Heiankyo love story

There was a moment of silence in the study.

Jiang Xue received strict instruction from Ouyang Xun when she was a teacher. Whether she was reading or copying books, she was very conscientious and dedicated. In this regard, he has suffered bad luck, and after a long time, he will learn to be like his master. He usually plays around and plays around, but when he comes to the study, he immediately corrects his mentality and never messes around with books.

Abe Seimei quietly flipped through the book without speaking.

There was no clock in the room, no clocks, and the only sound left was the rustling of papers being turned.

When Jiang Xue left last time, she had already finished copying more than half of a book. This time, she continued to copy down the previous progress, and she will be able to finish copying this book in a short time.

It must be said that there is neither movable type printing nor engraving printing. In this era when copying and borrowing are the main way of disseminating books, a book is usually not very thick. The length, width, and thickness of textbooks are far inferior, and classical Chinese texts can store more information than vernacular texts. Vernacular Chinese texts contain hundreds of words, while classical Chinese texts may only need a few tens or even a dozen words. It is not uncommon for a book to have only [-] to [-] characters, which is too much. Some classics are only a few thousand characters, such as the "Tao Te Ching", which has a total of [-] characters.

If it weren't for the small number of words in these books, when Jiang Xue heard Abe Seimei say that he would copy the dozen or so books that day, he would have found a way to renege on the debt, for example, only copy the damaged pages, and find a way to find a book repairer for the rest After dismantling the torn book and rebinding it, she couldn't copy many words in total. She also wanted to take the opportunity to meet the twelve generals, so she silently agreed to this condition.

Last line.

Jiang Xue finished copying this line, put down the brush, stretched her waist, and couldn't help but let out a sound like a small animal whimpering.

After a while, when the ink is dry, you can put the book aside and stand it.

She was just thinking about it, when she heard a chuckle behind her, she pursed her lips, turned around and squinted, and sure enough, she saw a certain old fox smiling.

"His Highness Xue Ji is so... leisurely, but it is a bit surprising."

Abe Seimei raised his eyebrows slightly, and deliberately paused for a moment before saying "leisure", which made people daydream.

Jiang Xue snorted with a smile, and said confidently: "Oh? Is there anyone here? I only saw an old fox!"

Abe Seimei was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't expect Jiang Xue to say that.

Although many people in Heian capital privately said that he was a fox, the only person who dared to say so in front of him was his grandson Changhao.

This is really...unexpected.

Abe Seimei bent the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't hold it back, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"His Highness Xue Ji said so, are you not afraid that the fox goblin will make you unable to go home?"

Jiang Xue looked at Abe Seimei's attitude of frankly saying that she was a "fox spirit", and she couldn't laugh or cry.

"...um...and then? More than one person in the Fujiwara family knows that I'm coming to Seimei-sama's house today. If I don't hear anything about it, I think my father, my two brothers...and my mother They will never turn a blind eye to this. Perhaps from now on, the Abe family will never have a peaceful day. Is it okay? Besides... Although I am not a person who is extravagant and desperate, if you want to support me, you must It costs a lot of gold and silver, otherwise, I alone can make this place never peaceful."

Abe Seimei made a posture of thinking on purpose, and after a while, he put on a posture of sudden realization, and said seriously: "Yes, yes, Your Highness Xue Ji is the beloved daughter of Daoist Master, if you offend the Fujiwara family, little The Abe’s family can’t afford to suffer. However, I’m really curious, how can His Royal Highness Xue Ji let my family never have peace?”

"Master Seimei...is this a provocation?"

Jiang Xue continued to play very cooperatively, raised her eyebrows, and suddenly showed a bit of arrogance that seldom appeared on her body. She hugged the huqin from the side of the bookshelf, flicked it casually, and led the bow with one hand, assuming that she was about to play Come.

"Seeing is believing, but hearing is believing. Please, Lord Qingming, please listen to me—what is my ability to make people never have peace?"

Abe Seimei smiled and held out his hand.

"Today, I'm lucky to hear the wonderful sound. I'm all ears. Please——!"

Jiang Xue wanted to deliberately make a shrill sound to shock the old fox in front of her, but she devoted herself more to music than to calligraphy. If she had other purposes in learning calligraphy, she didn't care about it at all when she was learning music. The other thing is just for the sake of the music itself, so that the talent in the way of music that her master praised was not let down.She put in so much effort into music, but how could she bear to deliberately make noise with the instrument, she just pulled out a string of notes that looked like joking laughter, and then replaced it with a tune she was familiar with.

As soon as the plum blossoms are played, the night moon in the mountains and rivers, the sound enters the rosy clouds.

"Plum Blossoms" was originally a flute song, and it is widely loved because of its beautiful melody and noble artistic conception. Among the musicians, there are many people who compare themselves to plum blossoms. How could they not try to change the flute music to the instrument they are good at?So Xiao Pu, Guqin Pu, Huqin Pu, and Zheng Pu were published one after another, and some musicians adapted the repertoire. By the time Jiang Xuebai went to Gaoshan Liushui Hall to study music, there were already more than ten different music scores of "Meihua Yin" in the world. Qin melody is the most famous, and the repetition of three plays brings a different kind of interest. Therefore, "Plum Blossoms" has an alias of "Plum Blossoms Three Lanes". Well, even huqin music is no exception.

The Three Friends of Pine, Bamboo, and Plum Suihan are often praised by literati and poets, and are also loved by musicians. Songzhi, Zhuqing, and Meiya have their own differences in the composition of music, and because musicians have different understandings, even the same piece will have different meanings. Manifestations.

At this time, Jiang Xue's interpretation of the Three Lanes of Plum Blossoms focuses on highlighting the elegance of the plum blossoms alone in the cold snow, while Ling Han and Aoshuang's coldness and perseverance are secondary.Musicians from the high mountains and flowing waters have always been good at touching people with their emotions, and moving the world with their emotions. Only when the musicians have feelings in their hearts can they compose music. Therefore, among the four major music halls, the high mountains and flowing waters are the most "true". What is conveyed in the book, it is difficult to make music with love without love, and it is difficult to make music with love without love.

When literati write poems, they use objects to describe people, and when musicians play music, they also borrow objects for comparison.

Jiang Xue has hundreds if not thousands of repertoires. It is not a coincidence that she specially chose "Three Plum Blossoms" to play, but she deliberately replaced wine with music to reward her friends.No matter what she said, in her heart, she regarded Abe Seimei as a friend who had forgotten her years.Since Abe Seimei is willing to give her a copy of his unique knowledge "Accounting for Things" for her to read, she will naturally return the gift with her own unique knowledge, this is the way to get along.

What else is the first musician's unique skill except music?

Abe Seimei had heard her piece, but it wasn't played for him, so of course it couldn't be counted.Even if Abe Seimei didn't tell her that she would bring the huqin, she still planned to bring the erhu to play a piece for Abe Seimei one day.Today coincided with its meeting, so I made three plum blossoms.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Xue was so impressed by seeing Abe Seimei under the plum tree in Fujiwara's house. When she wanted to play a song for Abe Seimei, what she intuitively thought of was "Three Lanes of Plum Blossoms".In Jiang Xue's heart, Seimei Abe fits perfectly with "plum", as elegant as plum, as noble as plum, and as lonely as plum.Perhaps it is because the years make people more tolerant and gentle, Abe Seimei can hardly feel the shadow of "aloneness", but Jiang Xue thinks so-this person must have been lonely when he was young.

Elegant, quiet, and noble, I think Abe Seimei must have been graceful and graceful when he was young, and he was like a god, and the door was full of bullock carts.

It's a pity that I didn't get to see Abe Seimei's youthful posture.

Jiang Xue felt a little regretful in her heart, and this regret could not be concealed from the music, adding a touch of melancholy to the originally quiet tune, as if she felt sorry for the plum blossoms.

Abe Seimei originally half-closed his eyes and concentrated on enjoying the music, but when he heard this, he suddenly raised his eyes to look at Jiang Xue, with a surprised look in his eyes.

On the contrary, Jiang Xue didn't notice the difference. When the ray of regret passed, she returned to the original mood of the tune again, praising plum blossoms, just like praising a friend, and she had no doubt whether Abe Seimei could hear the music The meaning in it--if someone who can understand "A Pillow of Yellow Liang" cannot understand "Three Lanes of Plum Blossoms", then it is considered that she is playing the piano to a cow.

Well, it should be said that it is playing the piano to the fox.

Second, through the clouds, the sound enters the clouds.

The melodious and melodious sound of the piano reciprocates, depicts the beauty of plum blossoms with musical notes, and praises the qualities that human beings bestow on plum blossoms, just like praising one's own friends.

Ever since Jiang Xue switched careers and devoted herself to the test of love games, she has fully grasped the power of "praising others". The inner cage, brave and straightforward to convey her feelings to others with words and actions, just as she praised Fujiwara Takamichi as an upright and gentle person, and as she straightforwardly pointed out that there is no heart in Tachibana Yuya's music, now this music It's the same - those feelings that can't be expressed in words are all poured into these notes and every turn, and conveyed to the person she wants to tell in an absolutely beautiful and moving way that is also elegant and euphemistic.

This body in the ice and snow forest is different from peaches and plums mixed with fragrant dust.All of a sudden, the fragrance was released overnight, and it scattered into the universe and thousands of miles of spring.

This is Yongmei.

The northern branch of the valley is even more northern, and the flowers bloom late every year.Do you know Gaobiao Yiyun?

This is also Yongmei.

What to see from plum blossoms, what to taste, and what to entrust are different from person to person. What is important is the heart of the singer who borrows things to sing about people and borrows scenery. What kind of scenery can be described in the heart? , What is the deep-seated emotion in the heart, it will be completely excavated by the music.

A musician cannot deceive his own heart, nor can he lie in his music.

She loves plum blossoms so much...

Jiang Xue played the last verse of Three Plum Blossoms, stopped suddenly, and smiled slyly at Seimei Abe.

"That's it. I don't want to finish playing, Lord Seimei. Do you know what is never peaceful?"

If a poet sees a masterpiece that is only one sentence away from completion, he will scratch his head and scratch his head anxiously, wishing he could catch up with him. If a painter sees a painting that is only flawed, how can he not let people scratch his head? Tickle your heart?

In the same way, let a person who can understand music hear an unfinished piece of music, how will he feel in his heart?

Abe Seimei was completely immersed in the music, but the music stopped abruptly, which was contrary to common sense. He opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Xue in doubt, but when he heard such a sentence, he couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

"...That's right, Her Majesty Xue Ji's ability...it's true...I'm afraid that I can't sleep well, and I'm obsessed with the unfinished music."

Jiang Xue smiled triumphantly.

"If that's the case, out of friendship, I can kindly play a song for Master Seimei's sleep."

Abe Seimei immediately laughed.

"I'm afraid even the lullaby is only half!"

Jiang Xue rolled her eyes, her pupils were full of wisdom, and said with a smile: "If Master Qingming wants to finish listening to this piece of music, then wait for my next visit."

When Abe Seimei heard Jiang Xue bring up the topic of "the fox fairy won't let her go home", he couldn't help laughing, took out the flute, put it to his lips, and blew a string of notes.

When the tune came together, Jiang Xue froze.

This is obviously the tune of the Plum Blossom Citation she just played.

...The music scores of the huqin and the flute are different. It is not possible to copy them according to the pitch. Even if there are repeated parts in the three songs of plum blossoms, they can be converted into flute scores after only listening to them once. What is this like? talent?

... This person, he really is a fox who has become a spirit!
