What kind of place is Chang'an? It goes without saying that the imperial city is under the feet of the emperor and has good security.
In fact, even if there are no guards, nothing will happen to the children when they go out to play. And with Xiao Yu's skills, even if they are really in trouble, more than a dozen people can't get close.
But still just in case.
Jin Yiwei did not dare to neglect at all. After Liang Yuan received the order, for him, this was a major event.
In the Beizhen Division, the most elite Jinyiwei personnel had already changed into entourage attire. Liang Yuan also dressed up in a smart outfit and was personally in charge, arranging related matters.
"Did you guys tell me where to go to play?"
"Sir, I said I was going to the Chang'an Gathering." A subordinate said respectfully.
"You go over immediately. As the young masters' followers, your identities must not be exposed."
"No!" A group of elites were prepared and accepted the order with clasped fists.
Liang Yuan added: "Find a way to replace all the servants in the gathering with our people."
"yes!"
This is covert protection. On the surface, there seem to be more officers and soldiers patrolling the city in Chang'an City today than usual, and they look more elite. However, this does not have any impact on the people. On the contrary, it makes the common people more sense of security.
In ancient times, literati and officials had a tradition of making friends through literature. Literati and elegant scholars would often organize gatherings together or carry out recreational activities related to literature and art, which were called elegant gatherings.
Every few years in Chang'an, in August or September, there will be an organization.
The gathering includes many events, including autumn mountain climbing, chrysanthemum appreciation, mountain tours, poetry gatherings, wine-making, calligraphy and painting, literary and art appreciation and discussion, etc.
The location is in Jingyuan, which is a semi-official place with pavilions, landscapes, and gardens. It is extremely large in scale.
Chang'an Yaji is the most famous place, and it is a place that literati all over the world yearn for. If it can become famous here, it is very likely to spread throughout the world.
Therefore, every time at this time, when all the virtuous people arrive, few people gather.
There have been many famous figures in the past, such as Fan Congyue, Wang Ning, Xie Jing, Sun Huizhi, etc., all of whom are big names in the literary world. Even in Zhangtai Pavilion, Dong Shu once presided over a literary meeting. This shows the gold content of this elegant gathering.
And this time, it was an unprecedented event.
Jingyuan.
When the six brothers and sisters arrived here, the surrounding area was already very lively, and what they saw and heard was very literary.
Xiao Yu said: "This elegant collection is mostly about reciting poems and composing poems, drinking wine from meandering water, and pouring wine from golden bottles. His father also made a sharp comment: The literati here are dedicated to pen and ink, and have no useful strategies for governing the country. They are just writing for youth. Fu, a poor man with a brilliant head and a thousand words written in his pen, but without any strategy, is a rotten Confucian."
Xiao Yu was raised as a prince, and his mind, vision, and ambitions were of course different. Then he added: "If you really want to write a fine sentence and write an article in the world, who can be better than Lord Shangguan? But Shangguan Wenruo has never been to the elegant gathering."
Xiao Chen, the sixth child, said happily: "According to what the second brother said, isn't your husband Yao Tingyu an even bigger corrupt scholar?"
"Mr. Yao, it is true that you are polite when you open your mouth, and you are a gentleman when you keep your mouth shut." Xiao Yu said with a smile, "But you still have to respect your teacher, otherwise my father will whip me again."
Xiao Qinghe covered her mouth and chuckled: "We brothers and sisters, it seems that the second brother has been beaten the most."
The brothers and sisters snickered, Xiao Yu coughed and changed the subject: "Sister, why are you here?"
Xiao Qingluo said: "Although the elegant collection is full of prose, it also has some classics. I heard that there are debates in it, but it has real strategies."
"That's true." Xiao Yu nodded: "Otherwise, my father would not be able to praise or criticize me."
"Where are you going, eldest sister?"
"My fifth sister and I are going to Lanting."
"Let's go to the mountain to visit the park." Xiao Qinghe pulled Xiao Chen and Xiao Lin.
"Doesn't that mean we have to separate?"
"Where's the second brother?"
Xiao Yu thought for a while: "I'll just go shopping anywhere."
After saying this, he warned: "Shen Shi is gathering here, don't overdo it."
"Yes." Xiao Qingluo nodded, and after greeting his younger brothers and sisters, he
Step out of here.
Half an hour later, Lanting.
The environment here is elegant, with pavilions, waterside pavilions, and flowers and plants. Many literati and young boys and girls have stopped here with expectant faces.
Different from other places in the gathering, there is no hustle and bustle of drinking, having fun, singing poems and singing, but it is extremely leisurely. Even some scholars are whispering to each other and dare not make any noise.
But judging from the scene, this is where the largest number of people gather.
Xiao Qingluo was dressed in white, her dress was simple and elegant, her hair was swayed with classical steps, and her face was covered with white gauze. She was followed by two maids and sat down behind a screen.
The two maids stood on the left and right sides of the screen, both wearing light-colored tops and green skirts. They held their hands in front of them, motionless.
Don't think that these are two ordinary maids. They are members of the Sword Sect and protect the royal princess. In terms of their skills, they are among the top masters in the entire world.
People were also seated behind other screens.
Not long after, an old man appeared in front of the table directly above and said: "Today's elegant gathering, Lanting specializes in music discussion. Regardless of the harp, the harp, the pipa, and any twelve rhythms, it will be played by Su Zai, Zhu Wuye, Le Pei, etc. Everyone comments on music and music. I am not talented. I accept the recommendation and seek justice for myself. If there is anything I don't like, you can speak out."
As soon as he finished speaking, almost everyone began to whisper: "Is this Yu Kuang? He is a world-famous great piano player. I heard that his song "Snow in the Pine Forest" is very artistic. Lanting invited him this time. It is not unfair for him to preside over it."
"Yes, there is also Su Zai and Zhu Wuye. These are also people who have reached the pinnacle of music. I heard that Su Zai was even invited to the palace by His Majesty."
Amid the discussion, the old man Yu Kuang raised his hands, and after the silence calmed down, he formally announced: "Everyone, please sit quietly and invite Miss Liu Yao."
After saying this, the crowd consciously fell silent, and the entire scene was stunned.
After a pause, the sound of plucking strings came from behind a screen.
The sound of the piano rises slowly, unhurriedly, like the breeze blowing through the willows, causing ripples on the lake surface, and the ripples follow the sound.
Such beautiful music, clear and delicate, makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Everyone closed their eyes, immersed in the melody of the piano, feeling relaxed and comfortable, and before they knew it, time passed quietly.
Behind the screen, the woman's green fingers were moving gently, and the last note fell, but there was still a lingering sound.
This girl named Liu Yao is very strong because she successfully played the desired artistic conception of the music. The feeling of cleansing breeze coming out of the sound of the piano shows that she has perfected her skills.
What is good music? It can arouse people's emotions.
This sound has already been done.
The literati in the venue were quiet for a while.
