A new luthier named Kuang Xiu came to the palace. I heard that this person was originally a famous musician in Zhao country, and he was very good at rhythm. The sound of the zither has attracted birds to resonate, and those who hear the melody will be moved by the joy, anger, sorrow and joy in the sound of the zither, immersed in it, and experience the various things in the sound of the zither.
This person played the piano to accompany Qin Huang when he was having a banquet, and Qin Huang often praised him. After a long time, the sound of the qin was spread in the palace. Some people said that they did not hear of Kuang Xiu playing the qin, so the feast would be in vain.
A flying bird landed on the palace wall, looked around among the blue tiles, opened its mouth and let out a crisp cry. A person came from far away from the palace wall, startling the birds and flying towards the outside of the palace.
Gu Nan stretched her waist, Lang Zhongling was only in charge of guarding the palace, it was not a tiring job, but there were a lot of idle things. And why did she meddle in the affairs of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms.
Li Si would often come to her to sit down and discuss this matter. The matter of abolishing the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms has been settled, and a plan has begun to be laid. However, it will take several years to completely remove those remaining nobles.
He usually has dark eye sockets and looks like he is still awake, presumably he reads by candle until midnight. Gu Nan is incomparable to such a model worker. They are all in their 40s and 50s. If this continues, Gu Nan is worried that he will suffer from overwork.
The palace wall covered the scenery outside the wall, and it was quiet and claustrophobic, but suddenly there was a sound of plucking strings in the distance.
It was a very empty sound, like the sound that reverberated in the valley after the mountain spring flowed down the cliff and splashed.
Listening to the sound of the piano, Gu Nan unconsciously slowed down a bit. He turned his head and walked in the right direction where the piano sound came from.
The sound of the piano is getting closer and closer, playing to the depth, but suddenly turning up again, resounding like the sound of birdsong in the forest.
Gu Nan stopped in front of a high wall. The sound of the piano came from behind the wall. This is a courtyard in a palace.
She didn't go in, but leaned against the wall, folded her hands in front of her body, and listened to the sound of the piano quietly.
She is not a person who is proficient in temperament, nor is she a literati.
She couldn't say anything about the sound of the piano, it just made her feel good. The reason why she came here was because the sound of the piano reminded her of someone.
A person who has passed away.
The sound of the piano was very similar to hers, Gu Nan smiled lightly, and didn't bother the person playing the piano. Just listening silently, closing my eyes lightly, as if returning to a long time ago.
She didn't leave without saying a word until the song was played and the sound of the piano was far away.
The sun is setting.
It's easy to get emotional when you're old.
In the courtyard behind the wall, a man was sitting there with a long qin on his lap, lightly pressing the strings with both hands.
Turning his head to look outside the wall, he could feel that there was someone there just now, but that person just listened to a song and then left.
The man's eyes were out of focus, as if he couldn't see, with a calm expression on his face, he stared blankly at the wall for a while, then smiled slightly, and put away his long piano.
Every day after that, when Gu Nan returned from Lang Zhongling's yamen, he would stop at a corner of the palace wall, or sit there, listen to a song, and then leave.
The people inside the wall also knew that she would come every day, and at this time of day, he would play in the courtyard until the people outside the wall left.
It started to rain lightly in Xianyang City at noon today, and the fine raindrops wet the streets of Xianyang and also the palace.
The sound of fine rain rang in people's ears, and people on the street complained about the sudden rain, and hurriedly covered their heads.
The raindrops hit the pavilion in the small courtyard, slid down the gaps in the rubble, dripped on the edge, and the water droplets joined together and fell to the ground.
There was a person sitting in the pavilion, he raised his somewhat empty eyes to look into the air, holding Changqin in his arms, listening to the sound of rain.
But it's raining. Today, that person won't come, right
Outside the wall, there is only the sound of raindrops hitting the ground or stagnant water, without the familiar footsteps.
There are a few bunches of flowers and plants planted in the yard, and the raindrops fall among the flowers and plants, falling along the petals.
The person sitting in the pavilion shook his head, and was about to collect the piano and leave.
There was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the wall, and the sound of raindrops falling on the skirt of the clothes.
He smiled and sat down again, setting up the long piano.
Gu Nan looked at the high wall, her hair slightly damp.
Looking at the wall for a while, there is no sound of the piano in the past.
There was helplessness in his eyes, and he looked at the rain in the sky, and it was also the weather like this.
Just as he was about to leave, the sound of the piano within the wall resounded leisurely, accompanied by the sound of the rain.
The sound of the song fluctuated vaguely in the rain, Gu Nan turned his head and stood quietly in the rain, the sound of the piano came from the wall. The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he stood there and listened.
It seems to be back under that roof again, looking at the rain falling in Xianyang, but the people around me are still there.
There was a quiet sound of the piano in the palace wall, and in the empty palace, the raindrops splashed on the ground, and there was a man in a white shirt standing there.
At the end of the song, the white-clothed person moved a bit, turning his head to look at his already soaked clothes.
"Oh." He smiled and shook his head.
If it was in the past, going back like this would definitely be read by Xiaolu for a long time.
The person playing the piano in the pavilion loosened the strings, and the sound of footsteps outside the wall seemed to be leaving.
He turned his head to the side, heard the sound of the rain getting heavier, and said calmly.
"Friends outside the wall, it's raining heavily. If you don't mind, I'll prepare a coir raincoat here."
Gu Nan turned around, this was the first time she heard the people in that courtyard speak.
It's impossible to return the other party's kindness.
He smiled and said to the wall: "So, thank you my friend."
Go around the high wall and walk into the small courtyard. This is a simple and elegant courtyard.
Except for a few clusters of flowers and plants, there is only a small pavilion standing there, with a desk in the pavilion, and the person playing the piano sits on one side of the desk. There is also a coir raincoat and bamboo hat next to the table.
Gu Nan looked at the person under the pavilion but was a little surprised. This person was the luthier who was pushed into the palace by the soldiers that day.
If I remember correctly, his name is Kuangxiu.
At this time, his eyes were empty looking ahead, with a faint smile on his face. Presumably his eyes were blinded by alcohol.
He should have sensed that Gu Nan was looking at him, and he also turned his head, his eyes were looking in Gu Nan's direction.
As if he knew what Gu Nan was thinking, he said in a harmonious voice: "Xiu is also very surprised, the person who comes here to listen to the piano every day is actually General Miao."
"Oh." Gu Nan raised his eyebrows and walked towards the pavilion: "How do you know it's me?"
Kuang Xiu picked up the kettle on the table and poured a cup of warm water, and the steam wafted away: "I'm not talented. I have a different sense of sound since I was a child. I heard the general's voice that day, so I can hear it."
"That's it." Gu Nan sat down, looked at Kuang Xiu's calm appearance, and said amusedly.
"Then you are not afraid of me? People in this palace, when they saw me, they should have avoided me. You invited me in instead."
Kuang Xiu smiled slightly, and said slowly: "If you knew that the person standing outside the wall was a general before inviting the general, Xiu would definitely not invite the general in."
As he spoke, he handed the warm tea to Gu Nan: "But since the general has been invited, we must do our best to treat guests. General, please use it."
