He planted peonies in the Tang Dynasty

As soon as you enter the inner tent, you can see that the shelves are full of exquisite musical instruments.Su An picked up a curved-neck pipa, and said: "This style is small and light, and can bounce back when lying on the back." Bai Su looked Su An up and down: "Sir, you really have eyesight. I am afraid that no one in the world would dare to play the pipa of Kucha Kingdom." Fight for second place." Su An threw the pipa across the air: "Let me listen to the seven tunes."

The seven tunes of Qiuci originated from Tianzhu in the north, and it is richer than the traditional pentatonic tunes in the Central Plains, which suits Su An's preferences.He had learned a few Buddhist songs by Su Zhipo, a master of Kucha, and it was hard to put them down, and now he has been thinking about them for a long time.

Bai Su smiled, whistled, and a black eagle flew towards him.The black eagle's eyes are as bright as jewels, and its claws are jumping on the four strings, playing exotic melodies.Su An said: "The sound quality is clear and crisp, and the vibration is even." Bai Su said: "Thank you, Mr. for your praise." After speaking, he clapped his palms and ordered the assistant to fetch the treasure, and brought out a dragon-headed harp inlaid with snake scales.

At that moment, Su An only felt a glimpse, and saw 23 strings showing colorful colors in the candlelight, and a circle was reflected in the face.Bai Su smiled and said: "Young Master Su, I don't know, but the konghou originally belonged to Su Zhipo of Kizil. There is a problem." Su An said, "What?" good."

Gu Yue said: "Brother Bai, it's too evil." Su An said: "I'll try." Gu Yue said: "A Su." Although Su An has never learned konghou, but silk instruments are similar, he sat down and groped Pinxiang, first there were two or three clear sounds like a dragonfly touching water, and then he started to play the melody of the whole Buddhist song.

"The qin played by Su Zhipo, it recognizes me." Su An smiled, and her wrists were full of love, "The sound is so pure, I have never heard it like this, even the chime from the Lizheng Hall is not as good as it Accurate."

Bai Su said: "It seems that it is God's will, it is only suitable for Mr. Su." Su An said: "Yes, I like it so much, you have to give it to me." : "A bosom friend can't say give it away, but say return it to the original owner." Su An also clicked, the speaker didn't mean it, but the listener meant it.

This power, accompanied by the purest voice in the world, stirred up a storm in his heart.He looked at Bai Su's face, which was colorful, including red for making friends, and white for business and power.

Su An settled down and let go of the clear strings: "Your instrument is top-grade, but you can't make a decision now, you have to go back to the office to discuss." Bai Su nodded.Gu Yue picked up the wine glass, and took a sip from his lips: "Then I don't want to sit and chat with you, Brother Bai, I'm on business, so I'll take my leave first." Bai Su nodded again.

Afterwards, a group of people walked through various Hu people's music workshops one after another. In addition to Qiuci, there were also Gaochang, Shule, Kangguo, and Anguo. Some are half-moon shaped.Su An kept it in her heart, and did not dare to reveal her preferences indiscriminately.

"Want to see Hu Xuanwu?" On the carriage, Gu Yue ticked off the list of bands recorded on the bamboo slips one by one, and asked casually, "There is wine in the tent, so you can drink with the dancers."

Su An shook his head: "I've learned enough lessons today, and I'm still thinking about that vertical harp. In fact, I really like it." Gu Yue said: "People lie to you, how can there be..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Su An's hands flicking in the air, recalled the old incident of Lihua Pavilion, suddenly changed his mind, raised the curtain of the car and said, "Uncle Gu, ask the Bai family to get the harp down, the ceremony will It will be sent after the hospital releases the rankings."

When Su An heard this, his eyes lit up: "Hey, do you agree?" Gu Yue said, "Yeah." Uncle Gu turned his head, his wrinkled old face was smiling, looking at Su An was like looking at a young horse. Coming soon.

After returning to Taile Department, Su An said the same thing about Xirong pipa. Due to the different wood and shape, its sound is clearer and shorter than that of Central Plains pipa. Moreover, most of the carvings and paintings are abnormal in appearance. gorgeous.

Gu Yue and the rest of the clerks were scribbling pen and ink next to the official case, referring to Su An's assessment and writing down the pricing and quantitative rules of each company, while adding notes, and then taking the official seal and order post of the Tai Le Department, and turning these rules into official documents.

It's just that good things in this world don't always come easily. On the seventh day when the announcement was made in Chongrenfang Lihuiyuan, Su An was expecting the Bai family to send the harp, but suddenly heard that the Bai family delivered the musical instrument. The caravan was detained by the official post, and it was overturned, and the appearance and sound quality of many pipas were damaged.

Not only that, as long as the prices of materials related to the production and repair of pipas on the market have all risen, the 64 Hufangs are overwhelmed for a while, and they dare not even enter the door of the Lihuiyuan, and every house is shivering with cold.

It was raining that day, and a shallow puddle formed in front of Gu Shiba's gate.The Bai family found it, and the mahogany box they brought contained the vertical harp that promised to be returned to its original owner.

"Mr. Su, Gu Lang, Qiucifang and Zhongyuan Lefang have been living in peace for hundreds of years, but this time, it is really Zhao Shun, the son of the Zhao family, who is unreasonable. , Colluding with the official station..."

Sitting at the table, Su An heard Bai Su's groans and sighs, and realized that the matter was not that simple, it was the result of an expert running on an expert.In Chang'an, the large-scale music workshops for making and repairing musical instruments are all concentrated in Chongrenfang, and the most famous one is the Zhao family.The Zhao family has received the palace music salary for decades, and they are the well-deserved leaders of Lexing.No matter who it is, even if there are real goods in the warehouse, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the market if the Zhao family is not nodded.

"Brother Bai, don't worry." Su An made up his mind and held Bai Su's hand tightly, "It is the imperial court's will to give Hu Fang Le's salary, and I will not obstruct you with cheap means, I will naturally pay you back. "

Gu Yue rolled up his sleeves and wiped the table next to him. After the Bai family left, he shook off the rag and went to the sink to help the tea lady wash the cup.Tea Lady smiled and said: "The Young Master's family wants to uphold justice." Gu Yue said: "It's not because of the treasure."

Afterwards, Gu Shiba became lively, and with Gu Yue's acquiescence, Su An began to learn to plan the layout—running errands to various commercial firms to inquire about Yumen's tax clearance, and Cha Niang to inform the Jingzhao Prefecture Yamen and the City Administration Yamen, Aunt and Aunt made peace in the workshop, Uncle Gu brought people... After making arrangements, Su An breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around to see Gu Yue still busy with teacups and teapots.He ran over, smiling, and obediently picked up a cup to wash.

"Asu, that one has been washed." Gu Yue folded the cups neatly and put them back in the cabinet, then turned around and said, "Don't worry, if you really want to take care of Lexing, wait for the news from Yumen Pass, I will take You go to Chongrenfang to see Uncle Zhao."

Tang Dynasty "Yuefu Miscellaneous Records": "There is a wife, Zheng Zhongcheng, who is good at huqin. There are two pipas in the inner library, the size of Hulei, Zheng Chang plays the small Hulei, and occasionally the head of the spoon is off. Send it to Chongrenfang Nan Zhao for repair. About making musical instruments It is known that in this workshop, the two Zhao family are the most wonderful."

According to this record, most of the workshops for making musical instruments are concentrated in Chongrenfang.In fact, although the Tang government stipulated that commercial activities must be carried out in fixed cities, small-scale trading activities still existed in the workshops, and it was impossible to completely ban them. Various small workshop industries, such as "Tongfang", "Official Jinfang", "Dyefang", "Paperfang" and so on are classified and live in each workshop.
