************

Xia Zhaowu would have been too lazy to talk to him if it was someone else who he didn't know, but the person in front of him seemed familiar.She looked at her brother-in-law blankly, and as her brother-in-law, Liu Sang shrugged gracefully, meaning what are you looking at?It's useless to look at me.

She had no choice but to look at her sister again, and Xia Yingchen said angrily: "This is the second son of Xihai Town, didn't he live in Ningyun City for a while the year before last? The second son's master is Wuse Pavilion Huo Daoist, you are considered to be from the same school as you."

Yue Ziming smiled far-fetchedly and said, "Half a year ago, I went to Lingwu Mountain with my master as a brother. I met my junior sister once. I think my junior sister probably forgot."

Xia Zhaowu was surprised and said, "The brother who was thrown into the lake by my palm..."

Yue Ziming burst into tears: "It's me!" He thought she knew.

Xia Yingchen was also helpless, when Yue Ziming was in Ningyun City the year before last, he obviously had a great impression of his younger sister, but it's a pity that his younger sister didn't have any impression of him at all.Yue Ziming worships Huo Zhenren in Wuse Pavilion as his teacher, and his younger sister's master, Mrs. Yue, has a lot of connections with Wuse Pavilion. The two can barely be regarded as brothers and sisters of the same school. The face, but now it seems that my sister didn't think of this "brother who was beaten into the lake" at all with the young man who blushed when he saw her in Ningyun City two years ago, or, in other words, from the beginning In the end, she didn't take such a person seriously.

I can't help but feel that the second son is quite pitiful.

Of course, on the other hand, Xia Yingchen actually doesn't want her sister to have too much relationship with Yue Ziming, not because she has any bad feelings for Yue Ziming. Among the children, they can be regarded as young and promising.But after all, Yue Ziming is the son of Duke Yu, and Duke Zhiyu's ambition is well known.Besides, Yue Ziming is neither the eldest son nor the heir, so instead of letting his younger sister marry to Xihai Town, it is better to find the eldest son of a wealthy family in Ningyun City, and he can take care of it himself.

The chimes sounded.

The so-called chime bells are oblate bells made of bronze, hung on the bell frame according to the pitch, and played with wooden hammers. It began in the Shang Dynasty and flourished in the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was a must for the banquets of princes and nobles.The production of chime bells is extremely costly and resource-intensive. It is a combination of three minerals, tin, copper, and lead. It has been perfected after many times of fire treatment, and the yield rate is extremely low.The early chime bells were only three sets and five sets, but later, they developed to 61 sets and 65 sets, which became a symbol of the status of princes.

The "non-music" of the Mohists is opposed to this kind of extravagant court music that wastes human and financial resources.

After the music started, everyone entered the table, Wang Ziwu saw that Yue Ziming had an ambiguous attitude towards Xia Zhaowu, so he arranged the two of them to sit on the right side of Liu Sang and Xia Yingchen.

Everyone sat on the ground, served with food and wine, and performed songs and dances.

Yue Ziming paid great attention to Xia Zhaowu, and explained the rhythm to him with the music of chime bells.Xia Zhaowu had no interest in phonology at first, but because of her brother-in-law's talk about painting in the palace in the afternoon, although she didn't understand it, but because she was her brother-in-law, seeing him sitting on the stage and killing everyone with arrogance still deeply touched her. I feel proud, and at the same time, I have some interest in such things as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. How long can this interest be maintained without talking about it?

Liu Sang sat at the side, and he also heard Yue Ziming's explanation of the rhythm. Although he also got some music scores and a few rhythm books from the ancient jade, he didn't study it carefully. The five tones of "Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu" can basically be equivalent to "Duo, La, Mi, Fa, Suo" in his previous life, "Twelve ancient tones" and the "Twelve equal temperaments" in the West. ", and there are similarities in the same way, it seems that music really knows no borders.

Yue Ziming obviously has a very high attainment in rhythm, but it's a pity that he was sitting next to Xia Zhaowu, and he was a little nervous, which reminded Liu Sang that he was more or less like this when he was with his wife before.

The more I like it in my heart, the less I dare to express it.

Yue Ziming was flattering the beauties on one side, but annoyed someone on the other side, and said loudly: "Second Young Master's research on rhythm is really good, but it's a pity that this thing is not beneficial to the country and harmful to the people. Yin skills. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, only 'books' can manage a family and govern the country, and the rest are all trivial skills." The name of this person is Pan Jun, who is the son of the doctor of the dynasty. The Pan family was originally a famous family. It is Xia Yingchen's suitor, now that Xia Yingchen is married, he has no choice but to turn to pursue his sister.

Pan Jun didn't know that Xia Zhaowu was only interested in this aspect because of his brother-in-law's discussion on painting in the afternoon. Seeing that Yue Ziming talked more and more happily, Xia Zhaowu actually listened with great interest, and couldn't help but feel jealous and questioned aloud.

As soon as everyone heard this, they knew that Pan Jun was provocative, and immediately looked at Yue Ziming.Yue Ziming said: "Brother Pan's words have been exaggerated. The way of qin music was pursued by many ancient sages. It can not only cultivate emotions, but also educate people. How can it be regarded as a trivial skill?"

Pan Jun sneered and said: "The so-called cultivating sentiments is originally for self-entertainment, and the so-called enlightening the people is just a matter of course. Qin music is just like painting. First, it can't govern the country, and second, it can't be eaten. I am a good man. If you have the ambition to help the king and the country, now there are bandits everywhere, and many people have no food to eat, and the second son doesn't know the suffering of the people, but here he talks about the useless way of singing and music, isn't it ridiculous?"

Yue Ziming opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to argue.Seeing that he didn't speak, Pan Jun criticized him even more, as if the country was facing a crisis now, but Yue Ziming was talking loudly here, without any worries about the country and the people. .

Although Xia Zhaowu felt dissatisfied, talking about the rhythm, how can there be such a big problem, but seeing Yue Ziming's eloquent talk about the rhythm just now, when he was forced to question him, he immediately became speechless, so he couldn't help but look down When I got up, I thought to myself, does this person only dare to behave when he is around girls?

She didn't know that Pan Jun had caught Yue Ziming's weakness. He attacked Yue Ziming with the theme of "national affairs are higher than vocal music, a good man should have great ambitions". Helping Wang Anbang is more important, but in his capacity, he dare not show his "great ambitions".

It should be known that Yue Ziming is only the second son and a concubine, and he puts his love on music and mountains and rivers out of interest, but why is it not out of helplessness?

Xia Zhaowu is a woman, and since "Purple Phoenix" Xia Ning was entrusted in Ningyun City, she is only the fourth generation, and has not formed a large intricate family. Elder sister, elder sister treats her well, how can she know the hardships of a big family bastard like Yue Ziming?

Pan Jun asked such a difficult question. If Yue Ziming said that the way of vocal music is more important than state affairs, it is obviously inappropriate, but he dare not show that he is not only obsessed with music, but also cares about state affairs. The occasion shows "big ambition", once it is passed back to the family, the consequences are really unpredictable.

Seeing that Yue Ziming was tongue-tied and wanted to show it in front of Xia Zhaowu, but he was so scrupulous that Xia Zhaowu didn't feel a little impatient when he saw his appearance, Pan Jun secretly laughed in his heart.

Although Yue Ziming was the honored guest at this banquet, Pan Jun was not afraid of offending him at all. Because of his low status in the Yue family, he was sent to such a dangerous place at such an important juncture when rumors arose. Yue Ziming's background had already determined his future status.

On the contrary, it was Pan Jun. Although the Pan family was far inferior to the Yue clan, it was still a well-known family. Pan Jun himself was the eldest son who was relegated, and it was a matter of time before he inherited the family business. Young Yugong would never stand up for a bastard and such a trivial matter.

Pan Jun continued to mass-produce the three skills of piano, chess, and painting, pointing out that the existence of these three skills is a disaster for the country and the people. Although everyone knows that he is criticizing juggling, he is actually referring to Sang Huai, insinuating that Yue Ziming is addicted to vocal music, but an embroidered pillow , to no avail.It's just that it's not easy for others to stand up for Yue Ziming in this kind of thing, not to mention that Zhiyu Gong's reputation is not good in the first place, and Yue Ziming is even a bastard. Look at the joke.

Just when even Xia Zhaowu began to feel that indulging in this kind of acrobatics is really useless, and Yue Ziming is even more empty-handed, a soft voice came from the side: "Brother Pan's words are wrong."

Everyone looked at it immediately, and found that the person who spoke was actually the attached horse of Ningyun City.
