But Du Shiniang said: "I think that scholar seems to be sincere!"
Xie Yuelang asked: "How do you see it?"
Du Shiniang said: "The sound of the flute."
Xie Yuelang said: "What flute sound? The flute he played? That flute is really long!"
Du Shiniang gave Yuelang a white look, and said, "What are you thinking His flute is really good!"
Xie Yuelang said: "Why didn't I hear it?"
Du Shiniang said: "This is called 'Ling De sing high words, recognize the music and listen to the truth'."
"What's true and false? Men don't even mean it! If Ten Sisters don't believe me, I'll seduce him and show you how to see if he's a good man." After finishing speaking, Xie Yuelang went out. cabin.
Xie Yuelang came to the bow, saw Ji Xu was still standing there staring at him, so he came to his side and said, "Young master, you are so elegant, what are you looking at?"
"Oh, I didn't see anything." Ji Xu smiled at Xie Yuelang, and looked away.
"It's windy outside, come in the cabin!"
"Okay, here we come." Ji Xu followed Xie Yuelang into the cabin.

[2] "Today's Good Banquet" Anonymous
Today is a good banquet, and the joy is hard to describe.
? The zither is playing vigorously, and the new sound is wonderful.
Ling De sings high words, recognizes the music and listens to the truth.
?Union of one heart and one wish, the meaning is not declared.
?Life is sent for the rest of my life, dying suddenly like flying dust.
Why don't you plan to be a high-ranking student, first according to Lu Jin.
Doing nothing to keep the poor and humble, the ups and downs are long and hard.
It was getting dark, and the boat was moored on the shore.
The third child of the Zhou family took Xiao Si to the shore restaurant to buy food and wine, and the seven of them had dinner and fun in the big suite of the boss Zhou.
Today's banquet is really great!
The joy is beyond words. Just talking about the qin and se [1], the girls play it so elegantly It's the most fashionable Hu music, it's just wonderful!
The girls tried their best to attract Ji Xu. But they played and sang for more than an hour, but did not attract Ji Xu's attention, so the girls got together and muttered.
The young master asked curiously on Wednesday: "What are you three discussing?"
Du Shiniang said: "Don't care about your business, go drink your wine!"
Wednesday said: "Don't tell me, tell me, what are you three holding back?"
Xu Susu said: "We are talking about why that handsome guy with fluttering white hair doesn't leave the room all day, what is he doing?"
Tuesday said: "Why, you must be thinking about his girlfriend! Didn't you hear the song he played when we set off this morning, how sad is it?"
Young Master Zhou went on to say: "Yes, he is alone and lonely, unlike us - there are groups of beauties, how carefree he is."
Wednesday smiled and said: "Hey, let's be more generous and let him give him a beautiful womanLook, who among you will go to accompany him and comfort his lonely little heart, and you can earn two more by the way "
Du Shiniang scolded displeasedly: "A dog can't spit out ivory, so go! I'll give you all the money-making good things."
?Wednesday said unceremoniously: "Yes, I just don't know if this man has a 'sleeve-breaking habit' [referring to homosexuality]."
Xie Yuelang did take a fancy to Ji Xu and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I wanted to comfort him, but he didn't like me and shut me out."Jia Zhengli said: "Oh~, why is this person so secretive? He dares to neglect my sister Lang so much. I'll go over and have a look" After finishing speaking, he walked out of the cabin door.
Opposite the door was Ji Xu's room, and Jia Zhengli knocked on the door.
After a while, Ji Xu came and opened the door, and seeing a scholar dressed as a literati, he politely invited him into the guest room.
Jia Zhengli said: "I am Jia Zhengli who came to Chengdu from Yangzhou to play."
Ji Xu saluted again, "My surname is Ji, my name is Xu, and the character begins."
Jia Zhengli returned the courtesy and said: "Brother Kaiduan, yes, it's playing and singing, why don't you come and join in the fun?"
"Oh, in my little brother's room, I can also hear it very clearly."
"How did you play and sing?"
Ji Xu said: "The new sound is wonderful, you can recognize the music and listen to its truth."
How could Jia Zhengli understand such polite words. I thought, it must be a good word, so I pretended to smile knowingly, and said: "Then let's go over and have fun together!"
But Ji Xu said: "I won't go there, little brother. I'll read for a while and prepare for next year's spring exam."
"Why do you take that test? How can we be prodigal sons"
"Life is like a tourist staying in a hotel, and like dust, which is blown away by the wind in a short while."
"What kind of wind and soil, the elder brother doesn't understand, but the elder brother understands that life is short, enjoy yourself in time."
"Brother Zhengli is also a man of culture. Since he understands that life is short, don't waste time. Man, once in the world, the value of life must always be reflected. Why don't we learn more skills, get a Jinshi, and come to him Is it possible to get ahead and occupy a high position? This will not only enjoy the wealth and glory, but also stop wasting life, and reflect the value of life?"
"Brother Kaiduan is right! Then don't waste your time, just keep studying!" After Jia Zhengli finished speaking, he turned around and left. When he arrived at the door, he turned around again, "We are so noisy, doesn't it affect your study?!"
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay!"
"Then excuse me." After finishing speaking, Jia Zhengli hurried out the door.

Notes
[1] Qinse
According to literature records, Fuxi invented the qin and se. Both the qin and the harp are made of sycamore wood with a hollow cavity and silk ropes as strings. At the beginning, the Qin had five strings, and later it was changed to seven strings; the harp had twenty-five strings. The purpose of ancient people's invention and use of Qinse is to smooth the energy of yin and yang and purify people's hearts.
So, what is the difference between "qin" and "se"?
Qin, known as Qin and Yaoqin in ancient times. It is called guqin and lyre in modern times. There are records in "Book of Songs", "Zuo Zhuan", "Mandarin Language", "Lu Shi Chunqiu" and other documents. The piano is about 130 cm long, 20 cm wide and 5 cm thick. Usually paulownia is the surface and catalpa is the bottom. There are seven strings, and there are thirteen emblems on the surface of the piano, which are the overtone positions and also play the role of phoneme marks. There are three kinds of timbres: quiet and vigorous scattered tones, crystal clear and ethereal overtones, and gentle and delicate pressing tones. Its volume is small, and it is used for solo, qin and flute ensemble or qin song. It is one of the oldest stringed instruments in China
Se, an ancient stringed instrument that plays a board box. The name of Se is unknown. In the ancient book "Shi Ming. Shi Instruments", there is "Se, Shi Xianzhang Zhiseran". It is considered that the name of Se is due to its sound. This explanation is somewhat far-fetched. Se is generally used in court music, often in harmony with the qin. In ancient banquet ceremonies and activities, zi was often used to accompany singing. There is a record in the "Book of Songs": "Yo Yo Luming, the apple of the wild food, I have a guest, playing the zither and playing the sheng Yo Yo Luming, the sweetness of the wild food, I have a guest, playing the zither and the qin. The drum and the qin, Harmonious and exquisite, I have a special wine, with the heart of a guest of Yanle." The body of the violin is rectangular, with a wooden speaker, the surface of the violin is slightly raised, and most of them are twenty-five strings.
First of all, as can be seen from the picture above, the shape of the qin is large at one end, the strings are drawn from the thin end, and shoot toward the other end in a divergent manner. As described in ancient books, the curved surface of the qin symbolizes the sky, and the flat bottom of the qin symbolizes the earth, the so-called "round sky and earth". And Se is a standard rectangle, and the strings are distributed in parallel (with attached drawings).
Second, the number of strings of the qin and the harp is different, and the qin generally has 7 strings. However, the strings of the se are generally more, from 50 strings in ancient times to 25 strings now. Li Shangyin said: "Jinse has fifty strings for no reason", there is a saying in ancient literature that the harp is divided into zithers. It is recorded in Tang Zhaolin's "Yinhualu": ??"Zheng, Qin Yue, is the stream of the Qin (one is the Qin). The fifty strings of the ancient zither, since the Yellow Emperor ordered the plain girl to play the zither, the emperor was more than sad, broke it, and since then the zither has come. Twenty-five strings. The people of Qin played the zither, brothers fought over it, and broke it into two. The name of the zither began from then on.”
Third: In terms of social atmosphere, Qin is endowed with an elegant meaning. It is said that only literati can play the qin, and they have to burn incense, bathe, or even fast, and those with low status cannot play the qin. And Se's entertainment and casualness are great, regardless of status.
Fourth, the biggest difference between Guqin and Zhengse is:
The zither has a bridge, and one string, one yard and one tone can only be played through the fingerings of pressing, pressing, and releasing with the left hand when playing, and slides and changing sounds can be played on the left side of the bridge.
However, the piano has no bridge, and the left hand can be used to press the fingers to form a tone. One string has multiple notes and can be tuned by empty strings, pressed strings, and half-pressed strings (overtones). Therefore, the Guqin has only seven strings but has a wider range than the Guzheng. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)nbsp; Fourth, the biggest difference between Guqin and Zhengse is:
