for me?"

Wang Ke knew that with the current level of craftsmanship in the Tang Dynasty, it should be okay to make a guitar cabinet or something, but the six strings would not work.

But when he saw Nanping's hopeful face, he couldn't bear to refuse in his heart, and said hesitantly: "This may be very difficult, mainly because there is no way for the six strings."

Having said that, Wang Ke's mind flashed, and he remembered that nylon strings can also be used for guitar accompaniment, instead of steel strings.There are no nylon strings in this era, but can you find something else instead?

"Wait! Let me think about it." Wang Ke said quickly.

As he spoke, he looked down in the production room.After walking around for a long time, Wang Ke didn't find a suitable substitute in his mind. Looking behind Nanping, the person who looked like the head of Lezao Division asked, "May I ask this father-in-law's name?"

This person saw Wang Ke and Nan Ping coming in together, Nan Ping's tone was very familiar with Wang Ke, although he didn't know who Wang Ke was, but he also knew that he couldn't provoke him.Seeing Wang Ke asking himself now, he hurriedly replied respectfully: "The villain's surname is Qin, what orders does your lord have?"

Wang Ke hurriedly said: "Eunuch Qin, please take me to the place where you put the strings, and see if I can find the strings I want in my heart!"

Eunuch Qin looked at Nanping, and Nanping knew that he was looking at his own attitude, so he said proudly: "You can do what he says, and the things you make will be recorded in my house."

Eunuch Qin hurriedly led Wang Ke to a room next to him.Nanping also followed curiously.

Eunuch Qin unlocked the door and turned to let Nan Ping and Wang Ke go in first.Wang Ke saw that the room was full of strings of all kinds.Going forward, picking things out one by one slowly, in a corner, Wang Ke found a mess twisted together, but he had never seen it before, it looked like plastic or nylon products, tendons of different thicknesses .

Wang Ke asked curiously: "What is this and where did it come from?"

Eunuch Qin stepped forward, took a closer look, and then replied: "This thing is a kind of animal presented by envoys from the Western Regions. They said it was called a rhinoceros. It died not long after it came to Tang Dynasty. The tendons stripped from the rhino were brought to us to make strings. But we didn’t know what instrument to use, so we kept throwing them here.”

Seeing Wang Ke's expression, Nan Ping understood what Wang Ke meant, and hurriedly asked, "Are you going to use this to make strings?"

Wang Ke nodded and replied: "Try it. I don't know if it will work."

Carrying this roll of rhinoceros tendon out of the room, Wang Ke asked for a pen and paper to draw the appearance of the guitar, and also drew an exploded view of each component, and marked the size one by one.After handing it over to Eunuch Qin, he was going to send Nanping back.

Nanping looked at the sky and asked Eunuch Qin, "How long will it take to make these things?"

Eunuch Qin looked at the drawings, thought for a while and replied: "All the craftsmen will do this, each responsible for a part, and it can be done in an hour."

Nan Ping turned around and said to Wang Ke in a discussing tone, "Mu Dong, it's still early, why don't we wait."

Seeing Nanping's impatient look, Wang Ke had no choice but to agree.

Eunuch Qin immediately called Worker Qi to start making.The first step is to push the wooden board very well. Anyone who has played the guitar knows that the material used for the guitar is very thin. In the Tang Dynasty, it was all pushed out manually, and the workload was not small.

Wang Ke has never seen how to make a guitar, and he doesn't know what to do standing there.Simply ran to the car, turned on the CD player and listened to music.Seeing that Wang Ke was gone, Nan Ping followed, and when he got into the car, he heard the singing from the car stereo and asked curiously.Wang Ke patiently told her that he had come back from the extreme west, and everyone there liked to listen to this kind of music. After listening to it for a while, Nanping also fell in love with this fresh melody.

Wang Ke took out all the CDs in the car and taught Nanping how to use them. She let her find her favorite songs there and leaned on the back of the seat to smoke.An hour is not long, nor is it short, the two of them listened to the music, and passed quickly.

Eunuch Qin ran out to find Wang Ke and asked him to go in to see if they were assembled correctly.When Wang Ke walked in, he saw an unpainted guitar with no strings installed there.Wang Ke found six suitable rhinoceros tendons, measured the length, cut them off, and installed them on the guitar.I tightened the strings and tried to pluck it with my hands, but it worked.It's just that the sound is slightly lower than the real strings.

Eunuch Qin is an expert at making pianos, and he understood Wang Ke's meaning from Wang Ke's expression, and said from the side: "My lord, do you feel that the voice is a bit low and not clear. It doesn't matter, we will put the strings on the string immediately. Treat it a bit, and it will be crisp."

As he spoke, he took off the strings and handed them over to a craftsman for processing, and he took them out after a while.Wang Ke tried to install it again, and the voice was much better this time.Although it is different from real guitar strings, it is not a big deal, after all, it can be used.

Hugging her in her arms, she checked the notes one by one, played a few chords briefly and said to Nan Ping, "Princess, let me try playing a song first."

Nan Ping stared at Wang Ke intently and nodded repeatedly.

Wang Ke thought for a while, watched Nan Ping gently pluck the strings and sang: "Let me take your heart off, try to melt it slowly, and see if I am still perfect in your heart. I am always concerned, still love me, I can't extricate myself, is there a place in my heart that I have never been to? There is always silence on the lake, where the air is full of tranquility, and the snow-white moon shines on the earth, hiding the memories you don't want to mention. You always say you are sincere You can be impulsive, true love can last forever, why your eyes are still lonely and desolate. Is I just a kind of sustenance for you, to fill the gap in your feelings, when will the forest in your heart let me stay? There is always a lake Silence, where the air is full of tranquility, and the snow-white moon shines on the earth, hiding your deepest secrets. I hope, dare not ask, to make your peaceful heart ripple again, but the heart that loves you is beyond the limit, I want to have all of you Everything. It should be, I dare not ask, I dare not let you bring up the past again, but how can I get rid of the shackles in my heart..."

A piece of "Norwegian Forest" by Wu Bai made Nanping Xinli really like the song, and it began to change.Nanping had never heard such straightforward lyrics, and the color of his face also changed.

Of course Wang Ke saw it, and hurriedly said to Eunuch Qin: "Eunuch, this is all right, and please ask a craftsman to paint it. But the paint must be thin and even."

Eunuch Qin took the guitar and said yes again and again.After a while, I remembered and asked, "My lord, how can we tell you when it's done?"

Only then did Wang Ke realize that this was really a problem, and he couldn't see it every day.

Being in a difficult situation, Nan Ping said from the side: "Just send it to my residence after finishing it, and I will tell this lord."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Wang Ke and said softly, "Mu Dong, let's go."

Wang Ke agreed, picked up Nanping's Qin, and left the Le Zaosi.

Along the way, neither of them spoke. When they arrived at the gate of the princess mansion in Nanping, Nanping got off the car and asked someone to carry Qin into the mansion. They stood in front of the mansion and looked at Wang Ke.Wang Ke didn't know what Nanping was going to do, and he couldn't turn around and leave if Nanping didn't go in, so he just sat quietly in the car and looked at Nanping standing there.

Nanping stood for a while, then suddenly ran to Wang Ke's car window, and whispered to Wang Ke: "When your qin is brought, you still have to sing to me, and I still want to listen."

After speaking, he turned around and ran to the house.The moment Wang Ke turned around in Nanping, he saw that Nanping's face had turned red.

Looking at Nanping's back, Wang Ke was so happy that he didn't know how to express it. He started the car and sang: "I hope, I dare not ask...".
