Chapter 471 How did the Song Dynasty die?

Wang Yu still couldn't hold back his curiosity and unknowingly arrived outside Shen Long's house. He only heard the singing of Zhou Nan and Chu Yun'er inside, but there was no shadow of her two people on the window. Only Shen Long was at the desk. Busy ahead.

"Yuanze hasn't slept yet? Why don't you come in and help me take a look!" Shen Long's voice came from inside while he was struggling, and the window was opened immediately, but there was a big light as bright as the bright moon above Shen Long's head, illuminating it. The room was as bright as day, and looking around, Shen Long was still the only one in the room, and the two girls were nowhere to be seen.

"It's so... disturbing." He didn't know how Master Shen found out. Wang Yu was confused. In addition, Shen Long didn't seem to want to sleep, so he simply opened the door and went in.

Entering inside, he saw an open book-like object placed on Shen Long's desk. The upright side was like a mirror. Inside was the scene where the two of them had just enjoyed the singing and dancing of the two girls in Biyue Pavilion. In the picture, it turns out that the singing is coming from here. Could it be that the young alchemist in the past used the magic to summon the soul of Mrs. Li for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?

"Yuanze, come and help me take a look. I recorded Zhou Nan and Chu Yun'er's singing and dancing today. Didn't you say that they occasionally made mistakes when singing and dancing, so I replaced the mistakes with correct ones, but I don't understand much about this. Can you see if there are any mistakes?" Shen Long turned the object, just facing Wang Yu, and then the scene switched to when the two of them had just arrived in the room and started singing and singing again. dance.

"Oh, the movable type printing that Daoist Shen showed me and my son in the morning was always like this, right?" Wang Yu seemed to understand now. He moved closer and watched the song and dance performance carefully, telling Shen Long from time to time. Shen Long grasped a dark mouse-like thing and pressed it a few times, and the wrong places were switched to the correct sounds. However, these sounds should have been sung correctly after a few times. I don't know how he did it.

After struggling for more than an hour, when Chu Yun'er sang Liu Sanbian's "Rain Lin Ling" again, Wang Yu couldn't find a single mistake, even though Chu Yun'er was the best at singing Liu lyrics in Beijing. As a prostitute, there is no guarantee that there will be no mistakes in the lyrics. There will be some omissions every time, but this time, there is absolutely no flaw.

"This is really... this is really... the Xian family's methods are really omnipotent!" Now Chu Yun'er's lyrics in the mirror were actually better than her own, and she could keep singing without resting at all. Wang Yu didn't even know what to say.

Shen Long yawned greatly, "Okay, let's go here today. I'm going to rest. It seems Yuanze will have to work tomorrow? Then I'll wait for you to go to Biyuexuan together when you get off duty. Let’s re-record Zhou Nan’s lyrics to Yan Shu’s lyrics, right?”

Just now Wang Yu discovered that when Zhou Nan sang Yan Shu's song "The Moon Melts in the Pear Blossom Courtyard, and the Breeze Breezes in the Catkin Pond", Zhou Nan made a mistake several times in one part. He didn't notice it at the time, so now he can only go back and record it again.

"That's...very good." Wang Yu naturally would not refuse, and stood up to leave.

"Wait a minute, I just forgot to give you two things." Shen Long stood up and touched from his sleeves, took out two lamp-like objects and placed them on the table. He pressed the button on the lamp holder, and the lamps suddenly It was lit. Although the light was not as bright as the bright moon lamp above his head, it was countless times better than the candles they usually used.

"Put it in the sun for a few hours during the day, and then you can use it at night. You and your son will inevitably read and write at night. Using this is better than using candles to harm your eyes." Shen Long handed the two lamps to Wang. He said, "I'm going to bed. Let them come back tomorrow at noon to ask me to eat. Don't disturb me in the morning."

"Thank you, Master Shen. I'll tell them right away." These two lamps were indeed good things. Wang Yu took them and left with great gratitude.

Just when closing the door, I seemed to vaguely hear Shen Long muttering in the room, "Hey, I really want to find two big men from Guanxi to sing 'The Great Jiangdong goes to the east of the Yangtze River to make ends meet', but it's a pity that this poem was written by Su Shi in the fifth year of Yuanfeng. It’s not good to expose it in advance.”

When he came outside, Wang Anshi's study was still lighted up. Wang Anshi held the lamp and pushed the door in. Seeing his father reading "The Biography of Shang Yang", he quickly turned on the lamp and put it on the desk, and told Wang Anshi what he had just said. thing.

"It is indeed a good thing!" Wang Anshi also praised the lamp. "I heard that when officials come in, they read memorials until late at night every day. It would be great to have this lamp."

"Father, Taoist Shen just said that these two lamps are for me and my son. If they are given to the officials, I am afraid...and if the officials ask about the origin of these two lamps... .." While Wang Yu was speaking, his eyes fell on the "Biography of Wang Anshi" in Wang Anshi's hand. What would happen if the official read "The Biography of Wang Anshi"?

"This... let's wait a little longer!" Wang Anshi hesitated. Taoist Shen didn't mean it. It didn't seem right to transfer the gift he gave to others, and he didn't have enough contact with the officials. Even so, the character of the official is still unclear, so it is indeed not appropriate to expose Shen Long's existence too early.

"Well, father, the child is going to have a rest first. Father, let's have a rest early too!" Wang Yu bowed and retreated.

In the next few days, Shen Long and Wang Yu became frequent visitors to major brothels in Beijing. As long as there were famous prostitutes with outstanding lyrics, they would visit them one by one and present them with irresistible treasures, so that these famous prostitutes would They sang the Liu Ci, Yan Shu Ci, Zhang Xian Ci, and the newly composed Su Ci over and over again, even the somewhat taboo Li Yu Ci.

Every time these two people listen, they leave directly without singing with these famous prostitutes or staying overnight, which is quite confusing.

Back at Wang Anshi's house, Wang Yu and Shen Long trimmed these pieces of music together, making sure to make every piece perfect. Wang Anshi was in his study, carefully studying his own biography and Shang Yang's biography under bright lights. , as well as handling daily official duties and revising the "Notes on Nothing Happened in This Dynasty for a Hundred Years".

After Shen Long finished pruning, Wang Yu returned to the study and discussed the two biographies with his father. Unfortunately, as Shen Long said, the history books compiled by the barbarians were too crude. The whole text was only four to five thousand words, and there were many details. He didn't even know, which made Wang Anshi quite depressed.

When he came back from Tianxiachao and saw Shen Long, Wang Anshi finally couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Master Shen, I wonder if you can lend me the "History of the Song Dynasty" and "Records of the Song Dynasty" for a look?"
