He planted peonies in the Tang Dynasty

After appreciating the merciful flowers, both return to their own homes.

In the midsummer, business in Pingkang Square is still booming. The courtyard shops of Zuixian Building and Flower Cake Workshop are full of flowers, willows and greenery. .

If the lychee leaves its original branch, the color will be dull in one day, the aroma will dissipate in the second day, the taste will be sour in the third day, and the color and fragrance will disappear after four or five days.However, it is said that the lychees that have been brought into the Daming Palace in recent days have been produced in the south of the Five Ridges. The twigs are broken off, inserted on plantains to keep water, and then put into ice boxes for transfer along the Shu Zhongzi Meridian Road. , the dead horse following the post system, when it arrived in Chang'an, it was still sweet and delicious.

Su An lived freely, while eating the lychees that Lei Haiqing stole from the palace, while discussing the matter of recruiting disciples in Mudanfang.

It's not that he doesn't hear things outside the window. He naturally knows that there are still discussions in the streets and alleys about one eagle holding two rabbits in the moon hall. Now, the upcoming Meng Dong official examination seems to have turned the word of party struggle into a lively topic that keeps people in the government and the opposition awake at night.

His heart is like a mirror, Zhang Jiuling and Pei Yaoqing tried their best to protect their party faction, while Li Linfu tried his best to pluck out the feathers of rebellion one by one. Fortunately, the person he cared about, Gu Yue, did not follow Donggong, King Bupanshou, enthusiastically under the banner of harvesting wheat for the royal family, calmly built a garden of refuge in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Gu Yue, a member of Zhongshe, prepared a pamphlet and drafted an edict before the emperor, and won the holy family; Gu Yue, a member of Zhongshe, had an ambiguous relationship with the interview history of Jiangnan and Huainan Road, because of his marriage with a prominent family in Beijing; Gu Yueyao, a member of Zhongshe, sent Poetry and Jiangnan Daoyimenfang..."

In this way, Su An also feels at ease. In fact, since Linde Palace experienced a life-and-death relationship, he will never be confused again.

At the beginning of June, Su An finally transported three hundred "Yuefu Xianlu" back from Anyifang. The first batch was tied with red strings and sent to Zhang Sixing's mansion that had been agreed in advance, and the rest were sent to the palace according to Taichang Wei Heng's request. , I only keep a hundred copies.

He intends to grant these to several children.

Several children have already seen some nature.Gu'er has great strength and good stamina, A Ming memorizes the music quickly, A Mi's fingers are nimble, and A Lan is the youngest, but she also has some unique hobbies, and she has a unique voice.

On the eve before the plaque was changed, the door of the Peony Square was closed, red incense was lit in the main hall, and while the phoenix was singing, Su An gave the four of them this small miscellaneous book that remembered the music scores and musical instruments he had seen over the years. One person grabs a book.

"In the book, I added a small leaf for each of you to mark the chapters. The shapes and sizes are different." Su An dipped a willow branch in water, pointed it one by one, and said, "Remember, all the leaves in the world The melody is like the leaves in the world, which may have the same root, but never the same texture, and each five-string should have its own story."

The children knelt on the mat and kowtowed in rows. They all laughed and called Su An "Master" sweetly.

Lu Lan and Cha Niang then asked, what should happen to the remaining dozens of books after excluding private reservations.Su An thought for a while, and hung up the "Liu Yao Ling" tune card in the main hall, saying that, among the passers-by who will write lyrics for it in the future, if there is a destined person, he will give it to him.

"Forget it, it's still He Lian, he always invites me to sit in the mansion and meet Shao Niang." Su An said, "I'll go look for him after changing the plaque tomorrow, and put a copy in his place. It's just right. He discussed how to obtain a Ph.D. in sound."

When changing the plaque on June [-]th, I originally only wanted to make a contract with the opening date, but unexpectedly, I happened to encounter three human affairs.

At first, Su An didn't mind meeting Nan.

At noon that day, the sun was shining brightly, and the Ninth Manager brought in the first sample to accept the ceremony. The four-character plaque "Miaoyun Qingfeng" written by Gu Lang himself immediately attracted the attention of the entire long street.Ami and the others followed to pull the silk cloth, laughing like hyacinths.

Su An raised his head, the old plaque of "Cultification and Prosperity" was still hanging in the dust, who would dare to take it off?After discussing with Cha Niang and Twenty-Five, he decided that Lu Lan should send a copy of "Xianlu" to Xu Yuanwai's residence first, and then pick it up.

Lu Lan said with a smile: "Mr. Xu is an old friend, so I will go." Unexpectedly, when he leaves, the number of spectators will not decrease but will increase.

Su An rolled up his sleeves and was about to step on the ladder when an uninvited hand pushed aside the crowd and suddenly rested on his strong and thin arm.Twenty-five was startled, and went up to protect him, when a gust of wind blew in front of him, sweeping him down to the ground.

This man was tall and straight, with a sword in his hand, tiger arms, wasp waist, praying mantis legs, piercing eyes, and blood dripping from the hem of his clothes.

"On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, I don't mind chasing after Chen Wangsheng in Yimenfang, Jiangzhou. If I reward my life, I will pick up a plaque for Su."

Su An took a look: "Lang Jun, this is it?"

The original land of Yangzhou, located on Huainan Road to the north of the Yangtze River, is the starting point of Tongji Canal water transportation and has been prosperous since ancient times.Jiangnan Road, which is across the river from it, is close to Nanman, and anyone who works there, even if he is promoted, will be regarded as a derogatory.

Nan Bujue, who claimed to be a swordsman from Yangzhou, was entrusted by a large family to find an illegitimate son born in a local brothel.This big family is also legendary. It has lived together for nine generations. There are 900 people in the family and it has never abandoned a child. peace of mind.

"The commission given by the Zhang family is very generous. After I was ordered, I inquired around and learned that this son only lived in the brothel until he was ten years old. After several rounds, he finally went to Chang'an with an official... I chased him to Chang'an. When I entered the city, I learned from the disciples in the market that if you want to find someone in Lexing, you must first go to the Peony Square in Pingkang to see Su Moan."

It is said that Su Mo is well versed in Zhengyin books to accept apprentices, so Nan Bujue planned to visit, but for some reason, he was suddenly entangled and threatened by another group of bandits the night before. Shiyimenfang.

"Su Fengfeng knows that after the fall of the Southern Dynasties, the descendants of Chen Shubao's sixth brother Xuan Wang Chen Shuming took refuge in Jiangzhou, Jiangnan Dao for generations, and the fifth grandson Chen Wangsheng built Yimenfang. They never separated and often had plans to go north?"

"But it is like this. A member of the Chen family was stabbed to death by scissors when he went to a prostitute after finishing his business in Yangzhou. He died in the house of the illegitimate child of the family I was looking for. Therefore, Yimenfang asked me to find this person. Afterwards, hand them over."

Chang'an is all-encompassing, and Pingkang is even more so. Nan is not too serious about telling his own story while others gossip.

Su An put down his sleeves after hearing this, and said, "You asked me to save your life and find someone for you, but you didn't tell the truth yourself." Nan didn't mind clinging to the hilt of his sword.Su An said: "Not all the calluses on your two or three finger pulps are made by swords." Nan Butan said: "What kind of grinding are they?" Su An smiled and said: "Grass stem strings, Guangling Bamboo Western Music School .”

Nan didn't mind listening to it, hugged the escalator, climbed up in two or three steps, took off the old plaque, and threw it on the ground with a bang.

"I don't think so, I want to worship Su as my teacher."

Su An said: "Ah?" Nan Bujuan said: "I don't think I want to worship Su as a teacher." Su An said: "Nanlang, after changing this plaque, I plan to go to Liuxian Hall in Dongshi. I really want to stay, but it’s not that I can’t tolerate it, hold up the new plaque for me for a day, sing "Miaoyun Qingfeng, Yanyue Guanlang" for a day, eh, I will protect you."

"Miaoyun Qingfeng, Yanyue Guanlang." The yellow dust rose, blood dripped down, and the sound was like thunder, "Miaoyun Qingfeng..."

Su An boarded the carriage.The tea lady handed over the book and asked softly: "Shaodong's family, he is looking for a musician from Yangzhou, can he ask Mr. Lin?" Su An put down the curtain of the car and sighed: "He was born in Nuanxiang Pavilion, Yangzhou, and his father lived in the Zhang family. Ranked sixth." Cha Niang said: "How is this?" Su An said: "The one he is looking for is Mr. Lin Zhenzhen."

"Keep an eye on him and don't let him ask around."

Secondly, Su An distributed "Xianlu" to He Lian.

The layout of Liuxian Hall is exactly the same as before, the cabinets are covered with small red, red, yellow and yellow cards, which is dazzling, but when Su An came, he found that all the clerks on the cabinet had changed, and the sixth child held the key and invited him to the South Residence. sit in.

"Su Gongfeng, at the turn of spring and summer, the master contracted typhoid fever and lost his mind. The last words were to add the young master's name to the genealogy. Therefore, the young master recently, one is to prepare for Meng Dong's regular assessment, and the other is to study With fragrance."

Only then did Su An suddenly realize that He Lian invited him to be a guest so enthusiastically because he wanted to show off his abilities.

"Master He, look, I've done what I said, and I've printed this book." Su An couldn't sit still, he was wearing an official uniform of Wupin Wensan, and he didn't even ask Mrs. He, and went to see Shao first. Mother, just entered He Lian's hall, and said with a smile, "After you pass the exam and become a doctor, one of us will be in Pingkang and the other in Imperial City, and we will be higher than the apprentices who teach."

He Lian put down a handful of asafoetida in his hand, opened the first few chapters of Xiansuo, and saw the tune of Wuxian Yu, "Nan'an".

Su An crossed his legs and waited for He Lian's appreciation with a smile on his face, but He Lian's eyes fell directly on the ground.

"Asu, I only say these words to you."

At the turn of spring and summer, Mr. He accidentally contracted a minor illness.He Lian went home to visit and heard a mournful cry.It turned out that it was Shao Niang's loyal girl who saw that the servant next to his wife was bullying Shao Niang again, and desperately spoke out, trying to attract He Lian's attention.He Lian broke into the West Garden, and Shao Niang fell to the ground, her hands still covering her bloodstained face, her lips and teeth trembling.The boy spat, turned around and left.

He Lian leaned against the wall of the round gate, turned his back, took a deep breath, still hesitating whether to come out, the girl's cry came again, this time it was true love, because Shao Niang's spine was touching the rockery, from then on, Can no longer stand up.

It was only then that Su An realized that this was the reason why Shao Niang had been sitting all the time.He Lian hummed and continued talking.

"I've advised Auntie to move out of the house a long time ago, but she, being such a face-saving person, always feels it's wrong."

Regarding the matter of Xiyuanzi, He Lian pretended not to be ignorant, and worked diligently until he got his own "Xiang Pu", and then, without anyone noticing, he added a dose of asafoetida to the medicine stove in Mr. He's room. The poison of insomnia.

The toxicity is slow, and it takes only a month to take effect. After searching through Buddhist scriptures at home, no one can detect this newly made secret recipe.

"There is still half a year left for the poisoning." He Lian said, "After that, I will open a new incense shop opposite the Liuxian Hall."

The name poppies.

Su An stood up abruptly, went back and forth in the hall two or three times, and called out: "He Lian!" He Lian smiled and covered his mouth: "You keep your voice down, don't scare my mother." How many unspeakable feelings , they all merged into the battle between the two people, this battle about blood and affection.They writhed and tore, and it took a while before they stopped.

Su An naturally understands that Master He has always been indifferent to the abuse Shao Niang suffered, and He Lian, in order to return to this family to fulfill his filial piety, has also poured a long river of painstaking efforts.He Lian bit his lip and refused to admit his mistake, but only laughed at Su An's self-pity.

At that time, the sixth son heard the news and came to persuade him, and saw the two young men's clothes were messed up, tearing them like dogs in the water.

But after the fight, the two finally reconciled and talked about themselves.Su An promised He Lian that when Liuxiantang was separated, the business of Mudanfang and the relationship with the palace salary would be transferred to Xinfang.He Lian also said that there will be many rewards for the successful opening.

……

Because of this experience, the moment Su An stepped out of Dongshi, he made a decision - he would never let Nan Buzhen find Lin Zhenzhen

Three times, Pingkang never sleeps at night, and Zhuxi meets peony.

The unitary hour is coming to an end, the sound of bells and drums echoes all over the street, grape wine and cherry wine are splashed on the roadside, reflecting the sky red.

"Hero, come down quickly." The tea lady stood in front of the courtyard door, fanning her silk handkerchief, "Our house only sells tea, not alcohol, and your blood dripped in such a big puddle, how can I greet the guests?" ? The young master is teasing you."

"I know." Nan Bujue's expression didn't change, his spine straightened even more, "But I have to let him know, I'm sincere."

"Honestly or not, the Young Master's family listened to the tune." Tea Niang said, "You came so abruptly, it's good that the Young Master didn't blame you. Fortunately, those of our family went to Weizhou for business, otherwise, I would have broken your leg .”

When Su An returned to Peony Square, Nan Buji still held up the plaque and shouted "Miaoyun Qingfeng..." in a loud voice, accompanied by the girls singing, Lu Lan wrote the song "Looking for the Cha Niang". The joyful Jiaofang ditty "Dragon Boat Ride".

Su An sighed, and asked Cha Niang to take the man to the back yard to check the injury, and sent a staff to fetch medicine from Zhang Banxian.

Clinker, after taking off the bloody clothes, three blood holes were poked on the back, and the edges festered.The tea lady bit her lip, her hands trembled while washing.Nan Bujue closed his eyes, and suddenly frowned: "No." Cha Niang stopped moving for fear of his pain.

"Su Gongfu, forgive me." Nan Buzhi opened his eyes, "In this piece of yours, the feather sound is rather sharp."

Tea lady: "..."

After Su An heard it, he became interested, sat down and said, "This piece of music was composed by Lu Lanzhao, the court dancer Lu Lanzhao, to the original tune of Bai Mingda's new voice "Dragon Boat Ride." Khan, but looked at Su An from the beginning to the end, without blinking: "Appreciate the teacher." Su An was silent for a while, and asked Nianwu to take the tea lady away, and to bring good luck.

Twenty-five said: "Miao... Shaodong's family, Gu Lang told me that Miaoyun... can only play the pipa for him from now on." Su An said: "Bring it." Rub back and forth on the lace.

The five strings of wonderful luck are presented in perfect condition.

Su Andao: "Just now it's inconvenient to tell the truth in front of the tea lady, Lu Lang is really not good at Yu tunes, so that when dealing with Yu tunes, he mostly keeps them out of tunes and does not enter chords." Going back to the boat, saying that the old town is going down to Yangzhou', Sui Emperor wrote "Dragon Boat Ride", how can you not be good at Yuyin?" Su An smiled: "You play."

Nan Buzhi took out the blood-stained bamboo dial from his waist pocket, and nestled it in his fingertips in just a moment.

The movements are as neat as a sword cutting a hair, pulling the string with the left hand, and tuning the Zhen with the right. With one pick, Mudanfang will be washed away.

Su An was stunned.His miraculous pipa, in the hands of Nan Butan, unexpectedly uttered the sound for the first time, and it was already in bud.What's more, Nan Bujuan's back is still seriously injured. Although the movements of his fingers are fine, the strength of his arms will definitely be affected.

There is a feather sound, and the fingers turn quickly. Although the sound is short, it is full, like a boat that has passed ten thousand mountains without leaving the slightest wake on the river.This is the case at the beginning of each stack, wild and undistracted, and has some connotations of fighting hundreds of herbs.

After the song, the skill surprised everyone. This is not enough. The southerners claim to be orthodox in Chinese music, playing faster and more delicately.

The news of Mudanfang spread quickly, that night, all male and female musicians in Pingkangfang, who were good at five strings, all gathered around him to compete.This Yangzhou Nan doesn't mind, is it more than just looking for someone to take refuge?Obviously, they came here to learn from each other and become famous!

One piece "Dragon Boat Ride", two pieces "Twelve Hours", three pieces "Changle Flower"... But all the Yuefu pieces composed by Bai Mingda when he went to Yangzhou with the Sui Emperor, Wu Yin, Shui Tune, one song after another, compel Desuan's ears caught fire.

"Su Blessing, I don't think I have any other intentions." Nan Bujue played all 28 pieces, and many people couldn't bear the sleepiness and left. It was almost dawn, and only he and Su An were left in the courtyard. "I came here this time to worship a teacher."

Su An snatched Miaoyun back from Nan Bujuan's hand, and said: "I don't know the person you are looking for." Zhouquan." Nan Butan said, "No."

Su An said: "I can't bear the title of teacher, and I would like to be your lifelong friend." Nanbu rose up in response and knelt down on one knee.

The chirping of cicadas is messy, and the summer wind is manic.Su An was not only excited to have such a friend, but also amazed by the story behind the scenes.

Nan Bujuan said: "I don't think I can serve you, it is Zhuxi Wuxian master Lou Junyan. He is the master of Yangzhou. However, Jiangzhou flute master Chen Tao'er forced the five strings out of the main tune by forcing the volume of his voice. Without calling, tampering with Zhuxi's original song in Jiangzhou."

People in Huainan and Jiangnan now have heard of the North-South Peony Workshop from the merchants who came down from Luoyang. Although they don’t recognize the blood lineage, they also appreciate the "Liu Lang" which blends Wu Yin and water tunes. At that time, Lou Junyan singled out Nan Butan, who was proficient in martial arts, from among the admirers, and ordered him to go to Chang'an to worship orthodoxy and uphold justice.

To put it simply, Nan does not dislike the same school, and wants to return to the status of the lord of Jiangnan Le, hoping to borrow Su An's fame.

Su An had to admit that no one, like Nanbu on June [-]th, had ever stirred up waves in his heart.

A little bit of red incense, Su An is not too disrespectful to accept Nan as a follower.
