Su Chen and others arrived at the second entrance of the east wing courtyard, and were separated by a wall from the courtyard where Peng Qingqing lived. With Qingqing's light skills, she could fly around and meet at any time without having to walk through the door.

Jing Hong and his family were waiting in the yard. When they saw Su Chen coming back, Jing Hong and Jing Yun and his son came forward to meet each other.

"Young Master Su, you are finally back."

In addition to thanking Jing Hong and his son for saving their lives twice, Su Chen also intends to win over this family and do things for him in the future. So he is very polite and smiles: "Brother Jing, how did you rest here last night?"

Jing Hong said awkwardly: "It's all good, but there's nothing to do, and it's not suitable to stay."

This is the residence of the Jiangning Prefecture Prefecture. The court has three officials. The hierarchy is very strict. There are 100 people in total. There are no one playing around. They are all stable and rarely talking. They have strict family traditions and strict education.

When Jing Hong and his family lived in, they didn't dare to walk around casually. They stayed in the house for a whole day, but they were still a little bored and panicked.

Su Chen looked at the Jing family's father and son with his eyes, and felt more and more reliable. He could feel at ease in the future for himself. He smiled and said, "Let me live in Peng Mansion for the time being. This yard belongs to us. You choose two rooms on the first floor. We usually open the fire ourselves. Please ask Sister Jing to cook. Later, I will arrange some things for Brother Jing's family. Jing Yun is still a teenager. You can learn some reading and literacy and make plans for the future."

When Jing Hong heard this, he heard that there was something to do, and immediately became interested. In addition, Mr. Su was willing to find someone to teach his son to read and read. He was grateful and bowed: "I thank Mr. Su in this way. From now on, our family of three will follow Mr. Su to work hard."

Su Chen said with emotion: "You have saved me and were implicated because of this. Su Chen really feels sorry. In the future, I will be a member of my Su family and will not treat Brother Jing's family unfairly."

Jing Hong was kind-hearted and moved by Su Chen's sincere words. He clasped his fists with his hands without saying too much, but his eyes and expressions could be seen that this person values ​​loyalty and commitment.

Next, Su Chen invited Jiang Tao, Liu Dong and Xia Baosong on the square table in the yard and asked Peng Qingqing to order the servants to get tea sets for making tea. They drank tea in the yard and talked about some matters about the imperial examination.

The most curious thing about the three of them is why Su Chen is so powerful in writing lyrics. Their titles are all excellent works and popular, and their style is very different from previous lyrics, because Huajian Ci, Shu Di Ci, and Five Dynasties are mostly slow and Xiao Ling, but Su Chen's lyrics breaks out of this category.

Unlike poetry, the sentences of lyrics are long and short, which is convenient for singing. Because they are lyrics of music, they are also called lyrics, Yuefu, music, long and short sentences, etc.

Ci started in the Liang Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty, formed in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty. It can be roughly divided into small ordination (within 58 characters), middle ordination (within 5990 characters), and long ordination (within 91 characters, the longest word reaches 240 characters). If a poem has only one paragraph, it is called monotony; some are divided into two paragraphs, called double ordination; some are divided into three or four paragraphs, called three or four.

If distinguished by the nature of the music tune, the lyrics can be divided into nine types: Ling, Yin, Shou, Santai, Suzizi, Faqu, Daqu, Chanling, and the various palace tunes.

During the Tang Dynasty, a large number of musical music from Western Regions flowed in, and was called the "Hu Bu". "Jie Gu Lu" contains 131 songs, nearly half of which were foreign songs. Later, they were used as lyrics, such as "Wangyue Brahmin" was originally a Tianzhu music, and "Su Muzhe" was originally a Kucha music, etc.

However, the Huajian School is the mainstream, and it specifically describes love affair. Therefore, the status of the poem is not high and cannot be reached in the late Five Dynasties.

However, some of the words written by Su Chen are beyond the category of "love love" in the Huajian School and appear

The fresh and beautiful, gentle and unlucky side gives people a refreshing feeling, which has sparked heated discussions in the Shilin circle.

Su Chen explained to the three of them: "Huajian Ci is too rich and colorful, and most of the things I write are the joy of the boudoir or the style of children, which are too limited. Therefore, when I was studying long and short sentences, I was thinking about how to transcend the constraints of Huajian Ci, which can be written in a clear and elegant manner, and can be written in a heroic and heroic manner. So I formulated two types of directions, one is called the graceful school and the other is called the bold school!"

"Gentle and elegant school? Bold and unrestrained school?" The three of them were shocked, showing their thoughts and chewing on their words.

Su Chen patiently explained: "Yes, graceful, meaning to express emotions, try to be more tactful and implicit, and do not have to be as bright and explicit as Huajian Ci, and pay attention to a kind of artistic conception. Although the content also focuses on the style of children, the structure is deep and meticulous, and the music is harmonious, the language is round, fresh and beautiful, and it has a kind of gentle beauty, just like a lotus emerges from clear water."

"So that's it, I seem to understand." Jiang Tao and Xia Baosong nodded slightly.

"I understand... I understand!" Liu Dong nodded in agreement.

"What about the bold and unrestrained faction?"

Su Chen continued: "The bold and unrestrained school, as the name suggests, is to act with bold and unrestrained artistic conception, and the words are grand and majestic. The content is not limited to the personal relationship between children, but also to look at the world and the country, or to express the heroic spirit in your heart. For example, if the bold and unrestrained poems such as "The river goes east and waves wash away all the water of the Yellow River and comes from the sky" are used in lyrics, they are bold and unrestrained lyrics."

Jiang Tao asked, "Is the sentence in the poem "Speaking the Heart" written by Brother Su, "Is it a bold saying that I searched for a title for thousands of miles and guarded Liangzhou by horses?"?"

Su Chen replied: "Yes, that is a kind of bold and unrestrained poem. He lamented the experiences of life, the true nature of heroes, and the difficult reality together, which led to a tragic and gloomy artistic conception in the poem."

Xia Baosongshen agreed and kept nodding, "After saying this, I completely understand."

Jiang Tao said with a supporter: "Brother Su has such a forward-looking vision in his research on ci. If he writes a poem in the imperial examination and shines brightly, he will be more confident in the top scorer."

Su Chen sighed softly and smiled bitterly, "Writing lyrics only accounts for 30% to 40% of the score, while 60% to 70% of the scores are in the chapter. I don't write much in this regard, so I may not be able to get into the eyes of the examiner. So, to be honest, I have countless results in my heart."

"So that's how it is!" The three of them suddenly realized that Su Chen had always been modest and was worried about Zhang's part.

"I wonder what are the three of you who are good at poetry and chapters?"

Xia Baosong replied: "Xia is good at writing poetry, and she is still good at writing poems and poems. She has a very spiritual life in her lyrics."

"I... I am the same, similar to Brother Xia." Liu Dong stammered.

Only Jiang Tao smiled awkwardly and said, "My poems and chapters are average. I don't have much confidence in whether I can get to the top."

Su Chen thought of Jiang Tao's father Jiang Wei, who was famous for studying ancient poetry and classics, but he didn't write chapters, so he failed many times and ended up in a miserable end. Unexpectedly, his son Jiang Taocai was also ordinary.

"What else is Brother Jiang interested in besides the poetry examination? For example, doing business, water conservancy, navigation, etc."

Jiang Tao thought for a while and said, "I am quite interested in investigating things, and I am also a little excited about building ships and sailings, but these are ultimately cheap karma. I only read some similar books, such as the Water Classics, the Mountain and Sea Classics, and the Geography, etc., and I found it interesting, but as a scholar, I still have to focus on the imperial examinations and official careers."
