The prince does not fight for the heir

Chapter 116 New Musical Notes
After seeing off Mr. Zhou Xiang, going back to the house for lunch, and taking a short rest, Fu Xuechen returned to the classroom again, taking advantage of the time before the guzheng teacher arrived, to review the several Chinese knotting methods learned in the morning again.

When I was a student in my previous life, I was nervous about studying, and I was addicted to video games and watching dramas during the holidays. After work, I was often forced to work overtime. On occasional rest days, I either went home to see my parents, or stayed at home to lie dead. I felt physically and mentally exhausted every day. On the contrary, it is through the time and space of ancient times that we have the opportunity to experience the joy of doing handicrafts.

It's just started to learn how to make nets, and Fu Xuechen has already thought about some good-looking nets to make for herself. By the way, she also thought that if she made more, she could give Fu Yuchen some.

What is most worth looking forward to is that I will learn to tailor clothes in the future. Those beautiful Hanfu that I can only find on the Internet in future generations can try to make them all by myself after I learn how to tailor them.

The exquisite carriage stopped, and Liu Xufei jumped to the ground with the support of the personal maid, and was greeted by the servants of the Fu family. After seeing the mistress of the Fu family as usual, she walked slowly towards the inner courtyard. around, eye-catching.

"Meet Mr. Liu!"

"Miss Fu is free!"

In the classroom of Qingtong Academy, the teacher and the student finally met and greeted each other.

Liu Xufei only felt his eyes light up, and was amazed for a moment by Fu Xuechen's appearance that seemed to be a mixture of pure and charming temperament, especially the pair of big black eyes that seemed to be full of curiosity at any time, even more so. Eye-catching, the magic is that seeing these eyes will give people the illusion of seeing a whole starry sky.

At the same time, Fu Xuechen secretly looked at the young female gentleman in front of her with curiosity. This was the first time she had come into contact with a geisha so closely.

Sure enough, Liu Xufei was able to become a well-known newcomer geisha in the capital of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. In addition to her status as an apprentice of Master Yan, Liu Xufei's beautiful appearance is also a necessary condition for her success. When Fu Xuechen saw her, it was as if she had seen In the showbiz of later generations, some young flowers who became popular just because of their beautiful photos.

According to Mrs. Xie, the guzheng master she originally wanted to invite was Mr. Yan, but unfortunately Mr. Yan declined. This is not because the Fu family could not afford the price—it is very expensive to listen to Mr. Yan playing the guzheng, but if you can teach students, It is not Master Yan who plays for the students, on the contrary, students are asked to perform for Master Yan, so the tuition fee is not expensive.

The reason why Master Yan declined is because she only teaches outstanding students who need to advance. For beginners like Fu Xuechen who still need to learn the basics, it is a waste of both parties to invite her directly: Fu's family wasted money, and she was wasted. time.

So Master Yan recommended to Mrs. Xie her apprentice Liu Xufei who had just graduated from the teacher. As compensation, she promised that if Fu Xuechen achieved success in her studies in the future, she would give Fu Xuechen priority in providing advanced guidance.

Liu Xufei is a newcomer to the Jiaofang Division. Although she has earned some fame when she was just a fledgling, it has not yet stabilized. In addition, the Jiaofang Division oppresses newcomers, and the commission is not low. high.

In order to earn more money, Liu Xufei happily took over the part-time job of teaching Guzheng from the Fu family.

Seeing the guzheng placed in front of Fu Xuechen, Liu Xufei smiled: "Today is the first day I teach you the guzheng, but I will not teach you the fingering of the guzheng directly, I suggest that we start by learning the notes, okay? "

Probably because he was too young, Liu Xufei didn't have the slightest aura of a gentleman. He treated Fu Xuechen like a big sister next door, and even asked the students for their opinions.

Fu Xuechen had a good impression of her, and stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture: "Students don't know notation yet, sir should teach from the beginning, he can teach as he wants, students just listen to it."

Liu Xufei smiled and nodded, seeing behind her the wooden bracket Zhu Jiuniang left there in the morning, and the newly replaced rice paper, she immediately used it, picked up the writing brush on the case, dipped it in ink, and wrote a few words on the paper. Character.

"Up, ruler, work, six, five."

Every time Liu Xufei wrote a word, Fu Xuechen would read that word, confused, but she still had some impression of the music score recorded by the fourth prince Yunzhen, and found that these five words all appeared on the music score.

Hearing Fu Xuechen's voice reading these words, Liu Xufei almost couldn't hold back his laughter. When he stabilized, Fang turned his head and put down the brush, explaining to Fu Xuechen: "Before the Great Yan Empire, these five sounds were Gong, Shang , Jiao, Zheng, Yu, the sounds they represent are like this: ah~ah~ah~ah~ah~”

"!!..."

Fu Xuechen felt that his three views had been impacted, and at the same time, he suddenly felt that Shang, Chi, Gong, Liu, and Wu were Do, Lai, Mi, Suo, and La respectively!What about Fa and Xi?
Liu Xufei was still explaining, and added two inflections on the paper, Biangong and Bianzheng, which are Fa and Xi, which are currently recorded as Fan and B. In addition, there are three bass consonants, Si and B. and a soprano student.

In total, there are eleven tones in total: He, Si, B, Shang, Chi, Gong, Fan, Liu, Wu, Yi, Sheng. If Fu Xuechen is sung with the sound names familiar from his previous life, it is Suolaxiduolaimi Shivering Laxi duo.

"Many of us are not easy to turn the corner, memorize the names of these eleven sounds, and be able to see the characters and sing the sounds familiarly, or barely remember it, but sing it incorrectly, or even Incomplete tone."

"For the rest of the time, you might as well practice slowly and master it as soon as possible." Liu Xufei asked Fu Xuechen to practice as soon as possible after teaching eleven phonetic names, and the best thing is to be able to read and sing accurately.

Fu Xuechen took a piece of paper, first wrote down the names of the eleven sounds taught by Liu Xufei, and then marked them with Arabic numerals one to seven at the bottom, and dotted small black dots under the three low notes of 5, 6, and 7. The treble 1 is on the top, which is the musical notation of songs commonly used by folks in later generations.

With the self-made comparison table of ancient and modern musical notes, Fu Xuechen was full of confidence: "Sir, I have learned it!"

"Really?" Liu Xufei raised his eyebrows, spread out a piece of paper again, and took a pen to list seven or eight lines of Chinese characters with phonetic names on it, all of which were in disordered order: "Then you try to put these paragraphs Sing a different song again?"

"Sir, wait a moment!" Fu Xuechen also took another piece of paper, compared with the self-made note list, and quickly transcribed the seven or eight lines of Chinese character score fragments given by Liu Xufei into digital numbered notation that he was familiar with.

This process took a very short time, but within a minute, Fu Xuechen had finished transcribing, and immediately sang confidently to the notes in his hand: "Mifamilaiduoduolaimi..."

"Huh?" Liu Xufei was surprised to find that Fu Xuechen had sung all the pieces of the songs listed by her correctly after practicing for the first time!One sound is right!
This is the first time she has seen someone who has learned the name of the sound and how to sing so quickly. Is there such a genius in rhythm? !
Liu Xufei didn't believe in evil, and wrote a few new scores again, but Fu Xuechen was right at all. After converting it into modern numbered notation, he sang it right again!

Just kidding, in her previous life, she started learning numbered notation since the first grade of elementary school, learning piano and staff notation at the same time, has she been learning it for almost ten years?It's just a change of Chinese notation. If you know which modern notes those Chinese characters correspond to, then it's not easy to read and sing.

Liu Xufei was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses and looked at Fu Xuechen as if she had seen a ghost. It was only at this time that she suddenly recalled what Fu Xuechen said just now?Trembling?Shouldn't it be ah~ah~ah~?
"Wait! What are you singing? Do-re-mi?" Liu Xufei asked.

"Oh! This!" Fu Xuechen smiled, pointing to the five standard tones and two inflections written by Liu Xufei on the board, and said: "These seven standard tones, in the absence of libretto, I personally I'm used to singing them as Do Re Mi Fa Sao Laxi, which helps me remember them."

Liu Xufei was very surprised, and simply walked over, wanting to see what Fu Xuechen was writing down with a pen and paper just now: "Then you were just writing down... Huh? What did you write down?" She saw the numbered numbered notation.

Fu Xuechen kindly told her: "These seven numerals are Arabic numerals. I think they are very simple and easy to remember, so I used them to mark the phonetic names. The high-pitched names are marked with small black dots above the numbers, and the low-pitched names are marked with black dots. A small black dot is marked under the number, and the beat is still marked with a bar line, and each beat is a bar line, and four beats are four bar lines."

Liu Xufei couldn't help asking: "What about the legato? Do the two notes take up only one beat or half a beat?"

After she finished asking, she realized that she was confused. She hadn't taught the students further music notation knowledge such as beat symbols and syllables!Just ask the other party how to mark it, and how the other party can answer it!
Fu Xuechen blinked, and didn't tell the other party when he came up, but asked: "What is legato?"

"Oh! Lianyin is..."

Liu Xufei hurriedly continued to explain to Fu Xuechen the meaning of the rest of the notes and how to express them in Chinese characters. This lecture went on for a quarter of an hour, and then she realized that she was only focused on speaking, not paying attention to whether the students understood or not. ah!
Quickly looking at Fu Xuechen, Fu Xuechen handed the note paper to her with a smile: "I use the arc connected to the top of the note to express the legato, and the underline below the note to express the rhythm..."

Fu Xuechen clearly marked all the musical note knowledge that Liu Xufei just explained on this small page.

Liu Xufei became more and more amazed as he looked at it, and at the end, only a dazed expression remained. Is it that simple?Didn't even write a single word, but just used a few simple and easy-to-remember symbols to include so much music score information that would have taken a lot of time to write?

Seeing that Liu Xufei seemed to have turned into a statue, holding his chin with one hand and holding the paper with the other, standing there motionless, Fu Xuechen stuck out his tongue quietly, as if he was going too far?Is there anyone who can learn all the knowledge of musical notes so quickly?Also marked all the knowledge of musical notes in the most concise and straightforward way?

For a long time, Liu Xufei didn't put down the paper until he felt that he had memorized Fu Xuechen's simple method of notation and notation, then looked at Fu Xuechen again, thought for a while and asked, "This is the method you figured out by yourself, how about you?" It should be clear what they mean, right?"

Fu Xuechen nodded: "Yes! I am naturally familiar with the things I came up with."

Liu Xufei said, "Then I'll sing a piece of music for you, and you try to write the score in your own way, is that okay?"

"Yes!" Fu Xuechen agreed.

Liu Xufei hummed a short song on the spot. Because she was afraid that Fu Xuechen would not be able to keep up with the rhythm, she specially chose a song with a slow four-beat rhythm. The structure of three repeated turns is beautiful and simple.

But because of the simplicity, she had just finished humming, and Fu Xuechen also made the last stroke, and handed her the digital numbered notation: "Here, sir, I'll memorize it!"

So fast? !Liu Xufei was almost paralyzed by shock today, took the numbered notation and read it carefully twice, compared with the symbols memorized just now, he could understand it easily, and he could see that there was no mistake at all!

If everyone can use such simple symbols to record music scores in the future, it will be... an earthquake-like change in rhythm!Thinking of this, Liu Xufei couldn't help feeling hot all over, faintly excited.

But after all, she is too young and her qualifications are too low. Even if Darong abolishes the previous system of dividing people into three, six, and nine grades, there is no such thing as a lowly status, but the world treats her like this by relying on others in the Jiaofang Division. Women who play musical instruments and sing music to earn money to support themselves still have the meaning of discrimination. If she initiates it, such a good notation method will probably be buried.

You have to ask a teacher to do it!The master has a wide network and a great reputation, maybe she can!Liu Xufei had an idea in mind, and immediately tried to make a request to Fu Xuechen: "Miss Fu, can you give me this sheet music?"

"Sir, if you need it, just take it." Fu Xuechen didn't care about this handwritten notation.

"Thank you, Ms. Fu!" Liu Xufei thanked solemnly, not only because of Fu Xuechen's noble status as the daughter of the Marquis, but also because Fu Xuechen probably created a new generation of music score recording method, which is an amazing achievement!
It just so happened that the class scheduled in advance was coming to an end, Liu Xufei didn't want to delay any more, bid farewell to Fu Xuechen, a special student, and was politely sent out of the house by Fu's maid, she immediately flew into the car and ordered to come pick her up The groom rushed towards Master Yan's residence.

Master Yan's real name is Yan Ruhua, and she is currently one of more than ten musical instrument masters in the Jiaofang Division. She often has to perform at major celebrations in the court or at receptions for state guests who come to congratulate the court, so her residence is Jiaofang. In the hutong of the company's headquarters, he lived alone in a large courtyard with three entrances, and his men not only kept the maids and maids, but also guarded the house.

In other words, the Darong Empire only allowed widows with sons to set up female households. Otherwise, the property owned by Yan Ruhua, who was nearly [-] years old and unmarried, had already qualified her to apply for the establishment of female households.

In the afternoon, when Yan Ruhua had no performance assignments, she would usually teach her disciples at home—she had quite a few disciples, five or six of them, except for those who had passed the qualifications, there were still two female disciples left. studying.
