Chapter 34 The Six Arts of a Gentleman - Musical Arts Lianshaochi Family

"A gentleman has six arts, and a woman has eight graces. Among the eight tones, there are only chimes and chimes, which are only available in Yuefu."

"The only instruments suitable for men to learn are earth leather, silk, bamboo, and wood. Little guy, what do you want to learn?"

Si Yuandao stroked his goatee and said, "Master Chen is becoming more and more efficient, but he only delivered the instrument in seven days."

Xie Yuheng walked around the long table several times and finally selected a jade flute.

White jade is the main body, and Hetian jasper is used as embellishment at both ends.

She didn't have any particular favorite musical instrument, but it was because when the video of her ancestors was shown in the Treasure Pavilion, there were a few scenes of flute playing.

"You are a good choice." Si Yuandao said cheerfully, his eyes fixed on one place, as if he was remembering someone.

After a long while he said: "This is a gift given by the Emperor of Qi Dynasty to a... minister who likes flutes very much.

The courtier never used the flute until his house was confiscated by Emperor Guangxiao. The jade flute was kept in a brocade box. It's a pity, it's a pity..."

It's a pity that the hero didn't end well, and his whole family was executed.

However, I heard some rumors in the countryside that a bloodline seems to have been preserved. It's just that for hundreds of years, the name of the Xie family in Qiantang, Yangzhou has not been heard of again, and the rumors are just rumors.

"Speaking of which, you still have the same surname as that minister." Si Yuandao came back to his senses.

Looking down, he saw the child biting his lower lip with tears in his eyes.

Si Yuandao was so frightened that only one soul was left. He quickly squatted down and carefully wiped away his tears with his sleeves.

He coaxed softly: "What's going on? I don't like it when I praise you for your discernment. Then I won't praise you next time, and I won't cry."

On weekdays, the little guy is so well-behaved and calm that he doesn't look like a child, which makes it easy for people to overlook his age. This aggrieved little look made the old man feel like his heart was being grabbed, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Si Yuandao's mind... His subordinate paused and asked quietly: "Is it possible that the Xie family in Jiangling is related to that minister?"

"I am the twentieth generation grandson of Xie Qian." The childlike voice struck Si Yuandao's heart directly.

Xie Yuheng lowered his eyes and looked at the little tiger embroidery on the shoes.

I chose this flute by mistake, and I discovered it by accident. The gentleman knows his ancestors.

Xie Qian served the country and the people throughout his life, but after his death, no emperor reversed his verdict. Then they can only be the descendants of the people who originally murdered their ancestors, and they have always held power.

That's fine too. The enemy is in the light and we are in the dark.

Si Yuandao's pupils shrank. The information His Majesty gave him about Xie Yuheng was only for three generations. He has been in Qinghe Village for several months and has passed by the Xie Family Ancestral Temple several times.

After all, it was the Xie family's ancestral temple. What kind of thing was it that he, a person with a foreign surname, asked to go to worship for no reason?

"There was an official from the Ministry of Revenue named Chi Bai who came with Mr. Chen earlier. He is the one who always wears white everywhere he goes. Have you ever seen him?"

Xie Yuheng nodded. Not only had he met him, but he had also fought against him.

I think some functions of Chibai should start to stop working now. If you like to pester a man, that can only help him. No way, the main character is a kind-hearted person who is willing to help others.

Si Yuandao let out a long sigh, and took Xie Yuheng with his calloused hands to sit at the desk.

I drank the rest of the tea, poured it into the inkstone and started grinding the ink.

"The Chi family that murdered your ancestor Xie Qian during the family seduction incident is the same Chi family that now belongs to Shangjing Lian Shao.

Everyone knows that Chi is a thief, but the Chi family has deep roots and is married to many aristocratic families. Not only that……"

Si Yuandao took a pen from the pen rest, dipped it in ink, and lifted the pen. Outline a few lines on the paper, then circle a place and write the words Wusun Guo.

"When Chu Tianchen was in power, Wusun Guokunmo asked to marry Princess Daliang. At that time, the only princess of the right age was Chu Tianchen's favorite Princess Mingzhu. So..."

Xie Yuheng followed Si Yuandao's words and said, "So, Chu Tianchen chose the daughter of the Chi family."

She heard her father mention that Kunmo from Wusun Kingdom had half the blood of Daliang, but she didn't expect that he was from the Chi family.

Si Yuandao nodded and circled the position of the Shangjing Lotus Spoon. A big arrow points to Wusun Kingdom.

Then he said: "Chu Tianchen named Chi Bai's aunt, Chi Yao. He went to the Wusun Kingdom for Princess Mingyue's marriage. Chi Yao was trained as a princess by the Chi family since she was a child, and she is full of tricks and scheming."

In addition, there were Chu Tianchen and the Chi family behind them. After the death of the previous Wusun Kunmo, Chi Yao's son was directly promoted to the position. "

Si Yuandao sighed, took off the paper, and burned it cleanly in the charcoal fire. This thing was not meant to be worn outside.

"From then on, Wusun defended Daliang against some Huns who went south. The Chi family also sold Daliang's silk, porcelain, and tea to various countries in the Western Regions through Wusun.

Chu Tianchenle was able to step aside as the boss and handed over the entire domestic silk business to the Chi family. Now 70% of Daliang's silk industry is in the hands of the Chi family. "

Xie Yuheng stroked the jade flute and said in a deep voice: "So now that the Daliang treasury is empty, there is nothing we can do to the Chi family."

Kunmo of Wusun State ransacked his house, but he couldn't do it.

When Chu Heng attacked Shangjing, the Chi family led other aristocratic families out of the city to surrender and greet the new emperor.

In this way, there is no punishment.

With this ability to adapt to the wind, no wonder it has remained standing for hundreds of years.

Si Yuandao touched the young disciple's head lovingly and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid. The Chi family must have offended many people over the past hundreds of years, and they won't care much about your Xie family."

Besides, His Majesty doesn't intend to let the Chi family keep jumping around.

Wait, something seems wrong! Si Yuandao looked at Xie Yuheng with wide eyes and said, "How do you know that the treasury is empty?"

Xie Yuheng simply blinked his eyes and said: "I felt that Mr. Chen was quite poor earlier, and you said that the Chi family controls 70% of the silk, doesn't it mean that the treasury is empty..."

Because what Chen Qiu was talking about earlier was the ladies and wives of aristocratic families, not those who went to Beijing, nor did they include court officials.

The little old man blew his beard and stared, feeling like he was being tricked.

Xie Yuheng quickly changed the subject and said, "Sir, please teach me how to play the flute. Yuheng also wants to understand the elegance of his ancestors."

Walk the unfinished road of our ancestors and play the flute that our ancestors loved. It is up to her to fulfill the unfulfilled long-cherished wish of our ancestors.

However, she is not as kind as her ancestors.

……

An hour later, the shrill sound of a flute came from the wing in the front yard.

The birds on the treetops on the roof flew away from Xie's front yard as if fleeing for their lives.

Outside the house, there is Chang He, and his eyes are distracted.

In the house, Si Yuandao wanted to cry but had no tears.

Listening to others playing the flute costs money, listening to Xiao Yuheng playing the flute costs life!

Looking at Si Yuandao's stiff expression, Xie Yuheng touched her nose. She seemed to have no talent in this area. Alas, I can only practice hard in space.

.....

The next day.

Early in the morning, Xie Tinghai found the sugar cane Xie Yuheng asked for yesterday and asked Si Yuan uncertainly: "Master Si, is there really sugar as white as snow in the world?"

Si Yuandao yawned incomprehensibly, and said thoughtfully: "I have never seen Ruxue, and the sugar in the royal kitchen in the palace is only amber."
