Chapter 177 blowing off the stage
The archway is one of the characteristic architectural cultures of China. It is a building erected to commend meritorious service, discipline, virtue, and loyalty, filial piety, and justice. There are also some palaces and temples that use archways as mountain gates, and some are used to mark place names. It is also called
Make a memorial arch.
This is the case with the Chuitai Archway located in the southeast corner of Kaifeng Prefecture. This is a wooden archway with four eaves and three floors. It hangs from the top of the mountain and is covered with green tiles. There are five arches under the eaves and the lintel in the middle is engraved with "?"
Two big characters: "Blowing Platform".
Li Sanjian stood in front of the Chuitai Archway, holding Cai Rongxue's little hand, looking at the word "Chui Tai" and asked with a smile: "Chui Tai? What are you blowing? Are you bragging?"
"You're the one bragging." Cai Rongxue glared at Li Sanjian and said, "Of course it's the flute, what else can you play?"
After speaking, Cai Rongxue moved slightly, trying to pull her hand away from Li Sanjian's, but Li Sanjian held it tightly and did not let go at all.
We had already seen people in front of us, but Li Sanjian still went his own way, still shamelessly holding Cai Rongxue's little hand regardless of other people's eyes, causing Cai Rongxue to give Li Sanjian a hard look.
Cai Rongxue felt that her palms were sweating, but she felt that Li Sanjian's big hands were unusually warm, as if even the mountain was "sorrowful" at that time.
"Hold on to me and follow me."
What Li Sanjian said at that time still echoes in Cai Rongxue’s ears to this day.
Li Sanjian's firmness and calmness at that time were like the magic needle that calms the sea, which made Cai Rongxue, who was extremely panicked at the time, feel extremely relieved. It felt like a ship that had just experienced a storm and was riddled with holes sailed into a quiet bay.
Cai Rongxue has been deeply involved in it since then and cannot extricate herself.
From that day on, Cai Rongxue wanted to hold Li Sanjian's hand as she does now, until the end of time, until the end of time, and forever.
"Playing the flute?" Li Sanjian glanced at Cai Rongxue's bright red lips and asked with a smile, "Who is playing the flute? Is he here?"
At Li Sanjian's strong request, Cai Rongxue took off her veil and faced the world with her astonishing face.
At this time, Li Sanjian's smile was extremely obscene, which made Cai Rongxue extremely confused.
Cai Rongxue pointed to the platform on the hill and said: "It's just above. It is said that Shi Kuang often played here during the Spring and Autumn Period. Hey, what are you laughing at?"
Not only did Li Sanjian smile extremely obscenely, but he also stared at Cai Rongxue's lips, making Cai Rongxue extremely shy.
Humph, I guess he must have some bad ideas, Cai Rongxue thought to herself.
Thinking of this, Cai Rongxue couldn't help but stick out her little tongue and lick her lips. This situation tempted Li Sanjian to the point where he almost lost control...
"Nothing." Li Sanjian calmed down and asked, "Who is Shi Kuang?"
"He was a Taoist musician in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is said that he was born without eyes, so he called himself blind minister or Mingchen. He was a doctor of Jin, also known as Jinye. He was erudite and talented, especially good at music. He was good at playing the piano and had a strong ability to distinguish music. So'
Shi Kuang's intelligence will be known to later generations." Cai Rongxue has lived in Kaifeng for a long time and has been familiar with scriptures since childhood. Of course, she knows much more than Li Sanjian. At this time, she has become Li Sanjian's "tour guide"...
"As for why he was blind, there are three legends." Cai Rongxue continued: "One is that he was born blind; the other is that he felt that what he saw with his eyes made him unable to concentrate on what he was doing.
one thing, all
He used mugwort to smoke out his eyes to purify his mind. The third theory is that he loved music since childhood and was extremely intelligent.
He blinded his eyes and practiced hard, and finally he became better than his master, and his piano skills gradually surpassed his teacher. After Shi Kuang became blind, his situation was extremely pitiful. Others were sarcastic and insulting, but Shi Kuang didn't do anything.
He was so moved that he became a world-famous music master."
"That's what he deserves." Li Sanjian heard the words and said with a smile: "The body, hair and skin are given to parents and dare not be damaged. This is the beginning of filial piety. Master of music? A person doesn't even cherish his own body, and he can't even use the word filial piety.
, How can such a person stand in the world? How can he become a master of music? If it were me, I would have been ashamed of myself."
"You..." Cai Rongxue gently pushed Li Sanjian and said, "Who said he must be like this? The slave family thought he must have been born blind."
"That's pretty much it." Li Sanjian nodded and said, "But what's the benefit of being blind? I don't want to be a blind man."
Weren't you just like a blind man before? Cai Rongxue thought to herself.
"What happened to the blindness?" Cai Rongxue argued forcefully: "Empress Dowager Dou of the Han Dynasty was deaf in both eyes, but she assisted Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing in achieving the 'Government of Wen and Jing' and the subsequent prosperity of the Han Dynasty."
"Haha." Li Sanjian laughed when he heard this: "That's because she is a queen, and her status as queen mother gives her the opportunity to assist the Holy Emperor. What does it have to do with whether she is blind or not?"
Li Sanjian then looked at Cai Rongxue and said with a smile: "The reason why I say it is not good to be blind is because beauty is in front of you, but you have no eyes to see. Isn't it a great regret in life?"
"You..." Cai Rongxue blushed and pushed Li Sanjian.
"Xue'er" Li Sanjian pulled Cai Rongxue closer and said, "How about we imitate the ancients here today?"
"Yes." Cai Rongxue nodded and said, "But can you play?"
"I can't." Li Sanjian shook his head and said, "You can?"
"How could the slave family know that?" Cai Rongxue also shook her head.
"Then play a song here?" Li Sanjian said after hearing this.
"Well, the slave family is willing to follow your will." Cai Rongxue said in a low voice.
Cai Rongxue has heard Li Sanjian play the guqin twice. Although his skill is ordinary, the meaning of the sound is vividly conveyed by his playing.
However, these two performances were all related to Li Qingzhao. At this time, Li Sanjian wanted to play the piano again, which made Cai Rongxue a little reluctant, but she also didn't want to persuade or dampen Li Sanjian's enthusiasm.
"In that case, let's go up." Li Sanjian nodded and took off the guqin from the saddle, carried it on his back, and held Cai Rongxue's little hand and walked towards the high platform.
"Taoist Master, how about we borrow the treasure land and use it later? This is...this..." Li Sanjian walked up to the old Taoist and bowed his hands in salute, then touched his arms to take out some money and give it to the Taoist temple as incense.
money.
But when Li Sanjian went out, he didn't bring a few coins with him, and Li Sanjian didn't have any extra money for him to travel around. So Li Sanjian put his hand into his pocket, but couldn't take it out for a long time. He looked at the old Taoist in front of him awkwardly and put the
The veteran who was waiting for Li Sanjian's next sentence was confused.
It seems that he is also a poor guy. Then the old man secretly laughed in his heart. If you don't have money, what kind of beauty can you do?
How could Cai Rongxue not see Li Sanjian's embarrassment at this time? So she took the money from her purse
He took out a silver corner and secretly stuffed it into Li Sanjian's hand from behind.
Li Sanjian glanced at Cai Rongxue gratefully, and then handed the silver horn to Lao Dao.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, the donor can just use it!" The old Taoist agreed readily for the sake of the incense money.
It is said that a handsome man and a beautiful woman make love to a concubine on the flute platform, and maybe they can even dance together once, which also brings a different kind of ripples to the old man's calm life like a pool of stagnant water.
"Xue'er, thank you." Li Sanjian and Cai Rongxue then walked towards the blowing platform,
This is the difference between Li Qingzhao and Cai Rongxue. If Li Qingzhao were here, he would probably hand the money to the old man himself and not care about Li Sanjian's feelings, but Cai Rongxue always cares about Li Sanjian's feelings and thinks about Li Sanjian all the time.
, which made Li Sanjian deeply moved.
With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for? It's funny that Li Sanjian almost lost her in the past, but now she has gained nothing...
The so-called good is what you get. This is probably Li Sanjian's current thinking.
The blowing platform is a small platform. There are some stone fences around the platform. There is a thick layer of white snow on the mottled stone fence. The snow in the middle of the platform has been cleaned cleanly. There is a stone fence placed on it.
Table and three stone benches.
Beyond the platform is the endless wilderness. Above the wilderness is white snow, covered in silver, and the snow scene is particularly enchanting.
Li Sanjian and Cai Rongxue walked to the stone table and had just set up the guqin. Cai Rongxue suddenly said: "I... I want to hear you play... "Phoenix Phoenix"..."
Hearing this, Li Sanjian turned his head and looked at Cai Rongxue, trying to understand what Cai Rongxue meant? What on earth was he thinking?
When Li Sanjian returned to Guizhou from Lingnan, Li Qingzhao was already married to another man. Li Sanjian was so angry that he played the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" in front of Zhao's house to vent his dissatisfaction, anger, shame, regret, etc.
Waiting for complicated emotions.
At this time, Cai Rongxue suddenly mentioned the matter again, which made Li Sanjian really confused as to what Cai Rongxue was thinking.
"What are you thinking about? Are you speaking for...for her?" Li Sanjian asked calmly after thinking for a while.
"Well," Cai Rongxue glanced at Li Sanjian timidly and said, "Sister Qing, she is actually...actually very helpless. Although the Nu family doesn't know the details, they also know that she must have something to hide."
"What's the unspeakable secret?" Li Sanjian said bitterly after hearing this: "It's just a difference in family status, the distinction between high and low. What else is there that is unspeakable?"
Li Sanjian was secretly angry. Although the matter between Li Sanjian and Li Qingzhao was over, how could it be so easy to forget someone?
Although Li Sanjian and Cai Rongxue looked extremely chic and comfortable together, Li Sanjian could not forget Li Qingzhao all the time, and sometimes Li Sanjian himself did not even notice.
Just like Li Sanjian compared Li Qingzhao with Cai Rongxue just now, it shows that Li Sanjian has not completely forgotten Li Qingzhao in his heart.
"Hey, Sanlang, don't be angry, there is something you may not know." Cai Rongxue felt extremely unbearable when she saw this, and said softly.
"What's the matter?" Li Sanjian asked.
"Sister Qing's surname is Li, and your surname is also Li." Cai Rongxue replied after hearing this.
