Chapter 10 Digging and Filling
When the fortress of Mr. Wang was broken, several other nail houses were simply not worth mentioning. When the people saw that the matter was unscrupulous, they immediately changed their words and expressed their willingness to go to Xinhua. In this way, more than 100 men, women, young and old were all reborn on the way to Xinhua.
For Mao Geng, there are joys and sorrows in things. What is joyful is that you can take a few more eye-catching Wang sisters on the way, and what is worrying is that Wen Yuan digs a bit big this time. The reason why the Wang family finally chose Xinhua was simply because they were so-called secluded master, but where did they find this fictitious master!
You have to admit that this guy can always find some wrong ways to fool things, but it is a typical "kill, no matter whether you are buried" practice. He can only live in front of him, and he will definitely wear a bag after a while, but he will not be able to lose it for a lifetime. But Wen Yuan doesn't care how serious the consequences are.
Mao Geng really wanted to tell Mr. Wang the truth several times, but on the one hand, his reputation would be discouraged, and he would be confirmed as a spy. On the other hand, he really didn't want the Wang family to go to Lin'an to make a living, so he had to make the mistake and acquiesce to Wenyuan's lie.
Even though he knew that things would be worn when Xinhua came, Mao Geng wished he would be able to travel longer, and he would not have room for maneuver until one day he came up with a perfect plan.
But Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang were quite eager to get wings, and a gust of wind could blow to Xinhua.
The two men who were ordered to escort the man had originally planned to go to their destination by land, but they could not resist Mr. Wang insisting on going by water. He also said that if the travel expenses exceeded the cost, he would go to Xinhua County Magistrate to cancel the account.
The two men were annoyed and pulled Brother Zhang to a remote place for a long time. Finally, according to Master Wang's suggestion, he took a boat to Changsha through the Yangtze River and then took a land trip to Xinhua. Mao Geng guessed that Brother Zhang might be the representative of Xinhua and could make half of his decision in everything.
If you take the land route, men, women, young and old may have to take two or three months, but it is different to take the water route by boat. I am afraid you can arrive in one month.
When we were resting along the way, Mao Geng also taught Brother Wang, mainly geometry. Mao Geng's conditions have been greatly improved. He has prepared all the paper, brushes, ink, compass, corners and rulers, many of which are made by homemade. In order to draw geometric drawings, Mao Geng also made duck brushes. The duck brush may be worse than quilts, but it is better than that. Of course, this has been strongly supported by Mr. Wang, who is hoping to become a success.
Wen Yuan often looks for opportunities to talk to the little girl he likes, but when faced with Mr. Wang's eyes that were always on guard, Wen Yuan never dared to act arrogantly.
On this day, we finally got on the boat, and hundreds of people rode on the navy's transport ship in three groups.
The Song Dynasty was a national business, and the military was no exception. The navy relied on shipping to do business half-openly and half secretly, which was a secret rule on the road. In the officialdom, they turned a blind eye to the three naval ships and agreed that the three ships had half of the cargo and half of the people. The ship's ship's ships were actually lower than the land travel fee. The naval army was so arrogant that the taxes would not be so strict. The tax collection along the way was the big deal. In comparison, the income from shipments was nothing, so the two sides hit it off.
Mao Geng was not afraid of taking a sea boat in his previous life, and it was even less difficult to take an inland boat. Mao Geng was in good health. From the moment he boarded the boat, Mao Geng began to formulate a teaching plan. It is necessary to train Brother Wang. It is best to keep learning with his own teaching plan. After learning this and that, you should not have the opportunity to find the fictitious master.
Although Mr. Wang was dissatisfied with the failure to go to Lin'an, he took his anger on Mao Geng at first, but as time went by, he saw that Mao Geng taught Brother Wang with all his heart, and many of the calculations he taught were unheard of. Gradually, his attitude towards Mao Geng improved.
However, Mr. Wang was still skeptical about Mao Geng's sect.
On this day, Master Wang was used to riding a boat and no longer felt uncomfortable. On a whim, he took a poem. After Mao Geng finished teaching, he opened the table and read the pen and wrote a seven-character quatrain. Mr. Wang, Mao Geng and Brother Wang stood aside, watching Master Wang pass by in a wave of his hand. Mao Geng felt that his poem was just like this, nothing more than the broken mountains and rivers, feeling the country's hatred and family hatred, etc. The artistic conception was not excellent, but one stroke was written smoothly, and his skills were extraordinary. He was a well-deserved calligrapher in later generations. However, in the Song Dynasty, it may be because there were too many people like Master Wang who had a foundation in calligraphy, Master Wang might not be able to be ranked first.
Mao Geng walked out of the cabin and saw that the river surface turned wide. The vast Yangtze River water never ended eastward. Clear water flowed, turbid water flowed, clear and turbid water flowed, time was also flowing, and the thoughts of the previous moment were also flowing, looking at the sky, and I felt a lot of emotion for a while. Mao Geng could not write poems or write lyrics. The poems he could think of were those famous Tang and Song lyrics. As for the poems after the Tang and Song dynasties, he could remember very few. I remember some of the poems of Mao, but I could only remember a few of them. Besides, there was no feeling of copying poems for him at this time.
Mao Geng saw the scenery at this time and thought of the lyrics of the late master of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the songs of later generations, and couldn't help singing:
"When will the spring flowers and autumn moon come? How much will it be known in the past? The building was windy again last night, and the homeland was unbearable to look back at the moonlight. The carved railings and jade bricks should still be there, but the red faces change. I ask you how much sorrow you can have, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward!"
As Mao Geng sang, he unknowingly became the two emperors of Jingkang. He thought that Song Huizong was versatile, but he fell into that field. He sighed for a moment and couldn't help but sang the song again.
After singing, I heard a timid voice coming from behind me:
"Brother Mao, did you write this song? The song you wrote is very different from the circulating song "Yu Meiren", but it is indescribable. Can Brother Mao teach me?"
When Mao Geng saw that the person talking was Wang Qinyan, the eldest sister of Brother Wang, and the second girl of the Wang family, was Wang Qinyin.
Mao Geng felt a little joy in his heart when he heard this, but then a little sadness arose. He could hum a lot of songs, but most of them were out of tune, and he couldn't remember many lyrics, let alone playing the piano and composing music. The so-called "no musical cells" probably refers to himself.
Mao Geng smiled bitterly and said:
"This song is not Xiaoke - that one written, this is Xiaoke's master - that song composed by the master. The master taught Xiaoke - that one that sang, but unfortunately Xiaoke learned it a little - that one out of tune, and cannot sing that one - that artistic conception, I'm afraid that if I teach you wrongly, it will be bad if I teach you wrongly."
Mao Geng had no choice but to bring out the false master as a shield. Anyway, this virtual master can be shaped by himself. Just shape the master into being both literary and martial, and good at singing and dancing, and it is omnipotent. However, although the master is so strong that he is beyond words, his disciples are very poor in qualifications. Mao Geng must go to the tune at least three times in a song. At this level, how can he teach the two girls in front of him?
Sister Qinyan just spoke, but Mao Geng refused. The younger sister Qinyin refused to let go of this opportunity and said from the side:
"Brother Mao should not be humble. He must teach the little girl to sing this song. The melody of this song is so vivid and it can be sings thousands of times. It is a good song and good song. I just want Brother Mao to not refuse."
Qin Yin is only sixteen years old, only fifteen years old. In later generations, she is either a junior high school student or a senior high school student. When she saw the cute little girl asking for help, Mao Geng immediately felt that she could not refuse, so she had to bite the bullet and start teaching her. She thought that although she sang this song out of tune, it was not serious, so it would be okay to teach them.
It is impossible not to say that music is an art that emphasizes talent. As an engineering student in his previous life, Mao Geng belongs to the category of people with the least musical cells. It’s okay to sing out of tune, but it’s even more terrible to teach people to sing.
This is the first time Mao Geng teaches people to sing, and he spares no effort. Mao Geng sang a sentence, and the two girls sang one after another, and then Mao Geng pointed out:
"It's out of tune, come again."
If you sing again, it will still be like this. If you sing again, it will be out of tune again. Let’s go back! The teacher Mao Geng didn’t feel it, but the students sang as he sang behind him. Of course, it was the same out of tune. He didn’t feel it, but the other person could understand the out of tune, so he immediately pointed out that the key is whether Mao Geng sings again or out of tune again. Of course, the two students would also go back to tune again.
After teaching twice in the out-of-tune voice, Mao Geng was almost collapsed. When Mao Geng was about to give up, he saw Qin Yin's expectant eyes at first sight, so he had to continue teaching.
Halfway through the third time, Wen Yuan and the little girl Wang Qinqin surrounded him.
When Mao Geng pointed out that his two students were out of tune again, the little girl laughed:
"Brother Mao family, the two sisters sang to you at all. If you want to go out of tune, you will be out of tune first! Is there anyone who teaches people to sing like this?"
Sweat! When Mao Geng heard this, he felt sweaty in his heart. Don’t mention it.
Qin Yin said:
"Brother Mao, why not sing it again. Don't pause, keep singing it. When you finish singing a song, the little girl will listen carefully to this time and maybe she will sing it."
Mao Geng had to go out and sing it again, and then Mao Geng heard the Qinyin adapted version of "Yu Meiren". After listening to it, he felt that he could only use one good word to describe it. The tune of Qinyin is different from the genuine singing style of later generations in memory, but it is not Mao Geng's version of the tune. It can be called Qinyin version, which sounds different from the charm.
Mao Geng felt that Qin Yin was very talented in music and could adapt good music based on out-of-tune songs. What is it if it is not talent!
OK! Mao Geng said to himself mockingly that it’s nothing to go wrong, it’s just a brick to attract jade, I’m just that brick.
Qin Yan immediately said:
"Thank you, Brother Mao! My little sister learned this song and sang it so well, but I don't know if Brother Mao has a music score. If there is a zither accompaniment, it would be perfect." Qin Yan's words obviously do not think that learning the music can lead to the true teachings of the music.
Upon hearing this, Mao Geng shook his head quickly:
"There is no music score. Master has never taught Xiaoke's music score at all. Xiaoke really doesn't understand the music score." At this time, Mao Geng of course had to push everything to Master.
But the little girl Wang Qinqin was busy with trouble:
"When will Brother Mao meets Master, remember not to forget to ask for a music score!"
Mao Geng waved his hand quickly:
"Xiao Ke, that master - that travels around the world, Xiao Ke doesn't know - that - which day will I find Master." Mao Geng said this, "Yi Wu Liu, anyway, he will never show up in his life."
But the little girl continues to pursue her:
"I heard from my father that you have a master living in seclusion near Xinhua. If you can't find your master, the same is true for you. The little girl will go to your master to ask for a music score by yourself. Haha, your master will not be so stingy, right!"
Mao Geng hated that Qin Qin was troublesome, but he could only blame Wen Yuan for digging a hole. Fortunately, Mao Geng finally thought of a way to delay, so he sighed and said:
"Oh! Unfortunately, my master gave Xiaoke three questions. Xiaoke had to solve these three questions before he could meet his master. Before that, he could not meet his master."
Qin Yin asked uncertainly at this time:
"Is it difficult for the little woman to see Brother Mao write and draw every day? "
Mao Geng smiled and said:
"It's not very difficult to say the three questions, but it takes a lot of time. What I wrote and painted these days is just one of them. Master's questions is to ask Xiaoke to make a timekeeping mechanism. Su Song of this dynasty once made a water meter, which is a timekeeping instrument, but the water meter was too huge. Master asked Xiaoke to make this timekeeping mechanism the size of a book box, and remember it for twelve hours. I'm afraid it will take a year and a half to create this mechanism."
In order to fill the pit of a false master, Mao Geng came up with a procrastination method. He had the final say in three questions anyway. Since he had to finish three questions before he could meet his master, if he could not do it in his life, he would not meet his master in his life.
Of course, people cannot feel desperate at the beginning, so the first question Mao Geng chose a heavy hammer wall clock. This may be done in half a year, but it will not cause people to lose the patience of waiting.
