Chapter 271 The female scholar is not easy to fool
In the end, Li Su was unable to show off at his wife on the night of practicing "Love the Country and Love Beauty", but instead delayed until the day when he set off in two days.
There is no way, because he overlooked the simplest issue that was enough to expose his musical IQ - he did not "arrange the music".
As we all know, the tunes when singing are the simplest main melody, and when accompaniment, they have to be reorganized, with many fancy embellishments. Playing a guitar requires chords, and playing a guzheng requires sweeping the strings, otherwise it will be monotonous and unpleasant. Viewers who have watched several videos know that even "A Laugh in the Sea" which is known as the keyboard, the master of the guitar is still very gorgeous when playing it.
If the ancients had many bands and complicated music, the people who played the serpent could only play the main melody, and the rest would be left to Qin Sheng to accompany the song. But Li Su obviously could not play only one main melody himself, but asked Jin Se to help him play the piano and accompaniment, that would be a mistake.
So he had to let Jinse spend more than a day teaching him how to add the simplest string sweep decoration at the end of each tune.
Jinse was very good at being a teacher at the beginning, and the opportunity for a servant to teach her husband was rare, so she showed off her skills and wanted to teach her some quick skills, but was rejected by the scheming Li Su.
This is definitely not because Li Su doesn't know how to learn musical cells, but because he is well aware of the importance of acting skills. When Sima Yan asked someone to send a paper to Sima Zhong to do it, Jia Nanfeng first asked the doctoral officer to cheat and answered it well, but in the end he was persuaded by the eunuchs around him: The emperor had known for a long time that the prince was not very smart, and suddenly handed over such a classic answer. Wouldn't he be seen through and cheated immediately? Of course, as long as the answer was roughly smooth and the words were simple, it was enough.
Cai Yan and Li Su have been in fact for three years. How can they not know how much Li Su has? Of course, they can't make too fast progress.
All of this led to this scene on the Minjiang boat on the day of departure.
The ninth day of the fourth month, early morning.
Li Su's light robe, a slow belt, a golden crown and a jade pendant, a hand-crank folding fan, a goldfish bag with incense medicine on her waist, riding a solid-colored Dayuan white horse, a few people with his wife and servants, carrying incense burners, pianos and zithers, various musical instruments, and luggage utensils for pre-packing, gifts for Cai Yong, boarded a new luxury boat of six hundred materials, and set sail eastward.
Of course, Dian Wei was on the same boat as Li Su and had to play the captain. Gan Ning brought two thousand reinforcements to Zhao Yun, and Zhou Tai brought one thousand elite sailors as Li Su's guard. He rode more than a hundred civilian ships, and warships followed the guards, and hundreds of boats competed for the current. The fleet also transported thousands of Shu brocades, a large amount of weapons and supplies, and also vacated some of the reserved cabins for it.
When it comes to the largest warship in Yizhou, the one Li Su is currently on is certainly not considered. Because as early as the Western Han Dynasty, the largest building ship built by the imperial court was twelve meters long. Now the largest warship in Liu Bei's camp was always built in the Yiling area, and the number is not large. It has always been used as a technical reserve to practice craftsmen on Zhao Yun's side. If tonnage, there are eight hundred materials or even thousands of materials.
But the biggest disadvantage of the tower ship is that it has poor stability and there is certain danger through the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. Therefore, Liu Bei only secretly raised wood to build a ship after leaving the Three Gorges, in order to one day use troops to the downstream areas.
However, Li Su's 600-foot boat is the best one among civilian ships today, because Mi Zhu used to trade back and forth between Liaodong, Sanhan and Xuzhou Donglai. The sand ship that immigrated was only 400 materials, equivalent to about 130 tons, while Li Su's full load should exceed 200 tons. Civilian ships should take into account both the seaworthiness and cannot just pile up water displacement.
There are no more than five in Yizhou now. They are all the Mi family craftsmen who came with Mi Zhen’s dowry. The new products they took out after studying craftsmanship in Yizhou in recent years have integrated many new and improved products. Liu Bei wanted to send Li Su to Jingzhou this time, and of course he had to pick out the best ship to reward him as a ship. Even the people around Li Su had never boarded such a luxurious ship before.
After Cai Yan got on the boat, he was also fascinated. Especially there was a lookout on the half of the mast, which had a very wide view. You could see the green mountains on both sides of the river flying past, and the surging Minjiang River was endless and beautiful. For the young woman in the boudoir who had never climbed high to see the river view from afar, she was of course very dazzling.
"Husband, look, my husband, I didn't expect that when I saw the surging river, I could see the river and the sky. If I changed to a big boat, it would be better to stand high. The Minjiang River I usually see is blocked by mountains and never sees it connected to the sky. It's so vast that I really feel that our ordinary women are just a drop in the candle."
Li Su stopped his fan and sheltered his wife: "This is called 'only seeing... the flow of the Yangtze River in the sky'. The lonely sail is far away and the blue sky is gone, but only seeing the flow of the Yangtze River in the sky. It is not that we write well in the poem, but that we cross the vast river and stand high and look far. Who can be lucky enough to ride such a towering giant ship in a day and a thousand miles?"
Cai Yan chuckled: "Shouldn't it be the flowing from the Minjiang River in the sky? Others use the Minjiang Yangtze River in order to make the words and sentences generous, and it is okay to use the Minjiang Yangtze River. But you wrote "A Study on the Origin of the Great River", "The Minjiang River is not the Origin of the Yangtze River, but Lushui is the Origin of the Lushui River". Who said this?"

Li Su was anxious: "Do you care about me! Isn't this an artistic treatment? The Minjiang River is so unpleasant, just pretend you didn't hear these two words. I said it after two days when we crossed the road and entered the Yangtze River!"
The reason why Li Su hesitated and stumbled just now was because he realized that he should change the Minjiang River, but then he thought that most people in the world still believed that the Minjiang River was the source of the Yangtze River, so he planned to use it so as not to ruin famous quotes. He did not want to plagiarize, but simply because he saw the open-minded scenery and naturally couldn't help it.
Unexpectedly, just because he was the author of "The Great River Zhengyuan Kao", he was caught by his wife and joked. Oh, who made their family a literary couple? If you have a wife who is not easy to fool around reading poetry and books, it is easy to get out of the way.
Li Su wanted to stop the loss immediately. Seeing Cai Yan's initial interest in climbing high to see the river view, he hurriedly turned the silence: "It's windy on the high river, please go back to the cabin quickly. I have been feeling something recently, and I have a song to give it to my wife."
Cai Yan's eyes lit up: "It's good that you can play the stern. I'm still able to compose music?"
Li Su: "Well... this is not important, it's just a simple and vulgar tune. The key is to play and sing, otherwise it would be nothing."
Cai Yan's curiosity was fully mobilized, and she stopped looking at the river view, so she hurriedly went downstairs to return to the cabin. She was not good at climbing stairs, and asked Li Su to hug her waist to protect her.
When he arrived in the cabin, Li Sufenxiang set off the piano and se, and played the song that he had just learned from Jinse yesterday with a sense of vicissitudes of life.
And he did make some improvisation and do some small processing - his fleet went to the road from north to south, so the left side was east and the right side was west. He found a position on the cabin to the right, so the piano table on the right side was surging rivers, and his wife sat on the left side.
This is the authentic "my beauty in the east, and a river in the west".
As for the Yellow River in the lyrics... I temporarily replaced it, where did the Yellow River come from? Anyway, it is not rumored to the outside world.
The zither gurgled, the strings swept dizzy, the river wind echoed, and the sang softly. Within a few breaths, Cai Yan was stunned.
"Life is just a few short autumns. I will never stop until I get drunk. I will drip my beauty in the east, and the river flows in the west..."
After Li Su entered the repeated singing of the ** part, Cai Yan quickly turned from intoxication to alertness, and quickly mastered the tune. He took a Jiaowei Tongqin, sat next to his husband, and then whispered: "Don't sweep it, I'll give it to you."
After all, Li Su's string sweeping technique is still too bad, and he is only willing to learn the basic styles from Jinse, so it must be a bit disgusting.
How could a master like Cai Yan resist such an open-minded and open-minded song being ruined by such a rough and rough music? Of course, it is enough to let Li Su play the main tune well.
After Cai Yan started, Li Su felt that it was immediately different, and it had a taste. Moreover, the girl could improvise how to make a difference after listening to it once or twice, and she could make the best use of the improvements. It was really extraordinary.
A few minutes later, even Li Su was taken wrongly. He had forgotten what the arrangement of this song was like in his previous life, but it was not at all inconsistent.
"Master, this is the foundation. I can't catch up even if I make a fool of myself." Li Su Zhan trembled and actually sweated.
"Why don't you play anymore? I haven't had enough fun yet. I've been married for two years, but I haven't seen you as happy as you. Record the score and I'll change it!" Cai Yangang felt a little bit, which was like a teasing that it was so irritating that it suddenly disappeared. How could he let him go?
This is even more unacceptable than being half-soft-done!
"I... what else is there? This is just playing with excitement. If the excitement is over, then the end is over. My musical excitement is relatively short." Li Su realized that he had stabbed a hornet's nest and had to admit defeat.
Anyway, the responsibilities that other husbands should fulfill are still very lasting, but Qu Xing is just short, so there is no shame.
"No, you can't do anything else, just repeat the previous ones, and I will slowly think about it and improve it myself." Of course, Cai Yan refused to let him go, just allowing him to no longer have any 'implementation of the flash of inspiration', but repeat the performances in detail.
Li Su flicked for more than an hour, and finally put on a finger condom before he carried it over, otherwise he might have smoked his fingers.
After lunch on the boat, Li Su pretended to be tired and quickly took a nap to avoid his wife's entanglement. Cai Yan had to rest as he got up. After getting up, he was pestered to play the piano. Finally, it was in the evening when the boat passed Nan'an. Li Su Wailou advised Cai Yan to enjoy the scenic scenery of Leshanyan, which completely attracted Cai Yan's attention.
Leshanyan is the location of the Leshan Giant Buddha in later generations. Now Guan Yu has been in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians here for three months and has begun to take shape. The water of the Dadu River has been diverted to flow into the water of the Minjiang River, so there will be no obvious vortex. However, in the combined river section, the water flow speed will still increase sharply several times, so that when the fleet passes, it must pass in sequence to avoid the sudden surge in the ship speed and accidents of collision.
Cai Yan lived to be nineteen years old and had not ridden a thousand-mile horse, so he naturally could not have experienced this "fast and passion". Seeing that the ship could reach an extreme speed of more than a hundred miles per hour when passing through the estuary, he was of course yelling in surprise.
Even Jinse Xiushe didn't come to disturb them at first, and ran over excitedly and grabbed Li Su with one hand and pushed out the other, wanting to see but afraid of being thrown into the river.
That kind of mood is no less than the little girl sitting in the co-pilot of the sports car in later generations.
"I didn't expect that I could sail here, and it was so fast when I passed through the estuary. It was impossible to pass by in a flash. Husband/sir could persuade the king to build this weir to benefit the people. I really accumulated virtue." Several girls couldn't help but chatter.
Cai Yan saw more and couldn't help but ask again: "Why is our boat very fast? I saw that the ship in front is getting closer and further away, and our boat in the back is getting farther and farther away. Our boat is the most exciting."
It turned out that she also noticed a problem, that is, Li Su's boat speed is faster than others, and everyone sailed together in the morning, and Li Su's boat was not even as sailed.
Li Su was just about to divert the attention of the female piano demon playing the piano, so of course he did not hesitate to say some interesting things: "This is a long story, mainly because our ship is thinner. Do you know how it was made? Are you interested?"
"If you are not interested, let's continue playing the piano." Cai Yan had no curiosity in engineering.
Li Su: "..."
When Jinse saw that Li Su was not good, she took the opportunity to speak: "Madam, what song did you play in the morning? It's so cheerful. Let's teach you my maids, so you can play it for you in the future."
