In order to take revenge on the girl for inviting her to drink last night and for including her in her lyrics, Taoqin decided to go shopping in the afternoon and "sell" both of her lyrics!
She first followed the street to find several hotels, and finally selected a little girl holding a pipa. She was singing to a table of drinking guests, and her singing skills were pretty good.
Those customers seemed to be rich, so I guess the little girl was knowledgeable and rich.
Tao Qin waited patiently for her to finish singing two songs. The guests rewarded her with more than ten coins before approaching her.
"new word?"
The little girl playing the pipa glanced at the envoy and realized that she came from a wealthy family, so she replied:
"If it's a good poem, I'm willing to give you thirty essays. If it's an ordinary masterpiece, I can only give you three to five essays."
Thirty articles!
Tao Qin was secretly happy. It was indeed Bianjing, and the lyrics sold there were more expensive than those in Mingshui.
But with a calm expression on his face, he asked:
"What if it's a famous piece that has been sung throughout the ages?"
"Sung through the ages?"
The little girl playing the pipa laughed, "If it's a famous piece, if I sing it today, it will spread throughout Bianjing tomorrow. If you come to me again then, I'll pay you three taels of silver!"
She has been singing for people in various pubs for several years, and has received many new lyrics, but most of them only sing once, and the guests wave their hands to her to change the lyrics.
I won’t listen to it again and again.
"Three liang!"
Taoqin exclaimed and asked: "What if the news spreads throughout Bianjing within ten days? How much should I give?"
"Aren't you from Bianjing?" she asked.
"……no."
"I'll just say it. Bianjing is a big city and it's not easy to live there."
The little girl fiddled with the strings of the pipa, shaking her head and saying: "How many literati and poets are there? In the past, there was Liu Sanbian who was ordered to write lyrics, and now there is Su Zizhan, a singer with water tunes. Where did your junior officials come from, and why did they write lyrics? What words dare you say "Ten Days to Bianjing"?"
Liu Sanbian was Liu Yong, Su Zizhan was Su Dongpo, and Shui Tiao Ge Tou was even more famous.
Tao Qin felt guilty for a moment, but still said stubbornly: "Just give me as much as you say!"
"Give me one or two."
The little girl said perfunctorily.
If she could really spread the word to Bianjing in ten days, she could make a lot of money just by teaching lyrics to those Lefang girls.
Why ask her to teach?
Because she was the first to sing, it was authentic.
"Then just one or two, agreed!"
Seeing her generosity, Taoqin also said straightforwardly: "Listen carefully, the first poem my girl wrote was "Ru Meng Ling", which said: "I often remember the sunset in the Xiting Pavilion..."
She read it in one breath.
The little girl holding the pipa was stunned, "It's a bit fun to indulge in the boat ride into the lotus root flower, fight for the crossing, fight for the crossing..."
As she said this, she took the pipa and started playing Ru Meng Ling, singing it with a clear voice, and all the guests in the wine shop watched.
After singing, she said happily: "The rhyme is also a good rhyme, I want it!"
He took out forty or fifty coins and stuffed them into Tao Qin's hands, and then warned: "You are not allowed to sell to anyone else within five days."
"I know the rules!"
Taoqin happily accepted the money and immediately said, "My girl composed another song "Like a Dream" this morning."
"Or Ru Meng Ling?"
"This song is better than the last one, green, fat, red and thin! I feel good after listening to it."
"Green fat... red thin?"
"Listen: last night the rain was light and the wind was strong, and the remaining wine was not washed away by a deep sleep."
"..."
"good words!!"
Before the little girl playing the pipa could speak, a guest in brocade clothes who happened to be passing by outside praised loudly:
"She is green, fat, red and thin, and surprisingly beautiful. It is really the words written by the girl's family... This little lady, is your girl...?"
Everyone in the wine shop looked over one after another, and some people who didn't hear clearly quickly asked others what the word was just now.
"Written by a girl? A female lyricist?!"
The little girl playing the pipa was full of surprise.
Tao Qin did not answer, but smiled reservedly: "How much is this song worth?"
The little girl looked around, gritted her teeth, took out a small piece of broken silver, worth two or three hundred coins, and handed it to her.
Taoqin was even more happy and read it to her again. After confirming that she remembered it, she said goodbye proudly:
"My girl has not yet left the imperial court, and has never had a title. She lives in the south lane of Dongjie Street in the northwest of the city, in the family of Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites. My surname is Li."
"Mr. Li's wife? I understand."
The little girl made a note of the female lyricist who wrote two songs like a dream. Just when she was about to adjust it and try out the rhymes, a customer called her to sing.
And asked her by name to sing the two songs "Ru Meng Ling" just now.
The little girl was uneasy, but she could only follow the guest's wishes and began to play and sing the two Ru Meng Ling she had just obtained.
As she sang, the restaurant was completely silent.
After she finished singing, she looked up and saw that everyone was quiet.
A long while.
"Good rhyme, good words, good mood!"
The guests praised repeatedly, "Such a good word deserves a reward!"
A small piece of broken silver was taken out, placed on the table and pushed towards her.
The little girl who played the pipa was grateful and sang it again for the guests at the table.
Just after she finished singing, the person next to her asked her to go again, and she was also rewarded.
She sang these two lyrics repeatedly until the evening, and the restaurant was buzzing with people. The boss rewarded her with three hundred coins and asked her to rest for a while before singing again.
She resisted, but as soon as she left the restaurant, the lady from Taihe Building sent someone to invite her to a banquet.
By the time she came out of Taihe Building, the ladies in the building had already begun to play and sing like a dream, and the guests were hugging the lady and cheering...
…
Taoqin returned home satisfied with the broken silver and forty-three coins.
The next afternoon I deliberately took time out to go out and wanted to listen to various restaurants. As soon as I arrived at the second restaurant, I heard a singer singing "Strive for Ferry". Then I went to the next restaurant and heard someone singing "Know or Not" again.
She just felt something was wrong.
The situation is not right!
When she went out on the third day, restaurants all over the city were singing "Green Fat, Red and Thin", which frightened her so much that she hurried home.
It is said that Bianjing is a big city, but it is not easy to live there?
Is it easy for my girl to live with just one poem?
The fifth day.
Tao Qin went out cautiously to inquire about the news, and accidentally bumped into the little girl. The other party generously gave her ten taels of silver, and told her that next time the young lady of the Li family had a new word, she must give it to her first!
Taoqin raised her head and raised her chest: "My girl has composed a new song!"
…
…
Ming Dynasty, Yingtian Mansion.
When Zhu Yuanzhang woke up, he first called Li Jian, the eunuch of the inner palace, to come over and ordered him to collect four large bags of potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, onions and other seeds.
As usual, the fruit was given to the girl so that she could reward her again.
Then summon the Minister of Industry and the Minister of Industry.
After finishing a few things, Zhu Yuanzhang leaned back on his chair and looked through the "Cao Hai Tu Bian" and "Ji Xiao Xin Shu" he brought back from Chu Zhen.
He was originally not optimistic about the latter. After all, it was mostly about military training methods. Can the soldiers he brought out under Zhu Yuanzhang be inferior to those of later generations?
But after reading the first volume carefully, he felt his heart heavy and said to himself:
"That boy Chu Zhen really didn't lie to us."
What is written in the capital?
Two hundred years later, in the 35th year of the Jiajing Dynasty, the seaside guard station was still there, but the soldiers in the guard station only relied on the people's fat and oil, but it was ineffective at all.
"Those who provide for the army are also the people; those who kill the thieves are also the people; those who protect the people are also the people; those who protect the army are also the people. To reverse things like this is to lose the meaning of the ancestors' building teeth."
The Wei Institute was so corrupted that it is no wonder that the first volume of Qi Jiguang's new book Ji Xiao wrote "The most precious choice of soldiers".
The soldiers of the Jiajing Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty must be selected from among the people!
The first choice is the honest people from the countryside, but the cunning ones are of no use.
"The Ming Dynasty is so rotten!"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't stand it any longer, so he put aside the new book of Ji Xiao and picked up "Cao Hai Tu Bian".
After flipping through it roughly, I was attracted by one thing recorded in it.
"Fifty-three Japanese pirates invaded Nanjing?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and angry.
Nanjing is his Yingtian Mansion. Even if the fourth child moves the capital to Peking, the city of Yingtian Mansion will still be there.
Fifty-three Japanese pirates actually fought all the way from the sea to Yingtian Mansion! !
"What is this bastard Jiajing doing?! What kind of emperor does he want to be?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he wanted to burn down the Huagai Palace and the Forbidden City. He would clean up the matter and leave nothing to future generations.
Useless!
"Why is Father so angry?"
Zhu Biao just walked in.
