Jiaofang in the Song Dynasty actually inherited the Tang system. However, compared with the Tang Dynasty, due to the "collapse of rituals and music" in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, many tile markets and even Goulan appeared among the people, and "folk music" began to appear. This made Jiaofang This kind of government-run music education department has been greatly affected.
Of course, most Lehu still have to rely on the Jiaofang to make a living, and those like the Song sisters who lost their father when they were young and grew up in the Jiaofang are even more dependent on the Jiaofang.
Li Yong brought Xin Yan and others to the Jiaofang Division, and directly called people to come over. Not long after, a beautiful girl about fourteen or fifteen years old, without makeup, came into the room.
When I first came in, I saw two black men standing like iron towers behind the door. I was shocked and almost dropped the pipa in my hands to the ground.
It was Li Yong who asked them to get out of the way and saw the "normal people" inside. Then she came to her senses, calmed down and continued walking inside.
Interestingly, these two people are twin brothers. The elder brother is named Gis and the younger brother is named Tusi. They were originally slaves transported from Arabia. They were bought back by Li Yong as his followers and started practicing martial arts with him.
Although Li Yong alone is no match for him, the two of them working together, coupled with their size and natural strength, would defeat even Li Yong.
Of course, Li Yong has never played against them again. He feels that he can win, but it will definitely not be easy.
When the girl came closer, Li Yong stood up, held up his hands and said with a smile: "Young lady, you are being polite. My surname is Li, and my first name is your name. You can just call me by your name."
Although he has been practicing martial arts, he is now dressed in rich clothes and with a crown on his head, and he can look like a handsome young man, which at least calms down the girl's mind.
"Your name is Young Master..." The girl was startled for a moment, and quickly returned the salute, because it was inconvenient to do anything with the pipa in her hand. She just bowed slightly, and then asked: "I wonder what the Lord is calling your servant for?" ?”
I thought that the other party was just here to listen to music, but now it seems that this may not be the case.
"Actually, Xiao Ke didn't come here specifically for the young lady. I just asked the steward of the workshop. She knew that the young lady is the top pipa master in the workshop, so I wanted to ask the young lady to play a piece for me."
"Oh?" The girl's eyes slightly opened in surprise, with curiosity and a hint of expectation in her eyes.
During the "golden years", Li Yong learned music theory and had a certain foundation. When he knew he would come here, he deliberately brought some ancient music scores he found online.
Although it is far from being called everyone, it is enough to find some common language with these music households.
The girl was obviously very interested in the repertoire Li Yong mentioned. After all, she first practiced Pipa out of interest and asked her mother to teach her, but later it gradually became a skill for survival.
When she heard Li Yong mentioning that he composed the track himself, the girl who sat down on the round chair flashed her eyes. Although she didn't believe it in her heart, she still watched it because of the feeling Li Yong gave her. Its changes.
"Xinyan?"
Li Yong turned around and said hello. Xin Yan was very discerning and immediately stepped forward to help hold the pipa.
The girl handed it over, with some doubts in her eyes. Xin Yan just smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not holding it lightly." Before she could say the word "light", she almost dropped the pipa and the person to the ground. It was so easy. Only then did he stabilize, but he could also see that it was a bit difficult.
Li Yong glared at him and sneered: "You don't listen to the instructions on how to work hard on weekdays. You can't even compare to this girl's house. I'm going to punish you by standing like this for half a minute... that's all, just a quarter of an hour."
Xin Yan's face turned red, thinking that he was originally a book boy, but later served tea and water in front of the horse and served people in the back. He had done menial work many times, and it was not normal to have no strength.
However, the weight of this pipa was a bit unexpected. Looking at the girl opposite, I was secretly surprised when I thought that she had just carried this pipa for such a long way and stood there for so long.
At this time, the girl had already received a piece of music prepared by Li Yong in advance, but it was a new pipa piece composed in the future, "Ambush from Flying Daggers".
Seeing her immediate joy, Li Yong also smiled and then asked: "I wonder if Miss can play this song?"
"This..." He saw that she hesitated for a moment before replying: "It may take a while, sir, can you leave this music score here?"
As he said this, he felt a little embarrassed and worried that he was thinking wrongly.
In fact, with her skills at this time, she is already able to play according to the score. In other words, in addition to worrying that she will not be able to play well at the beginning and let the other party down, she also has a little thought, which is that she wants to play the score herself. Copy it.
She definitely couldn't talk about this kind of thing, so she didn't dare to look at Li Yong. She slightly lowered her head to read the music, but felt worried in her heart.
Li Yong smiled and said indifferently: "A sword is given to a hero. Even if this pipa score is left here with me, it will be a pearl covered in dust. If the lady wants it, there is no harm in giving it to the lady. But..."
"Ah?" The girl looked up in surprise and asked doubtfully: "But?"
"If Miss can play for me every day from now on, not to mention just this score, I can help you collect as many pieces as Miss wants."
Xin Yan next to him was dumbfounded, thinking that this could still be the case.
When did the young master learn to be so eloquent? Even after listening to it...
When the girl over there heard the words, how could she not hear the hidden meaning? Her face was like several layers of burning clouds, slowly extending to her slender snow-white neck. Now she didn't dare to look at anyone anymore, she just lowered her head. He almost buried his face in the music score, and the auricles exposed between his fallen hair seemed to be penetrated by light, and blood was about to ooze out.
At this time, Li Yong stood up and said, "I'll come over after Miss has finished practicing this song..."
He came and went in a hurry, and the girl was so dazed that she even forgot to ask him who he was, and she also forgot that she hadn't told him her name yet.
I still heard from the nun in the Jiaofang that he was originally the son of Mr. Li's wife in the east of the city. I just heard that he was fond of martial arts and was not good at women.
So this time she came here, she was surprised.
But when she asked the young girl Li Yong what he was doing here, she just said vaguely, "He called me over and played a song, and then he left." As for what grandma was talking about about "rich people" It’s hard to say what I like.” She ignored it.

After finding a corner, the girl took out another ingot of silver from her sleeve pocket, which was left behind when the other party left.
Although it was a silver reward, and considering the other party's identity, she would definitely not be short of this little money. However, the girl thought about it and put the silver ingot away, and would return it to the other party when he comes next time.
For some reason, perhaps because of what the other person said, she didn't want to be looked down upon by him.
Moreover, this pipa score is more precious to her than the silver.
So on the way home, the girl did not spend any silver ingots, but used her own copper coins to buy some buns and go back. Her sister was still waiting at home.
In a dilapidated house, a girl was holding a bun in each hand and gnawing on it, as if someone was trying to grab it from her. Her mouth was filled with oil.
Looking back at Sister, I saw that she was looking at the piece of music spread out in front of the table, but she was lost in thought. Sometimes she smiled and sometimes frowned, but it was like a cloudy sky waxing and waning. She blinked and said, "Sister." , why are you so happy today?"
The girl came back to her senses, looked at her sister, twitched her lips, stepped forward and wiped her mouth, and then said softly: "Sister, I will naturally be happy when I see Yin Zhang eating happily."
The girl didn't think so, but she couldn't explain why. She could only pick up a bun and asked, "Sister, do you want to eat it?"
"I already ate when I came back, you can eat."
"oh……"
