He planted peonies in the Tang Dynasty

Time passed, and in the autumn moon, the blood blisters on Ye Nu's fingertips scabbed into calluses. He was able to play freely, but he encountered a new trouble - the weather was hot, there was not much shade in the winter courtyard, and he was prone to heatstroke when he was practicing .

For training, Han Changjun specially compiled a big song called "Konggulan" which is actually called "Turning Hand Disabled" by his disciples. It has never been done before or since. It takes an hour to finish playing one time, and then change to a different mode, and it has to be repeated many times.

Ye Nu could not sit for such a long time. He just passed out when he was learning "Tai Ping Le" and passed out.

Xu Kuo was sitting in front of the medicine pot, fanning the stove with a cattail leaf fan, and flicking on the table with the other hand: "Are you awake? The whole body is wet, it's pitiful, the money for the medicine is worthless." On the public account in our pavilion."

Ye Nu wiped the sweat from his eyelashes: "Thank you, brother, go back and practice strumming quickly, don't delay the assessment at the end of the year." Xu Kuo said: "At such a young age, I have invited Gu Lang to eat a few roasted pears, and I know that I have taught my brother a lesson." ?” Ye Nu blinked.

Xu Kuo sighed: "When you were unconscious, Gu Lang asked Zhang Lang to diagnose your pulse and prescribe a prescription, and even discussed with Lezheng to give you a three-day leave, and asked Lin Zhenzhen to teach you how to play music alone. people envy."

Ye Nu smiled: "Who is Zhang Lang?" Xu Kuo said: "Zhang Jian is also a civil servant. We usually look to him for difficult and miscellaneous diseases, and the prescriptions he prescribed are effective." Ye Nu said: "Thank him .”

Just laying down, Ye Nu jumped up again, with a bang of the head: "Who will teach me?!" Xu Kuo said: "Dian Tingwen Wulang, Lin Zhenzhen." Ye Nu stammered directly: "Well, play "Doubaicao" The one who is popular, the one who is popular."

Xu Kuo shook his head, and flipped the lid of the sand pot: "As for senior brother, he is a normal person, and he knows how to make a living after all these years. Alas, I have to ask you for something." Ye Nu said: "Go ahead."

Xu Kuo poured a bowl of medicine, brought it to the side of the couch, rubbed it close, and said with a smile: "I heard that Lin Zhenzhen has a habit of cutting off sleeves, so he probably has no intention of getting married, right? You can test him out for me and see if he can do it." Give me Miss Xiuxin."

Miss Xiuxin is none other than the eldest daughter of Uncle Chunyuan. She is a well-known instructor in the Jiaofang Division. She has admired Lin Zhenzhen for many years and even collaborated with Lin Zhenzhen on music.

Ye Nu let out a long breath: "Are the few love poems written by senior brother to Gu Lang for her?" Xu Kuo said, "She is so handsome." Ye Nu said, "Then play the music for her."

Xu Kuo slapped his legs, blushing.Ye Nu smiled and said: "How about this, I'll help you arrange the music, Mr. Lin will take a look at it later, and make sure that Xiuxin's face is redder than yours, how about it?" Xu Kuo nodded: "It's a deal."

In the next afternoon, Lin Zhenzhen wore plain brocade, a thin silver hairpin, and a pipa in her arms, as if walking in the clouds, she floated into the Jixian Pavilion, but the moment she stepped through the threshold, she saw more than a dozen people Standing in front of him, Qi Shushu stared at him.

"Mr. Lin, today the master is teaching "Taipingle", and we want to learn this passage." Ye Nu was dressed neatly and smiled brightly, not at all like a patient with heatstroke. Looking at his own imagination, he made a bending motion, "Also, I would like to ask you to listen to a piece of music."

Lin Zhenzhen smiled: "Wrong." Ye Nu raised her eyes: "Huh?" Lin Zhenzhen walked in front of him, shook his hand, and put on an awkward posture: "Pray three times and nine times in the palace, see the Holy Majesty Jishou bows three times, single-character king bows twice, double-character king bows once, sees the empress and makes empty head bows, and also sees the female officials in the palace, namely Shanggong, Shangyi, Shangfu, Shangfu, Shangfu, Shanggong, etc. For the second salute, when you see the officials of the five bureaus of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, namely Yeting, Gongwei, Xiguan, Neifu, and Neifu, they all bow to each other. As for you and me, just bow your head like this."

Ye Nu didn't understand anything, but was really stunned.Lin Zhenzhen's hands looked as white and delicate as suet, water would come out when she squeezed them, but when she touched them, the rough calluses on her fingertips were like tree bark, which was painful.

"Okay, I haven't been back to Jixian Pavilion for a long time." Lin Zhenzhen finished teaching the etiquette, picked up the five-stringed pipa, and tried to pick the strings a few times, "At that time, Pei Luoer was also there, which of the noble ladies in the city would not miss it?" we."

Xu Kuo swallowed a mouthful of water and suddenly felt that there was no comparison.Lin Zhenzhen didn't know this. After adjusting Zhen, she started to teach. Compared with Han Changjun, his movements and methods were quite different, more feminine, soft yet strong.Ye Nu sighed: "It's a pity that I don't know other masters except Master and Mr. Lin."

Lin Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Guangling is a big faction, but I'm not an expert. It's just that everyone knows that Han Changjun can't play Pei Luoer when it comes to pipa alone, but no one can keep up with him when it comes to gala music. Li Shengping is well-deserved in identifying tunes and scales, while Yanyue is a collection of gods from all walks of life. The three brothers Li Guiyan are famous, as well as Lei Haiqing's flute and Xu Yunfeng's flute... They are all from the Taiyue Department Celebrities."

Ye Nu said: "The pear orchard must be beautiful, Mr. Lin, take me to play next time." Lin Zhenzhen said: "What do you want to go? Let's talk about it after you recover from your illness." Ye Nu said: "I'm not talking for nothing. , Young Master first listen to how the song is written, if it is good, then it will be named after Young Master."

Among the musicians, joking is all about joking. Once you hear the tune, there will be so many occasions, and so many real materials, all will come.Ye Nu played the old wooden pipa, Lin Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, never thought that this child, who was only thirteen years old, could make such a melody full of tension and skill.

This is often the case with the Chang'an music tour. When court customs spread among the people, for example, Han Changjun, a famous artist who devoted himself to elegant music, may not necessarily leave masterpieces.

On that day, Ye Nu wrote for Xu Kuo "The Heroes of the Jixian Pavilion Presented the Xiuxin of the Jiaofang on behalf of Xu Kuo". The famous Osmanthus osmanthus season caused a sensation in the whole foreign teaching workshop.

Not long after, Miss Xiuxin really threw the hydrangea into Xu Kuo's arms, and the marriage of Lehu in Dongyuan was always simple. Xu Kuo sent a pair of white geese, and asked his mother-in-law to calculate the horoscope. The two bought some grains and distributed them to relatives Friends don't hold wedding banquets, even if they are married, they even spend their bridal chambers in Jixian Pavilion.

Ye Nu didn't know the taste of love between men and women, and that night when he heard a strange woman panting suddenly on the other side of the couch, he felt ashamed and embarrassed, but also warm in his heart, and was happy to be a red liner in secret.

In fact, if it wasn't for the assessment at the end of the year, Ye Nu would still like to compose a few more songs and gather a few more pairs of mandarin ducks. Unfortunately, the assessment is very strict. If you don't want to be dismissed from the Advocacy Department, you have to work hard. If you want to enter the Summer Academy, You have to work hard.

Ye Nu has already played "Tai Ping Le" fluently, but he is still worried. He faintly feels that there is a dark cloud above his head covering all the people around him.

For example, he saw with his own eyes that He Lian took out the gold ingot locked in the mahogany cabinet and handed it to Cui Li and a few small officials around him. Say no such thing.

It's not that he is unreasonable, he has also considered his own family property, but a few hundred Wentongbao money is really not enough to manage it, and Gu Yue has already taken care of him in the Chunyuan, so he gritted his teeth and put all his hopes on his skills.

It was the third day before the assessment, the bells and drums of the fifth watch hadn't sounded yet, the sky was as dark as pitch black, the misty yard was already singing, and the musicians of all classes were stepping up their practice. A row of people wearing white veils.

These people are called Xie Lulang, who seldom appear in normal times. They are responsible for supervising whether the musicians are concentrating on their skills, whether their pitch is off-track, and whether their rhythm is out of order.

Ye Nu didn't know why Xie Lulang had to wear a white gauze, so he asked a little more, but Xu Kuo and Meng Yue turned blue with fright.Xu Kuo didn't dare to look around, he lowered his head and turned Mu Zhen: "They want to whip, for fear of being held hostage."

Ye Nu didn't quite believe it, so he asked He Lian, "Did Cui Cheng say you were whipping today?" He Lian hugged the pipa, lowered his eyes, and shook his head: "Just put on a posture and urge us to practice hard."

So Ye Nu played "Tai Ping Le" by himself. Because he was confident in his skills, he didn't pay much attention to it. But at the next moment, there was a whistling sound in the air, and a whip came down and hit him firmly. back.

He was startled, he couldn't hold it firmly, the pipa fell to the ground and broke the string, and just as he was about to pick up the wooden pillar, he was hit by a whip again.He suffered from pain and trembled all over, so he had to obediently lie on the ground.

Unexpectedly, putting on a battle is to be serious. Not far away, Han Changjun and Yizhong Lezheng turned their backs and walked to the other side of the tower, without saying a word, while Xielulang held a round fan and pointed at There are dozens of people in this area.

Before a cup of tea was served, the whips around Ye Nu fell like a torrential rain, and screams could be heard one after another, and when one listened carefully, everyone shouted "good fight" with tears running down their cheeks.

One after another, the cowhide whips tore through the clothes and directly hit the exposed skin, like thousands of sharp needles brushing away the fine skin, and the thorns rubbed against the flesh, causing a burning pain that permeated the whole body and made people cry.

Ye Nu propped herself on the ground, her knuckles turned white.Xu Kuo said: "Shout quickly, if you don't shout, you will be beaten to death." Ye Nu said: "Why should you be beaten to death? You didn't play it wrong!" Xu Kuo scolded: "You have always been a smart person, don't be foolish at this time!"

After the superficial skin and flesh are crushed, the next torture is another kind of pain that touches the liver and lungs. The skin and flesh are connected with the muscles and bones, pulling back and forth, which only makes the whole body convulse, the blood in the throat is surging, and it becomes difficult to even yell. .

Ye Nu was sweating on his forehead, his arms were weak, and he finally shouted: "Good fight, good fight..." He was whipped and shouted, so tormented until the leader Xie Lulang put away the fan, and the whip The whistling just stopped.

The masonry floor was covered with blood, because it contained pus and sweat, it looked greasy from a distance, but it shone brightly in the morning sun.Ye Nu spat, wiped her face with the back of her hand, raised her head, and saw a pair of black leather boots in front of her.

"You poor boy, you're very promising." Cui Li moved his boots and put his foot on Ye Nu's hand, "Lezheng has taught so many pieces, who taught you to only play "Taipingle"? Wen Wulang to teach?"

Ye Nu gritted his teeth and looked left and right, everyone was lying on the ground, only He Lian was holding the pipa with trembling shoulders, with tears of panic in his eyes, his body was clean and unscathed.
