technical type

Ji Mo didn't fully accept the old man's praise. The idea of ​​being happy and smooth was an idea that came to him, but it was not without trace. Someone can get angry because of a sentence, and the anger hurts the liver , He just changed that sentence into a tune, using music to attract people's aspirations, whether angry or hurt, that is, repeating the same old tune, nothing new.

It's like some people shed tears when they listen to a song. This level of "sorrow" will not cause too much damage to the body. Big and dropped, not so surprising.

Ji Mo chatted with the old man again, and said that he is actually a musician, and he came to Fucheng for the first time, and wanted to find a job as a musician.

He didn't expect the old man to help, but he said it, and talked about his situation, but unexpectedly, the old man turned around and gave him a surprise, asking him to take the Fu Yue examination, and if he passed, he would be able to become a Wang Fu Musician.

This mansion is about the King of Beichen. This prince is the seventh son of the first emperor. He had a reputation for liking music in his early years. As he got older, this liking became even better. Basically, he called for musicians every year, except for the court. Apart from musicians, there are also the most musicians in his palace.

This old man is none other than the doctor of the Northern Chen Palace. He was originally an imperial doctor. Later, when the Northern Chen King opened the mansion, he was appointed by the late emperor to become the official doctor of the Prince's Palace.

He didn't want Ji Mo to thank him in person, but after knowing his address, he sent the news directly to Ji Mo's house. The housekeeper who didn't know why saw it, and was very pleasantly surprised. He always felt that his young master had more Mysterious, it's a pleasant surprise to receive such a post after only going out for a day, and the second day after arriving in Fucheng.

With this incident, I felt that there was not enough time. The housekeeper recruited his servants to change Ji Mo's clothes. After a few days of busy work, he finally got ready. He was brand new from head to toe, just waiting to go to the Fu Yue assessment.

Because the palace is recruiting musicians every year, there are some rumors about what needs to be assessed in this regard. The steward sent someone to find out, and when he came back, he told Ji Mo one by one, so that he could be prepared.

It was the first time that Ji Mo discovered that the housekeeper was so easy to use. Many things had already been done on his own initiative without his having to mention them.

After looking at it, it was not a big problem, so I went there empty-handed that day.

The Fu Yue assessment is a bit like an interview. People are led to the musical instrument room, and they are asked to choose their best musical instruments. After they are selected, they will choose a piece from the existing scores to play.

There is a matter of chance here, if you draw out what you don't know, it will be bad.If a single person is interviewed, he can't even make up for it, so he can only bite the bullet.

One must be able to understand music scores and distinguish whether the score is a qin score or a flute score. Different musical instruments use different sheet music styles, which cannot be generalized. If it is not suitable for the selected musical instrument, it is necessary to consider changing it. The problem is that you can't follow the sheet music completely.

The seemingly simple interview is not lacking in difficulty.

Ji Mo doesn't know how the court musicians are tested. Kuang Yuan never said it. Ji Mo suspects that Kuang Yuan never took the test. What kind of family is the Kuang family? Musicians for generations have almost monopolized the position of court musicians. , do I still need to take the exam?

Who dares to take the test?

Who is eligible?

This is the first time to participate in the Fu Yue assessment, only to find that it is not easy. I think that the assessment of court musicians should be improved, so I can't tell what the royal family wants to be excellent.

The third part of the assessment is the ensemble. There are two or three musicians who can play a piece of music together. This ensemble does not mean that everyone can sing together from the beginning to the end. Just like a chorus, a musical voice is also important. cut-in problem.

At what time, which instrument sounds better and can achieve better results, and at what time, it is better for two or three instruments to sound together.

The scores are all ready-made, and all they have to do is to choose, choose the most suitable piece for "forming a group".

If it wasn't for such a serious occasion, Ji Mo would really feel that it was a bit like the selection of a boy group, all musicians he didn't know, gathered together and assigned them separately, and then quickly formed a group to debut and complete a piece of music together.

Of course, there are no songs, just tunes.

As soon as Ji Mo met the two musicians, one of them was originally a Fu Yue, and he directly stated which musical instrument he was good at and which piece of music was the best match.

The other, like Ji Mo, came to take the Fu Yue exam today. Following his appearance, he said that he was good at musical instruments and repertoires, and said that he didn't know that song, so it would be better to change to another one.

Ji Mo also followed suit, pointing out a few pieces of music and asking for their opinions on whether it is acceptable.

After a brief exchange, everyone talked about when to cut into which note, which note they were holding, and then assigned the tune.

There is no rehearsal, just go straight to it.

This kind of intense assessment is inexplicably exciting.

It was the first time for Ji Mo to cooperate with others. He was afraid that something might go wrong, so he kept being cautious until the end of the song, and there was nothing wrong with it, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

The person in charge of the assessment didn't hold back, and directly announced that they passed the assessment. Since then, Ji Mo has become an official musician of the palace.

Hearing that the two of them passed the examination, the man who was originally Fu Yue smiled and said "Congratulations", "Joining the two of you will not lose the joy."

Only then did he inform them of his name——Liang Rui.

"He Zhusheng."

"Ji Mo."

Hearing that the person who took the exam with him was named "He Zhusheng", Ji Mo took a look at him. He still remembered that Kuang Yuan preferred such a name in his early years, and he once wanted to name himself like this, but he did not expect such a fate. Met someone with this name.

He took another look, then He Zhusheng asked, and when he heard Ji Mo tell the reason, he couldn't help but smile: "Then we are really destined."

The three said a few words, and Liang Rui came forward to take them to resettle, "If there is a residence outside the mansion, you can go out to live when you are resting, but it is better to live in the mansion at ordinary times. If the prince needs it, You can be there whenever you call, so you won’t delay things.”

"Our musicians all live here, and the dancer is next door. Although they are neighbors, they must not be disturbed, especially not to have anything to do with the dancer. This is a taboo. In the palace, the rules are strict. , don’t be ambiguous, I don’t know why I took my own life carefully.”

When Liang Rui said this, his face was more serious, as if deliberately intimidating the two of them, and said: "You see, there are musicians in the mansion every year, but let me tell you, there are not many who really stay here. Those who didn’t stay, guess where they all went?”

He Zhusheng trembled in fright: "Don't dare, dare not, those dancers are all princes' people, how can I enjoy it?"

As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that he was actually a little floating and cautious just now.

It's as if there is a girls' school next to the boys' school. If you say you don't have any curiosity to look around, it's a lie.

Ji Mo thanked Liang Rui: "Thank you, Brother Liang, for speaking out, I am here to be a musician, and I don't know how to do unnecessary things."

Liang Rui was obviously more satisfied with Ji Mo's answer, and nodded slightly: "It's good to know, the prince is not a strict person, as long as he doesn't deliberately make mistakes to displease the prince, the reward is still very generous."

"How could someone make a mistake on purpose?"

He Zhusheng felt incredible.

"There are always people who think that the prince can't hear it, and they are being fooled, or they are the ones who want to make a big splash before they want to make a big splash."

These days, there are not too many people who want to fight for the top position, and the same is true for musicians. If they are valued or not, the treatment will be much different. Similarly, the opportunities will also be much worse.

"Is there any room for promotion?"

Ji Mo didn't quite understand this, so he asked directly.

"promotion space?"

Liang Rui was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized what this meant, and said, "If you are appreciated by the prince, maybe you can be sent to the court and become a court musician, or you can directly change the court?"

He wasn't very sure about what he said, obviously there were too few examples of such early ones.

"Change the court?"

He Zhusheng cared about this, his eyes lit up.

The profession of a musician sounds very good, but don’t forget that a musician is still a craftsman after all, so it’s not very honorable. It’s just that there are no white men who come to play, and it looks more wealthy. In fact, it’s still not comparable to those literati and scholars. .

Liang Rui chuckled and looked at him: "If you want it, it depends on whether you have the ability to be valued by the prince."

If it is important, then naturally anything is possible, otherwise, there is no need to think about anything.

Many rules in this world, in the eyes of the rich and powerful, are just things that can be manipulated by flipping hands. The boundaries that can be easily crossed are a step that many people cannot take in their entire lives.

He Zhusheng was not discouraged, and nodded. He naturally understood the reason and difficulty of this.

Ji Mo didn't say a word, and only said when asked: "I just want to be a musician, and being a musician is good."

His mission in this life is to be a musician. If he is not famous as a musician and cannot be said to be a professional, what is the point?

This kind of thinking is obviously unlikely to be recognized. Liang Rui thought that he was unwilling to talk, so he frowned slightly, and he was unwilling to talk to him later.

He Zhusheng also felt somewhat repulsive. When ordinary people meet a person who wants to be a saint, the first time he encounters a person who wants to be a saint, he probably doesn't bow down under the halo of a saint and feel admiration for him. Shen, I don't know how to plan, I am not someone who can be friends.

The morality of the ancients may not be the same as what they do, but if they are too high-profile, they will either be high-profile, or set themselves up to be different from others.

In this world, Ji Mo seldom contacts with people, and he is used to talking loudly with Kuang Yuan, so he didn't expect the principle of being with the light and the same dust. A sentence that seems very common to him directly divides himself into a group and isolates him.
