Chapter 13 The door is like a market
Qin Mubai had expected that the emperor would have this skill. Naturally, it was not easy for him to learn from his master, but it was okay to send a seven-grade official. Qin Mubai didn't think that my broom would be a secret and not pass it on. Playing alone is not as good as music. His inadvertent little talent has changed and promoted the pipa performance skills in the Zhenguan era. This matter itself is also quite fulfilling.
Soon, the pipa was taken. Qin Mubai played a song first, and Zeng Hongyou naturally listened attentively.
At the end of the song, Zeng Hongyou was completely stunned and his eyes were straight.
"Zeng Suan Ling, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah?!" Zeng Hongyou suddenly came to his senses, and his face seemed to be a little pale. "Sure enough, sure! Your Majesty is really wise and honest! Qin Jijiu, your pipa stunt is really unprecedented! The lower official immersion ** pipa music has always been quite conceited for 30 years, and now I have to be sincerely convinced and sigh! Those who learn without growth and ability should come first. Lower officials and lower officials must worship you as their teachers, for sure!"
After saying that, he couldn't help kneeling to the ground and salute as a master and apprentice.
Qin Mubai can only shake his head and smile bitterly: "That's all, whatever you want. Since you are also an experts in this field, you don't need me to teach you step by step - I'll teach you this unique fingering!"
"Students thank you, teacher!" Zeng Hongyou is unambiguous and happy.
It is one thing that the emperor has an order to complete the task. Zeng Hongyou is also a music lover. Naturally, he is happy to learn Qin Mubai's unique stunt. In addition, in the feudal dynasty, it has always been upward and downward - what the emperor likes, the ministers and the people below will also compete to follow, which is a fashion and trend.
For example, Li Shimin, an emperor, was born in the military aristocracy of Guanlong. He has been proficient in riding and shooting martial arts since he was a child. He is also an emperor who won the world in the southern expedition and the northern battles. After becoming an emperor, he did not forget martial arts. He often took a group of warriors to pull bows and arrows in front of the palace. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty was still martial arts and the people were vigorous.
Li Shimin likes calligraphy, and his "flying white book" is unique. He can be called a unique contemporary calligrapher. He often leads a group of ministers to taste calligraphy and talk about words. For a while, the government and the opposition have become popular. Therefore, people all over the world, no matter whether they are noble or young, study calligraphy carefully. In the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang paper was expensive for a while.
Even Li Shimin is romantic and lustful, and people all over the world are competing to follow suit, so that the people of the Tang Dynasty are open. It is not taboo about men's and women's boudoirs, and the concept of chastity is relatively weak. This may not be comparable even in the 21st century.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the feudal dynasty, the emperor was the unique "popular king" who led the world's fashion.
The emperor likes music and is unique to the pipa, which is known all over the world. Who can play an outstanding pipa is naturally a good thing.
Therefore, Zeng Hongyou has no reason to be unhappy. Although he is in his forties, he is still at ease with Qin Mubai as modesty and cautious as a primary school student. After studying attentively for most of the day, he left with great gratitude.
In the next few days, the house was quiet and there were no other idle people to visit, and even Li Ke, the king of Wu, did not visit again. The formal appointment letter of the imperial court has not yet been issued, and Qin Mubai is not in a hurry. He lives a regular life every day. At dawn, he practiced martial arts, discussed the art of shooting and arrows with Qin Shubao in the room, and then devoted himself to reading. Then I chatted with my mother and sister and taught my little sister to play the lute.
Zeng Hongyou worshipped his teacher and was ordered to do things. He did not dare to be diligent. He must come to learn art at the beginning of noon every day and leave after three o'clock. After a few days of hard practice, he has almost learned the pipa finger, which can be regarded as a successful teacher.
Two days later, Qin Mansion, which had always been full of people, suddenly became lively.
In the early morning, the house made a lot of noise - a group of eunuchs in the palace came, and they all named Qin Mubai to see Qin Mubai, saying that they came to learn art.
Qin Mubai's head is big. People are really afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. This is a trouble!
The dare is that Zeng Hongyou played to the emperor in the palace after learning his skills, and Longyan was greatly appreciated. And the news that he learned from Qin Mubai also spread.
The concubine of the harem, who doesn't want to have the same specialty to please the emperor and win the favor? Therefore, many concubines in the harem have sent close eunuchs or maids of honor who know how to play the pipa to learn from Qin Mubai, which is clear at a glance.
A group of palace eunuchs are waiting anxiously in the hall of Qinfu. Who doesn't want to do a job and go back to please the master and get a reward? This is a major event related to whether their master is favored by the emperor. One person is promoted to heaven, which is also closely related to their own interests.
As a result, Qin Mubai, a little man who was unknown and had never appeared in the court, inadvertently became the favorite of many concubines in the inner courtyard of the palace.
Just as the eunuchs were a little impatient, there was a low and powerful knocking sound at the corner of the hall, as if it were ringing in their hearts - Qin Shubao came out on crutches.
"See you, Duke of Yi!" Hulala fell to his knees.
"Let's go back later. Just ask Zeng Hongyou to learn art from the department. You don't have to come again." Qin Shubao said lightly, full of silence and a hint of solemnity. All the palace eunuchs did not dare to come out, so they had to apologize and leave one after another, let alone who dared to raise any objection.
Qin Mubai came out to help his father, and the father and son shook their heads with a wry smile.
"Sanlang, as a minister, you can't have anything to do with the people in the harem. This is a big taboo, remember!"
"Children, remember!"
Before the father and son had time to turn around, a lot of people poured out of people at the door. It turned out to be people from various Quyuan singing workshops in Chang'an West City, who came to learn art with a lot of money.
It seems that Qin Mubai's pipa skill has spread from the palace to the city, shocking the people in these places.
Qin Shubao waved his hand angrily: "Close the door and thank you!"
Reject these unpopular people out of the door. The crutch in his hand was heavy on the ground. He hummed, "Liang'er, don't show off this kind of wonderful thing in the future. It's not promising. My Qin family is a general. I believe that as my father, what you will settle down in the future must be martial arts and military tactics. Spend more time on martial arts and reading!"
"I know, Dad." Qin Mubai could only smile bitterly. Regarding the pipa, it is at most a "hobby" for him, but he has never thought of relying on it to become famous or find a way out. I didn't expect that the occasional "unintentional loss" made the tree windy.
It's so difficult to keep a low profile.
A few days later, the closed door of the Qin family finally opened, because this time it was the official of the Ministry of Officials. He sent Qin Mubai's official to report himself, the position Tian Tianqi, the official robe and boots and other things. Without saying a word, he took away the "money to sue", no matter whether you are a Shangzhu Kingdom or a seven-grade official. It's as good as it is.
Qin Shubao didn't say anything about this. He thought it was the "example" of the Tang Dynasty.
Qin Mubai unfolded the official's report. A red folding book is actually a "official appointment letter", which says his place of origin and the appointment of the official position, etc. It is stamped with a large seal of a series of departments such as the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Officials. The production is strong and exquisite.
"Well, we are also bureaucrats, although we are seven-grade sesame officials."
Looking at Tian Qi again, Qin Mubai was a little happy: "This is still a landlord."
According to the Zhenguan Tang Dynasty system, the salaries of officials are mainly rice and land. Qipin Beijing officials can receive 80 stones of grain every year, and there are also three hectares and fifty mu of "job fields". The vocational field can be rented to farmers for planting, and the rent can be collected every year. All this income of ten Qin Mubai is also endless. Of course, it's another thing to have to spend a good time.
I tried the green official robe of Qilu again. Although this style is not very pleasant and habitual, at least the fabric is good and fits well. The most fortunate thing is that the official hat is not green.
"Let's go to Wu Wang's Mansion tomorrow!" Qin Shubao said, "Be a down-to-earth man and be diligent as an official."
"Uh-huh..." Qin Mubai nodded and answered, but he was thinking: the political wisdom and official way of the ancients were not inferior to future generations at all. I don't know what it would be like to be an official in the Tang Dynasty? It's challenging and worth looking forward to.
The next day, Qin Mubai got up early as usual. After practicing martial arts for an hour, he dressed up and prepared to go to work on the first day. Before going out, Liu and Qin Shuanger wiped the unwarranted folds on his shoulders, and sent him out with a warm smile on his face.
Walking on the stone road in Chang'an Lifang in thick Qiu, breathing the dry and cold air of the Tang Dynasty in winter. Qin Mubai looked left and right, and the quaint buildings and crowds made him quite fresh.
Wu Wangfu is not far from Qinfu, and it is only a cup of tea on foot. It didn't take long to get to the front of the house. Above the door of the red-painted copper riveted, there was a plaque of "Wu Wangfu". Eight sergeants with long guns stood in the cold wind, which was quite arrogant.
"Hight, who are you?" Qin Mubai just came forward, and a military academy stopped him with a cross-roat. His face was full of black beards, which was a little majestic.
"In the lower Qin Mubai, the new Wu Wangfu Dongge wine sacrifice, today is the first time to be an official." Qin Mubai replied.
"Qin Mubai? I haven't heard of it. Officials." The black-faced military academy said coldly.
At this time, a pawn behind him said, "Captain Fan, I know this person - is Qin Sanlang of the well-known Duke of Yiguo, right?"
Qin Mubai was reaching out to get the official to sue. At this time, he was a little stunned and couldn't help shaking his head.
"Oh, it's a little similar to the Duke of Yi." There was a duckling smile on the face of the black-faced military academy, waved his hand and said casually, "The assistant below the fifth grade enters through the side door. Let's go quickly - Qin Jijiu."
Qin Mubai frowned slightly and thought that my reputation as a pipa was really not so good. Even these military school soldiers treated me as a person like a trick.
Pulling the thick Qiu on his body, Qin Mubai smiled indifferently and walked to the side door.
