Chapter 73 Guzheng Everyone
Yun Zuo settled his own affairs and saw that Fu Xuechen was enjoying watching the rehearsal program. He swept away his previous low mood. He was amused and did not rush. He patiently watched several rehearsal performances with her patiently.
At this time, the dancer in the field retired and was replaced by a woman who was nearly thirty years old.
The woman is older and not gorgeous in appearance. She just has an elegant temperament, like a white begonia after the rain. There seems to be a little sadness in the coldness.
Fu Xuechen initially thought that this was also a dancer, but soon, a guzheng was carried over and placed in front of the woman. The woman also gently sat down behind the guzheng and touched the strings with her narrow-sleeved hands.
"Female musician?!" Fu Xuechen opened his eyes wide.
"There are not only male musicians in the palace, but the number of female musicians is much smaller." Yoong Zuo explained while looking at Si Le Fang Zhixin who was accompanying him.
Fang Zhixin understood and quickly added the introduction: "Now on the stage is the female guzheng master Yan Ruhua and Yan Jia. Yan Jia's zither ranks among the top three among all guzheng masters."
On the field, the female guzheng master Yan Ruhua moved her slender hands, and the tinkling music came like water. Unlike the previous very festive performances, her guzheng music was not lively, but rather calming.
The soothing melodiousness can make people follow the sound of the piano and listen quietly, as if being taken into the mountains and forests, listening to the birds singing, feeling relaxed and happy.
It sounds great! Fu Xuechen was stunned, his face full of yearning.
Not to mention anything else, just listening to this piece makes this trip to Jiaofangsi worth it! Being able to listen to a top ancient music master's performance live for free will be seen by future generations. Isn't it a huge profit!
After the song ended, Master Yan Ruhua slowly took back his jade hand, stood up and left.
"Okay!" Even Yoongzuo was impressed by her skills and couldn't help but applaud several times.
Fang Zhixin said with a smile on his face: "It is the honor of the Yan family to be praised by His Highness the Sixth Prince! In fact, there were some disputes within our Jiaofang Department before. Some people felt that the Yan family's song "Phoenix Passing Over the Forest" was not festive enough and not very popular.
It is suitable to be used in the Holy Shou Festival. In the end, it was Shangguan and I who rejected all opinions and left this song."
"Oh? There is such an inside story." Yoong Zuo nodded approvingly to Fang Zhixin: "You have arranged it very carefully, all with festive tunes. If you listen to it for a long time, you will inevitably become irritated. Sometimes there are songs like this as a
Adjustment, combining movement and stillness can complement each other, which is quite good!"
"Your Highness is a confidant, and he hit the nail on the head!" The smile on Fang Zhixin's face became even brighter.
Yoong Zuo smiled and didn't take the other person's compliments seriously. The world is like this. The lower the people are, the more important they are to his status as a prince. It's okay if they don't have contact. If they have the chance to come into contact, they always want to please him.
Those who can be neither humble nor arrogant to win his joy are rare.
But the reading companion next to him was an anomaly. He always felt that his identity was often ignored by the other person, as if he was just his classmate.
When others call him His Highness, they are always subconsciously full of awe and flattery for his status. The ease with which Fu Xuechen calls him His Highness is as if he is calling him by his nickname. Even if it is respectful, it is minimal.
But it was this kind of person who made him feel very comfortable. The prince had no friends, only his elders, servants, and nominal brothers and sisters. Fu Xuechen made him truly feel what a friend was, the kind of friend who could always be with him.
Even if you ignore him, you can still help him at any time, sharing your joys and sorrows, without any difference in status, friends.
Only with such a friend, Yoongzuo would accompany him to watch long rehearsals and performances in order to make the other person happy.
Fu Xuechen didn't realize that Yong Zuo was accompanying her, and thought that Yong Zuo liked watching those people's performances as much as she did. Until she returned after being exhausted, she was still chattering with Yong Zuo about which shows were particularly exciting.
This feeling of excitement, as if watching a variety show live, lasted until I informed Fu Yuchen in the evening.
"...One of them is the guzheng master Yan Jiajia. She is a female musician, and she is amazing! Listening to her performance makes me drunk, and when the song is over, I can't bear to wake up." Fu Xuechen described in amazement.
"I have heard of her. She is very famous in Beijing. Ordinary people want to listen to her music. If you don't have a thousand taels of silver to back it up, don't even think about it!" Fu Yuchen echoed, but the focus of attention was not on this Yan family, but on the Yan family.
The sixth prince said strangely: "Sixth prince, he actually took you to a place like Jiaofangsi!"
Fu Xuechen had already thought of his excuse: "He went to Jiaofangsi to let the musicians cooperate with him in singing birthday songs to the Queen Mother as accompaniment on the Holy Birthday Festival. He had serious business and was not there just for fun. As his
Companion, he doesn’t know that I’m a woman, so it’s natural for him to take me with him!”
Fu Yuchen nodded: "Very good! Let you take the opportunity to broaden your horizons."
His tone was flat, but Fu Xuechen managed to hear a bit of sarcasm. He suddenly got a little angry and said angrily: "This world is so unfair! With such a beautiful dance and such a beautiful song, why are there only you men?"
You can go see it at any time, but we women can’t go see it?!”
Fu Yuchen looked at her and laughed: "I didn't expect that you also like to listen to music and watch dances. In fact, it's not that you can't watch it if you want to. In fact, there are many women pretending to be men and going out with their brothers to wait for me.
In the future, when my legs are healed, I can also find an opportunity to take you to play."
"Really!" Fu Xuechen was overjoyed, and then reacted: "Have you been to that kind of place?!"
Fu Yuchen touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed: "Don't shout so loudly. What's the matter with me going there? Among those who have a little money in Guozixue, who hasn't gone there together to broaden their horizons?"
Fu Xuechen looked full of hatred: "Aren't you a playboy?!"
"Nonsense!" Fu Yuchen refused: "As long as you are a man, who has not been there if you have the conditions? Going there does not prove that a person is a playboy. He is a Jiaofangsi, not a low-class Goulan. Going to listen to music is elegant.
What's the matter with a trickster...that's dandy and obscene."
Fu Xuechen looked him up and down, then hummed softly: "I forgive you and you don't dare to mess around."
Fu Yuchen couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't I dare? I don't want to!"
Fu Xuechen didn't argue with him anymore. After two lifetimes, do you think she is just a simple little girl who doesn't understand anything? Fu Yuchen, a little kid under thirteen years old, hasn't developed enough to do anything.
Fu Yuchen said again: "I see that you particularly like the guzheng?"
"I really like it!" Fu Xuechen nodded vigorously.
Fu Yuchen then smiled and said: "Then after we change our identities, if you feel bored in the back house, you can actually tell your mother that you want to learn guzheng. Maybe mother can invite everyone from Yan to be your guzheng teacher."
That's right! Fu Xuechen suddenly turned the corner.
Girls in this era don’t have schools to go to, which means that for girls from wealthy families, there is a holiday all year round, and they can go to interest classes every day. As long as the elders in the family think it is okay, they can learn whatever they want.
You can learn whatever you want. Although you can't go out casually, you can have the professor's husband come to your door for service.
