Chapter 11 The Prosperous Literary and Artistic Qingyun Ladder
Looking at the gold, silver coins and Kaiyuan Tongbao placed in front of him worth hundreds of cents, Chen Guang never expected that the musicians who bet him won would pay all the money they won, just asking him to continue to explain music theory to them.
On that day, after listening to the pipa music he played, these musicians asked him for the music score at the post station. Shen Guang was not as precious as most people in this era, and they were even more willing to teach the music to the musicians.
At first, Chen Guang wanted to use the ancient tunes of Gongshang Jiao Zhengyu to draw music scores, but although the musicians were very skilled, they did not know the scores. When they practiced music, they listened to musicians in the palace, and practiced by simply recording the tunes with their ears.
These musicians didn't even know the music score, let alone the words, so Chen Guang started with the simplest music theory knowledge and simple score teaching, which shocked the musicians and were also grateful, because what Chen Guang taught them was something that they even dared not think of in the country.
Under the candlelight, the gold, silver and coins emitted dazzling light. Ten musicians knelt in front of Shen Guang with their eyes straight, without looking sideways. Seeing Shen Guang silent, they all leaned over and bowed, "I'd like to ask my husband to teach you the art."
Chen Guang came back to his senses from his thoughts, looked at the ten musicians who had bowed down and said quickly, "Get up first."
The musicians' desire for music theory knowledge reminds Chen Guang of the short years of teaching. These men who are nearly thirty years old are no different from children in the mountains.
"I have received these money, and I will teach you."
Chen Guang is not a saint, so he must collect tuition fees, and he can reassure these musicians.
"Tsai Langjun."
Hearing Chen Guang's answer, the musicians were all happy, and then said more respectfully that under the rule of the Anxi Dadu Protectorate, the four vassal states were the most sinicized. The musicians used to be intoxicated by the palace of the Kingdom of Khotan and knew what respect for teachers and Taoism, but they felt that their identities were low and they dared not call Chen Guang the teacher.
Half an hour later, Chen Guang finished teaching the basic knowledge of the quartet. The musicians all quit after giving the ceremony and then left the account one after another. They were listening to the news that they always ran to the pile of coins and seemed to be crazy.
"Langjun, I'm afraid I can buy so many camels with so much money?"
Looking at the glowing news of the eyes, Shenguang had no idea about the purchasing power of these coins, but how powerful it was to make gold, silver and copper coins piled up into a hill, it was indeed very shocking.
"Duowen, you keep all the money."
Since returning to secular life, everyone has assumed that Duowen is Chen Guang's child servant. Even Duowen himself thought so. He has served Chen Guang to dress and wash clothes these days. When he heard Chen Guang ask him to manage his money, he quickly happily put the coins into a wooden box, and then hugged them tightly and refused to let go, like a cat protecting food.
Looking at Duowen who was planning to sleep in the box, Chen Guang couldn't help but quip, "Why are you so tightly holding it? Are you still afraid of thieves?"
"Langjun, are there shameless thieves in the temple secretly offered money for incense to the Buddha?"
Duowen has been teased by those rude dentists these days, so he naturally feels that those dentists are not good people.
Seeing that many news persisted, Chen Guang didn't care. He stood up and loosened his muscles and bones, put on his long sleeves with cotton, and left the camp tent. Outside was the tooth soldier under Wang Shenyuan. When he saw him, he smiled and said, "Would you like to go there?"
"Just walk here and have some breath."
Although Shen Guang was not a night owl, he usually never went to bed until eleven or twelve o'clock. He asked him to sleep early like the people of the Tang Dynasty to take good care of his health, he thought it would take a long time to get used to it.
The soldiers of the tooth will never stop Shen Guang. Now no one in the camp knows the name of the husband, but just said, "Don't go far, brother."
Chen Guang nodded and realized that it was already dark. In the camp, except for the night watch and patrol soldiers, all the troops were resting. It was not that he should have come out like this, but he really couldn't sleep.
Looking up at the vast starry sky with the dazzling galaxy and the sky hanging upside down, Chen Guang was still a little confused when he thought about the future. Although he had set ambitions to achieve his career, he had no idea what to do.
When you arrive in Kucha, you must first buy a house and place your news well; no matter what era, money is always good; in addition, the old man said that if you have food in your hands, you will not panic in your heart, and it is always right to do a good job of farming!
Chen Guang was thinking randomly and gradually had some vague ideas in his mind. Although Gao Xianzhi valued him very much, Chen Guang knew his ability. When he arrived in Kucha, he had to plan his study plan well. In this era, he had to learn too much.
...
In the warm tent, looking at the leader of the musician who was frightened after being summoned, Gao Xianzhi thought for a while after hearing his report, "Since Chen Lang is willing to teach you slaves, then you can learn it well."
Gao Xianzhi enjoys it so much, he likes music, singing and dancing, but in his eyes, whether it is a dancer or a musician, they are just slaves, "Get out!"
Upon hearing this, the music leader hurriedly stepped back and stood up to leave the tent. When he left, Judge Chen came out from behind the screen and said, "Protector, Chen Lang can control the rhythm, he is a great talent!"
Gao Xianzhi laughed. The saints like music, singing and dancing, and the world admires Hu Feng. Kucha is famous for its Hu music and dance. There are countless nobles in Chang'an City, and they are proud of their musicians and dancers who own Kucha.
However, no matter how skilled those musicians are, they are ultimately slaves who enjoy the joy of the people. Only those who can make music, compose tunes, and write new lyrics are the masters of the world. When they are placed in Chang'an City, they will be sought after and valued by saints.
"It is still unknown whether it is a talented person!"
While talking to himself, Gao Xianzhi looked at Judge Chen, and his eyes seemed to be joking, "You lost the wine and lost the beauty, don't you blame Chen Lang?"
"If you are not as skilled as a human being, there is no need to complain about anything, let alone a man's talent, like a cap in his pocket, he will see it immediately."
Judge Chen followed Gao Xianzhi, the lord for many years. He knew his temperament and did not care about the jokes in his words. Instead, he said seriously, "I am afraid that Cheng, Wang and others will not convince him when they return to Kucha. Feng Er is a stern person. The shogunate is short of Chen Lang."
"You think so?"
"Chen Lang is good-looking, has a good alcohol tolerance, and can speak. It is better to protect Chen Lang than to let Feng Er go and deal with others."
Judge Chen looked at the lord who was over 40 years old but still handsome, and said, "It is a common practice to judge people by their appearance. If Feng Er had the appearance of a Chen Lang, he would not have been wasted years. If it were not for the promotion of the lord, he would have sighed on the top of the city!"
When Gao Xianzhi heard Judge Chen say Feng Er, he couldn't help but smile. Others only thought Feng Er recommended himself to him and persevered, but he didn't know that he had known Feng Er's talent for a long time. However, Feng Er was a man who was arrogant and had no desire to be stubborn. He would use it directly without any pressure. Sooner or later, he would be chopped off his head because of his stinky mouth.
"Is the guardian worried that Feng Er was jealous of Chen Lang's appearance?"
Seeing Gao Xianzhi laughing, his brows frowned slightly, as if he was worried, Judge Chen immediately guessed the thoughts of the lord. Feng Er was lame and ugly, and sarcastically sarcastically at many colleagues in the shogunate, but he had any mistakes. Everyone thought that he was eccentric and difficult to get along with, and only a few people could speak to him.
"I have already spoken, but when I returned to Kucha, I made Chen Lang the judge. Feng Er could not rub the sand in his eyes. Chen Lang had no achievements, but I was afraid that something would happen at that time."
Gao Xianzhi couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought of Feng Er, who was not fake to others except himself.
"The Protector and Chen Lang are a man. Judging from his own opinion, he is easy-going and does not judge others by his appearance."
When Judge Chen saw that Gao Xianzhi was worried, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Feng Er recommended himself to the Protector in the past. He envied the Protector's Yingzi, so he repeatedly submitted his letters. He thought that the Protector did not have to worry too much."
"You will comfort people."
Gao Xianzhi felt much better when he heard Judge Chen's words, so he asked again, "Chen Lang has been wandering in a foreign country for many years. When he arrived in Kucha, he would arrange something suitable for him."
"Chen Lang is good at music and can also make new music. Why don't he ask him to train musicians and dancers to offer sacrifices to the saints."
"You're going to have more ideas."
