When Xiao Tang, Su Jinniang and others arrived at the most lively Long Street in Daming Mansion, Yang Xu had funded and rebuilt three restaurants to create an elegant and exquisite theater.
The poet Qin Guan, a layman from Hangou, in "Magpie Bridge Immortal·Xianyun Nongqiao" means "as soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win, and there are countless people in the world", so he named this building the golden wind and jade dew building, although there were theaters and music sheds in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
In the Song Dynasty, there were hook-and-rail tile roofs, but the three-sided stage in the theater, which can accommodate more than 3,000 people, is quite new.
Due to the frequent prosperity of folk entertainment activities in the Song Dynasty, this theater has attracted the attention of people from all walks of life in Daming Prefecture since the construction of this theater. They were curious about what Ren Xia Xiao Tang, who was famous in Daming Prefecture, was going to do. This Golden Wind
What else is interesting about Yulu Tower?
The same was true for Liang Shijie. When Xiao Tang and others came to Jinfeng Yulu Tower, four official sedans accompanied by fifty or sixty people came here. Liang Shijie walked out of the sedan with a straight-legged futou on his head.
, equipped with a silver fish bag, and wearing a third-grade purple landscape official uniform. When others see him, they will not shy away and step out of the way.
When Xiao Tang saw him, he hurriedly stepped forward to bow and said, "Xiao Tang has met Mr. Zhongshu."
Liang Zhongshu said with a smile in his eyes: "Hahaha, you're welcome. I never thought that you, Xiao Tang, are a wonderful person. What kind of tricks could you do?"
Originally, Liang Shijie saw that Xiao Tang was young, so he was not in a hurry to entrust him with important tasks. After Xiao Tang was sentenced to exile, he just went to the left-behind department to make a fortune. The troops who were originally sentenced to exile belonged to the Daming Mansion.
In terms of military establishment, the Xiang army was nothing more than local soldiers, most of whom were eating free pay and wasting no time in training. Xiao Tang was also happy to be free and spent all his energy on displaying the Xiao family and honing his martial arts.
Unexpectedly, in the past two years, Xiao Tang not only managed his Xiaojiaji in an orderly manner, but also the business grew bigger and bigger. Everyone around Daming Mansion and even on Hb East Road knew it. Not only that, Daming Mansion banned
The Xiang Army and the Horse Army were in short supply of war horses, so various efforts were made to encourage civilians to smuggle horses into the country. In more than two years, Xiao Tang made private purchases at the Song and Liao border, adding three to four hundred good horses to the Remaining Department, not to mention the sale and purchase of horses.
, Xiao Tang sent him to Xiaojiaji's car to provide Liang Shijie with a lot of help.
Xiao Tang replied respectfully: "Haojiao Master Zhongshu learned that in the past two years, I and my subordinates who are proficient in music have been trying hard to compose some repertoire. I thought whether these repertoire are good or not. I am not as arrogant as Mr. Zhongshu.
Who can judge the elegance of Bai Zaibi? So I can only dare to ask Mr. Zhongshu to raise the jade toe in person, and beg Mr. Zhongshu for his generous advice."
In the past two years, Liang Shijie has also noticed all the ingenious tricks Xiao Tang has done in Goulan Houses, folk gatherings, and restaurants. In the past few months, he has also seen Xiao Tang's huge investment in Jinfeng Yulu Building.
Curious. Liang Shijie listened to Xiao Tang's polite words again and thought that one of the reasons he used Xiao Tang's case was to attack Zhao Tingzhi, the other was to enhance his reputation in Daming Mansion, and the third was that he really took a fancy to Xiao Jiaji's family.
Geographical location, but looking at what Xiao Tang has done for more than two years, it is an unexpected surprise. It seems that this person... is really worthy of promotion.
Thinking of this, Liang Shijie's face was filled with joy, he stroked his beard and said with a long smile: "Okay, let me see what other tricks you can come up with out of the blue."
66 In succession, there were Wen Da, the military supervisor of Daming Mansion, Lu Junyi, a young member of the Lu Mansion, and Cai Fu and Cai Qing, brothers of the jail, and other acquaintances of Xiao and Tang.
After returning home, Xiao Tang's stewards also gathered at the Jinfeng Yulu Tower, and at this moment, Xingliu Yingyan from Cuixiangju also came here with a group of orioles and swallows.
"Yingyan has met Mr. Xiao." When Liu Yingyan met Xiao Tang, he wished him a blessing, bowed down and said.
Xiao Tang returned the greeting and said: "I have been busy with Miss Yingyan these days. Without the help of all the sisters in Cuixiangju, I am afraid that the day when my Golden Wind and Jade Dew Building can welcome guests will still be far away."
Liu Yingyan pursed her lips and said with a sweet smile: "Master Xiao, please never be too modest. I'm afraid that after today, my sisters in Cuixiangju will still be grateful to Master Xiao."
Since Xiao Tang returned to Xiaojiaji, he knew that this courtesan composed music to promote Xiao Tang's righteous deeds when he was being interrogated and imprisoned. For a time, he was widely praised in Daming Palace.
Feng Yulu Tower realized its idea of holding a concert, so it asked someone to find Liu Yingyan as soon as possible. Liu Yingyan originally wanted to repay Xiao Tang's kindness, so he agreed immediately, but he did not expect several times after the menstruation.
With the performance, the singers in Cuixiangju suddenly felt that Xiao Tang's plan would definitely be successful, and they all rehearsed it all the time, waiting for a blockbuster today.
Jinfeng Yulu Tower was originally located in the bustling Changjie Street in Damingfu. It was even more lively today. Xiao Tang invited officials, merchants and talented officials from Damingfu to hang out among the Goulan tile houses. The concert was divided into four themes.
, "Wide World", "Swallowing Mountains and Rivers", "Souls and Dreams" and "Chivalrous Heroes", today is the opening of the first day of "Wide World", Xiao Tang only receives invitations and does not receive any money, he likes to hunt for novel and new ways of playing.
When the dignitaries and young masters saw that Xiao Tang was playing new tricks, how could they not do it?
The spectators were invited into the beautiful and beautifully decorated Jinfeng Yulu Building. There were rows of servants in the building waiting on them. Green plums were cooking wine, and portions of fresh seasonal fruits were placed in front of everyone's tables before the show started.
, the welcome music was already playing in the building. The musicians were playing the Dance of the Golden Snake, which was composed of folk music by Nie Er of later generations. The orchestral part was replaced by silk and bamboo, panpipes, festival drums, etc., and the music was enthusiastic.
It is overflowing with joy, making people feel happy even before they sit down.
After all the spectators were seated, they suddenly heard the sound of a flute, and the curtain slowly opened, and Yan Qing was playing the bamboo flute with her mouth in her mouth. The sound of the flute was cool and clear, and the melody of "Love the country more than the beauty" was played hundreds of times.
.I also saw Xu Guanzhong closing his eyes and tapping the time gently, listening to the melodious rhyme of the flute. Sometimes it was lively and cheerful, as if he was listening to the chirping of birds among the flowers. Sometimes it was clear and distant, as if he was looking at the sea and sky from the end of the world. Until the sound of the flute turned into
The rain at night in Xiaoxiang gradually disappeared, and finally returned to complete silence.
Yan Qing had been walking around in various associations in Daming Mansion, and he was very famous. He was also a shrewd and intelligent person. As soon as Yan Qing appeared on the scene, he sat at Yiyun Society (singing songs) and Jiao Dui Society (
Sumo wrestling), Jinbiao Club (playing with crossbows), Yinglue Club (sticks) and the young masters who met Yan Qing all applauded loudly.
Yan Qing and Xu Guanzhong were naturally handsome, and at such an age, they were still young. They were extremely lethal to the young girls present who had not left the court, or the wives who were married to married women. They allowed these two
Miaoren, who are in their prime, play tunes with extremely rich pop elements and strong melody to stir their hearts.
When all the spectators present clapped their hands and applauded, for just a moment, the musicians plucked the strings and danced the harp, and Xu Guanzhong played the harp with both hands. The song "Dream Water Country" seemed to bring everyone to the water town in the south of the Yangtze River with enchanting mist, rain, and sultry spring scenery, with willow shadows, smoke, and Daming Mansion.
The singers and dancers from all the brothels also performed in unison, and the guqin, flute, cucurbit flute, erhu, xiqin and other musical instruments sang in unison, and all the guests present were mesmerized by the sound.
In the dream, the music of the water town was interspersed with the Drunken Master soundtrack market, Tang Bohu ordered the opening song of the Qiu Xiang movie and other tracks. While everyone present was thinking about it, Yan Qing changed to an ancient flute and suddenly blew it, and the long and continuous flute sound echoed.
In the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Tower, everyone felt a sense of desolation and sadness. After a few turns of the prelude, Yan Qing sang another re-arranged song of "Aobao Meeting", which spread to everyone's ears.
They moved back to the dreamy water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and were suddenly transported into the vast and sad desert.
Xu Guanzhong's guzheng sounded, and Liu Yingyan's slender jade fingers were playing the pipa. For a moment, the drums and horns were buzzing, and the desolation of the desert Xisai touched everyone's hearts. As the melody became more and more urgent, the flute, zither and pipa were played immediately.
Together, it completely led everyone's artistic conception to float with the music. After this song, everyone present felt inexplicably happy! ...
The Damingfu concert on the first day was a complete success.
After waiting for a day, the next theme "Swallowing Mountains and Rivers" was no longer free. After the concert on the first day caused a sensation in Daming Mansion, the 60-guan ticket price was sold out as soon as it was sold.
Everyone in the Daming Mansion was already scrambling to get a ticket. When the scene of "Swallowing Mountains and Rivers" started, the seats were already packed.
The opening was created by a later CCTV music production director, with the magnificent dragon drum and seal characters, and the sonorous guzheng accompaniment, which made people feel a sense of despair. Later, although Yan Qing, Xu Guanzhong, and Liu Ying were missing,
The solos and ensembles of Yan and others, such as Memories of the Forbidden City, Beyond the Clouds and Mountains, and Dawn of Heroes (the main horn melody is replaced by wind instruments such as Hujia), are already impressive to listen to.
Majestic, soul-stirring...
The theme of the next concert, "Souls and Dreams," brought tears to the ladies of the official family present. It opened with the classic martial arts soundtrack "The World and the Solitary Shadows Let Me Go", followed by the original scenery of my hometown, Butterfly Love, Forgetting Each Other, etc.
The long and infatuated piece performed by Yan Qing and Xu Guanzhong made those watery girls twitch, their eyes red, and the tears just rolled in their eyes.
When Yan Qing played the flute and Xu Guanzhong danced the flute, Xiao Tang also came on stage to play the huqin, which caused a round of applause from the audience. It turned out that Xiao Tang saw Yan Qing and Xu Guanzhong practicing very hard for this concert.
, I have also put some thought into learning musical instruments in my spare time to cultivate my character. But when it comes to flutes, flutes, harps, and zithers, he is not as good as Yan Qing and Xu Guanzhong in terms of skills and appearance. But when I first read "The Swordsman"
In addition to the popular protagonist, Xiao Tang also had a great impression of Mr. Mo Da, the head of the Hengshan Sword Sect, "Xiaoxiang Yeyu". Although he could not achieve the level of "hiding the sword in the piano and the sound of the sword and the piano", after performing it, he was impressed.
Also in tune.
Su Jinniang in the audience saw Xiao Tang sandwiched between two handsome young men, playing a huqin, and felt three parts funny and seven parts touched. Then she thought about how the two of them were moved by the music from the time they met until now.
, her eyes gradually turned red.
Waiting for the last song of this theme, Xu Guanzhong looked melancholy and just picked up the melody of "Butterfly Lovers", a song that commemorates the love and longing for lovers, when all the women present, including some sentimental young men, were as big as if they were possessed.
Tears fell down one after another, everyone cried till they were like pear blossoms and rain...
After wandering around the Daming Mansion, the next day when the next theme of the concert was "Chivalrous Heroes", everyone present felt a hearty and joyful feeling!
As soon as the overture of the opening knife show was over, a song was adapted from the ancient song "The General Orders Men to Be Strong", which made everyone feel as if they had been beaten to death. There was also a song as compact as chivalry, the cucurbit flute and the flute, played by Pu'an.
Popular repertoire such as Swordsman Jianghu Flute and Flute Ensemble adapted by the curse can make people's blood boil, and the pride in their hearts becomes higher and higher.
At the last moment, when the sound of the piano and flute lingered in the ears of the audience, some literati and wealthy guests were thinking of filling in good lyrics for such a good song. But after a while, Yan Qing put down the flute with a smile and opened her mouth to sing. Everyone listened.
They were stunned, savoring the distant echo between the words and the music, and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling. Gradually, they also sang loudly along with Yan Qing:
“The sea laughs, the tide surges across the shore, and I follow the waves to remember the present;
The sky laughs, and there are tides in the world. God knows who will lose and who will win;
The mountains and rivers are smiling, the misty rain is far away, and the waves are sweeping away the mortal world. How much do we know in this world?
The breeze smiles, causing loneliness, and there is still a lingering evening glow of pride;
The common people are smiling, no longer lonely, the pride is still smiling foolishly..."
When they sang together, everyone shook their heads gently, raised their glasses, and drank in the melody. At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten all the worries that were weighing on their hearts...
After four games and eight days, the Cuixiangju where Xiao Tang, Yan Qing, Xu Guanzhong and Liu Yingyan were staying caused an even bigger sensation. One word spread to ten and ten spread to hundreds. People came to the Golden Wind and Jade Tower in an endless stream, and even
There are also brothels and house pickpockets playing their own music in various places, but everyone only remembers that there was a talented and elegant prodigal Yan Qing in Daming Mansion, and Xu Guanzhong, a relegated immortal who was proficient in music and a hero. On the contrary, their actions were even more disguised.
Throughout the Song Dynasty, the name of Jinfeng Yulu Tower of Daming Mansion was promoted, which made Yan Qing and Xu Guanzhong even more famous, and they were called "the first idols of the Song Dynasty".
The classic repertoire of this concert created by Ren Xia Xiao Tang, after a period of time, flowed into Bianliang City, Tokyo, and reached the ears of Zhao Ji, Huizong of the Song Dynasty. This is a story for later, so I won’t mention it for now...
----------
Because I have no previous experience in how to write musical descriptions into novels, in order to write this chapter last night, I put on headphones and drank beer while typing while listening to the tracks that appeared in this chapter. I wanted to restore the feeling of the article while writing the book.
As a result, I got high after listening to it, got high after drinking, and then fell asleep in front of the computer desk...
When I woke up today, my ability to code was poor due to my hangover. When I woke up, my head was dizzy. My thoughts were very diffuse when I was typing, and I couldn't get back to the central idea, so I have only finished writing this chapter now. I wanted to continue yesterday and today.
As for the later part, now my head seems to have been hollowed out. I feel guilty... While I keep updating every day, I will also go back and check if there are any mistakes in the previous article and make improvements, because I really want to write this well.
